For over ten thousand years he has been imprisoned to the stars. Endlessly traversing the dark voids of space. He has been training, watching, learning, anxiously growing stonger and eager. The taste of blood still lingers on his lips. Finally he felt the magical barrier shift suddenly growing lighter as it dissiapated releasing him from his interstellar tomb.

"Finally..." He said standing up from his hand crafted throne, stretching his long slender limbs, "I have traversed these dark voids of space long enough Celestia!" He shouted even though he knew no one would hear, yet he continued to shout, "I have been here for over ten thousand years! I have been sitting her planning and waiting!" He thrusted his arm outward "But now I shall return and take back my rightful place on the throne!" He clenched his fist and held it in the air as a large ear to ear smile spreaded across his lips. "And Equestria will be rightfully mine!" He flung his head back laughing maniacally. After a good minute his laughter came down to a low chuckle "Excellent."

He plummeted towards the Earth at immense speeds, wind rushing in his face he clutched his red hat to his chest. As his jet black hair flailed behind him in the wind. His large Crimson duster coat flapped in the wind. His wicked smile stretched across his face. This had to be one of the happiest days of his very long life, he broke through the cloud layer revealing a large lush green world. His wild smile grew even wider bearing all of his extremely sharp teeth, the ground seemed to be rushing towards him and at the last second he shot out his arms opening his jacket. The fabric catching the wind slowing his descent just a bit, but not enough. He flew into the Earth at jet like speeds, causing the ground around him to explode. Kicking up debry and dust causing a small mushroom cloud to form around him.

Coughing into his fist he stood up. Dusting off his red coat he placed his hat back on his head, he reached back up taking off his red aviators revealing his red eyes his pupils where mere slits like a dragons eyeball. After cleaning off his circle lense aviators he placed his glasses back over his eyes. Scratching his beard he observed his surrondings. he was in a forest... .Well an orchard to be exact. He was surronded by a small forest of apple trees, turning his attention over to one of the trees, he noticed a large red apple dangleing from a nearby tree. His stomach grumbled causing him to reach his hand over his stomach, remembering how long it has been since the last time he ate something. He approached the tree and plucked the apple.

Sinking his teeth into the delicious produce, his smile grew wider as the juices and flesh of the apple met his tongue. "Heh, I think I might just grab a few more of these before I-"

"What in tarnation do you think you're doing!?" A maiden with a thick accent roared. He turned and saw a young women standing next to a tall bulky man and both of them were weilding pitch forks. He stared down at the two standing before him, he was amazed on how much he has grown over the passed thousand years. He was at least taller then both of them by at least three feet.

"I was just getting a bite to eat, that is all." He said trying to brush past the two of them, but the young farm girl stepped in his path.

"So yer stealin from my family's farm?" She asked pointing the pitch fork right in his face.

"Not precisly, I was heading home and I've seemed to have lost my way. I realized I was hungry and I found this very here apple tree." He lied pointing at the tree.

"So what, now you're tresspassin on mah family's farm and stealin are food? I know a lier when I see one mister and I know you're one because this here farm has a fence surronding it. So you had to have snuck in here!" She poked him in the chest trying to seem intimidating. He took a step foward towards the girl pushing the tip of the pitch fork down with his index finger. "Stay back!" She growled lifting the pitch fork back up to his face.

He held up his left hand, "Whoa no need to get violent now." He said with a bit of annoyance in his voice. He opened the side of his jacket revealing a large sheafed cutless which was straped to his side,"We wouldn't wan't anyone to get hurt now, would we?" The young farm girl gulped and took a step back at the sight of his sword. "Now..." He hissed, "I'll just be on my way. Now could you please so kindly point me in the directoin of the nearest town?" He asked glaring at the two farmers causing them both to jump and fall back on their behinds. The farm girls brother shot his left arm up pointing in the distance where a small village could be seen on the horizon. Tilting his hat the tall man smiled, "Thank you my good sir." He turned and began walking casually towards the small village.

The farm girl stumbled to her feet, "W-wait!" she shouted.

"Huh?" The tall man continued walking but turned his head back.

"Who exactly are you?" She asked while helping her brother. The tall man smiled bearing his sharp dagger like teeth.

"I'm sorry that's a secret if I where to tell you, I would have to kill you," The farm girl's eyes grew wide. "Would you like to know my name?" he asked her quickly the girl shook her head. "Okay then."

After he left the farm girl turned her attention back to her brother, "Mackie?"

"Huh?"

"What just happend?"

"I dunno AJ."

