1.Trottingham

"We are gathered here today to thank a stallion named Dante Starfall Knight. He was a great son,nephew,and brother." Celestia said as she wiped her tears from her eyes.

Your funeral everyone in Equestria mourning your passing. Pinkie was taking it the worst she was the first pony you had a relationship with and you promised to give her what she wanted.

Twilight your first and best friend couldn't even think because of the time of your passing. You enjoyed the time with your friends and family.

Your father had an emotionless expression he had his hat tipped down as he looked towards the ground his arms crossed.

"Dante's young sister would like to say a few words." Celestia said as she walked off the stage as Haley walked towards the podium.

"Thank you aunt Celestia. Thank you all for coming my brother once told me that you can't take the fight out of a kid. He told me that when I felt depressed I was in a bad state and he did his best to keep me happy and introduced me to his friends and my friends. He did almost anything to help me or anyone in a simliar situation. I know that he was troubled from the start the things he did in the past that's just it the past." Haley started to shake as she looked down her tears ran down her cheeks she quietly exhaled.

Robert looked up to see his daughter too afraid to move. Robert was a man that was different he rarely showed emotions and almost never cried but this was too much his own sons fought to the death for superiority.

Robert sighed as he walked towards the stage and hugged her. She hugged back as she gripped her father's coat jacket she wiped her tears on her jacket as Robert brushed her aquamarine mane.

"D-daddy I can't...I can't do it, it's...it's too hard. Why did he have to die why?" She said to Robert.

"It's okay sweetheart." She continued to sob as her father brushed her mane.

A month later...

You opened your eyes to see the branches covered in snow. You slowly move your arm as you looked to your side the gauntlet was the only thing you had on you started to move your fingers as you regained feeling in your hand.

You slowly sat up to see Virgil your little brother's eyes closed as he huddled over a small fire. You slowly kneeled and stood up to see that someone had started a small camp around you and your brother.

You walked towards the fire and placed another branch on the fire making the heat heighten. You looked at your outfit to see that you still had the same outfit from before your suit was ripped but still covered you. The scabbards were intact with both knives and gauntlets now on your person.

"So you're finally awake." You heard a voice say to you.

You quickly grabbed both your knives and turned.

"Whoa easy there killer I'm not here to fight. Look my names Fragment what's yours?" He asked as he slowly approached you.

"Uh Dante." You say to him not lowering your guard.

"I see well Dante I've been checking yours and your friend's wounds so far I see no infection whatsoever. So you're free to walk but try to take it easy when running ya know don't want re-open those wounds." He said to you as he tossed you a mango.

You began to peel the fruit as you took a bit of the juicy fruit. You sat down on a log as he examined you.

"What?" You asked as you took another bite.

"You remind me of someone from my past." He said with a slight chuckle

"What do you mean?"

"Well you remind me of a girl I use to know she was smart,beautiful,and a little shy. Your cutiemark reminds me of her too."

"My cuitemark?" You looked towards the back of your hand as you spotted a paw print with a crescent moon in the background.

"You seem to be pretty calm in your current situation. Even in your comatose state you were in a calm like state."

"That was because I was training." You said looking at your hand.

"Really? What were you studying?" He asked leaning closer to the fire.

"I learned a few things like this move shadow phase. It's like I can phase through solid objects with ease and I feel as if I'm the alpha wolf of these wolves who follow me around."

"Seems you're good with dark magic very rare in a young man like yourself."

"Young man, what the hell are you talking about you're the same age as me." You informed him

"I'm more than ten thousand years old Dante. Trust me I've seen things you can only imagine." He said a small frown across his face.

"Okay so where are we exactly?"

"Trottingham more specifically the deep forest." You looked around and walked over to a tree you looked at a branch as you hoisted yourself up and began to long trek up the large tree.

"What are you doing!" Fragment shouted as he leaned on the very tree you were on. You didn't answe as you closed your eyes and used aura vision. Even though the snow was thick as you looked at the clouds being moved towards the city.

As you entered aura vision you spotted several ponies in the city. You jumped down and witnessed Fragment put more wood in the fire.

You wanted to ask Fragment about his past if he truly was ten thousand years old, he would've seen a lot and heard a lot.

You sat down on the log and huddled closer to the fire. You looked at Fragment who looked at your brother.

"So how old's your brother?" He asked

"Thirteen." He looked at you and nodded.

"Yeah, seems like the right age so what brings you to Trottingham?"

"I was fighting a family member he was trying to uh murder me." He looked at you and chuckled a small dragon flew out of his pocket a dragon you've never seen before not even one that looked like it belonged in Equestria. It had black colored scales,two brown horns with crimson colored eyes.

"His names cuddles." The small dragon flew up to his shoulder as he petted his scaly friend.

You nodded as you looked at your brother you walked over to him and placed him closer to the fire letting him gain more heat. You worried for your sibling and need him to feel warm.

Canterlot...

"Haley? Are you awake?! We're going to be late."

"In a minute!" She shouts as Raiden hears shelves move.

He chuckles and waits by the door while turning to Haley's new personal guards.

"What about you girls? Are you ready?" He asked Mosaic and Flare since Dante's death they felt bad and almost quit the royal guard until Raiden ask them to stay and keep protecting Haley in Dante's name and as his last orders.

They both nodded and waited as Haley opened the door with her magic.

Once she's out Raiden approaches her to readjust her new royal tiara and hug her as good luck.

"You're becoming beautiful every day that passes cousin, very soon I'll going to ask the girls to give you classes on how to choose a stallion." Raiden chuckle a bit

"Ewwww no I don't want colts looking at me like that." She says with slight disgust

They all chuckle for a bit before Raiden takes her hand and grabs her bag.

"Ok before we board the train I think we should go and say goodbye to mom and aunt Luna, have you already decided what you want to do in the winter wrap up?"

"I'm not sure, but I'm ready for anything!" She says happily

They walk the hallway until they reach the gardens where they found Luna and Robert looking at the graves, and Celestia close to them

"Mom." Raiden said to Celestia to get their attention.

"Haley and I are leaving, we'll be back later."

"Oh of course goodbye son." Celestia said with a smile

Haley walked towards her parents to say say goodbye as well

"I still can't believe its only been a month since I failed, if only I weaken him a bit more they probably…"

"Do not blame yourself it was a misfortune that had happened."

"That's true but that fact that it happened…poor Haley, I think she got more of the pain that day, she lost both of her brothers."

"She's fairing better then a few weeks ago and her magic has increased tenfold." Celestia mentioned

"I know, we've been practicing for days, I just couldn't bare the though of her being like that, I'm so happy I at least helped her ease the pain."

"At least you're being a substitute brother to her."

"Well I don't think I'd go that far, but at least I could compete for the cousin of the year award, by the way, is there another cousin? cosign Mi Amore I think it was."

"You really have to get better with names Raiden." Celestia said face palming

"What, why? did I say it wrong?" In that Haley could approached and hug Raiden,

"Hey, princess, ready to go?" He said with a smile as he return the hug and look at Luna and Robert approaching

"Yes sir I'm ready!" She said happily.

He smile and lift her up on his shoulders before turning to princesses.

"We'll return at 9."

They both smiled and nodded as the pair walked away. As they reach the train station they discuss what they are going to do.

"Remember before we start we are going to see our niece and see how Da…the girls are holding, once we finish we going straight to Zecora's and continue to practice the spell before coming back, agree?"

"Yeah let's go!" She said with a weak smile as she quickly changed her expression.

"I miss him too Haley, and I'm proud of you, that hug just sold it." He chuckled a bit

"We are a great team don't you think?"

"Yeah but I think we shouldn't talk about Dante in Ponyville Pinkie gets weird when someone mentions him."

"Yeah since he left she's been getting clingy to you and Apple Night, all of a sudden, maybe Dante told her something that altered her, anyway, remember if she gets to friendly, just mention frosty cake, I discovered that always makes her space out." The train arrives at that moment and Haley return her act and grab Raiden hand

"Just to be clear, is this part of the act or do you really enjoy spent time with me? Don't worry you can be honest." Raiden says

"I really do enjoy being with you. You're like my bro.. I mean best friend."

He smiled and held her close to him as the train started.

"And I enjoy being with you Haley, from the start you were the first that let me in your heart the moment I was back, I never could thank you enough for that."

"You don't have to you're my best friend." She said with a smile.

Trottingham...

"Where am I?" Virgil asked as he looked at you and Fragment.

"Deep forest Virgil." You say to him as he walked over to you and hugged you

"Are the nightmares gone Dante?" He asked

"Don't worry Virgil they're gone." You say to him as you brushed his mane.

"I hate to break up this moment but we gotta get into town with the food I brought I didn't think you'd wake up so I only got a few crates."

"Alright let's go." He nodded as you held Virgil's hand walking down the trail.

Ponyville...

"Vinyl, Octavia!" Raiden call their attention

"Oh hey there Raiden." Octavia says with a smile

"I really hope you don't mind us helping out with Winter Wrap Up Haley and I just though we should pay another visit to our niece and…, see how the girls are holding up."

"Yeah it's no problem it's pretty good that you're visiting." Vinyl mentions

"Thanks uh we're on our way to the farm would you like to join us? We can catch up, what has happened since our last visit."

"Sure thing!" Vinyl says as she walks forward with Raiden,Haley,and Octavia.

Raiden grabbed a small bag he had by his side and held it close to him. Haley smiled as she held Raiden's hand. They walked towards the farm as they step up the trail they spot Apple Night happily throwing seeds in the holes of new crops being put in place.

"Howdy there Raiden!" AJ says happily as Raiden shakes her hand.

"Hey AJ I gotta give Apple Night her gift then I'll be ready to get rid of some snow."

"Alright you'll be on west side with Big Mac." She walked off as Apple Night ran towards her uncle and aunt.

"Aunt Haley!" She said happily as she gave her a big hug.

"What no love for your uncle?" Raiden asked mocked hurt

"I missed you too silly head." She said giggling as she was carried into Raiden arms.

"Oh me and your aunt have a present for you sweetheart." Raiden put down Apple Night and reached into the bag.

"Close your eyes okay sweetheart." She nodded and closed her eyes holding her hands together.

Raiden pulled out a dark brown hat like AJ and a emerald necklace. He placed the hat atop her head and wrapped the necklace around her neck.

"Open your eyes sweetheart." Apple Night slowly opened her eyes and screamed with happiness as she jumped into her uncle's arms.

"Thank you,thank you,thank you uncle Raiden and aunt Haley!" She said happily

"Your welcome sweetheart. I have to go now okay be a good girl." She nodded as she walked back into her home. Raiden walked off into the fields getting ready for work.

Haley smiled as she walked with Vinyl and Octavia towards the forests to help Fluttershy with the animals from the hibernation period.

Trottingham...

As you walked down the trail of Trottingham you looked towards the train tracks to see the tracks iced over by either the snow or a sheet of ice.

"Damn." You mumbled as you walked towards the center of the city.

"I'm going to get supplies go get your brother and yourself some clothes." You nodded as you walked towards local boutique as you entered the warmth of the store engulfed you.

"Ah welcomes here sit what can I get ya?" A southern sounding girl asked

"Uh me and my brother here want some new clothes we'd like to get a fitting." She nodded as she took your brother to another room and order a stallion to take to another.

"Mmh what do we have here?" He said with a chuckle

"Uh hey so you're going to measure me?" You asked

"Of course sweetie don't worry we'll get this done super fast." He said with a giggle.

You looked at his attire and saw he wore a flamboyant. His vest had small sparkles in them and his hat had glitter in it. His pant were pretty normal aside from the chaps he was wearing.

He began by your leg as he used measuring tape and measured your legs. He also measured your waist and took your measurement.

He seemed pretty happy about the situation you weren't uncomfortable with situation since you've met with gay couples before you didn't care if someone liked the same gender you were okay with that since from your conversation with him he seems like a pretty good guy.

"So you gotta special mare in your life?" He asked

"Mares actually I have a medium sized herd ya know mares who I've attracted by my charms." You said smugly

"Ya mean your dick?" He asked

"Well yeah I'm trying to be subtle here."

"Right sorry so tell me about the mares what do they like about you?" He asked

"Pinkie Pie a beautiful mare with prettiest pair eyes they're like a clear sky in the morning. Then Fluttershy there's." You listed off your marefriends as he awed in even shedded a few tears because of the wonderful things you said about them.

