School is a place where mistakes, and achievements happen. Boys fall in love with girls, and girls fall in love with boys. Nerds hang with other nerds, and the jocks bully the nerds. Musicians practice their music in class, and artists draw on their desks. The cool kids get detention for smoking marijuana, and the rich kids wear their $2,000 cut diamond earrings that they got for Christmas. Furries hung with furries, and talked about cosplaying for the last day of school or when they graduate. Pyros lit matches setting to culinary class's garden on fire. For humans high school was a place full of "wonders". Most of those are how the hell they're still in school, or how the hell half the girls are pregnant after football games, after making sure they wore their condoms.

In the state of California one school had all of this. The classes were split into four periods, with two lunches. After second period, the first lunch kids would run out of their classes, hoping to get the first pizzas. The pizzas that were fresh, warm, and greasy. The students that didn't make it in time mooched off of others, and hung with their friends. Second lunch, which happened after third was much worse with the problems that first lunch had.

Sitting on a stone slab that was next to a stair case, a student by the name of Luke waited for his friends to join him, since he was normally the first one out of his group to be there. He had a few friends three were boys, and one was a girl. Her name was Isebelle, but he called her Jane. She didn't like her name, so she went by that, and even the teachers called her that.

Today was going to be different for Luke, because he was planning on asking Jane out. She was slightly shorter then Luke was, and had blond hair with blue eyes. She loved anime, and a show about a mad man with a blue box that goes on adventures with hot women. She always had a smile on her face, and was always ready to have some good fun. That's what he liked about her. Not to mention she was also smart, and worked hard in school. They met when Luke transferred to the school at the beginning of the school year, and had been great friends sense then. Slowly he started to fall for her, after having dreams about her. Though he was different, and his friends knew this.

Luke wasn't a normal person persay. Instead he was a witch, and to add to that he had two souls. Doctors said it was just mild multipersonality disorder. When Luke was calm he had bright blue eyes, and had red tips in his hair. However when he was mad, or stressed out, his eyes would be black as coal with his hair hair having a darker tint making the red tips look like blood stains. So when he had his violin, he played it to calm down quickly so that his other, which he named Kert, would go away, or sleep.

All of his friends knew that he was a witch, and kept it a secret well. Though they often asked him to end the school day early by setting of the fire alarm which in turn made the sprinklers inside of the school go off. Some times they even asked him to heal a cut, or mend a broken heart by playing his hypnotic melodies. With his powers he tried a few times to get Jane alone with him. He liked her that much, to use his magic for self gain.

When he unplugged his headphones from his Kindle, Luke saw Jane standing infront of him, smiling lime always.

"Hey!" Luke said, as he locked his device, and zipped it away nicely in his book bag. He stood up, and gave Jane a friendly hug. "How was Art?" He asked.

Jane shrugged. "I got my naked lady done today, so I guess it was good." She responded. "How was World History?"

"Learned more about democracy," Luke said. "So it was boring."

Jane settled his book bag next to Luke's, and  said, "Have you seen any of the others?"

"They wanted me to make them sick while drug testing is going on." He admitted. "So it's just us today."

Jane sat next to Luke, and pulled out her lunch. Then she handed an apple to him. Luke nodded, and grabbed the Apple.

"What do you want it to be this time?" Luke chuckled. "Another banana?"

"No, not this time." Jane said. "Can you make it golden? Like those apples from Minecraft?"

Luke started to laugh as hard as his lungs would let the air escape from them. He wiped a tear away from his eye, and took a deep breath in. Slowly the apple started to turn gold from his hand up to the stem. He took a bite after it was finnished, and hummed in joy of the taste.

"This is good!" He said holding the apple over to Jane. "Bite?"

Jane shook her head. "No thanks, you need to eat anyways."

He nodded, and the apple turned red again, leaving Jane with a smile.

"So, I never asked you this, but what's it like? You know, being a witch?" Jane asked.

"It's not always fun and games. Sometimes we are chosen to protect other witches, other times we mix herbs to help heal the sick." He said. "We've also got a code. It's called the Three. Every time we cast a spell, good or bad, we need to think about it. If we cast a spell we get three times what we did to us. So say I kill someone I hate, well in this case I could have a family member that I love die. It's always different on what happens." He explained as he took a few more bites of his apple.

"I see, so what you do something good, will you get something good in return?"

Luke nodded as he chewed. He swallowed, and looked at Jane right in her eyes.

"Can I tell you something?" He asked.

"Shoot!"

"Bang!" He chuckled. "In my family, male witches are born to protect mortals. Not the best job in the world, but at least we can choose only one to protect."

"Who would you choose?"

"I don't know, but will you go-" He was stopped by the bell ringing, ending first lunch. He sighed. "To class, and have a nice day. See you tomorrow." He picked up his book bag, and his violin then walked off to finish school.

When he got home, he locked his car, and slammed his front door. "Dammit!" He shouted. He was mad because he had failed again in asking Jane out. In fact this was his tenth try.

His mother walked into the room with a frown on her face, and held a rope in her hands, ready to tie up her son to a chair. He got close to him, but stopped when she saw his eyes start to darken.

"Calm down Luke, you don't want another episode again do you?" She asked, worry in her voice.

Luke shook his head, and his eyes went back to their normal bright blue color.

"No..." He sighed heavely. "Why did I haft to fall in love for a mortal ma?" He asked.

His mother gave him a light hug then held his chin. "Because, you know why."

"Why me then?" He asked. "I know I did something bad in my past life, but why is it fucking me up this time?"

"You did what you did for what you thought was Just, and killing your brother and sisters wasn't a way to react." She said. "Now, go wash your body, we've got visitors from a far land joining us for dinner."

"Do I wear my robe?" Luke asked.

"You can if you want to." She answered. "Hurry now! They'll be here in a hour."

Luke nodded, and walked to his room to set his things down. He unfolded his robe that he had in his past life. It was made of fire proof fabrics, and enchanted to allow him to cast fire based spells. In his past life he was the Lord of fire, and his brother and sisters were Lord's of the rest of the elements. Water, earth, and air.

He took a shower, and felt the scolding hot water to touch his skin. He grabbed his shampoo, and rubbed it into his hair.

"I wish I could know why I'm here." He asked himself. He finished, and threw his robe on.

As soon as he stepped out of the bathroom, he felt power that made him sick. He nearly really, but a tall pale women stopped him from falling. She held out her hand keeping his body from falling farther. She gave a smile.

"Good job Luna," a darker woman said with a smile. She walked over, and helped Luke back on his feet. "Most pass out when they feel out power. A admire your strength Phoenix the Dragonhearted."

Luke jumped back and held a ball of fire in his hand.

"Mom!" He shouted.

"Do not worry, we are the people you were expecting. I am Celestia, bringer of the sun. This is my younger sister Luna, bringer of the moon, and the stars." She greeted. "Your mother is out right now, and will be back later."

"Sister, get on with it." Luna said.

"Right, so your mother has told us much about you, and your um....problem." Celestia said. "We've been sent here by her request to help you."

"What do you mean?"

"Phoenix, your body supports two souls, which has never happened in over six thousand years. You are very special, and very powerful. So as the leaders of your family's circle, we have come to train you."

"To help control your other, and help grow your magical powers." Luna finished. "So we've already pulled you from your current school, and enrolled you in our school that we've created."

"Does my mother know?"

"Yes, in fact she asked us to. Now, lets eat, and before you know it, you'll been in a whole new world!" Celestia said, clapping her hands together.

The fire ball dissipated from his hands, and a look of confusion grew on Luke s face. Then he remembered his mom had prepared dinner for them. Though, he didn't know why she wasn't there. Surely she wanted to see him off, he was her only child, and was a bit old to have children. Luke was nine teen, and was getting ready to graduate high school.

That's when it hit him. He was leaving everything behind. His mom, his friends, and that included Jane. He didn't know if he wanted to go at all, and he didn't even have time to think on this. Luke's mom  said that visitors would be joining us for dinner. She didn't say anything about moving from home to go to another school.

He grabbed his plate, slightly shaking, worried for what was to come. Luna  hand on his arm, and said,

"Thou musnt worry Lord Phoenix. We have orders from your mother to protect y-"

"I don't need to be protected!" Luke shouted. He could feel the change start, but it stopped because of his robe. It protected him from any switch.

Celestia picked up her fork, and placed a clump of salad into her mouth. She chewed for a moment, then swallowed.

"We understand your arrogance is what is your weakness, and is why your mother asked us to protect you." Celestia said, taking another bite.

Luke moved his plate over to the table, and sat in his spot he normally sat at. He cut a peace of his stake, and before he could take a bite Celestia grabbed his hand.

"First rule of the school, you may not eat meat while you're there. On or off campus." She said sternly.

Luke put down his fork, and sighed. "Anything else principal Celestia?" He asked, rolling his eyes.

"Quite a few actually, you will call me princess, and respect my sister as well as me." She ruled. "And you should get a few things backed. You can bring three items, because that's all I can do to cross the Vail to my world."

"Your world?" Luke asked. "String theory is right about there being-"

"Yes, now, get prepared!" Luna ordered. "Sister he's becoming a waste of time!"

"Luna watch your toung!" Celestia ordered, slamming her fist down onto the table, making the glasses of water shake. "He's not a waste of time! He's just confused, am I correct?" She asked Luke.

"Greatly," He answered her. "I just want to know where I'm going, and if I can ever return."

Luna looked angerly at her sister, and Celestia sighed. Slowly she stood up and walked over to Luke, who stood up as well. She rested her hand on his head, and said,

"Luke, I am going to be very honest to you. I am not sure if you'll grow strong enough to cross back to this world. See, it takes two to open the Vail to cross dimentions to other worlds. One to open, and-"

"One to connect the worlds." Luna finished. "We've used a great deal of power getting here, and we're going to use much more bringing you back with us, along with your chosen three items."

"My sister is right, we've used a great deal of power to get here, to find you."

