Of all places they take Fluttershy, it was here. I have claustrophobia and arachnophobia which from the looks of it both were becoming a major factor inside this hole especially since it was covered with moss and cobwebs . “ The things I do for love, ” I said then started to descend into the darkness. Troy was second to follow, then Eva and lastly Jake who didn’t mind the spiders, he was just really afraid of the dark. I noticed that Eva and Troy's eyes glowed in the dark causing a blue and pink light, just enough for Jake to make the way down. When I kept my eyes closed in fear of seeing some tarantulas or something of that nature. When I finally opened my eyes there was glowing green flames all around the room, no one seemed to be there but I heard a faint cry coming from another room. “ Hold on Fluttershy! I'm coming for you, “ I thought as we stepped off the rope ladder. I noticed a few things that were odd. one was that everything seemed familiar, I almost felt as if I created the place, I knew almost every aspect of it. I could tell that the place seemed more than five hundred years old. Me and my small group pushed through an iron door. I walked by some pretty peculiar statues, they seemed to glow with some sort of aura that held me strong. I even swore they told me directions at one point. Jake was right next to me, he was just glad we were out of the dark and into a nice seemingly safe room. I followed the path of the statues to a big theater room and on the stage was a big stone arc with symbols that glowed a variety of colors. I hoped it was just for decoration, the cries kept getting louder making me even more nervous. I bolted down the hall to the source of the noise coming face to face with my worst nightmare. “ So you have finally arrived, well it was about time, we have been waiting forever, “ Chrysalis said pulling me forward with the her magic. “ Where is she? Where is Fluttershy? “ I yelled, I clenched my fist and tried to move but was being held back by magic. “ Awe the boy wants his little pony, Bring her out, ” she yelled threw her teeth. Two angry men walked out dragging chains that linked to Fluttershy’s arms and legs. Her eyes were swollen from crying. She lifted her head up and gazed into my eyes. They were filled with fear. Me on the other hand was filled with anger. In my past I was an angry kid, breaking school windows and other thing I'm not proud of. I learned to control my anger, no one could get me mad even if I was being picked on for being a brony. I would just smile, but now when I couldn’t hold it in much longer eight years of anger and pain flowed into my body and began to shut me down and everything went black. I awoke chained up next to the Arc portal thing. My eyes were sore and blood shot, I looked around the room, there was no one around except the two guys that had brought Fluttershy out. A woman dressed in a black dress walked out, her appearance was breath taking, her aura stunk of anger and lust that of evil. Her eyes burned at me even though she had a content look on her face, I knew she wanted to rip my head off. It didn’t take me long to realise who she was, in fact it was quite obvious. she crouched next to me and whispered in my ear. “ You do what I say and I let them go, all of them, your family and your precious little pony, er human, whatever, deal?” She said with a content look still, her eyes looked as if she was going to bite a chunk out of my neck. I looked at her with confusion. she had kidnapped my family as well, it hit me, how long have they been missing, the changelings acting as my parents and brothers. All of this seemed way too personal to be about Fluttershy. They wanted me, for what purpose did they need me for? It didn’t matter, if it meant everyone to be free and safe I would do it. I looked up at her. “ You're going to let everyone go if I help you and I mean every one? My mom, my step-dad everyone? ” I asked. “ Of course darling, everyone may leave here untouched, I promise, “ she said with a smile, her fangs showed through. I understood taking human form was harder than it looked. I nodded. “ Fine, it’s a deal ” I said with a stern look on my face. She stood back up and used her magic to unlock the chains on my hands. I rubbed my wrist, they had the shackles to tight. “ Do you know about your history with this place? ” Chrysalis asked raising an eyebrow. I gave her a quizzical look. “ I have no idea what you're even talking about lady, ” I said, she rolled her eyes and handed me a very old book the, scent and feeling was familiar. “ Do you know what that book is? ” She asked. “ It’s the Codex of the Nexus, the grand spells only readable by the Guardians. The creators of the elements and the defenders of the Universes, ” the words just fell out and I had no idea how I knew, but I realized one thing, this book should not be in her grasp. It’s was just too dangerous, I don’t know how, but I just knew. I looked up at her, her glowing green eyes stared down at me. She smiled. “ Now we may continue with the plan, ” she said. Her succubus like gaze pulled me into a trance. I was now no longer in control of my body. “ Go, to, sleep,” she said. Then her eyes glowed and I Slowly started to shut down. then everything went black once again. I felt my mind sink into darkness. