Ponies Souls

"Twi....Twilight? Is it really you?" The voice asked as the woman moved closer, looking up at her slightly. Twilight let out a gasp when she made eye contact with the woman.

"Fluttershy?" Twilight fell to her knees and gripped the bars of the cage. Oscar stood there looking between the two, feeling a sense of happiness between the two but at the same time, the overbearing sadness of the current situation. He sighed and left the two alone, walking back up to the fire above.

"What happened? Why are you in there?" She kept a hold of the bars and looked at her friend, on the verge of tears.

"I....I dont know, after you read the scroll, I blacked out. After who knows how long, I woke up in here, looking like this." Fluttershy pulled back her hood, revealing her pale face with pink hair falling down her face.Twilight frowned and yanked on the bars, trying with all her might to free Fluttershy. Twilights grip slipped and she fell back, causing her to groan.

"I already tried that Twilight." Fluttershy crawled to the back of the cage, her legs folding out in front of her. Twilight gasped when she saw the blood stained skirt that Fluttershy sat in. Twilight sat motionless, tears starting to fall.

"Fluttershy, what......what happened?" She stared at the blood covered skirt in shock.

"I woke up like this Twilight.......I cant move that well though." Twilight kept staring at the skirt, then stood up.

"I promise I'll find a way to get you out of there." Fluttershy looked up at Twilight with a frown. Twilight started back to the stairs slowly, but stopped when Fluttershy called out for her. She turned and rushed back to the cage.

"What is it?" Twilight had a worried look on her face as she reached Fluttershy.

"I heard that there was someone new here nearby. I can hear what goes on up there really well for some reason." Twilights eyes widened and she moved closer.

"Do you think its one of the girls? How long ago was this?" Her excitement and worry caused her to edge even closer and raise her voice, making Fluttershy shrink back as far as she could go. Twilight noticed this and backed off, letting go of the bars. They both relaxed and Fluttershy moved closer to Twilight.

"I dont know if it was one of the girls, but it wasnt that long ago." Fluttershy kept thinking on it as Twilight stood up again.

"Even if it isnt one of them, we still need all the help we can. Lets just hope it is though." Fluttershy looked up at Twilight with worry plain to see across her face, she looked back at her with a soft smile.

"I'll be back, dont worry. I dont plan on dying here." She walked towards the stairs and up to the fire. Oscar was waiting patiently next to the fire. He looked over at Twilight and waved at her to come over. Twilight slowly approached him with tears still in her eyes from seeing Fluttershy. She sat next to Oscar and smiled slightly, realizing that Fluttershy was probably safe inside that cage atleast. Oscar looked over at Twilight and sighed.

"Im sorry about your friend being in the shape she is." Oscar crossed his legs next to the fire, his armor plates scraping against each other as he moved. Twilight looked over at Oscar with a smile and edged closer to him.

"Thank you." Oscar noticed her moving closer and shifted uncomfortably as Twilight closed her eyes and leaned over on his shoulder, ignoring the stiff surface of his armor. She sighed and slowly started to nod off from the warmth of the fire and a stable body to lean on. Oscar shifted again, causing her to open her eyes and look over at him, a light blush spread across Twilights cheeks when she saw Oscars helmet barely an inch from her face. She scooted away in an instant to the other side of the fire and stared down.

"Im sorry, I....I...I..." The blush held to her face as Oscar let out a chuckle, surprising Twilight. She looked at him and saw he was standing over her and the fire, gripping his shield. He looked up a massive mountain behind Twilight, looking at the top pf a building he could barely see from where he was.

"Fluttershy told me that someone was nearby, it could be one of my friends." Oscar looked down at her and tilted his head.

"Friends? You're not alone?" Twilight shook her and held up her hand with all digits held up.

"Five friends, You've already met Fluttershy down there. The ones that are left are Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity." Oscar scratched his helmet with a confused gesture.

"Odd names, but if I were to make an educated guess, one of them will be there." Oscar pointed up at the building at the top of the mountain behind Twilight. She looked up and could barely see the building, then back down to Oscar.

"You're going to help?" The knight nodded and looked over to the man sitting on the rubble pile. He walked over and started talking to him, none of which Twilight had heard, she focused on the building at the top and closed her eyes.

"Please let one of you be there, and please Celestia keep them safe." Oscar approached Twilight and nodded to her, she smiled and stepped back, waiting for him to lead on. He moved forward towards the cliffside and followed it to a hidden staircase on the side of the mountain, with Twilight close behind.
