Asuylum

The three time-ponies woke up with enormous headaches, in a white room with each other.

"Ugh, my head.." Koschei moaned.

"What was that stuff?" Theta asked.

"To us, Poison, to them just a simple tranquilizer" Ushas said, as she held a little vial to show the two boys. "Next time you two morons, we shouldn't fight about our home, we should be proud to stand above these ponies, not fight and end up in some sort of insane asylum!"

"I'm sorry Ushas." Theta sighed.

"You better be." Ushas turned around to face the corner of the padded white room. She was angry with her two friends after 100 years she never though that she would be stuck in an equestrian insane asylum.

The door creaked open revealing one of the night guards. Coming in with food for the three. There were three foal sized helpings of daisy sandwiches, hay fries and small cups of apple juice.

"Koschei, its your turn~" Ushas sang.

Koschei smirked as he walked up to the guard. "Excuse me sir?" He asked with an innocent tone in his voice.

The guard looked.down at Koschei. "Yes? What is it?"

My friends and I aren't supposed to be here. Can you lead us out" as he spoke his eyes glowed a golden color, but faded quickly as keeled over clenching his head, and screaming in pain.

The guard just laughed thinking that he was playing around and quickly left the room.

"Theta!" Koschei groaned.

"I'm here for you Koschei." Theta ran towards Koschei laying down holding him in his hooves.

"The Drums, Theta. They get louder, and louder and louder." Koschei looked up and Theta will tears in his eyes, his voice was weak as he tapped a beat of four with his hoof.

Theta looked up at Ushas worry in his eyes, Then he looked back down at Koschei, "Hey Koschei, I've got you." "You're safe with us."

Koschei smiled then closed his eyes.

"Just always remember the twin suns shining down on you, How we played in the red grass at you're fathers estate. Climbing those silver trees Just so we could see the Suns rise over the citadel."

"You're always safe Kos." Ushas whispered, "Look at us together, all three of us... I'll never change."

Theta looked down, and discovered the older time-pony asleep, he carefully slipped out from under Koschei and sat against one of the padded walls stretching his small owl-like wings out, and relaxing up against the wall, closing his eyes to slump off to sleep.

We need to talk Thete, Theta opened his eyes suddenly as he heard Ushas's voice. He looked up at the unicorn who was staring right at him, her red eye's piercing his mind so he could receive the message.

"No we need to talk about you doing this." Theta woke up grouchy, the few times an equestrian month when he did get sleep, he really didn't want to be woken from it.

Stop talking! Ushas's voice bounced through his head involuntarily.

Why? What do you need Ushas, Theta replied the way Ushas was leading to.

The guards are gone. We can get out.

Theta rolled his eyes, Okay how, and why aren't we talking?

Ushas glanced up at a corner of the room, where a small little camera was hidden.

Ohh. We can't wake Kos though, he will probably go into shock.

We have to risk that. But we can go to Rassilon to wake him if needed.

Theta looked at the sleeping timepony. He turned back towards Ushas who was across the room by now. Quickly making a decision he might regret.

What do we have to do?
