Undead Hell Hole

As my Pegasus partner and I galloped through the dark and dim corridors of the dungeon hearing the moans and clopping shuffles behind us as we are hunted by the demons that reside in the darkness and for some of them were still imprisoned in their dungeon cells reaching out at us as we passed by, as we searched and try to remember our way out. As we continued to look, my partner finally decided to speak since the beginning of the assignment.

“We must not die down here; we must alert Princess Celestia of what has occurred! If not all of Equestria shall fall, it’s our job as Royal Guards to ensure the safety of our land!” He said.

I tried to keep calm and replied “We shall not allow our kingdom to fall!”

For how dark it was we didn’t see that we arrived to a path that goes two ways so we stopped because we had not anticipated which way to go earlier, with the monsters hot on our tracks hearing the moans closer.
I spoke “Do you remember from where we both came in?”

He replied “It’s obvious it’s …..”

A half witted corpse tackled my partner against of the floor sending his gold helmet flying and his sword to slide off into the darkness and proceeded to maul him.
“GET OFF OF ME!” He yelled.

I immediately rushed to his side knocking off the soulless corpse using my magic from my horn and decapitating it with my sword.

“Do you find yourself in a well state?” I asked.

“No not really it bit a few good chunks from me.” He replied.

From a few feet away we heard moans and shuffles; I looked up to see that the monsters with red glowing eyes have gotten closer from the time spent during the confrontation. My partner starred at me with eyes of pain and suffering and pointed to the right side of the path way.

“GO! I’LL FIGHT THEM OFF!” He said.

I looked at him “NO! YOU’RE NOT ALLOWED TO MAKE THAT DECISION!”

I began trying to drag him to the right side of the path as they drew closer.

“LET GO OF ME YOU STUBBORN MULE!” He yelled back.

“YOU HAVE YOUR WIFE TO GO BACK TO AFTER THIS.” He continued.

“NO! I WON’T LET THOSE FORSAKEN BRUTES EAT YOU ALIVE! YOU HAVE YOUR OWN FAMILY TO WORRY ABOUT, HOW CAN YOU SAY SUCH A DASTARDLY THING?” I insisted “I WILL NOT BE THE ONE TO BREAK NEWS TO ANYONE!” I yelled.

The first closest lunged at us, my partner stood up on his hind legs with all his might and his Pegasus wings rose out knocking me back defending me from the incoming attacker as he began fighting the monster hoof to hoof as more arrived.

“It was an honor to fight by your side.” He looked back and said.

“No, it was an honor for me to fight along yours!” I said as several of the cold blooded cannibal corpses piled over him, I began to gallop at full speed till I ran around the corner.

As I continued to gallop the worst noises of my entire existence pierced through the silence, the blood curdling screams of pain of my partner who I had left behind, a single tear ran down my cheek. I looked back to see that there were still some following me now at a faster pace now that they smelt blood, tasted fresh and now they wanted more.

I continued to gallop down another corridor and realized that there seemed to more lit lanterns and saw that the skeletons liked demons stayed away from the lighter part of the dungeon.

“Don’t worry, my friend” I said “Your death shall not be in vain!” I continued until I reached the stairs that I believed was the same way we entered the dungeons as I began trot up the stairs I realized the lit lanterns were going out one by one…

In sheer memory of my partner gave me to strength to run up the stairs, and shut the door behind me. The night was clear for the moon shined brightly amongst the ruins of the castle I quickly began looking for something to barricade the door amongst the ruins. I began to hear single hoof step for each step that it took.

“That’s not right, one would not travel alone!”

It grew closer and louder each step, I prepared myself and pulled out my sword, the noise finally decided to suddenly stop. The door slowly creaked open and saw one red hoof step out into the moonlight.

I gasped and dropped my sword from shock “That’s not possible, how did you survive?”

I began to trot over but suddenly my partner walked completely into the moon light and horror fell upon my face as his normal white coat was now stained red with blood, there were bites straight to the bone all over his body, his guts seemed to be dangling out from the bottom for his stomach has been ripped entirely opened, and finally he had Blood Shot Eyes.

“NO!” I yelled.

As I tried to pick up the sword but before I could my now undead partner gave out a screech and lunged towards me. I started trying to wrestle him off of me and stopping him from biting me at the same time still trying to reach for my sword with my magic, I realized that the door was still opened when I began to hear the moaning and shrieks again I looked up at the beauty of the moon Luna gives us in the night sky

“I’ve failed...”

–Off in the midnight view bloody screams are heard
