I woke up to the feeling of stuff on top of me. I carefully started to stand up and move the wooden mass off of me. I carefully stood up and looked around to see chunks of wood, and...a mattress the seemed to have been blown up? What happened here?

I carefully knocked off the bigger pieces of wood still leaning against me, and looked around for a way out, to see a door as it started to open. When it opened I saw a dragon about the same age as Spike, but this dragon had wings, and was blue, and had red spiked spines. The moment he saw me his eyes seemed to go wide, before he growled with flames flowing through his teeth.

I quickly jump up and waved my forelegs. “Wait, wait! I ca-“ I saw him breath a fireball at me which made me move my wings to block it. I flapped my wings open to destroy the fireball to see the dragon look shocked as he bared his claws and fly at me.

I jumped to the side as he flew past me, and I tripped over a piece of, what I could only guess was a beds foot or headboard, into a sitting position leaning back against a pile of wood, and cushions. I saw him fly at me again and I raised my hooves up like a shield just to feel something poke my forelegs.

“Alright, that is ENOUGH!” I snapped my eyes open and looked over to see a red unicorn. I lowered my hooves to see the dragon straining to send his claw at me, as a piece of wood had fallen on him. I rolled aside and jumped up, hurrying over to the dragon getting the piece of wood off of him. “I don’t know who you are, but you better start explaining or I’m calling the Royal Guard.”

I looked at the unicorn and stepped back. “W-wait! My name is Blazing Feathers…but I prefer just Blaze…” I rubbed my right temple as my head started aching. “I can explain everything, and to start out, I didn’t break in! but the rest…is kind of a long story…

I heard the unicorn huff, as I looked at him to see him glaring. “I have a LOT of time…”

Can I tell him? Sure I was able to tell Daniel, and the girls from the other equestrian…but, Daniel being there was already a tear in space-time…I have to be careful...I…I gotta find Twilight. I just sighed and lowered my head. “…I need to get to Ponyville and find Twilight…she is the only one who can find me the help I need.”

I saw the unicorn stare at me. “you are already in Ponyville…in fact…you ARE in the library. Come upstairs, right now, and I will call Twilight down, and we can get to the bottom of this.” I followed the unicorn upstairs as the blue dragon was picking splinters and wood chips from between his scales, which I apologized about being the cause of. We reached the library area as I felt a sudden lack of weight on my neck. “hey Twilight, can you come down here?”

I heard a familiar voice come from upstairs. “One second, Alex.”

I went to check that I had my pendant, to feel it was missing. I turned and headed back to the door to the stairs, and hurried down. I could hear this ‘Alex’ yell back at me. “Hey, STOP!” I hurried downstairs, past the blue dragon, and started digging where I woke up.

I was grabbing pieces of wood, and fabrics moving them aside frantically. “Please be here, PLEASE! I can’t lose it!” I moved a chunk of wood to see a gold chain, and grab it with my mouth pulling the pendant out and held it in my hooves, sighing in relief. “Oh thank god…I don’t know WHAT I would do if I lost this…”

I heard hoofsteps behind me, and looked back to see Alex and…Trixie?! she saw my pendant as she glared at me, and started pulling my pendant with her magic. “HEY, GIVE THAT BACK!” I couldn’t help but have bare my teeth, in anger as I felt my body heating up, and the heat flowing into my wings. No…I can’t do that here….not now…

Trixie floated the pendant to Alex as he looked at it, studying the six gems around the big onyx gem. “this is a pendant, they’re very common in…” I saw him blink with a confused expression, but he shook his head, like he was tossing away some kind of thought he had. “never mind.” He tossed it in my direction as I caught it, and slipped it back on. “alright Blaze, back upstairs…now…” I nodded and went back upstairs as he seemed surprised. Maybe that I was doing as he said? Who knows.

As I was passing Trixie, I couldn’t help but mutter to myself in such a low tone nopony could hear me. “I bucking swear if she touches my pendant again, I will do such terrible things to her, that she would WISH she was nabbed by that Ursa Minor back then…” We reached the top of the stairs and I looked back at Alex. “Sorry about that…I just had to find my pendant…I’m going to need it here…” I saw him look at me confused. “I…I’ll explain later…asking Twilight for some help takes priority right now…to me anyway…”

I walked into the main area of the library and heard hoofsteps coming down the stairs. I wanted to look up, but I couldn’t…just knowing who it was…it hurt…and knowing she will look the same, would make it worse. I heard Trixie whisper something behind me, most likely to that red unicorn. Not long after I heard the door open then close, so I guess she left to do something….maybe to embarrass more ponies no doubt…bucking bitch…

I heard her hoofsteps stop. “Oh, hello. Are you here to get a book from the library?” I gulped nervously and looked at Twilight, who looked at me with a smile, and…her mane is cut short? But, I still feel a wrenching pain in my chest…

“No…I actually need your help Twilight...I need you to tell Celestia there is a huge problem…that probably only she can help with…” I saw her look at me with wide eyes.

“What problem?! What’s happening?!” she got up close to me, with a look of worry. “Please tell me what’s wrong!”

I took a few steps back and looked to the side and down as my mane blocked her from my vision. “Just tell her the Eclipse Knight knight-commander requests her presence…as soon as she possibly can….”

“A knight?! But…that can’t be possible…” I saw some book float by as Alex was looking between me and Twilight.

Alex seemed to walk over to Twilight. “Twilight, how do we know he is being honest? He could be planning to hurt Celestia…he may be a threat to Equestria! Even if…she is a powerful Alicorn…”

“You want proof I’m being honest…? Gather the rest of the girls…Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie, all of them…” I sat there and looked at them. “Twilight…please….send the letter to Celestia….and once the others are here…I will explain what I can…I promise….” I looked at Twilight, and slid my hoof in an X across my chest, raised my hoof up and outward, then pressed it against my closed eye.

Twilight blinked in surprise and nodded. “Spike! Emergency letter to Celestia!” I saw her run up the stairs, before Alex walked up to me.

“Alright, who are you…? How did you get in my room?” I looked at Alex and sighed.

I walked over to the couch and sat on it grabbing my pendant opening it looking at the picture of me and the girls. “I will answer any question I can, once the others are here….and I know you’re here Pinkie, come on out…” I opened my right wing as Pinkie slipped out from between my feathers which made me shudder. “Still feels as weird as last time…”

Pinkie groaned sadly and looked at me. “Aww, how did you know?!”

I could hear Alex step back, as I looked up at him as he looked surprised. “how do you keep coming out of nowhere?!” his facial expression was just a perfect mix of shock and surprise.

I looked at Pinkie, and chuckled. “Because you are a now slightly predictably random pony that I STILL believe is actually a unicorn…where your horn…” I poked her forehead. “Grew INTO your skull…and the magic you constantly send through is why you have so much energy, and why you eat so many sweets…for the energy you constantly use, and you need to keep that up to keep moving….”

I saw Pinkie smile widely; while Alex glared at me...did i do something wrong? “OOOOH!!! How did you come up with that theory?!”

“Oh…how? Well…you jump out of where you should never have gotten into…like a tankard, or my wing…my wing is a REALLY good example in fact…and you hop, and bounce, and talk at Mach 5 ALL the time” I chuckled and smiled a bit as I looked at my pendant mainly at the 6 small gems circling the big onyx. “I still remember when you first came out of my wing…I screamed like a filly…” I tensed up and felt my face heat up. “BECAUSE IT FELT WEIRD, AND YOU FREAKED ME OUT!” I facehoofed and groaned. “Buck my life straight to Tartarus…I said too much….”

I saw Spike run down the stairs and look at me for a second, before leaving the library. Maybe he is going to get the rest of the girls. About half a minute later, I heard the door open and looked over to see…Trixie again… “I’m back!” she looked at me as she walked over to Alex’s side as a few bags floated into the kitchen.

