Authors notes: As I said at the footnote of the last chapter, I am now calling the energy of the breach "void" energy, as that somehow gives me a more ominous feeling, also, when one of midnights "modes" is communicating with the other I'll be using different things to mark who is speaking, rather than calling one "the voice," for the one in control of the body, I will simply be using quotations, like in all of his conversations, the one with no control over the body will now use a different symbol, like this: \why would you even do this?/ that's how it's going to basically look, also, all speech in quotation marks that is not assigned to any character belongs to whichever of midnights forms is in control of his body, when he is talking to his other form, that way I don't have to say who he is talking to all the time. Well, on with the chapter

Chapter 3:

When midnight awoke, the first thing he noticed was that his hooves were bound, and that he was lying in a pool of sweat, in the cave. There was a Red pony, wearing the cloak which he saw before, standing over him, her eyes were blue, her coat was crimson, and her mane was bright red, with a single white stripe, and was shaped to be sticking out to her right side, sort of in a spike shape. The cloak covered everything else. "Who are you, and why were you stealing my things?" The mare asked, with a combination of curiosity and anger in her voice.

All I could respond with was saying with a raspy voice "Midnight fury, unicorn of Evisica" Her eyes widened at the mention of the island, and backed away, I noticed it get a bit less warm as she moved away, I tried to drink some of the sweat I was lying in, so as to keep from becoming dehydrated, upon noticing this, she quickly grabbed the jug of water out of the bag I had packed, and poured some into my mouth.

"Thank you," I said, my voice returning, "Now would you mind telling me why I'm tied up?"

"I'll be the one asking questions here, not you," she said, impatience in her tone now, "why were you stealing my things?"

"Because I'm trying to find somewhere far from Evisica, where the void energy can't reach me, and for this I need to travel. Traveling requires supplies, so I was going to just take a small amount, not enough to harm anyone." I said, the heat was forcing the truth out of me like it was sweat, but I decided it would be a bad idea to mention this, all things considered.

"What is void energy? And why are you trying to get away from it?" The cloaked pony asked.

"For you first question, void energy comes from the breach, it mutates any living thing it touches, every night, until dawn. As for why I want to escape it, just put me outside during the night, and you will see."

The cloaked mare considered this, and said "ok, but do one thing that leads me to believe you're trying to escape, and I will kill you"

"Sounds like a fair deal," I responded, "just one question, how am I going to get outside?"

The mare sighed, and picked me up by the rope, I noticed that her hoof caused the rope to begin to sear, and realized the source of the heat was her. Once we were outside again, the sun was almost done setting, and my transformation was starting, while I transformed, I said "I won't exactly be… myself once I've changed, just thought I should tell you." The mare nodded, and I let the darkness take hold of my mind, pushing me to the back.

When Midnight's night form awoke, he assumed that his day form had tied him up again, and sighed, saying, "Not again midnight, I thought we had an agreement you would stop tying me up."

\It wasn't me this time/

"Then who was it?"

\Look up and you will see./

"What do you mean?" as midnight said this, he looked up, and saw the mysterious pony mentioned all throughout this chapter, and said, "Oh, you're the one who tied me up, thought it was my day form again, mind if I take them off?"

"N-no, not at all," said the mare, who seemed to be both frightened and intrigued, watched as his horn glowed white, and the rope disintegrated

\how did you convince her of that? She threatened to kill me if I took those off!/

"Perhaps she is just in shock, did that not occur to you?"

\Oh…/

"Um…" the mare asked, "who are you talking to?"

"well, that's kind of hard to explain," Midnight said, "I guess the easiest way to explain it would be that I'm conversing with the one who you just talked to, however, in another way, I'm just talking to myself, a completely different side of myself, just think of me as midnights 'night form.' Anyway, what is your name?"

"My name is Fire Storm," the Pegasus said.

"Well Storm, would you mind telling me exactly where I am?" Midnight asked curiously.

"Well, right now we are currently 200 miles north of the country of Ti, and there is about twice that much in-between here and the nearest gate-stone of Heliopolis."

"And is there a way to quickly get from Ti or Heliopolis, to say, Cervidas?" inquired Midnight.

"There is a way to get there, it's not exactly a direct path, but why would you want to go to the land of the Ents anyway?" Fire Storm asked, intrigued by Midnights question.

"Well," Midnight said, "I want to get as far from Evisica as I possibly can, some place where I will be exposed to as little void energy as possible."

"Why not stop somewhere you would fit in a little better?" Asked Fire Storm.

"Like where? Prance?" Asked Midnight, "No thanks, been there a long time ago, hated it."

"No, I meant Equestria." Said Fire Storm

"Oh, well that's not a bad idea, it's full of ponies that are different from the rest, I've heard. Why not?" Midnight exclaimed, starting to cheer up a bit at the idea of fitting in.

"Well, I could show you a way there from Ti, if you don't mind the heat," Fire Storm said.

"I've lived through it this long, and it seems it will just make me need a bit more water than before, or I could just cast a 3 day cooling spell on myself, so the heat wouldn't be a problem ,I would love for you to help me."

\Oh what joy! The psycho who tied me up is joining us!/

"Shut up"

"Excuse me?" Said Fire Storm, with a slightly angry look on her face.

"Not you," Midnight explained, "my form whom you tied up."

"Ah, he can hear what we are saying, can he?" She asked.

"Yes, as a matter of fact, he can." Midnight said, "So how would we get there? Oh, and before I forget to tell you, I only have control of this body at night."

"Interesting. Anyway, the way is simple, first we have to head to Ti's port, there should be a boat going to Equestria we could board, that is, if we aren't noticed." Fire Storm said, "Or at least a boat to Hoovesgorod, which is a few dozen miles outside Equestria. From there we could just follow the river east and we will arrive in Equestria. Then we would have to get to Canterlot, and get you a citizenship. Then we could-"

"I already have Equestrian citizenship, I've had it from birth." said Midnight.

"Oh, well that makes it a bit easier, do you have any proof of citizenship?" Asked Fire Storm.

"Yes, I do, why?" Inquired Midnight.

"Well, it's quite simple, we get you deported from here to Equestria, it's free, and mostly legal, but it would be about a week's journey." said Storm.

"I suddenly don't like where this is going, but if it will get me away from here, I will do it," said Midnight.

I own nothing but my OC's. Everything in this chapter that is not one of my OC's, even the country names, are property of Hasbro. For a copy of the map I'm using, go to: WTWEFIC.TUMBLR.COM (don't copy and paste it, just type it in) i forgot what its called, but on it says in large letters "the known world," and has all the countries and islands I've mentioned thus far. Also this is my longest chapter :D
