// A new arrival  v2 
// Story: Duncan the Demon Wolf in Equestria 
// by DemonWolf 
//------------------------------//

Duncan awoke in a forest with a large headache, reaching to rub his head he noticed his hands were not right. Looking at his hands he saw paws and black fur. "Woof," came out of his mouth as he went to speak to himself. 
‘What?' Duncan thought to himself, pawing his face he felt an elongated nose and jaw, much like a dog, or wolf to be specific. After a few experimental woofs he began to realize he was trapped in a wolf body. 
Duncan walked threw the forest on guard looking for some help, he came upon a castle shortly, with long royal banners some in orange and some in purple depicting two horse like creatures with wings and horns. As he approached he saw two of the depicted creatures fighting, tearing the castle apart. Not wanting to intrude he waited until he saw a beam of light lash out and saw the dark horse vanish into light.
'Well this sucks," Duncan thought seeing a white horse fly up and away from the castle. His instincts told him his last hope had just left the area.



- Demon Wolf -
Years later, more that the wolf could count, the wolf watched the night sky. It felt odd that night staring at the sky, from it's spot in the abandoned tower. Quietly it thought about how the night though about to end seemed darker than it should in mid summer, and how it knew that. As it thought the wolf saw stars move behind the moon, and in a flash the surface spots that made a face in the moon vanished. Moments later it smelled a new creature in the castle, and went to investigate.
Months later after failing to find the creature that had invaded its territory. The wolf observed the forest it lived in going chaotic with bramble vines growing everywhere. It hid in the castle during this time and waited till a bright light banished the vines.
A few days later the wolf was graced with visitors, to his castle. One he recognized as a powerful flying horned horse, and the other was a small dragon. Having lived as long as he had the wolf knew better than to tangle with a dragon however small let alone one of those weird horses, even if it was only pony sized. The wolf watched as other ponies came in, it knew they were not as strong as the first but it also knew that if he attacked on the others would come before he could do anything serious. Watching how they acted started to spark memories in the wolf. Long dead forgotten memories lost to time seemed to float to the surface as though they had just been on vacation and walked in the front door home.
Mulling these memories over the wolf failed to notice something sneaking up on it, until a few leaves rustled behind it. Lunging to the side, a claw grazed it's flank tearing open large gashes. The wolf glanced to it's side in time to see a claw coming at it's face. Hopping back the claw drew open a cut across the top of the snout. Without a second glance the wolf took off running figuring being alive was better than knowing it's attacker.
Running threw the forest the wolf realized two things first was what ever creature was chasing it, was faster than it. The second thing the wolf noticed after tripping it in a few hidden holes was this creature wasn't native to it's forest. It didn't know the terrain and it's smell so foul was entirely unique to the wolf's memories.
Using what he remembered of the forest the wolf led the creature threw a series of dangerous and deadly obstacles. Over time the wolf learned the creature was three times his own size, and very strong. Eventually the wolf lost the creature and paused to lick its wounds. The wolf realized that its wounds weren't healing as fast as they normally did, and the blood tasted bad. Memories of poison surfaced and the wolf knew it needed help. It was a long shot but he knew of a near by settlement at which the pony creatures stayed. The wolf decided to risk the settlement over death by poison. Using its remaining strength the wolf walked to the edge of the forest to a small cottage, where all sorts of animals lived.



- Fluttershy -
Fluttershy was getting ready to turn in for the night after her adventure in the forest, and was making a final check on the animals outside making sure they were warm and cozy in their little homes. As she went by she saw a dark shadow crawl out of the woods and collapse. "Stay back Angel," Fluttershy told her bunny friend as she flew over to the shadow. She recoiled slightly seeing that it was an everfree forest wolf, but came back after seeing that it was wounded. "Oh dear, this is horrible," she said as angel came over to a safe distance. As Fluttershy was about to get her bear friend to help her carry the poor wolf in she saw a robed figure walking to her.
"Good Evening good Fluttershy," said Zecora her zebra friend,"the winds spoke of pain, but why?"
"The wolf came out of the everfree forest," Fluttershy said as angel arrived with the bear, "He's badly hurt and needs help." The bear lifted the wolf carefully and carried him into the cottage as Zecora and Fluttershy followed.
"I know this wolf," Zecora said, "threw the forest he dwells near the castle of two sisters, around longer than I have been in the forest, I do feel even longer than ponyville has."
"Are you sure?" Fluttershy asked cleaning the wounds as Zecora borrowed materials to start a brew from herbs in her pack.
