Books flew from the shelf as Spike frantically searched for the right book. Discord stood impatience as he waited for his friend. Spike looked through book after book, and just kept going. After a while, Spike finally settled on one book and sat it on the table. Discord saw that out of all the books in Twilight's castle library, he chose one that had the cover that read "The World Behind the World". He blew off the dust as he began to flip through the pages. Discord coughed as dust invaded his lungs. He could tell that nopony had used or even disturbed the book in quiet some time. As Spike slowly scanned through the pages, Discord continued to look at the books in on the shelves. He saw that were Spike was searching was listed under "supernatural". He was questioning why in a Equestria would Twilight have such a section in her personal library.

"Here it is," Spike said with relief.

Discord turned his head towards Spike.

"What, what did you find?" Discord walked over to Spike to answer his own question. As he approached the young dragon, Spike turned the book towards Discord. The page was old and clearly had lots of history contained in it. All the picture were black and white. The page showed a pony sleeping with an entity hovering over it. "What's this?" Discord said not really wanting to take the time to read it.

"It talks all about demonic dreams, and what they mean." Spike stared at Discord as he waited for a response. Discord twirled his hand to tell Spike to continue." Well it said that demonic dreams are a bad sign that a demon or a dark spirit has attached itself to you." Spike looked up at a confused and kinda annoyed Discord."What, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, it's just is that all you can tell me? Cause if that is then, thank you Captain Obvious."

"I never said I was done Discord. If you let me continue then I can tell you more." Spike looked up at Discord who still looked annoyed. " Well first I need you to tell me more about what happened to you."

Discord stood up and crossed his arms. "Well I told you I had a dream about a demonic house and then I went to that exact house. There, I was brutally attacked by demons and spirits and one of them chased me all the way here. I passed out because I was so tired from running. Does that sum its up?"

"I guess so. Well if that's the basics of it, then it's pretty simple. You're being haunted by a demon or some kinda of dark entity, but you already know that." Spike looked into Discord's disappointed eyes.

Discord started to pace as he got lost in deep thought."Well Okay ,so since you continue to avoid the obvious yet important question, I'll ask it. What do we do about it?"

"Well first," Spike said not liking Discord's attitude."I'm not avoiding anything, I'm just taking my time. And second, this is technically you, not me. There is no "we." I'm just helping you, Okay?" Discord noticed Spike's snooty attitude and didn't like it.

"Well if you haven't noticed, I don't have a lot of time right now!" Discord yelled.

"I know Discord. That's why I'm making sure I'm not missing any important details. There's no room for errors."

Discord calmed down as he knew Spike was right. Discord knew that he was just being impatient and that Spike was just trying to help him. He too had to be patient if he was going to get any answers to his million questions.

"OK OK, so what do we do now?" Discord said as he sat down next to Spike.

Spike thought about the question very carefully. He knew they had to do something about but he wasn't completely sure what to do. With not many options, he continued reading in search for an answer. He kept reading for several minuets as Discord impatiently sat next to him. After some time, Discord couldn't stand it any more, he just had to do something to stop himself from exploding. After about half an hour of flying around in castle, he finally hear the words he would have died for.

"OK, I know what we have to do." Spike said as he stood up.

"What, what do we do?" Discord began to fly back to Spike and fallow him.

Spike walked back into his room and began to clear make his bed."You see Discord we need to know exactly how you are connected to that house."

Discord wasn't quit sure what Spike was talking about. He wasn't connected to the house in anyway, or at least in any way he knew of. Though the more he thought about it the more he came to realize. While he was there everything seemed to happen in a well thought out plan. Silver Blitz seemed like she was trying to tell him a story. Maybe the story of what happened at that devilish house. Well whatever it was he still wanted to know so he could help her. That's when it hit him like a bullet. The golden phoenix, the one he promised to take. Where in Equestria was it, and did he still have it?

He began to frantically search if he still had it on him. He then realized that he didn't have pockets so there was no way he could have it. He then search around the room for it. He flipped the bed over and practically demolished the entire room. He really was really hoping that he didn't lose it at the house. Thinking back to it he realized that he must have dropped it at the house when he was attacked. He remembered when he took the phoenix the creature that looked like him but had large teeth and tentacles coming out of its back. It really did a number on him and surely there was no way he could have hung on to it.