"Why do you need me so badly that you did this?"

"Because your mother knew that we might be the only one's that can try to help you get used to your power."

"Go on sister, tell him why!"

"LUNA!" Celestia barked, scaring her sister to shut up. "When you turn twenty-one, at your current state, you're body will dicide weather it can withstand two souls in one body. If it sees that you don't have the magical strangth to, you're body will explode violently. The explosion itself could equal to four atomic bombs going off at once."

"So why are you endangering your people by bringing me there?"

"We have our full power in our kingdom, we would be able to contain the explosion until it ends. Although with strict magical training with the help of us, as well as my student Twilight we could keep this event from ever happening."

"S-sister..." Luna asked. "Can I tell him?"

"Tell me what?"

"If you do full agree to come with us, you will no matter what, you will get a 'pet' as it were." Celestia said.

"What kind of pet?" Luke asked, intreaged at the offer.

"Where we're from, you can get a dragon if you hold enough power."

Luke's eyes opened wide, as if they were baseballs after hearing that he could get a dragon. He started to move, but was stopped by Celestia once again.

"IF you have enough power. We'll wait until you've gotten used to our world, so about six months." She said again. "Now, go pack, we leave when your mother returns."

Luke couldn't help himself to hug Celestia tightly. She looked up at her sister, who only shrugged in responce. She smiled, and reutnred the hug, ending the embrace. Then Luke ran into his room packing.

"Livily one isn't he?" Celestia chuckled. "I guess it does make sense, he is like me after all."

"Fire burns with passion if I'm correct sister?"

Celestia nodded with a smile. "Passion...huh..."

Life in a library was an array of problems. Handing out books to those who wanted to read, and tracking down those who haven't returned their books. Twilight was no stranger in living in a library, and after becoming a princess, nothing else had really changed other than her new title as princess of magic.

Lately in Equestria, Twilight had been noticing that Celestia, and Luna haven't been around. Though, the sun and moon still glided slowly across the sky. She tried talking to the princess, but she hadn't been answering her letters she'd been sending for a little under two weeks. She had also noticed that she felt a surge of magic the day Celestia had stopped answering her letters. So, there was only one thing she could think that Celestia was up to, and that was on some flight to a neighboring kingdoms.

She picked up a book that was close by, and started to read it. Reading was what helped her calm down, aside from sitting on a cloud. The book was on fallen empires, and how they fell. Twilight sighed after hearing Spike walk thorugh the door, holding a scroll in his hand.

"It's from your brother!" He said. "Something about Celestia getting somepony important to help you with your studies."

Twilight gave a sigh of relief, and grabbed ahold of the scroll with her magic. She read it aloud.

"Dear Twilight Sparkle, I'm sure your brother will give this to you when I have given word back to when I would be returning with my sister. I'm sorry I didn't inform you before, becasue you are a princess after all though still my student for not much longer. So I will explain what is going on, but you must not tell your future partner in study due to the fact that all of this conserns him alone..."

"So it's a stallion?" She asked herself aloud. Spike shrugged in responce.

"Futher more on the subject of your new partner. His name is Phoenix the Dragonhearted, or you can call him whichever name you prefer, he won't mind. He is an alicorn just like you, but has some agner issues so try not to stress him out, too much. When he arives make sure that Ponyville knows so that it doesn't cause any panic, because I'm sure there will be. Pinkie Pie MUST know that she can't throw a party right away upon his arival."

"Guy must be tence..." Spike said.

"Once you've gotten him a place to stay, you can start training him in high level magic. It will be rough at first, but he'll get used to everything sooner or later. One final thing I must say however. He is extremely dangerous if he is angered, and the robe he wears will help slow the change so I asume you'll only have a minuet or so to calm him down. If he is angered, his rage could cause even greater panic then when my sister came back four years ago. So make him feel at home. -Celestia"

"This won't end well..." Spike sighed. "How come you're always stuck doing the things most ponies think she DOESN'T want to do?"

Twilight shrugged setting the parchment aside. "Heck if I know..."

"Does it at least say when he'll becoming?"

"It said on the bottom that he'll be here in four hours. So not really enough time to warn an entire village." She responded.

"Couldn't you just do that face casting spell to the sky?"

"Yes...but however we would need to disturb the pegasi's weather sechedual, and might set them back."

"Then it will take forever!" Spike exadurated. "If we start now, I mean, we would have half the town covered."

Twilight nodded in agreement. "I know, that's what I'm hating. How Come I didn't get this eariler?" She asked.

"I got it a few minuets ago, before I walked in."

"Well, I guess we'll haft to fuck with the pegasi, and they won't like it."

"I'll go find Rainbow Dash."




"Sister, while we wait, why did you return that hug?" Luna asked, taking a bite of the salad.

"Honostly, I have no idea." She answered. "I was suprised, but human tridition goes that one must return a welcoming hug."

Luna chuckled lightly. "Welcoming? You called that welcoming? What I saw was fear, and you showed that there was nothing to fear."

"I suppose you're right Luna. I'm just wondering what he'll pick, aside from his robe."

"How do you know he'll pick it?"

"He's just like that." Celestia said. "Do you know what he did, and why he did it, to keep that robe?"

Luna shook her head in responce. "Tell us."

"He loved a mortal in his past life, when he controled the nature with fire, bringing life, like I do now. He had a brother who bended the earth to his will, and a sisters who shaped oceans, and moved the air. When his family caught word of his forbidden love, they slaughtered her. They ripped apart her body, and made him watch, every second of her slow demise. When she finally died, he swore to wear the robe in her honor, and remembrance of their love. He then killed his brother, and sisters. He burned his brother, he evaporated his sister of water, and crushed the wind pipe of his wind sister."

Luna cringed, seeing Luke frown, as he stood behind Celestia.

"Remind me why I'm fucked up why don't you..."

"I'm sorry Luke, but my sister didn't know."

"It's fine, I would've told you anyways."

"What's with the attitude then?" Celestia asked.

"Well, for one, it's my business." Luke said throwing his stuff down. "You think you could bring these?"

Celestia picked them one by one, naming them aloud.

"Scared Robe, A stick of insence, and a knife?"

"The insence is called Dragon's Blood, and its not a knife, it's called an Athame. A-THA-MAY! If you were wondering how to say it." Luke corrected. "That's my last stick of Dragon's Blood too."

Celestia sighed dropping the athame, and looked Luke into his eyes.

"No killing...please..."

"I half promise, if that counts for anything."

"HE needs to promise as well."

Luke slowly took off his robe, and handed it to Luna, who was on the other side of the room. "Don't give it to me unless my eyes are blue again." She nodded, and Luke closed his eyes, remembering his failure earlier this day. He could remember how losses he felt, failing ten times in a row. His breathing started to get heavy, and Celestia backed up. His hair went from blond to gray, and the bright red stripes in his hair turned a darker, blood red color. He smiled for a bit, and opened his eyes, as he staired into Celestia's eyes.

"C-can you not kill my kingdom's inhabitants?" Celestia asked with a shakey voice.

Kyle laughed for a moment, then sighed. His black eyes matched his pupils, and became shape, like a snake's eye.

"I swear, but the moment some one attacks,"

"Your training will consist of magical, and physical attacks..." Celestia said flatly.

Kyle cleared his throat. "If he says he is in danger, in anyway, and he can't handle a dumb pony,"

"I-"

"Luke maybe likes to not use his dragon eye, but I do. I know that you're in a disguise. You look nice, no lie." He stated. "Now, I'm tired, and wasn't done napping."

His hair went back to its normal state, and his eyes were bright blue once again. Luna threw the robe back.

"We wish not to see his presence again." Luna said. "His aura is dark, and it was suffocating."

Celestia nodded in agreement. "Yes, now, are you ready?"

"So everything's good right?" Luke asked. "He isn't going to kill anyone?"

"That's why we're leaving. Now, grab your things, and we'll meet out back when your mother arrives."

Luke sat down on the couch, feeling slightly nervous, and Luna could see this. She smiled, looking at her sister. Celestia saw this, and walked to the back door.

"I'll go prepare for the trip back, come out when your mother is back." She said.

Once Celestia closed the door behind her, Luna sat next to Luke.

"I know exactly how you feel right now Luke."

"You do?" He asked.

Luna nodded, and frowned a bit. "Indeed, see like you, I've done something awful, and regret to this day." She admitted. "When I was a bit younger. I had tried to over throw my sister, while I was convinced that I could succeed. I had made a dark pact with a spirit, saying it could give me all the power I ever wanted. Well, to put a long story short, I was banished to a very cold, and dark place. However, I was set free, and repented with the help of my sister's student along with her friends. They'll be your teachers, and you'll grow to them, like I have."

Luke saw pain in her eyes, and hugged her. Luna was shocked, receiving a hug, like her sister.

"What was that for?" She asked.

"I've felt pain like that. Though, I'm sure where I'm going with you won't be dark, and cold. Right?"

Luna chuckled saying, "No, our kingdom is for kindness, and showing care for each other. Something we are glad you hold."

Luke smiled, and leaned back. "Her name is Jane, she helped me learn how to care much more then I used to."

"Do you like her?"

"Yes, but seeing how I'll be moving, won't be any chance getting with her." Luke sighed. "Still though, what's it like, the kingdom you two rule?"

"Peaseful, though we still have slight problems."

"Without problems, what's the point, right?"





It took Twilight about an hour, before she had a large cloud hovering over Ponyville, and over six thousand confused ponies all sitting outside the town hall. She looks to her little brother Spike who is also her number one assistant, then back to the confused crowd of ponies. She fires the spell into the sky, directly in the center of the cloud. She clears her voice and begins speaking, with her new toned royal voice.

