I tried to decide where to attach the life detection spell I was going to cast . This spell, however, was modified to behave more like a tripwire variant so I could tell if anypony got close to the Golden Oaks. I looked at the clock which now read 10:30 PM. I guess Moondancer decided to stay home. I hope she at least read the note which I had sent her. I really don’t want to go through the episode of Amending Fences if I could’ve avoided it. As I thought this, I sensed a large amount of mana pooling outside the library's front door.

What the … oh shit! I thought as the mana imploded and a large banging sound resounded just outside my new home.

“What in tarnation!” I heard Applejack shout.

“What the buck was that!?” Rainbow exclaimed from somewhere near the ceiling

Miss Dashel! I would kindly request that you mind your language! We have a minor here!” Rarity admonished Rainbow while both Derpy and Octavia nodded in agreement. “Though you put it bluntly, I agree that that noise was off-putting,” she added

“Oh, my! “I hope that nopony was hurt! That sounded like an implosion of some sort!” Fluttershy said.

“Do want me to check it out?” Vinyl asked heading towards the door.

“No, I got this,” Rainbow declared.

“Girls stop!” I said. “It’s probably just my friend Moondancer. It’s her birthday and I invited her down here to celebrate. That bang was likely a group teleportation spell. She must have brought her other friends down from Canterlot as you need more than one magic source to cast that type of group teleportation spell. Also keep in mind that all of her friends are thestral unicorns while she herself is something else.”

“Whatcha mean, sugarcube?” Applejack asked.

“I don’t know. Moondancer is complicated. She has Kirin heritage, but my magic sight has shown her to be an alicorn with semi-translucent ethereal wings. She doesn't seem aware of her wings so I assume that I'm seeing her future potential, but every once in awhile I see her wings interact with objects like her favorite sweater and other stuff so she may have them already but just can't seem to shift them into a physical state,” I explained. “Please don’t tell her-”

“Tell me what?” Moondancer queried as she walked through the door.

“Oh nothing. Only that she knows you’re an alicorn like her,” Pinkie blurted out as Moondancer took in the sight of me in my alicorn Dragonoid hybrid state.

“Koty?” Moondancer asked, her eyes going wide. “Koty, you’re ok!” she cried as she rushed at me with tears in her eyes and held me tight. “I knew I'd find you again! After all of these years, I knew I'd find you!”

“How do you know that name, Moondancer?!” I asked as the mare just held me tighter.

“You entered my dreams years ago and saved me from myself. I was depressed after my adopted parents passed away and I was having nightmares about being alone for the rest of my life. It got so bad that I started cutting myself and I was so close to ending it when you showed up appearing as you are now. You told me to look for the lavender alicorn and I wouldn’t be alone anymore. That night you gave me the spells to hide my unique wings.

“After physically meeting your younger self, I started getting better. You still met with me in my dreams. Then after two years you told me your human name: Dakota Keith Brown, or Koty for short.

“You stayed with me through some of my worst nightmares You helped me to live again and taught me that I wasn’t alone. That others like me existed!” By this point, Moondancer had started crying as her sobs shook the both of us as she continued. “Then one night I realized I had fallen for you and that terrified me almost as bad as the thought of losing you. By then I was 16 and your visits had become less and less. Then the night of my 17th birthday you just vanished. Twilight stopped hanging out with us as much, getting more and more lost in her studies and I started to lose it again but I held out hope for when you would return! Then I saw you in my dreams one night about three weeks ago! You were looking for me, but appeared to be as depressed as I was. I thought I was just dreaming until you saw me standing there and held me like this. You told me to send Twilight the invite. as you would respond to it. I still had my doubt about the dream, but seeing you here, seeing you instead of just Twilight proves to me that you are real and that I can love you. Please Koty, don’t leave me alone anymore! I don’t think that I could live like that anymore! Please, I love you! Can you not love me too?”

The memories of those nights hit me even harder than the moment when the Nightmare War memories overwhelmed me.

I had been able to visit Equestria in my dreams! While I was human, I had visited Moondancer so many times! I found I had fallen for her too, and seeing her like this reminded me why I stopped using that power. Like her, I started to fear that my dreams were just that, dreams. Therefore, whenever I found myself lucid and with Moondancer, I tried to stop the dream, because it hurt too much, thinking that Moondancer might not return my affections. Soon enough, I had stopped dreaming altogether due to my super deep sleeping habits. but when my soul came to Equis, my innate dream walking ability sent me back to ‘Dancer’s dreams. At first the dream had been indistinct and blurry, but after seeing ‘Dancer there, my heart swelled and I held her tight. My human life had left me without a lover, but I didn’t care anymore. I was fortunate to have had the love of so many already and with ‘Dancer and Chrissy, I could finally love somepony and be loved in return.

