Half conscious, I was carried by Dimitrius further and further away from the Crystal Empire. I knew that wherever he was heading, probably didn't mean any good.

I saw flashes of forests and hills between constant intervals of waking up and passing out again. Finally at one point I woke up and stayed awake, realising that I was no longer out in the open.

In fact, I was in a large round room that seemed to have been recently carved out with magic inside a mountain. The walls were scattered with sharp rocks and the ceiling felt low. There was only one exit there, that lead to some long and narrow cave.

"Dearie me. Look what you got yourself into." A deep, satisfied voice sounded. Dimitrius came into view as he walked around me slowly, chuckling and muttering to himself.

I shuddered. Me entire body left weak and drained. I used all my strength to lift myself up off the floor into a seating position. Dimitrius didn't react, he simply continued to walk around me, circling me like a hungry vulture.

"Why are you doing this?" I asked weakly, causing Dimitrius to stop. He looked at me for a second and then burst into a manic laughter.

"Bahahaha! Oh hahaha! Isn't it obvious?!" Dimitrius shook his head and calmed himself down before continuing. "Guess. What two things did I ever want the most?" He said, sitting his flank onto the stone cold floor in front of me. My heart pounded in my chest.

"Uh... I don't know, money?" I guessed nervously.

"Wrong. Continue." He said sharply. I shivered and looked at the floor trying to think.

If Dimitrius wanted to hurt me that day, then talking to him to stall would have given Sombra more chance of possibly finding me here. However after a moments thought, I realised nopony knew where I went. I realised that I was doomed.

"Knowledge?"

"No, keep guessing." He snapped impatiently.

This time I took a moment to think about it. There wasn't much else that evil ponies ever desired. An idea came to my mind. I didn't know if it was a good idea mentioning it, but I knew the more I kept Dimitrius talking, the more chance of surviving I had.

"Um... I don't know. Sex?" I guessed, remembering how he always tried to hit on me when we were much younger. Dimitrius chuckled at my response.

"That's definitely high up on the list, but no. Although, I'm sure you can help me with that today, right?" He said calmly, lifting his hoof to touch my chin. I slapped his hoof away and shuffled myself backwards.

"No, and never..." I said stern and shakey tone. My hooves shivered from fear. I felt disgusted with the thought of that.

"Then keep guessing, or I'll actually help myself to you." He said hungrily. I did not know if he was being serious or not, but either way, I didn't want to risk it. I started to feel extremely nervous. I didn't want to think about this even possibly happening.

"Um, power?" I guessed, expecting him to also say no.

Instead, Dimitrius slowly nodded. "Yes. That's one of the two things I want the most. The other one is you." He admitted with a chuckle.

I shook my head and denied it. "Me? No. Why? What do you want?!" I snapped, staring to panic. The more nervous I seemed, the more Dimitrius enjoyed it.

"Oh you still don't see it? Jeez, you're sometimes more stupid than I let myself believe... You were the first thing I ever wanted, but unfortunately they took you away from me. So I then reached out for the second thing I want most, power. Oh and when I finally got that, I decided it's time to get you again, but by then you were already sickly in love with Sombra." He snapped in disgust. "That, and I'm not the only one who wants you right now..." He added darkly.
