I awoke yet again in the now familiar new world, Kira was waiting for me, did this guy ever sleep? ``Morning mortal`` He said in his cold voice, I was thinking he was beginning to warm up to me yesterday, sigh, oh well.
``So what happen next?`` I ask curiously.
``You’re going home.`` He said flatly.
``What?! But I barely learn to control anything!`` He tsk at me.
``Everybody or in your case everypony need to learn to control their power on their own we all have different way to learn and since My powers are centered around the reading of souls and the control of shadow I couldn’t make you learn to control water even if I want to.`` I sigh in disappointment as he motion me to follow.
We arrive at a glowing golden gate before I could enter he block my path. ``One last thing before you go, I teach you the basics that you have to know to mastered your own energy, if you ever abuse of your powers I will take the case personally and track you down is that clear?`` I gulp nervously.
``Crystal``
``Good`` He said satisfied, with that he open the gates and as soon as we pass the light I became lightheaded again, but it’s wasn’t as bad as the first time. I began to hear two voice arguing. One of them was definitely feminine and the other sound more like a old man whit a lot of wisdom.
``…Irresponsible why do he did that?! A mortal shouldn’t have these abilities we have enough problem with the soul reapers as it’s is, we don’t need him to be forming every mortals that show up whit a potential.``
``Personally I think it a good thing if we have a few mortal with spiritual ability scattered around in the multi-verse, the soul reapers would have more difficulty to find the lost shards.``
``Harmony you’re always thinking what is balancing the worlds and not what is good! You know as good as me that the mortals are easily corrupted.``
``Yes and I also know that some of these ‘mortals’ have save some worlds multiple time from tyrants who was abusing of their powers.``
``Fine I will let it go for now but don’t come crying when one of those try to rebel against us like the ones thousand of years ago.`` She storm out of the council.
I turn to look at Kira. ``was that…``
``Yes it’s was Harmony and Gaia the two other elders, Gaia became distant to the mortals since the war. She feel betrayed that her own Childs would try to kill her, I can sympathise with her but she should let it go, it’s was millenniums ago.`` I can’t imagine how that would feel to be attack by your own foals.
``Ah Kira and young Peace Dreamer you’re are both back.`` Said the booming voice of Author. I bow to him respectfully and Kira just glare at him.
``So anything interesting happen since I left?``
``Nah nothing major some nobles that fuss about their life, Some petition and paperwork and new souls to greet, the usual.``
``Ok, well Dream you return to your world your friend and your little girlfriend must have miss you.`` I was shock I didn’t even talked about Equestria since I meet him how did he knows about Fluttershy?
``How did you…``
``Your soul is like a open book.`` He said creepily I stare he stare and he snickered, something I seriously consider that was impossible for the god of death.
``Nah seriously Celestia just mention it in her letter.`` I facehoof I should have know, but why did Celestia even mention that? And why did she send letters about me? it’s probably because of her they know of my power in the first place, but why mention my life in Ponyville this have nothing to do with with that, maybe they are just good friends? After all the princess is close of the mane 6 and if she is close of the elders it would be normal to mention them in a casual letters, I think.
I said goodbye to the two of them and I trot in my merry-way in the veil, one of the many doors caught my attention on hit was a golden triangle separate in tree part whit a empty triangle in the center, the small body of a bird point to the triangle with his two talons on each side and two wing encircling half of the triangle. Every gamers if not every person in my birth world know that symbol the tri-force this door probably lead to the land of Hyrule this is the second world I could consider myself live in after Equestria. I almost reach the door to enter the world but decide against it, the girls are probably waiting for me. Maybe I will come back another time.
I opened the door leading to Equi and was met with once again, a griffin but this time it’s wasn’t the one I was use to see, this one didn’t even said a word he just glare at me with indifference. Now that I was in my world I reach my medallion and teleport in direction of Ponyville.

I was standing on a hillside on my point view I could see the entire town whit the many pastel color ponies trotting around and talking to each other. ``It’s good to be home.`` Home… It’s made two months that I died, in a few minutes I lost my family, my humanity and my vision of what I through was reality. But I finally accept this place as home, of course I always want to come here like a lots of bronies but I never think I would one day consider this colourful and peaceful world as home.
In the sky there was a sort of aurora boreal. Don’t these thing are suppose to be in the north? I through fuck it it’s magic and I will let it at that. I saw that the library regain her place, wait I wonder if… Awww fuck my house is still destroyed, In the window I saw multicoloured lights flashing and the sound of dubstep was muffled. They have a party whiteout me? Well I guess I can’t blame them but there no way I will miss all the party.
With that I gallop to Twilight’s, I burst the door the party was in full swing already in front of the crowd was Vinyl Scratch banging her head whit the rhythm. The first familiar Pony that I saw after Vinyl was a familiar cyan Pegasus. ``HEY DASH!`` I said trying to be heard whit all the sound that the party was doing.
`` Hey, hey that the Dream`` She said whit a slurred voice she’s obviously drunk I didn’t know there was alcohol in Equestria. ``Oh man you better not let Shy see that.`` I gave her a puzzled expression.
``What do you mean?``
``WHAT?`` she said as the bass drop muffling my question.
At that moment Vinyl finish her song and the only sound that could be heard was me screaming. ``I SAID, WHAT DO YOU MEAN`` all of the ponies look at my direction I gave a sheepish smile.
``Dream is that you?`` Ask a soft and shy voice in the crowd. The ponies made way for the canary Pegasus. When she saw me her joyous expression quickly change to a angry one. ``Peace Joseph Dreamer what did you do again!`` in all my time here she never said my middle name I’m not even sure when I gave her my middle name but I was too scare to think of that.
``W-what do you mean shy-shy?``
``Don’t shy-shy me mister and don’t tell me you not notice your black eye and your scares what did you do!?``
``I was just training whit Kira-``
``Well I want you to never see him ever again do you understand me?!``
``B-But h-he is a elder g-``
``I DON’T CARE WHAT HE ARE!`` she screech furiously I have fought dangerous monsters, wild animals, a mad time traveller and even a evil clone of me, but I wasn’t prepare for this. I would gladly fight a Manticore instead of dealing with a angry mare. ``Now you will come to my cottage and I will patch you up after that you are ground in Ponyville for a month mister.`` She said sternly.
``B-but I’m your colt-friend not a kid.``
``I DON’T CARE IF YOU LEAVE PONYVILLE YOU WILL SEE WHY I CAN MAKE A GROWN DRAGON CRY ARE WE CLEAR!?`` I nodded vigorously sweating bullets. Without warning she grab my tail with her teeth and drag me out of the library.
``Shy I can walk you know`` I said embarrassed at the stares the crowd gave me.
``SHUP UP!``
``Meep!`` I didn’t dare say anything else as she drag me in her cottage. Everypony stare at the door Fluttershy have drag me through for a few tense seconds,
A single mare in the crowd said. ``All the ponies in this town are CRAZY!``
