Chapters In the darkness of sweet ponyville everyone is peacefully sleeping, except one very little drake. A chill races up spikes scales and he sits up in bed. Gasping for air he calms himself down enough to compose himself.
"Um, hey Twilight?" Spike asks looking up at his mother and sister crossbreed.
"Mmmph..." Twilight mumbles into her pillow.
"Um... Sorry to ask but I can't sleep... is there anything you can do?" He asks with pleading eyes though Twilight doesn't bother to look.
She yawns sleepily and asks "What is it? It's pretty late, what woke you up?"
"Umm, oh just a dream. Not a nightmare it's just... well, you know how in dreams something can seem normal but it feels totally not right at all? It felt really... off... know what I'm saying?" After telling Twilight this she nods and complies.
"I know excactly what you need." She smiles devishly looking away from spike.
"You do?" he asks more intrigued.
"Oh yes, only at times like these you need a good story to calm you down! Lets just dig under my bed here... and here it is!" She looks triumphantly at the leather back book with old yellow worn pages, and grins at the title.
"The Legend of Herobrine?" Spike asks questioningly
"Oh indeed, this is a great book! Star Swirl the Bearded wrote books when he was a foal before he wrote spells you know. Snuck this out of a little royal palace, guarded by a little royal guard..." She says in a tone spike never really liked...
"O-okay that sounds great! Um, yeah okay sure let's hear it!" Spike just wants this to be over with before he got more than he bargained for.
"Alrighty! Once upon a time, in a land of order. Everything was still, perfect. Although unlike any world before it, this one was created by a spark. A spark from a dream that ignited a whole fantasy!" She reads, while spike watching her with wide eyes soaking up every word.
"The essence of the whole universe was put into a form, a single being, and the form said I love you. And form said you have lived life well. And the form said everything you need is within yourself. And the form said you are stronger than you know. And the form said you are the daylight. And the form said you are the night. And the form said the darkness you fight is within you. And the form said you are not alone. And the form said you are not separate from every other thing. And the form said You are the universe tasting itself, talking to itself, writing itself. And the form said I love you because you are love. And the dream was over and the form woke up. And it began a new dream. And it dreamed again, dreaming better. And it was the universe. And it was love. The form then lived, and breathed, and snapped out of a dream with the universe saying, wake up. The form became human, and it walked around. It lived his life, and he did what he could, and he took up the name, Herobrine." She read aloud to spike with him looking back at her a little confused.
"What do you think it all means?" Spike asked back to her.
"Who knows? Star Swirl was an odd one." She replied.
"Now for the good part." She then continues to read to spike.
"In a land where nature is abundant there was a single sentiment being. He was a man, he had a standing upright body, a square head, a large torso, with two arms one on the left and right of his torso and legs at the bottom, and wore a humble attire of blue jeans and a lighter shade blue shirt." Twilight then showed spike the picture in the book gaining a "Whoa" from him. She loved it.
"Wow, Star Swirl was very creative for a foal." Spike awed.
"Indeed he was one powerful pony!" she replies before looking back down to the pages. She reads on.
"The man walked around in a cube land, everything was box shaped. So cube shaped, anything circle would be impossible to imagine. The man walked through the forests... and ran through the green grassy hills, an appetite for adventure. Wanting to conquer everything in sight. The man built himself a home. He as well gave himself a name, he called himself Steve. It was a nice name, he believed. He then added to himself a knight looking attire of a full suit of iron armor and weapons and tools fit for surviving the land. For the night brought with it danger, supernatural creatures appearing from everywhere to take over the human. He fought these battles and won them all. He conquered the land. He subdued everything to himself. Yet he was alone." Twilight looked over at spike and saw him fast asleep. She smiled.
"Goodnight my spike." She whispered.
Smiling and filled with content and a little annoying she couldn't finish the story, she too succumbed to the land of dreams.

Hello guys! This is the part where I ruin everything and break the fourth wall etc. Well not really I guess I'm not really in the story am I? Or... Am I? O.o
"Ahhh... what a morning." Princess Celestia woke up and went to the balcony where her and Princess Luna raised and lowered the Moon and Sun together, it was one of the times when they got to see each other for a little moment to exchange words before one or the other was going back to sleep, or going out and facing the kingdom to deal with timely issues. Immortality is no excuse to go without rest.
"Hello sister." Princess Luna greeted the goddess of the sun as she was lowering the moon.
"Yes, hello. Good morning Luna," Celestia smiled back.
"How was your rest? Well I take it?" Luna asked politely.
"Yes indeed it was thank you, though it was strange, while I was in the middle of my sleep I awoke abruptly for some reason with chills going up my spine. I believe discord must have something to do with this." She stated. Raising the sun.
"Do you think it's anything serious? Why do you think it was discord?" Luna questioned.
"I don't believe it's serious though it feels chaotic, I'll take it up with him later." Celestia determined.
"Well that's good. *Yawn~* Oh dear I'm getting sleepy. Farewell sister, I wish thee a good day."
"You too Luna, get some rest." Celestia smile to her sister.
Princess Luna walked back to her sleeping quarters where two Night Core guards opened her double door entrance to her room and let her in, as she walked into her room they shut the door's tightly and continued standing in statue like forms outside her door. Luna, while inside her room, took off her crown and her hoof shoes, and laid down on her lavender and purple bed to get some rest. Her room was mostly dark purple around the walls, and on the ceiling it was black with magnificent stars magically painted on to look like they were moving in coordination to the spinning of the planet they were on. A planet called Life. It was always quiet in her room, nopony walked down her halls and it was peaceful. She silently drifted asleep.

I walked through the trees and forests of this world, quickly gaining interest in the way everything was laid out. Nothing seemed to bother the lives of these seemingly innocent ponies. These creatures were sentinent in this dimension unlike the others in mine, though these horses looked the same to me as the horses in my world, it was quit fascinating. This world seemed unreal as to how peaceful everything was. I walked into a dark forest where everything seemed a little less peaceful than before and the land was shaped differently than the land of where the ponies lived, this forest was dark and had plants with sharp thorns and hooks. Some plants smelled strange and others smelled like a beautiful flower. Some had teeth and others hid underground whenever you walked by them.
I could hear the large variety of animals around me, I could sense their precence. Some part supernatural and others just normal and struggling to survive. This world was like my own... but I'm not alone in this one. There are plenty of others that walk the this land just like I would, and they communicate with eachother, they have lives and they make friends. They are everything that I could be. If only I knew how. I walked up to a pond with sparkling water. I looked inside and saw my reflection, there was just enough light parted through a tree with flowing pink flowers to see everything in the water like a mirror. The petals of the flowers glittered down and dripped into the water. I looked at my white eyes, my face, I saw how different I was from everyone. I looked up and saw how different this tree was from the rest of this forest, and I sat down, and admired the beauty of this forest. At least it was something I could do.
*Snap*
I sat still and listened to a small gasp emmited a small ways behind me, I listened to her gasp, the way she walked. I felt her confusion and her fear. I looked behind me and saw a small yellow pony with a big bright red bow on her head. Once she saw my gaze upon her she squeaked and ran off back to where she came from. I Looked back in front of me and thought of how lovely this world was. Of how wonderful it could be.

