As the nightwalker stepped closer to the hunters, silence hang in the air. No creatures could be heard as the vampire's blood-lust aura were no longer contained like she normally did. She wanted the hunters to feel despair, to feel true terror as they faced their end, and that they did. The four ponies were visually shaken under the cloaks and armour. All of them felt the weight of murder on them as a pair of red glowing eyes looked them over.

The leader shook his head and tried to clear out the fright he felt, and turned to his fellow hunters. “Pear, Vial, you two flank the vampires sides while Light and me charge it from the front,” Getting the attention of everyone. “Alright, let's go.”

He never got the chance to implement his plan as a hand clammed around his neck and forcefully lifted him so his hooves no longer touched the ground under him. His three other stood in chock and fright at the creature before them.

Their target 'Fluttershy' had instantly changed her form infront of them as soon their leader had turned around. They have never seen a creature like this before, even though it stood like a Minotaur, or a Diamond Dog it looked nothing like either. It stood on it's hindlegs at about 11 hoofs tall and had no fur except on it's head. Long black hair that reached it's hindlegs, white skin and toned muscles. But worst of all were those glowing eyes, watching them like it were staring into their very souls.

All hunts begin with a understanding of the beast. How it works, how it thinks, attacks and defends itself. Everything a member of the Knights of Light needs to know in order to get home safely. But… in all of their lives they have never encountered something like this, and it terrified them.

“Not so mighty now with your little name-calling, when you can't breath,” Marian said with a slight hint in her voice as she turned the pony towards her, not minding at all with his limps flailing about her. Making sure that he were looking at her eyes and nowhere else she took a breath, and began.

“Now little hunter, how did you find me?” Her glowing eyes bore into his, locking them in place. The stallion in her grip gasped for air as she lessened the hold on him, but still holding him off the ground.

His flailing stopped as soon as it had begun, his pupils slunk and his body began to

tremor as if the smallest amount of electricity was forcing his muscles to stiffen. His will, completely gone from the terror in her eyes.

“We are, everywhere. We saw you attack a pony in the nightclub last night, so, we followed you, and waited for you to be alone.” He said with fright clear in his voice. Marian looked away from his eyes to the other hunters, seeing that they have not moved like they were petrified where they stood. She could smell the distinct odor of urine in the air, giving a glance at the mare farthest away.

While the nightwalker was distracted, the leader had many years ago learned to adapt to the differences between monsters and ponies. Most are stronger, faster and more resilient than any pony, and with that arrogance came their downfall. He quickly composed himself as he silently slipped a knife out from his armour, and make a up-ward cut to get away from her. It worked as she gave a surprised yelp by the attack and let go of the stallion.

He landed on his hooves and jumped back a few tail-lengths, and shouted. “BE BRAVE MY BROTHERS, WE SHALL BE VICTORIOUS TONIGHT-” Breaking them out of their stupor, and readying themselves with blades of various sizes. “-NOW, FOLLOW THE PLAN AND LET'S KILL A-”

His voice was silenced as his head were cut from his body. In a blink of an eye the vampire had moved, grown long razor-sharp claws which it speared the pony with it's one hand, and with the other, severed his neck.

The two hunters in the back gave out a shocked cry as they realized what had happened, setting off the last hunter as he gave out a battle-cry of his own and ran towards the beast with no care for tactic, he raised his longsword with his magic and swung it with the weight of a mountain behind it. Only for it hit the ground as his target had simply moved one step out of his way, and with similar action ended his life. As his body's nerve system hadn't realized itshead was now behind it, it ran for a few feet before slowing down, and fell to the ground.

Marian gave a small amused smile as she watched the corpse move as far as it did. It have been a long time since she had seen it happen last, but it never stops being entertaining. She let her out a abnormally long tongue, and tilted the speared body like a vine glass, and drank the glorious, crimson fluid. Not caring one bit that she couldn't drink it all fast enough, as it spilled all over her face and ran down her naked body. Drenching her completely as her pale skin got turned into a deep red.

She moaned in her ambrosia, twisted and hugged the headless pony as she let her fangs sink into the warm flesh. She was lost to her primal desires for all but a moment, and didn't even feel the cut of the blade until she had drained her feedbag.

The body hit the ground with a thud as she turned to the hunter to her side, one of of the last two remaining had composed herself enough to attack the monster. She wielded a long dagger with her mouth, and swiftly changed her position with ease. She speedily sidestepped and flanked the vampire, letting her dagger guide the rest of the way.

