(CONTINUE FLASHBACK!)

We have been running for some time now. It seemed that there wasn't an end for this nightmare. The group of foals aren't like me, walking for hours without food, water, or sleep was something their little bodies couldn't handle.

We made a pause when the hallway split in two ways. There wasn't any indication or sight that would say what lies beyond each of them. Looking at the kids again I saw some of them panting heavy, taking one last glance at each hallway to make sure there aren't any guards coming after us I decide a course of action.

"We are gonna stop here and rest." I said to the group of foals. They fell on their hunches or simply let their bodies fell to the hard floor, while the ones that are carrying the youngest decide to sit with their back against the wall on the hallway slowly while trying to calm the youngest ones. Then the shouts of fear began.

It changed so fast, one moment everything was bright and peaceful. Everything was made of dark blue crystals that seemed to shine a little in the dark... and then? It all changed and now all I see is a dark hallways that is barely lit by my ice sword. I know that It is a great give away of our position to the enemy, but I cant let those foals wander without seeing where they are going. Those dark crystals... they emanate pure corruption and darkness.

After seeing that nothing bad happened to the kids who where all huddled together on one side of the hallway I voiced my thoughts. "Rest, and try to stay quiet. We don't want to get caught, so please try to be as quiet as possible." I whisper to the children, all of them gave slow nods, not even trying to make eye contact with me. The sight almost broke my heart, how they where all huddled together while sobbing quietly. I really wanted to soot them but I couldn't, I needed to be on attention for any danger. I could hear some of the youngest ask about a room we passed after we began our escape. The ones that knew what lied inside began to shred new tears while saying 'nothing.' or the like.

During our escape we found another room, I tell the kids to stay put and don't enter. When I saw inside I knew that It was too late to help the adults trapped in it, those monsters didn't even let one of them alive. I tried to see if any of them was alive but none where, during my inspection some of the oldest of the group of children came when they saw that there wasn't any kind of monster or sound of fighting. I wont forget how they began to call for some of the adults that where chained to the walls, expecting them to move and acknowledge their presence. I was forced to carry them out of the room, it was good that none of the kids outside decide to enter in there but those that did... I don't want to think about it more than I have to...

How did everything turned like this? From being in a world that was supposed to be sunshine and rainbows...

A world where there are smiles everywhere, a world where there is a good ruler. A world where children could play without fear of the darkness, a world where killing's almost unheard off...

Where is it now? What happen to that world? Does a world like that even exist? I remember the show, but... could it really be? that in a thousand years everything would be just like Lance wanted it to? Could that world be real? Or did my presence change everything?.

I shake my head, this thoughts aren't for a time like this. I made my way and rest my shirtless back against the cold dark crystal wall. Letting my eyes linger in the dark.

I cant get the feeling of insanity away, I can feel it all around me, the kids can feel it but they don't know what it is. I can see some of them snapping their little heads and darting their little eyes to the shadows, as if something was going to jump on them at any second.

I put a blank face and began to think about my situation, and the state of the castle I seem to be inside.

The training during my first year in the guard made me understand the basics of unicorn magic, how it works, and how to feel it. Magic is everywhere in Equestria, everything have an magical aura. They are four categories in magic nowadays. It divides in good magic, or white magic as the unicorns calls it, then there is the dark magic better know as black magic. The neutral magic is the magic that isn't being used, it is commonly used for telekinesis and the like. Then there is the prohibited magic, better know as corrupted magic.

Right now, that is all I feel... I cant wait to get out of this place. Whatever happened I knew that Sombra was the one behind of it.

"Return... to Celestia... and Luna..."

I feel a tiny hand grope my shorts. I lower my head and see a little red filly, six or seven years old, wearing a torn white dress that reach to her ankles with a pair of yellow eyes and dark pink mane. I was about to ask what happen when I saw her concerned expression. "Ar-are you okay M-mis-mister? Yo-you are cry-crying" Whispers the filly.

