The Tapestry

Sunset screamed and hit a hard stone floor. She felt around, not able to see anything.


"Fluttershy!" Sunset screamed.


"Over hear!" Fluttershy yelled hoarsely. Sunset crawled over to Fluttershy. "I hurt my leg. I can't move it."


Fluttershy started to sob. Sunset gingerly helped Fluttershy stand.


"Sorry," Sunset said disappointed, "Your too heavy for me to carry. You don't happen to have anything that will help us see down here?"


Fluttershy sat down and rummaged through her bag. She pulled out a cracked lantern.


"It broke a little when I fell," she said, almost whispering.


Sunset lit the oil in the lantern. She swung the lantern around the room. On the walls were many symbols. One wall had a tapestry with Nightmare Moon sewn in dark blues and black. She must have been an alicorn in Equestria, the world beyond because she had a helmet with a unicorn horn and armour with pegasus wings. She was floating above the school with her legs out on each side and fists on her hips. Below her was Principal Celestia running away from the falling debris of the school.


"I don't like the looks of this," said Fluttershy.


Sunset started tracing the patterns on the walls. Fluttershy pulled a notebook out of her bag and wrote down all the symbols and drew a picture of the tapestry. When she was done, she put the notebook back in her bag and latched it shut. Sunset touched one of the stones and it was jutted out more than the others. She carefully pulled out the stone and threw it on the floor. She pulled out bricks as fast as she could. With each stone, the walls became weaker and weaker. After Sunset pulled out one of the last stones of the wall, the structure began to shook and dust and dirt fell from the ceiling. Sunset ran through the hole in the wall, but turned around and grabbed the tapestry. She threw it through the hole and then turned to Fluttershy. She picked her up and threw her onto the tapestry. Fluttershy raised her head and yelled for Sunset as the walls came crashing down.