Apple Bloom sat in school ignoring the teacher going on about fractions, she couldn't get her mind off what she saw yesterday over the weekend. Everything about it seemed so weird... so strange... so mystical. She would have to confront Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo about what happened.
"Alright my little ponies! Any questions?" She asked only to be received with bored stares.
"Very good, I will now hand out this weeks homework packet. It's on fractions so I hope what you learned today will help you in the weeks problems." She replied with a resounding ringing from the school bell.
The Cutie Mark Crusaders, Scootaloo Apple Bloom, and Sweetie Belle, all rush out of the wooden school house, down the front steps and into the grass area where they all met up. They all saw Apple Bloom had something to say, and they looked to her with a waiting patience.
"Sweetie Belle! Scootaloo! I'm so glad you guys are here, I have something that may get us our cutie marks!" Apple Bloom states excitedly.
"What is it?!" They both replied in unison looking at her intently.
"I want to tell you more, but let's go to a place a little quieter." She then lead them both off in the direction of a darkly dense forest, the Everfree. They walked a ways through a beautiful meadow with a orange haze lifting off the grass from the glow of the sun. They approached the shade of the canopy and stopped.
"Why are we coming here!?" Sweetie Belle questioned worriedly.
"I know it's weird but don't go freakin' out on me. You both know how I usually go off to Zecoras to learn how to brew potions?"
"Uhuh..." Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle both uttered.
"Well I went off exploring a little to gather some ingredients for Zecoras potions-"
"YOU WHAT?!" Piped up Sweetie Belle.
"Oh come on Sweetie Belle! Let her finish the story! We both went creature catching in the Everfree before, that turned out alright didn't it?" Scootaloo stated.
"Yeah Sweetie Belle, it's not like this is anything new to us." Apple Bloom replied.
"Yeah but we could of got turned to stone! Remember that!? If Fluttershy wasn't there we could of-" Apple Bloom cut her off
"Don't worry about that, Zecora let's me borrow some potions of hers before I go out searching for things. I also have a special safe place in the Everfree. It's actually really beautiful." She sounded with pride
"You could of told me this before I freaked out." Sweetie Belle quipped.
"Well what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Scootaloo sounded while dashing into the brush.
The cutie mark crusaders walked through a thin layer of brush following the lead of Scootaloo and found a dirt path that lead to a special zebra's hut. They silently clopped down the dirt path, Apple Bloom confident and the others quickly whipping there heads around preparing for anything to attack. Zecoras hut soon came into view and they all walked up to the door.
Zecora was making herself some lemongrass tea when she heard a knock at the door. She swiftly walked to the door and opened it. The door creaked open to reveal Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle which were all happy to see a friendly face.
"What brings you to my home? Are all three of you here alone?" She asked the three of them.
"Zecora!" They all sounded together.
"Zecora me and my friends want to go explorin' in the forest a little! Can we stock up on some of your fancy potions?" She asked hopefully.
"What inspires you to venture so deep? Do you think this challenge is a little too steep?" She questioned further.
Scootaloo replied, "We can take it Zecora! Apple Bloom said this was somehow a quest to get our cutie marks!"
"And besides! I hear you have some pretty fancy potions to help us through!" Sweetie Belle sounds.
"If proving your marehood requires a picture, how does this inquire going through this adventure?"
"Well, we are going to search for a super rare creature! Once we catch it, we'll name it and take it to the mayor and get an award or somethin'!" Apple Bloom replies.
"A creature? What type of creature?" Sweetie Belle asks.
"Yeah this is news to me! What did it look like?! Did you see it?" Scootaloo asks curiously.
"Yeah it was weird lookin'! It had on clothes, and it was walkin' around on two legs, and it had two arms on it's sides. Worst of all it had white glowin' eyes." As Apple Bloom makes her description of what she saw, Zecora piped in.
"I do not know if this creature is real, though if it is my potions you want, then my potions you won't steal."
"What do you mean?" Apple Bloom asks in confusion.
"For my potions you need, my supplies you must feed." Zecora states firmly though with a smile.
"You mean we have to gather you more ingredients for your potion shop?" Sweetie Belle inquires.
"Simply put, yes." Zecora replies soundly.
"Anything you say!" Apple Bloom responds confident they are up to the task.
"Um, Zecora, what type of ingredients do you need?" Asks Scootaloo.
"Good question to ask, for I am giving you this task. I need some white feathers for speed, and more ashes from spires blazed with dragon fires." Zecora informs.
"No problem Zecora! We'll be sure to gather you some of those ingredients while we are on our search. Now about those potions..." Sweetie Belle replies.
"Oh yes, some are in my saddle bags you might guess." She states as she unbuttons her left saddlebag with her teeth and digs out two glass bottles filled with bright red liquid. She sets them on a humble wooden table nearby what you might call her kitchen. The table is seated with four small stools fit for sitting.
"These potions of healing, will perk your feeling. I have some potions of destructive power, I made them with a wisdom flower. Let me go get you some more, I will go look inside my drawer." She says as she leaves to go inside her brewing room.
Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo go and sit on three of the four chairs at a small table in the kitchen and gaze and the glass bottles of healing.
"How do you use them?" Sweetie Belle asks.
"Well, whenever you get a cut or wound, you pour the liquid over your wound and it magically closes up your wound and mends everything. Zecora says it won't even leave a scar!" Apple Bloom says.
"Wow, I wonder what other cool potions she'll give us!" Scootaloo says excitedly.
As if on cue Zecora trots out of the room and walks up to the table laying down various different colors of potions.
"This pink one is used for protection, for when you drink it you'll pass detection." She says as her points out the glass bottle filled with pink liquid.
"I hope it tastes good." Says Sweetie Belle with curious eyes.
"Who cares! If this will make you invisible which I think she is sayin', then we can go walking up to any creature at all without them even seeing us!" Scootaloo exclaims excitedly.
"Indeed the effects don't last, so try and save this one last. It is quite rare, so make sure to handle it with extra care." Zecora points out.
"There is a blue one and a grey one, what do those do? I'm not sure I have seen those before." Apple Bloom asks intently
"It is quite true, I have not shown you what these potions can do. The blue one explodes flames and fire, while the grey one makes you as hard as stone, making an attacker to leave you alone." Zecora states with a hint of pride.
"Did you invent all of these yourself Zecora?" Apple Bloom asks full of awe and wonder.
"Indeed it's true, young Apple Bloom, I made these all myself in that room." She says while pointing to her brewing room.
"Woooow..." They all awe in unison.
"Now take all of these on your adventure, I hope you all obtain your desired treasure." She tells all three of them with a smile.
"Alright Zecora, we should be going now. Thanks for all your help! We'll be sure to get those ingredients you asked for." Apple Bloom assures her.
All three of them each give her a hug and take the potions that laid neatly in a leather bag Zecora gave to all of them. Feeling prepared and ready for the journey they all walk out the door of the hut and head out on their journey. Apple Bloom leads them farther down the dirt path leading up to a small cross sticking up out of the ground to the left side of them.
"This is it." Apple Bloom says pointing to the cross sticking out of the ground made with two sticks and some grass to tie them both together.
Apple Bloom continues to lead them past the cross and through some thorny bushes of which they all managed not to cut themselves on. They approached a large wall of grass and Apple Bloom pushed the grass to the side revealing a beautiful glistening small pond where the sunlight reached. It had a beautiful tree overhanging the water with bright pink blossoms flowing in the breeze. Some of the small petals glittered down from the tree and landed softly into the water. All around the pond was tall grass hiding them away in their little paradise.
"Whoooa...." Scootaloo admired.
"I know..." Sweetie Belle sounds.
"Well guys, this is my safe place, and not only that..." She looks at the two of them intently. "This is where I saw, the creature." She says seriously.
Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle's mouths drop open. "Are you serious?!" They both exclaim.
"Well of course I'm serious! I wouldn't fib on something like this, but that's also why I set traps all around here, and only we know the safe place to come in." She states while looking at the grass that they parted to walk into their little area.
Apple Bloom sets the leather bag down at the roots of the tree and goes to her little hideout supply she stashed a little while ago. In the base of the tree there is a hole carved out by an unknown animal in which Apple Bloom used to hide various items.
"I have in this tree here a map of the Everfree forest, Zecora gave it to me so I would never get lost if I had to go deep in the forest. There are also five speed potions for out runnin' dangerous animals, but I haven't had to use em' yet. Lastly there is a book I got from Twilights library. It lists lots of the plants and animals around here." Apple Bloom says while pulling these things out of the bottom of the tree.
"Wow that's cool, let me see that book." Scootaloo says while bringing the open book's pages to her and Sweetie Belles eyes. "Timberwolves, Cockatrice, Porcupines, Tree Dragons..." Scootaloo reads off looking more and more worried the more she lists off.
"Heh heh... glad we have those potions!" Sweetie belle gulps nervously.
"Speaking of which, how about we give ourselves an edge right now?" Apple Bloom pipes up.
"Really? Right now? We haven't even started searching for that creature you saw..." Sweetie Belle states.
"Ah know, but I think before we go off tryin' to get our creature catching cutie marks again, we should start off strong. Here take a sip of this." Apple Bloom replies while taking out the grey potion and tossing it to Sweetie Belle.
"This will really make my skin as hard as rock huh? We should give it a name!" She says and then swiftly taking a sip of the bottle and then squinting.
Sweetie Belle coughs a coupe of times before she says anything. "Wow... strong stuff." She laughs.
"Let me have a taste!" Scootaloo grabs the bottle out of her hooves and takes a hefty gulp. "WOW! Tastes like pinkie pies fruit punch!" Scootaloo inspects.
"Alright now for me." Apple Bloom takes the open glass bottle out of Scootaloo's hooves and finishes off the last remaining drops of the bottle. "Oh mah goodness! That'll wake you up in the morning!" She quips.
"Well I guess we are all as hard as rock now aren't we? I don't feel very different though. Although I thought of what we should name it! We should call it Strong Stuff." Sweetie Belle muttered out still recovering from the strong liquid.
"YEAHH!" Apple Bloom and Scootaloo shouted in agreement to the name.
"Here let me test it out!" Says Scootaloo
Sweetie Belle raises an eyebrow "Hey Scootaloo what are you-" CRACK!!
"Hey it works!" Exclaims Scootaloo having just broke a large branch over the head of Sweetie Belle.
Sweetie Belle, having a hard time to process, what had just taken place Apple Bloom speaks up.
"Well I guess we all are hard as rock! Are we all prepared?"
"YEAHH!" Shouts scootaloo
"Yeah... I guess... we are all hard as rock... we're prepared for anything!" Sweetie Belle says finally regaining her composure.
"WELL LET'S DO THIS THING!" Apple Bloom shouts while jumping through the wall of grass and back into the forest.
"YEAH!" Scootaloo shouts while following Apple Bloom's lead.
"OFF TO ADVENTURE!" Sweetie Belle finally joins them and jump's through the grass joining her friends.
The three friends head off into the forest feeling prepared for anything and ready to face what was to come. All determined to get their cutie marks in creature catching, and just enjoying the fun of adventure they run off into the forest.

