Chapter 10

With her grip lost, Twilight started flying down with the unrealistic gravitational force of an anvil. Title waves of clouds crashed around her as they fluidly flowed. Her last memories passed through her mind, the train kept on rolling. Her dear memories, adventures, times of laughter all sank and drowned in her sub-conscious. A tear formed from her eye as it was pushed off her cheek from the brutal and unforgiving winds. The clouds began to clear as she saw the charred black ground holding her fate.

"I tried…" she whispered, finally giving in. She knew it was bad with Fluttershy's encounter, but this time was much worse. All traces of hope and courage slipped away as she rushed through the masked fog. Each Individual foot, every second by mere second passed by with the winds as she fell towards her graveyard. The grave graciously greeted itself with its sugar coated knife and false persuasive approaches. Twilight almost fell for this sweet treat, but wanted to keep her mind clear before she died.

The end was near, mere moments left before Twilight's life was locked away and chucked under mounds of dirt. She could already taste the sweet sensation of life given to her, what she had lacked before. Her last moments were the liveliest and happy yet, her torture was soon to end. She closed her eyes peacefully, and then it went blank. Not a sound was heard… not a single one. Silence brewed across the charred grounds, skipping slightly over the ashes and pain.

There twilight remained… swimming solely through her personal tub of blood. The short frizzy hairs on her mane slowly rested themselves, Twilight was at peace. No more sounds of pain, no more cries of agony, not a single sound of arguing, torture, mental disturbance. Everything was gone, only the echoes of the beating wings from the southern birds that flew low to the ground.

"Get this purple prick awake… we need her alive!"

"I'm not doing anything for you ya lousy bitch"

"Get a move on, we don't have all day. Ya ears full of cotton or something?"

"…."

"I found a bucket of water… will this do?"

"Give me that! *splashes water from the bucket onto her face*"

"Wake up! Wake up! WAKE UP!" The sheer volume of her voice knocked the mare awake! She looked around in desperation and despair, confusion and sorrow. She thought she was gone for; all her misery was over…

"Where am I? What's going on?" Screamed twilight in a panic. The blue screwball smacked Twilight in the face as soon as she looked over.

"And THAT is for tripping over me ya clumsy loose footed jackass!" Screamed Lyra right in front of twilight. She was still in dismembering shock from what just happened, but quickly snapped back to her senses.

"Hey screwball, it's not my fault you can't watch where you walk!" Twilight screamed before muffling herself in self-pity. Lyra Growled before cooling herself a little and explaining to Twilight.

"Look ya selfish prick, I only helped you so you would get off my basket of apples. You fell on me and bruised MY basket, keep out of my way and no harm will come to you understand? " Said Luna with an oddly patient sound in her voice. Twilight walked slowly away from the blue mare in an unpleasant and confused matter. She watched herself die from impact, yet she is still alive here in discord's land. She pulled out her quill and paper to take some notes while sitting near a black spotted oak tree with pink leaves.

"The Experience: Notes

This might sound weird to you, but I'm not sure where I am or if I'm still insane. Whether that case to be, I've got notes to write and I'll see to it that I keep myself going. This is day 3 if I'm not mistaken (although I haven't taken the recordings for days, funny right?). I remember knocking my head on the ground after tripping over screwball not too far from where I stand. Applejack's home was on a gigantic piece of floating matter, which seemed to be appropriate considering she was missing for quite some time now. She has to have information on where I am and what discord is planning. I don't know how much longer I can keep up this act of courage, but as long as I can think straight I should be just fine. I'll just have to watch over you twilight, simple as that. Good thing I'm such a good and responsible person that I can watch over my friend(s). Yah you said it twilight HAHAHAHA… oh right thinking straight. Forget I ever said that, I'm perfectly fine. In the meantime I'll need to check applejack's place to make sure it's still the same as it was before. 7256… yah that seems about right. Well I'm off to find Applejack

Yours truly,

-Twilight.

She put away the quill and paper the same as every other time, but stuck them in the opposite pockets as she normally would. Her hooves started to move quickly across the ground as she ran past Lyra, making sure not to run into her this time. She ran as fast as she could, contempt with the feeling of dejavu. Her frantic hoof flailing ceased at the shock of what she saw.

