Rising from Darkness

Three souls, one cell

It was cold, but then again it was always cold, what else could he expect? He was in a cell in the Equestrian Asylum, after all it wasn't supposed to be warm, or comfortable, although the padding did make it quite nice to lay down. But the constant noise from the cell next to him made it really hard to sleep.

“I know she will come, my queen will not abandon me, I her faithful servant, I who brought her back from the shreds she was left as. She will come and she will save me and together we will make that filly pay do you hear me Nyx YOU WILL PAY!" Over and over again the stallion in the next cell would repeat that same line day and night without fail.

It was Driving him crazy. “By the eternal, why wont somepony sedate him or do something, I cant take it anymore" Razor muttered to himself.

[no one is gonna do anything and just ignore him he's more mad than a rampaging manticore. (You might as well get used to it cause where gonna be a while ya fucking pansy ass) the voice of his demonic self, Doom Shade, said with in his mind. "Leave me alone Doom, can't you just sleep and let me wallow in my own misery?" he asked himself. Just then he heard the door to his wing open and voices were getting closer, two were voices he recognized, those of Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, while the other two were unknown to him.

"Now Nyx, I can understand your curiosity to know about what Spell Nexus has been up to and how he is doing, but I cannot for the life of me understand why you would want to visit him, and on your birthday no less" Princess Luna commented.

"I want to see him because even though he was trying to bring back Nightmare Moon, he did end up creating me.”

Even though it was an accident" one of the unknown voices, an adolescent pony replied.

So that annoying stallions name is Spell Nexus is it, he thought to himself. Wait, I remember hearing about him while I was still in control, so he's the idiot who is next to us. Damn, he has gone completely nuts."

Alright Nyx just don't get to close who knows he may still recognize you even though you have grown up quite a bit since he last saw you five years ago" the other voice a young mare this time.

"OK mom, I'll stay a safe distance away" the filly, Nyx answered.

Wait, he keeps going on about this Nyx, and now she is hear, oh this will not end well, I just know it. “Hey, don't you do anything stupid, remember they think we are just as crazy as he is ,maybe even
"Excuse me Princesses, you may not wish to bring that filly anywhere near that stallion, Spell Nexus was it? Anyway, for the past three months I have been in here he has done nothing but go on and on about how his queen will rescue him and together they will have their revenge on this Nyx, whom I presume is that filly with you that seems to go by the same name" he called out with out making a move towards the door.

"Listening in are we Razor? It would appear that old habits really do die hard" Princess Celestia shot back with Venom in her voice.

"I do apologise, but when you have spent three moths listening to a deranged stallion talk of revenge day and night and have no one to talk to, except your 'selves' you tend to relish any voices that you may hear" he replied with nothing but sincerity. Please Luna, we were once friends, it is not a good idea for you to bring that filly and closer."

Just then all the torches in the hall seemed to go out and all light was drained from the room even that which came from the barred windows could not penetrate the darkness, a menacing cackle resounded through the chamber and was followed by a voice resounding with nothing but pure evil.

"Spell Nexus will not be able to see any of you for quite some time seeing as he will be coming to meet me." then all the light poured back into the room, the two princesses galloped as fast as possible to the cell next to Razor's and cursed.

"He's gone, where in Equestria could he have gone? And who was that voice?” Celestia demanded angrily.

"I do not know but we will find out, do not worry sister" Luna said as she tried to sooth her sister's anger.

"can I be of any help my dear Princesses" Razor asked hopefully.

"NO" Celestia said forcefully “you will stay in your cell until the end of your days, which apparently will never come."

"Celestia you know as much as I do that I am the only Pony hear that can even hope to find that stallion and who ever it is that helped him escape" he said with assurance.

"Sister he does have a point, he was the greatest of our blade's before I was banished. He is the only surviving pony with the Phoenix vision ability" Luna commented.

"Yes, yes I guess you are right, OK so be it ,but you will be accompanied by two of our most accomplished Royal Guards, one of my Day Guards and one of Luna's Night Guards." Celestia replied.

"That is fine with me Princess I am just glad to be getting out into the world again". Razor exclaimed happily as Celestia opened his cell door.
