I woke up still in twilight’s bed the next morning. I laid in the bed for a minute just thinking of what happened yesterday. I knew that I should feel bad about what happened and part of me did. Hell it caused me to cry and I couldn’t even remember the last time I cried. I just know it was so long ago that I thought I forgot how to cry. Then twilight nearly dies and it was a part of me that almost killed her and for the first time in years I cried. A part of me feels terrible about what happened but ever since it has happened I feel so much at peace.

I look down and find twilight still sleeping next to me. She had buried her face into my chest and her hooves were around my waist slightly crushing my ribs. I tried not to move too much so that she could keep sleeping.
After a few minutes I decided to try and go make breakfast for the both of us. I carefully unwrapped her hooves off my waist and slowly rolled over. Before I could get up and out of the bed I felt cold, hard steel press against my throat. Any normal human would have started freaking out but I was trained to reaction the complete oppose of human beings. So instead of jumping out of the bed and panicking, I laid in the bed calmly and slowly let my eyes follow the blade to see who was wielding it. I noticed the blade was a wing blade, so it was a Pegasus and I have a good feeling who was wielding it. I finished following the blade until I could see the wielder and sure enough it was none other than Storm Kicker. She glared at me and adjusted her wing blade so that I could see them clearly.

“Get up now.” She hissed. I was wondering what her problem was as I got out of bed and moved to where she told me to until I realized why she was acting this way.

“Look it’s not what it looks like.” I said calmly. She looked at me and then flexed her wing blades.

“Give me a reason to use these. I dare you.” She growled. I decided to just let twilight explain.

Storm walked over to twilight and shook her awake. Twilight took a look around the room and then at storm.
“What’s going on Storm?” she asked. Storm walked up to twilight and started inspecting her all over her body.

“Did it hurt you my highness?” She asked with concern. “What did it do to you?” Twilight looked around the room again and then her face lit up as she realized what was going on. She got out of the bed and started to head for me but storm stopped her. Twilight looked at her angrily.

“Storm get out of the way. It’s not what it looks like.”

I started to move forward to help explain but when I took a step forward storm struck me with one of her wing blades. I hissed as the steel cut across my cheek and put my hand over the cut to stop the bleeding.

“You will not move unless you wish to die!” Storm shouted while putting herself between me and twilight. Twilight shoved passed Storm and came up beside me. She then turn to her overprotective bodyguard and scolded her.

“I order you to lower your weapon. You are to go outside and wait until I call you back inside. Then I’ll decide what your punishment will be for your behavior.” Storm glared in my direction and then left the room. Twilight came up next to me and used her magic to make medic pack to appear.

“Let me help you tend to your wound.” She said. I nodded and moved my hand and waited for her to treat my cut.

She looked at my cheek curiously and then said, “I don’t see any cut.”

“Are you sure? I asked, “Can you give me a mirror?” Twilight used her magic to make a mirror appear and I grabbed it and looked at my face. She was right there was no cut but I was certain that Storm cut me. I decided not to question it and move on the making sure twilight was ok.

“So, how are you feeling?” I asked her.

“I’m feeling a lot better. You seem happier. How are you feeling?” She inquired. I smiled and stretched my body happily.

“Last night was the first time in my life that I slept peacefully. My whole life I had nightmares caused by Ra and now he’s too weak to do anything now.”

“Who is Ra?” She asked me as she put the medical pack and mirror up.

“He’s the monster in my head; as you call him. He used up eighteen years of stored darkness energy trying to kill you last night and you were able to beat him. I’m surprised a little.” I stated calmly.

“Oh…yah him.” She said slightly distracted by something she was thinking about.

“You survived the same amount of energy that could wipe out a half a continent. That’s just the coolest thing I’ve ever saw.” I said while smiling at her. My happiness was too much for twilight and she started to smile and chuckle.

“You are acting so weird right now.” She claimed.

“I’m happy! This world’s darkness concentration is so low that it will take months for Ra to store enough energy to give me nightmares.” I said while sitting on the bed.