"You seem like a pretty good guy, you would make a great soulmate." He said with a chuckle as he finished up the measuring processes.

You exited the dressing room and placed the torn jacket back on.

Virgil quickly ran to you and held on to your hand.

"You have a sweet brother sir." The mare said with a smile

"Thanks I try to raise him correctly." You said with a chuckle. As you were going to leave she stopped you as you turned around.

"Oh before you go may we have your name?"

"Daniels." You said to her as you exited the shop and re-entered the snow covered area.

As you walked out of the store you saw that the snow began to fall heavily. You also noticed many ponies run into their homes getting into their warm fireplaces.

"Let's get back to the forest alright I'll try to cook up something when Fragment brings the food." Virgil nodded as he got closer to you.

You walked through the snow has snow began to get heavier and streets began to pour with snow off the sidewalk.

You looked forward to see a mare with blue curly mane and a creme colored coat. She seemed to have trouble walking through the streets.

"Virgil go to the forest and tell Fragment I'll be there in a minute alright." He looked at you and the forest before nodding reluctantly.

You walked forward to see carrying many bags. You walked forward and helped her by grabbing her bags.

She looked at you with curiosity you smiled as she thanked you for your help.

"Thank you sir this weather has been dreadful." She said with a smile

"You're welcome miss." You said with a smile as you continued on to her home.

"Hmm I've never seen you around town are you new here?" She asked

"Yeah my names uh Daniels." You lied

"Milky Way." She faced you as you looked into her emerald colored eyes.

"Well miss Milky I'm glad that I can help." You said to her with a smile

You and Milky didn't have much to talk about you two just walked forward and trudged through the snow.

As you approached her home and gave her the bags and opened the door. She smiled as she put the bags on the counter.

"I should get going goodbye miss Milky." You say to her as you began to walk away from her door.

"It's Milky no need to put the miss in." You nodded and began to run through the streets of Trottingham and into the forest.

As you entered the campsite the snow stopped falling you looked above to see a shield that trapped in the heat and covered you from the snow.

You looked forward to see Fragment glare at you. He seemed pissed that you told Virgil to go home by himself.

"You're being reckless Dante." He said walking towards the crate of food and started cooking up some tomato soup in a sauce pan.

"What do you mean?" You asked walking towards the food and biting into an apple.

"You sent your thirteen yer old brother to the campsite alone. That's fucking stupid he's your damn brother." He said glaring at you.

"Alright sorry I was only walking a mare home that's all." You inform him taking another bite.

"Don't let it happen again Dante he's your only brother alright." You nodded as you looked down

"Look kid I'm just trying to look out for you and your brother until you get back home try to keep it in your pants next time." He said patting your back.

"It wasn't like that I was just trying to help her I may have gained a friend." He nodded and went back to cooking.

Ponyville...

"That was a tiring winter wrap up." AJ said happily as she laid back into her seat in Sugarcube Corner.

"Yup what a stressful day I'm so glad that its done." Raiden said with a chuckle

Apple Night looked down and saw that Raiden was looking at her.

"What's wrong sweetie?" He asked

"Can we talk over milkshakes?" She asked

A few minutes later...

"There you go, a milkshake just the way you like it with extra cinnamon." Raiden says with a smile

"Can I ask you a question uncle?" Apple Night asked as she stirred her milkshake.

"Sure honey, you can ask me whatever you want." He said smiling as he sipped his coffee.

"Have you ever seen someone die before? For some reason I see things that frighten me I wanna tell my mom but she'll think they're only Nightmares and she'd think it was dad's fault." Apple Night soda looking down to her hoofs.

"Oh honey I…I'm so sorry why didn't you tell aunt Luna or Celestia? What you've been seeing must have been related to your alicorn blood. You, as half Alicorn, were born with this…vision in which she or he must have to learn to live with and, with time to control it. Your aunt Haley for example, when I first met her she told me of this power of where she was allowed to interact with fillies and colts, fillies and colts that claim are her future nieces and nephews, after some time we discover it doesn't stop there, she can talk with ponies of the future but only in her dreams. Dante…Dante being the first born has a closer power with Luna and can get into something he call the shadow realm in the beginning he was going in and out with little control until he tried to put it into practice. I…I got this, weird clarity all around the planet when the day shine its like the sun rays fall they became my eyes, its was difficult but after some time I manage to gain control over them. And these nightmares you're seeing…it looks like you've awakened yours sweetie, a very…sad one, or perhaps a very happy one IF you're willing to study and control it." He offers his hand to her.

"I can teach you how if you like?" He asked with a smile

"But how can I control something that I can't even see or use. It happens randomly and when I don't want them to happen."

"Its normal sweetie that's EXACTLY what happened to all of us, I use to get dizzy seeing a thousands images per second while walking at complete and random times, Haley thought that some kids were playing hide and seek with her for weeks, and then got scare when she pass through one of them, she though they were ghosts, Dante, he was going and coming from that realm." He chuckled a bit

"One time it happened when he tried to use the bathroom, he fell to the second floor and then hit the door when he pass through it half way through. The first times? Yeah we don't have any control whatsoever, but you sweetie, you don't have to go through what we did, we can help you, tell you what's happening and finally help you get rid of them until you want them to happen."

"So you can help me get through these weird dreams and stop the killing? I just hate seeing ponies hurt each other." She asked

"Yes and no, you see your powers are more focused on the night realm that's Grandma Luna's and Grandpa Robert's forte, mine is in the day realm, if you want to completely get rid of them they would know exactly what to do, but I can stop them from happening randomly or at the very least to stop the times they happen. I can give you control and help you face your fears as best as I can, but after that, I'm afraid I don't know if I can, but you have my word sweetie, if you need me, I will be there right at your side." He said with a smile

"Thank you for your help."

"Anything for my favorite niece, now come on, what about a little hug." Raiden extended his arms for her

She reaches over and hugs him feeling safe around her uncle.

2.Night

Author's Note

Probably the longest chapter you guys will get or gals depending who reads.

2.Night

You looked around your campsite to see that your brother and new friend were both asleep. You looked at your gauntlet and walked out of the bubble shield as you walked the crunch of the snow below your feet made you smile.

You then felt something in your pocket you slowly removed it to see that it was a picture, a picture of your friends in Ponyville. You sighed and looked at the picture maybe the only memory you have of them.

You were wondering if they had forgotten you and thought of whether or not you should even return to Ponyville. You were far away from any of your friends homes and Ponyville the train had to pass through Apploosa to get to Ponyville.

You shook your head and walked towards the center of town. As you walked down the trail you felt a few snowflakes fall upon your head.

You looked up to see a shadow on a building it seemed hunched over. You look around to see a way up you began to climb up the snow covered building it took only a few minutes to get up from the ground to the highest point. As you jumped over the railing you spotted a young filly her mane light green with light yellow coat.

You slowly approached her and made your presences known.

"Hey, you okay?" You asked

"Whoa! Who are you?" She asked slightly startled

"Not important but what is important is what's bothering you kid? You seem kinda down." You said to the young filly

"Well I'm trying to look for this stallion his name Dante Starfall Knight he's the prince of Equestria and he's the guy I keep getting dreams about." She explained to you that the dreams she's having has turned to her recieving armor and that she's suspose to be your student teaching about the idea of freerunning and swordsmenship.

"Wow seems like a lot to do when you're just a kid. Why do you think you keep getting these dreams." You asked

"I dunno I just wish they'd stop. Ya know I never thought my life would go this far and change into ya know this. I was an orphan ever since I was born don't remember much about the past and I wish I knew my past but they say you can't change everything." She sigh in defeat as she lowers her head on the railing.

"Look kid I understand what you're going through I thought my life would be easy and sane, I was going to reveal to my friends a secret during a special event then something went haywire and ended up messing things up. I just wish I can start all over and be a normal guy but that would never happen again." She looked up at you her icy blue eyes stated at your purple and azure colored eyes. She smiled and hugged you, you patted her back and began to talk to her.

Ponyville...

Meanwhile back at Ponyville Raiden goes towards the farm to explain the situation with Apple Night with AJ and to start her session.

"So as you can see, those nightmares Apple Night is having its actually her body awakening her alicorn magic, and I ordered for her to control it faster I thought it would be better if she could come with me to the castle for awhile, you can visit her anytime you want of course, but I think its for the best, after all my mom and aunt could help her a lot more than me." Raiden finish explaining the situation and his proposition to AJ outside of the house.

"Wait a minute ya want me to give you my only daughter the only pony that I have to remind me of the guy who risked his life to save her and all of us, because of her nightmares and her so called magic?" AJ asked concerned for her daughter's well being

"Not give her up, just…let her stay over…let's call it a long sleepover, a week to be precise, and it will help her get rid of her nightmares and cancel them for the better. I'm only trying to help AJ, that's all." Raiden informs her

"If it helps her forget about those Nightmares then fine I rather have her happy and awake then scared and awake."

"Thank you AJ, if you'd like you can join us, on our way to the castle maybe in her first session so you can see for yourself that she will be more than safe."

"If it helps her learn about her magic then so be it, I'd also like to see Dante's grave again." AJ says with a sigh

He notices how sad she is and turns to Apple Night.

"Sweetie why don't you go pack your bags, I need to talk to your mommy real quick in private, would you go and pack your stuff?" She nods and runs upstairs to pack up.

"AJ…I miss him too, I reallydpm, he saved me from a life of… loneliness, he gave me my mother back, so you can be sure, that I completely understand I feel a lot of pain as well, so if you need someone to talk or heck just a shoulder to cry on you know that I'm always there to listen."

"Thanks but sometimes I feel as if he isn't dead. Like he's alive, but too afraid to come back but that's just a silly dream." Raiden approaches and hugs her.

"There's no such thing as silly dreams AJ, I sometimes think he's alive as well, if it true, or if not I don't know, one way or another, I feel like he's still there, and if he is then we'll find him."

"Maybe you're right he might've not died and we just haven't searched enough." AJ said with a smile

"Let me know when the new search party starts, I will bring the light" He reaches over and hugs her. After a few minutes Raiden releases AJ and smiles.

"Better?" He asked

She nods as she gets up from her chair.

They walk to the front door where they wait for Apple Night to come down. Apple Night happily hugs both adults as she wants to go already.

They chuckle a bit and go towards the train station.

Two hours later...

"Mom, I have great news, or should I say Apple Night has some great news, go ahead sweetie tell her." He motions Apple Night to tell Celestia that she awakened her alicorn magic.

"Wow that's amazing sweetie you've unlocked your magic?" Celestia asked

Apple Night nodded as she weakly smiled.

"Yeah if you can call getting scared magic." She said with a sigh

"Sweetie like I said we all did, its like the prove that they come, and once you control them you'll be able to explore and do the impossible." Raiden pats her back in reassurance.

"All Alicorns pass through this, right mom?" He asked Celestia

"Of course we all had to go through this process Apple Night. You'll find out what you can do once we study the amount of magic you exert." Celestia mentions

"See Apple Night it's all part of growing up." Apple Night nods and sighs she doesn't wanna go through the nightmares anymore but has to trudge through them until she can finally be done with them.

Trottingham...

You looked at Lime Light who looked tired from either you and her talking for most of the night or the cold reaching her skin underneath her coat.

You began your slow descent towards the ground and asked where she lived at. She told you about her home near town and by a farm, a dairy farm to be exact where almost, all of the milk comes from.

As you walked with Lime Light you turned to her home and knocked on the door.

"Wait my friend Milky's home she'll bust me for sure. You have to distract her Daniels!" She said in a hushed whisper

"What do you want me to say? I got nothing." You asked

"Talk to her tell she pretty she gets a lot of attention from stallions, it always works to flatter her but don't mention her uh assets." You gave Lime a weird expression as she ran towards the living room window.

"Oh hello there Daniels. What brings you here?" Milky asked you then understood what Lime Light said when she mentioned assets.

"Well Milky you see I was walking around town and decided to stop by to talk ya know to get to know you a bit more." You said to her

"Well what would you like to know." You looked behind her to see Lime Light tiptoe towards her room.

"Well would you like to go for coffee? Tomorrow morning." You asked

"Well I do have to deliver a few bottles of milk to some customers around town." She informed you

"What time?" You asked

"6:00 in the morning would you like to come with, we'll have some coffee afterwards."

"You walk in the cold to deliver milk?" You asked

"Of course, now would you like to come or not?" She asked

"Sure." You said with a nod.