"Now applejacks home is… GONE?" She stood star-struck at this terrible sight. Not a single spec of the farm or its land was left, only an incomplete road leading there. She gazed in shock at this sight, looking down from where she was before. Her eyes widened even more when she noticed not a single piece of fog was down there. It was only a black nothingness with a carved out layer of rock. It was a perfect cut out with absolutely no etch lines across the sides of the carved land. She fell on her behind in shock and slowly scooted away from the edge.

"Oh dear Celestia it's worse than I thought!" She whispered to herself, still rocketing bullets of sweat from her nervous forehead. Some of it decisively dripped down, while the rest launched far away from where twilight stood like a diversely centerpiece fountain. She shook the beads of sweat off her head and stood back up from her seated position.

"If Applejack isn't here… then where could she be?" Twilight tried to focus on the matter, but she became somewhat dazed and distracted. Her attention shifted to an explosion of diverse colors displaying broadly across the thick layers of fog. The light beams seared through the clouds, bringing an unthinkably large smile to her face.

"COLORS! Oh thank the stars above for this, OH COLORS!" She screamed in happiness from seeing the display of brightly portrayed light bands. After 30 short seconds, the color bands ran off, leaving twilight sad and alone.

"Where did those colors come from?" She whispered to herself.

"Oh nowhere, just the most PREDICTABLE SPOT IMAGINABLE!"

"Who said that? Who's there?"

"I'm over here twat! Right here!"

"I can't see you! Show yourself"

"I am you, moron!" She screamed, running in circles around her standing point looking for the mare she heard. Her attention snapped back again and looked at where the bits of light still remained, completely forgetting about whom she talked to.

"Those colors, I must know where they came from!" She said, almost sounding sane. She bulleted towards the bright bands of luminary pleasure as fast as her hooves could take her. She slightly wobbled in both directions heading towards the light, but she didn't seem to mind. Her trip ended as she gazed at the beauty witnessed.

"Oh… My… Word…" She held her hoof up to her mouth and stared at it with glossy eyes. She scaled up the walls with her focus observing every last detail of this shining building. It had vines running up the angles with the looks of an ancient architecture suited for the heavens above. It glistened with polished silver, layered with slight buffs and scratches next to the vines. It contained layers of polish upon polish to pure beauty. It was all held behind an iron-barred gate reading "Sweet Silver Acres". Even the roads were gold plated, containing in the center ruby stuttered laminated bricks.

"It's… Beautiful!"

"And it's one of the things I have to offer here."

"Oh great, you again."

"Who?"

"You… that weird person I was talking to back near applejack's place."

"That's funny… I don't recall ya along these parts."

"You sure about that?" Twilight then whipped around to notice the person she was looking for was standing right next to her. It was applejack! She was wearing an expensive-looking suit with white stitching made of pure leather. It was studded with perfectly rounded stones made out of the finest materials in Ponyville.

"Ok… now I know I lost my mind." Said twilight staring oddly at Applejack.

"Sorry to be a bothersome, but apparently you're the loony one her missy." Applejack said as she properly placed her hoofs on the collar of her suit.

"That can't be right.. I'm perfectly sane…" Twilight said as she slightly twitched.

"Oh trust me; it's worse than you think." Applejack them grabbed a mirror from her back pocket and reflected it right in front of Twilight. She screamed at what she looked like now, gasping for air after the shock.

"My goodness I'm a wreck!" Twilight shouted holding her hoof to her chest in shock.

"Don't worry now; I'll fix ya right up." Applejack then whistled where 2 husky looking ponies carried a personal carriage for the 2 of them. Twilight stepped inside slowly while Applejack barged through. The 2 entered the white carriage, heading to their personal dream home inside. The carriage was made of a fine silk with drapes hanging elegantly over the open doors.

"Now let's get back to my place where we can chat a little longer."

"Sounds good to me Applejack! So what did you have in mind?"

"Don't worry, I've got quite the conversation in mind."
