Light, it's the bane of my existence. Somehow, no matter how much I managed to block out the sun when I sleep, it always finds a way to burn my eyes awake. It didn't help that I had a massive headache from eating shit like a boss. Though, how I ended up eating shit in the first place was the greater mystery. I opened my eyes and winced from the dim sunlight that barely penetrated through the mist that surrounds my entire form.

'Where am I?' I thought as I sat up on damp, yet, soft grass that came up to my stomach. I quickly checked to see if I still had my stuff. 'Okay, jacket, check, earrings, check, claws that Umbra made, check, and guns with the Pocket Infinity enchantment in their holsters, check,' I thought as I patted myself down. I let out a sigh of relief that I still had everything that I brought with me from the castle. I didn't want to know what would happen to me if Umbra found out that I borrowed her latest invention and lost them at sea. I don't want to know what she would do to my cute, little, pussy if she found out about that.

I looked around through the haze in an attempt to figure out where I was, but it was fruitless to try and see something that you can't. The fog was so thick, that I couldn't see my hooves just inches from my face. I frowned that my eyes were useless at the moment, and turned on my Air Sight.

"What the fuck?" I muttered under my breath as I turned to the disturbance in the force, and began walking towards it. Just a few meters away from me, felt like the bridge of my ship was ripped from the hull and got funky with a nearby tree. I walked over to the bridge, careful no to trip on anything that I came across.

I jumped over a small boulder with a burst of my wings and glided into the staircase of the bridge and regaining my sight from the light that was coming from the top of the staircase that was ripped, and torn, making it impossible to use the stairs again.

"Tsk," I clicked before I teleported to the top, avoiding the arduous climb to the top.

"So where the fuck are we?!" shouted a mare from down the hall from inside of the bridge where I could feel some warmth leaving the room. I instantly recognized the tone that was similar to Aunt Firefly and figured that Daring Do, somehow, got dumped along with me.

'But who was she talking to?' I thought as I walked over to the slightly ajar door of metal.

"How am I supposed to know?! We get pulled into a storm and woke up here after the kid got knocked out while flying the ship! And she is either dead or somewhere on this fucking island! I. Don't. Know," a gruff, deep voice replied as I peeked into the room, and sure enough. Redbeard, Daring Do, Nova, and Stephen were all sitting beside a small fire that was made from a couple of emergency heating crystals.

"Well ain't that great! The only pony that knows about this foggy place is the Black Queen. Just perfect!" Daring said disdained as she threw her arms in the air in exasperation.

"why don't you ask her. She has been standing by the door for the past few minutes," Nova said, causing everyone to pause and look at the door.

'Traitor, you ratted me out,' I thought as I walked into the room and instantly felt the hostility from Daring Do, and the relief from Nova, Stephen, and Redbeard.

"You!" Daring pointed with a hiss. "Where the fuck are we?"

My ears flattened from the sheer hate she was glaring at me with, but I wasn't going to be pushed around by her, and if she was anything like Spitfire, I know how to break her in a few, choice, words. "I don't know," I replied before I sat down beside the fire.

"How in the holy fuck! Do you, not, fucking, know!?" she screamed at me, causing everyone to back away from the mare that was discharging lightning off of her body.

"I was fucking knocked out before I could map our location!" I screamed back. "And I don't think that Spitfire Hawk Moon would be too fucking happy that you are screaming at her daughter!"

Everyone's eyes went wide again like they did back in the prison inside the mountain, erasing her hostility that I knew Spitfire's whole name when not even her sister, Fleet Foot, knows about it. Of course, I heard her say it to herself to hype herself up before she went on a date with Feather Flight, it was the only time that I heard her say it, but when I asked her what her full name was. She told me that only Daring Do knows it, and only she is allowed to call her that, but since I knew it. Daring should take me seriously that I am Spits illegitimate child that has gained her absolute trust in me.

"What did you say?" Daring said in disbelief, I just snorted in response.

"Spitfire Hawk Moon would be pissed that you are swearing at her daughter, and the last person that did that ended up inside of a cement wall that was a few meters thick. So shut up and stop calling me the Black Queen. It's bad enough that the Dragons call me the Goddess of Twilight. The Black Queen is just annoying."

"I think we should leave before they start fighting," Steph whispered to the others before Nova, Redbeard and Steph walked out of the room through the broken window that leads to the rest of the broken ship. Leaving Daring Do and me, alone.

