Discord sighed at the situation he was roped into. Celestia and Luna had invited Twilight to tea and her friends tagged along. And of course they had decided to bring Discord as well, considering his recent reformation. All in all it seemed like a normal day in the city of Canterlot. Birds were singing, Celestia’s sun was shining, and the nobles were looking for the best way to squeeze whatever money they could from the common-folk. As they walked through the castle Discord’s mind began to wander. 'Will something happen?' He asked. As they entered a more shadowed part of the castle Discord paused. He felt something. He was sensing powerful magic. He paused and turned to the closed doors. Fluttershy saw this. "Discord what’s wrong?" The others saw Discord as he looked at the door.

"We should all run." He said. Suddenly, the candles in the shadowy halls went out all at once, and what looked like fog was creeping in. The guards moved in front of their princesses. "It can't be." He said. Out of the darkness a hooded figure walked up. The being was dressed all in black including its armor and held two sickles in his hands. Standing upright, the being remained motionless. The guards charged him "Stop!" He tried to warn them. Suddenly wings appeared from the figure’s back.

The beings crossed arms spread as the fog/cloud moved out; Discord summoned a barrier around himself and everyone else. The cloud/fog attacked the barrier, locked out a guard closest turned to them with a look of fear on his face, as it suddenly started to fall off as it decayed and soon his body was dust and bones while a blue glow splashed around. Discord’s eyes widened as the soul was consumed, and with that the fog was gone. Discord brought the shield down. Luna shot out after her horrified shock was gone. Luna summoned a sword and held it in a telekinetic grip. "Foul beast." Discord wanted to close his eyes, but couldn’t. "I will stop thee." Her sword was knocked away easily. One of the sickles pierced her and gripped her ribs hoisting her up. The other sickle moved to the side of her face a thin blue line shooting out the tip.

"None can stop.... Death!" The being boomed in a deep, ominous voice. Luna cried out as her soul was being very slowly ripped from her body. In an attempt to save her sister, Celestia fired a beam of magic at the being as it tossed Luna into Celestia, still alive but unconscious.

Twilight looked on, horrified of what she was seeing. Her mind was racing with thousands of questions. What was this creature? Why was it attacking the princesses? And why did Discord seem to know it? Rainbow Dash called out to Twilight and brought her out of her stupor. "Come on Twilight, snap out of it! We gotta help the princesses!"

"Dash no!" Twilight shrieked stopping Rainbow Dash with her magic. "There's no telling what that thing could do to us. We need to get the Elements of Harmony if we want to be of any help to the Princesses."

Discord looked on, his mind recalling events from long ago. They say Equestrian history was next to impossible to get before the sisters reign. Discord himself had a hand to play in that. However he had reasons for ruling them. This being landed on the ground, "Your debt will be paid." He said. He started to channel magic. It was exotic, different, ancient yet new. The magic formed into lighting as Celestia threw up a barrier. Twilight herself couldn't make it out. The magic was way too different for her to even understand it. Celestia was knocked back.

"Get the Elements." She cast a spell giving Twilight access to the vault they were kept in. "Go now." Discord was in his vision.

"Discord what are you doing, help us." Fluttershy begged. Discord was debating with himself. He could just as easily toss her into the blade’s path and get it over with.

He sighed, deciding to help them... only this once. "Fine," He huffed as he snapped his fingers and the chest holding the Elements appeared. 'Debt repaid Fluttershy.' He thought. The Elements flew out, as the being clashed with the barrier again. Discord closed his eyes. He had a feeling as to what was going to happen. The light from the Elements surrounded the girls as the being turned.

"What in the name of hell?" Celestia moved herself and Luna to safety. The rainbow beam hit him. The light dying down after what seemed like an eternity.

"We got him!" Pinkie exclaimed.

"None...." Everyone’s hearts stopped. "Can." Twilight moved back. "Stop."

"No" the others moved back, seeing the being standing there, unfazed with glowing eyes for a moment.

