Twilight was walking down the streets of Ponyville getting a few things she needed for her library. "Let's see now... Paper, Ink, Scrolls, a few new quills..." she said to herself looking at her to do list as she checked off each item she has already gotten, "All that I need now is a few new books from the book store." She then turned to the direction to where the book store was and walked that way. She soon noticed a tall hooded figure wearing white gloves, black hoodie, and a black and white striped scarf. "Um.. excuse me sir," the lavender Unicorn said to him as the figure turned to look at her.

The figure wore a mask that was black on one side and a translucent white on the other and on the black side of his mask was a white eye and a half of a mouth. "Do you want to play?" he asked her.
Twilight was in shock when she saw the figure's face and was hesitant to speak for a moment, but then she soon replied to him, "Um... Do you think we can settle for tomorrow?"
The figure's white half smile started to disappear and on the white side of his mask appeared a black eye and a half of a frown then asked her with a curious voice, "Why?"
"You see, I have a few things to do today," the lavender Unicorn replied to him still in shock, "But I promise that I'll be free tomorrow, you have my word mister..."
"I am called Kagekao," the figure said as his black half frown turned back into a white half smile, "And I can live with that, if you are telling the truth."
"I am telling the truth Kagekao," Twilight nodded as she continued to walk towards the book store. 'He is really interesting,' she thought to herself as she looked back to see that Kagekao was gone as if he had vanished into thin air, 'And yet he seems like a monster strait from a horror book.' But she knew that will have to wait and get answer from Kagekao tomorrow because she has other stuff to do today.
The next day:
Twilight was busy re-shelving the last of her books in her library when she heard a knock on the front door. "Give me a moment please," she called out to whoever was at the door as she put the last three books on their proper shelves, "Okay, I'm coming." She walked up to door and opened it revealing Kagekao on the other side of the door with his half smile visible on his mask.
"Hello Twilight," he said with a happy tone in his voice.
The lavender Unicorn was surprised, "How do you know my name?!" she exclaimed to him, "I never told you my name when we first met."
"I was told by one of your friends known as Pinkie Pie," Kagekao replied to the lavender Unicorn, "So, ready to play with me?"
"Uh... Sure," she replied to Kagekao's question as he began to walk closer to her, "Um... Kagekao, what are you doing?" she asked backing away a little for every step that Kagekao made.
"You said you were ready to play with me," Kagekao replied to her putting one of his cat like clawed, gloved hands on her face as one of the claws gave the lavender Unicorn a scratch on the cheek, "So we are going to play together."
Twilight was horrified at Kagekao's actions, this wasn't like somepony would do to anypony, and then Kagekao started pinning her to the ground. "Whatever this game of your's is Kagekao, this must stop please," she said to him in fear.
"Aw, why?" Kagekao asked, "This is my kind of fun." But then all of a sudden, Twilight used her magic to summon a giant magic bubble around Kagekao. "Hey, what's going on here," he asked again, "Let me out of this thing!"
"I am truly sorry Kagekao, I truly am," Twilight apologized, "But you are just insane, I have to contain you until I can either figure out what to do with you or until you change your own ways."
"This is an outrage!" Kagekao yelled furiously as his half of a smile turned into his half angry face, "Let me go now!"
'I will have to keep him in my lab,' Twilight thought to herself, "At least until he might change his ways,' as she took Kagekao who was still inside her magic bubble to her lab, "I'm going to keep you here until you can either change your ways or allow me to send you back to wherever you came from," she said to him, "Do you understand?"
Kagekao growled at her, but then replied to her anyways, "Yes, I understand."
"I'll give you some food, just so you can't starve," she said as she walked up the stairs leaving Kagekao alone in the lavender Unicorn's lab, 'I hope I did the right thing,' she thought to herself again. She soon went back to working in her library with high hopes that as long as Kagekao is in her magic bubble, he wouldn't hurt anypony.
A few days later:
Twilight was as good as her word to Kagekao, she came down to check up on him once in awhile, and also giving him some food and water so he wouldn't starve. She started showing Kagekao something that he had felt when he was hanging out with his old friend Eyeless Jack and that was friendship. He then started to understand why his victims feared him. When the lavender Unicorn came back down for the thirty-fifth time to check up on him, she asked him, "So have you changed your ways yet Kagekao?"
He looked at her with his half smile clearly visible and replied to Twilight in a happy tone, "Yes, I have Twilight."
Twilight started to smile at him as she used her magic to burst the bubble that Kagekao was still trapped in and said to him, "I'm glad to hear that and I'm still sorry for trapping you in the bubble, but I am sure you can understand now."
"I understand," Kagekao said to her as they walked up the stairs to the library. Twilight let him stay for awhile and let him look at a few of the books in her library. Kagekao was just really intrigued by these stories.
When it was time for him to leave, Twilight said to him, "Goodbye Kagekao, I hope we can meet again sometime."
"I hope so too," he said to the lavender Unicorn as he walked away. This was a new change for Kagekao that he will never forget. He finally discovered what is the true meaning of friendship in his life.
A few years later:
It was the day of Twilight coronation as a new Princess of Equestria and as she was looking to the future, she was interrupted by a familiar voice, "Congratulations, Princess Twilight."
She looked up and saw Kagekao standing next to one of the pillars, "Kagekao?" she exclaimed in surprise.
"The one and only, Princess," Kagekao replied when the royal guards suddenly pointed their swords at him.
"Whoever you are, your going no where near Princess Twilight," one of them said to him.
"Guards, stand down!" the lavender Alicorn ordered the guards, "He's an old friend of mine."
