The Equestrian Inferno

I have seen the effect of Sombra's door on the minds of ponies. Those who enter find themselves in the situation they fear most, but even these fears are already present within their subconscious. Nopony can fear that which they are ignorant of. If that had been the case, those who entered the door would find themselves where I stood now. This was a place of isolation, a place hidden forever from the joy and laughter of Equestria.

We stood upon a frozen wasteland. It was hatred itself. The ice was frozen as hard as rock, and in no way slippery. Galaxy began walking and I followed. The deep milky blue ice prevented me from seeing far, but F'Wuffy's legs seemed to extend just as far below ground as they were above. His massive limbs rose upward like the pillars of some great temple of hatred.

We stopped when we reached the edge of a frozen lake. Its ice, unlike that of the ground, was clear and I could see down into the darkness. It glowed with a beautiful yet sinister shade of sapphire blue.

"This is Lake North" whispered Galaxy. I didn't know why she spoke so softly.

Galaxy stepped upon the ice and a look of discomfort settled across her face which she quickly wiped off. I followed. The cold ice seemed to suck all joy through the soles of my feet.

When we had walked some distance, I saw stones encased in the ice. As we got closer, I saw that they were statues.

We passed the first of these statues and I saw that it was vibrating. "What's going on?" I asked Galaxy, "an earthquake?"

"No" replied Galaxy confused, "why would you ask that?"

I pointed out the quivering statue to Galaxy. "That's not a statue" explained Galaxy, "that's a soul with all traces of the elements of harmony removed from him. He's shivering because he's cold. They stay immobile, transfixed by visions of what they did."

The shades of grey of the ponies contrasted sharply with the brilliant florescent colors of Rainbow Dash's mane, whose image I held within my mind to prevent it from paralyzing with fear.

I began shivering as well. "What did they do?" I asked, somewhat afraid of the answer. "This zone is named Lunaea after Princess Luna, who betrayed her sister Celestia by becoming Nightmare Moon. She herself is not here because it was not her fault, but anypony else that betrays their family without remorse comes here."

Galaxy and I kept walking. In the darkness, I tripped over somepony's head. As I stood up, I turned to apologize before I realized the pony looked familiar. "What's your name?" I asked it. The pony didn't answer. Getting angry, I asked again, also to no avail. Immediately, I seized the pony by its mane and shouted, "Soarin, I know that's you. I know you're down here and you deserve it. How dare you act all high and mighty, ignoring Rainbow Dash at the Grand Galloping Galla?"

"That's Snowflake" said a soft voice behind me, "He's here because he joined a gang and murdered his parents."

"YEAH!" shouted the pony excitedly.

I turned to look to see who was it that had made me aware of my mistake when a blinding rainbow light filled the air. When it had settled, I looked back but saw only an outline of a small filly in the ice, which was partly melted. "What happened?" I asked.

"That was Scootaloo" answered Galaxy, "When she replied to you to keep you from harassing Snowflake, she created the element of kindness within herself. Therefore, she cannot exist here and has been teleported to purgatory."

Galaxy turned and began walking further down into the lake and as always, I followed while my eyes adjusted once more to the darkness.

"We're in Mildea now" said Galaxy suddenly, "This is the region for those who betrayed their country. It's named after Mulia Mild, the ninja assassin who killed the king of the mules for profit, then fled to Equestria."

I looked around for an indication as to how Galaxy could tell but found none. In the process however, my eyes caught sight of a pony nearby gnawing the skull of a nearby pony with the relish of Pinkie Pie eating MMMM.
