Dark Heart's POV

I'm glad I'm finally out of that infernal prison, but I didn't expect to be released one thousand years into the future *sigh* oh well I guess I'm just going to have to do as Princess Celestia says and listen to her student and her friends, although I do gotta say that I'm glad that Princess Luna is back to normal. I actually find it kinda silly that I thought about holding a grudge against her of all ponies, especially since she's the only one that knows the hardships of wielding black magic.

"Equestria to Dark Heart, you're needed back here with the rest of us ponies." I heard the pink one say, bringing me out of my thoughts and frantically waving her hands in front of my face. I grabbed both of her hands when they were right in front of me, effectively stopping their motions.

"Could you not do that?"I said in an even tone. I really didn't really feel like really doing anything else today other than getting a bite to eat and going to sleep, maybe then I'll be in a better mood than I am now.

"Well it seems somepony is little moody doesn't it?" the rainbow maned pegasus ask.

"Would you be in a good mood if had been been imprisoned for a thousand and find out that everything that you ever knew is gone?" I asked somewhat irritable.

They all seemed to have been silenced for now, whether if it was because they were actually thinking of answer or because they felt bad for me I don't care, but I'm happy that I've managed to buy myself a few more moments peace before I have to start having to dealing with their countless questions and explanations of other things and all the rest of the crap that comes with all of this time travel jargon.

"So. . . . why did Nightmare think that she could bribe ya into helping her?" The mare with the southern accent and stetson hat asked.

"She had the great idea that she'd be able to buy me off with the promise of respect and ruling by her side as her husband and king, could you actually believe that?" I asked exasperatedly, but all I got in response was silence. I looked to my side to see that they had all stopped dead in their tracks a little ways behind me. "What?"

They stood their in silence with wide-eyed, open-mouthed looks on their faces. I waved my hands in front of them to try and elicit some kind of response but in return I got nothing. "I think you might have broke them Dark Heart." I heard Nova say.

"Yah I figured that but I want to know how." I went over to the pink one and gently poked her in the eye to see if can snap them out of it with pain but when I did she didn't seem to do anything.

"So you seriously don't know what could have caused this huh," Shadow asked sounding skeptical, as a answer I just shook my head "You dumbass, they froze up like that because you just told them that Nightmare Moon, the same mare they thought of as a heartless demon, had tried to court you." He explained. My only response was an "Ooooooooh" before I went to remedy the situation.

"I know it's shocking to hear, but it's true and if you don't believe me you can go ask Luna right now and have her tell you herself because I'm pretty sure that she remembers that." I told them so that they could come back from their shock induced trances. I watched as Celestia's student shook her head trying to regain her composure before she looked back to me and looked as though she was going to ask me something when my ears suddenly perked up and I heard a high pitched whistling sound coming from somewhere but I couldn't pinpoint the exact direction it was coming from. I heard the lavender mare saying something but I didn't hear exactly what was as I zeroed in on where the noise was coming and what it might be and it got louder I started to realize what it was and quickly turned around and went into a shielding position as I spread out my arms and legs to cover as wide an area that I could with my body, I knew what was coming but with the dragon and the rest of the mares, that weren't the lavender unicorn, still frozen in shock I had no choice but take the actions I already have.

Suddenly the window in front of us broken and a spear came directly towards us, or to be more precise towards me as I was standing the way of it and its true trajectory which would have been the shy, buttercream pegasus that was in the middle of the group. Being in the path of the fast moving projectile, it came as no surprise when it managed to impale itself into my right shoulder and it stayed there.

"AAAAAHHHH!!" was the only response that I could come up with as I gripped my shoulder that now had a new addition to it. I grimaced from the pain that now coursed itself through my that part of my, that is until I heard an all too familiar voice come from the shattered window, and the gasp from everypony present only helped to confirm my suspicions.

"Long time no see, eh Dark Heart?" I heard Spirit say. Everypony looked to me, they were suspecting that he wasn't a friendly judging by the looks on their faces, and I looked towards to dragon and look family rival with an uninterested look.

"Well well well, if it isn't 'Spirit the Cowardly Dragon', how have you been? Run away from fight pissing yourself recently?" I insulted him hoping the get him going so as to give me a reason to put his head on silver platter right now and fucking eat it. Speaking of which I've just began to notice that I'm hungry, maybe I could eat him afterwards; strange for a pony to want to eat meat, I know, but my the dragon part of my Darkness form has given me some cravings for a lot of non-pony like dietary needs, such as a hankering for meat.

