Fire, ashes and burnt corpses was all I could see as I walked down the path in front me.

Dread, anxiety, fear and loneliness. These are what I could feel the moment I took my first step. Continuing the trek, I would see what lied at the end.

Warmth, Dread and fear overwhelmed any other feeling I had, only serving to make me continue to the end.

“This...this is the one.” A voice, a voice that radiated power was heard all around me.

“He is weak. He won't stand a chance against them.” The voice said. I would retort but unable to do so as the fiery landscape changed around me.

A void, with paths identical to the one I walk. Looking at one of them, I saw myself looking at another path.

Walking along the path laid in front of me, seeing the area change again this time into a throne room with a giant in the middle looking down at me.

The giant wore only a large robe but his skin seemed to he made of pure diamond.

“Dark times are coming, Nephalem. Be ready for the one that plans this wants you. Do not allow yourself to be corrupted.” The Diamond Giant said before the area shifted again. This time, I was in a large fiery room with two armored ponies chained down. I felt a strange sense of familiarity towards the two. The one on the left wore dark scale armor and a large curved Greatsword on their back.

The other one wore arch angel robes and armor. The wings weren't showing and the sword on their back was covered in blood.

“You thought you were so clever, that you had outwitted us all.” A large voice said a large spider legged thing walked into view. One of it's legs passed through me like I wasn't there.

It walked up to the two armored ponies and un masked them, revealing both my mother and father badly bruised and bleeding. They looked countless years younger. Dad looked more demon while Mom wore Archangel armor.

“One by one, our brethren fell into your trap, but not me. I defy you! I now know the Black Soulstone is the key, and it shall be mine.” The large monster said as the walls around us crumbled down revealing an infinite army.of demons.

“Soon, my armies shall pour forth from the Shattered Mountain, ravaging this world and all hope of resistance. My minions will find the stone, wherever you choose to hide it. Then, at long last, Azmodan shall reign as the Prime Evil!” The demon shouted. I grabbed my head as I felt a massive headache.

Screaming was the only thing I could do, not from the pain, not from the demons but from both my parents being taken away as prisoners of war.

Ignoring the headache, I ran towards them as the area behind me started to fall apart. I looked back and saw that the land was crumbling, falling and shattering as a large red scaled arm pierced through the earth, then another before I could see the face of my doom, everything was darkening and I was soon scarred by a nightmarish being.

I woke up, screaming my lungs out. I tried to move but found that I was tied to the bed.

Speaking of beds, this isn't my bed and more importantly, this isn't my room. I'm in a hospital, why?

The door of the room slammed open and an alabaster blur zoomed in. Next thing I knew, my vision was white.

“Mommy’s here.” My mother repeated as I heard more ponies coming in. I tried to ask her to let go but my voice was muffled and throat was dry.

Once she finally pulled back, I saw that she looked like she's been through hell. Her mane was un kept, her clothes were dirty and her eyes were bloodshot.

“What happened?” I asked as I looked around, seeing Twilight, Scoots, Nyx and Dad surrounding my bed.

“After you came back through the mirror and went to bed, the next you wouldn't wake up and at first I thought you just wanted to sleep in but your room was boiling hot.” Twilight started to explain.

“Then she notified us and we arrived to check on you. When we opened the door to your room, everything inside was burnt and in the middle was you, screaming and thrashing around. We didn't know what was going on but after taking you here, you stopped generating heat.” Dad finished explaining.

“How long?” I kept my questions short, dry throat hurts like hell.

“Six days, you've been in a comatose for six whole days and your mother was by you the entire time.” Dad said. I quickly placed a hand on my head as my head started throbbing with pain.

I gestured for water and Mom got me a tray with a small cup and a large jug of water. I took the jug and gulped it all done.

After finishing the water, I placed the now empty jug on the tray. I then shook my head a bit, trying to regain feeling to my body.

“Wh-Who's Azmodan?” I asked both of them while Twilight, Scootaloo and Nyx were confused by the name.

“How do you know that name?” Dad asked me.

“Don't dodge the question. Who's Azmodan?” I asked again.

“None of your concern.” Dad said.

“It is. Siege of Bastion's Keep, Belial, answer the question. Who.is.Azmodan?” I asked a third time. Mom looked at me in shock, wondering how I knew these names.

“Tell me what you saw.” Mom said. I nodded and began to explain the six day long vision.

After a few minutes of explaining what I saw while in a coma. Mom and Dad looked worried, for me and for something else. Twilight was explaining to me what I missed while I was out. Nyx and Scootaloo both clung onto my arms only seconds later after my restraints were taken off.

I winced as another I felt another headache and heard a dark voice saying something about The Black Soulstone. I looked at both my parent and was about to ask if I could leave but the words that left my mouth weren't mine.

“The Soulstone, where is it?” That was my voice. Why can't I move!? I saw my arms move but that wasn't me, I'm not in control.

‘Of course you aren't. You're a puppet and I am the master.’ A voice said.

Who ever you are, get out of my body!

‘Silence, welp. When the Soulstone is in my possession, then you'll have your body back, for I will be free and then I'll take the High Heavens!’ It replied.

‘Fuck you! Get. Out. Of. My. Body, You CUNT!’ I don't know what I did but it worked.

‘What! N-no, no.’ Was all the voice said before it faded away. I then regained my body and was able to talk to my parents.

“How do you...never mind. The Soulstone isn't of your concern and its location can't be freely given.” Dad said to me.

“What?” I asked, confused on what he said. He looked at me in confusion before enveloping me in a dark fog.

“Breath in, I sense evil in you and I intent you cast it out.” I did as he said and breathed into the dark fog. Immediately afterwards, I felt the dark presence faid away.

“Tia, this is worse than we thought. He is planning something and our son is the key to his victory.” I heard Dad said as I was slowly losing consciousness again, feeling like I haven't slept in days. Mom looked at me and gave me a small smile before kissing my forehead.

“Sleep, my little warrior.” Was the last thing I heard before falling asleep.

Twilight Sparkle

Seeing that Shade was okay lifted a huge weight off my shoulders. I told Nyx and Scootaloo to wait out in the waiting room while I spoke with Celestia and Sombra.

“Who are talking about and why did you seem worried when Shade told you what he saw?” I asked them. They looked at each other and nodded before turning back to look at me.

“A being of Pure Evil, an incarnation of Terror and Fear and...my father, Diablo, The lord of Terror and Prime Evil.” Sombra said with venom.

“Diablo wanted nothing more than to use mortals as his playthings, torturing them with fear and to also destroy Heaven. Heaven is the afterlife that awaits those of pure hearts and my birthplace.” Celestia said.

“Allow me to truly introduce myself. I am Vokun Sunvaar, former Prince of Terror.” So-Vokun introduced himself with a small bow. He then looked at Shade with a sad look.

“If Celestia’s father showed Shade that vision, then dark times are coming and we need to be ready.” Vokun said before vanishing in a black fog. Celestia sat next to Shade, stroking his mane.

I sat on the left side then called out for Nyx and Scootaloo.