"Yeah... I-It is nothing, lets move on. We need to get you all out of here." Whipping my eyes, I took my back away from the wall and straighten myself. I change my sight to the kids who began getting up and seemed to be better now, I count them again. Thirty eight.

"O-okay" Said the filly, she was the closest to me. We began to walk into the dark again.

It didn't pass much time before the kids began to slow down, the hallway seemed to be endless, we never found another door and I could feel that we where walking for hours yet there wasn't any change in the hallway, where are we?

We rested again after one of the kids fell unconscious, I rushed to him and began to panic until I saw that he was sleeping. All the kids where beyond exhausted, a pit formed in my stomach as I saw that they where barely walking. How long till we get out of this place?

"Stop, we are gonna rest here." I said, some of the kids fell on their backs or simply lied there. They all huddled together on the right side of the hallway and began to talk, I just zoned out their conversations and focus on the two sides of the hallway, waiting for any kind of sound.

I couldn't see if it was day or night, but the kids where trying to sleep, some of them couldn't even sleep for more than ten minutes before waking up with a start, others cried for their parents to help them. My attention snapped to the youngest foals, they where practically babies, one or two years old. It wasn't the age that made me worry as much as I was, but the lack of sound they where giving, it seemed as if they used all their energy crying on the way.

My grip on my sword tightened, taking a deep breath I forced myself to stay calm. I was the only line of defense this foals have.

Time passed, and there wasn't any incident. No soldiers coming after us, no crying, not even the sound of the little wind passing through the hallway. My lack of sleep and constant use on magic to maintain the bright of my sword was taking a great stroll on my being.

I let my eyes close for a second, and a second became minutes, the sound of armor against rock woke me up instantly. Recreating my sword that seemed to have dissipate, I saw movement from the way we where coming from, it was just shadows and moans of pain.

"Wake up!" I began to increase the magic on my sword to make the bright stronger and then I saw what was coming down the hallway.

The children began to cry and yell at the sight, that greet me. It wasn't something I was expecting, they where ponies. The pit of my stomach grew the more my eyes scanned the ponies, dried blood was all over their bodies and some of them where with broken limps or simply lacked of them, some got their eye sockets empty and some patches of their fur got weird colorations, the smell that reached my nose almost made me puke. But what made me almost lost the little control over my emotions I have was the one leading them.

Scarlet... or what was left of her, I could make a hole one her chest area, and her eyes where unfocused. Yet in front of me stood scarlet, and behind her where those I fought with, my brothers and sister in arms. All of those who fought Sombra.

No... No,no,no,no!

"Children! Run!" I yelled, summoning a giant wall of ice to block the way of the zombies, but much to my surprise it broke not seconds after the horde of zombies reached it. The children where all wide awake after taking a look at the zombies, they didn't even question me and began to run without me in the dark hallway.

What!? Something is not right! Another wall, and again it broke, then I made a spear out of the ground which impaled Scarlet making me flinch a little. But then her body began to glow, a dark red aura surrounded her body and the spear broke into pieces. Something is neglecting my magic... how did...

Taking a glance I saw that all the children have ran ahead of me in the dark, cursing under my breath for my lack of thinking and brash action I began to ran where the children ran. I could feel the wind coming from the end of the hallway, I got many kids that fell on the ground and where shaking on their feet and they ran with me. Some where too exhausted to run, it didn't take long before the hallway began to stretch and then came the end,

A pair of giant doors made of metal. They didn't have any sight or image, they where two plain metal doors and the children where trying to pry them open but where too weak.

When they saw the light returned all eyes came to me, then to the doors. Letting some of the kids I carry on the ground, I began to pry the doors open. Then came the sounds of armor against rock again, there wasn't any moans of pain now, but what came from behind me where the shriek of million of voices. The speed in which they where coming towards me was something I wasn't expecting, the children began to panic, trying to force the dual doors open.

Without even turning back I threw my sword to the ground but it didn't broke, then began to push, and slowly the doors started to open.