I was in the middle of thinking about my new and strange eating habits when a violet fireball crashed on the ground a few inches in front of me. Undeterred by the close proximity of the blast I looked up at the scowling dragon that was staring at me. "What the hell do you want you pest?" I asked angrily.

He harden his gaze before he spoke, "You didn't hear a fucking thing I said, did you you son of bitch." he responded just as angrily as he looked.

"Nope." I said with a simple shrug.

He looked like to be fuming by this point, as smoke started pouring out of his nostrils as he opened his mouth to repeat himself. "I said that I'm not here to engage you in a fight, at least not right now, I just wanted to let you know that we have unfinished business that needs to be settled and believe me when I say I plan on ending this really soon." he said irritably.

One of my brows hiked up in an amused manner as I watched him fume up just from the fact that I wasn't responding to his weak attempt at a threat and trying to stifle back a laugh as I found his temper tantrum hilarious but judging from the look on his face I wasn't doing a very good job at it.

Finally having successfully fighting back my laughter that was trying to escape my throat I finally offered up what I thought was an appropriate response to what he had told me, "Dude I can't take you seriously when you throw a temper tantrum like a little filly." Totally the appropriate response.

Judging by the way he was clenching his fist I would say that I was right in my assumption. "You know what? I might as well as not even bother telling anything to you seeing as how you wouldn't care in the slightest, even if I was a god I'm know that you wouldn't take any of this seriously. That still doesn't mean that I'm not going to leave without giving you a parting gift." Spirit said with an evil smile replacing his frown.

"Aaaaahhhh, you didn't have to do that for me, but since you went out of your way to get me something I might as well as accept it." I falsely swooned at the mention of a parting gift.

His grin turned even more sinister before he raised his left claw, which was clenched, and opened it up to reveal a chain made of light. I followed the length of the chain from his claw until my eyes landed on the back end of the spear that was still lodged in my shoulder and it was then that I realized what his 'gift' to me was before turning my gaze back towards him.

"Oh no worries Dark Heart, it really wasn't any trouble at all to find something to give to you," He said before he closed his claws to firmly grasped the chain before extending his arm towards in my direction. "I hope you enjoy it." Right after he said that, he threw his arm back with all of his strength and the spear, that was in my arm, was soaring through the air and back towards him.
"Aaarrrggg! Fuck that actually hurt you dick!" I growled as he flew off into the distance, laughing like a bloody maniac.

A few minutes after he'd left the guards showed up. "They're a little aren't do you think?" Yeah no fucking kidding, where the hell were they when he showed up.

I was planning on getting up and laying into them but I was stopped by a firm but gentle hand being pressed against my uninjured shoulder. "You shouldn't move around that wound is pretty serious and moving around could cause you to lose more blood." The shy pegasus said as she tried to get me down to a sitting position and began to examine my gaping hole left behind from the spear.

"I'm fine I've gotten plenty of injures worst than this without much treatment and I'm still perfectly fine. I do have the dark magic on my side after all." I said calmly and as if on cue dark magical energy started materializing and wrap around the injury and a feeling of relief spread over me as it soothed away the pain.

I remained sitting on the ground as my dark magic did its thing and continued replacing and repairing all of the damaged muscle and nerves in my shoulder. The girls had stayed by my side after the purple one sent the dragon to go get the medical staff despite my protest. "You know that was really brave of ya to use yourself to shield us like that." I heard the country mare say, breaking the uncomfortable silence that had washed over us like darkness of the night.

"Meh, it was nothing really, as I said before I've gone through worse." I said dismissively.

This seemed to elicit shocked faces from them before the rainbow one spoke up. What do you mean it was nothing, nopony else would have done that without being hesitating on deciding to do something like that, but you just did it without a second thought." She said with an unusual enthusiasm though I was quick to dismiss that as well.

"Well of course any other pony would have hesitated, but then again they also don't have the privilege of wielding black magic without it corrupting them; and they also don't have the kind of intense training that I put myself through daily and therefore wouldn't be used to the pain that came with taking that spear like that." I explained as if though this should have common knowledge to everypony.

They stole glances at each other before they focused their gazes back on me. "You know there's no need for you to be so modest darling, after all you did manage to hold your own against the princesses and Nightmare Moon all on your own, and that dragon, Spirit if I recall correctly, seemed to be genuinely afraid of you." The white unicorn persisted, I only groaned in response.

