The legend returns

Faust had taken the body of her friend and placed it in the tower of the elements but did not place them with him. She knew there their power would still be needed but before that, she had to do one last thing before she could leave. Faust walked over the sleeping knight and looked down to her cutie mark and his hand and she placed her hand on her mark and channeled her magic to her horn and covered her body with it. Soon the glow moved to sabers body and transferred her immortality to him. She looked at him one last time seeing his black hair and saw how his armor was badly damaged from the battle and fixed it as well as making it stronger. Once that was done she pulled back and looked back to him one last time before turning and leaving the tower.

“Goodbye my friend I wish there was a way that I could be done more but you were right I have to be here for my girls. But once you wake up I will be gone so please watch out for my girls. Please once you wake to find yourself a mare. One heart break dosen't mean all females are bad. You’d made a great coltfriend or husband someday.”

As she left she sealed the door and covered the tower in a time blocking spell to stop time from bringing the tower down on top of the hero of her nation.

Twenty years later

Celestia and Luna are able to move the sun and the moon by themselves for the first time and faust tell them the story of her knight that held the hordes of the dragon kingdom and even defeated them. Neither of them believed someone could hold and defeat a thousand dragons. She then tells them of the elements and that they were never to use them. They laughed and said that she was just making this saber up and that he was a human and even the elements.

One-hundred years later

Celestia and luna stayed at their mother’s side as she takes her last breath and listens to her final story. But celestia and luna now believe in the elements for their mother used them to strengthen shield she had put on her kingdom. Now they asked if the knight she once spoke of is real and will he come back in their time of need. She tells them only when he truly needs to wield the elements again. Faust spoke of him and how he fought for the kingdom and how he is the true master of the elements and once he returned the elements would return to him and leave their substitute wielders. That night the queen passes peacefully in her sleep and the nation mourned for the loss of the queen.

One-thousand years later

Celestia and luna were forced to use the element to fight discord. They won the battle by turning discord to stone. But at a cost for three days the moon stayed in the sky killing crop and making it easy for predators to kill farm animals and ponies. After those three days pass the ponies fear the night and start to run from luna. This started to set her on track to becoming nightmare moon.

Two-thousand years later

Celestia has banished her sister luna and once again paid the price. In the fight as she used all six elements as the fight continued more and more damage came to their mother’s castle and created a wasteland to the east. She thought of a way to end the fight but she would lose the last family member to do it. She calls for the elements to send her sister to her moon for a thousand years. The element would only even listen to saber but they felt the need to help and did as she asked.

Present time

To the citizens of ponyville the day started normally but for six girls the world was about to chance. It had been two weeks since they defeated nightmare moon. Life was just back to normal when a large tower of light appeared near the castle of the two sisters. To revile a tower of white stone that looked to be untouched by time.

Twilight pov

Me and spike were having a picnic with my friends when a large light shot out of the everfree. I looked to my friends and they seemed worried as well. “Girls go get your elements nightmare may be back I'll go and send a letter to the princess.”

“Ya, you heard her let go!”

“Rainbow we need to be careful if she has returned. So once you have your element meet at my tree house.” The girls split and ran to get our elements to fight the new threat. Once I got home I wrote a letter and had spike send it to the princess. I walked up to my room and got the crown that held the element of magic and walked back downstairs to wait for the girls. Soon they started to arrive but what I did not expect was for princess celestia and princess luna to come in armor and with my brother shining armor and a unit of guards. My teacher walked over and hugged me and looked down to me with a warm smile.

“My dear student I thank you for sending me the letter but this time we all will fight her and put an end to this.”

“With the princess here that meanie may just give up and leave!”

I looked to pinkie and saw the others talking about how nightmare didn’t stand a chance. But I the back of my mind I felt that our lives were about to change. I looked to my brother next to see him talking to his guards and they weren’t in the usual gold armor. They were in a set of silver armor and had swords and shield instead of their spears. I walked up to my bbbff. “Hey armor how do you think you can get your guards to stay here and protect the town.” He turned and smiled at me and gave me a hug then pulled back and looked at me.

“That’s the plan your friends and the princesses are the only one’s fight nightmare. But hey you beat her once so I know we can do it again.”

I smiled and hugged him and a turned and looked at the new tower. As I looked I felt my element pulse with power ad start pull in my hand to get to the tower. I looked back to my friends and saw their elements were doing the same.

