The train halted to a stop in Ponyville train station. The group got off the train before it chugged off again, this time to Manehattan. Rainbow Dash went to start clearing up the clouds, Applejack had to go back to her family farm, Pinkie Pie needed to make some extra delivers for the Cakes, Fluttershy had to go check up on her animal friends, Twilight, Spike, and Starlight showed Phonyyx to Twilight's Castle, and Rarity headed home to start repairing Phonyyx's cloak. Rarity opened the doors to her home and placed the torn cloak on her sewing table.

"Sweetie Belle, I'm home," Rarity called to her little sister. Sweetie Belle came pounding down the stairs to see her big sister.

"Rarity!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed while giving her sister a hug. "How was the Crystalling?"

"Oh, it was magnificent, if a little hectic as well. But the strangest thing happened when my friends and I arrived at Canterlot last night." Rarity recounted the whole fiasco for Sweetie Belle. She examined the cloak more closely and saw just why this bland brown cloak was so important to Phonyyx. It had been sewn with crystalline fabric interlaced in parts of it. Rarity removed a tiny strand of string from the tear and unwounded it. She had never seen anything like it. She didn't even understand how it was possible for the crystalline fabric to be created in the first place. "Oh, this might take longer than expected."

"What is that?"

"Oh it's Phonyyx's cloak it was torn somehow and I promised to repair it for him. The problem is that it cannot be repaired with a sewing machine or any magic spell. It's enchanted to prevent that so no pony could try to duplicate it." Rarity didn't have the magical prowess like Twilight, but even she could sense all the powerful tomes and runes placed on this cloak. Rarity took out a small notebook and started taking notes. Rarity noted the stitching patterns, length of each stitch, the type of stitches, and fabric that she could identify, and experimented with how the two ends of the tear went together. I'll need to ask Phonyyx how the crystalline fabric was created. By the end of her note-taking session, Rarity had five pages worth of notes.

"This will be your room," Twilight told Phonyyx as she opened the doors to one of the castle's many, many guest rooms. It had a bed in the center of the back wall and a window out looking most of Ponyville, with another window out looking the Everfree Forest, there was a drawer next to the bed, a door on the right side, and a comfy reclining chair with a tall lamp next to it.

"Uhm, is that smell the room or me?" Phonyyx sniffed the air and reeled back a bit. Twilight sniffed the air and then sniffed Phonyyx.

"I think that's you," Twilight said while covering her nose.

"I should probably take a shower then."

"Yeah, that might be a good idea."

"Where is the bathroom?" Phonyyx looked at her. Twilight pointed to the door on the right of the room. "Thanks." Phonyyx walked over to the door, opened it, closed it behind him, and turned on the water. Twilight walked off to the library. She was looking for any book on pony half-breeds. All she found was a small reference to pony-dragon half-breeds. Fruitless, Twilight then searched for a book on phoenixes. She found several, but none talked of a creature like Phonyyx, but she did find a reference to something called Elemental Magic. Intrigued, Twilight searched for books on that.

"There you are, Twilight," -Starlight walked into the room- "I was looking for y-. What are you doing?" Starlight pointed to the giant pile of books Twilight had accumulated.

"Oh, I was looking up on what Phonyyx is. If he truly has done all that he claims he would be at least mentioned in something."

"Nope. I wasn't mentioned because I never really told any pony about me. The only reference to me would be small, subtle, and found in the most out-of-place stories or events," Phonyyx retorted as he entered the room. He was completely dry. And wasn't smelling terrible like earlier. Phonyyx took a scan through the books on the shelves and picked out a few, flipped through them, and finally handed them over to Twilight to take a look at certain pages. "There, take a look through those and you may find me referenced somewhere." Twilight looked through the books at the pages Phonyyx mentioned and found he was right. The only few mentions of him or something related to him was obscure and far-fetched, but they were true. Twilight noticed the sword on Phonyyx's back.

"Is that your sword?" Twilight pointed to the weapon sheathed on Phonyyx's back.

"Yeah. My father made it for me, taught me how to care for it, and how to fight with it."

"Who was your father?"

"Sombra."

"WHAT!" Twilight yelled at the revelation. "You are the son of Sombra? As in King Sombra."

"Yep. He was a good father, most of the time," Phonyyx added nonchalantly.

"Do you realize what Sombra did?"

