After That Fateful Night- The Angel's Story.

It was peaceful. Trees everywhere and such. He was in the woods obviously, but how he got there?

Of course, those damned ponies following him! Standing upright Loyal realized he stood near the corpse of a dragon. Giving the place a studious once over, Loyal quickled deduced there had been a battle here.

"Ah, so you awake my friend!"

Spinning around Loyal found himself staring at the two ponies that'd followed him.

The mare, a unicorn, white, but in a bleached bone colour stood smiling at him next to a rather serious looking black pegasi, not not quite black, if the sun caught right his coat shone red like blood.

"You two! I'm going to kill you, you've interrupted something quite important."

"Ah ah, easy there friend. You're fine. In your world mere nanoseconds are equivelant to years here. It's really quite remarkable!"

"My world?" Loyal repeated uneasily.

"But of course. I used an insanely powerful spell that fed off of this dragon's soul to find the most powerful undead creature. Turns out that it was you!" the mare said in an overly cheery tone.

"Necromagic? That was banned by Princess Celestia and Princess Luna!" Loyal's eyes glared threateningly.

At this the four eyed stallion spoke up. "Queen Nightmare Moon! Luna doesn't exist, and Celestia's banished. Time for your new history lesson." the stallion chuckled in a rasping voice.

"Oh yeah, by the way, we know you're Loyal. I'm Laryia the necromage and this is Thane!"

'Dear Celestia, it's like a serious, less physically active Pinkie Pie' Loyal thought.

Loyal sat as the two ponies regailed him about what happened when their timelines diverged.

Loyal listened in shock as he was told the Elements failed to stop Nightmare Moon. He continues listening, even more surprised, as wells as disgusted, to find that Twilight was her 'pet'. The recent battle that Laryia and Thane took advantage of to use the dragon's soul, and an explanation of the three opposing force(Lunar army, Solar Guards remnants, and Griffon's) as Loyal sat and absorbed it all.

"Well it's terrible what has happened, but why the buck am I here?!" Loyal shouted back.

'One hell to another!'

"Because you can tip the scales." Thane rasped.

"And your damned point is what!"

"You can't leave until you help us."

"Buck fine, but your time distartion idea better be DAMN right. I don't need to return to my home any more than seconds after I left it!"

At that the two ponies stood up and took off walking as Loyal grudgingly followed behind.

The guards were making their usual rounds when they noticed the three ponies. At first they thought nothing of it until they notice the size of the 'pegasus' following the other two, and his strange wings. He rushed back to inform the captin.

"Captian, there is a strange group of ponies have are walking by!"

"And that means what to me?"

"Well, one appears to be a young, poorly disguised Alicorn."

"Alicorn! How so?"

"Large for a pegasus, with a giant wingspan. He's also all white with exception of his mane and tail."

"Fine gather our scouting party. I would pay these three a visit."

"We are being followed, my two new 'friends'."

"That we are Loyal, any thoughts Laryia?"

"Of course, let's see what they want!"

The three stopped as they allowed the 20 strong party of Lunar army stallions to surround them.

Unpertrubed at their gear, as of it's similarities to Luna's gaurd, Loyal stepped forward and spoke.

"May we help you, sir?"

A regular soldier stepped out of formation to strike the stallion for speaking out of turn, but the look he recieved caused him to quickly back down.

"You will speak when spoken to, commoner!"

"Mmm."

Ignoring the stallions lack of a proper answer the captain stepped forward.

"Might I ask what three ponies are doing wandering through the woods so close to the Her Majesty's castle?"

It was a simple demand, and Loyal, being thoruoghly annoyed and filled with contempt for the haughty captian, did the only thing he could, he told the truth.

"So you see sir, after these two performed their spell i awoke here, where everything was different." Loyal said cheerily.

Throughout the whole story the captian's face grew redder and redder from indignation. Did this satllion think he was funny. He'd beat insolence out of his hide!

Realizing how badly he'd pissed the captain off, and knowing he didn't need to start off on everyponies badsides' Loayl quickly covered for himself.

Staring an empty spot next to him he pretended to be listening to somepony, then nodded enthusiastically like a foal.

"Squidgly also told me to tell you that you have funny wings!" sputtered Loyal, cocking his head sideways to stare at the batlike appendages that made the pegasi captains wings.

The captain stared at him, trying to figure what the buck the stallion before him was talking about when Laryia stepped in.

"So as you can see our friend here is adled in the head. He got out of his house and we tracked him down. I'm terribly sorry for the trouble we've caused."

Just wanting to get away from the 'crazy' stallion the captian shrugged it off, especially after the story he'd spun.

"It's fine. Be on your way commoners, and get him locked up again!"

"Say hi to Princess Luna for me!" Loyal shouted excitedly as they left as he bounced up and down.

"Yeah sure.....wait....what was that name?" the captain spun around.

"Princ... oh shit, well gigs up Thane, Laryia. Sorry 'bout that."

Loyal suddenly grabbed 4 Lunar soldiers closest to him with his feather-tendrils and hurled them into the trees.

Laryia quickly ducked behind Thane while tossing out some life draining spells.

Thane pulled a knife from his belt, a puny thing that could never peirce armour, but then it wasn't to be used against the enemy. Drawing it across his foreleg a red mist like aura surrounded him. The soldiers halted for a second, just long enough for the mist to dive into the orifices of 7 soldiers and turn their insides into ash.

Loyal stood astounded at the use of bloodmagic from a pegasi. He didn't even notice the captian run up to him until his throat had been slashed. Gasping for air Loyal turned to se his own blood on the captain...no wait....his blood was flying back into his throat as it mended seamlessly.

Angered beyond reckoning Loyal's eyes began to glow deep purple as he used a single feather-tendril to grasp the foalish captain be the neck.

"Can't you see captain. I can't die and there is nothing you can do to stop me." Loyal declared in a voice similiar to that of the ancient Royal Canterlot voice.

Struggling futily the captain shoved his blade in and out of the stallion holding him there. Screaming like a banshee the captain could do nothing as a second feather-tendril wrapped around his muzzle.

There was a sickening snap and for the brief milliseconds of life the captain had left, he found himself starring right inbetween his own two wings.

The threat to Dash's well being destroyed, Loyal's eyes ceased glowing and he gazed upon the carnage he'd wreaked in his brief state of power. Every Lunar soldier around him had been hurled into tree, rocks, or simply smashed into the ground by his feather-tendrils that hadn't been used on the captain.

"Damn son, you really don't like being attacked do you?" Thane raspingly chuckled.

"It's not that he attacked me, it the fact that if I were to die again, it would cause irreperable damage upon my mare."

Thane stood there slack jawed as Loyal trotted away down the path. Laryia bounding past him he faintly heard her giggle, "Told ya' love was powerful."

Shaking his head he made off after the two.

Author's note: Right so obviously if you start this story you're kinda like 'Wait how exactly did he get here?'

Well for that you need to read Sacrifice and Loyalty, but for that you also should read it's predescessor Loyalty and Sacrifice. Quite the clever bastardous little web I've spun huh? Anywho, this is jsut my start on a story that I realized could turn into something quite interesting. I ofcourse of my thanks to Peppy for allowing me to use his background, and to Tonto, whos assassin Tick Tock trained the apprentice that klilled the Dragon that Laryia andThane captured the soul of to find Loyal and drag him here. So yeah, woohoo!
