Chapter 1

The Ruins

Darkness, darkness was all Twilight saw at first. A cold sensation all over her body. Looking around Twilight tried to move but couldn’t feel anything. Her body didn’t shiver, didn’t move and worst of all, Twilight couldn’t feel anything. “Hello!” Twilight yelled out, “HELLO! Please, anyone! Say something!” Twilight begged as she tried to move her hand, but nobody came. “No… no please. Someone! Anyone! I don’t like this!” Twilight shouted. Yet again nobody came. She tried to move a finger, her arm, her leg, anything. Nothing happened.

“Please anyone listening, help me! I fell!” Twilight yelled into the darkness, her mind getting colder. “This isn't happening! Why did this happen, why did I jump!” Twilight shouted now desperately trying to do anything. “I’m sorry! I’m so sorry, please help me!” Twilight yelled the darkness slowly becoming darker and darker. “I’m sorry…'' Twilight said. Slowly feeling the darkness cover her up Twilight could say or do anything.

“No…” Twilight said to herself. “No this isn’t right!” Twilight shouted. The darkness not backing away as Twilight only got angrier “NO! This isn’t how I die!” Twilight yelled out into the darkness. “I-I refuse!” Twilight yelled into the darkness. Though the darkness didn’t move away a light started to shine near Twilight. Her anger stopped her from realizing the small red light appearing. “I won’t die here! I can’t! I messed up but I won’t let one stupid choice kill me! You hear me!” Twilight shouted at the darkness. The red light slowly becomes brighter with each and every shout.

Along with every shot Twilight felt stronger, “I will not die! I will get up and get out of here!” Twilight shouted to the darkness. Her body slowly warmed up as the red light had almost brightened all around Twilight. “I am determined to get out here! You hear me! I AM DETERMINED!” Twilight shouted as the red light near Twilight let out a spark of light all around her.

Taken aback at the sudden flash of light Twilight looked down at the red light. “What was… that?” Twilight asked. What she saw next was confusing. She saw a red floating heart right infront of her. Though it felt familiar it also felt strange to her. Slowly reaching out for it Twilight hesitated at first but the heat of the heart brought her closer.

Upon grabbing it Twilight brought it closer to her heart and she smiled. “Hello?” Twilight asked, confused but happy at the warmth.

“You have to wake up…” a voice said right next to her head. Twilight jumped in fear as she pulled the heart closer to her and shined the light around. Not seeing anything Twilight was confused

Looking around in the darkness Twilight looked at the heart and then extended it trying to shine light in the darkness. “Hello? Is someone there?” Twilight asked, trying to find any sign of someone else.

Though the darkness seemed to absorb anything in its way, Twilight's red heart seemed to make the darkness back away. Looking around Twilight realized that the light slowly was returning. She started to feel warm again. She heard the bumping of a heart, her heart. Then she heard it, “wake up. You have to get up and stay determined!” The voice said as Twilight’s vision was flashed with a bright white light.

Twilight opened her eyes with a gasp. The world was sideways and blurry. Tiny Golden Flowers in front of her. A small reflection was shining the light from above her to her eyes. Feeling her body bruised and hurting, Twilight felt the flowers from beneath her. Slowly getting up Twilight reached for her glasses. Grabbing them and putting them on Twilight saw the giant crack they had. A little groan was released from Twilight's already tired body as she took a breath of air. The caves cool air entering her lungs. With a sigh she slowly let out all the air she just took in. “Where am I?” Twilight asked as she looked around and then up. “I-is that where I fell?” Twilight asked, shocked as the holes entrance was quite high up.

Shocked at her own survival, Twilight was soon reminded by her hurt body that not everything was fine. Her leg felt as if it was going to break beneath her any moment. Her arm was bleeding as her head was dizzy. Soon getting up Twilight started to stumble to her feet. “Where do I go? I can’t climb up and I don’t think I can get far with this leg… and who knows what happened to my body’s insides…” Twilight whispered to herself.

