"She grows weaker by the ssssssecond." The shadow told himself. "When her soul is mine, I will be able to help a friend I betrayed so long ago. I need to do this because...
I promised her...
Cadence ran and ran as fast as she could toward the crystal cave's entrance. She didn't even hear her fiance, friends and family calling her, begging her to slow down and explain what happened to Twilight. Images flashed in her mind of the moments in the cave when Twilight had pushed her out of the way of those falling crystals so that she could be the hero to stop Queen Chrysalis, but she would rather have been defeated than have Twilight's life in danger. She didn't even notice that she was flying now. Part of her talent was the ability to fly really, really fast, so fast that even Rainbow Dash had trouble keeping up. But today, she was too distracted to focus on her power. Rainbow caught up to her easily. She tackled Cadence to the ground. That snapped Cadence out of her trance. She yelled at Rainbow Dash, " Let me go! Get off of me! There is no time!" She screamed. She could feel the spell that she put on Twilight disappearing. In a few minutes, the spell would fade and Twilight would bleed to death.
"We won't let you go until you tell us what the hay happened to Twilight!" Rainbow Dash screamed back. She was obviously worried about her. So were the rest of her family and friends. She could feel their worry, they were scared about what happened to her. After taking some calming breaths, she got up and looked at them. She spoke in a rushed voice. She didn't have a moment to lose.
" Ok, I'll tell you what happened. But, I should warn you, its not pretty."
After Shining heard what happened to Twilight, his panic and worry grew. He could tell that Twilight's friends also felt the urge to go find her. After Cadence was done, everyone there needed a moment for that to set in. Shining was about to ask Cadence to take them to the caves when he felt something he had never felt before. For a moment he felt Twilight done in the caves. He could hear her thoughts. he knew exacted where she was in the cave systemHe could also feel her pain, he could also feel an enchantment that was keeping her alive fading. Before this ended, Shining could feel her breathing and heartbeat. Both of them were shallow and slowing down. Shining stumbled, eyes wide in what he just experienced. Everyone looked at him in surprise.
"Darling, are you alright?" Rarity asked in concern. Cadence also looked at him, both worried and curious.
"I'm fine." Shining gasped. He was in shock. For a moment there, he told himself.I was...connected to her in a way.
He looked up at Cadence and said "I'm fine. Lets go save Twilight!" Cadence looked at him suspiciously than nodded. She pointed in the direction of the cave's entrance. Shining regained his hoofing and followed them, but his thoughts elsewhere.
That-that was crazy! He told himself. I-i never been able to do that before even when me and Twilight were foals! We were and still are pretty close, but we never connected mentally like that. Shining was frustrated. He decided that he would look into it later. Right now, he had to focus on saving his sister.
While all of this was going on, no one noticed the six-pointed star of Shining Armor's flank glow faintly.
... A bit short.

It's okay mate understand and oh my, this would be interesting for Sombra for the most part as what will he do with Twilight's soul that his best friend would need it. Oh the anxiety builds up, the fact this is a AU makes backgrounds unpredictable, even if we go by comics or show, we don't know if the author changed it up for Sombra's best friend to have passed away or go to a coma after finding out the truth that she still loves him. Unless something deeper has to play in this.
I know this story focus towards Chrysalis and changelings as antagonist, but technically they caused this to happen as expecting Chrysalis to twist those emotions later. I can picture Twilight's body to be use for reincarnation sequence if we go biological means. The evil bug is such a dastardly creature, I mean she made evil clones as a last resort based on the genetics and trees.....damn dark magic is quite the beasts with that logic.
Now for Shining Armor, he is portraying the sense when a close family who deeply connected dies, they can tell something is very wrong. Magic can be seen amplifying that moment, so damn that sucks for the stallion. Now I wonder how the mane six would handle without their leader as the time passes.....We shall see on the next chapter after our author has some barrings with life. Oh yeah good luck.

Thanks. And that was some deep thinking. I’m glad that you are liking this story.
Well, you just touched on a subject I've always been interested in. Shining Armor's brand is pretty much the same as Twilight's, except for the shield. Now, I have some theories as to why Shining Armor connected with the soul of Twilight.
What is that promise that Shadow has made? To whom was it made and what role will Twilight play? A lot of questions that gather in my mind. You know how to leave wanting more.

Thanks I read a lot of books that they taught me sentence structure, paragraph structure, cliffhangers and how to get your reader thinking.
i just realized now and I'm sorry about all of the spelling and grammar issues in this chapter.
