I started to cry.

   “NO! MAKE IT STOP! DAD! ZEUS! ANYONE HELP!” After I shouted my plea of desperation, the scene changed to the camp fire back at Camp HalfBlood. Everyone I met at camp, and the others who joined my to help Oliver were in tears. I looked around and saw the 12 Olympians all gathered around a coffin. The coffin was decorated with many symbols that represent… Me. I was watching my own funeral. “NO! I’M NOT DEAD! I’M RIGHT HERE! HADES TELL THEM I’M NOT DEAD! DAD, ARTEMIS! I’ M NOT DEAD! I’M STILL ALIVE!” I ran over to grab Artemis, but my hand went right through her. “No, this isn't real!” I shrank to my knees and started crying with silent sobs. “If you’re going to kill me, just get over with it. As you can see, I've lost everything.” I said as I felt a presence behind me.

   “I’m not going to kill you Logan. You may have lost a great deal, but you have gained just as much as anypony in Equestria.” I turned around to see Luna behind me.

   “Why try to help me? You ponies trusted me and I betrayed all of you.” She merely smiled as she continued to speak.

   “You really loved her didn't you?” I looked at her to she that she was talking about Artemis. I smiled a sad smile.

   “Yeah. She was amazing. She helped me through everything. That silver arrow I shot a few times was the arrow she gave me to summon her, but it only works as a distraction now.”

  “You mean her talent deals with the moon too?!” I chuckled as she looked at Artemis with a quizzical look.

“Yeah, it does. She is the goddess of the moon. And she helped restore me to the land of the living.” Luna looked at me in shock and confusion.

  “I saved their lives many, many lifetimes ago. Because they were so grateful, the brought me back to the human world many years ago. Then after I was home not even 20 minutes, I get sent here.” She looked at me in surprise. “Yeah, my life is kinda screwed up, I know.”  Then I woke up.

  “Ugh, my head. Anyone get the licence plate number off the semi that hit me?” I looked around to see 9 ponies around me. “Ah, f… *COUGH* my life! Why are you staring at me? I need to beat Chrysalis.” “Ha, You’re funny. You ain't going anywhere like that.” I shot a confused look at AppleJack. “Get me a mirror.” I said. Once I had the object in my grasp, I looked at my reflection and saw that I had a black eye, bandages around my right arm, my head, and my torso. “Ha! You think I look bad? You should have seen me when I fought the Hydra for the first time. I had five broken ribs, a shattered wrist, and a fractured skull.” They all stared at me slack jawed. “Now if you’ll excuse me.” I went to get up, but was stopped by the white mare with a flowing rainbow mane.

  “Oh no you don’t! Not until you’re all better.” I looked at Princess Celestia with an annoyed look.

  “Fine. At least take me to a lake or river. I need a swim." I then got up without any interference.

After a while we were by a river that ran close to Ponyville. I then walked ahead of the others.  “I’ll be back in a minute.” I said to them as I took off my clothes, save for my boxers.

  “What about your bandages? You don’t want them on?” I looked at Rarity with a smile.

   “I’ll be fine. Just you see.” I waded into the water and sank to the bottom with the water healing my injuries. ‘Ahh, this is the life. Just relaxing at the bottom of a lake with absolutely no worries.’ I looked up and saw that one of the ponies dove in and was swimming towards me. “What’s wrong Luna?” She looked at me and gasped. That was a huge mistake. I watched as her lungs filled with water and she was slowly sinking as she thrashed around. I floated there wide eyed. I was shocked into action when I saw her struggling stop and a small cloud of bubbles emerge from her mouth. “NO! I WILL NOT LOSE YOU!” I shot down to her using my power over water to give me a boost. I saw the light in her eyes slowly fade as I closed in. ‘Just a little more!’ I finally reached her but it looked as if she were gone. “NO! I WON’T LOSE ANY ONE ELSE! EVER!” With that I shot to the surface in a water spout with her in my arms. I lept out of the water spout and landed with a heavy thud. I laid her down and did my best to will the water out of her lungs, but I felt that it was all in vain. “No, Luna! Not you too.” I fell to the ground fighting back sobs as I beat the earth with my fists in anger. “Why must the fates be so cruel? Why?” I punched the ground with my bloodied fist and felt the weather change and become stormy. The clouds formed into a dark swirling vortex of Hurricanes. “WHY! EVERYTHING I CARE ABOUT GETS RIPPED AWAY! I WILL NOT LOSE YOU LUNA!” I picked her up and held and spoke softly. “Luna, please come back. we need you. I need you. Please Luna, I love you.” I held my head to her chest as I cried. I could hear everypony else weep, but I heard something else. Something very precious, I heard a heartbeat from the alicorn princess.

  “I love you too Logan. I love you too.” She spoke as if she woke up from a long slumber. I looked at her with a huge smile. I hugged her closer and help back more tears.

  “What on earth possessed you to dive into the lake like that?” I looked at her with a worried look.

   “You were down there for 10 minutes and it scared all of us and I panicked and dove in to see if you were ok.” I looked at her and chuckled.

“I swear on Zeus’ Beard, you are just like Artemis” I said with a teary smile.

After a moment, I wiped away the remaining tears, then looked at the ponies with a serious look. “We have to end this now. We have to stop Chrysalis’ reign of terror.”

  “But, Logan! Your hurt!” The tone Fluttershy had was funny, so I laughed. Hard.

  “Didn't I tell you that water heals me? Watch. Twilight, hit me as hard as you can.” They all stared at me in disbelief.

   “Are you sure Logan? I don’t want to hurt you too badly.” I smiled at the fact that she cared.

   “Really? After you saw what Chrysalis did? I doubt you could hurt me worse.” I got in a defensive stance as she replied.

  “If you insist. Ready?” I nodded a yes and prepared for the blast. There was a loud bang as I was thrown 200 yards away. All of the ponies gasped at Twilight's powerful attack. “I’m good!” While I was flat on the dirt, I stuck up a thumbs up, then I stood on shaky legs and looked at my self. ‘Di Immortals! That was one hell of a hit.’ I felt warm fluid running over my body from a gash on my torso. As I made a feeble attempt to reach the water, I fell flat on my face. “A little help please?” Before I knew it, I was in the water, and healing. After a minute I walked out of the water with no visible injuries. “Told you. I’m perfectly fine” I said with a weak smile. "I just need some Ambrosia and Nectar and I’ll be good.” They all looked at me funny. Then I realized that they had no idea what I was talking about. “Sorry, just take me to Sweet Apple Acres. I hid a bag there before I met AppleJack.”
