After I met up with Gascoigne, who goes by Discord now, we walked into Fairgate and talked.

“So you been a statue this whole time. What happened?” Discord asked me as we passed a group that was trying to clean up a pile of dead plunder vines.

“Don't remember it been a long time since that I forgot what happened, I remember me and you, Star, and the king sending three sirens to how knows where ” I told him. Discord frowned at this.

“Just to let you know that was… almost fifty thousand years ago.” He explained. I walked in silence for a bit until I spoke.

“By the old ones I'm old.” was all I said before chuckling. Discord rolled his eyes at me.

“You laugh at the fact that you're older than everyone around you, I believe you’re insane Jace.” Discord commented. I kicked a rock and watched it go off into a bush.

“Being insane is more fun Discord,” I said to him, then a thought came to mind. “Oh Lord, everyone is dead I forgot about them.”

“You mean your old pals that were around before? I don't know about that last time I went to the valley but the pathway was sealed up and with everything me, Tia, and Lu we couldn't break it,” he said to me. I nodded as I plan on heading there as I saw Discord tilted his head a bit. “By the way, does those two know your up and about?”

I stopped and looked at him and to the forest as he did the same.

“No, but they will know in… 3...2...1..."

“WHAT!!!!” A loud yell came from the forest that shook the ground. I heard some glass breaking and yelling from around me as I shook my head.

“Well this is going to be interested, how long before they going to take before getting here?” I asked as I get ready for it.

“By the way of that yell, I believe thirty seconds, a minute tops.” Discord said as he moves out of the way. I looked over at him as he is now wearing an army uniform and saluting to me. I shook my head as I saw two blurs coming towards me, a white one and dark blue one, and then I got hit by them with the force of a freight train. I got launched backward into a building as I felt two beings hug me to death.

“You're alive! You're really are alive!” Luna said as she started crying. Celestia didn't say anything other then hug me tighter, I felt my lungs losing air.

“Nice… to see.... you two too but… I do need some...air!" I try to say. They let go of me as I gasped for air. After taking some deep breaths I looked at the two of them, Luna was wearing a dark blue dress with the moon on her left shoulder while Tia was wearing the same kind of dress it was white and with the sun on her right shoulder. I saw that she was crying. I wiped the tears away.

“Hey hey, no need for that,” I said to her. She shook her head.

“I thought you were gone again, we search for so long that I almost forgot what you looked like. After Luna was taken I thought that was it, but after she returned I prayed that you will too.” She said. I placed my hand on her shoulder and looked at her.

“Tia you should know by now that I will always come back and it would take a lot to stop me.” I stopped to think about it. “Well… other than your cooking."

Tia stared at me for a long minute before Lu started laughing which made Tia to repeatedly smack her.

“Will. You. Shut. Up! My cooking has gotten better over the years.” she said angrily. Luna laughter died down to giggling.

“Ya ya, your cooking has gotten better.” She said to her. As Tai looked back at me I saw Luna shaking her head and mouthing ‘Nooo’ to me. I rolled my eyes and looked over to see that Discord is walking off with a hardhat on.

“Well, how about we move this to someplace more comparable and a place with something to drink.”

Twilight

I walked quickly to Fairgate with my friends. We have restored the Tree of Harmony and brought the princesses back, that’s the plus side the downside is that Discord maybe has something to do with the plunder vines and the giant tree monster that attacked us… kinda. There was also the fact that we gave up the Elements of Harmony and now are stuck with some sort of box with six locks on it.

“Is anyone going to talk about how the princesses acted when we explained about that hunter guy? That was really weird.” Rainbow asked as she flew overhead.

“Maybe they know of him?” Fluttershy said.

“Well all I gotta say is that his outfit looks… dusty.” Rarity said as she almost tripped over a root from a tree. I had to admit I was wondering if they knew Hunter? They did yell with their Royle voices and bolted off that made Dash jealous.

“I don't know but we can ask them when we get back,” I said to them. It took us a few minutes but we finally got back to Ponyville and it looked… better than when we left. There were no plunder vines anywhere and I saw Discord sweeping with a broom, there was also ten other brooms around him doing the same thing. He also seemed more happy, he looked up and waved at us.

“Ahh and the stars of the show have returned, have a nice trip?” He asked us as he leans on the broom he was using. I glared at him.

“No we didn’t and it’s due to you planting the plunder vines!” I accused him. He simply rolled his eyes and started to float in the air on a pink cloud.

“Well yes I did, truth be told I didn’t know when they would sprout.” He said to me. I was going to yell at him some more but I stopped and stared at him.