"Great meet me at town square, oh and don't be late you'll be sorry." She said with a giggle and singsong voice.

"I'll be there don't you worry." You said with a chuckle

Canterlot...

Apple Night,Raiden,and AJ were in a garden that he lead them towards a very large tree that within was well secluded in the depths of the garden.

"Ok as your first session we are going to tap into your realm Night, just tap so we're only going to be there for 5 minutes, understood? just 5 minutes." Raiden warned

Apple Night nods and relaxes her mind and body as she feels a surge of energy passed through her body.

"Wait." Raiden stops her before she goes into her realm.

"I didn't explain how we're going to do this yet, but I will grant you that, that was pretty clever honey." He relax and sit next to a tree

"My powers allow me to show light and clear paths to those that are confused or lost, and as such I can." He lift his hands in front of her.

"Now, we're going to do what you just did, but you'll be holding my hand and sit with your back against my chest. Once you get in contact with your realm I want to do as I say, concentrate on you holding my hand, never I repeat NEVER stop holding my hand. Once you feel you have a good hold on it, I want you to look all around you, your world just look don't stand up, just look at your world." Raiden warned, he turns to AJ

"Applejack once you hold my other hand you will see what Apple Night see, my power will clear the fog in her mind but at the cost that I will not see a thing so you and her will be the only ones there and I'll know only as much as you want to tell me. Any question?"

"No, I'm clear with instructions."

"Ok Night, are you in your realm? Tell me what you see." Raiden said as Apple Night looked forward to see a black and white forest.

"I see a stallion walking in the forest he's with two other ponies. And he looks like he's climbing a tree too."

"Good, remember don't move just keep your hand with mine, now tell me do you see anything else? AJ? Do you see anything too?"

"I see what Apple Night sees and for some reason that stallion's talking with a mare, she's beautiful and has a very uh cute accent."

"Nothing much just some lights. And-" Apple Night stopped mid sentence as she didn't talk only looked forward her eyes had a white hue around them.

"Apple? Apple! focus on my hand, focus on it will all you have, let me be your light, don't let your realm overtake you." He said warning your daughter.

"I see daddy I see him he's alive he's running with a pack of wolves they're following him because her their alpha. Daddy wait!" Apple Night tried to let go of Raiden's hand wanting to go to her father.

"Apple wait! Don't break the connection!" As she loses the grip the fog returns and she can't see anything

"I'm your light honey but if you let me go then you will fall into darkness, this is good sweetie this is a breakthrough AJ, Apple quick concentrate on my hand and try to hug me, I'm bringing you back."

"No! I want my daddy back and I'm going to get him back!" She shouts as she slips from his grip.

"AJ quick, hold her before its too late if I lose her grip she could end up in a coma!" Raiden shouts

AJ quickly grabs Apple Night as she starts crying on the floor entering a fetal position.

Raiden hugs her and all 3 escape her realm.

"Shhhh, its ok honey its ok…you're back with us." He soothed her while she cries.

"Just one more day, honey I only ask you one more day, and then we're going to see your daddy again, so please, please, allow me to help you."

"I want my daddy I want him back he's the only pony who who did anything for me." She says sobbing into her uncle's chest.

"And you'll have him back sweetie I promise, tomorrow first thing in the morning, when we enter our second session, you'll see him again and this time you can go towards him, I promise." She nods as she wipes her tears.

"Good girl now let's go, now that we expelled all the fog on your head, you shouldn't have nightmares for awhile, Aunt Luna could know a thing or two on how to identify your powers." Raiden stand up and offer his hand to her

She frowns and takes his hand she sighs and closes her eyes.

"No, no, we're not going back, it was to follow me back to the castle silly." Raiden has a little chuckle while pointing at the castle.

She weakly smiles walks forward with the two adults as she quietly yawned.

"Tired? yeah it's normal, because a certain filly disobeyed her uncle and try to venture into the unknown she over did her magic before her body adapted properly, seriously Apple Night what you did was dangerous its like trying to do all the chores on the farm all by yourself without taking a single break, good thing your mom stopped you before you did something your body couldn't tolerate." He says to your daughter.

She frowns and looks down not even arguing and agrees that it was stupid of her to do so.

"Its ok, honey it was the head of the moment that all, and if I recall correctly I think a certain mare once tried to work non-stop before you were born." He look at AJ with a little smile

"Right AJ?"

AJ had a blush across her face as she nods.

"Yeah I sorta did that before you were born sweetheart. Your dad and aunt Twilight helped me out after we got things sorted." She says with a chuckle

"See, its was just an accident, just remember to listen to me in our next session, ok?" She nods

"That its my girl, ok, what about we tuck in? It's getting a bit late, AJ you're free to stay the night if you'd like."

She nods and carries her daughter to an extra room at the castle.

Raiden walks towards his room and spots mosaic outside as he lets her enter his room.

"Mosaic, thanks for coming." Raiden says as he entered his room.

"Of course what is it that you need of me?" She asked

"Well when we meet, you told me something about vampire ponies and that I should read one of these books will make me think different of you." He lift the book she was referencing.

"Well I did, and I ask…why is this make any difference? Did you want to kill me, or can you or want to turn me into a vampony?" He ask to her still don't getting the problem.

"Mosaic you're one of the nicest and most beautiful mare I have seen, a book of some murdering pony won't make me think different just because he is a bat pony. Like yourself."

"I didn't say I'd kill you, I was just annoyed by the ponies who produce those books saying all bat ponies are vamp ponies wanting to feast on blood. As I don't disagree with the mythos as I do drink blood but I still can go in the sun and not burn up." She informs her

"Oh so there is also a bit of true on them? Well if its not too much to ask, I would love to know more, to see how its works a bit, and also…well, there IS something that caught my attention, in the book I couldn't help but notice that all of the mares in the book…kind of have a very…lustful side of desires…is that also an exaggeration or…" Raiden ask with a big blush on his face

"That's a fact. But my desires won't happen until a few days from now so I do require a break during that week."

"So that means…that you…wow, and you start…ah…" His blush increase and he clears his throat.

"N-Never mind, of course we can give you a break your stallion or mare" He open the book on a part of the books.

"…Or mares, and stallions." As he close it

"He or she or them are extremely lucky to have you." Raiden says to her

"What do you mean? I'm not seeing anyone I usually tend things on my own until it passes over." She says with a blush

"Oh…oh! Thank god, I mean!, I sort of heard that…not that I though you were…! argh!" Raiden fight with his words try to find the correct ones

"You know what, I think I know the correct way to tell you" He gets closer to her and with delicacy she takes her chin and lifts it up

"Please, allow me to show you, the truth behind my words." He kisses her one passionate and long kiss trying to sum up all his feelings toward her while in his head that she doesn't reject him.

Her eyes widen as she looked forward but slowly closed as she rested her hands on his shoulders. Keeping the kiss in place. Once the kiss ends he looks at her eyes with a kind expression.

"I apologies for so the sudden act, lest my soul have no regrets and my mind is at peace, since the forbidden fruit at least once I could reach, and under the moon of spring I can't help but to ask if my intentions brought glory or misery to such delicate flower, a flower that under such light, her beauty can only be compare to the night itself."

"I don't blame you for what you've done I enjoyed what you did and was relieved that you did that. I felt the same way too but due to my status as a royal guard I can't just go around trying to get a prince such as yourself to like me. I felt as if this whole time you only cared for me as a friend and I wanted more then just some friendship." Mosaic admitted, he smiled and lifts up her chin.

"Mosaic, my little angel of the night, since when did you feelings for me blossom on such way?" He asked curious for when she was attracted to him.

"When you convince me and flare to stay. You helped us through thick and thin and even helped us when Dante passed away." She informed with a smile.

"I didn't want you go and part and also I couldn't bare the feeling of you leaving on such a state, you two of you are my best friends, I couldn't let you go all alone, I needed to help you, in anyway I can, the castle needed you, I need both of you, I couldn't just find replacement you are more than just royal guards, I love both of you I really do, I suppose I too start to have feelings after that day as well." She only smiled and enters another kiss but before they can continue a scroll appears in Raiden's hand.

Raiden gets confused and looks at the scroll and is surprise for what it says

Meet in deep forest by trottingham come alone. It concerns one of your family members.

"A family member? You think it's Dante?" Raiden asked

"I'm not sure but it could be a trap." Mosaic warned

"That's true, but why me? Haley or Apple Night could be better targets, trap or not I need to go, if there is any clue there I need to find out, I'm starting to think Dante is alive this could be him asking for me." Raiden stated

Mosaic feels uneasy about the situation and kisses Raiden telling him to be careful.

"I will, honey I promise I'll be back for Apple next session with Dante or with a clue on where he is." Raiden says with a smile

Deep Forest...

You waited near your campsite you had a small smile across your face as you had an unexpected date with a beautiful mare.

"I admit I'm more than impressed." Raiden walks into view of you while he wore a hood

"But, you will understand my paranoia, how can I be sure you are my real cousin?" He asked

"And why would I send you a letter if I wasn't. Do you think I have something to hide. Regardless I'm happy to see my cousin again." You said with a smile, Raiden take his hood off and smiled.

"it's good to see you too Dante." As they share a hug.

"There's a lot to tell, I don't know where to begin, wait I know Dante Apple Night awakened her powers, she's starting to see visions."

"Visions? What do you mean is she seeing ponies fight and kill each other?" You asked as you experience those before.

"We're not too sure, she told me of nightmares of ponies dying, today we start her session, so she can have more peace but now that her dad is back her visions can stop being so random."

"I don't think so I'm not going back. Not yet at least."

"What? Why? Dante you need to come back, your family needs you your mares need you Pinkie's destroyed without you." Raiden warns

"Looks it's complicated as hell right now and don't you dare say its because of a mare that's secondary, my primary goal right now is to see this young filly who needs my help. So I'm not going till I help her and don't you say a word about our meeting I don't want them interrupting me." You informed him

"Ok but you better keep it in your pants until you... Hey wait a minute why can't you bring her back with you to the castle?" Raiden asked you

"Wait which one the mare or the filly?" You asked

"I mean the filly and what mare?" He asked

"The filly's name is Lime Light all I know about her is that she lives with the mare I'm trying to get wi- I mean trying to get to know."

"Dante! For the love...I'm the one with the lustful mom, how come

I'm the one with morals?!" Raiden sighs and shakes his head

"How gorgeous is she?"

"Her eyes are like sparkling emeralds and her mane beautiful and curly and her coat a very beautiful shade of creme."

"She has big boobs doesn't she?" He asked

"Huh oh yeah didn't notice them, I only cared for her eyes she seemed beautiful the way her eyes sparkled." You said to him

"Sure, well anyway ok ok, I trust you in that you will do what it's correct and you come back soon." He sighs and looks at you

"Fine I'll keep quiet but you better come back before Pinkie gets a mental breakdown!" He informs you

"Look if you want to tell them fine I don't care as long as they don't come looking for me." You inform Raiden

"Ok, ok I'll try to explain what happened so they don't come here, But no promises since AJ and Apple Night want to see you and Night had a vision of you, she in a way knows were you are and wants to see you, can at least she or Haley could visit?"

"As long as they don't get jealous of Lime Light then sure oh and I lied about my name to the mare and filly they think my name is Daniels."

"You are in very thin ice cousin I'm warning you, at least tell her about your mares and tell your mares about her before you drop your pants I'm serious one more wrong move and it'll end badly dude, Seriously keep...it...clean."

"I'm the master of deception and lies I think I can lie a bit longer."

"Haha, very funny" he turns around and looks at you.

"By the way how did it end the fight? Virgil is he ya know?" He asked

"Virgil's fine he's alive and well, take him with you it's too cold for him to stay out here for too long.

"You can't come, but I can take him back with him to the castle?" He asked

"Do you want him to freeze out here or would you rather take him with you." You stated

"Take him but you should say goodbye to him and explain what it's going on before that, we're is he anyway?"

You walk back to the campsite and leads him towards Virgil making him yawn, and wake up he sees you and Raiden, of course him being shy doesn't look at Raiden and Dante explains to Virgil that he has to go back to the castle.

"Hello Virgil it's good to finally meet you my name is Raiden."

"H-hello." He says shyly as he looks down to his hoofs.

"Dante ask me to help you go to the castle while he takes care of something in here do you want a moment to say goodbye to him?"

He nods and says goodbye to you sad that he had to go, but happy to finally meet his family.

