"Well, this whole problem turned out better then expected" a cheerful small voice squeaked out
a moment of silence passed through the room
"B-better then expected? WE JUST WATCHED AS THE SON OF OUR DEAD COUNSEL LEADER DIED!!!!!" a comanding voice screamed across the room
"Well, he did come back to life in the end"
"Thank you concel member four, its good to know someone else can look on the bright side"
"God I miss Concel member 1."

--Ponyville--

“TWILIGHT FOCUS” silver called out, sweat pouring from his ripped body covered by his gorjuse black coat”

“it’s harder than it looks!” Twilight quiped back sharply as she turned suddenly catching silver off guard as he had to quickly reajust.

“Comeon twilight, you can do it, just like we’ve always done it, just don't stop moving” Silver called out, starting to become short of breath trying to keep up with the energetic young princesses energy and stamina.

“oh, oh god silver, SILVER LOOK OUT I’M COMMIIINNNNGGG” Twilight screamed at the top of her lungs as she grabed on to silver haze, causing him to lose his balance.

“AHHHHHHH” The both screamed in unison as they crashed into the ground.

“Well, twilight...I can see improvment in your flight at the least.” silver groaned as he pushed himself off the ground of the fields outside of canterlot.

“Well its not as easy as it looks mr. flight instructor.” Twilight groaned back, sticking her tongue out at the red and black alicorn.

“BOOOOY howdy, i aint seen nobody try that hard since big mac and ah went at it in a wrestlin’ compey-tition” said applejack as she gave s subdle nudge nudge hint hint.

“Yeah, get a room you two” Rainbow dash sighed as she floated around twilight to help her up

“Oh just face it girls, I’m never going to ever make use of these things on my back.” Twilight sighed as she flaped the wings on her back out of sinc.

“Oh honny you’ll get use to it some day, it took me years to get as good at it as I am, and I still have room to learn more!!!!!!!!!!!” Siver laughed as he flew into the air and did a double backflip kickflip 360 spin.

“show off why don’t you” twilight sighed

so the mane 7 all set off to the train station to see off 5 of them. “don’t worry girl, when silver and i finish our business in canterlot, we should be back in time to help with the summer sun celebration” said twilight “Ah don’t worry twilight, we'll all be fine, besides, I'm sure your all happy to have some privet time with your lovey-dovy prince over here" Rainbow dash snickered. Twilight blushed in response, silver haze just chuckled, Silver haze took princess twilight in his arms and flew off towards ponyville train.

--Ponyville train station: train number 1--
--time: 11:14--

silver haze yawned as he prepaired for bed, it had been a long train ride, but they were about half way to canterlot, he remember how long and arguous the first train ride to canterlot was when he whent to tell princess celestia about the impending threat of the fog. He remembered how much he complained about the ride and how everything would be faster if they just used airships, then they started talking about how many bits that would cost. and silver hazer remembered how confused he had been, it took him almost the entire ride to rap his head around the idea of "money" in alicornia, everyone just took what they needed, and everyone did their job in response.

Silver haze sighed as he leaned down to wash his face in the small train bathroom, using his magic to lift the bar of soap to his muzzle and soap up, he took a moment to look at himself in the miror, and discharged the aura around his red mane, which caused the floating mane to become limp around his head, he thanked the stars twilight wasn't around to see his "pure" form, she'd probably laugh about his mane. sighing

silver haze put his head down and washed the soap off of his muzzle, looking back up and the mirror, he admired his glowing red eyes, fanged teath and skull white fac-

"WHAT IN EQUESTRIA-" silver screamed as the mirror image recoiled with him. sudenly, twilight burst through the door (teleponing the door to some strange alternate reality) and found me curled up in a ball on the floor. Breathing heavily, I looked up and twilight and managed to grin.

"I uh, slipped on the soap..heheh....whops?" silver managed to sputter out, smiling at a confused twilight who slowly backed out of the room, I knew twilight knew something were beyond explinations.

Slowly silver haze got up and looked at himself in the mirror, his face was exactly as he remembered it. he even re-magiced his mane to check. As he left the bathroom, a memory floated into his head

FOOL YOU DO NOT BELONG IN THAT WORLD...YOU ARE A HUSK

"so, what was that you said about your mane being naturally like that?"

this was going to be a long night.

---The Next Day--

"...well I for one think you look adorable" silver haze smirked as twilight got flustred about silver seeing the new giant stain glass window devoted to her, showing her and her friends using the elements of harmony to cause Twilight to ascend to alicornhood.

"well, SILVER if anyone here deserves a stain glass window, it would be you mr. saved-equestria."

silver snorted "I saved equestria ONCE, you've done it, what three times now? Four? you know what, sererously, how did this place survive 1000 years if every other day something wants to destroy and or enslave this place."

"well, it had princess celestia"

"you mean the one that dissapears every time something threatens the land? The one who constantly hoofs the work over to you?"

Suddenly, a shadow loomed over silver haze. "Parhaps you should have made sure I wasn't in the room before you made that coment?" Celestia quiped behind silver, causing twilight to jump.

"Nah, I was waiting for you to ENTER the room before I made that comment...PRINCESS." silver said coldly to celestia

I knew my relationship with celestia had become strained as of late, she thought I was just draging her sister along since she knew I loved twilight, yet what she couldent understand is I loved them both and couldent imaging living without either of them, but celestia was too stupid to see the love I had for both of them, and as such, we butted heads whenever we were in the same room, some thanks I get for saving her pathetic country.

