Chapter 5: The Second Orb
He woke up, naturally this time, he checked his watch to see it was 10:00am. He walked outside the abandoned house and stretched his wings.
*Maybe the librarian might know something...* he thought
He went back to the library and went to the desk.
"Hello? Could you tell me what this means?" Flare Chaser asked, handing the note to the librarian.
"Hmm... well, it could be referring to town hall and the fountain in front of it..." she said.
"Great! So where is the town hall?" he asked excited.
"It's you just go straight down the street and make a right, you can't miss it." she said.
"Great, thanks!" he said, rushing out the door. He used the directions he was given and finds town hall. He sees the fountain and looks inside it.
*The orb I have must be "The brother".* he thought, getting out the orb. He dropped the orb into the fountain and the water stopped flowing. Then the water began to evaporate as the orb began to glow, ponies around him began to stare at the fountain. Then the fountain caved in and a stair case was revealed. Ponies around him began to whisper to each other. Flare Chaser picked up the orb and placed it in his bag. He stared at the stair case, then began to go down.
He found himself inside a cave, it was damp and cold. He saw two paths, one went right, one went left. He went right, he found himself in a large room, there was a sword in the middle of it. It was a short blade, he could probably wield it and not hurt himself from heavy weight. He picked up the sword and then the cave behind him collapsed, he found himself looking forward to see a shadow-like pony figure. It began to charge at Flare Chaser. He charged back at the shadowy pony, parrying with swords. The shadow went for a stab but it was hit away with Flare Chaser's sword. Flare Chaser then sliced at the thing and cut it, but it didn't do much. The thing laughed and swung it's own sword at him. He dodged and stabbed the shadows side, this time, it was deep. He pulled the sword out, but it was still standing, it didn't bleed. The shadow charged once again at him.
*Wait... a trial of courage...* he thought.
He charged back at the thing and when they collided, the shadow disappeared. He put the sword he obtained into his bag. He saw there was a new opening in the wall. He headed through it to a room, in the middle was a pedestal with the second orb on it. The orb was a pure black, he picked it up and then there was a flash of light. He was by the fountain in Ponyville again, the fountain was in tack again and no pony seemed to be surprised or anything. In his hooves, he still had the black orb. He placed it in his bag and headed to the abandoned house.
