"Friendship...started here."

Day 60: Close to Ponyville

It's taken two days to walk here. Looks up to see that a battle is close to starting in Everfree. Looking over to Iron claw. He looks at me and nods. Getting closer to Ponyville Iron claw looked at me and put his claws on my shoulder.

"You sure about this?" He asked with a worrying look in his eyes.

"Yes I am sure...are you willing to vouch for me?" He nodded as we got to the bridge to get to Ponyville a large group of Hell hounds wait for us on the other side of the bridge. I walked calmly along Iron Claw.

"Grrrr greetings...brother..." Iron claw nodded.

"Thank you, brother... This is Tiria, my friend... She is here to search for something... If you don't mind allowing the both of us to enter." They look towards me and I just stared at them with my eyes and stood on the back of my paws and stood up. The hunch in my back made it hard to fully stand up....

"I may have some friends...ponies...but I refuse to buy everything ponies do and say... Only a few I agree to..." They looked to each other and whisper... Then look back to me.

"We need to speak to our leaders. If you wish there is good food in the water here..." Gave a nod and he walked off leaving us with the guards. I sighed and looked to Iron claw.

"Shall we go eat whatever is in the water here?" He gave a nod looking back to the guards and the two of us walked to the water and looked into it. As I lifted up my pistol and got ready to fire and as I did the blast from it hit the gator and it came out angry.

"Well Iron Claw Please use your claws." Nods to him as he jumped on the back of the creature that tried to do Death rolls to kill Iron Claw. I fired a few more time on the gator while Iron claw stabs into the chest of the large creature and it layed there dead. Pulled the creature over to me. Grabbing a large knife and he started the fire... I cut open and pulled the heart out.

"Hmm, I wonder... I read up these can be used in potion-making... Maybe should give these organs to a Zebra." Setting them down and cut out the meat normally I would eat it raw but... Eh oh well. Setting on a spit and moved it to cook. Looking to Iron claw eat removing the meat from the spit and started eating as well. As I look up blinking seeing large Enclave ships flying towards Everfree.

"Oh...boy...." Noticing some Enclave soldier's flying down towards to Iron claw and I. For the moment they seem to look at us... Then I spoke.

"Fuck off." I said to them they stared at me still. Iron claw looked at me.

I stood up and stared at them myself. Reaching for my pistol calmly staring intently at them with great anger in my eyes. One of them spoke to me.

"You're holding my sister hostage wolf..." I smiled showing my teeth.

"Oh...so that mare is your sister...don't worry she is alive... I am putting her to work...to redeem herself from the shit your kind caused. I am sure right now...you want to come and attack me... But I am not a threat...or does the great and mighty Enclave can't handle that someone beat them? Hmmm? The Lightbringer I am sure is beating you worse than I am...and taking her horn and fucking your ass with it..." Smirks

I could tell but how the male was flying he wasn't happy.

"Are you too scared to force your will on me, child?" Iron claw watched me with an amusing look on his face...

"Come on, come at me!! Are you too scared to?! I am standing right here...mocking you...like the worthless trash you are...give me proof that you have balls...or are you like every other villain in this world...full of empty threats.." Staring grabbing my pistol and lifting it getting ready to fire. They fly away as I lift my pistol and fire the energy bullet would hit the tail causing a bit of a burn to the armour.

"FINE RUN!!! I am not even a threat to you but someone that has beaten you like a red headed step foal!!" I sat back down and put the gun back in the holster and started to eat.

"Well, that went well."

Iron claw laughed.

"Yes... I would say it did..." He laughs. Looking towards him with a smile and went back to eating. I had enjoyed that... Hopefully I never have to run into them again. We ate the rest of the meat while I placed the drained organs in my bag to give to Kip. Going back to the bridge to wait. Then the guard came back.

"You can come in...grrrr but if you touch anything...you will be sorry..." I gave nod and we were lead to the leader. Iron claw gave a bow to the leader.

The leader growls softly as he speaks.

" What brings...you here...brother....and sister..." Blinking at that sister?

"Um... I am not a hell hound, though." The leader chuckles.

"We saw how you handled those two ponies... So anyone...who speaks that way to a pony and shoots them...is alright in our eyes..." I smiled calmly and chuckled.

