Branches flew past me as I ran through the thick forest. I looked down and, instead of seeing my hands, I saw paws. My eyes then turned to the path ahead and I saw a midnight blue object running away from me. My body then seemed to run faster but the thing never got closer but stayed at its distance. Suddenly I saw it run through a bright light in the trees. I followed and saw I was on a hill overlooking a vast valley, and before me was the midnight blue thing with it's back to me. The thing seemed to be gazing up at the bright full moon that hung in the star filled night sky and as the thing was about to turn around the world vanished.

---

I opened my eyes and saw I was not in-between Nightmare's breasts again. I was staring up at the ceiling calmly, my mind a complete blank. Suddenly something white waves in front of my vision. At first I thought nothing of it but when it appears again I then look up and see Loki was curled up upon my head and was sleeping soundly. I then felt movement on my stomach. I looked down and saw Flurry Heart and Pipsqueak were resting on both my stomach and chest like I was some kind of pillow. I then looked at Nightmare and I saw the other Cutie Mark Crusaders along with Midnight were resting on Nightmare who seemed to have a small smile on her face.

I then gently moved the foals off me without disturbing them before I went to go get myself cleaned up. After that, and seeing that the group on the bed was still asleep, I made sure to exit the room quietly. Once I shut the door I felt something whoosh past me but when I went to look, it was gone. I shook my head before I decided to walk around the castle on my own for a bit. I also saw a few panicking servants here and there that made me wonder what was going on before I stumbled upon what appeared to be the throne room with Luna, Eris and Cadence inside.

"Any sign of them?" Luna asked.

"Nothing, it's like they vanished," Cadence said.

"What's going on? Everyone seems to be in a rush this morning," I said as I entered.

"Bones please tell us you know where the foals are, they're all missing," Luna said as she flew up to me with a panicked look in her eyes.

"Whoa, calm down, listen I know where they are and I can assure you that they are safe and sound. I'll take you too them now," I said.

"WHERE!" the three mothers screamed at me.

"Take it easy I have a question for you also," I said as I backed away a bit and created a door before we walked through it and stepped into my room. "Why exactly are your foals in my bed?" I asked as I gestured to the sleeping forms of Nightmare and the kids.

"Wait you didn't take them?" Cadence asked.

"Both Nightmare and I went to bed before dinner could get started so how exactly could we have done that? Besides why would either of us do such a thing if we know how thin the ice is between us and Celestia, including you lot," I said.

"Fair enough but if you didn't take them then how did they come here?" Luna asked.

I then noticed Eris was trying to avoid my gaze and was rubbing the back of her head.

"Something on your mind Eris?" I asked.

"I...may have sorta...miscalculated in teleporting the foals to their beds," Eris said causing us to sigh in annoyance.

"Well no matter. They've been found and they're all alright but we'd better get them outta here before someone freaks out," I said.

"Oh, I hate to wake them besides they look so adorable like that. I wonder what it would be like if you were mixed into it," Cadence said before I gave her an annoyed growl while I shot her a look.

I then noticed Luna was looking at Nightmare with an irked look as Nightmare held both Pip and Midnight in her arms gently. I then used my magic to move the foals from Nightmare's arms and allowed Luna to grab them. I then saw Nightmare reach out for the missing foals, so I handed her a pillow and watched her hug it gently while the others removed the remaining foals. Once that was done, I placed a blanket over Nightmare.

"Awww," Cadence and Eris cooed.

"Oi let's go before we really do something we'll regret," I said before I made a shooing motion with my hands.

We left the room and informed everyone that the foals are ok and if it weren't for Eris admitting her fault Celestia would have had torn the crystal heart out of me and probably taken Nightmare's head also. Now I was waiting for the mane 6 to show up outside the kingdom grounds and when they finally arrived I saw they were all wearing training clothing. The expression on their faces told me that they were hungry to learn.

"You all seem to be ready to go," I said.

"Ya damn right we are," Rainbow said.

"Yeah, hit us with everything you got!" Applejack said.

"Alright then," I said before I made a door and led the group through it. When we all stepped out we were surrounded by trees.

"So where are we?" Pinkie asked.

"To you, it's a forest and it will be your training grounds for the next month," I said.

"Next month?" Rarity asked.

"So what do we do first?" Twilight asked.

"Survive," I said as I tossed her a dagger.

"Wha?" the mane 6 asked in sync.

