Darkness, that is all Frost can, feel, see and sense. Where ever he is, there is no up, down, light, air, absolutely nothing. "Where Am I? Is anyone there? How do I get back?" These are the questions he keeps asking with no answer. Please I don't want to be here Is all Frost can think, and still nothing happens. Seconds turn into minutes, minutes into hours, hours into days, days into weeks. Frost has gone insane at this point, his hair is falling out, his ribs are showing, he has bruises and cuts from hitting himself, to see if he could feel pain. Which he could not. Not real, it's not real, Am not real Is the thought that goes around Frost's head.

His hunger and self withering away stop 2 weeks ago, for all he can tell. Its has so far been 9 months, since he came here. And he has no idea how to get out, that's if he was truly real in the first place. Looking down with his shoulders slouched, he stays still for a very long time, not even moving an atom of his body. This goes on for weeks, months and years.

It has been 14 years since the last time Frost moved. His hair has completely gone, even is coat is starting to fall off, leaving small bald patches over his body. His bone structure is more pronounced, leaving an almost skeleton version on him self, with just some skin and muscles. He eyes that once showed life, now show only emptiness. Frost has started to forget some memories of his past, including some from Equestria. He can't remember where he was born, and what his parent looked like. As time goes on, he is only going to get worse.

It has been 37 years, and the once young healthy Alicorn. Is now an old withered, almost lifeless Alicorn. He now can't even remember his name, never mind his past. For all he knows, this has always been. Frost has lost his coat completely, his is missing some bits of flesh, that he has tired to eat or has simply fallen off. It has been a very very long time, since Frost has even spoken one word. He might not even be able to anymore.

"Frost" Says a just audible voice behind him. Turning around he see's nothing, no one or no pony. Who is Frost? Frost asks himself.

"Frost" With the same results as last time, he goes back to looking down. He then gets a weird sensation, pressure on his shoulder. It almost feels real, if real is actually real and not imagination. Looking up he see's a creature, it has 4 legs, wings, horn, light grey coat, light blue eyes and white hair? Frost doesn't even flinch, he has on more than one occasion dreamt of something been there, when it isn't. Ignoring the creature, he goes back to what he has been doing for over 40 years.

"Frost, you need to remember" The voice says again. Frost tries to ignore it further. The creature walks around to his front, and looks his straight in the lifeless eyes. "Frost, your friends need you". What friends? Frost thinks. "Frost, your friends are in trouble. You need to remember, to wake up."

Frost tries to talk, but all that comes out, it dust and air. "Why can't I talk?" Frost asks himself

"Because your vocal cords have withered away into dust." The creature says.

"Wait you can read my mind?" The creature nods. "Do I even have friends? Was I even real?"

"You are real Frost, if you wasn't, you wouldn't be able to think. You wouldn't be able to forget, to question your existence. And yes you do have friends." The creature says

"Who Am I?". Frost looks up to the creature.

"You are Josh Winter, or you are now known as Frost Winter." This name echo is his mind, for some reason. "That is all I can tell you. You have to remember the rest. Good luck Frost, I have to leave you now." The creature says, fading into the darkness. Frost can't even think fast enough, to stop him.

Who Am I? And why does Frost Winter seem familiar? Frost asks himself.

BANG

What was that?! Frost jumps a little, still sitting down. He sits and waits, but he doesn't hear it again. I wonder what that was? Hmm maybe Pinkie was setting off her party cannon. Wait who is Pinkie? Where did that memory come from?

BANG

That was funny when we played pranks on the town. Frost chuckles in remembrance. Where Am I getting this memories from? Are.... Are this mine?

BANG

With each BANG Frost got a memory back, until he started to remember more than one. When this happened it felt, like his brain was trying to push its way out of his head. Blood started flowing out of his muzzle, he skin started to change. Bits of it was like something small trying to get out. All over his body this happened, getting a bubbling effect. His coat, mane and tail start to grow back, his insides too. Frost felt pain, he actually felt pain. I'm real? Is all he could think with the pain.