"The demon wolf has hair of red, pack of none, and intelligence of great," she answered, "this wolf is alone, has red hair, and the forest tells me came to you for help."
"Well I can't let him down if he came to me for help," Fluttershy said working, "what are you mixing?"
"An antidote I am mixing, for many poisons live in the everfree," Zecora said bringing the teapot to a boil.
"Okay," Fluttershy said as she finished cleaning the wounds and started to cover the wounds in gaze with Angel's help. Threw the next few hours the three of the worked bandaging the wounded wolf and administering the antidote tea in small sips. Finally the work was done and Zecora bid Fluttershy good night.



-Butterflies-
The wolf awoke the next morning confused, he was warm, on a soft cushion, and surrounded by strange smells. Slowly he opened his eyes and saw he was in a building surrounded by animals. There was a blanket laid upon him, and a couple pillows underneath. Remembering what happened the night before the wolf came to the conclusion that somepony had helped him. Moving he felt his wounds ache, his side and snout were bandaged, but his side hadn't finished healing enough to not tear the thin scab.
"Oh good Angel said you were awake," a yellow winged pony with a pink mane said stepping into view, a small white rabbit was at her feet pointing at the wolf. The wolf nodded his head carefully.
"My what a smart wolf you are," the pony said approaching, "I'm gonna check your wounds now is that okay?"
The wolf nodded and put his snout out for the pony to see. "I'm Fluttershy, I take care of animals do you have a name?" The wolf looked at her with a cocked eyebrow, an odd thing to see a wolf do then he waved his snout again.
"Oh I'm so sorry," Fluttershy said realizing the bandages kept his mouth shut. She carefully removed them, and was pleased to see the wound was already sealed up, "your snout isn't bleeding at least but it'll be sore."
The wolf woofed quietly. "Demon? What an interesting name," Fluttershy said with a fake smile. The wolf growled a little. "Oh that's just what ponies who wander into your forest call you, do you have something you want to be called?" she asked him, but he only shook his head, "Okay I'll call you Demon Wolf for now if that's okay."
A knock came to the cottage's door, "Fluttershy are you okay?" a voice called. The yellow pony opened the door, "Hello Twilight, I'm okay."
"Okay we were expecting you over at the library an hour ago, it's not like you to be late," the voice said carrying threw the cottage.
"Is it that late already?" Fluttershy asked looking at a clock, "I'm so sorry I woke late this morning and didn't get to finish my chores till a few minutes ago."
"It's okay shall we?" Twilight asked.
"Actually, I really need to stay in today," Fluttershy said, "normally I would but I have a patient that needs me to look after him." Wolf hear this and checked his wounds in the short time they had talked his wounds had sealed up taking an experimental stand the wolf felt the wounds ache a little but didn't tear. Walking carefully over to Fluttershy wolf whined at her.
"Now you shouldn't be moving around yet," Fluttershy said looking at wolf, "you'll be okay now and I should go see my friends?"
"Is this the patient?" Twilight asked, wolf looked at her realizing it was the purple horned winged pony from the day before. Wolf was a little nervous but held his ground telling Fluttershy he was fine.
"Yes he is I found him last night as he came out of the everfree forest, he was hurt and Zecora said poisoned," Fluttershy said petting the wolf who was as big as she was.
"Interesting why was Zecora over?" Twilight asked.
"She said the winds told her something strange was happening here," she answered.
"Interesting," Twilight said looking over the wolf, "he's interesting does he have a name?"
"He says ponies call him Demon," Fluttershy told her.
"Okay, Demon are you sure you're okay?" Twilight asked.
The wolf gave her the same raised eyebrow it had given Fluttershy earlier, and woofed.
"He says he is fine," Fluttershy said grabbing a set of saddlebags by her door, "Demon please rest and heal, Angel please watch the house."
Angel pushed the ponies out the door and closed it, while the wolf went back to it's pillows and laid down for a nap.



-Luncheons-
Twilight and Fluttershy arrived at the Library to find all of their other friends resting in the main area. 
“What took you so long Dear?” Rarity asked using her magic to fix the two arriving ponies’ manes.
“Fluttershy had a late night patient,” Twilight stated, “and interesting looking wolf.”
“Eh?” Rarity gasped fainting on to a randomly summoned fainting couch.
“Um darlin you sure keeping one of them timberwolves around is safe?” Applejack asked.
“Oh he’s not a timberwolf,” Fluttershy stated, “he’s one of the flesh and blood kind.”
