Every Cloud has a Red Lining

New Love Under the Moon.

///

              Looking out of his door he made sure that no one was awake. When he made sure that everyone was asleep he silently left through the front door and silently closed it so Twilight or spike wouldn't wake up. When he was out the door he walked toward the nearest pond or steam to look at the moon. He just need to be awake so that nightmare wouldn't happen again. As he walked he could still hear the laugh. Whenever it came to his mind it chilled him to the bone. He had to tell the others about the dream but not now. When he reached a pond towards the outskirts of Ponyville he saw a figure. This surprised Crimson because no sensible pony would be up at this hour, well maybe Luna but she was still regain her power from the other day. The figure hearing his footsteps turned and he couldn't believe it. The shadow was a girl around his age and stunning to him with the light reflecting of her eyes which were as gray as stone. Her body color and mane was an icy-blue with a line of darker blue that made it look like water melting from it.

              "Who are you? What are you doing here?" She said with annoyance. When Crimson heard her voice he was at a loss of words. Her voice was melodic like a calm, classical song, even angry soothed his very soul.

              "S-Sorry! I didn't think anypony else was up at this hour. I couldn't sleep so I decided to walk, my name is Crimson, and I just started living here not to long ago," he explained why he was walking around town at night, leaving out the part about the dream with Darkness, "Now you know who I am, who are you?"

              She was calm now after the explanation and she told him, "My name is Myst,with a y, it's nice to meet you Crimson." She smiled at him after her introduction, and he couldn't help but smile back. So, they talked to each other about their lives and where they were from, something Crimson couldn't do very well. Myst was from Cloudsdale the city where there are only pegasi. There the create the clouds for the weather and the other weather related things. Crimson simply told her how he got here and what he did after he woke up from the three days of sleep.

              "I was there at the party in the library and Twilight wasn't very amused at the timed," she giggled at the thought. "I've lived here long enough not to refuse an invitation to one of Pinkie's parties."

              "Yeah she can throw one heck of a party. That as one the best moments of my life,even though I didn't stay long, it was a lot of fun," he laughed with her as they talked they noticed that the night was over and they had to go home.

              "We should meet up again this was fun, it's nice to have somepony to talk to every once in a while." She said still smiling from the time they spent together.

              He nodded in agreement and suggested that they should meet again, but at a ridiculous hour. She agreed to meet him again tomorrow, and then started to fly home. Crimson waved, then started his walk back to the library.

                When he got back to the library he was greeted by a surprised Twilight.

              "Where have you been I thought you we do asleep. Why were you out running around town?" She asked with a confused look.

              "I'll tell you after I take a quick nap," he yawned then said,  "I couldn't really sleep last night."  And with that he was back in bed and was out like a light. When he woke up an hour or so had passed, and he was ready to tell Twilight what he dreamt about.

              "Okay tell me why you weren't in your room the entire night." She demanded.

              "Which do you want the good news or the bad news?" He asked.

              "Good news first," she said impatiently. She really wanted to know where he was and what he was doing.

              "I know what my purpose is and why the Creator sent me," he said with less excitement than Twilight thought he would, "and I'm not the first to be sent."

              "Isn't that a good thing? You can finally do what

you're supposed to do." She then asked him, "What is your purpose and where are the others?"

              Crimson just stared at the floor and said, "I have to stop the apocalypse, and what wants to start it. I have no idea when it will happen, but I know that it's coming another entity, like the Creator, will start it and the others aren't with the living anymore they were killed by the same evil." He tried to fight the tears that were welling up in his eyes, but he couldn't. He started to cry again, this time for the lost ponies who came before him. Not knowing who they were or where they came from.

              "Sorry for this Crimson," she said when he looked up he got a smack on the face. "This what he wants, for you to give up without a fight, there could be others like you who are still alive, this thing is trying to mess with your head."

              When he calmed he said, "Thanks Twi I needed that." And hugged her, when that was over she called Spike to send  a letter to the princess about the news.

              The only thing that he didn't talk about was his fateful encounter of Myst. That gave Crimson company and talked to him when he needed it the most then he thought to himself that he would introduce her when the time was right and when he got to know her better.
