Twilight had now come out of the dungeon, with a frazzled mane and looked like she hadn't slept for a week, and was now out onto the surface, Twilight's eyes took a little bit of adjusting to the Sunlight after being in the dark for so long, but after a few seconds, it seemed like she got her clear vision back, and she then soon realized that she had come out from some kind of swamp.
"Okay, now where am I?"
Twilight then got a bit worried that she might end up being lost, but quite conveniently, there was a map near her that showed which location she was currently on, and when she looked at how far she was away from Canterlot, she gulped a bit, knowing that she had to probably walk for hours until she gets there, but, anything at this point was better than staying in that dungeon, so Twilight just decided to take it in, and start on her path on her way back home.
Meanwhile...
Back at Canterlot in Twilight's Family's home, while the whole family was waiting for an update on how their daughter was doing, Celestia was carefully observing the book she had, looking at Twilight's status to see if she was still around, but pretty soon, she found that Twilight's status update with her cutie mark, was no longer available on the book, Celestia then had some mixed thoughts and emotions, and she then decided to go to all the others from Twilight's family who were waiting in the living room, once Celestia came in, the whole group got up, waiting for her answer, eager to her what she had to say, considering she was silent for the past few hours.
"So, Princess Celestia, how is our Twilight doing?"
Celestia then took a moment of pause for her and Twilight's family members, then slowly gave her answer.
"Well, Twilight's status on the book, had disappeared"
The other family members then started trembling and shaking.
"This could only mean either two things, one, she actually managed to find a way to escape the dungeon, and is on her way back, or second...., The Miasma had gotten to her"
The rest of Twilight's parents didn't even want to think of the possibility that their only daughter could have been taken away from them, and Spike and Shining Armor could only hope for the best.
"We have to wait for the next few hours before we can make a one hundred percent confirmation"
So then, the wait had began for Twilight's Family and Princess Celestia, however, for some reason, deep down inside, Princess Celestia had a feeling that Twilight had somehow made it and survived, however, when it was starting to become night time, she and the rest of Twilight's Family started getting more and more worried.
However, just a few minutes after those thoughts, there were some knocks on the door, and when Twilight's Family and Princess Celestia decided to open it, they were pretty shocked to see that it was a couple of Princess Celestia's guards, carrying an Unconscious Twilight with them.
"Sorry to bother you Princess Celestia, but you haven't been back at the Castle for a while, and from the distance, we noticed your star Pupil Twilight Sparkle just collapse to the floor near the castle"
The whole of Twilight's Family couldn't believe it, Twilight was still alive, they then immediately took Twilight into their home, and tried to get her to wake up, but not having much luck.
"Twilight, can you hear us? Please wake up!"
Princess Celestia then noticed the Massive weary hooves that Twilight had and her heavy eyelids.
"I think Twilight is okay and she only just passed out from exhaustion, it's probably best that we let her rest for now"
The whole of Twilight's family nodded then as they then continued doing their things as they waited for Twilight's energy to recover.
A few hours later...
Twilight had now finally began to wake up from her long unconscious nap, and then looked around her, and she then realized, she was back at her home, and she couldn't wait another moment to yell.
"Mom, Dad, BBFF, Spike!"
As soon as all of them heard Twilight's voice come from her bedroom, they all immediately rushed to her, and Princess Celestia followed close not too far behind them, and the moment they saw Twilight, they were all in tears of happiness, and Twilight started tearing up herself too, and they all then gave her a big hug and Twilight then returned the favor.
"I'm so sorry for making you guys worry"
"It's okay Twily, it's okay, what matters most is that you are safe and sound"
Twilight Sparkle then saw Princess Celestia and she was ready to get scolded on by the Princess for not being careful with her studying of the spells, but to her surprise, Celestia at that point was only concerned about her wellbeing.
"I see that you have recovered some of your energy"
"I did, so.. are you not... mad at me?"
"Why would I be? It was my fault that I didn't notice that spell didn't have a description, if I had known it had been torn out from the book, I would have warned you about Chapter 3, I'm terribly sorry for that Twilight, will you please forgive me?"
