The Dark Day.

Blood rained down upon the red Alicorn, he he spun the blade that was now as red as he was. He chanced a look up, the storm above him crackled and sparked, magic striking the air and ground as Alicorns fought for superiority, the five clans bickering even when faced with their annihilation, they saw them as such a little threat that they used this battle as a chance to settle scores moreso then to stop them. It was both humorous and somewhat insulting to Smite. He jumped over a corpse, the plain grass field now filled with the bodies of the fallen. Still, his target was near, he approached the eye of the storm, he felt three Alicorns run to his side, two more teleported in as the final one flew down from above, wounded, but alive as they walked as one together. None of them dared speak, they had all spoken their peace before this began, a choice had been made, a drawing of straws, a chance of luck had him leading the group, though he felt the angry and fearful eyes on the back of his neck, he knew his companions felt it all. Fear of what came next, sadness of never seeing another dawn, anger that he would be the one to survive...he carried all their emotions with his own heavy heart.

Another Warfighter Alicorn swooped down, he was disintegrated before he could even think of a spell. The party made it to the center of the battle, each taking out their amulet. A simple nod, a farewell, a goodbye to the lives they knew. Smite let the tiniest bit of magic leak into the amulet.

And with a single magical spark, the elements were formed. Six bodies crumbled to dust, their life-force absorbed into the corrupted artifact. Until only Rightful stood, a swirl of godlike energy pouring from six amulets into his own. The other fighters took notice and landed to charge him, but far too late.

Smite bowed his head and uttered a single wish.

The darkness swallowed the ground of the battlefield in an instant pulling the Alicorns into the depths of oblivion, it filled the world, pulling gods from their thrones and workers from their farms. In an instant, the age of the Alicorn ended.

And as one final Alicorn was absorbed into his amulet, the dark years began.

Canterlot throne room

A silence covered the throne room of the castle, everypony feeling something different. Celestia felt fear and confusion, Luna felt much the same way, the Elements were just surprised, everypony was shocked. Twilight walked forwards.

"Wait...hold on, are you saying...you are from the future?!?! But how! You can't stabilize in the past, you have to put a limit on time or else you would just use all your magic and die! The longest even the most powerful could stay in the past is about an hour!" Silver shook his head.

"Common pony logic, you look at the problem with time-travel backwards, the problem is not how long one could feasibly stay in the past, but how you would get enough energy to KEEP you in the past. Time is relative when you start toying with time streams, if I have twelve seconds to do something and I go twelve seconds into the past, I have Twenty-four seconds total to do it. Time travel into the past can easily be stabilized if you use the idea of time as such, travel back with enough energy to make you STABLE for say, one second. Once you get there, you will have one second and however far back you jumped until you are forced back to your own time. Fairly simple in concept...but the power required to STABILIZE a jump? Especially so far into the past? Lets just say there is a clear reason no one dares jump to the past even if they don't care about the consequence." Silver explained. Causing Twilight's eye to twitch comically.

"Ooooookkkkaaayyy...yeah, sure, why not? heh, it's not like that flies in the face of every known science ever...heh..." Twilight muttered to herself as she stood very still and let her eye continue to twitch.

Silver nodded not paying much attention to Twilight, he smiled, he had an edge though.

"Don't worry everyone, we have an edge over them, I know what is going to happen next, now, tomorrow, we are going to be attacked by corrupted dragons from the darkness, so if we get together and pool our def-" Before Silver could finish, the door burst open and a guard ran inside.

"PRINCESSES! GUARDS HAVE SPOTTED A GIANT CLOUD OF DARKNESS HEADING TOWARDS THE CITY!"

Silver took a moment to absorb this new information.

"...did I say tomorrow? I meant today. Whoops." Silver said with a chuckle.

The room exploded into panic.

Celestia ran towards the balcony, followed by everyone else, except for silver. However, silver saw the phantom image of Rightful, shaking his head.

"Silver...we were wrong." The image turned to him and shook his head.

"This is not a time scenario, to many little differences. We have jumped universes. Gone from one parallel to another. Someone wanted us to think this was our time...we need to get home. Now." Rightful seemed very sure in his deduction, causing Silver to agree with the Element for once.

"Yeah...how do we get back though?" Silver asked, Rightful sighed.

