After about ten hours of hammering, Celestia finally decided to say something, "Are you tired, Malekh? You've been working pretty hard on that sword, I bet you're exhausted." But to be honest, I wasn't tired at all. Sure my arms were a little sore, but nothing a little rest couldn't fix.

"No, I'm fine. Thanks for worrying though." I said hammering one last time on the blade. I had the hilt, guard, and blade done but now I had to put it all together. But before I did that I had to do one last thing to the blade. Since it was still hot and very easy to cut into, I set a rune to make the blade indestructible. I did it for my last sword, but that one didn't work apparently since it broke. Truth about that though, is that I half assed that rune. This one, I was adding all the power needed to make it work right. I carved the rune in, and got to work pouring magic into it.

For about thirty minutes, nobody moved or said anything as I poured over ten percent of my magic into the rune. Once it was done, I set everything in place and put the sword together. I examined it for a few seconds before setting it down. "Now all I need is a sheath." I said as I turned around and went through the leather that they had in the forge. I found a sturdy looking sheath that was already made and fit my sword that was a deep-black. "Perfect!" I exclaimed as I sheathed my sword, and strapped it to my back.

"How does that help keep your magic in check?" Luna asked eyeing my back.

"It will, once I perform a certain ceremony that needs to be done in my room." I answered rolling my shoulders to get used to the new weight on my back. The sword alone weighed about fifty-five pounds and with the sheath, about sixty pounds all together. So I had to get used to that weight. Sadly though, it was lighter than my other sword which was seventy-two pounds. However; that meant that I could move a lot faster with it. I had to do a few practice runs just to be sure I didn't have to do anything to add weight. That would be a drag.

"What ceremony, and why does it have to be in your room?" Twilight asked tilting her head to the side.

"The ceremony of taking the Seal of Power from one sword to another. It has to be in my room because the amount of power it requires will leave me drained, tired and a little grumpy." I said beginning to walk out of the forge.

"You're always grumpy." She muttered.

"I'm not grumpy, you just don't understand my sense of humor." I said smirking. She just scrunched up her face and stuck her tongue out at me, so I said, "Your face might get stuck like that." She didn't stop. So I placed the same spell that stuck her in place, on her face!

That rhymed... Anyway!

She visibly tried to move her face but couldn't so, she tried to yell at me but it all came out muffled. When she was able to open her mouth just enough to get words out, she said what she wanted to, "Malekh, what did you do to me?"

"I didn't do shit. I warned you that your face would get stuck, and it did." I said shrugging my shoulders and barely holding back a chuckle. Celestia was also biting her knuckles to keep from laughing. Or yelling at me, either way she was biting her knuckles.

"Re-reverse the spell Mal." Celestia said letting out a small snort of laughter. I paused.

"When did you start calling me 'Mal'?" I asked raising an eyebrow at her. She looked at Luna who had the same expression of curiosity, only pointed at me. "What?" I asked completely confused at this point.

"I called you that yesterday." She said slowly then blushed a little and said, "When I asked you who's flank was better." At that Twilight stopped her mumbling and had her sill locked expression pointed at Celestia. I sighed and snapped my fingers and removed the spell on her face.

"You asked him what?!" She yelled her face morphing into one of shock and surprise at an instant.

"Huh, I guess I didn't hear you." I said shrugging.

"Probably because you were too busy staring." Luna said blushing a little herself. At that Twilight began to stutter out random questions. Obviously her brain was shutting down from the fact that her princesses were more normal than she thought.

"Yeah, I guess I was." I said absently. When I looked over to them they were both blushing pretty hard. Celestia, having white fur, had the most noticeable blush adorning her face. I smirked and walked past them with my hands in my pockets. "Let's go. Or do you not want to go into my room?" At that both of them snapped out of their fantasies and looked at me. "Let's go, you to Twilight."

New York, New York

2:50 P.M.

Third POV

As a silver haired girl walked down the busy streets of New York, people kept their distance from her. She just looked too out of place, silver hair pale skin and most of all, her red irises with slit pupils. Making her look like a cos-player, but that's not what they were avoiding. The fangs that were slightly sticking out of her lips that was keeping people away. But as she kept walking, she drew... unwanted attention. Mainly that of three men, all very well built and had sinister smirks on their faces.

