As Twilight talked to the crowed of ponies, Anon felt a strange sensation around the collar. He looked down to see a concentration of magic quickly building around the dial. Before he could react, the dial suddenly turned as all the lights on his collar lit up as a horrible sensation overtook him.

At that moment, his vibrant surroundings and the crowd of ponies he had been so nervous about dissolved into an oppressive black fog. Before him stretched an endless and colourless void, the air heavy and suffocating. A thick, clinging mist crept along the ground, coiling around his legs and soaking everything below his ankles in a chilling dampness. Each exhale produced a visible cloud in the frigid cold. "What the fuck!" Anon exclaimed, his voice echoing in all directions.

Even in this aggressive change of scenery. The humans still managed to collect their scattered thoughts. His brain clicked as his hand hurried to his neck. When Anon felt only the skin of his own body. He swallowed heavily.

"H̭͘ě̫l̝̑l̬͆o̩͌ ̞͝ã͎ḡ͇ą̇i̞͋ǹ̢ ̘̄H̝̿ṷ̊m̲̏ã͓n̳̓" A voice rose from the void in a smooth yet serrated tone, hungry yet satisfied. A chilling calmness wrapped around the echoing words.

Anon's breath hitched before he gritted his teeth tightly, threatening to bore into each other. "No, no, no, no." The human mumbled, each word getting louder. "How are you still here? Zecora was meant to evict your ass!" Anon exclaimed as he looked around the surrounding blackness once more.

It's calm demenour seemingly breaking at the mention of Zecora. There was a short silence before it spoke again.

Pride and confidence filled it's words.

"Seems I struck a nerve." The human started. "So she can't stop you, but actually, she absolutely can?" Anon asked, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

There was a long silence after the human spoke."͇̇H͍́ṁ͉m̟̆,̻̇ ̜̑h͂ͅo̪͝w̗̓ ̡͆d͙̊i̯̽ś͎a̙͗p͖͌p̞͐ȏ̞i̮̊n͕͘ţ̈́i͍̾n͓̅g̦͌.̥͠ ̨͂Y̳͑o̟̓u͉̚r̲̋ ̼͆f̜̈́ĕ̲a͈̓r̟̾ ͉̿ā̲ñ̗d͕̐ ̝͑c̹͝ǫ̃n̪̓f͚͌u̖͗s̤͂į͒o̢͗n̬̂ ̰̾h͎͂a͊ͅs̛͔ ̺̓a̝̒l̳̏l̥̈́ ͔̓b͎̉u̡̕ṯ͋ ̘̆v̤̏ȃ͖n̠̆i̭͠s̜͛ḧ̫e̪͂d̳͝"̹͋ The voice replied. It's endless echo quietening slightly.

Anon continued looking around, just waiting for this thing to show itself. "Yeah well, you chose a pretty shitty target if you wanted fear. There are only a few things that freak me out. And you ain't one of them." Anon stated as he quickly started to gain his confidence back.

The voice laughed in response, the human could physically feel the vibrations in his feet."̋ͅI̘̓ ̥̏d̹̈i͎͝d̳͠ ̰̑ṉ̌o̞̐t̟̆ ̣̽c͉̔h͉̒ơ̳ö͜s͎͛e͇͂ ̫̚y̖͋ò̟u̹͐ ̺͆H̘̃u͓͠m̮͌ạ́ṋ̎.͚̀"̲̅ It told him before chuckling slightly.

Anon's face frowned slightly. "Ok, so then answer me this. Why the fuck are you inside me?" He questioned. Trying to scan the fog for any resemblance of a face or anything shaped like a wolf.

The human did not have to see this creature for him to know it was grinning wildly. He could feel it.

Anon did not have to wait long for this 'proof' as just a few feet in front of him. The crawling mist began to swirl around itself as it rose from the ground. I gathered into a dense writhing mass, turning black like smoke. For a moment, it just hung there, shapeless and foreboding. Then, with a sudden violent motion, a spindly hand that was eerily human yet black as coal tore through the shifting smoke. The hand twitched violently as more mist gathered around the exposed appendage. The hand swiped away the shapeless smoke, revealing a humanoid figure made of a dense and constantly moving smoke. Its eyes were hollow apart from a bright-green pin prick. Its mouth filled with jagged black teeth, only visible from the sickening green light radiating from inside its mouth.

The creature took stumbled as it took a step forward. Its arms hung limp as its neck was cracked to the side. Anon stared at the creature, his eyes boring into his smoke like being.

But just as it finished speaking, its neck corrected itself with a horrific snap.

Before it could say anything else. Anon stepped forward, reeling his fist back before striking its face. The creature's head whipped back as a chuck of its face flew off, landing on the ground in a hefty squelch. The creature did not move for a few moments before it corrected its posture, facing Anon again as its face reformed.

The human stood up straight. "So why am I here?" He asked.

The creature's eerie grin grew.

Its hand snapped back as the floor nearby cracked. Seeming shaking the whole area. Anon could not see where or what was happening from the crawling mist, but his questions were answered when a large jagged slab of what looked like transparent black ice rose from the mist. Water dripped from it as it left the floor. It froze in the air, as if being held up by some unseen force before a hazed light seemed to flicker from the middle. It became more noticeable as it grew, stretching to the edges. The haze still remained but the longer the light moved around, it slowly became clearer. The human eyes widened as he realised what he was looking at. "This is-"

Author's Note

Hey all, as always, thanks for reading. Means a lot.

The cursed writing is back. Due to some issues last time I used it. I have avoided having any characters physically covering the letters. I hope this makes it easier to read without losing any of the impact. Please do let me know if you are having issues reading it, and I'll set some translations up.

I also wanted to say happy new years! I did make this a day late so I could post it on the first, but then computer issues happened, and now I am posting this 30m from the 2nd.

Anyway, please yell at me for any spelling or grammar mistakes and have a good year.

Peace.
