Introduction

Introduction

It was the annual Ponyville races, usually won by Rainbow Dash, nobody even enters, they know their no competition against Dash, but out of the phew competitors that try their best, Dash thrashes them with ease, but this year she is competing with her old flight school buddy; Gilda. A young female Griffon, with flakes of purple feathers, she is the main threat, after hearing that Gilda has improved, Dash must win, and keep her name as 'Ponyvilles top flyer' .

The Journeys

The Journeys

She was curious about this potion, she inspected it more closely, their was a small label on the lid, it noted "Devils blood, any wish will come to you" but in smaller writing it said "Be careful what you wish for, it comes with a price"
Dash opened the lid, and took a sip.......strawberries! she was pleased to say it didnt taste like blood! But was unhappy to say, it did nothing, she stood their for a phew minutes......nothing, she chucked the bottle on the floor, it hit a small rock and shattered into tiny pieces, the red content leeking into the grass, being obsorved

"Great! what am I going to do now?" she kicked the ground
she closed her eyes, 'focus' she thought to herself, 'all I need is confidence'
"Eh-hum!" came a deep cough
Dash opened her eyes suddenly to see a cloaked stallion, tall and pale sanding above her, he wore a long black cloak that hid most of his body and face, his coat was a ghostly white, the only parts of his body you could see were his long white legs, and the tip of his snout, no mane or tale where in sight
"Er......can I help you?" Dash asked, backing away
"Are you Rainbow Dash?" the figure asked in a low tone
"Er.....yes...i mean no....i mean, who wants to know?" she said, making herself tall and broad
"Mr. Lucifer Devil." he said looking down at her
"Who's that?" Dash asked making a derp face
"That doesn't matter, do you or don't you want your hearts desire?" he blurted, quickly changing the subject
"Er, I guess so." Dash said, trying to sound serious, but a tone of excitement was heard
"Aha, and what be this wish, young Dash?" he asked, grinning
"I wish I was the fastest flyer in all of Equestria!" Dash said, her eyes shining
"And what are you willing to give to have this?" he inquired
"Anything" Dash blurted
"Very well!" he grinned, he rolled out a long scroll that had millions of mini letters covering it, their was one small gap "Sign your name here, this is the terms and conditions of your agreement." he had a gleam in his eye
"WHAT! I cant read this!!!! i have to be their in 5 mins " her eyes stretched open as the scanned the sheet
"I did not say you had to read it, but only to sign it" he pressed, he held a red phoenix feather quill in his hand and a small jar of crimson ink
"Whoa, you came prepared, what kind of ink is this?" she asked, it smelt of metal, almost like blood
"blood" he replied
She jerked and dropped the jar, but she had already signed the paper, she went to pick the jar up, when she had risen, the tall white stallion was gone.

The gateway

As Dash headed out to the field, it was a beautiful day to race, no clouds in sight, sun beaming down, and as still as the wind on the moon, she saw her buddy Gilda warming up, doing some stretches at the far side of the track, Dash kept down, hiding her face from the Griffon, keeping out of sight, Gilda had improved, and as much as Dash hated to say it, she was better than her, Dash hated coming to terms with the fact that she- the top flyer in Ponyville......or maybe in the whole of Equestria , was going to be beaten by a lion-bird! This could not happen, NO WAY! she had to win, for the girls, and for her pride.

She sneaked off of the field, and made her way to Zacoras hut, deep in the Everfree forest, she knocked on the door.....no reply, she knocked again, this time more firmly, a shout came from within "Quiet down and come inside, tell me Dash, why are you scared of loosing your pride?"Dash was shocked, how did she know it was her "Erm....thank you!" she pushed the door open, it made an annoying noise, like a drowning kitten
"Whats up with your door?" asked Dash
"The woodworm have come and eaten away, they shall not be leaving today." Zacora replied, Dash shrugged one shoulder,

"Tell me Dash, why so blue, the race is set, for Gilda and you." Zecora said, staring deeply into Dashes eyes

"I wont be able to win." Dash declared " But if i don't, I will let every pony down. I wont be the amazing Rainbow Dash, i'll just be Dash." she said glumly
"Its not just about the winning, young mare, taking part, that's why the ponys care." she nodded,
She looked around her shelves, as little bottles tingled and crashed as they were put aside on the shelf, she returned with a jar, it was small, about the size of a mouse on its hind legs, it had a droplet of crimson red liquid in it, it looked like blood "Whats that?" Dash asked, inspecting the jar,
" If confidence is what you desire, than take this potion, its as red as fire." She said, then turned and opened the door "Goodbye my young mare, remember to take care." Dash walked out, than Zacora closed the door
"Well, that was no help! I don't need confidence, I need speed." Dash walked back out of the Everfree forest, and headed towards the track, the race had not yet began.

The journeys end...

Dash, went on to win the race with ease, beating Gilda by miles, she went through to the county trials, then to the county championships, after 3 years, she was the best flyer in Equestria, she had a sky palace, was filthy rich, and was the main flyer in the Wonderbolts, but she hadn't forgotten about the deal she made, everyday was torture, not knowing what you did, what you said you would do, she then realized that she should never had made the deal, but it was too late, she went to the doctors, they gave her an operation to remove that small bit of the brain that ever remembered that day.
To her, its never happened, so Dash lived her life, had foals, got married to Soarin, and died next to him, she was glad that she would be remembered.
Once she was dead, it was not the end, she had been transported to somewhere, was it heaven? No it was the total opposite- Hell! The land of screams, pain and flames, she had no clue whey she was here! than the tall pale figure appeared
"Im sure you have no clue why your here?" he grinned
"No, could you explain?" ash asked
"Don't you remember the deal?" he asked
"What deal?" she was puzzled
"How could you forget?" he began to get furious
"I-I don't know, theirs something telling me to remember, but I cant put my hoof on it." she looked glum
"You belong to Mr. Devil now, you are his slave." he declared
"I am no ones slave." she fought back
"Let me refresh your memory, you drank a potion, i appeared, i granted you your wish, but in return you gave me your soul." his eyes sparkled
"No-no-no!" she screamed
"Yes, prepare for an eternity of.......well......Hell" he flipped his hood back and gave a roaring chuckle, his horn was broken and oozing black blood, his mane and tale was short and black, and his wings were bat like "I own you now, I will look after you for Mr. Devil, enjoy your stay." he joked.