The vampire didn't even flinch as the blade bore into her leg, and violently grabbed the mare's face and hosting her up like a fish out of water. Smiling at the pony she pulled her in so her long bloody fangs were at her neck.

“My my, how impressive. I must say that, you,” She used a claw and podded her chest, making quite sure that the hunter knew who she spoke about. ”Know how to make me smile,” Feeling her skin under the fur she made a few slow scratches. “I hope you don't mind, that,” She whispered into her ear. “I return the gesture.”

The hunter stiffened at the moment the fangs went into her upper neck, sinking fear and pain for at short moment before it turned into joy and bliss. The pony squirmed and she moaned in her newfound pleasure as her lifeblood was rabidly being consumed.

The last of the hunters sat petrified, watching the horror that was happing infront her. Within her mind were a voice that screamed at her with all of it's strength to stand and run, run far and run fast. Anywhere but here would be better, the blazing hell of The Badlands, the frozen tundra to the North. Even Tartarus would be a better place than this.

Her reality fell apart when she saw her brothers head on the ground, her beloved brother she grew up with, played games with. Her poor little brother that she loved teasing and pulling pranks on. Her little brother that wanted this life, to help the common pony by hunting monsters. Their promise to each-other the day the joined the Knights of Light, to watch each-other, make sure they both got home.

She didn't even notice that tears ran down her cheeks, she couldn't hear for the drumming in her ears. Numb to her feelings, she couldn't feel her rump and hindlegs being soaked and dirtied by her wetting herself. She didn't see the monster toss the empty body and walk up to her. She only felt the turn of her neck as the claws forced her tear filled eyes up into the glowing crimson orbs. Like a snake she brought her other claws over her head and started to stroke her hair in a slow controlled fashion, like she was petting a loved doll.

Those crimson glowing eyes, thats all the little hunter could see. That's all she could focus on as they tranced her like a moth to a flame, ever slightly losing sight of the world around her till nothing but the glow remained. She felt so weak, so tired. Like waking up far to soon, limps barely holding her up. Her mind quickly becoming silent, numb to the world. Only thing she could see, was the glowing orbs infront of her.

“Listen well, my little hunter,” A voice said, seemingly from everywhere at the same time. “I will ask you questions, and if I feel you lie to me I will kill you. Do you understand?” She knew it was making a threat, but she couldn't help to feel at peace. The voice was smooth like velvet, soft like a heavy blanket. A voice so mesmerising, she can't help but strive toways it.

She knew not how much time went by, but it felt only for a moment. All these questions she answered, went past her in a blur. Her name, why she joined the Knights', and many others like it. But one stood out from the rest, one that she can't seem to remember even as she heard it. A question that was asked to the base of all creatures, a question that all have a answer to as soon they hear it.

She opened her mouth when told, and felt a cold, taste of iron being poured down her throat. She nearly vomited as she swallowed the vile liquid, almost instantly after her gag reflex acted up it went away. The taste changed so fast that the disgusting taste from before, could be explained as a false memory. It was delicious, a taste so rich that no food nor drink could compare. She let out her tongue catch the taste of heaven, her body not risking letting a drop go to waste. She never wanted it to stop, she let the darkness slowly close in until that's t were her world and she loved every single moment of it.

____________________________________________

The moon shone high in the sky as it have ever since the mistress of the night have returned form her banishment. The beauty of the night have become more and more clear for each passing day, the painter of the dark sky were beginning to get her grasp for her canvas as she once had so many years back.

The princess of the night stood her balcony overlooking the city of Canterlot, admiring the view of the white city as it were slowly was going to sleep under her many stars. This view is still strange to her, this grand city were her subjects sleep, work and enjoy the wonders of life. The last time she saw a sight like this it were in the old castle grounds of the Everfree with her sister, but that was much, much smaller. No city lay at the hoof of the castle, no advanced city that her subjects still is awake through the night.

This world is so different from the one she once knew, so many things both old and new, words before and after her banishment. Everything have have a new meaning, even her own language feels so alienated in this 'new' world that she had to reintegrate into.

The was a small knock from within her room, just loud enough for her to hear out on the balcony. With a last look at the view of the sky she sighed and walked inside to answer the door.

Opening the door she saw her sister waiting with a little smile on her face, her eyes tired from a long day. “Sister, evening. What art thou doing knocking on our chamber door?” Which made the princess of the day to roll her eyes.

