The Lost is Found.

Bliss. Commonly defined as the feeling of being calm and happy when you do something you really love or enjoy, whatever it may be. This was the feeling that I thought I would feel when I came back from the final destination of those who are truly evil But no, I instead awoke to the sound of a loud SPLASH and the sudden feeling of extreme cold all around me. Then when I open my eyes I immediately gasp and quickly look around to find that I had landed in water and I quickly shout, almost draining my lungs of their precious air aas instantly I start to feel light headed and then look up and start to swim to the surface. As the seconds tick by I can feel myself wanting to take in a deep breath, but I fight with all my body to avoid doing this and my lungs are now on fire with pain. Then after what feels like an eternity, I surface from the water and take in a huge gasp of air.

“Hey he’s in the water!” Luna shouts and all the rest of the mares come charging over and quickly Twilight surrounds me with her magic and gently picks me up and sets me down on solid ground as I desperately hack and cough the water out of my lungs. Then after a few seconds I get to my hands and knees and then look down to the watch hanging around me and see it jump slightly and gasping I quickly take it in one of my hands while dragging my body forward a few inches falling down slightly with my arms and legs sprawled out, I gasp and slam the watch into the ground twice. Then after 1 second of silence, I hear the watch click open and the second hand ticks rapidly 3 times before returning to a somewhat quickened pace of the normal ticking speed.

“Are you alright?” Fluttershy asks me desperately as I open my eyes wide and get back to my hands and knees and wheeze for 5 seconds to expel the last remaining water from my lungs then slowly and painfully make my way to a sitting position.

“Yea…I think so.” I say in a raspy voice giving them the thumbs up and they all sigh and then without warning Fluttershy leans down and wraps her forelegs around me.

“I thought you died.” She says softly as I hear start to cry into me as I hug her with one arm and lift her face up so that I can see her face.

“I thought I did to, but there is no way I am going to leave you all any time soon.” I say soothingly to which she stops crying and smiles slightly and nuzzles my cheek as I feel the rest of the mares snuggle up to me making all the pain I was feeling almost completely disappear.

“How did you do that back there with the horn and all, it was one of the coolest things I have ever seen!” Rainbow Dash asks excitedly and I sigh.

“Well, because that horn is no ordinary horn, actually to tell you the truth that is Gabriel’s horn to be exact.” I say plainly.

“Gabriel’s horn, what is that supposed to be?” Celestia says from behind me and I then turn my head slightly so I am facing her.

“Long story short, it is an angelic horn that can open the gates of eternity, both the gates of Heaven and Hell, that is how we go out, long story short once more it was a stroke of luck.” I say and this causes Twilight to perk up and she looks at me with a raised eyebrow.

“But how do you know that?” Twilight asks me and I then a smile forms on my face and I nuzzle Pinkie and Rarity.

“His name is engraved into the side and there is some Latin writing also inscribed on the front that tell of its story, I cannot read it, but I knew the name and that is how I figured it out, like I said a stroke of luck.” I say grunting as Rarity leans her head against my neck and puts slight pressure on a very tender spot and she quickly withdraws her head and smiles in embarrassment. I chuckle slightly and smile to her and she then lowers her head and gently rests it on my shoulder and I sigh lightly as two massive white and dark blue wings wrap around all of us and hug us, pulling me back into the two.

“Stroke of luck or not, you’re a hero.” Celestia coos gently and my face instantly reddens and then a feeling of sudden pain washes over me. The pain grows and grows inside of me, steadily rising as I recall the events that led up to us being cast into Hell and I wince at the pain from those memories, the pain of betrayal.

“No I am no hero.” I say plainly and sink my head down and cast my eyes at the ground and stare blankly trying to fight back the tears that were now threatening to spill from my eyes.

“WHAT?!” All the girls shout in unison and then I see Rainbow Dash zip from behind me and hover so her face is only inches from mine.

