	Night Spark made one last leap, his hooves hitting the solid dirt of the top of the cliff. He trotted further forward on the cliff then flopped down to catch his breath from the climb. He made this journey as often as he could afford, but lately it had become less and less frequent with his home life getting more and more hectic. 

Maybe that's a good thing. Every time you come up here you get sad.

Night shook the thought away and stood back up. He walked to the opposite edge of the cliff from where he climbed up and looked out at the night sky. In the distance he could see the shadowy form of Canterlot and the mountain Canterlot rested on. He wasn't sure what the name of the mountain was. He was not even sure the mountain had a name.

Probably called Canterlot Mountain, or something like that.

Night let himself smile at the thought. His eyes drifted past Canterlot, to the faint shadowy forms of the Crystal Mountains. As he stared at the forms his smile slowly faded. He stared, waiting with his breath held for the familiar shapes to start moving around the air near the mountains. As if on cue several black dots came into view over the mountains, swirling and dipping in the air.

Good they're still there.... I don't know why I'm worried about them.... I was the one that broke the safety of our secluded home.... Wandered off into the heart of the pony empire...


Night closed his eyes and sighed bowing his head sadly. 

I'm sorry Mom....
