A Demon's Deal

Twilight Sparkle, log number 107: I know I said in the begging of this log I said I would only post important updates and what I learned for the princess but I have officially decided that this is urgent.

“Twilight put away the stupid diary and help me look for a way out of this... place.” Rainbow whimpered.

“Rainbow I am looking for an exit. It is just that, I... this is important.” Twilight couldn't explain to Rainbow why she was writing in he log book. “And it is a log book! Not a diary.”

“Pfff, whatever egghead. I am gonna get a sky view.” Rainbow to flight, but Twilight noticed that she was struggling to keep her wings flapping.

Getting back to the log she took took her pen in hoof and when back to writing. We, Rainbow and I, have been trapped in what seems like an endless room... Well it started as a room. A board room of sorts, a simple everyday meeting room... kind of. The table was gigantic and the room seemed to be 4x its average size along with everything inside of it. We then traveled what I believed to be south. It has now been about 7 hours and the onset of hunger is dawning. I am worried about Rainbow, she had not eaten before we got here. Thanks to Derpy I had eaten today, not much but enough to keep me going. I am writing this because I fear we may not live through this. I figure, by a logical standpoint, we are stuck in some kind of spell that is far to high for my ability level to get rid of. I am just not good enough and without my books I cannot even figure out were to start. Rainbow cannot see this I do not want to worry her or cause her to panic. We still have a few days but I don't know how far we can travel if our current state keeps deteriorating at our current rate.

“Whatcha writing?” Rainbow said reading over Twilight's shoulder.

“NOTHING!” Twilight screamed in surprise as she slammed her log book shut. Her horn lit up and a purple aura surrounded the book. “You can read it when we get out of here okay?” The book disappeared leaving a few magic remains sparkling toward the ground.

“All I caught was something about getting out of here which I think is over that way.” Rainbow said pointing the direction they had been traveling the whole time. Rainbow had read farther than she let on. She had started to read very quickly after her stay in the hospital. She didn't want to worry Twilight, she knew her friend was more worried than she would ever let on. “There is like a doorway over there.” Twilight was about to ask an obvious question before Rainbow put her hoof roughly over her mouth. “It is on a wall... looking thing. I think it is the other side of the room.”

“I think... um... I hope...” Twilight got up and started walking to were Rainbow pointed.

“Twilight what were you gonna say?” After no response she chased down Twilight and walked next to her. “Are you okay?”

“I think so, I might know whats going on.” Twilight looked deep in thought and was staring off into space almost running into trees that seemed to move in her way. “I have a hunch but I don't know how it could have happened.”

Rainbow was wondering were this was coming from. Just seconds ago she thought they were going to die. But now with the chance for an exit she seemed to completely switch gears. Rainbow had not seen Twilight this deep in thought since her bout with time travel. “What do you think is doing this?” Rainbow wondered out loud.

“Not what, but who is doing this to us. I have my doubts because he couldn't have escaped without help. But I guess it isn't impossible.” Twilight when silent as they approached what looked like an obvious wall. It looked like whomever cast the spell on the rest of this place seemed to stop trying here. There was door a to the left of them that looked just like the door they had entered through.

“Well Twilight what do you think is behind the door? A giant monster? More of the same? A free wish from a genie?” Rainbow said jokingly trying to get her friend to talk.

Twilight's eye twitched in annoyance. Rainbow was not really helping the given situation. She had been to deep in thought about him that she didn't even think if this could actually be the exit. Judging by what they had just gone through this could very well be more of the same. The strange things they saw on the way defied the laws of physics. Tree were growing upside down and producing wax fruit, which Rainbow and Twilight found out the hard way. Statues of familiar ponies fell from the sky and kept slamming down all around them. The statues were never the same and always of somepony they hadn't seen as a statue yet. They were always adorned it strange outfits almost always in contrast with their personality. They didn't quite get the statues falling from the sky but Twilight noticed that water seemed to flow like normal. At least something was normal here in this... place they had stumbled upon.

Twilight held her hoof up to the door handle but Rainbow slapped it down. “Let me do it Twilight. Not to be mean but I am in better shape then you and can react faster to what ever happens when we open this door.” Rainbow boldly stepped in front of the door and carefully pushed it open. The door was well greased and maintained, which caused it to be silent. A gentle breeze blew past while the two ponies stood in the open doorway and looked around what they hoped was and exit.

Inside the room was a gargantuan chair that was facing against the far wall. Besides a 50 foot vaulted ceiling, overly sized chair, and a large viewing port like some kind of ship from a sci-fi movie this room looked almost normal. The room was not overtly big like the last one and Twilight and Rainbow both sighed in relief that they could see the other side of the room. But to their dismay there was not door on the not so far wall.

Twilight laid down on the ground and sighed deeply, tears begging to roll down her face making the most insignificant water marks on the floor. “I give up Rainbow. I can't take this we are going to die of starvation! I succumb to whatever caused this.” Twilight couldn't hold it back anymore. Her tears fell heavy on the ground. Spreading off into their own little pools of sorrow.

Rainbow didn't really know what to do. She wasn't the kind to hug it out but she had to something. “We will make it Twilight! Don't think like that.” Rainbow said confidently trying to convince herself more than her weeping friend. “We could try and break through a wall now that there is one. That shouldn't be to hard.” Rainbow said as she tried to think of something better.

