I have been locked away for a long time but soon I shall be set free. I shall owe who set me free with my life.

I am a unique creature. I'm the only one of my race. I was know as fear and hope. I would serve a pony from time to time. My latest was King Sombra. He saved my life so I saved his. This lead me to be captured and locked away. Years have gone by and I have been forgotten.
That was until I felt a sign of life approaching me. If this creature sets me free I shall owe my life to them.
I am Dako. I am fear and hope. I shall have a new master.

Freedom?

I look around at my surrounding. The surrounding I have lost count seeing. I saw the four crystal chains. Two on my claws. One on my neck and one on my tail. No matter how hard I try I can't break these chains. They were enchanted to reduce my power to minimum. Funny that it was meant for my old master King Sombra. I heard of his defeat. Well Celestia came and rubbed it in my face. She tried to get me to join her but I refused. This was because with my old master gone I was open for a new one. As I'm not one to lead. Somepony could become my master by saving my life or proving themselves. I don't know why Celestia tried as she put me in here.

It has been a while now. I was slowly forgotten. Celestia stopped visiting me after a couple of tries to reform me. I'm not evil! I'm just loyal to my master. Even if they are evil. I thought Luna would visit me but when I last saw her I knocked her out. Heh. Other ponies or creatures wouldn't visit me as I was kept in the basement of Luna and Celestia old castle. No one would go that far deep. Well...apart from Discord. He visits me now and then. When he is bored or has something interesting to say. I remember what he first told me. "You know being in stone is better than what your having." I never been in stone but I take it as the truth as he's been in stones more than once.

" Scootaloo are you sure about this?" Voices? I just sense three week life forces on the ground floor. Hm. The life forces are Apple Bloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle.

"I'm going to head on back. Ah know we need the money but this can't be right."

"I'm going with Apple Bloom." Two of the life forces were moving away. No no. However one force was still left. Scootaloo if I'm right.

I focus all the power I have left into a magical whisper. "Scootaloo...Scootaloo come...Scootaloo you answer is here."

"Girls...I'm going to come with you." No! "Wait...No you go on without me. I...I can't explain it." I felt Scootaloo life force coming closer as the other two left.

Down the stairs. left,right,left,right and down again. She was just in the hallway. "Hello?" She opens the door. A orange filly poked her head in. She searches around the room until her eyes rest on me. "Whoa." She enters the room. Ah so Scootaloo is a pegasus. She walks forwards until she is a few steps away from me. "Hello?"

"Hello Scootaloo."

"How do you know my name?" She starts to circle me.

"Oh I knew since you and the cutie mark crusaders entered the castle."

"Whoa." She was in front of me. "Do you have a name?"

"I do."

"What it is?"

"I will not tell unless your are my master."

"Who is your master?"

"I do not have one any more."

"Who was your master?"

"Are you sure you want to know?" She shakes her head. "Well I have served many in my time as I cannot age."

"Whoa so your some mystical creature?"

"Yes I am. I'm the only one of my kind and proud title of actually being a friend of discord. Also to your other question, my last master was King Sombra."

"King S-sombra? So your evil?" She was starting to shiver.

"No! Please don't get scared. I am neutral. I am just loyal to my master. Good, evil or neither. Please don't viewed me as evil because that is what Celestia and Luna did. Now look at me. I lost my life."

"Um...I sorry to hear that mister. I...I-I gotta go." She turns.

"No wait! Let me go! Please!" She kept on going. "I-I heard Apple Bloom saying she needs money. I can get you as much as you want."

She stops and turns. "You heard that?" I nod. "And...you can give us enough?" I nod.

"If you let me go, I shall help you in anyway."

"But mister it's a lot of money."

"How much?" She walks closer to me.

"2 billion bits."

"Wow. Why do you need that much?"

"It's all my fault." She was starting to tear up. "I was trying to get my cutie mark and one thing happened then..." She was openly crying.

"Scootaloo." She looks up. "I can give you the 2 billion bits."

"How?" She showed signs of hope.

"Now I can't because of these magical chains but let me go and I shall give you the bits." She doesn't look like she trusts me. I quickly search her memories for anything that can help me but the chains are pulling me out. Ah ha! "I Pinkie promise."

All I could see on this little filly face was the biggest smile I have ever seen. Bigger than Sombra when I captured 500 Royal Day and Night guards. "How do I free you?"

I smile back at the filly. "Bring one of the Elements, bearers or an Alicorn to me. I can use their magic to free myself and create your bits." As soon as I speak that sentence she runs out of the room.

I can't believe it! Soon I was going to be free again! I don't care if I bump into Celestia or Luna again!

It's all because of this filly. Little did she know that she wasn't just going to get the bits...she was also going to be my new mistress.

"Won't that be fun?"

"Oh! Hey Discord!"