"Yes, and I had to help take him down." Phonyyx is holding something back, he's not telling us everything. There has to be more to it than just that. "Look, I understand what my father did and that it was wrong, but he is still my father. And before you ask, no, I'm not like my father." Twilight didn't exactly trust Phonyyx with this knowledge. But she was the Princess of Friendship, it was her duty to spread, teach, and show the power of friendship to any pony that didn't see it. If she was able to help some pony like Starlight, then she could help Phonyyx see as well, if he was lying and was like his father.

"Okay then. I'll take your word Phonyyx." Twilight looked back down at the book still not trusting Phonyyx. When she looked back up, Phonyyx was gone. "Phonyyx," Twilight called out. "Starlight, did you see where Phonyyx went?"

"No. I didn't realize he was gone." Starlight looked around, trying to see if Phonyyx merely walked off to another part of the library.

"Dreamcatchers, dreamcatchers, get your genuine antique dreamcatchers here," shouted a sales pony. Pinkie Pie ran up to the sales pony giddily. Thats the perfect thing to get Phonyyx for his Surprise, Welcome to Ponyville Party. Pinkie Pie had secretly been gathering supplies to throw this party all day. The only thing left to get was a present for Phonyyx. Pinkie Pie bought not only a dreamcatcher for Phonyyx but also bought one for each of her best friends, and herself. Pinkie Pie made it back to Sugar Cube Corner.

"Hello. I'm back," Pinkie said skipping up the stairs towards her room. "Every pony got their delectable delicacies on time."

"Thank you, Pinkie Pie. It seems that we are getting more and more busy with the foals." Mr. Cake was feeding Poundcake.

"Whatever are those for?" Mrs. Cake noticed the bags that Pinkie was carrying.

"Ohh, that's just a little surprise." The Cakes merely passed glances at each other in confusion. Pinkie was already upstairs and in her room before the cakes could ask another question. "Hello, Gummy." Pinkie hopped by Gummy and planted an affectionate kiss on his nose. Gummy however remained unmoved. Pinkie pulled out some boxes and wrapping paper and she proceeded to box up and wrap all of the dreamcatchers she bought. She bounded off down the stairs and out the door, heading straight for Twilight's Castle. When Pinkie arrived at the castle she saw that all of her best friends were at the castle, she left them all a note asking them to come and not tell Phonyyx about it.

"Eeypee!" Pinkie bolted through the front doors and into the main chamber were her friends sat waiting for her.

"Okay, Pinkie we're all here like you asked us to do. Now, will you tell us what this is all about?" Rainbow Dash asked Pinkie. Pinkie looked around the room and gleefully asked, "Where is Phonyyx?"

"We don't know. But I think he is walking around the castle. do you want us to go get him?" Twilight asked getting up to go fetch Phonyyx.

"No," -Twilight sat back down- "We are all going to throw Phonyyx a Surprise, Welcome to Ponyville Party. I already have all the decorations. Twilight can the party be thrown here?"

"Sure."

"Yes. Now I already have all the decorations, I just need time and help to move and set up the decorations here without Phonyyx realizing what we're doing. So we need to each take turns distracting him from Twilight's Castle while the rest of us prepare for the par-" Phonyyx walked into the room.

"Hey, what are all of you doing?" Phonyyx asked the ponies staring at him.

"Nothing." Twilight-opposite of Phonyyx- nudged Spike and her eyes shot from Spike to Phonyyx and back again.

"Hey, Phonyyx I was wondering if maybe we could go take a walk-" Spike made a jogging motion "- and you could tell me something you know about dragons." It was as blatantly forced as possible. Somehow Phonyyx was none the wiser and agreed to Spikes plan. The two of them walked out of the castle.

"Okay then, let's get started."

"So what do you want to know about dragons?" Phonyyx asked Spike.

"Well, first of all, were dragons always greedy and violent?" Spike looked up at Phonyyx.

