Cold

The Castle was run down and in ruins. Seems to have been here for countless years. After escaping the death trap of a bridge, I was less then ready for anything. Crazy how life will humble you in the most shit your pants ways. Finding what seems like the main entrance of the ruin castle. I put my hand on the handle of my snake combat knife. Not really seeing or sensing anything dangerous here. My steel toe boots clang on the stone floor broke widows and rusted armor stands line the walls.

"This place is a real shit hole." I say to myself, glass shards littering the floor. This place was like a maze and I'm pretty sure I'm lost. I then stumble upon the throne room. Entering in I look at the passed destruction here. It seems like a battle happened here. But no dried blood or skeletons so it might have been none lethal. I saw what remains of the thrones. Both sustained damage, either a slash or a burn. The two thrones had a symbol of a sun on the larger one. And the moon on the smaller one.

I believe Twilight told me about two princesses. Is this their old Castle? Or maybe this was their parents Castle. Either way this place might have answers to how to get home. Or maybe a minor that leads to home. I don't give a shit what is here as long as it could get me home. Walking out of the throne room I see spiral stairs leading up. Walking up the stairs I am honestly questioning my choices as these stairs could collapse. But that is all worth it as I must get home and get the job done. Reaching the top I all there is was a door. Wanting to look everywhere for an answer I open the and walk inside.

Walking up the fucking mountain of stairs I finally came across a wooden door. The door had a symbol of the moon. Same as the one of those thrones I saw. This might be a former leaders room. A leader would keep powerful artifacts with them. Maybe one of them could help me. Or could give me magical cancer, honestly would be better fate then those Timberwolves. Opening the door and stepping inside I sweep over the room. One to see if there is anything here that might rip out my throat. And to see if anything is out of the ordinary. But then again this place has magic. I would have to thing outside of my logic. Honestly makes me shiver at the thought that magic can fuck with my head. After all that shit has already gone through enough.

The bedroom itself was not anything to in awe about. That might have to do with the duct and overgrowth on the walls. There was a bed at the far end of the room opposite of the door. Next to the bed was a bookshelf that looked like it was on its last leg. Hell a light breeze could turn that bookshelf to splinters.

Stepping further into the room I pull out my snake combat knife. Something seem off about this room and I could feel it. I had experience with spirits in my home and work. And this place gives me the same feeling that something is here and dosen't want to be seen. The room was normal to and extant. But that feeling would just not go away. It seems that this spirit like to watch but doesn't want to be seen. Turning quickly to see a very dark shadow I stare at it.

"Spirit, show yourself I know your there." I normal just go for my rosary around my neck. But I doubt that it would do anything in this world. Suddenly the very shadow oozed out like a ink. It surrounded the space I was in and only the dust sun light was visible. The darkness was all around me but I did not waver after all darkness is something I am familiar with.

"How interesting." A female voice called out from the dark abyss. And soon enough two eyes the resembled snakes gazed at me. I stared back their blue eyes meeting mine. A toothy grin appeared in the abyss the teeth sharp. "No pony has every sensed me in this form." The face moved my eyes still on it as I fallow her with my eyes.

"Well I'm not a pony." I say with a deadpan look and voice. The face smiled more her eyes fixed on me.

"I can see that little worm." She says as she moves around in the black abyss. "But you are quiet the human." That caught my attention as she knew what I was so that mean she knows about my world.

"You know what I am, So that mean you know how to send me back." I point to her wanting her to listen at what I have to say. "You will tell me how to get back to my home. Because you don't fuck with a Cooly." As soon as those woods left my mouth her grin grew. A sinister laugh rang out through out the room and the abyss.

"You humans are always so entertaining to me." I don't know if I was seeing things but I think she wipe away tears. "Well then, a threat is nothing if not backed up by action." She seemed to back up in the very black abyss. I knew what she wanted me to do. I smile and and take her up on the challenge.

I looked at the face and staring at her I took the first step into the abyss. The second I stepped in the abyss I felt an overwhelming since of cold. I close my tightly as I smile deeply.

"Its so.... Comforting" I say in a breathe as the cold feels so nice. I have always loved the cold. After all I lived in gallup before I arrived here. And that place can get sweat your ass off hot. I reach my hand deep into the abyss. Dark tentacles raps around my fingers and arms. They seem to welcome me and I embrace them as well.

"How is this possible?" The face said as the abyss covered my entire body. Soon enough I felt normal with a slight cold breeze. "No normal pony can even step into the abyss let alone stand in it." I look toward her as she moved around looking at me with a confused and critical eye. I look at her as well wondering if she has the way back to my home.

"I'm only going to asked this once. Can you send me home or has the means to get me there?" The very dark abyss around us moves as I talked. It seems that maybe I could control the shadows. Although that is not high on my priorities. The face looks at me and smiles. That was when she decided to show herself fully.

She was a head taller than me with dark black fur. Her wings fluttered and then folded against her back. A long horn was a top her head and her razor sharp teeth continued to smile at me. She looks like a alicorn that twilight had told me about. But she said there was only three. And I don't think taillight mentioned this one in those three.

"Aw, you search for way back to your world." Her voice was low and almost seemed amused by my predicament. "I don't have the means to send to you home." I close my eyes and take a deep breath. I knew it wouldn't be that easy. "But I have the knowledge to whom that can bring you home."

"Where!?" I almost scream out the instant she finished saying that. It seems she liked that reaction as her grin grew.

"Eager? Aren't you~" She says her voice taking on a sister tone as well as one of unholy thoughts. I grip my fists ready to do anything for to get back home. "I will share this knowledge on one condition." Her grin grew as she took steps around me. Not taking my eyes off her I notice a moon symbol on her armor. I believe Twilight told me that it is a cutie mark. They wear it on their clothes as it there cutie mark is on their bodies. When I asked Twilight where on the body she blushed as changed the subject.

This 'cutie mark' was strange as it was one that twilight showed me. It was one of the princess cutie marks. I believe twilight told me it was Princess Lunas. But why would Princess Luna be here and in a old rotting castle in the middle of this death trap forest?

"I am Nightmare Moon, and I want you to be my Dark Knight." She stopped in front of me a sword in her hand. The swords guard was a half moon. She held the sword in a way that kings would when they are going to knight someone.

"What does being your 'Dark Knight' mean and can I have your word you will tell me who can send me home." I say as I realize that this was nightmare moon I have read about. Those days in the hospital were boring but those books help. Sure I had my phone but they would give it to me as they didn't trust it.

"I give you my word and the Princess of the Night!" Her voice boomed through the abyss and my options were limited. If there is even a chance that I have a way home the I must take the risk.

"I Chaz, Tino, Cooly kneel and pledge to be your Dark Knight." I get down to one knee hoping that I making the right choice.

"I knight you Sir, Chaz the dark Knight of Nightmare Moon." The sword was placed on both of shoulders. I then felt the abyss cling on to my very being. It seemed to cling to my very soul. Yet I didn't cry out in pain rather I smiled feeling the cold was so comforting. Suddenly the abyss disappeared and the setting sunlight came back into the room. But the feeling of the very abyss was still there. But I did mind that was when I got a name repeating itself in my mind. It sounded something like Discord.