"You six are to remain and survive in this forest for the next month. No camping equipment, no supervision and no wings," I said as I snapped my fingers causing Rainbow's, Fluttershy's and Twilight's wings to disappear, causing them to shriek in shock. "And also no magic," I said as I snapped my fingers causing Rarity's and Twilight's horns to disappear.

"What's the big idea?!" Rainbow shouted as she lunged at me. But I just turned myself into smoke and she went right through me before I flew over to a rock and sat on it while I re-materialized myself.

"You can't expect me to make this too easy on you lot. All of you are going to need to use your instincts if you want to survive," I said.

"But what's this have to do with combat or magic?" Rainbow asked.

"This is introductory training. If you do well you progress into the main training and if you don't die...that's a bonus," I said with a shrug.

"Wait half an apple picking minute!" Applejack shouted.

"Oh one more thing...'One is all and all is one' you have till now and then to figure out what that means otherwise I have nothing to teach you. See ya in a month," I said before I made a door and left.

One Week and Three Days Later

---

I was sitting in a comfortable chair in the castle's massive library reading a book. Once I returned to the kingdom I informed the others on what was happening to the mane 6 and told them everything that was said in our conversation.

"You Did What!" Shining yelled in my ear.

"As I explained like the last one hundred times I've told you, I put them in the middle of a forest and left them to survive. Now if you don't mind keep your voice down. We're in a library and your screaming is bothering me," I said never taking my eyes off the book

"How can you say that so casually?!" Shining yelled.

"Relax would you, they aren't going to die," I said.

"Don't say that like you know my sister!" Shining yelled as he knocked the book from my hand.

However, before the book could get too far away from me, I grabbed the book and slammed the spine of the book into Shining's face right over his eyes, knocking him out. I then opened the book and continued reading.

"Don't you think you went too far?" Celestia asked as she and the other princesses spectated the entire scene.

"Maybe, but I can't exactly think unless there is quiet," I said.

"I'm confused Bones. How is leaving the element bearers in a forest considered training?" Luna asked.

"This is to help them understand the way of life and to get a better understanding on the flow of the world. While they are out there they may have to do things that they may regret horribly in life. Example, to take an innocent creature's life but that's all part of the training," I said.

"How is this considered training?" Celestia snapped.

"Celestia, the forest they are in is filled with all kinds of beasts that will consider them a snack. If they don't stick up for themselves and show the beasts that they are not for eating then they will die. So the best way for them to survive is to kill before they are killed. Now depending on what happens in that forest if they do take a life then it means that they've made it past the hard part. If not then there is nothing for me to teach them," I said as I looked at the others.

"Nothing to teach them if they don't take a life. What kind of training is that? These are the bearers of harmony we're talking about. Taking any life is forbidden for them," Celestia said.

"They said they were willing to do anything to protect the ones they care about Celestia. So they must back these words up with actions otherwise there's nothing I can do. If I train them in combat and they go into battle then they hesitate to kill, they will die. I'd rather not send others into fights just to die in the end Celestia. So tell me, would you do the same?" I asked with a scowl on my face.

"So, in a way, what you’re doing is make them do the hard part without a large risk of being killed," Cadence said.

"I wouldn't say that...You see they still need to be mindful of the beast's that live in the forest," I said.

"But how will you know that they've taken a life?" Chrysalis asked.

"The dagger I gave them has an enchantment on it. The blade tells me what's been killed and who was wielding the blade at the time," I said.

"You seem to have this all covered but what does this have to do with alchemy and' one is all and all is one'?" Luna asked.

"Well the two things are actually related but with 'one is all and all is one', that will depend on the answer they give me," I said causing everyone to stare at me silently. "You know there is another reason why I'm even considering training them."

"Then what is it?" Dream Catcher asked.

"You know how those girls have been trying to befriend me?" I asked causing them to nod. "This training will shatter that bond and also prevent them from trying to befriend me."

"What but why would you do that?" Celestia asked in surprise.

"This is why," I said as I tapped the area where the Crystal Heart was being held. "Sooner or later I will need to give this thing up and when I do...Well y'know what will happen. I'm doing this not because I hate them but because I want to spare them the heartache of losing another friend. If I do become their friend then it will be harder for me to give up the heart," I said to the stunned alicorns.

"You'd do that?" Celestia asked causing me to nod.

"Now was there anything else?" I asked and after a minute they left but Celestia stopped to look at me.

"Y'know you could have made the training a bit easier," Celestia said.

