A Grim Place

The Outsider

Previous Chapter

When Twilight got a look of the city she was amazed by the buildings and the boats. The buildings were not as colorful as the buildings back home.  As Twilight hesitated to go out of the ally way by the chance that she would get spotted. She than galloped out of the dim ally way into the light of day. And yet it was day out the place stilled look gloomy. As she was walking on the cracked sidewalk. As she was walking 2 things were walking towards her position. Not knowing if they knew that she was there she jumped into a dumpster. As she quietly listened onto their conversation.

"Do you think that Skolovo elixirs will stop the plague?" asked a man with a deep voice probably to the other man.

"Possibly but the bugger problem is being eaten by those rats alive" responded the man next to him. This was the rest of Twilight heard from the conversation as still being drowsy from staying up all night she fell asleep in the dumpster.

When Twilight awoke she finds herself not where she slept not at all. She gets up and looks up and down. Knowing that before there were no floating islands. She got up and walked out watching herself making sure that she didn't fall off the edge. It was like a dream. As she got a good look of her surroundings there were floating islands and weird lanterns. Also the sky changed colors too. As she nearly was scared to death by a floating creature right in front of her face.

"Hello Twilight," said the floating creature. "I see you have come to Dunwall at the middle of the plague"

"Who are you and what are you and how do you know my name?!" said Twilight still worried by being trapped here but trying to stay strong.

"I am the Outsider and a series of events will fold over as you spend your time here." Outsider said with weird fully black eyes. "Now Twilight bear my mark if the Outsider and gain powers that will replace your magic." as than the Outside pulled in magic out of the void and released it on Twilight. Twilight felt a burning sensation on the bottom of her left front leg. She looked down on it and saw a weird marking she has never seen before it was a circle with some weird lines on the outside. Twilight looked at with confusion and awe.

"But, I need my magic!"

"Have you already forgot that your magic doesn't work here"

"Yes wait how did you know that?" Twilight even more confused than before wondering how this creature named the Outsider could know this much stuff about her already.

"Twilight here is a heart it will help find my supernatural items around Dunwall" as Twilight was than given a random heart from the supernatural beaning. "Use you new power to travel short distances in a matter of not even a second" As Twilight got out the heart and saw it beat harder when she faced it near some kind of rune thing sort of far away from where she was standing. As Twilight got out her left front leg she pulled in and looked at the place she wanted to travel as she released she went there. Twilight was surprised that this worked she was in awe. But, still this could be a dream and didn't want to get disappointed when she awoke from this place.As she than ran across in tell she reached another edge and used her new power again doing the same thing last time. As she reached the object it was a bone with the same markings of the one on her leg.

"Now Twilight these are my runes use them and keep them to get more supernatural abilities to help you in the events that take forth"

As Twilight fainted and slept, when she awoke she was not in the floating islands place but in the dumpster again. She than looked back at he leg the mark it was still there. She wasn't 100 percent sure what happened last night but whatever has happened it was real as real as possible. Twilight thought to herself for a while for leaving the safety of the dumpster.

I should probably find a better place to sleep later tonight as she jumped over the metal edge of the dumpster and got out. She than got a weird idea of how to you use her new powers. It was like someone was telling her. As she pulled up her left front leg and pulled in and saw a blue orb of floating light as she released she traveled in the place she was looking. Twilight was now in awe of her new power. It still worked it wasn't a dream as she walked down the streets making sure there were no creatures around and stop at a house looking it over. The windows were lock shut and the door were shut by some red contraption. As she looked up the house she saw a balcony she could get through as she used her new found skill and blinked up it as she went inside she was than greeted by two dead creatures. One looked starved to death with his hands cut off and the other one looked like it was eating the others hand but then died of some unknown reason. Looking pat the dead bodies she looked around the room and found a mattress.

She than walked downstairs into what looked like a rundown kitchen as she looked through the cabinets she was stopped by a silver object behind a couch in the next room. Twilight than rushed over to the object and grabbed it was a sword with a holster. Twilight thought about it than thought it would  possibly be a good idea just to carry it around with her just in case if she even found herself in trouble.