“Shush ‘Dancer, don’t cry. It’s my fault. You see, I had no idea I was dreamwalking back then. I had reasoned that I was just lucidly dreaming of Equestria and you. After a while, I realized I had fallen for a mare in my dreams, but I thought you were still just a dream so I decided to sleep less and tried my best not to dream. If I had known how much I meant to you, I would have told you about my own fears and stayed with you. My human life be damned. I'm so sorry I caused you such pain, please forgive this foolish mortal of his fears and allow me to love you back.

Are you saying? Chrissy asked through the link.

Yes, I am. I sent back.

“Moondancer, I want you to live with me, Spike, and Chrissy. Chrissy is my bondmate, but I want you to be my marefriend.

“You mean that?” Moondancer asked looking into my eyes for any trace of untruth and upon finding none she just wrapped her arms around me again. “Thank you, Koty. Thank you!”

“Wow! I never thought that Twilight was an interdimensional being or an alicorn. I guess she had good reason to lock herself up,” I heard Lemon Hearts whisper.

“Yeah, I always wondered why she avoided us all those times after her lessons with the Princess. I guess now we know.” Minuette Colgate replied.

“You do know that she can hear you, right?” Pinka informed the new arrivals as she munched on her cupcake. “She can hear everything which goes on in this library because of her extra sensitive ears.”

“Gah!” the two screeched, “When did you pop up?”

“Just now,” came Pinka’s deadpan reply.

“Hay Twilight, are you done with the mushy stuff yet? I want to watch the show!” Rainbow called down from a cloud bench she had made for the now eight alicorns in the building.

“Yes Rainbow, I’m done. Let’s get this party started!” I called back. “Go sit on the cloud ‘Dancer I'll be up in a minute. I'm just casting a couple of spells to show a bit of my older memories.”

Wiping her eyes Moondancer smiled. “Okay Koty, just don’t make me wait too long.”

“I won’t, my love.” I said as I cast a mind-viewing spell and a projection cantrip to allow me to sit on the cloud bench while still manipulating the mind spell.

The projection screen turned black as I sat on the clouds in between ‘Dancer and Chrissy.

“I'm going to start off with some background so all of you know how I, as you see me now, came to be. Spike knows almost all of this, but I just received some new memories after ‘Dancer hugged me so I am going to include those as well.”

After telling them about how I came into being and showing the highlights of both my pony and human lives. the group was astonished to learn that I had control over all magic on the planet through the Elements. I then showed them my swords and guns.

“These blades are made with the finest steel forging technique I have ever known. They can cut through almost any armor due to their obsidian-like sharpness. Those weapons there are called firearms. The griffons have lower tech versions of these in the form of their flintlock pistols, but humans have made them more powerful and even have multiple types of ammunition.” I pointed to the secondary barrel of my pistols. “This barrel holds a single shot tranquilizer dart powerful enough to knock out most elder dragons like Spike here.”

Upon seeing a look of confusion upon all of the faces in the room, I explained. “Spike is a unique case in the dragon realm. He is only 15 years old physically, but he can change size and shape at will without greed affecting him much. He is technically an elder dragon due to this, but he is also a little under a thousand years old, if his time in his egg is accounted for, and like me he was born through magic. However, he has also absorbed some the magic of each test subject who tried to hatch him before I successfully hatched him while experiencing my magical surge, thereby supercharging him and making him as powerful as any elder dragon. His power almost nears that of a Drago ICVICIS’s level.”

“Huh, never did think about that,” Spike mused aloud.

“Pinkie, Pinka, what time is it?” I asked looking out to the moon to see that three of the four stars were in place already, which meant that my mothers would soon be coming home.

“It’s 5:00 AM. Why? You worried about your mom?” Pinkie asked.

“Yeah, but I'm more worried about ‘Dancer and the others. Listen up everypony. The eight alicorns, well nine including Chrissy, have something to talk about so please reapply your glamour and head out to Town Hall. It has to do with my mothers so don’t worry too much when she shows up, but due to Discord’s mind games, they may have lost some sanity, ok? Just don’t push them and they won’t attack you. Got it?’ Getting nods from all in the beings in the room, I smiled. “Good! I’ll see you all after my mothers and I finish talking.”

After the others left, I flew up to my room and grabbed my backpack. As I strapped in on it felt quite a bit heavier so I opened the front pocket to see what Truth had given me. There were only two things inside but they were something I hoped I could someday recreate. One was a Keyblade and the other was a box with Keychains in them. I found a note in the box.

Hey, there little princess! I dropped these in here after you separated Pinka from Pinkie. The Keyblade is one which Twilight would wield, in that picture you like, but I also added these Keychains as well for some variety, so have fun!

