Apploosa...

Mason's eyes opened as he let out a breath of uncertainty looking around the area, he saw his friends, his family, his tribe sleeping. Mason let out a sigh and rose from his bedspread and looked around the campfire. Looking forward he saw a short and small buffalo, her name
Little Strongheart she was agile and smart and has been Mason's friend for years now. And recently named his deputy by his superiors.

Mason coming from both a Native American background felt comfortable with these creatures,
they were his family, these creatures took him in at a young age. Even when he cried throughout the night when he first arrived.

Nightmares plagued Mason as he remembered the tragedy that befallen him when he was eight. He remember the smell of cooking flesh, the smell of burning wood, the screams of his family. Everything, yet when he entered the spirit realm he felt nothing, but peace. As if his life on earth never occurred. Being the sheriff of Apploosa's spiritual counterpart gave him a lot of thanks for his life. Seeing so many dead creatures even few young spirits who refuse to even consider death, they all think of it as a game, that they'd eventually wake up from their horrid nightmares. Never realizing they're gone from the world simply dust in the wind.

As Mason reflected upon that he felt a tear drop from his cheek and down towards the ground. Quickly wiping his cheek, he looked around the campfire and carefully stepped away from his tribe.

He looked at his pocket watch given to him by Yuma, his famliar she was the one who guided him to a better life amongst these gentle creatures who want nothing more, but peace.

He tossed his pocket watch in the air seeing the world distort he covered his eyes and gasped as he felt a warm claw upon his shoulder.

Looking up he saw his dragoness familiar simply smiling.

"Is there something wrong?" Yuma asked

"These nightmares plague my mind and refuse to leave, I struggle to come to terms with these horrid images and smells." Mason simply stated as he sat down near Yuma, she frowned and sighed kissing his forehead.

"And these Nightmares occur nightly?" Mason simply nodded and looked towards his necklace a saber tooth tiger necklace given to him by Yuma.

"Have you tried confronting these demons?"

"I have, when I was younger, but confronting them requires a ritual that I have yet proven myself worthy for. For these buffalo may be my family there's not much I may do."

"You have to prove yourself worthy Mason, your tribe needs you to be brave when in time of crisis, I need you to be brave in times of crisis too." Yuma simply looked at the tanned young man as she saw his spiritual form, he had a rather long brown duster with a simple brown cowboy hat with a few hawk and falcon feathers atop of it.

"Of course Yuma, but how may I prove myself?" He asked

"There are many other humans like you living in Equestria oblivious to one another. Seek out a man named Devon and a man named Dante. I assure you those two may assist you."

"Are they like me?" He asked

"Both have heartache in their past you are the only one aware of your past." Yuma simply vanished as Mason stood dumbfound in the middle of the village. Letting out a sigh Mason walked back to his bed spread and laid once more there his world distorting back into reality.

Manehatten...

Devon let out a yawn as his eyes adjusted to the darkness the only light source from the living room tv.

He heard a soft snore looking towards the couch he spotted his roommate and long time friend Coco Pommel. Her soft snores made him chuckle as he looked around the tiny apartment. In actuality Devon often over-exaggerated the living quarters, it fit both him and his roommate with plenty of room to spare, but that was besides the point.

He rose from his seat in the kitchen and stretched out his muscles.

"Damn Suri must be working the poor mare, oh well she did ask to be a designer if that's what it takes then who am I to interfere." Devon mumbled as he picked up Coco from the living room couch carrying her to her room. Pushing the door open he spotted several items scattered around the floor either from early in the morning from Coco getting ready for work or Coco well being Coco.

Placing the mare on the bed Devon pet her mane making her smile softly.

"Good night kid." Devon chuckled

"I'm only a year younger then you." Coco mumbled in her sleep.

"This mare." Devon simply said smiling as he exited the room.

Letting out another yawn Devon took out his pocket watch and tossed it into the air. Letting the world warp around him.

Looking down to his clothes no longer did he wear his usually clothing of black t-shirt with gray jeans. Now he wore a black trench coat with a suit underneath just without his jacket.

"Glad to see you once more." Looking to his right he saw his familiar simply leaning on the wall of his apartment.

"Zelda, glad to see you once more." He said with a chuckle.

Zelda was a gryphon of sorts and Devon's trusted companion, she was the who guided him to a peaceful life with others as he actually had a life with parents or guardians, moving from orphanage to orphanage on Earth he didn't remember anything from the orphanages once he arrived in Equestria, blessed with a family and friends who cared for him no matter his looks and faults.

"So any word on the council? After the whole Nightmare incident I heard some sheriff in Ponyville managed to close those damned Tartarus gates, he comes anywhere near Manehatten I gotta buy him a drink."

"Nope I heard the sheriff answers directly to the council and to Franklin."

"Easy Zelda, I know you're horny for that guy, but you gotta calm yourself down." Zelda let out a sigh and rolled her eyes making Devon glare at his familiar.

"Why don't we go out for stroll?" Devon suggested

"Ya mean urban jungle run?" Zelda asked

"Exactly babe let's vamoose!" Devon said approaching the door and letting Zelda out of the apartment.