"DEATH!"

Everyone in the room was shocked by what they saw. Even Discord was surprised by this turn of events. They had never heard of a being that was able to shrug off the Elements. Discord debated with himself over what he should do. He knew Malthael had no quarrel with him. But if he just stood by and did nothing then there was no telling what could happen. In the end he cursed himself. He stepped between Malthael and everypony else. "The things I do." He muttered to himself.
The being stood there almost confused. Discord raised his eyes a bit. This wasn't much like him. 'Being asleep for so long he’s probably forgotten.' He thought.

"They’re not them." He said pointing at the princesses." Everyone suddenly felt like the world had ended. One, a being immune to harmony was attacking them, and two, Discord was trying reason with it. "They’re gone, ok? These aren’t them, they’re both mares, see?" He pointed out, playing with their faces and wings. The being’s wings shot out, and he flew out through the window. "Thank chaos." He sighed. Everyone just looked at him. "What?" Discord asked.

"What’s going on?" Twilight asked. Discord sighed.

"Oh yeah, that being mistook the princesses for their parents, strange seeing as how they died fighting him." Discord started.

Celestia simply shouted. "What? And you just let it go?" She screamed. Discord glared at her causing her to flinch a bit.

"I was there, he had no control over his powers, he saved a village only to be called a monster due to your ponies blatant racism that still exists to this day, you know most folks say everybody when speaking, but you’re still using everypony!" He walked away a bit. "Your parents just up and chased him down when he wanted to be left alone, I saw the fight, for during that time I myself lived out in the wilds with the animals who I saw as family, I saw the fight."

He turned to them. "It was in self-defense your parents forced him to unleash his powers, they died and as their bodies decayed they cast a powerful sleep spell on him, and finally, they sent him, wrapped in chains into Tartarus." He then turned again. "A few weeks later the ponies from the surrounding villages decided to destroy my forest to 'purge the monster’s taint from their land' let’s just say that I decided to make them pay."

Celestia had no idea what to say at this development, her expression constantly changing. Luna however had no such problem. "Thou Speakest Lies!" Luna screamed using the Royal Canterlot Voice. She grabbed Discord with her magic and threw him into the closest wall. "Our parents were just and noble rulers! They would never attack without purpose! They helped unite the three pony tribes and brought harmony to Equestria! Why should we believe a word from thy mouth? That beast tried to end our life! Why should we believe thy wild claims?"

Discord's glare softened and he practically whispered to Luna, "If my claims are so wild, then why am I the only Draconequus?” Discord turned away. "The whole forest was our home, my kinda were long lived beings and our magic rarely learned, the burning forest left me the last of my race, my whole kinds' powers were brought into me." He gave a smile. "My race was of chaos yet we lived away from everyone, my rebirth made me the avatar of my race, a literal god of chaos, the thing with this kinda mass fusion though, is that it changes someone." Luna suddenly felt dread in her heart. The only other time she felt this was when she and her sister first challenged Discord. "I was driven mad." He then grabbed Luna’s head. "Oh, a quick warning, last time I checked I recall me holding both you and Celestia’s broken bodies in my hands when you challenged me without the elements what did I tell you?" He started.

"You were ready for the warm up." Luna finished for him, and with that Luna put her down.

"I'm out of here." Discord said, walking away. "Don't come looking for me, any of you." He said, disappearing in a flash of light.

Everyone was silent for the longest time, just letting the gravity of the news they were given sink in. Luna was trying and failing to keep herself from crying. Celestia had wrapped a wing around Luna and was offering what comfort she could. The first to break the silence was Rainbow Dash.

"Can you believe that load of horse apples Discord tried to throw on us?” She said with a dismissive wave of the hoof.

"What if it's true, darling?" Rarity asked.

"Come on Rarity, none of us are racist! We're all friends with at least one person that's not a pony! I bet Twilight here can prove that all of this is bogus. So, what do you think egghead?"