Hello guys, I'm so glad by all the views I have been getting, as I'm writing this I have three likes. As long as one person likes my story I will continue to write it all the way through, I'm doing it for you. :)
For someone to like my story has been like a dream come true! I'm very young and for this to be my first published story is like crazy awesome! :D I am a huge minecrafter and what inspired me to write about Herobrine was that in my xbox360 offline world I dug upon a wall of glass and a booby trapped room in my mines. (I PROBABLY WAS BEING TROLLED) by a hacker or my dog got on the xbox and was all *Muhahaha much troll* but yeah it inspired me to write this and I hope you enjoy! ;3
"YOU'RE GOING TO GET ME CHEESECAKE AND THAT'S FINAL!" Celestia huffed as she finished her afternoon snack order. For the fourth time they brought her either donuts or some cookies. Which she still ate but they still got her order wrong, who was to blame? She was in her private quarters about to do some paperwork for the wait and so she went to her desk. There were some pages in different spots on her desk but she focused her eyes on the one which laid in the middle.
"Celesitaaa~~~~~" Said a voice coming from the walls of her room.
"Who's there?" Celestia quickly fired up her horn ready to do a spell.
"I need help... I'm blind..." From where the voice was coming from discord appeared with his eyeballs in his hands. With a sad face, he put the eyeballs back in his head and became normal. Well, as normal as the god of chaos could be.
"Discord?! what are you- oh never mind I guess there really is no use scolding you." Exasperated Celestia sat back down and sighed.
"What are you doing here discord?" She stated simply.
"Oh why it's your friend, me, always willing to help you. Is there any other reason for me to visit?" Discord asked sweetly, much to sweetly...
"Yes. You have something to say Discord, would you mind not playing games for once and just spit it out?" Celestia tried her best to play tuff cop when she heard a knock at the door.
"Order of cheesecake and a side of roses!" A servant called from behind the elegant giant celestial decorated double doors.
"Oh Celia let me get that for you." Discord opened up the door promptly, nabbed the tray of food from the servant and threw the cake and roses off Celestia's balcony. He then continued to swallow the tray and burped. Celestia, keeping her composure as much as possible, while hearing something splat on the ground from the outside and what sounded like prince Blue Blood screaming she lit up her horn and levitated a sword from off her wall and pointed it at Discord.
"Get. Out. Now." The words were simple yet full of malice. Discord looked at her and lifted his hands in the air in a surrendering position.
"Alight alright I'll leave, but first know something, I have been having weird dreams lately, you know the kind I don't like?" Discord opened his mouth to say more until...
"And what Discord and what? I am actually happy right now, so far this is the only good news you have given to me. I take pleasure in you having bad dreams. I hope you have more." Celestia said with a sickening smile.
"Oh Celestia, in my dream I saw you. I saw you seeing someone else. It was quite strange, as if I was spying on you. Oopsies!"
"Discord, first of all you don't need sleep, and spying?" Celestia Sighed. "I knew I felt strange when I woke up, well I am glad I cleared that up. Though I don't remember anything from the dream." Celestia finished lowering her sword.
"Oh yes, anyways it is fun to watch you sleep, you learn many things from a pony that way... Also I have a word of advice, lay off the cake, and be sure to watch Ponyville, I hear some strange thing's have been happening!" He replied excitedly
"What weird things?" Celestia bewildered, Discord snapped his fingers and a top hat appeared above his head.
"Well I'd love to stay and chat my dear, but oh my look it's two past 4:00! toodalooz!" With that the hat fell over discord and he was gone. leaving nothing but the black top hat which soon popped out of existence.
"Oh Discord..." Celestia sighed through her nostrils.

Spike couldn't take it any longer. He had been working like a slave for Twilight who might as well be a tyrant. "Get me this." "Get me that." That was all he ever heard from her anymore. Yes he might be overreacting a bit since he got paid ten bits a day, which was a good price. He was just glad he was able to have some peace and quiet for once since the library was vacant for the moment. No pesky visitors and foals running around looking for a book on how to get a marefriend or a book on ponytics for a school paper on the monarchy of Equestria. He had some free time for basically the day of work was over. He thought over of what he wanted to do. It was one of those moments when you were finally free and you had trouble thinking on what to spend your time on.
"I know!" Spike beamed when he brought into his mind the fact that Twilight never finished reading to him that story when he woke up feeling strange. He ran up the stairs of the treehouse library and went up to twilights bed. He then continued to dig under her bed until he found the prize he had been lookng for.
"Yes! Alright now where did I leave off... Hmmm..." Spike continued to run his finger down the pages until he came to the sentence where he last heard the story.
"Blah blah blah... yet he was alone.. Ah here it is!" Spike found the part where he last read and started reading to himself.
So Steve the man went out searching the infinite world in an adventure to find a reason for his existence. He traveled to a temple deep in the tiger infested forests. He entered the entrance of the tunnel leading deep inside the temple. He lit himself a torch for which he used to light his way. While he walked through the walls of the temple he found ancient writings and texts others had written before him, by adventurers like himself. It displayed paintings on the walls of men and women like him, fighting off a beastly dragon.The farther Steve walked inside the temple, the more he saw. When the adventurers couldn't defeat the dragon, they all used the magic of pearls to send him to another dimension for which the dragon would stay and get weaker over time, until he was ready to be defeated. Over time the dragon found a way to use his own magic, creating large spires of obsidian topped with crystals of regeneration. With this circle of magic he created for himself a haven in which he was never to die, and never to feel pain.
"Incredible..." Spike admired as if the pages of the book were pure fact.
"Spike! Rarity is here! She says she needs some help with finding some gems?" Twilight called up to Spike from the bottom of the stairs.
"Oh cool wait for me!" So Spike ran off down the stairs and met up with Rarity. She had a little red wagon and to Spike she was looking as beautiful as ever.
"Ready to go my dear?" She asked Spike while handing him a shovel with her magic.
"Y-yeah! Anything you say!" Spike replied swiftly. The two of them then continued off in search of gems for one of Rarity's new fashion designs, and of course Spikes rumbly tumbly.

