Twilight jumped from the table and ran to us. "That's her Sombra!"

Sombra raised a brow. Her? She's the issue?

"YES THAT'S HER!" Twilight shouted, waking May up.

May looked around for a moment, then saw Twilight and panicked. "NO!!! NONONONON!!! PLEASE!"

I put may down and sat between them. "May, what's wrong?"

"YOU NAMED IT!?" Twilight cried again. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?!"

"TELL ME WHAT THE FUCK YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!" I barked, sounding much like my father. His voice when shouting could bring a man to tears if he had the time to bring the fool down. "NOW TWILIGHT SPARKLE!"

Twilight took a step back, her ears crossed back. "W-well, here-" A parchment flashed in front of me.

My friend and former student Twilight,
A week ago, Cerberus contacted me and informed me of a breakout of two unique souls. One is a soul of Xeris Arch and his daughter Corona Arch. They were last seen leaving the gates and are both extremely dangerous. If you find them, please contact me so I can fix this before both can cause more harm to Equestria.
Your Friend, Princess Celestia

I stopped reading the note, sitting down and taking a deep breath in. I closed my eyes, but all I saw was May or...Corona. I turned back to her. "M-..Corona....does that name mean anything to you?"

"No daddy..." I took a deep breath in.

Sombra looked to Twilight. I know a spell that will unlock her memories. Maybe if you'd unlock my magic, I could cast it.

"Will it hurt her?"

Only the memories would I'm afraid. It's a form of the fear spell I enchanted on some of the doors

Twilight suddenly looked interested in Sombra's offer. "Fine Sombra, but only if you tell me more of dark magic. Deal?"

I agree with those terms, Angel, please stand back. I froze, but nodded reluctantly. Backing away, I looked worrying at May.

"Daddy..." May started to tear up. "I'm afraid."

Good, fear is good. Sombra said before firing a bolt at May.

The first few seconds while the dark purple magic flew into May, it was quiet, then she started screaming. "NO! NO!!!! NO! DADDY NO!!!!! I DON'T WANT TO HURT ANYMORE! NO MORE!!! PLEASE!!!!"

I jumped back over to May, holding her in a tight grasp. "May! Calm down...sshhh...."

She pushed me away with her wings that slowly changed into leather wings. The feathers fell onto the ground and turned into a black dust. "NO!!!! NO MORE!!!! NO MORE PONIES DADDY!!! NO!!! STOP!!!" She fell back, her whole body started to change now. Her silver fur started to have cracks of red lines that looked like flowing lava. Her eyes became solid amber orbs and two short horns grew from her head. "NO! MORE PONIES!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I tried holding her, but her whole body was burning hot. I said fuck it to myself and held her. I felt a burning sensation on my fur then skin. "FUCK!" I grunted angerly. "MAY I'M HERE! DADDY'S HERE!"

Her body cooled a little and her tears began to sizzle on the touch. "Daddy...I don't want to hurt ponies anymore...I don't want to see that mean pony anymore...please..."

I rubbed my hoof through her burning dark blue mane which felt like fire. "You remember now?"

She nodded and pulled me closer to her. "I...I do...I don't want to be Corona..." May said, crying her eyes out. "My dad made me hurt ponies. I was young a-and...h-he raped me if I didn't."

The buck?! Even Sombra, Lord of Darkness, looked disgusted. WHAT STALLION RAPES HIS OWN!?!

Twilight's eyes were as wide as the world at this point. "W-what?"

"W-when...I-I didn't do good enough...H-he...r-raped me and...t-to-ld me t-to do it better..." She cried harder. "I don't want to be around him anymore! DADDY PLEASE SAVE ME!"

I looked to Twilight, anger burning in my eyes like a burning star. ready to blow. "You will not hurt her, or lay a hoof on her...." I stood up with May back on my back, her body still in it's demonic looking form. Then I walked over to the table, away from Twilight and Sombra. "I'm hungry Twilight, I bet my daughter is too."

Sombra raised a brow and smirked. So she's a Do'Poni?

"She could be lying though! She could be a Ra'Poni!"

He shook his head and laughed. Even I, who can't use more than a simple spell like that, knows that she isn't lying. I know what it is like in Tartarus. I am a Ra'Poni Twilight, she is a Do'Poni.

"Can you two explain?"

