Shadow Sky In a New World

Reinforcing Ties.

Shadow Sky - "Wow, this morning is very icy, it's already October so icy weather is common."

Sweetie Belle - "... good morning shadow."

Shadow Sky - "Oh, good morning Sweetie belle."

Sweetie Belle - "I um... I came to return your sweatshirt, yesterday I forgot to return it."

Shadow Sky-"Sure, thanks for taking care of her for me, for a moment I thought I had left her in the castle, do you have something planned for today?"

Sweetie Belle - "No, I think not, exams are almost here, I think I'll go home to study."

Shadow Sky - "Oh, okay, in that case bye, I want to go back to the castle, since it's earlier and there were no classes."

Sweetie Belle - "Okay, be careful."

Shadow Sky - "Thanks Sweetie, see you later or tomorrow."

Sweetie Belle was on the way home and I went to the castle with my backpack to bring the abandoned books from the castle.

Starpilot - "Shadow!"

Shadow Sky - "Oh, hey guys."

Starpilot - "Where do you go? You always go with Sweetie Belle, when we saw that they didn't go together we were curious."

Grassi - "Yes, they look like chewing gum."

Shadow Sky - "Well...Sweetie Belle had things to do and I really don't have anything to do."

StarPilot - "Well... neither are we, and we're bored, what can we do?"

Shadow Sky - "Well... I was planning to go to the castle of the two sisters again."

StarPilot - "...The castle of the two who?"

Shadow Sky - "...Ugh, do you want to do something or not?"

StarPilot and Grassi stared at each other questioning the situation, they still didn't know Shadow much, just fleeting conversations in class but nothing more.

Grassi - "Well, okay... and where is that?"

Shadow Sky - "Come with me."

StarPilot and Grassi - "¿?"

I don't know why everyone is scared of this place, it's just a forest.

StarPilot and Grassi - "The EveryFree Forest?!"

Exactly, that's what I'm talking about.

Shadow Sky - "Yep, is there a problem?"

StarPilot - "Maybe you want to go into the scariest forest in all of equestria?"

Shadow Sky - "Have you visited other forests?"

StarPilot - "Well... no, but I can bet it's the scariest."

Grassi - "Yes, for some reason our parents don't let us go there."

Shadow Sky - "...I see...so they're basically cowards."

Grassi - "What?! Of course not."

Shadow Sky - "Someone brave wouldn't be afraid of a simple forest would they?"

StarPilot - "Hey Grassi, calm down, no need to go inside."

Grassi - "He has played with our pride, we must not leave it like that, we will show you that we can."
*jogging*

StarPilot - "Agh wait Grassi, don't have to... dammit, wait for me!"
*jogging*

Shadow Sky - "...that was easier than I thought haha."

I entered the forest with Star and Grassi, I had a purpose, they are only here to forget boredom.

*crunch*

Grassi - "¡AH!, what was that?"

StarPilot - "You stepped on a branch silly."

Shadow Sky - "Calm down, it's okay, I've been here many times, there's nothing to fear."

StarPilot - "Sure you didn't just fly over the forest?"

Shadow Sky - "Well... yes, but we couldn't do much anyway, Grassi being an earth pony and you being a unicorn let's say it's not possible."

Grassi - "That's not fair, you've never really been in the woods."

Shadow Sky - "Well, I'm here now and I'm not shaking like you Grassi."

Grassi - "Ugh, I'm not shaking!" (Embarrassed)

Shadow Sky - "Yeah, yeah, let's just keep going."

StarPilot - "Look, that's a cave-in."

Shadow Sky - "Judging by the formation of the giant stones, it could be said that if, now that I think about it, on the anniversary of the first rising of the sun, I heard something similar to an avalanche, maybe it was this."

Grassi - "More walking and less talking, I can't stand this place."

Shadow Sky - "I thought you weren't afraid Grassi."

Grassi - "I'm not afraid! I'm just upset."

StarPilot - "And where is that castle supposed to be according to you?"

Shadow Sky - "...Right in front of us."

You could already see the castle from afar, just need to cross the bridge.

