The storys are gonna come out slowly. Some personal issues have suddenly popped up. Sorry if this one is low quality as well.

Chapter 7

I awake in the black void again. I rub my head as I stand back up. I faintly remember what happened now that I'm here.

"That was fun. Even if I didn't get to finish the job." They laugh. "Thanks for lending me your body."

I growl in frustration. "I didn't lend it to you. You forcefully took it."

"Well I did say I was giving you something to help. You accepted what I gave you which also gave me consent to take your body for a bit of a spin. Though I guess technically its my body too."

"But I didn't give you express permission to take it. No more pulling anything like that again."

"Fine." Their expression sours a bit as they take a lazy posture, but soon perk back up with a sharp toothed smile that reached ear to ear. "But in turn, you have to play my game. A little race of sorts. The goal is to either defeat me, which is impossible, or make it to the finish line, which I conveniently made to look like your little ring portals. My goal will be to kill you before you can reach it. Of course, you won't actually die, but each time you lose, I gain a little power to control your body. Each time we do this race, This terrain will change. From a complex maze of a building, to that green area you were 'stuck' in for awhile."

"Are you serious? You really think I'd play this game with those risks? No. Not happening. There's no telling what you'd do if you had control over my body." I stare at them defiantly. No way in hell am I agreeing to this.

"You don't have a choice. Ill kill you even if you don't play along. This isn't something you want to fail in." They smile menacingly at me as they stand face to face. I punch them square in the face which sends them flying back and bouncing off the ground a bit before slamming into the red staticky barrier. They slouch forward a bit.

"I'll tell you this since you won't remember anything once you wake up. This barrier, you created it. It keeps me in here trapped. If I win a certain amount of times, I can slip past and take control even if its for a few minutes. Each time my strength will build up until I can take your body for a bit of fun time. I may not have control for long but I promise I'll wreak havoc. Now, let the games begin!" They look up at me with a evil grin lunge at me.

Lilith wakes up yelling, "I wont let you...win...?" The first 4 words were loud and the last was quiet as she examined her surroundings to see that she was in a bed within a spacious room. Lilith held her head as she tried her best to recall what she was dreaming about but to no avail.

"I see you've awakened." Lilith looked up to see Celestia looking at her with slight concern. Lilith didn't notice or hear her come in. "Can you tell me what the last thing you remember is?" She asked as she sat at the side of the bed.

"Um...I remember talking to twilight about confronting an imposter. Nothing after. Wait, is she ok?" Celestia looks slightly concerned yet was relieve that Lilith couldn't remember being turned against.

"Yes. She's alright. Do you not remember the fight?" Lilith looked at her confused by her question. "You don't? That means that you weren't in control then. A relief but also troubling. Here." She presses her forehead to Lilith's and began replaying her memory to her.

Lilith was in shock at seeing herself fight. She couldn't believe she said something like that either. "D-did everyone hear me say that?"

"No. Just me. Not even twilight heard it. That said, you've been 'asleep' for a very long time."

"Why'd you say it like that?"

"During your sleep, you would occasionally wake up with violent outbursts and then pass back out. You never made it out of this room during these outbursts but was still worrying. I asked Luna if she could see anything in your dreams but said she couldn't see anything but a black void and a red wall of sorts. But that aside, I want you to go meet discord. He was reformed not too long ago. I'm hoping he can help you remember things. He should be somewhere near flutter shy's cottage."

"Alright then. I'll go talk to him."

I appear within the area of flutter shy's cottage. Looking around I don't see anything resembling how Celestia described him once. I head inside the cottage saying, "Flutte-" I look at the door when I open it and see a figure somewhat resembling discord plastered into the door like it was part of the design. Yet I can feel signs of life from it. I carefully tap its forehead and. . . nothing happens. Maybe my senses are of-

"Boo!" Discord jumps off the door and becomes 3d as he says that. I of course respond in kind with a scared scream as I jump back and slam into a wall. "Ooh. Looks like that hurt." He offers me a clawed hand. I take it as he helps me up. "You must be Lilith. I've heard so much about you." I watch as he suddenly gains giant ears resembling mine.

"Wow. Your magic feels different." It feels like its jumbled.

"Yes! I am a creature of chaos after all. So I hear you are having trouble with your memory. Celestia has asked me to help you unlock your memories." Suddenly I'm on a couch as he now sits in a swivel chair, wearing glasses while holding a clipboard like some kind of psychiatrist. He places a claw on my head and makes magic flow through me. It sends a shiver through my body as I feel something crumble. Then, I black out.
