Chapter 2:They say death is sweet but the journey is the fun part

If you live too long, you go mad eventually...

And it's just worse if you can't die.-Zephyr

".....then Applejack knocked him out and that's that." said Brice finishing his story

"Your not lying but ah can't help feel that your not telling us something." said Applejack

"Hmmm anyways what have you guys been upto for the past week?" he said changing the subject

"Besides worrying about your health?" interjected Rarity

"Eeyup."

"Well we've been getting ready for the funeral and working."

"I see but why where yoy worried Spike must have told you that I was going to talk to Celestia about what happened right?" he said looking at Spike with a confused look on his face.

"Well you we...um....thought you might have......." whimpered Fluttershy

"Tried to kill myself?" he said.Fluttershy just nodded

"Ugh guys I'm not gonna try that again." he said rubbing his head

"But why would you do it in the first place?" asked Rainbow Dash

"Applejack knows,now if you'll excuse me I'd like to talk to Zephyr and Blue in private." he said motioning to the door

"Fine just don't go doing anything stupid now you hear?"

"I hear ya." he said as they walked out the door.

"Gentlemen I have a plan."

"Name?"

"Silverback."

"Occupation?"

"Ex-royal guard."

"Reason of retirment?"

"The human inflicted a small amount of damage to my brain but he caused me to be blind in one eye forcing me to quit."

"Where do you feel you'd be best suited we have hunters,scouts,soliders and engineers."

"What's a hunter?"

"Well a hunter goes out on their and tries to find specific targets using any means at their disposal but right now we only have two since most ponies are scared that the human will kill them."

"Sign me up." said the guard with an evil grin

"ARE YOU CRAZY?" shouted Zephyr at Brice

"Dude I know it mean seem it but it's the only way to bring back Twilight."

"An ancient sage FROM TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND YEARS AGO?"

"Yup."

"Ugh dude do you even know where to find him"

"Yup it's a secret passage way in the old castle your suppose to go to the alter an speak the words "Faasnu Kinbok Kril Mahfaeraak."

"Which translates as?" asked Blue

"I have idea i'll ask the man when we meet him."

"We?"

"Dude,I know for a fact you two won't let me go alone." he said with a smug grin

"You know us to well." said Zephyr

"Heh,your own fault."

"So when do we leave?"

"Now." said Brice as he put on his backpack

"What if we don't leave now those five will stop us."

"Dude what are we gonna eat?" said Blue with a worried look on his face

"Don't worry I've got a friend who's dropping some stuff off for us."

"Can we trust him?"

"..........I saved his son's life I doubt he would double cross me."

"Wait why would he do that?"

"Ugh I haven't told the whole story."

"Called it" said Zephyr

"Dam it" said Blue handing Zephyr ten bits

"Ugh anyways after we talked she......."

"Hmm intresting so you kinda have to leave otherwise she might destroy Ponyville looking for you?"

"Dude she may be angry but she's not gonna kill m..." he was cut off as the window smashed open and a pony cloaked in black appeared wielding a sword.He lunged at the trio of them barley dodging the blade.

"WHAT THE HA.." he was stopped as the pony bucked him knocking him to the ground it then turned to deal with Blue.He was backed into a corner as the assailant approached him.

"Any last words?" he said his voice obviously masculine

"Yheah just three."

"Oh and they are?"

"Get him kitty."

"Huh?" as he spoke a black figure landed on him knocking the blade from his hoof.

"Cheeky son of a bitch," said Brice dusting himself off.

"Heh I thought as much." said Mobius as he headbutted the assassin knoking him out.

"What made you change your mind?"

"Well I heard about how your trying to revive Twilight and I thought I might as well hel....what are you staring at?"

"Dude you glowing." said Brice.

"Wait....my job was to stop that pony from killing you?"

"Wait job?"

"I'll explain when we meet again but Brice this means fate has something big planned for,you try not to die." he said with a smug grin.

"I don't get it." said Brice and Blue in sync.

"Heh nobody does." he said as he vanished.

"........we gonna leave now?" said Zephyr

"Yup." said Brice as the trio walked out of the door leaving the assassin tied to a pilliar.