"For now, fight, we will need help to get home, we cannot do that if everyone is dead." Rightful dissipated into thin air, silver summoned his blade and ran towards the window, he extended his wings and felt the blood pumping through his body, finally, a chance to truely test his skills.

The window shattered, a burst of red and black energy surging outside, slow, yes, but it blew back any who neared it, when it landed, Silver stood in the middle of the crater, his blade at his side, he looked over the street in what was canterlot square.

Shades, demons of the fog, shaped like cruel mockeries of ponies. Overtook the city, white and golden guards stood in orderly rows, holding shields and spears to hold them back, they had the training, but lacked to experience in combat to adapt to the twisted and broken combat style the Shades followed.

He saw them leap over the shield wall and tear at their backs, their formations broken in seconds, he also noticed the cloud of fog begin to plant tendrils of darkness into the ground, after a few moments, the dead and dieing suddenly found themselves surrounded by fog, before their bodies were consumed, and Shades stood in the place they once were.

He took an extra moment to analyses the battlefield, the streets were fairly wide, the buildings were crammed together, alleyways connected the city together, but this location had a fortified cafe that the guards were using as a bunker, the other stores were either crushed by the initial attack or closed and shut off.

Silver let his blade rest on his shoulder, he ran forwards, into the heat of combat, one of the Shades noticed him, but before he could even move, silver swung the blade around like a baton, creating angular momentum that he then used to chop the Shade's head clean off. Getting the attention of the rest. Silver stood calmly, he felt the energy of the shades focus on him. He smiled, this was one of the moments he lived for.

Silver Haze Vs. The Shades of the Shadows.

Two of the shades ran at him, their hooves trailing fog behind them, one of them swung a sharpened blade made of fog at him, the other wielding a spear also made out of the fog. Silver brought his blade up, blocking the blade of the first Shade and sidestepping the spear of the second Shade before bringing his left hoof down and crushing the conjured weapon. Bring his blade around his head he quickly finished off the disarmed foe, before focusing back on the other Shade, who swung again and again at him. Silver expertly blocked both slashes, before bringing his blade down from above his head, forcing the Shade to change his tactics to those of defense, Silver took advantage of the moment, and summoned a second copy of his weapon and wielding them both expertly, slashing one high and the other low, the Shade tried to block them both, but failed on both fronts, as Silver dispelled his second blade, the headless and legless body of the Shade hit the ground.

Silver channeled his blood magic, he felt red lines appear on his body and felt his power grow a surprising amount, he felt a voice in his head.

"You may not have accepted my power, but you still get a trickle of it, enjoy it." He heard Rightful's voice

Silver jumped up on a broken cart that once belonged to the royal guards, he stood tall, he felt his eye shift in color, the red blood magic poured from his eyes, he felt the lines shift on his body, he felt the runes of power form on his body, the cracked lines of blood magic giving him power. The Shades stood in front of him, he jumped down into the horde of the fog, he drew his blade and charged.

The first of the Shades ran at him, Silver rased his hoof, grabing the Shade by the muzzle, he felt magic pulse down his hoof and the Shade's head explode, the second ran at him from the side, he turned sideways and swung the blade downwards, causing a magical red lighting bolt to fly outwards from the blade, punching a hole right through the Shade, two more approached him from the front, Silver back-stepped before holding one hoof behind his back, magic creating a sharpened dagger of magic, he dragged his blade on the ground in one hoof as he stood on his back legs and slashed with the dagger which dispelled when it slashed at empty air that the Shades had been in a few seconds ago. Thinking they had outsmarted him, they ran fowards before being beheaded by the heavier blade that was swung at them a few seconds later.

Silver ran forward again, jumping up and extending his wings, landing and impaling another shade, blasting blood magic from his horn as he dropped more Shades around him without even looking, sinking his blade into another Shade, he turned to face another that ran at him, summoning two phantom red short swords, he slashed at the Shade, the blades seem to pass through the abomination, however after a few seconds, a dense mist covered the Shade and the sound of blades slashing at flesh and the monstrous screams of the Shade echoed across the battlefield, before Silver pulled his blade out of the other Shade and continue forwards into the horde that awaited him.

Silver looked to see a dieing guard laying on the street beside Silver. Silver also felt Rightful appear beside him.

