#1 of Blaze's Tales.

Sorry for the long wait on Scaly Heart Chapter 3, I have been super busy with school, and tests every week, but don't worry it's almost done, and will be posted soon. But I wanted to share this story I was saving for last Halloween, and decided to revise it. Hope you enjoy the more sad, than scary, scary tale.


"Dawn Felt the darkening madness seep into his mind the instant he turned on his watch, everything went silent, all he saw was the metallic glow of red facing the metal door that lead to the room...his destiny awaited him. Would this be the right way to lead to peace, or only beg the madness further into his mind?"

" He didn't know for sure, but it was worth a final rest. But what he didn't know was he was about to add the first chapter to what would he consider later on, to be that hope he was searching so desperately to find. "

The eight of them fell silent for the light blue coated stallion. Waiting for him to say more.

"But only that was just the start of it, you see when he entered that darkened room, everyone turned to see where the sudden estranged glow was coming from.

"They all began to scream, but to him their eyes were the only thing he could sense, such terrified eyes, and he didn't even do a thing."

"But suddenly, he saw a phantom of terror in his wake, and in his reaction of madness ,waved his hand violently onto the crowd, who was screaming and running around. From his reaction sparked a small wave of invisible energy that screeched around them all and unto the glass that separated him from his destiny."

"Then, as he lifted up his body and gently floated down, he saw her, his love, or was it just another phantom? But whatever she may be to him. it cracked the numbness of his heart and with that phantom making him react, he waved his hand. but right before he could, he heard something, something that he said once."

"That is when it went dark, and when he woke up, he was outside in a room, the walls were black, smooth black, and before him a lake with a wild and somehow angry blood red flame slowly floating at the black water's center spreading to his feet."

"He couldn't move it as it linked up his body around him like hungry snakes and dug into his chest.

Boy: "Stop!" The boy said about to attack as he was about to call on the watch's power. "Whatever caused his vision then sent his entire body in a dark wave and was suddenly holding the boy by his left wrist where the watch was banded. Then with his hold on his new target, looked at the boys eyes, those damned blue eyes."

The fire began to spark as he walked around it. Looking at each of them. There eyes meeting his as he continued.

"Why did he look at his eyes, well, lets just say they were familiar to the ones he used to have."

"He then, in his pain and anger whispered in the boys ears, something that slipped out that came from the bottom of his blacked stone heart. "Just...die...." But when he spoke this...he didn't say it just to the boy he was holding...but to the sensation that the girl awoke in his heart."

"With that he gained enough control to look around trying to find a way to send this hellish pain into the bowels of space and time far away from his life. That is when he saw the panel the Professor was so proud of.

He threw the boy down, and with his new focus turned the panel's power on. "

"The large steel arch-way hidden behind the sheets roared to life, as it then pulled in the tarps. The boy moved to this monster, but he saw the rage fueled eyes, frozen looking into them."

"The boy looked to what could only be described as a raging torrent of swirling refracting space fire with razor tips coming from the now groaning metal behind him. The man then heard a young whimpering voice of fear. "Please...don't..."

"The sudden sadness and anger consumed whatever control he could muster, he lifted the boy with his power, and with his final will of it, casted the boy into the spacious mouth of the temporal abyss.

"The last the boy saw, was the dark man turning around looking at his only friend in this strange future, and as the gate way closed, the last he heard was her scream."

They all stare intensely at him, each one of them waiting for more.

He laughs slightly "So, what did you guys think?"

_They all stare around the campfire, Fluttershy was snuggling Angel tightly, making him squeak in rage at her, though she was too terrified to let go. _

Twilight just looked chilled as if there was a cold breeze flowing around her.

Apple Jack just used her hat to cover her face, but she was still shivering.

Rainbow Dash however, looked at the others with mock sympathy, but her cool expression seemed as flat as the courage she tried to project on the others.

Spike was behind twilight holding her close by her stomach.

Pinkie Pie was hiding in the tree right above Rarity, her big blue eyes wide with worry, as it could be seen through the lining of leaves.

And as for Rarity, she was rubbing and needing her tail, as it coiled up in repulsive fear.

Blaze looked to them as the shadows danced around his face, almost making him look like the monster of each of their nightmares. "Guys it's fine, that was a long time ago. I-"

Twilight spoke up and jumped in surprise. "You mean that story is real?!"

He went over to her, hesitant at first. As it was jokingly rumored he had a crush on Twi. "Ya, but there is no way he could get here, and besides, I could be wrong," He did a scary smile and lowered his head closer to the dancing fire "if you think about it, how would I know if he was already here?!" He shouted dramatically, raising his fore hooves in the air.

_They all sighed with relief, besides Fluttershy and Rarity, who both fainted; though Rarity even in weakness had to make it look more dramatic. _

But looks of reassurance and tiny bits giggles, that I was fibbing to freak them out on Nightmare Night, helped settle the tense mood.

Suddenly , Pinkie fell from the branch she was holding on to and with a squeaked thud, fell onto a log with her rump with a loud "OOF!" as confetti kicked up from spring-like mane, from the party she threw earlier.
