(Warning! This fic is only dark due to the backstory. The main story won't exactly contain...much...darkness...Actually, ignore the dark tag. This is also my first attempt at making something properly dark, so excuse me if it seems a bit...out of order.)

Twilight has had enough. The existence of a cursed cemetary just on the outskirts of the Everfree forest is starting to annoy her. The worst part? Everypony says that there is a graveyard keeper called the "Shovel-Holder". To get to the bottom of this, Twilight decides to take Spike with her to that cemetary and get to the bottom of this growing legend.

However, what the young mare and dragon do not know is that there are some things in Equestria that should neither be explored nor tampered with. The tower in that cemetary, however, might be the end of the duo or might be their salvation.

That image comes from this fine chap here.