“How can you say that, we have fought some intense enemies and seen a lot of amazing things, but I can say one hundred percent that was by far the most heroic act I have ever seen and trust me I NEVER say things like this or put somepony above me.” She says giving me somber eyes and I smile slightly and lean in close to her and nuzzle her cheek and then quickly pull away from her. Paying no attention to her blush I sigh once more as I feel a tears stream down my face.

“You don’t understand, I am the reason that we were put in that situation in the first place.” I say as more tears start pouring down my face as I start to choke on my words. “Because of my weak mind, I was tricked and deceived!” I shout as I start to sob unrelentingly and instantly I feel a series of soft movements as the ponies around me snuggled me deeply. Fluttershy and Luna rest their heads on me, gently pressing the side of their heads into mine and silently let me continue to cry.

“What happened Chris?” Luna gently whispers in my ear and I momentarily break slightly from my crying and look to everypony. It takes me a while to process just how to tell them, me wanting to tell them as easily as I could but not finding the right words to use but eventually without me thinking I started to speak.

“Xana used Vinyl Scratch to seduce me.” I say in a hurt voice and instantly all the girls gasp. “Well no, he used a clone of Vinyl that reproduced her exactly, but that is beside the point.” After we got done on the dance floor and I stumbled over to the bathroom, I was a little…over excited and wanted to wait over there until I calmed down so I did not freak you all out, but at the same time it was because I had noticed Vinyl looking at me with a strange look and from that look I could feel something off about it…something evil.” I say shuttering remembering the ice cold feeling I got from looking into her eyes inside the upstairs bedroom and Fluttershy gently rubs my chest with a hoof and then motions for me to continue with a nod of her head and I uneasily do. “She approached me when I was over by the stairs and she seemed somewhat normal, but then she put her forelegs around me and whispered that she wanted to show my something, something that only a few ponies had ever seen before and she quickly ran upstairs to the door and in my drunk state, this partially overtook my common sense and I acted on impulse and followed her up the stairs and into the room.” I say as I close my eyes tight and shutter slightly.

“When I did she shut the door behind us and immediately…kissed me passionately.” At this more tears start to run from my eyes and I no longer contain my pent up sadness. “I returned the favor and soon it became a make out, which started to get even more intense and before long I had fallen onto a small bed with her on top of me…my animal side telling me that all that mattered was what I was doing, made worse by her grinding her marehood against me relentlessly.” I say as I burry my head in the side of Celestia’s neck shaking like a leaf. “That is when something happened, I felt something jump from her body and into mine allowing my logical side to take a hold and I pulled back from her in confusion and she smiles an evil smile. Immediately I reached up and pulled her sun glasses off to reveal that same symbol that was in Sombra’s eyes and that is when I realized that I had been tricked.” Xana then quickly tells me I am a fool and was easy to trick and how he is going to burn all of Equis to the ground and then tells me my time is limited and vanishes, to which I quickly run and get you and then the Hell fiasco happens and now here we are.” I say from the warmth of Celestia’s chest as I cry relentlessly, barely able to get the next words out of my mouth.

“Who is Xana?” Twilight asks me gently and then gently rubs my side with her head and I try my hardest to turn my head and face her.

“Xana is a Daedra, a demon who I know not how ended up here and is now loose somewhere in Equis and wants to destroy all of Equis and make you all his…toys for his personal pleasure.” I choke out, causing all of them to recoil slightly except for Rainbow who grows a scow on her face.

“Okay he is going down now!” She says defiantly and I sadly chuckle and look to her and sigh.

“Well…there is one slight problem with that plan…you all cannot defeat him.” I say plainly while wiping my eyes with one of my arms, causing a moment of strong silence from the group.”

“…What do you mean we cannot defeat him, the elements of harmony can destroy any evil.” Twilight says and the rest add their yeas to the statement but I quickly shake my head taking a deep breath.

