Unfamiliar Grounds

After I flew as hard as I could, my wings started to tire out. "I must keep going." I murmured as I began to slow. Two guards began to come closer coming ext to me and grabbing my front legs. They pulled me back where the other two guards walked near them. Celestia nodded to the guards and mouthed "high-security" The guards flew me into the castle and down a set of stairs. The walls had splotches of blood scattered about and a pony skeleton in one corner. I was put into a double-barred cell and the door was triple locked. "Cursed pegasus wings. Why couldn't I be a unicorn?" I wondered, because in such a case it might help. I paced for a while, trying to figure out how to get out. I noticed a small cell window, the bars were rusty as well. "Nevermind. I like being a pegasus." I muttered as I grinned wickedly. I flew up ramming my shoulder against it a few times. Boy, was I glad those guards had gone. My shoulder was oozing a small amount of blood by the time I had created a large enough hole to squeeze through.

I flew out of the hole and I was headed to somewhere far from Canterlot. Eventually after an hour or so, I found a mountain with a dark cave in it. "Perfect." I murmured. I flew inside the cave, and I watched the sun, it was barely rising. Celestia was standing outside, angrily plotting against me. I sat down and looked at the rising sun. It was very pretty but it's image was ruined as a large pony, flew in front of her view. It was an alicorn. "Oh no. I knew I couldn't hide long, but seriously?" She said. She turned and fled into the dark shadows of the cave. It split into three sections in the back. She chose one and there was a stone stairway leading down.

Meanwhile, Celestia thought over the prophecy once more."It did say there was a way to stop her but the Elements are useless against her." She murmured. "In fact, she might ally with them." Celestia said,hardly able to bear the thought of the Elements of Harmony allying with such a being capable of chaos and destruction. "Not only that, but she will meet a friend along the way, one capable of the same things." She said. Eventually, she alighted at the cave. She lit her horn and went through the dark cave. She noticed hoofprints going towards a tunnel. So she took them. Now, Starflight was a clever pony, so she erased her steps, and created false ones to throw Celestia off, then she went to go explore the stairs.

I climbed up the stairs, making sure not to trip over the uneven stones. I finally reached the top and there was a wooden door with a metal loop meant for knocking. I knocked on the door. To my surprise, a creamy white unicorn stallion with a flame colored mane opened the door. "Hello? Who are you?" He asked in a kind but cautious tone. "I'm Starflight, I'm trying to hide from your crazy Princess." I said, trying to make my approach friendly. "Oh really?" He said, as he chuckled at my awkward attempts at being friendly. "I'm Inferno, nice to meet you, Starflight." He said. "But, I'm seriously, I am hiding from that bananas alicorn you call a Princess." I said. "Oh, you are?" He said. "Come in, I can hide you there." He said, urgently rushing me in. I heard some loud hoofsteps as somepony entered the cave. He led me down another flight of stairs into a room with another door. He ushered me in and came inside as well. Using his magic to take a key from a shelf, he locked the door shut behind him.