The pain suddenly stops, now lying down is the Alicorn that was before he came here. Frost is back!

"C.....k.....e......at......one....." Says a muffled voice, coming from somewhere. His starts to fall asleep, and his vision turns into darkness.

Frost slowly wakes up, and he is cold for some reason. And the thing he is laying on is very hard and un-comfortable. Opening his eyes, slowly. His vision is bleary and hazy, he can only see a select few colours, dark green, brown to dark brown and black. After a few seconds his vision starts to focus and he can see better. He can now see he is in some kind of forrest or just some where with trees. His vision is still not 100%, so he can't see at a distance yet, walking forward he see's something made out of wood. Getting closer, it comes clear to him its a bench. But its broken and has burnt marks Odd, ponies are not normally the vandalism type Frost thinks to himself.

WACK

Frost clutches the back of his head in pain. Something hit his head, frost feels some liquid slowly flowing down. Getting some of the stuff off the back of his head, it's a cream colour, kind of looks like potato mash, just more solid. A bit chunk of it falls to the floor near Frost's hoof. Frost examines it and it appears to be an apple, or used to be. Looking around he see's a small brown Pegasus colt, he has black hair, hazel eyes and has his hoof in front of him, like he threw something. The old grey Unicorn, quickly grabs the colt, and pushes him behind him. The old Unicorn has an orange coat thats fading in colour a bit, Frost can't see his eyes because they are behind a pair of red sunglasses and his coat. The old unicorn also has a white long beard and moustache. The old Unicorn has a look of pure fear on his face.

"I'm sorry, please don't hurt him. I will take any punishment you see fit, just please don't hurt him!" The colt behind him, is pulling his skin under his eye down and stick out his tongue.

Frost is beyond confused, why would he hurt any pony. And he has never met this pony before, yet he seems to know him. "I.... I... err" Frost clears his throat, and uses the technique Cadence taught him, to calm himself. Getting back his composure, he looks towards to the pony and young colt. "Sorry, but I think you have me mixed up with some pony. I've never met you before. And who you ever were talking about sounds like a flank hole." Frost puts his hoof to his mouth and has a look of embarrassment. "Sorry, It just slipped out... hehe" He rubs the back of his neck.

"Is this a joke?!" The pony asks.

"No, why?" Frost asks, the pony gets angry at this

"ARE YOU SERIOUS?! YOU KILLED THE PRINCESSES, ENSLAVED EQUESTRIA AND WORSE!"

"WHAT?! THE PRINCESSES ARE DEAD??" Frost falls on his rump. "No.. This can't be.... Who the hell is strong enough to beat them?" He says under his breath.

"If you're going to kill us, just do it already, you bastard!" The pony says getting into a defensive stance.

Frost says one simple, but powerful word. "Sorry", this confuses the pony. "Sorry? SORRY?! I SHOULD KILL YOU..."

Frost looks at him, tears are flowing down his cheek. The old unicorn stops in his tracks, and starts laughing. "I never thought I would see the all mighty powerful Dark Frost crying! HA...."

Frost looks at the pony directly and asks "Who the hay is Dark Frost?"

"YOUR DARK FROST!! PLEASE TELL ME YOU HAVE GOT BRAIN DAMAGE, SO WE CAN GET RID OF YOU ONCE AND FOR ALL!!" The old pony says

"What?" this only confuses Frost more "I'm not Dark Frost" he mumbles.

"What was that, if you expect me to kiss your hooves, forget it, you MONSTER!!" And he punches Frost right below his right eye.

"I'M NOT DARK FROST!!!!" Frost shouts, surprising the pair. "I'm not Dark Frost, who ever this is, I'm not him. I would rather DIE!! than hurt any of my friends. Please tell me where I can find this Dark Frost." Frost begs the old pony.

"Yeah and I'm the princesses dad. STOP PLAYING GAMES WITH US!!" The unicorn shouts, but something is off about him, something the old pony can't put his hoof on just yet. "Wait................... Your serious ain't you? But how...."