I got up and jumped off the couch and looked at Alex. “I am going outside…and flying up to the nearest cloud…when the rest get here, tell Dash or Fluttershy to come get me…”

I left the library going past Trixie quickly as I heard Alex telling me to ‘wait’ or something, but I ignored him as I flew up, to the nearest cloud and landed on it laying down. I reached under my wing making a small ear bud slip out and slipped it into my ear. It's amazing how this pink fleshy part under my hoof can grab things so well...what was it called…? the...'frog'? Weird...whatever. I then used my wing to make the music on my iPhone to play music as I closed my eyes listening to “Shadows” by Red, mouthing the words.

After the song ended I felt something shake me, which I opened an eye to look at Dash. “Hey, are you Blaze?” I nodded and flicked my wing making the ear-bud slip out and got it back into wing as I was standing up.

I flicked my wings to get out the tingling sensation from inside them, and heard a silent voice to my right, which definitely belonged to Fluttershy. “Everypony else is waiting in the library…and we were told to come and get you...if it’s ok with you that is…”

I nodded and walked to the clouds edge. “It’s fine…I asked them to have one of you come get me…I didn’t expect you both, but its fine. It works either way. I will meet you two down there.” I saw them look at me confused as I stepped off the cloud diving towards the ground, just wanting to show off to Dash.

I could hear Fluttershy gasp, and Dash yelled at me, but I couldn’t hear what. I felt my ears bend back and snapped my wings open pulling up as I flew along the ground and turned them so they would work as air brakes as I set my hooves on the ground sliding to a stop. I completely stopped at the Libraries door, as I heard hooves landing behind me.

I opened the door with Fluttershy flying in behind, as Dash entered the Library right next to me. “That was the craziest, yet COOLEST thing I have ever seen another pegasus do, that WASN’T ME!”

I just chuckled from how much she was like my Dash. “Well…I just wanted to show off a bit.” I looked at Dash. “And hearing that phrase from the FASTEST flier in Equestria is definitely nice to hear.”

I heard Dash chuckle before she put her hoof to her chest smiling. “Heard of me, huh? Can’t say I’m surprised.”

I just rolled my eyes and walked to the table that everypony was stationed around, sitting where I was to the left of Fluttershy. I heard Dash moved to my left and looked over to see her sitting there. As I looked around from left to right, I saw Dash, Pinkie, AJ, Twilight, Alex, Trixie, the blue dragon, Spike, Rarity, and Fluttershy. I took a deep breath and sighed, knowing how hard this was going to be…especially on an emotional scale…

I looked at Trixie and the young dragons. “could you three let me speak to the others alone…? I don’t mean to sound rude…especially not to you Spike…but this is really important…” I saw Spike looking at me with surprise, as the blue dragon and Trixie seemed to look at Alex who nodded, before they all got up and walked into the kitchen. “Twilight…could you use a soundproof spell please….?” I looked at her to see her nod.

Twilight’s horn started to glow with her magical aura as the walls and doorways had an ethereal purple veil form over it. “alright…now would you please tell us who you are, and why you seem to talk to us like we should know each other.”

I gulped and looked at my pendant placing my hoof on it. “I will explain everything I can…but first…” I looked at all of them. “I need you all…to PINKIE promise…you will never tell another soul about what is said here…” I saw all of them except Twilight, Pinkie, and Alex look shocked, but Pinkie just seemed to be smiling and slightly bouncing.

I saw all of them make the motions as they spoke in unison. “cross our hearts, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in our eye.”

I nodded and looked down a bit. “thank you…now…none of you need to introduce yourselves…cause I know all of you…well…almost all of you…the only ones here I know nothing about is Alex, and that blue dragon…” I cleared my throat and looked at the table. “my name is Blazing Feathers…but I prefer to be called Blaze…and…let’s just say I…I’m not your normal pegasus…”

I looked at Alex as he spoke. “how are you…not a normal pegasus?”

I looked at my right wing extending it straight up as the red feathers lit up with fire, that engulfed my entire wing. “this is why…” I heard some sliding sounds, as I made my wings flames go out, folding it to my side, and looked to see Dash and Fluttershy had moved away looking slightly freaked out. “and I can use a magic…that is borderline dark magic…”

I heard Fluttershy’s voice filled with fright, as she backed away from me more. “s-so…y-you’re evil…?”

I looked at her and shook my head calmly, even if it hurt to hear her voice say I was evil, I kept myself calm. “no…I’m not evil Fluttershy…I…” I clicked open my pendant a little making my knight medallion slip out and placed it on the table as Twilight’s eyes went wide and looked at it closely. “I wouldn’t have been knighted if I was evil…”

Twilight floated the medallion to her examining it closely as Rarity looked at me blinking. “you are a knight?!” I nodded. “OH! A TRUE KNIGHT! Do you have a suit of armor that you wear?!”

I scratched my head. “yes I do, but it wasn’t given to me…the pendant I’m wearing was given to me and I had these gems in a strongbox I had that had a bottomless space enchantment…and they just flew onto the pendant and became a part of it…” I looked at my pendant as I moved it around as the light made the gems have a slight glow. “after that it became a chest plate, a helmet, leg-guards, and hoof shoes. Not very useful for combat…but it looked sturdy enough to protect what it covered, while looking basic enough to be worn to special events.”

I heard some hoofsteps that stopped to my left. I looked over to see Rarity inspecting my pendant. “is it weird…that I feel a connection to the white gem?” I looked at the white gem in confusion.

Do these gems connect to the girls, no matter what dimension? I cleared my throat, which made them all look at me. “I should probably explain that, while answering Twilight’s second question about how I seem to know you all…” I sighed and placed my hoof on my temple. “where should I start…?”

I heard Alex clear his throat. “how about you start at the beginning…?”

I nodded. “I was practicing with my magic in the Everfree forest, and I guess I lost too much blood…because I passed out. When I woke up…I thought I was going to be able to head back, and relax with my marefriend…but…I wasn’t in my Equestria…” I then described about how I got the help of Celestia to be sent back to my Equestria but… ”Then I woke up downstairs…under that pile of wood, and cushions…which if all that stuff is broken because of me…I am SOOOOOO sorry!”

I saw Alex look at Pinkie who smiled nervously. “it wasn’t your fault Blaze…” he looked at me as I sighed in relief. “although you did make the mess bigger, but that isn’t really a big deal. it still has to be replaced, whether you had appeared or not.” I could see him shake his head as his voice became lower, but I could barely hear him. “so the Gospel's multiverse theory is true…”

I was going to ask what this 'Gospel" was but I heard a knocking at the front door, and looked back as Twilight dropped the soundproof spell heading over to the door. She opened the door and I saw Celestia and Luna enter with some weird ball of light. “W-WHAT IN THE HELL IS THAT THING?!” oh buck, Celestia plans on probably sealing me inside the sun! I can’t die here!

The ball of light floated over to me, and around me, as I watched it closely. “Greetings, I am The Gospel, and you are...unusual...you have great power in you...yet...you fear it...interesting.”

I blinked, unsure of what to say. "I'm not scared of my power...I am scared of what it COULD do..." The Gospel seemed to float around me, so I looked at the table and saw my knight’s medallion picking it up, as I opened my pendant setting it inside. Before closing it I looked at the picture of me and the girls, where Twilight was leaning her head on my shoulder, with my wing over her, Dash was on the other side with that cocky smirk of hers, Pinkie was on top of my head, standing on it, which it was funny how light she was, and AJ, Rarity, and Fluttershy were around me. I just smiled a bit and closed the pendant, letting it hang on my neck once more.

I felt a hoof on my shoulder hearing Celestia’s voice. “Pardon me…but are you ok?”