Twilight sat next to me and asked, “So what is darkness concentration?”

“Well everywhere in the universe there is dark energy. It’s what makes bad things happen and creates evil. Some worlds have more concentration then others and compared to earth’s concentration I would say it this world has twenty; maybe twenty-five percent of dark energy concentration. Earth is drowning in darkness and that’s an understatement. In this world it would take centuries for Ra to gather all the power he lost. At the most he might cause a nightmare every month or so. I’ll show you more about the darkness next time we take a field trip inside my head. That is if you want to?” I finished.

“Of course I want to go back. Nothing is stopping me front learning about your species.” Twilight stated stiffly. That’s twilight for you. No matter what she goes through she always finds a way to move on from it.

“How about I go and buy you breakfast?” I asked her. “That way you can get on to Storm for trying to kill me.” She just sat there laughing at me.

“Ok, fine. Here’s some bits go. Plus you owe me since I was almost killed by a version of you.” She said while laughing. I just rolled my eyes.

“I think a little bit of me go inside your head. Why else would you be able to joke about death so easily.” I said.

“I kind of like that idea a little.” She purred. I raised my eyebrows are her sudden change in personality. I took a good look at her and notice that her body language had completely changed in the brief span of seconds.

“You feeling ok, twilight?” I asked her. She looked at me then shook her head back and forth.

“Sorry about that. I don’t know what happened. Why don’t you go get us breakfast and after we eat you can head off to Rarity’s shop.” I nodded and exited the room.

Twilight called storm into her room and had her sit in front of her. “Guardian is not an it. He’s just like us and would not hurt me an any way. I want you to apologies to him when he returns and promise to stop trying him like a monster.”

Strom looked at twilight angrily, “You want me to trust that thing. Don’t you forget the legion that we were told when we were young? Here’s living proof of it and you just want me to let it near you.”

Twilight let out a sound of aggravation and started pacing around the room. “It was just a story told to us when we were fillies to scare us Storm. Just because he happens to look like the monster in the story doesn’t make him it.”

Storm gaped at twilight in disbelieve. “Are you kidding me? That ‘story’ claimed that when that thing came to our world all the terrible things started to happen. The appearance of the Windigos, Lord Tirek trying to take all our magic the first time, corruption of King Sombra, disappearance of Starswirl the Bearded and soon afterwards the appearance of discord; how about Nightmare Moon. Every time something happened that thing was there. Sombra was friends with it and Starswirl disappeared when he was studying it. Even Princess Celestia thought it was so dangerous that she lock it in a cage under the city of Canterlot. Then you know what happens next…Nightmare moon appears. I heard that Luna was its most liked visitor. Luna spent hours in the same room with it after Celestia locked it up. Most of the guards that had to watch it would go insane just from hear it talking. Ever since it got locked up it would cause things to happen to try and escape. It’s even used our ancestors.”
Twilight shot Storm a pissed look and then kept pacing. Storm ignored her and continue ranting. “There were rumors that stated that the creature helped start the lunar Rebellion a hundred years after Nightmare moon’s banishment. The rumors go as far as saying that it was your ancestor Sunbeam Sparkle was tricked by the creature to help start the war. Then when the rebels used dark magic to make a Luna avatar and attacked Canterlot it used the attack to escape. Then it disappeared and was never seen from again. The only people to talk to the creature were hurt; all except Princess Celestia. Who’s to say that Guardian isn’t the creature coming back to finish off the Princess herself.”

“That’s enough Storm. It was just a story and I order you to drop the matter from now on.” Twilight ordered. Storm did as she was asked and wisely changed the subject.

“Our Heat Cycle is coming up soon. What are you doing to prepare for it?” She asked.

“I have made an arrangement with Doctor Whooves to help me with it this time.” Twilight said. “What about you?”

“Oh, I’m just going to spend the time working out…a lot.” Storm said. “The males in my squad are busy stocking up the safety vault for the Heat Cycle. They should be done before it starts and when it does they are going to lock themselves inside until it’s over.” Storm smirked.