What is up with these mares, can't they see that I don't do this crap for the recognition, seriously though I would have figured they be able to get that message right away but apparently being upfront about it wasn't getting through to their heads, I sighed inwardly at this whole thing Whatever I guess I'll just deal with it.

The dragon came back with some medic ponies as I finished my thoughts. They went to check up on my shoulder but couldn't get a clear view of it as the black aura was still there. They asked me If I could remove it so that they see what the damage that had been done, and of course of I refused seeing as though it would be a waste of time since my magic was already doing their job for them, yet they insisted on it.

I was going to continue to protest but then I felt the familiar sensation of closing wounds and relinquished the argument to them. "Alright fine, I'll remove my dark magic." I said with false irritation. I removed the dark cloak around my shoulder only get gasp from everypony. "See what did tell you I am perfectly fine, so now will you stop pestering me?" My question went unanswered for a couple of minutes before one of the medical staff finally spoke up.

"B- b- b- but how if what the drake told us was true then there should be a three-inch hole in shoulder." She stuttered out. I shrugged before giving her a response.

"It's just one of the benefits of being able use dark magic unabided." I gave out as simple response, but apparently they still weren't satisfied with that seeing how they asked me to allow them to do a quick check up of my shoulder to make sure everything was in working order and that I was healthy. Not wanting to have to argue with them again I decided to just let them but was surprised when it only took about ten minutes instead of an hour like I was suspecting. After they had finished they said that I was an excellent health, like I was worried, and departed down one of corridors. As soon as they left the group came back and shot out the question I was suspecting to ask, seeing as nearly everyone does.

"How did you heal yourself so quickly, surely black magic isn't that powerful." Celestia's pupil ask me.

"Listen unicorn, as much as I would love to go into the all of intricate workings of my both of my magics, I'm really tired and really hungry and my cravings sure as hell aren't making things any better for me. So can we please just get to wherever it is we're going so that I could get some rest, and perhaps get rid of these strange craving in the process." snapped at her. I was really getting sick and tired of having to stop every minutes for stupid crap.

"Yeah I guess we can get going to Ponyville. We're going to have to take train so you should be able to rest once we're abroad." The mare responded fearfully. I'd admit I felt a little guilt wash over me after hearing the fear in her voice.

"Okay thanks. . . . um sorry for snapping like that. . .it's just today hasn't exactly been pleasant and I'm a little irritable right now-"

"A little? the rainbow one interrupted.

"Fine, I'm pretty irritable, so could you just work with me, at least until I can get some rest and food in me?" I asked with as soft a voice as I could manage.

"It's alright, I understand that you're going through a lot right now and you want to relax, so there's no need to worry. I'm Twilight by the way, Twilight Sparkle." Twilight introduced herself before extending a hand in greeting.

"Well it's nice to meet you Twilight and. . thanks for being so understanding, you have no idea what it means to me." I said as I shook the hand she offered.

After we pulled away hands to rest at our sides we headed off towards the castle entrance, which didn't take too long to find, and headed off towards this train station place that she was talking about. When we got there I saw this huge metal carriage that seem to have multiple compartments that dozens of ponies were filing out and in them. I stared at this thing in awe and was examining it's features when I heard a country accent and knocking me out of my awe-induced trance.

"I take it they didn't have trains during your time?" the country mare asked.

"No they did not." I responded while keeping my eyes glued on the front this mechanical behemoth. I felt tugging at my left arm to find the pink one tugging at it.

"Well then come on silly and you can take a look inside." She said while trying to drag me along with her. As amusing as I found her fruitless efforts I decided to start walking in the direction of the rest of the group that were standing in front of a ticket booth.

"So you need tickets to board this thing huh, well I guess there has someway to make sure somepony isn't able to just sneak on the train without paying." I commented before we headed towards one of the train compartments.

We made our way inside and took a seat wherever, they decided to sit together while I sat a few seats more towards the back. I took a look at the inside of the train car noting how comfortable it was in here, especially the seats, as I was beginning to become drowsing. I found myself slipping from consciousness and into the realm of dreams, or the realm of nightmares in my case.

Third Person POV

"It would look as though he's already fallen asleep," Rarity commented as she looked back to Dark Heart. "The poor dear, it must be hard for him to learn that his parents are gone."

"I think I might, he seems to love his family as much as I do and I would be devastated I were to learn that I've sealed away for thousand years to learn that my all of my friends and family were no longer around." Twilight said, sadness creeping into her tone at just the mere thought of it.