Still staring at the ceiling of the cave wall and toward the hole she fell from, Twilight looked down. “I doubt anyone saw where I was going…” Twilight said. Looking ahead, Twilight saw a little hallway. A bit surprised at the fact there would be a hallway with a nicely made pillar Twilight walked off the flower bed. Heading toward the hallway Twilight looked at the pillar. “These aren't natural formations. Someone made these pillars… but who.” Twilight thought as she leaned on one for support. Her leg reminds her of the fall with each step.

Wincing at the pain Twilight didn’t realize the next room was pitch black all except one single ray of light on a small dirt hill. Where a prominent Golden Flower stood. Stumbling into the room Twilight fell onto the ground as she breathed hard. “Ow… ow ow ow…” Twilight said as she stumbled back onto her feet and limped forward.

“HOWDY!” A sudden voice said to Twilight. Stopping in her tracks Twilight looked around. A spark of hope of knowing someone was there made Twilight smile.

“Hello? Is anyone there? I fell down the hole and I am hurt. Can you help me?” Twilight asked, her arm stinging a bit as she looked at the darkness around trying to see someone within it.

“Down here!” The voice shouted at Twilight. The voice was closer as Twilight looked at the floor, seeing the sunflower with a smiling face staring back at Twilight . For a second all that could be heard was the dripping of water onto the chilled cave floor. “Hi I’m-“ the flower started until Twilight yelled

Twilight's high pitched yell shocked the flower as he covered his ears. “O-okay then I can see you are a human child that… that fell and… and you're loud” started the flower as Twilight continued to yell.

Falling onto the ground Twilight stopped for a second as she winced at the pain. “You done?” The flower asked Its grin becoming forced.

“You're a talking flower! Did I die? Am I dead? Is this heaven or hell?” Twilight yelled out her fear rising as the Flower was growing tired of the conversation. “How can you talk!” Twilight said, trying to get on her feet again but couldn’t so she resorted to drag herself away.

“Shut up and listen!” the flower snapped as its expression became sharp and dead looking, Twilight froze in shock and closed her eyes afraid to get hit. ”As i was saying before you rudely interrupted me with that…*Ahem* loud yells. My name is Flowey, Flowey the flower. And you are a human child that has fallen from the surface into the underground.” Flowey started again not noticing her reaction. Twilight carefuly opened her eyes and looked around.

“Is this a dream?” Twilight asked as she looked at Flowey. Before Flowey could reply Twilight had seemed to have made up her own answer, “Yes it is. It has to be the only explanation! It is all a dream that a flower bed must have been the start of this crazy dream. Right i am still in the library at school right?” Twilight asked as she struggled to get up.

“Wow you are an idiot…” Flowey said as Twilight looked at him her expression turning sadden at the comment, “If this was a dream shouldn't your body not hurt? Or shouldn't you be able to see without those glasses? Seriously this isn't a dream bud now come here you seem like you could use a nice batch of friendliness pellets.” Flowey said with a smile as Twilight looked at him

“I- you… no it can't be real you're a talking flower and flowers don't talk. I must be in a vivid dream. Yeah a vivid dream just a really realistic vivid dream… it has to be that it just has to be.`` Twilight said in a whisper but loud enough for him to hear her.

“Hm, okay , let's do an experiment.” Flowey said calmly as he tried to make this easier for himself, at the mention of a experiment Twilight's face gleamed with excitement even if the pain stopped her from truly showing it all.

“Wait you want to do a experiment with me? What is this experiment about what and with what tools and are you going to be my partner? I never had a partner before. This will be exciting but does it count if this is a dream?” Twilight asked herself. Flower was about to respond, “Well i guess it wont matter because to me I got a partner!” Twilight cheered as Flowey looked at her with a confused surprise expression.

“Jeez you must have had alot of friends.” Flowey thought sarcastically to himself as he smiled at Twilight. “Y-yes we are going to… um give me a second… I can't quite remember. What was that last project you were doing?” Flowey asked as he tried to get information out of Twilight to make her believe him more.