"How...How do you know that name?" she said on the verge of going ape shit on my ass. I prepped my Air Bubble spell in case the fuming mare would attack me, but if that was going to happen. Then I was going to bring her down with me.

"I know that name because she cares about me, unlike you, A.K Yearling, who runs from her children. Seriously, even Aunt Firefly came back to Rainbow Dash after being dead for ten years. So why didn't you?" I snarled back at her and saw that each word that I said drove a white-hot spike in her chest.

"How—"

"Shut it!" I cut her off. "Before Spitfire and I became as close as we are, she cried herself to sleep every night because you weren't there to see her shows!" I screamed, causing her ears to flatten and her to take a step back. "She stared at that old picture for hours on end because she thought that you died during one of you trips and were never coming back!"

"I—" she tried to say with tears welling in her eyes. Telling me that she was no longer angry, and was now believing that I was her granddaughter, but I didn't let her finish. I have been waiting to chew her out, and I know that Firefly, Fleet Foot, and even Spitfire wants to scream their frustration at the dirty yellow mare that has a serious fetish for almost dying.

"I WHAT?! I had a duty to Equestria?! I have seen you drop those mercs like flies, but you let Ahuizotl live!" I paused for a moment to see her raise her hoof for an answer that I already knew she was going to say and prevented her from saying it by shoving her into the wall.

"DON'T FUCKING TELL ME THAT CELESTIA TOLD YOU TO KEEP THAT DEMON FROM TARTARUS ALIVE! BECAUSE IF YOU DO, THEN YOU ARE JUST AS BAD AS THAT CHILD MURDERING BITCH THAT CONTROLS THE FUCKING SUN!"

After me screaming in her face, she curled up into a ball, tears coming from her eyes. She didn't dare meet my cold, hard stare as I stood over right beside her, preventing her from moving away from the cold steel wall. I didn't feel any remorse for yelling at her, but I could see that once she backed off and tried to defend herself by using her, 'duty for the greater good,' card. She couldn't do anything but put up a shield from the truth, and I wasn't going to let her have it.

"Well? Answer me!" I demanded to the dirty yellow mare.

"What do you want me to say!?" Daring shot back. "That I am a horrible mother? That I was ordered by Celestia to keep that fuck, Ahuizotl alive? That I can never see my little Hawk Moon again because of you! That—"

*Slap!*

"Don't you ever throw me under the bus because Celestia lied to you that I would never let you see mom again," I hissed at the stunned mare as a red mark slowly appeared on her face before I slapped her again to drive my point.

"Whatever the fuck that Celestia told you, get rid of it., because if you don't. You will break Spitfires and Fleet Foots heart, and mine is on the verge for how much you hate them!"

"I don't fucking hate them!" she instantly shot back and stood back up in defense mode, like I needed her too. She was so close to seeing the light I just need one final push on her spirit to hammer in the final nail in the coffin and bring her home.

"Then why aren't you visiting them at Fleet Foots place in Silent Hill? The guards would let you walk on by without a second thought. You can be a part of the family again, yet you chose to believe a bitch that wants war instead of peace! You, Fucking, Hate, Them!"

"No, I don—!"

*Slap!*

"Don't fucking lie to me, Daring! I can tell from how much you are trying to dodge the question!"

"—I DON'T FUCKING HATE THEM!" She shouted back, pushing me to the ground. "DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE SAY THAT HATE THEM!"

I stood back up and pulled out my dragon claws, and quickly grabbed Daring by the throat, and threw her over my shoulder before pinning her to the ground. She struggled in my grip as I turned on Limitbreak, my new version of Blood Rage. Causing my fur to erupt into a white fire while my mane and tail, burst into a blue fire. Darings anger towards me died again and was replaced by pure fear. I knew that I was going overboard, but I was not going to let her play the victim card in this situation.

"Lie to me, one more time, and you'll know how much I take from Spitfire," I hissed and dark, and venomous tone that sounded like I was growling like a one-hundred-meter tall dragon. She stared into my eyes, sweat beading down from her brow as I held her to the ground. In the corner of my eye, I could see in the reflection of a piece of broken glass, that my eyes have changed. I bet Daring was shitting herself that both of my eyes were glowing purple slits with the whites as black as night. A cool thing to look at, if I wasn't on fire. I could only imagine how terrifying I was, but right now. That was not important.

