"Yes Luna decided to step down and go with my solution. At long last you will be treated."

"While not being able to move, I had Rarity go into the archives and retrieve some books from the mental health section. I found a spell, though not entirely painless, it will cure you of all mental illnesses you have. It is a extremely complex spell, that's why I brought Luna with me. She may not be happy with this, but she agreed nonetheless. And for that Luna," She looked at her sister. "I am grateful."

"Ok, if you two are ready, we shall get started." We both nodded. "Good. Seth close your eyes and look up." I did as instructed. "Try to stay conscious for as long as possible." There was a flash of light followed by a burning sensation on my forehead. She was right it wasn't painless, not one bit. The searing hotness of the spell was almost unbearable.

I ended up passing out near the end of it. I could feel the pain while I was unconscious. The burning would not cease! It was dark, like a void. I couldn't even see my hands in front of my face. I couldn't feel anything either, it was like I was nothing more than a floating head. I heard a faint beep in the distance. I tried to concentrate on where it came from, and then after a few more seconds I heard it again. It sounded like a heart beat monitor. "Did the spell kill me?" I thought as I walked toward the beeping.

I was closer now and I heard voices. They were muffled, so I couldn't understand what they were saying. I got a little bit closer and they were louder now. Both the voices and the beeping. I was closing in on them, and up ahead I could see something. It was too blurry and I couldn't make anything out. The voices were understandable at least. It was Celestia and I think a doctor talking.

"...But I am surprised to say the least Princess. After all of that he just surrenders?"

"And he did it all without alarming anypony.... He's good. Are you sure you made the right decision?"

"Yes, I believe I did. Not only is purged of what caused everything in the first place, he should at least have some trust regarding me and the Elements. Whether or not he does will remain unseen until he's awake."

"I suppose you're right." I started to open my eyes and he took notice. "Oh looks like he's waking up."

I blinked and looked around. "Tell me Princess: How many times am I going to wake up in a hospital?"

"I see, then the pain hasn't gone away yet. Hmm...I think you should stay here for a few more days."

The only ponies that bothered to see me were Fluttershy, Applejack, and Twilight. But the only one to speak was Applejack.

"Y'all caused The Princesses a heap of trouble, you know that?! Do you know how many funerals they attended!?"

"Why didn't you? I wasn't only talking to Celestia you know. I was talking to all of you. If you wanted to hit me, you could have." I looked at Fluttershy. "Same thing with you. You could have yelled at me, if you wanted to."

Fluttershy shrank and Applejack spoke again. "Ah just might when you get out. I just came here to tell you y'all aren't welcome at the farm until you prove you're back to normal."

All the scans for any and all mental illness were negative and I was released from the Canterlot Castle Royal Hospital a day ago and stayed last night in one of the guest rooms in the castle. I'm on my way to the throne room to meet with Celestia for some sort of royal business. I entered the throne room and it was empty, save for Celestia. I walked up to her and bowed.

"You may rise Seth." I stood up. "I have asked you here to give you your overwatch job back. The only condition is: The Elements can not know about this. Understood?"

"I will pay you as well. Also, there is a house that has just been built in Ponyville. Since Fluttershy and the others have refused to house you, I reserved the house for you and had it remodeled to have enough room for you and your things."

"I'm glad you think so." She smiled. "Here is the address. I am sorry, however, to inform you that Pinkie refused to throw you a house warming party."

She floated the paper over to me and I took it and put it my pocket. "It's ok Princess. I understand how they must feel. I hope they warm up to me again though."

"As do I. Your things have already been delivered to your home. If anything is missing just send me a letter and I will have it retrieved."

"It is no trouble. Oh! I almost forgot, Twilight said she wants you to stop by the library when arrive at Ponyville."

"Yes, here is you first payment, I understand you owe a certain train conductor some money?"

"Thank you Celestia." I left the throne room and started towards the train station.

The nap I took on the way to Ponyville was the most restful nap I have ever taken. I paid for my ticket and paid the conductor the money I promised him, he was surprised that I actually gave him any money at all. I found my house in a matter of minutes. It was near the library and pretty close to the train station. The key was in the mailbox it turned out. I took the key and unlocked the door. It was a pretty average house but I was still grateful it was big enough for me. It was also fully furnished. And I don't know how she did it, but she somehow found my long lost Night-Vision Goggles. they were sitting on the coffee table with a note that said "For night missions." I laughed and played with them a bit. After looking around some more, I went over to Twilight's and knocked on the door, and after a few minutes that little black filly opened the it. She jumped and ran back inside not closing the door. After a couple more minutes Twilight came to the doorway.

"Geez thanks for the warm welcome." I said flatly. "Celestia said you wanted to see me?"

"Yeah well not really, but somepony delivered something for you. I checked with the post office but they said they didn't have anything to do with it."

"And what did they deliver?" She was about to answer when a familiar tiny bark interrupted her. "N-n-no way. I-it can't be."

I was informed of a rather....emotional encounter you had recently. I saddened me to hear of such a thing happen to you, so I pulled some strings and brought this little scamp to Equestria. Think of it as a 'get better soon' gift. I'm not sure you're aware but that took a lot of effort on my part. I certainly hope that you are grateful, and know that I expect nothing in return.

My jaw dropped and I fell to my knees and my eyes started to tear up. I could hardly believe it.

I stopped myself from crying anymore and whistled. A little white puff ball came running and jumped into me, causing me to fall over. He was barking happily and wagging his tail at a million miles per hour. It couldn't hold in anymore. I grabbed and held Sparky and cried tears of pure joy.

"Uh Seth? Do you mind telling us what's wrong?" I couldn't say anything so I just handed her the note. It took her seemingly a second to read. "Grim R. Pony? Who in the hay is that?"

I stopped crying and started to pet Sparky. "You might know him better as Death. His somehow brought Sparky back to me. Twilight, this is my puppy from earth. He died when I was young and now he's back! I-I'm just so happy!" Twilight invited me in and I accepted. She said she wanted to know everything that happened to me while Luna was looking for me.

All of that was a month ago. Now I regained my trust in the Elements and they trust me again as well. I visit Gloomy Town every once in a while to see how The Mare is doing and to just generally check on the town. I take Sparky on pet play dates with the Element's pets. I don't like Opalescence though. She swiped at Sparky but hes fine and that's all that really matters. Fluttershy and I are still apart however but we are thinking about starting over. I also have a small music career with Vinyl and Octavia. I'm really glad Fluttershy didn't get rid of my bass.