"No, dragons had an empire that spanned all of Equestria, they were the rulers of the lands. But that was long ago. Before I was born. The Dragon Empire collapsed after the only legitimate offspring of the final Dragon Emperor disappeared, leaving only his brash, cocky, macho illegitimate offspring to rule in his place. The new emperor set laws and moved most of the empire's capital to fund its military. He pissed off a lot the empires allies. They deserted him. He set up a law that still persists in dragon culture to this day; the dragon that holds the bloodstone scepter is the Dragon Lord, and a dragon earns the bloodstone scepter by retrieving it through the Gauntlet of Fire, which is designed differently each time by the current Dragon Lord." -Phonyyx and Spike arrived at a lake- "Unfortunately when all of these factors were added together, it created chaos. The empire fell. The only remains are the Gauntlet of Fire quest and the mentality of the strongest, most physically able, and dominating dragon is the perfect dragon which all others must aspire to be." -Phonyyx skipped a rock across the lake- "That mentality is the most bullshit of all the things created by the dragon culture since its fall from grace. And its only getting worse."

"Ohh." Spike looked down disappointed.

"But, there is still hope." Phonyyx stopped walking and took in the scenery. He and Spike were at a farm. "Where are we?"

"Oh, this. This is Sweet Apple Acres, Applejacks farm."

"Howdy y'all, hey Spike." Applejack walked up to Spike and Phonyyx. "Hey, Spike Twilight wanted to talk to you. She's at her castle. But hey, Phonyyx I could use some help bucking some apple trees. I'll even pay you for the work." Phonyyx was going to not help Applejack, hey not his fault, then not his problem. But then the prospect of some bits did interest him. He didn't have any money after all, at least not here.

"Okay." Phonyyx and Applejack trotted off towards the apple fields. Applejack pointed a section of the orchid that needs to be bucked. Phonyyx walked over to the closet trees of the patch. Turned around. And kicked that tree as hard as he could. Apples didn't fall. Instead hi entire body fell as a wave of excruciating pain flowed from the ends of his rear-legs to the rest of his body. Phonyyx howled in pain and he swore that ponies all the way in Canterlot could hear his cries of pain.

"What happened?" Applejack ran over to Phonyyx and looked at his rearranges. They were swollen, throwing, and black. "Oh, that doesn't look good. Look, I'm going to go get Twilight and the doctor. Can you stay here, should I go get my big brother to help you, or is it too serious to wait for medical help?"

"No." -Applejack looked perplexed by this- "Applejack, listen carefully. I need you to turn me so that my forelegs can touch the ends of my rear-legs and I can see my rear-legs myself. Can you do that?" Phonyyx asked through gritted teeth.

"Okay," Applejack said confused, but she did as Phonyyx asked, not knowing if Phonyyx had something to do. Once Applejack had orientated Phonyyx like he asked her to do a strange light surrounded both his horn and his swollen legs. Applejack knew that magic could do almost anything, but this is something not even Twilight could accomplish. Healing his own legs without causing any more pain to himself. In about a minute Phonyyx's legs were no longer swollen, throbbing, or black. Phonyyx wobbled himself back to his feet and steadied himself against the tree that he tried to buck earlier. "Are you sure that yer gonna be okay?"

"Yeah. Now back to the matter at hoof. How the fuck do you buck these damn trees?" Phonyyx glared at the tree as if it was the source of the problem.

"Look-" Applejack walked up to the tree and did exactly as Phonyyx did, only slightly further away "-it's all about how you position the kick. Too far away and you'll miss, too close and, well you found out the hard way. And you have to give it the most powerful kick you can." Applejack proceeded to demonstrate what she meant by all that. One kick later and there were apples all around them. "Now it's yer turn."

"Okay." Phonyyx walked up to a tree and put his rear hooves up against the tree and walked out as far as he could without letting his hooves fall. Once Phonyyx had reached this point he kicked. Not with all his might; for fear of repeating history from five minutes ago. The tree buckled and apples fell.

"There ya go," Applejack said as Phonyyx walked up to another tree to repeat the process. One kick later more apples appeared on the ground. "Now yer getting the hang of it." Applejack continued on with her apple bucking as did Phonyyx. The two ponies quickly and easily bucked all of the trees in that patch of the orchard. Phonyyx was resting when he saw a big red pony towing a cart of uprooted trees trunks. One of the wheels broke and the logs started to fall down the hill, straight towards a small yellow filly with a big red bow In her mane. A billion thoughts raced through Phonyyx's head in an instant. They mostly consisted of Not my fault, not my problem. She is going to die if I don't do something. Then in the same instant that Phonyyx made those first few thoughts, he made his decision. Phonyyx ran towards the filly and dashed forward, engulfing himself in flames as he did so, a little trick he liked to call a flame dash. When he stopped Phonyyx was right in front of the filly and drew his sword, he cut the rolling logs in half.