I lifted my head and looked around to see everypony staring at me. I could see concern, confusion, and Alex's angry glare. “s-sorry, I just…” I cleared my throat ”n-never mind, it doesn’t matter!” I looked at Celestia, giving her a bow of my head. “it’s nice to see you Princess Celestia.” I gave a bow of my head to Luna as well. “and you as well, Princess Luna…”

Celestia and Luna nodded as Celestia walked around the table, watching me. “I got the most…unusual letter, that said ‘the Eclipse Knight-Commander requested to speak with me…but yet me, nor Luna have knighted a pony since before…” I saw it was hard for her to even talk about.

I cleared my throat making Celestia look at me. “I know…you don’t need to speak about it…” I saw Celestia smile a bit, as she looked relieved.

“I’m sorry, but I’m a bit lost here…what is an Eclipse Knight…” I looked over at Alex as he seemed to be confused on the subject.

Gospel floated over the table, and ‘faced’(?) Alex. “the Eclipse Knights are an order of Knights of Equestria that ordered themselves, and assisted the princesses, the king, and queen with whatever they requested.” I blinked and looked at the Gospel. “I had believed they had disbanded or died long ago, and had been forgotten in the passing of time.”

I cleared my throat, making everypony look at me. “I have no idea about any of THAT, but when I was knighted, I was given the option of naming the new order…and considering that I would follow orders from the princesses of the sun and moon only….it seemed fitting it was known as 'The Eclipse Knights' since an eclipse is when the sun and moon share the sky at the same point in time…” I blinked and looked at Celestia bowing my head. “I’m sorry princess, I didn’t mean for this to interrupt you.” I lifted my head and gestured my hoof to the solar princess. “please continue…”

She smiled, with a nod. ”It’s quite alright.” Her smile quickly dropped as she seemed to be examining me. “it seemed odd that a knight would request me and my sister…considering the circumstances. could you explain this to us?”

I gulped nervously and looked down. “I uhh…I’m not from here…in more ways than one…until a year ago…or almost a year ago…I lived as a human…” I looked up to see everypony looking back and forth between me and Alex as he just stared at me with a glare that just RADIATED anger. “uhhh….I think I’m missing something…” I looked at Alex as he was staring at me., and I could see Twilight renew the soundproof spell around the room. “I…can show you if you want me to…” I saw a few nods, as others looked at me in shock. “alright.”

I backed up to have more open space and closed my eyes focusing. I felt heat spin around me in the air till it flashed to a high temperature for a moment and opened my eyes to see everything was shorter but I still felt my hooves. CRAP, IT DIDN’T WORK?! I then heard Luna giggle as I clearly heard her whisper loudly to Celestia. “he seems to have messed up sister, but he DOES make for a handsome Alicorn, don’t you agree?” I saw Celestia nod keeping a professional outlook, as I looked around to see everypony’s mouths were hanging in shock, except Fluttershy who seemed to slip behind her mane.

wait; did Luna say ‘handsome Alicorn’? I felt my face heat up as I looked at my hooves to see the white markings, and felt my head to find the two twisting horns. “great…just……grrrrrrrrrrreat…attempt number 2!” I closed my eyes focusing harder, and felt the heat, opening my eyes. I looked at my hands and body, to see I was wearing the black gilded jacket, black pants, and black combat boots like they were right off the anime ‘Sword Art Online’. “there we are! I STILL love this stuff I’m wearing!” I couldn’t help but smile and look at everypony crossing my arms as they stared in shock.

I saw Alex point at me shakily. “N-no way! How?! How did you learn to do that?!"

I let my arms fall to my side and looked away. “well…there was an…incident when I was getting my head straight in Canterlot…which made my stay from the original plan of…3 or 4 days….to practically…2 months…in a coma.” I placed two fingers on my neck and pulled it away as a small amount bright pink mist seemed to come out with my fingers and linger for a few seconds. “Luna came by…and scared the changeling off…especially before she abducted me…I guess I absorbed some of her magic…”

I saw Alex write something and gave it to Twilight. she looked at it, and nodded before facing me. “alright, can you tell me what planet you are from then?

I felt confused as to why she asked the question like THAT, but I ignored it. I didn’t expect me and Alex to speak the answer in unison. “Earth.” I stopped and looked at him in shock.

I turned back into a pegasus and looked at Alex. “how did you…wait….’Alex’…” I facehoofed and groaned. “oh, Celestia, I am an idiot…I knew I felt something odd about you, and now I understand why! You're a human too, aren’t you?!” he nodded. “so how did you get pulled into Equestria?”

Alex seemed like he was going to answer until Celestia cleared her throat making everypony look at her. “I’m sorry to interrupt, but you had Twilight summon me and my sister for something?”

“OH! RIGHT!” I walked up to Celestia and bowed my head. “sorry princess. I wanted to ask if you and Luna knew of a way to send me…back to my Equestria…” I heard complete silence, and slowly lifted my head to see Celestia and Luna with wide eyes. “is…something wrong?” I looked back at everypony else and saw them staring at me with shock, as the soundproof spells aura faded away.

“I’m sorry…” my ear twitched hearing Celestia, and that tone sounded so sad. I quickly faced her to see her looking away from me. “we have no knowledge of interdimensional spells…and me and my sister have learned almost every spell in our royal archives, AND the royal library. Ritualistic, powerful, even the almost uncastable…but none call for interdimensional capabilities…I am truly sorry Blaze…me and my sister must return to Canterlot though…and since Luna and I, whether it be from another dimension or here, have deemed you worthy of knighthood…we shall honor that here as well…” I saw Celestia and Luna walk past me as I stood there like a statue.

I could hear Celestia say something about ‘keeping an eye on me’ or whatever…to somepony behind me. after I heard the door close I let my head drop, as I felt a twisting, squeezing pain in my chest. I was happy…I found love…and now…it’s been taken away…and seeing these girls just makes it worse…

I felt a weight go over my shoulders as a body leaned on my right side. I looked to my left to see a cyan hoof. “c’mon Blaze, it’ll be ok…we got your back.”

I gently got her off me, and headed for the door. I grabbed the handle opening it, and spoke with no emotion. “I want to be alone for a little while…” I walked outside, and as soon as I heard the door close, I flew off as fast as I could. It wasn’t long till I landed at the Ponyville bar, heading inside, and sat at the counter near the bartender. “Strongest drink you got…and make it a double please...no ice.” It wasn’t long till I had a glass in front of me filled with a fizzing, white topped dark brown drink. Well…here goes my first time…getting drunk. CHEERS!

I grabbed the glass and tilted it back drinking a good amount in a single gulp before setting the glass down, coughing and slamming a hoof on the counter as the alcohol burned my throat. I looked over to see a few stallions, a mare, and the bartender staring at me. “what? Never saw somepony having their first strong drink…?” I turned back to my drink. “in fact, it’s my first time with serious alcohol…I didn’t expect that kind of burn…” I grabbed the drink and gulped down the rest, relishing in the burning sensation, setting the glass down. “keep‘em coming barkeep!” he filled the glass again.

I heard the door to the bar open, and hoofsteps leading up to the seat beside me. “trying to drink away your troubles, Blaze?” I looked over to see Alex sitting in the seat beside me.

I turned back to my drink. “why do you care? It’s not like you are going through what I am…” I took a big gulp of my drink, shaking my head from how strong it was.

“actually I do know what you are going through…” I looked at him without turning my head. “before all this, I was just a normal guy. A pretty…uneventful life. Enjoying time with my family and such…I didn’t have many friends, since I…wasn’t one to really talk to others. That is…until I was pulled into Equestria, and met the girls.”

I took a small gulp of my drink and sighed. “so how did you get into Equestria?”

