After many grueling weeks of travel, a very thoroughly exhausted cyan pegasus pushed a yellow figure on a cloud into the forbidden lands she was looking for. She slowly pushed Fluttershy along the ancient looking bridge with an interesting design choice of curved pillars going down from the bridge just to straighten out and support both the bridge and the previous pillar. Each pillar was made up of many different blocks shaped just right to form the unique and sturdy bridge Rainbow Dash now flew alongside.

Upon reaching the end of the bridge's path a part of the wall slid open for Rainbow to enter the massive building. once Rainbow had made her way through the doorway it slide shut behind her. Inside the door, there was a spiral ramp leading around a big chamber, at the bottom of the chamber was a shallow pool. Walking down would take Forever, thank goodness I can fly thought the prismatic pegasus, before taking off a bringing the cloud with her. At the bottom she settled down next to the pool of water and looked into the next room, only to flinch in surprise at the length of the next room and its contents.

The long room had giant statues along both sides. Not statue was exactly the same as another, there were some similar looking statues of serpents and two-legged beasts. At the end of the room was an altar of sorts, which Rainbow gladly pushed Fluttershy to just above the cold stone where she would be more comfortable, since pegasi are more comfortable on/in clouds than on the ground.

Once Rainbow had set down for a breath she heard a noise behind her, turning around she saw bipedal figures made of smoke clawing their way out of the ground and toward her. Realizing that if she did not stop them that they would hurt Fluttershy, she flew toward them with only the goal of protecting her friend in her mind.When she had crossed half the distance between her and the smoke creatures her element started to glow with a brilliant light that sent the beings of smoke retreating back to when the came from.

After they had left her element's glow dimmed until it was no more. Once the light from her element had diminished itself a strange voice made itself known to the cyan mare,"Thou doth not possess the ancient sword?," Rainbow could not understand the language she heard instead, the words translated themselves into her native language inside her head.

"What sword?... Wait! Are you the Dormin Twilight told me about? The one that can control the souls of the dead," Called out the confused and startled pegasus.

"Thou art correct we are the one known as Dormin."

"She sacrificed her life to save my own. Please, I need you to bring her back to me," Begged Rainbow Dash while looking up toward the pillar of light the voice seemed to come from.

"That ponies soul? Souls that are once lost cannot be reclaimed... is that not the law of mortals? With that necklace of yours, however... it may not be impossible"

"r...Really?," The blue pegasus had hope-filled eyes.

"That is of course, if thou manage to accomplish what We askest."

"What do I have to do?"

"Behold the idols that stand along the wall... Thou art to destroy all of them.," before Rainbow could charge toward the first idol the voice continued,"But those Idols cannot be destroyed by the mere hands of a mortal."

"What are hands?," interrupted the cyan mare.

"Umm, let's just say hooves, okay?"

"Sure, continue please."

"In this land, there exist colossi that are the incarnations of those idols. If thou defeat those colossi the idols shall fall."

"Okay. kill these creatures and I get my fillyhood friend back, easy."

"But head this, the price you pay may be heavy indeed."

"It does not matter! I will make up for my mistake!"

"Very well... Focus on your necklace...and head to the place where its light gathers...There, thou shalt find the colossi thou art to defeat.," This punny creature will die to the first colossusthought the entity knownas Dormin with amusment.

After Dormin finished talking to her Rainbow looked once more at Fluttershy's peaceful face. She stepped out side the Shrine(That was the best she could call it) and focused on her necklace, like Dormin had said to, only nothing happened. Recalling what had caused it to glow last time, she tried focusing on protecting her friends. Within seconds her element began to glow, as she turned different directions she noticed the beams of light came together in one direction, which she quickly took of in.

While Rainbow was heading toward the first colossus another was stepping out of the Shrine leaving Dormin with a sense of deja vu.

Author's Note

Where the sigils are and how much damage dealt with them will be based on normal difficulty.

I will try to keep these chapters coming out at good lengths.
