	After four hours of telling stories of my time on the force and making new friends, I was feeling overwhelmed. I needed air. Heading towards the barn door I spot Pinkie and Mac sitting very close together, looking through the box of Al's I brought to her. She's smiling and laughing. I was right Mac was the support she needed. Nearing the door I see Fluttershy and Rarity curled up together in a corner, passed out. They make a nice pair. Can't believe how much they drank.
I spot AJ and Dash heading to the house for who knows what reasons and I don't want to know. I soon pass Twilight and Trixie heading towards town. Trixie looks about ready to pass out, barely able to stand she's leaning againist Twi for support. "Heading home are you?" I ask with a chuckle.
Twi looks up and smiles. "Yeah. Lightweight here had too much to drink." She says with a grin pointing at Trixie.
-Hic-"I did not!"-Hic- Trixie counters tring to stand on her own and nearly falling.
"You two becareful heading home. Been alot of drinking tonight." I say as they slowly make their way home. Grinning to myself I think, She's gonna have the mother of all hangovers come morning. I feel sorry for Twi, gonna have to deal with her like that. 
Turning towards the orchard I walk to the edge passing Applebloom and Scoot curled up under a tree together, a spark of love beginning between them. I smile to myself as Sweetie and Spike pass, deep in conversation standing close to each other.
I reach the edge of the orchard without passing anypony else. I decide to sit a while and relax, my mind wandering back to the dark spirit within me. And how he became a part of me. I feel a prescence sit beside me and lean on my shoulder. I look over and see Rayne looking up at me. "Something on your mind Sug?" She asks softly.
I look at her for a moment before staring back at the moon. "Thinking of my past is all. When I killed Reaper, I did so with a little supernatural help." I say looking at her, instead of disbelief I see understanding. She believied me. "When I was a colt, before I got my mark, I got in with the wrong crowd. They were worshippers of the The Four Apolcaliptic Ponies. They tried calling the Four to our realm. Didn't work well for them. I came out unharmed, for the most part. The Spirit of War became a part of me." I tell her. She doesn't flinch or laugh, she justs snuggles closer and smiles. Accepting what I say.
Wrapping her arms around me, she says softly, "It doesn't matter what sort of darkness you have in you, so long as you use itg for the rght reasons." I sit stunned for a bit, enjoying the warmth of her body againist me, before I wrap my left arm and wing around her shoulders, pulling her closer. Inner Darkness, outer light. With the end of one part of my life, a new one opens. I think to myself as I hear the voice of War in the back of my mind murmur in content. Even war enjoys peace.