"Well...being created by them during their little war...my kind are very anti-pony... I may have some pony friends..but the ones like the Enclave... No..."

He gave a nod.

So what brings you two here?" Iron claw allowed me to speak.

"Maybe to start a little trading we have a place the two of us live at... But first... I am here to find something. An item a pony warden left in one of the buildings here. It's a strange item to remove a seal from a stable. That is in our home... I was told it's in a building called Sugarcube corner." The leader's eyes go wide the guards drop their weapons a moment in surprise and the leader looks down.

"Many of our kind...have gone in there...to try to make a home...out of it...and never seen again. So if you could go in there...for us...and find this thing...then well grrr...cleanse it...we would be glad to trade with you..." Gave a nod slowly standing and looked to Iron Claw.

"Stay with them Iron... I don't think it's wise for you to come with me..." Iron Claw nodded. Giving him a smile.

"What building is Sugar Cube corner?" The leader grunted and a guard lead me to the building. The rest of the building is boarded up and locked there is a ladder leading up to the top. Looking to the guard blinking.

"That is the only way in miss...stay safe... If you see anyone alive in there..please bring them back to us." I gave a nod and went up the ladder getting inside the old building. I could smell decaying food. Took a breath and coughed a bit but it didn't bother me so much. Looked through the desk and seeing a photo of the ponies I was told about. Staring at it a moment. {These are the six mares that helped save the world?} I set it back down and felt it was wise to leave it alone. Looking through the rest of the desk finding nothing. Going through a closet there were clothes hanging there and I just blinked, looking to myself.

Wondering why the hell ponies wear clothing... Looking through it and finding a journal. Opening it up reading through. {Damn this mare is crazy.} I thought to myself and then I turned to a page and it said... "I'm not crazy!!" I laughed. {Right...} Turning the page again. It said. "I am not crazy Tiria, you are...you're reading my journal." My eyes went wide and looked around calmly feeling something evil is reading my mind at the moment.

Turned to another page it said. "Why are you reading this... and for your information, Tiria...we don't normally wear clothes." I spoke out loud looking around if somepony else was here. "I am searching for something." I turned the page. "Then why are you reading this?!!! Put it down now... Put it down now...or Celestia help you... I will wake up from the dead and haunt you!!! Oooooo." I set it down. Saying softly. "Okay, it's down on the floor." The page turned as I read it. "Good girl...now bye!!" My body had odd feelings as chills went down me...

{Oh....goddess...that was creepy.}

I brought out my gun like there was a ghost. Going down the stairs seeing no bodies or anything else. Seeing this is where the smell is coming from. Seeing rotten food and looking around seeing that no pony has been in here for years and of course fate played a joke on me... The floor fell from under me and I fell down harshly to the basement and there was a slide. As I fell on a pad and dust came up and I started coughing.

Looking around and turned the light on my Pip-buck seeing bodies of raider's other ponies that tried to raid this place. Also the missing Hell hounds. Looking around calmly my eye's trying to see what I can.

Looking around and heard a turret starting up and shooting at me. I got behind an old box as it stopped. Hearing robotic hooves and something hovering. I lifted up my pistol and getting ready to fire. A voice spoke

"Scanning complete pony blood found in invader you may come in." I blinked a moment looking down at the raider's who are ponies and others who came down. I stood up and slowly walked in seeing a large screen. Looking to the buttons and on the side saw the password.

Typing it in. Seeing the screen light up and see the Pinkie Pie. The pink pony started to speak.

"Ah yes...hello Tiria...did you put down my journal!?" I blinked and gulped and she laughed like a crazy nut. "I am sure you did. Now I know why you're here. You are after the seal that the warden left here... But to get it...there is a price. I need a memory from you. A precious memory... True I may never see it... But I need the most precious moment in your life... If it goes right you will still remember or you will forget. I'm sorry for this...but nothing is free." I started to feel pain in my heart... I had to give up a memory? A memory that I could forget. She spoke again. "I know this ain't going to be easy for you Tiria. But sometimes we have to give up something to protect those we love." She looks down tears falling from her eyes. "I wish I did that...maybe she would still be friends with me... I am going to try to get her...back." It turned off and I read when it was made...a day before the end... Tears fell from my eyes.

