My world is shadow and light

"Alright class lets review the last question." with that said sitting in this math class only one think comes to mind.

'God damn it this boring' my brain hurt just listening to this women, but I promised Kage I would try and live a normal life. My math teacher was a short woman with shoulder length dirty blonde hair with a simple tight fitting polo shirt and with a short tight skirt that ends just above the knees. Everybody knew that she love to sleep with the young guys, and what better place than a high school.

"Alright class now with your notes review-

RING, RING, RING.

What the hell? That's the fire alarm.

"Class I need you to form up in a orderly fashion and exit the room!" That would be a nice thing to say when you’re not plowing through the students to get to the door first creating mass anarchy. Finally somebody found the door knob.

"Well come on, open it." some of the students were yelling. 'Really people? It's just a fire, it's not like somebody's got a bomb.' Even with the door open nobody would go out to leave, I was almost ready to use shadow magic to shove them out but someone beat me to it.

"Alright shut up. All of you!" I couldn't see who said it but I could tell it had a 2 toned voice and it had authority in the tones.

"I am here to find the one named Drake, he has lied to you and is a monster to both you and me." Wait, what? What would the voice want me for. Sure Kage and I made a few enemies while running around the world, but this voice sounded like it wasn't from the world. I hear some people start talking asking why this woman wanted me. I started to slowly shift into the back of the crowd while they were distracted.

"Why would you want Drake? He has done nothing to stand out? How is he a monster?" That was my best mate, Anthony. The voice walked in and I could finally see what it looked like. It looked like a woman but she had pitch black chitin instead of skin and had holes in her arms and legs. Her hair was a phantom green going straight down the side of her face. She had on a tight dress that left little to the imagination.

I thought with Anthony talking back would phase he but she actually looked bored from his display. I was shocked Anthony stood at a whooping 6' 5'' and was as built as thick as a wall. He was also a master pickpocket and thief. There was this one time that for a prank we sneaked in to the principal’s office and replaced his chair with a fake one with an air bag in it. Let’s just say that Anthony has the best silver tongue in the world, and my math teacher can agree.

I waited for the woman to back down but the horn on her head started glowing the same as color as her hair. There was a blinding flash; I had to look away for a second. When I looked back all I saw of Anthony was ash. 'She... she.... she. Killed Anthony.' That's when I snapped. I felt as if a part of me went missing. True Anthony and I were friends for a couple of years but he was a brother to me and I couldn't think of life without him. Even with him dead and the rage pouring out I kept my cool, but apparently some emotion leaked out because the woman turned to me and smiled.

"There you are. Are you mad that I killed your friend?" She had the nerve to ask it so innocently as if she never meant to do it.

"Why would you kill an innocent?" I was to the point of throwing myself at her but I knew that would be fatal.

"Because it would be a lot easier to find you if I killed your friends, and look I am almost shaking because of all of the delicious emotion that your seeping." Her eyes had a glazed look to them. She turned back to me.

"And now I have want I came for."

"And what would that be?" I already knew the answer. 'I'm sorry Kage I am going to have to break that promise.' I needed some magic to do what I'm think about. 'She had to have some magic left over from what I assume is a Trans-dimensional teleportation spell. From what Kage taught me was that was a master level spell and should only be done with more than 10 people so you have enough power just to open the gate let alone go through it. While she seemed to bask in her glory on finding me, which I have no idea why, I was busy locating the traces of magic from such an advanced spell. 'Ha, I found it. Ok now to link my magic so I can teleport through the portal.' Once she was done telling everyone the glory of my capture I started to laugh.

"What do you think is so funny you worm!" She screeched at me.

"It's because I now know where you can from and I have to say that such a high level spell preformed by 1 person is quite impressive, but as you are about to see that you. How do you say it, OH yeah! You left the front door wide open!"

With that I teleported the hell out of there through space to god knows where. The ride was quite comfortable so I decided to take a nap on the way there.

When I came too I found myself in-front of a mirror in a dark room. Me being a shadow knight I embraced the darkness with open arms.

"Now to find a way out of here,"

Who was I talking to you might ask? Why myself of course! I looked around for an exit, and being a shadow knight really had its perks. Such as; I could command shadows on a whim, I could blend and encase myself in shadow, and I can also see in pitch black darkness, which is perfect for this situation.