"Oh please Celestia. What they are going through most alchemists would consider this soft training. Most are tossed into frozen wastelands during the winter and survive for a month. Those six have got it easy so long as they use their heads, which if the stories are true about them, then they will be fine," I said with a laugh.

---

One Week and Four Days Later

---

I stepped through the door I made and appeared in the forest I left the girls in. When I looked around I saw a camp that had tents made of massive leaves and twigs and an old fire pit. Also in the camp was the mane 6; their clothes torn in several areas and Rainbow had a leaf wrapped around her left thigh, and each one of them had a scowl aimed at me.

"Today's the day you lot but first do you still have that dagger with you?" I asked before Applejack tossed the dagger at me and it automatically informed me that they've all taken a life with it. "Secondly, your wings and horns," I said before I snapped my fingers and returned the missing appendages.

"Yes! Look out sky, Rainbow Dash is back," Rainbow said lifting herself into the air and did a few loops.

"Alright then and finally the answer for one is all and all is one," I said

The girls then looked at each other and nodded before Twilight opened her mouth to speak.

"One is me and all is everything around me," Twilight said.

I stared at the girls in silence, my face stoic, as I watched the girls for any hesitation and when I saw none I grew a smirk on my face.

"Alright then now the real training begins but first I'll let you all get cleaned up and rest," I said.

I led the girls through the door and let them go on their way before I went my way. I informed everyone that the mares were back before I settled down in the gardens to read a book and as I did I wondered what the future would bring for me and those mares. I read well into the afternoon before I walked back inside and as I walked I was about to walk past a hallway when suddenly I heard somebody mention me. When I went to have a peek I saw it was the mane 6 and Celestia.

"It was horrible Princess. Bones just tossed us out into the forest with no survival equipment and barely any instructions. it was a miracle we survived!" Rarity yelled.

"That bastard left us out there to die. Didn't even seem to care none either," Applejack said.

"Yeah and what was the point of that anyway because personally I think he's screwing with us," Rainbow said.

"And I don't even want to mention what we had to do out there," Twilight said.

"I don't normally say this and I really don't want to even think it but...," Fluttershy said.

"We Hate Him," the mares said in unison.

Their voices echoed down the hallway for a bit and we all just sat in silence till Celestia started laughing.

"Ok I know a lot about laughs and how to make ponies laugh but I'm confused here," Pinkie said.

"This isn't supposed to be a laughing matter! Uh...Celestia," Twilight shouted before her voice quieted.

"Forgive me girls but it appears the training actually went better than I thought," Celestia said.

"Huh?" the mares asked in complete and total confusion.

"There were actually two purposes as to why you all went through what you did. One, Bones was testing you to see if you could back up your words about protecting everyone, even if you have to take a life and also it was to prevent you from creating a bond with him," Celestia said.

"Huh?!" Everyone said louder.

"You are all aware of the crystal heart being inside of our wraith here also the fact of what happens if it's taken from him correct?" Celestia asked.

"Yes but what does this have to do with anything?" Rainbow asked.

"Bones knows that, sooner or later, the heart must be returned to the empire and when that happens he will perish. This is his way of sparing you all any heart ache when that happens," Celestia said.

"WHAT!" the mares shouted.

"But...That's," Twilight started.

"All this time he was doing this so that we didn't feel sorry for him in the end," Applejack said.

"That is...The stupidest thing I have ever heard. He's just going to roll over and accept this? I outta clock him in the face for this!" Rainbow shouted.

"But Celestia isn't there another way?" Twilight asked.

I remember asking Bones the same thing and his answer was 'why should it matter this way I'll be out of your mane'," Celestia said.

"He's really doing this, he's not going to figure out how to stop it?" Fluttershy asked.

"No," Celestia said.

"So what happens now?" Rarity asked.

"I guess we go about our day like normal," Twilight suggested before the group walked away and I went mine.

---

Next Day

---

I was in a training area, which was nothing more than a large circle that had a spectacular view of the horizon. I was in this circle, my eyes partly focused on the pages on a book and partly the mane 6 who were trying to attack me. I was simply stepping, pushing, dodging and blocking all of the mares attacks away from me as if they were children fighting me. All the while I was lecturing Twilight on alchemy.

"The basis of transmutation is the power of the circle which denotes the circulation of power. In order to call upon and harness this power, one must draw a structural matrix over the circle," I said as dodged an attack from Pinkie causing her to hit Rarity, knocking her onto her back.

