Fallen Crown, Rising Sword

It's amazing, really, I never thought he could figure out which ponies were my best friends, but even scaring Rainbow out of her wits is pretty impressive. Anyway, these notes, all five, are written the same with the initials of 'IDA' signed at the end of each one. I can already guess what the 'I' stands for.

What perplexes me is why he would make two visits in one night. From what the girls told me, they each saw him a separate night, but made time to see me after seeing RD. It doesn't seem logical to me, but then again, with him it never really is.

Elsewhere...

Infinity's eye snapped open, his other eye may have been covered, even though it was still good, he found it useful to keep the right covered. He sat cross-legged on top of an old building. He could here small rubble fall off the broken structure from time to time. Often gunshots in the distance, and....

Tap-tap tap-tap-tap tap-tap

And something approaching from behind. Running up the building. Infinity stayed in his meditation pose, bringing his hands to the handle of one of his most rusted allies, Insanity Edge. Slowly, his claws wrapped around the canvas covered handle, gripping it tight,

"Edge..." Infinity said.

"Yes Sire?" The sword replied, her voice always in his head.

"Go pole-arm, I think we have company."

A short moment after his words, a creature the size of a big cat, if not bigger, leapt from behind. A roar came out and Infinity was quick to bring the once katana to the creatures mouth. Once it bit down, the handle of Edge stopped its jaws from reaching Infinity. Infinity pressing hard against his weapon, helping keep the creature away.

"I hate stalkers." Infinity muttered, his legs delivering a powerful kick.

The stalker flew a few yards away from Infinity, allowing him to get up and ready himself. He gazed upon the beast before him. A quarrel he had not with this creature, but with another being. The stalker charged with a hiss, its head down for a ram. Infinity jumped, a flat part of the blades colliding with the side of the creature's head before his feet came crashing down into its back. A cloud of dust erupted from the roof they were on.

"I have no fight with you, beast. My fight belongs with that of time immemorial." Infinity stated, stepping off the beast.

The stalker whipped its head around, a loud collision came from its jaws, but bit down on nothing. Dumbfounded, the stalker looked around, no sign of Infinity, not even a trace. Until a drop kick was delivered from the side, sending the creature tumbling to the edge.

The building they were on was the tallest in what was left of one of its great cities. The skyscraper overlooked most of the buildings and by default, would take hours to climb by hand. If anyone were Infinity, it'd take mere minutes to just fly up. Which in any case, there was one whole Infinity dealing with a rather obnoxious stalker at the current time.

A screech emerged from the stalker, taking another charge at its 'prey.'

"You've forced my hand." Infinity struck edge into the ground, sparks flew out.

In a simple movement, Infinity summoned an invisible force and pushed the creature to the edge. He thrust his palms forward again, the final wave burst forth from his hands. The stalker knocked clear off the ledge and sent spiraling in a one-way trip to the street. Infinity tilted his head and grimaced under the cloth covering his face. From where he stood, he heard the crush and splat of the stalker he sent over the edge. He didn't enjoy it, but it has to be done sometimes.

"Edge." Infinity spoke again.

"Yes sire?"

"Journal entry number... 3729, Home..." Infinity began.

He looked on to the horizon as he spoke. His eye grazing across the desolated landscape of his once home. His birth dimension, his origin. Now it lay as a wasteland, very little vegetation covering the ground, There were surviving settlements, small, frequently raided by bandits and such, but even then, that is a story for another time. Infinity finished up his little monologue of a journal entry.

"Do you think it's time?" Infinity asked.

"Time for what?"

"Time for a return to Equestria. I think I'm ready." Infinity went on.

"That would be up to you, sire. You have been getting stronger for the past two years."

"Yeah... but first." Infinity got down to his knees, making a perfect triangle with his hands, and mumbled something, finishing his hushed words with, "Per il mondo"

Infinity took a few steps back, the feeling of a smirk crossing his face. Then, he broke into t full-on run for the edge of the building, as he neared, he leapt. Over the side he went and down. The wind tearing through his clothes and hearing. Wings sprung forth from his back, and broke into a glide. This is why he is know as a wasteland legend here, this is what he wanted from this realm. To be know as the winged one. To inspire those striving to survive.
