All the other ponies, dragon and my friends leave me and Dave alone for talking. ``So what do you want to know?``

``Some basics things about the kira branch, like if no one is ageing how do a baby ever grow up?``

``Oh! That very simple you see all living thing age naturally until they reach maturity after that the only way to change our age is to throw a paper of some sort with the age you want to be. But you can’t be more old that you’re soul.``

``What do you mean?```

``Ok I give you an example if you throw a paper on the fire and you write your name with the number eight on it you will become a child but if you try and write 25 you will not change of age because your soul didn’t reach that maturity yet.``

``Ok I understand I think.`` I scatch my head with a hoof this made no sense at all, since when can we chose our age? This seem way too good to be true.

``Ok I want to know if everybody come back to life after they die how do they deal with overpopulation problem?`` This a good question ifhumans didn’t die on Earth, the world would have end a lot sooner from the lack of food and place.

``Again this is very simple the elder always created new worlds and all the sentient beings can freely go in others worlds. Some people unfortunately get kill by soul catchers users and some decide to go to a Gaia world where they can forget everything and begin a new. And for the animals and plant each 20 years all the representant of the council like me go take some animals and plants and relocate them in a new world with more place for them. It’s not easy but that one of the thing we’re pay for.``

``Ok I also have some question about this Equis.`` I said eagerly.

``Ok shout`` He said with a sigh, he was begining tired of all these questions I could tell

``Why aren’t there more humans here? This world is very popular where I come from.`` It’s true when I was free to go in Equestria I trhough it would be overpopulated with bronies.

``There two explanations for this, the first is that some former-humans like you came here and tried to be friend whit the elements, but they are always on crazy adventures and some of them simply give up to follow them.`` Yeah I guess they go in crazy things sometime any sane humans would give up. Fortunately I’m not the most sanest of humans.

``The other reason is that this world is not the only one base on Equestria a lot of alternate-universe exist out there, some world have a single human, others have thousand of them.`` Woah I’m not sure I would like to have thousand of humans here. I mean I have nothing agasin’t human I was one myself, but they are not the most peaceful of race. And a lot of them are just trolls.

``Ok so why are you still humans if me and Mark are ponies?`` Good question, I throught to myself they said everyone had to be a race of this world yet I saw two humans just this week.

``That because you choose to be a inhabitant of this world, this is your new home-world and you must be one of the race who live here if you want to be one with the magic and the inhabitants if you want it to be your real home, this is not my world I’m just here for vacation like I said.``

``Why do we need to be connected to the magic what so important about it?``

``Every single world have magic even Earth, even if the magic became extremely low these last centuries. Living in a world where your soul is not conected to the mana is like living with one lung instead of two. You will survive, but you will never be to your full healt and can be dangerous if you’re not carefull.`` I didn’t know magic was that important, look like we learn everyday.

``Ok make sense I guess, I wondered if you died three hundred years ago how do you know this place?``

`` I didn’t die three hundred years ago I was born into the Kira branch. In one of my missions I save a pony, name was Stars Swirls, or something he was traveling to learn a new magic and finish his last master piece I don’t think he succeed. He talk about is home land, and to me it was sounding like a true second Oasis. So I decided to take vacation here`` Star swirls the beard he is alive again? So this not ageing thing is true, wait what did he mean by second Oasis? Meh doesn’t matter.

``Last thing why is there some peoples who tries to capture souls? This sound a little creepy and useless.``

``For two reason like you probably know when a soul is drained of it’s energy it lost all memory and personality, it takes dozens of year for a soul to be able to reborn after that, but when the soul reborn he will never be the same. He will have new personality and no memory basically you die and you are reincarnate.``

``Reason two, the energy of a soul is like the magic of a unicorn, you can control it with your desires except a soul is way more powerful due to it being the essence of life. There six types of soul they are classes in alphabet. A to F.

The most weak souls the plants and insects is class F, the animals are class E, the normal sentient beings like me are class D, the magical creatures who use their magic willingly or instincly are class C, the angels and demigods are class B, and finally the most powerful ones the gods and goddesses class A. There also class S, but only four knowed person have this class, the elder gods.``

``Wait a minutes, I was a normal sentient being before and now I’m a Pegasus does that mean my soul is different?``

``Yes the angels have take you to the conversion chamber before you become a pony right?`` I nod, he continue to talk.

``They made evolve your soul to fit your body and the magic of this world. A soul more weak that the body is not able to handle it and after a while the body will shut down completely and die.`` Woah yeah that a grim through.

``Anyway back to the story, a long time ago it was the guardians who created the soul catchers it was suppose to be used for good in the time. The guardian where teaching to the mortals how to control their own souls to used when in need agaisn’t evil.``

``Isn’t dangerous to use your own soul as a power source?`` I ask a little concerned.

``Yes but only if you are irresponsible, the energy of the soul always come back. Its only when you drain too much of your own energy that you can make irreversible damages. Anyway the mortals where using their own sparks energy in the time the soul catchers was called soul containers. But some person discover that if you kill someone you can take the soul inside and use the energy against their will.`` His expression quickly became grim at that.