I then saw Applejack run then leap at me to kick my face but I tossed the book into the air and placed both my hands beside Applejack's legs and spun her around, sending her into a barrel roll and land on her back before I caught the book.

"This is also the circulation of power...It's best if you experience it first hand to get a better understanding," I said as I made a come at me gesture at Twilight but she seemed to be looking at me nervously.

Twilight then sucked up some courage before she ran at me. She then went to deliver a punch at me but I dodged her punch, grabbed one of her legs and sent her rolling out of the arena. I gave a sigh before I felt a presence behind me and used the spine of the book to lightly hit something.

"OW!"

I then looked at what I had hit and saw Rainbow was trying to sneak up on me to attack. But now she was rubbing the top of her head fiercely.

"What the hell was that?!" Rainbow asked.

"Stop screaming you wuss, I just tapped you," I said.

"That wasn't a tap, felt like you dropped a brick on my head," Rainbow said.

"Actually that tactfully looked like a tap," Fluttershy said who was lying on her stomach causing Rainbow to growl at her.

"Yep that was a tap," said a recovering Applejack.

"That's enough for now keep reviewing the lesson till lunch Twilight. As for the rest of you keep sparing till lunch, especially you Fluttershy," I said as I began to walk away. Twilight pulled out a piece of parchment and a quill and began to write everything down.

"Wait a moment Bones. Now, I'm no expert in magic but when I saw you use alchemy you just clapped your hands together," Rarity said causing me to stop and look at Rarity while Twilight did the same. "You don't need a transmutation circle?"

I looked away from the others and brushed my hand over the mark over my right eye before I shook my head and removed my hand.

"If you think about it in a certain way I myself am the matrix and my arms are the circle of power," I said.

"How do you do it Bones or is it something that can only be used by wraiths?" Twilight asked.

"Perhaps it's something you'll learn if you see the truth," I said before I continued to walk away.

As I walked down the hallway, memories flowed through my head. I stopped by my room and put the book away when I heard hoofsteps running past the room.

"C'mon mom Scootaloo and Rumble are gonna do some sweet tricks at the new skate park," Pip's voice said outside the door.

"Alright Pip settle down it's not going anywhere," Luna voice said beyond the door.

As the hoofsteps became softer I stepped out of the room and saw Nightmare walking down the hall seemingly following the footsteps.

"Oh hey Nightmare where you off too?" I asked.

"Uh...nowhere but where are you going?" Nightmare asked.

"I heard there's a skate park thought I'd might check it out wanna come since you're not going anywhere," I said.

"I...I don't mind. In fact I needed to get some air myself," Nightmare said.

The two of us then set off down the hallway following Luna and Pipsqueak till we made it to the park which was in the harbor district and beside the beach. I saw many ramps and places to grind, even pool basins.It seemed everyone here was having a good time and there was a decent number too. I then saw Luna and Rumble were talking while the foals were having fun.

"Well here are a pair of faces I didn't expect to see."

I turned around and saw Rage was here wearing a white singlet and a pair of jeans. He also had a skateboard in his hand.

"Oh hey Rage yeah we were bored and heard about this place. So we decided to have a look," I said.

"Hey it's no trouble Bones you two are welcome here," Rage said.

"Thank you Bones I wish the same could be said for everywhere else," Nightmare said.

"Hm hey since you both are here wanna have a go?" Bones asked.

"Me, do that. I'd rather not," Nightmare said.

"Suit yourself how about it Bones?" Rage said as he tossed me his board.

As soon as the board landed in my grasp I felt a familiar sensation. So I stood up and examined the board.

"Alright I suppose I can give it a shot," I said.

"Alright then," Rage said as he led me to the park.

Once we were inside I decided to get a song ready to listen to. Once we made to the top of the ramp and when I was ready, I pressed play.

I then kicked off the ground and fell into the pool basin. I began to skate around it with surprising ease, almost as if I knew how to do this. I then decided to show off and do some awesome tricks like mid-air 360's and ledge grabs even a few grinds along the surface of the basin. Soon the park was cleared so everyone could spectate me. All the while I couldn't keep the smile off my face and when the song ended I got off the board and stomped on the end, launching the board upward and into my waiting hand while everyone clapped.

"Damn Bones how'd you do that?" Rage asked as he walked up to me.

"I...I don't know. it's like I already knew how to do that," I said.