I saw Alex scratch his head. “well…I got pulled into Equestria by the elements of harmony, because I am apparently the wielder of the seventh element.”

I was in the middle of a drink as he said that and set the glass down hard, almost spitting it out. I harshly gulped it down and looked at him. “the SEVENTH?! There are only six in my Equestria…”

“makes sense, since there are only six elements known, until recently. What about you? how were you pulled into Equestria?” I looked at Alex, and then drank the rest of my drink in the glass, seeing it was just a small sip left, setting it down making it tap on the counter twice.

The bartender soon came over and filled it up again, as I gulped down half the glass. “I wasn’t pulled into Equestria…I was hit by a semi-truck, and sent flying, and felt a sensation of going through glass. I blacked out on impact, and on instinct I used my body as a shield for my cat…but when I woke up I was in the Everfree, with my neck feeling stiff, covered in small cuts and scrapes, and a badly sprained ankle.” I took a quick gulp of my drink looking down. “I found a small cottage built into a tree on a hill, and called for help, as I collapsed…next I woke up in the hospital with Fluttershy tending to me…sure I reacted in shock, but it wasn’t long after I felt relieved to be away from Earth…away from that corrupted world…” I blinked and looked at Alex confused, as I felt the alcohol hitting, and felt myself getting buzzed. “wait, you said you couldn’t really talk to others, but you seem to be talking to me just fine.”

I heard Alex clear his throat, before he spoke. “right, I have Twilight and the others to thank for that…they all got through to me in time, Pinkie’s idea about closing my eyes was a stroke of genius on her part, and then as I got used to hearing their voices, it helped me talk to them with my eyes open, even if I still have a little trouble with it sometimes…I think the part with talking with you…is because I can sympathize with what you’re pretty much going through, and I want to help.”

I down the rest of my glass and put the glass down letting out a big burp, before chuckling as my voice was slurring. “dat sounds justsh like Punkie!” I slammed my head onto the counter hard. “so random, that she hash all dose crazy ideash.” I tapped my hoof on the counter twice as the barkeep looked at me and shook his head. “just one more…”

The barkeep sighed and filled the glass for the ‘last time’ as he said. After taking a sip of it, and everything started feeling…’funny’, I looked at Alex as he spoke. “yeah, I have been through a lot…coming here, adopting a filly, all those little things like Trixie’s visit, the Ursa, being possessed by Nightmare Moon, and…” I kept taking sips of my drink as he talked, as everything he explained just seemed to go in one ear, and out the other. “…but I know that my life in Equestria will never be dull…and I may go home one day, but I have a duty here for now…they need me, and I’m going to do what I can.” I notice Alex readjust himself in his seat from the corner of my peripheral. “And...you are too drunk to understand me, aren't you?”

I snirked and hit his shoulder as I teetered a bit from missing him, but then grabbed my drink chugging down my final glass. “duty…HA! That *hic* that is funny! *hic* you…are awesome…I may not know how to go back to my Equestria, but I know YOU can keep the girls away from me so I don’t feel the stro-*hic*-ong pain in my chest!” I went to place my hoof over Alex’s shoulder and fell off the seat hitting the ground hard. “heh…this cloud is harder than wood…”

I heard Alex sigh, and the sound of coins on the counter as I felt myself get lifted up and saw we were heading towards the door. “come on Blaze…we need to get you to the library to sleep this off, and sober up…” I heard Alex sigh, as I started to squirm on his back.

I started groaning and whining. “noooooo, I don’t want to go to the library, it’ll hurt too much!” I saw Alex ignoring me, and I started thrashing to get off his back as I started to get serious. “Alex, let me go! I’m serious!” I heard Alex groan, and felt myself slipping off. When I felt the ground, I quickly rolled and stood on my hooves. I slid on my hooves as Alex grabbed hold of me, dragging me along. “I said…let…me…GO!!!!” I stretched out my wings, as I felt myself get free from his hold, sending him away from me a decent distance. I stumbled back panting, and looked around to see it was night, and the few ponies still out were staring at me and Alex. I looked at Alex to see him slowly getting up, and I rushed over helping him. “I-I’m sorry…I just…I didn’t mean…” I held my head, feeling more along the lines of ‘sober’. “I’m sorry Alex, this whole thing has just been stressful…I mean, I found happiness in my Equestria…love…and now it’s gone…”

I heard Alex groan a bit, probably from the whole being sent flying away and from my wings knocking the air from him. “its fine…I understand where you’re coming from. Come on, we need to get back to the library, I gotta make sure Scootaloo gets some sleep and make sure she gets to school tomorrow.”

I looked at him confused. “Scootaloo? But she has her mother still doesn’t she?” I saw Alex shake his head. “so each Equestria CAN have differences…the Scootaloo in my world…her father went on some kind of…assignment, and he never came back…no idea on her mother though…anytime I hang with Dash, Scootaloo is there too.” I chuckled a bit as I thought about her. “I swear, she has been giving my fatherly instincts a kick start…and when Bloom, Sweetie, and her are together…it goes into overdrive, because I worry about them…it scares me, with the ideas they come up with…at least some things they have sense as saying ‘no’ to…I mean…hydra hunting?” I smiled a bit and looked at the ground as we walked, but my smile quickly fell as I talked quietly. “I miss them…”

For the next 30 minutes we walked, or more like I stumbled, back to the library in silence as I looked down at the ground. I really don't think I CAN stay in the library...physically I could, but mentally? I don't think I can...it would hurt too much, and I can't lose control of Rage here. If I do, I may do something terrible.

After a while I felt a hoof tap me, which made me look over at Alex. “You ok Blaze? I've been trying to get your attention for a while.”

I shook my head and looked ahead. “I'm fine…I just think it's best I don't stay in the library.”

I heard Alex’s hoofsteps stop. “What? why?” I looked at him to see him looking at me confused.

I stopped and looked at my pendant. “I just can't do it...being in the library...dear Celestia, just being AROUND the girl’s hurts...it...it hurts...because they MAY be the girls...but they aren't the ones I know…” I sat there holding the pendant. “They aren't...them…”

I heard Alex walk up to me. I then felt a hoof on my shoulder. “you say it hurts? How can it hurt? it isn’t li-“ I looked over when Alex just stopped speaking to see him looking at me surprised. “wait…you said love?” I nodded slowly. “you…fell in love with one of them, didn’t you? that’s why it hurts you, right?”

I sighed and opened my pendant looking at the picture. “not just one…all of them…Pinkie is like the sister I never had…Twilight is my marefriend.” I chuckled in a sad tone. “I mean, Twilight is a pretty mare, and very smart. Fluttershy is the kindest and most caring pony in Equestria, as well as a beautiful mare. Rarity has such grace, and poise, but she isn't like the human girls that are like that...sure she hates dirt and such, but she will do stuff that COULD ruin her mane...or dirty her coat for a close friend or family member. AJ...she is a strong mare, she knows how to have fun in ways one would never even think of, and she can see the good side in everything…and maybe in time…I would start a herd, if any of the others have feelings towards me as well…but I have no idea if they do or not…I BELIEVE that Dash does, but I may be misinterpreting her actions.”

I felt Alex’s hoof come off my shoulder, as he walked in front of me. “wait…you and Twilight…ARE together? That definitely explains why you don’t want to stay at the library…I think the others are still at the library, so maybe I could see about getting you to stay with one of the others, if you want.”

I closed my pendant and smiled a bit. “I would appreciate it Alex.” I looked at him. “thanks.” He nodded as we continued heading for the library.

We reached the library and I stopped looking at the door, as Alex looked at me. “You can wait out here, if you prefer that I talk to them to see who you will stay with. Is that okay?" I nodded and sat beside the door, as Alex headed inside.

