i walked over to twilights house to go learn some new spells. before i got there though, i bumped into pinkie, "oh great" i thought."yes pinkie? what is it?" i asked pinkie pie."oh nothing! i just wondered if you wanted to go to sugarcube corner for a delicious cupcake!!!"OH GAWD NO, NOT THIS" i thought ."why you looking surprised aeris?" pinkie asked in her regular voice. "oh... umm.... nothing.... lets go now" i answered. as soon as i got to sugar cube corner, i saw that there were some cupcakes that had rainbow frosting on them and my jaw dropped in horror."whats wrong?" pinkie asked. "do you mind telling me how you made rainbow frosting?" i asked. "oh, i just got the right colors and mixed them all up!" pinkie replied. "with what?" i asked. "frosting you silly!" pinkie replied. "what was the frosting made of?" i asked. "i dunno. mr and mrs cake made it for me!" pinkie replied. "wheres rainbow dash?" i asked. "she's at somewhere, doing something!" she replied. "do you mind if i check downstairs?" i asked. "why so aeris? do you think there might be some super-duper scary monsters down there!!!" pinkie replied. "are you making up excuses?" i said. "excuses for what?" pinkie replied. man, this is hard. i stopped talking and ran to the basement door but got stopped by a pink blur stepping on top of the hatch leading to the basement. i didnt know the levitation spell quite yet, so i tried getting her off of it. "hey pinkie, is that oven over there, is that light suppose to be flashing red?" i said. "yes! that means its done heating up!!" she replied. it worked and i opened the basement door to see that it was pitch black. i found a light switch and turned it on, just to see there is a bunch of disgusting, wet, dried up, frosting ingredients. (haha, i got you there didnt i?) "oh no! not the vanilla extract!!" pinkie said as she was running to the broken vanilla extract bottles, screaming "WHY!!!" over and over again like in those romance movies when someone dies."oookkk....... pinkie, im going to go to twilights house now. GOTTAGOSEEYOULATERBYE!!!!" i said as i ran out of pinkies house and towards twilights place.

i got to twilights house and knocked on her door and when i did that, i heard some expected crashes coming from inside. i expected spike to come and answer the door, but twilight answered it instead. i saw that there was a pile of books, which i assumed spike was under, and then twilight invited me in the door. "so why are you here tonight aeris?" twi' asked. "oh, i just wanted to learn a few spells, make this horn on my head useful." i said. "oh, ok, lets start with a simple levitation spell" twi' said. +----(10 minutes later)----+  "ok, i got all this set-up and ready to go!" spike said. there was three tables in front of me, all of them small and high, about a half a foot in radius, and two and a half feet tall. all of them had vase's on top of them which i assumed i had to pick up with the levitation spell. the tables were in the ranges of close, far, and farther. "ok, you ready aeris!" twi' said excitedly. "yes si- i mean ma'am!" i said. twilight giggled a bit, but quickly regained perfect posture. "ready! aim! levitate!" twilight said. i tried the first one, without ease, then the second one, again, without ease, then the last one, with the tiniest bit of difficulty. "your a natural aeris!" twilight said. i kinda lost focus their and accidentally dropped the last vase. "sorry!" i said. "oh dont worry, i'll fix it up in seconds" twilight said with her "i know what im doing" voice. she fixed it up literally in seconds. looked like it was brand new! "oh hey twilight, the princess taught me a spell that can tear through unicorns 'magical grab'. i think its pretty cool, it saved my life when*shudder* all those unicorns chased me" i said glaring at twilight a little. "hehe...." twilight said, embarrassed. "lets see if your speaking the truth." twi said. i suddenly got lifted up in the air by a purple aura, and then i used my spell to cut it open.. twilights jaw dropped when i did that. then she lifted me up again..... and again...... and again..... and again.......+----(5 minutes later)----+ "wow, you weren't kidding when you said you can break through fields" twilight said. she looked pretty tired, so i said my goodbyes and left. i went to go fly towards rainbow dashs house because it was what it seemed like midnight and i was tired. very. tired. but the most unexpected thing happened, i fell asleep in midair.

(listen to this it really puts on the mood of this part of the story)

i woke up to a new sight and i had no idea what happened, how i got here, or what this place even is. it looked REALLY old, the windows were broken, the ceiling was almost completely torn off, and nopony was in sight. the place looked like it was made of rock or a cement like substance. i heard nothing except the wind. it was a little bit foggy, and...... a shadow in the fog was there. i ran towards it, but it ran to, i didnt get a good look at the color nor who it was. i finally caught up to him or her. but when i started to ask where i was, the shadow just vanished. not like a magical vanish, but a mysteriously just went *poof*. i thought i was seeing things, but when i turned around, i saw a glowing piece of rock. i picked it up and it just glowed there. i also saw some fire where a big drag mark, about the width of the glowing rock, marked in the ground. it wasnt next to where the rock was, but it was the same size. i started looking around to see if i recognized the area i was in just a little bit. the fog started to fog up more intensely, and more and more until i couldn't see three feet in front of me. i started to worry about what was going on, then, i went into-what seemed like- limbo........  (listen to music until end. its awesome) Next Chapter: chapter 8: dark magic part two Estimated time remaining: 8 Minutes