"He is already dead. His mind is beyond healing...but his body may still be useful..." Rightful gestured towards the guard, a raised eyebrow posing a question.

Silver nodded solemnly. He felt the blood runes on his body dim as the feeling of power left him as the image of Rightful vanished, as well as the feeling of a second mind inside his own.

The guard convulsed, his eyes glazed over for a moment and he noticed the guard had just died, before his eyes turned a solid red color, and two phantom wings and a long red horn appeared on his head. As well as that, a phantom set of plated armor covered the guards ruined armor he had been wearing. As well as a long red blade that seemed to be dripping with some sort of phantom lava.

Rightful nodded at him, Silver nodded back, the two of them looked at the approaching Shades and readied.

Rightful moved faster then Silver, beheading two Shades, before spreading his phantom wings to reveal his massive wingspan the light from the sun that touched his wings turned to red beams as they came through the other side of his phantom apendages. The Shades unfotunate enough to be caught underneath him were incinerated in seconds as the ground turned as hot as lava underneath them as their corrupted flesh boiled. As Rightful landed, he ran foward slashing through the Shades as if they were wet tissue paper, Silver struggled, even using his blood magic, could not keep up with the Ancient Alicorn. The Shades tried to strike him from all sides, Rightful simply let them, as they reached him, he smiled at Silver.

"I am afraid that I feel my power dimming, I have done all I can for you Silver, the Element needs to recharge, you are on your own for a while. I'll clear they way." Rightful looked up and held his hooves up to the sky, and as the first Shade touched him, the ground cracked underneath all of them as a pillar of lava erupted from the ground and consumed everything within Rightful's reach.

Silver felt the presence of the Element return to him, only to retreat the the back of his mind. Silver took a moment to catch his breath, looking back at the street behind him, the bodies of the Shades that they had destroyed had vanished, however, the long stretch of street had been retaken, however, the guard seemed to be retreating to his cleared path, as the rest of the city was falling quickly. Silver thought back to how he had won the first time.

Silver heard a roar and turned to see the massive Dragon, corrupted by the fog as it landed on the now ruined wall surrounding Canterlot, it roared as darkened flames covered the sun for a moment, plunging the city into a panicked moment of darkness.

Silver clutched his blade stepping forwards slowly before speeding up sprinting across the city, with his blade dragging on the ground under him, he let out a battle-cry as he jumped up and took to the sky, his blade firmly in his grasp underneath him. Suddenly, he felt other surround him, however, instead of being attacked as he expected, he saw several Royal Guards fly beside him, carrying their weapons as well, they seemed to have been injured, but had still taken flight at what they had assumed to be a cry for help, but now seemed to found themselves in the middle of what was a call to battle. They didn't seem to care either way.

Silver flew towards the Dragon, who focused on his the second he approached, the Dragon swung at him, the guards scattered to avoid the attack, Silver simply tucked his wings in and slipped through the Dragon's claws, his years of dragon hunting training coming back to him as he extended his wings out halting his decent bringing him directly underneath the Dragon's head. They locked eyes before Silver flapped his wings and spend towards the Dragon's head. The dragons let out a blast of black fire, Silver stopped, letting his blood magic pour from his eyes as it twisted around his body creating a protective bubble of fiery red and black magic, which the fire struck, knocking the shield back, the fire split as it struck the bubble, passing on all sides around the bubble. Silver held it for a few moment, but finding that he couldn't withstand the full force of the fire, he expanded the bubble for a moment to give him a route to escape out the side before it shattered and the fire struck the city underneath where his bubble was, incinerating several guards and destroying a few houses.

Silver stopped himself again by extending his wings, floating in mid air, using the guards who were distracting the Dragon in the same way a fly might annoy an Alicorn. He held out his hoof, focusing, he summoned a ball of magic, then focused it into an orb, which was then covered by a layer of black steam, before throwing it above his head, catching it in his magical grasp as he spun it around his head, before releasing it and sending it flying towards the Dragon, who barely saw the orb approach it before it exploded, consuming the Dragon in a magic surge. Silver landed on a nearby building trying to calm his heart, he felt the world go a bit fuzzy, blood magic on that level took far more energy then he had, he had already overexerted himself, death by blood loss was a common death for blood mages, more then one powerful mage has died without being touched by a weapon simply because they did not watch their consuming of power vs their use of it.

