What an atmosphere, that newspaper left the three of us in shock, I think it is more than obvious that we had to get out of there, and seeing the same flag that the explorer put up more than 300 years ago only made my body tremble more.

Shadow Sky - "Okay...everyone calm down, just fly out the trapdoor, quick, come on."

We run up to the trap door that was thrown at us in the first place.

Shadow Sky - "Okay, we're here!"

StarPilot - "Me first Grassi."

Grassi - "Of course not! I weigh less, me first!"

Shadow Sky - "Agh, hush!! I'll take care of it."

StarPilot - "...wow, what the hell?!!!"

Grassi - "Wow... you're so strong, how the hell can you carry both of us?!"

Shadow Sky - "Exercise I guess, now let's get out of here."

I flew with Star and Grassi to leave the same place we fell but...

*bonks*

Shadow Sky - "Ow!"

Shadow, Star and Grassi - "AAAHHH!!!"

We fell, the hatch closed with us inside, a second before we got out of there.

Shadow, Star and Grassi - "WOW!!"

Shadow Sky - "Agh, dammit."

Grassi - "No... nononono, damn it, we are doomed just like the adventurer!!!"

StarPilot-"Calm down Grassi, maybe it's just a story he wrote to kill boredom."

Grassi-"Sure, and if I make it up, why didn't he just go through the exit instead of dying down here?"

StarPilot-"Maybe he got hurt in the fall."

Shadow Sky - "Impossible, there is no fracture, there are none in the legs and neither in the neck, everything indicates that he ended up dying from starvation and dehydration."

StarPilot - "Great, now you're a doctor too."

Shadow Sky - "It is too obvious, if his cause of death had been a fracture it would be seen in his bones, but it just seems that from one moment to the next he stopped fighting and just lay down to die, also for your information, I have read many books on health and medicine."

Grassi - "That doesn't matter!!!, we just have to get out of here."

StarPilot - "Didn't you hear, there's no way out!"

Shadow Sky - "Shut up both of you, listen, I know this may seem like a hopeless case, but if we just try something we can make it, not just sit around and wait to die."

Grassi - "Okay... okay... calm down and let's think carefully."

StarPilot - "Okay, you know, we could go back to the flag, and figure out a rationale for all of this."

Shadow Sky - "Logic? Since I arrived in Equestria nothing has made sense or logic, you just have to run through the corridors."

Grassi - "I suppose that understanding this is somewhat complicated, let's take care of finding something out of the ordinary."

Shadow Sky-"Good idea, well, let's go get the notebook, he said he made a map in it, let's check what he did."

We immediately ran to the flag to pick up the damned map that might give us an answer.

Shadow Sky - "Okay, let's see, it looks like when we turn left on this path we'll run right into a wall... agh, this is a bit tricky."

An exhausted search, those two could only contain the desire to cry, we just walked without finding the exit, it was terrifying, but for my part something did not add up, I managed to perceive something familiar... a magic that I knew perfectly...

StarPilot - "Shadow, I think this is a basket case... er... are we just dead?"

Grassy- "..."

Grassi saw StarPilot and began to sob, but they weren't going to leave us so calm.

Shadow Sky - "... Grassi, calm down... everything will be-"

*kaboom*

A wall had been destroyed in front of us, it would have been something interesting if it weren't for the fact that that damn thing had knocked down the wall and was ready to chase us, we could only see how that thing turned to us and was preparing to start, we were completely down in shock, but my previous experience in my dimension was enough to react.

Shadow Sky - "!!!RUN!!!"

Star and Grassi rushed back and they didn't waste any time, we ran as fast as possible, it wasn't difficult for me, but Grassi and StarPilot were getting too exhausted.

The Thing - "AAAAAHHHHH!!!"

Heartbreaking scream, only put tension in the chase, but the adrenaline helped me feel the magic more clearly.

Shadow Sky - "THAT'S IT!!!"

It was chaos magic, this place is encapsulated with chaos magic!!!.

Shadow Sky - "Hold on a little longer, follow me without stopping!!!"

They didn't say anything, they just complied, both of them were already crying.
Trotting without rest, I'm surprised that the explorer has resisted for so long, because he will not have attacked him in this way, 300 years ago he only searched at a slow pace, but it seems that after so long he is hungry.
I searched and searched, we lasted a long time like this, I was looking for the most powerful source of magic inside the dungeon, at that moment I knew that it was an infinite loop, the damn flag didn't make it clear, but knowing that and ruling out areas where magic I was weak I did it.

Shadow Sky - "WE'LL BE OUT SOON, COME OUT HERE!!!"

I stand in front of a wall.

Grassi - "SHADOW, WE HAVE TO RUN, THIS IS A WALL."

StarPilot - "LET'S RUN!!!"

Shadow Sky - "JUST WAIT A BIT."

