Into the Void

"Ver'Zin! NO! Don't die on me now, just hold in a little bit more, PLEASE!!!" Sen'Jin cried and cried until he fell, he wasn't crying anymore, for some reason he was... laughing? " Why am I laughing?" He gripped his head in agony, suddenly he heard a breath, he scrambled to his hooves, "Ver'Zin?"

"T-Tal'Jin, g-get the o-others, I-I still c-can be sa-saved." Ver'Zin slowly closes his eyes.

"Ver'Zin? Ver'Zin!!!!" Tal'jin yelled. "The others? Thats it, them!." Tal'jin grabbed Ver'Zin and put him on his back, he ran back to the village giving note to everyone that he wont be back for a couple months, "Everyone! I will be gone for a couple months, if I dont return within a year, you can assume I'm dead!"

"Wait!"

"Sar'Vil!?" Tal'jin said.

"Please, return safely!"

"I can't make any promises, little brother, bye." They both managed to keep their tears in.

He said his last goodbyes and headed out.

He made his way from The Badlands, where he lived, with Ver'Zin on his back he ran and ran and he reached Ponyville, close to the remnants of Canterlot, a couple hours away from where he lived, and right before he could head out, a small alicorn, about 3/4th the size of Celestia, interrupted them, she had a blue coat, with a mane looking like a void, "Princess Luna?"

"What? Where are thou going?"

"To the Everwinter River!"

"What!? That is far beyond the yonder of The Frozen North! To make it worse, that is close to the changeling hive!"

"Yes, I understand, really I do, but I need to get going now, my friend is in danger of dying and i don't have much time."

"Ok, but be safe, and return in one piece."

"Ok! Bye!"

He head off in his jouney to the Everwinter River, knowing it would take a few days he needed some thing to help Ver'Zin stop bleeding, he went to Twilight's Library, and got a couple bandages and bleeding ointments, then he heard a voice, 6 foot tall dragon, with purple scales, and green razor sharp edges, he had a huge pair of wings.

"Huh, who are you?" The Dragon said

"Oh, I'm Tal'Jin, who are you?"

"My name is Spike."

"Spike? Oh, you must be Twilight's assistant."

"Well, used to." Spike said in a sad voice.

"Oh come on, you know she might still be alive."

"I guess, hey! Where are you from?"

"The Badlands!"

"All the way over there!? thats like the most dangerous place in Equestria! And it take like 6 hours to get from there to here."

"I know, but I need to get heading off if I have any chance of saving my friend!"

"Wait!"

"Take me with you! Please!"

"I'm sorry its to dangerous!"

"Well so is it for you, and I'm a dragon, and I can breath fire, and I've been practicing with ice, see look."

Spike instantly froze one of Twilight's book then unfroze it with fire without leaving a single scratch on the book. "See!"

"Well I guess, but you cannot slow me down!"

"I promise I will only help and will not slow you down!"

"Ok lets get going, take something to sleep in, this will be a long journey."

"Ok!"

Tal'jin and Spike headed off in the direction of the Frozen North, a journey that will take a couple days
