Every Cloud has a Red Lining

The Introduction's Are In Order

///

         As soon as the tour was finished Crimson and Twilight went back to the library only to find a tall, white alicorn, as they are called here, with a multicolored mane and tail. She seem very young, but had a look of many lifetimes and experiences in her eyes.

            "Ah it seems our friend has awakened," she said in a sweet and calm voice "My name is Celestia and I am in charge of equestrian, but you may already know that from my student here." She gestured toward Twilight, who stood by her side.

            "It's a pleasure, my name is Crimson. And yes Twilight has told me about this land, it's inhabitants, the marks on everyones flanks," he stopped to look at the red sword with golden wings," and the different races.Which she did an excellent job about talking about," he said and saw that Twilight blushed at the compliment.

            "Now," Celestia said, "let's get on with the rest of the business , Twilight said you have no clue about your past or where you came from, is that correct?"

            "Yes,  that's pretty much it." He said wondering what's going to happen next.

            "Okay then I'm going to use a simple spell that will let me dive into your memories, no matter if they are forgotten. Now just relax and clear you mind." Celestia said.

            Crimson did what was told as Celestia readied the spell. When she used it they explored the memory of today, the dreams of when he was asleep, and what happened three days ago when he first arrived in Equestria. Then before it was over there was the memory of the room and reflecting pool. Then a wave of emotion hit him hearing himself yell at an unknown entity and cry because it took whatever he had away. Celestial seeing all she needed cut off power from the spell.

            Crimson found himself back in the library with Twilight staring at him. When he touched his face and his hoof was wet with the tears of the memory.

            "I'm sorry princess that all I can remember. That damn Creator was..." He couldn't say anything else before he started to cry a little. He may have no memories but he did know that it wasn't like him to cry.

            "Don't apologize Crimson you can't blame yourself about what happened," Twilight said trying to comfort the crying stallion ."We'll find out who you are and why you were sent here. Now cheer up, I've decided you'll stay in there spare room here at the library."

             Hearing this Crimson smiled and thanked Twilight for the room and started to set up the room. After an hour or so, when celestia left, he calmed down and he got his room set up they went to Sugarcube Corner. When they arrived they were greeted by an excited Pinkie.

              "Hiya! Follow me to the party." So Crimson and Twilight followed Pinkie upstairs where there were four other ponies. When they saw him they swarmed around him, except the one with a pink mane who stood away from the chaos happening around Crimson and asked him questions of who he was and where he came from. Crimson didn't like to be surrounded and he could hardly understand who was saying what.

             "Please, before you ask questions I would like to know all your names," he said trying to be calm and as polite as possible. "Now who would like to go first?"

            "Ah'll go first." A blonde maned pony with a southern accent, "Mah names Applejack its nice to meetcha."

            "I'm Rarity, it's a pleasure to meet you." A white purple maned unicorn said with an upper class tone of voice. "I run the boutique in town, you may have seen it while you were on your tour with Twilight." Next was a rainbowed maned pegasus who walked with a sense of accomplishment.

              "And I'm Rainbow Dash," she said confidently. "And I am the greatest flyer in Equestria." She seemed pretty sure of herself and she seemed like she could teach Crimson how to fly so he wouldn't fall from the sky. The last introduction was of the yellow pegasus who simply hid in her hair.

              Walking to her he smiled at her and said "And what is your name? Don't worry I'm not a mean guy, and I'm not one to be violent for a good reason."

              Quietly, almost inaudible she said, " My names Fluttershy, it's nice to meet you." Even though she was quite she had a sweet voice that made you feel calm even in the most stressing situations.

               "It's nice to meet you Fluttershy, I'm Crimson." Then when all the introductions were finished the girls then asked him where he came from and he told he all he knew He sensed they sadness of the group after he told the story of how he got here and the Creator. But the feeling was soon gone because Pinkie said that this was a party and there was no reason to feel down.

             The party lasted for several hours. Crimson said he was tired after all that happened today and left towards the library. When he got there he was greeted by Spike.

            "Oh hey Crimson how is everyone?" He asked wondering how the party was. He was the only one not there because it was his bedtime, which Crimson could tell because he looked like he could fall asleep then and now.

              "Everyone is pretty nice. Sorry you couldn't go but I snuck this out for ya." As he finished the sentence he pulled out a cupcake from the party. This was a thank you present for helping make his room.

              "Thanks man!" He said before eating it.

              "Well Spike I'm going to bed this has just bed one long day of new things and it's really draining." He yawned just as he finished the sentence and headed to his room and shut the door. Crimson will soon discover that not all is as it seems

            When sleep finally came Crimson was peacefully dreaming, but that slowly dissolved into a familiar scene. Now he was in the room with the pool, but something was different the pool was black. The feeling of despair came from it and dark evil thoughts with it. Something was with him in this room, like the Creator, this one was unseen but was there without a doubt.

            "Well now what have we here another one of the Creator's pawns? How amusing!" Crimson looked around for the source of this evil voice but couldn't see him, this was not the entity that sent him here but something entirely different.

            "Who are you? What do you want?" He said while looking around. Then he heard a maniacal laughter that was of pure insanity.

            "You could say that I am the opposite of this 'Creator' as he calls himself now. You can call me the Destroyer, Death, or Darkness. Now that I know that that goody two shoes sent another pawn here I have to kill you."

            Hearing that he wasn't the only one sent here he was glad, but the feeling was washed away by the thought of what happened to the other, ponies like him who don't know who they were cut down by some evil thing.

            "Oh looks like my time is u Crimson will soon discover that not all is as it seems

Rage was now the only emotion that he could feel, revenge was the only thing on his mind.

            "Oh looks like my time it's. nice talking to you pawn." Then as he laughed the voice faded out and Crimson woke up in a cold sweat it was still the middle of the night. Now depressed of what was to come he left to go think what to do.
