Cadence and Twilight burst into a nightmare form of a study room. The two shut the door and quickly goes behind a bookshelf and pushes it in front of the door, barricading it. They manage to get away from Spawn but they knew that it will eventually find them. Twilight started looking around the other book shelves, levitating books out of their shelves and looking at their titles and then tossing them away groaning in frustration.
"Twilight, how do we get out of here? There are no windows anywhere." Cadence asked looking around the room worryingly.
"That's because we’re on the other side. This is our nightmare world. The only things that live amongst this world are demons called Queautzarizsatin, it means serpents of no hell. They were made as manifestations from the gods. These creatures are uncontrollable and are immune to both holy and sin powers as well as weapons." Twilight said while she was searching for the Samuel Biblium.
"So, that thing that had attacked us, was it part of those species?" Cadence asked, looking at Twilight shocked.
"Yes, its race was known as the Centimille. There are about five-hundred races amongst these species. That was the first of these creatures that we had just encountered." Twilight said finally finding the book.
Cadence suddenly jumps back startled after the barricaded door was hit on the other side. Backing away from the barricaded exit, she glanced at Twilight. "That thing is trying to break in, hurry up, Twilight." She said before looking back at the barricaded exit.
"I got it, quickly Cadence, stand next to me!" Twilight yelled preparing to cast a spell.
Cadence quickly runs by her side while still looking at the barricade silently praying to herself that it wouldn't break down. "Cadence, listen up closely, I'm going to try to get you out of here. I want you to-" Twilight was suddenly cut off when the barricade broke down causing her to lose her focus, accidently casting the spell. They both vanished out of the room leaving the Spawn alone. A white glowing eye appears from the ground sucking everything into its pupil. The Spawn was dragged into its dark hole along with the room and the light.
It was pitch black now. The only thing in this darkness was sound. Squeaking wheels were heard in the pitch black abyss along with the sound of breathing and doors opening. The darkness was soon cast away by light when the eyes of a viewer was looking up at the ceiling. There, pushing the cart the viewer was on was a large creepy man somewhere in his thirties. He had long blond messy hair and blue eyes and wore a black trench coat, green pants, and brown boats.
The man looked down and grinned as his prey lay upon the metal cart. "You're awake, good. Using that forbidden spell sure knocked you out. The spell...what was it called again?" The man asked, looking up ahead. "Oh yeah, that's right. It is called the Nethusxilis or in a translated version, the Outer Paralyzi Teleportanum Suxiesix. Long name, right? Anyway, the spell teleports you but leaves a black hole behind that lasts for twelve seconds. The spell is basically a get-out-of-jail kind of spell." He said as he was now waiting for his victim to respond.
His victim did not speak but only stared at his eerie features. The man's grin widens as he takes out a switchblade from his coat pocket. "My name is Genesis, I won't tell you where you are, but I'm sure you'll eventually find out soon enough." Genesis said, admiring his small knife in his hand. The steel plate blade's reflected an image of the figure strapped on the metal cart. It was Twilight Sparkle.
"Boy oh boy, the demons really don't like you. When they found out you came here they wanted to do nothing more but find and kill you. All for your soul of course, lollipop." Genesis said pushing the cart in an elevator. Pressing the down button behind him, he turned around letting his hands off the handle bar of the cart. He folded his hands together as he stared up at the ceiling humming a song. Twilight looks to her left and right notices how the walls in the elevator were completely made of barbed wires. Behind these sharp metal wires that disgusted her were walls made of pulsing red flesh leaking black liquid out of its puss like lumps. She saw moving faces and limbs within these disturbing walls.
When the elevator passed the first floor Twilight saw a beaten, bloodied up version of herself pinned in the red flesh with maggots eating away her eye sockets. Seeing this completely scared her. This had to be either a nightmare or a sign that she was dead. She hoped it wasn't either of those. She started struggling to get out her leather binds but was unsuccessful. The grinning man glanced at her and chuckled. He surely was taking pleasure of her struggle to get free.
"Damn it, let me go! I want to get out of here now!" She yelled trying to cast a spell, but she felt none of her magical energy working properly.
"Remember that letter you wrote when you were just a filly?" Genesis asked, causing the mare to freeze in shock.
Glancing at him slowly, Twilight was trying to figure out how this man knew so much about her. "H-h-how do you know about that letter?" She asked. Genesis turned around looking straight at her. He grabbed the handle bar of the cart as the elevator stopped on its designated floor and opened its doors. When he pulled her out of the elevator, he turned the cart around and began pushing it forward down a corridor. The doors on each side of the hall were left open and each room he passed by had hanging body bags leaking blood into filled buckets.
"Answer my question!" Twilight demanded.
Genesis didn't answer, still and remaining quiet, ignoring her. Twilight started hearing the sound of a young foal crying down the corridor in one of the rooms on the left side. "Who is that, who is crying?" She asked.
When the cart passed by the door, she gasped after seeing her mother and father holding a crying foal version on her. Shining Armor who was a colt was looking up at his parents smiling.
"Shining Armor, w-what is he doing there, what am I doing there, what the hell is going on?!" Twilight yelled in confusion. The events so far in this world were not clear to her. She couldn't understand it. What were these rooms supposed to show? What were they supposed to mean? She couldn't find the answer to this situation.
"Somepony, somebody, someone, or something explain to me what the FUCK is going on?!" She yelled hearing her voice echo across the dreadful looking hallway of death.