Raiden gives the hood to Virgil and guides him but, before they go Raiden turns to see you.

"Oh and by the way do you remember your two personal guards?"

"Yeah what about them?" He asked

"I…kind of develop a crush on them I really hope you don't mind."

"Dude I don't care it's your life oh word of advice take her on a date if you really like her. Just advice you'll thank me later."

"Is it okay for a stallion to have more then one mare around?" Raiden asked

"Ya mean a herd? Yeah it's fine just appoint your alpha mare so everything goes smoothly."

"Got it thanks, ok then this will be goodbye for the time being, I'll try to buy you time but they will visit, eventually so you better get ready, specially Pinkie something tells me she'll pop in out of nowhere here at any moment, come on cousin lets go home." You look at your family a walk away as Raiden teleports them away. You sighed and laid down near the fire letting the warm of the bubble shield engulf your body.

The next day...

"Wow this place is huge!" Virgil said with amazement, he pat his back and smiles

"Yeah I was amazed the first time I saw it too." Raiden said with a chuckle

The two walk until the corridor divided into two directions.

"I'll go ahead and prepare aunt Luna and uncle Robert for your arrival in the mean time you could go ahead and meet one of your family members, to the right is Haley room and to the left is Apple Night's room, which would you like to meet first?"

"Haley I want to say I'm sorry for hurting her and I want her to like me." Virgil says with a smile

"Ok let's see Haley first." He guides him until they reach her room and knock on the door.

"Haley? Are you up?" Raiden asked

"Come in!" She said in a sing song voice they open the door to see Haley in her usual blue dress without her crown on. She also had an amber colored necklace on that clashed with both ruby and quartz.

"Haley I have great news, I found him, Dante, he's alive and well."

"What do you mean you found him?" Haley asked as she peered by to see Virgil.

Raiden takes out the note he received and tells her the story.

"He's in trottingham Haley, he told me there's something important he has to do there before returning but he's there and well!" Raiden moved so she can see Virgil.

"Haley I would like to re-meet Virgil, your free of dark magic, older brother."

She looks at the note and approaches Virgil who hugs her older brother. Virgil shyly wraps his arms around Haley making her smile.

"Boy if only Dante could see you two now." He said with a chuckle

"I just hope he's safe I don't want him getting hurt," Haley says wiping her tears as Virgil let's go.

"He'll be ok, it's Dante we're talking about, after all, well I'll let you catch up I need to inform the good news to aunt Luna and Celestia." He walks out of the room where Flare and Mosaic are on duty, and he approaches them

"See, I told you I'd come back."

"You were out? Huh didn't noticed you were gone." Flare says as she leaned on the wall.

"Sorry Flare, it was something that happen at last minute last night so I didn't have time to tell you, did you have fun at the party though?"

"Sure did, didn't get hungover though would really loved too." She said patting Raiden's back

"Come on Flare, with all the times I've ended up carrying you because of your blackouts I'm starting to think you like it and do that on purpose to get an excuse for me to carry you princess style."

"That's one of the perks. Oh and from what mosaic told me you kissed her you sly dog you." She said with a giggle

"Hehehe, she told you then?" Raiden ask with a little blush

"Jealous, I left you out?" He said with a sly grin.

"No not really because I can always do this." Flare just leans forward and kisses Raiden and just smiles as mosaic giggles away. Raiden's blush increases and tries to form words.

"Ah…eh, well yeah you can, but…ah dammit Flare, I forgot what I was about to say."

"See I got a kiss from a prince and all I had to do was lean forward." She said with a smile

"But until I give you the ok you 2 couldn't talk about the subject, and by the way in case you were wondering." He leans forward and make her lift her chin in the same way he did with Mosaic and look at her if she is ok for him to kiss Flare

She nods as Flare had a smile on her face.

Raiden nods and then leans forward to give Flare a long passionate kiss as well as he did to Mosaic and mentally ask how _ would Flare react, hoping she accept her affections as well.

She then guides his hands to her hips as he puts her hands on his shoulders.

After some time he finishes the kiss and looks at her with a warm smile

"THAT is a kiss from a prince, honey, did you enjoy it?" He asked

"More then you know sweetheart maybe I'll give you chance." Flare said with a seductive smile

"In that case I should bring my A game. Right?" He smiles in the same fashion before giving her a light spank before realizing what he is doing and let her go with a big blush

"Flare, I…I sorry, I didn't know what came over me, but when you came that smile I just couldn't stop thinking on how to bring you multi…I mean…intimate things, I'm so sorry, I didn't want to cross any lines."

"Don't worry about it." She says as she let's go of Raiden and walks over to Mosaic.

"Because you'll love this." Flare leans forward as mosaic kisses flare making Mosaic blush but not really caring after a few seconds they part.

"Holy crap, girls did I tell you how much I love you? If not then I'll repeat it, I love you so much!" He reaches over and hugs them before giving them a kiss on the cheek.

"And thank you, thank you for giving me a chance!" He releases them

"Mosaic Flare, I'm still new to all this mares and herds but my heart has made up it's mind, would you two be my alpha mares? In our little herd?" He asked

"Sure our little herd will be bigger by the end of the year." Flare said happily hugging Raiden.

"I know it will, oh and before I forget." Raiden makes Mosaic get closer and kisses her while keeping the hug and after some time let her go.

"I believed I still owe you one good morning kiss."

"Ah nothing but kisses today so who was the kid that you brought in a few minutes ago?" Flare asked

"That ladies, was my cousin Virgil." He smiles while look at them

"Dante he's alive, and he won." Raiden says to his marefriends.

"Really! Then that means we didn't fail and he's alive and well!" Flare said excitedly as she shook Mosaic

"Yup and now its up to me, to inform my uncles about the great news, care to join me?" They both nod as they walked towards the throne room.

On their way there both mares start to get closer to Raiden and Flare even kept the hug until they reach the throne where Celestia and Luna are preparing to switch courts.

"Mom, Aunt Luna?" Raiden call to them.

"I have some news I would like you to hear."

"What is it sweetheart?" Celestia asked

"Well I don't know how to say this, without proof and he is connecting with Haley as we speak but, he's back, Dante won in the end!" Raiden said happily

"Don't you lie Raiden don't get my hopes up into thinking my sons are alive." Luna says upset for Raiden bringing up Dante.

"He's in trottingham, last night, he contact with me, its turn out he has something important to do there and can't return yet, but Virgil is here, he's with Haley at the moment, teleport us to her room if you wanna see him, I left them alone to re-connect."

She nodded as she quickly teleported to Haley's room and witnessed both of her children talking and playing.

She run towards them and hugs them with tears of happiness with her baby return and playing with his sister

"Well something tells me uncle Robert is going to find out very soon." Raiden then looks at Mosaic and Flare before looking at Celestia and back at them, he smiles and grab their hands before looking at Celestia again.

"Mom, I think there's also one other thing we should tell you." As he looked towards the girls.

"What is it Raiden?" She asked

"We're currently going with your son's herd members and alpha mares." They said with a smile

Celestia smiles and giggles.

"Well hopefully you'll have a long and wonderful relationship." she says with a sigh.

"Thanks mom, I really want to show you, well because I was kinda nervous after all how I was conceive I might had inherit your lust." Raiden chuckle at the though of that

"You're an alicorn dear you're bound to go through it. Trust me you'll have a grand time,"

"Wait, you mean?…It wasn't only you?…Do all alicorns go through…? Oh god and that means that when Flare smiled…? Mom, W…when does it start?"

"If I know currently it will start in a few months along with Dante's so you two will be uh pretty tired by the time it's over."

"Mom I'm half alicorn I'm actually more scare of Mosaic and Flare's well being if I don't have control, I might left them numb, girls maybe it'll be better if you avoid me when it starts, the last thing I want is to hurt you."

"I said in a few months Raiden so you have time to plan. Dante already has his setup now all you have to gain the attention of mares to satisfy your urges." Celestia informs

"Oh I see…ah ok, ah…Mosaic, Flare…" He blushes and smiles

"Would you…"

They smile and nod and say they'll help.

"T…thanks just so you know…ah if you have any urges I…I'm willing to help you as well." He then turns to Celestia

"And now its only the question of what to do now? Dante asked me to not have anyone come so he doesn't have interruptions and I told you where he is because I know you will understand, but what about Twilight and the rest? Should we tell them?" Raiden asked

"It's not best to lie, tell them truth I'm pretty sure they'll happily thank you. And I'm sure those fillies would love to meet him again." Celestia said with a giggle

"Just what I was thinking, and I think I know with which mare to start with, Is AJ awake yet?" Raiden asked

"I'm not sure but it's best to see her. And I know Dante told you to lie he's been a liar for years Raiden don't blame him if he doesn't tell you the truth. He was a child that was born by dark magic parents." She informs him

"I understand at least I know his heart is in the right place." He reaches over and hugs her.

"Thanks mom, I will go talk to AJ, can you make a letter to Twilight to see if she can come with the rest of the girls?"

"Of course." She says with a nod.

"Thanks" Raiden and his marefriends go to AJ and Apple Night's room. To inform them about Dante.

Raiden walked with his two marefriends towards your daughter's room and knocked, he told them to stay outside and that he needed to do something quick. They nodded as they resumed their duties.

"How are you AJ? Did you and Apple Night sleep well last night?" Raiden asked as he entered the room

"I did before I saw a wolf approach and me lick my face in my dream."

"Ah but you didn't see any death now right? see I told you I could make the nightmares disappear for awhile, stopping dreams from turning weird though…that's aunt Luna territory you'll have talk to her for that, but that's not the reason why I'm here, I have great news for you two!" He said happily

"What is it Raiden?" AJ asked

"Well remember when you said that you think Dante is alive? Well its turns up he is, he contact me last night, I know where Dante is!"

"R-really daddy's alive! Where is he! Where is he!" Apple Night shouted with happiness.

"In Trottingam, he told me he can't return because he has something very important to do, but ask me to bring Virgil back, and it was fair I told you all about the great news."

"Oh." Apple Night says her ears flatten as she looked down on the bed she was sitting on

"He told me that you can go visit at any time, and I'm sure he misses you a lot sweetheart." Raiden sit beside her to comforting her.

"He's alive, honey your vision was correct, and soon you'll discover what the wolves mean."

"Maybe the wolf is like a symbol like grandma Luna's is the moon and grandma Celestia's is the sun maybe it's like a cutiemark or something." Apple Night mentioned

"There you go, sweetie very soon you'll understand them and now you can see your dad again. Heck I can even teleport you to him right now if you like." Raiden asked cheering her up.

"Really we can see him right now!?" She asked excitedly

"Sure, I know where his camp is, we can pay him a surprise visit, what do you say?"

"Yes! Let's go let's go let's go!" She said pulling her uncle's hand to the door.

"Ok one quick visit coming right up." He holds AJ's hand as well and the three are teleported to your camp.

You woke up at six and looked up to the sky to see that clouds started to leave the area and from the looks of outside of the bubble shield snow stayed the same either they were going to start their winter wrap up in a few days or a break from the snow would happen.

You slowly rose from the ground and moved your arms as you did. You felt a slight amount of pain in your arm, you moved the sleeve of the shirt to see a little blood cover your arm.

You wondered what that was about. Maybe you hurt yourself from last night or you slept on it funny either way it was a minor inconvenice. You looked around your campsite and quickly ate some to fill your stomach after eating you walked out of your campsite and walked towards the exit of the deep forest.

You felt at peace when you were in the forest mostly, because of what you couldn't do back in town. Since you weren't a local you always wore a mask around your face first covering your head with a hood that the two suit makers made on the suit you have and a bandana that they gave you and wrapped it around your neck as you had easy access to it when you had to cover your face.

You went down towards the trail and heard the crunch of snow beneath your feet. You smiled once you noticed the town of Trottingham nearby so far you made a few friends they've all been great ponies to know.

You entered town to see Milky waiting for you at town square you approached as the snow from the streets alerted her to your presences.

"I'm glad you made it Daniels, I was starting to think that you wouldn't come." She said with a relieved smile.

"Don't worry about a thing Milky I never break promises." She nodded as you carried the milk crate it was pretty cold but you covered your hands with magic to heat them up.

Every once in awhile you looked at Milky who had a smile across her face. She looked absolutely beautiful the way the snowflakes on her mane landed perfectly, and melted making her mane almost glisten.

You looked away and felt your cheeks heat up making you almost giggle with embarrassment.