“I doubt that would stop Fluttershy, but they can try to.” Twilight said sadly.

“I think it would be a good idea to tell Guardian about it before it’s too late to.” Storm said.

“No, I think I’ll keep him in the dark just in case I need a plan B.” Twilight said while smiling creepily. Storm just looked at her slightly scared then decided it would be a good idea to leave before twilight got her involved. On the way to the guard barracks she ran into Guardian and upheld her promise to twilight.

“I’m sorry for attacking you and treating you like an enemy.” She said to guardian.

He just nodded at her and made his way up to twilight’s room. Storm almost told him about the Heat Cycle but she decided not to. Twilight might be right; it would be good idea to have a plan B just in case. Then continued to the guard barracks with a smile on her face and a slight skip.

I got back from getting twilight and me breakfast and when I made my way to twilight’s room I ran into Storm. I was expecting her to start threatening me for a minute but was surprised when she apologized for attacking me and treating me like an enemy. All I could do was nod at her and then continued up to twilight’s room. When I made it to her room I just walked in. I really didn’t think I need to knock it wasn’t like she wears clothes and there wouldn’t be a chance she would be angry because technically she’s always naked. Strangely that thought didn’t bother me and I shook my head to clear it. I was getting too use to this place. Twilight was at her desk writing what look like notes. She most likely was writing down everything that happened yesterday and was preparing a report to the Princess. I walked up and place the bag with food next to her notes. I pulled out the pancakes I got for her and then pulled out a hay burger and hay fries. She looked at me confused.

“I thought you couldn’t eat hay burgers and fries?” She asked. I looked up at her and shrugged my shoulders.

“Never really know if I can unless I try. Salads and desserts can’t keep my alive long. If I can stomach this then I might get use to eating it.” Twilight turned and used her magic to levitate a piece of paper and quill.

“Ok, try it out and I’ll write down what you think of it.” She said going into twilight mode.

I shook my head and picked up the burger. I took a look at it closely. It was like a regular hamburger but instead of meat there was hay. I knew twilight wasn’t going to eat until I tried it so without a second thought I took a bite. I chewed slowly and tried to think of a word to describe how it tasted. It wasn’t bad but it was certainly different. After a minute of chewing I swallowed the bite. I looked at twilight and smiled.

“It wasn’t half bad and it seems like I can actually stomach this kind of food.” She started taking notes and eating at the same time. She finished eating first because I was took my time trying to get use to the new type of food. I was happy that I could enjoy the food that they made here but I was also worried a little that I could eat it. Humans shouldn’t be able to eat hay so easily but then again this world is unlike mine and maybe I’m adapting to survive. Wouldn’t be the first time I survived…

When Twilight stopped taking notes I decided to talk to her about going back into my head. “I think we should go back in head only when we both have the whole day off.” I told her.

“I think that’s a good idea. The last thing we need is someone to barge in on us and thing we died.” She said jokingly. I was going to say something back but remembered that I was supposed to go see Rarity about my clothes.

“I have to go. It’s Rarity’s day remember.” I said without any enthusiasm. Twilight looked crestfallen but didn’t try to stop me from leaving.

I left the castle and started walking through Ponyville toward Rarity’s boutique. As I walked I looked at everything around me. The village was small and I guessed that only hundred pony’s lived here. I might have my numbers off a little but it was clear that this place was small and I liked it because it was small. I never like large cities. They always have lots of people and I didn’t like being surrounded by large crowds. When I passed pony’s they would stop and stare at me. I was uncomfortable at first but realized that it was going to happen until they got used to me being here. They stared at me and I stared at them. I’ll stop staring one day and so would they. I reached the boutique and knocked on the front door. It took me a minute to realize it was a store. I opened the door and walked in. There were pony mannequins all around the room. In one corner there was a changing room and right by the door was a table with pictures on it. Some of the pictures were elegant drawings of dress designs and others were drawings made by a child. I could hear somepony moving upstairs and after a few seconds Rarity came downstairs. She come to me slightly out of breath. Her mane was ragged and it looked like she was tired.

