	"Well then Trixie welcome to purgatory." The colt said in a monotone voice.

"What? Trixies is dead!"

"Why else would you be here in my domain." 

"There has to be some sort of mistake Trixie has done nothing to be be deceased."

"Oh really?" The colts hood glowed briefly as a clip bored appered in front of his face. "Trixie the 
show mare lets see. Yes right here. Charges while in the land of the living are as follows."

"One causing distemperment in several towns in Equestria. Two causing near destruction of 
ponyville by a ursa minor. Three endangering entire population of ponyville by said ursa minor. 
And four being a well lets just say a witch to everypony you ever met. Yes Trixie it looks like 
you're supposed to be here." The colt said as the clip bored winked out of existences. 

"Trixie can't be...."

"They always act the same way every time they end up here."

Trixie was dumfounded. "How can this be? Cruse you Twilight Sprakle! Trixie will destory you 
and your friends! "

"Ah revenge thats the end for many ponys here." 

"You! Trixie commands you to end this foolishness and return her to her body!" 

"Sorry thats not going to happen." 

"Stop this act Trixie is not dead you just have her imprisoned! Release me from this spell!" 

"There is no spell. You are dead." 

'Trixie has had enough of this! Release me or you will suffer for your foolishness!' 

The colt had grown tired of this annoying mare unable to except her faith. "Your denail will end 
eventually enjoy your stay for you will be here forever." The colt having nolonger a need to 
inform the mare of her faith returned to his journey through the fog.

"Trixie has warned you now suffer the consequences of your incompliances!" The mares horn 
began to glow faithly at first the intensified to a massive glob of fire. "Now suffer!" Trixie let go 
of the ball of fire. 

The ball having nothing to hold it back rocketed towards the colt. He turned his head back just 
as he was impacted by the attack. KABOOM!! A dark mushroom cloud billowed up from the impact. 

"Trixie warned you now you have died for your foolish..." 

Trixie's statement was cut short as gaint black hand shot out of the fire. Trixie tried to move but 
the ghostly image that was now her body refused. The hands massive figures wraped around 
her body and began to crush her. 

"Trixie can't..." 

"Trixie won't move if she wishs her soul not to be through into the deepest hole in Tartarus!" 

Trixies eyes failed her. What was raising toward her filled entire soul with terror. What was 
raising toward her was only something from hell itself.

"You have made a great error in attacking me!" A voice rang out in her head. "Now do you know 
this is not a spell!" 

The creature was no longer a pony as before but something that only existed in nightmares. Its 
cloak now gone showed what its true from was. It had no flesh only bones beneath a swirlling 
black form that made up its body.

"Now do you wish to listen!" 

Trixie could only nod her voice failing her. 

"You are dead! There is no error! Only on your part is there error! You are dead because of your 
arrogance, inferior capacity to understand that no pony cares for you, and that your tricks only 
cause more trouble then your worth!"

"I do not know why that pegasi tried to save you from that Saber wolf almost being killed in the 
process! If it had only known who you were it would have not intervend!" 

"Trixie would."

"SLIENCE! You will not interrupt me! Its demonic voice crackled from its fanged jaws. Now listen 
and listen well you will walk forever in the fields of purgatory never to see the land of the living 
again! Whats left of you will rot away because wickedness holds your heart! May your suffering 
be your only company! Begone from me before I decide to punish you more harshly." 

With this final word the creature drew its arm back and hurled Trixie into the fog. 


~o~o~O~O~o~o~


A long time passed before Trixie began to think about what had just happened. 

"Trixie does not understand why this is happening to her. That thing does not know what Trixie 
has been 	through. Trixe is not in the wrong you vile creature! Trixie will just find her way out of 
this place and hopefully never see that beast again." 

"But a thought drifted into her head as she spoke. But what if its true? She shoke her head 
violently. No! No! No! Everything that creature said was a lie! Trixie is not the one who is at fault!"

With this thought burning in her head she began to look for a way to escape her prison. She 
wonder for a long time trying to find her way out not thinking of what the creature had said. 
But no matter how hard she tried the creatures words continued to resound in her head. 

"Your tricks cause more trouble then your worth. You are dead because of your arrogance. 
Wickedness holds you heart. You will never see the land of the living again." 

"Trixie must continue to look. Trixie will not let that thing win!"

But the words of the creature kept resounding no matter how hard she tried she really was going 
nowhere. Finaly near exhaustion she came upon a lone lake in the sea of fog. Trixies hope began 
to raise. 

"Maybe this will lead Trixie to the way out of here." 

She quickend her step trying to reach the lake. But as she neared it she began to slow. Her lake 
was not a lake only a depression filled with mist. 

"Everything that...that...thing said....was true. Trixies heart shattered. Trixie will never see her home 
again. Tears began to stream down her face. I will never get to thank that pegasi for saving me." 

Trixie put her hooves on her face to try to stop from crying. But she could not stop her tears as they 
poured out in waves. She slumped to the ground in front of the lake of the mist as tears continued 
to cascade from her tired eyes. 

"Why...do...I...have...to...suffer...so...much." Trixie choked through heavy sobs. 

"Because suffering gives way to renewal." 

"W-Whos there? Trixies head bolted up to the sound of this new voice. Are you that monster here to 
finish Trixie off?" 

"No im not. Im here to help you." 

Trixie quickly stood up eyes still hot with tears scaned the fog looking for the origin of the voice. 

"Where are you?" 

"Look towards where your tears have fallen my dear." 

Trixie was confused by this."Look where my tears have fallen?" 

"Down sweety." 

Trixie felt a tear fall off her face. She followed its path as it fell towards the mist. Her tear descend 
toward the mist. But instead of passing through the mist it came to a stop just above it and began 
to glow. Trixie steped back as more of her tears copied the first.