The colt behind him speaks up "He's lying Grampa, don't believe him, remember everything he has done! its probably just some trap of some kind"

"No.... He's telling the truth, I can tell. But I don't know how he is. If I told you where to find Dark Frost, what would you do?"

"Bring that bastard to justice, make him pay for killing my friends" Frost says with a look of pure anger.

"If you're not Dark Frost then who are you?" The pony asks

"Frost Winter and you a....." He doesn't get to finish his sentence, because he looks at the pair, who have shocked looks on their faces.

"So you're telling us that, you, are the Prince who Dark Frost killed and over took his body?" Frost looks at them confused.

"What do you mean, killed me and over took my body. And how do you know I'm a prince, it hasn't been announced yet, and before I got here I was in training for it." Frost looks at the pair eyeing them, trying to read their minds, but fails.

"What do you mean hasn't been announced yet, it's been 5 years since it has. And Dark Frost got into Prince Frost's mind and killed his mind and then over took his body. So there is no way your him, so who are you?" The pony tries to say calmly.

"I really Am Frost Winter, how could I prove it to you?" Frost asks.

"Well, their might be one way" The Old pony says

"How?" Frost asks

"Whats the last thing you remember before coming here, specifically you're training?"

"Well, I just finished the training with Shinning Armour, and I asked Celestia a... personal question, and I got angry and extremely sad. Then I went into the Meditation Room to try and calm down, and the last thing I remember is some voice and then nothing but dark and cold."

The old pony is now shaking and sweeting profusely, the colt behind him asks "Whats wrong Grampa, you look like you seen a ghost."

Frost looks at the pony and agrees "Yeah, you don't look so good, are you ok?"

"I.... I.. Err... Huh" Frost nudges the pony to get him out of his thoughts, who coughs to clear his throat. "Well, I used to be on the royal guard. And when Frost went into the Meditation Room, there was a incident, and when he woke up, he had no memory of it. In fact, the last 6 months were hazy. Princess Celestia couldn't help but think, there was a bad reason for that. Because Frost who came out was never the same." The pony stops and looks at Frost "Maybe.... Just maybe.... Would you let me see your memories, so I can see something?"

"Ermmm...." Frost begins to say

"It's ok, I won't do anything you don't want me to" Frost nods, and the old Unicorn powers up his horn, and points it to Frost head, and places it on his forehead.

Frost vision goes black, and he can't hear a thing, until he hears a hoof step next to him. Opening his eye's he see's a black and white version of the pony he just met. So is everything for that matter. He looks around and he is in the hall room, in the Wing he spent doing his training. He tries to move and look around but he can't, he is stuck in this position, he can only move his head.

"Why would you want that?" Frost hears from the kitchen, it sounds like Twilight.

"BECAUSE MY ONLY FRIEND THINKS I'M DEAD, AND I CAN'T LET HER KNOW I'M ALIVE!!!" Frost hears a voice scream that sounds like his own.

"YOU THINK WE ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS?!!! HOW DARE YOU!! IF OUR FRIENDSHIP MEANS THAT LITTLE TO YOU, THEN FORGET IT!!" Frost hears a pop.

A while after a Alicorn, that just looks like him, only black and white. The Alicorn walks out of the kitchen and reads the sign for the Meditation room. After a like 20 seconds, the Alicorn walks into the room and the door shuts behind him. What happened next, surprised Frost, Outside the small window, Frost see's day and night change, to each other and only getting faster and faster, until it gets lower and stops on night.

The door to the wing opens and in walks a tired looking Twilight, who looks like she has had better days. "I swear, if he says something like he did before. So Celestia help me, I shouldn't be accountable for what I would do." She mumbles under her breath. She walks into the kitchen, and comes back out. Then heads into the bed chambers area, then a while after comes back out. The look on her face, she looks like she is getting worried. She heads into the garden area, then the library, bathroom and finally both Arena's. After this, now she is worried, but there is only one last room she has not checked, and thats the mediation room.