I find a door leading up so I took it. After about an hour of seamless climbing I finally make it to the top to... see... ANOTHER GOD DAMN FLIGHT OF STAIRS!! After this I'm going to turn every flight of stairs into a escalator so that I don't have to climb. After another 2 hours of none stop stairs I make to what appears to be a throne room, there were to thrones that sat upon a dais. One of the thrones looked a little smaller than the other and it had a night time theme to it with a crescent moon on the top. The other throne looked the complete opposite of the other. While the other had a night time theme, this one had a day time theme with all the bright and shiny colors.

"Wow who ever lived here were probably royalty or a very rich person. 'Na it's defiantly royalty no doubt about it.' With that thought I turn around to look at 2 beautiful decorated doors. 'Enough about the doors let’s see where I'm at.' I push open the doors to revel a courtyard but now that I'm looking harder I can see that this place has been abandoned a long time ago. I leave as soon as I can, heading north. Soon I come across a bridge going across a gorge which I can't see the bottom of.

"Well better get a move on I'm wasting moon light." man I really need to work on talking to myself. After I pass, only a few broken boards, I make it to the edge of the woods. Something about these woods rubbed me wrong. I tried to call to the shadows, they didn't respond.

"That's weird. The shadows won’t answer my call. I'm really starting to hate this forest."

I heard some noise off in the distance so I headed that way. On my way there I saw some movement on the edge of my sight, but every time I look it's gone.

"Probably just my imagination." Which I knew wasn't true I could feel their presence since they were using the shadows I could feel them. There were 7 of them, one was bigger than the rest but other than that I couldn't tell what or who they were. A little bit later I get to a clearing with a huge field of flowers nearly as far as the eye could see. Before I reach the opening I hear some laughter. I dove into the bush to avoid attention from whoever is making that noise.

"Come on Pip we're going to miss it!" I looked to see a small child with a light yellow grey-ish coat and a moderate orange mane with a little streak going through it. What really got me was the kid had a camera.

'Huh he's seems to be having fun, but where is the person he called for?' Then I heard the other child run up.

"Hold your horses Feather Weight I'm coming." The kid who said that was running up dressed like... a pirate? 'Yep pirate.'

"Well I wouldn't need to wait if you didn't decide to stop and say hello to Princess Luna before we go get candy. I also need to get some good shots for the Ponyville newspaper."

I watch as the 2 kids head for what I guess is Ponyville.

Crack

I turn to look a little ways away from me to see the 7 beings I felt before. They look just like that woman I saw back at my high school. They had black chitin instead of skin but they had different eyes than the woman. While her eyes showed leader ship their eyes only showed hunger. I realized right then why they were here. They wanted those kids and they were already about to intercept them. I acted before they could get too far. I snuck up behind the farthest one to the back. I molded my shadow to give me a shadow dagger to kill with. I grab his mouth and before he could even take a breath to scream I'd already slit his throat. Moving on to the next one I notice he's talking to another one beside him. 'I'm going to have to get creative.'

I shadow walked a few yards ahead of them waiting. As soon as they came under the tree I slide off the branch and with 2 shadow daggers I stab each in the head. I hold them there in till the last one was far enough where I could drop them. I shadow walk to catch up to him but by then it's already too late. He reached the kids and started to try and eat them, but I finally caught up. I used a shadow spell called Shadow's Law which allows me to kill him if he has wronged before.

As the last of them is dying on the ground I walk up to the children.

"So do either of you know any good burger joints around here?" They look at each other then back to me before they both pass out.

“I wonder why they fainted.” I look behind me to look why and see a gruesome massacre of the bug people. With the blood pooling around the leader it started to run down the hill towards me. ‘Oh so they were scared of the blood.’ I walk over to the kids to see that even with them passed out they both look pretty peaceful.

“Well I might as well get them home; I know I can't just leave them out here." I pick up the 2 kids and start in the direction they were walking before. Not long after I make it to the outskirts of a little village. It was a nice little town and appeared to be medieval styled except for a few buildings. As I was walking I see the town’s people looking at me like I was weird, which I can believe. I mean you teleport into a world with anthropomorphic ponies and bug people. As I was walking through the town I realize that I walk into some kind of festival and to me it looks like Halloween. I see some apple bobbing both, a stall that sold nothing but candy, and last I look to my right and find a big man with a white sheet over his head with eye holes manning a apple stand. I nod to him only to find that he’s not paying me any attention.