"Twilight Sparkle, I believe you know the answer to all those questions." Genesis said calmly with a dark tone. When he passed a room, Twilight looked in the room and saw a small purple filly that had a small glowing horn poking out her mane that looked similar to hers. This little filly was using magic to dissect a dead raven. Deep down in some part of her mind, she knew who that filly was in that empty room.
When she was far from the room, Twilight looked down across the hall and saw The Spawn crawling on the ceiling with its head twitching. The Spawn started screeching like a tape recorder being both, rewound and fast forwarded added along with the white noise. This hurt her ears and even made them bleed. The Spawn's head was twitching vibrantly. She opened her mouth wide and yelled in pain, but her voice wasn't loud enough to be heard.
Genesis closes his eyes and starts humming a song. He soon went past The Spawn ignoring Twilight's pain. The stinging noise soon stopped causing Twilight to stop her yelling. She was breathing heavily trying to regain her breath.
"I was wondering about that letter of yours. It was the letter that had your fate set. Soon you'll be free, lollipop." The eerie man said.
"W-what do you want with me, what have I done to you?" She asked, looking up at Genesis.
"Oh lollipop, you’ve done nothing wrong, I'm just doing this because it’s my job." He said, calmly staring straight ahead. "I'm simply the one you can call your grave digger."
"So, I'm dead, is that it, what about Cadence, is she okay?" Twilight asked becoming worried for herself and her friend.
"Maybe you are and maybe you aren't, beats me. Cadence, heh, maybe?" Genesis said, stopping the cart in front of an elevator. The doors opened up revealing nothing to be on the other side. "This is where we say goodbye and see you later." He whispered into her ear.
"Wait, there's no elevator there, I'll fall and die!" Twilight yelled, but seeing the sick psychotic grin upon this man's face she could tell he that he wasn't going to regret this.
"Don't worry; soon, you'll be free with the rest of them." He said before kicking the cart in which rolled into the empty elevator shaft. Genesis chuckled after he heard Twilight yell out his name.
'You're always on my mind, Illiad. I enjoy talking to you all the time because you listen to me and have a decent opinion about it. You're smart just like me and can read any kind of book within Celestia's level, just like me. You were truly somepony I've grown to want. "Want" is the strong emphasis as you can already tell. I was quite greedy and did whatever I can to get what I want. Knowledge is beauty amongst those with or without power. But that's only noticeable for those who are willing to sacrifice even their loved ones in order for them to gain this vast source of knowledge.
But as time grew longer, I soon realized that it was you that I not only wanted but wanted to love and be loved back. I love you, Illiad. I wish you were still alive, I wish you can hear me.'
-Twilight Sparkle.
This letter was by Twilight's side as she woke up back in her room that looked perfectly normal. "W-what, was that all a dream?" She wondered looking around for any unusual things in the room, exclude the letter by her side. When she looked down, the letter from her vanished and was replaced by the letter she took from Illiad's office. "Was that really a dream?"
"No."
Then suddenly Twilight's eyes shot open as she found herself in the center of a lobby starring up at Cadence who was pinned to a round metal table hanging from the ceiling. Behind her was a balcony where a large humanoid creature was wearing bloody butcher robes. There was a large cow skull on this creature that had four massive claws. This "Thing" was Faxilimis, the true executioner under Azazel's wings.
"What the hell is going on, what do you want with me? Leave me and her alone; leave us all the hell alone!" Twilight yelled.
"Twilight, Twilight, Twilight!" Cadence yelled out her name in need of help. But help was impossible; she was in the executioner's hands now. Faxilimis looked at her back and raised its top right claw. Twilight, HELP!" Her voice was muffled by the amount of blood that clogged her throat right after Faxilimis jabbed its sharp black claws at the center of her back.
"NO!" Twilight yelled holding her hoof out to Cadence in shock. Faxilimis pulled its claw out and looked at Twilight giving her a demonic roar.
Twilight collapsed to the ground on her rump. Her mane cast a shadow over her eyes as she looked down. "It's all my fault. I never should have put your life in danger. Because of me and my...sins, you and Shining Armor are dead," Twilight said to herself in a mournful tone. "But, that doesn't mean I'm going to sit here and wait for my death. No, I will die when I want to and I'm not dying now. This ends now, time to die you scumbag!"
Faxilimis roars jumping on to the ground. When it extended its arms wide, the demon roared at the lavender mare who was now in her sin state.
"My body is close to its breaking point if I continue using my magic in my sin mode. I better put an end to this once and for all." Twilight said charging up a spell. "But wait, maybe I could use that one spell Lord Samuel taught me, hopefully that'll work."
Faxilimis roars again and charges straight towards her with its claws scrapping the ground. Twilight's horn began glowing dark purple. A runic circle appeared behind her glowing purple. Small tendrils of purple energy start flowing out of the circle touching Twilight's horn. As Faxilimis pounces, Twilight launches her powerful spell causing the entire room to be covered in a massive bright light.
Twilight yelled as she woke up from the floor in her library. Looking around, everything was back to normal. Twilight quickly scanned for any illusions; gladly there weren’t any. She's never been this scared her entire life. As soon as she had gotten up from the ground, she vomited on to the wooden floor. She was starting to wonder if Cadence and Shining were actually dead, but deep down in her heart, she knew they were.
Twilight felt like her body was in a large amount of pain. She used too much magic during her realm run. She felt guilty of this terrible event. Shining, Cadence, and Illiad are all dead because of her "Wants" and "Needs" but even though their fates ended dreadfully, their memories wouldn't. She will remember them for her entire life. They all will be on her mind.