“Are you ok, Rarity?” I asked concerned by her appearance.

“I’m fine dear just a little…hot.” She said slightly distracted. “Why don’t we get started?”

She had me start with my shirt. I took it off and handed to her and then sat down on one of the seats at the table. She took the shirt in her hooves and started to examine every detail.

“Is it made of cotton?” She asked. I nodded and she started to look a little worried.

“Cottons hard to come by. It’s even harder to work with.” She said.

“I can used the clothes I have now until you can get what you need to make it.” I said helpfully. She shook her head.

“I couldn’t let you do that. It would be wrong if I didn’t make you something new to wear. I do know some ponies that can use cotton and they do own me a favor.” Just then a door opened and Doctor Whooves walked inside.

“Hello Rarity, do you have my new bow tie ready for me?” The Doctor asked. Rarity put my shirt down on the table and started going up stairs.

“I have it in my room if you want to you can go get it. Just let me show you were my room is. She said strangely. Doctor followed Rarity upstairs and I sat in the chair waiting for them to get back. After a minute I heard something falling down the stairs. I got up and walk to the foot of the stairs to see what it was and almost got ran over by a panicking Doctor.

“Move! I got to go. Whatever you do don’t go upstairs.” He shouted as he ran to the door. “I'll be right back.”

“Where are you going?” I asked him.

“I’m going to catch a cold!” He shouted before opening the front door and leaving. I second later he walked back into the shop. He pulled out his sonic screwdriver and put it in his mouth. At that moment Rarity came back downstairs looking slightly dazed.
“Sorry about that Doctor. I lost myself a little.” She said. I looked at the doctor confused.

“What’s going on?” I asked. He looked at me like I lost my mind.

“Don’t you know about the Heat Cycle coming up? I’m prepping my TARDIS so that all the males in this crazy town can go inside and stay safe.” He told me like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

“What is a Heat Cycle?” I asked. Doctor looked at me strangely and then started scanning me with is screwdriver.

“That’s odd,” his said seriously. “You’re readings are different. My screwdriver it can’t identify what you are. It always tells me what things are.”

“I’m a human. Your screwdriver probably can’t read me because I don’t belong here.” I said plainly.

“No that’s not it… anyway a Heat Cycle is a time when mares want stallions to mount them till they drop off their feet in exhaustion. You might want to find me when it starts. You might be fine unless Fluttershy finds you then you’re a goner.” The Doctor explained while continuing to scan me.

“Come on how bad can Fluttershy be in heat?” I asked laughing a little at the thought.

“Says the guy who lost a drinking game to her.” Rarity said. I frowned and shut my mouth. The doctor turned to leave again but before he left he looked at me and said,“When the Heat Cycle starts come and find me.”

After he walked out the door I turned to Rarity and find her looking at my shirt again. She took a piece of paper and started drawing a design on it. Within minutes she had drawn a complete copy of my shirt. She turned back to me and said,
“Now I need your pants.”

I looked at her a little scared but did as she asked. I handed her my pants and she made a perfect copy of them too. I was expecting her to hand my clothes back to me but she started moving back upstairs to her room and told me to stay where I was. So, I spent the whole morning sitting in a chair wearing nothing but a pair of boxer shorts. Around noon she came back downstairs and invited me to have some lunch.

“So, what are you doing?” I asked her as she made us sandwiches and tea. She finished making the food and drinks and started talking about the complexity of clothes making. I tried my best to follow along but most of it came out as nonsense to me. Then she changed the subject and started to tell me about herself. Most of the things she said was something I already know about her. I always said that she happened to be my least favorite character. I didn’t like her simply because she acted a little snobby and high class in the show but now that I got to sit down and really talk to her I realized she wasn’t as bad as I thought. After lunch she went back upstairs saying something about counting the stitch count. After a few hours of sitting I heard the front door open. I looked up and saw a tiny white unicorn filly walking in.She looked to be around ten by my guess. Her mane was a mixture of pink and light purple. She walked into the room and took off her saddle back then turn to me. For a few seconds she stood there just staring at me. Next thing I know she’s in my face bombing me with questions.