CLRRRRRR-CRICK

The sounds behind us grew louder and the children began to pray and cry louder, making me use more strength, my veins began to show as I pushed harder again the doors. When it was enough so the children could ran inside, they didn't even hesitate before running inside the room, and then I notice that the door was pushing ME back, it was closing and there where some kids that didn't ran inside, using strength that I didn't even knew I got the doors stopped pushing me, but didn't open more than they already where.

"Fast! Get inside!" I yelled with clenched teeth. The ground began to shake as the sound of of horde behind me grew, the rest of the children that where on this side ran inside faster with some of the cries of encouragement from the ones on the other side that didn't ran ahead and where waiting from us. When I saw that all the children have passed through I let go of the doors and threw myself inside but before I could pass through something grope my left feet.

CRUUUUUG

The shrieks of the horde grew and more hands grope my left leg and try to pull me, the doors where almost close with just enough space for the hands to grape me. Using my hands and my right leg I stopped them from taking my left leg. The children ran to me and began to pull too while crying for me. Slowly the zombies is hold on my leg began to loose but not without taking some of my skin with their fingers.

BANG

The doors closed and crushed the hand of the zombies, the sound of pounding from the other side could be hear while I rested my back on the rocky ground while surrounded by dark.

After some time I raised myself and create another sword with the little magic left I got. I couldn't see the end of the room we where inside, it stretched far beyond the light of my sword. The kids huddled around me as I raised myself with my sword high in the air.

The room was unnatural, there was something very, very wrong in this place. Putting more energy on my sword I could see further ahead and what I saw made my hearth sink.

Darkness... all I saw was darkness...

It wont have been such a problem if not for the fact that my sight was of a Pegasus, if not better, and with my sword shining like a sun with bright blue light...

The only visible thing where the wall behind us, the giant doors, and ground below us. Not even the roof was visible, and that was quite unnerving. I counted the children and there where only twelve with me.

"Lets move, stay close to me. If you see movement yell and watch your sides." I said, the children gave some affirmative noises to let me know that they have hear me.

During our walk I needed to bring down the bright of my sword cause it took too much magic energy. Making visible only a few feets around us. We couldn't find or hear any of the kids that ran ahead from us, we found some loose clothes and blood, yet I continue to believe that the kids where alright.

I was blind, yet I could hear movement around me. Why we weren't attacked was something I couldn't comprehend but I knew that something was waiting for us to low our guards...

After more walking the hallway began to change, the ground below us changed from dark crystal to brown rock, then some pillars began to appear, some became millions after more walking, all forming a perfect path, they raised high and into the darkness. Making me believe that wherever we where, it wasn't on the Crystal empire anymore.

We took rest many times, time was something we didn't have, we couldn't see how much passed since our escape, or how far we ran.

Then, after endless walking we saw it... light... at the end of the hallway there was light, a door, the wind came from that hole. I could feel it.

GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

A roar that shook the ground itself came from behind, it made the foals scream in fear. Turning around preparing to face whatever made that sound, I gave more magic to my sword but saw nothing.

Then I hear it.

Cric-cric-cric

It was like the sounds that came from the sparks in a camp fire, increasing the flood of magic on my sword it began to glow brighter. The foals screamed and started to made a dash to the exit when they laid their eyes on the maker of those sounds.

It wasn't just one, oh no, there where hundreds of spiders running from the walls at us, jumping from pillar to pillar, and all of them came from where we came from. They weren't normal spiders, but giants twice my size, all of them making a run to our group. Behind them the pillars gave away as a behemoth that seemed as big as the Deliora came through t. A giant spider, eight giant legs and eight eyes that shine on the dark with a red color.

Turning around I made a dash to the exit staying behind the foals, they where running ahead of me, I could feel the demons winning behind me yet the exit was closer, we could make it.

Halfway to the exit there was a cry of pain from one of the kids, a colt.

Looking ahead I saw a filly trip over the colt that fell, making a dash towards them and without stopping grope both with one arm, letting my sword fell to the ground. Looking behind I saw the spiders not far away from us.