Shadow Sky - "Come quickly."

StarPilot - "Do you think it's a good idea Grassi?"

Grassi - "...I think so?"

Star and Grassi were behind me, and we were finally able to enter the castle.

Grassi - "Wow, it's really big here."

Shadow Sky - "Yep, there's a lot of cool stuff here."

StarPilot - "I'm impressed, how come nobody knows
this is here?"

Grassi - "Maybe nobody is interested, or rather they are afraid of the forest."

StarPilot - "I guess the second option is correct, and what are we supposed to do here Shadow... Shadow?"

Grassi - "...was next to me a moment ago."

StarPilot - "...Maybe he went to the library? He likes to read, right?..."

Fear began to run through their bodies.

Grassi - "Well... what could we do, nothing, let's go back, do you want?"

StarPilot - "We can't do that, we can't leave him alone, besides, do you remember how to get back?"

Grassi - "No, but..."

StarPilot - "That's right, we have to look it up."

Grassi - "Ugh, dammit."

Star and Grassi went into the castle to look for me.

StarPilot - "SHADOW!!!"

Grassi - "SHADOW!!!"

StarPilot - "Damn, we've been looking for a long time and it's nowhere to be found... I think we need to go, I'm tired of this."
Grassi - "Good idea *Crack*... huh?"

StarPilot - "Grassi, what did you step onEeEeEEEeeE!!!"

Grassi - "STAR!!!"

Grassi was very upset, as he was walking away from the hole StarPilot had fallen through he made another small mistake.

*crack*

Grassi - "Uh?... or crapAAaAaaaA!!!"

*Blow*

Grassi - "Ouch!!!"

StarPilot - "Grassi?"

Grassi - "Star?"

Grassi and StarPilot - "...and now?... HELP!!!"

A plea for help resounded in my ears at that moment.

Shadow Sky - "...uh, what was that?"

I went directly to the library to put the books in my backpack but I got distracted reading "Ancient equestrence magic.", I think I got too distracted, I can't help it.

Shadow Sky - "...um...guys?!"

I thought they would be fine, I never thought they would be so dumb as to step on a trap...

Shadow Sky - "*crack*... am I an idiotAaAaAaAaAA *Shock*... aww!!!... wow..."

I had gone looking for them and by accident I activated one of the traps that were on the ground, I fell into what seemed to be the dungeon of the castle, despite not being completely finished the castle has a large underground section.

"Help!!!"

Shadow Sky - "...Well, I guess I know what to look for down here..."

Star and Grassi were in the dungeon asking for help, I guess the fact of not having wings makes this situation more complicated for some ponies.

Shadow Sky - "Wow, I've never seen a real dungeon, though I haven't seen any torture mechanisms, maybe those extremes aren't necessary here."

"Help!!!"

Shadow Sky - "I'm coming, I'm coming."

The voices could be heard in the distance, but at least they weren't so far away, it was almost there.

StarPilot - "Ugh damn it, why did we have to come?! It's all your fault and your fucking pride!"

Grassi - "Hey! I never thought this would happen!"

StarPilot - "...ugh...maybe we'll stay here forever...we can't just fly away..."

Grassy- "..."

StarPilot-"..."

Shadow Sky - "...wow, what a pessimist."

StarPilot and Grassi - "...uh?...Shadow!!!"

Shadow Sky - "Were they really going to stay there forever? They know that dungeons and dungeons have entrances and exits, right? They weren't even going to look for a way out?"

Star and Grassi just stared at each other.

Star and Grassi - "Weeeeeeeell..."

Shadow Sky - "...You know what, forget it, let's go, I already have what I was looking for, we have to get out of here."

Going out through the trapdoor through which they fell was not an option, I could get out, but they weren't... and no... I wasn't going to carry them.

StarPilot - "We've been walking for a while now and we haven't found anything, only cells with skeletons of rats, are you sure this has a way out?"

Shadow Sky - "It's a castle, these are cells, for obvious reasons it has an entrance and exit, how would the guards enter to watch the prisoners?"

