THIS. DROVE. ME. NUTS.
But, a certain somebody says re-upload it, and that person means the world to me. And im pretty sure i owe him an apollogy for having bawling-breakdown (albeit via steamchat) on him. Im so worn out, im going back to the doctors for tests on friday, she thinks i may have a lowered immune ssytem, also stress.
(copied form initial upload)
Srsly, it went coo-coo about halfway through when CS6 went what can only be described as "Noodle-doodle" and bezzed out, meaning i had to redo bits of it!
Luna and Sombra meet the creepy-asf(yay!)k residents of the other realm. AKA, the place where the thing attempting to take over the empire wormed its way out from. These were its last victims...
(i partly blame the Markiplier video of Nox Timore for these creepy buggers..)
Lunas wearing sombras cloak because the world thier in is freezing, and Sombra, hailing from a frozen village in the flank-end of NOWHERE, isnt as bothered by it, but hes concerned Luna will freeze....
Helpful fic excerpt:
Ahead of them a massive building loomed, it looked to be built of old weathered stone, although bricks showed through in patches. As far as they could see, with every other building blasted to rubble, it was the best way forward. A large archway led inside. The two ponies trod cautiously, Luna swore Sombra would be asking what that thudding sound was, as her heart was hammering away so loudly. Inside the building was even stranger. The high ceiling stretched up high above their heads. The windows were so clogged with dust and cobwebs the light they let in was thin at best, and the further they went in the less they could see. Luna focused her magic, and a second later a sharp blue glow lit the expansive room. And she let out an involuntary gasp, and Sombra swore softly.
They WEREN’T alone. Around them strange creatures stood. To the two ponies they resembled a stretched pony, if that pony had stood up on its hind legs. Creeping closer they seen instead of hooves, their forelegs ended in funny spindly things, as if the creature had stuck a spider on the end of a long leg. The hind legs bent at an odd angle. Its neck was all wrong, short and skinny. Its head was the final indicator what they were looking at wasn’t a pony. It was rounded, with a tiny nose, and eye sockets like saucers. An ugly grimace took place of a mouth, and from these orifices ran smears of a blackish sludge. Its skin was like plastic, and Sombra likened it to one of Rarity’s dress dummies, it had that same look. At its joints, cracks and fissures had formed, and a crystalline coating prevented them from moving very well at all. Sombra cast a fleeting glance at his injured leg. The pain had dulled a bit, but the same crystal rash was spreading further from the wound than ever...
"Sweet big sister!" Luna whispered.
Sombra turned his head slightly, and felt his insides freeze up. More had come out of the shadows, they were inching towards the pair. He noticed the taller ones heads were angled differently, that meant they were staring at-
"Princess!" he whispered sharply "it’s your magic, I think they can pick up on it, extinguish your light!"
"But how will we see?" she shot back.
"Let me try MINE," seeing her baffled look" please, I need you to trust me."
She nodded, switching her light off. A seconds worth of darkness before Sombra lit a small purple flame in the air above their heads, its slightly more muted light adding an extra layer of creepiness to the scene. Luna saw to her horror one of the spindly spider-hooves was on the verge of touching her mane. She shuddered and side stepped away from it. But she noticed the creatures gazes were now staring blankly up at the ceiling again.
"They crave the light," Sombra said softly "no matter how insubstantial.."