“Luna, you really need to work on your old speech, only few ponies speak that way anymore let alone understand,” She tried to look inside her room. “May I come in?”

“Yes, yes please enter sister,” Luna stepped aside to let her sister in, closing the door after her. She observed her as Celestia walk in and looked around in a glance. “Dear sister, should thou not be asleep? Haven't thou had a long day.”

“Oh Lulu, I wanted to see you before I turned in for tonight,” She walked up to her and wrapped a wing around her, hugging her. “It's been two weeks that you returned, and I have barely seen you. Is it so strange of me to spend some time with my sister?” The white alicorn asked with a fake hurt look in her eyes, making Luna flinch and look away.

“Lulu, I miss you. Every day I want to see you, talk and spend time with you. I want to know how you are doing, and what you thinking. I want us be family again,” She said while hugging her a little tighter, and nuzzled her. “And I wouldn't mind losing some beauty sleep if I can talk to my sister.”

Luna gave a little smile, looking up at her older sister. “Thank thee sister. We have missed thou as well, I wouldn't mind if we conversed a little before thee retire for the night,” Nuzzling her back before breaking off the hug. “Would thou like some fresh beverage? We have tea.”

“I would love to, what kind of tea is it?”

Luna walked over to a tall tea-table made in dark oak like the most of her furnitures in this room, and poured two cups of warm tea. Levitating the cups she offered one to Celestia which took it her own magic, and took a sip and smiled.

“This tea is nice, is it a Zebrainich mix?” She asked, curiously intrigued. In the past the sisters always tried new foods and drinks and guess where it came from. A game that they have slowly begun to pick up again with each meeting.

“Ye close sister. 'Tis a Gryphon brew from the southern parts,” She gave a small smirk. “It's called Dream Wind, according to the our maid it should calm the mind and give peace to thine body.”

Celestia took a small sip and looked at her little sister with a sad look in her eyes. “Do you feel lost sister?” Luna didn't answer and simply stared at the tea, her ears hang a little lower. “It must be difficult to adjust, the world have changed a lot since… your time here. But don't be discouraged, you must see the world with new eyes and experience it with heart,” The elder sister said seeing through Luna's attempt at being strong, with anypony else she would have convinced them, but not her sister. “I will always be by your side Lulu, and that will never change again.”

Luna drifted her eyes up, looking into her dear sister light magenta eyes. She had always trusted her sister, even in her time in madness she knew Celestia would never lie to her. A weak smile donned her muzzle, and let out a heavy sigh.

“Ye right sister, we have been confusing by this day and age. The ponies that we rule over know us not, and those who do fear us… Even their tongue is so different that we can not converse, earlier this day one of our maids were confused by our way of speaking-” She put down her cup. “Doth thee know what thats like? When thy subjects speaks thou language but understands not what thee are saying? This world have changed, and we haven't.”

Silence hang in the air as only one of the sister looked at the other, both filled with regret and for different reasons. This time Celestia couldn't keep her eyes on her sister's as memories of an entire millenia without her dear counterpart.

“We think, that we need to be alone for the evening. We have many thoughts to process,” Luna spoke up. “We appreciate that thou are trying to do,” She gave a little smile with wetting eyes. “Sister, we need to be alone at the moment. We will pick this up on morrow eve…”

Celestia simply nodded and rose with damp eyes of her own. “Yes Luna, you take your time. I will always be here for you, I love you, and good night,” She said before closing the door after her, leaving the dark princess in her bedroom, sitting quietly at the table with tears rolling down her cheeks.

“I love, you too, sister,” She whispered to her self, feeling the guilt of everything that happened. Her madness, her turning on her sister. Celestia have told her that all is forgiven and they should move forward together, but still… Luna can't leave the feeling behind that she have only slowed down her sister. She would have been better off if she had never come back.

Standing she dragged her hoofs to the balcony, she wiped her tears away before looking at the sky once again. She needed to clear her head, and this place wasn't helping. The princess of the night opened her wings and took flight, anywhere but here is better tonight.

_____________________________________________

It was close to midnight when I found of small river a little mile from the village, the moon at it's highest bathing me in it's silver light. The river ran past Ponyville and into the great forest of the Everfree, threes standing close to the shore in bushes of 3 or 5 together every few hundred feet or so. Giving much room for private moments if one desired so. The water was clean enough for one to see the riverbed, giving the illusion that the river was shallower than it really was. I stepped into the water and walked out till it's deepest point, the water came up till my waist.

