[A/N Yay I managed to get this out before a few months have passed! (Don't expect that to always happen!) Enjoy!]
It's Flash Fire again. So after all of that crazyness I explained earlier I managed to forage around and found some food and some loose wood that I could use to fix up my cave a little. Made it MUCH more homy. That and I spotted something in the forest. Here is what happened...
As I walked through the forest I spotted some strange ruined castle. I seemed to be almost... Drawn, to it somehow. Like I was almost meant to find it somehow. As I approached it I felt like I ...belonged here...Amongst the spires. As I moved deeper and deeper into the ruins the broken ceiling overhead made light come through sporadicly in sections. Casting shadows in some areas and simple blacking out other sections. As I moved deeper into the castle I couldn't help but admire the mighty ancient tapestries that somehow withstood the march of time. The ancient wall has ivy that clung to them and many grassy plants grew in-between the flagstones. As I walked through the passageways I found a magestic atrium with pillars that streched high to the ceiling. But as I stood there I suddenly noticed a picture off to the side of the room that had a mighty dragon with ponies by his side defeating what looked to be a horde of mutant ponies with holes in their legs and arms. The picture seemed somehow familiar to me. But how could that be? I had never seen this before in my life... And it was then that I noticed something in the picture. the dragon was wearing something familiar... I muttered aloud, "Is that... My nec-" All of a sudden my musing was intterupted by some voices from nearby so I quckly ducked into the nearest bit of shrubbery to make sure I wasn't seen. As the voices drew closer I began to hear what the voices were saying, "... Don't see why we hadda' come out here fer... Ain't nuthin' out here but the forest critters n' some bats!" The first voice said with a accent I couldn't place. The second replied, "I Don't know about that ... I'm SURE I felt some sort of magic imprint here somewhere. And I'm CERTAIN it has something to do with nightmare moon!" I couldn't help but feel a bit nervous at how the second voice spoke but I stayed put. There was no way they could find me right?...Right? "It's coming from over here!' The voice call out from right nearby my position. 'Crapcrapcrap!' I screamed in my head as I noticed the forms were getting closer and closer to where I was hiding. I was panicking inside as I held a debate inside my head. Basically it had three sides to it.
1-RUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUN-
2-Maybe that shield on the wall above me is magic and they are sensing that! Yeah your fiiiiine...
3- PANIC YOUR ASS OFF THEY ARE LOOKING FOR YOU!
And of course I panicked and ran at once. Yeap. I multi-task like that. Immediately as I started running the second voice yelled, "Over there! The pressure is coming from that pony's direction! Follow him!" And as I ran through the passageways trying to escape from the two shapes following me something random yet completely expected in ruins happened. The floor gave out. Typical. But as I fell and fell with my eyes closed just WAITING for the impact to happen and...Wait a second... I haven't felt an impact yet. And why do I not feel like I'm not falling anymore? as I opened my eyes I saw that I was surrounded by some sort of purple bubble of some kind. As I looked around in confusion a rope came out of no-where and hooked around me. the first voice spoke saying, "Got im'!" The second voice then irritably replied, "Well pull him up here then!" As I was being pulled up towards the two forms I noticed something coming up behind them. I yelled, "Look out! There's something behind you!" but of course they ignored me (They probably figured I was trying to distract them...) and the figure stood up behind them. And as I watched with terrified eyes the figure shoved them into the hole with me. And down we went...