Twilight smiled as she was excited to actually be asked what her project was, even if she belived it was in a dream. “Oh, since it's a dream you might not have all of my memories, well you see I was actually doing a project for the science fair, it was this whole complicated thing, Ow!” Twilight winced at her leg as she sat up. “As I was saying it was about time manipilation. The ability to move forward or back in time. Of course when i presented it…” Twilight trailed off as Flowey wasn't paying attention as he tried everything to hold his sinister smile back.

“Oh sorry i can't quite hear you, could you get closer?” Flowey asked innocently as his eyes darkened. Twilight slowly dragged herself toward Flowey. “Yes, a bit closer and then your soul is mine! My determination is rightfully returned to me.” Flowey thought to himself as Twilight stopped just out of Floweys reach. “Damn it!” Flowey mentally cursed himself as Twilight looked at her hands.

“…” Twilight was staring at the ground quietly thinking on the events of last week. Flowey thought something happened to her was about to call out her name. Twilight continued right before Flowey had the chance. “I was super close to figuring out the reason why it is possible but… I was missing one factor. I swear my machine was going to work but when I activated it it just popped. The power modules could have been incorrect but…” Twilight said as she looked down and to the side her vision away from Flowey.

“Come on just an inch closer!” Flowey thought, putting on a smile Flowey spoke, “Well why don't you talk about it? I mean it must be super important to you. Friend...” Flowey waited as Twilight turned her head and wiped a tear she had on her face.

Smiling at her new “Friend” Twilight smirked. “Friend? You consider me as a friend?” Twilight asked the flower. Whom moved his peteled full head up and down. Twilight wiped her tears and smiled at Flowey. “You know… you are actually one of the nicest things i have talked to in a while… I just wish this wasnt a dream. I dont have many friends. Or many good relationships.” the young Twilight said. Her hand unconsciously moving to her back as she rubbed it Flowey only stared and nodded.

“Well come give your good friend Flowey a hug!.” Flowey said with a nod moving his stems open to hug Twilight. Finally seeing Twilight scoot into his reach Flowey's smile went from pedal to pedal. “FINALLY!” Flowey slowly started to summon Twilight's soul out to a fight as Twilight didn't seem too noticed at first.

“Will I be able to see you again after this dream Flowey?” Twilight asked as she realized her red heart was showing again. “H-hey what are you doing!” Twilight shouted as she tried to grab it but then saw the world turn black and white for a second. She felt a sudden difference. On her soul Twilight saw various things, first she noticed the letters “LV'' on the top of her soul, it then said the number “1” right next to that. Under that there were the letters “HP'', next to the numbers was one green bar, the bar was missing a bit of color at the end. Under the bar Twilight saw the numbers “17/20”. Twilight looked around though she was trying to hold onto her red heart Twilight soon realized it only seemed to float in front of her. “F-Flowey what is going on?” Twilight asked as the flower tilted his head.

“Oh well you see that thing right there. Right in front of you… that is your soul, it's the very essence that makes you. Your SOUL starts off weak, but can grow strong if you gain a lot of LV.” Flowey explained, Twilight was about to ask a question trying to think of a way out but Flowey spoke first. “You must be wondering what LV stands for? Why, LOVE, of course. Ugh why am i explaining this to you? I plan to kill you and take it. So thank you Twilight for sharing your soul” Flowey finished as his expression turned into one of pure evil. “That soul seems pretty powerful too so if you don't mind i will be taking that and since you can't run or move THIS WILL BE EASY!” Flowey said.

Twilight was scared at first as Flowey enjoyed watching her fear. Soon a giggle left Twilight and soon laughed, “Alright Flowey you got me for a second there.” Twilight said as Flowey looked confused at the young girl. “ You almost made me believe this is all happening. Your expression, your ability to do that with “my soul” Good one.” Twilight said a bit hesitant as Flowey only looked at her with disbelief.

“You seriously think this is a dream? Here let me show you it's not.” Flowey said. Summoning a “friendliness” pellet. Tossing at Twilight, Flowey saw she wasn't even trying to move. “She really is an idiot!” Flowey said.

