Load Full Story Next Chapter

For five hundred years I have wandered the world's learning all I could from those who would teach me. Now I stood on the edge of the town that had shunned me for protecting it, however this was not the same town and if you asked the people living here about they wouldn’t know what you were talking about. That is because this is a new reflection, a new world a new chance. I took a deep breath as I began to walk to the town.

When I got to the town I did my best to avoid Pinkie Pie as I knew she would try to throw me a party and I needed to stay hidden. As I walked through the streets I passed Lyra and Bonbon’s place I looked away in regret, Next thing I saw was the tree house that Twilight is staying at. I thought of Elzin I quickly left the area and went towards the one I came for. As I was walking I passed Sugarcube corner there was a party going on I would normally try to avoid it if it wasn't for the white haired woman with the purple tips walking out of the place infuriated. “I’m guessing that's Gilda.” I said to myself as I followed her to the edge of the everfree forest.

“Stupid Rainbow dash and her stupid friends.” Gilda said as she punched a tree I stayed hidden to see what she would do and to my surprise she started crying. “You were supposed to be my friend.” she said through the tears. That is when I made my presence known.

“Warden Gilda?” I asked as she turned around to see me.

“What?” she asked as I offered her something for her tears. “Who are you?”

“Somebody that wants your aid.” I said helping her up

“What do you need the aid of a washed out knight for?” She asked as she wiped her tears away.

“Well I want to offer you something.” I said pulling out Sleeping Lion.

“Nice sword.” she said sarcastically.

“Let me show you its power.” I said as I pointed at the tree and disappeared in a flash before appearing next to the tree as it was cut at an angle. “That is only a small fragment of the Keyblade's power and what I offer is training.”

“And what do you get in exchange?” she asked

“Clever, Anyway I want a way into the Wardens I have a plan for them.” I said.

“Well you're going to need to find another way in because I was exiled it's why I came to this town anyway.” she said.

“Was there an official ceremony?” I asked knowing the answer.

“No?” she said confused.

“Then officially you're still part of the order and you can help me.” I said.

“You never told me what you want from me personally?” she asked.

“Simple all i want from you is for you to pledge your loyalty to me.” I said.

“Alright why would I do that?” she asked.

“Because I can give you the power to fix the wardens of their corruption and save your nation from collapse?” I said as she smiled.

“Alright then.” she said getting on one knee.

I handed her Sleeping Lion and said “Rise Gilda you are now part of my inner circle.” i said as she got up “Come we have another to find before we leave town.” I said

“Before we go who are you anyway?” Gilda asked.

“Call me Huxley” I said as we walked into the Everfree forest.


As we approached the hut of Zecora Gilda asked me a question “why do we need this Zebrican?”

“Simple Gilda she is an expert potion maker and healer.” I said.

“How do you know this?” She asked.

“I have friends in high places.” I responded as I knocked on Zecora’s door.

“Welcome to my humble abode, why not take off your load?” Zecora answer and stopped when she saw who was on the other side. A very strange sight.

“Hello miss Zecora, you are Zecora right?” I asked.

“That’s is correct as you can see, what do you want with me?” Zecora said.

“I have a friend that told me that you require a very rare herb and I need you to join me in exchange for said herb.” I said holding out the crystal rose.

“How did you get something so rare, Reveal yourself lay everything bare” Zecora scowled.

“Before I give it to you I need your help for a little project I have in mind.” I said as she tried to grab it. “It's not that simple I need your word that you will stay loyal to me.”

“Trust him lady he may be your only hope.” Gilda said.

“Fine I suppose I do need that rose, I suppose we shall become close.” Zecora mumbled.

“Very well here is your rose, may we come in?” I asked handing her the rose.

“Enter then and watch your head, there are instructions that must be read.” Zecora stepped away inside.

We entered her home where she quickly got to work on a potion.”You have a nice home.” I said trying to make small talk. She ignored me as she kept working on the potion and a few minutes later she took a sip of it.

“Did it work?” she asked grabbing her throat smiling “Thank you i thought i would be cursed forever to rhyme.” she said hugging me before I coughed and she let go “oh sorry” she blushed.

“I am glad I could be of some help now before all of us go I need to give you a little bonus.” I said.

“What?” she asked “A bonus and what do you mean we leave this is my home I just can’t abandon it.” she said

“You agreed to the it so I need you to come with me. As for that little bonus you need to knee for me to give it to you.” I said as she looked at me and Gilda.

“Don’t worry nothing bad will happen to you.” Gilda said as she reluctantly dropped to her knee I pulled out Circle of Life and handed it to her.

“Rise Zecora you are now part of my inner circle.” I said as Zecora got up.

“What now?” she asked

“Now you pack and we leave this town for training we have a third to find but she will take time.” I said

“Just as I was getting to like this place too.” Zecora said.


Three months have passed since I got Gilda and Zecora and in the time since then I have been training them to use the Keyblade. “Strike harder.” I said as I dodged a sneak attack from Zecora “Nice try.” is said as I knocked the both down. “That is it for today’s training I have to go somewhere now.”

“Ugg is it that Trixie girls show you know she gets booed off the stage every time right?” Gilda said

“I know but tonight I have something to offer her, she suffered enough.” I said as I walked towards the tent.

“Remind me again why we have to stay in the desert?” Zecora asked “I mean i stayed in the Everfree for a year but there was atleast a town nearby.”

“That denied you service because you were Zebrican.” Gilda reminded.

“Alright I’m off if this is successful we head for Manehattan.” I said

“And if you're not?” Zecora asked

“Canterlot.” I replied as they both looked at each other confused.


As I stepped out of my DTD I quickly headed to where Trixie was performing and entered the crowd as the show was about to start. “Ladies and gentlemen prepare to be amazed by-” Trixie started as a heckler cut in.

“By a talentless hack.” the heckler shouted as the crowd started booing.

“Why they even come if they're just going to boo her before she could do anything?” I asked myself as I quickly got closer to the stage.

“Hey wait-” Trixie started as they started throwing tomatoes at her. I jumped on the stage and cast a reflect spell stopping the tomatoes. “What?” She asked.

“Need a hand?” I asked as she nodded before she ran to the back of her carriage. “Alright folks show’s over you can ether leave peacefully of fight me and you don’t want the second option” I said pulling out one of my keyblades. As the crowd dispersed I followed Trixie into the back of her carriage.

“Why did you save me I could have taken it.” she said.

“Yes but how many more bad show could you really take to survive?” I asked

“I’ve seen you in the crowds of my shows you a fan?”

“More like somebody who see potential in you. I want to offer you something.”

“Is it Bits i’m a little short on that.”

“No its power I can offer you a tool that Twilight Sparkle could never get.”

“What is it?”

I pulled out Spellbinder “This.”

“What is it?”

“A keyblade it's called spellbinder and it will help with your magic”

“Like i need help with magic it's my talent after all”

“Yes but it will make you stronger than Twilight it could help you get revenge.” I said as she paused.

“Revenge?”

“Yes but this comes at a cost you must serve under me and only go after her when i say so.”

“Alright... I accept your bargain what do I do...Master?”

“You come with me.”
