Hours into the night, John woke up from the same dream he had before. He was getting really annoyed by this. He was getting the same dream almost every night, but he could never figure out what it meant. Since he was awake, and since his annoyance wouldn’t allow him to return to sleep, John decided to go downstairs to read a book until his nerves calmed down. The only noise in the room was that Ryan was moaning food that couldn't be found in this world.

"Hamburger....Hot Dog....Nachos....Monster....Pizza...."

John descended the stairs that led directly into the main library, and cast his gaze about the darkened room. Almost immediately, he noticed a darker shadow that contrasted against the shadowy walls. It was here, the strange entity that had been haunting him ever since he arrived in ponyville.The mysterious figure was in the room.

It looked around, like a stranger that had walked in for the first time. The being checked the books, the pictures on the shelf, and the piano, still in the corner. The figure was just standing there, observing the room.

As it wandered the room, John drew his knife and started to sneak up on it. This was the opportunity to confront this figure who had caused so much trouble in the recent days. His heart pounded more quickly every step he took to get closer to the being. Every question he’d ever had after waking from his strange, recurring dream quickly re entered his mind. He sardonically wondered if the thing could even speak. John wanted answers.

The human then stopped as the mysterious figure picked up a spell book. It opened the book, flipped a few pages, and put it back. Then, the figure froze and lowered it's hooded head. John didn't know what the figure was thinking. Actually, he didn't even care about it.

So John continued his sneak towards it.

Alright. You finally showed up you son of a bitch, John thought, Time to give me answers.

John got closer and closer until the figure exhaled, scaring John and causing him to dropped his knife.

"You really think using that weapon would put me an end to me?" spoked the mysterious figure for the first time.

John froze and stared at the hooded figure. His voice sounded like Xehanort from KH:BBS, but with more grudge into it. It surprised John so much that he imagined himself pissing himself in public. (Somehow)

"I guess the answer is no," continued the mysterious figure.

John snapped out of his weird thoughts of pissing himself and asked the first question that came out of his mind.

"Who are you?" he asked angrily.

"Yetson is the name, John," the figure chuckled.

"How did you know my name?"

Yetson chuckled more before he spoke, "Oh, I've known you for a long time."

John was getting confused by Yetson's response.

"For a long time? You're weirder than I thought."

"Hmm. You may say what you want, but the fact doesn’t change."

John was even more confused than ever before.

"But I never even met you before?"

"Trust me. I know."

Yetson turned around and faced the human. John immediately pointed his knife towards the figure as his reaction. The figure chuckled as John was getting more angry.

"I told you," chuckled Yetson, "That weapon won't do any harm."

John stood still for awhile till he lowered his knife. He face remained the same.

"Why did you do those things?" John finally popped the question. "The schoolhouse, the hospital, the Ursa-Major."

Yetson didn't respond to the question.

"Let me say it again. Why did you do these things?"

The figure crossed his arms and sighed.

"Why aren't you telling me?"

"LOOK!" Yeston raised his voice, "IF YOU WANT TO FIND THE ANSWER, ASK THE PRINCESS!"

Yetson's voice shivered John's spine. He was sure that Yetson was serious and angry.

"The princess? What does she have to do with this?" John questioned.

"She who knows information about me... and him."

Yeston pointed at John, the human had a feeling that he might trick or something. So, John made the decision to seek what was behind him.

"I want you to meet Princeton, my servant."

A unicorn stood where Yetson was pointing, wearing a dark red robe. The look on Princeton's face was nothing but serious. The unicorn started to walk towards his master, past John. Along the way, John stared at the serious unicorn as he passed by him. Something about the unicorn felt familiar. John had a feeling that he had seen him before, he just couldn’t place where or when. The more he stared at him, the more it bothered him.

"Master, it's almost done," said Princeton.

"What's almost done?" wondered John.

Yetson looked at his servant as Princeton reached him.

"We can't tell you," said Princeton, "It's a surprise."

"Sorry, but surprises from villains don't end well."

"Like your mother."

...

"What did you say?" asked John. His voice was getting a bit deeper.

Yetson doesn't reply the question.

"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU SAY!?!?!" John raised his voice as he hits a nearby bookshelf, causing the books to fall.

"Like...your...mother," Yetson replied slowly.

"Like your mother? LIKE YOUR MOTHER?! Who the fuck think you are!?"

"I'm Yetson of course," said Yetson jokingly.

John grabbed his knife and immediately threw it at Yetson. However, Princeton captured the knife by his magic and puts it down. Yetson chuckled as John was getting more angry.

"You never talk to my mother that way, you son of a bitch!!!" yelled John as he started towards Yetson.

As John went closer, Princeton tackled him down. Both of them wrestled very rough. Yeston started to laugh evil as the two creatures wrestled, causing more damage to the library. Seems funny how all of these noises are not waking anyone up at all. Guess that everyone was knocked out from the party.

John then managed to escaped Princeton from wrestling and continued to ran towards Yetson. Just he about to get Yetson, the figure disappeared within less then a second. John stopped and began to looked around the damage library.