“No you cannot, not even if Celestia, Luna and any other extremely powerful alicorns used their full power plus the elements of harmony you would still not be able to defeat him.” I say wiping my eyes once more. “Actually no pony could do it.”

“That is a load of shit!” Rainbow Dash says quickly taking flight and getting right into my face staring me down, making me recoil back into Celestia slightly. “We have destroyed so many evil things before, how do you even have the slightest clue of what we can due huh?!” She screams into my face and I shake my head and I can start to feel another emotion start to rise within me. Anger.

“Oh yea?” I say in a calm manor with a hint of heat in my voice?

“Oh yea how do you know hmm?” Rainbow asks in an equal voice and I feel even more anger start to work its way into my body, slowly replacing the sadness.

“Rainbow you overstep.” Rarity says in slight anger but Rainbow just throws a hoof out in a dismissive gesture.

“I want to know how you know, tell me!” She shouts into my face loudly.

“Because I have dealt with and defeated countless numbers of them, you cannot defeat them because they are immortal! The only way to stop them for good is to absorb their souls and that is something you all cannot do!” I shout loudly again with a hint of growling in my tone and Rainbow shakes her head and scoffs.

“Oh and I assume you are the only one that can do it.” Rainbow Dash says sarcastically making me grit my teeth and growl slightly.

“Rainbow you need to get a grip!” Twilight shouts concurringly and Rainbow ignores her.

“Yea why are you being such a meanie?” Pinkie says and Rainbow just scoffs and tilts her head to the side.

“Why are you taking up for him he is the reason we got into this mess in the first place!” Rainbow Dash yells to the others making Fluttershy start to cry and that is the straw that broke the camels back.

“RAINBOW DASH THOU SHALL CEASE THIS BEHAVIOR IMMEDIATELY!” Luna roars in the royal Canterlot voice, making all of us cover are ears and flinch. Rainbow’s eyes instantly fill with fear and she quickly pulls back from me and flies to a spot near Celestia and sits down roughly, her entire body shaking. “What is the meaning of this harshness?” Luna says in a calmer voice that still showcases a little bit of anger.

“I’m sorry Chris, it is just that I feel…betrayed.” She says in a quiet un Rainbow like voice.

“Rainbow this is not his fault how can you say-.” Fluttershy starts to say, but I clear my throat and then slowly shift my legs.

“I understand and am not mad.” I say plainly and then I run a hand through Fluttershy’s mane. “She is making reference to the incident with the clone.” I try to clarify to the rest of the girls and even my autistic mind can still process the slight pain that elects from their faces at the mention.

“But…why would you need to apologize for that, you were not in the wrong there.” Twilight says trying to reason it, but a hint of pain in her voice instantly confirms that their body language is spot on with how she actually feels.

“Yea, why should you feel bad about that?” Pinkie tries to say in her normal cheerful voice, but just like Twilight I can hear a hint of pain that matches the slight look on her face and I sigh.

“Because it may not have been wrong in a technical stance but I felt as though I betrayed the ones, the ones I felt to be my special someponies.” I finish softly, electing another round of gasps from the mares minus Celestia and Luna who continue to look at me with supportive eyes. Then there is silence for an unknown amount of time, my heart beating rapidly and my thoughts racing. “Well now is the time to lay it all out on the table, come on just do it!” I tell myself as the silence persists for even more time and now the only thing I can hear is the loud ticking of my watch, which for some strange reason has now increased in its ticking speed. “Tick, tick, tick you’re waiting too long just say it!” I think to myself and I take in a deep breath and exhale slowly and part my lips.

“And who might they be?” Celestia says happily and I quickly glance back to her and she and Luan wink to me.

“Well…they are all sitting around me right now.” I say in a relaxed voice. In a flash all of the mares’ eyes grow wide and they look at me with surprised looks on their faces and Pinkie even pulls a glass of water out of nowhere, drinks it and then proceeds to spit it right back out of her mouth.

