Chapter 14: Lost Filly

After that crazy day, yesterday, I hope that this one will have some semblance of being normal. Did I just jinx myself? God dangit.

Well then, since I got nothing better to do, I'm going over to Rarity to get an outfit.

So I end up floating over to her place, and find her already awake and making breakfast. I was about to say something, when a small white unicorn entered the room.

"Morning Rarity," she said.

"Oh, good morning to you as well Sweetie Belle," Rarity replied, "What do you have planned for today?"

"Me, and the girls are going over to Apple Bloom's, because Applejack says she has a surprise for us," Sweetie Belle said, smiling.

"That is nice," Rarity replied, and placed some food on a plate for Sweetie Belle, "You can leave once you finished you breakfast."

"Ok!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed, and started to eat quickly.

Rarity ended up going back up to work room, leaving Sweetie to her devices. I follow her up to the room as well.

"I wonder when Chrome is going to show up," She asked herself, looking at a mannequin covered with a sheet.

"I'm already here," I said, scaring her.

"Eep!" She shouted, turning to face me, "Please don't do that Chrome, it is quite unbecoming to sneak up on a mare like that."

"Sorry," I apologized, "When you are a spirit, it is hard not to. So, do you have something ready for me to try on?"

"Ah, yes, I do," she said, as she removed the sheet from the mannequin.

There on the mannequin, was a full body outfit: a mask, a hat, a cape and all the rest. The main body was a dark blue, along with the hat, and the cape. The leg wrappings, and the mask, were both white, but the mask's eyes were a sky blue. The hat was a wide rim one, with a cloth of white on it as well.

I continued to look over the outfit, it looked quite nice, and somewhat mysterious.

"So what do you think?" Rarity asked.

"Honestly, I like it," I admitted, "How much do I owe you for this?"

"Nothing, think of it as a way to repay you for stopping me from making a fool of myself back in Cloudsdale," Rarity explained.

"Very well then," Accepting the answer, because I have no money. I need to find a way to make some bits around here.

Rarity then removed the outfit for the mannequin, for me to place it on. I floated over to the clothing, and just let myself just seep into the outfit, filling it so that it fit perfectly.

I got to say, everything looks very different from down here on all fours.

"Thank you very much for the outfit Rarity, I like it," I told her.

"That is good to know Chrome."

"Well I am off for now Rarity," I told her, leaving through the door for once.

"Take care Chrome," she called out behind me.

I ended up walking through most of Ponyville, trying to find the library. It is quite difficult to find your way around when you no longer have a bird's eye view of the place.

Somehow or another, I ended up at one of the entrances to the Everfree, great.

You know what; screw it, I got nothing better to do anyway.

So I just continue to walk into the forest, to see wherever it might take me this time.

"And of course I would just end up back here, I always seem to," I said to myself, seeing the Castle of the Two Sisters in front of me. Why the hell do I keep coming back to this place?

I continued to walk towards the Castle, ignoring the broken bridge, and just walked across on the air, screw logic, I am a spirit.

I enter the castle, once again, and start to actually explore it this time. Who know what I might find in this cursed place.

I walked from room to room on the main floor; find a whole lot of nothing.

I than go to the next floor up, and found that library again, I bet Twilight would love to have some of these books at her place. I decide to take some of the more interesting looking books with me, but since I don't have any pockets, I just put them in the outfit. I guess this thing can be used as a walking storage unit.

After taking 5 books, I continue exploring the place, but this time, its lower levels.

Down there, I found another interesting item, a pipe organ. How do ponies play a pipe organ, when they have no fingers? It must sound awful.

I went up to the organ, and decided to press a few keys, and was rewarded with two things: a blare of noise, and the sound of stone moving on stone.

I turned to my left, and saw that a passageway had opened up.

"Ok then…This way to One Eyed Willy's treasure," I joked to myself, and continued onwards.

As I continued down the passageway, I came to a split in the path way, one leading right, and the other left. Now which way should I go?

While I was thinking about this, I heard something coming from the left one. Were those voices? Who would be here?

I walked into the left passageway, trying to find out what is going on. I ended up coming to a wooden door. I could hear numerous voiced coming from behind it, so I just opened the door, to see what was going on.

In the room, I could see what appeared to be numerous cloaked pony figures, around what looked like a spiral of black, and dark blue energy.