He casually strolled through the Ponyville Market Place in town square. Magi, Pegasi, and other Humans stared at him bewilderd, but others mostly just carried on with their own business. But the people that did stare at him where mostly wide eyed or just some reason flat out scared. It's as if where ever he wen't or who ever he happend to pass it's like he leaked intimadation and people where just scared of him. It's not like he hated it or anything, honestly he loved it! He loved knowing the fact that he was feared, it just filled him up with joy just thinking about how many people were terrified of him. But mostly that wasn't it yeah a few people where scared of him. But most of them stared because of his inhuman height, must humans where maybe about five to six feet tall. Yeah there was a few people who where a little taller maybe close to seven feet like big Macintosh. But this guy was like nine feet tall, there is only two beings in this world who are only about nine close to ten feet tall and that is Celestia and Luna. Like seriously this guy stood out like a sore thumb. His bright clean blood red clothing shined in the sunlight his nice glasses reflected the light, the way he walked compared to everyone else. He looked like some rich guy from Canterlot or somthing, but despite all the terrified and looks of awe he got he just kept on walking not even making eye contact.

"Pssh! Hey old man!" A voice caught him off gaurd. "You in the red clothing!" The voice came again but this time more demanding. He frowned and tilted his head over in the direction of the voice, to his right was an alley way and in this alley way stood a young man. Maybe in his late teens or earlie twenties, he was dressed in some old trousers and a ragged shirt. His face was covered in muck and his hair looked as if he hasn't showered in years. The tall man smiled and approached him,

"Why hello there my dear boy." He said stopping in front of him. The young man glared up at him amazed by his height but after shaking his head he asked,

"Hey Gramps are you magi? Because we really need a magis help right now!" The tall man frowned, Gramps? That wasn't such a nice nick name. Shaking the thought from his head he shrugged,

"You could say so." He said glaring back down at the young man. "But what does one want with me?" he asked raising an eyebrow.

"Our friend is stuck and we can't get'em out." The man said.

"And why would I help a young run down runt like yourself?" He asked.

"Come on man I'll throw some bits in the mix if you help us out." The young man seemed anxious, and he knew it something didn't seem right about this. But the tall man sighed if things get out of controll it's nothing he wouldn't have a problem handling. Either way who knows he might enjoy himself,

"Take me to your friend." He sighed.

The man led him to a large opening in between two aparment complexs in the alley. "Nnngh! Get me out of here man!" A young pegasi boy cried out. He was wedged inbetween two large metal sheets in which where pinning him to the floor crushing his gut. "You gotta get me outta here!" He wheezed "God this hurts!" The tall man yawned.

"So man can you do it?" The young man asked who was standing at his side. He sighed raising up his arm opened palmed facing the boy pinned under the metal he closed his eyes. Concentrating on the two metal pieces which pinned him, opening his eyes a blood red auroa formed around the edges of his eyes and hand. He could feel the magic in his body pulsating and surging, stretching out his magic he wrapped it around the metal pieces. Which then they too had the same red auroa wrapped around them. With a flick of his wrist the two metal pieces lifted off the ground freeing the boy, who quickly scampered away from the floating sheets.

"There." He said tossing the sheets of metal to the side. "Your friend is free. Now where is my reward?" He asked. The young man chuckled.

"You must be stupider then I thought gramps. Do you really think that we would have a reward for you. You even said it yourself we're just run downed runts." He heard the clicks of switch blades, glancing his head back he saw three men (Counting the young pegasi boy he saved.) stepping out two of them weilding switch blades, and one pretty big guy carring a large lead pipe on his sholders.

"Just as I expected." He smiled turning his attention back over to the wanna be thug. "Do you really want to do this?" He asked.

"Shut up and give us all your bits!" The man pulled out a switch blade flicking his wrist causing a nasty looking blade to come out.

"I don't have any." The tall man sighed.

"What? Then how are you able to afford those cloths!" The man growled taking a step foward.

"Look kid!" He grabbed the man by the throat and forced him into the side of the apartment. The man gasped his eyes growing wide with fear. "Even if I did have any money I wouldn't even give you anything!" He snarled.

"Hey let go of him!" A voice shouted as he felt a large metallic object collied with his back sending a jolt of nothingness into his body.

