The Breach

Chapter 2

'I have been looking for a way off this island every night.' Midnight's night form stated in his mind.

From what it seemed, the voice in his head (which he now recognized as his day form) excitedly said, 'Wait, you have been looking for a way off the island? Did you find one? And you still haven't answered me about the scars, where did they come from?'

Midnight began to get annoyed at this point and shouted in his mind 'I haven't found a way out yet because one, there is a barrier covering the top of the island, and two, SOMEPONY keeps tying me up every night! And the scars are from trying to find a way out I found a long time ago, which was near a quicksilver manticore den! Now if you don't mind, I'm going back to where I was last night, before I changed back to you.' And ran into the woods toward the spot where he had blasted the manticores off the island

The voice seemed to be a little stunned at this, and said quietly 'well sorry,' and went quiet.

The Breach energy did strange things to creatures on Evisica, normally; it just changed what they look like, or what material they are made of, like the quicksilver manticores, which lost their wings every night. However, with Midnight, it just gave him 2 personalities, the trees became mangled, red messes every night, and the grass and green plants went blue and hardened. The animals became killing machines, which is likely why the trees are red…

When midnight got to the area where he collapsed the previous night, he found something quite interesting; there was less of the Breaches energy here than anywhere else on the island, he then walked calmly, so as not to waste the little breach energy there was, to the spot where he actually found the manticores. He then bounded up the rocks, to find a hole that led almost straight down, the voice in his head said, 'Don't. You. Dare. I don't want to die just yet.'

Midnight scoffed at this, saying 'and you would rather live like this?'

'…fair point, continue' said the voice

Midnight then jumped down the hole, his hooves scraping the edge, so as not to fall to fast. 'Well,' he thought, 'it could be much, much worse.' As he descended, he noticed that a light was starting to appear farther ahead, and braced himself for impact, casting a fall-dampening spell, and hit the ground. The area around him was the bottom layer of Evisica! He was nearly free!

He ran to the edge, to see if this layer had a barrier around it, when he saw there was none, he prepared to jump off. Then, a large, black head hit him in the side, sending him back to the center area. As he looked around, trying to find what did it, he saw a terrible sight; a hydra had made this place its home, the breach energy caused it to become pure obsidian, and have at least 14 heads! Midnight saw this was an enemy he couldn't defeat easily, and cast an immobility spell at it, causing his horn to crack again. While the beast was immobilized, he ran up to it, and began to slowly push it towards the edge.

The beast was, due to its size, able to quickly overcome the immobility, and kicked Midnight Fury, puncturing his left fore-leg. Midnight came to a sudden realization: he could try to cast a imagination type magic, although he would break his horn even if it didn't work, as his horn glowed, the hydra began to run toward him. He then said, "May you find peace in hell." And the ground began to shake, the area under the hydra began to detach itself from the rest of the island, and floated out, and finally, it dropped into the sea below.

Once the spell was complete, his horn began to break, midnight poured the last of his magic into a spell to stop the bleeding in his leg, which caused half of his horn to shatter. The voice inside of his head said, 'you… you defeated a HYDRA? What kind of spell WAS that? I've never seen anything like it my whole life!'

Midnight, slowly said, 'that was an imagination type spell, its only true limit is how much magic you can channel at once, which for us, is very, very little. All I can do now is wait to change places with you, as we can't leave until tomorrow night.'

'Why is that?'

"I'm out of magic right now, that's why" Midnight said, and collapsed on the ground. He was slowly changing to his day mode, and the places of his consciousness switching with that of his day mode.

Once Midnight's day mode was in control, he walked over to the edge the hydra had been dropped from, and peered down. Below him he saw water a few miles below, and immediately understood what his night mode said; they can't leave with little magic energy or they would die when they land, and wished that there were another way down. The moment he thought this, his emblem (cutie mark) began to glow, and the crimson light which shone from it revealed something he hadn't noticed before: a strange metal platform, which wasn't actually touching Evisica, but was floating a few feet away.

As Midnight approached the platform, it began to respond to the light from his flank, and it began to whirr. After carefully testing that it won't fall, he stepped onto the strange device, and it began to whir even louder. Almost instantly, the platform began to move. The direction being the one midnight was facing, as he turned, so did it. When he realized this, he pointed it south-east and sped off. After a few minutes on the strange device, he began to see where he was headed, the mainland, and stopped it, quickly trying to find a good place to rest, the best he could find was an empty cave near the shore.

As soon as midnight's hooves left the strange device, it sped back the way it came, at a much faster speed than even the Pegasi were said to be capable of. Inside the cave midnight realized it was quite hot inside of it, but thought it would be colder farther in. After a few more sweaty minutes, midnight found something rather odd: a Black Cape, with a fireball shape sewn into the side of it. When he tried to pick it up to examine it, he burnt his hoof on it, this made him realize that the source of the heat was said cape. He then looked around for anything which could be of use, and found a sheathed dagger, some food, and a rather large jug of water. He took what he could carry, and packed it all into a bag, but before he could leave, he felt something hit the back of his neck, and all was black.

I only own my OC's, the quicksilver manticores, and the obsidian hydra. Also if anyone wants to see a pic of any of my OC's, you can email me at: Madman12435yahoo. From now on, I'm only going to submit one chapter per week, it's just I had to do at least a little bit more. So please review and comment.
