Every shade of grey was what any pony, pegasus and unicorn can see in the space they’re in. Lights mostly consists of torches on walls. The brick walls have no moist. Echoes of hooves thumping were the only sounds to let any pony know who’s coming.

Bright Tint shone her horn to light the dark area. She was at a dead end. She turned to the intersection and went the opposite direction of the one she took. A corpse of an unlucky pegaus landed in her path. She didn't have time to scream. She jump over it, stopped near a pit full of acid. She took a few steps back, just to get a running start. She charged forward and leaped across. She land on the other side feeling relieved.

Rez was being chased by a swarm of locusts. A pegasus named Jack Hammer threw a bucket of water. This gave Rez time to hide in a nearby hole. The swarm flew in another direction. Rez emerged from the ground. He checked to see if he was stung.

Another pegasus Purple Orchid, flew to Jack Hammer. They were high above the maze. They were trying to find an exit. They called to Rez and Bright. They pointed to where the exit is.The pegasi zoomed towards it. They bounced of by a force field, hit an electric field on the ceiling and hit the ground head first.

“Bright!” cried Rez.

He and Bright were close lovers they were separated when they were captured.

“Rez?” Bright called back.

The maze was massive. It was almost impssible to calculate the approximate area.

They called each other’s names a few more times. They were reunited at last. They embraced each other, they hadn’t seen each other for a long time.

“How much time do we have?” Bright asked.

“Not much time.” Rez stared at the analogue clock.

They had two minutes left. Unlike most clocks, the small hand goes backwards, while the gib hand goes forwards. The romans numerals were placed in different spots. The numbers 0 to 5 were placed in reverse order.

Two pegasi met the lovers. They interupted their reunion.

“We must break the Crystal Heart,” informed Purple Orchid.

They dodged swinging pendulums. They were going at a fast rate.Jackhammer and Purple Orchid helpe the unicorns avoiding them wihout ascratch. They stepped on bricks which were half-cemented, the kind of thing found in funhouses.

They leapt over spikes and fiery pits.They found a hole in the wall, each of them had to squeeze in it. Jackhammer was almost stuck,he forgot to fold his wings. Orchid pushed herself with force, she nerly mde he wall crumble. Rez inaled before entering. Bright saw the clock, only one minute and thirty seconds left. She shot through the hole and destroyed the wall.

They arrived at the Crystal Heart. There were cabled on fish hooks. The crystal itself was stong enough to hold something. None f them knew what exactly it was holding. They panted so hard, their throats hurt from all the shouting.

Bright and Rez tried to sing, their voices squealed. Purple Orchid and Jack Hammer did the same, their voices were worse. None of them new how to break the crystal, even if their voices weren’t hoarse.

The big hand on the clock reached the top. A loud gong echoed, indicating that time is up.

“We were so close!” exclaimed Rez.

“I can’t believe we’ll trapped forever.” Bright was worried that she held onto her lover.

“I feel like that whoever captured us didn’t want us to exist,” said Jackhammer.

All the lights dimmed down very fast. They feel a hardening on their bodies. It seeping throughtheir skin, enters their bloodstreams and lastly their bones. They slowly became paralyzed and everything the see dissappears.
