chapter 6: The Song

As the world falls apart,the beast shall rise again.

He'l send your souls to hell

He'l send your heads to the skys

The devils smile is the last you see, Our beast god will not sleep

Till there is no life left

and The beastking shall lead us back to hell

For the true terror lives in our sins.........

.....let it all fade away....or have it burn us for an eternity.

............................

Applebloom awoke in a daze and yawned. She found both of her friends asleep next her. She took notice to her surroundings and couldn't remember how they got there? She suddenly felt tears rolling down her face. Confused she tried waking up her sleeping friends. "come on girls wake up" she nudged them until she heard a strange sound coming from the blowing wind that vaguely sounded like a whispering voice. she looked around hoping to find the source of the sound but couldn't see anyone else. The sound suddenly got louder sounding less of a whisper and more of a distant scream. Then from out of nowhere she felt a wisp of air blow in her direction

"Dread sees you....."

Hearing the voice gave her a sudden fear. Her eyes widened, cold sweat ran down her face, she breathed furiously, and then…a  song played in her head. Suddenly everything that had happened came back in a flash. The earthquake, the maniacal laugh, the reason for being at the crater, the familiar giggling and the  wide nightmarish yellow smile she remembered seeing before passing out. Her two friends had suddenly arisen from their sleep. She shook her head until she got the expression of fear off her face. She didn't want her friends to know "hey AppleBloom what are you doing?" Scootalo yawned. AppleBloom was about to answer when she was cut off by the giggling.

They straightened up faster than when they fainted the memories came back yet they had no clue what was it they saw yet they remember the giggling. They were terrified and ran off but were suddenly cut off by the giant sides of the crater so they closed their eyes and waited for it to come.......

"Hi."

The crusaders screamed before cowering in fear. Then looking up, they sighed in relief when it was just Pinkie Pie. "What are you three doing down here? Ouu are you here to play in the hole too?" they stared at their pink friend in confusion. Why would anyone want to play around in a hole this size? they thought. Yet here she was rolling and jumping around like it was a giant soft bed. "uh pinkie how can ya like this giant hole it's too dark and deep?" said Applebloom raising her hoofs and pointed to everything surrounding them. "Not to mention really scary" added Sweetie bell. Pinkie Pie just answered "it feels like a giant fluffy cloud and it makes me feel all special inside!" she kept bouncing around playfully and the girls just kept getting more and more confused. Scootalo Broke the silence "she's just being Pinkie Pie" and the other two agreed.

They started wondering what could have made a hole this size while at the same time thinking it might get them their cutie marks "maybe a meteor?" Applebloom asked " if a meteor had crashed here ponies would have already seen it." Scootalo replied "then what else could make a hole this big?" asked Sweetie Bell "maybe a pony?" Pinkie Pie randomly added out of nowhere. "how can a pony do this" said AppleBloom "well I saw one land right here." She said pointing at a spot that had a print almost looked like a pony. From the size they could tell the pony was big "wait howd you know it was a pony?" asked AppleBloom.

Pinkie Pie smiled "well while I was walking to the place where Rainbow Dash was, the air started going really really fast to where I was going" as she went on she twirled and laughed "everything was going so fast that I had to hold onto a tree, it was getting really scary!" she said "than the wind stopped…." She stopped dancing and suddenly looked at the sky "when I thought everything was over, an amazing giant hole formed in the sky, it was colorful and pretty then my tail twitched and I saw something fall from the hole" when she said this she jumped into the air and landed on her back giggling "it was falling super duper fast and when I saw that it was a pony I wanted to go over there and say hi.Only I couldn't because the ground started shaking and this big blast of air made me go flying away so I never got to see who it was." The girls thought hard about it and then Applebloom remembered "wait remember when we were at school and there was this loud laugh i remember seein a black tail before it disappeared." said Applebloom, suddenly Pinkies pie face lit up.

"OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH maybe he's still here in ponyville, I cant wait to throw a welcome party!"with that the four climbed back up the sides and headed for ponyville. AppleBloom still had that terrible song going in her head "whats is that?"

Tavo was trotting down the road that lead to the library, after asking directions from a nervous pony. When he got there he stared at it with interest " how'ed they get a tree that size to be a library?…. then again how is there unicorns and Pegasus who talk and acted like people I don't know?" after saying that he walked up to the door and knocked.

