Garrett ran through the corrupt tunnels, only slowing to jump the wide gaps that stretched down to pitch black. He glanced behind him to see an Eater of Souls gain on him. He pulled out his bow and arrow and took the monster down with one shot, sending it's carcass down to the depths of the crevasses.

"Shit!" He swore as he found a solid wall in front of him. He glanced back again to see more Eaters flying to his position. The Eaters of Souls had large oval-shaped, purple bodies. On the top of its body it had one large, bloodshot, green eye, with smaller eyes positioned around its upper body. Many wavy green tentacles trailed behind it positioned on the sides of it's body. On the front of it's face it had two large, jagged fangs that snapped at Garrett.

He took down two more coming at him, but more took their place. He looked frantically around him and saw a large crevice. He looked over his options. "Fuck it," He said and leaped down the crevice. He fell deep down into the darkness until he was quickly jerked up by his backpack. He heard the sound of fabric tearing and saw his magic mirror fall into the abyss. A glowstick was also dislodged and lit up the deep tunnel. The rest of his backpack tore and he fell again. He hit the ground hard, but nothing seemed broken.

The glowstick that fell illuminated the area. In the middle of the room he was in was a Demonic Altar. The altar was a circular pedestal. It was made out of a hard. dark, jagged material with what seemed like curved sharp teeth placed around the pedestal, differing in size. On one of the teeth, was his magic mirror.

It was impaled through the middle, with cracks all around the area where a spike stabbed the relic. Each crack had a purple smoke seeping through it. "Aw fu-" Garrett never finished his thought as the entire tunnel was lit with a stunning purple light. The light subsided and Garrett, the Demonic Altar, and his backpack were gone, vanished.

Garrett fell for a long time. He had been knocked out when the flash had illuminated the cave and once again his backpack caught on something, this time a tree branch. He fell to the ground in the middle of a town square. Unbeknownst to him, his weapons, items, potions, and tools had been scattered around Equestria. Including the corrupt seeds, that had just burrowed and started infecting the surrounding terrain, effectively starting Equestria's countdown to destruction.
