     “SPIIIKE!” Twilight called, “WHERE ARE YOU SPIKE!”

    Twilight was tramping through a dark forest with nothing but the light of her own horn. She could barely see her hoof in front of her face. She was at risk by using magic. The presence of her aurora would attract the creatures of the Woods. Where am I? This was never in any of my books? How did I get here?

Thoughts were buzzing in her head. She wondered if she’d ever see her friends again. Would she ever be at another one of Pinkie’s parties? Would she ever watch Rainbow Dash become a wonderbolt? How about Rarity and Applejack? Would they ever get along? Would Fluttershy ever learn to be brave?

She kept moving at a pace between a trot and a gallop. She knew anything was possible, but she hoped the worst hadn’t happened. At last she came upon a clearing. The sky was dark and looked reddish, like a tinge of blood. The trees around her were shriveled and their roots poking out of the ground. They almost looked as if the faces of terrified ponies were merged into them. The soil was almost maroon in the light, the ground was marked with a symbol, a pentagram. It seemed as if the air air around her smelled of death.

A loud crash sounded behind her. She turned around to see what was there. A large scarlet creature appeared. With hideous serrated talons, it tried to swipe at Twilight. She deflected the swipe with a magic blast. She tried to drive it backwards with telekinesis, but it held its ground. She tried to fly above it, but she had injured her wing while falling into the woods from the rift.

The rift, she remembered. she was in the basement of the golden oak when she muttered an ancient incantation. She tried it to see the effects, but it took her to this place. Now Spike is missing and I don’t know if I’ll ever see Ponyville again. The beast struck her and she flew into the trees, unconscious.

She woke with a jolt, still in the forest. She saw a distant glowing in the clearing. That wasn’t there before. she thought to herself, what could it be? She trotted towards it. “AAAHHHHHH!” She screamed. Before her were the gored up remains of Spike the dragon.