Twilight nodded. "A Do'Poni is a demon who's escaped from Tartarus. The 'Do' part comes from the region of Tartarus where evil souls come from. They are often those who've committed crimes that the normal Equestrian Justice System can't take care of go. I read up on their crimes, Xeris and Corona from three hundred and sixty-five years ago today. Six dozen counts of murder, a dozen counts of robbery...ten break-ins."

"HE MADE ME DO IT!" May cried. "I kept telling him it was bad! I never even found my mark yet! PLEASE! I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK TO HIM! HE'LL KEEP RAPING ME! AND RAPING ME! EVERYDAY! NON-STOP!" She thrashed her head about. "NOT GOOD ENOUGH! NOT GOOD ENOUGH NONONONONONONOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO MUCH PAIN! THOSE POOR PONIES!!!! NO MORE! HE ALWAYS HIT ME! NOT GOOD ENOUGH CORONA!! YOUR MOTHER DIED BECAUSE OF YOU CORONA!!!"

I had to stop her. I pulled her close and began rubbing her. She got hotter again, but was started to cool back down. At least her fur was growing back from the cracks. "May, it's okay...You don't have to see him anymore."

Sombra shook his head. No, because she's here in the castle, a protected area, her father won't enter. But as soon as she leaves, he'll find her. This whole place is a large vale over her. A shield if you will.

Twilight didn't like that idea, an angry look spread across her face. "I cannot allow that." When she said those four words, I nearly saw nothing but the color red. Like this, instinct inside of me. I couldn't let this filly back to her father, dead or not. "And I will contact Celestia."

"Tell her everything." I said, my voice sounding rasp beyond normal. I felt this hunger deep down, I didn't know what it was for though. "Tell her everything Twilight, and I meaneverything. Am I clear?"

Twilight nodded. "Of course, I never lie to Celestia to begin with. And..." She closed her eyes and inhaled deeply. "I will allow her to stay until you leave, but protecting her from her father will be your call. Most likely he is a Do'Poni much like Corona in disguise."

"Her name is May..."

"YEAH! MAY! MAY!" May agreed, hitting the table. Her whole shape looked normal again except her wings which still remained leather. Oh and her eyes were now much like my own, cat-like. I laughed a little at her attitude, then I noticed something odd. I can't think of why I didn't think of it before while I was defending May.

"Twilight?" I asked and she looked my way with a soft look. "May said she was playing with angels before she saw her father at the gates. What does that mean?"

"Well, I don't exactly know." She answered.

"Sombra?"

Angels are a myth here, if they are what I think they are, Cor-May was an angel. He tapped his chin and hummed in thought. But how is she a Do'Poni?

"Sin is sin." I replied, remembering a friend from my early childhood. His name was Lenard. He was one of those 'Bible Thumpers' you'd find in America. His parents moved from America and he was born in Ireland. However, he was very different. He pushed for me to strive where ever my beliefs lay. I had quoted him when I said sin was sin, because he said that whatever darkness is, it is sin. If I was to practice the dark arts rather than the gray or white arts, he wouldn't be so open minded. "Maybe she did something."

"I killed a bully from my time." She smiled. "I enjoyed it." We all look at her, completely shocked.

"While I do dislike bullies May, you will not harm anyone anymore. Am I understood?" I believe I am starting to sound like my father. I shuddered internally at the thought. I wouldn't be like him ever.

"Yes daddy!" She beamed a smile at me. "I know! If I want to play with the angels again, I got to be super good!"

"As long as you don't do anything wrong, I won't be mad at you." She nodded and found a dish of salad in front of her. I could have sworn I heard a vacuum when May opened her mouth. I could hear Sombra snort and laugh, and Spike smiled.

"I like her!" Spike laughed.

In all my years, I have never met even a dragon inhale their food. He shook his head and laughed.

I blinked, trying to take in the void that must have been in May. "What?" She asked. "I haven't eaten in three hundred years! Summerlands are great, but you don't eat because you don't notice it!"

I laughed, remembering a movie that had someone from heaven say those same words. Was it Dogma? I don't remember if it was, but it was still an amazing Jay and Silent Bob movie like Clerks II. I know they were stupid Americans doing stupid shit, but my favorite character was Bob. He hardly said anything, maybe a line or even two words at least, unlike Jay who was a jackass.