Twilight shook her head before speaking, "I don't know Dash, there are no real records of events before the defeat of Discord. Princess Celestia, do you know anything about what Discord was saying?"

Celestia herself sighed. "Twilight..... I only have tales from when I was growing up. I can say that Discord is most likely telling the truth, the tale of Discord’s appearance was when our parents died in a forest that was burned down before he appeared." Celestia shock her head. "Luna and I did attempt to fight him it was the reason we got the elements. He boasted like he did because he had already defeated us." Celestia stated.

Twilight walked up. "So are we actually racist?'

Celestia sighed. "I don't know Discord is right every other races is speaking like he says, and the nobles have caused so many troubles, even almost caused a war." Celestia held her head down. "If I had to guess Discord’s reign was somewhat justified."

"So, um what do you think Discord is doing?" Fluttershy asked, barely audible.

"If I had to guess then he's probably looking for the creature." Celestia stated her regal tone slowly returning to her.

"And what do ya think he's going to do once he finds it?"

"I have no idea Applejack. This is in Discord's claws now. We can only hope and pray for the safety of Equestria."

-------- Malthael shook his head. He had started to regain his sanity. He had slept for a long time. He knew that. "Why did I go to blizzard con?" He asked himself. He was now, Malthael the Angel of Death. He even forgot his own name it was so long ago. He recalled he had awoken with chains around him. He was lucky they had aged and his powers helped him. He then fought his way through the prison he was in, killing everything around him. He smashed out the gates and walked out. His mind still clouded wandering around until he heard of the rulers of Equestria. He shook his head. He formed his wings as he took off.

--------------------Far out of Equestria Discord appeared looking out to his surroundings. "It’s time I leave to my roots." He whispered walking into the forest.

------------------Malthael flew up north looking around. He landed on the ground "So what I'm I to do now?" He asked himself. He sighed and decided to keep moving north. After a week of flying he set foot in the cold north. He walked a bit as he saw something a cave with a fire in it. Inside the cave a person sighed. Sunset shimmer was extremely confused. She was still human even after passing though the portal.

Malthael slowly made his way toward the strange human. It had been over a thousand years since he had last seen one, so he barely remembered what they looked like, although, he did remember them being a little less... colorful then the woman in front of him. She had a large blanket wrapped around her so he couldn't see what she was wearing. The woman had light yellow skin, light blue eyes, and long red and yellow hair.

For some reason, Malthael felt drawn to this woman, and slowly made his way into the cave where the woman was shivering and probably close to death. The last bit of the haze in his mind cleared as he approached the woman. 'I feel like there's a joke to be made about yellow skin, but I can't remember what it is.' He thought.

As soon as he made it to the mouth of the cave the woman whipped her head towards him. The look on her face screamed pure terror. "What the hell are you supposed to be?!"

"Honestly, I have no real idea anymore." Malthael said with a deep sigh.

Sunset did not feel relieved. "That doesn't make sense." Sunset said. Malthael sighed.

"Just call me Malthael." He said. He looked around. "May I ask you a question?" He started. Sunset shook her head.

"No I don't mind, as long you answer one of mine." Sunset said.

"Fair enough," Malthael said sitting down. He looked around. "May I ask why you look like that?" He started. Sunset rolled her eyes. "I wasn't supposed to look like this. I was actually a pony once." She said. Malthael had a raised eyebrow under his hood.

"You’re kidding? You don't look like one." It did make sense given the technicolored nature of the ponies.

"Somehow, I actually did ascend into an Alicorn, unfortunately it was in the humanized word I went to and I was locked as a human." Malthael was a bit shocked hearing about a human word.

'I get it, it wasn't my world.' Malthael thought. It was a thousand years he guessed so his family and friends where most likely dead.

"So what are you?" Sunset asked. Malthael stood up as his wings came out.

"I'm... an Archangel.”

