Philosopher of Earth

The monster was crouched over Silver Star, the Royal Guards rushed in and grabbed it from behind. It struggled, yelling,

"I'm trying to save her!" it yelled. The surrounding Royal Guards starting muttering, trying to decide if they should let it continue, or keep it restrained. Finally Twilight spoke up.

"Let it try." The guards let the creature go and it lunged back onto Silvers leg. Twilight watched with interest, not yet realizing she had seen several of these creatures before.

"In my bag, get a sturdy stick and gather some long grass from nearby." it muttered, concentrating on its task.

"Do it." ordered Twilight, eager to see what the creature did. The surrounding guards then rummaged through the bag thrown aside by the creature and produced a hefty stick. Some of the others went of to find the longest grass nearby. The creature took the stick and put it under Silvers leg, keeping the broken limb straight has it pressed on it. Probably to stop the bleeding... thought Twilight. Some the guards came back with some grass, and the creature took them without a word, quickly using the grass as string to tie a piece of material and the stick to the leg.

"Someone get the paramedics!" shouted the alien. Then realizing that the ponies had no idea what the alien was talking about, "The ones who respond to emergency situations such as this!" it elaborated. A pegasus took to the air to get the ponymedics from the hospital. The pegasus soon came back with the ponymedics trailing behind. They quickly helped the alien stabilize Silver and took her to the hospital. When they were gone, the alien fell on its back in exhaustion, and started to sleep. Twilight looked down at the alien, now recognizing what he was for the first time. How did he get here? Twilight thought to herself.

"Your majesty? What should we do with it?" asked one of the Guards.

"Him." corrected Twilight.

"Y...your majesty?" asked the confused Guard.

"I know what he is, and we don't need to fear him." she continued. "But to answer your question, bring him to the castle and give him a room, but I want the room locked and guards posted outside."

"Yes your majesty." replied multiple Guards. They picked up the sleeping human and carried him to Twilights castle. Two guards however remained behind. They were Nimbus and Wind Rush.

"Any thing wrong?" asked Twilight.

"Silver..." muttered Wind Rush. The two close friends of Silver Star were in shock.

"She'll be alright..." reassured Twilight. "Come on, I'll take you two to the hospital." Twilight trotted away, the two stunned soldiers followed.

+++Also at the same time.+++

Luna had watched the whole thing. The chase, the clever maneuvers of the alien that Twilight had identified as a human, and the breaking of the leg of that poor unicorn. She had not interfered, as Celestia had instructed. The human was now unconscious, laying on the backs of several Royal Guards as they brought him to Twilights castle. They soon reached the castle and had found the human a deserted room, locking the door behind them as Twilight had instructed and leaving some guards outside to prevent escape. Luna landed on the balcony. The human did not stir. She was still curious about the humans dreams, and was soon walking in the same marble hallways of his dreams.

The hallway was the same as before, but it was fully lit when her hooves touched down on the marble bridge. She walked towards the mammoth doors, now a little familiar with the dream. What was behind the door however wasn't what she was suspecting. The glowing sphere of memory was gone. Instead four mechanical arms were moving around the center platform and were shooting beings of metal, stone, and memory that were climbing out of the abyss. The human now sat a huge organ like instrument and was playing furiously, the sound from it however didn't come from any pipes like a normal organ, it just emanated out of the surrounding air, and oddly in a room this size, the music didn't echo ether. The arms were moving in sync with the music.

"Hello." said the human, he didn't even turn around.

"Hello." replied Luna. "What, pray tell, are you doing?" she asked. The human continued to play the ominous music and sighed.

"Music helps me concentrate. And I'm using it to drive memories away." he replied.

"Memories? Why would you want to drive memories away?" Luna asked with a little confusion. A memory monster had just climbed over the edge, only to be sent flying back by one of the machine arms.

"Some, are memories too painful, too tragic, too embarrassing, too anger inducing to let me reminisce about." he continued, still playing the strange song on the organ.

"Anger inducing?" asked Luna. Before the human could reply the platform shook.

"Curses of the most foulest kind." said the human. "It's back." The mechanical arms suddenly went limp as a huge claw then grabbed the edge of the platform. It was bigger than the instrument that the human was playing, and its talons nearly as long as Luna.

"Hehehehehehe..." rumbled the huge head that slithered over the edge as the monstrous dragon dragged it's chest onto the platform, leaving its hind legs underneath. The dragon was unlike any other that Luna had ever seen, it looked more chaotic and feral than most dragons, its wings were also its front limbs, so there were titanic wings attached behind the claws that had dragged the monster over the edge. Its tail whipped behind Luna, who was facing the dragon head, if it was all the way back there, who knew how long the dragon was.

"Have thou missed me little one?" the dragon mockingly asked.

"Go away." said the human foalishly.

"GO AWAY?! HAHAHAHA! Is that how you greet your only real source of power?" rumbled the angry red dragon.

"Anger has done nothing good for me, and you know that." stated the human who now seemed to be struggling to play the instrument.

"Oh, but I have pulled us out more situations than you like like to admit..." whispered the dragon into the humans ear.

"Leave him alone!" yelled Luna. The dragon then turned its evil head towards the princess.

"And what do we have here?" it rumbled. "A little horse defending the great steward of these mighty halls?" the dragon whipped his head around, gesturing the architecture around them. "I have smote far greater foes than you, little equine... You wouldn't dare attempt to challenge me..."

"Why are you here?" asked Luna.

"Is that not obvious?" asked the dragon. "I am here to take the seat of power from the useless hominid, and escape from the predicament that he has put us in!" Seat of power? Luna had no idea what the dragon was talking about.

"What has he done?" shouted Luna.

"You should already know that, little equine... After all, it is your kind that imprisons us as we speak." the dragon rumbled angrily.

"No..." whispered the human as he stopped playing completely. The memories finally climbed over the edge and were approaching.

"No? Then pray tell insect, what are we doing in this lavish jail cell?" the dragon mocked the increasingly weakening human.

"I am not in a prison, you however need to return to your cell..." stated the human.

"HAHAHA! You seriously believe that you can force me into your exile!?" laughed the demon dragon.  The memories were now close enough for Luna to hear them whispering...

It's a cold winter day... outside on a playground...

The fall leaves make the bus ride dusty...

A Summer rain drives you into your favorite store...

They edged closer and closer to the comatose human, whispering in his ears. Weakly, the human picked his front limbs up, and began to play the organ again, a vastly different song this time.

"What?!?" cried the dragon. Luna had no idea what was going on. "No! No!" continued the rage monster. The marble underneath pulsed with a bright blue power, emanating from the human and his machine, the arms overhead began to twitch with life. The music grew in strength, focusing the humans mind and bringing life back to it. The surrounding memories were blown away like leaves in a storm, the dragon suddenly was yanked backwards into the abyss by invisible chain, but it still hung on to the platform with its massive claws. The gun arms moved and began to whine with power, they pointed at the precariously perched dragon.

"No! You need me puny one!" roared the dragon.

"Get the hell out of my head." whispered the human as he played. With that, lightning arced from the arms and planted themselves into various parts of the dragon, who screamed in rage and pain as he tumbled into the crushing abyss. The platform was quiet except for the hauntingly triumphant melody that the human played.

"Please... Let me rest..." whispered the human to Luna. She wanted to do nothing else as she walked to the massive door she came in.