“W-w-what you y-you like us?” Fluttershy says as her face and most of the others faces turn a flush of red.

“Yes and I know this sounds crazy but it is true!” I exclaim as I laugh and once again rest my head on Celestia’s side and giving it a slight nuzzle making Celestia giggle and Luna to nuzzle me affectionately.

“Darling I feel so good to know you feel the same way I do!” Rarity says happily nuzzling the other side of my face and I return the nuzzle as best I can when I have two ponies nuzzling me at the same time. That is when all the other ponies gently nuzzle into me and put their forelegs around me cooing softly, telling me that the feeling is mutual, all except for Twilight and Rainbow Dash who remain against me, but do not get closer.

“I know that I felt something for you since the day I first met you, something I could not explain as I had never felt it before, but I am still unsure if this means I feel the same way as you do about me.” She says confused as I smile and reach a hand up and gently stroke her cheek electing a shutter from her and a deep red blush.

“Do you feel happy with my touch?” Twilight gently nods her head and sighs lightly, making me giggle. “Does it make you feel warm inside and your heart beat faster?” She once again nods her head and then closes her eyes and nuzzles my hand. “Then come on over and make yourself comfortable, the circle is incomplete without you.” I say warmly to which she opens her eyes and smiles brightly before nuzzling into my shoulder and putting her forelegs around my waist while contently sighing in her new found form of bliss. This only left Rainbow Dash, who seems wanting to approach but is unable to. “You to Rainbow come on.” I say plainly and she blushes fiercely and looks away from me.

"I-I can’t, I don’t deserve to after the way I acted to you.” She says uneasily and I laugh lightly while nuzzling against Twilight.

“Hey, no hard feelings, so come and share in the love!” I say enthusiastically and Rainbow turns slightly to me with another blush on her cheeks. However, it is quickly evident she is not going to move from her current position and I just sigh and shake my head. That is when Celestia reaches down and nuzzles me and cocks on of her eyes to look at Rainbow Dash. Then suddenly her horn lights up a bright yellow and that same glow envelopes Rainbow and quickly pulls her into underneath one of my arms and I instantly put it across her and gently pull her into me, nuzzling her face.

“Not fair!” She wines and sighs before quickly dropping her attitude and gently nuzzling me back, her soft mane brushing against me occasionally making me giggle and for the others to snuggle into my further. “Okay…well you got me stud I do like you.” She says chuckling slightly and I smile and let her be. “But now to be serious, if you like all of us and we like you, how the hell is that going to work because not to be a party pooper but this spells trouble all over it.” Rainbow asks me worriedly and I cock my head to the side and dwell on that for a second.

“Shit I knew this was coming!”

“Well, while you make a good point Rainbow Dash, I feel that the best way to proceed will be together.” Celestia says in a motherly voice and Twilight quickly nods her head in agreement.

“You know what princess Celestia is right, alone somepony is going to get hurt for sure, but with each other we are more stable so I am willing to trust in the power of friendship, are friendship!” Twilight responds happily while looking at me with sparkling eyes and this makes my doubt start to fade.

“No questions asked!” Rarity says happily.

“Oh boy this is going to be super fun!” Pinkie says enthusiastically, running her tail underneath my chin electing a slight giggle from me.
“Let’s do it!” Rainbow says with her prideful voice, making me grow a wide smile and gently stroke her side with one of my hands. Now the only one who has not answered is Luna, but a quick affectionate nuzzle to the face tells me that she also agrees with the concept.

“Okay…that turned out better than I had though it would!” I sigh in relief and then gently pull my hand away from Rainbow and reach down in between Rarity and Pinkie Pie, grabbing the watch and quickly shutting the face cover, stopping the loud ticking sound of the second hand and then sighing. “Well then I guess that makes me your new coltfriend?” I ask skeptically. This elects a round of laughs from the group and then they look to me with a more serious look.

“Yes and that would make us your marefriends.” Celestia says calmly with a hint of sarcasm in her voice.