Then ahead of me shadows began to appear, bipedal shadows of my size, I couldn't make any features and then came the shouting.

"BLOW THE DANG PHING! YA LASS! DEMOUNS ARE COMING AR'E WAY!" Shouted a male voice, it wasn't a child is voice and the accent made me a little loss.

"AYE CAP'TAIN!" Came from the other shadows before appendages came from their backs, they took flight to the darkness with some crates on their... talons?

"Cap'tain! Another pony ahead!" Yelled a male voice.

"Yet thad lass out of here! Asger! Save tha' lass!" Came the voice from the shadow that didn't even move since all of this began.

"Aye Cap'tain!" Before I could make another step forward something grope me from my waist, whatever grope me grunted from the weight and took me forward. My hold on the kids didn't loosened and then came the blinding light of the sun. When my sight came I was throw on the ground, looking at my helper I saw something quite unexpected.

A griffon.

"Cap'tain! The powder is on its place!" Came another male voice, looking behind me I saw a entrance to a frozen mountain and a giant opening with various barrels attached to it.

"Blow them out boys!" Yelled a griffon, I couldn't make details of him except for his red cape with a symbol of a griffon skull.

Then I notice a griffon passing through the barrels with a torch, before I could comprehend what was happening the barrels explode.

"AhahaHahaHahaHahaHah" The red caped griffon laughed while the mountain began to give in, the shrieks of spiders being crushed could be hear and their shrieks of pain. More explosions came and more of the mountain gave in. Then came the silence.

I was quiet while the two kids on my waist where hugging me as if their lives depended on it.

"What do we got here! Ya aren't a pony! What arrrya?" Looking from where the voice came from I saw the griffon with red cape.

He was dressed in a dark brown coat with dark blue buttons and below a dark brown jean of sorts. His fur was dark red while there could be seen black on his chest and white below his two yellow hawk like eyes, below his black beak there was a long wild black beard. His left feet, or talon seemed to be missing, replaced for a wooden stick and a scar could be seen on his left eye.

He was crouched on his left leg with his two arms over it and looking at me with what seemed like a smile.

"Now lass... Who are ya?" He asked, his voice was old yet there was amusement in it.

"Name is Gray." I said with a glare, griffons where the enemy of Equestria. I fought against them many of their incursions before.

"Well 'Gray', name is Black Beak! Leader of the Black Beak pirates!" He shouted and cheers came from the griffons around me, all dressed with shorts and white shirts, some with head bands and others with eye patches. His name send alarms on my head, yet a little part of me was exited.

"Now, why ar'e ya here lass? What whe're ya doing in t'here?" Asked the Griffon.

After three months with the griffons, I was set free. It wasn't a prison, but we where too far away from Equestria, when we came out of the cave captain Black Beak told me that we where on the Minos's sea side, a place filled with islands. How we get there was loss to me, but during these three weeks I tried reading the book of Zeref.

It was... quite scary, not only it can summon monsters but it can raise the dead, control the mind, corrupt people, and curse people. The monsters inside of it could be summon with blood and the right amount of souls, there where many spells to immortality, one of them was divide yourself. Divide your body and soul, basically taking away your emotions, leaving nothing but the body, which will be just that, a body, a shell of its former self with the soul of the caster, yet the body would be immortal. While the emotions whole form a body over time, with a curse, it would be immortal as long as it eats, not normal food but a constants supply of emotions to live, taking it from those around or by force.

That made me think about some bug ponies...

There was even a spell to destroy one is soul and a spell to change memories, the book once open have a constant flow of insanity directed to me, it seemed like a mechanism that it have to corrupt the reader. My mentor told me that not even the most adept in magic, not even himself could maintain its sanity just by being exposed by insanity. But nothing changed in me, it was like I was immune to the book's dark powers.