'Now then, time for that nail,' I thought as I loosened my grip to allow Daring to speak.

"I'm not letting you go until you tell me why you hate Spitfire. Now talk before I order Luna to tell Spitfire that I am bringing you home, in chains," I demanded to the trembling mare that finally gave up on trying to break free. She looked conflicted about something that only I could tell at the moment was in between, remorse and shame. It was like she didn't want to tell me anything, but once she realized the position that she was in, she had no choice.

I retracted my claws back into their bracelets, but I kept my hoof firmly planted on her chest while she tried to look away from me, but she always glanced back. Not knowing what to say that could prevent her from telling the truth. I darkened my stare, telling her that I was growing impatient. She opened her mouth for a second before just crawling back into her shell again.

"I-I don't hate Spitfire, I just...I just can't see her again, nor Fleety," she finally stuttered out.

"Why?" I asked, turning off my Limitbreak, and pulling slightly away from her.

"I-I was ordered, by Celestia, to keep them safe," she choked out. I just frowned at her.

"So, let me get this straight. You were ordered to keep them safe by not being there, from someone that you were also ordered not to kill? That is the most stupid reason that I have ever heard, and you should be ashamed of yourself. Have you ever thought that maybe, just maybe? That they can take care of themselves? I have seen Spitfire travel from one side of the world to the next in one hour, to wreck a Black Op assassin. If you just had a talk with her, then you would have known that she was one of Celestia's elite guards," I stated. She just stared at me like I was crazy that Spits was an assassin.

"Don't look at me like that because I know for a fact that Celestia didn't want you, nor Spits to be together because you both are Elite Operators that work in different fields. The fact that you deliberately stayed away from Spits and Fleety for no fucking reason, just proves how much you hate them."

"I told you that I don't hate them!" she defended.

"If you don't hate them, then why didn't you visit them when they ran to a place that is ten times safer than Equestria?" I countered.

"I-I-I..."

"I, what?" I hissed, "I was ordered to? Didn't Celestia tell you that Spits was also ordered to adopt me? Didn't Celestia tell you that she gave me all of my current power? Didn't she tell you that The Elements of Harmony themselves have seen the lies and moved out of Equestria to live in a safer place? Or did she tell you that all Humans are evil even when she has been hiding them since the dawn of time?" I asked over and over again. Each question making it harder for her to defend her case. "Well? Speak up!" I demanded.

"I know!" she blasted back in tears. "I know all of it, but I couldn't run like they did! Celestia has a fucking spell on me that will kill me if I didn't complete her missions to gather artifacts for her! She is the one that threatened their lives! Not Ahuizotl! I can't even go near them because I will die, and it hurts," she bawled. "It hurts so much that I can never see them again. That I can never bring them down the isle if they get married, that I can't visit my grandfoals. I cry myself to sleep ever night that I have disappointed them so much. The only thing that I can do to tell them that I am alive, and out there with my book."

I took a step back and watched the grown mare break down into endless tears as she curled up into a ball by the fire. She mumbled on and on that she had to complete her mission, write her book then go on another adventure, just to keep herself from thinking about Spitfire and Fleet Foot. Though now that I know the truth about why she was unable to see them again was because of a spell that Celestia had placed on her, made me even angrier from the bullshit that she was doing to her ponies. But I couldn't do anything. Not yet anyway, however. There is one thing that I can do to Daring that would break that enchantment on her.

"Luna?" I said through our link as I laid down beside the sobbing mess of a mare that I created.

Ah! Winter, how may I help you? I take it that you are near the temple now?" Luna responded with a chipper tone through the link.

"Yeah, I can tell that we are close to the entrance, but we have run into a problem," I replied as I cuddled up with Daring.

"What kind of problem?" Luna asked as I felt Daring began to bawl into my mane.

"The Dark Lurker Enchantment, kind of problem," I replied as I heard Daring go on and on about how much I reminded her about Spitfire when she was just a foal.

"Oh...Are you certain? And with who?" Luna asked with more concern in her tone.

"You are such a sweet and nice filly, *Hick!* Sure you are a little bitch, but you. *Hick!* Are so, so caring," Daring cried as she nuzzled me like a long, lost teddy bear. I cracked a smile and nuzzled back.

"I'm certain. The enchantment was placed on Daring Do, who is killing me with affection right now and why do so many mares have bipolar emotions?" I asked.

