The cave

Chapter one
Discoveries

Author notes: alright since Halloween is coming I thought I'd start a horror story so here is the first chapter. It's going to be short because I'm going to need some OCs. Don't worry Legion and Equestria Falls are still going to be completed. Enjoy.

Dusty Hooves walked along a beach littered with broken parts of old ships, the sun shined brightly making the day hot even as he wore a hat he still had to squint slightly. The tide was low and he could spot a rusting cannon sticking out of the sand. As he walked further he noticed more unique and rare items from the wreckage and with the more unique items came ponies who were trying to dig them out.

"Mr. Hooves! Over here!" A pony called out gesturing for him to come over.

"Yes? What is it?" He asked walking over.

The pony who had called out held up a rotting wooden box," Found this."

Dusty knocked his hat back slightly so his horn could be showing and levitated it over to him to examine," Sorry, but there is nothing in here but some rotten bread." He said opening the box.

The pony looked down sadly," Damn I thought it was going to be like jewels or something."

" hey, don't get so sad. Look I saw an old cannon in the sand back there. Why don't you get some unicorns to help you and go dig it up?" Dusty said laying the box down and smiling at the pony.

"A cannon? Sweet!" the pony said and ran off to a group of unicorns hauling some boxes up the side of cliff to a ominous looking hole in the side of it.

"Mr. Hooves?" A voice crackled from the walkie talkie on a belt he wore around a black coat that looked like a trench coat cut short.

"Yes?" He answered levitating the walkie talkie in front of him.

"We've broken through the wall." the voice replied bringing a smile to Dusty's face.

"Wonderful I'll be right there." Dusty walked towards the trail leading up to the cave. Before Dusty had came to this island the only other pony before him was a explorer who had found this while searching for the sunken ship ' Cannon Fury' which had been reported missing with its hold of ancient artifacts and gold. Mysteriously the explorer had stumbled upon the island and was able to radio back the coordinates for it to his family who acted as his "mission control". Soon after the radio transmission he never contacted them again.

That was a week ago and now the explorer's family hired Dusty to go to the island with a large team and find the explorer. Of course as soon as Dusty landed on the beach seeing all the wreckage he had to bring some of it back. But then they came across the cave in the cliff they found the explorers saddle bags and what looked like drag marks on the ground leading to the wall with the symbols that he had deciphered as warnings.

Dusty closed his eyes as his horn began to glow and he disappeared and reappear just outside of the cave. There were several ponies moving stone and dirt away from a hole just big enough for a buffalo to fit through. As Dusty stared at the hole in the wall he could feel the cold and stale air rushing out.

"Mr. Hooves?" A Pegasus with a dusty grey coat and purple mane asked walking up to him," Your team almost ready."

" Are you sure you want to come Violet Storm?" Dusty asked walking over to the wall and rubbed a hoof against a faded symbol.

"Yes." Violet answered.

"Alright then, make sure everypony has enough supplies for three days. Celestia knows how deep this cave is or even what's in there."

" just out curiosity Mr. Hooves, why would you want to venture down there when those warnings say stay out?"

" Let me answer that question with a question miss Storm." Dusty said turning away from the wall," what is down there in the cave?"

" How should I know? No pony has ever been down there." Violet answered.

"Exactly, nopony can resist the urge to know the unknown."

Violet Storm thought about what Dusty had just said and then nodded slowly," I guess that's makes sense." She said and then walked away to gather her supplies.

Dusty took one last look at the pitcher black darkness that resided inside the cave they were about to venture into. He shook his head as a shiver ran up his spine and then walked away to ready himself for the cave.

Author notes: alright next chap should hopefully be out soon, it all depends on if I get enough OCs to make up the team. I'm thinking a team of three not counting Violet Storm and Dusty Hooves. Also I got the idea from fable three so I'm just going to use it a foundation to build my ideas on and I think there is a movie called "the cave"