"Ponies, please listen to me well. We have an important guest visiting Equestria for a while. He is a dangerous guest however, so treat him with the same kindness you would show to the ponies you love." At this point the ponies started to chatter, worry in their collective voices. Twilight stomped her hoof, regaining any lost attention from the crowd. "Now, please calm down everypony. Celestia has complete faith in us as a community to take care of him, and help him feel like he's at home. In fact I need somepony t  allow him to rest in their house." Twilight looked for any raised hooves, but not a one pointing into the air like she had hoped. "Did I mention he's a prince?" She asked, and ponies hooves shot up like bullets."Great, now, all I know is that he's going to be here in just a few minuets, so let's get things ready!"





"I'm going to miss you Luke." Luke's mother said, hugging her only child tightly.

Luke returned the hug, and felt a tear roll down his mother's face. He had memories here, but change was coming. He didn't like change, as much as he hated it, he had too. Either exploding and killing millions of people, or gaining the power to control his unstable body. It was a change he felt this time was for the better.

He let go, as his mother did, and turned around, facing the princesses.

"For this moment I shall keep, for this day I shall remember, for my failures, I shall use for success."

Luna chuckled, "Almost spoken like a prince."

"A Lord," Celestia corrected. "A proper one."

Celestia engaged the spell, and symbols drawn on the ground lit up brightly. Luna opened the portal, and Sonya, Luke's mother backed up, leaving the bridge. Luke held onto his things as he felt being slightly stretched into the portal.
> Chapter 3
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The inside the portal was amazing, and trippy as fuck to Luke. Colors swirled around like what a person would see if they were on an acid trip. They blended, folded and wived over each other. Colors of red, pink, green, and maybe the rest of the color spectrum filled the portal vortex. It made him a little dizzy, so he closed his eyes.

Celestia looked back to him, and saw that the change was starting. The change from human to pony. First his skin changed from a pale skin color, to a grayish color. His hair grew longer into a gleaming bleach blond with strawberry colored highlights. Then his body started to shape, and she could tell he was in a bit of pain. His eyes squinted as a horn, and a pair of wings. Slowly his legs shifted upwards, and grew a few inches. For a moment he opened his eyes as beams of light shot out. When the light stopped shooting brightly out of his eyes, Celestia gasped, seeing a dark blue, and not what she had thought they would be. No, not the normal light sky-blue eyes, but almost twilight-blue in color. After a moment of breathing heavily a tail shot from his flank, and a cutie mark sat right in the center of it. Luke's cutie mark was a treble clef that was multicolored, from the bottom going up it was blue, yellow, orange, and red almost like a fire.

His mane grew longer, close to the lenth of Celestia's, and waved behind him as if a rough breeze blew into it. His hair moved like fire, the same chaotic nature that hid inside of his mind. Like how Kyle had made his first impressions on the princesses, it slightly disturbed her.

Slowly her body started to follow the same pattern, and finished right before they flew out of the portal.





Ponies gasped, and screamed as a nearly lifeless body shot out of the portal. This was Luke's body of course, and it nearly hit a small cluster of ponies that sat in the far back from the stage that was right in front of the town hall doors. In fact the stage was built into the town hall as an outside meeting area for celebrations that couldn't go on inside.

Luke's body was built like a tank, and like most rammed through a wall to a building close by. Celestia grimaced, and used her magic to pull Luke back, and repair the wall. She set his body on stage, and gave a light sigh.

"Mares, and gental stallions!" She called, gaining their attention. "I have searched far, to distant kingdoms in search for this prince! When he wakes shortly, I want you to know him as Prince Phoenix, he is from Neigherland!"

"You went to drink!?" Twilight asked, shocked at Celestia's lie. "Half the kingdom was worried about you!"

Celestia looked sheepishly at Twilight. "Sorry I worried you all." She said. "Thank fully we had Discord to conduct our day-to-night transitions. You should all thank him greatly."

Twilight walked angerly up to the princesses. "You left to find a drunk?" She asked. "And let Discord turn the sun and moon?"

"Twilight,first he is around your age, not old enough to drink. Second Discord is showing that he has changed, slightly, but not doing any evil magic beyond the element's control."

Twilight gave a huff. "Doesn't matter princess..."

Slowly Phoenix's body started to move, as he groaned in pain. He held his head for a moment, stopping when he noticed a foreign object on his forehead. His eyes snapped open, and his jaw dropped. He looked around for Celestia, and Luna, but only saw a group of ponies to his right. On his left were three horned pegasi with a small purple dragon next to them.

His head flashed from left to right, until he got what he thought was going on.

"So, ponies?" He asked looking at the horned pegasi. They nodded in response. "And I'm one too?" He asked some what in disbeleif. Again they nodded, and the white one walked slowly over to him.

"You look different from us, very different." She said.

"Is this the world you said you were taking me too?"

She nodded. "Yes, and this is my old student Twilight Sparkle." Celestia said, pointing to the purple horned pegasus.

Phoenix stood up, wobbled for a moment, then got his bearings before he started to walk forward. He walked up to Twilight, stopping only a few inches away from her. He smiled, and held out his left hoof.

"Pleased to meet you Twilight."

Twilight was taken back for a moment, never after when she moved here did a pony say "Pleased to meet you." She took a deep breath in, and smiled. "And to you Prince Phoenix. Might I say you look very nice."

Phoenix blushed for a moment, taken in by the complement he had NEVER received before now. They shook hooves, and Phoenix turned towards the crowd.

"I am blessed to be in all of your's presence! I hope we can become friends." He said bowing.

Celestia walked over, setting her hoof on Phoenix's shoulder with a slight laugh.

"You're already feeling what this world has on your body, and mind Phoenix. You'll get used to the magic soon, and when you do we'll start your training." She said. "Twilight, if you could, would you take him to a place where he can meet your friends? He needs to meet his teachers after all."

Twilight nodded. "Right away princess." She said. "Come on Phoenix, we'll go to my place. GIRLS!" She called.

Right away five other ponies started to walk up to Twilight. Respectfully they all bowed towards Phoenix, and one with rainbow colored mane started to talk.

"Don't know why we need to teach you, but I think you'll be a quick learner. I don't like having my naps schedule messed up." She said in a light raspy voice.

"Says the mascot of the LGBT group..." Phoenix said under his breath. "Should we get going?"

"Yes, you should." Celestia said. "You all may leave now, continue on with your day!"

After a short walk to a large tree, Phoenix nearly cried when he saw the aura that pulsed around it. It was one he knew, but never expected to see again. He stopped, refusing to move, and the six ponies looked at his with confusion. Twilight moved close to him.

"Everything alright?"

Phoenix rubbed his eyes, wiping away any visible tears. "What makes you think that?" He asked. "After all, my brother is a tree..."

A orange pony with a ten gallon hat snorted, trying to hide a laugh. "Um, Prince Phoenix, I'm start'n to think your a bit crazy. This tree has been here way before Ponyville settlers were here."

"How old is it then?" He asked.

"Six hundred years old." Twilight said. "It's known as the tree of wisdom. Mostly due to the fact it has over two thousand books in it, and it used to bear fruit that gave knowledge. It stopped when Celestia banished Luna to the moon for one thousand years. No pony knows why it stopped."

"Brother, if you can hear me, I am sorry, so sorry." Phoenix said. "Where I'm from, the elements we control are what we are born into when we die by unnatural means. Looks like he became a tree...He always like those."

Twilight started to understand what he was saying, and gave a weak smile. "Do you think he'll forgive?"

"Wisdom comes from the earth. It is the oldest thing to have a collected mind, linked with every living thing that dwells on its surface. I'm sure he's had time to think about what he's done."

"What do you mean by that?" She asked.

Phoenix shook his head. "Never mind, come on let's go inside." He siad, walking into the tree house.

Twilight looked at her friends with confuse, as they did in return. "I think he's crazy..." Rainbow Dash said.

"Crazy or not, he knows something far beyond what we understand. Maybe it's why Celestia, and Luna were gone for so long."
> Chapter 4

Celestia felt as though she needed to laugh, and she did just that. Not one moment went on without taking the time to laugh. She could not believe how easy getting Luke to come to Equestria. Now it was left up to the mane six's training to help him. She was honest about Luke's problem, but wasn't honest about why he was supposed to be there. Frankly she was board, and Luna knew this all to well.

After Twilight became princess of magic it was only time before problems from rising up in Equestria would start to slow down, and stop. However Luke was a new problem, and they had to fix it. They didn't realize it yet, but sooner or later the balance that he had managed to maintain in his mind would slowly break apart. The magic in Equestria forced peace in mind, but there was more chaos in his head then Discord had or would in a day. She knew how his mind worked, and this only made it much easier to control.

Now, she was sitting in her study, reading past notes written down by her old student. She chuckled as she read them, reliving moments of her own past through her student's findings on the magic of friendship.

"Dear Princess Celestia, today I learned that having friends to learn from is better than reading from any old book, and that you can't ever have too many." She read aloud.

A knock came at the door, and Celestia opened it with her magic. To her surprise it was Princess Cadence.

"Come in!" Celestia smiled. "I'm not doing anything important right now, so I can talk."

"Great, because that's why I'm here." Cadence said. "I have word that you've brought a human to our world, and that you used the elements of Chaos to reshape is form to a body of destruction. Do you know how dangerous this is for you as a princess, and to the kingsdoms?" She asked.

Celestia nodded, and said, "I do indeed, but if I didn't, things would break apart in his world."

"So it's a male? What do you plan to do with him?"

"Phoenix was a human with two souls, and because most bodies can't handle such things like have two souls, I brought him to a safer place."

Cadence gasped getting close to Celestia. "Your saying you brought HIM here? What has it been Celestia? You're only two thousand years old, and you've brought the maker of elements? You should take him back!"

Celestia rolled her eyes. "Just because my parents failed to help him two lives ago doesn't mean I'll fail. You'll see."

"So where exactly is he?"

"Ponyville, probably getting introduced to his teachers, and possibly his future queen."

"What are you saying?"

"Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your going to get." Celestia smiled.