"Alright then." He released the man who fell to the ground clutching his throat. "You're gonna regret YOU'VE EVER DONE THAT!" he spun around jamming his left hand into the large man's gut. The tips of his fingers puncutering his stomach. Grasping his fingers around his intestines. The large bulky man who was weilding the lead pipe dropped it instantly his face turning pale as small droplets of blood formed at the bridge of his mouth. The three thugs gasped, the other thug with the knife reacted instantly as he charged at the tall man with his pocket knife yelling. The tall man stretched out his right arm gripping the boys face. In one swift motion he twisted his body ramming the boy's face into the concrete wall and disembowling the other killing them both. The pegasi boy and the other thug, began to run, "Where do you think you're going! I'm not done with you!" Allowing the pegasi boy to escape he stuck out his right hand using his magic he grasped the wanna be thug's right leg. Causing him to collaspe to the ground. He then proceeded to drag him back into the alley way, the tall man met the thug half way grabbing him by the collar he rammed the man into the wall causing him to cry out in pain.

"Wh-what do you want from me! I told you I have no money so I can't give you-"

"Silence!" He slammed his fist a mere three inches from the mans had causing a large dent to form in the concrete wall. The man shrieked like a young girl at the sight of how close he came. "You're gonna answer one simple question for me okay?" He said, the man nodded his head a few tears leaking out of his eyes. "Where's the Palace?" He asked.

"Wh-what?-" He rammed his fist into the wall two more inches away from his head this time.

"THE ROYAL PALACE OF THE TWO ANCIENT SISTERS!" He rammed his fist again this time just a inche away.

"Wh- which one!?" The man cried wetting himself. Before he could ram his fist into the now sobbing mans face he stopped raising an eyebrow.

"What do you mean which one?" He asked.

"There's two castles well I should say there was two castles but the other is in ruins!" The man cried. The tall man released the sobbing man who let out a high pitched yelp as he hit the ground.

"Could you please so kindly point me in the direction of these here ruins?" He asked. With out hesitation nor question the man's right arm shot up pointing in the direction.

"It's in the Everfree Forest follow the path and you won't miss it." The man quickly said. The tall man turned and began heading in the direction the thug discribed to him.

"W-wait! You're gonna spare even after what I attempted to do to you? Who are you?" The man stopped and turned.

"Heh. Do you really wanna know?" The man nodded. He turned spreading out his arms. "My name... My name is Blood Moon"

The thug frowned, "Blood Moon that name sounds frankly familar-OH MY GO-" Blood Moon lunged out clutching the thugs mouth with his right hand while his left and ripped his collar away from his neck exposing his skin. Seconds later Blood opened his mouth revealing his elongated teeth, which he then sunk his teeth into his neck consuming all his blood.

Blood made his way out of the alley. Wipping the rest of the blood off his face with his hanker-chif which then tucked back into his coat. It's been a while since the last time he ever had human blood, and man didn't it feel refreshing. Blood smiled he felt re-engergized he wanted something to do something exciting he felt as if he was a thousand years younger. Shaking the thought out of his head. "Come on, you have to stay focused." He told himself.

"See officer! That's him that's the guy right there the one in all red! He's the one that attacked us!" A familiar voice shouted craning his head back, blood say the young pegasi boy guiding two police officers towards him both carring patons.

"Oh fun." Blood grinned.

"Hey you right there! Put your hands behind your head!" One of the officers commanded. Blood smile grew wider, oh this was the most fun he had in centuries. He thought

"I wonder if I can still do that one trick." He mumbled to himself. Reaching up as if he was obeying the officers orders Blood took oof his glasses revealing his red eyes with his piercing slits. The two officers halted,

"What in the name of Celestia!?" Blood concentrated on the cops. His eyes begining to glow, all around pedestrians began to back away murming things. Some began going in doors locking their doors, within seconds Bloods eyes began to glow red seconds later the two officers eyes began to glow as they brought their arms down in defeat. They have fallen under bloods brain washing spell, blood smiled he been waiting centuries to say this again,

"I'm not the man you're you looking for." He said to the officers, the two officers nodded their heads. Tilting his head passed the cops he pointed at the pegasi boy. "He's the one you're looking for." With that blood broke the spell.

"Sorry to have wasted your time sir." The officers apoligized.

"Not a problem officers, but I would catch that crook before he gets away." Blood smiled. The two cops nodded and turned back towards the pegasi boy.

"You there you're under arrest!" One of the cops shouted.

"Wh-what!?" The boy began backing away. "He's the one who attacked us arrest him!" He yelled pointing a accusing finger a t Blood. Blood gasped,

"How could you accuse me of such a crime. Officers arrest him!" Blood smiled wickedly.

"Already planned on it." The police officer on the right planted his hand on the back of the boy's neck. The boy thrashed wildly and flapped hi wings. Breaking free from the cop the boy took off.

"We go a runner!" Both cops shouted at the same time while chasing after the flying boy. Blood laughed placing his glasses back on his face he smiled ear to ear.

"Oh I'm going to have so much fun here."