Twilight slowly edges, towards the door and extends her hoof, to the door. But she stops, reaching out and pulls back for some reason. On a closer look, Frost can see ice start to form on the door. "Okay.... Okay... Pull it together Twilight... Frost could be in there... And he could be in trouble...... Ok calm.... calm. Lets see, I'll use this." Twilight's horn starts to glow, and it shots to the door, upon impact, the magic energy, shoots up and forms a flat square. It appears to have something similar to a heart beat monitor, and a few other things. "Oh no..... FROST!!" Twilight shouts, she tries to ram the door, but it doesn't budge a millimetre. She tries everything she can think off, even launching a fire bast at the door. She falls to the floor crying "I'm sorry Frost, I'm so ...... wait a minute" She suddenly stops crying and teleports somewhere.

Not long after a flash of light flashes near Frost. After the light deems he can see the two princesses of Day and Night. They run over to the door, and charge there horns. And with a huge blast, the door or what was left of it is blown away. The pair walking over to the doorway and look in, and they stop for some reason. Twilight joins them and like the Princesses she stops dead in her tracks upon seeing something in the room. The trio just stand there, until one of them tries to talk, the key word is tried. It isn't until Celestia breaks out of her shock, that the other two are out of their initial shock states. Frost can't hear what they say at this point, but some time after they come out, and by some I mean Luna and Clestia, they are holding in their magic aura's Frost and Twilight's completely frozen bodies. Frost vision starts to fade into darkness and nothingness.

Frost hears a similar voice call out to him, and a few pokes to his right of his torso. With a grunt, Frost opens his eyes to see the old unicorn from before, with a concern looks upon his features. Frost is still in the forest or park or what ever it is. And he is on the ground, and his tea is throbbing. The unicorn out holds a hoof, to help Frost up from the ground. Frost takes to the hoof, and is helped up. Looking to his right he see's the young Pegasus colt, with one of his long wings in his hooves.

"What.... Happened?" Frost asks rubbing his head.

"Well, to prove who you are, I took a look at your memories. And I was looking for a specific memory, well that and others. While you were stuck in one memory, I was looking at a few others. And you are without a doubt..... Frost Winter.... Sorry for... you know, please forgive me your highness." The old pony says.

"Ermm... Theres no need to do that, I'm not royalty yet, and not entirely comfortable with it yet" Frost says. "I'm sorry I wasn't there for you Celestia" Frost says under his breath. "Sorry, but I didn't get your name mr...."

"Master Rinzai Turtle, but my friends call me Master Rinzai or just Rinzai, Sir and this behind me is Turbo Brisk. He's my grandson" Sensei says with a smile.

"Hello, sorry for you know..... Hitting you with an apple, saying you're the bad guy and stuff" Turbo says looking down in shame.

"Hey ... it's ok, this Dark Frost sounds like an awful guy, you where only protecting your grandfather." Frost says bring to cheep up the young colt.

"So where you serious before, about bringing Dark Frost to justice?" Rinzai asks.

Frost nods "So can you tell me where he is?" Frost asks looking to Rinzai

"Yes....." He hesitates "I don't where if I should.... Yet that is. I don't know whether Princess Twilight is still alive, and Prince Cadence is stuck in the Crystal empire, for good." Rinzai looks to Frost to see his confusion. "Let me explain... Before Dark Frost could get to her and her subjects, she used to Crystal heart, he own power and some power from her subject to put up a force field. However it was to powerful for her to control properly. It was only supposed to keep him out and let others, who weren't effected by him, in. But instead it keeps everyone out and them in also, because when it went up, Dark Frost did something to it, and the only way to get her out is to defeat him. Prince Shinning Armour is with her, so that means you are the only royalty left.... And our only last chance of defeating Dark Frost. And I doubt you are ready to defeat Dark Frost when both the Princesses and Discord failed to defeat him. He pushed them away like they were nothing."