"Hm maybe you enjoyed skateboarding before...well you know. But anyway that was totally cool none the less," Rage said as he patted me on the back.

"Heh you know I think I found something I can do if I ever get board at the castle," I said.

Suddenly I hear shouting. I look to see both Nightmare and Luna are yelling at each other and the foals are standing off to the side, looking at the two alicorns with a worried expression.

"Hey what's going on?" I asked as I walked over to the foals.

"I think mom doesn't like me hanging around you and Nightmare Moon. I know you both aren't evil at all so why does everyone have to treat you so badly," Pip said sadly.

"*sigh* Pip you are young but you need to know many will judge others on who they are and what they look like. Hell even what they did in the past when something goes wrong others find it easier to blame those who seem bad," I said.

"That's not the way I was taught," Pip said.

"I know that Pip and I hope that part of you never changes," I said before I looked at the two quarrelling alicorns.

I then decided to step in and stop them. As I got closer their conversation became clearer.

"I've told you before Nightmare to stay away from my sons. They are all that I have left and I will not have you hanging around them!" Luna yelled.

"If that's the case then you should be telling them to stay away from me. I was merely sitting here when Pipsqueak walked over to me!" Nightmare yelled.

"I don't care, if he does approach then you leave!" Luna yelled.

I then created a door beside the two and opened it before I pushed them inside. I then walked in and made the door vanish. When I walked out we appeared in one of the castle's hallways.

"What do you think you’re doing?!" the two alicorns yelled at me.

"Trying to stop you two idiots from acting like a pair of spoiled foals," I said.

"Silence creature you have no right to intervene in this!" Luna shouted.

"I agree he has no right to intervene but you will not refer to Bones as a creature, stupid child!" Nightmare yelled.

"Why you-," Luna started but I didn't allow them to finish because I slapped them upside their heads.

"Knock it off. The pair of you don't like each other, fine. But can you at least try and get along till no one is around?" I asked.

"Me, get along with her?" the two asked in sync.

"Yes Ash was able to do it with Rage so it can't be more complicated than that," I said causing the two to stare at me in surprise.

"That...that was different," Luna said.

"The hell it was!" I shouted causing the two to back away from me in shock. "If you actually try to talk to each other you may actually get somewhere. You don't have to agree on everything but just enough to not be in each other's faces while yelling at each other. An example would be that you both care about Pip and Midnight Star."

The two mares then looked at each other before they looked away while I walked away from them.

Third Person P.O.V.

---

Luna and Nightmare watched Bones walk away and when they looked at each other they struggled to begin a conversation.

"Is it true that you care about Pip and Midnight?" Luna asked.

"Well...Yes. Ever since I found out they were yours, I felt the urge to protect them just like I would if they were my own. Before you were rescued I took the liberty of watching over your sons, also listening to their problems and easing them," Nightmare said.

"I see...well thank you for being there for him," Luna said.

"I've also taken a bit of an interest to...gaming," Nightmare said.

"Sorry," Luna asked.

"*sigh* I enjoy video games," Nightmare said before she stood there expecting Luna to laugh at her and after some silence Luna spoke.

"What kind?" Luna asked.

"Huh?" Nightmare asked.

"What kind of games do you enjoy?" Luna asked.

"You're not going to laugh at me?" Nightmare asked.

"What, no because I enjoy video games as well," Luna said.

"Really?" Nightmare asked.

"Yes, I have a vast collection of them in my room...Would you be interested in joining me in a few rounds of Doom?" Luna asked.

"Doom?" Nightmare asked.

"I think you'll enjoy it," Luna said before she led Nightmare to her room.

---

Bones P.O.V.

---

I was done training the mares for the day and I had just left my room after getting a fresh set of clothes on me. I was on my way to the dining room because everyone was there having dinner but on my way there I ran into a laughing and giggling Luna and Nightmare Moon.

"Hello you two off to the dining room?" I asked.

"Actually we were heading for a zebra tribe just outside the kingdom for a banquet that Zecora invited us too," Luna said

"Just outside, why not live in the houses provided?" I asked.

This place is sacred to them and they do not wish to step inside unless they are asked to despite my invitations to them," Luna said.

"I see. I don't suppose there's any harm in me coming along, I'd be bored crazy here," I said.

"What are you talking about you are also invited," Nightmare said.

"She's right now come along we must gather Pip and Midnight so we can go," Luna said.