"What's wrong?" She asked as she saw your cheeks redden.

"Uh nothing." You sighed and felt her hand on your cheek.

"You're cute when you're shy."

"What do you mean?" You asked with a weird expression.

"Oh nothing." She said with a giggle

"Right well let's keep going." You delivered a few bottles of milk some with Milky's cutiemark some bottles without. You didn't question the idea since it was her business and branding.

The walk around town was actually a relief since you didn't see much the last time you were here with Virgil around and barely waking up you couldn't tell what was what.

You spotted a clock tower that tolled right when it was 6:30.

Deep Forest...

"Hmm weird I thought he would still be sleep at this time." Raiden thought as he looked around seeing the campfire put out.

"We can check town can't we?" Apple Night asked

"Sure, but remember we can't stay for long we still need to inform everyone and grandma Celestia already sent a letter to aunt Twilight." They walked out of the forest and into town once in town they spotted snow around town.

"Wow, I though Winter Warp Up was two days ago, why is there still snow here?" Raiden asked looking around

"Oh right, I almost forget, Dante's undercover on a mission so if you see him refer to him as Daniels. Apple Night…yeah I think with daddy will be enough his undercover persona has a daughter, like I said he though about you."

"Okay I'll make sure that I won't say daddy's name I can't wait to see him!" She said happily

"And I bet he can't wait to see you." He gets closer to AJ and whispers into her ear.

"I can take Night for hot cocoa and distract her for awhile in case you can't wait to see him either." He said with a wink as AJ blushed and looked away.

"Sure thing." She whispers back just then Apple Night walks forward and bumps into Lime Light. Lime Light runs away trying to get to town square.

"Apple Night are you ok?" Raiden helped her up again while AJ looked at the young girl confused that she just ran away.

"I'm fine just a little dizzy that's all. Who was that girl?" Apple Night asked as she ran down the same path Lime Light ran towards once there she spots the young filly talking to you and Milky.

"That must be the filly he told me about I don't know what she has, but Dante needs to help her overcome some serious problem, we better not blow his cover." Raiden approach the group followed by AJ

"Daniel? Oh hey Daniel! we finally found you, man we've been searching for you everywhere." Raiden said with a chuckle

"Hey there Raiden what are you doing in Trottingham? You weren't suppose to come till later." You say to him putting emphasize on later.

"This is just a really quick visit, for them." He said pointing at AJ and Apple Night

"They missed you so much…I didn't have the heart to say no, to them they really miss you Daniel." Raiden approach Milky and extend his hand.

"Hi as Daniel told you my name is Raiden, nice to meet you miss." She said shaking his hand.

"Oh hello there my names Milky Way. Um what relation do you have with Daniels?" She asked with curiosity

"Oh…you know, Daniel and I are very good friends, he helped me overcome a huge problem once, he's a great guy, we're here just to drop in and say hi." He points at AJ and Apple Night that are hugging Dante as Raiden whispered into Milky's ear.

"AJ and Apple Night, one of his marefriend's and daughter, apologies for this sudden visit but Apple Night was having nightmares of losing her dad, she needed to see him, I hope you understand."

"Of course he seems like a great guy from the few minutes I spent with- wait did you say one of his marefriends? Does he have more?" She asked

"He has a little herd don't know what's considered a little herd I'm pretty sure he has a medium sized one, don't worry they're all extremely friendly…and sometimes clingy but other than that, they're sweet girls." In that moment Raiden sees Pinkie waving at him with a giant grin wearing some overalls and some shaded glasses while holding a newspaper.

"Wow, and there is his alpha mare." Raiden pointed at Pinkie who smilied and waved.

"I think I could work with the whole marefriends situation me and Daniels are just friends." She says with a smile

"Oh that's great to hear, but, if anything happens remember, the lead mare is that pink pony over there waving at us, she is the most friendly one there is so she'll probably let you in, do you want to say hi to her?" He asked

"Uh sure why not." Milky says with a smile they both approach Pinkie as she stands up and removes her disguise and having her original pink shirt and poofy skirt with suspenders.

"Hey Pinkie, how are you? Did you meet Daniels new friends?" Raiden faces in the direction Daniels.

"Daniels who's Daniels?" She asked not getting your cover.

"Oh you know, Daniels your coltfriend." He hugs her so he can whisper into her ear

"Listen Dante wants to throw this mare an extra super duper surprise party with lots and lots of frosting, so he calls himself Daniels until the party is ready, so just call him Daniel for a little while ok?" He asked

"Oh okay I'll do that." She said with a slight giggle before introducing herself to Milky.

"Pinkie here is one of the best bakers I have ever seen so far, she makes one delicious chocolate cake, you should try it sometime Milky."

"Yup I make the bestest cake in Equestria and I'll be happy to make you one if you'd like!" Pinkie said with a large smile

"Uh sure that sounds great." Milky says backing up a bit.

"Hey Milky why do you need all that milk?" Raiden asked

"Well me and Daniels are delivering milk around Trottingham that's my job we were kinda interrupted by Lime Light that little filly is a lot of trouble but is a great friend."

"Pinkie can help you with that she's very helpful in that regard."

"That'll be perfect I still have a lot of milk to deliver. Thank you miss Pie for the help."

"Oh no you don't have to call me miss Pie called Pinkie it's fine if you call me that!" Pinkie said with a smile

"Ok girls time to go for now, say goodbye to Daniels." Raiden said to AJ and Apple Night.

"Bye daddy please come back soon." Apple Night says hugging you as you kiss her forehead.

"Bye Daniel, please take care, maybe in the future we'll visit again with more of your mares."

"I'll be back in a few days." You said with a chuckle

"Oh and Pinkie said she'll help you deliver the milk, bye." They teleport back to the castle leaving the four of you alone and Pinkie doesn't waste any time as she brings you into a hug.

"I missed you so much!" She said happily as she kissed your cheek.

You smiled as you warmly hugged her making her giggle as you and your two friends continued the delivery run.

Canterlot...

After coming back from Trottingham AJ and Apple Night returned to Ponyville with their friends. After receiving the news that Dante was alive they were happy to have their friend back.

But they were sadden that they couldn't see him as he was in Trottingham far from Ponyville.

Raiden walked towards his room and looked into his desk finding his father's old journal.

Raiden opened his father's old journal and read the first page only a few words were written.

'nor gods or kings, only man' and 'in what kingdom there is a place, for people like us'

Raiden is intrigued and continued to read what has been written in the past.

'Isn't a man entitle to the sweet of his brow? No said the crown, no said the family, no said the church, I said enough! Those greedy pigs that only think of money, those pigs that can only think in lust, those pigs that don't know what honors mean. I choose to reject those answers, I choose to dream of the impossible I choose my own path, I choose…freedom'

A knock on the door was heard as Raiden puts the journal away. He reaches the door and sees Mosaic and Flare.

"Ladies." he stands aside so they could come in

"Hello Raiden." They both say happily as they enter.

"I'm glad you could come up, Flare don't you think I forget about you." He reach to one of his cabinets and pull out 3 glasses and a bottle of wine and a little red bottle.

"I hope you don't mind, but I couldn't resist to make a little celebration now that we're starting a herd. Mosaic I hope you don't mind, you told me you drink blood from time to time so I brought some of it to if you'd like some."

"I would love some." Mosaic says as Flare takes a glass of wine and sips it.

"If only it was strong but hey can't get drunk on the job." Flare says with giggle

"Well they always say don't combine work before fun, and you 2 already have work a lot so I think you both deserve some fun, but before that" Raiden pours himself a glass of wine and looks out the window.

"As you both know, my father, was…an enemy of my uncle and he never even knew me. I have no memory of him so I don't miss him that much either, but his past…the past that is connected to me though…that I can't stop thinking about it." Raiden says thinking about the journal. He looks back at them

"So, now that Dante its back and our family is reunited, I have finally had the time to start my own travel, one that I will wish to share with you."

"What does that mean?" Flare asked

"It means that as soon as uncle Robert teaches me how to open a portal and I finish my father's swords I'm planning to pay a visit to my father birth planet, and I would like for you to join me." He informs his girls.

"Do you think that's absolutely safe. I mean if we do all go we might not come back are sure you want to do this?" Mosaic asked

"Not completely, that's why I want you to come as well, and use uncle Robert's spell, I can use and create condescended crystals balls for you to hold and use to return in case something bad happens." He says reassuringly

"If you're absolutely sure about the idea count me in!" Flare said with a nod as did mosaic.

"Thanks girls, don't worry there is still time, I have to finish my dad's sword and all that."

Trottingham a few hours later...

After a long day with Pinkie,Milky,and Lime Light. You lead Pinkie back to your campsite she happy to see you were warm and eating mostly because she didn't want a thing to happen to you.

You also noticed Fragment wasn't around which was a relief as Pinkie wanted to show you something, something you would forget.

Pinkie wasted no time as she unbuckled your pants and let the full weight of her rump massage your cock making her warm furnace like pussy grind on your member making you moan with pleasure. She placed several kisses upon your face as your hands traversed downwards towards her ass. Her ass felt ultimately soft and squishy you forgotten about the feeling you had with Pinkie.

"Dante?"

"Hmm." You turned and her hands rested on your shoulders as your hands went to her hips.

Her lips connected with yours as you felt her tongue prodded your mouth. You parted your lips as she explored your mouth you felt her velvet like tongue on your canines making her deepen the kiss.

You two separated letting each other gain back your breaths. You see Pinkie's chest rise and lower as she gains her breathing.

Pinkie then entered the second kiss as you began to lower your hands to her nethers. You felt her panties moisten as you began to rub up the seam of her panties. Your index finger moved her panties aside as you entered her warm pussy she gave off a small moan as her head rested on your shoulder.

You felt your member harden by the weight of Pinkie's rump on your crotch. Her soft and squishy behind mixed with the warm sensation of her wet pussy made you stop your motion.

You exited her pussy and unzipped your pants and lowered your boxers. Your member now harden Pinkie slowly lowered herself on your cock. Her head now resting on your shoulder emitted a soft whimper as you started to move upwards. Slow and steady that was the movement you were going for.

Pinkie didn't want you to go fast she wanted to enjoy this. She began to rise and lowered herself as you thrusted upwards.

The sound of your hips connecting echoed through the night. She held on her moans louder and more frequent her breaths became short and quick.

It just occurred to you, you both were fully clothed and her sweat began to soak her clothing as your shirt became a mess. But you didn't want to ruin this moment with the fumbling of clothes.

You were reaching your climax as your grabbed Pinkie's behind and began to thrust faster into her as she sat at the same spot.

"D-Dante!" She said completely stuttering.

"I'm going to-" She couldn't finish that sentence as you came inside her. The warm blissful feeling washed the two of you, you didn't feel like moving to remove your junk out of her so you waited for it to soften.

Her breathing was quick as she looked at you. Her head now on your chest.

"Dante I...I...I love you." Pinkie said as her eyes closed.

"I love you to Pinks." You stated as your eyes began to close. But not before zipping up your pants.

Author's Note

Fuck I need an editor oh longest chapter ever!

4.Mask

It's been a week since your daughter visited you back in Trottingham and a day has passed since you came back to Ponyville. You were currently in Ponyville you were with Rarity she needed a fitting for a new suit you asked her to make.

She was happy that you decided to wear more formal attire as your mainstyle. She made several suits which you bought and paid for with money you had gotten from your job with Roseluck. She was excited that you were alive and willing to continue working for her, you still continue to write letters to Milky you've been staying a close connection with her since your short experiences with her.

Echo has been extremely clingy with you to a point where she snuck into your room while you slept. You didn't mind since you loved her with all your heart plus you didn't mind the several sexual favors you've been getting from her. Ultimately luck was on your side because of the madness you had suffered the past few months have been getting to you.

But everything so far has been looking up. Due to the fact you've returned Pinkie's been sleeping with or near you, you've even setup a date with Fluttershy later today.

"I'm glad you've decided to change your style you look extremely handsome." She said measuring your leg length.

"Thanks Rares ya know I've always liked wearing formal attire, it feels so natural." You mentioned as she informed you that you could lower your arms.

"Well you are royalty and a pony such as yourself has to wear the best for every event." She smiled as she marked down the sizes and color schemes of your suit.

"I've also noticed your cutiemark it's unique and something that fits you."

"Well being a lone wolf for almost my whole life does have its perks. Most of my magic is aimed towards darkness." You said with a chuckle as you put on your pants and buckled your belt.

