It had only been moments from when spike sent the letter when he belched up a reply, “It says; I’m on my way” Twilight breathed a sigh of relief, now that the princess was on her way they just had to wait in the library till then, however the creature had other ideas. Twilights ears perked up as she heard a hissing behind her,
“Spike, is that you?” she asked, turning to her assistant, but she stopped talking when she noticed a dark grey ooze slithering under the door. Twilight shivered and backed up into a bookshelf, they were trapped,
“Twilight, what’s that?” spike asked with a quivering tone,
“I’m not sure, I just saw its shadow earlier, I-“, Twilight was cut off by a voice coming from the ooze,
“Heh-heh-heh”, Twilight froze at the creatures grating voice, “you may try, but it’s over”, it chuckled as it started to reform itself into its bipedal state.
“THIS WAY SPIKE!” Twilight shouted crashing through the window with Spike running behind her, the creature faded into the fog behind them,
“You can run, but there is nowhere you can hide”; Twilight and Spike darted across streets and through alleys, but no matter where they went they could still hear its voice constantly mocking them.
They kept running, on and on for what seemed like hours they ran all over ponyville until Twilight couldn’t hear the creature’s voice anymore. “*pant* you think *huff* we lost it?” Spike asked gasping for breath,
“I don’t think so, it’s almost as if it wanted us here” Twilight looked to their right where ponyville elementary stood, looming over them. Twilight started to walk towards the school when she heard spike shouting to her,
“Twilight wait, if it wants us here then don’t go in”, Twilight replied, still walking,
“That may be true, but right now it’s our only way of stopping it”, She trotted up to the door and it opened with a loud creek, Spike looked around nervously before running in after Twilight, “I know I’m going to regret this.”
After walking in they took a second to look around “What a mess” Twilight remarked quietly as they walked through the abandoned building, and it was; Desks were tipped over, chairs were all over the place, and the walls and chalkboards were scratched up and tarnished like the place had been under heavy assault. Room after room and still the same appearance,
“Are you sure there’s something in here?” Spike asked nervously,
“No, but I intend on findin-WOAH” Twilight stopped her sentence when she fell through the floor.
“Twilight, you okay?” Spike called down,
“Yeah, I just fell into this underground passage” she looked around, this path seemed old, like before ponyville was built, “I’m going on ahead” Twilight Started walking down the tunnel,
“Wait for me” Spike shouted, but the floor closed up before he could follow.
Twilight kept on moving further through the tunnels, they seemed to never end, every turn she took lead to another. “How far down do these go? I've been walking for hours” Twilight was now breathing heavily, all she saw in these tunnels were walls of dirt with roots coming out of them. However she soon began to notice that the walls were made of stone bricks further down the tunnel and so, decided to follow that route, “I must be getting close, these tunnels look- wow” Twilight stood there shocked, for right in front of her was an enormous cavern filled with a thin black mist, at its center lied what looked to be a shrine, “this is it, I will stop that creature here.”