{So....she was going to fix her life...but she failed.} I saw a strange device with a memory orb come out and I closed my eyes and sat there putting it on. To think back.., Then I found the memory. My friends... Silver Gunner, Fleur De Les, Little hoof, Little Strong hoof the buffalo, Kipkipe, Shadow, Cannon Ball, Crow, Deep Thought, Iron Claw the Hell hound, and Star Shooter the little filly. The orb started to glow and the memory was copied and...just like that, I forgot them... I remembered why I was here, though. I looked back to the orb as I saw a door open up to lead me through a hall. But looking back to the Orb... I started to have tears fall from my eyes... Why was I crying? I have a job to do.

Went through the hall remembering I fought the Enclave to save a little town. I got to the end and saw the seal. A photo of six mares in dresses. I read on the back. "Please protect this...this is what you gave up...." I blinked, what did I give up? I left the room putting the photo in my bag. Looking for a way out and saw a little wall open up and went through it. That lead out through the back. I headed back to to the leader but I heard a large explosion looking towards the battle... That seemed to be getting worse... The enclave and whoever they were attacking.

Heading back to where the leader is.

"I got it...and found no one alive down there." The leader blinks and nods. I looked to Iron Claw and gave him a smile. Bowing my head to him. Looking back to the leader.

"Alright, would you like to trade with my town now?" He nodded.

"We shall we will be there when it's safe to leave." I nodded heading out as Iron Claw followed me. Looking at him and blinked.

"Are you one of the guards here leading me out sir?" Iron claw blinked looking at me.

"Um...no... I came here with you." I blinked not sure.

"Alright if you say so, sir." Iron Claw looked worried and asked the question.

"So how did you get it?" Looked over to Iron Claw.

"How did I get what?" Iron Claw spoke softly.

"The seal." He said with a soft growl.

" Oh, that...I was asked to give up something is some strange orb. I guess some Memory. I was told I would either forget or keep it...it. Eh, no harm Honour." I said to him with a smile and Iron Claw's eyes go wide. He stayed silent the rest of the way back.

Day 62: Freedom Town.

The two of us get back and the gate opens up and Kip comes to hug me and I blink at her.

"Nice to meet you miss... But I need to get going." Kip blinks tears in her eyes. Fleur came up to me and nuzzled me and hugged.

"Um...yes nice to meet you to...please excuse me." They all blinked and I stopped a moment as the little Filly runs to me I patted her head.

"Nice to meet you." She blinks and I walk back past her as I softly made out something Iron claw said.

"She...gave up her memories of us...in an orb..." I walked to the Steel ranger's and gave them the seal.

"This is the last one." She chanted the spell and the seal broke and a voice spoke in my head.

{You gave up your friends...} I felt...something call me... {Come...to me..child...you have freed me...come to me and bring that orb.} I walked back out and they were talking I saw them all even sand... They watched me go to the orb. I brought it out in its case and went back into the stable. Sand, Crow, Kip, and Silver gunner followed me inside. I kept hearing the voice.

{Come...to me child...wake me...release me... Come see....the final product of the Iron wolf Project. The reason why...the crystal brought you here... The reason why you are here... The reason why your mother vanished...} Following the long-dead bodies of the former prisoners here. I don't know why but if I had the memory I lost... This wouldn't be happening to me at the moment. I got closer to it this wasn't a prison stable it was meant to house something big.

I got to what it was at the end. Read what it said on the black tube. Iron wolf Project. {You were lied to Tiria...your kind wasn't created to be protectors. Your kind was created to be my army to take back our world from the unpure. Take the orb out of the case. The orb hmm... the orb... That pure crystal that crashed here so long ago. A piece of the moon..you see.. a piece of the real moon. Place it in the machine and let it's power wake me...}

I was about to but Crow stopped me grabbing my arm in his raven form and speaking.

"Tiria don't!! That orb is going to kill you!!" I dropped the case holding the orb in my other paw and placed it in the machine. As he let me go the others finally made it down. Kip, Shadow, Sand, Fleur, iron Claw, and Silver Gunner the others stayed above till they got me back. I stood there and waited as the tube started to be powered up. The orb started to dim a bit as the power was sucked from it. What came out was a large brain attached to a unicorn stallion. He had the body like me a mix a hybrid he was standing without the hunch. He stood right up like he was a pure being. Iron Claw spoke softly.