“Okay, just making sure…something else you should know about me is that sometimes I can have trouble with understanding social cues, so be patient if it takes me a little longer to figure things out or if I do something awkward I have never been in this situation before.” I say electing another round of laughs from the group.

“Yea, we might do the same, except for Rarity and Rainbow Dash the rest of us have never had a coltfriend.” Twilight says turning her face a slight red color and I laugh and then look up to the sky and sigh. The dark night sky is thoroughly lit by the bright light of a full moon and among it is a massive sea of endless stars that shine so bright it is almost confusing to look at because of the clarity, something that back on earth would never be possible. The stars seem to swirl around each other in an endless patter, making it appear to be a rolling sea gently resting in the sky, creating an atmosphere that I almost want never to end.

“Ah it’s okay, we can learn them together!” I say happily turning one of my eyes from the sky, nuzzling against Twilight who gently smiles and leans her head against my side. That is when I look back up to the night sky and then something hits me like a ton of bricks. “What time is it? It felt like we were gone forever, but it still looks like the same night we left.” I ask with concern while looking down from the sky to Luna who immediately looks up to the night sky for a few seconds and then looks back to me with a surprised look on her face.

“It is exactly twelve in the morning!”

“Twelve in the morning?!” I ask confused as I look to Luna in disbelieve. “Are you sure that is the time?” Luna then looks back down from the sky and nods her head gently to me.

“This may be morning, but as long as it is dark then I will know the time and that is the time to the very second.” She says confidently before looking to Celestia who nods her head.

“My sister speaks the truth, but how that is…I have no idea.” She says calmly putting a hoof to her chin and furrow her eyebrows.

“Okay, so it was twelve when the watch sent us to Hell and now we come back and it is the same exact time, as if no time had passed at all. Something just does not add up, time would not stop like that under normal circumstances but let’s just assume that since this is a Daedra the circumstances are far from normal. But still something is not adding up.” I sigh and then immediately put one of my hands to my forehead “Wait, I just came from water, so why am I bone dry?” I then start glancing to the rest of my body and find that where I thought I was sopping wet a few moments ago is absolutely dry, as if I had never fallen into water. “Okay, this is even weirder…” Quickly I then look around a second time at my body and again I see no sign of water.

“Chris, you okay?” Twilight asks me in a soft voice.
“
Yea just, I am supposed to be wet but I am not.” I say confused and that is when I feel Rarity rub her head into me.

“Your right, I can’t believe it! Not a drop of water, but yet you were at the bottom of the palace reflection pool.” Rarity says shocked at the revelation.

“How is that possible, even Pinkie who seems to defy all rules of magic and logic…would still at least have some water on her.” Rainbow further elaborates on the strangeness of my situation.

“Shit first the time and now the water, this is making no sense! That is when Celestia gasps and I immediately turn to her and she looks to me with the look of revelation.

“This is going to sound strange, but I felt something when you resurfaced that was far from normal. Everything has a life force that surrounds them, a sun like energy that radiates off of them and I can sense it with my magic, but when you surfaced from the water you had no energy coming from you.” Celestia says while turning her head back to me and looking me in the eyes. “The normal flow of life that is around all was gone, as if you were dead.” She says closing her eyes and lifting her head to the night sky and I grow wide eyed.

“It was like I was dead?!” I ask, looking down to the ponies around me and then back to myself and give one of them an experimental pinch.

“Ow! What the hell was that for?!” Rainbow Dash asks me as she jams her head into my side.

“Sorry, but this is serious, I needed to be able to tell if you all can feel me.” I say quickly running one of my hands up my arm.

“But silly can’t you feel us right now?” Pinkie Pie says gently lifting herself so she is looking into my eyes.

“Okay so I can feel them, they can feel me and I can feel myself, so that means I am not dead…unless!” I think to myself before noticing that for some reason I can hear the loud ticking of the watch once again. “What the hell, I thought I shut the face! I say as I angrily grab the hanging timepiece from its resting place and stare down at it intensely.