Thanks again and baiiii~
P.S. next chapter Herobrine get's real. Ciao! or will he?... o.o
Herobrine was propelling himself forward fast through the forest. Using the magic in his arms as twin jet turbo's. He wanted to explore as much of the forest as he could, he wanted to understand everything about this land. He spotted a huge ravine up ahead, overflowing itself with fog. He slowed himself and slowly approached a thin rope bridge. He looked across the bridge and saw what seemed like a castle, though fading away. He glided himself over the ravine and onto the other side. Walking on an old beat up cobblestone path leading to a castle entrance where it seemed there used to be a large gate. He walked through the entrance and into the castle, ascending the steps and walking onto a very old dirty faded red carpet. It was in the afternoon and the sun just lit the top of the castle with a golden glow.
*It's beautiful* Herobrine thought to himself admiring the architecture of what once seemed to be a magnificent stronghold. He followed the carpet alone until he saw two thrones side by side. One of pure gold and the other of what seemed to be a giant purple gem carved out into a throne. Above each throne there was a banner hanging of the sun and the moon. He walked up and admired the thrones up close. He then greedily sat himself on the throne of the Princess of the Night's and sighed.
*Ahhh... Home away from home* He thought it silly but he then looked around to see if a crown or anything of the like was laying around. As soon as he leaned forward he heard gears moving underneath himself. Unknowing as to what was going on, the seat of the throne opened up like a trap door and sucked him into a maze of different tunnels. Extremely taken off guard he was flung out of a tunnel into a room of stone for which he then promptly hit the ground as hard as gravity would liked him too and he then slid on his face two meters forward.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Cutie Mark Crusaders were on the hunt for this creature for about an hour. They followed the path that led them past some cliffs, over a river, until the Cutie Mark Crusaders came upon a large ravine overflowing with fog.
"Maybe we should just give up the search." Sweetie Belle proposed.
"Are you serious?! We have gone way too far to turn back now, we aren't stopping until we get our cutie marks!" Scootaloo chimed.
"You both are right, but how about we just explore a little past this giant cliff lookin' thingy and then we'll be on our way home." Apple Bloom looked to the others.
"Sounds good to me." Scootaloo agreed. She then looked over to Sweetie Belle to see her response.
"Yeah I'm okay with that." She nodded. They came up to a rickety old bridge that seemed not very capable of holding their weight. They looked to side to side only too see the never ending expansion of the huge ravine. Seeing the bridge to be their only option they all shivered , even Scootaloo the slightest bit.
Apple Bloom, leading the operation, came up with an idea. "Alright guys, how bout' we go each one at a time, and the whole time the other two ponies are holding the bridge from the end secure. That way it's safe!" She nudged her friends.
"A-alright, you go first." Sweetie Belle spoke up. edging Scootaloo closer to the bridge.
"W-why me?" She asked nervously.
"Because your a Pegasus! Even though you can't fly yet, if you fall you will probably land on one of those clouds below us or something." Sweetie Belle snapped.
"O-oh, y-yeah of course. I can handle it." Scootaloo replied coolly.
"Well, on with it then! Your first I guess. And don't worry, me and Sweetie Belle will keep this end of the bridge tight and secure, so you don't have to worry about this end falling off.... much..." Apple Bloom explained rather unconfident.
Scootaloo knew she had to do this for her friends. So she steeled herself up and started the march across the rickety old bridge. she strode forth on the first few wooden planks. Every time she took a step a rather soundly *creak* was made. *step* *creak* *step* *creak* there was no end to the horror and she wanted it all to be over with. Scootaloo readied herself for the final rush. She quickly buzzed her wings and galloped across the bridge. Her friends on the other side cheering her on.
"YEAH GO SCOOTALOO YOU CAN MAKE IT!" Apple Bloom cried.
"DON'T LOOK DOWN!" Sweetie Belle squealed.
Before Scootaloo knew it she had made it over to the other side of the ravine and was glad she did so, she then took her place on the other end of the bridge and made sure it was secure. Her other friends then began their individual journey across the bridge in a similar fashion as her. Once they all made it across they gazed over at where they strived to be. In the fog a castle stood in front of them. All three of them galloped to the front entrance of the castle and admired all of it's glory. It was truly something you would find right out of a fairytale.
"HEY GUYS OVER THERE!" Scootaloo shouted to her friends as two glowing eyes disappeared when a series of grinding and churning gears blared into their ears.
"Ahhg.. what was that noise?!" Sweetie Belle hissed, frightened.
"It was over there! Two glowing eyes! I saw them! They just disappeared when we heard that screeching sound, lets go!" Scootaloo sounded off before galloping off towards two majestic looking thrones.
"There's nothing here!" Apple Bloom exclaimed
"Scootaloo where did it go?!" Sweetie Belle asked franticly
"I'm not sure, it was just right here and *poof* just like that it was gone." Scootaloo explained best she could.
"Alright guys let's all split up, and meet back here in ten minutes. Be sure not to get lost alright?" Apple Bloom asked receiving nods from the others.
"Alright I'll go this way, Sweetie Belle You go left, and Scootaloo you stay here and see if you see that thing again, try to find where it disappeared to."
"Yes ma'am!" Scootaloo saluted.
"Will do! Roger roger dodger..." Sweetie Belle replied a little confused.
Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom headed out while Scootaloo stayed and started investigating.

For Twilight what seemed to be a good time to relax may be becoming a mystery. She had teleported to the castle ruins for some nice quiet reading in the ancient pony sisters library. While she was there she kept hearing the clopping of hooves and the grinding of gears and winding of trapped doors for which echoed throughout the whole castle. Something fishy was going on, and she was going to find get to the bottom of it.

Hello guys, short chapter again. I hope you don't mind but I find it more efficient to have a 1000 to 2000 word chapter each day consistently instead of a longer chapter every week. I am writing this chapter long into the hours of the night for fun XD I need some sleep. x.x goodnite guys. It was a pleasure writing for you again! :D I hope you enjoyed, ciao!
Herobrine got up off the grimy floor and dusted himself off. The room he unwillingly flew into was dark. I need some light... He fired up the magic in his hand to form a spinning cube glowing white as Faust herself. That's better. I wonder what's down in this labyrinth. Looking all around he spotted a dark hallway lined with ancient suits of armor from side to side of the hall way. He stepped on the cold cobblestone floors entering the hallway a ways before his foot pushed down on one of the stones, emitting a winding of gears echoing throughout the hallway. The seemingly enchanted armor made of pure silver stood up from their kneeling positions on the ground and with a bulky sound of banging metal they all took steps to surround Herobrine.
All together the suits of shining silver armor attacked with heavy gold swords with rubies embedded at the hilt of them, Herobrine perceiving the rubies to be the carrier of magical power guiding the suits of armor. Dodging quickly to the side of the first blade to come down, having it to come down puncturing another suit of armor right in the skull. Herobrine flashed his eyes lifting the other two of the four heartless knights to the ceiling crushing them to the size of a tin can. The former knight to have slayed his fellow companion blazed a stare at him flashing it's burning red eyes. Charging forward he thrust his sword at Herobrine's chest only for him to deflect the sword with swift kick to the side of the broadsword leaving the knight open for the taking. Herobrine rushed forward using the magic in his arms to charge the knight up with so much power it exploded. With all of the trouble taken care of Herobrine leaving all the broken pieces of armor behind continued his way down the dark hallways.