"So what? You expect me to sit back, and let him do even more?" Frost says with a hint of frustration.

"That's not what I'm saying at all..... You might be a lot stronger than me, but, strength isn't everything. And I have some techniques and spells that might help you. However this isn't for the faint hearted, you could very well die from trying." Rinzai says

"I .... Dont.... Care" Frost says jabbing Rinzai with his hoof at every word. "I will take that bastard down."

Rinzai sighs "Very well, however before I can teach you, we have to get to Windhelm. It's the only safe place left, that Dark Frost doesn't know about. Or at least not yet." Rinzai explains while putting Turbo on his back.

"Windhelm? I've never heard of that before, and it wasn't on the maps of Equestria Twilight showed me." Frost says

"Thats because It's not in Equestria... Its in the Griffin Kingdom. Well, technically it's in both Griffin and Dragon territory. But the dragons don't use it, because most dragon's, are fire breathers, and its in a mountain Morrowind's side. Which makes it very cold place, only dragon's that can breathe ice and frost can live there because of that. But it will take a few weeks to get to Windhelm, at tops 2 months. So if you truly want to be Dark Frost, you will have to follow us, I warn you the travel conditions are not to be taken lightly." explains Master Rinzai

"It can't be that bad can it?" Frost asks a little worried.

Master Rinzai waves a hoof "Nah.... It's will only have a few small inconveniences... such getting blisters, aching muscles, thrust, hydras, other dangerous creatures, deserts, frozen lands, tropical forests and lots of bugs, so you know not to bad." He says sarcastically. "We will be dropping of Turbo here, in the first town we come across that not in Equestria, which is Riften. After that it will just be me and you Frost. It will take around 2 weeks to get there, and the rest to Windhelm. And another thing, there is are a few conditions, if you want my help."

"Do I have a choice?" Frost asks, which only gets a slap behind the head as a reward.

"Nope." Rinzai simply says and carries on "Number one: You will do what I say, and don't complain. Number two: We will make that royal jewellery of yours a lot heavier as times goes on. So we can make you physically stronger. Number three: It will be your job to get fire wood, clean the pots, and bed sheets. And the most important rule, Number four: Follow condition slash rule, even if I say to leave me behind, if there is some sort of danger or some other to the extreme."

"This is going to be greet" Frost says under his breath.

"What did you say?" Asks Rinzai

Frost straighten up alert. "N-Nothing!"

Rinzai smiles "Great..... And just for your remark, you will have to carry Turbo until we stop to camp for the night."

Turbo protests "WHAT?! But I'm not even tired! I could stay up for the week, then I'll show you!"

"Oh really, Well, okay you can stay up then." Rinzai says knowing what is going to happen.

-------------------------------------------- 3 HOURS & 27 MINUTES LATER ----------------------------------------

Turbo is currently asleep on Frost's back snoring like a dead pig (as the saying goes, but wouldn't a dead pig be silent and not snore at all. Oh well). "I can't believe this, first I'm made into royalty which I didn't really want, and then theres a reason why I want to, but can't remember or put my fing.. hoof on. Then I had to deal with Twilight's read and lecturing torture, and Shinning's training regimen, Cadence's manners fiasco, finding out both the princesses are dead, some of my friends are stuck somewhere and the others I simply don't know and now this." Frost says mumbling to himself.

Master Rinzai is in front of him, dragging the cart with his and turbo's stuff in it. Frost looks in the sky and its night, I wonder if its night all the time, what without the princesses to raise and lower the sun & moon. Or is it on depending on where you are on the planet. I guessing the latter, but then again magic and apparently they rotate around the planet instead of the other way, well apart from the moon. But would it be easier to rotate the planet instead of moving the how heavy the ball of gas is called the sun, and... Frost thinks to himself, but is brought out of it by Master Rinzai.

