As Wind Rider and Fire Bolt headed down the corridor, A strange sense of comfort swept over Wind Rider. The large hallway would allow him to have plenty of time to escape should a gatherer appear. His mind then wandered to the gatherers. What were they before they transformed. How did they transform. He decided to ask Fire bolt if she knew.

“Hey Fire Bolt, do you know how the gatherers became the gatherers?”, he asked.

“I haven't a clue”, she responded. Wind Rider shrugged. He had a feeling that they would find out soon enough. They both rounded a corner, and entered another passageway lit up with torches. Wind Rider turned off the lantern to conserve oil.

“What's this”, he heard Fire Bolt ask. He turned around and saw her looking at a note on the ground. Wind Rider looked over and saw that it was from someone's journal. It read;

I've lost count of how many days I've been stuck in this Celestia forsaken castle. Horrible monstrosities roam the halls, searching for anything that moves. I have become quite comfortable with a small bedroom at the end off the hall. The creatures haven't reached there yet, but I still barricaded it as a precaution. Time is not on my side.

If anyone finds this, you may want to know that I saw a cyan blue pegasus wandering around this castle. She may be of assistance to you, for she had a bag full of food and supplies. Whoever may read this, I wish you luck.

“Someone else is here? That's odd.”, said Fire Bolt. Wind Rider wasn't paying attention though. He was to busy trying to figure out how they were going to find Rainbow Dash. “We should keep moving”, he said.

Wind Rider folded the not and put it in one of his vest's pouches before they continued down the hall. Halfway through the hall, Wind Rider noticed some barrels next to the wall. He walked up to them, stood there quietly for a second before yelling “BARRELS!!!”, and knocking them over.

“What? Everyone knows you can't trust barrels”, he said. He only earned a more confused look from Fire Bolt. He shook his head.

“Never mind, let's keep going. The sooner we find Dash, the sooner we can leave.

Fire bolt nodded in agreement and they continued down the hall. They passed a few more barrels. Wind Rider was about to attack them when Fire Bolt yelled, “Don't even think about it!”.

Wind Rider just quickly walked away from the barrels so as to avoid Fire Bolt's anger. Celestia knows what she would do. They continued until they reached a bedroom, presumably the one Red Flare was hiding in, only to find that no one was there. On a desk, however, there was an extra lantern full of oil. Two sanity potions and a bottle of laudanum also lay in the cabinet in the desk. The drawers contained five tinderboxes. After searching the room for anything else of use, Fire bolt picked up the other lantern and they headed into another section labeled, 'Study.'

After about twenty minutes of wandering the study, They both figured out that they needed to find a switch of sorts. To make the time pass, Wind Rider began to sing a song quietly to himself:

I used to rule the world

Chunks would load when I gave the word

Now every night I go stow away

Hide from the mobs I used to slay

They once were terrified

Every time I looked into their eyes

Villagers would cheer my way

For a hero I was, that's what they'd say

One minute we had it all

Next our world began to fall

Away from all that it had once become

They all cried for my help, but I stood there numb

I gaze off into the boundless skyline

Noteblock choirs playing in the sunshine

Turn 'round pick up

my sword and wield

The blade that once forced evil mobs to yield

And hope one day

that this chaos and

Destruction turns for the better.

Never a bow in hand

And that was when I ruled the land

It was the creepers and Skeletons

Blew down the doors and boxed us in

Arrows whizzing by like streaks of light

I tried all that I could to stay and fight

As the undead roamed the street

Families broken at my feet

Life itself suspended by a thread

Oh, why is it that I wasn't dead

I gaze off into the boundless skyline

Noteblock choirs playing in the sunshine

Turn 'round pick up my sword and wield

The blade that once forced evil mobs to yield

If this battle should leave me slain

I know that Herobrine calls my name

Better to take a stand

And that was when I ruled the land

I gaze off into the boundless skyline

Noteblock choirs playing in the sunshine

Turn 'round pick up my sword and wield

The blade that once forced evil mobs to yield

If this battle should leave me slain

I know that Herobrine calls my name

Better to take a stand

And that was when I ruled the land

Fire Bolt looked over at Wind Rider when she heard him singing. She enjoyed the tune. “Where did you learn that song?”, she asked.

“My father taught me it when I was little. Before he left my mother” he answered. Fire Bolt nodded and continued to search.

A few minutes later, Fire Bolt heard a groan. Taking a look down the hall, she saw someone, or something, walking slowly their way. Fear hit her hard, and she ran back into the study, slamming the door shut.

“What was that all about?” Wind Rider asked. The door being smashed down was his answer. He quickly grabbed a hold of Fire Bolt before pulling her into a closet and closing the doors. He had just enough time to jump into the other closet and close it's doors before the Gatherer entered the room.