"I see that Sweetie has never seen your cutiemark or noticed that you've been alive for awhile."

"Where has she been?" You asked as you began to tie your tie.

"With my parents since that whole chaos with you, she wanted to stay with my parents for a little while and she's in a field trip to the gardens at Canterlot."

"I feel offended that you'd consider me chaos." You said with a fake gasp.

"Yes, darling now you may go I rather not be disturbed." She said looking at her workshop

You smiled and slapped her ass making her turn and slapped you.

"Dante! You have herd. Plus you still haven't took me on the date that we agreed on at the Gala." She said with a glare.

"It was worth it, plus you know you loved it." You said rubbing your cheek.

"Oh just go you dirty prince." She said pushing you out

You walked down the street the residents of Ponyville happily greeted you, mostly because they haven't seen you in about a month.

You then thought about that random sex time you had with Pinkie a week ago, you wanted to know if she was feeling fine or if anything was wrong you could help her with.

You entered Sugarcube Corner and felt something grab your collar of your shirt and take you towards the kitchen.

You looked forward to see the baby blue eyes you fell in love with. You felt Pinkie's hand slide down towards your junk you stopped her and kissed her hand.

"Naughty girl, I'm only here to see how you're doing." You said with a chuckle

"I'm fine silly willy I'm just really happy to see my coltfriend and I feel like I can give him something for being a good boy." She said as she began to kiss you she guided your hands towards her breasts as you gave them a squeeze.

"Pinkie we can't do this now I'm a little busy for the time being." You said with a grunt.

"Aww okay but can you do something for me really really quick?" She asked

"And what's that?"

She got closer to your ear and covered the gap with her hand sealing off any prying eyes.

"Can you find out if we're uh um expecting a baby?" She asked quietly

"I could do that it's easy just let me go to the-"

"No! Please you know how word goes around town. Is there a spell you can do to find out?" She asked

"Yeah I think so it'll take some time." She nodded as you touched her belly and let a light white aura sink into her belly. She giggled and squirmed as you placed a pencil on a piece of paper and began to write the awaiting results.

You placed the pencil down and removed your hand from her belly.

"Now we wait babe." You said to her

"Thank you Dante." She kissed your cheek and sat near the paper

"Pinkie, it'll take some time so just place this in your drawer and wait." She nodded and held your hand as you exited the room.

Castle...

Raiden sat in his room as he read through his father's journal.

Fracture…this place its just heaven on earth, here miracles just happen, we have all we need, we take all we need, and nobody has to share anything, my weapons are almost ready, the preparations are almost complete, I just need to complete one more mission, this Tenebris, oh he's a slippery one, making this world enter a war. That has to take some serious balls, je that will teach those greedy pigs a lesson or two, let's see how much they can eat with broken jaws and the stink of their own shit, pouring over their heads, it almost makes me not wanna take this job…still its 50 grand we're talking about, one big piece to just ignore…oh well, money is money, once I get a clue on where he is, daddy is going to collect his money, now I only have to worry of these freaks not to beat me to it, that ice bitch particularly, boy do her eyes just give me the creeps.

Raiden sighed as he rubbed his eyes he looked around and rose from his laid state and walked out his room and towards the throne room.

Raiden walked down the hall and down the fleet of stairs that connect the ground floor to the floor above.

Raiden looked around the throne room to see Celestia doing her daily business of listening and agreeing with nobles. Raiden walked out of the castle and towards the armory nearby as he walked in he spotted his uncle working on two mysterious weapons.

"Uncle are you busy?" He asked knocking on the door that was slightly ajar.

"Uh no come in." Raiden entered as he saw his uncle work on a few new designs for a weapon that has to be tested.

"Uncle, do you know of a place called Fracture?" He asked Robert let out a small chuckle as he placed the weapons down and turned to face Raiden.

"I haven't heard of that city in a long time, but yes I know what Fracture is but that's a road I rather not go through."

"Why?" Raiden asked

"That city was like heaven on earth where dreams become a reality. I loved that place it was amazing but I rather not talk about it."

"But why-" Robert looked forward to see his weapons turn into cheese.

"Ugh not him again." Robert mumbled as he turned and ran upstairs.

"Who?" Raiden asked

"Discord, an asshole who a long time ago owned Equestria until your mother and aunt defeated long ago."

Raiden walked into the throne room to see a girl oddly enough look like a human

"Discord? Is a girl?…uh uncle, the voice the hair the facial fetures and the…" He blushes and turns away while pointing at her

"Ladies parts are kind of a give away."

"That's my dad you idiot I'm Eris. His older daughter." Eris said as she rolled her eyes

"Dad?" He looks back at her

"Oh so he's your dad, oh and if you're his daughter, that means that you're a goddess too? Just like me and my cousins?"

"If you can call being around dad while he creates chaos a goddess then yes."

Raiden extend his wings and approach her still a bit curious

"So…can you do any kind of chaos as well?" He asked

"Eh from time to time don't really enjoy though."

"I see, well what do you en…" Celestia then walked over and dragged Raiden away

"Eris stay away from my son I know what your father can do and I do not want him interacting with you." She said angrily

"Looks like I'll find Dante man I remember when me and him use to hang he probably doesn't remember me. But I'm sure I'll jog his memory."

That catches Raiden's attention and flies towards her.

"You know Dante? I don't recall ever seeing you ever? When did you meet him?" He asked

"A long time ago trust me too long to even remember." She informs

"Well…if you're friends with Dante then that makes you a friend of mine." He extend his hand towards her

"Raiden Crown, son of Princess Celestia nice to meet you." He said happily

"Nice to meet ya too." She said as she shook his hand making a shock go through her to him.

The surprise make him to increase his heat 5 more times burning Eris's hand, and he chuckles a bit

"Counter prank, still the electric shook? Nice, a real classic."

"You're good. I have a feeling I'm gonna like you." Eris said with a smile

Ponyville...

You left Pinkie back with Twilight and her friends mostly because you wanted to talk to Lotus and Aloe without being interrupted. Since you still didn't know if they were your marefriends or friends who just want to flirt.

You walked towards the spa as you entered the bell rang signaling that you've entered the spa.

"Lotus Aloe you here?!" You shouted as you walked towards the front desk. You felt a hand on your shoulder as you stiffened up your body. You turned to feel a pair of lips on yours and your hands wind down the delicate body of your friend or rather your marefriend Aloe.

Your hands stayed on her hips making a smile appear as you kissed her. She backed up a little and had a blush across her face she seemed surprise that you kissed her back.

"You seem excited beautiful."

She stayed quiet as you felt someone else behind you. Your hips were brought closer to hers as her breasts were on your chest. You were sandwiched between twin sisters as they played with you their coltfriend.

"You girls are a handful ya know that." They giggled as Lotus walked in front of you.

You smiled as they had been wearing their masseuse outfits. Seeing them like that made you happy that they're your marefriends though you've been busy they stayed faithful to you. The same couldn't be said about you though.

"You know we've haven't been on a single date aside from the walk a few months ago you've taken us on. I was thinking maybe tonight we can have a little get together." Aloe said with a seductive tone

"I got nothing to do and maybe we can do more then get together." You informed then as you pull them closer to you.

"Of course we can just do it now." Lotus tackled you down as she quickly removed her outfit.

Aloe walked towards the door and locked and switched the open for business sign to closed she also lowered the curtains.

Aloe took the advantage and lower your pants and underwear removing them completely. She slowly licked up the base of your member and to the head. Her tongue swirled around your member as lotus started to kiss you, your hand went towards her breast as you started to knead them making her ride your chest her pussy rubbed up against your chest.

"Fuck Aloe keep doing what you're doing." You looked down to see Aloe starting to rub herself she let go of your member making you groan upset by her action.

You looked down to see Aloe instead finger herself. Her juices running down her thigh making you look at her enticed with excitement.

"Dante." You looked to your side to see Lotus with a double sided strap-on.

You smiled as your grabbed Aloe making her gasp with surprise. You put her face to your crotch making her take your cock once again.

While Lotus shoved the cock into her making moan, but her moan was stifled by your cock which was currently in her mouth. She began to thrust into Aloe, Lotus seemed to be enjoying her time with her sister she slowly lowered herself on to her sister back making Aloe lower further and remove your cock from her mouth.

"Oh Lotus, please go faster!" She said with a lovely moan.

Your breath was quick as you looked forward to see Lotus remove the dildo out of Aloe's pussy and laid on her back. Aloe lowered her pussy towards the rubber member.

"Oh fuck yes fuck me harder sister!" Aloe shouted

You smiled as you saw her ass not completely filled you smiled and ripped open a condom you had your pocket. As you placed it on your cock was completely slick and ready for anything.

You walked around Aloe and looked at her ass, you were about to do something dirty and you know it was something unexpected. You grabbed your ass cheeks and slowly entered her asshole.

Making her stiffen up her eyes closed as she was in pain, you began to slowly thrust into her making her grab the carpet in either pain or pleasure or a little bit of both.

"Fuck yes Dante fuck my ass fuck me until I'm numb!" She shouted as your hand reared up to slap her ass.

She was tight, extremely tight to the point where you'd shoot your load if you went too quick.

You removed your member making Aloe whine but not before Lotus hit Aloe's sweet spot making her cum.

You looked at the sexy site and jerked yourself off. You felt ultimately satisfied as you saw both Aloe and Lotus tiredly pant with happiness.

Both mares rose and grabbed your hands guiding you to the back of the spa which had a bed with what looked like a private room. You had no idea what it was for but you accepted it as they laid you down.

You slowly closed your eyes as they snuggled up against you.

An hour later...

You opened your eyes as you started to put your clothes on you spotted a note on a stand nearby. You opened it to see that it was a note informing you about their leave and how they enjoyed their time with you.

You let out a small chuckle before washing yourself and doing your usual thing.

A few minutes later...

Once you had exited the spa you continued to walk home to see Twilight frantically pace back and forth with your friends trying to relax her.

"Relax Twi Dante's comin just wait." AJ informed

"Relax! Relax! How can I relax there's a serious problem going on!" She said annoyed by the action.

"Alright I'm here what's Twilight spazzing out about now?" You asked entering the library

"There you are let's go Princess Celestia is waiting for us!" You sighed and followed Twilight out the library as she ran towards the train station.

An hour later...

After arriving at the castle you were dragged over to a familiar face who was once a close friend. But now just a friend who you forgot all those years ago.

"Is…is that true Eris? You and Discord want to submit the world into an endless and chaotic misery?" Raiden asked

"That's my dad's thing I just wanted to be free ya know make a few friends." She said to Raiden

"Then why help him, Eris he's evil he'll make us all suffer."

"I dunno Raiden I kinda like him he's not serious like the others." You say with a shrug

"Dear why don't you take Dante and Raiden to the forest get to know them a bit more." Discord said with laugh as you and Raiden were teleported away.

Everfree...

"Well, still better then the silent realm."

"Well yeah we're in a fucking forest Raiden." You say annoyed by Raiden's postive attitude

"Yeah I noticed no need to be negative, don't you remember the story? Twilight and the rest will find the elements and take care of Discord we only need to wait for them to do so, in the mean time let's make a camp fire or something to kill the time, maybe we can even make s'mores."

"I think we need to get out of here god only knows what's happening out there." You inform

"Nothing too bad just some things changing." Eris mention with a giggle

"Hey Eris good to see you again, Eris Dante, Dante Eris told me you two go way back, care to explain, why you never mention her?"

"You never brought up my past so I thought you weren't interested."

"That's because my mom force me to see hers raising you as her son and I never saw Eris…but anyway that's all in the past, so tell me, how did you two meet? Kindergarden friends? School friends? Ex girlfriend?"

"Ex-girlfriend please I can do a lot better then him." Eris said with a smile

"Right because you don't want any of this." You said with a chuckle as you posed making Eris laugh.

"No I thought she was imaginary so I went with that only I could see in the whole castle I told everyone she was real but nobody listened."

"Ah! I get it, let me guess later you start scaring everyone making it look like she was a ghost while she was moving things around or making noises and all that paranormal thing right?"

"Yup she's weird like that."

"Hey! You're the weird one telling me to spy on Twilight."

"Spy on twilight? I thought she was like a sister to you" Raiden asked with a smirk

"Did Dante got curious when his friends start to…mature?"