"Applebloom! You're alright!" The big red pony said as he came to a sudden stop in front of the filly.

"Yeah, I'm alright thanks to this pony here, Big Mac." Apple Bloom looked at Phonyyx. "Thanks, um. Whats your name?"

"My name is Phonyyx," Phonyyx answered Appleblooms question. It was about this time that Rarity walked into Sweet Apple Acres.

"Ah. There you are, Phonyyx." Rarity walked up to him. "I need to ask you a few questions regarding your cloak. If you come with me it might be easier."

"Are you two gonna be okay?" Phonyyx looked at Applebloom and Big Mac. They said they were. "Okay, Rarity lead the way." Rarity and Phonyyx walked of to Carousel Boutique. Once they got there Rarity began her "interrogation".

"Well, first of all. What is this, how was it made, and how did you get it?" Rarity held up a string of crystalline fabric from Phonyyx's cloak.

"That's a crystalline fabric that's been intertwined with the fabric of the cloak. I got it a long time ago back in the Crystal Empire, although I don't remember how it was made, I think you can buy the stuff from a shop in the Crystal Empire. Anyway that stuff is what allows my cloak to be enchanted." This was the first set of many, many questions Rarity shot at Phonyyx. Rarity wanted to know all about the cloak, how it was stitched, why he warned her not to use a magic spell to repair it, and how the fabric was torn. The truth was that Phonyyx knew the answer to how the cloak was torn but decided to not tell Rarity. For he kept a promise that indirectly included the tear. The interrogation lasted almost an entire hour. During that time, Phonyyx didn't just answer Rarity's questions, also he met Sweetie Belle and helped Rarity with a problem she had been having with a new line of her clothing. Phonyyx showed Rarity a trick with sewing together clothing that made it visually appealing and wouldn't limit mobility. And suddenly there was Pinkie Pie.

"Phonyyx, there you now let go bake a cake." was all that Phonyyx heard before Pinkie grabbed him and before Phonyyx knew what was happening he was in Sugar Cube Corner. Rarity was simply baffled with her mouth open wide, trying to understand what just happened. "So what flavor of cake icing is your favorite? Is it vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, Neapolitan?" Pinkie pulled out bags of each cake icing she listed off.

"Whoa, whoa. Pinkie, what is all of this for?" Phonyyx pointed a hoof at the bags of icing on the table.

"Oh, I need your help with making a cake and I want to make the perfect icing for it." Oh boy. This is going to take awhile.

"Personal preference is vanilla."

"Okay then!" Pinkie put away all of the icing bags except vanilla, which she put in a fridge. She got out a cake batter mixer and started to mix together cake mix, singing to herself as she did so. Pinkie asked Phonyyx to get certain ingredients that she listed off. "This might take a while." Pinkie closed the oven door with the cake in it. Removed her oven mitts and looked over at Phonyyx. "Fluttershy said she wanted to talk to you at her cottage. She said something about needing your help with something. Follow me, I can show you the way." Pinkie leaped over the counter in one bound, Phonyyx had been eating a sandwich. It was the only thing he had eaten since breakfast. Phonyyx looked over at the clock on the wall, which read one o'clock.

Fluttershy's cottage was placed far on the outskirts of Ponyville.

"Fluttershy, we're here," Pinkie yelled as she and Phonyyx walked through the door.

"I'm outside," Flutter shy responded. Oh, why do I have to distract Phonyyx. I'll break, he'll find out about the party.

"Hi." -Fluttershy looked up and saw Phonyyx- "Pinkie said you needed some help with something?" Phonyyx looked around and. "Hey, where did Pinkie go?" Oh no. He's going to learn about the party!

"Phonyyx, could you help me with this?" Fluttershy walked over to a pile of broken wooden planks. "It was a henhouse, but it was destroyed."

"Done."

"What?" Phonyyx's horn glowed and so did the pile of planks. The planks then rearranged themselves and reformed the henhouse That was too quick, I need to stall him longer. Fluttershy leaned down next to a couple of chickens. "I need all of you to scatter, run just stay safe and stay away from Twilight's Castle. You need to distract Phonyyx, can you do that?" The chickens clucked back at Fluttershy and scattered out into Ponyville.