After we where taken by the pirates they made us work on their ship. Our stay got longer when I didn't let the children work but Black Beak didn't care. He actually supported me but at a cost, to work harder and nothing more, he was a great big guff with a soft heart. He would let me in his ship until we get out of Minos and on zebra land where there where caravans. He mostly made me clean the bridge and loot passing boats of Zebras, Minotaurs, Thestrals, and Deers. Those deer where damn pacifist.

There was the rare fight against the griffon empire ships and during one of our fights we woke up the monster of the sea, it was during a great storm when our ship the 'Liberty' was bombarded by a griffon empire ship. Tentacles took hold of the enemy ship, it took the life of the men that jump to fight in the other ship, when the enemy ship was crushed by the giant tentacles the beast dissapeared only to appear under us.

Black Beak almost gave up, they where all jumping off the ship or flying away, if it wasn't for my powers we would have lose our ship. Using all my power I froze the kraken is tentacles that tried to crush our ship, the beast after loosing three of its ten tentacles dissapeared under the sea.

After the event my time where mostly expended by talking with Black Beak, who approached me and asked for me to lend him my power. After all, there wasn't any ship that fought against the king of the seas and made it to the shores. He told me that he was a liberalist of some short, he was one of the heads of a revolution. He wanted the king of the Griffons dead, the griffon empire was ruled by a tyrant. A griffon by the name of Blood Beak who ruled with and iron talon and wanted nothing more than power.

That was not even the first weak.

The tale of the man that fought against sea hydras, krakens, sirens, and sea serpents spread through the lands. The main base of the revolution against Blood Beak was on the Zebra lands, by the second month and second week we made it to Zebra lands and the tale of the man that fought monsters for fun made many to want to be on our side, be it by glory, justice, or simply to fight along the man that fought creatures that not even a float of ships could. So when we made it to the city base at the coast of Zebrika we couldn't have been more surprised by the ships and creatures roaming around wanting to join Black Beak and 'The monster hunter'.

There where Minotaurs, zebras, Ponies, a random Thestral, and more that came from outside of Equestria and much to my shock, Dragons.

The third month passed and I fought along with Black Beak at the hearth of the Griffon empire, Griffonstone. It was a disaster, but the army of Blood Beak was no joke, we fought and fought until we made it to his castle where Blood Beak took the life of her wife and son before succumbing to public execution. Black Beak let us get in a caravan that passed close to the Everfree forest for my services now that he was clowned king. But told me that he was going to have a last adventure, to find some sort of Idol that said to grant prosperity.

With that me and the two kids that wanted to come with me, a Pegasus colt named Gale and a Unicorn filly named Sunshine. After the escape of the Crystal empire only twelve foals survive. Some where adopted by Griffons, Minotaurs, zebras, or simply wanted to stay in the Griffon empire.

Seeing as it was their choice I let them go with a smile, those kids where my family during those months, all of them sleep in my room or simply wanted me to train them in combat, magic, or to simply tell them a tale.

But now I return to Celestia and Luna, the two most important fillies on my life, my family...

Walking along with my two companions while leaving the caravan behind who where headed to the Thestral kingdom we made our way through the forest that seemed to have become a little darker than it used to be.

We began walking for hours until night came and we where forced to make a camp. Sunshine helped making a fire and Gale took branches of trees while I sit on the ground with the book of Zeref under my coat. My coat was black, and under it was a dark blue shirt and my pants where brown, with a pair of improvised shoes made of seal skin, not really comfortable but they where durable. We where sitting in a circle around the fire, the sounds of wolfs howling to the moon and crickets filled the night sky.

"Sir Gray? Can I ask you a question?" Came the childish voice of Gale from my right, he was dressed similar to me, yet he wore only a brown shirt and brown shorts. Gale being a Pegasus colt of eight years. Having black fur and yellow mane with a grey line passing through. His pair of cyan eyes focused on the fire while using a stick to poke at it.

"Sure Gale." I said while resting my back against the tree behind me and looking over to the night sky, I knew Luna already got to control the night sky. The way the moon raised was a give away but now the night sky seemed... wrong, when It was under the control of Luna is parent it was beautiful. After their dead it was just plain, but now?