Support my paws on the wall.

Grassi - "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

Shadow Sky - "Just... trust... in meeeee." 

I concentrated my own chaos magic on my paws, pushing against the wall trying to break the seal that held us prisoner.

The Thing - "AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!"

Grassi and Star - "Shadow...?"

Shadow Sky - "¡¡¡Almost... there!!!"

He was making it, the door, THE DUNGEON DOOR.

Shadow Sky - "QUICK, GET THROUGH THE DOOR!!!"

Star and Grassi ran and climbed the stairs that connected to the door, with my best effort to repel the chaos magic with my own chaos magic was exhausting and very difficult to maintain, but before that thing managed to sink its teeth into me I maneuvered to be able to cross the door too.

*Door Slamming*

Grassy- "..."

Star- "..."

Shadow Sky - "*gasp*"

That was incredibly difficult, exhausting and traumatic.

Grassi - "Are you okay?"

Shadow Sky - "Less words, we have to get out of here, NOW."

Grassi and Star - "¡¡¡YES!!!"

We jogged as fast as possible to the main room and when I got there I did what I had to do.

Shadow Sky - "Make it quick, we'll fly away."

Grassi - "YES."

StarPilot - "Are you sure? You look very tired."

Shadow Sky - "Don't worry about that, my priority is to get them safe... both of them equally, so we'll fly away."

Again my heroic sense speaking for me.
We flew over the forest to get to Ponyville... it was a real relief to step on the ground of the town again.

Shadow Sky - "That was... I'm really sorry guys, I didn't know something like this would happen."

Star and Grassi stared at each other, analyzing the situation.

Grassi - "Y-y-your calm Shadow, we-we know this is not planned." tu tranquilo

Star - "Y-Y-Yeah, it's not like this can be planned."

Shadow Sky - "Well... it looks like they're better now... what are they going to do now?"

StarPilot - "I think I'll go to church."

Grassi - "And I'll go home to cry all afternoon."

Shadow Sky - "...I see, well, in that case go and hide in a place where you feel safe, I know there may be some trace of trauma after something shocking like this."

StarPilot - "Are you a Psychologist now?"

Shadow Sky - "Something like that... I guess."

StarPilot - "Okay... we need to forget about all this, come on Grassi, n-n-see you Shadow."

Grassi - "B-b-bye Shadow."

Shadow Sky - "Bye guys."

Shadow Sky - "Church?, what do the ponys pray to?" (Thought)

Storyteller - "......................."

Shadow Sky - "...Well, I think I'll go home."

Sweetie Belle - "Shadow!!"

Sweetie Belle was yelling at me from afar as she inched closer.

Shadow Sky - "Sweetie Belle?, weren't you studying?"

Sweetie Belle - "I finished early, I looked everywhere for you but I couldn't find you, where were you?"

Shadow Sky - *Flashback* "Well... I went to the castle again and brought these books."

Sweetie Belle - "I see, did you have fun?"

Shadow Sky - *Flashback* "...something like that..."

Sweetie Belle - "...Okay?, anyway, do you want to come with me to the awards ceremony that is taking place right now at the mayor's office?"

Shadow Sky - "Award?, okay."

Sweetie Belle - "Okay, come on, we'll get there a little tight but at least we'll get there hehe."

Shadow Sky - "Okay, in that case let's run."

Sweetie Belle and I ran to the town hall, we didn't take long, and there was a lot of daylight, because of the commotion of the castle I lost track of time.

Twilight Sparkle - "Today we are gathered here to honor a very special pony."

Shadow Sky - "Who are you rewarding?"

Sweetie Belle - "Remember that last week there was a stampede?"

Shadow Sky - "He made my milkshake run out of my nose."

Sweetie Belle - "Hahaha, remembering it brings tears of laughter to my eyes Hahaha."

Shadow Sky - "Hehe, I guess that was funny."

Sweetie Belle - "Well, AppleJack saved us from the stampede, so they're rewarding her."

Shadow Sky - "I see...don't you think AppleJack looks...tired?"

Sweetie Belle - "Yeah... well, anyway, what did you read in the library?"

Shadow Sky - "Nothing in particular, I just have them in my saddlebag."

Sweetie Belle - "Well, do you have anything planned?"

Shadow Sky - "Not really, I think I want to go home and rest."

Sweetie Belle - "Alright, see you tomorrow then."

Shadow Sky-"Okay Sweetie Belle, see ya, oh, and I hope AppleJack is feeling better, She's your sister's friend, right?, she looks very exhausted."

Sweetie Belle - "Yeah... well, goodbye shadow."

Shadow Sky - "Goodbye Sweetie Belle."

I went to rest my body and mind at home, I left the saddlebag on the table and went straight to bed, it was tired and scary, thinking about all that gave me a little idea, I closed my eyes and fell asleep even though it was very early.