“You wouldn’t know where these two come from would you.” I said as I show him the kids. His eyes narrow sending a silent question to me. Why do you want to know?

“I found them at the edge of the forest and they fell asleep at this statue and I decided to bring the home.” The man lessens his stare but still looks like he doesn’t want me with the kids. He then points to a large tree like building in the middle of town. He didn’t need to tell me anymore because his posture said it all. Go there to find out.

"Lyra where are you?!" I look around to see where the voice came from but couldn’t find it. I look back to the man and ask.

“You have any idea what that was?” I said to the huge sheet ghost.

“Nnnope.” Well so much for getting anything out of him. As I walk away from his stall I start to walk in the direction of the building but my vision is blocked out by mint green covering my vision forcing me down to the ground. I start to thrash around trying to knock who or whatever is on me. ‘Huh, do I smell mint?’ I get me arms close to me and push hard enough where the mass wasn’t suffocating me.

"Hey what's the big idea?" Luckily the children fell to either side of me while the mass was still laying on me my. I pushed off the mint green lump to see the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. They were amber with golden flakes burning as bright as a fire in the night. She jumps off me with a heavy blush not looking me in the eyes while I got up. I walk over to the children and I was about to pick them up then head to the tree when I was stopped by a hand on my shoulder. I look back to the beautiful woman and again I fell into a trance looking into those pools of amber.

“What are you doing with those children?" It took me a second to figure out that she was talking to me, but I could put a train of thought together. I look at her body and realize something. ‘DAT ASS!’ I was almost drooling looking at her butt. Unfortunately I moved my eyes up and see that she’s wearing simple blue jeans but tight enough that they were hugging her figure. I drag my eyes up to see her shirt was a mint green shirt with a lyre on it and again it was tight, so I painfully had to look up. If you had good hearing you could hear that I gave a slight whimper when I had to look up.

"Beautiful." I said in a droopy voice.

"What? What did you say?" She was blushing a little bit but it just made her look a whole lot cuter. I found myself being drawn to her as if she was a life line in a storm. ‘Is this what Kage was talking about by say that there is always someone out there who is the one for you.’ I realize that I’ve been staring, so I straighten up trying to look like I had some manners.

"I meant to say that your eyes are the most beautiful I have ever seen." As soon as I said it she started to blush like crazy.

"W-w-w-what d-do y-y-you mean?" Damn that is so cute the way she stutters. I was about to reply when I heard some groaning. I look to my back to see one of the kids waking up. He yawns while rubbing his eyes, and started to shake his head as if he was try to remember something.

"Hey are you alright. Those monsters didn't hurt you did they?" I ask the one dubbed 'Feather Weight.' He shakes his head a little faster while still rubbing his eyes.

"Uhggg I had the weirdest dream that there was a hairless pony talking to me and Pip." The kid finally started to wake up more because he was screaming the top of his lungs looking at me. He jumped off my arm and fell onto the ground still screaming. I look around and see all of the villagers were looking at us. I could also see the big man coming out from behind his stall cracking his big red knuckles.

"It's you! The one that killed the changeling!" The kid screamed while he ran off into the town. Man you didn't have to screech it you know. I mean my eardrums are still ringing from the teleport spell. After he spoke the cute girl turned to me. I could see that she was a little fearful to speak to me now but still looked like she wanted to say something.

"Did you really kill a changling?" She almost sounds.... thankful but still fearful.

I was at a loss for words. I suspect that those bug people are hated by the people of this world. ‘I’ll have to see into that.’ I look to the woman about to ask her something when I realize that I don’t know her name.

“Oh I forgot to ask. What’s your name?” Her face looks like you could fry an egg on it.

"Oh how rude of me, my names Lyra. I’m a musician and I play the lyre. I also am a professor at the Canterlot University, but I’m on vacation right now. It's nice to meet you. I wanted to know are you heading to the library.” She looks down still having a blush on her face.

“I don’t know. What does it look like?”

“It’s the big tree in the middle of town.” Oh so that’s what the building is. I look and see that the other kid was still asleep. I look back to Lyra and walk over to her and mention her to walk with me.

“Yeah I’m heading there now to try and find where this little guy lives.” After saying this she grabs my hand and starts to drag me towards the library.