“But it’s still dangerous right?” Rainbow Dash asked hovering as Twilight and Spike arranged the library.
“Oh no, when I checked on him this morning he was very polite,” Fluttershy explained.
“That is very interesting,” Twilight stated, “Now then everything is ready the Princess should be here in a moment.” She finished looking at her clock as it struck five minutes to noon.
*Knock Knock Knock*
“I got it,” Spike said running up and opening the door, “Princess please come in.”
“Thank you young spike,” Luna said walking into the library.
“Welcome Princess Luna,” the girls all called out in unison.
“Thank you all for the very warm welcome,” Luna stated.



-The Moon-
Later that evening the wolf woke to voices walking up to the cottage, he recognized the voice of Fluttershy but trembling more than usually, Twilight was there and a new voice with a restrained strength behind it.
"Are you sure I need to see this creature?" the voice asked.
"Princess I'm positive, this wolf doesn't act anything like Fluttershy says it should," Twilight said. 
The wolf watched the door open and reveal the ponies it knew and a black and purple horse with wing and a horn. The wolf trotted over and bowed to horse and ponies.
"Oh dear demon you shouldn't be moving yet your wounds," Fluttershy started before seeing that the nose wound was gone. The wolf whined. "You're all better now?" Fluttershy asked. The wolf barked. "He says he is healthy again and wishes to thank me before he left," Fluttershy said as she removed the bandages with Twilight's help.
"Does he truly say this, he is a truly smart wolf if it is so," the dark horse said. The wolf barked.
"He says not to talk like he isn't here, and it's true other than some pale scaring he's healed," Fluttershy said amazed.
"How bad was the wound?" Twilight asked.
"It was a deep gash, it should have taken him weeks to heal at least," Fluttershy said confused.
"Demon Wolf, Do you have a home?" the dark horse asked. The wolf whined.
"Oh sorry, Demon this is Princess Luna, she was having a luncheon with us earlier," Fluttershy said introducing them. The wolf bowed again and woofed.
"He says he lives in an abandoned castle after two ponies like you and twilight fought and left it," Fluttershy said, "wait the castle of the two sisters?"
"Surely you jest wolf, that was over 1000 years in the past," Luna said shocked. Wolf growled.
"Sorry Princess he doesn't like being called a liar," Fluttershy said, "he says he kinda remembers a white and black, horned and winged pair of horses fighting." 
"That does sound like you and Celestia, Princess," Twilight said, "also wolf we call ponies like Luna and I, alicorns."
"I concur Twilight Sparkle," Luna said nodding, "however I do believe my sister give that castle to you?"
"Yes she did," Twilight said, "I need to see about establishing a safe path to the castle for the workers to reach it. It's going to take a while before it's ready."
Wolf barked. "He says it's his castle," Fluttershy translated.
"I propose an alternative solution, Demon would you join us in Canterlot?" Luna asked. The wolf looked confused and woofed and barked.
"He doesn't understand what you're asking," Fluttershy said.
"A smart wolf such as Demon would be most welcome at the castle," Luna said, "I am asking the wolf to come live there, in part because I would like another friend in the castle and because it would clear the castle for you Twilight Sparkle."
Wolf thought it over, the forest was getting more dangerous and with the random spurts of memories he was getting living there was far more dangerous than it use to be. Finally he barked.
"Demon agrees, he said the forest is getting too dangerous even for him," Fluttershy translated, as wolf woofed, "and suggest that if the castle is to be fixed we should very careful, regular ponies won't survive out there."
"I thank you for your concern Demon," Twilight said nodding to the wolf.
"I am most pleased by your answer Demon," Luna said, "let us be leaving then, we must return to Canterlot before I must raise the moon."
Wolf gave her a confused look as he carefully followed her out with good byes to everyone, even licking the little bunny Angel, who glared at him.
Wolf road at the front of the chariot pulled by winged ponies, Luna had promised he wouldn't fall, but was still unsure of flying. Though once off the ground he for a moment remembered a similar feeling, as though he had flown long ago like this.
They arrived shortly in a large bustling city with ponies everywhere, as with the guards pulling the chariot, the guards at the castle said nothing as Luna and the wolf dismounted the chariot.
"It’s later than I had desired," Luna said looking at the clock tower, "We will have to introduce you after the raising. Demon would you be fine riding my back?"
The wolf nodded at her and climbed on as she knelt for him, "Our magic will keep you from falling."
Luna flew to the tallest tower in the castle where a white alicorn was waiting, wolf was shocked as he recognized the alicorn as the one from the castle all those years ago. The wolf tensed up remembering the fight leaving the dark alicorn vaporized.