"I will stay on the other side just in case he finds a way to get through." The others nodded to him as he stayed on the other side watching.

He spoke out his brain had blood vessels that moved every time he spoke and he laughed softly.

"I am...free after...all these years." He looked to me and stroked my head as I was fully under his control but Sand never was because he didn't touch the orb. He rushed to me and shook me.

"Tiria!!! It's me....please wake up..." The large creature smashed him with a hoof and he went flying into the wall hard and fell to the ground out cold for the moment.

"SILENCE!! I hear you all....your minds oh the love...the friendship... This world...was meant to be run...without Princess without Harmony without friendship...see Discord had it right..Harmony brought the end of the world... Soo did friendship." Fleur tried to speak up.

"That is not true...friendship helped us friendship saved us."

"SILENCE!!" He lifted up Fleur and she gasped tried to use her magic to get away but she couldn't he brought her right to his eyes.

"Friendship and Harmony ruined this world!!!" He tossed her as she was thrown out of the room and the door closed. "You don't need her lies... Don't need her lies!!" Crow flew up and attacked the creature trying to claw his eye's out and with his mind, he grabbed Crow and stared at him.

"A bug!!" He tried to shatter every bone in his body he screamed as Silver gunner charged and knocked him out and Shadow had chewer firing trying to kill the creature. A bullet hit but the wounds would heal. Crow panted and fell to the ground. A bag opened up that was set down and Star Shooter came out. Crow's eyes go wide and went to the child placing her back into the bag and whispered.

"Stay in there little one." He zipped it back up but a bit to let her breathe. he then turned into a large creature to attack Kip was firing on him with her shotgun. He sighed and the chewer was removed from Shadow's Claws and tossed into the back. Kip's shotgun was tossed as well.

"Ah...robot...you forgot those that you cared about ....Remember..." Silver Gunner screamed as the dent in his head vanished. he fell to the ground looking at Remembrance. He went silent not even able to move looking at the Photo saying no words. Then the creature lifted up Crow and brought him to him fully as he forced him back into the changeling form.

"You're not pure...." He formed a spear from strange magic and stabbed it hard into the heart of the changeling and he tosses Crow's body on the stairs as he died right there. Crow was dead. Kip eyes go wide and charged in anger her hooves hitting the ground as she was picked up and smashed hard on the stairs her back legs broken. But she was alive knocked clean out. Shadow eyes go wide watching his adopted sister get hurt.

"I am going to kill you!!!" He charged and before the creature could stop him he clawed his face...it didn't heal...he stared at him. He laughed so strangely.

"Oh.....good job... Griffin, you got me to bleed... I wonder...." He used his magic to grab Shadow's wings and broke them he screamed in pain and tossed Shadow to the ground and stomped on his chest breaking a few ribs knocking him out cold alive... He looked to see Sand wasn't still against the wall Sand started fighting him with so much anger in his heart.

"Let...go of my wife!!" The creature laughs. "You should be under my control!!!" He tried to use it on Sand but it took effort Sand jumped around too much like one like us was trained to do. Jump around don't let them get a hit in. He got a few of his claws in even digging into the brain. Then he finally did it he made a wrong step and got caught. He held sand close to his eyes and stared at him.

"I can't have you trying to break through my slave...die." He glowed as every bone in Sand's body started to break and he screamed as he fell to the ground and tried to look to me seeing me in his dying eyes

"I love....you Tiria." He died as the resistance that was my friends stayed there... Silver Gunner wouldn't even move Shadow broken but alive... Kip alive was well. Crow and Sand Dead. Fleur was thrown out of the room and the door going down to lock. He laughed and looked to me.

"It's time soon the others of your species will feel that I am awake and then come in droves to bow to me!!" But the Star shooter poked her head out of the bag and trotted up looking at Crow. I looked at her in this stupper I thought to myself. A little one...seeing this. Why do I feel I know her... Looking to the bodies... I felt something come over me. I saw Sand's body... Why do I feel that I know him? Looking to Silver who was this? Then saw the little filly come to me tapping my leg.

"Tiria...." She looked up to me with large big eyes. "Please...why are they asleep and have red stuff coming out of them?" My eyes stare at her as the creature lifts her up.