"To answer your question, hormones, but for the Enchantment. I can do the spell through our link, but you need, 'direct,' contact for it to work," Luna said, bringing me relief that I can save Daring from her dilemma, but I have to wonder what she meant by, 'Direct,' contact with Daring.

"What do you mean by, 'Direct?'" I asked as Daring was starting to calm down from her sudden sobbing fit.

"Well...It is common for a Pegasi family to engage with an adopted member with more, 'Intimate,' means of growing closer with said member," Luna said sheepishly, causing me to blush, have an eye twitch, and sigh, all at the same time. Knowing that, 'Direct,' meant, lip touching or worse, which didn't help with my mommy issues with the Milf holding me like a teddy bear. I could only imagine how she would react to being saved, and kissed by me.

It was not a happy sight.

"Fine, just...Get ready. I want to end this quickly," I replied before hearing from Luna that she was already ready with the spell. I prodded Darings side, causing her to look at me in the eyes with both a crestfallen expression and red and puffy eyes.

"Do it," I said before I closed my eyes and added another fetish to my ever growing list of kinky.

"Hmhmpff!" Daring gasp as I felt my body explode with power before said power was transferred into Daring. We both watched with slight fear as a magic rune appeared around Daring's neck. Daring began hyperventilating, and used my mouth as a paper bag, causing me to go wide eyed as she sucked my tongue out of my mouth and down her throat like a vacuum. A blush appeared on both of our faces as the magic rune began cracking like glass for a few seconds from the spell doing its job before it shattered into oblivion.

"And done!" Luna cheered. "I hope that helps, but I have things that need my attention in the dreamscape. I'll talk to you later, bye." Luna said just as I pulled away from Daring's lips that were eerily similar to Spitfires.

"What did you do?!" Daring asked as she gasped for air.

"I broke that enhancement so that you can see mom again. That's what I did," I replied as I wiped my lips from the spit that Daring left behind, but it was fruitless. She yanked me back into another hug and planted her lips on me again, causing another blush to form on my face that the milf was a better kisser than Spitfire before she pulled away saying a million, "Thank you's" while she crushed me in an embrace, however. All I could think about was how much of a bipolar she was in comparison to Spitfire, and it was scary.

I let out a tired sigh as I laid next to Daring by the fire with her wing draped over me like a blanket. After she finished sobbing again, before yelling again, before cuddling again with me for saving her from Celestia's grasp. She passed out from all of the excitement, just as everyone else came back to see me in my current position.

Redbeard I could tell was a bit drunk while Steph and Nova were giving me a strange look. I rolled my eyes at them and told them that we had a heart to heart, which I should have seen coming. They all gasped, blinked, and called me scary for being able to tame that mare that has been giving them a hard time before I showed up.

Though, I had to wonder what Daring was doing to make them fear her as much as they fear me. 'Must be part of the family,' I chuckled internally as I ate an MRE that consisted of Salsbury steak, water, and a caesar salad. As I ate in silence, the tension in the room was slowly growing.

I could tell just by looking into Redbeards eyes that he wanted to say something, but each time he tried to, I took a bite out of my rather pleasant steak, making his complexion look quite green. I had my fun with making the only awake vegetarian, but Daring had to wake up and steal the show by stealing the rest of my steak, and chowing it down like it was nothing, then asked for more.

Redbeard, the most ballsy stallion in the room, had to leave because the mare that was giving her a hard time ate something that she couldn't have eaten because she was a herbivore. I, however, was mad that she stole my food while Nova and Steph kept to themselves. Daring gave me a cheeky smirk, and my eye twitched that she was more bipolar than Spitfire was.

I could only hope that she wasn't like this when we leave the destroyed ship to find the entrance to the Temple of Alta.

"I still can't believe that those two are related," Steph whispered to Nova as we walked while being tied together through the fog. Both Daring and I ears instinctively twitched at the same time, earning us more gossip when I told everyone not to talk so I could focus on guiding all of us to the alter to use the key that Daring, somehow, manage to steal from Ahuizotl before she was imprisoned.

When she showed us the key, I was quite surprised to learn that it was a blue, sapphire, ocarina, but that surprise died when I put two and two together and realized that father Murphy was going to send us sound puzzles.

I hate sound puzzles.

Daring couldn't understand why the key was a musical instrument, but I didn't bother to tell her that. I was going to have to play a certain song that I remembered from my childhood, and if that song did, in fact, have some magical properties. I was going to find the asshole that made it possible for music to be used as a weapon and beat the living shit out of him with his creation.

