"Oh...right! That is the town that lady Luna goes to often and is the town that the elements resi-crap. Well that blows up that idea. But I need to restock and lay low somewhere!" Moonlight yells before getting on his knees "If I persist like this, I will die. I need a place to hide and rest. Hell, if I do it for a while maybe my family will think I'm dead and stop searching. I just hope that I find a place soon." What were the other towns near by? Moonlight thought as he pulled out a map So here is Ponyville. The only town that is near by would be here, Coatson. And from what I heard, it is the perfect place to hide for the wrong reasons.

One Hour Later...

                                                                                                                                                                                    

Coatson. A marvelous town if you like ruins, crime in broad daylight, intercourse in public, murder and other nasty things. Police, what are you talking about? Even the princesses won't touch this place for good reason. They fear that their guards would be killed and afterwards, do I need to say more? You only come here to hide or to get away with any crime. You have bits, you better have a weapon at the ready. The only rule is to not buck with the Black Whispers gang and you can know that they are near by a single song that you hear in your head.

Moonlight arrived at the edge of town to have knifes pressed against his neck until he summoned his weapon and showed then he had nothing that would "ruin" their way of life. As he continued, he had to force himself not to kill ponies for all the dishonorable acts that were happening around him. He felt a hoof on his shoulder and as he turned around he saw a hooded figure. Before he could say something the figure said in a mare's voice "You don't like the acts happening around you, at least not yet. I can give you a place to stay for now, on one condition. You must not give into temptation under my roof." "How did you know?" Moonlight responded. "Your face is easy to read. Come to the trapdoor next to the church of Hasbro if you want to get away from the crime here." said the figure as it disappeared leading Moonlight to believe it was a unicorn.

After recovering from the talk, Moonlight continued to walk when he was pushed onto the ground. "So, you are the one who killed my boys." said the pony above Moonlight as he heard the dreaded song that tells him who is talking above him. "Ventus!" Moonlight yells as he takes to the sky's. "Come on!" says the leader of the Black Whispers "You think I would be without guards that include Pegasi? Really?" Two pegasus grab Moonlights arms causing him to drop his chain scythe. "Ventus!" Moonlight says again as he felt the scythe on his wings allowing him to stab both of the pegasus in the back. Moonlight says to the leader "And you think that two are sufficient to kill me? really?" The leader chuckled "You misunderstand me. I knew they were going to die and I come not to kill you but to invite you into the Dark Whispers." "They don't seem as good as ponies make them out to be." "You have never fought my elite, only my grunts. Come to the pub called The Rutted Maid if you are interested in the power we can offer you." With that the leader walked away, 10 or so guards following soon after.

After all day of searching (and fighting off thefts), Moonlight found that there was no place for an outsider to stay (With their bits safe) other than the two offers he was given, but which one?