"Not pure..." He starts to try to hurt the little filly. Her little left leg cracks as her bone is broken and she screams in pain crying. Then suddenly I started to remember it started coming back to I started to remember everything. I came out of the dream and looked at Star shooter Gasping and smashed my paw into the face of the pony and catching Star shooter as she fell and she sobbed as I layed her by the bag and my pistol fell out of the holster right beside her. Went to the creature looking to Crow my heart broke. I closed my eyes and put my paws on him to shake him.

"Crow... Crow!!!" I sobbed softly looking to Sand and my heart broke. I went to him shaking him.

"Sand!! Sand!!!" I remember what he said..now. {Tiria... I love...you... I love...you.} I started sobbing hard and looked to Kip and Shadow saw them both breathing. Looking to the creature growling and stood up fully.

"Why....would you do all this...why all this?!"

The creature smiles and laughs.

"When Nightmare Moon was forced into the moon. A piece of the moon flew out and smashed into the ground. No pony even knew about this. 1000 years go by the war slowly starting the mines and it's found. All these bodies you saw here...are the former creators. The one you met...is the one that ran...from here... He made your kind to fight me... But if any of your species hold the orb for a certain amount of time... I can control you... I was made...to stop the war... But they needed the orb...and he stole it. I was held in here for 200 years waiting. I spoke in the Steel ranger's dead minds... Yes, those Steel ranger's are dead... I used them...and now they're on the ground outside...dead... I am pure... I am your God!! I am the Iron wolf Project!!!"

Closed my eyes and stared at my friends. Looking up to him again. Feeling so much anger and rage building in my body. He hurt little Star shooter...he killed my mate, my friend... I was forced to forget because of this. Did Pinkie know...did she know?! My mind was full of many things. I went to Star shooter picking her up and hugged her as I went to the door and tried to force it open. Seeing a panel near it and opened it as the creature kept speaking about how amazing he was. His big brain seems to make him very easy to ignore. The door opens up and Fleur is there with Iron Claw I walk to them giving them Star Shooter.

"Close...the stable...lock it..if I open it...then it's me... Keep it closed otherwise... To keep him out of the world. if I don't return keep the town going..." Fleur nods so does Iron Claw as he holds the little filly. I closed the door back up and he stops stroking his ego.

"Why are you ignoring me?! I am your god you should be worshiping me!!!" I just stared at him my eyes full of hate and anger... Picking up my pistol and put it in the holster looking at him.

"So...tell me...are you always this stupid?" He blinks staring at me as I start to insult him.

"Oh no really...you have all these brains and you say you're my god... But no you aren't you're just a pony. A pony that was put into an experiment to stop the war... I can see how it failed... Did you used to be one of those that thinks their better than everyone else in the past? Did a mare ignore your want for sex? Did your mother never love you?" Smirking at this. He was growing angry.

"ENOUGH!!! How dare you insult me!!!" I smiled as he grew even angrier, the stable started to shake.

"I will insult you because it's so easy... You're a pony, a piece of worthless trash...that is trying to be better than the rest of the world... Oh please." I spit on the ground and stared at him.

"You ponies...think you can control what you don't understand. Just like the Enclave... The Enclave thinks they can control they can hurt... Through force... I can tell you're going through that same thing child." I gave him a smile winking. He grew so angry I could see the blood vessels popping and he tossed out some magic lances at me and I just watched him miss me from his anger.

"HA!! My mother could aim better than you...come on!!! You can do better you fucking worthless pony. You prove everything I have said is right... Ponies of the past are trash...only a few that are still alive are good enough. Looked to Silver Gunner who just sat there and I patted his head and he looked at me.

"Silver...fight with me." He nodded and stood up and holding the shotgun.

"Enough..pony...you have lost..already... Do you want to remove friendship? Harmony? The Lightbringer proved that friendship and harmony still exist. You can remove it...you can destroy it... Even this battle for 200 years has proved it... I am sure there are heroes going back to the end of the war to the now...trying their best to clean the world. Not all of them probably did it, though. Come on pony listen. You can't just try to control you."

"SILENCE!!" Silver gunner charged at him and the pony tried to stop him and he got a few bullets in his body but healed as he grabbed Silver with the magic and tossed him into the door. Standing back up as he is grabbed again and smashed over and over onto the floor and broken apart and tossed into a heap. I gasped seeing Silver broken but he looked at me and said.

"Fight...with your voice..." I stood there and stared at the creature.