Twilight didn't move but watched the pellet fly toward her. Upon connection Twilight felt a pain within her as she coughed. Looking at her soul Twilight saw the green bar go almost all the way down as a strand of green still stood.Twilight looked at Flowey as her eyes watered, “This isn't a dream! This isn't a dream, SOMEONE HELP ME!” Twilight yelled trying to get anyone's help.

“Oh now this isn't a dream. I am glad i held back. I didnt want to kill you but i wanted to see you freak out and panic. You have no idea how fun it is to see your prey cower before you.” Flowey teased Twilight as he lifted his head. Friendliness pellets started to appear all around Twilight. Flowey couldn't help but to laugh at the expression Twilight wore.

“W-Why are you doing this Flowey? I thought we were friends!” Twilight said, Flowey looked at her for a second, then proceeded to laugh again. Twilight started to hear other voices laugh, voices of past bullies and past girls that would tease her. Her eyes started to water as she couldn’t do anything. She felt weak, she felt alone.

“Golly… you really are an idiot. Down here it’s kill or be killed!” Flowey said his face turned even eviler. Twilight saw the pellets starting to move to her. “Why would ANYONE pass up an opportunity like this? For what Friendship? HA. Pathetic. DIE”

Twilight closed her eyes, tears falling to the ground, “Somebody please… Help me…” Twilight said in a whisper. A sudden light appeared from behind Flowey as it got brighter. Before Flowey could turn to see what it was he felt a burning sensation on his back. The attack was hard enough to deroot Flowey but not enough to kill him. The Flower flew over Twilight's head, the friendliness pellets disappeared.

Opening her eyes Twilight was confused at first, “What a terrible creature, torturing such a poor, innocent youth... “ a caring voice spoke out in the darkness. Twilight looks up at the speaker of the voice. Taking a step forward Twilight was able to see them. Seeing a humanoid goat lady standing in the light. The goat lady was currently staring at the flower as it cowardly replanted itself and disappeared into the dirt. With a “Hmph” the goat lady turned to Twilight, her expression turning into one of kindness and caring, one a loving mother should always use. “S-sun?” the goat lady asked with fear and a shaken tone in her voice. The goat lady ran toward Twilight who tried to stumble away but couldn't get far. Before the goat lady got close she stopped and seemed to realize something. “Ah you're not… Please, do not be afraid, my child. I promise I won't harm you.”

The goat lady walked close to Twilight, trying to get away. Twilight winced at the pain all over her body, her Hp still at 1. The goat lady stopped in her place as she saw how Twilight's reactions were, “What a vial creature… ruining monster names, Please stay still, I can heal you. It looks like you're hurt.” The goat lady said. The goat lady sat down in front of Twilight and offered her hand.

Twilight looked at the hand and then toward the goat lady. “Y-you might hurt me…How will i know you won't just kill me for my soul?” Twilight asked the goat lady. The lady sat there in stunned silence and smiled.

“My child, I promise I won't. Unlike other monsters I see no reason to kill humans for their souls. I would rather care and raise you and let you grow rather than hurt you.” The goat lady said with a gentle expression Twilight didn't seem to trust this goat lady as she tried to scoot away. Stopping in her place again the goat lady thought about how she could heal Twilight “What is your name my child? My name is Toriel, the caretaker of the ruins” Toriel said.

Twilight looked at Toriel and looked down for a few seconds. Twilight didn't speak or respond. Toriel was worried that Twilight might not have a voice or was damaged to the point of not having one . “I am Twilight… Twilight Sparkle.” Twilight said to Toriel. Though it was a small conversation Toriel smiled. With a nod Toriel looked at Twilight

“Twilight Sparkle, that is such a lovely name. So where are you from Twilight Sparkle?” Toriel asked, Twilight pushed her broken glasses up on her face looking up at the roof of the cave Twilight pointed to. Twilight didn't seem to notice Toriel getting a bit closer.

