  I was staring at the spot of where the portal was when I began being chased by the Manticore when I first got here. The Everfree forest seemed a little more... marshy? Than before. Probably taking on some attributes of the jungle from my now impossible to get to home.

  "It's gone? How? Why?" I said, I'm actually wondering why I'm not freaking out or crying or something. I'm sure that if something like this happened to someone else, they would be scared out of their minds. I think it might be because I'm not quite reacting to the situation yet.

  "Are you sure there was actually a portal? That you actually lived in the Everfree forest for you're whole life?" Twilight asked.

  "Then I would have evolved in a way that fits my needs to survive in this forest. Which now seems to be a bit more like the jungle from my home." I said.

  "Really? Then maybe you're world was obliterated and some of it's characteristics spread into Equestria, although very unlikely." She said.

  "Not really helping the situation." I said, noticing something familiar. Something that I was very happy to see. "SLIME!" I yelled, taking out by bow, and killing it with 3 arrows. "Maybe you're right, considering I have not seen any slimes here yet. Until now. This slime. Almost the symbol of terraria. Almost. Considering the actual symbol is a green slime, or a tree."

  "That WAS a green slime." She said.

  "No. It wasn't. The one I just killed is a jungle slime. Take a look at the one hopping our way, do you see it's name in you're mind when you look at it?" I said, looking at it, and instantly the words 'Jungle Slime' popped up in my mind.

  "No. Are you crazy? Nothing happened." Twilight said.

  "Then maybe it's because you're mind doesn't give a crap about what it's called, just the fact that it's right next to you and about to kill you." I casually said, killing it.

  "Wait what?" She said, now looking back to the slime, only to have gel splatter onto her face because of it's death.

  "I should tell you, they burst when they die, and they are highly corrosive when alive. Basically living acid. Although when it dies it explodes into stuff called gel. It's tasty, but extremely flammable. So I would recommend washing you're face really well. Learned my lesson about it." I explained, grabbing some of the stuff off the ground and putting some in my mouth, tasting a little more sour because it was a jungle slime.

  "Eww..." She said, using her magic to get it off of her.

  "Is that safe? Using non mana magic to clean yourself?" I asked. Seeing a tiny spark form, making me snicker.

  "Yes, and what's funny?" Twilight asked, before having her face lit on fire for a second. After it died out, her face fur now completely gone. Making me laugh really hard.

  "Told you it was flammable." I said, making me laugh harder until the point where my sides feel like they might split open. While I calmed down, Twilight groaned and then she teleported us back to the library. "So. Lets see how our little corruption is doing." So I walked to the door and opened, the air smelling torched and foul. I looked at the ground, to see some corruption growing. "Oh no you don't!" I growled, using my pickaxe to obliterate the purple grass, then I noticed a tiny bit of ebonstone, which was slowly expanding. I broke the stone surrounding it, making it fall, and I caught it before it molded back into the stone underneath.

  "So that's corruption?" Twilight asked, startling me, almost making me drop it, and I nodded.

  "I forgot I have some bottles with me. I'm going to put the ebonstone into one, and I don't want you to do anything with it. No matter for what reason. This stuff is dangerous. Until I find a way to dispose of it. Wait. I forgot. I can simply make it no longer exist. Duh, I forgot I could do it. But I don't know how it works..." I said, before making it disappear out of thin air.

  I opened the door and walked out before closing it, and walked in a direction. I walked for what seemed like hour's before it got dark, only for the sky to be lit up by the occasional falling star. One landed right in front of me, and I picked it up, and crafted it with the other 4 to make the mana crystal which I used to gain 20 more mana. Then I heard gurgling. I looked at the ground underneath me, to realize it had a slight purple tint. I sprinted back in the direction of Twilight's home.Good thing I have a good sense of direction. I thought. Before I heard the flapping of bat wings above me, and before I could look up, a dark figure landed in front of me. I take out a torch, and light everything up within a few yards, the figure had dark armor, which seemed to be made of what looks like turtle scales, but dyed blue flame and black. I take a step back, and as a result I get punched in the face, I pulled out my golden sword and struck the figure. I felt a sharp pain in my arm, and I look at it. My arm had a large cut, exactly where it should be, except on the wrong person.

  "You are the Disciple aren't you?" I asked, taking another step back.

  "Yes..." The Disciple said, sounding demonic and echoey, who then took out a blade, and swung at my neck.
