"What are you doing here!" He yelled at her. "My- My sister thought you were hiding something." She stuttered out. "This is my private business! There are still things I haven't told you, and I'm guessing your doing the same to me! Is it wrong to keep secrets!" He yelled. "No, we just needed to know-" She said before she was cut off. "Know what! Their called secrets for a reason!" He said calming down. She sighed and said "Your right, we should be more considerate of others." Behind them they heard a thud and turned to look. "Thomas!" Murticuto yelled running over and picking up the body of his assistant. "It- Its been so long, are you okay?!" "Remind me, never to do that again." He said weakly as Murticuto laughed. "Who is this?" Luna asked. Walking over to the two. "This is my son." Murticuto said plainly. Thomas started to stand up. "I thought you said you had no children." Luna said. "He's not, not my biological son anyway. He was the soul survivor of his kind. His entire species was wiped out by a vicious warlord called Vur Lano. Drained of their raw magical power." He told her. "But he looks just like you." Luna said. "Yes, but there is a distinct difference in his ears, they are pointy, mine aren't." He said showing her his ears. "Who is this Murticuto?" Thomas asked. "This is Princess Luna. Princess of Night. Regent of the moon. The point is she has many names." He said helping him onto his feet. "Where am I?" He asked. "You are in my mind." Murticuto said. "Luna I will speak to you tomorrow at the party. I have some catching up to to." "I will leave immediately so you can see to it." Luna said as she booped out of the dream. Murticuto woke up and found his assistant lying on the ground next to the bed. "It's good to be home." Thomas said standing up and getting in one of the chairs. "Were not exactly home." He told him. "What do you mean?" He asked. He laughed and said. "Its a long story." -------Seven Hours Later------ "Murticuto, the par-" Twilight said walking in seeing Thomas sitting in the chair. "You must be Twilight." Thomas said walking over to her and shaking her hoof. "Who is this?" Twilight asked returning the shake. "This is my apprentice, Thomas Ward." He told her as he stood up. "Well take your apprentice and hurry, or you'll miss the party." Twilight said walking out as Murticuto and Thomas followed. Thomas looked astounded walking through the endless corridors of the crystal castle. "You like what you see?" Twilight asked walking in front of him. "Yea, it's the most colorful thing I've ever seen." He said spinning to look at all of it at once. Twilight laughed a little. "You haven't even seen the outside yet." They walked out into the main corridor and a little dragon walked up. "I packed everything we need Twilight, who's this?" He asked looking at Thomas. "This is Murticutos apprentice." She said walking out the main door into the outside world. Thomas almost passed put at the sight of all of the colors blending into the world called Equestria, all the perfectly placed landmarks. The undeniable feel of happiness radiating off of everything. They started to walk toward the train station. After about fifteen minutes of walking they made it. "Ahh, I do hate these infernal contraptions." Murticuto said as they started to walk onto the train car. "Why, what do they do?" Thomas asked. "Just wait and see." Murticuto told him as they walked in. "ALL ABOARD!" The conductor yelled as the train started to move. -------15 Minutes Later-------- Thomas had his head out the window, throwing up. "He doesn't like trains either?" Rainbow asked as he pulled his head back in. "What is this demon spawn!?" Thomas asked frantically. "This torture device doesn't deserve to be in this plane of existence!" "Guess riding a train is an, acquired trait." Rarity said as she walked over to Thomas and put a hoof over his shoulder for comfort. "I still don't like it, but its better after the first time." Murticuto said as they hit a bump causing Thomas to stick his head out the window and start to throw up again. "Its ok Thomas we'll be there in a minute." Twilight said. "Twilight!" Spike ran into the train car. "The conductor said there is going to be a little delay." "What do you mean?" Murticuto asked. "There are sheep on the track." He said sitting in the seat. "Oh, is that so. I think I will take a quick nap, wake me up when the train arrives." Murticuto said lying back and putting his wizard hat over his face he sat his staff down and drifted to sleep. -------------------------------- "Murticuto!" A feminine voice yelled into the piercing void. "What, can't you see I'm trying to sleep." Murticuto said laying on a bed in his head. "You have freed me from that disgrace Daburas evil clutches!" She yelled. "So what, you can't do anything about it stuck in here!" He yelled still laying down. "But I won't be for long!" She yelled again causing Murticuto to stand up. "What do you mean?" Murticuto asked. "Do you know where all of Daburas power went?" She answered with a question. "I absorbed it." He told her. "No, I did!" She yelled causing the entire void to shake. "You couldn't have, I feel it inside me!" He yelled back. "That's because I am inside of you, ignorant." She said swirling around him. "Sweet dreams Murticuto, soon there will be none left." -------------------------------- "Ahh!" Murticuto woke up screaming. "Are you okay?" Pinkie asked. "Just a bad dream." He told her. But he knew what it meant, it was much, much more than a bad dream.