I leaned against the library as my eyes felt heavy and thought I would rest them for a bit, slowly closing them. Not long after closing I could hear a female voice screaming something but it sounded so distant, yet I…wanted to run to it…to hug her, and never let go…why? Why do I feel like this from a voice I don’t know…I then heard the voice again, and this time…it was screaming my name…but not ‘Blaze’ it was screaming ‘Blazing’ with such…fear?

I opened my eyes in shock, when I was shaken back into reality to see Dash, Rarity, and Alex looking at me, with worry. I looked at Dash who had pulled her hoof off me. “are you ok? You were kind of…twitchy there…”

I wiped a hoof over my head to notice I had been sweating badly, since I felt like I dove into a pool, and I felt like I was burning up, panting a bit. “y-yeah…just a weird…dream, or something…I’m fine…” I looked over to see the library door open to see AJ run out, followed by Twilight who had an ice pack in her magical hold, Pinkie carrying a small bucket of water in her mouth, and finally Fluttershy, carrying a rag.

The ice pack floated onto my head, which made me sigh in relief closing my eyes. I heard the bucket being set on the ground, and the water splash, opening an eye a bit to see Fluttershy wringing out the rag…or I should say squeezing the rag, and gently dab my face, as they all look really concerned. “Blaze…” I looked at Twilight when she said my name. “you should really stay here tonight…I don’t understand WHY you feel you can’t…but you don’t seem to be in any shape to go any further…I set the couch up for you…”

I sighed but smiled a bit. “alright…thanks, Twilight…” I slowly stood on my hooves and almost fell as my legs felt like they were asleep, and couldn’t hold me up. I caught myself feeling my legs shaking, as I was staring at the ground panting. I carefully stood up as my legs stopped shaking and held my head looking to my sides to see Alex at my right, and Dash to my left ready to help me if I needed it I guess. “I’m fine now…I just…” I carefully walked into the library, feeling dizzier by the second. “I think…I’m just tired…” I collapsed onto the couch panting, as I saw everypony watching me.

I relaxed and saw Fluttershy walk up to me as the others talked silently. “Blaze, a-are you ok…? You don’t look too good…”

I laid my head on the pillow, closing my eyes. “I’m fine Fluttershy…I just…feel so tired…” I opened my eyes and smiled weakly at her. “don’t worry about me, I will be fine, maybe I just drank too much…” Fluttershy looked at me incredulously, and walked back to the others, as I let my eyes close, and heard the silent murmurs, become more and more distant, until they disappeared.

I opened my eyes to see a fabric at the edge of my eye sight on my left, and right, and noticed I was looking at a white mare, with bright pink hair. I reached out for her, noticing I was so small, and I saw a black stallion with brown spiked back hair, and a red horn come into my sight. I looked at the unicorn stallion as he smiled and spoke. “he’s perfect Petals…what should we name him?”

I looked at the mare, as she smiled, and a tear flowed down her cheek. “Blazing…Blazing Feathers.” The Stallion chuckled and nodded, as I yawned. “who’s our sleepy little colt?” the mare nuzzled me, as everything faded to black.

Things came back into view with me looking through the bars of a crib, crying out as the black unicorn stallion, and white mare, who seemed to have bright pink colored wings, ran into the room. “Petals, we have to send him away, you KNOW it is best for him!”

The mare shook her head as she had tears flowing down her cheeks, as the stallion pushed against the door that came into the room. “NO, WE CAN’T, HE IS OUR FOAL! HE NEEDS US!”

The stallion used his magic through his red colored horn to seal the door shut, panting, as he looked exhausted, and strained to move. “I know, but he will be safer there, than here. You know what is destined for him if he STAYS here!”

The mare walked to the crib I was in, and picked me up holding me up, as I calmed down hugging her. “I know Slab…but…we barely got to have any time with him…your duties with the elemental ponies, and mine as the elite solar guard captain has kept us from him…” the mare sniffled as she sobbed a bit.

“I know Petals…but we can be happy knowing he will live…that he will be able to go on with his life, right?” I saw Petals nod, as she carried me to a runic circle, that Slab had made using a white powder. “I know it is tough…but our little colt will grow up, and live his life…and…he won’t have to go through what we are now…maybe…maybe this endless cycle…can be stopped…him, and our grandfoals, and so on will never have to worry about this again…” the mare, smiled at me.

“you are right…our little firebrand, will be able to end this…by going away…” the mare kissed my forehead, which made me giggle and reach for her. “it will be ok sweetie…and don’t ever forget…mommy and daddy will always love you…” the mare laid me down in the middle of the circle as I looked around the room.

I looked at Slab, and blinked, as he placed his hooves against the edge of the powder runic circle as the powder sparked, and gained a gold, and black glow. “it will be ok Blazing, look at me…keep looking at daddy…ok?” he smiled at me, as his tears began to flow, and I felt myself float up, looking around, flapping my tiny wings in excitement. “keep looking at daddy.” I looked at Slab, as the door burst open behind him, showing a massive white form, with red colored eyes, and bright red aura flowing from the side of its eyes. “no…almost…there…”

I heard the white form laugh, as it became a white mist and flew at me, swirling around me, and I could hear Petal’s voice screaming. “BLAZING!” after I heard her scream, I felt a sharp pain and started crying, as the mist seemed to enter my body, going through my skin, my eyes, my nose, and my ears. As it was halfway inside, it felt like my body lurched, back and forth, like I was being tossed around like a ragdoll, and cried more, hearing Slab, and Petals calling to me, until their voices just stopped.

I shot up opening my eyes widely and reaching my right hoof out. “MOM, DAD!!!!!” I sat there panting, noticing I was in the library, and the sun was pouring through the window. I let my hoof drop and fell back onto the couch panting hard, as my heart felt like it was going a mile a minute, as I spoke quietly. “what…the BUCK was that?!” I carefully got off the couch and held my head, as it seemed to pound. “ugh…damn hangover…” I headed up the stairs and to the restroom, as I started splashing water on my face.

I stopped and sighed, looking at the mirror. My eyes went wide to see a white pony with blood red eyes that had a red aura flowing off them, as he smiled evilly at me. “so the little spark returns…yet…you are gone again…but I sense you working to return…it will not be long Blazing…your parent’s could not stop me…what hope do YOU have.” He chuckled, as his visage slowly faded. “once you return here…I will track you down…I will finish what I began all those years ago…the flame of Noctis…SHALL be mine.” He was almost completely gone as he grinned. “discover…the star of blood…rune design…” His voice echoed as he fully faded away.

I blinked as I stared at my own reflection in the mirror. I flinched as I heard a knock at the door, and walked over opening it to see Scootaloo standing there. “is everything ok? I heard some yelling earlier, and then some stuff falling.” I looked back to see nothing had fallen.

I looked back and shrugged. “maybe…somepony dropped stuff outside? The yelling…may have been me…just a nightmare…sorry if I woke you…” I left the restroom and headed downstairs to the library keeping a blank face, but I was scared, and confused deep inside. As I reached the library, I could hear Twilight and Alex talking in the kitchen, but flew around looking at books.

I heard 2 sets of hoofsteps leaving the kitchen, but one stopped at the kitchens doorway, as I heard one going up the stairs, not looking over, too focused on finding a book. after about a minute, I found a book on spells involving magic circles and started looking inside it quickly at the designs, and names looking for a ‘star of blood’ only to find nothing. “Blaze?” I looked down to see Twilight looking at me. “are you ok? I heard you yell out a bit ago…” I flew down and gently landed as Alex came from upstairs, and leave with Scootaloo on his back. He is most likely taking her to school.