"Just because I'm only twenty six doesn't mean I know everything. Celestia do not mess around with love, and if you are trying to make him fall for my sister in law, I won't let this go if your plan fails. He breaks her heart, he'll be in a crystal deep underground."

"Looks who's making plans to bannish somepony." Celestia laughed. "Don't worry, if all things go as I plan, his body will be ready six months in advance to his collapse."

"That's of course if it works. So tell me what happens if, and when it fails? What if his body follows through with the myth?"

"With Twilight that makes four alicorns to cover the explosion."

Cadence rolled her eyes, ready to walk out the door. She stopped, calming down, trying her hardest to avoid any stress. She turned her head slightly one eye facing Celestia.

"You fuck up, and things go to hell. I'll be the one mending Twilight's heart. That's of course she doesn't find out what'll happen if he doesn't learn to control his magic." She said. "One more thing Celestia. You need to learn how to think about how emotions can effect how a pony will act."

Cadence walked out of Celestia's study, unsure whether to slap her or not.





Phoenix was against the wall, deciding whether or not to be scared of six ponies. They all quickly pelted him with weird information, and strict rules that he had to follow. So far, he had only gotten to know their names, anything after that was all a blur of words. He sighed after Twilight had finished explaining laws that they had in Equestria, and why he should follow them.

"Right, right, so what'll y'all be teaching me?" He asked. "I assume you've figured that out by now... correct?"

"Well, I can teach you how to use high level magic spells." Twilight offered. "Do you know teleportation yet?"

Phoenix 's eyes widened, and he gave a big smile. "I-I can teleport?" He asked, trying to hold the on coming storm of excitement.

"Of course, though there are times were you may blow you self up with magic, but other than that you'll be fine." She explained. "Most already have a light hold on teleportation by the time they finish second grade."

"Wow, I feel really dumb now..." Phoenix sighed. "Will blowing up hurt?" He asked.

Twilight struggled to not answer his question, so she only nodded slowly in response.

He sighed. "Alright, figured as much. So Rainbow Dash, what'll you do to teach me?"

"For starters we'll do some wing exercises, like wings ups, then we'll do some basic training like flying through some hoops. I maaaaaaaay need to widen your hoops however. You are about Celestia's height so that's why if your wondering."

"Rarity?"

"I guess I can help you fix that cloak you've got there. What kind of fabric is that made out of?" She asked.

"It's a robe..." He stated flatly. Then he noticed what she was talking about. Either the robe shrunk, or he grew, alot. "I guess it needs a bit of hemming, but you shouldn't mess with any designs on it. Oh, also it is made out of enchanted cotton, processed in liquefied, and purified magical essence from a dragon's horn with its heart."

Rarity, and the other girls were in total dismay. Each one of them all had a look of utter horror, and confusion. Spike however was hiding behind Twilight, shaking uncontrollably.

"I don't assume you have any extra threads?" Rarity asked.

"Fraid not Rarity. I wasn't able to bring it."

"Thought so, maybe the Griffins can take care of that for us."

"Okay, so who's next?" He asked.

"I suppose I could give you some endurance training. It's almost apple bucking season, so it would be a good time to train ya."

"Oh I can help teach you how to make cupcakes! I have this new recipe that'll make them extra yummy!" Pinkie Pie offered. "Here try one!" She said shoving a cupcake into Phoenix's mouth.

When he bit down, it tasted slightly like iron. He guessed she cooked with hard iron cupcake pans. Slowly it tasted better as what may have been tons of sugar in each bite. He smiled, giving a slight mone in the pleasure to the sweet taste of strawberry, and cherry, his favorite fruits.

Phoenix nodded in delight. "Yep, teach me the art of cupcakes."

"I ready to teach." She said.

Phoenix took another cupcake from a plate nearby. "I'm...hmmmm.....ready to....Oh yeah....to learn..." He said  in the sweet moment of  extacy.

Fluttershy was sitting in the corner saying things to herself, but when he was done eating she felt like she wanted to ask him something.

"Um, I was just wondering, I hope you do, but if you don't that's fine, but if you do, yay. So um, do you happen to like animals? I do, I love animals, and smaller critters that are all over the place."

Phoenix nodded with a smile. "Of course I like animals. My belief that every...pony, has an animal counter part to match their soul. Like a form they turn into when they enter these special walks called spirit walks. For me I have a dragon counter part. It's why I like them so much. However my brother is different, he likes phoenixes. Thinks they're cool just because they can live forever." He explained. "So yeah, animals are cool."

Fluttershy gave an unnatural squee when she smiled at his answer. Then she sat back down onto a chair nearby.

"So that's all of you...ain't so bad...I guess." He said. "Sooooo...What now?"

"We find you a place to stay."

For a moment everypony was silent, pondering on who would allow him to sleep. The ponies during the town meeting were hesitant on allowing him to stay in their homes.  One by one they all sat there as Phoenix ate more cupcakes, each bite taking him to the Summerlands and back again over, and over. Then when no pony could think, Rarity sighed, and she stood up.

"I'll do it!" She said. "I have an extra room that I normally use as a closet. You can use it when I'm finished clearing it out. I'll just need to use my basement for once."

Phoenix smiled. "Thanks Rarity! I hope I don't cause any trouble."

"Me too..." Twilight said.

Luna set her tea cup gently down on the table before grabbing her Xbox One controller. She smiled, and comfortably nested her head set atop her free flowing midnight blue mane. She unpaused her game, and started to shout.

"GET YOUR FLANKS OVER HERE YOU WINY BUCH OF PUSSY PUSSIES! I bet your grandmares play better!"

"I am a grandmaster you lousy bitch!" An old voice said.

"Ah, granny Smith, nice of you help me beat these shit eaters down?" Luna asked.

"You betcha! Imma buck so many flanks until I see shit flying out their mouths!" The grandmare answered. 

After they spawned into their map, Puke Town, they went at it, on a nearly flawless kill streak, before granny Smith fell asleep. That's when Luna noticed it was sundown.

"Time flys, like most winds." She said to herself.

"Where did all that anger come from huh?" Asked a familiar voice. "A shame I'm not with you, well, not completely."

"Where dost thou hide foul soul!"

"Foul? I'm no bird, well, I could be." He said. "So, where's my brother?"

"Kyle! Your soul stenches up my room! Leave now!"

A shady figure slowly built itself from the ground, eyes white as a fluffy cloud.

"I don't think I like that name, see, I would prefer something, classier. How about Rintik? I like that name."

"I said leave!"

"When I know where my brother is."

Luna loosened her stance in confusion. "What? You aren't connected with your brother?"

"I still am, but it's like he's in one of those mirror houses in those um...shows. Yes, and I can't find him, well not a form that'll burn up with my presence."

"If I tell you, you'll leave me be?"

"Good question princess, are you going to help me? See, I love my brother, as much evil as you think I am, I still have a soul. After all we share one body, his, that's why he has 95% dominance over his actions." Rintik explained. "So if you could point with that long horn of yours, it would be much appreciated."

"He's in Ponyville, just south of here."

The body bowed in a proper fashion, and it shattered. When the shards of Rintik's shadowy body wisped away, Luna felt like she was going to pass out. That's when she had a thought spark in her head. Rintik had a shade body, and she swore to herself that she really felt his touch. Awakening something deep inside.

A slight grin appeared on her face, and the top row of her teeth sharpened.

"I'm.....back...and this time, no puny element of Harmony will stop...US."





Twilight was getting ready to head to bed. She had worked hard getting an entire town to get to one place in only a matter of a few hours. Not to count the hour trying to calm Spike down after finding out what made up the enchantments on Phoenix 's robe.

She used her magic to put a few books away, and throw a blanket over Spike. Then she slowly settled herself into bed.

"Tommorow, things will change." She said to herself. She said this every night before she went to bed. She started this a few months ago when the subject on choosing a stallion to marry.

Then when she just turned off her lights, a dark force blew down her neck. She jumped out of bed, and ran out the door. She looked to the moon, shining in the nine' o clock position. It was just as she feared, it didn't move. She stood there, outside until she heard the ten coo-coos from her clock inside.

She let a tear flow down her face, and started to walk to Rarity's boutique.





"LUNA!" Celestia shouted as she was blasted through two walls. Luna had lost herself to the darkness again, just as she had feared, however  was a different power. It was ordered chaos, as if she was not in control, but another was. "Fight what ever has taken you! Please!" She begged.

Luna shot forward at lightning speed to her sister, and sniffed her neck.

"You, are my sister...how sad your first...maybe I should attack your plan. Oh, yes! If I kill him now, his body with go super nova, vaporizing this half of Equestria. Oh how lovely would it be to see it from my moon eh sister?" She said backing off to a nearby window. "Ha! This is going to be fun! Haha...hahaha....hahhahahahaa! Woohahahahahahahaha! Booowahahahahahahahaha!"

Celestia fell to the ground, weakened. Guards flooded the room, all looking at Celestia as she passed out, as she cried her sister's name.





THUMP-THUMP-THUMP! Twilight knocked on Rarity's boutique door. Nearly slamming her hooves as she knocked.

The door opened, revealing Rarity who looked like she was a crystal knight.

"Like it? Phoenix just made it out of no where. It fits nicely, and looks FABULOUS!"

"Is he still awake?!" Twilight asked quickly.

"Yes of course we're working n his robe right now why?"

"Look at the moon, and look at your clock, then tell me what's wrong."

Rarity was puzzled, and did what she was asked to do. After a moment Rarity pulled a gem sword from her closet which was locked away. She earned it from an adventure she went on.

"Phoenix dear! Um, I suggest that you get yourself a set of armor."

"I already know why, it's why I gave it to you." Phoenix shout from the back. "Go on, I need to prepare."

"For what?"

"It's just good to be prepared Twilight, go! I need five minuets, and I'll be out!"

"Come on Rarity!" Twilight ordered. "We need to get the other's!"

