Summer looked on in awe as the scenery shifted so suddenly around her – nearly making her choke on the last bite of her sandwich - allowing a small gasp to leave her muzzle. “Ooooh. That’s so neat!” she squealed, both head and eyes darting around to take in her new surroundings. The blue-maned earth pony didn’t really care about candy right now; after all, natural grown rock candy wasn’t the good stuff. It was usually horrible. She continued to make sounds in awe as she darted all around in a frenzied state of exploration. She paused after a few seconds to look out of the cave at the young writer’s request, only to get a glimpse of the deeply upsetting scene filled with fire and horrific screams. Summer Joy teetered over the edge of the cave just next to Emily to get a better view, holding a hoof steadily above her eyes to block the intense sunlight, squinting as much as possible to try and find whatever she was meant to look at. “You think that candy thing you lost is down there?” she asked rather obliviously.

"Ah~~~ That is just lovely" Jacky coos looking down at the fire and the destruction. Even from this far away she could taste the fear of the city's population on the wind. "Hm.... a raid? Maybe a monster attack? Not a riot, though, definitely not a riot. Hmm... can't get a better lock from this far away..... Hmmm, well, whatever, shall we then?" Without waiting for the others she steps forward, growing a pair of large red butterfly wings on which she glides down towards the burning town, not exactly hiding her approach, but not purposefully drawing attention to herself either. |

Unsurprisingly, Emily was a little perplexed and somewhat horrified at the compassion of her companions. There were all of those people suffering in the blaze, and Jacky was just excited? Still, perhaps it would be a good idea to follow her example and get down there as soon as possible. The young writer felt that staying overly long here wouldn't be too wise. "Um...let's follow Jacky! I bet the Chrono Sphere is down there somewhere...come on!" Much less sure of herself thanks to the suffering in the distance, Emily ran as fast as she could to follow Jacky down to the burning town. When they had almost made it to the source of all the noise, the writer heard a distant thud in the air above her, followed by a thud of her own as she smacked against an invisible wall. From this distance, she could see that burned corpses littered the ground, contrasting against one shape moving towards them. she was cloaked in black, covering most of her features, but a lock of blonde hair managed to peak out of her hood. Emily watched as the pony shapes figure gingerly placed an object in front of them, heavily concealed in the same material the pony was. Before Emily could think to thank the pony, or ask it any questions, the apparition was gone, and all that was left was this item it had left. It seemed to be rather spherical, even beneath the cloak...spherical? With the same care that the delivery pony had used, the young mare unwrapped the package, revealing a light blue sphere, lightly glowing for all to see. A kind of white pattern flowed beneath its mists, sort of mesmerising in a way. "Maybe if I just...touch it?" Reaching a curious hoof forward, Emily yelped as the sphere sucked her in, leaving nought remaining for her companions to see. Nothing but the sphere. |

