The walk to the strange Forest had taken longer than expected.

By the time he finally managed to reach the tree line of the shadowy place, a small amount of sweat formed on the top of his head, due to most of the area before hand being a flat plain, the distance between the recently moved city and forest was considerably further that originally though.

Nova walk a short distance into the shaded woods, before taking a seat on a rather large stump, he brought his new arm up to his eyes, and much like before, it freaked him out, it was a bright white, no other tone or color was present, what really set it apart was the fact it was completely see through.

"Like a ghost." Nova thought to himself, but he quickly shock the idea away. "Ghosts cannot make things burn, freeze or disappear with a though."

His thoughts then reached to the two, and possibly more, murders he had recently taken apart in, that sticky red gore sticking to the wall.

After painting the nearby grass a slightly different shade of green and yellow, he reluctantly turned back to his thoughts, what were the extent of these powers? He pondered as he stared at his arm, to test, he swung his arm out towards a nearby tree, nothing happened.

"Strange." He tried to think back to what his exact movements were, however, that hellish pain that he had been suffering through at the time made it difficult to recall.

"That's right, the glow appeared after I made a fist and swung, then came the pain." To test he closed his hand into a fist, the entire arm started to become brighter and brighter, however it also came with another sensation, as if something was warning him, he felt that if he tried to use more of this power now, he might regret it.

After filling himself with water from a nearby pond, Nova was ready to test, he needed to know what he could get away with, a thirst for knowledge and a sense of curiosity overwhelmed his better judgement.

The first test, his mind, what could he do with it? with thought along he had burnt and froze something.
Reaching into his pocket, he took out a small device, his Mp3 player which he always kept with him, and began to focus his thoughts and will, but stopped himself.

"What do I want to do with this?" He thought for a while, but eventually came up with an idea, and as soon as the idea popped into his head, he applied it, the previous small music device had become a rather large stereo, and with that, Nova suddenly collapsed in pain, falling unconscious.

It was not until some time later that Nova awoke, the feeling of the moderately hard earth he had slept on greeted him.

"uwh, fuck that's a dirty way to wake up." He stood and brushed the dirt from his clothes.

He attempted to walk, only to trip on the nearby stump, luckily he caught himself before he was forced to have a reunion with the earth.
looking over to the stereo he had made, he thought back, the feeling of pain returned to his memory for a second.

"So, test one, I have limits set for me, at this time they are currently unknown but it appears that I get a feeling of intense pain when I push it to far, glad I got that established quickly." He looked for the pond he had saw earlier, wanting to check himself for injury, however he saw something much more concerning, in his reflection, his left eye had become a pure gold light, no iris, or any eye at all was left, only the golden light, he quickly drew back in horror.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck." He thought to himself over and over, panic slowly taking over, he quickly rushed back to the waters edge wanting to confirm it, only to get his wish, but as he looked, a thought appeared in his mind.

"I am looking." the eye still had its ability to see, a wave of relief washed over him.

"All right, new update, it seems this 'warning' I get comes in the form of pain, and with it, something goes away." He grabbed his right arm, it still felt there, but it didn't feel like his arm, if anything it felt like someone else, a frightening though.

Nova looked up at the sky, barely visible through the trees, it had appeared to be morning. "How long was I asleep?" he question out loud, "either way, I feel-" He stopped, how did he feel right now?

Mentally he almost was completely overwhelmed, then recent events almost being to much, he focused on his body.

"I, feel good?" He stood back up from the ponds side.

"More testing, I need to test more." with that, he looked at the new stereo and thought, "I want it to be a mp3 player."

A mp3 player now sat in place of the stereo, and unlike last time, no pain had appeared, a sigh of relief was let out as he quickly pocketed the device.

"I appear to have 'reset' my powers, either from time passing or sleep, the judgement for now is that I have a limit to these 'powers' as of yet the 'powers' limit is unknown, but my usage of it can run out, no maybe not run out, but it comes at a cost if overused." satisfied with this conclusion in mind, Nova quickly took off deeper into the forest.

It wasn't long before Nova noticed something was following him, it was quiet, but it had made mistakes, mainly stepping on twigs he had thrown onto the ground when he felt a presence of another, now he hid above in a tree, finally getting a view on his stalker,

"A group of ponies." he thought to himself, there were six in total, two had wings, two had horns, and two had neither, and on their necks sat necklaces, apart from the purple unicorn leading them, who had a crown on hers.

"Royalty?" Nova thought to himself, but was interrupted when they talked talking.

"Twilight?" The rainbow haired one asked. "Why are we heading to the old castle?"

"I already told you Rainbow!" she replied, a slightly annoyed tone in her voice. "After everything had settled down, the guards went around asking if anyone saw the creature, they found out that it was sighted heading into the Everfree."

"B-b-b-but..... why are we headed to that..... scary castle again?" The yellow pegasus asked, the fear clear in her voice.

"Where else would it be headed?" The orange one replied. "There's not really much else in here as far as we know, and something that evil would naturally go to such a dark place."

That statement caught Nova's attention, "Evil?" he thought, but was interrupted when the white unicorn spoke.

"Dose anypony else feel like were being watched?" 'Rainbow' replied "Rarity, its the Everfree, I'd be more scared if it didn't feel like something was-" The voice had become to distant to hear, leaving Nova with his thoughts.

"A castle in this dingy forest? Strange, if they assume that I went there, then there must be something worth while there in the first place."

With this thought in mind, Nova quietly slipped down from the tree, and followed the group of mares deeper into the forest called Everfree.
