One Last Adventure

A New Way

He was awakened by the sound of crickets softly playing their song to an absent moon. He could feel a softness that could only be matched by grass underneath him, and felt a cool breeze blowing through that sent a small chill up his spine. He didn't open his eyes, but he could feel that he was not alone. He could hear the soft breaths they took, and could smell the scent of lavender and daisies. Whoever the mare was, he was grateful.

He finally decided to move and feel the extent of his injuries.

"How long was I out?" He asked the stranger as he finally opened his eyes. To his surprise however, he was greeted by the gentle and loving face of Princess Luna.

"Thou was out for three moons, more or less," she said with a touch of doubt.

"More or less?" Fury asked.

"Without our moon to judge time, we do not know."

"So where are we?" Fury asked as he looked around. They were in a large prairie, with large stones scattered throughout it's plain.

"We are in the field of heroes, do not worry friend, thou art quite safe here. This place is protected by a deep magic."

"Is it a magic strong enough to to hold back the Elements of Harmony?"

"The elements? Why would we need protection from the elements?" Luna asked, puzzled.

"Your villain found a way to change and control the elements..."

"Then all will be lost, and his power will know no bounds..."

"Why did you go into hiding Luna, when Equestria's need was most dire?" Fury asked, changing the subject.

A single tear fell from Luna's cheek as she looked up to the cloudy sky. "We hid because we are powerless to stop this nightmare, without our sister... our power is gone..."

"Gone, but Celestia had power when you were gone?"

"Yes, that was true, but this time the nightmare relinquished us of our power trying to banish us, and he very nearly succeeded..."

"If we can somehow get the elements back on our side, would it be possible to bring your power back?" Fury asked as the wheels began to turn in his head.

"'Tis possible, but how will you do it?"

"I'm still working on that, but if I can somehow get them separated from him, I could hit them with a memory spell or something..."'

"'Tis a clever plan, but doest thou know any memory spells?"

"Not a one, but I know one who does, if I can get to her... Twilight Sparkle.."

Fury slowly rose to his hooves as he felt the pain leave him. He began to walk towards the end of the graveyard when Luna stopped him.

"Wait brave warrior, thou may need this..." she said as he gave him a small locket.

He opened the locket to reveal a memory.

"Where did you??"

"Thou dropped it when thou crashed. Thou looks happy, and thou may need it if all else fails..."

Fury nodded and turned back to the west, where Las Pegasus and Twilight Sparkle waited.

This journey had changed him so much, and he had come to the realization that he wasn't the one meant to save this world, he never would be, but he was here to light the way to the one that could... if he could find her...
