The Rest of the day passed as Alexander Sat with the ponies, asking hundreds of questions about the world. He learned about the 4 types of ponies, their places in society, got some small magic lessons from Twilight, explored the town with Fluttershy and Pinkie, everything was going well. A lot had been learned about the world, and he was eager to learn even more. Specifically about a certain forest. The Everfree one to be exactly, gazing over he was intrigued by its mysteries.. he always loved forests, especially ones full of massive deadly beings. Thought the panicked ponies relaxed when he said he'd not explore until he figured out his magical info. Walking about he explored the entire town, met most everyone, and even figured out the jobs of the group of friends. (as well as their full names) Alexander smiles sitting down with a small stack of books.. reading more about magic of course.. as he thought of multiple experiments. Smiling as he lay down on the guest bed Twilight had lent him, he falls asleep.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
His dream was not natural.. nor what he expected at all.. He found himself on a cliff over looking castle ruins.. A forest surrounded him as he stood alone. Looking about for something.. thought he wasn't quite sure what exactly as he gazed about. Nodding to himself, he followed his curiosity as he hops off his ledge and made his way towards the castle ruins. Smiling almost ear to ear as he listens to all the animals and sounds about him. All the happy and relaxed animals.. as he walked past. It wasn't until he reached the castle that he noticed something felt wrong.. slowly stepping inside he follows the many halls.. sensing eyes or something above and around him. Closing his eyes, he frowns as he felt an aura... one he hadn't felt in a long time.. walking up a long path of stairs he found himself in a room Twilight had described. This room had once held the Elements of harmony.. but he saw another stair well. "That's.. not in any of the pictures.. Something is not right at all here.."

"Perceptive as always... aren't you?" The voice calls from above.. Alex frowns going up the steps as he faces his double. His daemon half sat on a floating bench.. in a fox like form.. Looking the picture of justice in his light blue fur and black inner fur. A literal inversion of Alexander's red and white. "Its been so long since we have talked.."

"Not long enough from what I can tell. Is this your idea of a game? I don't suppose your actually going to tell me what you want this time." Alexander replies sitting down.

"I want to talk. You have been ignoring me for a long time now, relax, you know I have no interest in the World of Life any more. In honesty.. I came to warn you." Daemon Alexander says hopping down. "I sensed a massive force of darkness surrounding those pals of yours. My precognition tells me this place is related."

"You just expect me to believe that? You where a pain in my azz for centuries. D. Forgive me if im not Immediately trusting. The last time you tried to help I ended up swinging upside down naked on a chandelier surrounded by Undead." Alex replies dryly.

"Oh like your upset over that. We are immortal, Immune to that whole thing. My goal was to avoid the explosion above.. a small group of undead is no matter. You forget I share your pain. Last thing I want to do is sit on my butt feeling YOU rebuild your sorry self from scratch." D-Alex snaps. "I have plots and plans to make and Sensing your pain does not help my mechanics."

"Oh well forgive me for interrupting YOUR evil scheming.. im not the one who got us linked. Jack wagon." Alex replies chuckling.
"Jack wagon?" D-Alex says blinking.
"Look its a censorship spell. Now leave he fourth wall alone already. Anyway on to more important things.."

"OH NOW he wants to listen..." D retorts dramatically.
"Just tell me why you called me here of all places." Alex sighs exasperated by his Evil double.
"Yeah yeah yeah.. hold your horses. nyehehe.. see what I did there?" D-Alex crows happily to the eye rolling Alex. "OH fine.. your no fun today.. anyway I sensed a dark force around your pals. Probably related to those cheesy Elements of Harmony things. Im guessing based on plot convenience that its related to whatever Slammed that Luna chick."
"Filly.. if your gonna be insulting use the right terms." Alex says smirking.
"Oh Bugger to you. I didn't take the 50 questions lesson on Equines.. Knowing our luck in everything its probably out for revenge and yadda yadda. Look just get ready to punch out Cthulhu again ok?" D-Alex finishes looking a bit annoyed.

"Man.. whats with you and Tropes today?" Alex asks as D shrugs. "Alright.. so do you think I should head over here then?"
"Honestly id start finding a way to practice your magic. You feel the air around... it has basically all the different forms of energy you have used previously for magic. Just make sure you don't Dragon slave the town alright?" D-smiles. "Oh and try to stop staring at equine rear ends.. Save the shipping saga for later ok? Focus on getting your hooves on the ground."

"Pff you act like I try to ravage every woman I get attracted to..." Alex says.. blinking as images flow into his mind. "OK OK I get the point. Just stop with that alright?"

"Really..no fun at all. Oh one last thing before I leave." D says standing up.
"Oh done so soon? alright.. What is it?"

"Pony about to fall off bed says what?"
"What? OH FU-"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Alex sighs as he picks himself off the floor.. the night time had become Day, and for once he felt surprisingly rested. Despite D.. or maybe because of D. Thinking back to what had been said he slowly stretches.. looking at the chapter on the book he had stopped on. Looking at the article on Nightmare Moon. "It would be so nice to have a dream like that and just have it be a dream." replacing the book mark he puts the book down as he smells random food predominantly the scent of Bacon got his attention most as he wanders towards the kitchen.
