Lost: More Than Just A Friend...

we walked for a few more hours until I found a familiar sight. An exit. We ran out as fast as we could, and found ourselves behind my house.

Fang ran towards us quickly. I was happy to see him again, but what I didn't know was that he was running away from something. A hole horde of tiny multicolored insect like creatures, too small to be changelings, were chasing him. Lyra created a bubble shield and used her magic to bring Fang in quickly.

The small bugs slammed into the bubble shield and swarmed all around us.

I was filled with shock, confusion, and fear. "What are these things?!"

"They're parasprites! They attacked ponyvile about a few years ago, eating food and buildings and everything, but I've never seen them attack living things before!" Explained Bon Bon.

We all ran inside my house, which Lyra was protecting with a bubble shield, and tried waiting out the horde. Three hours later, nothing. Another hour later, still nothing. They just didn't let up and kept banging onto the bubble shield. Some of the parasprites even passed out from banging into the barrier for so long.

I was getting tired of waiting and just wanted to get this dark magic out of me. "Amethyst, do you think that you could create a bubble shield as big as Lyra's?"

"Of course I can, I just can't teleport. Same thing happens to me when Lyra teleports with multiple bodies. Why?"

"Lyra, go teleport to Twilight's home, since that is most likely where she'll be, and get her to come here."

Lyra did as told, and Amethyst took her place holding up the bubble shield.

Lyra came back quickly with Twilight. Lyra had already explained everything to Twilight before she came.

"Alright, this might hurt a bit. You ready Roe?"

"Yup. Will this take long?"

"Most likely, since dark magic does have the chance to stay inside your body if we just do it the quick way."

Her horn lit up, and streams of lavender magic flew around me and swirled in circles around my body. My body emitted a faint white glow as my body seemed to absorb the magical strands. Pretty soon, the white glow turned black with a red outline, and My eyes and mouth were glowing a bright white.

I heard a loud whistling noise that seemed to get higher and higher, until a long beam of energy was shot at me while strands of magical energy continued to seep into my body. I screamed in agony as dark blood red and black strands of magical energy flew off of my body and vanished into thin air. My eyes and mouth were now shining with a bright white light as the beam of energy seemed to strengthen.

The whole process continued for about nine minutes, and my entire body was now filled with excruciating pain and my screams increased.

Right when the spell had ended, I blacked out.

I woke up in my bed. I couldn't move. I didn't see Fang. Trying to get up, I found my limbs were asleep when I only managed to move my shoulders. That explains one problem. I shuffled around for a minute, trying to get the blood in my limbs going again so I could move.

Getting up, limbs fully awake, I walked downstairs. I looked at the clock. Nine forty three.

"Fang! Fang? Hey, Fang?" I called out. No answer.

"What's going on?" I whispered to myself.

I opened the door to the outside. Right when I took a step onto the grass, my whole world changed. The green grass and blue sky turned into a barren land with bones and blood around the place with a blood red sky. There was fire scattered out across the land. I ran towards Ponyville.

Oh god. The whole place was on fire. Lifeless bodies of torn up ponies lay across the streets. I ran throughout the town, desperately looking for Lyra.

I found her home was still fine. I walked up to the door. Slowly, I creaked open the door. I froze.

Lyra's body lay on the floor, with several scratch marks all over her body. Her horn was severely damaged to the point where it couldn't heal at all.

I knelt down next to her body, tears pouring down from my eyes.

"Lyra............Lyra.............."

My emotions switched from shock, horror, and deep depression to anger and the need to seek vengeance on who it was that had done this.

Rage built up. I couldn't hold anymore of it in. I had to kill whoever had done this.

Just then, the world went black. I could still see, but everything around me was black, almost cosmic looking.

A low growl filled the air.

I yelled out. "Who's there? What's happening?!"

It responded with a deep voice that had a small growl to it. "You'll find out soon enough.....peasant....."

Before I could respond, the area around me shook violently.

I woke up with a gasp.