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “ Boy, hey, you boy! Wake up now please, ” a gruff man’s voice said, it almost reminded me of my grandfather’s voice. I opened my eyes and looked at my surroundings. At first there was nothing but black, but slowly the background and everything started to form. I was in some weird room with a fireplace. I looked around to see a man with a long beard and cloak, he almost reminded me of Dumbledore from Harry Potter. Though he had a jolly twist to him, almost like a buff Santa. “ Where the hell am I? ” I asked the man, he started to laugh. “ You're up here boy, in your cranium, ” he said tapping his head with his finger. I got up off the floor and he gestured to a seat near the fireplace across from his own seat. “ Okay then, who the hell are you? ” I said sitting down in the chair in front of the fireplace, He smiled. “ I’m you, and you’re me. We’re distant biological relations; I’m sort of how you say your great great great great... very great grandfather, ” The man said said to me with his very jolly smile. “ It would be impossible for you to even be alive right now, ” I said trying to disprove the man, but from all thats happened in my life I can't really argue. There still was that major possibility. “ You’re unsure? Heh thats just like me, always being a bit indecisive about what's real or what’s not. Your perception on life is that saying something is not real is just words, and that in the vast universe and space and beyond it, you say that it would be very very lonely for us to be the only existence ever. Deep in your heart though, you know that there is something bigger than our universe and it’s impossible that it would be so empty. You know here and here, ” the man spoke his philosophical words. They were that of my own. I could have sworn I told jake the same thing a few years back. The man pointed at his head then at his heart, my hand moved on it’s own and I touched my head and my heart at the same moment he had started doing so himself. “ I still need to understand how is it that I’m your direct descendant but my dad nor grandfather never brought any of this up, wouldn’t it be passed down through generations?” I asked, the man nodded softly. “ You're a Guardian of the Nexus, ” he replied. “ Um, what’s the Nexus?” I asked confused, I had never even heard of the nexus other than in League of legends. “ The Nexus is a vast dimension that links all the other universes. The Guardians of the Nexus are a group of beings sworn to protect the gates of the universes so there are no interdimensional war. We are the creators of the Elements of Harmony, the items that helped against the war between the major universes and have been sent to one universe the Guardians could trust. The group of beings chosen are through the Code of Genetics, the strand has to be exactly like it’s descendant making the new being almost an exact replica of the founders, ” a voice said from the fireplace. It was what seemed to be a living fire, the color would change to blue whenever it spoke and it sounded like that of a woman. “ Thank you Jewels, ” the man said. “ You’re welcome Alex, ” Jewels replied. I shook my head and looked at the man. “ She just called you Alex, so that means that I’m your exact copy, name and everything?” I asked this just barely clicking for me. “ Not everything. We have different likes, different parents, and lived different lives. Though I watched you grow up and know more than anyone else. You're a vegetarian because for some reason meat always made your stomach upset. Back in my day there was no choice, it was eat or be eaten, ” the older me said. I was about to ask more questions when he raised his hand up for me to stop. “ You don’t have much time, you need to break yourself from Chrysalis. Her grasp on you grows more and more as we talk. “ He said, he then pushed a button on his chair and I, started to glow green and felt as if my body was being pulled downward into the chair. “ You need to believe in the Spark, may it give you courage, ” He said as everything started to fade white. “ The spark of what? ” I yelled as the room disappeared and green light swirled around my body making it hard for me to hear. “ The spark of love and friendship, ” he replied as his voice grew faint to nothing but a whisper.