The water is cold due to winter only a few months away, but I can't feel it. My dead body can't sense heat or cold, I can't remember the last time I felt any kind of warmth. I only know it was before my first death.

I lowered myself in the dark waters fully to get myself a good rinse, my eyes never closing as the water came over me. I sat on my knees, feeling water still above me. I began to wash my body of the blood from earlier. The water around me quickly became stained with the crimson colour as I got more and more of it off.

Through the water I could see the moon slightly move as I went on, it didn't really bother me that cleaning of the half-dried blood took it's time to come off. It gave me time to think, to meditate. Tonight was close for me to lose myself as I did two nights ago, the Beast inside me always clawing to get out. Always looking for openings to take over, and leave me behind.

I broke the surface as I stood my full hight, water dripping from my torso, my hair clinging to my body… and I silently stood in the light, looking at the moon. Just to fill out the silence around me, I began to hum, humming a melody I knew well.

I let out the tones like a quiet howl to the moon, like a wolf alone and lost from it's pack. It is a sad melody, one I remembered well as the time went on.

I stopped as I heard a snap on the shore, and turned around to see a dark-blue pony. It's head looked from the branch it broke to me with a nervous smile on… her face. I simply standing in the water looking up at her, I gave a warm smile as it usually help the living calm down.

“Hello there little one, is there something that I can help you with?” I asked the pony. Her eyes widen and her mouth falls open for a second before she composing herself with a deep breath, she stands up a bit more confident and returns the smile.

“Fair eve to thee, we hope we do not intrude on thyswim. We merely heard a lovely tone, and desired to see what made it. We hope that thee will forgive us.” She said, her words slightly shakes to the untrained ear as after a crying voice.

“You don't have to apologized, I don't mind the company.” I moved towards her to get up from the waters. She watching me with wonder in her eyes, very much like she never had seen anything like me before.

Droplets falling from my form as I stepped onto the ground, and wetting the dry grass underneath my feet. The wind making my waterlogged hair sway a little in the breeze. My sight never leaving the pony, made me notice something odd about her. Like I have seen before on other ponies having either wings or a horn, but not both. She had however, both, and she were bigger than the rest of the equines that I have seen, by little more than a foot or so. With her horn she is just slightly smaller than I, she could be a special kind of her breed.

“My my, you do look very different from the other ponies that I have seen so far,-” I said with a little laugh. “- who might you be?”

The pony looked up at me with confusion, before coming to the realization. “Per any chance, have thee heard of us?” In which I shook my head. I don't know why, but she looks all the happier that I don't know of her.

“Are you glad that I don't know who you are? Why?”

She gave a sigh and sat down next to a tree looking up at the moon. “We have a reputation in these lands of things we did long ago, so we are just relieved that thou have not heard. It tends to have, negative reactions with the ponies,” She said with a somber voice.

I sat next to her, following her gaze at the silver sun. “It happens to everyone,” She looked at me, about to say something. “All I know, have a secret that they would be frightened to tell. So, it happens. We all have fears, and we all have to deal with them at some point or another.”

She looked at me, listened to what I said. Most likely trying add something to our little conversation, but sighed again. “That is true, we all have done something that none should know. But that is not why we have come, we are quite ignorant of you.”

I gave out chuckle, the way she spoke reminded me of my Sire when he slipped into his old ways of speech. “Yes, and I am of you. But sate thee hunger, I am Marian, I'm new to these lands.”

She gave a little smile, noticing the tone in my voice. “And we are Luna, Princess of these lands that thee are in.”

“A princess, is it required that I bow?” I said, smirking.

She shook her head. “No, It is not, as thee are not a subject of ours. But is would be appreciated,” She matched my smirk, letting me know of her little half-joke. “But yes, we rule along side our sister, Princess Celestia,” She paused for a breath. “But If we may inquirer, why art thee awake at these hours?”

“As you said, I was taking a swim,” I grinned with a chuckle.

“If so, wouldn't it be better to do so in the daytime? It can be quite dangerous this close to the Everfree at night.”

I sighed. “It would be easier, yes,” I lied. “But I do so like the night.”

Luna gasped and she looked up at me with her eyes glistening. “Thou like our night? The work that we do.”

“I love the night, I love everything about it,” I said. With my statement, a tear rolled down of the pony's cheek.

“Why are you crying? Was it something I said?”