Lowering her hand to her side again Twilight took a deep breath in “I am from Canterlot city.. You might not know what that place is… it's on what you monsters call the surface…” Twilight explained to Toriel who nodded. Toriel slowly moved her hand toward Twilight's hand.

“Canterlot city? Hm, when I was on the surface it was once called Canterlot Kingdom.” Toriel said, this caught Twilights attention. Not seeing Toriel's hand get closer to her limped right arm Twilight had thought on what to ask Toriel first. Looking at Toriel, Twilight tilted her head.

“When you were on the surface? Wait then that means… How old are you?” Twilight asked Toriel who smiled

“My, my, you should never ask a lady her age you know?” Toriel said with a small chuckle, though Twilight was confused at first she remembered that sometimes some people don't like to talk about their age.

“Oh my gosh I am so sorry I didn't mean to… Well i did but it wasn't supposed to come out wrong I just am surprised that you were on the surface before the war. I mean we don't get taught much about the war nowadays but there are still books there.” Twilight said, reaching for Toriel's hand to try to keep her from leaving her alone in the dark. Toriel smiled at Twilight, first she smiled for being so kind to her. Secondly it's seemed that Twilight made it easier for Toriel to heal her.

With one breath Toriel focused her healing magic into Twilight's body. Within seconds the wounds that Twilight had just received from both the fall and Flowey had begun to mend itself. Twilight looked at her soul. The HP bar slowly filled up as the numbers rose with speed. Soon stopping at 20 out of 20. “W-what?” Twilight asked in surprise and shock. Looking at Toriel Twilight soon started to see the world become blurry. Reaching for her glasses Twilight removed them and started to carefully clean them not trying to get hurt by any broken glass. Looking at Toriel Twilight noticed her eyesight was better than ever. Her glasses dropped as it broke from the impact to the ground. Toriel smiled.

Before Twilight could ask anything Toriel waved her hands up “Tada.” Toriel said, Twilight still stunned in silence. “I took the liberty to heal you and your eyesight. I didn't know if that would be okay if you wish I could try to take it back… Just don't know if that would work.” Toriel explained, Twilight started to get up.

Tapping her left leg onto the ground Twilight was surprised that the pain was no longer there. Looking at Toriel, Twilight lifted her right arm, stretching it and moving it around as if to check for any pain. Once realizing that her leg and arm were healed, Twilight covered her left eye with her left hand. Her right eye being able to see to the other side of the room without her glasses as when before they were healed Twilight couldnt even see past her own arm length. Switching, Twilight was left in silence as she could still see the end of the room without the aid of glasses. “This…” Twilight started Toriel was quiet and worried for a second as Twilight turned to her. “This is amazing! How did you do this!” Twilight asked as she jumped toward Toriel and hugged her.

Surprised at the action, Toriel wasted no time to hold Twilight within her arms. Twilight felt the warmth of Toriel wrap around her. Toriel stopped herself from letting any tears out. “W-well It's my magic,” Toriel started as she slowly and gently pulled Twilight away. “We monsters have the ability to do magic. Some of us are able to use powerful attacks and abilities while others can heal and use other useful abilities, such as making fire or even summon weapons or items.” Toriel explained to Twilight who was listening to each and every word.

“So… the books were right? There was once magic in the world…” Twilight said with realization. Toriel nodded with a smile. “Can humans make magic… Well, that's not a bright question. It was humans that made the barriers. Right?” Twilight asked as Toriel chuckled softly and nodded

“As much as I would love to answer your question right now, I think we should head somewhere safer. So that you may rest and we may talk in peace.” Toriel said to Twilight. Putting her hand out for Twilight to grab Twilight stared at the hand and then back to the door way she entered from. Remembering the flower bed, and remembering the hole and how high it was, Twilight turned to toriel and placed her hand onto hers. Slowly the two walked out of the ruins room. Walking out Twilight looked at Toriel who looked down to her. Seeing her smile Twilight felt warm and returned it with a smile of her own
