I sat in my cave, staring out over the snowy valley it overlooked. The remnants of my meal lay in a corner. I knew I should clean it up, but I just couldn't bring myself to care enough at the moment. Lulu would throw a fit if she saw this... A sad smile floated across my muzzle. ... This is my life now, isn't it?

With a sigh, I turned and shuffled over to the area I decided was my bed. I slumped over, staring blankly at the wall. It's going to be harder to find food, now that the snow's come in earnest. I curled up around my egg. And I'll have to give most of it to you, if you ever hatch. Assuming that nothing changes too much. I glared out the cave entrance.

"How long are you going to keep up the fucking charade, you fuck!" I mentally shouted with a snarl. With a twist of thought, I was outside glaring at the now rising gold moon. "And fuck you both!" I aimed at a collection of craters. "First sign of trouble, and you fuck right off?! FUCK YOU!!"

With that mental cry, I unleashed all of my mental might. The area around me was lashed with undirected psyonic energy. Trees and boulders were thrown about like leaves on the wind. The raging mental storm perfectly reflected my own inner turmoil.

As my emotions calmed, so did the psyonic storm. In the end, I was left completely drained. I fell over and lay on the bare dirt, panting heavily.

I'm so glad that I'm not staying here. I thought morosely. This would be a dead give away for when they come.

I sat up with a moan. Ugh, and what if they bring him along? What do I do? What do I say? He'll probably be the first in line to beat my ass down. I sniffed. And I'd deserve it. They'd come marching up the valley, with an army of ponies and creatures they've befriended or summoned in tow. All with the express purpose of mounting my head on a stick and scrambling...

I took a deep, calming breath before making my way back inside. "Maybe Leo was right." I mused at my egg. "How can we dare to bring new life into this crapsack world?"

All of a sudden, I felt an urge sharply rise within me. I made my way back to the cave entrance with a groan. Oh, who's triggering a heart song now? I sat, and waited for the words to come. For the briefest of moments, I could swear I felt the others beside me. Even Spike and the others. Oh, Leo... I smiled sadly. As one, we began to sing.

As the lyrics drifted away, I gently pulled my egg to me. I'm still too close here. Way too close. Don't want to hurt Spike more. With a crack of displaced air, I vanished with the egg.
