	Blade was utterly shocked when he arrived in Ponyville. There was unicorns, pegasi, and earth ponies all living side by side. Where blade came from, if a earth pony even got near a unicorn, it was instant death. And another thing, everypony  was happy. Litterally everpony. Blade came to his senses after couple of minutes of staring and realized that if somepony caught him staring it would jepordize his position.

Blade didn't take five steps before Pinkie showed up.

"Hitheremynameispinkiepieandi'msooooooohappytomeetyou!yoiumustnotbefromaroundherebecausei'veneverseenyoubefo-"

Pinkie gasped and ran the other direction. Blade blinked a couple of times. Never in his life had he heard a pony talk that fast before. Was she  even speaking english? And why did she run away? Blade just shook his head a couple of times before heading into the town to find supplies. He had all the bits he needed thanks to his sensei. He just hoped he wouldn't run into anymore ponies before he could find a place to sleep.

After Blade finished getting supplies he decided to look around the town. He didn't find anything too interesting besides a farm, a bakery, and a library. He liked the sound of a nice and secluded farm. He would have to check that out later. As for the baker, well he was already eating a cupcake. After you've been on the road for days, a cupcake is like being royalty. The most interesting thing he found the was the library. He needed to study magic as much as possible while he was here so he would be better prepared when he ran into trouble. He finished his cupcake and started walking there.

Blade finally got to the library and knocked on the door. A purple unicorn opened the door and greeted him with a big smile. 

"Hi there! My name is Twilight Sparkle.Can i help you?" 
Twilight asked nicely. Blade had used the only spell he knew to cast a voice altering spell on himself and asked in a robotic like voice. 
"Do you happen to have any magic books by chance?"
Twilight looked slightly confused by his voice for a second but then her face brightened up and said, 
"Well of course! what type of magic books are you looking for?"
Blaze took a minute to respond. 
"I need magic on the subject of fighting,"
He said as carefully as he could, 
"Fighting and healing."
Twilight asked nicely, 
"What level?"
Blade just sat there with a blank expression. "I'll just read you're power level and see." Twilights horn lit up and a harmless laser hit Blades horn. It was gone in an instant and twilight looked very impressed. "You have the power of an alicorn!" she exclaimed. "That is incredible! So how much magic training have you had to get there?" Before Blade could think about he replied, 
"None. Actually I was hoping I could get help from somepony to learn it."
Twilight looked like she was going to burst of excitement. 
"If you want i could teach you. Come back for your first lesson."

He thanked her and left. After he got outside he realized how weird it was that the library was closing in broad daylight. He kept that thought in the back of his mind as he walked into the town square without noticing. He was about to head to the outskirts of the farm when suddenly he hear a group of ponies exclaim, 
"SURPRISE!"
Confetti fell from the sky and the pink pony from earlier was there. So was the librarian and a couple other of ponies.

Blade of course by habit threw a smokescreen and disappeared. He didn't stop running until he was far from town. Then he took of the covers from his wings and covered his horn. He flew up into the sky and landed on a cloud. He shoved his head deep inside, knowing he had made a huge mistake. If he went back there they would ask. He KNEW they would ask. But he had to keep his secret hidden. His covering on his horn felt loose so he undid it. Right before he put it on he noticed a draft coming from beside him. He thought nothing of it until he heard the voice.
"Hey there," said a reasonably sized dragon floating beside him. "You look like you could use help with a secret or two."
