Third/First person Pov: Twilight Sparkle.

A weak groan echoed in the chamber, on a bed covered in poorly sewn furs, laid Twilight Sparkle.
The young princess could barely open her eyes, her whole body ached and all she saw was darkness. Where was she? She remembers passing out unconscious after falling into a cave, was she at Ponyville Hospital? Had her friends managed to save her?
She heard a gasp off to her side and soon she felt something scamper next to her. Soon her vision, blurry as it was, was filled with something that was decidedly NOT a pony.
She saw a strange, almost imp-like face staring down at her with beady yellow eyes and a mouth full of sharp teeth. She wanted to panic and scream but couldn't, equal parts due to how dry her throat was, and, for whatever reason, she felt oddly at ease despite the frightening face.
The creature was grinning down at her and she practically felt its excitement, "She's waking up!" She heard a voice say in a scratchy, almost high-pitched tone, and soon a second creature filled her vision. This time she had a better look at its body. It was brown in color, and its lower half was covered by a crudely made fur loincloth. Like its companion, it too was eagerly staring at her.

"Rub some acid in her eyes! That'll freshen her up!" Wait what!?

A clawed hand reached toward her eyes but was knocked away by a different hand, and soon her vision was consumed by a sponge. She expected sheer agony, but to her surprise, the acid only stung a little, and weirdly, she did feel fresher after the stinging ended!
Her vision was now clear, she was able to raise her head, and she saw 4 more of the creatures gathered around her, each of them looking at her excitedly with their little sharp-toothed faces. These were her saviors? Well, not every creature is a knight in shining armor, these creatures even less so judging by their primitive attire, but she wasn't about to complain, they did save her after all.

Slowly, she got up from the crude bed she had been lying in and stared down at the assembled creatures, clearing her throat, she spoke "Thank you for saving me. I am Twilight Sparkle, now, who are you little guys?" She said with a polite smile. The creatures said nothing and only giggled before running toward the door.
Blinking in surprise, she shook her head and began to chase them "Hey wait!" She didn't go far as she saw them standing in a hall. They kept grinning up at her "Follow! Follow!" One of them said before it and its friends ran up on a small pathway, letting them bypass the debris in the way, she gazed up at the obstacle in her way, it was too close to the ceiling to permit flight but now what?
"New Master would show magic!" One of the creatures said eagerly from the pathway. "Yay! Magic! Magic!" Making Twilight blink, part of her scolded herself for not thinking of that first, but another, much more prominent part hooked onto one of the creature's words 'Master?' Her mind echoed. She's never been called, master, before, but why did that feel...right?

She shook off the question for now. She'd get answers later after dealing with this obstacle. Focusing her magic, her horn sparked and glowed, and soon, a magic blast shot out and obliterated the debris!
She couldn't help but blink in surprise, she felt better physically but her magic still felt weak, yet look what she did to that wall! She heard cheers of raw excitement and saw the creatures applauding and cheering for her destruction of the wall!
She rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly with a grin before focusing on the creatures before her, "Alright alright calm down. Now, can one of you tell me where I am? And what exactly are you?" She said in her best authoritative, yet kind, voice. It was pretty clear these creatures weren't too bright and a little overexcited, it was best to calm them down lest they run off again.

Instantly, the creatures before her perked up, but instead of answering, they all ran behind her! She quickly turned, expecting another attempt to run, but instead, they all lined up before her, each eagerly gazing up at her "We minions!" One of them said, before being shoved away by his companion "We'z unda pony castle ruin!" She raised an eyebrow at what they called themselves, 'Minions?' She must confess, that didn't seem like a proper species name, so to speak, but weirdly for these imp-like creatures, it seemed fitting.
Odd name aside, at least she knew where they were, pony castle ruin? She didn't need to be a genius to decipher that they meant the castle of two sisters.