"And that's not to mention that he just got impaled by that dragon back at the castle too. I wonder how knew that it was coming in the first place." Rainbow Dash added in.

"What I find to be more shocking than any of that is the thing he said about Nightmare Moon had gave him the offer of being his somepony." Rarity commented with more than a little shock emanate in her tone. This got a nod from the rest of the girls and Spike.

"I wonder if he would've taken her up on the offer if Equestria's fate laid in the mix. Like maybe if she had been good and just went out to find him and she told him she love him and wanted to make him happy, or some other nonsense like that." This made the girls turn their gaze towards him before looking back to Dark Heart and then look to Spike again and looking as if he had solve to most difficult math equation in history.

"Ah reckon that could very well be a possibility, in fact ah did notice that he was staring at Luna mighty funny like when he finally calmed down." The others all made murmurs of agreement before Fluttershy spoke up.

"I don't think we should make assumptions about Dark Heart's love life while he's asleep it seems rude. Plus we all just met him and still have no idea what he's like or the kind of mares he's into." Fluttershy said wanting to end the gossiping before it grew out of hand.

Before any of them could say anything else they started hearing somepony mumbling about something but with them being the only ones in the train car and Dark Heart asleep they didn't know where it was coming from. They decided to look around the compartment but found nothing but as Pinkie Pie took a closer look at Dark Heart she noticed that he was squirming around on the seat and the look of discomfort on his face. She made a gesture with her hands to beckon the rest of the group over to them.

"No no. . . get away from her. . . . mom run don't worry about me. . . . mom? Mom!?. . . MOM!. . . NO, GET AWAY FROM MY MOTHER!!!! . . . . NOOOO!!!" Dark Heart's eyes suddenly sprung open and he quickly sat up, nearly head butting Pinkie, and was breathing heavily.

Dark Heart's POV

"Oh good, it was just one of my nightmares. I swear they get worse everyday." Dark Heart sighed before looking up and seeing the concerned looks on everyponies face.

There was a moment of silence before any of them said anything to him. "Are you alright Dark Heart, you looked like you were having a pretty bad nightmare." the shy one asked.

"Yeah, I'm alright it was just another one of the countless nightmares that plague my dreamscape, it's nothing none of you can do anything about." I told them, but of course, as I've come to expect from them, they pressed the matter on further.

"Come on, there must be something we can do for you, maybe you'd like us to send a letter to Princess Luna to see if she can get rid of them if you've had others in the past?" Twilight asked me.

"No, it wouldn't work even she can't get rid of these nightmares."

"What? Why not?" the rainbow-maned one asked.

"Because she's already tried and it was only a short-term solution so there's no point in asking her, and besides I've lived with these nightmares for most of my life, so there's no harm that they could cause me, at least not anymore. Anyway now that I'm nice and rested I would like to know the names of the mares, and dragon, that I'm going to be learning from." I wanted to change the subject quickly, because I really didn't want to explain the 'Endless Nightmares' thing right now, especially since I didn't even know any of their names, well none except Twilight of course.

"Well Ah'm Applejack and me, along with my big brother, little sister, and Granny Smith, run Sweet Apple Acres, the biggest apple farms in all of Equestria as well as the Element of Honesty." Applejack greeted first, along with a handshake, a strong and firm handshake by the feel of the grip I felt on my hand.

"Hiya, my name's Pinkie Pie, the Element of Laughter, and I love to throw parties and making ponies happy, I also love to eat sweets, and fun, and balloons, and- I cut her off by placing a finger on her lips before she had the chance to continue on any further.

"Alright Pinkie, I get it you like a lot of thing and am extremely energetic, and it's nice to you." I said as way of greeting.

"With that aside I am Rarity an up and coming fashion designer, the Element of Generosity, and it's nice to meet you Dark Heart." She introduced.

"Well it's nice to meet you too Rarity, though I got the fashion designer thing from the fact that you had offered to make me a new outfit earlier." I told her before I took one of her hands and kissed the back of it.

"So you can be a gentlecolt after all." She quipped. I just rolled my eyes in response before turning my attention towards to shy pegasus that seem to be using her mane to hide from me.

"And may I ask what your name is oh reclusive one." I know that's probably not the best way to make a pony fell comfortable around you, but hey I've never been very good at offering anypony comfort in their times of need.

"I'm. . . uh . . Fluttershy." She squeaked, I guess for any pony they would have had a hard time hearing her, but luckily I got trained ears so I did manage to hear her name, but just barely.