As they ran off, Phoenix was getting pissed. He had just felt his brother return to his body fully, and he was weaker than he normally was.

"You did this! Didn't you!?"

"What can I say... I am evil."

"You put us in danger! I fell her power growing! We haven't even learned how their magic works here!"

"Yes you do... Friendship. Here, friendship is magic."

Phoenix slammed his head into the wall infront of him. For a moment he rubbed his head as Rintik shouted.

"Fuck! Fuck you, that hurt!" He shouted though Phoenix.

"That's what you get! Are you dumb? She is after us, you heard her story right?"

"I did, and you know she wanted power, I gave it. Just went to the evil side."

"Forget it!" He shouted running out the door. "Friendship....right...Twilight, Apple Jack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy..."

"Yes?" They all asked. They had surrounded him while he was thinking with his eyes closed.

"Magic from my world to your 's!" He smiled for a short moment as they all looked above to see Luna clapping her hooves together.

"You made friends, well, at least they'll cry when you die."

"We won't die!" Phoenix, and Rintik shouted, with fully clarity that two voices were spoken at once. "Draco luminous!" He shouted, and he saw that a faint rainbow was circling around him. "You all have a power, sharing it when close?" He asked.

"Does somepony have a plan? Oh, this'll be good." Luna chuckled.

"He's talking about the elements!" Twilight said.

"Use that, yeah, and fire it at me!"

"What!?" They asked, shock in their collective voices. Even Luna raised an eye brow.

"This'll be easier than I expected! Haha!"

"Just do it!" He ordered. Within a moment  a pillar of rainbows shot down onto Phoenix. Slowly he started to feel as if pressure was life's from his heart. "The darkness,it feels lighter..." He said to himself. He looked into Luna's eyes, narrowing them sharply as he looked at her. "New move!" He shouted, blasting the rainbow at Luna.

"What!?" She asked trying to fly away. "Noooooooooo!" She screamed as a shadow left her body, and flew into Phoenix 's chest.

He turned around, his body glowing brightly in a multitude of colors. He smiled, moving of the way, revealing Luna, who lay on the ground.

"Don't worry, he heart is pure. Any evil that was locked away deep in her heart is gone." He said. "However, when this form uses the remaining energy, I not know of the results. I am pure now, but balance must be restored."

The colors started to fade away, and  his bright blue eyes, turned grayish blue. The last few things he heard was. "Call a doctor!"

He fell on the ground, knowing he has saved Luna's future.
> Chapter 6
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Waking to sounds of hospital machines beeping and making drip-drop noises, Phoenix was in a slight amount of pain. His eyes were still closed. They were closed because he was trying to recall any memories of last night. He remembered Twilight shouting something, and now he was there, he was confused.

"Are you awake?" Somepony asked.

"Yeah, how'd you know?"

"Saw your eyes shift, plus your wings are moving." She answered.

"Hey Twilight." He sighed, opening his eyes to a stream of colors. "What happened last night?"

"Last night?" She asked. "You've been out for about three days."

"Damn..." Phoenix said. "Really?"

"I don't lie to my friends." She said flatly. "Unless its for a party or something. That's not the point however. How did you know we had powers?" She asked. "Though we gave back our elements to the Tree of Harmony."

"Must of had a little left over. Power is easy to sense here, so that's how I saw it. Plus I know a little Latin."

"Well, however you got us to use a spell like that, it was still quite amazing how you saved Princess Luna."

Twilight walked over to Phoenix's bed, and sat in a chair that lay next to it. She moved around until she was comfortable where she sat.

"I must say it was amazing. The energy released is still effecting Ponyville. Everypony is still really nice to each other, and..."

"And?" He asked.

"It even effected me. I haven't ever felt like being extremely nice to anypony. I was sort of like Rarity. I was so generous it was almost sickening."

Phoenix laughed for a moment. He wiped a tear from his eye. "Really? Like Rarity? That's actually funny Twi." He said.

Phoenix saw how Twilight looked. With his enhanced sight, allowing him to see more colors, he could see that she was blushing. He frowned, and turned on his bed to see her better.

"But, because I wasn't there makes it funny." He finished. "What happened?"

"Ponies got worried when they saw you and Luna lying on the ground. They couldn't tell if you were alive or not until a doctor said you were." She answered. "You worried everypony, even me."

Phoenix was flattered that she was worried about him, but he was still not used to being a pony. Meaning that he wasn't thinking about falling in love. He sighed, rolling back over to his back, staring at the ceiling.

"Sorry, at least everypony is safe, and wasn't harmed." He said. "Though that isn't entirely true."

"What do you mean? Luna is safe now! Who could be hurt?"

"Not hurt, destroyed." He said. "I am not your Phoenix."

Twilight gasped. "WHAT?!"

"Calm down, I can't move an inch from this bed without falling over in exhaustion." He said.

"What happened to Phoenix?!"

"He's sleeping, the power was too much, and he used it all and then some. Don't worry, he'll be up before I can even do a spell."

Twilight was worried. Phoenix wasn't there, she had been talking to another in place of his body. A different mind if anything at all.

"So, he has-"

"Two souls, his own, and mine. He owns the body however. See we were supposed to be twins, but I died while I was still forming inside our mother's womb. I had enough energy to fly into his, creating a psychopath." He laughed. "You should go..."

"Why?" Twilight asked worried.

"The change is different here. You saw him change right? The evil flew inside, and energy needs to be released. Even I can't handle this energy for long. Your Princess Luna, she had more evil inside of her, locked away, but there nonetheless. When Phoenix, my brother of light, purified her heart, the evil inside of her had its own energy, I just gave it a kick start to awaken it. It had used a quite of bit of energy already, but even here you should know what the Law of Conservation of Energy is, correct?"

"Yes, energy cannot be created or destroyed." Twilight answered. "So, when you change, what'll happen?"

"Dunno, hard to tell. He released light, I may release darkness."

"I'll stay then, I want to be the first pony he sees."

Rintik smiled for a moment before he jerked back. His body thrashed about until a beam of black energy shot out from his chest, and into the sky through the roof.  Twilight watched the event take place right next to Phoenix. She sat in shock, and fear as a demonic scream wailed from his mouth. Pain, anger, and sadness is what it felt like to Twilight. Watching his eyes grow lighter.

After about five minuets the dark beam dissipated from his chest, and he laid there, unmoving. Twilight ran up to him, and cried. Machines stopped beeping, and so did his breathing. She looked at his lifeless corpse, and heard the room door open. Four doctors ran in there, and pushed her out of the way.

"CLEAR!" One yelled as he shocked his chest with magic.

"No pulse!"

"CLEAR!"

Over, and over again they did this until one doctor stopped the other. He shook his head low, and the others took off their hats.

"We'll give you an hour Princess Twilight." Doctor Doctor said, leaving the room with the others.

Twilight walked back up to Phoenix's body, tears flowing like tiny streams down her face. Phoenix was dead, and Twilight thought he looked too young to die. The door opened again, and there stood princess Luna.

She walked up next to Twilight, still standing with her tears dropping onto the floor.

"Is he?" She asked softly.

"Y-yes..." Twilight struggled to respond. "He's dead."

"This is my fault Twilight, if you need to blame any-"

"No blaming is needed." Phoenix said, machines coming to life.

The princesses gasped in shear shock, and joy. Twilight however shook it off, and slapped him in the face.

"OW! Fuck that hurt!" He shouted.

"DON'T EVER WORRY ME LIKE THAT AGAIN!" She shouted back. "Or else I will-"

"Will what?" He asked with a smile. 'Kill me? I just died, and you're saying you're going to kill me?"

"Don't put words into my mouth asshole!"

"Twilight, is that language really necessary?" Luna asked.

"Yes!" She hissed. "I don't like being worried! Didn't Celestia tell you about the day that had no lesson? I got so worried that I nearly went crazy over it."

Phoenix chuckled. "Crazy over a missing assignment?"

"It's a big deal if you're a book worm like Twilight, when Celestia is your teacher." Luna smiled. "I'm glad that I hadn't caused you to kill yourself to save me. I thank you for the act. My heart feels much lighter now."

Phoenix smiled weakly. "That's great, but evil can still find its way back into your heart."

Luna walked up close to him. She tilted her head downward, and started to whisper into his ear.

"How do you retain such memories of your past, so that they may shape your future?" Luna asked.

"It's a punishment princess." He replied. "I haft to remember my actions so that they may haunt me until I die for the fourth time."

"So three more times?" Twilight asked. "You've got three more lives!"

"I've actually died twice, so two." He corrected. "Let me tell you a story where I'm from."

The princesses moved to separate chairs, both next to each other, and Phoenix started to tell his story.

It was a long time ago, in the 1200's. Phoenix was a brother of a family of lords and ladies who ruled, and protected the lands. He was thirty years old, and was thinking on starting a family. However doing this was hard for him, because he had to find a wife in which was a witch. His brother, and sisters made it well aware to him that he could not fall in love to a mortal. The cause would be half breeds, that was a crime for his family.

Two years after that he met a mortal who saved his life by stealing the blade he was going to kill himself with. No witch was willing to marry a lord witch who had a mastery for pyromancy. She had talked to him a great deal before they fell in love. She, like everyone in the kingdom, knew he was a witch, but didn't care. Phoenix had the wisdom of a dragon, and had a gentle heart like a deer.

After four years he married her, and that's when his brother and sister caught word of his wife's blood. Enraged they stole her in the middle of the night, and tied Phoenix to his bed. Slowly they started to rip his wife's body apart like they were picking apples. One by one, each time she screamed in pain, as Phoenix laid on his bed, crying.

When it was all over, Phoenix was untied, but he said one thing before he slaughtered his siblings. "I vow to this day, and forever more that witches will decide whom they fall in love with. Mortal or not. To start this vow, I shall kill each of you with the very elements you control." After he made his vow, he cut the windpipe out of Lady of the Aer's neck. Then he drowned his other sister in red wine so that she could not be healed by water. Lastly he looked into his brother's eyes, Lord Earthmaker. He shook his head before burning his brother until nothing but ash remained. Only he was burned because his brother was the one who ripped his wife's head off. He wanted his brother to suffer, and suffer more than anything that could of been painful in a life time.