Sweetie Belle raced down the hallway of the castle feeling empowered from the potions. Throughout their journey they each were left with one potion to use for themselves. Scootaloo, with a speed potion, Apple Bloom had the explosion potion, and she was left with the potion of invisibility. She skidded to a halt where two hallways crossed. Three different directions in front of her, she looked all around. Looking to the left she saw a hint of something dart behind a corner. She turned left and chased after it. Galloping as fast as she could she darted around the corner chasing after to what she saw. She looked ahead, breathless from all the running about. In front of her was a long hallway, ending with a cobblestone wall. She started a light trot down to the end of the hallway, nothing being there. She could of sworn she saw something. Very frightened she called out.
"Hellooo? Anybody in here?" There was no reply, just silence. Hearing heavy breaths Sweetie Belle turned around and looked from where she, and what she saw brought relief flooding inside of her. Apple Bloom, looking breathless as well from all the searching.
"Apple Bloom! It's you, did you see anything?" She questioned hopefully.
"No, I have just been hearing noises. What about you?"
"There's no use, though I thought I saw something dash behind this corner, turns out it's nothing."
"Well let's just get back to Scootaloo, maybe she has seen something."
The two followed their tracks back two the throne room where they met up with Scootaloo.
"Hey guys! I figured something out you wouldn't believe!" Scootaloo ushered Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom over to a velvety purple throne. "I found this button thingy, watch what happens when I press it." The button blended in perfectly with the chair, almost impossible to uncover with just a glance. Scootaloo continued to smack her hoof on the button when a trap door seemed to open within the chair uncovering a large dark tunnel.
"See? This is probably how it disappeared! I could of sworn I saw it sitting in this chair!"
"Well what are we goin' to do? Just hop down there?" Questioned Apple Bloom.
"Have any better ideas?"
"Just wait a minute, this is crazy!" Sweetie Belle pointed out.
"Yeah but it's our only shot, I'm going for it!" Scootaloo replied before cartoonishly smacking the button as hard as she could and leaping inside the tunnel.
Apple Bloom shrugged and followed her lead, sliding down the tunnels with a scream of thrill.
"Are you guy's alright!? IT'S PRETTY DARK DOWN THEEEERE!" Sweetie Belle leaned over the edge, emphasizing her accusations. A little too much leaning, sadly, and she was down for the count.
"W-WHATS GOING ONNN!!?!? AHHHHG!!!!!!!" Racing down the tunnel until the very end where she was rudely spit out onto the hard filthy floor.
"Haha, well that's all of us!" Scootaloo grinned.
"Yeah well let's keep goin'. I wanna see where the rest of this leads." Apple Bloom started leading the others down a really dark hallway, barely visible except for an unnatural red glow and reflecting metal down the hall. They all trotted up to a pile of some bent and gleaming metal broken suits of armor on the ground.
"Wow... I wonder what could of happened here?" Sweetie Belle Squeaked.
"Probably a battle or something." Scootaloo then picked up a helmet off the ground and assembled it on top of her head. "Hey it fits!"
"Are you sure?" Sweetie Belle continued to lift a piece of the broken armor off the ground as well and put it atop her head.
"Wow you guys look amazin'! Let me try!" Apple Bloom followed in her friends stead and put on one of the pieces of armor as well. All wearing pure silver helmets their spirits were somehow lifted. I guess that happens when you wear fancy clothes.
"Now we're real adventurers!" Scootaloo beamed.
"Yeah but how are we suppose' ta find our way around?"
"Well, maybe I can make a little spark with my horn?" Sweetie Belle struggled to ignite some magic on the tip of her horn. She grunted until.
Scootaloo cheered. "YES! It's working! Good thing that helmet has a hole for a horn to go through!"
"I wonder why yours does and mine and Scootaloo's doesn't?" Said a southern accent.
"Huh, it's a mystery I guess." Sweetie Belle shrugged.
"Well let's continue down this hallway, maybe we'll find somethin'."
All three of them raced through the underground of the castle as if it was the landing craft on the moon was taking off without them. They finally raced around a corner where they were met dead in the eyes, with fear. Sliding to a halt, there in front of them, was the creature. It spoke to them as if it was inserting the words directly inside their brains.
___________________________________________________________________________________________
*Hello!* I casually waved. In front of me there was three little equine creatures that needed to hinge their jaws back on their faces.
Before I had any time to react, the seemingly little soldiers took battle stances right in front of me.
"CHARRRRRGE!!!!" All at once they all leaped at my chest, and my legs, hitting and trying to pin me down to the ground. I Furiously raised up to the roof and squished the little white one against the ceiling for which seemed to not affect her.
*WHAT'S GOING ON?* I replied as they continued trying to ravish my being, I managed to throw the little critters off of me and raced down the hallway. I was cut off by the orange one that zipped in front of me going lightning speed.
"Going anywhere?" She said with a smug face.
*Alright, you want it? Your going to get it. Game. On. Or over depending how this goes.*
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
There was no use, whatever Twilight kept hearing it was definitely inside the walls, she would have to find someway to check it out. She opened a book about the castle to find an opening. Proud she brought her handy little booklet, she skimmed across the pages finding a diagram of a green lever for when she pulled it the lever would open up a secret door in the wall. Or so the diagram instructed. Perfect.
"Hmmm... green lever... green lever... oh here it is!" Down the hall on her left, the lever just chillin'. She clopped over to it and inched the rusty grinding lever down with a satisfying click. Before anything could even happen, a deafening sound bulled into her ears.
BOOOOOM!!!! Crashing up through the floor just behind her, was a giant mass of bodies bursting through the floor, fighting and clawing at each other. Most interesting of this wildly bizarre case, was a huminoid figure with... Sweetie Belle? To her utter most confusion Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle were clinging to this creature at it seemed they attempted to capture the beast. She reacted with a speed for which impressed lightning itself. Squeezing all her magical might into her horn, she amplified her voice a thousand times, mimicking the Royal Canterlot Voice.
"STOOOOP IIIIIT!!!!!
The mysterious creature slowly lowered to the ground in front of twilight.
"He ain't goin ta go till we get our cutie marks!"
"He's ours fair and square!"
"I wonder for how many bits it'll sell?"
"..."
How... is this happening... Twilight was on the verge of insanity.
What are they doing here?! How did they not just get crushed to pieces?! WHAT IS THAT THING?! Twilight's mind couldn't comprehend the chaotic scene, so much she let the frustration get to her, it flowed through her mind, into her lungs, out her nostrils. There was no end of it until-
CRABOOOOM!!! Twilight exploded into a fiery inferno which quaked the lands. She fell to the ground hard onto her haunches and put her hoof to her forehead trying her hardest to think clearly. It was then she felt an arm rest on her shoulder, and when she looked up she stared into the glowing eyes of a storybook friend of hers. The sympathetic eyes looking into Twilight's, silently asking her if she was alright.
*thud* She was out, probably a food coma.
The excitement was quite over and the tall figure motioned for the little ponies to come over and help lift Twilight up.
"This did not turn out as I quite assumed, at the sound of the explosion I thought we were all doomed."
"Zecora!" The three fillies shouted in unison.
"You think I would leave you alone? Just because you had potions of stone?" Zecora smirked, eyeing the Huminoid being whom was equally confused as she was interested.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
I pointed to the striped pony, and then to the three smaller ones, and then shrugged and made a "Why are they doing this to me" kinda face. She seemed to get the picture and was about to explain, only for the young smaller equines to cut in.
"Well you see, mister, my friend Apple Bloom-"
"I saw you the other day! I never saw a creature like you before so I thought-"
"We, thought, that we might get our cutie marks in catching a new type of unidentified species! We would call ourselves, the creature catchers!"
After all three of them finished there babbling I carefully examined each of them. They all seemed to be perfectly fine little girls, well, besides the fact their were ponies. Maybe these equines were more ambitious than I ever believed. This was going to be interesting... very interesting indeed...