Of course, after she showed us the key, she instantly wanted to go and find the temple in the fog. Steph, Redbeard, and Nova made it very clear that they didn't want to go out in the fog, but since they weren't Pegasi, they didn't know the difference from, real fog, and magic fog. Daring and I explained the three of them that the Magic Fog wasn't going to go away. Ever. Nova, Stephen, and Redbeard grabbed their stuff and joined us on our adventure.

'Our Adventure. I like the sound of that,' I smiled internally.

"Same here, but they are related to Spitfire and Fleet Foot, the two former Wonderbolts as well as Rainbowdash, the Element of Loyalty," Nova whispered to Stephen as we turned down a grassy meadow.

"Damn, talk about a family of power, and here I thought the Ignis clan was powerful," Stephen replied through more whispering, causing Daring to frown as she tried to figure out where we were going.

"Who are they?" Redbeard asked out loud, causing both me and Daring to stop and glare at all three of them, but before I could tell them to shut up, I heard flapping in the distance.

"What's that?" I asked quickly, before I pulled out my claws and Desert Eagle's.

"I don't know," Daring replied as she grabbed her brown leathered whip. "It sounds like a Harpy, but I can't be sure with all this fog."

'A Harpy?' I thought as I felt the air to get a read on the flying thing, but I was having trouble with how high and far away the thing was. 'Well, I know that we are close to the altar, we should probably make a run for it if it is, in fact, a Harpy. We need the cover and three members of our party cannot fly.'

"Then let's get moving. We are just a few meters away from the altar where we will wait for Spooks and anyone else that may have survived," I said as I picked up the pace on my two hind legs.

We quickly arrived at a small hut made of stone that looked like something that Laputa's castle in the sky would have. Outside the altar was nothing but fog, but on the inside was another story. The room was small, sure, but the intricate carvings were absolutely, gorgeous. Depictions of the wind and a beautiful Pegasus mare with giant wings decorated the stone walls. There was no fog inside the wonderous altar, even though the entryway was wide open.

We could still hear the flapping sound outside of the altar, but it stayed outside. Judging by the erratic flapping of the Harpy, it didn't come inside for some unknown reason. The fact that it wasn't going away didn't help our odds of getting out without a fight was increasing slim with each passing second, but it didn't matter at the moment. I was more concerned with Spooks and her friends. I pray to Luna that they are alright.

Daring and I walked over to the far end of the Altar where there was a giant tablet with a long text in strange writing. Daring was already trying her best to decipher it from top to bottom, but what I was more concerned was the where I supposed the play the ocarina to activate the key. I wondered what the hell she was looking at that was so fascinating about an old tablet with writing that I don't understand while Redbeard, Nova, and Steph set up camp for the night.

"What does it say?" I asked the mare writing down something from a notebook she pulled out from her hat.

"Not much," she said as she looked over her notes. "It's written in the old language of the dragon's, but most of it is gibberish except for a few lines, however. What lines that I do have will take some time to decipher," she said as she scratched her head with her pencil.

"Let me see?" I asked the mare, wanting to see if my suspicions were true about the ocarina.

"Have at it kid," she chuckled as she handed me the notebook. I took it from her hooves and read it with gusto to solve the riddle.

Play thine Song of Storms.
Knight of Courage.
For entrance to thine keep.
Ye' who enters not of the holy three, into the land of the Crossbreeds.
Shalt perish to the Guardians of the Wind.

"Fuck me," I sighed as I handed it back to the smug looking Daring Do.

"It's hard, huh?" Daring cheekily said. I just rolled my eyes.

"Not really. I know the song that the text is referring to, I just can't believe that I will have to play it to activate a sound puzzle. And I hate sound puzzles," I groaned while rubbing my temples.

"What?! How can you know the song?" Daring exclaimed in exaggerated disbelief. I looked at her with my own smug smile and activated one of my dragons claws, and flipped her the bird.

"Magic."

Author's Notes:

Sorry it took so long, but I recently got a better room at my shelter which has a T.V, so I have been binge playing all my fav games again since I took my Xbox 360 with me when I was kicked out of my old place. Though, I still have to go to the Lib to use da internet, but, at least, I get to try and get every achievement on Dark Souls 1. Have them all on Dark souls 2, which took a while. Anyway!

Video games have returned to my life again! Yay!