I stared at this vortex, but was spotted by one of the ponies, "Intruder!"

I looked around, and saw that the other figures turn to me. Did I find a pony cult or something?

Before I could even get an answer, one of the ponies, my guess a unicorn, blasted me with magic, sending my outfit across the room. Oh great, I'm naked again.

"Now why would you do that?" I asked.

The ponies then looked around to see where my voice was coming from. "Where are you, you coward, reveal yourself," One of the yelled.

I floated up to the yelling pony, and smacked him in the back of his head, "I am here, you foolish pony. But how can you expect to see the dead?" I smiled at that last bit.

"Dead? This is no time for jokes, child, reveal yourself at once," Another pony yelled.

"Who are you to order me around pony? Who do you think you are to order around a human?!" I yelled, loving to mess with these guys.

After I said that I was a human, the ponies, then stopped, trying to find me, and started to panic, "A human where?", "We must leave before it eats us", "Teleport us out of here!" were among some of the numerous shouts that could be heard.

It seems, that some of them took the teleportation bit, serious, so soon, the ponies in the room, started to teleport away in flashes of light, leaving me alone with the vortex.

I decided that I could find out what this vortex might be about, but first, get dressed again. I went over, and seeped back into my outfit, feeling better not being naked again.

I then turn my attention towards the vortex, to see what this thing was going from. I then noticed what looked like chalk marking on the ground, is this what is controlling this thing?

I brush away from the chalk, and heard a thunderous crack come from the vortex. Oh hell, what did I do now?

I looked at the vortex, as it started to swing around the room, smashing into the wall, and celling, cracking the stone. Please tell me I didn't just destroy the castle.

I continued to watch the vortex, but it soon stopped its rampage, and began to shrink.

The vortex continued to shrink, until it was about 2 feet tall, and started to do something odder. From within the vortex, I could see what appeared to be a small pony, a filly maybe.

The vortex began to dissipate, leaving a small filly unicorn where it once stood. This filly had a very dark blue coat, and a dark purple mane.

I looked at the filly, wondering what exactly happened. I nudge the filly, with my hoof, trying to see if she was still alive. I was awarded with a small groan, from my prodding.

The little filly, woke up, and looked around the room. Her eyes were opal colored, but her pupils were slit, like a cat's.

"Wh-where am I?" The little one asked, in a meek voice.

"Um, you are in a very old castle," I answered.

"Who are you?" She asked.

"Chrome."

"And who am I?"

She doesn't know who she is? "I don't know, I just found you here."

"Oh." She said, sadly.

"What are you doing here little one?" I asked her

"I don't know."

"Do you remember anything?" I asked.

"No."

Ok, so I got a filly with amnesia, so much for the hopes of a normal day.

"Well then, since you have no idea about what anything it, why don't you come with me," I offered.

"Why?" she asked.

"Who knows, we might find out who you are."

"Ok," she said, as she got up, and walked close next to me.

So we just walked out of that room, and back to the split, and headed to the right. When she walked next to me, I noticed something I didn't before, she had wings. So I found a filly alicorn, this day went up a few notches on the abnormal scale.

We reached the end of the right passageway, and to another door. Please no more pony cultist.

I opened the door, and saw gold. I found this place's treasure room.

I turned to the filly next to me, and saw her eyes go wide at the sight of all this gold.

Since this place was abandoned so many centuries ago, this stuff was free for the taking.

"Take as much as you wish little one. This place was long forgotten, so it is free for the taking," I told her.

With that knowledge, the filly used her horn to pick up one of the small chest near the back of the room, and placed some gold into it. While she was going that, I took some gold from some of the pile, and put it in my suit.

The little filly ended up filling her small chest with gold, and tried to pick it up, but found it to be too heavy for her.

"Here let me," I said, as I picked up the chest, and placed it on my back. Thank god spirits are strong, or this thing would have broken my back just lifting up.

"Thank you." She said.

"I like to help," I replied, "Come on, let's get out of this place." I then led us out of the treasure room, and back to the organ room. The moment we entered it, the passageway closed behind us.

We continue till we are outside, and I could see that the sun was setting, it will be night soon.

We approached the still broken bridge, "Um how are we going to get across, I don't know how to fly, and your wings might not be strong enough to carry me, and the gold." The little one said. Wait wings? I turn my head to look at my back, and I saw under the cape were a pair of hidden wings. I guess Rarity made this with me being a pegasus in her mind.