The dragon collapsed from the wall, landing in the street in front of Silver, it was still alive, as it tried to get back up, Silver stood up, almost falling over from a sudden bout of dizziness. He moved forwards, jumping down from the roof and onto the Dragon's wing, sliding down it, he moved towards the head of the beast it turned around and breathed in, ready to spit it corrupted flames at him, Silver jumped first, teleporting forwards, Silver leaped down using his magic to increase his weight, bringing the dragon's head down into it's chest as it forced it's mouth closed as the fire tried to escape through his closed mouth. Silver let out a tired grin as panic filled the corrupted monster's eyes. Dragons were immune to their own fire, but beings of the corruption were not safe from their own powers in the same way. Silver walked forwards, leaping off the Dragon's head as his eyeballs were consumed by black flames before two beams of fire shot out of where it's eyes once were.

Silver waited for the fog to dispel from the city, however, to his horror, the fog did not seem to dissipate, in fact, it only seemed to be momentarily stunned by the defeat of the corrupted Dragon, their invasion doubled in intensity, Silver, stepped forwards on unsteady hooves, his powers drained, he could do no more, he was running on empty.

"AAHHHHH!" Fluttershy's voice rung out from the nearby building, suddenly, the wall exploded as Fluttershy's limp body skidded across the cobblestone road. The other elements followed, only in slightly better shape, they were bruised and beaten. Flutershy looked up at Silver, tears of pain in her eyes.

"Help...me...." Silver tried to take a step forwards, anger filling him, he searched his body for any power he had left anything to help Fluttershy.

Silver took two steps forwards before he tripped over his own hoof and fell flat on his face gasping for air. He could only look at Flutershy's battered body with fear in his eyes. He had nothing left in him. He could not help her.

Suddenly, an Alicorn made of the fog, not like the Shade's, this one seemed complete. Not a mockery...a Corrupted Alicorn. Stepped out of the hole in the wall, tendrils of darkness running along the ground as it slowly made it's way towards Fluttershy. Twilight tried to hit it with a spell and was promptly smacked with a tendril of darkness for her trouble. The rest were quickly restrained. The Alicorn picked up Fluttershy with one of his tendrils and stood before Silver, a Twisted smile of fanged teeth being the only sight other then Fluttershy that Silver could see. Silver screamed into his own mind.

"Rightful! Your Bearer commands you! Find something, anything, any power, any magic, just something I can still use, HURRY!" Silver waited a moment before a reply sounded back to him.

"As you command bearer. I am working on it." Rightful's voice called back, sounding strained.

The Alicorn held Fluttershy in front of Silver's face. "Well, BROTHER ALICORN, I do put my faith in a proper way of doing things...Ehhahaha...so why don't you take a moment to say goodbye to this lovely Pegisi..." The Alicorn burst into mad laughter.

Silver could barely speak, both from fear and fatigue. "It-it...it...*gasp* it will all...all...all be okay...ok...ju-just...stay calm flutters...I-l'll save you..." Silver felt something inside of him stir, Rightful had found something, it was a spark, but he could save Fluttershy and her alone and that would be enough.

Fluttershy had tears of fear running down her face, but she nodded, she knew he would save her. Somehow, across all of time and space, she knew that he would protect her.

Silver charged his spell, a bloodbath spell, one of the most powerful ones he knew, it would take every ounce of his mind and body, both metaphorically to focus the spell, and literally to summon enough blood to use it.

Silver met Fluttershy's eye and let a wink slip through as only the two of them noticed the red spark that slipped from Silver's horn. She let out a small smile through her tears.

He would always save her.

The abomination created a sharp tendril of fog, and holding Fluttershy off to one side of him and the tendril on the other, pointed straight at her chest. Before speaking.

"Time to die! Three..." The Creature laughed as the other Elements and Fluttershy watched Silver, the random sparks growing stronger and stronger. Silver waited for the perfect moment.

"TWOOOOOO" The Creature began laughing, Silver let the spell form in his mind.

"ONEEEEEEEE~" Silver focused all he was into the spell, he felt the magic run up his horn as pain ran through his entire body, he would save her, that was all Silver could think. The flicker of magic appeared on his horn, he would die. But it would be worth it...