"Be calm wolf this is my sister, Celestia, she is a kind pony," Luna said landing, "good evening Tia."
"Good evening Sister, I see you have a friend with you, is that why you were so much later than expected?" Celestia asked.
"Yes sister this is the wolf Demon, I will explain after we finish our duties tonight," Luna said visually relaxing with her sister.
"That is well enough," Celestia said as she began to glow with magic. Luna glowed at the same time, and then the sun fell quickly past the horizon, and the moon rose from behind it. The wolf was shocked these two alicorns had moved the sun and the moon. The wolf suddenly felt very nervous feeling that the two alicorns he stood with were powerful beyond understanding.
"Your friend seems a little unsettled by our display just now," Celestia said noticing the slight shivers in the wolf.
"It’s fine Demon, that was just our royal duties as alicorns," Luna said nuzzling the wolf, "now then Demon Wolf this is my elder sister, Celestia ruler of the day. Sister this is Demon Wolf, he was found by Fluttershy after it was wounded, she told us, that this wolf has been staying in the castle of two sisters, sense not long after my banishment."
"That's quite the claim," Celestia said looking at wolf, "how do you know this?"
"When I asked Demon of his home he said he had been living in a castle in the forest after white and black alicorns fought, then took offence when I thought him jesting," Luna said, wolf whined but seemed to know without Fluttershy to translate he wouldn't be understood.
"Well this is quite the development, so why is Demon with you?" Celestia asked.
"I have decided to take him in, seeing as his home is to be remodeled soon, and he seems to be a intelligent and wise wolf, a great friend for me in the castle, especially when everypony is asleep and wolfs tend to be nocturnal," Luna explained.
"Well a pet would be good for you," Celestia started, but was interrupted by a fierce bark from Demon.	
"Sister I did not ask him here as a pet but as a friend," Luna said nuzzling the agitated wolf, "I told you he is smart, and I do not think he takes well to being called a pet." The wolf rubbed Luna's leg affectionately.
"I apologize Demon," Celestia said, "You are welcome in the castle so long as you like."
The wolf barked happily bowing to the princess.  "Very well, Luna as your guest you're required to teach him proper etiquette for staying in the castle."  
"Yes sister, come Demon we will get you settled in," Luna said taking the wolf with her to a guest room in her tower. As they walked Luna explained many things to the wolf, such as not to eat other creatures, and that their was a place called the privy to do ones business. Marking territory wasn't necessary, and until the next canterlot royal decree ceremony he needed to stay in the castle grounds so as not to scare everypony. The wolf listened carefully taking in the new rules, that felt mostly familiar like a distant dream.
Luna left Wolf in a rather spacious room, telling him she had business to attend to and would return soon. Wolf yawned trying to let her know he was going to take a nap, as he curled up on the floor. "I will still see you soon Demon."



-Dreams -
Luna shifted to her dream form when she returned to her room, and scanned Equestria for anypony who was suffering and needed help with a nightmare that had been given form by a problem they needed to resolve. Seeing that things were clear for now in the peaceful kingdom of Equestria, Luna tracked down her new friend looking to surprise him with her powers. As Luna shifted into the wolf's dream she was treated to quite the surprise.
Instead of dreaming of the everfree forest and hunting like most of his kind did, the wolf was walking threw a city at night, similar to Manehatten, but darker and less inviting. There were many lights and chariots the like of which Luna had never seen or heard of. The covered chariots were larger than the ones used in Equestria, and had no visible points for a pony to pull from. Luna decided to watch the wolf from afar and see what would happen.
The wolf walked threw the streets with a strange sense of determination, no other ponies were around though the noise of civilization could be heard, and looking up Luna saw the stars and moon of this dream were blocked from view by a layer of light hitting a strange mist that made her feel queasy.
Eventually the wolf made it to a building that shone with white light, Luna could sense a great amount of Magic being held within what she figured was a house. Luna flew down seeing the wolf stop at the front door. "It was my home," the wolf said calmly.
"You speak well," Luna said shocked at the wolf's abilities "what happened to it."
"Don't sound so surprised this is a dream world," the wolf said, "I don't remember why I left this home it was so long ago. I do know this though, recently every time I come here I remember something new of my old life."
"Such as?" Luna asked.
"I remember I had a different form than this, I don't remember what it looked like, but I know it wasn't this form. I also had a family we lived here, it was tough, but fun. At least that is what I feel," the wolf said, "I've also come to understand this is a barrier I put up over my memories, I know not why."