Emily shook herself, trying to stay awake. Something was wrong...very wrong. A kind of force, pulling at her very being, trying to suck her soul away into its depths... She opened her eyes, looking at the space around her, if it could be called space at all. It was a plane of never ending whiteness, dented in the middle by what seemed to be a dark fissure. "Turn around, kid." That voice...it was familiar. But the muscles wouldn't move, and her eyes couldn't see behind her. "Come on, get up!" The urgency didn't encourage her. So tired... "...I've got a carrot here that you can have." For just a moment, the bind that was holding Emily in place shattered as she flipped around, looking for the desired vegetable. "Hey, where's the carr-" What the young writer found behind her was much more interesting than any carrot, as loathe as she was to admit it. The familiar stripes, the odd earrings, and of course, the strange white cutie mark. "Ashara!" The zebra looked a lot worse than Emily remembered. It was as if she had gone many nights without sleeping, leaving her looking permanently weary. Still, upon Emily's exclamation, the zebra managed a slight smile. "Glad that you still remember me. It's been a long time..." "What? But it's only been a few days since I've seen you!" "For you, perhaps. Time is relative though, and nowhere will that be more evident than in this prison. It feels like I've been here all the days of my life, trapped in this white haze. It was getting so bad that I was starting to forget who I was..." "Well it's okay now! My friends and I will be able to get you out, then we can go back home, right?" Ashara had a very solemn look on her face as she shook her head. "It's too late for that, I'm afraid. I'm dying kid. As I was absorbed into the sphere, I realised that I was deceived into its true purpose. It's a device that could travel through time, but that was merely a by-product." Emily's teacher turned, pointing a shrivelled hoof at the fissure. "The dark crack...it's like nothing I've ever seen before. When I first came here, I had to examine it, reveal its secrets. The more I studied it, the more I began to know, and the more I lost. This sphere, the Chrono Sphere, it was designed by your ancestor to seal away something, someone. The nature of the sealed individual caused the sphere to gain powers of its own, enabling its use as a time travel device, at a price. Every time it was used, you would lose ten years of your life." It took a moment for Emily to soak all of this in. "And you've used it...?" "Too many times, far too many. The being within the sphere grows in power with each use, and after it has sucked enough life force away from the user, it will be able to break out again. This...it cannot be allowed to come to pass." Ashara rested a hoof on Emily's shoulder, looking straight into her eyes. "Emily, in a few moments, you'll be back in the burning city. When you get back, you need to kick the sphere as hard as you can. There might be a few side effects, but there is no other way around it. The sphere must be destroyed!" "But what about you?" "It's too late for me, kid. I've had my adventures, had my glory, and paid the dear price that came with it. I need you to correct my mistake, understand?" A stray tear began to form, but Emily dashed it away. This was too important. "Focus, Emily. Do you understand?" "...yes." The young writer jumped in alarm as a crackling sound echoed around the white plane. Either side of her, things were breaking down, becoming the same blackness as the abyss. While she was distracted, Ashara pressed a note into her hoofs. "Read the note when you've finished. Once you've found the answer, it will guide you the rest of the way." Emily yelled as the surface beneath her shattered like glass, reaching out to Ashara as she fell. The zebra gave a small bow. "Goodbye, Emily." |

Emily catapulted out of the sphere, making a very solid thudding sound as she struck the barren ground. She tried looking around for her friends, but they had all disappeared. The fires on the other side of the wall had died down completely, leaving a burned mess assaulting her eyes and her ears. For the first time since arriving, the infernal town was silent. There was nothing left, only ashes, shattered lives...and that godforsaken sphere. It seemed to have changed colour, becoming a bloody crimson red. Ashara was somewhere within, trapped beneath its depths...but there was also something else, a being that had struck fear in the zebra's heart. No no, you don't do it like that. If you want to plant carrots, you've got to treat them with care... Careful Emily! Just because I've left the cauldron cooking, doesn't mean you can touch it... I can't tell you about your parents, but I am not one of them. Your mother... The sphere...designed to seal away something... All the memories of Ashara streamed within her, like an unrelenting tide, but through it all, a single thought stayed strong. The Sphere must be destroyed! "...bye Ashara." With a might heave of her forelegs, Emily kicked the sphere as hard as she could, expecting a strong resistance. Instead, her hoofs went straight through the artefact, as if it was somehow hollow. Shards flew past the writer's face, dissolving as they separated from their whole. The scene around her began to smear, like a painting being smudged by its artist, until she couldn't even tell where she was anymore. "Time pony! Help!" |

As all around began to melt and wither, something heard the desperate grey mare. In a glow of blue and gold, a time pony stepped out, with beautiful butterfly wings that seemed to stretch to the horizon. The pony's eyes were much more mellow, more distant than her counterpart, speaking of many more years of experience. With a regal hoof, Century swooped Emily up onto whatever invisible platform she was standing on, letting the young writer catch her breath for a moment. "Who-" Century shook her head, resting a hoof on her lips. Silent, but for one word. "Where?" It was quite obvious what the time pony meant, despite her minuscule utterance. A good question, actually. Where in all the world would Emily want to go? Somewhere exciting, exotic, perhaps a little dangerous? Nah. "Take me to Penn, my author friend, please." Century gave a brisk nod, pointing her hoof towards an ocean blue portal. No more needed to be said, and no more would be. Feeling a sort of inner calm that she had direly needed after the problem with the Chrono Sphere, Emily jumped straight into the portal, anxious to tell Penn about her short adventure.