“C-Chris your starting to freak us out, what is going on?” Fluttershy squeaks from her position in my lap and I quickly glace to her and immediately right back to the watch resuming my hard study. Out of curiosity I then find the small button on the side of the watch and push it to reveal the face of the watch.

“Wait, this watch must be off because there is no way it is 3:00 A.M! How is that possible, it is powered by magic it’s never supposed to be off like this!” I think to myself while eyeing the time piece suspiciously. “Celestia, Luna is this watch supposed to be ever wrong, because it is saying 3:00 A.M and I know for a fact that it is not 3 in the morning.” I say looking over my shoulder to the bright white alicorn who looks to me with a look of confusion.

“No, it might occasionally be off by a minute or so but no it should not be that far off, let me see.” She says cocking her head and I quickly remove the watch from around me and turn the face so that she can see it.

“You are right…it is only 12:00 so the watch should not say 3:00.” Luna say confirming what I already knew and then removes her head and leans toward Celestia so she can also properly examine the watch face herself.

“Our watch is never off like this, are magic keeps it constantly accurate but now it is completely off.” Celestia says eyeing the piece closely and Luna doing the same. For some reason this raises a suspicion in my head of why it is off and I quickly look to Twilight.

“Can dark magic affect the workings of the watch?” I ask questionable and Twilight removes on of her legs from around me and places a hoof to her chin.

“Hmm…it is quite possible, that place you called Hell was full of more dark magic than I have ever seen but…I don’t think it could have corrupted the watch because if it had then I would be able to tell and I sense no trace of black magic on the watch.” She says reassuringly and I smile and look back to the watch in my hand.

“Okay, so if it is not corrupted then...” I think reaching to the watch and pulling it back down so I can see the hands. That is when something catches my attention and I bring the watch closer to my face. Then I hold it up to my ear and listen to it attentively. For a second I can only hear the loud ticking of the hands and I listen to that for a second before I start to hear something very odd. It is barely noticeable, but hidden just behind the sound of the ticks is what sounds like a slight heartbeat and instantly my eyes grow wide while I quicken my breath. “Wait a minute?!” I think to myself as I place a hand to my chest and feel around until I can get a feel of my heart beating. Then I wait for a few seconds in absolute silence, letting the three sound fill me and measuring to the best of my ability, if the beat inside the watch matches my own heartbeat. After sitting there for a few seconds in silence, I slowly close the watch face and look up to the sky. “Oh boy.”

“Wait what is the matter now Chris?” Rarity says concurringly nuzzling into me and I lean back and I put my hands to my face.

“I think this watch is my life watch.” I say shakily while dragging my hands down my face and place them on the ground.

“So, what exactly does that mean?” Fluttershy asks quietly, nuzzling into me in an effort to calm me down. Although it does very little to calm me down, I decide that it would be better for them to see me brighten up from their touch so I give a small smile and try my best to keep some of the anxiousness out of my voice.

“Well…you know how the crystal empire has a literal beating life source, a crystal heart. Well my watch is the same thing, because I believe it now contains my life force and the tick is the strength of the life force.” I say as if rehearsed and then lean back onto Luna and Celestia.

“Let me get this straight, that watch the princesses gave you now contains your life force…am I the only confused pony here?” Pinkie Pie says looking up from nuzzling me and around to all the ponies, Rainbow Dash looking from her and then to me nodding her head in agreement.

“I know that it seems strange, but it is not uncommon for things life forces to be sealed or tied to one thing, it happens all the time.” Twilights says in an effort to explain to not only Rainbow and Pinkie, but the entire group.

“Okay, good to know, thanks Twilight.” I say happily while running one of my hands through her mane, causing her to blush and nuzzle my hand with the top of her head. “But that still leaves on good question. How?”