The solemn voice of Rightful echoed in his mind. "...I am sorry my bearer."

and the magic vanished. The spell stopped and the sparks stopped. Silver gasped. Panic filling his eyes.

"ZERO!" The creature yelled as the tendril flew forwards.

Impaling Fluttershy through the chest. Silence filled the street, Fluttershy could only look at Silver, confusion, fear and betrayal the only things he could see in her eyes.

And then the magic surged back into his horn and before he could stop it, he felt his blood magic teleport him away as darkness overcame his vision.

The Eternal Counsel.

Eight and and half thousand years before the start of the Dark Years.

The room was quiet, the members inside were uncharacteristically quiet, the primal gods of the universe waiting for the last member.

The doors flew open as the last hooded member of the Counsel of Eternity entered. A tall Alicorn with a hoof made of some sort of metal stood and growled at him. "You are late. We do not tolerate those who do not-"

The ground shook, silencing everypony. The hood came off to reveal the red maned Alicorn. Rightful Smite snorted. "Calm thyself Ironhoof. The ground demand food. I had to consume a few mortal villages on my way here." Rightful took his rightful seat at the table. This did not satisfy Ironhoof, but he raised no further comments.

Fourteen hours later, the eight Primal Alicorns, came to an agreement.

Eighteen hours later, the world had been divided between all of them.

Gold Crown would get the Capital City of Alicornia and the surrounding six Cities.

Ironhoof would get the land called Equis, where three tribes of mortals squabbled over the land.

Galebreath would get the land to East, also inhabited by mortals with wings and beaks.

Conquered Frost would get the newly claimed land to the South-east, that belonged to the Dragons.

The other four were satisfied with remaining on the Counsel and commanding the land already claimed by the Counsel before.

And thus the age of two names began.

Some called it the age of Growth.

Others Called it the Age of Tyranny.

Canterlot Peak

Silver Haze opened his eyes, he groaned as he felt his body beg for energy, he was hungry and drained...his eyes shot opened again when he remembered WHY he was so tired. Silver forced himself back onto his hooves. He didn't even have the power to call his blade to him, he walked towards the edge of the rocky ground he stood on and gasped when he looked over the edge.

Canterlot was overrun, he saw fire and death consume the city, two more Corrupted Dragons were in the city, most of the Castle was now laying in the streets below...Silver was shocked by a voice beside him.

"A shame yes...but we should not linger, they will find us soon enough, I was only able to take us so far away." Silver turned to see the Phantom image of Rightful beside him.

"You...BASTARD!" Silver yelled as he threw himself at Rightful and promptly flew right threw him and landed on the other side.

"How long will it take you to understand I cannot be physically hurt by you?" Rightful said with a sigh. Silver was furious.

"YOU LET HER DIE! HOW DARE YOU!" He screamed at Rightful, who was calm and collected.

"This one is on you Silver. I had no choice but to stop you, you would have destroyed not only you, but me as well and I'm sorry but I do not share your opinion that one pegasi mare, even a bearer, is worth that of another Bearer and an Awoken Element as well." Rightful's comment made him furious, but Rightful did not stop.

"You had more then one opportunity to share in my power, tell me Silver, how different would that fight have been if you had been able to tap into my true power? You could have leveled Canterlot, but instead, we flee from it. Now come, if we have any hope of getting back to our real home we must leave now." Rightful turned to move away, but Silver did not.

"No...no Rightful, I'm not going anywhere...I'm going to avenge her, even if it kills me." Silver said, causing Rightful to roll his eyes.

"Before you go charging to your death, can I remind you that YOUR Fluttershy is still very much alive? We are in another universe, somewhere out there, your Fluttershy is waiting for you." Rightful said, his phantom sitting down by the mountain. "Hm, I can feel them, they just found us, well, we are dead. It's a shame. Thanks for everything bearer. I'm glad of all the beings in the universe I was stuck with you." Rightful sighed as he leaned back and got conferable, as Silver struggled to summon his blade and hold it in front of him.

Silver sighed. "Well, I think this is it Rightful...you know what, If I'm gonna be honest, I have to say thanks, I guess when I look back, you tried to help me and I wasn't very cooperative in return...so even though you are still a genocidal madpony...thanks, I guess." Silver said with a shrug. Causing Rightful to look up confused at Silver before sighing.

