I woke when the train whistle blew. Damn that thing is loud. I stood and cracked my back, feeling the relieving pops coming from my spine. The place left much to be desired as a sleep spot, but that was the best sleep I had in three years. I just finished stretching when I heard clanking hooves heading towards me. I left the same way I came, through the back door. I opened and closed the door as silently as humanly possible and hopped down to the ground when I just realized something.

I'M FUCKING IN A FUCKING BLIZZARD AND FREEZING MY FUCKING NUTS OFF!!!!!

Holy Hades, did I do something to piss off the gods or something?! Shit!!! As I swore like a sailor in my head, I saw some ponies getting off the train. Six of them, all mares, and nearly a rainbow of colors. The first was a lavender unicorn with a darker mane and tail that had a two-toned pink stripe running through it. On her flank was a purple star burst with smaller white stars around it and on her back was a small purple and green baby dragon. After her was a cyan pegasus with a-I shit you not-rainbow mane and tail and on her flank was a rain cloud with a rainbow lightning bolt. Next up was an orange earth pony with a blond mane and tail that were both tied in ponytails. Weird, I know, but not as weir as the fact that she wore a stetson hat. She had three red apples on her flank. Next up was another unicorn that had a coat as white as my skin. Her mane and tail were an deep indigo and curled. Her flank had three diamonds. Next was pink. That's all I could say, the earth pony was pink. Hot pink coat, dark pink mane and tail that looked like cotton candy. He flank had three balloons, two blue and one yellow. The last one nearly gave my a heart attack from the shear cuteness. A cream yellow pegasus with a pink mane and tail. The mane covered half of her face and she looked like she was trying to make herself as small as possible. Her flank had three pink butterflies.

I saw another unicorn come up to the mares. This one looked like a stallion. He was white as well and had an electric blue mane and tail with a two-toned light blue stripe running through it, just like Purple Star(lavender pony). He wore what looked like a Star Wars Hoth winter gear ripoff and I saw that his flank had a star burst over a shield. "Twily!!" I'll call him Lord Blue. Purple Star ran to him and they hugged a brief moment. They parted and Lord Blue lead them into the blizzard. I followed and stayed out of sight. A few moments passed and I saw that something else was following the ponies. A black mist was closing in on the group and Lord Blue stood his ground while the six mares escaped. Brave fellow, but foolish.

He used a spell that managed to push the mist back, but at the price of black crystals growing from his horn. I never seen that happen before, so I know that the mist has sentence. I followed Lord Blue as he fled and came upon a large pink barrier covering a huge city. I saw Lord Blue head inside, but the mist bounced off and let out a screech. I thought I recognized that mist. I've fought enough of Nyxs children to know that power.

I went to step through the barrier, but was stopped. It didn't hurt, leading me to believe that the screech of out of anger. I was about to find another way in when the mist rammed into the barrier again, making it crack and break enough to make an opening. I moved like hellhounds were on my ass, which I have had happen to me before. I had just made it through when the barrier closed on the mist as it rammed it, cutting off a bit of red horn. I saw that the mist was really a dark unicorn with a blood red horn and a silver crown and a black mane. Everything else about him was covered in the mist.

I ignored the broken piece and headed into the city. I kept to the shadows and saw that the entire city was made of crystals. In fact, the only thing not crystal was the ponies, who looked like someone just murdered their puppies in front of them. Every time Dark King(the mist pony) rammed the barrier, the ponies flinched, some even screamed in fear. I saw the six mares and Lord Blue heading towards a large crystal citadel. I followed, keeping to the shadows, and soon came to a pair large doors. I knew that I wouldn't be able to get through them without being seen so I went to climbing the wall.

I was so glad that there were large enough handholds to climb with. As I was climbing I saw that Dark King had some how made it in. "How did he get in? There shouldn't-THE HORN BIT!!! He must've used that to sneak in!!" I hastened my climb, but Dark Kings mist had already reached the citadel. When I reached the nearest window, I looked in to see Dark King had not only made it inside, but he had also already taken down the six mares, Lord Blue, and another pony. This one was as pink as Poofy Pink(pink earth pony) with a mane and tail that was pink, bright lavender, and yellow. What caught my eyes was that she had wings and a horn. Another princess.

I managed to hear well enough. Dark King was cackling. "At last, after all these centuries, my Empire is mine once again!!" He laughed maniacally before summoning skeletal armored ponies. "Guard the doors, I'm going to enjoy this." The guards left and he turned back to the others.

Lord Blue bellowed. "You won't win!!! The princesses are already on their way!!" Damn, if I want to escape, I better leave.

"Then they will fall and become my slaves, just like you all will be." I froze at that. He's planning to make slaves of his own kind?! That's no better than humans!! I let out a silent snarl and jumped on to a pillar in front of me. I jumped from pillar to pillar till I reached the large chandelier and landed on it, surprisingly not making enough noise to draw any eyes. I looked down and saw that I was just over Dark King. I saw a pole and broke it off, making a staff.

"Besides, none of you are powerful enough to stop me. What makes you think-" I cut him off by slamming an end of my new staff upside his head. He soared and hit a pillar. He stood up and glared at me. "A human?! You dare attack me?!"

Oh, I more than dare you sick son of a bitch. I growled and let out a roar.