But as they drew closer to her a sudden white flash exploded in front of them, pushing them a few meters back. When they regained their senses, the girl was gone. The only thing left was a large crater in the middle of the side-walk. As they looked around they heard a mysterious voice that said, "Better luck next time." Then a light chuckle as the voice faded. When they looked around again, nobody else seemed to hear the voice but them. So, they ran.

Canterlot Castle, Malekh's room

3:00 A.M.

Malekh's POV

As I held my left hand on my new sword, my right hand was on my old, and broken sword. I concentrated and pulled the power that I placed into my old sword and forced it through my body, and into the new sword. As that happened, my arms began to glow a bright red, then a soft blue, pink, then finally a deep black. When the seal was placed on my new sword the remnants of my old sword turned to ash and blew away.

"That's done." I said already feeling tired and overall drained. When I tried to stand up, I fell right back on my ass. "Well, who wants to help me get into my bed?" I asked looking around. The first to respond was Celestia with a motherly smile on her face. I just chuckled and let her pick me up with her magic and set me in my bed. I smiled at her and closed my eyes. The last thing I remember was Luna with a devious smirk on her face. I tried to open my eyes but I couldn't so I just let sleep take me.

The next day

10:35 A.M.

As I opened my eyes I felt a slight weight on my left arm. When I tried to turn my head to look, I noticed weight on my right arm to. When I was able to get a good look, I was rendered speechless. There, on my arms where Celestia and Luna. Celestia on my right and Luna on my left, both asleep and snuggled up on me. I couldn't move without waking them and I couldn't teleport since they where using me as a pillow. So, I closed my eyes again and tried to find sleep again. Sadly, I wasn't lucky.

After about thirty minutes of laying there not moving Celestia began to stir. When I looked over to her she yawned and opened her eyes. "Mornin' sleepy head." I said as her eyes widened and a blush broke out on her face. In my tired mind I could only think of one thing. Sadly, being to tired to stop myself, I said what I was thinking aloud, "Man, you're beautiful when you blush." By the time I caught what I had said, her blush deepened. "Shit, did I say that out loud?" Fuck I was tired.

She nodded and crawled off of me so fast I thought she would wake Luna up. But apparently she is a heavy sleeper so she didn't. "I'm sorry, I got worried and came in here when you didn't wake up, but I fell asleep. I don't know what came over me." She said as she sat up and looked at Luna. "I don't know about her though. She wasn't there when I fell asleep." She said. Then she blushed again and said, "By the way, thanks for the compliment." With that she winked and left my room.

I groaned and slammed my head into my pillow and with my free arm, pinched the bridge of my nose. I looked over to Luna and tried to pry her off of my arm, but she had a vice-grip on. So, I poked her nose. It took a few times, but finally, she scrunched up her face and rolled over, freeing me. I immediately jumped up and ran to the bathroom before she could wake up.

I took care of my morning business and walked out. Only to notice that Luna was sitting up with her arms over her head, stretching, and yawning. Being the second time someone yawned in-front of me, I couldn't fight the yawn that built up in my throat. When I opened my eyes again, I saw Luna staring at me with the same blank expression that Celestia had, only her blush was better hidden by her blue fur, but it was still there.

"Mornin'." Was all I said as I walked over to the full-body mirror and looked at myself. I tsked when I noticed that my trench-coat looked more like a normal wind-breaker jacket. "I guess I gotta wait a few hours before I do anything." I said as I walked over and sat at the foot of my bed. I looked over to Luna to see her staring back at me with that same surprised expression. "Are you done staring, or do you want a show?" I asked smirking. Her blushed deepened and she shook her head. My smirk grew and I decided to play with her a little while she was still in my room. "Aw, so does that mean you think I'm ugly, or are you too good for me?" I asked.

"N-no it's not that!" She exclaimed and looked away as her blush grew, along with my smirk. If that was possible. But I had to stop, my body wasn't very happy right now, and I was really hungry.

"Can we get something to eat, I'm starving." I said as I stood up and walked over to the door. "Celestia already woke up and left, so she might be in the dining room. We might as well meet her there."

"Y-yes, we should do that." She said as she stood up and followed me out of my room.

When we reached the dining room, I wasn't surprised to see everyone else there. But I was surprised to see Blueblood there glaring at me from the chair that he claimed as his. I sighed and sat at the seat to the left of Celestia, much to the barely visible displeasure of Luna. Celestia tiredly smiled at me and continued eating.