"This looks like a good place to set up camp for the night, metaphorically speaking of course." Rinzai says

It is now Frost looks at his surroundings, they are in a clearing of dark trees, there is a big flat top bolder, with fallen leafs on top. Rinzai gathers some rocks and twigs, placing the rocks in a circle dimension, and the twigs on top of each other in the middle. Satisfied Rinzai lights his horn and shoots a spell at the twigs, then instantly catch fire and start to burn, slowly. He then walks over to the cart, and pulls out some big bag. Opening it up, he pulls out a tent and 2 sleeping bags. He then looks over to Frost

"Sorry Frost, but we haven't got a sleeping bag that's big enough for you. But there's enough room for you, in out tent, with us. However don't get used to this, I'm only being nice, because you start tomorrow. But for tonight you can just relax."

Rinzai put Turbo in his sleeping bag, which was set up in the tent they had. It's nothing fancy, just a normal dull green tent, but its just bigger than average ones is all. Rinzai and Frost spend a few hours talking to each other, mostly just reminiscing about before Dark Frost and Frost's training. As it turns out, Dark Frost killed Turbo's parents, who sacrificed them selfs, so Turbo could get away with his Grampa. And Rinzai is talking him to his Uncle, in Riften.

------------------------------------------------------ THE NEX DAY --------------------------------------------------------

It's early mourning off the next day (but still night), and there is a strange smell in the air, or at least for uncivilised creatures. The old unicorn is currently next to the fire humming a soft tune as he works, little did he know of the attention he is getting. Frost and Turbo are currently fast asleep in the tent. The unicorn has a little set up, using the fire for the heat, and his magic to hold the pan over it, big enough to make scrambled egg, with some bread set a side . The unicorn is about to go the pair in the tent, when he hears a loud thump not to far away. With his age and lack of light, its hard for the old pony to see far. But he can just make out something in the tree line. The figure steps out of the tree's and walks over to the camp. Now able to see, somewhat of the figure. It turns out to be a really big, almost see through blue bear. It has a star mark on its forehead, navy blue nose, yellow eyes & red pupils and dim stars in its coat. It claws are also impressive, even for a bear of its size.

"Well, hello there. I'm sorry if we awoke you, be we won't be here long." Rinzai explains, but the bear doesn't buy it. It quickly swipes down its paw with the razor sharp claws towards the old unicorn. For onlookers this is a dire situation, and one that will only end one way. But the old unicorn, doesn't even move, he just stands there. As the claws are about to tear him a new one, the old unicorn disappears in a flash. And the claws and paw, follow through crashing to the floor. The Ursa picks up its paw, to take a look at it's squashed meal, but is surprised to not find even a little of it. The Ursa then hears a twig being step on behind him, so turning around quickly, he spots his breakfast. But weirdly the pony is standing on its hind legs, with a serious look on its face.

Lets see how you handle a winters breeze Rinzai thinks to himself. Powering up his horn, the thin old pony, starts to get more thicker and thicker. Until the pony is virtually the muscular pony version of body builders. His hooves start to glow blue, putting them together, he then puts one of the hind legs forward, and with great force pushes one of his fore hooves forward. This creates a strong wind, strong enough to send the Ursa into a tree behind it. The Ursa crashes into the tree, its eye's pop out like in cartoons, and it falls to the floor with a loud thump. The unicorn starts to walk to the Ursa, who is now whimpering like a dog. "It's ok, I'm not going to hurt you. Your just hunger aren't you, well unfortunately we haven't got enough for you to eat. But if you head that way for 15 minutes, you will find a huge lake with fish that will make your mouth water."

The Ursa slowly gets up, and nods. It walks away with a small limp Good, it hasn't got any cuts. So they won't get infected at least, but that crashing landing will probably leave a nasty bruise. Oh well, Ursa's are tough creatures, even the young ones, that Ursa Minor will be just fine. Now where was I? Oh yes, making breakfast Sensei thinks to himself. Walking back to the camp, and the fire, the unicorn finishes off the food, and sets it on some old wooden plates he has. He then proceeds to wake up the sleeping pair in the tent, which is no easy task Young people, why are they so sleep dependent. The old like me should be like that, not them, its ironic really. He thinks to himself, then a idea comes to mind. Taking in a deep breath, his chest starts to puff out, and he doesn't stop till he can't suck in more air. The old pony the gets into a more stable position, bracing himself for something.