Grassi - "Touche."

Shadow Sky - "It shouldn't be too far, it's a small castle, it has to end at some point."

StarPilot - "Well... I think you're right..."

We walked for 10 minutes non-stop, it seems they gave priority to underground construction, they were afraid of a cave-in if they built the castle first I guess.

Shadow Sky - "...uh, look, that looks like the skeleton of...a pony."

Star and Grassi - "WHAT?!!!"

Shadow Sky - "Yeah, look...he has a notebook."

Grassi - "Don't take this, what if it's cursed?"

Shadow Sky - "... Grassi, I don't think so... let's see, I'll read it out loud for you to listen too."

Year 1705.

March 12.
Time 2:40 pm:
Today is the day, the day I steel myself to enter the abandoned castle, it will be difficult to cross the forest of chaos, it was the cause of the abandonment of the castle, it must be very dangerous.

Hour 3:15:
Well... that was easy, I suppose that after so long the forest is... "asleep", it no longer has as much activity as it did more than 700 years ago, I suppose that only the castle is missing, luckily the bridge is still firm, I need to be careful, I don't know what may be in the castle.

Hour 5:13:
The castle is very empty, they evicted a large part of the riches and historical things, I have investigated for a long time and I can't find much, oh at least not as many as the "stories" say.

Time 6:56:
Damn!!!, I triggered a trap by mistake, now I'm in some kind of dungeon, I'll have to find a way out, being an earth pony doesn't help in many cases, I could easily fly into the hole I fell through , there is nothing to stack to climb so high, I guess I have no choice, I'll have to find the exit.

March 14.
Hour 3:40:
This is starting to worry me, it's been 2 days since I've been here, I brought some water with me, along with food in case the exploration dragged on, but this is ridiculous, two damn days and I can't find the way out.
March, 15th.

Hour 1:58:
I've screamed like crazy, nobody listens to me, lazy along these same paths every day, I keep walking in the hope of finding a stairway that leads outside... to see the light of day again.

Hour 4:39:
Enough, I don't want everything to end like this, I have to do something, my idea is to make a map in my notebook, so I can know where the roads lead me and not go around in circles.

Hour 8:20:
This is absurd, I walk straight without stopping and there seems to be no end, at this point I am going to finish the pages of my notebook.

March 16.
Time 5:30 [dawn]:
This is... something crazy, bordering on the paranormal, I have an idea, I'll leave this red rag on a stick as a flag at this exact point, I'll walk straight... and see what happens.

Time 7:12:
The flag... is right there... I didn't turn around, I just went in a straight line... I got to the same place... what am I going to do?

28th March.
Time 7:59:
I never thought that the taste of the rats would be decent, cooked they are not so bad, it's been days since I ran out of food, and the water is about to run out.

5th of April.
Time 6:37:
Day after day, I walk miles and miles waiting for an exit to appear out of nowhere... this is turning into hell.

March 12.
Time 2:40 pm:
Darkness is all my eyes see, what I would give to see a rainbow again.

Hour 3:15:
I'm hearing footsteps, maybe someone else is here and knows how to get out of here.

Hour 5:13:
It wasn't a pony...it wasn't an animal...just a black silhouette walking through this damn maze...I'm going crazy...yeah...it's just that hahahahaha, maybe I'm just asleep in my bed and I'll wake up in a few moments hahahahaha.

Time 56:98:
That thing saw me, I haven't woken up, I think I have to wait a little longer haha.

November 74.
Time @$%#:
THAT THING RUN AFTER ME!!!
I'm taking a long time to wake up!!!

July 00.
Time 308:41:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
THIS IS SO FUNNY, IT DOESN'T STOP CHASING ME EVERY TIME I TRY TO WALK.
WHAT A STRANGE SUBJECT!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

@$$#%@$.
%$#%#$@$:
I saw him in the eyes, completely black eyes, enormous height, agony scream... haha... hahahahahahaha.

March 12.
Time 2:40 pm:
I can only lie here and wait for the inevitable... lying... next to the same flag that I put up 318 years ago.