"To be honest yes, what would you do, I was bored and couldn't leave the castle without a guard or without cadence so I did the next logical thing. Yes stalking maybe a crime but hey what isn't."

"Didn't you have a crush on a mare call Trixie? Why didn't you ask Eris to spy on her? But anyway, I don't see her all that weird, more like cool mare, oh and sorry for the incident at the castle I didn't mean to look at…your lady parts." Raiden said with a bit of a blush

"I still do, but she's gone I dunno where she went, maybe I'll see her later on but for now let's worry about getting out of here and not having your camping fantasy."

"Ah it's nothing just spur of the moment that's all." Eris said with a smile

"Thanks and if helps anything I think you are very pretty, and Dante for shame on you, your old friend comes back after so many years and you haven't given her a hug yet? For shame now go to her hug her and tell her how much you had miss her."

"Not how we do things mate I don't-" Eris interrupted you by bringing you into a big hug

"See, now Dante, she is not going to let you go until you do."

"Fine." You reach over and hug Eris making her giggle happily.

"That's better" He start looking around

"Now, where did you bring us Eris? And if we are going to stay here can we make a campfire and made s'mores please? They say they're delicious and I want to eat one." He said happily

"Sure thing just get some wood and fire and I'll sent up everything else!" Eris disappeared from sight

"Awesome, come Dante lets go search for some wood." Raiden started to pick dead leafs and branches and gather them together with some rock around them before starting a fire

"You're really enjoying this aren't you?" You asked Raiden.

"What do you mean? Eris sounds like a great mare and like I said Twilight and the rest will fix this, so might as well enjoy this while we can."

"And what if they fuck up. I mean don't get me wrong I know my marefriends can handle anything but I'm a little uneasy about the situation."

"Don't you have faith in them?" Raiden asked

"Not really. Look I may have gotten Pinkie pregnant I'm just worried that's all." You inform him

"You made…wait what? when?"

"Last week when you visited me in Trottingham after the day was done I kinda had sex with Pinkie and didn't wear a condom."

"Oh I…I see and did she have…contact with you or something like that?"

"We took a test this morning and never got to see because we we're called over to the castle."

"Oh…oh! I see, ok, ok relax its only been a week and you never saw it, a mare can walk and be fully functional until the 3 or 4 month, I think that's when her belly starts to show if I remember correctly so she'll still be fine, you have to have faith in her, you heard mom, Discord can only be defeated by the elements, our moms couldn't stand a chance without them, and they're gods cousin, we only can be patience and have faith in them, Dante."

"Yeah I'll try but I'm not holding on to anything."

"Thanks…and hey mom told me about our…problem that will happen soon, the ones we need mares to overcome? Yeah I have a question…how exactly you prevent yourself from hurting your partner?" He asked

"Try not to focus on one, have multiple mares and don't go hard on them unless they want that." You inform him

"Got it thanks…oh and again thanks for letting me date Flare and Mosaic seriously I was really nervous about that…and going back to Twilight exactly who was…"

Eris re-appeared as a smile across her face.

"Oh hey Eris we were talking about you."

"What about?" She asked

"Where did you go and why you left Dante when he was a kid."

"I thought he didn't want to talk to me after he became prince so I left, I left and never looked back."

"That was cold Dante." He says shaking his head

"What do you expect I had to stay with Celestia through the whole damn thing meaning I couldn't go to my friend's birthday party when she turned eleven and I couldn't go to the gardens until I was finished with my speech it's stressful being the only prince." You say with a sigh

"I see, still, it's a bit cold" He looks back at Eris

"I'm sorry Eris I lied we were actually talking about a problem we'll have very soon, it'll be the first one for me and I'm scare of hurting my partner."

"Oh uh well that sounds like a you problem. Can't help you with that." She says nonchalantly

"Actually…since you're a female…hmmm…nah, I just met you, besides I don't want to hurt you."

"Damn a few minutes and you're coming on to me." She said with a giggle

"What do you, NO! I mean…ah…not that you aren't pretty you are…but I have marefriends…not that I cheat on them…I'm not that kind of guy even if we are expanding…know that I'm inviting you…I mean I could but I wouldn't…I mean I would…and…ah Dante please help me out here."

"I'm actually going to stay out of this one it's funny seeing you like this."

"Dante! come on, she's your friend! And I'm coming on to her I mean! no I mean yes! no! I…" Raiden look back at Eris with a big blush

"I'm not helping my case here am I?"

"You're the one asking." You let out a small sigh before helping

"Fine I'll help. Eris what he's saying is if you'd like to join his herd. He's just awkward as hell to form words."

"No thanks not really ready for a relationship like that yet." Eris said going towards you and putting an arm on you.

"Thanks cousin I wasn't ready to add chaos in mine, one Flare is enough thanks, seriously I love that mare and she's hot as hell but that lady could bring back the dead just by dancing, and that's on slow days."

"Never heard you use hot in a sentence Raiden mostly because you're serious about everything." You inform him

"I know, it still scares me a bit, but Flare asked me to be more open, and relaxed and don't hold back when I talk to mares, to let go, its difficult but I'm doing my best to try to do so, for her and for moral support with aunt Luna and her modern speaking classes…kind of get a bit weird when she told me to stare more at mares boobs and behinds…do mares really like that?…H…hot stuff?" Raiden tries to say to Eris with a big blush

"You're cousin is really awkward Dante." She says whispering into Dante's ear.

"Yeah he's uh new to the world." You whispered back

Raiden cleared his throat and tried to change the subject

"Well! If we're done, making remarks about me being weird what about if we put this all behind us and just talk, please? I really just want to eat something besides a campfire and talk with Eris, she looks like a cool girl, and I want to know what she was up to since she left the castle." He says with a chuckle

"Nothing much just staying in garden hiding in plain sight till I got a call from dad." Eris mentioned

"Oh I see, yeah I understand I had something similar when I was born my mom's evil side threw me into a realm where there's no sound and erase my mom's mind, if it wasn't for Dante I would had spent all eternity in there." He says with a smile

"Dude it was something I did a few months ago just stop thinking about that place." You say sitting on a log

"Sorry, but yeah that's pretty much why I'm so serious and sometimes awkward the world is just very strange place to me and I'm still trying to learn all I can from it, so tell me Eris you said you only want to make friends and have fun right? Well if you like can I be one of your friends now that you're free again?"

"We can be friends but Dante is going to be the main person I bother so he'll have to deal with me popping up in random times." She said with a giggle

"Popping up?" Raiden asked her confused at her statement

"Ya know coming in out bothering him when it's the most inconvenient times."

"Ah, well let's hope you don't come out when he in the shower then." He looks up and sees the sky had a lot of pink clouds

"I think he'd enjoy that." You rolled your eyes and looked up to the sky

"Hey and Eris what's up with all these clouds? You made them?"

"Cotton candy clouds real cotton candy." She says with a smile

"Eris don't get me wrong but your dad, is kind of weird." He says with a sigh

"Tell me about it he's been like that for a long time now."

"I see, well he ordered you to take care of us so…what exactly are you planning on doing where are we as a matter of fact?" He asked

"In the everfree near Ponyville why do you ask?" She asked throwing a pack of marshmallows to Raiden.

"Oh thank god I'm leaving I have to check something." You say walking away from the site

Raiden clear his throat and point at Eris with his head while roosting his marshmallow

"Aren't you forgetting something cousin? "

"The test the damn test I have to see what it says!" You shouted

"Oh right sorry." Raiden stands up and followed you

"Aren't you coming Eris?"

"Sure let's go and what test?" She asked following you and Raiden.

"Dante is going to be a daddy, hey if it's a boy can I be his godfather?" He asked

"I don't know if Pinkie's pregnant yet. If she is it's going to be hard."

"Oh ok." They walked until they reach the outskirts of the forest and see a Ponyville upside down

"What the hell?" Raiden said aloud

"Wow dad must've been really happy to be out." Eris mentioned.

"All this…is Discord's doing? Wow I'm starting to see why he was our mothers enemy."

"Let's just go to Sugarcube corner and get that test I wanna see if she's pregnant." You inform them

"Ok we only going to need to catch it first." Raiden pointed to Sugarcube Corner which was currently flying above you and expelling cookie mass from the door as if it was a waterfall.

"Ah fuck me!" You shouted as you ran forward and walked towards the building.

"Use your wings dude!" Raiden said approaching the building while using his own wings

"Oh yeah!" You then summoned your wings they're dark black with red streaks going down

You all reach the house but when you enter they enter and exit through the refrigerator and look forward to see the muffins and cookies are in a middle of a war, in the kitchen like some very bizarre civil war.

"Dante, please tell me you're saying this too." Raiden said looking forward

"Let's just get to Pinkie's room we'll worry about this later." You inform them

"Ok question, where is the door? I only see a kitchen stretching and kitchen objects flying around everywhere." He said dodging a spatula

"Follow me." You then guide Raiden down the upstairs and enter Pinkie's room to see stuff right side up with gummy sleeping in his bed as if he was floating.

"This is usually what your dad does?" Raiden asks Eris

"This is actually tame trust me when I was little and he was in control of equestria it was much worse."

"Ok were here where is the test? on the desk?" Raiden goes into the desk still new and thinking that you meant an actual pen and pencil test

"No it's uh I'll tell you later." You grab the test and put it into your pocket wanting to see it with Pinkie later.

Pinkie then walked into her room but not pink anymore instead gray and bleak.

"What are you all doing here?!" She shouted annoyed by everyone in her room.

"Looking at your test results Pinkie, and in case it happened like you wished congratulations!" Raiden said happily

"Be quiet! Dante! What are you doing here!?" She shouted

"Relax will you relax I'm only-" Pinkie then pushed you,Raiden and Eris out of her room and slam the door shut.

"Weird I thought the mood swings don't come until later on, how long since you had sex with her again?" He asked

"That isn't my Pinkie somethings wrong." You inform them

"You mean her color, yeah I also t
Thought she looked...gray I thought it was an illusion on the light but yeah she looks weird." He informs

"We gotta find Twilight let's go!" You ran out the building leaving the two behind

"Any idea of what its going on Eris?"

"I dunno but my dad just pissed off Dante I don't know if that's good or bad."

"A demi god that can control nightmares and has his own realm in which only he and his dad can go in and out, what do you think?"

"Yeah that was a dumb question lets go!" She said happily

You all reach the house but with difficulty with all the crazy rabbits stomping around and dancing buffaloes but they finally reach it with some difficulty.

"Dancing buffaloes? Really?"

"Hurry up!" You shout

Once inside you search for Twilight but can't find her, you all hear groans and go upstairs to see papers scattered about.

You walk forward and close to you a green flame appeared and materialized another scroll, after moving some paper around you find Spike laying on the floor holding his stomach

"God damn what the hell happened." You ask petting Spike while looking at the several scrolls.

You hear Twilight entering the house with the same gray color as Pinkie was before and slamming the door on frustration

"No! I'm tired of this town we're leaving pack your stuff Dante." She said throwing the element in the trash

"Ah…hi?" Raiden says as he picked up the element.

"Twilight, what's happening? What do you mean leaving? What about stopping Discord, ah no offense Eris."

"Discord showed me that my so called friends are nothing but backstabbing ponies. So we'll just live in this chaotic world."

"Back…Backstabbing? Twilight what are you talking about?" He asked

"Well Pinkie's angry,Fluttershy's mean,Rarity's greedy,Applejack's lying,and Rainbow left us." She stated

"Ok, now I'm sure somethings definitely is wrong with our friends that doesn't sound anything like them."

"I'm done lets go spike Dante."

"Ah Twilight I think Spike can't move." Raiden pointed at him while Spike still held his stomach in pain

Twilight walked over to Spike and sees the scrolls she starts moving the several pages of paper and looks at one with a suspicious look but continues to read you had no idea what was going on. You didn't care too much about the other problems you were facing only that you knew if Pinkie was pregnant.

After some time her color returned and you saw Spike finally sleep soundly as the matters stopped coming.

"I know how we can get our friends back and I need your guy's help!" Twilight shouted happily as she exited the library.

Raiden and Eris were startled at her outburst but nodded and followed her outside.

You exited the library and run towards sweet apple acres after a few minutes you all arrive to see the whole farm in turmoil.

"Hey there Twilight,Raiden,and lover boy." AJ said with a smirk as she approached you. You didn't mind that she was giving you a sexy wink mostly because she was your marefriend.