WAKE!!!!!!!!! UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The old unicorn shouts so loud that even a dragon would be impressed, but also hiding in fear.

The tent practically, shoots off the ground, the only reason it didn't fly into the sky. Was the lines they had tied to hooks in the ground. This has the desired effect, and the pair shoot up so fast, they almost get whiplash. Holding their ears in pain, the pair look around for what caused the ear deafening sound. But its hard to see when you just woke up and are disoriented. But their vision sets on the old unicorn.

"What the hell was that, was that you?" Frost asks, with a little bit of fear, of what he has gotten himself into.

The Unicorn simply nods and walks outside of the tent "By the way breakfast is ready". The old pony doesn't even have the chance to take another step, and a blur of colours shoot past him, and towards where the food is at. When he arrives, he see's a young colt soughing down the food, not even, chewing the food. The alicorn prince is not much better, but is chewing at least.

"hmhmm hmmhm hmhmmhm" The young colt says

"Try and say that, without food in your mouth" Rinzai says

The young colt known as Turbo, swallows the mouth full of food with a loud gulp. "I said, where are we heading to day gramps" he finishes with a burp.

The unicorn is a bit disgusted with this colt's manners "Well, our first top will be Tall Tale town, its near smokey mountain. It will take around week to get there, and we will need to get supplies..... And maybe there will be nice ladies there ...hehe" The old unicorn says going red at the thought. "Oh... that reminds me" The unicorn says, shooting a spell at Frost, or more specifically at his royal jewellery. The alicorn immediately falls to the floor, with a "ummphh". Frost tries to get up, but can't What the hell did he do? Frost says to himself. "I have double the weight of your fancy jewellery there, this is going to be the lightest it will be on our little trip. Normally I use turtle shells, but as you can see, I don't have any at the moment, so this will do for now. After each town, city, or settlement we come across, the weight will only be made more, so get used to it." The unicorn smiles at walks to the cart to put their stuff away. "And you have to wash the dishes, so you better get started."

Damn you, you old fossil Frost thinks to himself. At this moment in time, Frost can't get up, what with now being out of sleep mode properly. So he decided to use his magic, to do the dish washing. "Don't forget to not break those dishes, they are very delicate to magic" Rinzai shouts back, as him and Turbo start walking off, leaving Frost behind. God, please kill me now Says Frost in his mind, but thankfully, nothing happens. Frost moans and gets to work.

It is like this every day for the next 10 days. The old unicorn would cook the meals, and leave Frost to clean them with his magic or his hooves. Also he made Frost pull the cart, to add that little more weight. As the days went on, it got slightly easier for Frost, but when the 7th day roll'ed along, something happened they didn't expect.

They where walking through a blossom trees area. It was a very nice sight, colours of pinks and reds. Frost was admiring the scenery, when something jumped down from the tree's in front of them. Scaring Turbo the living days out of Turbo in the process. Rinzai wasn't even flinch at eye lid, at the sudden entrance of the newcomer. The newcomer was wearing a black outfit, with gold highlights going from the shoulders to the belt around the pony waist. Which was tied with a golden cloth material, with the bit after the knot, hanging loose. There where also gold bands at each end of the sleeves at each hoof. Frost couldn't see the face because of the black hoody and black material and a golden headband to cover the forehead, covering most of the pony features expect the eyes. There is a symbol of a dragon on the pony's chest made form you chest it, gold material. "Dark Frost, I have come to kill you, now prepare yourself." The pony runs to Frost, with greet speed. Frost doesn't even have time to register what has happened. When the pony has a sword, pointing at almost touching Frost's neck ready to cut his head off. A hoof stops the sword from doing its job, and the new pony falls to the floor.