When Twilight, and Luna heard this, they looked at each other with pure shock. Twilight looked more afaid than shocked.

"Did....did you love her that much?" Twilight asked.

Phoenix nodded as he sighed. "Yes, and it haunts me everyday. A curse I shall forever hold until the summerlands welcome me."

"I-I think I should report back to my sister. She needs to know I'm alright." Luna said. "I need to see if she's alright. Before I was completely taken I saw myself attack her."

"Luna, if you need anypony to help your case, I'll defend you." Phoenix offered.

Luna bowed. "I thank you Phoenix, but I'm sure my sister will forgive me. I'm sure she knows I wasn't in control of myself."

"Bye princess!" Twilight said.





Celestia woke up as the finishing repairs on the walls she crashed through, were under way. She sat up in her bed with an unwelcoming headache. She coughed a few times, and flopped her head back onto her cloud pillow. Last night was a blur to her, and what Cadence said to her, was starting to effect her. It was beyond what she could do, so Cadence making Luna attack her was out of the question. Nevertheless she still threatened her. If she had to worry about anypony, it would be Phoenix, and not Cadence.

She sighed heavily when her director of treasury walked into her room. She picked him up with her magic, and brought him close to her face.

"Not in the mood to deal with anything. If you value your life, you will leave post haste!" She hissed quietly.

"Yes, your magisty!" He said, running out the room door, closing it behind him.

Celestia could remember how the attack went down, almost too well.





"So princess as where we stand right now, Equestria is slowly sinking in funds. If we open up another mine, and a couple farms, it will be able to support our growing population."

"How will that do anything to help us? We don't do manual mine labor anymore, and you know this!" Celestia barked.

In the silence of the Equestrian counsel meeting, one mare raised her hoof. Celestia looked over and nodded.

"Does anypony besides me hear any laughing?" She asked. 

"What do you mean?" Celestia asked. Before she was answered the wall blasted inward. Ponies screamed as they ran out of the room, running for the explosion that luckily didn't hurt anypony. A dark figure stood in the hole in the wall, laughing. "No!" Celestia shouted as a bolt of magic shot her in the chest, causing her to fly back through the wall.

"THE NIGHT....WILL LAST......FOREVER!!" Luna shouted.

Celestia got up in time to miss another bolt, sure to kill her.

"Luna! Please! Stop this!" She begged.

Luna dashed forward, uppercutting Celestia in the face. This made Celestia fly back through the wall. She screamed in pain, though it mostly sounded like she was crying. She was, and had every reason to cry. She didn't want to lose her sister again to the darkness that swallowed her soul into nothingness.

The rest was all but a blur as Luna picked up Celestia, and threw her through four more walls until she stopped.





Celestia felt a tear run down her face, remembering, that's what made her think of Phoenix. He was going to be attacked, but if he died, then how come she woke up? She jumped out of her bed, and ran to the balcony where her sister stood, smiling. Celestia was over come with joy, and happiness. She bolted up to her, and hugged her tightly.

"Don't ever worry me like that!" Celestia cried. "I lost you once, I had to wait a thousand years before I could see you again."

"Phoenix saved me, thank him. Thank him one thousand times. Each time for every year I could of been up there." Luna ordered. "With his help, I no longer feel the darkness that once lived deep in my heart, locked away."

"I will give him my own version of thanking him." Celestia said. "No normal thanks will do."

"Way to a stallion's heart is though-"

"His dick..."

"Look I just don't see why I need a wheelchair. Clearly I can walk, you just saw me walk to check myself out!" Phoenix said.

"I'm sorry, but rules are rules. They are practiced here, and all shall follow them, even princes." The nurse replied.

Phoenix was board, and well good enough to walk. He was tired of sitting in a bed, and he wanted to visit Twilight, then see Rarity about is robe. He was really worried about it staying in her house, alone with no pony to defend his robe from colorful ponies. Phoenix was wanting it to stay as normal as possible so he can remember he was human after a while. He'd seen it in movies, where the union army guy became an Indian, and forgot he wasn't one.

Phoenix sighed heavily, and sat down in a wheelchair. He looked at the nurse, who only responded with horror, hiding behind the counter. Slowly he moved his way out using his magic, and once he left the doors, he stood up.Then without moving he picked it up, and threw it off into a nearby forest.

"Who ever invented wheelchair rules for hospitals needs to die." He grunted, walking on. He followed the path down to intersection. One road led to a scary dark forest, and the other led to village full of color. He put his hoof to his chin. "Doom path, or death path..." He asked himself looking down the happier looking path. "Movie logic states that this path is going to kill me, and the doom forest averted." He said, walking down the path of doom forest.

A moment later, his shadow grew out of the ground like a tree until a shadow like pony figure appeared. It bowed, looking into the forest.

"My brother, do you truly think that this way will get you back to Ponyville?"

"Are you being nice?" Phoenix asked.

"It's seems like the magic Twilight was talking about is still effecting the surrounding land." He said. "Are you really going down this path?"

"Why not? Movie logic hasn't turned me wrong."

"Alright, but don't expect me to help."

"Fine, you be evil then, but you stay next to me."

"Fair enough..."

The shadow broke apart like glass, and formed into the ground. Phoenix looked down the path, and he sighed. A dark scary forest was a much weirder choice. Movie logic now was a dumb option for him to choose, Phoenix knew this now seeing how he was in a near perfect. He turned around, hearing a slight chuckle from his shadow.

He left the forest, and started to walk down the other path. One by one, his hooves clopped on the ground, and he was slightly wanting to tap dance. He held back the urdge and continued to walk. He walked because he didn't know how to fly, well not forward anyways.

When Ponyville was in closer view he saw the ponies working in their tiny stalls, selling goods grown in tiny gardens. Then, as if it was out of no where, a chariot raced from the sky, down to where Phoenix was.

They landed, and two pegasi looked at him.

"The princesses ordered us to give you a ride to Canterlot."

"Why do they need me?"

"They wish to give you a present for saving Princess Luna."

"Sure, I like gifts." Phoenix replied stepping onto the chariot. They blasted off, nearly causing him to lose his hoofing. Straight away to a castle where Celestia, and Luna have a gift there, waiting for him.





Celestia was taking a bath in her large tub, washing away the dust that piled up on her mane from when she crashed through the walls. Not only did her warm bath cleaned away the dust, but it relaxed her muscles. She later back as two ponies combed her mane, and washed it with shampoo.

A knock came from her bathroom door, and she opened it with her magic. Stepping in was a guard.

"Princess, Prince Phoenix is here as you requested."

"Did he fight back at all?" Celestia asked.

"No princess, he was fully cooperative on coming here to see you."

"Let him in. You two," she said looking at the maids. "leave me be. I wish to talk to my student alone."

"Yes princess." The said in unison, and walked out the bathroom.

Celestia stood up, relaxed, and walked over to the balcony. Her mane dripped drops of water on the warm marble. The door opened behind her, and she saw Phoenix wondering into her room.

"Nice place you've got here." He said.

"Welcome, sorry my mane is will wet. You see, I just left my bath."

"Baths are nice." He commented, looking into a vase.

"Would you care for a drink?" She asked. "It's not tastey but it does the trick."

Phoenix tilted his head. "Hm? Oh I can drink here?"

"You're a prince, you can drink whenever you deem it necessary."

"Alright then!" He said taking a drink. After his first glass it was like he was hit with a truck. "Wwooo...What proof is this?"

"Enough to make a pony fucked up one shot." She replied. "Now, for my gift."

Phoenix felt like something strange was going on, but he was starting to like it. Celestia walked forward to Phoenix, swaying her hips left to right. She got close to his face, and breathed down his neck.

"You have passion like fire, and you've saved my sister from a terrible fate. I banished her for a thousand years to the moon before, it would've killed me to do it again." She said. "I'll go you anything you want from me." She pushed Phoenix down on his back, and Celestia had a full view. "Nature has blessed you." She said, laying down. She slowly licked his dick upwards, until she tipped it. Then Celestia rested her lips on it, and moved down. "I can give you more, Phoenix." She said sucking his dick.

Phoenix was taken back in pleasure, and sighed heavily. "Oh, more..." He said. Celestia replied by move her head faster going up, then back down. Louder she sucked, and sucked until she stopped after about two minuets.

"You ready big boy." She asked.

"I do better on top." He said pushing her back, starting to make out. They kissed for a moment until Celestia moved his dick into her pussy. He moved down, and Celestia moaned. He started to fuck Celestia, forcing his penis into her pussy. Celestia moaned louder.

"Yes...Oh yes.....fuck me hard!" She screamed, and Phoenix started to moved faster, pushing harder. "Oh! Oh! Oh! Yes.....hhhmmmmmmm oh yes!!!"





Twilight woke up from her bed, ready to visit Phoenix again. Three days they spent talking about each other, mostly Twilight talking about her adventures she went on. First she talked about her move here, and how she met her friends. Then it went to capturing a god of chaos, to saving a wedding, After that she explained how she became a princess.

She could feel deep down it was okay to trust Phoenix. It was like he gave off a warm, and welcoming safe glow. As if his own aura is trying to protect any around him. Though she knew what was on the other side of his invisible mask. Darkness beyond her understanding, as if he was trapped in a world of dread and dispair. Deep down, Twilight felt like she should of cried for him, at least once.

Slowly Twilight moved her hooves over her face, and looked at them.

"Maybe, today... I'll ask him." She said to herself. The day before she had planned to ask Phoenix out, not for a date, but a time to hang out. She even thought on asking Vinyl to DJ at her club.

