The sky was rippling with dark skies that were filled to the brim with water. The Pegasi were stroking the clouds gently to help the gaseous elements release their stock of liquids. The air was frigid with a dark intensity as Greymane lay in his bed shivering with confusion. He was curled into a ball, as dark thoughts swirled around in his head.

"Why did they think that I ran away WHY!" he screamed into his pillow.

"How dare they think that I would even run away." His form swirled with energy as he growled into the room.

A stray thought hit him as he slammed his hoof into the bed frame shaking it "What about being a good foal like my brother, I thought that's why I was abandon there!"

"Mother haven't I kept the castle cleaned." He growled at no one."

"Father have I not learnt my manners!" His anger growing causing him to gnash his teeth.

A soft gasp was heard by the mice in the walls but not by the enraged patient ranting in the room. Greymane stood on his legs that shook slightly from fatigue and stress. He approached the closest window to look outside expecting to see his parents glaring at him. What he found only confused him when he found a yellow feather stuck in the corner of the window that smelled familiar.

He held the feather close to his muzzle recognizing the scent as his friend Fluttershy. Shame colored his mottle hide as he released she must have seen him in such a state. he held his head down low as he reined in his emotions, by taking multiple shallow breaths. His Timber spirit growled furiously inside him as it was being suppressed by pure will.

Greymane sighed as he spoke to no one in particular "I need to speak with them for me and ... for them.."

He lay down upon the bed as he held the feather close to his chest. Waiting for his parents to arrive, his heart fluttered as the Timber spirit roared within his heart.

Fluttershy was hovering near Greymane's window unsure of how to enter hesitantly. She peeked in to see her friend pacing in the room, whom appeared to be quite agitated. she floated thinking of what to say when she heard him speak about being abandon.

"It couldn't be, is he the missing foal?" Fluttershy knew the answer was true but was still afraid of it.

Her fang's grew an inch as she fought her fear of the truth, that the missing foal and Greymane are one. She felt anger swelling in her chest as flew away from her muttering friend, determine to find out what happened. The cool temperatures of the evening made it harder for her to fly in the sky. This caused the pegasus to land on the ground while tucking her wings away to find the arriving parents.

Fluttershy realized how late the day was getting as she sniffed a nearby apple stand that attracted her stomach. Evening was sitting as the apple starving pegasi approached Applejack's stand. She noticed that Applejack was in full business mode selling her delicious fruits to passing by ponies. She tipped her hat in her general direction after her last sale.

"Hey there apple tooth, hows my favorite customer doing." Applejack drawled with a smile.

"Umm hi again AJ I was wondering if I could buy some of those delightful apples." She responded quietly with a bit of hunger in her voice.

Applejack only smiled as the sun glistened off her flank, handing over a large crimson apple to her friend. Applejack thought privately as she observed her friend eating the red fruit. This filly looks mighty tired, ah think something is heavy on her mind so she thought. The orange colored earth pony took her dusty hat off to fan herself off in the heat of the evening. Fluttershy savored every bite of the apple as the juice drained into her stomach.

Applejack smiled and said "That's amazing gal the way you enjoy our fruits of labor."

Fluttershy instantly was embarassed " I .. I .. sorr..y Applejack."

"Silly filly nuthing to be redding about dere." Applejack said with a drawl.

Fluttershy chuckled at her dear friend before extending a few bits for a few extra apples. Applejack pulled out her change satchel and exchanged the goods before she asked a question.

"Uh sugar cube anything on ya mind?" She asked with a tinge of worry.

Fluttershy noticed her friend leaning on work stall attempting to not look worried on her behalf. The kind pegasus had a thought or at least a few of them. She thought about how cute it was that her friends take so much time out of their life to check on hers with such passionate worry. Fluttershy leaned in and hugged AJ with a soft squeak leaving her friends mouth with much surprise.

"I am fine AJ, thank you for asking." She said with a slight eye twitch.

Quick to catch in her the middle of a lie Applejack responded "Ya know Fluttershy anytime you wanna chat this ol gal up come see me sugar."

"Ah am always willing to listen suga em's." She added.

"Umm .. ok thank you AJ, I gotta go." Fluttershy took to the sky in a mere moment surprising her friend once again. Fluttershy felt very embarassed as she flew. She thought Am I such an open book that any of my friends can read me I feel very foolish.

Bronze Tail a royal guard of the relic Luna a mysterious object that emits prophecies on full moon lit nights. Was standing with his mouth wide open after a messenger pony just left his presence. His mind was blank with no emotion swelling in his heart giving nearby guard ponies the heebie jeebies. Bronze slammed his jaw shut with an audible snap and rushed into his room to begin packing his items.

His voice was shaky "He is alive thank the lunar relic he is alive!"

Bronze packed all his traveling gear in a matter minutes as if he practiced it doing it a hundred times. He felt prepared to leave but a sudden thought struck his head. I better get permission, surely the captain would let me see my brother or so he thought. He heard a lot of commotion outside his bunker and he rushed to the problem. Upon exiting the room he saw the emergency flare spell in the sky for all guard ponies to see. They were under attack were his thoughts as he ran to his room to prepare.

