Wolf was still chained in the same room, with the same company. It was enjoying the pain he was in,obviously. The effects of the serum they gave him wore off however, and they had to keep injecting him with a new dose every few hours. His neck looked more like a pin cushion now. It taunted him at every chance it could. He later found out that the creature he was being tortured by was a Spinar Queen. The Queens held great power among the Spinar, but were simply mates of the King. It....She explained to it that the Queens were leading the Spinar military against the humans, and that the King was far away on the Spinar homeworld. It told him this, and nothing else. It just continued to taunt and torture him.
“You know, I really enjoyed seeing that bitch Cougar die. It was such a beautiful sight.”
Wolf's anger grew.
“But it can't compare to seeing the 'great' Wolf in such pain.”
It laughed. Wolf's anger turned into pure hatred.
“Oh, I just love breaking relationships. She loved you, you know .You could see it. And you loved her back. You wanted her, but now you can't have her....and guess who you have to thank for that.”
It burst into laughter.
Wolf's anger turned into rage. He quickly threw his arms forward.
His chains shattered. He was free. The Queen immediately stopped laughing.
“GUARDS!!!!” She screeched.
The Wasp guards quickly opened fire on Wolf.
He moved his hands in a pushing motion. The spikes that were fired flew back to the ones that fired them. Wolf brought out his blades. He launched off the platform straight towards the Queen. She tried to stop him, but it was impossible. He struck her head on with huge force, it actually caused her great pain. She was knocked back, and was now lying on the ground of her large chamber. Wolf climbed up to her head. Fear consumed her as she looked into the humans eyes. Before they were deep blue, now both his eyes were completely black. He held his right arm right above her head, the blade drawn.
“I just love killing Spinar.”
His arm came down.

Wolf woke up in the middle of the night. He was panting heavily once again.
He whispered to himself.
“What happened to me that day?”
* * * * *
Luna had finished her duties for now ,and she was walking down the palace halls, heading towards her sisters room. She came right outside the door, the guards standing there. She looked up at the door, looking at the image of the sun carved into the wood. She opened the door and walked in.
Celestia was awake, lying down on the floor. She looked up at her younger sister.
“Luna, I didn't hear you come in. Come here, sit with me.”
Luna sat down beside her sister. Celestia could see that she wanted to ask her something.
“Is there something you want to talk about sister?”
“Yes. I want to know how the meeting with this 'Wolf' character went.”
“Well, I asked him questions.”
“And were the answers all right?”
“The answers were fine, but......”
“But?”
“He's been through much. He has anger, hatred within him. These 'Spinar' he spoke of caused him great pain. All of those feelings remain within him, and they've been compiling over the years. He released a small portion of them once.”
“Did he talk to somepony?”
“No. They were released in another way. Suddenly, quickly.......violently.”
“..........”
“He has power within him. Great power. But it is wild, untamed.”
“What kind of power?”
“He has great magical powers. But like I said, they are wild and untamed. He can't control them. Not without training.”
“Training? You want to train him?”
“I don't want to train him myself, but I want somepony close to him to do it.”
“Twilight?”
“Yes. I can't think of a better teacher.”
“Perhaps he would be better off with somepony else.”
“No, Twilight is close to him, she knows more about him.....and she cares about him.”
“She.....”
“No,not like that. She cares about him as a friend, but I wouldn't be surprised if she develops those kind of feelings for him.”
“You want to train him and bring him closer to somepony.”
“And Twilight is the best possible candidate.”
“But, why?”
“I don't like preparing like this, but something is going to happen. Something important. And Wolf will play a crucial part in it.”
“What will happen sister?”
Celestia got up and went to the window,gazing outside.
“I don't know Luna. I don't know.......”
A moment of silence.
“And it scares me.....”
Luna walked up to her sister and hugged her tightly. She could see the tear forming in her eye.
“Whatever it is, we will face it together sister.”
“I fear that we alone will not be able to face it Luna. All of Equestria's fate may rest in Wolf's hoo-.....hands.”
Luna released Celestia from her embrace. Celestia walked over to a desk, and levitated a quill and began to write on the piece of paper on the desk. Luna exited the room in complete silence. Celestia continued to write.
My most faithful student......

Late at night, Spike lay in his bed, mumbling in his sleep.
“Rarity.....I love you.....kiss me....”
His sentence was interrupted by a quick belch. The fireball that emerged turned into a letter, which fell to the ground.
Spike simply turned and faced the other direction, unfazed by the belch.
The next morning.........
Twilight yawned as she woke up. She got up and looked to her side. Nyx was lying there, still asleep, curled up into a ball. Twilight couldn't help but let out a sigh at the adorable sight. She tried to go downstairs,until a small lump on the floor caught her eye. She moved closer to it, and saw the letter.
“A letter?”
Her horn glowed as the letter lifted off the ground and unfolded.
“It's from the Princess......” she muttered to herself.
She began to read the letter.
My most faithful student,
I have an important mission for you. As you know, I spoke to Wolf yesterday. While we were, I noticed something. It was the magical potential he has. His power is great, but he can't control it. Not without help. You are to train Wolf in the art of magic. He will be your student. Teach him well Twilight. I hereby grant permission for Wolf to live in Ponyville alongside his friend and teacher, you.
Your teacher,
Princess Celestia.
A huge smile appeared on Twilight's face. In the blink of an eye, she bolted downstairs to tell Wolf the good news....and to inform him of his talent. She arrived to find Wolf already awake, staring out the window at a hill with a lone evergreen on it.
“Wolf!”
The silence in the room shattered, Wolf turned around to face the voice.
“Morning.” he said.
“Morning.”
“So what's so important that you're screaming my name?”
“A letter I received from the Princess!”
“Something good happen?”
“Yes!They sai-.....”
“What's wrong?”
“This is going to be hard to swallow,but.....you have magical abilities.”
Wolf didn't know what to say. His mind was racing.
- - - - -
So that's how I deflected the spikes that day........
- - - - -
“Huh. That's.........interesting.”
“The Princess has granted you full permission to stay here.....and she has instructed me to teach you how to use your abilities.”
“Oh,you're gonna be my teacher?”
A smile appeared on his face as he joked.
“Greeeeeat.”
She levitated a pillow off the couch and threw it at him.
“Shall we get started?”
“Why not?”
