//------------------------------// // Dungeons and Dragons by ShinyMoon (Silly!) // Story: Tainted Love: A Twysalis Prompt Tag Collab // by Foals Errand //------------------------------// by ShinyMoon Two figures were sprinting through the dungeon, running for their lives. Hot on their tails was a dragon, a 20ft tall-firebreathing-spineshooting dragon. It was roaring, shooting fire every and anywhere. Spines were being lodged into columns as the dragon tried to hit its targets. Simply put, this dragon was furious. The taller of the two figures was holding a rock in their arms. It was shaped like a sphere, though it was not perfectly round like a sphere, the bumps and humps made sure of that. “Chrysalis I promise you this, if we die here I’ll revive you and kill you again!” “Just shut up and keep running!” Panting from having been running over a good five minutes now, Chrysalis and Twilight were beginning to tire. The dragon released another stream of fire, forcing the two women to hide behind a wall. “I can’t believe you! Are you honestly going to risk our lives for a stupid piece of rock?!” Twilight screeched in disbelief. “What’s so special about this rock anyways?” continued Twilight, having finally caught her breath. “Oh you’ll see when we get out of here,” answered Chrysalis. “Don’t you mean if we get out of here?” Twilight’s eyes narrowed as she gazed upon her dark lover. “Yeesh, and I thought I was the pessimist in this relationship,” muttered Chrysalis under her breath. “What was that?” “Nothing,” came the quick reply. “This better be worth it or so help me I’ll make you sleep in the cold and you know what happens to you when you get too cold.” Chrysalis gulped knowing all too well that Twilight wasn’t kidding. The thought of her joints seizing up was not pleasant in the slightest. “It appears the dragon has stopped, come, let us make haste.” With a groan, Twilight pushed herself off the wall and ran behind her over-eccentric girlfriend. Luck wasn’t on their side this time as the dragon let loose another torrent of searing hot flames. Chrysalis and Twilight had to hide behind a pair of columns this time. So this is how the game was played out: run, dragon breathes fire, hide behind a large construct. It was done this way until they reached the exit. Quickly darting towards the exit, they were narrowly missed by the fire. Before they could settle their selves, Twilight used her magic to levitate a large boulder in front of the dungeons entrance. Effectively blocking it. “Now,” she panted, “let’s see what’s so important about this rock.” Fatigue forgotten, Chrysalis’ eyes lit up like a little child on Christmas morning. Extending her claws and enchanting them with magic, she dug them into the rock and split in half. Inside of it was a shiny liquid. The liquid was pink in colour and gave off a delightful aroma. Curiously, Twilight stuck one of her fingers in it and popped it into her mouth. The liquid was sweet and sugary, it tasted almost like...jelly? “Is this jelly?” “Oh no, this isn’t just any jelly. It’s ancient royal jelly.” Chrysalis’ enthusiasm did not carry over to Twilight. “You almost got us burnt to a crisp...for jelly?” Twilight’s tone was low and dangerous. Her hands and eye twitching with irritation. “Um...yes?” Chrysalis said nervously. Twlight’s eyes were now glowing white, her hands sparking with purple electricity. All of this irate energy was directed at the changeling before her. “N-Now now, I know this seems bad but it was really worth it. Do you know how hard it is to find this jelly?” “CHRY-SA-LIS!!!!” bellowed Twilight, releasing every ounce of electricity she had summoned unto Chrysalis. “GAAAAHHHHH!!!!” Chrysalis’ scream startled all those who heard it. Even those in Ponyville.