"You can't be still tired can you?" I asked her as I began eating the oatmeal that the servers brought out for me. I leaned a little closer so that only she could hear me and said, "You slept on me and were wide awake when you dashed out." To that she blushed and kicked me under the table.

"Tell no-pony about that." She warned. "Or the next time, it won't be a kick to your leg."

"Ooh, someone's grumpy when she's tired." I quipped as she glared at me. "Oh come on, don't give me that. It won't do anything other than make me pick on you more." She kicked me again, only this time it was hard enough to make me grunt. "Okay, I'll stop."

"Thank you." She said as she put on a sweet, innocent smile. I rolled my eyes and winced when I felt a stinging sensation on my ankle and lower calf. When I looked, my trench-coat was all the way down to my feet again.

"Huh, that was faster than usual." I mumbled as I raised an eyebrow.

"What was that?" Celestia asked as she looked at me with a curious eyebrow raised.

"Nothing."

"Uh-huh."

A sudden tremor rattled through the castle, shaking everyone and everything. Nearly knocking me over as I tried to stand up. When it was over, a guard slammed the doors open, a panicked look on his face as he looked at Celestia and said, "Princess, there's another one!"

Celestia's eyes widened and she asked. "Where?"

The guard shook his head and said, "Same place as the one that brought Malekh." Pointing at me he then said, "It looks almost identical as well. We may have another human in Equestria!"

My face hardened. "If he or she survives then you might have something more like me. Which could be a good thing or a bad thing." I looked at the guard and cracked my knuckles with a dark smile and said, "Take me there."

Celestia looked at me and raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure you want to go?" She asked as I began walking towards the, now shaking, guard.

"Yes, and I want only this guard to accompany me." I said as I stood next to him and held out my hand. "What's your name?" I asked.

"Blue Twist." He said.

"Why him?" Celestia asked.

"Because he has wings and he knows the location." I said as I shook hands with the guard, who looked like he wanted to piss himself.

Rainbow Dash flew in-front of me and narrowed her eyes. "I'm going to." She said.

"Hell no. I only want one person with me and that spot's taken, sorry." I said turning around and walking out of the door and towards the nearest window that just happened to show the carnage that was wreaked all along the landscape of a forest. "Never mind, stay here and I'll go alone." I said as I jumped out of the window and began flying towards the center of the carnage.

When I reached the center I was surprised to see a woman. She had silver hair, pale skin, and the only remnants of her clothing left her barely decent. Thankfully I saw her breathing so that lead me to believe that she was still alive. So I took off my coat and placed it on her before picking her up and turning around. But as I turned I noticed something. Her breathing was short and ragged. She had lost a lot of blood and was cut badly on her stomach. If I didn't help her soon, she would definitely die. So I flew back to the castle at mach-two speeds and came in through the window I got out of.

When I got back inside I turned to the first guard I saw and yelled, "Get a room open now! She needs medical attention!" To that he ran down the hallway and lead me to an open room that was relatively close to mine.

"I'll go get a doctor." He said as he began to rush off but I stopped him.

"That won't be needed. Thank you for your help. Go get the princesses though and bring them here." I said as I set the woman down on the bed. I immediately sparked my hands with light-blue healing magic and got to work on the gash on her stomach.

By the time Celestia and Luna got there I was already onto healing the smaller cuts and scrapes on her arms and legs. I was so concentrated on healing this random girl, I didn't notice her eyes staring at me. When I looked up at her I noticed them. Red irises with slit pupils. My own eyes widened and I groaned.

"Just to be sure you are what I think you are, open your mouth." I said biting my knuckle and sighing. She did what I asked, but very hesitantly and, sure enough, two elongated canines or fangs. She was a vampire. "Well shit." I said as I stood up and walked over to the vanity that was in the room. Picking up a pair of scissors I asked, "What's your name?"

"E-Elena." She said as she looked at the scissors in my hand. Her eyes widened and she tried to crawl away.

"I'm not going to hurt you, Elena." I said as I sat down on the bed. "Come here please." Slowly but surely, she crawled over to me and sat down next to me. I got the scissors in one hand and shifted closer to her. "I hate doing this." I mumbled as I slit my wrist and held it up to her face. Her eyes widened and she pulled back a little.

"I can't let my wrist just bleed here all day." I said as she swallowed. Again, slowly she came close to my wrist and opened her mouth. I felt her fangs dig into my wrist as she drank my blood. When she pulled back her eyes where wide and she was panting.

