Twilight screamed in pain as the vines stretched her limbs as far as they could reach. The pain was unreal as muscles and tendons tore, and Bones shattered. Ripping and snapping sounds echoed in the cold blank place. Just when Twilight thought the pain couldn't get worse, sharp crystals jotted though the vines and tore through the already damaged flesh. Twilight thought she couldn't scream louder than she already had been, It got worse. The pain coursed through her whole body as she felt herself being torn and cut apart. Twilight's vision blurred she could feel death's cruel hooves grip on to her, this is how she was going to die, being torn apart and cut to pieces by crystal covered vines. Just as she was ready to induce deaths hooves a sharp light drove through the darkness, A tall stallion cloaked in a cape and hood of darkness stepped out and shot at the vines, freeing Twilight. The figure used his magic to pick Twilight up from the ground and proceeded to heal her, the muscles and tendons weved back together the bones unsnapped and mended, and her skin healed, soon Twilight looked as good as new. However she was as sore as she was with the damage so pain still coursed through her body. The hooded figure held out his hoof for Twilight to take, she gladly accepted it.
A warm aura of magic lifted her up and she slowly descended towards reality, she had however felt this before. The hooded figure was the one trying to save her, and he had succeeded in his task Twilight was going back into the real world. The figure chuckled to himself he had really saved her from a sudden death. With a swish of his cloak her disappeared as Twilight came back into reality.

Fear and panic flooded the room as the five mares and baby dragen watched Twilight's body being torn, broke and ripped apart. Blood was splattered on the floor as the ripping continued, they had tried everything to stop it but there was nothing. The baby dragon was petrified with fear as the scene unfolded around him. Everypony in the room was crying and trying to avoid the gory scene in front of them. Some, there eyes and bodies would not move they included Rainbow Dash, Spike, and AppleJack. The others held on to each other crying in a heap the ones included were Rarity, FlutterShy, and Pinkie Pie. Then a flash of light caught the attention of the ones who could not look away, the blood dried up, the muscles and tendons wove back together as well as the bones mended, the skin healed as well. Twilight looked as she had before she had hours ago. Then the newly healed figure moved her back leg then her front, she was trying to get up. Twilight's friends surrounded her with tears and hugs. Twilight joined along with them as pain coursed though her form.
Twilight's friends asked her question and questions but all Twilight could say was
" I am so sorry but do you think I could have some rest I still hurt?"
Her friends shared their sorrow by giving her one last hug before they left out of the castle .

Twilight then heard a voice, not from her friends but inside her head.
" Your pain is bothering you is it not? "
Twilight did not know how to respond and the voice spoke once more,
"I created a telepathic link between up when I healed you,you can hear what I'm thinking and vise versa. Do you wish for a spell that will take the pain away?"
Twilight thought about so many things, who is he,how does he know me,why did he help me,what spell?
" All will be revealed in time, but for now I need you to trust me. Can you do that Princess?"
" I trust you." Twilight said in her head
" Excellent now just relax and try not to interfere this spell requires my utmost attention."
A * Gulp * was heard from Twilight as the spell took form, a black aura surrounded her, lifting her in the air. It felt like she was getting a massage from the Spa twins all over her form. Her muscles relaxed and everyone of her nerves were filled with relief, she felt better than she had in months.
" Thank you that helped a lot. What spell did you use?, it was different than the first one."
" The first spell I used was a healing spell, this one was a Analgesia spell."
" That's brilliant only the most talented Unicorns can use that spell. But an Analgesia spell normally stings, when you used it it felt relieving how?"
" I combined two spells, the Analgesia spell and a Muscle Relaxants spell." he said cooly
" That is even more impressive, you must have used powerful magic."
" I will tell you how dear Princess in due time how I managed to heal you, good day."
" Wait don't go! "
" Dear Princess whenever you wish to speak with me just call upon me and we shall speak."
" But how do I call upo-"
"How about a code,Shadowlight when ever you say that I will return and when I say that we shall speak face to face,is that alright Princess
" Please just call me Twilight." she said blushing at the term 'Princess.
" Of course Twilight, I shall take my leave, Farewell."
" Goodbye."
Twilight was more curious now than ever, he had just left so she wouldn't call him now. As well as him if he called her it was face to face not just in her head, what is she was with her friends, what if he was a kidnapper. No no no that was going over board. Twilight got up and headed out the door where she would talk to her friends and hopefully get her mind off this mysterious stranger.

What Twilight did not know is that the voice in her head was not just any old Unicorn, no he was something very different, but he had her right were she wanted. He had her everlasting trust.
