Davi Krypt and his assistant Neon Scratch go on a trip for The Enlightened Six, and the Queen of Knowledge needs them to pick up one of her friends.

"These roads can change from dirt, to rock, to Gravel, but one thing is the same, there was Military vehicles all over this these roads."

Roads prove to be a hard place, never stopping, never ending, and the worst of all, it leaves behind scars, at least that what Davi believes. Davi is the Personal Messenger for The Enlightened Six, and is a teacher on the side.

The assistant and daughter of Davi Krypt: Neon Scratch, is Davi's loyal Companion, always at his side, making sure he doesn't go crazy, and always makes him smile. She is Davi's spine, keeping him up, not letting him fall, and is The Queen of Optimism's favorite, though Neon, is something more than the happy child she is.

These two go for another typical Mail run for The Enlightened Six, take their packages, deliver them to specific people, grab the person who needs a ride, then Go Talk to The Queen of Care-giving, but, They meet someone who has met with a terrible fate.

A cup of coffee is my best friend, morning or not

A small beam of light flows through the curtain. The room was small, but looked comforting,even in the low light. There was a bed pushed against the wall to the left of the door. the alarm clock on the nightstand next to the bed, switches from "6:29" to"6:30" it set of the alarm. A groan comes from the bed, a man emerges from the covers," damn thing." he says as he tries to find his socks. a knock comes from the door. "Davi, it's time to wake up!" a woman's voice comes through the opposite side of the door. " I know! already Neon!!" Davi yelled back. He put on his socks and turned off the Alarm Clock. he stood groggily, and shifted over to the wardrobe. he felt the wooden handle on the door, The wood woke him up, but, only because of his Memories.

" Time to get ready for the trip." Davi said to himself as grabbed his outfit. it was an okay outfit, not very stylish. it was mostly based on the past, a generic suit, a trench coat and a red Scarf. his muscled frame was average, but he never liked it, he believed having an attractive body and being a teacher was a bit troublesome, as evidence, he had a student trying to seduce him, into giving her an A.

Davi had finished putting on his clothes and stepped out into the hallway, he looked down the hall where he could see the kitchen, he owned a small house in Canterlot, close to being a small apartment. his hallway was fairly decorated, some pictures on the walls. one of the pictures catches his eye. It was a picture of him and his friends, Davi and his friend Sharp Notes were holding each other with one arm, and his other friend in the background, Gloomy Tune, she was photo bombing. Davi Chuckled as he remembered all of those time they spent together, but it was weird when Sharpie and Gloomy dated, but, since the war, Davi had been Taking care of their child, Neon Scratch.

" Davi what do you wan't to eat?" Neon called from the kitchen.

" Just get me toast." Davi said quietly, putting his hand on the picture, remembering his youth.

" What?" The Pegasus called " Neon." appeared at the end of the hallway, she had a small cute face, and her hair was multi colored, from pink, to light blue, then to yellow, and it flowed down her slim body. She was average height for a girl her age, but buying clothes for a Harpy, proved expensive, her wings are premature, and she can fly with the eagles. but finding a leather jacket to keep her warm and to fit her was hard,  but The Princess of Charity made a specialised sweater for her.

" Nothing, just, Memories." Davi said as he slowly pulled away from the Picture.

" well, we have to eat, and get to the castle, we also have to get our packages from The Enlightened 6 to give to there families." Neon walks back into the Kitchen.

" allright." Davi Follows behind her, "I wish they were here." he whispered to himself.

The castle stood proud above the hill, it's gold lining glistened in the November snow, the cold air was comforting to Davi, who stood front proudly in front of what seemed to be a display, it had a soldier in between two others, the middle one had armor on, along with a fully enclosed helmet, with a red scarf around his neck, the one to the right had similar armor, but it was a Pegasus, and it looked Strong in height, and in width. " May YOU watch this side/So I can make a PATH/For your Future.... for mine is behind ME." Davi smiled, " he was always crazy." He smiled at the tall, strong Pegasus in front of him. Tearing up, he held the statue around the neck and leaned on it's head. "why?..." he sniffled.

" why must we Dogs of War sacrifice The best in us..... just to kill them in Battle?" He cried leaning against the Soldier's Statue.

Davi pulled away, and placed his hands on the soldiers chest, he drew a sharp breath. " Oh gawd." he cried. he placed his head on the soldiers chest, weeping quietly. he fell on his knees, " no." he got up.

" ohhhh faithful one, where the angels fly, above.

keep calling us, your, faithful hounds

and should the sky be filled with, fire and smoke

we keep careful watch of your... sons."

The song kept it's purity as Davi held his memories to his chest, both hands on his fallen brothers unmarked statue, forever immortalized as 'The Soldier To Right'. Davi teared up, but didn't let out his cry. " Davi...." a similar voice called behind this crying man in the canterlot garden.

" At least you remember it." he pulled away from the statue, and turned around to look at The Princess Of Knowledge, Princess Twilight Sparkle. The Princess responsible for The New World, and the Ultimate Ruler Of Equestria. Her outfit looks the same, messy, coffee spilled all over her Labcoat, luckily she doesn't wear dresses, and her hair in that same manner, messy. she is also followed by her assistant, Spike The Dragon, who is always wearing that stupid leather jacket, and gis scales still looking a bit purple, but he mimicked one of us. but at least his Chuck taylors and dark jeans make up for his dorky attitude.

" At least you remember it." She echo'd back, she walked closer to Davi, " Oh, If only I could forget my dear friend, I wouldn't have to keep it a secret." she turned her back swiftly, and pulled out a Cigarette, "Spike, if you would." she held out her smoke, Spike groaned at such a menial task, and blew a small burst of flame, and lit up the tip of the Stick. She brought it to her lips and drew a sharp breath from it, filling her mouth of the dark thick clouds of nicotine and deadly chemicals. she then sucked it in her lungs, she shivered a bit. She blew out her smoke into a circle pattern. She digged in her pocket, and pulled out a pack, " want one." she gestured to Davi.

" No thanks, I try to keep my emotions away from my smoking." he said looking at her, studying her appearance, and seeing what she was doing, they don't exactly mix, nor should they be combined.

" what happened to that book worm who loved to be cautious , and who hated it when I had a pack on me?" Davi thought to himself as he caught up to her.

" The job does stuff to you, huh?" Davi smiled at Twilights response.

" Oh, you have no Idea, It's like being apart of some stupid after school club." she smiled at Davi, and they laughed together, Memories can be powerful.

A bullets flew through the air. Davi sat in the rubble, holding his knees, crying. Bullets can be heard entering peoples bodies from a mile away, and the sound of flesh landing on the ground can be heard next to Davi. There is an airplane, it's overhead, no, It's three feet away. There is an explosion, a baby's cry, Davi Is cutting an umbilical cord in an Infirmary, "shhh, It's okay." Davi said holding on to a crying baby. " Davi, let me see my baby." Gloomy Tunes lies on the bed, she looks pale.

she...

loss...

so...

much Blood.

The feeling of being shook awakes Davi hastily, "aahhhhhh!" he jumps up. "ahhh!" Neon falls back onto her ass. Davi on the bed, Breathing heavily, he grips the sheets tightly. " Oh my god." he sets his feet on the floor

" Oh my gosh Davi, what's wrong?" Neon gets up as soon as she sees Davi's scared, but emotionally scarce face.

" Nothing," he pulls up his right hand to his face, seeing the car in the middle of his palm, " Nothing." Neon wraps her arms around his head.

" nothing again?" Davi smiled to Neons question, Immediately feeling better. " yes."
