The light, the dark, and the being between them

“I need to ask you this. Why this unicorn needs to come with us?” a cyan Pegasus with magenta eyes, a colored mane and with a mark of a cloud and a colored thunder in his flank asked to that lavender alicorn referring to that white unicorn. They and other 4 ponies (Including AppleJack) and 1 purple-green dragon were in a train heading to Canterlot to see the princess.

“Again Rainbow,” the alicorn said a little irritated “this unicorn has a strange energy; it can be the reason of the events that happened last night”

“Oh yeah? What events Twilight?” the Pegasus now known as Rainbow asked again.

“I felt a similar energy when I was sleeping, and in the morning, the princess sent me a letter to come here, I think she want to talk about this” the lavender pony now known as Twilight answered Rainbow´s question.

“And you think this unicorn have a connection in this event?” said a white unicorn with a purple hair, blue eyes and a mark of 3 blue diamonds.

“Of course Rarity, I believe it” Twilight answered to the unicorn now known as Rarity.

“And do we have to go very early?” complained the purple dragon.

“Come on Spike! Don´t start” Twilight said with a little irritated voice.

“But we haven´t had breakfast!!” replied the dragon know known as Spike.

“We´ll eat when we arrive” she tried to calm him.

Meanwhile, in the dormitory, the white unicorn started to wake up.

“Huh? What? Where?” this were his first words before he looked around to find himself in a train.

“Looks like my plan worked, I’m back, and back to my form” he said with a calm voice, something changed in him, and this change was in his flank, he had a mark with two crossed swords, one have a golden handle and a shiny silver blade, whilst the other had a dark purple handle and a black blade. He started to explore with his view where he was.

“A…¿train?” he guessed.

Suddenly, the doors opened revealing the lavender alicorn Twilight.

“Oh, you´re awake finally” she said with a smile, but that smile faded when she felt that energy again, the same but stronger.

“Considering your wings and horn, I guess that you are a new princess” the unicorn said calmed after he turned his head to face her.

“W-what?” Twilight was a little shocked about the unicorn´s behavior, just for a few hours he acted like he never met a talking pony, or that´s what her friend AJ said.

“That train goes to Canterlot Right?” he asked

.

“Y-y-yes” she answered still shocked.

“Good” he sighed relieved, “I need to talk to Celestia and Luna about something”

“About what?” Twi asked

“Nothing of your concern” he answered “I have to go now, if not, my energy will be drained because of this bad connection to him guide him until you reach to the castle” after this, he fainted again and his mark disappeared.

“What?” Twilight barely asked herself with a WTF face.

Two hours later, the train stopped in the station, and after thirty minutes the group was in the castle waiting for the princess with the fainted unicorn in the doors of the throne room.

“And that happened” Twilight finished her explanation to her friends.

“Weird, in home that unicorn acted like he was in another world” said AppleJack.

“That´s make no sense, it could be a mental problem” Rarity commented.

“And what about his Cutie Mark?” Twilight objected the commentary. “I saw a cutie mark of two swords, AJ, remind me the Cutie Mark you saw”

“Um…it was like a pix elated microphone and a ramrod” AJ remembered the mark when she tried to cure him after the crash.

“Pix elated? Ooohhhh…I´m never heard about a Cutie Mark like this, I think that is super-duper awesome, I wonder what could It mean!” exclaimed a pink pony with a puffy pink mane, blue eyes and a now known as Cutie Mark of 3 balloons.

“Well…I…think he´s cute” said quietly a yellow Pegasus with a pink mane, blue eyes and a Cutie Mark of 3 pink butterflies hopping that no one could hear her.

“What?” asked Twilight

“EEP!” exclaimed her with a blush in her face. “N-Nothing!!”

“So, any questions?” Rainbow asked to them.

“Just one” Twilight answered. “Why he needs to talk to Celestia and Luna?”

“Ugh my head…” the unicorn showed live signs to the group of ponies and a dragon, and when he opened his eyes he saw them. “…GAH!!! AGAIN THE WEIRD WORLD OF FREAKING TALKING PONIES!!!”

“Here we go again…” AJ sighed.

“What happened to the shut up thing?!” he snapped.

“Listen sugarcube, ah´m not goin´ to resist this, so, calm down and get over it!” AJ complained a little more irritated. After a few seconds, he sighed.

“…Fine, I´ll relax but not entirely until I know my family is alright” the unicorn said already calmed.

“Thanks” the farmer said relieved, “So what´s your name?”

“The name of your friends first, I don´t trust anyone until I heard a little of it”

“Ok then” the lavender alicorn said convinced, “My name is Twilight Sparkle, librarian and princess of the magic and the dragon in my back is my assistant dragon Spike”

“I´m Rainbow Dash, the fastest Pegasus in Equestria” the cyan pegasus presented herself.

“It´s a pleasure darling, my name is Rarity, the most important fashionista in Ponyville” the white unicorn presented herself with an elegant tone.

“HI! Nice to meet ya! My name is Pinkie Pie! Do you like parties? Do you? Oh sorry, I forgot my principal interest by now, ok, here I go again, I´m a baker, the best ever! WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!! Want a cupcake?” the pink pony presented herself with a hyperactive attitude with a cupcake in her hoof.