"I see would you like me to release them?" Luna asked examining the barrier of light around the house.	
"I don't know, Princess I am afraid to be honest, I lived so long as just a wolf I don't know if I could handle knowing everything of my past. That and what good would it do me to remember, I can't speak pony I tried over the years to learn, all I can do is bark and growl," the wolf said shaking in fear, "I'm so afraid because I don't understand this it's not wolf like so I don't know how to deal with it."
"I see would you mind if I slipped in and looked at your past, maybe I can find a clue to help you understand better," Luna offered.
"You have my permission Princess though I don't know if mine is the permission you need," the wolf said.
"I will be back in a moment," Luna said phasing threw the door. On the other side Luna was treated to a surprise, a creature she had never seen before stood before her. It stood on it's hind feet like the dragon Spike, but it was tall 5 feet and 9 inches to be exact. The creature had pale pink skin, and wore black clothes, decorated with a red trim. The biggest shock to Luna thought was it's hair was the exact same style as Demon's covering his left eye, and his right eye a red as blood. 	
The creature smiled to Luna and spoke, "Greetings invader of dreams, I am Duncan Klysh, original mind of this body, might I ask who has the power to pierce this psychic shroud?"
Luna was shocked for a moment, "I am Princess Luna of Equestria, I mean no harm by entering here and would prefer not to be called an Invader."
"Well Princess Luna, I welcome you to my home, please come join me for some tea in the study," Duncan said indicating she should follow. The hallways were tight for the princess, but she made it through without incident. In the study she found it was filled wall to wall with books, all neat and organized, much like her sister's student's library. Luna took a seat on the ground by a small table, seeing that the chairs were not meant for a pony her size. Duncan poured some tea into two cups and offered it to Luna with a tray of sweeteners and cookies. Luna sipped her tea, and found it to be a blander tea than she prefered and added some honey to it.
"So seeing as you were talking with the wolf and passed my barrier with ease you must be powerful," Duncan stated drinking his tea straight.
"I am one of the strongest magic users in my land," Luna said sipping the much better tasting tea.
"I see, you must also have questions for me, please ask them," Duncan said calmly.
"Please explain both what you are and why you reside in Demon's mind," Luna asked.
"Ah that is both simple and hard to explain," Duncan said, "What I am is called a human, I come from a different universe. As to why I reside in the wolf's mind is because this is my mind and body. You see in my youth of only 65 years I found a way to travel between worlds. With this power I found eternal youth and power beyond what my homeland thought possible."
"Are all humans as long lived to call 65 years young?" Luna interjected.
"No actually at the time I felt quite old, but being over 21 centuries old makes 65 sound like I was a kid," Duncan explained, "humans tend to at best live till 100, usually less. Now as I was saying, when I was traveling the worlds in my way I came across an abnormality and was pulled into your world. Having arrived here I was forced into the shape of a wolf without the power to speak. The problem with my magic I admit is I require words to cast most of it, and could but woof and bark. Upon seeing, what I have gathered is a fight between you and the alicorn Celestia, I realized that the only power that could help me was one of you. However I knew not where Celestia resided, nor how to get her to help me. In addition from my perspective she vaporized you, which made me hesitate to try."
"We follow thy story," Luna said sipping her tea.
"Yes, well a problem with being trapped in an animal form with no speech or companionship, is it breaks down the mind over time, effectively killing the sentient personality. I used a skill from one of the worlds I visited to in essence trap myself in my own mind, thus preserving my existence, I also created a personality to manage my body while I was in here, which you call Demon," Duncan explained this generating small animated visuals for Luna to follow.
"And now that you have made contact with another pony?" Luna asked.
"I will beseech you to find a way to grant me speech, and in exchange I will offer my services to your crown until you dismiss me from your service," Duncan told her.
"What becomes of the wolf personality?" Luna asked.
"I will retake into my mind his existence, he will no longer be a mind independent of me," Duncan said flatly.
"What will you do if I refuse to help you?" Luna asked.
"Not much I can do," Duncan said, "I will leave the wolf's mind alone and reside here until either the wolf dies or I gain another chance to convince someone to return my speech."
"We will consult with our sister and the wolf, ye shall have our answer tomorrow night," Luna said setting her dream tea down.
"I can ask for nothing more," Duncan said guiding her to the front door. After pleasant parting words Luna walked threw the door just as when she had come in.
"What was in there?" the wolf asked as Luna came out.