The three of us then went and collected the foals who were brought back by Rage. After explaining that Pip could hang out with us we all then left and made it to a small settlement of huts, walls made of mud and roofs made of straw. As we walked the foals ran off to play while Zecora came over and greeted us at the entrance.

"Princess Luna so good to see, welcome to my home that is temporary. I see you brought Nightmare that seems no longer sour and The Hand of The Reaper. It appears both are sweeter," Zecora said.

"It is good to see you also Zecora and yes it appears I was wrong in so many ways about my counterpart. If it wasn't for Bones here I wouldn't have seen that," Luna said.

"Ah it is a pleasure to see peace among former enemies. Now sit and enjoy for tonight we express great joy," Zecora said as she walked away.

We walked into the village and saw many zebra's about. In the centre of the village was a shrine dedicated to Ash. I then saw the mane 6, the princesses, Gilda, Spike, Comet, Mac, Thunderlane and Soarin were here also. Soon a song of welcome rang out amongst the zebra in their native tongue. Suddenly a zebra filly, who wasn't watching where she was going, ran into Nightmare's leg causing Nightmare to look down at her and for her to look up. Once they made eye contact the filly tilted her head to the side and Nightmare did the same.

"Jy lyk pragtig," the filly said.

"Huh?" Nightmare asked.

"She said you look beautiful," I explained.

"Oh thank you little one," Nightmare said.

"Toe sê sy: dankie," I said to the filly causing her to smile and run off.

"You speak Zebafrican Bones?" Luna asked.

"Sure do," I said as I walked past the two and joined the others.

"Well this is a surprise. I didn't expect to see you here," Chrysalis said.

"For your information Nightmare and I were invited to come and it would be a terrible shame to waste such a thing," I said.

"Well either way I'm glad you came. That way I can humiliate everyone by telling them I knocked you on your ass today," Rainbow said.

"Really?" Celestia asked.

"Correction you used a cheap playground trick with Pinkie so that doesn't count," I said.

"Does it matter still knocked you down," Rainbow said.

"Whatever not like it'll do you any good," I said.

Soon after the feast began. The small village, along with the rest of us, sat around a bonfire while I watched everyone have a nice time.

"I ain't gonna drink anything without anyone telling me what the hay it is," Soarin said.

"(I believe Soarin is scared of cider)" Zecora said in her native tongue causing everyone who understood to laugh even I let out a small chuckle.

"That's funny to everyone huh mm hm," Soarin said as he downed the drink but started coughing and started pounding on his chest while laughing causing everyone to laugh including me.

Suddenly Zecora began to sing something in her native tongue and the rest of the village joined in. I listened to the song, I didn't try to understand it, I just listened.

"They're singing the legend of Ash Blade. The story of how a slave rose to the title of king," Luna said.

"He was a slave?" Nightmare asked.

"Yes and no matter what he went through he maintained his gentle spirit. He wasn't bitter or cruel unless something provoked him like when me and my sons were kidnapped," Luna said causing me to turn to watch the flickering flames of the bonfire but I still listened to their conversation.

"What happened?" Nightmare asked Luna was silent for a full minute before she opened her mouth to speak.

"Midnight had just been born when we were taken. Ash never stopped looking for us even tortured members of the group to give up our location. When he found us, he was captured and tortured until the rest of my family showed up. After they rescued me Ash became the kidnappers executioner and it was truly a sight to fear. I will admit the kidnappers had it coming to them and deserved what they got but it was still frightening," Luna said.

"This group...Who were they?" Nightmare asked.

"They were a cult dedicated to making Celestia Queen of the entire world. They worshiped her and despised me and my sons along with Ash. They feared that I would become you again and saw the only way to stop that was to kill me. This cult was known as the Radiant Dawn," Luna said.

"I heard that name before. Celesta said she hoped to avoid another Radiant Dawn incident when she saw some ponies preying to a statue of your late husband," Nightmare said.

"It was mostly so Ash didn't go berserk like that again," Luna said.

"He was that terrorizing?" Nightmare asked.

"There's a bit of a saying Discord came up with for him Nightmare. If you were Ash's superior he would obey you if you were his friend he would die for you but if you were his enemy then Gods help you," Luna said.

"I'll keep that in mind," Nightmare said.

I then stood up and walked away while no one was watching. Once I was out of the settlement I made a door and walked through it to my room. I then went to get ready to sleep and when I did, I closed my eyes and surrendered to my slumber.