Twilight couldn't believe that the literal ruler of Equestria and her mentor, and teacher, was asking her for forgiveness.
"Of course I forgive you Princess Celestia, you're my most Favorite teacher ever!"
Twilight Sparkle and Princess Celestia then hugged each other tightly, much to the smiles of the rest of her family, Celestia and Twilight then signalled to the rest of their family, that they wanted to further continue their discussion alone, which the whole family accepted, as they headed back down to the living room, Princess Celestia then began asking Twilight some questions about what hee experience was like in there down in the dungeon.
"So, Twilight, what was it like down there In that dungeon?"
"Oh gosh Princess Celestia, where do I start? It was probably the most horrifying and traumatic experience I've ever heard as a pony, and I've eaten Quesadilla's and seen Ladybugs"
"Okay, can you at least give me a few descriptions?"
"Well, it was very dark, there were a few Ocassional torches to help light the way, a lot of puzzles that I had to solve, a lot of ditches with traps, and of course, a Terrible Miasma creature that was horrifying and was chasing me around the entire dungeon, and I literally had to look everywhere behind my back to make sure that it didn't get me"
"I'm terribly sorry for that experience Twilight, it must have been awful"
"Oh it was, and it did make me quite a bit sad when I found some of those sad notes from Sunny Spiral, Crescent Aurora, Silver Eclipse and Dusty Tome"
Princess Celestia then had a look of shock on her face, then sadness, then started to tear up a bit.
"You... you found letters and notes from them?"
"Yeah, what's the matter, is something wrong?"
Princess Celestia then tried her best to hide her tears from her star Pupil.
"No, no, it's okay, it's just... all those ponies that you have mentioned to me... they all were at some point, star pupil's of my school, and.... ever since they went to this place, I never heard from them again, and that's why I vowed to myself that i would warn anypony, that came across of that particular spell, and make sure that they wouldn't suffer the same fate that these ponies have"
Twilight then felt really sorry and touched for the ruler of Equestria.
"Oh my goodness, i'm so sorry about that Princess Celestia"
"It's okay, at least we now know they were gone for sure right?"
"Yeah, I doubt even Dusty Tome managed to escape"
"Did you actually manage to defeat the Miasma?"
"I actually did, and, I have no idea how I managed to pull it off, cause I was so close to imminent death and vanishment, but yeah, that thing is no longer present in that place, however, I do have a theory"
Princess Celestia then was interested
"Yes, go on Twilight, I'm listening "
"So, let's say if somepony were to unearth and cast this spell again, would that again "recreate" the monster, and repeat this whole process?"
Princess Celestia then could give her best and honest reply to Twilight.
"Honestly Twilight, I have no idea about that, and judging by how things have gone for all these previous ponies and for you, it's probably best that we don't bother testing to find out those questions and find out if they are true or not"
Twilight then nodded and agreed with her mentor and teacher.
"Yeah, you're probably right about that, plus, I'm just glad that this experience and nightmare Is over for me, and i'm here safe and sound in my home, although, I have really enjoyed some of the other spells from your book that I have tested out, some of them really came in handy for when I was in there"
"Well, i'm glad you like it and that you did find some use for them"
Just then, Twilight's stomach began to growl and rumble.
"I haven't eaten all day, I'm starving'
Night Light then came into the room where Twilight and Celestia were in, and overheard what Twilight said.
"Well, I'm really glad you said that sweetie, cause we have actually made your favorite meal, and it's waiting for you just in the living room"
"Really? I'm coming right over!"
Night Light and Princess Celestia then shared a laugh as Twilight immediately got up from her ber and went for the living room, Night Light then invited Princess Celestia if she could join them for dinner too, which she kindly accepted, and then, the whole of Twilight's Family in the living room, along with Princess Celestia, enjoyed one another's company, having chats with each other with Twilight about some of her struggles in her adventure, and they all had a great evening spending time together.
The End
