Braeburn tried to open the doors but nothing happened. He began to worry about what was going on in there. He knew that Rarity must be in trouble and that the guard captain was no use, without his sword.

Braeburn look at shining and said, “Shining you have to save Rarity. I know she doesn’t frighten that easy. Something must be going on, please save her”

Shining looked at Braeburn as replied, “How? I have no weapon, and the doors are sealed tight.”

Braeburn noticed the sword and said, “Use the one you have, I know it’s the captain’s but this is an emergency. I heard Rarity say about a secret entrance to the graveyard. I don’t like the idea of messing with braves but it needs to be done.”

Shining gulped and said, “Okay, I will save them”

Shining rushed off to the Graveyard and he saw a grave alone in the center. As he pushed it a set of stairs appeared. Shining nervously went down them and found he was in a large room. He climbed up a dimly lit staircase and nearly fell over a chest. When he opened it up he saw a lamp in it.

Shining smiled as the lamp lit up showing an iron door at the end of the room and hundreds of clay pots. He thought the pots may hold something useful. So he began to smash them, finding rupbits, and not much else. As he opened the door, he saw he was in a damp room. As he moved through the area, he began seeing rats as large as house cats. He began to kill them as they go close, knowing that they could really hurt him. On a ledge he saw a key and guessed it was to open the door here. He climbed up some stairs and grabbed the key and headed for the locked door. 

After he opened it he saw the room was well lit but had an iron door and two levers. He pull the one on the left and the door opened, as he went up the stair behind it he was in the back room of the church, after he entered the main area he saw an earth stallion turn Rarity into a painting.

As the stallion began to leave he stepped in his way sword drawn and saw the captain was much like Rarity on he was on the wall, and she was in a frame. Shining knew he might suffer the captain’s fate but he stayed firm in his spot.

“Move you little squirt, you are such a waste of color and lines.” The man said as he got closer to him. 

Shining ran at him only to hit the wall as the man had turned into a painting. As shining lay there unconscious the man left, knocking him aside. Little did he know that he and this man would meet again.
