When she woke up she was in pain. Her head everything, she was on the floor of one of the cubes. This puzzle was new, over the exit it said in big bold letters, Trust. Leading to the exit was a rickety plank over a long gap. This couldn't be in the cube, this is more than 15 feet long. But did she trust herself? Suddenly she was in a new cube. "Wait how did she get here?" She couldn't have just teleported, was this reality? Or was it madness? Above the exit it now said loyalty. "Wait these correspond to..." Then she was gone and in a new one. She thought it was the pills, too many but as she travelled through this "world" she kept seeing familiar things. Hearing familiar things. She was starting to remember. Now up in the new pill room she then heard a voice.

"You're alive! Thank goodness! I thought I thought, it was over." As It rambled on she was genuinely shocked, it cared for her? After years if taunting and tormenting? To tell the truth it was touching but why would It care? Next to her was the pill bottle again so she picked it up and began unevenly walking toward the exit. "No more puzzles for now just rest. " Then a feeling of drowsiness came upon her, she fell to sleep right there. After a well needed rest on the cold hard floor she got up and continued with the cycle. After assuring it was safe she took the generosity pill and continued with the puzzles. She then started to hear,

"You're from, Canterlot!" She wondered what this place was but to her it was just more proof she didn't belong here. "Oh you poor thing! I have an idea!" An unidentified voice on the background yelled owe! Then was followed by a thick cutting sound. Then she heard, "Always think of what you can give not what you can receive." And the expected final quote she was used to stated. "I am generous, because when receiving it is just an opportunity to give." She now put things together, these were the element elements of of of. Peace? Prosperity? Harmony! It all rushed back to her like a tidal wave. Her friends the elements. Then as this realization came she heard her own voice.

" You see nightmare moon when all these elements are ignited by by the spark that lies in the hearts of us all you get the 6th element, MAGIC!" These thoughts then betrayed her. When the bad memories started rolling in.

"Restrain her!" Applejack said in an irritated tone.

"Just lock in there whatever, keep her away from us!" Rainbow Dash said urgently.

"Whatever it takes to keep her in!" Pinkie pie said bouncing along. Who were they talking to? Wait wait her "teacher". See? Cel? Celestia! That was the final straw! For the first time in her terrible life she didn't want to escape. Celestia was posing as It. Those feeling of remorse were nothing but fantasies to keep me in here! I will escape, but not for freedom for revenge! These horrid thoughts raced through her head as she angry went through the cubes. Then once they have been dealt with I will retreat to here. My own little world. Under my control. The visions don't matter! The disease has destroyed me! But it it is perfect! I love it! Now I will complete these....

"Congratulations!" It said in a happy upbeat tone.
"You have..." She interrupted it with violent words saying,

"Listen here you deceiving rat! I know you're little secret! You will die! I will not just follow you! You lied to me! I don't..." It interrupted in a still calm tone saying,

" don't worry, I said you may not like what you find. You have this wrong, it is my fault don't blame them! Blame me!" She interrupted again saying,

"I know who you are and where you are hiding! I will get you!" It spoke again with a sigh,"You have it wrong Twilight, please understand it is painful for me to see you like this. Today you turned 22, the truth hurst but you have only spent 8 years here. I lied for your own good. For your benefit. Your cooperation you now deserve your ultimate reward. "