She wiped her tears away with a hoof, but even then, they wouldn't stop. “Yes, We never thought anypony would ever adore our nights again after our dreadful wrongdoing. But thou spoke truthfully, we felt it. Thou really do adore our night.”

'What?' My mind caught up with she just said.'Her night? does that mean she controls the night?' She didn't look like she was lying.

“Are you a fae?” I asked nervously, trying to keep my voice from shaking.

She shook her head. “Nay, as we told thee, we are Alicorn. What are fae?”

'Praise the old ones, I would have been in trouble if she were,' I let out a breath that I didn't even knew I held, I looked out at the horizon while hugging myself. “It's nothing, how do you control the night?”

“Both our sister and ourself are magic-born with the ability to move the sun and the moon, tis a task that have been placed on our shoulders many millennia ago. And since then, we have controlled the days and the nights of this world,” She said with a slight melancholy in her voice, as she remembered back to when she were young.

I stood dumbfounded, staring at her like she have grown a second head. “So… you control the moon?” She nodded. “The stars?” She nodded once more, but her smile dropped a bit. “All nights, you can make them as you please?” She sighed.

“Yes, we can make the night as we see fit, we control how much light will be reflected of the moon. How many stars will be out, and how they are placed are also our responsibility,” Luna said as she pointed a hoof at her chest.

For her to prove this claim, I could only think of one thing.

“Prove it.”

She grinned, magic lighting up around her horn in a soft blue hue. ”Thee want to look at the sky for this little presentation,” I looked up to see the stars, normal as I had ever seen them. Until it slowly moved, forming a picture resembling her own head looking down at the world underneath it. Before the stars sped up, cluttering together before an explosion tossing the celestial beings around in the sky till they were in their former place and pattens.

“I can't believe it,” I silently said out loud. Only making Luna giggle a little, snapping me out of my stupor. “You really are the night,” I said, not as a question but as a confirmation. 'This being, is powerful to pull on the moon and stars, powerful enough to bring the day to night. I should be wary of her,' I thought to myself. Nervously glancing at her, hoping that is won't pick up on my fear for her.

“Art thou well? Thee seem a bit shaken,” She said, a bit of worry in her voice and her ears droops a little.

“Y-yes, I am quite well, thank you,” I lied. I'mfighting hard to remain my composure, and not give in to my instincts and run away. “I, just have never thought that anyone could control the night sky like that, so it's a bit shocking to me, thats all.”

She nodded to my statement, but asked. “From where do thee hail, if thee don't mind us asking?”

I sighed and looked away. Trying to come up with a story on the fly would be pointless, and as powerful as she is, she would probably call out a poorly thought-up lie.

“Far away, Luna,” I answered, if not a lie, then not a truth either. “I feel my home is so far away, I no longer believe I can get back,” My voice was soft as the wind slowly, gently making the leaves ruffle in the night. The waters slurping against the banks of the river, and for a short moment, the only sounds were of the surroundings around us.

“Thou song, it were beautiful,” She stated, I only nodded with a small smile. “It lured us here, and here we are, standing with another night-dweller,” I can feel the happiness in her voice almost bubbling at this point. “Would thee be so kind to sing it again? We only heard a bit of it before we interrupted thee, again we apologize.”

I chuckled at her cute requestapology, and raised a hand to scratch her behind the ears. She were a little alarmed as my hand come closer, but it vanished into a sigh of contentment as she closed her eyes. As per her request, I slowly started to sing.

“Fear not this night
You will not go astray
Though shadows fall
Still the stars find their way”

My voice started out slowly as I normally did, but soon swayed by the rhythm the words came out stronger and stronger.

Awaken from a quiet sleep
Hear the whispering of the wind
Awaken as the silence grows
In a solitude of the night

I closed my eyes and let the song guide me as I soon could her the wind going through grass and leaf. Adding sound to my voice, and felt my voice become fuller.

Darkness spreads throughout the land
And your weary eyes open silently
Sunsets have forsaken all
The most far off horizons

By the end of the of the third verse, I was with silent footsteps slowly dancing around. I could outright hear the music in my ears as I continued to sing in the night. One feeling I remember is I loved singing, loved the feeling of others taking part of my joy.

It's not a long song I admit, but I do adore it none the less. I remember the days were the young children came to me, asking for me to sing for them. In all of them I saw joy when I had learned their songs, and so I learned as many songs as they mentioned. For some reason I saw my brothers in them, even more so the nights I sang them to sleep.