"It's sweet." She said as she came close to me again, though this time faster. When she got close to my neck she stopped. "May I?" She asked.

"Go for it." I said as I tilted my neck to let her get to it. Though this time she was a little more rough, she was still gentle.

"Why are you letting her do this?" Celestia asked as she stared at the scene with a worried look on her face.

"Because she's a vampire that's lost a lot of her own blood. I don't want her to die, do you?" I asked. It was a little awkward talking with two fangs sticking into my neck. When I began to feel a little light-headed I said, "Okay, I think that's enough for now. Anymore and you'd suck me dry." At that she sighed and retracted her fangs and sat back, away from me.

"Okay... Let's get you some new clothes. Don't want you walking around naked all day." I said rolling my neck. When I poked the area she bit I was genuinely surprised to feel no pain. When I looked in the mirror I noticed that the only evidence that she bit me was a purple mark. It made it look like I had a hickey, but luckily my coat had a high collar so it hid the mark. "Alright, I can't believe I'm saying this, let's go see Rarity." I said walking to the door. When I opened it, she was right there in the middle of the hallway trying to look nonchalant.

When she saw me giving her a dead-pan stare, she smiled. "Is there anything you need?" She asked.

"You are so sad." I mumbled. "Get in here, you know what's going on." I said opening the door all the way. She strode in with her nose in the air like a stuck up bitch. "If you can't see with your face pointed up, you might fall." I said sticking my leg out, tripping her. "Told you."

"Mal!" Celestia yelled sounding genuinely angry. But when I looked over at her, I could tell she didn't approve of my actions.

"What? I didn't do shit!" I said holding my hands up.

When Rarity finally picked herself off of the floor, she glared at me with enough intensity to make a bear run. I just shrugged her off and walked into the room where Elena was still sitting on the bed. I looked at her and put a finger to my lips, signalling her to stay quiet. I walked over to her and whispered in her ear, "If she sees your fangs, she'll flip her shit, so don't smile too big or anything. Sorry, but that's how it is until I can find a way to hide it."

"What about my eyes or hair?" She asked. I looked at her and chuckled.

"Your hair won't be much of a problem, and your eyes I could just cast a simple illusion spell to make them look normal." I said.

"Okay... Where are we?" She asked.

"We are in a place called Equestria, where anthropomorphic ponies live. No humans, no vampires." I paused. "That I'm aware of." I turned to Celestia and called her over. When she got to the bed, I asked, "Are there any vampires in Equestria?" She put her hand on her chin in thought

"Yes, but they are very rare in Canterlot." She said after a few seconds.

"There you go." I said turning to Elena. A few seconds later, Rarity finally came to the bed, with enough supplies to make twenty dresses.

Point being, she had a lot of supplies...

"The fuck is all this shit?" I thought but, I didn't want to talk about it. So I walked over to the door, turned, and said, "I'll give you time to make her clothes, just have it ready by lunch please?" She looked at me, then to her watch and back to me.

"Only because you said please. But I'm angry with you for tripping a lady!" She said narrowing her eyes at me.

"Yeah, sure, whatever, thank you Rarity." I said closing the door behind me and going next door to my room. I automatically laid down on my bed and sighed.

"What's wrong? You just got your blood sucked by a sexy vampire, and you're sighing like you're irritated." Seph said.

"You've been quiet lately. I forgot you where with me again." I answered avoiding his question.

"Yeah, well I've been floating around your head just being bored. It was better in your sub-conscious. It was quiet, and I could do whatever I wanted."

"I can send you back. It's a simple spell, it won't be hard."

"I'll think about it... HEY! Answer my question!"

"What question?"

"Why are you irritated?"

"I'm not."

Whatever. I think I hear someone coming, I'll go back to floating around."

"Yeah, you do that." I covered my face with my hands as there was a knocking at my door. I stood up and walked over to it and what do you know? It was Celestia. "She's getting a little clingy..." I thought as I opened the door and walked back to my bed.

"Lunch is in an hour, and I wanted to tell you something." She said stepping into my room.

"You just did." I said laying down.

"Something else." She said. By her voice I could tell she was a little irritated, but not annoyed.

"What?" I asked putting my hands behind my head.

"We have a holiday here in Equestria tonight called Hearth's Warming. That being said, tonight when we go to Ponyville for the festivities, me and Luna will introduce you and Elena to the general public." She said looking at me.