"Your past self it seems," Luna told him, "a polite enough person but he seems a little aloof."
"Is that bad?" the wolf asked.
"It just means he gives off the presence of thinking he is better than others," Luna explained, "though based on his story I could see why, his age is greater than mine own."
"That's old, so did he say why he sealed the memories?" the wolf asked.
"He told me that he was trapped in the body you both now inhibit, and was in danger of losing himself so he sealed himself away until he could get help, making you in the process to protect the body," Luna explained.
"So what's going to happen to me now?" the wolf asked.
"That depends mine sister and I must discuss it," Luna said, "I am happy to have you as you are, however I would feel bad leaving anypony trapped as your past self is."
The rest of the evening Luna kept vigilance over the night and met with her sister as she woke for the raising of the sun. The wolf with her, Luna and Celestia went to Celestia's room after the sun was raised and Luna explained what she had seen and heard the night before. Explaining her following of the wolf in the city, here meeting with the persona Duncan, and her conversation with the wolf.
"I see so this Duncan is the actual mind of the wolf then?" Celestia asked in confirmation, "and he created this wolf persona to protect himself from the isolation and passing of time."
"As I understand it," Luna replied, "he asks that we restore his speech in exchange he offers his service to us." 
"What does the wolf think of this?" Celestia asked. The wolf gave Celestia a confused look.
"When I asked him he was confused, and scared. Demon hath spent the last thousand years acting and thinking he was just a wolf. It seems that he doesn't really understand what would happen if Duncan is released," Luna explained.
"Do you know what would happen to Demon?" Celestia asked.
"Duncan told me he would take in Demon's persona and Demon would lose his independent existence," Luna explained looking at wolf, who had a downcast look on his face.
"I see, though it pains me to leave a soul trapped as it where," Celestia stated, "I believe it is up to Demon if he wants to free his prior self."
"I agree," Luna said looking at the wolf, "tonight we shall speak."
"Good, in the case we want to give him back his speech I will have Twilight find a spell and prepare it," Celestia said, "Now then I have court to attend you are free to come with me."
"Thank you sister," Luna said rising, "I would actually like to take wolf out for a walk, so I can let the guards know his status and to let him wander the castle."
"That's fine," Celestia said leaving with Luna, "I will see you tonight then."
"Yes sister," Luna agreed and turned down the hall.
The day passed slow for the wolf, he met the guards and was shown where he could go in the castle and where he couldn't. The Wolf chased some of the wild life in the royal garden for some fun though he knew he'd get in trouble for eating one.
The wolf was taken to the kitchen around noon with Luna to find out what he'd eat, which was more than Luna thought for a wolf. Wolf had eaten eggs, toast, and some of the salad though he wouldn't go near the flowers or hey.
One of the guards offered to take him out to play when Luna asked them to watch him some while she took a nap. The wolf enjoyed the game of fetch very much though, he wondered why the ponies kept throwing the stick and making him get it.
That night the wolf went to sleep right after Luna raised the moon, and waited by the house of light. Luna met with the wolf a few moments after he had arrived at the house.
"Good Evening Demon," Luna said landing.
"Hello Princess," the wolf greeted back.
"So what is your answer?" Luna asked referring to releasing Duncan.
"I don't know," the wolf answered, "I just found out that I'm not a real wolf but some immortal creature trapped in a wolf body. All my life of being a wolf was just some elaborate ploy to keep him alive, to be honest I don't know what to do. I am just a wolf construct."
Luna listened to the wolf rant and smiled, "Demon you are more than a construct, your birth is irrelevant to who you are. You have become your own existence, so you should think long and hard on what you want to do. If you want to live as you are no pony will complain."
"I can just live as a wolf?" the wolf asked.
"Yes you can  do as you like, you can return to the forest or stay here at the castle, or go anywhere," Luna said.
"I need to think," the wolf said walking away. Luna nodded and walked threw the protection of the house. 
"A good evening Princess Luna," Duncan said waiting in the hallway for her.
"Good evening Duncan," Luna replied.
"Shall we retire to the study or will your answer be short?" Duncan asked.
"My sister has our best magic user working on preparing a spell for you incase we decide to release you, however the ultimate choice has been left with Demon to choose," Luna explained.
"Fair enough, he is the one getting the short end of the stick if I get free, well unless you have other things to discuss I believe you need to attend to the other ponies of the land," Duncan said face passive and unreadable.
"Yes I bid you good night we will speak in the future I am sure," Luna said and left. Luna left the dream of the wolf after walking out the door and went about her nightly duties.