"Tassvun Suv'e I was more then happy to die with us just sort of half hating each other, but fine, if you wish to go out now as NOT foes, I shall state that you were not the most...intolerable of all those who bore the Element before you." Rightful said with a huff.

The Shades charged up the cliff, as the first reached Silver, he managed to swing the blade around hard enough to knock the Shade off the cliff. "Really? Huh, I never really gave any thought to that there were other who bared the seventh element before me." Silver said as he stabbed another Shade who had got too close.

Rightful nodded "Not many of my Bearers do. Been everywhere across the known world, been passed from Grifonia all the way to the Heart of the Badlands. Visiting the sites of my sin, if you would allow an old Alicorn to get poetically nostalgic for a moment." The phantom Alicorn stood up and stood beside Silver who brought his blade up to block those of two Shades. Before being pushed back himself, Silver looked over his shoulder to see that he was out of room, one more step and it would be a long way down.

Silver dropped his blade.

He was tired.

It was his time.

Silver closed his eyes.

Suddenly, a loud crack sounded as a purple portal appeared behind him, and two purple hooves and two yellow hooves pulled Silver into the portal.

Before the portal closed, two scaly purple claws grabbed Silver's blade and pulled it through as well. As the portal closed Rightful smiled as he felt his soul pulling him to return to Silver. Before he was dispelled to travel through space, he took a moment to sit down at the edge of the cliff, and watch the sun set over the overrun city.

Equestria
Current time

Silver awoke in a hospital room, he noticed that a butter yellow hoof held his own, he was still groggy, but Silver gave the hoof a little squeeze, causing the owner to gasp, he heard somepony call for a doctor Silver was so tired he decided he would just go back to sleep...just for a while longer.

Fluttershy looked over the brused and battered body of Silver Haze, his mane hung limp around his head, his eyes twitched, haunted by nightmares they could not see. She still held his hoof, trying to bring him some comfort. The doctor walked in and shook his head.

"Well...it looks bad. His body and mind are damaged, we haven't seen anything like this before at this hospital, we are trying to bring in as many specialists as possible, but we lack the means to heal him. Blood magic...is a very taboo subject, how to treat those who suffer from it's negative symptoms are not something that ponies talk about in public." The Doctor explained to Fluttershy, who just nodded sadly, thanking the Doctor for his time, the Doctor just nodded before walking away.

Fluttershy let a tear run down her face, what could she do? Nothing...she just had to hope he improved.

Suddenly, Flutershy felt a presence in the room, she turned and gasped at the bright yellow phantom Alicorn who stood in the room. She backed away from it, but it did not seem interested in her, it walked towards Silver and placed a phantom hoof on his chest, the Alicorn looked at her, but Fluttershy didn't understand.

The Alicorn pursed her lips, tapping her chin as if trying to think of another way to show something. Suddenly she smiled, she pointed to a card in Silver's bedside table, then pointed at Silver. Fluttershy walked over and suddenly understood what the Phantom Alicorn was trying to say.

Fluttershy picked up the get-well-soon card, it was simple, with the saying "Keep Hope up!" On the front.

"You...you're saying...last time Silver was injured...Hope...he healed Silver! So...so to save Silver I just need to find somepony who knows about the type of magic Hope used!" Fluttershy said as she looked towards the Phantom yellow Alicorn, who nodded enthusiastically.

Fluttershy smiled "and I know just the pony..."

Fluttershy entered Ponyville Library, she took a deep breath as she approached the table where a purple Alicorn was reading a book. She licked her lips, but before she could call out to Twilight, she spoke first.

"Hello Fluttershy. What do you want." Twilight said in a deadpan voice. Fluttershy sighed.

"Twilight. Enough. I need your help" Fluttershy said, not able to hold back her anger, Twilight wasn't going to push her away this time, she was going to get the help she needed regardless on if Twilight wanted to give it or not.

"Enough of what Fluttershy? Please, don't LIE to me, tell me what I have done enough of?" Twilight said, somehow mocking her without leaving her deadpan voice.

Fluttershy wasn't going to bite the bate "It's Silver, I found out how to help him." Twilight stopped for a moment, her page half-way turned.

