Chapter 11

We last left our friend Raveon going into the Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters with the mysterious Pony of Shadows following right behind him. Now we join the Mane 6, Avery, Paige, and Tory as they are about to go into the Everfree Forest.

Twilight: "Alright everypony. Let's go."

Pinkie: "Uh Twilight? Look at Spike."

Spike: (getting sleepy) "We have to save Raveon!" (dozes off)

Rarity: "Aw poor Spikey Wikey. He's all tired out."

Twilight: "Of course he is Rarity. He's a baby dragon after all." (teleports Spike to his bed in the library)

Applejack: "Alright y'all. Let's check to see if he visited Zecora's place."

Rainbow Dash: "Good idea AJ!"

Twilight: "You guys don't have to come with us. We'll bring Raveon back safe and sound."

Tory: "No way!"

Paige: "It's our fault he was upset in the first place. We cause this mess we fix it."

Avery: "Yes. It's very hard to explain, but part of us feels like we know him from somewhere. And plus I really really like him."

Ponies: "YOU DO?!"

Avery: "Did I just say that out loud?"

Ponies: "YES YOU DID!"(laughing)

Avery: "Oh dear." (blushing) "Please don't tell him I like him."

Ponies: "We promise."

Tory: "I don't."

Paige: (smacks Tory upside the head) "Stupid!"

Tory: "OW!"

Twilight: "Alright guys. Let's start with Zecora."

While the ponies head over to Zecora's, Raveon heads into the first part of the abandon old castle. The throne room.

Raveon: "Wow amazing. This place may be old, but it's incredible."

Raveon looks around a little further and then he finds a library.

Raveon: "Oh my God! There are no words to describe how I feel right now!"

Raveon ran to the bookshelf and quickly pick up the book with his mouth then he spits it out.

Raveon: "YUCK! Dusty old piece of crap!" (blows on book) "A book about Different Worlds."

Raveon sits down on a rustic chair and begins to read he tries to open the book with his hooves but can't.

Raveon: (frustrated) "DAMN HOOVES!" (opens the book with his nose) I want my hands back…

As Raveon reads, he is unaware that great big yellow eyes are glaring at him. Back in the forest, the ponies arrived at Zecora's.

Pinkie: (banging on Zecora's door) "ZECORA! OPEN UP!"

Zecora: "Hello Hello the Mane 6 and more. Pinkie Pie you do not have to bang on my door."

Pinkie: "Oopsy."

Twilight: "Zecora we were wondering did a young unicorn run by here?"

Zecora: "Hmm. I do recall I did see. A young stallion who was very unhappy."

Applejack: "Landsakes! I hope the sugarcube is alright."

Zecora: "He ran by my hut fast as light. But do not worry Applejack. He is quite alright."

Ponies: "Whew!"

Zecora: "But do not be so calm because I know where. For he went to the old castle. This I swear."

Fluttershy: "The Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters?!"

Avery: "Are you sure?"

Zecora: "Mm-hmm."

Rainbow Dash: "Well come on! We got to save him!"

Zecora: I will tell you something that chilled me to the bone. The young brown stallion he did not go alone."

Paige: "What do you mean?"

Zecora: "The young traveler was definitely followed. By none other than the Pony of Shadows.

The Mane 6: (gasps)

Tory: "The Pony of what now?"

Applejack: "The Pony of Shadows! It does exists!"

Rainbow Dash: "Impossible! It's just an old mare's tale."

Avery: "What's the Pony of Shadows?"

Applejack: "When I was just a filly, Granny Smith told me a frightening tale. When Nightmare Moon got banished to the moon, not every last bit of her dark magic went with her. Granny done said that when night falls on the castle just like tonight, that magic takes the form of... the Pony of Shadows!"

Paige: (gulps) "Y-you mean l-like a g-ghost?"

Applejack: (shudders) "More like a phantom!"

Zecora: "Applejack's tale is true as bloom. If you do not get to the castle in time, Raveon is doom."

Twilight: "Thanks Zecora. Come on guys. We have to get to the castle or like Zecora says Raveon is doomed!"

Avery: "Hang in there Raveon. We're coming!"

The ponies are off to the Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters. Will they make it in time to save Raveon? Will Raveon ever notice that he's not alone in the castle? Find out in Chapter 12…if you dare.