"You think you can control what you want? Again you are so easy to mock... You throw such cute angry fits child." Smiled sweetly at him being a warrior like I should you insult and make fun.

"Oh please, you can't beat me." I come towards him as he grew angry and tried to attack I just kept going as I got face to face to him with the hunch in my back and he started getting so angry he tried to hit me right in front of me he hit me away a bit but laughed loudly.

"Awww. so... GAH!" He used the magic to grab my neck and growled with so much anger. He started to slice me with his magic causing many wounds and then dropped me to the ground and then stabbed me in my back as he tried so hard to kill me. I felt my body dying and knew if I died my pup will die with me. The howling dance glowed brightly and a light from it shined on my body.

___________

The mind.

"You must fight... Tiria..." I blinked looking at the orb and touched it and it turned into the spirit of Luna. I blinked staring at her. "Who...are you?'

The image of Luna looked to me and sighed giving a smile.

"I am a tear of the good that was in Luna...she went to darkness when she hit the moon... As Nightmare Moon a tear from the moon..that held some of her hope and good heart... Allow me to fall to earth... I am sorry you had to go through this all because of the tear. But I am not the real Luna... She is dead... I am what remains and after this... She will be fully dead. You need to stand and fight. When you open your eyes the howling dance will be a real crystal and only glow when the sun shines on it and crack. Please in the name of Luna... fight for her...."

I was forced back into my body, my pup alive thanks to this.

_______________

Stable

I opened up my eyes my body covered in wounds and blood. Slowly looked at those around me...

"How.....are you still alive?!"

I sat there a moment at the stairs seeing my dead mate again Crow again. I softly spoke.

"My time in the waste has made me learn... The dead will rise again... Even if they aren't really dead and the waste made their will dead... They will fight on...like the dead they are... For I am one...my will died...the waste beat me... It beat me down..it moulded me into what I am now... It hurt my heart... It broke my body... The golem...used me to give it death and blood it wanted." Standing up and looking down.

"I died...when my pack tossed me out... I died...when I touched the orb... I am already dead... I give birth to my child... I will die... You killed my mate... She will be alone without parents.... Like most children in this world." Looked up to him with my blue eyes glowing.

"You can force me down...you can try to hurt me all you want. I have no element in my heart... All I am is a warrior that fights for honour. I may be remembered when I pass... I might not... If I am remembered good...if I am not..and only for the things... I did... Then it doesn't bother me... I could be a mystery for all I care." I grabbed my gun and lifted it out of the holster. Looking at the pistol that has been with me on this adventure. Looking to the creature.

"I am going to end you. In the name of my friends... If I die... I die... But it's to stop you..." I looked up to him my eyes full of anger "You say you're a God.... Gods can die... For all gods in this world are dead..." I lifted up my pistol getting ready to fire.

"Die...oh God...die..." Fired at him as he started to attack me. As I did my best to dodge and got hit by some of his magic groaning. I felt the pain. Keep firing over and over. As I did the trigger was getting more and more overused. Some bullets hit him. Some didn't. I kept firing as I could when it hit..he couldn't heal because it was magic hitting magic. Finally, it happened... I pulled the trigger one last time and it broke the gun fell from my paw to the ground the trigger shattered.

I grabbed my mace and charged smashing into him over and over as our weapons clashed.

"You will bow to me!!!" I smirked laughing

"No..." looked to the orb it was still glowing. I had a feeling I had to use it. As I grabbed it and forced it out of the machine holding it in my paw and looked to him and kept attacking him with the mace as it's getting harder to fight him with the pain from the orb. I closed my eyes and Smashed the orb into the face of the pony he screamed and suddenly the entire area of the stable blew along with me there after the flash was removed from my eye the orb was beside me...but my arm was blown off. Looked to my friends they were fine... Crow and Sand still dead. I saw that he was back to normal I grabbed my weapon and went to him. Very weak but felt I had to deal with him.

"I was...meant to be a god......" He sobbed as he was now my species fully my species.

"Welcome.......and die..." He screamed as I smashed the mace onto him over and over screaming in anger and smashed his head down fully. Till nothing was left. I stood up looking to the orb, it was cracked and now like a real crystal... Going to Sand's body.

"I wish... I could...be with you, Sand..." I layed my head near him...as I felt like I was dying the world started to go black.