“y-yeah…just a crazy dream…or…memory?" I looked down feeling so confused, and yet...relieved? "I don’t know…” I flew over to a different line of books and started looking through them. “I’m trying to find a book that shows and names magic circle designs…more specifically…something called…’the star of blood’ design…”

“why would you need to find the design to that?!” I looked at Twilight, as she had a look of fear. “that is pure dark magic…its uncontrollable!” she shook her head and glared at me. “how do you even know about it?! Barely anypony knows about its existence!”

I sighed looking down. “because…I believe it is what my parents used to send me away…but I believe it was meant to send me to another Equestria, but something happened…sending me to the human world…” I placed my hoof on my face and chuckled in a sad tone as my voice was shaky as I spoke. “I can’t…it doesn’t…I need to think…” I left the library, and walked through town thinking on my odd dream, and the ponies I had seen that called themselves my parents, and that odd figure that busted in, and entered my body.

I quickly shook my head, and focused on the circle and design hoping I could get an idea of it from my memory. I could see fragments, and different angles, and stopped as I drew what I could get in a small size in the dirt road, seeing a lot of small gaps, and was able to fill them in, to see a circle containing a 9 pointed star, where the points went halfway over the circle itself. I swiped my hoof over it after the design was drilled into my head, so nopony could ever see it, and use it.

I turned and ran for the library, hoping Twilight would help me. It didn't take long to get back to the library but I froze as I was going to open it, as Rage’s voice rang through my head. “You really believe miss ’royal Student’ would help with anything involving dark magic? No...in fact, I bet she wrote to Celestia.” I heard him laugh, as he finished. “I bet sunbutt is on her way!”

I flinched at that and looked down. I closed my eyes and opened my wings as I turned and flew towards the Everfree forest. I slid to a stop in the clearing I had trained in before in my Equestria, and started to drag my hoof around drawing a larger version of the circle.

I looked at the circle nervously feeling this wasn't right, but it was what I saw in that dream...or memory...whatever it was! I walked to the center of the circle and took slow, deep breaths. I have to do this, it has to be safe, I mean it sent me to the human world! Their reaction and everything just says it messed up.

I set my hooves on the inner circle I was standing in, as the entire thing gained a red glow, as well as a few sigils floating up and swirling around. “No, this isn't how it happened...this is all wrong, there weren't any sigils!!!”

I tried to step back to discover I couldn't move my body, and tense up as I heard that same demonic voice from earlier. “Rage was right about you! he said in time, if given a false lead, you would find another way, through your memories.” He started laughing, as I felt a chill go through my body, which brought on an unnatural pain. “so I changed that one memory from your subconscious just slightly! And now…I will be taking control, so I can get us back, and find the pony that my power was sealed inside of, and get myself free ahead of schedule, and destroy everything! every Equestria, every world, every life, and then RECREATE EVERYTHING! AND BECOME THE GOD I AM DESTINED TO BE!”

The pain all seemed to move and focus along my back as it felt like it was being ripped open, like something was tearing itself out of me. I just bared my teeth and started trying to resist what this thing was trying to do. “if you…are sealed inside me…then that is…where you are staying!”

I heard the sound of something dragging itself along the ground, and looked to see a stick being held in a dark red aura, destroying the circle, which made the pain slowly stop, and then I felt something tackle me. I looked up to see a light grey, almost white mare in golden armor holding me down. I then heard a stallion’s voice. “did you stop him in time?!” I looked over to see a pony wearing a cloak, which all I could see was a dark red horn, as he was looking around.

“yeah, he was using that dark expelling circle you created long ago…the one that…” I looked at the mare as she spoke to see she had pink feathers, and pink colored eyes, which made me blink, wondering why they seemed so familiar. “alright, who are you, and HOW did you know about my husband’s circle?! Only Celestia and a selected few were allowed to know about it!“ she stared at me for a moment before she looked at me with wide eyes and a shocked expression.

“I saw the circle in a memory of mine…” the mare helped me up as I didn’t look at either of them. “as for who I am….my name is Blazing Feathers…”

I heard the mare step away from me, speaking with shock in her voice. “w…what did you say…?” I looked at her to see her eyes were glazed with tears ready to flow. “y-you can’t be…but…your wings…the red feathers…but this can’t be…y-you died…” the mare’s tear’s finally started to flow.

I looked down, as I heard the stallion walk over. “I-I'm sorry…but I didn’t think that circle did that…I thought it was going to get me home…to my friends…my marefriend…”

The stallion kept looking around, as his horn had a dark red ball of magic on the tip. “tell me about this memory of yours…”

“m-my parents…I guess that’s who they were…I was just a foal at the time…and they talked like they were my parents...they were named ‘Slab’, and ‘Petals’ from what I heard…” I saw them look at each other in shock then at me.

“Blazing…” I looked at the mare as she clicked the pink gem on her chest plate as the armor went into the gem, revealing a pink mane, pink eyes, and pink feathered wings. and the stallion lowered his hood looking at me, as I saw his black coat, brown mane, and dark red horn.

I slowly got up, staring at them, not believing what I was seeing. “M-Mom…? Dad?!”

They looked at each other, then me, as Petals started crying and smiled, before turning and running into me with a tight hug. “Slab…our colt is alive!!!!” I looked at them shocked, a what was happening, but quickly hugged my mother, as I fought the urge to cry…and failed as I felt my tears going down my cheeks.

After a while we separated from the hug, and we wiped the drying tears away. “I can’t believe you two are alive…I thought…that thing had killed you…” I looked at them, unsure if I passed out, and that this was some dream I was having.

Dad walked over and looked at me. “no, he went straight after you…and when you disappeared…we thought we had lost you…” he pulled me into a hug, and I could feel him shaking. “I don’t know what happened, but the spell…the circle…it reacted to Flare’s power, and…it exploded from the excess magic, and we woke up to see you were gone…”

I looked at him after he pulled back. “dad…that spell…it sent me to another world…it’s…difficult to explain, because all I know is my life in that world…” I looked back to the path towards Ponyville. “in fact…this isn’t the Equestria I know…and I need to get back…to my friends…my marefriend…” I looked back at them. “I need to protect them…”

Dad put a foreleg over my shoulders smiling. “I think I can help you with getting back Blazing. Is there someplace we can go to talk?”

I nodded. “the library in Ponyville should work. My friends are there, and they have been trying to help me…” I saw them look at each other than at me as dad gestured for me to lead the way smiling. I nodded and started heading for the library with my parents, which felt really weird, but just meeting them…talking to them…it feels good to at least kind of get to know them. When we reached the library I walked inside. “Twilight? I met somepony that could help me in getting back to my Equestria!”

I heard two sets of hoofsteps run into the library area as mom and dad walked in closing the door behind them. I then saw Twilight and Alex run into the library looking at my ‘parents’. Alex seemed frozen in a confused look, as Twilight looked at me. “you said you found somepony that could return you to your Equestria?”

I nodded. "Yeah, I revisualized my memory...dream…thing, and I reconstructed the circle.” Twilight’s face went from shock to anger in moments, and I flinched lowering my head as I stepped back. “I-I’m sorry Twilight...I bucked up...I was wrong...I was…tricked…”

I felt a wing go over me and looked over to see mom as she hugged me with her wing. “It's ok sweetie, at least we stopped it, right?” I nodded and leaned against her feeling safe, and calm, like a colt with its mother…which is what I am feeling like…and…I guess that’s what this is, since she is my mother…

Whatever I don’t care right now. All I know is that they can help me, and I feel…happy, just from KNOWING who my real parents are. That hole inside me is nowhere near as big now, and I feel calmer. I looked at Twilight and Alex looking confused, probably to how I was reacting to the two ponies they don’t know.

I tensed and sat up clearing my throat. “s-sorry.” I looked at Twilight and Alex. “Twilight…Alex…these two are Iron Slab and Soaring Petals. They…well…” I looked down unsure of what to say.