“Who are you? What are you? Why are you here? Want to be friends? I’m Sweetie Belle by the way.” She said all in one breathe. I stared at her trying to wrap my head around what just happened. She sat there looking at me and waiting for me to answer her questions.

“I’m Guardian, I’m a human and your sister is looking at my clothes to see if she can make more of them. Do you want me to be friends with you?” I said. She looked at me up and down and frowned.

“Where’s your cutie mark?” She asked while trying to find one on my body.

“I don’t have one.” I said. She started jumping all over the room and shouting at the same.

“You don’t have a cutie mark ether that means you like me and my friends. You can be a Cutie Mark Crusader too! You can come hang out with us and try to get a cutie mark like us.”

“I can’t get a cutie mark.” I told her. She stopped in her tracks and looked at me sadly.

“Why not?” She asked.

“Because my species don’t get cutie marks.” I told her.

“Then how do you find out what you’re special talent is?” She asked.

“Well we usually do things until we find something we are good at and like doing. Sometimes humans know instinctively what their special talent is.” I explained. She hoof on her chin and started thinking about something then her face lit up.

“Well maybe now that you’re here you can get a cutie mark and I want to help you. Would you please hang out with me and my friends and help us get cutie marks.” She sat in front of me with giant puppy dog eyes. I couldn’t resist those green eyes.

“Sure I’ll help you and your friends but I can only do it when I’m not doing anything.” I said while smiling. I can’t fight something so cute. She started jumping up and down in excitement and then sitting down next to me and started drawing pictures. After a minute I started drawing a picture too just do something. The sun was starting to go down when rarity came downstairs. She was levitating my clothes and then handed them to me.

“I’ll be done with a new batch in a week or so. The clothes you have now should hold until then.” She said while eyeing them with disgust. I thanked her and then sweetie belle came up to her and showed her the picture she drew. I looked at it and then at mine and realized that her’s looked better than mine. I turned to leave but I was stopped by Sweetie Belle.

“You promised to come hang out with us.” She asked looking at me with the full force of her puppy dog eyes.

“I promise.” I said to her.
She shook her head and said,“You have to pinkie pie Promise or it won’t count.”

“Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.” I said covering my eye at the end. She smile and said goodbye and headed up stairs.

I got back to the castle and made me something to eat. I headed to the library and started looking at the books on the shelves. Twilight came inside and sat in one of the armchairs.

“So, you can pick out a book to read.” She said. I looked at her then at the books and ran my hand across the spines of the books. I stopped at one and pulled it out. The book was very thick and old. The title read: History of Equestria. I showed the book to twilight.

“I think I’ll start with this one.” I said.

She smiled and said,“Good choice.”

She got up and then headed for her room. I waited a few minutes after she left before putting the book back. I moved further down and climbed the ladder to grab a book that was on a higher shelve. Looking around the room again to make sure no one was there I took the book and headed to my room. Once I entered my room I closed the door and made sure I locked it. Then I laid the book on the desk and sat down. I opened the book and started reading it.
The title of the book was The Legion of the Sapien.

Author's Note

Done with this chapter finally. Again thanks to Chengar Qordath for letting me use his character. I do know that the story in this chapter does sound a lot like a couple fanfics but I am not actually using them. This was part of the original story I had in mind. I found out about the other stories later and was surprised, but I'm not changing mine. Honestly I doubt I could even if I wanted to. When I write stories I always have to work for the beginning and somehow I already know how to end it and the middle just comes to me as I type the chapters. This chapter and the one before it ended up a lot longer then I planned. So honesty I have no idea what's going to happen next. If you have a problem with it then just say something. If you like it so far then keep reading to see what happens next. Hint it's pinkie's day next... I think.