"Where the fuck are you?!" yelled John, "Get back here, so I can kick your ass!"

"Oh John, I wish I can stay, but Princeton and I have some things to do." said Yetson. "However, I wouldn't waste your energy on me just yet. Wait till it's time."

"Say what you want, but it you’re just proving that you're a pussy!"

"Man, you're attitude is much higher than I expected."

"Yetson!"

Yetson doesn't respond.

"Yetson!"

"He's gone," said Princeton, "You won't find him in Ponyville."

John turned around and saw the servant walking towards him.

"I would do as he says and prepare."

"For what?" asked John.

"You'll find out soon enough."

Princeton began to walked towards the door. John watched him go as Princeton drew nearer to the door. Then, he stopped and turned around.

"If you're wondering when it's time, just wait til the sun and the moon no longer shine," said Princeton with a serious tone, "During that time, another human will come with another Alicorn."

John seemed unpleased with Princeton's predictions.

"I guess your time is almost here and so is theirs."

Princeton walked out to the door, leaving the teenager alone in the messy library. John looked down and thought about what they had said.

My time is almost here...

Another human...

The sun and the moon no longer shine...

Ask the Princess...

The truth...

As John thought about those words, he seemed to noticed that the library was a mess.

"I caused this much damage, yet nobody just to seem to never hear the loud noises."

***

Meanwhile, at the palace in Canterlot, Princess Celestia sat by the fireplace in her room. She stared gloomily into the cheerful fire before her.She hadn’t been herself for the past few weeks. She acted disconnected to her subjects, she hadn’t attended any royal meetings, and every time when a pony asked why she was acting the way she was, she denied that she was. Her sister had noticed her strange behavior, but never raised any questions, not wanting to bother her about it. It was a matter of time before anything could happen.

As she sat by the fireplace, the princess began to think about the possibilities of telling the truth.

Is this how it's supposed to go? Princess Celestia thought, How am I suppose to tell the others about this?

Why now?

How can this be?

A single tear came rolling down her cheek, dropping to the plush carpet. The princess wanted somepony to tell. Anypony would be good for her.

"If it isn't my old friend Princess Celestia."

Princess Celestia turned her attention to the voice by the door. There stood a unicorn, hooded in a black robe However, her face remained the same.

"Please, I want to be alone," gloomed the princess.

"Come now, Celestia. Why are you so gloomy?" asked the hooded pony.

"Please. Leave."

"Princess Celestia, it's me."

The hooded pony took off it's hood and revealed it's face to the princess. The gloomy princess looked at the male unicorn, but looked away from the colt. As she turned away, the unicorn started to walked closer to the princess.

"You don't remember me," said the unicorn.

"I'm sorry, but I don't recall you," said the princess sadly.

"If you can't remember me, then I guess that I'll tell everypony your secret."

Princess Celestia looks at the unicorn.

"What secret?" asked the princess.

"That you eat cakes like a pig," the unicorn laughed.

The princess stand up and looked at the male unicorn with a angry face.

"At least I enjoy them," said the angry princess, "Besides, the only pony who knows that secret is Zer-"

The princess stopped and a closer look at the male pony. He was smiling when she was about to say that name. It taken her about three seconds to realized that the pony in front of her was the only pony who knew the secret.

"Zerj...is that...you?" sniffed Princess Celestia.

The pony nodded.

"You're alive!?" said Princess Celestia as she hugged Zerj, "How can it be?"

Zerj let go of Princess Celestia and gave a gentle smile.

"After the horrible incident, I woke up in the Everfree Forest, not knowing how I got there. I tried to teleport out but I ended up in the same spot where I woke up," said Zerj, "So, for the past 16 years, I was stranded in the forest, with no pony to talked to."

"My goodness! But you know magic," said Princess Celestia.

"I know, but if I used magic, creatures will be attacking me 24/7. Besides, I nearly forgot most of my magic spells overtime."

Princess Celestia chuckled and hugged Zerj again.

"Oh, I missed you so much," cried Princess Celestia.

"I know." said Zerj. "I was gone for too long."

After one minute of silence...

"So how did you manage to get out of the Everfree Forest?" asked the princess.

"Well, I was looking for plants I could eat about a week ago day when a Hydra decided that I looked tasty, and started to chase after me. It took me about three hours before I lost the creature and ended up outside of the forest in the middle of nowhere. I tried to find anypony for the directions to Canterlot until I found railroad tracks. It taken me about five days to get here. Along the way, some generous ponies gave me food and clothes. It was nice of them to give me theses things, otherwise I'll be stinky and hungry," said Zerj.

Princess Celestia nodded as Zerj finished his story. She gave him another hug. The princess was happy, and so was Zerj.

"My old friend, you went through enough as it is," said Princess Celestia, "Is there anything that I can do?"

Zerj thought about the possibilities from the princess. He thought many things from something small to really big. And guess what he chose.

Or perhaps asked, "What happened during these past years?"