"Don't worry, I have me ways," I said to her.

I picked her up, and placed her on my back, in front of her chest.

"Um, I really don't think you can fly with this much weight," she said, nervous. I smiled at that.

I started walking towards the edge, causing her to continue her panic.

"Sir, we won't make it, and you haven't even tried flapping your wings yet, were not going to make it," she said, panicking.

When I reached the edge, I just continued walking, and over the trench.

When we reached the other side, I looked at the little filly with her mouth open, and then kept on walking.

"How did you do that? You didn't use your wings, or anything. You just walked right across, like it was the ground?" She asked, not believing what just happened.

"I don't need wings to fly little one. I am simply more than I appear," I told her, cryptically.

"Oh come on, tell me, how did you do that?" she asked.

"Hm…Ok, I am the spirit of a human who has entered this world by some unknown power, and has been haunting the local town," I honestly said.

"If you don't want to tell me, you just have to say so. You don't have to lie to me," She pouted.

"If you don't believe me, then just remove my mask," I offered. I then felt her tug at my mask with her magic. When she had fully reveled my lack of a body, she gasped.

"That is so cool," She said, with stars in her eyes, "I have met a ghost and he saved me." She then gave that odd squeaking noise those ponies make.

"You are not afraid?" I asked.

"Of course not, I love these kinds of things!" she exclaimed happily.

"That is good to know," I said, and then I thought of something. She is all alone now that she has no memory of her life, and I couldn't abandon her in this weird world. Then I remember the amount of gold that I had bought. I might be able to buy a house with this stuff.

"Little one, I have a question for you," I told her.

"What?" she asked curiously.

"Since you have no place to go, how about you live with me."

"Really?! You would do that for me?" She asked with hope in her eyes.

"I see no reason not to," I said, "So what do you say?"

"Yes!" She said excitedly

"Good. Now that we got a living arrangement for you, we now need to find a name for you."

"Ok, what do you think I should me called?" she asked.

"I don't know. From what I have seen from the local ponies, their names usually come from things they like, more often than not. So what do you like?"

"Hm… I like the night, the moon, the stars, the planets, you, and spiders." She answered. Me?

"Well, most of those things you said do deal with things like the night, and darkness, so we can start from that," I said. Now let me think. She is an alicorn, which are known to be seen like a god around here, but loves the night, "How about Nyx? It means night where I come from."

"Nyx… I like it," she answered, happy she now has a name.

"Oh hey, we are finally out," I said, noticing we have left the forest.

"That is…good" she said.

I look back at her, and notice that she is getting tired.

"Yawn, I think I am getting…." Were the last words she said, before she fell asleep on my back.

I continue to walk into Ponyville, and reached the center of the place, Town Hall. I entered the building, and saw the Mayor of Ponyville in her office.

"Oh, hello. How can I help you sir?" she asked.

"I am fine, ma'am. I have come here to see of purchasing a house for me, and the little one," I said, moving my head to indicate Nyx.

"Yes, I can sell you a home, but it will cost a good bit of bits," she said.

I reached into my suit, and removed some of the gold and placed it on her desk, "Will this be enough?" I asked.

Mayor Mare just sat there looking at the gold on her desk, wide eyed, "Um yes, this is more than enough to pay for a house," she said, moving some of the gold back towards me.

I put the remaining gold back into my suit.

Mayor Mare, left the room for a bit, and came back with a key.

"This is the key to your house. You will find it near the Golden Oak Library. It will be the one with the blue roof," she explained, handing me the key.

"Thank you for your help Mayor Mare," I said, leaving Town Hall, and to the new house.

When I reached my new house, it was already dark, and the streets were practically deserted. The house looked quite nice. Blue roof, plenty of window, and a nice white finish.

I unlock the door, and enter inside to see that the place is already furnished. Is this normal with a house, or did the last pony living here leave it in a hurry.

Deciding that it doesn't really matter, I moved up to the next floor of the house, and found the bedrooms, one being the master bedroom, and the other one being slightly smaller.

Well I don't sleep as it is, so I gave Nyx the larger one.

I took the chest off my back, and placed it on a dresser in Nyx's room. I then move over to the bed, and placed Nyx under the covers so that she can be comfortable.

As I go to leave the room, I just say, "Good night Nyx, see you in the morning." I close the door behind me, letting her sleep.