It seemed depressing...

"What do you expect on this castle Sir Gray? You never talked much about it, only that your family was there." He asked, and it was right.

"To tell you the truth Gale? I don't know, there are so many ponies waiting for me there-" Celestia, Luna, Starswirl, Clover, Whisper..."But at the same time there are things that I have to do there." Tell Rose that Lance died.

"Sir Gray, once we get there, would you leave us?" Asked Gale who was now looking at me in the eyes.

"Now Gale, why would I leave you two?" I asked with a warm smile while hiding my shock, why would he ask me such a question after everything that have happened?.

"Dad said the same before we came back to the empire, he said that we will be together ." He was now forcing his tears back "But then he leaved me." Letting a mental sigh I got up and sat at his side before hugging him with one arm.

"Gale, I would never leave you, or Sunshine. You are family to me, and for me family is everything. We passed three months together, we laugh together and we cried together. Don't you remember the promise that I gave you? That I wont leave neither you or Sunshine?." I said while ruffing his mane a little, then began to whisper. "When we get there you and I will go and search for treasures like we did on Zebrika, or we could go to the barracks so you could see how the ponies there kick my ass, or with a little mischievous filly we will create chaos like no other, or my favorite. I will show you the greatness of the Poison Joke!" I said a little louder while raising my free hand to the air.

Gale let a chuckle escape his lips. Using one of my hands began to wipe his tears away. "That sounds nice Sir Gray." Said Gale.

"I know Gale, just sleep, tomorrow will be a long day." Came my reply while gently stroking his back. The forest was calm and the fire's sounds where a lullaby in itself.

"O*yaawn*kay..." He rested his head on my chest and fell asleep immediately.

Kids will always be kids... I though with a smile, but just at it came, it disappear.

What happen? Did anybody came back? or am I the whole survivor of the battle for the Crystal Empire? How did Celestia and Luna scope with my lost? Do they even believe I died? What about Rose? What would I say to her? She should have already gave birth to Lance's kid. Without my notice tears began to fall from my eyes.

Lance, I wont broke my promise... No matter what, the dead wont hold me back, no matter how close they where to me, no matter how much pain they gave to me. I would smile. Looking at the stars, my mind began to cloud.

Celestia... Luna... Your uncle is on the way... just... wait...

After the dream realm took hold, I didn't notice the change that the moon took. The night sky began to glow with so much life that made everyone awake be hypnotize at its sight, and those already asleep under the night sky began to feel at peace.

After all... Luna found a dream of someone who she thought was lost during this same night.

End of Flashback

My eyes began to open slowly.

First thing I notice was the lack of sounds, the lack of wind, and that I was in the middle of the Everfree forest. That made me jump from the ground but no sounds came, not even when my feet touch the ground. Gazing around me there seemed to be a dead forest, no colors whatsoever. The sky was a void of darkness, the leafs where black and the trees where grey.

Where the hell am I? I thought. The sight was limited, after six trees there was only darkness.

Over here! Over here! Over here!

Turning my head in the direction that the voice came I saw the same faceless filly from before waving at me. She turned and began to ran into the darkness.

"Hey! Come back here!" She didn't turn back, she just disappeared inside the void and without questioning my sanity, began to spring to where she went. But there where no sights of her, where did she went?

Over here! Over here! Over here!

Again came the voice from my right, she wasn't there but my instincts toll me to ran that way. Jumping over grey bushes and passing through fallen trees and jumping over a little hole I found myself on a clearing.

"Her mother died?"

What? That wasn't a voice I knew, it was a stallion's voice yet none that I could remember.

"Her horn broke inside the mother..."

On the clearing a shadow came, it was a stallion, and earth pony. Pure black, no mouth or any characteristic more than he was pure black with two piercing red dots as his eyes. Just standing there looking at my soul.

"She is too weak for an earth pony, cant cast magic and cant fly. How can you call a freak like her your child escapes my mind."

My legs began to shake and my strength seemed to disappear slowly. My eyes caught another shadow, now of a unicorn mare with the red dots as eyes.