Dreams

I woke up in a dream looking around. I felt that I was in the dream looking to the Ghoul that formed in front of me. He said with a gentle smile and walked over to me and sighed.

"Tiria it's not your time yet... But when you do pass... I will be here...to take you to the next world. It's the least I could do even though you killed me."

Looked around and blinking.

"Then why am I here?" The ghoul lifted his hoof and the tree formed and all leaves were off it but one...

"You have one year...to enjoy your life... Tiria... I am here...to let you know... You didn't fail. The wasteland didn't beat you like you thought... You risked your life...to protect your friends... Even if Crow and Sand died. You are not ready to go. Please use the rest of your life... To help those that need you... Tell your friends to honour you with everything they do... Honour them..for when you die..you will only see them in the next world."

Sighed softly looking down at my paws and started to feel pain and coughed.

"I feel so much pain."

He smiled.

"That is good...take care miss Tiria I will see you in a year."

____________

Stable

I opened my eyes and coughed as my body was in so much pain... I stood up groaning and opened the door and headed out to get the stable open. I spoke in the communication device.

"It's me......everypony...please... Open...the stable." I fell to the ground as the stable opened and they rushed to me.

_____________________

Day 70 two weeks later

I opened my eyes I was laying in a hospital bed. Felt something attached to where my arm was... Feeling the Pip-buck on another arm... Hearing voices. One voice was Kip.

"It's been two..weeks... I don't know if she will wake..." Fleur then spoke.

"I am sure she will, she is strong."

I softly spoke.

"Kip? Fleur." They both looked to me and rushed over.

"You're awake!!" Kip had tears in her eyes

"Fleur go get them, go get them!!" Fleur nods and rushed out

"....I feel like I am in so...much pain..." Kip had tears falling from her eyes and nuzzled me all over my hurting body.

"Kip...please I hurt so much..." She giggled as the door opened up Shadow and Silver ran in. They started to cheer and Shadow had his wings wrapped up.

"Hi..." I smiled weakly... "What happened?"

"Well, The lightbringer...beat the Enclave... She has control of a device that will bring the world back to normal... But it will take time... The Enclave is having a war with itself...and Fillydeplha is free." I smiled softly.

"I am happy to hear...that...when will I see the sun?" Kip chuckles.

"The sun will be out when she learns how to run the device." I don't remember what happened...

"What happened to Sand and Crow?" The go silent and look away.

Same day: Small Graveyard

I was sitting in a wheelchair... they didn't let me walk as...everypony from the town was at the funeral for Sand and Crow. The one speaking was Iron Claw.

"I didn't know these two...very well. I met Sand after he shot me and he brought Tiria to me... He was very sweet and kind friend to me. I loved how he treated Tiria even if...she didn't love him at first... But I saw them fall in love. He was an interesting creature... But I never thought I would only meet them then to see him die. Crow...you could say he's the reason most of us are here... He was asked to follow Tiria...by the one known as Watcher. They both worked so hard to come and save her friends."

I just watched not even going to watch anymore I went away and I heard a robotic voice.

"Hello, Tiria.." Looking to see Watcher and I sighed.

"Hello, Watcher..." Looking up to the robot.

"I heard...what happened. It's on the news."

I turned on my pip-buck to hear it.

"In other news in a little town known as Freedom town... The wolf risked her life to end a creature of the past... But doing so..she lost a friend and her mate. I know your pain...miss wolf...keep fighting the good fight." I turned it off and looked to Watcher.

"Does it ever get any easier Watcher?" Watcher stayed silent for a moment.

"No...no it doesn't but keep them in your heart and it gets easier to deal with it... You can't save every pony Tiria...but you did what you could." Looking down and up to Watcher.

"I understand that... Thank you, Watcher." The robot went silent and it flew off and Kip came over with Fleur and they both leaned into me.

"Pain... I feel in my heart... I hope that someday I will see them again." A white unicorn comes up to me and stared at me...

"I am Seeker...when you heal... I have a quest for you." I stared at her and she walked off and vanished.

"I am going to get some sleep...goodnight you two." Slowly moved to my room, Fleur and Kip watched me so broken go in. I got out of the Wheelchair and slowly got in my bed so much pain... As I fell asleep knowing that someday I will join them.
