Long Forgotten History: Book One, Return of the Crystal King

                                 SOMBRA

           "So we're going on a ghost hunt?"

           "I thought it would just be us six."

           "I got nothing better to do." This tidbit of conversation happened just as we reached the castle, a hunt for ghosts in an old castle, Finally something more my line of expertise. Besides, I may find a clue for my amulet in here, and I really have nothing better to do.

          "Ooooooh," Pinkie Pie said, "Long time no see old ruins ol buddy ol pal." I will never get used to her antics.

          "He said that they saw the ghosts in the lower floors, so let's go down. once we reached the lower floors we spread out, looking about while Pinkie played an ominous piece of music on the organ, we looked around for two hours, we found some secret passageways, a lot of spiders and dust, and a couple of death traps, but no ghosts or for me, no amulet. "See? What did I say, no ghosts, now let's just get the books here and-

        "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

        We all turned to each other saying at once, "Pinkie!" We rushed over to the music room where we saw Pinkie staring open mouthed at the scene unfolding in front of her, as we looked where she was looking we joined her in open mouthed dumbfoundedness as we watched the scene unfold. They matched the description to the dot, one like a black hole, while the other seemed to be made of wind.

        The one made of wind turned and saw us, his eyes widened before he yelled "RUN!" and then all hell broke loose, all at once the dark one exploded into a million tendrils of darkness, all arking towards us before a gust of wind so strong it seemed like a hurricane had moved in, blowing the darkness away "I SAID RUN!" the light ghost yelled before he was surrounded by the tendrils of darkness.

        We ran. Screaming.

        "What the heck is going on?!" Twilight yelled above the winds

        "Well from what I saw I have good news and bad news, good is that one of the ghosts is on our side, bad news is that chances are, he's the weaker one."

        "But what are they?"

        "They're ghosts, a shade and a wisp to be exact... wait how do you not know this, I thought you were the smart one?!"

        "No one's ever seen a ghost before, much less recorded in all the history I know." There's been plenty of ghosts in the past, I thought. There's a whole category of different types of ghosts, something fishy is going on here.

        I didn't have much time to think about it, because just then the wall exploded behind us, once again revealing the fight "Isn't there any way to contain it?" Twilight asked "Since you seem to be an expert on all this."

        "They usually have some kind of source that amplifies its power, something like, like, that!" I said pointing to a spider with a weird back pattern, that almost seemed like a symbol. Quickly I shot it with a beam of magic,and  found my conclusions were right when the shade writhed in pain. "Kill any spiders you find, and do it quickly before were run out or killed!"

         We split up, each taking a different path to try to kill the spiders before the shade got us.

                                         PINKIE PIE

         "Weeeeeeeeeee!" I said jumping around the room, finding all the icky black spiders I could, when the wisp quite literally appeared out of the wind.

          "You seem quite bright, I must ask for your assistance."

          "Try twilight if you're interested in brains, i'm just your average 4th wall comedy pony."

          "You know?!" So I'm not crazy!" Anyways, going back to the speech, you have the brightness I need, not in magic, but in science."

           "Okie... doki...loki?" I said, following him as he guided me into a passage through a fake wall, leading me to a room with a... "Wooow."

           "Thank you, and I need you to help me complete it, unless you know someone else who could help me more."

           "How did you make this."

           "Great ponies, ants, and a thousand years of nothing to do besides wait for the shadow to come up and try to escape."

           "Speaking of which, WHY ARE YOU NOT FIGHTING HIM?" I said as I realized that he wasn't doing just that.

          "So many of the spiders have been killed that I can now hold it back just in the back of my mind, so no worries, so do you wanna help?"

          "HECK YEAH!"

                                     TWILIGHT SPARKLE

          Something here doesn'the add up, the fact that nothing has ever been brought up about ghosts and yet a colt who hasn't had contact in a 1000 years claims that plenty is known about it. I thought as I  squished another spider. On top of that this ghost hasn'the been seen ever since it's creation, meaning that something has been hiding them. Probably the latter, which means that they were wanting us to find other things like this, this may be the string that pulls back the curtain, exposing whatever is hidden underneath, or maybe just it's a crazy coincidence. Either way this is a revalation! But what happens next is what nobody but seers know.

          "Hey." A voice behind me said as I jumped 2 feet in the air and turned around "The shadow is no longer dangerous, here you go." The wisp said giving me a jar with the shadow inside. "I believe you can handle this." The once deadly shadow was now just a single tendrils of darkness, trying to break out of it's glass prison to no avail.

            "Any way to get rid of it?"

            "Try asking your ghost expert over there," He said pointing to Rei "He may know something."

            "Thank you for slowing him down, but why didn't you just kill the spiders before?" I thought, after all, if he had been battling this thing for a while he should have done it  before now.

             "Did your expert tell you?" Wisps can't touch living things." he said before gliding straight through me, while it sent a shiver down my spine he was right, I couldn't touch him or vice versa.

             "Okay, but then wouldn't the shadow not be dangerous either?"

             "If only, shadows can attack living things in exchange for having to have an anchor to keep them around."

              Then Rei stepped forward, saying "you seem familiar, do I know you?"

              "Well, I was-" He stopped, and they both stared at each other for a while before they both said "never mind." Witch caused my suspicious  meter to go from 'moderate' to 'somebody better have an explanation or they will be cooked medium well.' But since the wisp seemed good and he helped us I decided I would interrogate them later.

               "Would you like to stay at my castle?" We always have room." I said just to be polite, he probably  will go on a tangent about he just wants to return to-

               " Another castle to haunt?!" Hot dog let's go!"

               "What."
