Mare In The Everfree Forest

I buried my face into my hooves as I shook my head. I slowly open my eyes noticing the wooden ceiling above me. I sat up noticing that I had fallen from the bed causing me to groan. I pulled myself to my hooves pushing some of my mane from my eyes allowing me to see the sun coming up. I noticed the door to the room was cracked open allowing the smell of pancakes to enter the room. I grabbed my glasses from the dresser before leaving the room.I was able to get to the stairs hearing nothing but the birds chirping. Once I got to the top of the stairs I started to hear the voices of Twilight’s friends. This is going to be a lovely morning. I moved down the stairs into the main living room. I could hear the voices staying slightly at a whisper trying hard not to get loud.

“Girls you didn’t have to stay the night” I could hear Twilight speaking up as I moved silently towards the table. I noticed Spike was at the stove cooking pancakes and eggs while the others were sitting around the table drinking coffee and eating pancakes. I took an empty spot between Dash and Pinkie Pie silently listening to their conversation. I was able to pull some pancakes towards me as I let out a silent yawn.

“Gosh darn it Twi! We Told ya before we aren’t leaving you alone not with that pony” I looked towards the orange pony noticing that she hadn’t seen me just yet. I started to eat silently as I used my magic to fix my mane and place it up into a bun.

“Yeah…she mean and here I thought she was nice” I looked towards Pinkie as I made a white button-up collared shirt appear as I quickly fixed my fur. Once the shirt was on and buttoned I made a black vest with my cutie mark on one side with the skull and crystal on the other. I placed that over my shirt before rolling the sleeves up. I fixed the collar with two pins one was a crescent moon and the other was a star. I made the brush disappear as I pulled the plate towards me as I noticed Spike was staring at me.

“You need to teach me that trick” I watched as he aimed his spatula towards me. I watched as the others jump in the air before running towards the other side of the table.

“Unless you raise three kids, nine grandchildren, twenty great-grandchildren, and so on. You will never know that trick” I fixed my collar as I picked up a glass of water-guzzling it down “Thank you for the concern but I need to go for a run” I had a smile on my face as I moved to the door.

“Wait why are you dressed like that” I could hear Rarity speaking up. I turned my head towards her as I opened the door.

“I have a back habit of dressing like this when I am stressed” I kept my grin up before walking out and shutting the door behind me. The air was cool against my fur as I moved away from the tree house. Stretching my hooves I started on a slow jog before getting into a full gallop. I moved through the town before finding myself on a large field full of apple trees. I moved through the grove of apple trees landing on the old dirt road leading to the forest. I turned to look at the forest letting a huff out. I needed to get some of my frustration out. I ran towards the forest and through it. I ran towards the old castle as it was the only open and safe space for me to use my magic. I noticed the wooden bridge had fallen again causing me to groan. I closed my eyes and placed one hoof out in front of the other. I watched as a black substance with white and silver sparkles flowed out of the shadows. I placed my hoof on it and to my surprise, it was pretty solid. I continued my walk across the gap. I turned and noticed it was gone causing me some worry. Lately, that stuff was taking over the black shadow that would follow me. I shrugged it off as I moved to an open space in the castle. I created a few earth dummies with my magic before summoning my sword. It was a simple long black-blade sword. It had a silver hilt to it with different symbols of the moon etched on it. I would use my magic to swing the sword at the dummies. Soon enough that wasn’t helping. I changed my sword to my large broad sword giving me more weight to control. I also started making the dummies move and attack. I would change my weapon out every now and then allowing me some practice with the different weapons I held. I was working up a sweat as I placed my broad sword down. I was standing in front of crushed stone huffing as I was trying to catch my breath.

Rolling my shoulder I picked up the sword in my hooves aiming it toward the stone dummies. The sword was getting lighter the more I used it to smash into the dummies. I was down to my last dummy when I heard the sound of hooves running towards me.

“Found her!” I placed my sword down before turning my head to see Twilight with her group of friends.

“You did not half to come and find me. I would have returned in a few hours” I spoke up as I leaned against my sword. I could see the shock on Rainbow Dash’s face as she eyed my sword.

“You have been missing for hours. The day is gone!” I watched as Twilight pointed towards the sky. I glanced up and noticed the moon hanging in the sky as the stars danced in the sky.

“Oh. I do have a bad habit of losing track of time when practicing” I smiled as I noticed Rainbow walking close to my sword.

“How do you wield this?” her voice was filled with shock.

“She does it with magic duh” Pinkie spoke up. I got to my back hooves before gripping the hilt in my mouth and pulling it from the ground. I then placed it in my hooves slinging it over my shoulder. I could see Rainbow staring at me in shock.

“I’ve trained with Toothpick here for half of my life. I even used it while serving the guard” I smiled before dropping my sword and causing it to disappear “I will meet you back at the tree house” I walked past them as I could hear Twilight speaking up.

“I could teleport us to”

“No” I turned and looked towards Twilight shaking my head “I get very sick when teleported anywhere. Please I can walk” I groaned as I turned back to the exit.

