I turned my head to the origin of the noise, a light yellow pony with a pink mane; she cowered a bit under my glare. RainbowDash and the others had also turned to her, and I could sense they were watching me, waiting. I narrowed my eyes the pony shying back more.

“I…um...oh” said the pegasus, obviously at a loss of words.

“State your business, I’m on a very tight schedule, and AppleJack has wasted enough of my time” I said. She didn't answer, I snorted.

“C’mon Dash”

“She’s not going with you” Twilight said aura surrounding her horn

“Yes I am” RainbowDash said her head down “I have no choice”

“Then we’re c’mon with you sugarcube” AppleJack looked at me “and you can’t stop us”

I waved a hoof “I don’t care who comes along, I just need to get to Hayfield” I stated rather angrily and began walking towards an abandoned train station Dash by my side, head down. The others followed whispering among themselves until Twilight came galloping up.

“According to the many maps I've seen of Equestria, there is no a town named Hayfield”

“I wouldn't appear on any of your maps”

“Why not?”

I smiled “you’ll see”

The abandoned train station came into view, I smiled as we stepped onto the platform a dead train in front of us.

“All aboard” I said prying open the door, and greeted with scream when they all were inside. I chuckled stepping into the car, blood smeared the walls a few rotten bodies of dead ponies still sitting where they died. They all stared at the bodies, the blood. All except Dash, for her this was standard when around me. None of them dared to speak.

“Heh- the best part is yet to come” I assured them with a smile and kicked a lever, the train jolted forward.

-5 hours 2 minutes and 35 seconds later-

Silence enveloped the entire ride, nopony daring to speak leaving the creak of the wheels as the only sound. I smiled flipping on an intercom.

“If you all please look to the right you will see the amazing town of Hayfield” I said all of them complying and moving to the right of the cart. What they saw was no town, building were crumbling, acts of arson could be seen, broken carts strewing in the streets there wears long gone as well as their owners. Bodies where everywhere, the streets covered in sticky crimson long dried.

“What…What happened here?” Twilight managed to stutter

“He happened” Rainbow answered.

“You mean...Sliver did this?”

Dash nodded solemnly “he lived her once, but after what he went through I can’t blame him for what he did”

“What he went through?” Twilight said, curiosity spiking her voice

Dash sighed looking up into the sky, the sunlight penetrating the clouds in only certain spots, washing the eerie town in a silvery yellow light.

“It started back when we were 3...”