"There, all fixed. Now is there any-. Where did the chickens go?"

"Huh, oh no. They must have scattered into Ponyville. We need to catch them." Fluttershy ran off towards Ponyville as did Phonyyx.

Something is going on here. Phonyyx spent the next two-three hours running down and rounding up all of Fluttershy's chickens. Once that was done, Rainbow Dash crashed through Fluttershy's cottage. She stopped mere inches from Phonyyx's sword. Which he instinctively drew when he heard the crash sound.

"Whoa!" Rainbow Dash fly back away from the deadly oversized knife that nearly killed her. Phonyyx, once seeing that it was Rainbow Dash and not a dangerous threat, sheathed his sword and sighed. "Hey!-" Phonyyx looked at Rainbow Dash "- Aren't you going to say sorry?"

"No." Phonyyx walked out of the cottage. "You came barging in without warning."

"Ohh, yeah. Well, if you can't beat me in a race then you have to apologize." Rainbow Dash smirked at Phonyyx. "From here to the Castle of the Two Sisters. You know where that is, right?"

"The big run-down castle in the middle of the Everfree Forest. But that's too easy, you lead and I'll still beat you." The two ponies flew off towards the Everfree Forest. Rainbow Dash held the lead for the longest time. Then Phonyyx kicked it up to eleven. He jetted forward with a burst of speed. Rainbow Dash made a sharp left, flying towards Ghastly Gorge. This is my territory. There is no way for him to be able to make it through here. Only problem, not only was Phonyyx keeping up with Rainbow Dash, he also overtook her at one point. Rainbow dash then exited Ghastly Gorge followed closely behind by Phonyyx. He overtook Rainbow Dash and was going to win if Rainbow Dash hadn't performed a sonic rainboom. She quickly passed Phonyyx and landed at the castle.

"I won."

"I'm sorry."

"What?"

"That was the agreement. If you won the race, I would have to apologize to you."

"That wasn't important, I just wanted to race you." Okay. There is definitely something going on. Phonyyx was going to ask Rainbow about it if Twilight hadn't flown in at that point.

"Rainbow, Pinkie needs your help with some boxes," Twilight said.

"Okay.-" She looked at Phonyyx "-smell ya later." Then Rainbow was gone.

"Twilight, what is going on here?"

"Hm, nothing except for you helping me with identifying some spells and tomes here in the Castle of The Two Sisters." Twilight used her magic and carried Phonyyx into the ruined castle library. The two of them spent a good part of the next three-four hours identifying ancient tomes and relics. Phonyyx had only been able to identify a few of them but he swore that almost all of them sounded and looked familiar. There wasn't any clock for the time nearby so Phonyyx could only estimate what time it was. He looked outside and saw that the sun had set and the moon was coming up. His stomach rumbled and he realized that he hadn't had anything to eat since that sandwich at Sugar Cube Corner and he was starving.

"Twilight, Phonyyx where are you two?" Phonyyx heard some pony talking off in the distance.

"Twilight-" Phonyyx looked over at the princess "-did you hear something?"

"No, I think you might be hearing things." There, Phonyyx heard that voice again.

"We're in here, Starlight," Phonyyx shouted out to the distant unicorn.

"Okay." Yep definitely Starlight's voice. Starlight walked into the castle shortly after. "Twilight, Spike had a letter from Princess Celestia."

"Thanks, I probably shouldn't keep the princess waiting." Twilight flew off to her castle. Starlight looked back at Phonyyx, who was staring at her. Starlight felt uneasy.

"So, um." Starlight looked up at the ceiling.

"What do you want me to do?" Phonyyx asked her in a monotonous voice.

"What? Why do you think I wanted you to do something for me?"

"Because every time some pony talked to me, they wanted me to help them. Or they wanted me to do something for them. And they knew exactly where to find me at. The only reason that I could come up with for why this is happening would be extreme coincidence, or it was all planned. Planned to keep me away from something or some pony. So what is being planned?" Phonyyx crossed his forelegs across one another.

"Nothing. Look I think you're getting tired. Let's head back to Twilight's Castle?" Starlight gave Phonyyx a little grin. Phonyyx was going to press on about what was going on. But something told him to say yes. He wasn't sure what. It might've been that fact that Starlight was right. He was getting tired and hungry.

