The journey to the castle's gardens hadn't taken long, the group of ponies led Silen out in to a large grassy patch with one tree in the centre of it.

"There, your outside." Fluttershy said

Fluttershy looked to the sky and saw the stars shining down on them. Silen moved his eye stalk so he could see the stars as well. His mind was full of thoughts and feelings he could not understand or explain. Ideas ran through his mind, ideas that no Dalek should be able to think of.

"WHY... CAN I FEEL?" Silen asked hesitantly.

"Twilight believes when I touched you, you absorbed my DNA and the power of the Element of kindness"  Fluttershy explained.

She looked back at the Princesses and her friends with uncertainty in her eyes. A cold breeze passed by and Fluttershy shivered at the feeling. Silen saw her shiver from the edge of his eye.

"WHAT WAS THAT MOVEMENT YOU MADE?" He asked

"It just feels very cold outside right now." Fluttershy answered.

Silen pondered the word "feel". He hadn't felt many things in his life, only the inside of his casing and the burning hate for all other life. His life had been full of nothing but death and destruction. But now with the DNA of this strange creature he felt so many things, things Daleks should never feel and it was killing him.

He continued to look up at the stars but he wanted to look at them with his own eye. Not this false eye on his casing. Low hissing noise emanated from his casing, the mid section split in two before being pushed down and out. The neck rings split and opened as well.

Fluttershy noticed this action unfold. She walked around in front of Silen to fully see what he is doing. She was not prepared to see a small shrivelled up, squid like creature with pinkish skin.

It looked at her with its single eye looked on at her, it moved ever so slightly and slowly, confirming to Fluttershy that what she was looking at was alive.

"This... this is the real you?" Fluttershy asked.

"Yes, this is the Dalek's true form." Silen said in a weak voice.

"I never asked if you had a name." Fluttershy said.

"I am commander Silen, leader of the Silencer Daleks." He responded.

He felt weak, so very weak. He felt his mind burn as he thought back to the day he lost everything, including his own people. The Daleks, the supreme beings wiped in a single moment.

"Where is the rest of your species?" Fluttershy questioned.

"Dead, they were lost in a great war along with my planet. I am the last of the Daleks." Silen simply stated.

He looked on at her, feeling her sorrow as if they were the same creature. But it was merely her DNA in his blood. He was no longer a Dalek, but rather an abomination to the Daleks. He knew he was inpure and had to be destroyed,  but for the first time in his life he was afraid to die. He couldn't do it himself, he needed to be ordered. And the closest thing to being his superior was Fluttershy, only because he shared her DNA.

"I have... a request," He said "I want you to order my death."

Fluttershy looked at him in suprise and consern, not knowing what to make of his request. But in the end she couldn't do it.

"I... I can't." She said hesitantly. "I can't do that."

"But you must, You must order my death. My life is worth nothing now. I am alone and my purity has been taken from me."

Fluttershy looked down at her hooves before looking back at Silen. She didn't know what it was like to lose her own kind, she didn't know what it was like to have her DNA mutated. He was right she had to give him the order.

"Ok... ok, I order you to... die." Ordered hesitantly.

"Are you frightened of death?" Silen asked.

"Yes."

"So am I..." His voice was slow and weak.

"Exterminate." Slien said one last time. His casing closed around him, putting him back in to the unfeeling dark. He saw through the false eye and elevated up of the ground. With a few thoughts and taps on his control panel he activated his self destruct. He looked down at Fluttershy one last time and closed his eye, he heard the crackling sound of electricity before a loud boom occurred.

Then just like that, there was silence. Nothing, not sight, not hearing, no feeling. Just absolutely nothing.

But perhaps that is for the best. Perhaps this was the way it was ment to be.
