"What's the name of this village?" I said.

"This is Las Ponyia," said Top Shot.

We were surrounded by one-story huts. They had regular doors, but the windows were barred. The village had a small stone wall surrounding. Some of the huts were larger which appeared to be stores. They walked to the center of the village. There were several fillies and foals playing. A young blue unicorn with a red mane and tail came up to us.

"What are you," she asked.

"I'm an Alicorn," I said. At that word she freaked out and ran to a pink mare with a blue mane and tail with a streak of pink. They just looked at us. I could see that they were scared.

I looked at Top Shot and asked,"What was that about?"

He looked at me with a look that made him look like he was going to tell me something that was going to make me upset. "Your brother is the dictator."

I almost fainted at the sound of this. "Your kidding. Right," I said.

"No," said Top Shot,"but we should take you to the local healer."

----------
AT THE LOCAL HEALER

"Your wing took a good hit. You'll want to stay off of it for a year," said the local healer.

" Did you just say a year?" said Top Shot as the healer was putting a cast on my wing.

I said, " We don't have a year. I have to stop Starflight as soon as possible."

" Only his brother can defeat him," said the healer.

" I'm his brother," I said.

She looked at me with a look a look of disbelief, but the more she looked at me, the more belief filled her eyes. I paid her for the cast and we left for the village center. The mare and the filly were still there, but the filly was talking about me to the  other fillies and foals there. The filly looked up and saw me. She ran into a nearby hut. The pink mare from earlier came up to me and said, "Sorry about my daughter screaming at her. Alicorns make her think about Lord Starflight."

" I understand. After all, what my brother did to Equestria is worse than the Changelings, Discord, and Nightmare Moon combined," I said.

"You're Lord Starflight's brother. You died many years ago," she said.

"He cast a sleep spell on me. I believe it was a super sleep spell," I said. "I'm Daylight Runner," I said as a put a hoof out.

"I'm Slight Fire," she said and shook my hoof. "Do you have a place to stay, tonight?"

"No. Why?" I asked as Top Shot walked up with some apples and other stuff in his sachel bag. "Where did you get that stuff?"

"Stole it," he said.

"What?!" both me and Slight said at the same time.

"I'm kidding," chuckled Top Shot.

"Sure hope you are," I said.

"Anyways, You and..."

"Top Shot."

"Top Shot can stay at my house tonight, if you need to," said Slight.

"Ok, I guess we'll be there," I said.

"It's that house over there," said Slight, pointing at the house opposite of us. "Bye."

"Bye," I said.

"Bye," said Top Shot. After she said walked away, Top Shot, "Do you think we could trust her?"

"We are at a disadvantage. It is two against one, but he's on the latest spells. I'm 1500 years behind on spells."

"That's not true," replied Top Shot.