"Wait you're an angel? You don't look like any angel I've ever heard of." She said pointing a finger at the armored figure before her.

"Well, I should say I was an Archangel, but I left my throne and became Death itself. It's all a little convoluted and hard to explain." Malthael said waving a hand in the air, ruining his dramatic pose.

"You're death! Does this mean... does this mean that I'm...? Oh dear sweet Celestia no." Sunset stammered out, letting her blanket drop so she could clutch herself tightly. Malthael slowly walked toward Sunset, folding his wings to his back and carefully placed a hand on the trembling woman's shoulder.

"It's not your time yet, but if we don't get you warm then that might change." Malthael whispered to Sunset, hoping to ease her nerves.

Malthael looked around, a few rocks could be used to block the entrance a bit to help them. He used his magic to help against the winds. Sunset looked on. Death was actually right there helping her live! The heat rose as the cold was blocked a bit. He also rearranged the rocks near her to give her a place to break the wind. "Why are you helping me? You’re death!"

Malthael dropped his hood down, revealing his face. He was paled skin, a bit moreso given his time out of the sun. He saw his hair was platinum blond instead of his dirty blonde, and his eyes were grey. "To tell you the truth I'm not totally death, I myself ended up in this world with little control over my powers, met these two monarchs, Gaia and something was put to sleep in chains in some place called Tartarus, and then I broke out."Malthael sat down. "All this because I saved a village of colorful ponies, I had to literally fight my way out of the place killing everything since everything there was trying to kill me." He finished.

Sunset looked away from the man in front of her. Or at least she thought he was a man. The pale skin made him look so old. "My story's not as tragic as yours. I used to be a normal pony. Of course, I didn't think so at the time. I was Princess Celestia's personal student. I thought I was better than everypony. The Princess would always tell me that she was grooming me to become a princess, but I'd have to be patient for that day to come. I was arrogant. I thought that Celestia didn't want to share her power with me, and was dangling a carrot in front of my face to keep me obedient. I ran away, and found another world that I thought I would control. Eventually, I stole the Element of Magic and took it back into the other world."

“Because the Element was confused and trying to adapt to the magic free environment of the mirror world, I was able to force it into ascending me into an Alicorn. I only found out about the corrupted nature of the transformation once I tried to return to Equestria to make amends. But, I don't think that's possible. I acted like a foal. I ran away and threw a tantrum because I didn't get what I wanted. And because of that I took control of others minds in attempt to overthrow my old mentor and show her I was better than her new student could ever hope to be. I deserve being stuck in this body. I deserve having a face that not even my parents will recognize, and most of all I deserve to die." Sunset finished tears streaming down her face.

Malthael sighed. He wondered how to make her feel better. He then had an idea. "Let me tell you something, you where impatient, yes, but you do not deserve to die." He said. "People think forgiveness is easy, it’s harder than one thinks, trust me I myself knew before all of this of great villains becoming the best of heroes, being good is easy, true strength takes falling and rising again." He stood up. "The way I see it the element knew you needed a new start so it gave it to you." He finished. He held her head up. "Sometimes we must see our own darkness to understand our light." He finished. Sunset let a tear fall.

"Thanks, you’re right." She said. The two sat beside the camp fire.

"So, back on the elements what do they look like?"

Sunset started off about them being necklaces and a crown. Malthael tapped his head. "I think I remember them, a rainbow blast hit me and nothing happened to me."

Sunset was wide eyed. “How is that possible.... wait death, could it be you’re naturally immune to them?” She thought aloud.

"What does me being Death have to do with that rainbow beam having no effect on me?" Malthael asked, arching an eyebrow at the woman.

"They're called the Elements of Harmony for a reason. They don't actually damage anything they're used against. They simply purify and bring their target into harmony with the rest of the world. But, you're already in harmony with the world. Death works in tandem with life and is all a part of keeping the world in balance."