"Okay, only one question." I said. She nodded telling me to go ahead. "What do you want us to do till you introduce us?" I asked.

"Just stay inside the carriage until you hear either me or Luna introduce you. I know that Elena isn't human like you, but I don't want to cause panic by saying that she is a vampire so I'll have to say that she is human." She explained. I nodded and stood up stretching a little before walking to the door.

"I'm going to check on Elena and tell her." I said opening the door. She nodded and walked out after me going the other direction.

I knocked on Elena's door and less than three seconds of waiting Rarity opened the door. "Yes?" She asked.

"Is Elena ready? Or are you torturing her still?" I asked putting my hands in my pockets.

"It's not torture, it's fashion!" She said putting her hands on her hips. "Yes, I finished her clothes."

"Okay, I need to talk to her about tonight so you can go do whatever." I said. She gave me a look and walked off. I walked into Elena's room and saw her sitting on the bed looking at the wall. I just simply told her what Celestia told me and that lunch was in a little bit.

"Okay, so where are we going to live?" She asked looking to me. I shrugged my shoulders and scratched the back of my head.

"I haven't put much thought into it. I might stay in the castle or go and stay in Ponyville." I said. "Anyways, let's go to lunch." She nodded and we left.

When we got to the dining room, everyone was there and sadly, so was Blueblood. He scrunched his face up when he saw me and turned away. I sat down next to Luna this time, much to the displeasure of Celestia even though she tried to hide it.

"I wasn't expecting them to like me like that. Ugh, that could be a pain." I thought as I ordered a simple egg salad sandwich. "At least they have some foods that I'll eat."

"They might have a lot more if you ask." Seph said again breaking his silence.

"I might. Though, I don't know about Elena. Now I gotta worry about her getting the food she wants.

"You worry too much. That's why you've been getting caught off guard lately."

"Are you okay, Malekh?" Elena asked. "You zoned out there for a while."

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just tired is all." I said beginning to eat my sandwich.

After lunch is when things got a little interesting.

Blueblood stood up and immediately glared at me. "I challenge you to a duel, ape!" He shouted pointing at me. I looked over at him and groaned.

"Give me a break Bluey, I had a long day so far, and I really don't want to fight." I said leaning back in my chair a little.

"What's wrong? Scared of what I might do to you?" I asked sounding like the cocky bitch he is.

"If anything, I'm scared of what I might do to you." I said making him step back in anger.

"You think you can hurt me? I laugh at your sense of humor." He said chuckling.

I sighed and stood up. "If I have to fight you to get you to shut the fuck up, then so be it." He smiled and led me outside to a courtyard with two tables already set out with multiple swords and other weapons. Blueblood picked up a typical saber and pointed it at me.

"Pick your weapon and fight me, ape." I said doing a few tricks with the sword.

I thought of something interesting for this little duel so I made it known. "If I win, you have to call me by my name and Elena as well. But, if you win..." I trailed off, letting him finish the thought.

"If I win, you have to be my servant for two months." He said smirking.

I thought about it for a few seconds before smiling darkly. "Deal." With that I began to look at the swords that were placed on the table. I chuckled when I saw a katana that was so light, I would probably lose control of it and fight sloppy. But one sword, caught my attention. This sword was huge! Almost as big as my old one, but when I picked it up, it was the perfect weight.

I looked over at Blueblood to see him with a scared look on his face. When he saw me looking at him, he straightened out, and glared at me. "Are you ready ape?"

Right before I answered, a voice cut me off. "Wait!" When I looked over I saw a white unicorn with electric blue hair (or mane) running into the courtyard. "I will be the referee for this duel." He said as he stood between me and Blueblood. "Princess Celestia and Princess Luna as well as the rest of the ponies present are watching from the balcony and can overrule my judgement if needed. Now, I understand you two made a bet?" We both nodded. "Okay, then I will be sure that bet comes into play the second the match ends. If the loser wants a rematch, they will have to wait a month before the match. Also, the swords are blunt and have no ability to stab or cut. Is all this understood?" We both nodded again. "Then meet in the middle and shake hands." We did as told and took our places twenty feet away from each other and got in a fighting position.

Blueblood crouched low and had the saber out in front of him; an offensive position. I held the sword reverse-grip in my right hand and pulled it behind my back. I had my left hand out in front of my face. My right leg was back and my left leg forward; my personal defense position.