"Okay." Phonyyx put up the books he was looking at and walked with Starlight out of the castle. But Phonyyx wasn't about to allow the question of what was going on stay unanswered. "So, now what is going on here." Phonyyx hovered over the ground slightly.

"I already told you, nothing." Starlight looked up at Phonyyx.

Snap.

Phonyyx whipped his head around to the direction of the sound. "What is i-." Phonyyx put his hoof up to Starlights mouth.

"Sshh." Then six sets of lime green eyes appeared in the shadows of the forest. "Timber wolves." One timber wolf jumped and tried to bite Phonyyx, but was immediately killed. Phonyyx had drawn his sword and impaled the timber wolf through its chest. Another timber wolf roared at Phonyyx, but he simple decapitated it through its mouth. The rest of them attacked all at once. Three of them surrounded Phonyyx, attacking left and right. Phonyyx impaled one with crystals he summoned. The second one chomped down on Phonyyx's right shoulder, but it burst into flames. The fifth wolf jumped at Phonyyx, jaw opened and ready to crunch down. Phonyyx engulfed himself in flames and disappeared into the ground, reappearing a second later, jumping into the air right beside the wolf and roundhouse kicked the timber wolf into oblivion. Starlight was speechless. Timberwolves were dangerous and feared and Phonyyx just took on five of them and there wasn't a scratch on him, even though one bit him on the shoulder. Wait, weren't there six timber wolves? Then Starlight bellowed. While she was watching Phonyyx fighting the timberwolves, the alpha timber wolf snuck up behind her and chomped down her back. Starlight's blood ran down her sides and the timber wolf chomped down harder and harder. Phonyyx shot a magic blast at the alpha wolf, but it jumped into the air, dodging Phonyyx's attack. The wolf ran straight towards Phonyyx. Phonyyx tensed up in his hind legs and stood his ground. Then when the wolf was close enough, Phonyyx grabbed the wolf's upper and lower jaws, forcing them up and down respectively. The force sent to the wolf's jaw caused both the upper and lower jaw to rip off of its body. "Starlight!" Phonyyx ran over to the wounded unicorn, a pool of blood had already grown beneath her. Phonyyx looked at Starlights eyes. She was crying. For Starlight the pain was unbearable. Phonyyx wrapped a wing around the Starlight's back and shut his eyes. A yellow-orange mist or wisp wrapped itself along Phonyyx's wings and washed down onto Starlight's back. Starlight looked over at Phonyyx and saw he was profusely sweating. Once Phonyyx lifted his wing, Starlight looked back and couldn't believe her eyes. The wounds were gone, not even a scar left.

"Thank you." Starlight could hardly speak, she was still sobbing hard. Phonyyx ran over to a river and levitated a ball of water and doused Starlight with, washing away the blood. Phonyyx put his wing on her back again and almost instantly, Starlight could feel the water leaving her. Phonyyx was on fire! Literally. "Phonyyx! You're on FIRE!" Starlight was freaking out.

"No, I can do this to myself." The fire dispersed and Phonyyx wasn't scorched at all. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah." Phonyyx helped Starlight back to her feet.

"Now, let's get to Twilight's Castle before anything else happens."

"Okay. Whoa!" Phonyyx had grabbed Starlight and was lifting her into the sky with him. It took a total of two minutes for Phonyyx and Starlight to reach Twilight's Castle. Phonyyx gently placed Starlight down and yawned. "Let's go inside." Starlight was already at the front doors. There is definitely something going on here. The two of them walked into the castle and.

"SUPRISE!" shouted nearly every pony in Ponyville.

"Welcome to Ponyville, this is your surprise party. Were you surprised?" Pinkie Pie leaped over to Phonyyx.

"So this is what was going on." Phonyyx was shocked and a little embarrassed at the number of ponies here.

"You knew?"

"Well, no. But I had a sneaking suspicion that something wasn't normal."

"Well, come on. You don't want to ditch on your own party would you?" Starlight asked as she walked into the crowd of ponies. Phonyyx followed her to Twilight and company. The music started to play.

