Carefully trotting along with care, the nopony heard the footsteps grow louder and louder. He couldn't deny it anymore, he was being followed by something. He didn't know what it was, nor did he even care for figuring out who it was, he made a quick dash through the maze, hoping to find the exit. He soon came to a dead end. With his back against the wall, he knew he had to get ready for a brawl. Breathing heavily as he saw the shadow around the corner grow larger and larger, he shut his eyes and heard the sound of concrete rubbing against concrete (don't know how you would describe the noise of like a hidden spinning wall :3) and soon found himself sitting in a dining room. "Well, thank Luna for that hidden wall, I was nearly a gon-" he stops as he notices the other three ponies in the room. "Well what are you three doing here?" he asked the ponies.
Trollie Pie notices the arrival of the fourth pony into the room from what appeared to be a revolving secret door hidden in what was, well, plain sight. He unfurled his wings and began to flap them, blowing gusts of air towards the newcomer. "You look terrible." said Trollie Pie "Here, let me blow those bits of dust out of your furry coat and mane." After the other pony was clean, Trollie Pie set his wings back and resumed to talk to the two other ponies who he had met first. "So, about those cupcakes..."
"Mmmm, okay I guess we can help you find your cupcakes. You, that appeared, want to join us? My names Doodleman, this here is SilverWind."
"Hi.." the alicorn was feeling both worried and lost, she wanted to make it out alive, but first she had to defeat the enemy "what do we do now?" she asked
"I sujest we find a way to get to the tallest tower. The owner of the castle must be there, and probably your cupcakes are there too Trollie." He said while looking around for an exit
"okay, but i bet there are traps there, and i bet the cupcakes are lures, just saying" she replied, she started to wander until she noticed a gigantic painting with a terrified pony illustrated in it, until she heard the pony wail "Guys! Look at the painting!!" she dashed to it and saw the pony had disappeared, leaving the canvas empty she stared at the empty canvas, dumbstruck
Doodleman´s ears flickered when she said that. He looked at the empty canvas, "I guess its just the place trying to trick us."
"oh.. Okay" she went around the room, she saw a small teaspoon with words on it, she lifted it and went to the others to examine it "look at this spoon" she showed the teaspoon with writing engraved on it to them "it has words on it"
Trollie Pie walked over to the teaspoon and ate it like it was nothing more than a lollipop. "Mmmm~" he said. "Juicy."
Crimson heard talking in one of the other room's.he held his broken wing as he walked into the direction of the sound. "Strange,it's sound's like somepony said something about cupcake's"Crimson said as he was walking through the hallway. "Who ever they are,they sound like an ally". Crimson walked into the room,finding two allicorn's and a Pink Earth pony "Um...Hello...do any of you happen to know a docter around here" Crimson said while showing the other pony's his wing
Looking at Crimson, she did what she could do "wait there" focusing her magic, she managed to heal his wing "feel better?"
"Thank's,it's feel's brand new"Crimson said with a smile on his face."Ive mannaged to stay out of sight until now and my magic skills are not to great so i could not heal my self" "So,What bring's you here ?" Crimson Questioned
"we have to defeat this death god pony thingy" she answered him humbly, slowly she noticed her vision started getting blurry
Silver didn't answer him, what she knew was that there was someone trying to get into her mind, using all her effort to block it, she still couldn't stop it, whatever it was seemed to be draining the life out of her. in a hoarse voice she said "i don't know"
(Rather late, but mind if i join?) Starfall emerged from the hay to be greeted with a slap across the face by the rope as it falls onto him, Emitting an audiable curse as he realises his torch has been extinguished. Noticing the luminescent fungi, he picks up the rope and attaches it around the fungy, before tying the makeshift light to his right foreleg. "Well the itching's annoying, but at least it's not deadly to touch" Starfall muttered to himself, navigating through the twisting passages with the fungi, muttering to himself as much for the sake of staying sane as to mull over his thoughts. "All I came here to do was find out more about this death lord for my book, and now I'm stuck in this mess. When am i gonna learn not to always try and get stuff first hand?" Despite his angry mutterings, Starfall was actually rather pleased with this turn of events. Though he took joy in his writings, his life had admittedly been getting rather dull, though this was not quite the adventure he would have preferred, he'd take what he would get. Hearing heavy footfalls behind himself, Starfall turned ready to face his foe. "Alright I've had just about enough of this, stop hiding in the shadows and face me if you want, but I'm sick of your little game" The razor sharp indents of armor attached to his hooves slid out, ready to cut up the shadowy enemy. However as soon as he finished his sentence, chains crashed down from above, dragging him up before bringing a cage around him to prevent any movement from him. A dark and resounding voice seemed to come from both nowhere and everywhere, a menacing laugh accompanying it "But the games have only just begun". Before Starfall could even think of a reply he felt himself being dragged across the underground maze rapidly, exiting into the deadly castle before being dumped into a small chamber. The area's had flashed by so fast that Starfall's eyes were still spinning when he noticed that he could feel water below him. As his eyes allowed him to focus once again he noticed water pouring in from tiny slits in the walls, filling up the room. The only exit was a door made of some metal that clinked against the chains on Starfall as he slammed into it, failing to even scratch the door. Giving up on that pursuit, Starfall collapsed crying out for help, while the water slowly filled the room with its deadly slow trickle.
"You ok" Crimson said with worry thoward's Sliver."Sorry i did not tell you my name before,the name's Crimson Lionheart but you can call me Crimson. Ive heard rumor's about this place all the way from Canterlot.when this place is mentioned,everypony there looked like they just saw a ghost. So i came to see what all this is about and well.....Here iam" Crimson tryed to hide the fact that he flew into the magical aura that surounded the dark castle like a idiot and therefore nearly broke his wing. But he knew that something was up with Silver and he knew she needed help