Guards were running to their positions arming themselves with ranged weapons upon the castle that laid upon craggy mountain. Bronze Tail quickly changed into his Royal guard garb and flung his travelling gear upon his mat. He grabbed up his mighty spear and rushed to defend the castle wall. He saw many guards muttering amongst themselves as they prepared for the oncoming battle. Bronze Tail could hear annoying buzzing sound that made his heart thump even faster.

He looked down the walls to see the invaders and said " Changlings."

Fluttershy deciding to take matters into her own hooves was gonna question the parents of Greymane. She was gonna ask them if they did indeed abandon Greymane in the woods. She felt her vision blurring with tears when she approached them from the air. She landed in some nearby tall grass deciding against her early action when she heard something disturbing.

"I know lord Tirek is still mad about our dear son, but soon we shall rectify that very problem." spoke a slightly chubby noble earth stallion.

"Of course darling I know that you have a very cunning plan in action." The grey mottled mare said with a wicker.

"Greymane will be sacrificed on the next full moon I just need a few more pieces in place." A red glint was seen in the fathers eye.

A horrendous laugh was heard from the mother as she looked her husband in the eye with cruel mirth. She pulled a red comb from her satchel and began brushing his mane rigidly.

"There there my love we will succeed this time and Tirek will be pleased." She said the words as if they were natural to be said.

"Naturally my sweet I shall finish my preparations soon with just a dash of Greymane as my seasoning." He was cajoling about his plan.

Fluttershy went straight into bat instincts and flew into the night silently towards her destination in a panic. She had held her in breath during that conversation and felt nauseated by his former parents. Her mind was racing, those are the cruelest parents that she had ever met. I can NOT let these ponies fulfill their plan. She thought, what can I do by myself there must be something I can do. Fluttershy flew in the sky towards a destination she thought was best.

She landed on Rarity's roof softly with a quicken pace towards her pegasus entrance. She knocked three times on the special door before a faint magical glow opened the door for her. Standing at the doorway was a beautiful white mare with her face covered in green goo. She had a impatient look in her eye but she knew it was Fluttershy.

"Dear please come in, tell me whats wrong." Rarity said as she ushered in her dear friend.

Fluttershy took a deep breath reeling in her Bat pony power before entering her friends home. She felt that it was rude to be in her night form when she was visiting friends. She then followed Rarity down the stairs into the attic which then in turned lead into the mares bedroom. Rarity then sat in a chair while inspecting her friend in silence waiting for her to speak.

Fluttershy took a big gulp of air and spoke softly " I ... know THAT those ponies are bad bad ponies."

This startled Rarity as she observed her friend " Which ponies exactly my dear."

"Those horrible ponies pretending to be Greymanes parents." Fluttershy sputtered slowly.

"How so Fluttershy what evidence do you have?" Rarity said while formulating a plan in her head.

"I overheard them when I was about to question them about our earlier conversation and and they said.." Fluttershy took a moment to breathe before continuing.

"They belong to the Tirek cult and believe that by sacrificing ponies like their son, they might gain some kind of favor with the evil." She said proudly with a tinge of anger in lips.

"Fascinating Fluttershy that is good information but if we are to turn them over to any authorities with we need concrete evidence something more physical." Rarity said with a conniving grin.

Rarity quickly dashed into wardrobe throwing clothes about as she searched for something. Fluttershy saw a old power pony outfit and a few of her camo mauds clothes tossed pass her head. She then spotted a Apple costume from last year that really caught her eye encouraging her appetite. Rarity then came to a sudden stop, she then pulled out a black and red hooded robe with a distinct mark. That symbol was that of Tirek and she smiled.

"Ah ha that's how I can investigate those parents." She said with a triumphant grin.

Greymane heard a few taps at his hospital door, before a nurse came in with two older ponies. The room went dead quiet not a sound was made. The older stallion step forward with the mare behind him brushing some crumbs off his shirt which was slightly ruffled. He stared hard at the pony on the bed who stared back with near disbelief. He thought Is this my father he has aged so poorly hasn't mother been taking care of father?

"This is not my son nurse no way this ... creature is my foal." He said with disgust.

But the mare quickly hushed the husband "No honey look at his eye that is our ... son."

"How is that even possible look at his body look at his legs!" The husband raised his voiced and went on " Even his coloring has changed this is no longer my son."

He suddenly felt pain in side where his book resided and clutched the precious spot for a few moments. The older mare glared at Greymane before she went to soothe her husband. Greymane laid there in shock his mind went numb with mental horror. The nurse went into action ushering the ponies out of the room with a few excuses. As the door slammed shut the stallion on the bed felt like the foal in his old home and began to weep.

The nurse escorted them to the lobby for paperwork and explanations on how unicorn magic was able to divine his lineage. Both of the parents listened impatiently with a few minor arguments before signing any paperwork.

He looked at his wife and said quietly "And so it begins my dear."

She looked at him with a cruel mirth "The beginning and the end of Greymane."