'Damn it, I know there's a joke I should be making here! These last thousand years really have fucked with my memory.' Malthael thought. He kept those thoughts to himself and instead said, "That actually makes a lot of sense, Sunset. You're really smart."

Sunset blushed at this. Outside, it started to get darker. "Well night’s coming, we best get some sleep." Malthael said there before casting a bit of magic into the fire.

"Thanks." Sunset said. Unknown to them a bond was forged that night.

(Meanwhile)

In another part of the land near the edge of Equestria Discord looked out at the moon. He sat on a tree. He took something form his pocket dimension. It was in a small safe. Opening it he pulled out a key. This was no ordinary key. 'I'm surprised they didn't check me.' He thought. This key was sacred to his race a deal with harmony for chaos was needed to bring change to a world. "The key to the Element’s true power is within my hand." He looked it out. "The key to rainbowfied power." Discord placed it back in its safe and in his pocket dimension.

In her study Twilight nothing was coming up on the being. She pulled out a book of legends. After a while she found him on an image. "Malthael, the Angel of Death.” She read out.There was hardly anything in the book. Everything that was written was pretty much what Discord had told her. Although the book left out the part about saving a village and claimed that Malthael had instead attacked the village. The book went on to glorify King Chronos and Queen Gaia, and claimed that they sacrificed themselves to seal away the greatest evil that Equestria had known. The book then claimed that Malthael had corrupted the home of the Draconequui and that the three unified tribes had to destroy their forest and wipe out the Draconequui to prevent the corruption from spreading. Twilight closed the book and started to massage her temples. "For the first time in my life, I don't think I can trust one of my books." She muttered.

The book was pure lies. It was nothing but bias and racism. They just wrote down genocide against the race who’s last surviving member would basically torment them and make life hell. It was racist and the words everypony was mixed with even everynotpony! It was like they weren’t even trying! "Maybe Discord’s right." Twilight felt a chill go up her spine. Discord right about something, that was a scary thought. Times may have changed but it seems that perhaps for the ponies not as much as others. Even Discord wasn't what she originally thought if anything he could have been friendlier if his home and race hadn't been destroyed. "Perhaps it's for the best he destroyed the past, if the tale was anything to go by nothing would be worth much."

Twilight now had to find Discord, who most likely up and left them. With no reports of strange chaos it was safe to assume he went out into the wilds. Twilight almost wanted to bang her head against something. A lot of Equestria was wilds with a guard that she lamented was incompetent he could be anywhere as could Malthael. Twilight wondered how he was able to shrug of the elements powers. It was by all rights impossible.

-------Out in the cold the sun finally came up as the two travelers walked out. "How'd you sleep Sunset?" Malthael asked, almost pulling his hood over his face again, but he changed his mind when he caught her shivering again. Without thinking, he pulled his cloak off and handed it to the young woman.

"Aren't you going to be cold without that?" Sunset asked, hesitantly taking the offered clothing.

"I'm Death; I'm supposed to be cold." He said with a chuckle.

"Well, okay," Sunset said while finally getting a good look at the supposed Angel of Death. He seemed to be very thin, although with the armor covering him it was hard to tell how much muscle he had. His platinum blonde hair reached the nape of his neck, and looked oddly clean for a being that most likely hadn't washed in over a millennia. It took a while for Sunset to notice but Malthael was slightly handsome. Once you got past the extremely pale skin, his angular features were pleasing to the eye. His face was thin almost to the point of being gaunt, but it matched his character.

However, she saw on his sides were two one handed scythes. They were like long daggers, only curved. In the human world they had a belief that the grim reaper wielded a long scythe. It seems death favored light weight and speed over force. The two moved though the cold. Sunset stepped onto the ice. She paused, as did Malthael, and cracks were being seen. The ice suddenly gave out.

