Fable 2: Equestrian Cove

(Days till the end of the world: 5)

The beast in Sparrow's head had spoken to another being in Sparrow's sleep, another evil deity.

Nightmare.

The Crawler had struck a deal with Nightmare, if they joined each other they could take Equestria that much faster.

And that's just what they did.

What was once The Crawler and Nightmare, was now one powerful evil force.

The Night Crawler (I couldn't think of anything else)

PART EIGHT: THE NIGHT BELONGS TO THOSE WHO CRAWL

Sparrow didn't sleep, he thought he did, but he didn't. Instead he stayed up all night sharpening his blade with a whet stone.

"Sparrow? What are you doing?" Trixie asked, freshly awake.

"I don't know!" Sparrow shouted unintentionally. Sparrow put the stone and his blade away, noticing his hands in the process. The lines had gone from a deep blue to an evil, glowing black.

"What the hell...." He whispered. He walked into the bathroom and looked into the mirror, the area around his eyes had gotten darker as well.

"Are you okay?" Trixie called from the other room.

"Y-yeah, just...fine." Sparrow coughed. "I'm going to go see where Prince ran off to," Sparrow tossed a small blue emblem to Trixie, "This is a guild seal, it lets us talk telepathically from anywhere."

"That's neat. While you find him, I'm just going to wander around Canterlot." Trixie started brushing her mane.

"You could come with me if you want." Sparrow suggested.

"No, I have some business to attend to." Trixie put her hat on and started towards the door. "I'll be at the library at six in the afternoon, met me there if you could."

"Is the great and powerful Trixie asking," Sparrow was interrupted by a massive coughing fit, "me...on a date?" Sparrow put on a small grin.

"Are you getting sick?"

"No, I can't get sick, I'm not able to get sick." Sparrow coughed again. "I'm fine. I'm going to go find Prince. See you at the library." Sparrow walked out the door and, without realizing, flipped himself over the guard rail. "Just fine..."

Sparrow asked around Canterlot for Prince's location and eventually got a straight answer.

He was in the castle.

"What *cough* could he possibly be doing there?" Sparrow thought aloud.

On his way to the castle he saw Twilight trying to cheer Shining Armor up. "Shining...it was just a fight, nothing to get upset over. Oh," Twilight notices Sparrow, "it's him."

"Hey...whatever your names are, have you seen, what's his name...Prince, have you seen Prince lately?" Sparrow slapped himself. "What is wrong with me..."

"That idiot got absolutely, as Rainbow Dash would say, 'blasted', meaning he got very, very drunk. I saw him stumbling with Applejack towards the castle." Twilight says angrily.

"Who are you? Who is Applejack?" Sparrow coughed up a small amount of black goop. "What the hell..."

"I'm fine. I'm fine! GODDAMMIT I SAID I'M FINE! STOP ASKING ME THAT!" Sparrow boomed, louder than the RCV.

"Don't yell at my sister!" Shining shouted. "You really need to calm-"

Shining flew back several feet as a result of Sparrow smashing him in the nose.

"Lucian! How did you get here! Oh god....everyone is dead...Ha! What a funny little pony..." Sparrow spit a larger amount of goop onto the ground.

"Sparrow, what are you doing!?!?" Twilight screamed. Sparrow looked over to Twilight and saw someone entirely different.

He saw Rose.

"Rose..." Sparrow fell to his knees. "I thought you were gone..." He shed a tear before standing and doing a back-flip. "I could really go for some fruit, maybe a banana, no pears though, pears are horrible, I hate pears."

"Why in the name of Celestia did you punch me for!" Shining shouted.

"I don't know, that wasn't me. I couldn't control myself, but, I'm fine now. I'm truly, truly sorry about punching you as well." Sparrow's pupils dilated. "Everyone will perish by the claws of the Night Crawler! Three days, little ponies, three days till the end of your days! Take heed and prepare for a horrendous massacre!" Sparrow coughed up more goop. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!"

Sparrow slapped himself before running off towards the castle. "Something odd is going on...BANANAS! What the hell is happening to me..."

Sparrow found Prince's room by asking around some more. "Prince? Are you in there?" He knocked on the door. "Hellllooooooo?"

He opened the door, well, forced it open.

"Prince what are you doing?"

Lets see.

1) Son is in a bed with a pony

2) Messy room

3) Heavy smell of alcohol.

Thinking...

Thinking...

Thinking...

"Holy shit you slept with a pony!"