“Wait… did you just a mite that you planted them?” I asked him. He nodded at me with a smile. I blinked at him and looked over to Applejack.

“He’s… telling the truth Twi, also don’t use me as a lie detector!” Aj said angrily. I looked back at Discord.

“Do you know where the Princesses are?” I asked him. Discord held his chin with his paw and thought about it.

“Well, there’s one standing right in front of me and another in the blasted north…”

“You know what I mean!” I yelled at him. He chuckled at me.

“Oh Twilight you need to relax, as for where old Sunny and Moony they are at your home drinking tea.” He said to me.

“Thanks,” I said as I started to walk away. My friends and I walked all the way to the Golden Oaks Library. As I reached the door it opened as Luna stepped out and saw us.

“Ahh Twilight and friends it’s good to see you all, would you all like some tea?” She asked us. I was taken back by the fact of how calm she is right know, with all that just happened.

“Umm, Princess Luna are you alright?” Rarity asked. Luna frowned at her.

“I’m perfectly fine, I don’t see why I wouldn’t be.”

“Well, there was the fact that you and Princess Celestia disappeared and the plunder vines and the craziness and…” Pinkie got interrupted by Dash covering her mouth. Luna rolled her eyes and let us in.

As I walked in the first thing I saw was Hunter sitting on the couch. I didn’t realize it before but he’s much taller than I thought he was, even on the couch he was about the same height as me standing. He had his hat and mask off as he drank some tea, he had dark blue hair and beard, he also had a scar over his left eye. I also saw Princess Celestia sitting beside him with her arms crossed and looking unhappy.

“I could have made the tea,” Celestia said as Hunter drink some of his tea.

“The last time you were in the kitchen you blew it up by making ice.” He told her. I saw her cheeks puff a bit and looked over at us.

“Oh, Twilight I didn’t know you returned, I hope we weren't intruding.” She said to me. I shook my head at her quickly.

“N-no Princess you don’t have to worry about that.” I stuttered. She giggled at me.

“Twilight you know that you don’t need to call me by my title, we’re equals now.” She told me. I blushed a bit. I looked at her and Hunter.

“Prin- I mean Celestia does you and Luna know of Hunter?” I asked her. I hear a chuckle from behind me.

“Hunter? So that’s the name you go by?” Luna said. Hunter shrugged at her.

“Hey when you’re a statue for so long your name means nothing really, but now that I’m out I should go by my real name.” He said. Celestia smiled and stood up.

“Twilight, Rainbow, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie I want to introduce you all to Jace Belaguard,” She looks over to him with a smile. “My older brother.”

Jace

As soon she said that Well all I gotta say is that I wish I had a camera since this was priceless, all of the mane six faces were funny. I covered my ears when I saw Luna did.

“WHAT!!” They all yelled. I chuckled a bit as I lowered my hands.

“Yeah, that never gets old,” I said. I saw Twilight look at me and then at Tia and back again.

“But… but you don’t look anything like each other, so how…” she started but stop when I looked at her with a hurt expression.

“Twilight how rude of you, I thought you would understand.” I started to rub my eyes as if I was wiping away tears. I saw glimpses of her looking around both confused and worried. This could have kept going but I got smacked in the arm by Tia.

“Stop that, you’ll make her go into a panic,” she said. I smiled and looked at the now confused looking Twilight.

“Okay, there’s really a reasonable reason for this.” I started to say.

“He’s adopted,” Luna said without missing a beat. I pointed at her and nodded.

“Yup pretty much,” I said. They looked at me with a little more at ease with that.

“So if you’re the brother of the Princesses… umm does that make you a… umm, a Prince?” Fluttershy asked. The three of us looked at her for a moment.

“No.” All three of us said.

“Wait what do ya mean no?” AJ asked. I looked at her and saw Tia was going to answer her.

“You see my dear stud-” she paused for a moment before continuing “ I mean friend , he might be our brother but he chooses not be a prince.” she explained.

“Also I had never liked the idea of being a prince, so there's that,” I told her. I looked over at everyone and finally getting to see them properly.

Twilight has sorta pale skin as there was a tan coming along and some of her hair behind one of her ears, her ears looked like half-elf ears. She wore what I can guess is a librarian outfit with a button up vest, white shirt and purple short skirt that showed her, now cut up legs.

Fluttershy wore a white tank top and jeans that hugged her… Ehem!... curves, really well. Her skin was fairly normal for a skyborne living on the ground, her hair is also tied into a ponytail that really show her face.

Applejack had her trademark hat on with her hair falling behind her. She wore a plaid shirt that was tied at her midriff with a brown jacket over it, she had jean shorts on and she had the farmer's tan.