Truth

Thanks Truth

Your welcome little princess. Oh! Check the bag again! I just dropped something in I know you’ll like!

When I checked again I found nothing but a leather bound book. But I recognized this book. The cover had a gold and red sun on it.

“Sunset’s notebook! Wait that’s not right this isn’t the same book,” I mused aloud. Upon closer inspection, I found the sun icon also had my cutiemark in the middle.

This will allow you to speak with Sunset directly and she won’t be able to ignore it either as it is tied directly to her mind in a way. If you write in this book the thought to check on her copy will creep into her mind and not leave until she reads what you wrote. That way you can talk to her if you want. I shall bid you goodbye for now, little princess. Till we speak again.

“Thank you,” I said with a tear in my eye. Knowing that this gift would allow me to start my herd faster.

Putting the book back in my bag, I unsummoned both my Keyblade and the Keychains and glided back down to the cloud bench where the others were waiting.

“So sugarcube, what did you want to talk about?” AJ asked

“It’s about that last warning I gave the others girls. The truth is that the Elements have been keeping both of my mothers’ sane this whole time, but when they come home that will be gone. Their mind will snap, but I'll reveal my latest form to calm them down enough to send them to the elements where we will separate them and heal their minds, ok? I ask that you to back me up when this form is shown as I'll be quite a bit darker in both voice and appearance.”

“Well if you show us, we’ll back you up egghead!” Dash vocalized.

“Ok,” I said as I let go of my full glamour. The bone plate spread and my fur grew dark my wing membranes tattered slightly as I grew even taller, rivaling even Tia’s 11-foot height before my body compressed down to a 6’5” height to make me even stronger. My hair grew out and changed into its true ethereal state similar to the Tantabus’ body. The last things to change were my eyes as their already slitted appearance grew darker as my whites turned black and my mask settled on my muzzle.

“This is my new state of power,” I said, “I hope this form doesn’t scare you.”

“Wow, just wow.” Moondancer said

“That looks awesome!” Rainbow Dash said

“It has a beastal beauty to it.”Rarity exclaimed in awe

“Wow mom! I didn’t think you would shrink.” Spike said. “Even though you shrank, you’re still a bit taller than anypony here.”

“Mom? Who are you calling ‘mom,’ little guy?” Pinkie asked while Pinka nodded in approval.

“ Spike is in a way both my son and little brother,” I told the two pink ponies. “I hatched his egg when I was eight and since I was so young my current parents raised him till I was old enough to move out.”

“Ah that makes sense,” Pinka said.

“So Applejack what do you think? Will you back me up when I show this in town hall?”

“Of course, Twi,’” the orange farm mare replied. “Ah’m a little worried ‘bout Shy here though. She seems to be staring at you a bit too hard.”

“Fluttershy are you alright? Like Aj said, you’re just staring.”

“L-lady Nova?” I heard her whisper in awe.“Even though you told me the truth back there I never thought I would see your full glory so soon. Thank for this privilege my lady.”

“Fluttershy, dear, you’re scaring me,” Rarity said. “Just what do you mean with those words.”

Tell them Koty. Chrysalis telepathically communicated with me.

“Well me and Chrissy have history with Fluttershy’s family during the Nightmare War.”

“Her Mother is the Mistress of the vamponies while her Father is the lord of the Timberponies both of whom are Alicorns,” Chrysalis started. “Lady Nightmare had started a war that culmanated in her being banished but the alicorn generals besides my mother and Twilight kept fighting for years after.”

“I hadn’t been born at the time but my parents told me that the elements were used on both Twilight, who to protect herself, had been going out under the name of Nova and Luna was called Lady Nightmare, while leaving Princess Celestia in critical condition.” Fluttershy took over “ My mother and father were the last generals left after Twilight was supposedly killed and continued fighting. My mother had to take over for Twilight in leading her forces after that. The treaty that ended the war states that until Lady Nightmare is free, all night ponies must remain hidden. Which is why until tonight I didn’t show my vampony form.”

“True, I had lead the vamponies in miss ‘Shy’s stead as she was too weak after Discord's mad assault on her a year prior.”

“Wow, again just wow,” Moondancer said. “May I ask just what the war was about?”

It was about the three main pony tribes trying to kill off all the ‘non-ponies in their midst,’” Chrysalis stated flatly.

“Enough doom and gloom,” I said as I sifted back to my dragonoid-alicorn hybrid form. though now that all my seals had been loosed my body barely changed. The bone plate armor had shrunk, but remained on my wing edges though it colored itself to match my coat. And my mane coat and tail returned to their normal state. “Let's get to town hall. The time is almost here.”

We all applied glamors to hide our alicorn appearances and headed out to meet my mothers.