I decided to not try to get her to repeat herself, seeing as she seems terrified, and decide to just offer my hand for her to shake; should she decide to that is. "You don't have to be scared of me Fluttershy, I only hunt down bad ponies and even then I don't automatically turn to violence, but I understand if that doesn't calm you down any." I said in the friendliest voice I could possibly muster which, judging by how much of her face was now uncovered, must have actually been pretty damn friendly.

I stared at her while she unveiled more than half of her face before she shakily extended out a hand. "H- h- hi Dark Heart, I am the Element of Kindness. . . . I hope that we can b- be- become good friends." She stuttered out, still sounding terrified about being around me.

I didn't respond, hoping not to scare her any more than she already was, and just went to shake her hand with my own but before I could make contact she flinched away. I just kept my hand where it was to see if she would take it and after a couple of minutes she eventually did, and with one firm shake I let go.

I stepped away from Fluttershy and was going to look around to see if I had missed anyone when I felt another grip take hold of my shoulder and spin me around so that I was looking directly at the reckless rainbow-maned pegasus.

"Of course you saved the best for last, hey I'm Rainbow Dash, I represent the Element of Loyalty. I am the fastest pegasus ever and future Wonderbolt." Rainbow Dash proclaimed brashly, to which I tsk'ed and shook my head. "What!? What did I say to get that kind of response?"

"Oh nothing it's just that's a rather bold thing to claim without any proof, and if it true I may know the fastest pony in all of Equestria is." I stated. She glared at me like I just stole her puppy or something like that, which tells me that she doesn't like it when ponies step on her pride, hmm this should prove fun for me in the long run I do always love to knock ponies off their pedestals and put them in their place, though I may not be that much of a dick about with Rainbow Dash, especially if she can show me just how fast she actually is.

"I don't know if you realize this or not but everypony you knew is dead and has been for a long time now." She stated coldly.

"Oh ho. . . ho. . . we got a fighter here. I think you're right, we can have some fun with messing with her mind in later days, eh Dark Heart?" Oooh he has no idea.

"Behave you two these ladies are our guide, so be nice or else." Nova threatened.

"Or else what Nova, you're going to drag the both of us into the Heart's pocket dimension and kick our asses." I stated plainly.

"Yes." came her simple response. I merely rolled my eyes at her antics before turning my concentration back to the pony in front of me, who was now looking at me like I gone insane. I took a look around to see that they were all giving me the exact same look as Rainbow Dash.

"What?" I finally asked.

"Who are you talking to Dark Heart, because I don't any other in here and none of us are named Nova. Not unless somepony suddenly got a name change." Twilight asked looking concerned about my well being.

"Oh. . . well . . . you see thanks to my circumstances, my black magic and the Heart of Light have left me with additional luggage and the names to those luggages are Shadow and Nova. Shadow is the spirit of the darkness that lies within me, he came into being when I was ten years old and been a rather bothersome creature, but he's almost like brother to me now so I wouldn't get rid of him even if I could. Nova, like Shadow, is also a spirit. She resides within the Heart and has been since my ancestors first obtained it. She's helped me to learn how to better control my dark power as well as taking control of the energy flow of the amulet for whenever I'm in combat and need the Heart to purify somepony but must first immobilize them. She helped me during my battle with Nightmare Moon by building up the energy needed to purify her heart but I didn't take into account her nightmare magic until it was too late." I explained to the group who still appeared to be unable to comprehend the information.

I decided to take a seat next to the dragon, considering he's the only one left who has yet to introduce himself, and nudged his side to get his attention. "Hey, Equestria to the purple and green dragon you are needed for introductions." I said as I waved my hands in front of his face which didn't seem to be working. I eventually gave up as he didn't appear to be escaping out of his trance.

"You're saying that you share your body with two spirits?" I finally heard Rainbow Dash ask which seem to knock the others out of it as well as they seem to want to pay attention to what my answer is.

I sigh before I said anything. "Not really, Nova's home resides within the Heart of Light, as I said before, and Shadow. . . well technically I do share my body with him, but he's unable actually take control of it unless I let him and we both know that that's not going to happen unless there's an emergency and even then he wouldn't have full control of my power." It seemed that they understood that more than my last explanation.

"Do the princesses know about Nova and Shadow?" Twilight asked.

"Kinda, I had told them of Shadow's existence and my mother told them about Nova's, but I don't think they know exactly how the situation with that works out."