Pinkie had normal skin and very poofy hair, it kinda looks like cotton candy. She wore a pink t-shirt with the phrase 'Keep calm and party on!’ on it with yellow pants.

Rarity had fair skin with her hair styled fancy with a twig sticking out of it. She wore a dark blue and purple dress shirt with black pants. I saw her checking that her clothes were ok, still not seeing the twig.

Rainbow had a tan and her hair short, like cut short, she wore one of those runner suits with a pair of shorts over them. She was floating in the air on with cyan wings on her back.

Spike wore a purple jacket with a black shirt underneath with black pants. He had brawler's gloves one with holes for his fingers which are also clawed. He had spiky green hair and green draconic eyes as well. He also was holding a locked box.

“Oh hey! A box!” I said as I stood in front of him and taking the box and looked at it. I looked over at Tia showing her the box. “Do we have any paper clips?”

“I don't think you can open it with paper clips,” Tia said. I tilted my head a bit.

“Have you tried?” I asked her. She stared at me for a moment as if she tempted to try and opened the magic box with paper clips.

“Jace I really doubt you can open the box that was given to us by the tree of harmony, with paper clips.” Twilight said in a ‘matter-of-fact' tone. I eyed her for a bit, I tossed the box to her.

“Alright miss know it all, how are you going to open it then,” I asked her. She looked at the box and turned it in her hands.

“Well… umm, we have to… find the keys to it and …. Uhh open it?” She said. I tilted my head a bit as I looked at her.

“Was that a question or an answer?” I asked. The young Magi looked at me, trying to find an answer, as Celestia stepped in.

“Twilight I believe that checking if everyone in town is alright. Discord may have caused some problems but he’s not one to hurt and bring pain.” I snorted at the last part. She shot me a look as I smiled. “But it’s better safe than sorry just to check.”

“A-alright.” she said. She walked over to a table and left the box there as she and the rest of them went out. I looked at Tia and Lu as they stared at the box.

“Staring at it won’t do anything,” I told them. They looked at me for a moment.

“Well we never saw anything like it before, I wonder what’s in it?” Tia wondered. I rolled my eyes at her since I knew what’s in it since I watched the show, I decided not to tell them since that would be spoilers.

“Don’t you two have nobles to see that you’re not gone forever.” I said to them. They both slumped a bit and Lu groaned a bit.

“I hate dealing nobles, there so uptight and everything.” Luna turned and pointed at her sister. “You’re dealing with them.”

“What! Why me!” Celestia cried.

“Because you’re better at it than me, and mostly I don’t want to.” She said as she crossed her arms. “Besides, I’m really close to getting my warrior to level 110.”Tia stared at her with a deadpan expression.

“You’re going to dump dealing with the nobles just so you can go and place a video game!”

“Hey, you did the same thing to me just so you can go to a baking store for cake.” Lu replied.

“The store was having a two for one sale, how can I miss it!” Celestia retorted. I watched them bicker for a bit as they disappeared into a white and blue flash. I shook my head and headed upstairs to find an empty room.

I found one after opening some other doors that were for bedrooms, a bathroom, and closets, so many closets. I stepped into the room and saw that it was a guest bedroom. I sat down cross-legged and closed my eyes. After a moment I felt myself slip into the dream.

I opened my eyes and saw that I was in the Hunter's Dream. I stood up and looked around to see that it still looked the same after all this time.

I saw the workshop and headed towards it. As I walked towards it I saw all the tombstones the surround the place, all the hunters that I may or may not have met. I got to the doors and opened them and saw the interior of the place. It brings back memories of my training days what I basically called my home.

As I looked around I heard footsteps coming from behind me. I turned to see the doll standing there.

“You have returned good hunter.” She said with a smile. I nodded to her.

“It’s good to see you too doll.” I told her. I looked around the place and saw my Estus flask sitting on the table, wow I haven’t seen that for a long time. I grabbed it and saw that it was full, normally I need a bonfire to fill it but placing it in one of the fountains works as well.

“How was your slumber?” the doll asked. I shrugged as I placed the cane on the wall. I looked at all the weapons that I found or made over the years.

“I didn't really sleep but it was uneventful to say at least.” I said to her. I looked at her as a question came to mind. “How's the world doing?”

“Nothing out of the ordinary, there are still beasts out there and the old ones stir, something is coming but I can't say when.” the fool explained. I frowned at this, the old ones are stirring that’s not good.

“I see, well we will deal with it when it gets here, so anything new?” I asked her.

"Yes there is, follow good hunter.” she said as she walked towards a door. As she got there she opened it and looked at me. I walked over to see what's what.