She shook her head at the thought. She did most of her morning thinking while she brushed her mane, and tail. When she was done with that she wanted to visit Rarity. It had been quite awhile sense she had seen her, and it was getting close to Rarity's birthday.

"Spike! I'm heading out!" Twilight called from the door. "Make sure the history books are back where they need to be."

"Alright!" Spike yelled back from upstairs, still trying to put in some extra sleep.

Twilight turned around, closing her door behind her, ready to walk to the other side of Ponyville. She took a deep breath in, smelling the morning air that smelt like daisies, and roses. The smell that brought all ponies to notice that it was midspring, and time for the Flower Festival. And if it was the Flower Festival, then Twilight knew she wouldn't need to walk too far to get to her best friend.

She trotted off, not sprinting, but a slight run to smell the new flowers brought from all over the world. When she got there there were all sorts of flowers. Signs that told everypony what they were. Spark Flowers, Mage Flowers, Taple Mage Flowers, Dragon Flowers, Roses, Apple Flowers, Dasies, Blue Orchads,and others to amaze her. It was only morning, but ponies, and other races came to show off their flowers that grow in their kingdoms.

Off in her own little world, Twilight ripped over a tail that moved before her whole body flopped onto it. She jumped up, dusting off any dirt, and looked around. She followed the tail with her eyes, and it led to a stall selling a rare flower.

"A princesss...sssorry for tripping you with my tail." A snake with two arms on the sides said. "Are you alright?"

Twilight nodded with a smile. "Yes, I'm alright, but hardly a princess." She replied, looking at the flower. "What kind is that? I haven't seen it before."

"Aaahhhh, an eye you have indeed. Thissss isss a Tyrulian Royal flower. It has both magical, and myssstical propertiesss."

"What can it do?"

"It'sss just a myth of my race, but if anyone eatss thisss flower, they will have one wish. Thissss isss the lassst one painted by Queen Hala."

"Queen Hala? Who's she?" Twilight asked.

"She helped a God choose the right path. In return for her deed, she received three flowersss that she planted." The snake answered. "I'll sssell it to you."

"How much?" She asked, less excited.

"For you, one dragon scale."

"A dragon scale?" She asked, confused at the prince, expecting bits. Bit Coin or Bits were the international coin for their world, and used it to help expand trade. "Why a dragon scale?"

"Don't you poniesss...no...you don't!" The snake exclaimed. "I'm sssssorry princess, I'm foolish to think you poniess hunt dragonss. I'll fix the prince to twenty thousssand bitss."

Twilight took a few steps back, her jaw reaching for the ground. "W-what? A bit pricey don't you think?"

"For the lassssst wishing flower in existence, I think its jussst right."

Twilight shook her head, walking off. "I may be a princess, but it would take-"

"A prince!" Phoenix smiled, stopping Twilight. "I'll buy it." He said, propping a chest on top the stand. He smiled, and took the case holding the Tyrulian Royal Flower. "There's more than plenty to pay for this in there."

"Plessssure doing buissssnesss with you sire."

"No problem!" Phoenix smiled, walking over to Twilight. "Hey there Twi."

Twilight pulled Phoenix aside, nearly dropping his flower. She looked both ways, then looked into his eyes. Seeing that they were blue she sighed.

"What's up Twi? Why'd you do that?"

"How'd you get so many bits so quickly?!" She asked. "It would've taken me years to get that much!"

"All it took me was to save a princess." He said. "Celestia took me from the hospital, and brought me to her castle in Canterlot then brought that chest full of bits. At least, that's what I remember. She said I bumped my head when I tripped over some water."

"Water? You tripped on water?" She asked. "How does that cause memory loss?"

"I don't know, but I bought this for you." He said, as the case floated over to Twilight. She blushed, her whole face glowing bright red. "Thought you like it. It's just a thanks for allowing me to use you and your friends as weapons, I guess."

"I love it..." Twilight said sitting down looking at the Tyrulian Royal flower. It gave off a slight royal blue glow, in reality it was purple in color. "It...it's so beautiful...thanks." She jumped up, hugging Phoenix tightly.

Phoenix was shocked for a second, but then smiled again returning the hug. They sat in the ally, hugging, not caring about the ponies that would pass by, looking at them. Phoenix started to feel something, deep down, when he realized this his heart jumped. His mane red, and orange like fire, became fire. It cracked, a few times before they stopped hugging.

Twilight looked away for a moment, then back at Phoenix.

"Sorry." She said.

"For what? I like hugs." Phoenix smiled, as the flower glowed brighter.





Celestia sighed, smiling ear to ear as she burned her bed sheets out of existence. Luna stepped into the room, looking at her sister's smile.

"Did he do it?" She asked.

Celestia smiled. "The doctor said it happened."

Luna jumped onto Celestia laughing. "Congratulations! Oh sister I'm happy for this."

"We got an alicorn here, it was male, and we did it. Of course he doesn't remember anything." Celestia replied.

"What will you do when it comes?"

"Name it of course Lulu. Prince Phoenix, pppfffftttttt, I only need him two more times." She smiled walking away.
> Chapter 8 Mini-Chapter
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rarity couldn't help herself. The robe that belonged to Phoenix sat on her table, like a table cloth. The table was large, but he was the size of Celestia, if not bigger. Phoenix came through a portal from Neigherland, but the robe was small, as if he grew. Looking to her left, then her right, Rarity used her magic to grab some thread over from her box of asorted threads. First red, then orange, lastly yellow floated over to her. Next she grabbed her needle, trying the thread into a small loop at the top.

Her blue eyes stared into the robe, as it gave off feelings. For no reason to her she felt a tear run down her face, as if she felt a great sadness. As if her heart broke a dozen times over like glass breaking. She turned away from the robe, wiping her tears away. That's when Sweete Belle walked into the room, humming the Cutie Mark Crucader's theme song.

Sweete looked at her sister, seeing that she was just getting over from crying. Then saw that there was a needle floating next to her.

"Did you poke yourself?" She asked.

Rarity shook her head. "No, just go on. I'm busy repairing prince Phoenix's robe."

"Can I help?"

"N-no, go play with your friends." Rarity said turning back to the robe. Her horn glowed brighter, and brighter. She focused on the feeling, then closed her eyes.

After feeling a tight pull on her body, she opened her eyes, and saw she was no longer in Equestria. She knew though she was in a room. Chairs sat in front of tables, a fire was going in a fire place lighting the room, Torches lined two halls that went to her left, and in front of her.

"Hello?!" She called, walking forward. "Anypony here?" She asked.

For the moment it seemed like nopony was there until she saw a door open behind her. Three large bodies, all standing on two legs, and not four, walked past her. They went right though Rarity which only made her even more confused than she already was. She followed the three who wore crowns atop their heads. One was made of branches, next to that was a crown made of ice that didn't seem to melt, lastly the crown that was made of feathers. Each of them nearly running if for the fact they were walking very fast, as if they were angered by something.

They stopped standing in in front of a door.

"We do this because it is forbidden, not for any other reason." Said the one wearing the branches.

"We do this because we have no other option. It was an order from the Gray." The one with the ice crown said.

"Excuse me but could you-"

"Three...two...one!" They blasted the door down, shattering into wooden splinters, and wooden dust. 

Two inside the room jumped from their bed, just waking from the shock.

"What are you doing here?!" The one without a crown shouted. "It's still night! We don't talk till day!"

"We know about her!" The earth one said. "We know she's mortal! And you know it's forbidden!"

"What of it? Shouldn't I have the right to love her!?" He asked, as a robe flashed around his body.

Rarity's eyes grew wide in shock. The robe was exactly what she was trying to fix.

"You know we're not allowed to marry mortals!" The ice said, Rarity was starting to figure that the females were air, and water. The male, the one wearing the branch crown.

Suddenly the ground shook as the male elected his hands up, then toward the other. Vines shot from the ground, and launched the other male into his bed, where the vines held him down. His hands, on fire trying to burn the vines. While he was doing this, the female that was standing next the man, that's now on the bed, was held in midair by the female with the feather crown.

Her hand was holding up from across the room. The women started to cry.

"Phoenix!" She shouted. "Please help me!"

"I'm trying my love!" He replied the vine nearly half way gone.

The male walked over to the woman as vines grabbed her limbs.

"The only way to stop this is death, and because we love you brother,we shall spare you." He said. Then he clapped, then opened his hands out to his sides, and female was ripped apart, limb by limb.

Rarity watched in horror as the female screamed, lashing out in pain, and agony. Streams of tears flowed down her face, as Rarity finally figured out why she felt such powerful sadness. The female was barely alive, blood flowing out of the little stubs of flesh.

The male on the bed finnished, and jumped out of the bed right as the other ripped off the females head. The male dropped to the floor, looking at the remaining headless body, crying. His tears hit the floor with a sizzle each time one it it. Looking up, anger and sadness in his eyes he burned the male in front of him alive. Then he grabbed the neck of the other, and pulled out her windpipe. Lastly he looked at the last one who stood, ready to fight.

"Too late..." He said, sticking her head into a pale holding a red liquid, most likely red wine. After a moment the body stopped moving, and became limp.

Four dead bodies lay around the male who dropped to the floor again, crying shouting only one thing.

"Kaytala!"

Rarity blinked, and found herself back in her boutique. She looked at the robe, then saw it was gone. Behind her she saw as she turned around was Phoenix who had the robe on.

"When-?"

"A minute ago when I felt that a memory spell was used on me."

"So it was you..." She said. "You are truely sorry for what you did...right?"

"Every night that memory haunts me. I wish my siblings weren't so foolish." He replied.

Twilight walked into the room, and wrapped her hoof around Phoenix 's leg. Rarity saw this, and smiled.

"Forgive, and forget. That's what my mom used to say." Rarity said. "And you've already got her back. Just had to cross to a new home. You can talk to me whenever you like."

"Love too." Twilight smiled.