They still perplexed but at not as much as they were a moment ago. "So. . . . does anypony mind telling the name this guy or are you just going to keep me wondering?" I said pointing at the dragon.

"Hmm. . oh sorry, my name is Spike, I'm Twilight's number one assistant, and her very first friend, next to Shining Armor and Princess Cadence of course." Spike stated having finally coming out of his stupor, too bad I wasn't pay all that much attention to him. My mind was once again turning my focus back to yet again craving meat.

"Aaaargh, these damn cravings are gonna drive up the damn wall!" I shouted out loud my frustration.

"Um. . . what's wrong? What exactly are ya craving that is making ya so angry?" Applejack asked me, obviously concerned.

"I really don't think any of you really want to know what these particular cravings are for, but I will tell you that it's a part of a dragon's diet." I told her hoping that none of them are push on any further.

"Well I would think you were talking about eating gems but I highly doubt that that's what you're talking about, so come on just tell us what it is maybe we can help you find whatever it is you're craving, and we won't take no for an answer." Rainbow Dash, which is no surprise, decided to yet again curse the fact that these mares just don't know how to give up.

"Alright, but don't try calling me a monster and blaming me if you're somehow scarred from my next words, but since you're so persistent. . . the thing I've been craving to eat for the last. . . I would five-hundred thirteen years is. . . . meat." There now that's secret out but lets see how they handle it. . . . hmm they seem to be taking it quite well all I see are looks of discomfort and regret and here I was suspecting that they would run away from me, meh oh well I guess it will be easier to explain this to them.

Before I could explain the situation to them Fluttershy, which is a shock to me, was first to speak up. "Y-y-you're kidding right? This is just some kind of sick joke you're playing on us. . . right?" She asked fearfully and I shook my head she seemed lose her coloring.

"Believe me Fluttershy I wish it was but alas thanks to the dragon half of my Darkness Form I've grown an acquired taste for the flesh of other creatures. I've been able to keep it under control all this time, but after Spirit showed up I've been thinking about ripping him apart with my claws and devouring his heart, heh it's actually kinda funny if you consider the fact of how calm I acted back there." I let a half-hearted laugh, thinking of how damn cruel genetics and instincts can be sometimes.

When I looked back up I saw that they were all sporting eyes as wide as dinner plates that showed how much fear laid in them. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, I mean accepting a black magic wielding unicorn, easy, but accepting a carnivorous one, wwweeelllll.... that maybe a bit harder to grasp on to. Though I didn't count on them jumping back when I took a step forward to go take back my seat at the back of the car, but it happened and I guess I was just going to have to deal with it as I decided to just continue on towards the back and sat down so that I could relax for as long as I could before we got to our stop. Which, unfortunately for me, was only about ten minutes and I saw that the girls and Spike had all already bailed out before I could stand up and I saw clouds of smoke from where they once were.

"Well there goes the 'trying make friends' plan. Whatever I could just find out about this place on my own, it's not like I'm not already used to doing shit on my own." I say to nopony in particular as I stepped of the trian. I took a look around taking in the sites of Ponyville before exiting the train station and began wandering around the town, which was hell of a lot smaller than Neighburg, but it was also a nice looking town too I wonder if this was around back then because I so would have tried to convince my parents to move here instead of living in piece of crap that was my hometown.

I didn't even bother looking for the gang seeing how they would probably just run from me again after hearing that I eat meat, which reminds me I seriously need to find a griffon or another dragon that actually knows how to hunt and see if they have anything for me to eat. But after taking a glance at the sky, I saw that the sun was lowering which meant that is was getting late and I wouldn't be able to find anybody before they closed up shop, even I were to try and magically enhance my body to make myself even faster, I'm too unfamiliar with this place to just go exploring, especially with that Everfree forest nearby, until I learn enough about how it and the town works, it would best if I played it safe. . . for a couple of weeks.

I started to look for a suitable place to sleep before it got too dark out here and while exploring I manage to spot a decent size hill with a tree at the top of it that was a just outside of town. "Perfect." I stated as I made my while over to said hill. When I got there I examined the area under the tree and found it to be satisfactory and laid down on the ground, looking up at Luna's night sky and admiring its beauty. "I guess I could understand why Luna would feel unappreciated by nopony gazing upon the masterpiece that she puts together every night, it's just simply magnificent." I say before allowing myself to fall into sleep's embrace for the second and final time for today.
