Adventure? How About a Flash Back

Chapter 3

Everything Seemed Just Fine.

Spike walked into the library to wake up Twilight from the mounds of books she had always made at night.

“So, Twilight you told me that you would tell me what happened. So what did happen?”

Twilight sighed, and decided to ignore the question and move on with her day. Twilight began to examine the preparations her friends made for the other princesses to visit her kingdom, so far all she had checked had been good. Everywhere she had walked this new secret was eating at her soul, knowing that a part of her own personality was torn apart and left to roam the known world. She thought to herself.

“Maybe these are just side effects?” As the days went on the feeling only got worse as if somepony had cursed her rather than healing her. She wanted to take a trip down to the Everfree forest to have a talk about these side effects to Zecora, but with the upcoming events she had no more time to leave her kingdom for another trip like the previous one.

Nights had passed, this new feeling creeped over her as if she was being torn apart even more from the inside, after a few weeks the day had finally come for her to present herself to the other princesses. The way she was feeling, Twilight didn’t even want to be in the sight of anypony that she would have to talk to, everyday she became more and more depressed, and dove deeper into a dark cave of hatred. When each princess came to talk to her, she tried to hurry each conversation, because she knew that it would be important to be nice to her fellow rulers of Equestria. After the big celebration, all of the Princesses gathered in the central hall of the castle, and said their goodbyes.

The next day Twilight decided that she needed some help with this new feeling of hatred, and destruction. So after a long selection she picked out a few volunteers to help her throughout the castle, this was the first mistake she had made in the past few days. After the days got worse and worse she called upon even more of her city to help her get herself together. After a few weeks some ponies started to complain, could it be that bad? She thought to herself, she didn’t see it as that bad, but an excuse. So she worked those who had complained even harder. As her friends had to sit by, and watch as she tore not only herself, but her reputation apart they all knew what to do. They all organized a small party to try to cheer up Twilight from this strange act she had taken up. She was carried into the room, one by one all of her friends lost even more hope in her recovery. All of them thought that a friendly meet up would surely cheer their old friend up, but as the day moved on she only seem to get worse. Nopony knew what kind of illness this was, or even if it was. So each pony took their time to observe what she was going through, not even Pinkie Pie had any idea what was going on. Twilight’s emotions were going off of the scale, days moved on as the friendly five tried to pull Twilight together.

A few weeks later Twilight woke up in the worst possible mood, she moved about the castle throwing fits everywhere she went. Every corner she turned she caused a new form of destruction, when all of her friends appeared to try and stop her. She simple complained, and said she needed no help. Dark thoughts slipped into her mind as she roamed the castle searching for answers to this new pain growing the the back of her head.

“Why must I always be disturbed by them, each problem I have they always try to help. Maybe I should banish them from the kingdom, and rule Greenwood by myself.” Twilight looked at herself in a nearby mirror, and noticed something she had only seen one. All over her body not a single bright color was showing, the more and more she thought about it, the more it made sense. Evil was growing on her, evil wasn’t just what all of the bad guys thought was good, but it was a disease. Something that grows on its hosts, maybe you could call it a parasite, and there was only one cure. Twilight tried to pull herself in the other direction to get help from her friends to bring her happiness again, but her legs seemed to be weighed down like cinder blocks. She took another glance at the mirror to she a hallucination show itself through her own magic. A new form of magic she had never seem before.

“If you even think that you’re going to escape my grasp, you’re going to need a lot more power than you posses. I have your whole body in my own control, I control your speech, your legs, and basically everything that you need to contact the outside of you.” The hallucination moved around her to show its face, it was a horrifying pony with sharp teeth, and shatter eyes with red around them. The armor he wore made him look even worse, it made him look as if he was twice as big as he should be.

“Now where do you think your friends are, I’m sure they’ll enjoy their banishment. Your relationships are on the line, aren’t you going to try and do anything about it? No I didn’t think so, I guess you just don’t like your friends anymore.” His voice was poison to Twilight, only if she could gather enough strength to break free of his spell, It was only a matter of time before he found a way to ruin her complete life in total, what was she going to do?
