Chapter 11: Mysterious Artifacts and Gala Tickets!?! Part 3 (Un-Edited)

Past

Nightshade took a deep breath as he slowly started to focus on his surrounding, eyes close as he started to feel the flow of magic all around him, as he could feel the crystal slowly absorb some of the magic around them, he let out a small smile on his face as he started to slowly absorb the magic around him as well, as he holds on to the crystal tightly between his hands, soon a grin slowly started to form on his lips, he soon snap his eyes opens, as they glow a light blue 'hope this works.........' was his only thoughts as he got ready.

Present

As he got ready, he took a deep breath and slowly started to squeeze the crystal, to which he started to absorb all the magic inside it, to which the crystal started to get absorb into him as well and before he knew it, he was lifted into the air, as he was slowly struggling to contain the extra enegy flowing into him, but as he did, he had another vision of Delsin, levitating some stuff, from books to rocks, to larger rocks and even a wall, but with both hands, he also notice some kind of field around him and it look like it would intensified the heavier the object he would carry.

Just as the vision came, the surge of energy that was going into his system, causing his magic reserves to expand a bit more for the extra energy, just as it came, it went and Nightshade fell to the floor, he was able to land on his feet, but the energy outburst left him dizzy, making him stumble a bit and before he could fall, Midnight was quickly by his side, catching him in time "are you alright?!?" she ask out a bit loudly in shock at what she just saw.

Nightshade let out a low groan in respond as his vision slowly got better, as he looks around blurry, but soon clearer,once his vision clear up, he straighted up and looks towards Midnight and gave her a grateful smile "thanks for catching me and I honestly don't know, but.........." as he gave the slight past, he lightly lifts up both his hands, as magic started to flow around his arms, to which he notice was now a light blue 'huh, my magic change from white to a light blue, odd' he thought to himself as he looks towards a blocked pathway that had a large piece of the wall from above crash down, blocking another way for them to explore.

He walks over to the destroy wall, as Midnight walks behind him a bit confuse as he stand in front of the destroy wall, he extended both his arms to the sides as he focus all his magic around himself, bringing his hands to his chest, he focus a lot of magic in the center of his body and soon spreads his arms to the sides, summoning the familiar field of magic, as he did this, he lifted his hands a bit up to which the rumble of the wall started to slowly go up as he lifted his hands up.

As he does this, Midnight was looking at him in shock, since this walls and rooms were made to be magic resistence, yet here was Nightshade lifting up the wall with ease, she also notice he was straining a bit, but either than that, he was lifting it up with ease as he slowly started to move away from the door as he slowly drags the wall away from the pathway, once the pathway was clear, he drop the wall a few feet's away, to which, breaks apart once it hits the ground, he looks over to Midnight with a grin "ready to explore" he said to which was responded by a giggling mare, as she nods her head, walking towards him and soon both walk into the hallway.

As they continue walking down the hallway the soon make it to a destroyed bedroom, to which confuse them both "huh, this is odd" said Midnight as she walks around the room, inspecting every part of the room, as she did this Nightshade looks around the room, it was a decent room with a queen size bed that would fit two or maybe three ponies on the bed, he was a bit more confuse as he looks around more as well 'this is odd......if am right and with what we saw up in the first room, this place was like a study, but it's also a bit like a place to sleep or....' his line of thought stop there as he notice something sticking from under the bed.

Nightshade walks over to the bed, crouching down lightly and looks under the bed, looking around till he notice a small chain attach to a door under the bed, he gave a slight grin, moving a bit back and standing back up, using his new powers, to which he dub for now Kinetic Pulse, to which he levetas the bed and moves it back as much as he could, to reveal the hidden door, as he does this, Midnight watch him with a bit of a wide eyed expression.

He lets the bed drop and walks over to the door, grabbing the chain and pulls upward, opening up the hidden door as he looks up to Midnight and gives her a adventurous grin "ready to explore a bit more?" he ask her as he got ready to jump down the hole, to which she couldn't help but giggle at him as she nods her head, soon following behind him as they both jump down the hidden door.

Down the Hidden Door

Nightshade landed a bit hard on the ground on his feet as he reaches the bottom, but didn't feel it, since his powers absorb the damage, then his ear gave a light twitch as he looks up to see Midnight coming down, fast at him, screaming.

He quickly extend his arms out and catches her in the bridal carrying position, he could see her shaking a bit from the fail, but slowly starts opening her eyes, as she didn't feel herself hitting the floor hard as she felt herself be grabbed in a gentle embrace, she looks up to the source and blushes hard as she see's that Nightshade caught her in time and was holding her in the bridal, carrying position.

She lets out a small 'eep' and teleports out of his grip and appears next to him, but a few feets away, a heavy blush on her face at being carried by him, his face, very close to hers, she felt his hot breath touch her skin, to which cause her to shiver a bit as he looks at her a bit worry "hey, you okay?" he ask her, a bit worry for her, as she reacted like that and saw her face was really red.

All he got from her was a nod as she turns around and starts walking into the cave that the hidden door lead them to "let's just continue forward" she said as she continues walking, without looking back at him, to which once more confuse him, but let it slide and follows after, going deeper into this hidden room 'wonder what we will find at the end...?' was Nightshade's only thought as he follows behind Midnight.