I felt Petals wing pull me against her reassuringly as she nuzzled the top of my head as she spoke. “we are Blazing's parents.”

I soon felt a hoof at my back, and looked over to see dad smiling at me. “and we are in awe at how much how much our little firebrand has grown.”

I got myself free from my mothers’ wing and scratched my head nervously with a bit of a whiny tone. “stooop, you’re embarrassing me.” I tensed up standing in a guard like posture, before I heard a snicker at the door, looking over at Dash in the doorway and glared at her. “don’t start…” she put her hooves to her mouth. “don’t you DARE START DASH!!!” she started shaking and snorting from trying to hide her laugh. “I SWEAR TO FAUST IF YOU START I WILL BLAB OUT YOUR BIGGEST SECRET OF WHAT YOU HIDE IN YOUR CLOSET!!!!”

I saw her stop and tense up, before glaring at me. “you stay away from my collection!”

I blinked and tilted my head. "uhh...collection?"

Dash cocked her head back, with wide eyes. "you weren't...talking about my collection?"

"no, I meant your other secret...the embarrassing one." I looked at Dash, wondering what this collection was now.

Dash stepped back, "oh...uhh, forget I said anything."

I couldn’t help but laugh, until I felt my ear being tugged. “ow ow ow OW!”

I looked at my 'parents' to see dad's horn stop glowing and he went over to Twilight's studying table, as my mom spoke in a slightly loud, scolding tone. “young stallion! You will NOT be revealing ANY secrets!”

I stepped back rubbing my ear, and mumbled. “I wasn’t REALLY going to…it was just a threat to make her stop...” I looked at dad to see him using a quill on a piece of paper, making a few hums, and clicking of the tongue as he worked. “how long will this take him?”

mom cleared her throat. “it usually takes him 5 to 10 minutes to get prepared…and since he has been setting himself up magically since we got here, I would say…4 or 5 more minutes now.” I nodded and headed to the table with her as Twilight and Alex walked over, sitting there as well. “So, what kinds of things do you do Blazing?”

I shrugged and stared down at the edge of the table. “I was…knighted by Celestia and Luna…and named the new order ‘The Eclipse Knights’.” I heard her silently squeal in excitement and pride from that, as my dad chuckled as I barely heard him saying ‘that’s my colt’, which made me smile a bit, and I heard the door open not looking at it. “and I play guitar, and sing a bit to waste time…but that’s more to…as I said...just waste time.”

I heard a gasp and I knew everypony was now looking at the door, so I looked up and saw Rarity standing there with Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie, and AJ. Rarity ran up to me and placed her hooves on my shoulders staring at me. “you PLAY?!”

I shrugged and cleared my throat. “a little…it’s been almost a year since I have really played…other than a few days ago…” I saw Rarity smiling at me hopefully, with her eyes larger than before. “uhhh…but I don’t have my guitar.” I smiled nervously until I heard a discharge of a spell and looked down to see an acoustic/electric guitar with a metallic look on my neck by a strap, as the body of it looked like it was basic, but it had a hammer and chisel crossing painted on it, and saw a cord going to an amp. “oh…”

“just don’t be too rough with it, alright?” I looked over at dad and nodded as Alex, Rarity and the rest of the girls sat at the table as I used my wings to move onto the couch, secretly biting the underside of my hoof, making my small iPhone speaker set appear, and slid it from my wings placing it in, on top of the amp.

I could see Alex lean forward staring at my phone. "isn't that an iPhone? how does it even still work?!"

"oh...it doesn’t make calls anymore of course...but I have a few games on it, as well as some songs…or many songs on it...how it's still charged...well...I’m not quite sure...maybe the magical energy that’s flowing around Equis keeps it charged? I’m not sure." I started making sure everything was set and turned on, while using a wing to scroll for a song. “hmmmm…what to play…something cool enough for Dashie…kind and not to loud for Shy…and…” I stopped seeing a certain song title and smiled setting it up, not playing it as I tuned the guitar. After I finished tuning it I played the instrumental version of ‘Love Me Now’ by Nine Lashes, and closed my eyes, lowering my head lightly moving it with the beat, as I played the guitar and sang the song along with it.

Here I am where no one found the way in
Brick and stone, this place in me
The cold has taught to close my heart or suffer
But lost at home is strange to me
And I feel so alone
And I need someone
Are you out there?
If you hear me, listen close
I'm sorry
I never meant to lock you out

I hear your still voice calling
But how could you love me now? (Yeah)
And I'd rip my world down to follow the sound
Could you love me now?
Are you out there?

Could you love me now?
Are you out there?

We are not the wasted ones
The lovely thrown away where no one sees
We are not our loaded guns that tremble
We are not the hurt that we see
Though we feel so alone
We'll never be so alone
Are you out there?
So hold on tight
Don't lose your fight
Remember Jesus Christ
He felt your pain

I hear your still voice calling
But how could you love me now? (Yeah)
And I'd rip my world down to follow the sound

Could you love me now?
Are you out there?

Could you love me now?
Are you out there?

Could you love me now?
Are you out there?

I've never felt so free in all my life
Cause you were there for me in all those empty nights
Is everyone so blind?
It just seems so right
Cause you are all I find

I hear your still voice calling
But how could you love me now?
And I'd rip my world down to follow the sound
Could you love me now?
Are you out there?

I hear your still voice calling
But how could you love me now? (Yeah)
And I'd rip my world down to follow the sound
Could you love me now?
Are you out there?

Could you love me now?
Could you love me now?
Are you out there?

Could you love me now?
Could you love me now?
Are you out there?

When I finished the song I sighed and smiled a bit looking at the guitar. “I’m definitely glad I bought my own guitar in my Equestria. It feels good to be playing again.” I slipped the guitars strap off and set it against the amp and stretched my wings as I heard hoofs stomping in applause, while Alex was...clipping his forelegs hooves together, unsteadily, which made me laugh.

Rarity seemed to be swooning a bit, as I walked over to my dad and looked at what he was doing, seeing magic circles in and around a big circle all with sigils designed inside them. “I see why setting this up takes so long.” He nodded, as I looked back at everypony as they were all talking. “three times now I made friends with the same six mares…and I’m gonna miss the ones I may not see again….”

I heard my dad sigh before he spoke. “I can’t send you all the way back Blazing, BUT you will only have one more to go now, and I can pinpoint the place where a tear will happen. I will duplicate this when I am done, and this evening, when a magically fluctuated storm will happen, you just head to the place I mark, and make a drop of blood hit the paper. The tear will open, and you can walk through, back to your Equestria.”

I looked at him. “how do you know a storm will happen?”

“because if the residual energy I feel on you is what I think, the primary rift, will close with a serious storm…because it’s the primary one that was created…and spells that strong, affect everything…” he looked at me. “but when its closing is the only time it can be opened after so long.” He turned back to the paper and continued working on the magic circle drawing.

I looked at the circles and designs he had in them. “I really appreciate this…you have no idea what this means to me…and you have no idea how much I want to stay…get to know you both a lot more…” I looked down with a sigh. “but I need to get back…I have to find the others like me…and stop something the Elements of Harmony wouldn’t be able to stop…” I blinked and looked at him. "I feel stupid for asking this, considering what kind of consequences it could create...but, is there a way to create a doorway between this Equestria, and mine?"

I saw dad stop working on the circle design, and look at me. "I do know of a spell that can create two keys, and can bend the fabric of space-time to where it won’t tear, or destroy anything...but it can be very risky." I nodded, as he continued, and heard hoofsteps walking up seeing Alex sitting beside me. "the only thing is the spell needs blood tied to the two separate worlds...and it can’t be family blood..."

"what about mine?" me and dad looked at Alex, surprised that he would offer to do this. "if it means keeping in contact with a new friend, who is like me, then I'll give a little blood for this spell." I saw Alex look at me, as I understood what he was keeping secret.

