So, the morning after that... "Pleasing" night I had to get packed, I swear it felt like I was carrying the camp from how prepared I was made then. The cave. The cave was dark the second I entered, not only that but there was a loud crack and the cave sealed it self with falling rocks, alone that's all I could explain how I felt, so alone and so cold... I lit up one of the many torches i packed for light as I headed further in the cave slowly... After a long while of going down I found a river, the rivered seemed as if it was made of souls and there was a small boat with a undead looking pony that seemed ready to control it down the river  I shrugged and walked over to him "Uhm 'sup 'Skeletor' can you get me past this river" he just stomps lightly and after a second I wobbled and fell on my face, just as I noticed my gear was gone including my metal leg and eye patch covering the blinded eye he hit me on the head with his boat oar nocking my candy face out.

When I woke up he was at the other end of the river, he picked me up with shocking power and threw me off the boat, with a hard thud I landed on the glassy sand, when I looked back for the bone-pony he was gone, I shrugged and tried to get up only to land here on my face again I sighed and stayed there on the ground for a long while Intel out the corner of my eyes I saw a leg bone about my leg, a little smaller I crawled over there, the glassy sand cutting up my chest, I screamed in pain my after a moment I reached the leg, it sadly was still connected to a skeleton which I ignored and ripped the leg off of, I bit down on the cloths of the dead pony and ripped it off, tying the leg bone to my stump I noticed I saw looking back down on the rest of the pony, I sighed and felt like I couldn't just leave the skeleton I took the leg from to I took another bit of cloth from the cloths on the pony tying the skeleton on my back and looked around, I saw three ways I could go. North seemed like there would be more of the glass-sand, not a good idea noticing my hooves are bleeding a lot so I looked west. There was some kind of creepy forest that I could almost SEE the evil floating out, so I looked east. There was a large wall and a normal sized door, the wall almost seemed to cover the full east side so that way seemed best. I looked up at my skeleton... For some reason the name "Dark Fire" came to mind so I kinda shrugged and said "Well Dark, we are going east!" I wasn't sure why I said said that but I started east, going towards the door hurt due to the glass-sand under my hooves but after what I could guess was a hour I reached I door kicking it open with my bone hoof (the hoof Dark let me barr - Uhm I mean I took...) and walked in the first thing that happened was that the ground was stone and there was three doors, each saying a word above them the one to the right was "Level 1" the left was was "Level 2" the middle one was "Champion" I tried opening the middle, locked same with the left one so that means the right one or "Level 1" was first... Sadly...

So I entered the door and started walking, it was very dark I couldn't see anything intel I heard clicking of hooves behind me, I turned to see Lyra holding a torch, I tackle hugged her and in a blur of words I explained every I went threw, even about Dark Fire.

After my ranting Lyra spoke "my way down was kinda the same, but I came down to help!" She sorta shrugged at the bone thing and we started walking, I let her lead the way for three reasons 1) she had the torch 2) she seemed to have her gear 3) I mean... That flank! How could I not stare!?

So after, as far as I can tell, four hours for walking Lyra turned to me sighing and said "I think we are lost..." Before I could say anything she got close, very close it made me blush and i saw a faint extra glow grow on her horn, she was trying to hide that she was floating something other then the torch, all I got as warning was the glint of the dagger before Lyra, the mare I love will of of my life, sinked a dagger in my back...

Betrayal...