Anyways, dinner went by quickly and we all retired to our rooms. I promised May that she could sleep with me in case she had any nightmares. Children who suffer from PTSD are the worst to be infected with the disorder. I often helped my mom dealing with kids who were troubled in some way. When she wasn't working as a Special Education teacher, she worked as a social worker. She loved helping children and those in need, I guessed it rubbed off on me. Not that I didn't mind, kindness repays itself like my mother always said with a soft smile and easy blue eyes.

I put May in between my arms, and thought of Luna. While I waited for Luna to send a letter to Twilight, she taught me how to push my dreams in the right direction. Yet, I was still unable to enter her constructed dream plane to join her and her friends. I hoped I could soon, I wanted to see them all. I already knew a few of them, but the rest were still a mystery. But while I lay with May in my arms, I felt her grow warm, a welcoming warm, not the burning warm.

"I trust you daddy..." She whispered, turning her head and moving her eyes to gaze up at me. "I don't know why, but I guess that's why angels are so sweet."

"And I'm an angel?"

May nodded and turned her head back. "Yep, my angel...my Guardian Angel." Somehow I could tell she capitalized the G in guardian.

I couldn't help but smile. "Alright, go to sleep now May." I felt her nod and we both closed our eyes.

"I love you......daddy."

I squeezed her tight. "Me too May."

As I drifted off to sleep with May in my arms, I somehow felt whole in that moment. Just like with Luna, I felt like I had gained another charge to look after, to take care for. Why was I doing this? I never felt like I had to protect anyone before, but ever since I moved to Equestria, I felt like I had to do this. Like, it was a calling, an instinct of sorts.

Slowly, the void of my own dreams started to fill my head. There wasn't anything there for a few moments, which was a little worrying because I was still focused on trying to connect to Luna. So I opted to wait in a dream I knew I could find easily, one that I could control. It was the green field with the apple tree and small stream. The sky was dark like tonight's and now Luna was in my arms once again. I smiled, and continued to think of her, my love.

I loved Luna, I do not think there are words that could actually explain how I think of her. She was funny in her own way, smart beyond what most think, and like me, adores the night sky. The dream were both of us lay in the grass as either ponies or humans gave me much needed comfort while I was away from her. Like Luna had said, dreams are ways everypony can connect

"Daddy?" I heard May's voice ask. "Can I join?"

"Angel? Who's that?"

I see Luna standing up, I am glad she had found me. "A little filly who's in need Luna. She was forced from her rest in the Summerlands."

"So you're Corona Arch?" Luna asked. "Let me see thee...you."

May's form walked in from a gathering fog near the stream. However, this time she was different. A halo over her head and a set of beautiful wings were on her back. She was also much taller, as though she had grown up more, mid-teens by the looks of it. Her eyes were also different, two white orbs that had a pupil in it. The only way you could see her irises is with the black lines. Her mane was longer but still dark blue.

"Hello." She bowed to princess Luna. "You're Nightmare Moon?"

"Not any longer. My name is Luna now." She held out her hoof and smiled. "You're a beautiful mare Corona."

"Not any longer Luna, my name is May, thanks to daddy." She smiled at me. "I like that name, much better than that filly who hurt ponies so much."

"Yes, Tia and I have spoken about you and your father. Yet, how come you went to the Summerlands?"

"Her father made her do it all Luna." I explained her all the details that I knew and told her of her past those years ago. When I had gotten to the rape part, the dream had a ripple, but I was glad it didn't break. "I know, I know... I know Luna...Even Sombra was disgusted."

Luna raised a brow. "He's bedded many mares, raped most...I am surprised."

"He said no stallion would rape his own daughter."

"I agree, so...May what happened? Why are you back in Equestria."

May explained all she could. From playing with angels to the flash were her father forced her through the gates. I knew Tartarus had two planes, or two levels. The upper levels were for mortals who served their lives with no masterful or true sins while the lower levels were hell to those who were to be punished for their crimes in life. What may have been the case is that May was pulled from the Summerlands because her father Xeris had more pull or power over her than anyone had thought. I remember watching a TV show about how ghosts tend to act when around family members who died with them. If they are not ready to pass on while the others want to, then they will become violent in order to keep them there. Come to think of it, Equestria in whole was like a TV show.

Luna tapped her chin in thought then smiled. "Well then, come, lay with us." I was glad she was okay now. I was worried that she would do something unexpected to May.

"Thank you princess." May gave a bow and moved in between Luna's arms while both were under my arms.

And...I shed a tear, I don't know why, but I did and the smile that came with it, I didn't know why either. It all just felt so......right....