Malthael’s instincts activated as the wings of dark light came out. "Sunset!" He screamed. Sunset closed her eyes. She at first thought about her life as images flashed ending on Malthael’s words. She opened them. Suddenly long feathered wings shot out and flapped as she shot up beside Malthael. "Well I'll be." Malthael said.
Sunset looked behind her. Her wings were feathered with the tips being black. "So I'm not a demon." She started. The angel of death moved up to her.

"No like I said you’ve seen your own darkness."

"Yeah, you did." Sunset replied looking up at Malthael with a smile. The moment was short lived when Sunset lost control of her wings for a second and threatened to fall back into the ice. Malthael reacted quickly and pulled Sunset into his arms, carrying her bridal style. Sunset took a few moments to collect herself, but immediately started blushing when she realized the position she was in.

"Sorry, I was a unicorn when I was a pony so I don't really know how to use these wings too well."

"Don't worry about it." Malthael chuckled, unaffected by the position they were in. "Let's find a stable piece of ice and maybe we can let you practice with them."

Sunset herself was starting to get used to her wings. While she practiced, Malthael himself was debating where next to go. "Say, do you know of the nearest place of civilization is?" He asked Sunset.

Sunset landed having gotten better with her wings. "The Crystal Empire is a bit north of here; I ended up here when they transferred the mirror." Sunset pointed the way. Malthael stood up.

"Well if you think you’re up for it, we could fly there." He offered. Sunset looked at her wings so was getting use to them, it seemed reasonable.

"Sure, beats walking." She said with a smile. The two took off to the crystal empire.

The flight didn't take that long, a little over an hour. Sunset's wings faltered a few times but she stayed in the air this time. The two of them stopped at the barrier that separated the Empire from the tundra outside. "Are you sure about this? We don't know how they'll react to us?" Sunset asked worried about what Malthael might do if he felt threatened.

"Yeah I'm sure, I need to get used to this world eventually." Malthael replied obviously nervous. "Besides, you said this place is run by the Princess of Love so she might be a little more tolerant of me than some other ponies might be. Still, you might want to pull up your hood and claim to be something else so you don't get caught up in whatever craziness I might cause."

The two walked into the bubble noticing the immediate change in temperature. 'So far so good,' Malthael thought. The two of them started to come up on the city. A sparkly pony stood to greet them.

"Hello, we don't usually get visitors." The pony said. The two looked up at the mare who seemed a bit overjoyed. She looked at Malthael. "I’ve never seen something like you before." The mare shrugged. "Who cares at least it beats the yeti and polar griffins coming for trade." The crystal pony jumped up and left.

The two looked at each other. The ponies seemed mostly friendly. The two moved into town. Malthael looked over his bag; he had money form the blizzard con thing, mostly gold and silver pieces. "Sunset wait here I'll have to get some stuff ok." Malthael started. Sunset gave a nod. Malthael entered into a store. Sunset waited for a moment when a familiar voice was heard.

"Stop right there Malthael." She turned to see Twilight Sparkle. Twilight immediately recognized she was wrong. "Oh sorry I got you confused for someone else." Twilight said. A piece of Sunsets hair came out when she turned. Twilight blinked a few times trying to place it. Her eyes were wide. "Sunset Shimmer?"

Sunset wanted to panic. But realized that would be stupid. Twilight was the first one to tell her that she deserved a second chance. She took a deep breath and knew exactly what she had to do. Sunset dropped down to one knee so she would be at eye level with the pony. "Shh. Twilight, can you be quiet. I don't want to cause a scene."

Twilight nodded and whispered back, "What are you doing here? I thought you were going to try and make friends in the mirror world."

"I was, but I felt like I needed to make amends with Celestia, and you. I'm sorry Twilight. My arrogance nearly caused a disaster for two worlds. Nothing I say or do can make up for what I did, but I hope that this is at least a start."

"Of course it is, Sunset." Twilight replied wrapping her fore-hooves around the woman for a quick hug. "But, why are you still human? If you came through the mirror shouldn't you be a pony?"

"Because I used the Element in a corrupted state, my form is stuck like this."