I looked at dad wondering what risks there would be. "it may be a bit more than...a little...I would need enough to create a small key made from the blood, which would be crystallized. all you do after that, is press the key into where you want the doorway to go. once its set, until both doors are set, then one of the doors will just be grey." dad turned around and looked at us. "but once both are set and connected, one door becomes red, while the other becomes blue. after the doors are set the keys disappear, and you just open and go through the door...best to not let others see you do that, or they will just see you walk into a wall...or just fading away...not sure, I had never used it before." dad chuckled when he saw Alex, and I looking concerned about the idea now. "I only created the spells ideals, and I am...ninety-five percent certain it will work...five percent...that it won’t, it’s not life risking or anything…at east I don’t think it is." me and Alex looked at each other, hoping we aren't risking our lives. "alright, you two are going to feel...a slight pinch..." we looked back, then I felt a sharp jab, as me and Alex both yelled out. soon after two syringes full of blood floated to the table. "you two go relax, and I will prepare everything from here."

I nodded, rubbing the now stinging spot, then me and Alex went back to the table where everypony was sitting where Alex went to sit next to Twilight, and I moved beside Rarity quietly as she was talking. Even though I could tell what she was talking about when I came up in the middle of what she was talking about. “…-credible, the way he played. I never knew anypony that could play like that. It may not have been a style of music I enjoy, but it was still really good.”

I smiled and quickly dropped the smile as I lift my forelegs in a step like fashion making my hooves click, making Rarity jump as I sat there. “so, what did I miss?” I just smiled and looked at Rarity. “hopefully I didn’t miss anything important.”

Dash chuckled, as Rarity seemed nervous. “o-oh, nothing important, just…maretalk.” She seemed to smile widely, but I could see that she was nervous.

I blinked slowly looking at her than raised a brow moving my eyes to Alex, then Rarity again. “maretalk…?” she nodded quickly, giving me a nervous smile, as well as a slight nod, which I just shrugged smiling. “alright, I guess nothing important was talked about” I turned my head to look forward putting her in the left side of my peripheral vision, as she seemed relieved making me smirk. “I guess I misheard when somepony was saying the song I played may not have been their preferred genre, but still liked it?” Rarity tensed up and looked away from me. “Rarity, I’m just messing with you.” I placed my hoof on her shoulder, which made her look at me. “remember, I know you and the others a lot more than you think I do…” I blinked and scratched my head feeling my face heating up. “and that sounded……REALLY wrong…” I saw most of them smile and nod, as I chuckled from my embarrassment.

Alex facehoofed and looked at me. “dude…really?!”

I glared at him. “shut up! I didn’t mean for it to sound all…stalker like!” I sighed and shook my head “but you know what I mean at least.” All of us started laughing from my mistake in choice in words.

When the laughing calmed down I looked back to see dad had set the paper down and a red pole of pure magic was wavering above it. “Blazing, Alex, come here please." Me and Alex walked over to see a set of crystal keys, where one was blue, with a flame design on the top in front of me, and a red on with a crown design on top of it in front of Alex. "I hope you don't mind that I set it up so me and Petals can see the doors as well, we may want to visit our colt sometime." Alex nodded as he grabbed the red key, while I grabbed the blue key. "Alright, Blazing, you may want to say your goodbyes, the circle is ready, so I'm going to get the spell for it going." I nodded as me and Alex walked back to the table again.

I looked at the others and smiled a bit to try and hide the bit of pain I was feeling in my chest. “I guess…this is farewell…” I looked at Alex and held my hoof to him. “Watch over them Alex, alright?”

Alex, chuckled and bumped his hoof into mine. “please, they watch over ME. I’m usually not allowed to leave the library alone because of…” he cleared his throat looking away. “of a certain incident…” he shook his head and looked at me, talking in a quiet tone. “I wanted to ask…how is it you could fall in love with one of the girls…? Doesn’t it…feel weird…?”

I blinked looking at him and looked up tapping my chin. “does it feel weird…? No…I mean sure; humans find love with…non-humans a taboo…but sometimes…you just have to follow your heart…” I looked at Alex smiling. “I mean…the heart wants, what the heart wants…you just have to go with it…for me…I shut my heart away years ago, to never feel love again…but in equestria…it broke free…and I started to look at the girls as more than friends…it scared me…a lot…but I finally gave in, when they all came up when I woke up from my coma that the changeling caused…” I opened my pendant and showed it to Alex, letting him see the picture of me, and the girls, where Twilight was against me, Dash on my other side, with her grin, Pinkie on my head, with me laughing, and Fluttershy, Rarity, and AJ around us. “we took this picture after we got back to Ponyville. I keep it with me in this pendant at all times, so I will always have a way to see them, no matter where I am.” I closed it letting it hang once more.

I heard a loud hum, and looked back to see a portal of many different colors. I felt a weight leaning against me from the front as more and more weight was added to it. I looked to see all the girls hugging me, which made me smile a bit. They started pulling back, smiling as I heard Fluttershy’s voice. “be careful…alright?” I looked at her and smiled, giving her a nod as she was hiding herself in her mane.

I looked at mom and walked up to her hugging her. “I’ll set up the door as soon as I get back, and you and dad and come back through the doorway.” I let her go as she nodded. I then walked up to my dad.

I took the scroll and slipped it under my wings. "I can’t wait to meet this marefriend of yours. and be ready for your mother trying to embarrass you in front of her as well, she always wished she could do that to you." He chuckled. “and now she will.”

dad pulled me into a slightly tight hug as I returned it, feeling like everything was going to come out, but I held it back this time. “I'm kind of counting on it." we both chuckled, and then I walked up to the portal looking at the multitude of colors swirling, and bending around each other, to create a swirling/wavy effect. a thought passed through my head, which made me think. I told Celestia and Luna about interdimensional spells, and only my dad knew any here...I have to...I can't risk it.

I looked back and gestured mom, dad, and Alex to come closer, once they moved closer, I looked at the girls, then quickly moved my hoof into my mouth biting it so hard blood squirted out, but it sparked immediately after as a very basic looking magic circle formed beneath the four of us, encasing us in a small red dome. as soon as it faded the girls could be seen standing still like statues, with dilated, wide eyes, as I let my hoof fall from my mouth panting, like I had been running without stopping for a whole day. "Blaze..." I weakly looked at Alex. "what did you do?!"

I shook my head weakly. "I erased everypony’s memories of me...anypony that had seen me...except you three...have completely forgotten about me...and any conversations involving me" I rubbed my head sitting down. "maybe I didn’t have anything to worry about, but this Equestria had no knowledge of interdimensional spells that the princesses could access..." I looked at the three of them. "but you never know...I live by the words 'better safe, than sorry.' I mean...Celestia, or Luna may become curious, and would try...maybe they wouldn't...I don’t know, but they aren't hurt, they are just like this while I am within a certain distance...the princesses should be confused right now, and I altered Twilight's memory a bit to where, if Celestia asks her about that letter, it will spark in her mind as a dream she had, and that she might have written a letter in her sleep, and had spike send it the next day, without thinking to look at it."

“mental spells are dangerous, Blazing, unless you did something to prevent that.” I looked at dad and nodded. Alright…we will talk about this once we get back home, but you need to go now, before the portal closes. If I have to reopen this portal it will be too late in the next Equestria” I nodded and walked up to the portal, watching the swirling mass of colors.

I slowly walked into the portal, but looked back as I just stepped into it to see mom, dad, and Alex smiling. I gave one last wave as the portal was closing, and turned around when the opening back had closed, and ran through the void toward the next and final Equestria that I would have to pass through to return home to my friends, and my Equestria.

I’m almost home…just wait one more day everypony…just…one…more…day…