"And…what was the plan again Twilight?" Raiden asked

"This." She then managed to pin down AJ shouting at her trying to make her remember but to no avail her horn begins to glow as she puts her horn on AJ's forehead.

"Ok if she lobotomized AJ, I'll knock her out." Raiden informed

"No wait AJ's color is coming back." You mentioned as you held back Raiden

"Twilight, what did you did to her?" He asked

"I brought back her memories!" She said happily as she hugged AJ.

"Twilight what the heck happened here?" AJ asked as the whole farm was crazy.

"AJ...where is Apple Night?" Raiden asked with care

"Who?" She asked rubbing her head

Raiden takes her shoulder in slight panic

"YOUR daughter? The one you have with Dante…Where is she? Please tell me she is here!" Raiden asked panicked about the idea of his niece hurt.

"I think I did hear her sing in her room either that or something else is in there."

"Well what are we waiting for, lets check she is ok." He informed as he walked away

"You go check Raiden I gotta speak to AJ alone." You say picking up AJ and taking her somewhere else Raiden gave you a solid nod before going.

"Come on Eris I need your help in case Discord made some voodoo on her" Eris nodded as she follow Raiden upstairs

You tried taking AJ away but Twilight said there is no time and they need to restore the others, AJ agreed and followed Twilight out of the farm.

"Dammit." You mumbled and followed the two out.

While you and your two friends restored everyone's memories Raiden goes into Apple Night room to see if she was ok.

He peers in the room to see Apple Night unaware about the situation outside the house.

"Apple Night? Are you ok?" He asked

"Hmm oh yeah just looking at this book I found in aunt Haley's room when we visited Canterlot." She informed flipping through the pages.

"So…nothing happened to you? Oh I'm so glad to hear that." Raiden approached and hugged her.

"Nope but I see these picture aunt Haley drew they're from my dreams like this pony." She said pointing to a dark figure wearing a dress

Raiden looked towards the book to see the picture and gets intrigued as he touched the picture.

"Curious, is this another future descent of Dante?" He asked

"I dunno but I did talked to her she told me who I was and kept asking for my name. Then disappeared." She informed

"But if she knew who you were why did she ask for your name?"

"I dunno maybe she was confused."

"Yeah perhaps but I'm so happy to see that you are ok…oh by the way Apple Night I would like you to meet a new friend of mine." She point at Eris

"Apple Night meet Eris…Eris, meet Apple Night, Dante's daughter"

"Hey there kid." Eris said with a smile as Apple Night approached her.

"She's a cool girl, and she and Dante go way back, according to Dante, she was his first friend

"Wow you're my dad's friend that's so cool." She said happily.

"Yup and she is very powerful too so much that she agreed for you to come with us while we fix a little problem that occur on our way here."

"What problem?" She asked

They walk downstairs and towards the front door.

"That problem." Raiden point to the town upside down and in total chaos

"Wow this is amazing!" She said happily

"Yeah until you find out that everything is out to kill you and all the ponies you love and care are destroy."

"Holy crap where did that come from?" Eris asked

"What? the flying pies? From that clouds I think"

"No what I meant was that whole death and stuff you brought up early to a little girl for god sakes." Eris says

"Death? what are you talking about? I was referring to mentally breaking down not death which is exactly what Discord is doing and we need to stop."

Eris gave a small sigh before continuing towards town to see that it was still in chaotic turmoil. They all continued to walk until they spotted the five elements bearers and you, Raiden was the first to greet as he continued on towards the you and your friends.

"Oh hi Pinkie, how are you felling?" He asked with concern

"I'm feeling good I'm just happy that my friends and coltfriend are mad at me. For acting like such a meanie pants." She said happily.

"Yup she is back, oh and congratulations on your test Pinkie I hope you get an A."

She gasped and looked away before holding your hand as he nods.

"So did she get an A? Pinkie thats great you passed your pregnancy exam? Not sure why you need one to have a baby but congratulations." Raiden tells them still not knowing what a pregnancy test means.

The girls look at you and back at Pinkie. You then drag Raiden over to you away from your friends.

"What the hell are you doing? Don't you know the word subtly." You say a little mad that Raiden let out the secret.

"Wh…what do you mean? I though they already knew…wait you haven't told them yet? Not even AJ? Oh man I though…oh ok, ok, I can fix this I can fix this." His hands started to shine a bright white.

"I'll erase everyones memory right after you nodded." He cast the spell and all of them forgetting what happen.

"There all better, but really dude, I though your herd knew?" He asked

"No I'm trying to keep it from going out, look let's just keep it between me,you,and Pinkie."

"Ok got it, and sorry next time just let me a heads up ok?" They walk in again and Raiden hugs Pinkie.

"I'm happy you're back Pinkie"

"I'm happy to be back!" She happily

Raiden released her and look at everyone.

"Ok who's next Twilight?"

"Rainbow Dash then we'll be able to defeat Discord."

"Ok then lets move." You all leave the house and toward Dash house

You all get to Rainbow who's laying on a cloud not caring about what's happening.

"Well at least Dash is still the same."

"I don't think she's the same, look at her coat." You mention

"Oh yeah…I see, she's gray as well, ok how do we get to her?"

"Don't worry about that you guys go and get Discord's attention." Twilight said to the three of you

"Ok good luck." You and Raiden leave the group to go search for Discord

You run towards Ponyville's town square and see Discord on a throne happily laughing at the chaos.

"Ok we found him, what now?" Raiden asked

"Ah Dante,Raiden,Eris how are the young generation doing this fine chaotic day?" Discord asked looking at the three friends.

"You know my name? Weird I don't recall ever telling you." Raiden said with a suspicious look

"I'm thousands of years old Raiden I know alot about you, your cousin Dante, Haley, and Virgil."

"Do you know about my father? Or Fracture?" He asked

"The past should stay in the past young Raiden it'll be too much for your little head." He said with a chuckle

"So you know? Please tell me? who is Fracture? Why my father speak so much about it? What's there?"

"My lips are sealed kid try asking someone who cares next time. So Dante how's your day with my daughter been great?"

"Ah I bet you didn't know anything anyway. And I don't know Dante but for me so far its was nice meeting her, although we never had that camp fire, because of a test Pinkie needed to take."

"Very good see Eris I told you you'd have friends someday."

"Someday? Wait Eris are you saying that in all this years only Dante and I had become your friends?" He asked

"Yeah it's kinda embarrassing not having friends to be around." She admitted

"Don't worry you have is as friends." Raiden said pointing to you.

"Thanks." She says with a smile

"Aww how sweet now I believe it's time for you kids to leave this town." Discord stated.

"Sorry? Why would we have to leave the town?" Raiden ask Discord

"You don't wanna get hurt now do you? It's dangerous here and can lead to injuries."

"Yeah because of you and your idea of a perfect town."

"Oh this this is just a playground not my image of a perfect town."

"You only like chaos what its the difference?"

"Many things are different like the place you know will change I will be king and you and anyone in the royal court. Servants."

"Yeah I don't think so, this is where it ends Discord."

"Aw how cute and how do you expect to beat me?" Discord asked with a chuckle

"Not me, them." Raiden points at the girls that are coming with their colors restored.

"looks like you no longer have control over them Discord."

"Give it your best shot girls and no fighting this time." He said with a laugh

You close your eyes and view a different subject you didn't witness Discord turn to stone only a white mask lightly brushed with black ink and half the mask cover with a crimson red ink the other half gold and silver linings.

The man held you down as dark ink dripped on to your head and down your nose. You felt the heavy ink slowly engulf your mouth, and the crimson burn your cheeks. Your breathing became heavy as the gold and silver linings wrapped around your hands and closed your body.

You open your eyes to see Discord turned to stone and your hand was free from any burns your felt stiff. You looked down to see your marefriend Pinkie touch your hand and look to your eyes.

She slowly came closer to your lips and pressed hers on yours. You caressed her cheek as you touched her belly.

She giggled and slipped her hand into your pocket removing the letter. She smiled and put the letter in her bra keeping it safe until later.

Later that day...

Your friends walked in with smiles across their faces. As you say on your throne with the rest of your family.

Your little sister sitting on your lap while your little brother stood next to you with a smile. Your cousin sitting on his own throne while your mother and aunt on their own.

Your father retained his job as personal guard of both your aunt and mother. Not wanting to be a king he rather stay with Luna your mother.

Later that day after the party you were with your friends they were conversing with each other as Pinkie sat with you or rather on you as she happily whispered names of what to call your children if Pinkie was pregnant.

"So... A baby then? Did...did you plan any of this? Was it something you were wanting?" Raiden asked

"I kinda agreed to it after Pinkie asked for it during her birthday she said she wanted someone to be there when I'm not there." Pinkie nodded and kissed you as she held your hand.

"Still, a baby? Isn't that a bit of a giant step? I mean are you going to live together? Are you completely sure that you are prepare for it Dante? No offense Pinkie but a baby means no more parties for awhile." Raiden warned

I know but I'm ready and I'll be a great mommy!" She said happily

"Dante I need your answer are you going to be there for Pinkie no matter what happens you'll be there. Correct?"

"I wouldn't imagine leaving her. I love her and will go through all kinds of shit, just to be with her."

"Then I'm happy for you and wish you the best and I hope you allow me to help you with the baby as well." He says with a chuckle before walking away.

"Dante." You turn to see your father as he cocked his head to his side as if saying come over here.

You moved Pinkie aside as she sat on your spot waiting.

"Dante you're growing since I was young I never knew you'd turn into this adult with problems of your own, I've watched over you since you were a kid. And I wanna say that I'm proud of you and what you're doing though you've had a few vices such as cheating and stealing I know Celestia taught you about the virtues I know."

"Thanks dad." You said with a smile

"Now I wanna tell you something about your heritage as a dark Mage mixed with an alicorn heritage you're easily susceptible to the vices that others spew you may not know it but darkness has a way to overtake anyone with problems of their own. I grant you two gifts an upgrade of your old pistols these pistols were used during my time in Fracture. I grant colt 1191 pistols." Your father opened the box to see silver looking items you grabbed both guns and holstered them as you smiled hugging him.

"Last thing. A mask you must wear and protect with your life as this protects you from the vices of the world you know." He opened a briefcase reveal a mouth less porcelain mask with light dark marks on the mask.

"W-what's this?" You asked clearly afraid of what you saw many hours ago.

"Don't worry, don't be afraid of what it looks like you may fear it now, you'll always be strong no matter what." He informs

You slowly exhaled as you placed the mask over your face. The feeling of magic passing your body felt almost natural. You opened your eyes to see your father nod and pat your back.

"You're a true Knight Dante." You looked towards a mirror and saw your body you were an alicorn your coat black with dark red streaks going across your body.

Your eyes now icy blue, your aura icy blue. You're were different and felt different.

"Dad what happened?" You asked

"The mask helps you reveal your true form and power."

You looked back to the ball room to see your friends happily converse as you removed your mask returning to your human form.

You approached Pinkie and touch her cheek you smiled and asked what the results were.

PSA

PSA

I regret to say this but the story is cancelled alot of you will hate me but I can't keep up this shot any longer.

But here's a sneak peek of my new and revised story Teenagers.

You woke up only a few minutes after sleeping. You needed to find out more about this “emotional scan”. You moved closer to your door to hear noise downstairs. You opened your door to see that Lola was sleeping behind it curled up into a ball.

Carefully you pick her up and placed her on your bed. You walked downstairs to see your friends talking. You hear what they were saying, but you don’t really care.

You entered the lobby to see them all talking. As your presence was made, they turned their attention towards you.

"Dante are you okay?" Pinkie asked.

You ignored her and walked over to the bookcase which had many spells. Unfortunately, none of which pertained towards emotional scan.

You sighed and hit your head on the bookcase.

"I'm even more of a freak." You said aloud.

"What's going on?" Twilight asked.

"I have emotional scan." You simply say and look at more books trying to find anything related to emotional scan.

"Wait, what?" she asks.

"The technique that unicorns can learn that tell them about other ponies emotions. I have that. Anymore questions?" You said harshly.

"Whoa, relax Dante we just worried about you." Rainbow said.

"Well don't be. I have my problems, you have yours." You simply say as you skimmed through many books.

"Dante, why are you acting like this?" Fluttershy asked.

"Look, it isn't your problem so leave me alone." You said as you looked through more books.

"Whoa there partner relax, she's just worried." AJ tell you.

"And why should she?" Again with a harsh tone

"Because she's your friend."
