Kalib woke up and saw that midnight had fallen around and he saw Antigone asleep in a tree a few yards away. He felt a little voice in his heads and his wings spread automatically and he shot straight to Ponyville. He landed out side the library and charged through the door to find Twilight Sparkle bleeding on the ground. He slid down beside her and pressed his hooves against the gash in her side as her husband came stumbling in.
"What happened?" Kalib asked him.
"An assassin attacked." The guy replied.
"Where's Sky?" Kalib asked him.
"Princess Cadence has him running an errand for her." The guy replied.
"Dammit, I'll be back." Kalib told him before running out of the library into the forest.
He breathed in their child's scent before galloping as fast as his form would let him until he heard a child cry from a tree. Kalib leapt into the canopy and found Twilight's daughter and easily lifted her out of the tree.
"Who are you?" She asked him.
"A friend of your mother." Kalib replied.
"Is she alright?" The girl asked him.

"She's stable." Kalib replied. "I have to go to Canterlot to report this."

After Kalib dropped the filly off at Twilight's house and patched Twilight up he disappeared to the castle where he appeared before Sky, who was wearing his armor.
"Oh hey Kalib, how's it going?" Sky asked him before Kalib punched him straight in the jaw. "What the hell?!"
"Where have you been?!" Kalib asked him as anger flaring violently.
Everyone in the guard knew how well Kalib kept his anger in and when it came out they stayed away. If he got someone in his hooves they all knew that pony deserved it somehow. When they saw he punch Sky they all took a good seven strides back to give him room.
"Where have you been?" Kalib asked him again.
"I was on an errand for Cadence." Sky replied as he tried to push Kalib away.
"What was my order to you?!" Kalib shouted.
"P-protect Twilight." Sky stuttered.
"Why did you disobey a direct order?!" Kalib continued as fire starting to cloak his body.
"Cadence-." Sky started before Kalib tackled him.
They went down to the ground and Kalib started to wail away on him. It wasn't until Sky's chest plate cracked and then he disappeared. He landed on the beach, sat down and looked over the ocean and he let out a yell that shattered several rocks around him before collapsing. He quickly passed out quickly with the last thing he remembered being the wet sand under his body