I saw that it was a room filled with different objects, I saw a tiara with a lighting bolt on it, a blue-green stone and… is that a bobblehead from Fallout?

“Okay… what did you get into collation nic-nacks?” I asked her. For the first time in like ever, she giggled.

“Good hunter, the objects you see are called tokens, they are connected to others that are known as Displaced.” she explained. Ohh… they are tokens, right then that makes more sense.

"So why are you showing me this?” I asked her. She closed the door then turn to walk out of the place. I followed her to where she was going. We stopped in front of one of the fountains.

"Dear hunter, you are one of these Displaced, and for that, you need one of these tokens.” She told me. I thought about it for a moment, if I remembered Displaced are people that can summon others by their token.

I went to my bag and pulled out a small bell.

“Will this work?” I asked her. She nodded.

“Yes, now you need to put some of your magic into it and make a message for others to hear, be warned not all displaced are good in nature.” she told me. I looked at the bell and started to put my magic into it. I saw an aura of red and gray surround it as embers floated off it.

Now for a message. I thought about it and came up with something that will give me the choice to accept or decline.

“If you are in need of assistance, ring the bell four times and say your issue, if I deemed it worthy I will come.” I said. I felt the magic settled in the bell. I handed it to the doll and watched her dropping it into the fountain.

"It is done, now do you have any other business?” She asked. I thought about it and shook my head. "Then good hunting.”

I went back to the spot where I came from. I kneel down at the spot and went felt myself returning to the waking world.

The first thing I realized as I returned to the waking world is that there were two others in the room. I didn’t open my eyes as I listen to what’s surrounding me. I heard two sources of breathing, one closer to me than the other, and they were young.

“Do you think he’s sleeping?” the one closer to me said.

“Maybe, he has his eyes closed.” the other said. They were both girls and might be around the ages of ten to twelve. I heard footsteps coming closer to me as I felt someone breathing on me.

“What are you doing!” The one girl said.

“What do you think, seeing if he’s really sleeping.” The close girl said.

“Nyx you can tell that he’s sleeping, why do you want to know something that you can see.” I felt the girl, Nyx I guess, move her head as some of her hair brush my face, I almost sneezed.

“Because maybe he’s not really sleeping, maybe he’s faking it.” Nyx said.

“From what your mom said he fought a giant evil tree monster by himself, I would think that anyone who would try that would be tired.” the girl said. She… had a point. Anyone who would do what I did would be tired or well dead but I been doing this for two lifetimes so I’m used to it.

“Well if he’s sleeping then why is he sitting like that?” Nyx asked. Ok, she’s about three inches from my face and my personal bubble is screaming at me to push her out of it. I have to end this.

I opened my eyes to see two teal eyes behind a pair of glasses. I saw them stare at me for a second before going small. She screamed and jump away from me as I stood up to take a look at them.

Nyx had tan skin and purple hair that was tied in a ponytail. She wore a green t-shirt with a shooting star on it and jeans. The other girl had dark orange hair and yellow/ orange eyes that reminded me of fireflies. She wore a white shirt with a sun with the phrase Praise the Sun!’ and some camo shorts. She had a necklace that had a blue gem attached to it. She didn’t look as surprised.

“See what happens to when you do something like that, this happens.” She said towards Nyx. Nyx got up and glared at the other girl.

“Shut up, anyway, we now know that’s he’s awake.” She said. I just looked at her.

“You should also know that it’s rude to get close to someone without asking them.” I told her. She just shifted a bit on the spot.

“S-sorry mister, we were just curious.” Nyx explained.

“We?” the other girl asked. Nyx looked at her and shrugged.

“Well you did follow me.” she said. I saw them stare at one another for some time as I sat down on the bed.

“Alright let’s leave ‘who followed who’ or whatever it is behind, what’s your names?” I asked them.

“I’m Nyx Sparkle, nice to meet you!” Nyx said with a smile.

“Hello, I’m Stella.” The other girl said. I stared at her for a minute. Stella… why does that name sound familiar…

“Right, I’m Jace Belaguard it’s nice to meet you two.” I said to them. I looked out of the window and saw that I saw gone for about an hour, dang going into the dream takes longer than I thought. “Where’s is everyone?”

“My mom is checking up on Discord then heading off to Canterlot, she won’t be back until later,” Nyx said as she crossed her arms and frowned. “And she didn’t bring me along.”

Stella rolled her eyes at Nyx as I looked at them. I have two girls with me and no one is around…

“Anyone up for some sweets?” I said to them. Their face up with Christmas trees.

“YES!” They both said. I chuckled and all of us went to Sugarcube Corner for some sweets.