“How what?” Twilight asks me quickly and I then look to the watch and shake my head.

“How is it that this happened, I know this is might be an impossible question to answer right now but I need to know if anypony has any ideas.” I say as I drop the watch and shrug my shoulders.

“Well, to be honest could it have been from where that clone put something inside you…but whatever the case may be now we must tread lightly, that demon Xana is loose somewhere in Equestria and wants to destroy all of Equis.” Rainbow says jumping up to her feet and then quickly looking over to Twilight with an expectant look.

“Yea, what are we going to do about that one?” Pinkie Pie says looking to Twilight with the same look as Rainbow Dash. Twilight’s eyes grow wide from the sudden eye contact and she looks to both of them and then to me with a look that pleaded “Help!” Noticing her hidden message immediately, I gently run one of my hands through Pinkie Pies mane and look to Luna who smiles and then surrounds Rainbow Dash in her magic and gently lays her back against my left arm which I then gently wrap around her.

“Well, I for one am willing to put my faith in Chris, he says he is the only one who can truly stop this demon and he is already a hero, so why doubt him now?” Twilight says faithfully and this earns her another run through of her mane.
“
I will follow you Chris, whatever it may be!” Luna says reaching around my shoulder and nuzzling the side of her face against mine and I return the gesture in earnest.

“Hell yea will fly through Hell and back with you, oh wait I already have!” Rainbow Dash says playfully.

“Darling even though this sounds like it will get messy and trust me…I detest messy, I will do my best for you!” Rarity says laying her head in my lap next to Fluttershy who nervously looks over and shakes her head.

“A-as long as you n-need me, I will help you in any way I can.” Fluttershy says nervously and I quickly remove my hand from Pinkie Pie and move it to Fluttershy and gently raise her head so that she is looking at me, giving her a warm smile.

“You have already helped me so much, thank you for your willingness to help me even further.” Fluttershy then reluctantly gives a warm smile and her cheeks turn a bright red color and she quickly nuzzles back into my lap and sighs in contentment.

“Yay this is going to be so much fun!” Pinkie pie says in her normal energetic self and I take that as a yes, having no other way to explain the complicated pink pony.

“Alright then that only leaves Celestia.” I think to myself as I turn my head and face the white alicorn who gives me a reassuring smile.

“You have my support, after all I am one of your new marefriends.” She says giggling and putting one of her wings on my shoulder. Now for the first time in my life, I feel something inside me that I cannot fully comprehend from the affection and devotion of the beautiful mares around me and this causes a great rush of energy to run through me, igniting my body with a feeling of power that I have never felt before, making me ready to take on any challenge that Xana throws my way because now I know that not only am I loved but am supported.

“Xana…you messed with the wrong group this time!” I say confidently hoping that somehow the Daedra could hear me, secretly wanting him to appear so I could slay him. However a quick yawn from Fluttershy tells me that figuring out how to defeat Xana can wait until another time. Then in curiosity I look around to the rest of the group and can see that their obvious sighs of exhaustion and with one goal in mind I gently yawn and stretch my arms up above my head.

“Well…I don’t know about you but I am wiped out, so how about we go ahead and call it a night.” I say plainly before trying to shift my legs from underneath the girls and they immediately clear out of the way so I can get to standing. However despite my intention my body refuses to move and in response I only end up leaning forward slightly and then slumping back down onto Celestia who grunts slightly in pain. “Sorry guys, but it looks like I am not going anywhere, I have virtually no energy left and sorry about the side Celestia.” I say forcefully trying to keep my eyes open but with every passing second it is getting harder and harder and I can start to feel darkness creep into my eyes.

“If you need to sleep then sleep and leave the rest to us, you have earned a good rest.” Luna says happily extending one of her wings for me to rest my head on and without hesitation I lift myself and fall back into the wing.

“Thanks Luna…” Is all I can say as the darkness slowly envelopes my eyes and before long I pass out in a deep sleep.