"You know it's not nice to kill pony's you just met." Rinzai says, bring his hoof back to the floor. The pony gets back up and charges at Rinzai. The new pony tries all he might, but the old unicorn doges his attacks like paper in the breeze. I didn't know old ponies could move that fast Frost thinks to himself. The new pony jumps over Frost and Rinzai, and grabs Turbo, holding his sword to the colts neck.

"That's enough, how dare you mock me. You will not move from your spot or the colt gets it, catch my drift?" Frost and Rinzai grit their teeth in anger, but don't move a muscle. "Don't worry, once I've killed you two, I will raise him like my own. I always needed a slave, to do my bidding." The new pony sends a few punches and kicks to Frost and Rinzai faces, bruising at cutting them in the process. Enjoying it every hit, so much so he is laughing evilly. "Ok, I've had my fun, now time for what I came here to do, any last words Dark Frost?"

"Go to hell, you pyjama wearing freak" Frost says with blood dripping from his mouth.

"Well, its been fun, but I've got to cut this short." The pony says raising his sword ready to strike. Frost shuts his eyes, reading herself for the incoming blade.

CRUNCH

Frost hears a scream that should never come from a pony, it's a high pitch scream. Frost opens his eyes to see the sword and the pony's arm, in a huge bears mouth (It's the Ursa Minor Sensei met before). There is blood pouring out of the mouth like a waterfall, the pony lets go of Turbo and punches the bear in the nose. This only causes the bear to bite down more, and the pony falls to the floor, missing a leg and sword. Turbo and Rinzai look to each other and nod, they grab Turbo and their stuff and run away. Hearing the scream of the pony for a while till it suddenly stops.

They kept running, till there legs couldn't take them any further. Till their hooves where bleeding, and so on. They stopped in unison and fell to the floor. Turbo still being on Rinzai's back, shaking from his experience, not only being held captive, and threatened to be killed and then seeing a pony being killed by a Ursa in a terrible way, even if the pony was the one who threatened to end his life. "I... think..... we.... should.... stop.... for..... the.... night.... I'm.... too.... old..... to.... go... any.... further" Rinzai says through gasps for air. So the group settled down for the night, not even bothering making something to eat, or making the tent erect (giggity) properly. How ever once Turbo got to sleep, neither Frost and Rinzai could sleep. Turbo was screaming at the top of his lungs, clearly having a nightmare about what happened the day before. Frost and Rinzai, agree'd to use a memory block spell, on that specifically memory, but Frost didn't know the spell, so Master Rinzai has to cast it, which took more out of him, then he would ever like to admit. The rest of the days to Tall Tale town were uneventful, but thats was a relief, to Frost that is.

The climb up to the town, was a challenge, even if there was a pathway up. Once at the top, they were met by a big sign made out of a white looking wood. The sign is sporting some damage here and there (as in cuts ranging from slight to deep, and bits missing, ranging the same way). But the letters for the town and other information were still intact. It only took, a few minutes till the town itself came into view. It was a small town, limited to what size it could be, by the amount of space available. The buildings were reasonably separated in space. The buildings them selfs, looked a lot like buildings in Ponyville, just made out of the same white wood the sign was made out of. There were only like 20 ponies outside, walking about, doing their own thing. But there was something wrong about the atmosphere , that Frost couldn't put his hoof on. Never less, the trio where starting to walk into the town, when Sensei step in front of Frost.

"I think it would be best, if you wait here Frost." Craning his head to look at Frost

"What.... Why?" asks turbo, who is standing next to Frost.

"Because we don't want to cause mass panic, just look how we reacted when we first saw him. So I'll go and get a cloak or something so Frost can cover himself up, but until then stay here ok?" Frost reluctantly nods

The grandfather and grandson starting walking to the town, leaving the cart with the heavy stuff and stuff they don't need to carry with them, with Frost.

What lays ahead for Frost, Rinzai and Turbo? And will Dark Frost come to justice? Only time will tell.