As I ended my song I looked back at the pony, sitting silently, looking at me with tears running with a sad smile.

“So, how did you like the song?” I asked, fully knowing the answer. No one in the last fifty years have told me they have been displeased by my songs. I, myself felt much calmer than before, an old treatment I have stuck with for the past many years. Displace whatever troubled me and myself with distractions until a solution were found. I know it's not the best way to manage your problems, but it worked for me… so far.

Luna nodded as she wiped her tears away. “Yes, Tis a beautiful song. It spoke to us, very much like a lullaby to a foal. It reminded us our foalhood, so many years ago. Thank thee,” She said as she gave me a slight bow.

'I don't know why, but the way she talks calms me somehow. I should be wary of mind manipulation, and don't give in to everything my feelings are telling me. I need to stay vigilant for this one. That reminds me, why did I tell Fluttershy that much about myself. It's dangerous for me to slung my being and weaknesses around, it could kill me. I damned fool, it's like I'm a bloody neonate again… But why did I tell her so much?'

“So, why are you here?” I asked

“We, felt like being anywhere than in the castle would be preferable… we haven't had good night so to speak, and believed that a flight would help us feel a little better.”

“Do you still want to fly?”

“No, not at the moment, but this conversation have brought us a bit of joy,” Luna gave a little smile.

I raised a brow, but returned the smile. “Oh, am I that entertaining to speak with?”

“Very much so. we have never seen a being like thouself before, and no less than that thee have never heard of us before. It is most enjoyable to start relations when no requirements are to be met.”

“...Indeed,” I simply said and looked over the plains towards Ponyville.

“But…” Luna started, but stopped herself. Unsure what to ask and how to frame it, she nervously wanted to know, but didn't want to upset her new acquaintance. “What, does thou do normally in a night such as this?”

I hummed for a breath or two while lulling the question over in my head. “Normally, I do what others need of me. But on a clear and beautiful night as this, I like to just indulge myself. A woman needs to treat herself something nice, once in a while,” Giving the Alicorn a sly wink. Her cheeks became a soft shade of rose, but smiled nonetheless of the comment of her night.

“Again,we truly do thank thee for thine love to our night. But what indulgence do thou do to distract thineself from the world?” She asked, again gave me a cute smile. Ever since she felt my love for the night, she hadn't stopped smiling.

“What ever I what!” I say while lifting my arms, like I'm referring to everything around me. “I speak to people, and learn new things. I seek out challenges to better myself, and to see just how wonderful the world is.-” I turn my back to her, and look over my shoulder with a sultry look. “I seek out pleasure in all forms, and I relish life as I watch it pass by.”

Luna were silent for a moment, as she thought about I said. But her brush had deepened when she saw the look I gave her, and averted her eyes from me. She coughed into her hoof, and spoke. “That sounds like a wonderful way to live a life,” She flickered her cyan eyes at mine, before she glanced at the moon.” But we fear that we must be away, we have been away from our duty's for far too long,” She lied, tears threatening to bust again.

The little time Luna have been with her new acquaintances she believe that this being could become a great friend with time. She adored the short time she have been with her so far, but these positive, honest outspoken thoughts are almost too much for the regal princess, and she needs time to accept that maybe, she have just found her first friend in a very long time.

She basked her wings and was airborne, hovering in the dark as it blended in perfectly with her coat and mane.

“We hope that we will talk again, it was, refreshing and very much welcomed.”

I nodded and crossed my arms under my breasts. “Of course, I would like that. Maybe next time we could go out for a walk in the city?”

“That sounds nice,” Her voice straining to keep her composed. “But for now, we must leave. Fare thee well,” And with that, the mare flew up and into the darkened sky, and out of sight.

'Well, now that I'm alone I can do whatever I want. But, what to do?' I thought as I tried to spot the alicorn in the sky, making sure she was indeed gone. 'I need to think about this… having her as an associate could prove to be beneficial. It could give me what I need, but at what price?'

I willed my form to change, and I felt the blood in me to react as I placed my paws on the ground and let it happen. My ears stood upright, twisting in all directions and my nose sniffing as my beast forms are more sensitive to noise and smell. I only smelled the strong scent of Luna flying away, and small critters sleeping nearby.

I slowly started to run, next to the river my legs carried me fast away from the forest. I still needed to see the area in order for me to know my new territory. Into land unknown, there shall be nothing but discoveries for this long dead soul of mine. My eyes flared up by the thought, and I see the world in my day of darkness.
