In a far off land known as Equestria, there's a small town known as Ponyville. This town is home to Equestria’s greatest heroes . These heroes have saved Equestria time and time again. Among these heroes is an energetic mare known as Pinkie Pie. She’s often seen as the most energetic of the heroes, as well as the most random; but, she is not as happy and cheerful as she has led many to believe, for she bears a dark secret within her heart.
10 years ago…
“ Are you sure about this Pinkie? Because the description of what you're looking for sounds a lot like the ancient amulet of legend that was hidden away in the Everfree forest long ago.”
The pink mare nodded to her guide before responding.
“ Of course i'm sure, silly! Or at least i'm pretty sure?” she thought for a moment longer before facehoofing and responding, “ Oh great, now i'm confused.”
There was a long pause before the pink mare said, “Soooo, can you take me, please, please, PLEASE!?”
“Fine, i'll take you, but you have to promise me you won't tell anypony, OK!?”
“Okie dokie artichokie!” ,the mare said cheerfully before zipping off into the forest while yelling out behind her, “Come on, let's go slow poke,
we've got no time to lose!” Before she zipped out of sight.
“Hey, wait for me! Some of us don't have super pony speed and energy you know!” The guide yelled out before racing after the pink mare. Several hours later, as Celestia was starting to lower the sun, and Luna was raising the the moon, the duo had arrived at thier destination. Laying before the two was a stone temple that seemed to be falling apart. The temple itself was well over 80 feet tall and gave off the vibe of, ‘all who enter shall perish!’
“This is as far as i can take you i'm afraid.” The guide came to a stop at the entrance and said to the pink mare, “The amulet of which you seek is said to lie in the heart of this temple.” with that, the guide turned around and raced back down the path the two had followed to get to the
temple.
“Well I guess I better hurry so i can get back to town before midnight.” Said the pink mare as she raced into the temple. As the mare raced down the many corridors, she never realized the many traps that went off behind her. After several near encounters with death that the mare never realized, she finally arrived in a large chamber.
The room was lit by a ray of moonlight coming from a small hole in the roof. Within the middle of the room was a tall staircase leading up to a small thin pole with a thin branch. As the mare ran up the stairs and arrived at the top, she saw that, hanging from the branch,was small necklace made of gold thread, with a blood red ruby hanging from it. The mare's eyes grew wide as she walked closer. The necklace seemed to speak to
her with a voice That was strangely similar to her own.
“Come closer you foolish little pony, come closer, so I may finally have a host.” The mare’s body would no longer listen to her brain as it walked closer.
“Stop. I said STOP! Listen body! I command you to LISTEN!” her brain screamed, but it was to no avail as her body finally arrived in front of the necklace.
“Now, you foolish mare, put on the necklace and release me from my prison!” The mare's body obeyed the command completely, ignoring the mares brain screaming at it to stop.
Time slowed as the mare grabbed the necklace and slid it around her neck. All seemed to go silent in the world as if to say:
“ SOMETHING BIG IS COMING!” before it hit the mare like a hurricane as a blazing heat threw the mares mind from her body. The mare opened her eyes to see an image that she knew would haunt her for the rest of her days. She watched in pure horror as her own body stood up before her, or at least some-pony that looked like her. The mare had a pink flank and a pink mane AS WELL as her cutie mark! The only obvious differences were that the new mare had a long straight mane that was darker than the other pink mares, as well as a slightly darker flank. The mare looked up and smiled.
“Well, I give you the greatest of thank yous for freeing me from that horrid prison around your neck.” The pink mare watched the new mare as a thought came into her head.
“So this is your prison?” The mare said holding up the necklace. The other pink mare was about to respond, when the original mare yelled out, “ Well then let me return you to where you belong!” the mare tore off the necklace as the other mares eyes went wide. She then threw the necklace
directly at the new mare. The mare yelled out in fury as the necklace began to suck her back in.
“I'll make you pay! I shall haunt you for the rest of your days! You shall NEVER be safe!” With those last words, she was sucked completely into the
necklace. The pink mare collapsed in sobs of true terror as she whispered.
“What have I done? Oh Pinkie what have you released?” as she fell into a fitful sleep.
Present Day...
Pinkies eyes flew open as she rolled out of bed. She rubbed the sleep out of her eyes as she got ready for the day. Once ready for the day, pinkie grabbed a necklace with a crimson ruby on the front off the table as she walked out of her house. A few moments later, a voice in her head greeted her with it's usual tone that practically screamed, ‘I am insane!’
" Its about time you awoke!" the voice yelled in Pinkie's head.
"Oh, shut up pinkamena!" Pinkie yelled back in her head as she closed the door behind her and started to walk towards the large castle in the distance.
