A dark figure stood at the top of the cliff overlooking Ponyville, looking back at the portal it had created it chuckled darkly. "so, tirek was defeated in this world too?... it is of no consequence, I highly doubt this worlds hero would be able to stop me" the being then heard a snap as its followers entered the universe. "Soon all worlds shall know of his true power" It had been several months since I first met Zecora. turns out she was a great alchemist, one I would no doubt rely on for health potions and various other things. she helped me learn to meditate. my mind had become slightly fragmented for a short time thanks to a mishap with a spell. luckily the spell wore off. it was lucky i was understanding. Twilight was currently looking over some notes with Zecora, the Zebrican then Smiled sweetly at me for a moment, then continued to work out the problem Twilihgt was having. I snuck off in search for something to do. however, there was a brief chill running down my spine, like a weakened Spidey sense. I looked over to the cliff, seeing the silhouette. A flash of pain suddenly gripped me. Simply shaking it off, Spike shot me a worried glance. "Spike, dont say anything, please" I spoke quietly. he simply nodded still worried.

"Alan will be fine, I am sure of it" Zecora smiled at the young librarian before continuing "who ever he meets will be in very deep shit" she nodded sagely.