Inside the shop Malthael had his own problems, or problem rather. He gave the unicorn a glare. "You’re trying to swindle me aren't you?" He asked.

The unicorn was amazingly calm. "No I'm not these are some of the finest magical items in the land."

Malthael’s eyes twitched. He could tell this guy was a greedy shop keeper. He could literally feel the soul of his being. "One I'm sure I saw this same thing in a nearby store for half two this one is just enchanted wood painted gold." He held up another charm.

The unicorn’s eye twitched. "I will not be lied to by you." This soon snowballed.

"So you’re stuck as a human?" Twilight wanted to write this down but thought against it. Before either could answer a being flew through the window. Malthael stood up. He was now pissed.

"You’re not welcome here! My merchandise is top of the line!" The unicorn screamed. Malthael held the gold object then snapped it.

"This is wood, I don't know how many people ponies whatever you scammed but now you officially crossed the line." He brought out his sickles. The unicorn suddenly had the feeling he just through his life away.

"I suddenly regret some of my life choices." The unicorn said surprised.

"Yeah death can do that to people." Malthael replied, channeling the power of death.

Twilight gasped as she saw the familiar sickles and felt a deep dread as Malthael's magic permeated through the air. Before Twilight could fire a spell at the Archangel Sunset ran up to Malthael and wrapped her arms around him in desperation.

"Mal! Please, don't do it!" She pleaded, burying her now exposed face into his back. "I know he's a greedy bastard, but he doesn't deserve whatever it is you're thinking of doing to him. Let's just get a guard and let them deal with this swindler."

Malthael shifted his focus from the scum he was set on reaping and to the sobbing woman that had latched herself onto his back. One look at her face was enough to lift the haze that had claimed him enough to think straight. Malthael lowered his arms and released a deep exhale. "You're right, Sunset. I almost became the monster they thought I was a milennia ago." He said with a dry chuckle. Malthael turned back to the shopkeeper and some of his anger returned. "This young lady just saved your wretched soul. I'd thank her if I were you." He snarled.

However a voice suddenly rang out. "Wait this is fake!" An earth pony said. In his hooves was a gold rod it broke apart it was wood. Several other Pegasus unicorns even a frozen griffin broke theirs. They turn toward the scared out of his mind unicorn. "Get him!" One yelled. With that a mob ran at him Twilight was unfortunately in the way.

"Wait, stop, ahhh!." The princess tried as the unicorn ran for his life. Twilight moaned as she was on the ground. The poor unicorn was now being chased by almost everyone in the market.

A crystal Pegasus came up to them. "Thanks we wanted him to get run out of town for a long time." The pegasus said. No one seemed to care that Twilight was unconscious. "If you need anything just ask it’s on the house." The two travelers looked each other with a smile.

"There are a few things."

Twilight finally awoke. A filly looked at her. "You ok?" It asked. Twilight looked around; Sunset and Malthael were not there.

Twilight looked around the market, rubbing her head and hoping that she'd be able to spot Sunset and Malthael. She saw nothing and the only noise she heard was the distant echo of the mob that had trampled her. 'Seriously, I know I said I don't want to be treated like I'm special just because I'm a princess now. But could I at least not get a concussion from angry mobs!' Twilight sighed and told the filly that she'd be fine and made her way toward the Crystal Palace. She thought it would be helpful to tell Cadence and her BBBFF what Malthael looked like without his cloak, and about his strange traveling companion.Twilight couldn't help but wonder how the two of them had met. And that Sunset seemed oddly close to the Angel of Death. Still, that could wait for later. Right now she needed to pass on this important news to Cadence and the other princesses.

Author's Note

This story is a idea bred off a thought and spear headed by NewUntiedEmpire. He saw one day my desire to breathe new life into Human in Equestria one day and forwarded his own idea, then this happened.
His words not mine. I'm just some Shmuck at a keyboard who thought writing about ponies would be a good way to improve my creative writing skills.