Some legends are told

Some turn to dust or to gold

But you will remember me

Remember me, for centuries

Just one mistake

Is all it will take

We'll go down in history

Remember me for centuries

Hey, hey, hey

Remember me for centuries

Mummified my teenage dreams

No, it's nothing wrong with me

The kids are all wrong, the story's all off

Heavy metal broke my heart

Come on, come on, and let me in

Bruises on your thighs like my fingerprints

And this is supposed to match

The darkness that you felt

I never meant for you to fix yourself

Some legends are told

Some turn to dust or to gold

But you will remember me

Remember me, for centuries

Just one mistake

Is all it will take

We'll go down in history

Remember me for centuries

Hey, hey, hey

Remember me for centuries

And I can't stop until the whole world knows my name

Cause I was only born inside my dreams

Until you die for me, as long as there's a light, my shadow's over you

Cause I am the opposite of amnesia

And you're a cherry blossom

You're about to bloom

You look so pretty, but you're gone so soon

Some legends are told

Some turn to dust or to gold

But you will remember me

Remember me, for centuries

Just one mistake

Is all it will take

We'll go down in history

Remember me for centuries

Hey, hey, hey

Remember me for centuries

We've been here forever

And here's the frozen proof

I could scream forever

We are the poisoned youth

Some legends are told

Some turn to dust or to gold

But you will remember me

Remember me, for centuries

Just one mistake

Is all it will take

We'll go down in history

Remember me for centuries

Hey, hey, hey

Remember me for centuries

Phonyyx felt the irony of the song choice was too delicious remember me, for centuries. Ha, he was never remembered and he didn't mind it.

"Hey, sugarcube." Applejack walked up to Phonyyx with a mug of something. "I heard you saved my little sister today, and for that I thank you." Applejack tipped her hat to Phonyyx. "Anyway, here you might need something to make it through the night."

"Bring it on. I'm pretty sure that I can make it through this night with having to resort to drinking." Phonyyx gave a wicked grin.

"Suit yourself. But if you change yer mind. Come find me." And with that, Applejack bounded off.

"Hey, Twilight." Starlight walked up to Twilight.

"Hey, Starlight. You must've done a good job distracting Phonyyx. We had plenty of time to place the finishing touches on the party." Twilight looked overjoyed at the 'good job' Starlight did.

"Yeah, about that."Starlight retold for Twilight the encounter that she and Phonyyx had on their way back through the Everfree Forest.

"Wow, Starlight. I didn't mean for you to get hurt in there. I'm so sorry." Twilight was heartbroken. In her quest for a new friend, she risked her friends. The party went on for quite a while. It didn't take long for Phonyyx to go back on the bet he made with Applejack. Fortunately, Phonyyx had a high alcohol tolerance. After the party was over and all of the ponies left. Pinkie and the others showed Phonyyx into the main chamber. There in the center of the crystal table, was the cake Pinkie baked earlier with Phonyyx. And there were presents surrounding the cake. The cake was delicious. After that Pinkie insisted that Phonyyx open her present first. Phonyyx, confused, did so and pulled out a dreamcatcher.

'I got one each of us, so we can always remember this meeting," Pinkie said while holding up more dreamcatchers and giving one to each pony. Applejack walked up and headed Phonyyx a bag of bits.

"What, I can take this. I didn't earn it." Phonyyx tried to give Applejack the bag back.

"Na, you earn'd it alright. You bucked all those apple trees, remember." Twilight gave Phonyyx a journal to record stuff since he couldn't remember stuff from long ago. Rarity got him a tuxedo.

"For formal events, my dear," Rarity explained. Rainbow Dash got him a bag. Phonyyx actually never had a bag. There never really was much for him to have to carry around. He learned early in his time after the Crystal Empire to only carry the essentials and other less-than-essential non-essentials, i.e. what could keep him alive and what could make him a profit. Fluttershy got him a rock that glows and hums. She probably didn't realize it when she got it, but that was a Mana Crystal, it could generate magic. Spike gave him a dark-purple crystal. A shadow crystal, Phonyyx couldn't remember what it could do. And finally, Starlight gave him a leather book.

"It's an ancient tome, I found it a long time ago, as far as I can tell, it allows you to move magic from one body, or source to another, a holder." Starlight handed him the tome. The First Law of Magicodynamics.

"Thanks, all of you," Phonyyx said as he received the last gift. The group split up and every pony went to bed. Phonyyx put up the dreamcatcher above the head of his bed. Got into bed and drifted asleep. A black oily substance leaked out of the dreamcatcher. It formed itself in the air above Phonyyx and passed into him. Snore.