"Oh? Hm, well if you came to invite me to his second 'welcome back from the dead' party, I'm not interested." Twilight said, returning to her book.

Fluttershy sighed. "Twilight...the only way to heal him is Order Magic...and there is only three ponies who could wield it, Celestia and Luna, who are in the Griffon empire and you, we don't know how long he'll last like this, if we wait...it might be too late." Fluttershy pleaded.

Twilight frowned, sighing as she got up and put a bookmark in her book. Turning to the door and walking past Fluttershy. "Fine. Lets go."

Fluttershy was surprised. "You-you'll help him? Oh! Twilight tha-" Fluttershy was cut off.

"I'm not doing this for you and with Celestia as my witness I am not doing this for HIM. He is a pony in need, I am going to help him, nothing else, you understand Fluttershy? This changes nothing between me and him and even LESS between you and me. You understand." Twilight said, her Alicorn height beginning to come in as she was now a very noticeable amount taller then Fluttershy as she gazed angrily down at her.

Fluttershy just smiled. "I understand...thank you Twilight." Twilight sighed and shook her head, her anger vanishing slightly.

"you...you are welcome Fluttershy. Now come on...let's go pay Prince Haze a visit."

Silver groaned as he felt his eyes open, he saw a yellow pegisi leaning over him, he was still groggy.

"Fl...Fluttershy? Is...are you ok?" Silver managed to croak out. She nodded and hugged him.

She whispered into his ear. "Now that you're back...it's all OK."

The two of them laid there for a while, no words, just contact...just enjoying each others company.

A week later

Silver sighed as he tried to rap his head around what he was being told. "So wait...you are telling me that...I was kidnapped and brought to some anchent ruin? Then pushed through a portal? Then you managed to reactivate it and pull me back?" Everypony in the room nodded, the Elements as well as Princess Luna and Celestia were present, as well as Spike, who was sitting beside Silver on his hospital bed.

Silver rubbed his temples "And most importantly, EVERYPONY escaped before any of you found out who they were? How did that even hap-" Silver felt a poking on his side and turned to see Spike holding up one of silver's empty focusing gems for rune-making, giving him a puppy dog look, Silver smiled and nodded as he rubbed the spines on Spike's head as he ate the gem before continuing. "...how did that even happen?"

Everypony looked around, trying to find the answer. Twilight spoke up.

"Well, Prince Haze, we had to focus on stabilizing the portal if we ever wanted to have a chance of bringing you back, they took the opportunity to make a swift escape." Silver nodded at Twilight's comment.

"Alright...so everypony...what is our next move?" Everypony looked towards Celestia who sighed.

"The Fog has slowed down, whatever happened recently has it moving slowly, it has even withdrawn from some areas...we need to take this time to take a breath, prepare and hope that when the Fog decides to go back onto the offensive...we are prepared for it." Everypony solemnly nodded.

Silver looked out the window, seeing the sun in the sky, he took a deep breath, he had a feeling this would be his last breather for a while, he felt a sense of impending doom, soon, the Fog would attack again and it would not end until something gave...he would have to make every moment count.

Silver smiled at the group in front of him.

"So, when does the party start?" Silver said, before he could even blink, Pinkie Pie had pulled out a party cannon and fired it right into his face, by the time he got the confetti off of his face, the room was covered in decorations and the party was somehow already under way.

Also, somehow, there was a party hat on both his and Spike's head. They both shrugged.

Everypony seemed to be enjoying themselves, even Twilight seemed to be enjoying herself, even if she was going out of her way to not show it.

Silver smiled as he stood up, he might as well party as if it was gonna be his last.

Author's Notes:

Happy 100,000 word chapter everyone!

10 MORE CHAPTERS UNTIL ACT III OF HAZE IN EQUESTRIA ENDS

(Yes, the end of ACT III Does singnal the end of the HIEQ2:TOL story.)

Have a good day everyone, see you all in the future, this has been an amazing journey to 100,000 words, more then 10x the original Silver Haze. I never thought Silver Haze, the little idea from a dream back when I just discovered Fimfiction.net and fanfiction as a whole, would one day inspire so many ideas.

(Also, if anyone wants to submit their OC's to be in a Haze in Equestria, send me a PM, lets just say in the future, the need for lots of new characters may be needed...that's all the hints you get!