I very much hoped you enjoyed this and if you didn't please leave me constructive criticism down below, OR... you may bash me with the harshest words possible. Once again I am young AND a noob at writing and why am I doing this? Well I decided it was about time I put something in this fandom... I guess... XD But it's alright as long as one person likes my story I will work continuously on this story until it is finished! Speaking of likes leave one below? Would really help my self of steam! :D
Further down the dark tunnels of the temple, there was a smoky mist in the air, and a green hue drawing Steve near. He walked down the tunnel and stumbled into a room built as a shrine, and in the center of it all, a golden frame showcasing a map. The map seemed to show the whole entire world. Steve was dumbfounded. Believing the world was infinite, he no longer had heart in ruling over a kingdom. What was the use if he would be ruling over the villager? They spoke a language of about ten phrases, an impossible language to learn. What was the use?
Almost glaring at the corner of the map, he examined a small, almost microscopic, perhaps, red circle. With an equally as large arrow pointing to the circle with a sentence above it reading. "You are here." It was simple enough, that reading this map it was declaring that the world has an end, it has a beginning, and it can all be conquered. It could all be his... It was just so massively large that there seemed to be no end. His previous adventures ended in grief that he couldn't find any other sentiment beings other than the villager. He then sought himself a new quest, a burning desire to find his own kind. All he needed... was a stack of pearls.
___________________________________________________________________________________
Waking up I looked up at the walls of my room. The wooden frame ceiling... If I should say so since I live in a tree. I rubbed my greasy mane and felt the grimy salt underneath my fur. I must of been out hard. I was in the library in my bedroom. getting up from my bed I thought as hard as I could to fathom what took place. I teleported to the castle ruins to relax for a little bit when I heard mysterious noises. That's when I-
"HEROBEANS!!" My eyes widened in shock, from remembering of what I saw before I blacked out. "It couldn't be though, it was probably a dream. That explosion probably knocked me out. The explosion by the exploding Cutie Mark Crusaders... and... him."
Twilight's thinking out loud session stopped abruptly with a knock at the bedroom door.
"Who is it?"
"My dear Twilight, it's time to get upright, join me downstairs for tea. I know just how happy you will be." Zecora chimed through the oak wood door.
"Alright Zecora, I'll be there in a minute." What was she doing here? Wait how did I get here? I probably should of asked myself that first when I woke up. She probably had to drag me here all by herself! Unless she had a potion for that.
Magicking *or something* a brush off her dresser she gazed into the mirror at herself and straitened her tussled mane. Feeling refreshed she opened her bedroom door and clopped down the stairs of her tree to find the Cutie Mark Crusaders and Zecora sitting at her table fraternizing over wafting hot beverages. Eyeing the group they greeted her.
"Why hello sleepyhead, have a nice rest in bed?" Zecora asked politely.
"Ah'm really sorry!"
"It was her idea!!"
"Weren't we AWESOME?!"
"Yes, thank you Zecora, I did. Apple Bloom, can you please explain what in the world was going on?" Putting the Cutie Mark Crusaders at ease Twilight took her seat at the table aided with a hot tea provided by Zecora.
"Well, uhm, ya see, we were tryin' ta get our cutie marks by creature catchin'!-"
"Again?" Twilight facehoofed.
"Yeah but this time was different! Zecora was there with us!" Apple Bloom directed Twilight's attention to Zecora.
"It was a desire of fire they held so dear. To go creature catching without any fear." Zecora explained to Twilight, who was starting to understand. Albeit a little.
"So alright I saw you bull riding that... creature... where is he- I mean it. Where is it now?" Twilight questioned getting glances from the nervous fillies.
"Well after he helped drag you here, well actually towards the end there he just started floatin' ya on a cloud thingy but after we got you here he told us he had to leave. I don't know where he might've gone. Though he did say he would go to a river.Too bad he didn't want to stay, we could of charged ponies the price of their FOALS to see it!" Apple Bloom vented.
"Excuse me?" Zecora shot a disturbed stare at Apple Bloom of which just sat there sipping her tea.
"WHERE IS IT NOW?" Twilight slamming her hoof on the table reeled back with a nervous chuckle. "Hehe, I mean, um. Where did it say it was off to?" Twilight pondered. Only if she was listening to Apple Bloom clearly she would already have her answer. Instead she seemed quite frazzled. The feelings in her overflowed.
"Oh he said he was going off to a river somewhere. Something bout' meditating" Twilight happy with Apple Blooms reply nodded.
"Thank you my friends. Um, I have to go for now. Zecora will you keep an eye on the library for me while I'm out? At least until spike returns?" Twilight pleaded.
"No problem my friend. Though only for a few bits so I can spend." Zecora offered sly as a fox and as sharp as a tack.
"I suppose I am the element of magic in the elements of harmony and I have saved Equestria, of course with my friends, countless times so yes. I believe I may spare some bits. How much?" Twilight asked coolly.
"A hundred bits. Take it or leave it." Zecora replied bluntly.
"Oh Zecora! I-I, um, o-of course!" Twilight tripped over her words taken back by the sudden demeanor in Zecoras voice. In a rush twilight grabbed her saddlebags and shot a glance over to Zecora.
"The bit's are in my saving's drawer, in my room. Feel free to take them whenever you feel." Twilight was stirred up. Bolting out the door from her tree house and galloping to Ponyville's bridge that led outside of town. Surely he'll be there.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Maybe? I have no clue what I'm doing. This is insane. Could it really be the creature I saw from that book? It has to be. Same blocky figure, same clothes. The eyes threw me off though. They were so... glowy... Well I sorta got myself into this mess. "Hey Twilight! How about I give myself a little time to relax and read a book? You live in a library after all!" I thought to myself out loud, not caring for whoever heard me. *WHAT was I thinking. Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. If it's anything along the lines to the ending of that story this will be a disaster. If what I saw was him then this can only be a turn for the most possible, horrible, disgustingly worst threat the Equestria in the history of all histories! I will NEVER!... Let anything like what happened in the book happen to Equestria... Nope... Not ever...*
I continued my walk through Ponyville on my volunteered adventure attempting to at least confront Herobrine. *Maybe I could possibly reason with him. Or hopefully nothing in that book was true and it was something different I perceived with my, lets face it, amazing eyes. Too bad Vinyl is always getting all the attention. She knows it, all she has to do is take off those glasses. 'Sigh' Who knew I was so bitter? I blame the tea.*
I approached the bridge, crossed it's frilly goodness and continued walking down the river, searching for the hero of my nightmares.
Author's Note
Hey guys! Sorry for the really late and short chapter, I feel guilty. The last thing I want to be is one of those authors that start a book, then in the middle of it go on a life trek to go get inspiration from the magical jungles that grow bubble gum trees. For me it was my family. Always getting in the way with my school and writing. Shame on them. Always wanting me to have fun... but yes! I did have LOADS of fun on my little break. My family came over and stayed at my house for a while, then I stayed over at their house, lot's of Modern Warfare 2 and cheese. I'm back now and happily writing! :D Yourrrrr welcome! Hehe... thanks.
I was rudely interrupted in my sleep by a blinding white light, and I sensed exactly where it was coming from. Flying over the afternoon skies in my groggy state, I located the signal of the interruption of my dreams coming from Ponyville. I swear if it's Twilight working on some new spell by my night, I will vanish her horn for a week! I was actually quite more than groggy, I was in fact, cranky. Albeit if it was Discord causing this mischief, I had some ideas of what to do with him as well. The plan included rounding up all the elements of harmony, and turning Discord's face into stone, and only his face. So he then wouldn't be able to breath. Oh also his hands, so he can't do his annoying little *snaps* and become free of it all. What did I eat last night? Pondering as to why I was thinking such foolishness in the first place lead me to believe once again, it was all his, or her, or whatever it was, fault that I was cranky. Being woken up in the middle of the day like this just to tell some dirt bag to key down the magic and entering my mind. It was against the law-! I froze, and went over what I had just thought. It was against the law... that... does it. WHY I SHOULD SEND A WHOLE BATTALION AFTER WHATEVER CAUSED THIS MADNESS! I COULD STILL BE SLEEPING RIGHT NOW! This calls for personal revenge, sneaking into my temple, (my glorious body,) and just stirring me awake like that is unacceptable! I'LL SENTENCE THEM TO THE STOCKS! NO, EVEN WORSE! THE RACK! FORGET THIS PEACE BUSINESS! MY BAT PONIES NEVER GOT THEIR REPUTATION FROM JUST BEING ALL KISSY KISSY LOVEY DOVEY, THAT'S CELESTIA'S ROYAL GUARDS JOB! The more I thought about it the more I got worked up, and I made an attempt to calm myself. Well... I guess it could be Twilight researching some miracle spell... I probably shouldn't be so rash. Since I have the power to forgive myself I will. Now time to see who this intruder was.
I banked left down to the ground, landed swiftly next to Ponyvilles flowing river. I perked my amazzzingly glorious princess ears to perceive any sound that may be coming from this being. I heard a soft pattering of feet on the pebbly dirt by the river. It was a crunching sound combined with the grinding of pebbles under sompony's, or something's, feet or hooves. I glanced to my right where I heard the sound. I couldn't believe my gorgeous eyes, if I do say so myself. There in front of me a set of square footprints leading down the river, and they just kept going. What is this madness?!? Invisible being with square footprints? INVISIBLE WALKING BRICKS?!?! Discord.
"Show yourself Discord! I know it's you. Stop playing games. I know it was you that entered my dreams, stealing my unending vastness of knowledge I possess. You blinded me in my dream with a bright light and stirred me awake, I suggest you explain yourself NOW!" I shouted at the intruder I summed up to be Discord. When there was no answer, I readied myself for an attack. An OFFENSIVE, attack. I stared to where the footprints stopped.
"Alright, if you won't answer me, I'll just come in after you!" Combining all the magic I had in the base of my horn flowing all the way to my tip as I could muster up, I prepared a flash stun lightning bolt attack meant to zap and have anyone or anything on the ground within a range of 25 feet from this blast. Or so it said on the package. They better be right, misleading advertising I swear... Not wanting to get started all over again I unleashed all my fury withheld inside my horn. A magnificent bolt of lightning extending from my horn and branching out like a tree flashed out of my tip, reaching 20 feet. Darnit! After the powerful blow I was then counter attacked, believing my attack did nothing I quickly put a barrier around myself with my awesome magic. I watched in front of me as two magical glowing white cubes combined within themselves, one a hot dense shade of white and the other a larger square but less dense though surrounding the other. Anticipating a large amount of magic output on my small but dense barrier I constructed around myself I squeezed more defensive magic into my barrier. The cubes spun together at an alarming rate, growing in density and brightness. The extremely loud humming sound they made together as well was altogether frightening. What if it's another spell like I got when I was sent to the moon? I wish I could send Celly to the moon... No, the sun! MUHAHAHAHA! Er, right the battle. Squeezing some more juice into my now three foot thick bubbly blue barrier the white cubes exploded. Even though I was protected by the blast, I felt the magic of this spell flow over me, as it flowed over my barrier it kept eating away little by little of it, I could also feel as if my magic was being drained away. What have I gotten myself into, this isn't Discord, or Twilight! Even though they both have a knack for chaos this right now could be considered ASSASINATION! I wish they were here right now!
"PRINCESS LUNA!" As if on cue Twilight shouted to Luna in hopes of gaining her attention.
"TWILIGHT! HELP. NOW!" Luna desperately called.
Lighting her horn Twilight weaved a freeze spell of subzero temperature's magnified by a thousand. Aiming directly to another growing in mass dense white spinning cube of certain mass destruction, she released the pent up spell of magical energy, a loud ringing sound could be heard from miles. Freezing her target and stopping the growing energy cube the being took form under the ice it was frozen into. Resembling a human, they saw a blocky figure with a box for a head, and bright white glowing eyes.
"THAT'S HIM!" Twilight exclaimed pointing to the frozen Humanoid figure.
"Him? You know this creature?" Princess Luna questioned Twilight.
"Definitely. I mean, um..." Twilight paused, thinking the best possible way she could place her words.
"Never mind, let's just get this 'thing' to Canterlot, so it can be punished." Luna said to Twilight, the last part of her statement sounding manically evil. Twilight wasn't sure what she meant by that, but Herobrine did try to technically kill Luna. Did he? Assuming he did Twilight nodded in agreement and using both of their magic together they lifted up the frozen ice block figure.
"Hop on!" Luna gestured to her back.
"Alright Princess." Twilight swiftly climbed up onto Luna's back and they flew off towards Canterlot, their frozen ice sculpture in tow.
I was cold hearted... not in a cruel way, it's just when you get frozen solid it hurts. With the freeze spell's magic the only thing keeping me alive, well, besides the fact I could be considered a demi-god, my heart was very much frozen solid. I wonder what I could do to get out of this? I wonder where princess Moon Butt is taking me. I could probably use Sparkle Butt to get Moon Butt to free my butt. Wait, what was I thinking before? I had to act fast, I could still hear them through the ice. The words "chamber" and "evil device" ringing through my ears every two minutes were taking it's total on me. I didn't blink before I was frozen, only if I had my eyes closed when Sparkle Butt froze me I could open them again and use my magic. Now my sockets were just frozen in place. I guess I would have to persuade Sparkle Butt to let me loose with charm. Here goes nothing.
*Hello, Sparkle Butt." At the hearing of the voice seemingly coming from the inside of her head, Twilight froze rock solid, her eyes widened the size of... larger than usual circles, and her fur stood on end.
"Y-yes? Hello voice?"
"Twilight who are you talking to?" Luna questioned.
"The voice inside my head." Twilight, unknowingly spoke before she thought it through. Her fur stood on end ALOT more than usual.
"Huh? What are you...?" With Luna's reply it made Herobrine facepalm. Well, as much as he tried to facepalm anyways.
"Oh! No, it's actually not a voice in my head you see I said... I made him eat led! Yeah, I made the creature eat led! Is what I was trying to s-say..." Twilight quickly tried to cover up. Though she new it was her worst day ever possible with all these brain farts.
"Eat led? Is that a new saying?" Luna questioned further.
"Oh yes! All the foals are saying it these days. I-it's quite p-popular!" Twilight grimaced, unknowingly to Luna who kept her head straight on the flight path towards Canterlot.
"Why I guess I should use it sometime. You know with me being on the moon for so long I missed out on quite a lot. The least Celly could of done if she loved me was send some cake to the moon for me. She has always feasted upon cake, and if she could send a full sized alicorn to the moon why not a slice of cake? harsh feelings I know, but I can't help it." Luna vented to Twilight.
"I'm sorry, Luna. If I only knew..." Twilight couldn't think of what more to say. What Celestia did was harsh, but necessary. Though it wouldn't hurt if Celestia sent something to Luna while she was on the moon. To improve her long imprisonment.
"It's fine Twilight, I guess you could say I got what I deserved. No going back now. Wouldn't be worth all the work just for my past self to go a different way in life. I'm happy as I am now. That's all that matters I suppose..." Luna's thought's wandered off a little bit. Though she was lying to herself, she knew she had unsettled business with Celestia. This was his perfect chance.
*SPARKLE BUTT!!! LET. ME. OUT. NOW!" I pleaded.
No.
*PLEASE!*
No.
*Why?! Come on Sparkle Butt, I was just taking a walk, I didn't even know Luna was THERE! She just ATTACKED! I don't hear with sound. I feel their thoughts, ever why I speak through my mind to yours?! Apparently Luna was too far away for me to detect them.* I lied quite convincingly.
Stop calling me SPARKLE BUTT! Besides I'm sorry it has to be this way but either way I'm glad your captured. When we get to the castle I have some questions to ask... That is final are we clear?
*Yes Sparkle- I mean ma'am...* After the conversation ended things quieted down. There wasn't much cackling and devious planning going on anymore. I take it there were female, so they took the pleasure of enjoying the beauty of the night sky. I bet this "Celestia, god of sun" is pretty jealous that you can't gaze into the beauty of the sun. Well, you can, but that's what blind people are for. I suppose the sun created beauty on it's own though. That's a treasure in itself I believe. With my fixed in place eyes I stole a look to where we were heading. Which didn't serve me well enough, since we were already there. Right in front of me we was a large palace for which we were lowering to the ground inside of. Filled with a bunch of Overrated dwellings for the rich, I wonder how long it will take them to realize just because you paint gold everywhere doesn't make where your living high class? I guess that was my judgment though, nothing like a beautiful oak wood cabin by a flowing river... Ahhh those were the days... I wish to find peace like that in this world. Finally a place I can sink my feelings into without being hurt because I am unable to share them. This was going to be perfect. Well, as long as I got out of this alive.
"GUARDS! Secure this foul block of ice." Luna commanded to her Royal Night Guard who were more blood thirsty mercenary's than anything. Well, they'd like to think so.
"The ice spell won't last long, the duration of the magic will only hold for a couple of hours. We need a room, but not just any normal prison. We need a simple boxed room forged with enchanted iron. Princess, do we have something of the sort?" Twilight coyly asked of Luna. Luna nodded her head and commanded to her guards.
"Take this creature to our, Death Chamber Of Mass Destruction 13317." Luna concluded with a laugh that could be considered pure evil.