“The bridge is” I kept walking as I heard Rainbow pipe up about the bridge. I felt the shadow with the sparkles appear under my hooves as I crossed the gap. I kept going till I reached town. I noticed a few guards standing outside of the forest causing me to shake my head. I walked past them towards the house. I could see the lights on as Spike was moving through the library picking up different books. I slipped past him and walked up the stairs towards the room I was staying in. I pulled the clothes off of my body before changing into my Pegasus form. Opening the window I flew out of it towards a cloud that was hanging above the house. Fixing my wings I cuddle into the cloud drifting off to sleep.

I was standing in a field with a single tree. The stars were shining above as I started to hear weird voices chiming out.

“Is Sister okay?”

“I am not sure? I can feel pain”

“No turnmole”

“Your not sure what you feel!”

“Says you”

“Hello?” I spoke up causing the voices to end.

I snapped as I felt the warmth of the sun on my wings. Lifting my head I let out a yawn as I stretched my hooves. Flying down from the cloud I walked On the paved road towards Sugar Cube Corner. It was the only shop that I knew of that was open during this time of the morning. Walking in I could smell the scent of coffee and sweets. Walking to the counter I tapped on the bell.

“On second!” I heard Pinkie sing out before popping out from behind the counter “New pony! Wait but my Pinkie sense didn’t go off” she rubbed her chin as I chuckled.

“Just passing by. May I have some coffee and a cheese danish please” I smiled softly as she nodded her mane bouncing.

“Of course just take a seat and I will bring it out” she sang out before disappearing. I placed some bits on the counter before taking a seat. I shuffled my wings behind my back as I watched the others in the town start to wake up. I hear the clicking of the dishes causing me to turn around. I smiled as I nodded to her.

“Thank you” I pulled the dishes towards me taking a sip of the coffee. I let out a sigh as I leaned back. My mind was racing as my tail twitched behind me. I took a couple of bites of my danish before the door of the shop opened up. I noticed Twilight was in a panic as she ran up towards Pinkie.

“Twilight! What happened to you?” I watched as she glanced at her friend worriedly.

“She gone! Moon Lily is gone!” she shouted as my ears twitched. I watched as Twilight dragged Pinkie out of the restaurant. I finished my food before placing the plates in a bin with the rest of the dirty dishes. I placed more bits on the counter before walking out. I walked towards the library noticing Spike was talking to others about books. I made one of my favorite books appear in my hooves as I curled up in a secluded spot.

Her breast was rising and falling with each breath she took. Her eyes sapphires they were stared up into his blank stare. He gave her a soft smile allowing his fangs to be seen while his wings spread open. He leaned down and softly placed a kiss on her supple skin. His hooves roamed her body as she let out a moan of delight. He moved his head towards her ear.

“Tonight I will claim them as mine.” His husky voice caused shivers to run along her spine. With one kiss on her neck and the wear and tear of her, everyday life would be gone. Silver would be free to join her love in the moonlight.

I can’t believe half the shit they made up about me and my husband. I suddenly got the urge to close the book as my ears heard shouting. Making the book disappear I walked out noticing Twilight in a panic.

“How is she missing? Celestia is going to send me back to magic school! Or worse!” I watched as she shouted causing me to feel bad. I walked over placing my hoof on her shoulder.

“I’m not missing” I huffed as I pulled my magic asI shook my head fixing my mane “Sorry I got caught up just relaxing a bit. Yesterday was rough and I needed just some time to clear my head” I looked at her as the others stared at me.

“She lying” Rainbow huffed as I shook my head.

“Nah, she telling the truth” Applejack spoke up as I rubbed my head.

“Look I am shrouded in secrets, lies, and shadows. I am not used to being confided in one place. I get antsy and nervous when I am confided. If I know I have multiple exits where I can run then I am fine” I bowed my head as I noticed the others staring at me.

“Secrets?”

“Lies?”

“Shadows?” I noticed that Pinkie, Rainbow, and Rarity spoke up as I sighed.

“My family is an old one up in Canterlot. I am part of the house of Skull Crystal”

“I heard of that family. They have deep ties to Canterlot history. Their house is the only house that hasn’t changed since it was built. I heard the bluebloods have been trying to buy the land and the house to expand” Rarity spoke up as I nodded.

“Yes, my family is an old one. I will not allow the Bluebloods to have my land. Only when the last of our family dies then the house belongs to the crown to be used as a learning place for the night guard. This is how it’s been and is written into the will and deed of the house” I twitched my tail as I noticed Rarity staring at me.

“How do you know this dear?” she flashed her eyes as I pushed my mane back.

“I am the current head of the household. I take care of all the important documents, the bank, and the different parts of the business that we run or that my cousins run” I had a smile as I noticed Rarity staring at me with a smile.

“Oh I must design an outfit for you” she was cooing at me as the others turn and stare at her.

“Well with that out of the way” I chuckled as the others were shaking their heads.

“So, will you tell me where you learned the language?” Twilight looked up at me as I groaned a bit. I looked to the side as I licked my lips before biting my lip.

“Only if you do one thing” I huffed my heart pounding in my chest. I did not want to do this but I can’t keep this on my chest as its tearing me apart.

“Send a letter to Princess Luna. Tell her exactly this “Lulala your ear is taken by the pony name Necro, and when you extend your hoof to point to battle. Your left will carry out your will. A pony name from a metal Silver commands your guard to swift victory” Send that to her and well just wait” I smiled as I watched them staring at me.
