Occult Rising

Applespice headed home from the diner with a giant smile on his face. He was as happy as he'd ever been. Wind had actually kissed him. He made his way by Princess Twilight's castle when someone stepped out of the shadows and pinned him against the wall. It was a unicorn wearing completely black robes that were emblazoned with a blood red ram's skull. Applespice tried to kick free, but, this guy was stronger than he was.

"Listen closely, for I only say things once." The mysterious robed unicorn said.

"What was that? I didn't hear you." Applespice said.

The unicorn tightened his grip on Applespice's neck. He made a choking noise.

"Tell your little friend's dad that we are coming for him. The prophecy will be fulfilled. We will unleash disharmony." The figure said as he released Applespice and vanished in a cloud of smoke.

Applespice took off running towards Wind's house. He got to the house and began frantically ringing the doorbell. After a couple minutes, Jet answered the door with a sword drawn. When he saw Applespice, he lowered the blade and invited him in.

"What brings you by at this hour and why do you look like you've seen a ghost?" Jet asked as they all sat in the living room.

"Well, I was attacked by someone and they told me to deliver a message to you." Applespice said.

"A message? What kind of message?" Jet asked.

"Well, he said to tell you that they are coming for you, the prophecy will be fulfilled and disharmony will be unleashed." Applespice said.

"Who told you all this?" Jet asked.

"It was a unicorn in black robes with a red ram's skull on the front." Applespice relied.

Jet looked away for a minute before getting up and heading upstairs, looking angered. Dash looked after him with concern on her face.

"Maybe you should stay here for the night. It'll be safer that way." She said as she went to the hall closet and got out a blanket and a pillow.

She handed them to Applespice.

"Is everything alright? Did I do something wrong?" Applespice asked.

"No, you were right to tell us about all this. Thank you. Now, both of you, get some sleep. You've earned some rest." Dash said as she went after Jet.