"What kind of position is that? You're wide open for attack!" I heard Celestia yell. Blueblood scoffed and dashed towards me. His swing was a right slash. Perfect. I pulled my right arm forward and clashed swords with him. An almost deafening clang rang out as the swords clashed. Nobody else said a word as me and Blueblood went back and forth each trying to best one another. I had switched to a normal grip on the sword after the first strike and had gained the upper-hand quickly, coming with quick steady strikes as I pushed him back.

Finally after about two minutes of striking, I saw a small opening and lunged at him. He tried to block the attack but was too late, the sword I was using was already pointed at his throat. The referee blew a whistle and called the match.

"How can you move so fast with a sword so big?" Blueblood asked as he backed away from me. I just shrugged and set the sword back on the table.

"When you train your body for as long as I have, you notice how heavy a certain sword feels and take a liking to that weight." I looked at the ref and held out my hand. "What's your name?" I asked as he shook it.

"Shining Armor. I'm the one that brought you to Canterlot after you crashed into the Everfree Forest." He said letting go.

I was about to say something before a very loud, "SHINING!!!" cut me off.

I looked at Shining and patted his back. "That's my sister." He said as Twilight slammed open the door and stomped over to us.

"I feel bad for you." I said chuckling.

"She's not as bed as she seems. She can just overreact when she-" He was cut off by Twilight punching him in the arm. "Gets upset." He finished, grimacing.

"You don't write me or even try to talk to me anymore!" She yelled crossing her arms. I poked her arm to try and get her attention but she was too focused on yelling at her brother. I just shrugged and pushed her arm lightly. "What Malekh?" She asked facing me with an irritated glare. I just pointed at Celestia.

"Twilight," Celestia said. "leave your brother alone for right now, he still has some things to do with Mal and Blueblood." Twilight groaned and looked at Shining one last time before hugging him and dashing off.

Shining turned to me and Blueblood and sighed. "Now, you both made the deal, Blueblood, you have to agree to call Malekh and Elena by their names and not anything else. However, after one month, you can choose to make a rematch. Is that understood?

"Yes. But be sure of one thing, Malekh; I will make a rematch, and I will make you pay for this humiliation." Blueblood said tuning around and storming off.

I sighed and sat on the ground. "Thank God that's over." I said. I turned to Celestia, who was now down in the courtyard along with everyone else, and asked, "What time is that holiday thing?"

"In one hour." She said smiling down at me. I shrugged and stood up.

"That's cool. I'll be sure I'm on my best behavior." I said sarcastically. After dusting myself off I looked at her.

Celestia let out a small laugh and walked away. Before she got back into the castle she turned around and said, "I'll give you two then to think about either staying in Canterlot, or going to Ponyville."

"Going to Ponyville might help me get my bearings about this world..." I thought as I began to walk into the castle. "However. staying in Canterlot for a little longer can't hurt." I had to think about it some more. I had an hour so that should be enough time.

Walking back into the dining room I was met with looks of awe by Twilight and all her friends. Rainbow Dash stared at me for a few seconds and when we made eye contact she glared at me before huffing. "I'll admit, that was a pretty cool fight. You know how to hold your own. But, that doesn't mean I look at you any different. You still have to prove to me that you are trustworthy." She said crossing her arms.

I just shrugged. "I didn't fight him to get you to trust me. He was just getting on my nerves." I said walking out of the dining room and into the hallway that led to my room. Elena was close behind, but didn't say anything. When I looked back at her, she was looking around the hallway with mild amusement. I chuckled and shook my head.

"What?" She asked sounding a little irked that I laughed at her.

"Nothing. You just look so curious. It's funny." I replied shrugging.

"Sure... Anyway, what are we going to do about Celestia introducing us to the public so early?" She asked coming to my side.

"I'm just gonna go with the flow. I don't know what you're going to do." I said.

"Have you decided where you're going to stay then?" She asked looking at me.

"Nope." I said popping the 'p'. "Have you?"

"Well, I was thinking, and I decided that I would go where you go." I looked at her and she blushed a little before saying hastily, "You're the only human here and plus I would feel a little lost!" I chuckled again.

"If you want to stay with me that's okay. It might help me having you around." I said. When we reached our rooms I got a sudden thought that might help us a little more. "If I go to Ponyville, I'm asking Celestia to buy us a house. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms."

"That would be good. If we do that, I'm decorating.~" She sang holding up a finger. I just chuckled again and nodded.