Twilight was still searching for anything about a giant grayish blue stallion in all her books and could never find anything. Even though she thought that it wasn't real she still had to look in case it was. "I find a book lying in the middle of a mess with no author and only three pages written and still nothing about it or the king exist anywhere in any book!" as she was about to give up, a sudden fear came over her then she heard knocking from her front door "coming." she said. Right before opening the door she felt like something was about to happen, something bad. She hesitated for a moment before opening the door. When she opened it to greet the pony, her eyes widened at the giant pony in front of her. just like the book said she thought. Her fears were coming to life as the giant king of beasts stood right in front of her. then "hello, my names Ta-!"

Before he could finish his sentence The lavender unicorn yelped and slammed the door in his face. Finally someone acts normal he thought She was the first one to actually react like anyone in his world would, for once it didn't confuse him. he turned and started walking when suddenly the door opened and the same pony who yelped sheepishly peered out of her door. "please come in."

She didn't understand why but when she slamed the door she suddenly felt anxious and nervous like it was a mistake to close the door.

When he walked in, he was an exact match of the thing in the book. Grayish blue, black mane and tail, as tall as the The princess  book said, had the giant smilling scar that reached behind his ears, had no color in his eyes only blackness, had scars all over his body, and a cutie mark of a large blood stained knife. That was all she could confirm but she assured her self that it could just be coincidence. Yet she still had to be sure that it was. As she was thinking of a question to ask him, she observed him looking at her map of Equestria.

As Tavo study the map he noticed one giant portion of the map is covered by a forest called Everfree. He was more interested in the name than the actual forest itself "What kind of a name is that?" he asked himself without noticing Twilight watching him. "Hey, whats your name?" he asked "My name is Twilight Sparkle" acting calm "Twilight Sparkle can I ask you a question?" asked Tavo which alarmed Twilight

"I guess?".

"Good, I wanted to ask you something about this forest called Everfree?"

"what would you like to ask?".

"why is it called Everfree?"

Twilight had always known a lot about the Everfree forest but she'd never bothered to look about how it got it name. "Honestly I don't know, Everfree is a mysterious place that just isn't normal." said Twilight "what do you mean by that?" he asked "well, everything that we make, it creates by itself." Tavo didn't know what she meant "What do you ponies do exactly?" Twilight was a little surprised to hear this "Well, we cultivate our own Plants and fruit, and decide what weather should the day be while the Everfree forest just does it all on its own its just not normal." said Twilight "seems normal to me" this confused Twilight "why is it normal to you?" she asked. Tavo hesitated "well, where I come from things like forests making its own plants and weather acting on its own was normal, however I've never heard of ponies deciding what weather a day Should have." replied Tavo "Oh not regular ponies, the Pegasus ponies decide on what the weather would be" "so what do unicorns do?" he asked "Oh, we use our magic to do our jobs here?" Tavo suddenly hesitated "wait you use magic?" she got confused "uh yes, we've always used magic" he didn't believe her

"show me."

"what?"

"show me what this magic looks like?"

"o…k…" she hesitated. She concentrated her magic, her horn started glowing with energy and all the books levitated off the shelves and reorganized back into their shelves while a few remained suspended in the air.

Tavo couldn't believe his eyes. " that was amazing!" She felt humbled herself even though it was only a small amount of magic. He didn't look impressed though but she remembered something in the book about him not being able to smile. " I think I understand now…" he said, she grew interest "understand what?" she asked listening more attentively

"I understand why its' called Everfree forest now…"

"why?"

"Because Everfree, is truly Foreverfree." this got her excited, she never thought about it that way but Everfree Forest was Foreverfree from the boundaries that other forests had. "How did you know it was called that?" she asked "well where i come from i always dreamed about freedom." This puzzled her and there was a long moment of silence  "well I better get out of your hair and let you go back to whatever so ill be leaving" before he could leave Twilight stepped in front of him. she had finally figured out what she wanted to ask "um, Tavo where did you get that scar on your face?' she pointed to the smile stitched on his face. The memory about how he got it made him feel sorrowful. "it's uh personal." he said looking down "oh …well I be glad to see you again soon" with that they begged fair well and Tavo walked out of the Library with that feeling over him.

Twilight was still watching him before he disappeared and wondered where he came from and if he was the same stallion in the book. Just then Scootalo came racing by in her scooter and stopped near Twilight "oh hi Scootalo, what are you up to today" she asked "Me and the others are going out giving invitation's to a surprise party. Oh by the way, here's yours" Scootalo handed Twilight an invitation to the party. She was afraid to ask who the party was for

"who's the party for?"

"the new stallion in ponyville."