“Umm…why not?” he said when he grabbed the cupcake with a sheepish smile.

“Umm…umm…hello, m-my name is Fluttershy” the yellow presented herself with an almost audible voice.

“Umm…come again?” the unicorn asked.

“Sorry, she is too shy” Twilight came for support. “Her name is Fluttershy, she is a veterinarian”

“So, now can we know your name now” AJ asked.

“…alright, I can see you are trustful” he said convinced, he can know if somebody is trustful just looking in the eyes, he always liked this ability “My name is Terrence, I´m still studying”

“Terrence? What kind of weird name is that” said Twilight.

“What kind of weird name is Twilight Sparkle” Terrence countered.

“Touché” she said a little defeated.

“Well, I see you are calmed now” Rarity observed Terrence´s behavior.

“Just a little, I´m still worried about my family”

“Your family?”

“Yeah, my mom, dad, and my 2 older brothers, they are the most precious to me”

“AAWWWWW how adorable”

“I just hope they´re all alright…I feel it…”

“So…Terrence, if you say that you aren´t a pony, then what the heck are you?” Twilight asked to him.

“I´m happen to be a human, but by somehow, I´m transformed in a freaking colored little hor…I mean, pony”

“Humans? Like the mythology” Rarity said.

“Unicorns and pegasus are supposed to be” he countered.

“Oh! I´m almost forgot” Twilight asked again. “Do you remember the travelling in the train?”

“Train?”

“Hhmmm…interesting” the alicorn thought. “In the train he acted calmly and his energy went stronger, now he is like AJ told me, but I still feel this crossed energy”

Her train of thoughts was broken when appeared a big explosion of yellow energy around the castle, strangely, nothing happened.

“What was that” Twilight was confused, what was that? And his doubts were vanished when she saw Terrence fainted again.

“A darkness-elimination spell?” she thought. “This must be why he fainted, I think he can´t stay awake without it”

“What happened to him?” that was the only Rainbow can say.

Suddenly, the doors of the throne room opened and revealed a white alicorn with a pink-green-blue waving mane and tail, magenta eyes and a Cutie Mark of a sun.

“Greetings, my little ponies” the alicorn said with a calm voice, then, she noticed the fainted unicorn and frown. “So, this is the pony?”

“Yes princess, but, why did you threw that spell Celestia?” Twilight asked to the pony now known as Celestia.

“Just for security” she answered before she gazed to Terrence once again

“We…can´t…give up…now…we…need…to find…Terrence” Liz said between gasps before she and the others of the group fainted with all the sweat and scratches and the injuries that the creatures of the forest gave them. In the middle of this dark and spooky forest, suddenly, two shadows appeared in front of the fainted family

“Ugh…I guess that be fainted is something natural” Terrence woke up again to see that he was in a dark room with an only lamp and chained to the wall so he can´t move.

“W-W-WHAT THE FUCK?!” He screamed as he was forcing to scape.

“Is useless” a female voice appeared in the dark room.

“Who’s there!?”

“I´m going to ask here, you only respond” from the shadows, appeared the white alicorn. “Now, what is it that you're planning?”

“W-What?! E-Excuse me, b-but  I-I” Terrence tried to talk but he was very scary do this easily.

“Don´t try to fool me!” she snapped as her horn glowed with a yellow aura, soon, the boy started to glow too and he yelled in pain and agony, it was like fire in all the body, one minute later, the glowing disappeared and Terrence breathed heavily, recovering from the terrible experience that passed a little ago.

“Now answer!” the alicorn threatened with his horn ready.

Terrence stayed quiet with not knowing what to do.

“L-listen” he finally talked with tears forming in his eyes and slipping to his cheeks “I-I´m not going to do anything bad, I j-just wanna go home, please”

“Don´t lie!” the alicorn snapped again and her horn glowed again, Terrence closed his eyes to feel the pain again, but before that, he heard a third voice.

“If you don´t wanna feel the torture spell again borrow me the control of the body” looks like the voice came from his mind, and he remembered this voice when he was in that black space. His train of thoughts was broken when he felt the fire inside his bode again and yelled like it was the last day.

“If you don´t talk, I´m going to continue this” the alicorn said when she removed the spell.

“B-borrow…the c-control?” Terrence said exhaust for the spell, the white tall pony only raised an eyebrow.

“Yes, just give me at least 5 minutes” the voice said again.

“O-Okay, b-but, how I´m going to do this?”

“Just leave this to me” suddenly, Terrence started to fell more weak and fainted like the fourth time, then, his glowed with a brown aura and started to change to black, and his Cutie Mark of the 2 instruments changed for the two swords.

After this, he opened his eyes, but his expression of fear and agony changed for one serious face.

“It´s been a while, Celestia” he said to the pony.

“Who are you?!” Celestia asked ready to make his horn glow again.

“Don´t you remind me?...Tia”

“Hmm?”

“Let me clear you with this” he said and stopped for a few seconds, and then he talked again. “When the light blind, the darkness illuminates”

Celestia kept her eyes wide open, she remembered these words, and also, remembered what pony said this, it was this unicorn.

“M-moon…Moonlight Shadow?” she barely asked.

“How´s Luna and Cadence?” he asked with a smile in his face.