``After that the gods destroyed all the soul containers they could and stop to teach how to use the soul energy, but it was too late the mortals arleady knew how to make copies of the original soul containers. Almost all mortal have forgotten today how to use their own spark, but unfortunately the soul containers or soul catchers like they call them since that day, are still produces by some criminals we try to stop them at the best we can, but there always other people who want power.``

``Wow this explain a lot Thank you for answering my questions.`` I said a little shakily at all the information, this world seem more dnagerous than it seem now, I hope I will not meet one of these criminals in the future.

``No problem.`` He said with a smile, after I said my goodbye to Dave, I walk away of the library, I think I just need to relax and digest all the new information I receive.

I arrived at Fluterhsy’s cottage and saw her flying around feeding some birds and squirrels she was humming the show theme song. She was so adorable and at the same time she was beautiful she look like a motherly figure with all her childrens. ``Hello Fluttershy`` I said calmly I feel a little bad to interupt this moment but I didn’t want to lose all my day and look at her like a stalker.

``Eep!`` she fell on her back and wait... Is that the sound of a fainting goat?

``Sorry! Are you ok?`` I said a little worry that I scare the best pony.

``Oh yes, I’m ok I’m always scare easily anyways, so Dream, why have come here?`` She said with a small smile, I couldn’t help but blush as her beautiful sky blue eyes was fixed on me. Keep it together! You didn’t come here for that your lucky if you even become her friend, I said to myself.

``Ah, I almost forgotted, I know you don’t know me really well and you don’t owe me anything but could you help me to learn how to fly?`` I said with a awkward smile.

``Oh my, I don’t know Peace Dreamer, I’m not the best at flight, wouldn’t Rainbow Dash be better for that?`` Of course she wouldn’t have confidence in her abilities, I shook my head.

``Do you seriously can imagine this Pegasus to be patient with me while I learn the basics? Beside Twilight said that you have help a lot of birds to fly. I know I’m not a bird but it’s can’t be that different right?``

``Ok, I guess I can try…`` She said awkwardly hiding behind her mane. That what happen when two antisocial ponies try to communicate. But I guess I was able to convice her to teach me to fly I hope I won’t regret it.

Brew was reading a few book on the history of Equestria, she had no very good knowledge of the country excepted that it was the country of love and harmony but every pony know that.``It’s rare that somepony study here most, ponies who come here only want some fiction books.`` Twilight said happily.

``Yeah I always was studying in Zebrica, even if I was not really interested to follow the traditions, but it’s useful to know how to make potions.``

``So how was it life in Griffonya?`` Twilight ask eagerly wanting to know the culture of another country.

``I hate it, the only reason I was continuing to be a guard here is because I was telling myself that they needed me. But when I dreamed to be a guard I wanted to protect for peace and liberty but how can you protect that when half of the inhabitant have lust for blood?`` She said bitterly recalling the griffins that always where hunting for everything that dared enter their territory.

``This sound terrible.`` The puprle unicorn said as her ears laid back on her head.

``Yeah I was going to be fired of the guards too, I was apparently too soft on the criminals, that when Dream and his gang came in town.``

``He have something strange about him, like I can trust him, a little like I trusted Applejack just a few hours after I met her.`` Said Twilight recalling the night she almost fell of that cliff.

``Yes he not the most strong or the most smart pony I know, but he help every pony he see like he can even if his way is to rush before thinking.`` Brew snickered a little at my expence. `` Also there something about him that say, we will get in deep trouble if we follow him but everything will be alright in the end.``

``Do you love him?`` If Brew had a drink she would have spit it because she couldn’t contian her laughter.

``Ahahahahahah! Love him?! We’re just friends, and I don’t even like stallions.`` After she realise what she said she place a hoof on her mouth.

``You are a… Filly-fooler?``

``Please don’t call me that I preffer the term lesbian`` She said wincing. ``And could you not tell anypony? I’m not sure I’m ready to go out of the closes just yet... Not after Zebrica.``

``Cross my heart hope to fly put a cupcake in my eyes.`` Brew look at her like she was crazy and Twilight sigh and roll her eyes. ``It’s a Pinkie promise everypony in ponyville know it, no one break these promise.`` Brew slowly nod, in the corner of her eyes, she saw a pink blur zipping in the streets, but through it was just her fatigue playing trick on her mind.

``Anyway I should go, I will have to find a new job to do tomorrow.`` She said and began to trot out of the library, Twilight wave her goodbye.

``That it flap your wing you are almost there!`` The butter yellow Pegasus said encouragely in her soft voice. We had been practicing for two hours straight and now my final goal was to reach a cloud who was two hundred metre from the ground. I was almost already there three flaps and I would touch the cloud. With three final flaps of my feathery apendages I fell on the cloud panting and sweating.

``You rock woohoo!`` If was not too tired I would probably d’aww at this. But now I just wanted to stay here and close my eyes. I glide slowly to the ground when I land I thanks Fluttershy for her help, I was about to go home but I didn’t realise how drained of energy I was and I fell on the ground asleep snoring loudly.

``Oh my, I can’t simply let you sleep her tonight, I should get you inside its almost dark.`` She whistle loudly and all sort of animals came running around her. She ask her animals friends help to transport me into her bed I would have refuse to take her bed If I was awake but It’s kinda hard to argue when you’re inconsious.
