//------------------------------// // chapter 9:not so sweet dreams (WARNING:not yet filtered through editor) // Story: Dark Souls:the descent into friendship // by star dust pony //------------------------------// As I felt myself falling into a sleep I began falling into a new dream, now I could confirm it...I was not in a dream filled with ponies I was in reality and I was awake, but now I temporarily left it and my new eyes in a different world. I gazed into the flame before me as I sat near its kindled flame, I felt no heat but in a way the fire gave me warmth and new found strength and as I rose I knew that I was no longer safe which made stepping towards the lift even more horrifying since this place has been the bane of my existence. "...Don't back down...Don't give ground...Don't let yourself fall." I repeated in my head as the lift brought me up. I stared up at my crystal foes as they turned their monstrous heads towards me, One fired a arrow right at me which thankfully was slow enough for me to get out of the way...But I know im going to take a hit...Because I charged directly at it, I know it was reckless but I don't care for a I sliced my blade through the first crystal hallow it fell with a screech of pain and I almost did the same when a sharp arrow pierced my armor. I believe the others creatures were shocked when I rammed into their room with one of their friends and didn't stop until I impaled the grave lord's sword through the caster...wait...when DID I get this? I can't dwell on this though, I was surrounded by archers with only a shield to protect myself. "Grip tight, move fast, strike first." I mumbled the steps to myself quickly, Block the arrows, swerve through the others and with one quick slash the first archer was down. "Psstt...down heeeerrreeeee." A light whisper of what sounded like a ghost rung through my ears as I took cover and looked down to see a glowing white sign and as I slowly touched it. "Good, I was getting bored." A white phantom with the oddest armor i'v seen rose from the ground...what was that? what was he wearing?...well...uuhhh...he looked like an onion...nope stop scrolling down to the comments to make the shrek jo- nooooo stop ty- oh damn it i wanted to go through with this bit without a shrek joke about onions. "Its been a while since i'v seen a summon sign." I felt a chuckle escape me. "Yea well its about time i'v seen some action, This sword and shield are not just for show." The onion knight and im just going to keep calling him that because he is a motherfucking onion, no shut up I don't care what his real name is ANYWAY the onion knight charged in for me, the arrows hitting him but not breaking his stance as he went up the left stairs and I went up the right and we tore through the crystal horde. "HA HA I MISSED HAVING JOLLY CO-OPERATION!!!" The things I said in my dreams were simply odd to say the least but that didn't matter as I...took out my talisman? what use would I have for that?...my own question was answered by myself...as a deathly swarm of swords leaped up from the ground and impaled every creature around me. "My my that was one amazing spell." It was labeled as a miracle...it felt more like a hex. The phantom fallowed me as we made our way through the library, slicing through multiple crystal monstrosities. "Hey...Hey wake up." wha-? My eyes slowly lifted themselves as I saw the face of one of the ponies outside...their was a crowd around me...this wont end well will it?