"Discord, what in Equestria are you doing? Why are you destroying my room?" Spike's voice seemed to go in one of Discord's ears and right out the other with out being comprehended.

"Spike, where you the one who found me passed out?'

"Yeah why, what are you looking for?" Spike answered once again concerned for his friend.

"Did I have a golden phoenix with me that you found?" Even though Discord asked Spike, he didn't stop looking.

Spike thought back to the previous night as he tried to remember any golden phoenix. It didn't take long for him to remember. When Spike found Discord in the entrance of the castle, he had a golden phoenix in his paw. In fact, Discord was squeezing it so hard that Spike could see that he sliced right through his everything in his fingers. It had been wrapped up for the entire time Discord was awake. For some reason, Discord still didn't noticed, but compared to everything that was going on, that wasn't that weird to him. Spike actually remembered taking it and putting it up. He nor anypony had messed with it so he knew exactly where it was.

Spike left the room and left Discord in the room as he continued to demolish it. He walked all the way to the throne room where it lied. Spike went to one of the corners of the room, were a box sat. He looked through the box that was filled with junk and lots of useless stuff. He finally found the golden phoenix that was buried at the bottom of the box. He pulled out and instantly regretted it. As soon as he pulled it out, he too was introduced with a feeling that was too familiar with Discord. Spike felt scared and anxious for no reason at all. He suddenly felt like something wrong was about to happen. He even began to brace himself for well, something that was never coming. All of his senses heightened as he began to feel like he was being watched. He looked around and ducked as if he was trying to hide from a sniper. Then after about five minuets of useless bracing, he finally was hit by what he was bracing for. He heard a loud scream of pain echo throughout the castle.

He then freaked out and ran behind one of the thrones that sat in the center of the large room. He looked around as he continued to brace himself for the worse. However, the scream was shot out again, but this time it actually snapped Spike back into reality, well kinda. He could tell that it was Discord who was screaming, but he was still scared to death. He stared to run back to his room where Discord was, but it was harder than he had anticipated. It was as if he wasn't in the castle any more. The walls, the floor, and every corner was not of the castle. Spike felt as if he was traveling through Hell. He didn't belong there and he felt that every step he took might have been his last. He could hear screams and roars in the distance. He almost began to crawl as not to draw attention to himself.

He then got lost in all the screaming and in all the cries of terror. Suddenly he became dizzy, and flashes of fire and red winged creatures flew passed his face. More and more flashes began to fly past him, and at one time he saw a small glimpse of the hooded bull like creature that carried the darkness illuminating lantern. It continued to flash as Spike felt like he was on a super fast spinning ride surrounded by Hell. All of a sudden the images stopped and Spike found himself in the doorway of his room. He was confused beyond belief, as he had no idea what had happened to him. Though he didn't have much time to find out. Discord was in the room on the ground hugging his hand in pain.

"Discord, what just happened?" Spike said in a shaky voice.

He went over to Discord as he looked behind him still feeling eyes on him. Discord showed him his paw that was wrapped up and now was bleeding again.

"What is this?" Discord said as he continued to hug his had trying to numb the pain.

"Oh, well you see I found what you were looking for." Spike handed Discord the phoenix, and Discord took it with his talon."You were holding it when I found you. You were holding it so hard that you messed up your paw. Everything was hanging out if you paw. So you can't use it ....like at all. Your nerves and everything are completely messed up."

"Yeah, I can see that Captain Obvious." Discord's voice was practically a growl do to the enormous amount of pain he was experiences."Why didn't you tell me about this? Before I found out the hard way."

"Sorry, it was really the least of my concerns at that time. Plus, I was pretty sure you would easily find out for yourself. I don't know how it took you this long to figure out that you can't use your hand."

"Well, somehow it did." Discord continued to squeeze his hand as he stood up." I was trying to pick up your bed again and I tried to hold it with my paw. You can clearly see where that got me."

"You OK?' Spike said as he began to push his bed back in place.

"Yeah, I'm fine. It just hurts really bad."

As Spike continued to clean to destroyed room, Discord was relieved to see the phoenix. Some how after everything he went through he managed to hang on to it. Clearly, he held on to it with everything he had.Though at the moment he wasn't completely sure if it was all worth it.