I don't like this I don't like this one bit. If I stay trapped as I am now I'm going to go through pure H.E. double hocky stick! I used my minds eye. I heard the sounds, I felt the vibrations, I mapped out everything going on around me. Luna was behind me, with Twilight behind her. AKA Sparkle butt. I was being escorted by 15 guards, that were all equipped with fashionable armor and iron weapons. They held mostly short swords and daggers. I was being led down hallways and corridors to what I assumed was my certant doom. This ice is unstable, though for what the spell was it was weaved rather magnificently. If I can pump enough strength into one arm, it will flux and strain against the ice. I began flexing my right hand. Up to the wrists, the arm, all the way up to my shoulder. I cramed as much energy I had into flexing it, making it bigger. With all my power I formed a little crack in the ice. With hardly a sound I made it grow. Crack by crack, line by line, I made it grow out to the surface of the ice. Holding back until this moment, as to not tip off the guards, I gave it one final push!
Crack! All the ice exploded! It shattered like fine glass and was strewn out all over the floor, in that single moment, in that single second, I took my chance. I pulsed my eyes open and pushed my magic into my arms. I made my magic grow inside my hands faster than ever before, and let off a precussion blast so great, it made the remainding ice on the ground evaporate.
Half of the guards flew into the sides of the walls and were knocked unconscious. Before the butt's could even react, I bolted down the corridors. I was like a mouse racing for a prize, and my cheese was the exit.

"STOP!" Luna called out, sending her guards chasing after me.
"I'm trapping him right now." Twilight assured Luna as she convulsed magic into her horn sending out a beam of light above her head, busting into the ceiling above her. Anything in her beam of light was burned to a crisp. The light reached towards the clouds. Spreading from the top of the beam a giant forcefield coming down trapping everypony in a full mile radius. Twilight continued to push magic into her field, pressurizing her magic resulting into anything that touched her forcefield, or anyponys magic that did so, would be stunned. What pushed her to lay down such a spell was fear, though it being fear she made it inescapable for Herobrine to break through. He was theirs.
"Luna, it won't matter how long it takes to find him now, he isn't going anywhere." Twilight stated smug.
"Good." Luna looked at her watch and saw it was night. "Twilight, when morning comes. Let's not alert Celestia of this for now. Let's get... him.. under control before we decide to show off our blue ribbons." Luna looked to Twilight.
"Alright, princess... but... I'm not sure if I should really have much more to do with this. I don't want to go against Celestia." Twilight explained.
"Alright, I'll take full responsibility for what is happening. We should have it all under control by morning. You may go home now Twilight." Luna smiled to Twilight.
"Alright princess, thank you." With that Twilight used what magic she had left to teleport to her oakwood dwelling to sleep the night off.
Twilight wouldn't know what was to come, until morning.