"Okay, Elena. You can decorate if we move to Ponyville." I said opening the door to my room.

One hour later...

I stepped out of my room hoping to catch Celestia before we left for Ponyville. Trying to find her by myself was a bit of a hassle but after asking some guards directions, I was able to find her in the castle dock. I stepped in and greeted her with a simple two finger salute as I walked up to her.

"Hello Malekh. I was just about to send a guard to get you and Elena." She said smiling.

"Yeah, well he'll have to worry about waking her up and not me." I said rolling my shoulders. I had my sword on my back and when Celestia saw it she raised an eyebrow.

"Why do you have that sword?" She asked pointing at it.

"I have it because it can't be too far away from me with the seal in place. I have about two miles without it before the seal breaks. If that happens I have to replace the seal and that would be a little too much work right now." I explained. "Oh, there was something I wanted to talk to you about."

"What is it?" She asked.

"I wanted to ask if you could either buy a house or have one built for me and Elena in Ponyville if we decide to go there." I said.

"You haven't decided where you're going to stay?" She asked.

"No, not yet. I was going to stay in Canterlot for another week and hopefully have my decision by then. But wherever I do stay, I need a job." I said crossing my arms and looking at the ponies working to get everything ready for the trip.

"Well, what do you want to do?" She asked.

"Something where I could fight, or travel. I love military work." I said turning to her.

"I might have something you could do." She said smiling. It was then that Elena came out escorted by a guard behind her. Also Twilight and her friends also came out and walked next to me, Elena, and Celestia with Luna still not being there yet. I looked over to Ponyville and noticed snow. A lot of snow.

I whistled and said, "That, is a shit-ton of snow." There was snow on top of buildings and in the streets. Circling the town was so much snow that it looked like it could bury it. The edge of the forest was so packed with snow that it climbed some of the trees.

"That can't be good." I heard Celestia mutter. I looked over to her and began to shiver. At an instant, the temperature dropped like ten degrees and was still dropping. The wind picked up and snow began to blow past us. Inside the wind we heard a bone-chilling howl causing me to draw my sword on reflex.

I glared at the quickly forming blizzard and tensed. There was something moving in the snow. It was too far into the blizzard to see it clearly, but I saw it. It looked like a wolf.

"Did ya'll see that?" Applejack asked from behind me. I nodded my head and clenched my hand on my sword.

"Yeah. We need to get inside. I don't know what that is, but it doesn't look friendly." I said taking a few steps back when I saw it again. "That thing is getting closer, we gotta go NOW!" I yelled when it lunged at me. I barely dodged in time. "This thing is fast." I mumbled to myself. I looked back to see that Twilight, Rarity, Pinkie, Rainbow, Fluttershy, and Applejack where running towards the door to the castle. Celestia was next to me and charging magic into her horn.

"Shit, this isn't good! Celestia, get inside! I'll be right behind you!" I call over the wind. She looks at me and nods before turning and running towards the doors. I turn and follow swiping at the creatures that get close to me or Celestia.

When we get close enough to the doors that we can see inside, I see Twilight point at something behind me and mouth something. When I turn one of the wolf things latches itself onto my right shoulder, causing me to drop my sword in pain. Not having my right arm in use, I charged my left hand with wind magic and speared it, knuckle deep, into the wolf's head. Howling in pain, it released my arm and died. I looked back and saw three others already dashing towards me.

I picked myself up, along with my sword, and continued to run for the doors. "Oh my gosh, are you okay Malekh?" Twilight asked when I dashed into the doors.

Panting, I charged my left hand with healing magic and pressed it to my shoulder. It took a lot not to scream right there. My breathing quickened and I collapsed to my knees. "Goddamn that fucking hurts like a bitch!" I screamed as my wound closed up.

"That doesn't look very good, Mal. Let's get you to the infirmary." Celestia said walking up to me.

"No, I'll be fine." I said when it closed completely. I tried to stand but I immediately fell back down. "Okay, help me get to my room and then I'll be fine." I panted as my vision began to get blurred.

A very soft, "Oh, my." was the last thing I heard when I lost complete consciousness.

Author's Note

I am soooo sorry for the long wait!!!! To be completely honest, I got lazy and didn't really feel like writing when I got out of school and just slept all day. But, I'm back! (Though, I wasn't expecting FiMfiction to change the way it did. )
I hope you all have a very great Christmas. (or Hearth's Warming) Tell me what you all got!
