Forest, Sombra and Vlad
"I did WHAT?!"
Ferum looked down from where he appeared "You mean...I dived into my own shadow?"
Sombra sighed "Yes you did. Come on, the name speaks for itself!"
Ferum opened his Panel again "Well, yeah, makes sense, but..." there was a new icon resembling a timer "..the hell is that, a cooldown?"
Sombra was able to see it as well "No, I have managed to make this spell work without any recharges, except for energy, obviously"
Ferum rubbed back of his head "That's convenient to be honest" the timer was about to run out "But I really don't like where this is go-"
A sudden jolt of pain in his back head took him by surprise. Ferum wasnt even able to hiss or gasp, before his right arm started to hurt a lot. Ferum yelped and grabbed it.
Sombra groaned in his head "What is that?!"
"How am I supposed to know?!" After that, Vlad's disquise stopped working. His dragon form evaporated, leaving human even more baffled "Oh man, I KNEW something was going to happen!" he hid behind the rock.
Sombra pointed something out "You arm, it's...Becoming purple?"
Vlad looked at his limb. Sombra was correct. His forearm became darker. What was even more confusing, there was a...Hoofprint?
This is when Vlad realized what could that be "Wait, I got my arm hurt like that when Apple Jack pounced on me the first day!.." the wound dissapeared and Vlad clenched and unclenched his fist "But why is it coming ba-"
Another jolt of pain, which was even more powerful, made Vlad bit his tongue. This time it was left arm. Vlad raised his hand, noticing a deep cut in his palm.
Sombra seemed to understand what was happening too. He groaned and managed to say something "That's..The wound changeling left you with the kni" he suddenly stopped talking.
Even though it was painful, Vlad was much more concerned about Sombra's reaction "Why did you cut yourself out?"
Sombra seemed to gulp "..remember how you mentioned the lack of pain in the past?"
Vlad's wound started to dissapear again, but he decided to stay on the ground "Uh, yeah...Why?"
"It seems to be coming back. Like a delayed payback"
Vlad processed it. He then perked up and panicked "W-WA- WAIT! HOLD ON!" he grabbed his head "That also means that my left arm is going to..."
Vlad looked at his left limb, which was already in a bad shape. It was reddish up to the shoulder. There were some darker red lines seen on it. Last time, Vlad managed to respawn before feeling any pain from the explosion. But now..
Vlad was already running around the rock "NO NO NO! I will just die from the pain shock! WHAT DO WE DO?!"
Sombra however, was calm "Well, I won't die" he then sighed "Don't worry, you will be fine. After all, everething healed up earlier"
Vlad stopped running and answered, mostly angry and annoyed "Didn't you hear me?! It's going to be the pain shock! And my heart is pretty weak, so-"
Vlad blinked one time. After he opened his eyes, human found himself in his head, alongside Sombra. The unicorn was standing in front of the garden, which was built by Vlad the last time he was there.
"- it might just...Stop..?"
Sombra quickly turned his head around. Vlad noticed that his 'eye waves' were gone now, along with the armor. Unicorn was holding a watering can with his magic.
Vlad looked at the flowers and then back on Sombra "..I guess I'm still alive?"
Sombra teleported the can away "I told you that everething was going to be fine" he regained his posture.
Vlad raised his arms in the air, frustrated "Fine for you, but not me!" his eyes widened "Wait, I'm still unconscious! What is someone finds me?!" he started to walk circles around the garden, mumbling something to himself.
Sombra sighed, seemingly annoyed "Calm down now, did you forget who do you have on your side?"
Vlad stopped and looked at the unicorn "What are you trying to say?"
Sombra smirked "Well, guess it's good to help somepony sometimes, right? I guess I can distract myself from this world and give you a hoof"
Vlad just stared at Sombra "..you know, if I wasn't surprised and grateful, I would have already dropkicked you" he was calm now, due to the unicorn's behavior.
Sombra raised his eyebrow "Is that how you thank me for helping you?"
Vlad shrugged "Well, you didn't do anything yet..."
Sombra was about the object once again "Oh, well now look-"
This was when the whole 'head' world shuddered. The ground felt like it was about to split apart, some trees fell and Sombra with Vlad fell down. It ended as suddenly as it started. Everething was kinda fine, apart from the forest and a little cracks in the earth here and there.
Vlad hissed and rubbed his head "The hell was that?"
Sombra had a bit worried face "I'm...Afraid that we might have been finally found"
Vlad looked at the unicorn "What do you me-" and then he understood "..oh.."
Sombra looked up at the sky, so did Vlad. It looked normal at first. But upon looking closer, Vlad managed to notice that there was a small, translucent gap... And it was getting bigger.
Vlad sweated "I... Guess it's too late to wake up now?"
Sombra nodded "Unfortunately. Even if you do, Luna is still going to come through" he looked at Vlad "I can wake you up if you wish, though"
Vlad hummed "..I think it would be better if I stayed. I mean, you guys must have had a few fights earlier, right?"
Sombra frowned "That's an understatement..." he snorted "And what about your so called 'second identity'?"
Vlad waved a hand "I started doing it only because I thought it was badass... Which I actually find stupid right now"
Sombra smirked "Then why are you keeping this whole 'disguise' nonsense up?"
Vlad rubbed his back head "Uh... I don't really know. But I spent 5 entire points for this skill!"
The sky became darker. Some stars started to weakly sparkle across the whole world. The sky itself started to partially split apart. It was obvious that time was running out.
Sombra rolled his eyes "I'm sure that you have a better answer" he then focused on the sky "Let's leave this talk for later"
Vlad nodded and sweated "A- Agreed..."
Finally, the sky got ripped apart, allowing the night to (almost literally) absorb it. The whole world rumbled, as a majestic silhouette started to descend from the rift.
"I HAVE FINALLY FOUND YOU!"
Sombra sweated a bit "Her voice is as powerful as it was..."
Luna landed at high speed, raising a dust cloud as she hit the ground "It appears that I was correct..."
Sombra chuckled nervously "Long time no see, princess"
Luna stood up in full growth "For you, it's Princess Luna" with a single swing of her wing, Luna swept away the cloud of dust, revealing herself "It was a foolish desicion to appear in my domain. I shall eradicate you from this existence here and now"
Sombra snorted "Whoa there, your majesty. Not in front of the young one"
Luna opened her eyes, annoyed "What is that sup-" alicorn silently stared at the human, standing near to Sombra.
Vlad clipped his eyes confused and raised his arm "Hello... Again?"