Twilight came between the two glaring alicorns, her brain trying to finger out how to stop her love and her mentor from tearing each others throats out.

"Ok...you two...uhhh, silver, why don't you go...do that thing, with, the thing?" Twilight managed to spit out through her forced smile.

Despite silver paying very little attention, he relized he did have something he had to get done. "Verry well, celestia...I will see you later." And with that silver haze left the room, turned the corner, and entered his room in canterlot castle, he picked up his longsword blade, Silver's Furry, created by only the finest alicornian smith, a blind ancient alicorn who lost his magic and his wings, and yet could create a blade unlike anything else around.

The blade was made of many things (ironically, none of them silver) Made with a magical metal, that amplified the users magical control, allowing for spells to be channeled through it like a staff, the blade was sharper then the finest steel, and had felled many a foe in silvers time, he had learned to use the magical blade as an extention of his being, the blade was something more to him than a weapon. Silver went over many thoughts similar to that, as well as working through his anger as he cleaned the blade, cleaning it until the blade truly shimmered in the light. (and due to the magical nature of the blade, how it gave off its own light.) He thought back to the many times he used the weapon, he always kept it on him at all times.

silver haze smiled as he heard hoofsteps at his door. "How was your chat with our wonderful leader?"

Twilight sighed "Why do you antagonize her like that?" silver ownly chuckled "I thought that if she was so patent and kind, she could handle ribbing from one pony"

Twilight rolled her eyes "I swear to celestia silver haze, you make my life twelve times harder then it should be."

Silver Haze only chuckled.

--The Rift--
A lone cloaked figure crossed over
He had given his pray enough time to run

--Canterlot castle--
"I swear sister, he is nothing but bad news" Celestia complained to her sister

"Oh come now sister thou do not understand the love we share" Luna shot back, rolling her eyes at her paranoid sister

"I've seen how he looks at twilight sister, parhaps you see him look at you the same way, but I do not wanting you sliping into the trap you did 1000 years ago, I know jealousy consumed you, and I do not want to see it again...I failed you sister, I let that anger and jealousy consume you where It could have been prevented had I simply steered you on a difrent path, and I will not see silver haze tear my sister away from me." Celestia sighed

"Plus, there is something WRONG with him luna...death is not a revolving door, you cant beleave that nothing changed about him, we cheat death by exsisting sister, and a mortal who escapes death will face it eventually anyway, but when we excape its clutches, it tends to be a lot less forgiving, and will not forget us.

"Oh sister.." Luna began, celestia continued walking, waiting for a reply from her sister, when none came, celestia turned around, and looked down the emtpy dark hall for her sister.

"Luna? LUNA?" Celestia called, suddenly worried for the safety of her sister.

Celestia didn't even see the snakelike vines until they grabbed her from above.

--Silver Haze's room--
Silver groaned as he hear the thumping from the door in his room, stumbing out of his bed, he levitated his sword from its display case to his neck, placing the blade in its holster, silver passed by the clock, then triped over an empty bottle of moonshine (curtency of a princess of the night) before forcing himself up and towards the door. Tiredly pearing throught the small hole that let him see the other side, he saw a very paniced twilight hoping up and down on the other side. Before he could open the door, he saw the lock enveloped in a magenta hue before with a loud click it poped open, before the door was bucked open, silver stumbled back, still tired and slightly hungover. He snorted as twilight entered the room without saying a word.

"Twily! What in the world is this about, why are you in my room? Whats going on?" Before silver could continue his endless spouting of rather pointless questions, twilight walked over the the other side of his room, and using her magic, thruster open the curtains, alowing sunlight...AND moonlight to stream into the room.

"Oh." Was all silver could manage as he saw both the sun and moon suspended in the sky at the same time.

This... this was a problem.

Author's Notes:

The chapter was writen in a flash of inspiration after atending BronyCAN 2014! I love you guys so much 2 CHAPTERS IN ONE DAY!~

Thank you bronyCAN for giving me the inspiration I needed to keep writing this amazing story, (well, I would have wrote it anyway) But STILL!

(EDIT 4/12/2015: It has come to my attention that in HIEQ 1 I made a mention about the elements already being in the Tree of Harmony. I honestly never remember putting that line in, but I did and it was a big mistake, as it conflicts the HIEQ timeline. I apologize for the confusion and will try and prevent plot holes like this in the future.)

These two chapters are setting the rules for the future, so here is what you can expect!

1. ONE Chapter ever week, NO EXCEPTION! (ok exception, but still, WITHIN THE BEST OF MY ABILITIES, I will try and post in on Saturday, but it may be earlier in the week, or Sunday)

2. AT LEAST 2,000 words for a standard chapter, SPECIALS must be 3,000+ (no limit on the size above that though, that goes to the achievement page...)

3. I will TRY to get on as much as posible to respond to comments, I cant respond to all of them (not because they arn't good, but because I dont want to stick my foot in my mouth by accident and say something unconscionably stupid)

4. And, as always, I welcome ALL coments, even if you come here just to put me down, I will read it and think about it, I know I'm puting it online for everyone to juge, and you have a right to say whatever you want about me or my story.

and you can find story goals and achievements on the blog! I'll be keeping a running total!

BROOOOOOOOOHOOF /)