"She is a disgrace! She isn't my family!"

Another shadow, a Pegasus stallion. My ears began to ring forcing me on my knees while clutching my head.

"She will die Gray, right now she is a time bomb. You need to end her suffering. Her health will deteriorate by time if nothing is done. She is a bomb, and time is the fuse.

Another shadow, a unicorn stallion with a grey hat. Now I could feel my heart burning, forcing me on the ground clutching my pained chest while letting tears fell down on the colorless ground.

"Daddy... why does everyone hates me?

Then everything came to a stop, the pain, the ringing on my eyes, and my strength came back. Yet the air didn't came to my lung, I was suffocating.

"Daddy... you will never leave me alone... right?"

Slowly I began to look up, my vision was blurry but I could make the form of hooves in front of me, a pair of little white hooves that I knew very well.

" Daddy... I don't feel well...

My breath came to a normal pace and I raised myself, slowly while looking at the faceless filly in front of me, a filly that was a great impact on my life.

"Daddy... what happen to mommy?"

Slowly snow began to fall around the clearing, my legs where a little week but nevertheless I began to raise while tears began to freely fall from my face.

"Daddy! I got my cutie mark! I got my cutie mark!"

How could I forget her!? Was the only thing passing through my mind while tears began to fall from my face, my heart hurt so much that I feel like it would break at any second.

"Daddy... why does everypony ran away from me? Does that made me an evil pony like those of your stories?"

"Ho-How could I forget you..." I said with a shaky voice while extending my right hand towards the filly in front of me, millions of thoughts running through my mind, memories from the past began to fill my head making the pain on my hearth increase by every second.

"Daddy, am I a freak? They told me that I am a freak...

"I-I let you do-down? Di-Didn't I?" I asked while placing my right hand on her left shoulder while raising the other.

"I-I broke m-my promise..." I said while letting my left arm on her right shoulder.

"My little Snow Drop..." The name escape my lips.

The face of the filly began to change, a mouth formed with white lips and her little snout. Then came her eyes, a pair of brilliant grey eyes...

"Daddy?" Said the filly in front of me, tilting her head to a side.

"Oh Snow Drop!" I yelled while hugging her, many questions running through my mind, my heart hurt yet there was happiness in there.

The filly slowly began to hug me back, letting her frail little arms around me.

"I'm sorry.. I'm soo sorry!" I said like a mantra while crying, I didn't care, she was back. I was back.

The area around me began to fade, everything was a blur. I didn't notice until I passed through the filly on my arms.

"No!" I yelled, looking behind me, the filly was looking at me with a smiling face but she was transparent. The world around me began to fade away to the darkness, then the ground gave away and I began to fall.

"No, no, no, no, noooooooo!" I yelled while looking at the fading filly that continue to stand up there on the darkness.

"NO!" Jumping out of wherever I seemed to be I began to look around, trying to find her. My little Snow Drop.

"Snow Drop! Where are you!" I yelled, I seemed to be inside a wooden house, many flask of glass with strange liquids could be seen but none of them mattered, nothing was more important than finding her.

"Snow Drop!" I yelled, pushing myself of of the bed I seemed to be I fell to the ground. Slowly I began to get up and grope a wooden stand filled with empty glass vials

"SNOOOW DROP!" I yelled while using every inch of strength inside of me to get up, but only succeeding on breaking my wooden support and letting many vials made of glass to the ground.

"What is happening in here!?" Came from a female voice, but not the one I was hoping to hear. Slowly I turned my eyes up and saw a Zebra, a female Zebra dressed with only a bra and a under-wear.

It.. It wasn't real? No... it cant be...

Where is my daughter?

Author's Notes:

Yeah it was totally like the lord of the ring scene.

P.S. Luna at the time didnt have a great control in her magic and was new with the whole dream walking. Thats why she could only see Gray's dream when he was close to her.
Cut her some.slack will ya xD

P.S.S. Griffons YAY!
