As he walked away from Luna which he could hear her vow that she would tell Song the truth by the deadline he set, he couldn't help but think about everything that has happened to him in his life. Though he got his cutie mark at a young age and even his tutoring in illusion magic at Celestias School for Gifted Unicorns, he is still unhappy with his life. And he even thought he had found out what was missing, it now seemed obvious that he would lose that as well, but that just made him remember his condition...

"What are you saying?" His mother asked her voice in a panic.
"It happens with every unicorn in our family. It's some form of split personality disorder that only affects arcane magic, and I think our son is starting to suffer from it. I thought is was high time to tell you, both of you of my side of the family's condition." His father replied his voice sounding sad to the young Onyx ears.
"So what's going to happen to me?" He asked fear in his voice.
"Well you're more than likely going to have to deal with a side of you that isn't you, do you understand that?" His father asked.
"Not really, I know what split personality disorder is. So I can at least understand that i'll have another personality inside, but what'll happen to me? Will I just simple fade away in my own mind?" He asked his anger rising though he didn't know why, and he saw his parents flinch.
"No you won't fade away, I can't explain everything since nothing is really known about this form of it. But I assure you son that the kind pony you are just won't fade away and be controlled by his other side." His father said after gathering himself.
"How do you know?" His anger still rising.
"Because if that were the case then your grandfather would have lost who he really was long ago." His father yelled, but at that very moment everything went black.
---
He remembered being woke up by the royal guard saying his parents were there to pick him up. But when he went home he could feel the fear in them. They told him what happen after he had blacked out, that his other personality seemed to take hold.
His parents told him to look in the mirror so he could see the change in his eyes. When he did he was token aback, his once silver eyes now gone. One eye now a moderate tangelo, while his other eye was a moderate azure and he could see his own fear.
Yes he still felt that fear every time he still looked in a mirror and saw those eyes. When his other side came out it was a side of pure anger, and when he looked at somepony it always made them shiver in fear. The best way he could explain it was he put out an aura that reminded other's of their most deepest darkest fears.
Most of the time he could keep it under control and everything would be fine, but some things seemed to set his other personality off. Like the bill at the dinner was because he felt like they were being greedy, and he really hates the greed that some of the noble ponies in the city had. He also disliked the rich and posh ponies in the city as well, but that's mostly due to their greed, he would rather donate his money to someplace that needs it.
As he looked around he could definitely could tell that this city doesn't need the extra money, and as he looked he could see some of the newest inventions. A turn table, though he prefers classical and would rather listen to it in pony, but he still loved to see how some technology was being advanced. Though one thing that he couldn't stand was the progression of some of the weapon, true the guards are only ever seen with spears but they were mostly for show.
The true weapons were hidden deep within the palace itself, but they were never really used which he was thankful for. Though he did talk about them, as he was always up for an intelligent conversation. But unfortunately with all of their money they really couldn't hold onto that kind of conversation even though he loved intellectual conversation.
"Oh hi there mister! What are you doing out here all alone? You know it's no fun to be alone don't ya?" A pink mare popped out of no where and broke him out of his thoughts, and he just blinked for a moment.
"Well actually I just got done with a date." He replied. "But what are you doing out this late miss..."
"Oh my name's Pinkie Pie, and that's great if you just done with a date! Oh my gosh we should totally through you a party!" The pink mare squealed in delight.
"As much as I like to have a party, it's late at night and I just met you. So thank you for the offer but I don't feel like having a party with a stranger. But you didn't answer my question, what are you doing out this late?" He asked again.
"Well i'm just here to stall for time." Pinkie replied with a huge smile.
"What do you mean Ms. Pie by stall for time?" He asked giving her a confused stare.
"Oh just to stall for time for this chapter in this fanfiction, oh forget it you wouldn't understand. So can I through ya a party tomorrow then? I'll be here until next week, I mean at least that's what he's planing on writing any way." Pinkie said.
"Uhh, sure you can through a party for me tomorrow I guess. But what did you mean to stall for time for this chapter? You make it sound like we're in some kind of book or something." He said trying to figure this out.
"Like I said you wouldn't understand, so i'll be by your place tomorrow then." Pinkie said then disappeared like she never was there in the first place.
"Wait, do you even know where I live?" He called out recovering from his shock.
"Oh right, so where do you live?" He jumped at the sudden voice from behind him.
"Wha...how?" Shaking his head he thought about her question wondering if he should tell her, but one look into her eyes and he knew that she would follow him home if that what it took. "Alright I live right by the royal observatory, you'll know which house it is." He replied trying to recollect his composure.
"Okie dokie lokie. See you tomorrow." Pinkie said, then proceeding to put her hoof on his nose and made a honking noise.
He couldn't help but smile at the innocents that she seemed to have, and even then he would have probably smiled. Though he got the feeling that she would never leave him alone until he smiled, and before he knew it she had disappeared again. This time looking all around to make sure she was gone he let out a small sigh.
"Well looks like i'm going to have some cleaning up to do if she's serious about having that party." He said to himself.
Though he thought she was a strange mare he couldn't shake the feeling that she was throwing him a party out of the kindness of her heart. Either that or she must have an extreme party addiction to through a random stranger a party even though she only knew them for two minutes. But before he could think about it any further and what she had said earlier he walked back to his house.
It was just an ordinary cottage right beside the observatory and a huge mansion. He preferred to live in a nice cozy cottage and not showing off his wealth. Though it was hard to find and he was even lucky enough to be right by his work place, though a block away.
As he went in he could see the familiar living room which was decorated in pictures of his family. He walked up to one in particular, which was of him and his parents standing in front of the school for the gifted and he had a huge grin. The memory of that day brought back tears, for that was the day his condition also took hold and he nearly lost his only family.
"I'm not sure if I can say sorry enough for what I did to you two that day. I know you loved me, but you deserve a better son, one that doesn't have this condition." He said letting out a sob and banging his head against the wall, and just then he felt a slight wind on his back.
He relaxed as it seemed the wind seemed to comfort him in a strange way, and as he looked back he saw a window that had somehow been open. And when he did notice the window the wind died down and he was now calm again, and he walked over and closed the window. Granted he could use his magic but he preferred to do things with his own hooves, and he looked out of the window at the moon and gave a small sad smile.
"I am really sorry I couldn't be a better son." He whispered before walking to his bedroom to rest.