What's this? A room fully dedicated to enchanted bombs that on impact cause different conclusions varying the bomb's enchantment? I read the sign hanging over the door, then swiftly and as much giddy, entered the room.
Author's Note
Hey guys, this is my first story and as usual PLZ PLZ PLZ tell me how to be a better writer, OR... If I happen to be pleasing you as much as you expect to be pleased by me then you may drop a like and leave a positive comment! I will then love you for life. Tnku!!! :DDD
This may be fun, interesting enough indeed. I stepped further into the bomb filled storage space. The air was stale, dust around me. In front of me shelves mounted on the wall were occupied with what I assumed were grenades. In ancient times the leading race, the Craftians, used such explosive power as an advantage on the battle field. They were round, and all were painted red, with what I cannot tell. I stared at a symbol in front of me, it shown a pony gasping for air with green smoke floating all around the figure. To cruel. I kept looking. Explosive, Concussive Blast... Each grenade was fitted with a comically morbid figure of a pony suffering from the certain type of grenade.
I look to the corner of the room after grabbing two grenades that wore an emblem of a pony crippled on the floor seemingly from a loud noise. In the corner there laid a box filled to the brim with red sticks wearing long wicks hanging from the top of them. Bingo. Finally, something I was familiar with. This was going to be a fun game.

"Guards! I want every entry and exit heavily guarded, after we all have our positions move in and track down this creature! I want him alive. Once you have located the creature alert me with the buzz signal." I command strongly, giving orders to my officers. They nod and a flurry of activity emits through the whole castle. Thanking the Gods that Tia was a heavy sleeper. I readied myself and walked into the castle, prepared for this game of hide and seek to end.

I could feel the guards getting closer and closer, they were calling out where they were, signaling to each other. Each time moving in closer and closer around me. I ravished the hallways, the rooms, the corridors. Punching holes into the brick walls and sliding in pieces of dynamite. Swiftly lighting the wick with my magic, running away quickly, rinse, repeat. The wicks were rather long. I was guessing they were used for demolition and not combat. However they would still work if only provided a distraction for the guards as they had dins to snuff out the wicks of the dynamite. I raced on the cobblestone floors into the dining hall, and believe me, it was a piece of artwork. Crafted with the most skilled hands, or hooves, probably the whole kingdom. Hours of handiwork, on the tiniest of details. The walls, painted with gold and silver, blossomed with designs of flowers and stars and universes. Almost impossible to describe the beauty. Statues all around, looking as if they would take a lifetime to carve... and seconds to destroy.
I let out a malicious laugh. Echoing throughout the whole room, it's dome shaped ceiling carrying out my bellows of laughter throughout the castle. I planted a few sticks of dynamite into the statues of the glorified horses after I cut the wicks to be short. I sent a large shockwave in the whole room pulsing power as it bounced around the large room, as a large echo that cracked the crescent moon and sun symbols on the walls and ceiling to crumble down into dust.
"THERE IT IS! CHARGE!" The entry to the dining hall had a squad of about eight unicorns wielding iron spears, they came crashing after me. I looked about the room, and seeing my work was practically done, I dashed out a door which led to beautiful gardens outside. I felt the rushing power, I felt everything that was happening. I loved it all. I quickly raced through the garden, dodging all the bushes and plants as the thorns scraped against my body. In the distance I could hear the explosions and screams of agony. It was a lot to take in, it felt strange, good even. Through it all I began to understand more and more. Power seethed through my body. Without realizing it I was standing still, frozen. Suddenly a large body of weighted armor hit me from behind, taking me down to the ground. I felt the cold iron blade on the back of my neck.
"Don't move, I'll take your life." A voice laced with venom shot to my ears. This was too perfect, this was so good.
*LOOK BEHIND YOU*
"Wha-?" Confused with the power of my 'voice', the pure white stallion startled himself back a little bit, but just enough. I quickly brought my arm up to his horn, grabbing it harshly bringing the rest of his head down to the ground with frightening speeds. A sickening crunch and the stallion was out. I took the knife out of his hooves, and looked back towards the castle. As well as sensing the force field in front of me. I need to stop. A overpowering drowsiness taking me over, I fazed through the ground below me and fell through the ground. I felt the darkness around me, the only thing comforting me was the cold. I peacefully partook in sleep.

"Princess, explosions lead to the dining hall, we believe he has escaped into the garden." A well fashioned guard reported to her princess.
"Officer Night Shine, block off the garden with all of our shadow elites. Rouse up Celestia and the royal guard, I fear we may need a hoof with something such as this."
"Yes princess." With that Night Shine flew off to carry out her commander's wishes.
Princess Luna looked up to the night sky, and once again lit her horn with a powerful spell, focusing all her will searching for anything out of the ordinary.
"Bloody foals.." Nothing was out of the ordinary. After her third time using the spell, she knew now this was something far out of the blue. Knowing of the fight ahead, she went into the armory to equip herself for what was to come.
Inside the armory there were two royal blacksmiths for which forged the best iron, gold, silver, and bronze in all the kingdom. Two humble and scruffy looking ponies, Anvil and Hammer. They were the princesses personal outfitters when it came down to the dark age arts.
"So. What may I do for ya' Princess?" Anvil with a sly face asked Luna. He wore a leather apron and a rather crude helmet, or rather, metal hat. The hat resembled a fedora, yet it was forged from copper.
"I need a full suit of gold, if I may ask. I'll put the feather spell on it myself, you won't have to worry about anything besides making it." Luna recommended graciously.
"That'll be eleven thousand bits! Thank ya' for your purchase." Hammer piped up from behind the counter, holding a clip board seemingly calculating numbers. Though he was instead sketching Luna's figure.
"Of course." Luna replied. Even so they were her personal smiths, they still did business as any other blacksmith would. Every suit of armor was crafted upon request, and would be custom. It would take any other skilled pony three days to create such fine works of art. Though it merely took Anvil and Hammer a couple of minutes. Watching them blaze the metal and take it out of the fire, forming it and put it back into the fire again was like a fine dance. They seemed to be blessed by Gods greater than Celestia and Luna themselves, to be able to possess such a great gift.
They both worked in sync to each others thoughts, crafting small pieces of the armor at a time and placing them onto a Luna shaped mannequin, finding the right form and shape. Their strong muscles bulged and they hit the red hot metal with all their strength, pounding the soft gold into shapes. "So it's going to be a magical duel I'm guessing?" Anvil asked Luna. Attempting small talk
"Is there any other way to duel?." Luna coyly replied, "With this armor it will be hard for my enemy's magic to break through." She said with a competitive grin.
"Well, you do look your best in gold if I do say so myself." Hammer stated rather sheepishly, a hint of red on his dark grey coat.
Luna snickered. "Oh well look who's bashful today!" Luna replied batting her eyelashes jokingly at Hammer, only making him more flustered.
"Well, your armor is ready, get it while it's hot!" Anvil announced to Luna, who looked impressed with the outcome. With beautiful gold the armor was fitted onto the mannequin with the contrast of red colored led lining the gold.
"Indeed, though, maybe I will wait a couple of minutes." Luna said while gazing at the beautiful yet still steaming hot armor. That was one beat up mannequin...
"Ah, princess! Speaking of the fight and all, whom are you facing? All I keep hearing is some nonsense about a creature. I've heard the explosions, it's quite the mischievous type of fellow eh'?" Hammer confronted Luna, curious about the subject
"It's actually, something more. Or should I say, someone. The creature is what I know a human. A sentient being. Indeed I say he has a tall standing figure. He can control magic of what I can tell through his eyes. Whenever they start glowing, it's the same as if my horn would be glowing. His power is greater than many unicorns I have ever seen. It may even match my own, but I am going to stop him. He will be brought to justice." Luna says with a serious tone, a determined look in her eyes.
"We will do anything we can to aid you princess." Anvil reassured her. A solemn look on his face.
"I know you will." Luna replied with a soft smile gracing her lips.
Luna waited as they chatted for a some time. Luna enjoyed the talk she was having with her friends. There, in the moment, was no pressure. Merely talking as her worries were almost forgotten. Though as soon as the armor cooled she went inside a small area for changing, and equipped herself with her heavy gold suit. Luna sent power into her horn, weaving a spell that would carry the weight of any burden. She poured her weaved magic into her armor making it light as a feather. While wearing the armor a drastic change was felt, she stood up taller, straighter. Gazing at herself in the mirror she admired once more the handiwork of her smiths. No, even greater. Her friends. She respected them greatly, and was glad they were there for her. With a friendly goodbye she left the armory and went to see if Celestia was ready.
"Celestia, shall we begin?" Luna asked a rather disgruntled Celestia. For she was dressed in the same attire as Luna, though she wore silver plating that seemed to glow a burning sensation.
"Yes sister, let us get on with it. I have been informed, let us kick rump." Luna nods to Celestia and they march off to the gardens. Luna chuckling by her side.