“Don't break the walls! I really want to do that myself.” A very familiar voice said with obvious excitement.

Twilight stopped sobbing instantly and took an aggressive stance toward the big chair. With its back turned she couldn't see who was in it but she remembered the voice that came from it. “DISCORD!” Twilight yelled as her horn lit up like the flames of war. A blast of lightning shot from her horn blasting the chairs head rest in half. Two horns stood up like a sore thumb over the freshly revealed, and burnt, stuffing of the chair. One horn of goat, and one of dear, both causing the two ponies hearts to drop.

“Thank you for fixing the chair.” Discord chuckled to Twilight. “I just am so busy these days. Terrorizing all those little ponies down there on Equestria's surface. They just love it when I stop by. They all flee from me and the slow ones are at my mercy. So much fun.” Discord's chuckle evolved into laughed as he swiveled around to stare both ponies in the eye. “So you didn't get lost in my false forest? I wanted the outside to remind me of home and all of the chaotic things that came along with it.” The draconequus ceased his laughter and smiled at the two miniscule ponies. “Did you see the statues? I personally love them the most! So much work to make them.”

Twilight and Rainbow clenched their teeth in rage. They had been put through hours of impossible thing, to impossible thing, giving them both mind bending headaches. “Why the statues?” Twilight asked discord reluctantly. “You never really struck me as the art type. Well at least not art others could appreciate.”

Discord face swiftly changed from joy to annoyance. “My art isn't suppose to be enjoyed. It is suppose to make others upset and confused, to cause chaos.” Discord slid a grin between his glaring eyes. “Those statues on the other claw.” Discord raised his eyebrows. “Get it? Get it?” After no response he went back to his grin. “Eh, ponies these days. The statues are made of ponies.”

“I know that!” Rainbow growled at Discord. “I saw the ones of the Wonderbolts and I have to say your attention to detail is great. But besides the weird clothes you dressed them in why are they your favorite? They seem to normal and realistic.”

“That is the thing. Like I said before they are made of ponies.” The strange part pony, part many things creature looked at Rainbow Dash with a discriminating look. “Are you really that thick headed?”

Rainbow was frozen, not moving at. Her eyes began to twitch and her legs began to shake. A single lonely tear droplet rolled down her cheek and splashed on the ground, joining Twilight's sorrowful puddle in a depressing harmony. “I am going to kill you, you dirty rotten, low down killer!” Rainbow Dash bolted strait for Discord in her rage. Her hoof's making a sickening thud with every step. Discord snapped his fingers and like that Rainbow's legs were bound together with a thick rope that was in a knot with so many twists and turns even Discord could not look at it without his brain hurting. Rainbow slammed to the ground and slide just a few feet from Discord's chair.

“What an disturbing knot.” Discord proclaimed, complementing his work. “Now you are way to close for comfort.” Discord kicked Rainbow to twilight's hoofs with his powerful left goat leg. “You are both not welcome here and I would never make you into a statue. You are not worth keeping alive. Personally you are my least favorite ponies, not that I have a favorite, but you and your friends are the reason I was trapped for a second time in the same fashion all of you little ponies will eventually be trapped. Now get out of my sight you heathens I need to make my throne room and line it with the hapless ponies I have trapped.” Discord snapped once more and the ground beneath Twilight and Rainbow opened wide to reveal the tops of homes and the hard ground miles below. “Have a nice time without a parachute, arrivederci!”

Twilight's eyes widened as Discord quickly left her sight and the hole she and Rainbow had fallen through closed indefinitely. “Rainbow I need your help here!” Twilight yelled to Rainbow as they plummeted toward Ponyville.

Rainbow tried desperately to flap her wings but with every movement pain strobed through her body. Discord had kicked her in wing, no doubt on purpose to stop her from flying. “Twilight I don't think I can with legs bound like this.” Rainbow didn't tell Twilight about the blinding pain she felt as she continued to try and fly for her friends sake.

Right, Twilight thought in a panicked rush, *what spell do I know that can get us out of this. I am fatigued from the lack of food and the amount of energy I used up in my anger against Discord. What can I do!* Twilight closed her eyes and blocked out everything. She racked her mind and went over every spell she could remember. She opened her eyes and yelled at Rainbow to get ready to fly. Her horn glowed faintly, not bright like the other times she had used magic throughout the day. NO! Come on, just a little bit please! You can do it Twilight, for Rainbow. Her horn brightened and the rope around Rainbows legs dissipated as the two quickly approached the ground.

Rainbow spread her wings and stabled herself with her legs, feeling like someone had stuck a knife in her wing. She swooped under Twilight stopped their deadly descent seconds from impact with the unforgiving ground. Twilight's weight pressed on her causing her to fly even harder, making the pain unbearable. Rainbow flew as close as she could to the ground but was unable to slow down before her agonizing pain caused to her to drift out of consciousness sending both her and Twilight plummeting to the ground at a high speed.

Twilight let out a loud scream and braced for impact. The ponies were tossed around like rag dolls right in the middle of the newly desolate Ponyville. Twilight slammed her head against a wooden pull cart and was knocked unconscious. Both ponies laid in the middle of town. Both unconscious but alive for the time being.

    (That was the end of the chapter but I am going to add this little foot note at the end of it. Really I thank you all for reading up to this point and I have no plans of stopping before the story is finished.