"Yeah." Phoenix added.
> Chapter 9
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Phoenix woke up, rubbing his eyes to get all of the dry eye crust off. The sun shone brilliantly into his room at Rarity's boutique, giving a yellow tint to the pink room. Outside the boutique ponies walked around starting their morning routines. He looked over across the room from the foot of his bed at his robe seeing that the night before he had finnished. Luckily Spike was willing to give a few drops of his blood to enchant the threads with fire resistance, so it hung completed, and much larger to accommodate to his body growth.

Slowly he flipped his blankets off of himself, and got out his bed. As he stood up his vision went dark for a moment, making him light headed. Getting up, no matter how slow he went, Phoenix always got light headed. Along with his morning light headedness, he always had really weak limbs. Even now that he was in a different world, it still affected him, if not a little worse.

He stood straight as his vision cleared, taking a deep breath in. He smiled as he smelt eggs being cooked.

"Thank you for not being vegans!" He said, walking out of his room.

When he got down stairs he saw Rarity standing over the stove cooking eggs. Phoenix walked over to her, slightly scaring her. She jumped, laughing lightly.

"While you were asleep I figured to read some more. Nothing on a deep level just some basic likes, and dislikes. I hope you don't mind."

Phoenix yawned. "Oh...No...No it's alright. I'm sure he didn't let you go any where too deep in my temple."

"Temple?" Rarity asked.

"Oh, witches design their own mental defenses. Believe it or not we have some fucked up shit that happens when we have mental fights." He answered. "Oh man one time I saw my mother get into a fight with a woman who tried to take me away...Oh man her head nearly blew up. My mom was so pisssed!"

"Why did she try to take you away?"

"She didn't like the fact I was who I was." Phoenix said looking down. "They hated who was different. They're afraid of the dumbest things in the world. The moment they see something that's more powerful than they are, they'll do whatever it takes to end it."

"I'm so sorry, any ways here you go."

"Thanks Rarity, for the eggs, and for help on my robe."

"It wasn't hard a job, but it was slightly difficult." Rarity said, pausing for a moment. "What were you in your past life Phoenix? It surely didn't look like a pony to me."

"Ah...I'd thought you'd forget about that. A trip down memory lane." Phoenix said. "I was a human, an evolution of ape. There are many types of humans with two classifications. One's mortal, and the other is witch."

"So, I see what Twilight said about you being dangerous."

Phoenix stopped eating and looked Rarity right into her eyes. "I swear I will never lay a hoof on anypony here. Celestia kinda made me."

Rarity chuckled. "First good thing she's done in a long time."

"I mean it Rarity. The last thing I want is one of my best friends being hurt." Phoenix said honestly. He cut another peace off of his egg, and then finnished his tea, before he pushed his plate away from his spot at the table.

Feeling refreshed, he stood up, and closed his eyes. Rarity saw in amazement as his robe wove itself over his body out of thin air. Phoenix looked back at Rarity, who's jaw was hanging low. He turned back, walking outside to see a crowd of ponies circling around a light blue mare with a pointy hat, and long starry cape.

"Come one, come all to see the amazing TRIXIE!" She yelled.





As the train screeched to a stop at the Crystal Kingdom's train station. The only ponies on it were Luna, and a couple of her bat-pony night guards. They were visiting for a talk about Celestia's plans. Luna was starting to get worried about her sister, thinking she was becoming corrupt.

They walked on a path way, lead by their escort Flash Sentry.

"Princess I welcome you to the Crystal Kingdom. Queen Cadence has been waiting to speak to you since your rampage."

"I assure you I won't do anything too awful."

"Too, is the underlining word in that sentence." Flash sighed.

"Excuse me?" A bat-pony asked flying up, and past Flash, stopping him. "You do not speak that way to our princess!"

"Settle down Loybella, we are guests in their land, we should show more respect to them." Luna scolded.

"B-but princess he insulted your word." Loybella said, trying to defend herself.

"I said its alright, now let him finish escorting us to the castle."

Loybella was about to say something, but sighed, giving up. "Yes princess..." She said moving out of the way.

When they got inside the main walls, Luna looked concerned about how large their walls were. They were as big as the castle itself, and thick as one hoofball field. The tunnels were on the sides, lined with torches lighting the way. Even her guards looked slightly afraid.

After they passed the walls it was only a ten minute walk to the castle, where Cadence smiled with a bow.

"Welcome Princess Luna, I'm glad you made it here safely."

"Why do you say that?" Luna asked. 

"We've have large walls for a reason princess." She said with dread in her voice. "Come, lets talk over with some tea."

Cadence turned, walking inside with the others. They stopped when they got to the baths.

"Have you ever tried a crystal bath? They are wonderful for keeping your coat nice, and shiny."

Luna shook her head. "Can't say I have. After all, the moon doesn't have any water on it."

"Oh, sorry, come bath and tea." Cadence said. "Your guards are welcome to join us. However Flash because you're the only stallion, your staying out."

"Yes your highness." He said closing the door.

"You two can set your armor over there, and then you can join."

"We thank you for this." They said bowing.

"Because they work so hard, they hardly get to rest. Evil works in the shadows of the night." Luna said, stepping slowing into the bath. Moaning as the water started to clean her coat. The feeling of the water felt like she was getting a full body massage. It relaxed her entire body.

"I know right." Cadence said. "It gets less intense the more you have them."

"Like sex?" A guard asked stepping into the bath, along with Loybella.

"Exactly like sex, and as the princess of love, sex is exactly like a crystal bath." Cadence laughed.

"So back to what we were talking about earlier..." Luna started.

"Those two can be around?"

"They are my most trusted guards. I think they can stay."

"Alright, so anyways. I think I know what Celestia is up to, but to be sure I need to know what's going on."

"Phoenix has started to give off light pulses of magic that is different from our world's. There hasn't been anything like this before so we have had it closely monitored twenty-four seven. As for Twilight after I got your letter, her magic is stable except for the random fluctuations every so often. This happens when she gets close to Phoenix." Luna said.

"As her royal guards we've been watching them while they sleep to see if their waves get close." Loybella said.

"How do you see this?" Cadence asked.

"We have enhanced sight from normal ponies."

"She's right, they do." Luna said.

"So what of Celestia?"

"She's had Phoenix impregnate her, but erased the memory of the deed."

"What!?" Cadence asked, jumping up from her spot in her bath. "There hasn't been an alicorn baby in-"

"Two thousand years, I know." Luna sighed. "She hopes that with Phoenix around alicorns will regrow."

Cadence scoffed as she laid back in her bath. "I think she's getting too old."

"I worry as much as you do about her. Now, what about your walls?"

"You like them?" She asked. "We've been getting word of two warring kingdoms nearby that they will try to take my own. As we speak my husband is trying to talk them into peace."

"Who's fighting?"

"The Griffins, and the Deer."

"The Deer? No way, they speak of peace whenever they visit us." Luna said. "Why would they be?"

Cadence shrugged. "From what I've been hearing most leaders of kingdoms are panicking over something."

"Except us..." Luna said. "Loybella, Tallia."

"Yes?" They asked.

"Infrom the rest of the night guard to increase the search by eight sectors."

"Forgive me princess, but if we do that, the Galesponies will be angered." Tallia stated.

"It's a risk, but we need to be protected. The safety of the children are the up most importance."

"Yes....you are correct."

"Children?" Cadence asked.

"My sister, and I think differently Cadence." Luna said. "She thinks of them as subjects, however I take a motherly approach to the them. I teach them in their dreams, and help them solve their problems."

"You'd make a wonderful mother then." Cadence smiled as she was getting out of the bath. Luna and her guards did the same.

"We thank you for this greatly." The guards said bowing to Cadence.

"Take it as a friendly gesture." She replied. "Princess Luna, please visit with these two more often. It's not everyday a couple of beautiful Ty'thains get to bathe with me."

The guards smiled at the complement.

"I shall, and I'll return with any new information."

"Goodbye Luna, Loybella, and you Tallia."

"Thanks for having us."





Phoenix laughed as hard as he could at the performer standing on a small stage. It launched fireworks into the air. As much as he laughed, ponies around him "booed" the mare. Throwing tomatoes at her. They stopped when the mare on stage ended. She cried softly to herself, that's when Phoenix stopped.

Confused on why she was hated, he slowly walked up to her.

"Just....just leave me..." She cried as Phoenix got close.

His head tilted, and he moved closer.

"What's wrong? I thought it was fun to watch." He smiled, sitting next to the light blue mare, covered in tomatoes.

"Where ever I go...I'm treated like nothing...trash..." She said. "You're lying to make my cry aren't you?"

Phoenix shook his head. "Nah...I think the only time to lie is when you want hide something." He said. "So how come they hate you so much?"

"Twilight Sparkle...." She hissed evilly. "She humiliated me infront of everypony... Her and her fancy magic."

"Ah...so it's personal eh...Well, if it helps any I thought your illusion magic was fun to watch. Like a lazer light show."

"R-really?"

"Yeah, who taught you that stuff...um..what's your name?"

"My name is Trixie, and my teacher was Celestia."

"Really? How many students did she have she have?"

"Three, but how did you know?"

"Just a hunch...let's just say your names here are like your talents..." He answered. "I thought though your show was nice."

"Thanks..Oh!" Trixie was surprised when Phoenix gave a hug. "Wha-"

"Hugs bring happiness, as long as they hate you, don't go showing off tallent you don't truely have. Don't lie about what you've done, or going to do. Being honest is key to happiness."

Trixie returned the hug, and they ended looking at the sun, as it got ready to set.

"Thanks for that..."

"It's also nice to apologise to Twilight for blaming her for your troubles. You brought hate upon yourself." He said as the wind blew  through his mane. It had felt like to him someone whispered into his ear. Saying something, words he heard were, Change is good brother....  Phoenix smiled. "Yeah...change..."

"Huh?"

"Nothing..."

From afar, Twilight watched from some bushes nearby. Two little tears flowed down her face.

"No..." She said to herself in a whisper.