“Twilight darling what’s happing to are elements?”

“I don’t now rarity but I think we should follow the pulling. Shining can you put a shield around us so we can walk through the forest without worry?”

“Sure but I think it best if we go now.”

“The captain is if nightmare is back we must deal with her carefully.”

With that said shining put the shield up and we left for the tower.

“Master your need once again.”

I could hear a voice so distant but it seemed so familiar I heard it again and it was clearer this time.

“Master we are coming to you to be wielded by you once more.”

I opened my eyes slowly and I saw I was in the tower of the elements. I looked around and saw I was in my library where Faust and I collected spells ancient and new when we found them or made them. I stood and saw that my armor was still on me and had to be repaired. “Faust did you repair my armor after you pulled me from the void.” My mind stopped if I’m awake does that mean the dragons are going to escape the void or is there a greater danger. I started to walk out of the library and to my room to get my gauntlets and swords. Without my elements, I can’t summon my black crystal swords but the two I keep in my room will work for now. As I walked down the hall to my room I passed a window and out of the corner of my eyes, I saw a forest. I stopped and walked back to the window and looked out of it and I saw a large forest spreading until it hit a small town in the distance. But what I saw below my tower destroyed my world. My tower always overlooked Faust’s castle so I could watch over her and her ponies but now the castle laid in ruin. I started to use my magic and scanned the castle and I found that there was someone still here. But I felt monster all around that pony and I was not about to lose that pony. I turned from the window and ran to my room and throw the door open and I saw my room was like I left it. My swords and gauntlets were where I left them on my work desk and I saw my helmet as well. I grabbed the helmet and put it one next I got my swords and put it on my side and lastly I out my gauntlets on and ran out of my room and down the stairs and to the main door to my tower. I used my magic to open the doors and ran out of them. After a few seconds, I ran the front gate and saw a huge hole in the wall and the gate had been knocked down. I keep running to save the pony but my mind only filled with guilt at the fact was only a few seconds away and I let this happen. I couldn’t face faust if it was her I couldn’t I was her knight a hero to the nation it was my job to protect it and I failed. I used my magic to scan the castle and I was close to the pony but the magic this pony was giving off was like that of faust but much weaker could it be one of her daughter’s? As I ran closer I could hear crying and I slowed my running to a fast walk. I walk to the cry and before I could make it I stepped on a broken piece of glass and made a loud crack sound. I heard the cry and a mare's voice call out.

“W-who’s there please we do not wish to fight and we do not wish to be shot by the elements again.”

I stopped at what I just heard someone used my elements to harm a mare. I guess my element were taken by ones with a black hearts. I thought that they would be safe but I guess after I was gone and this happened to the castle. They were taken I hope the nation survived at least. As I thought about this I walk around a large piece of a broken roof and once I was around it I stopped in my tracks. The in front of me is a midnight black and blue alicorn mare in a torn up set of armor but she didn’t look like one of Faust's kids. She looked at me like I was a monster and I was about to kill her.

“Please don’t hurt me I'm leaving so you can have the castle just don’t hurt me.”

I felt my heart breaking as she tried to stand but couldn’t. My elements tend to weaken the body but never like this. I move my hands to my helmet and pulled it off and looked at her. I smiled at her and she seemed to still be little scared but seemed to calm down a little. “Hello miss my name is saber the knight of the queen faust and the true master of the elements of harmony. May I ask what your name is my lady?”

“I’m nightmare moon but how can a knight from over three thousand years still be alive?”

I stopped at what she just told and I didn’t believe it. I was asleep for three thousand years how am I still alive? Did faust give me her immorality or did the elements use their power to keep me alive? Whatever it is it can wait I have to help this mare first. “Ok, miss I’m going to take you back to the elements tower and get you so hot food and something new to wear.” She smiled and I stuck my helmet and walked over to the mare and picked her up bridal style. She blushed and ruffled her wings a little as she looked me.

“Um, you don’t have to carry me I can walk on my own.”

“I won’t hear of it I can see that your body in a weaken state so I will carry you and then I’m going to cook you a nice home-cooked meal.” She blushed harder but snuggled into my chest plate. I smiled and walked out of the castle and back to the tower but as I walked out I saw a group walking up the old main street that was now a dirt road. I heard my elements calling to me and I could guess that the group had them. I move quickly and got into the tower and used my magic to close the door and locked it. I moved up the stairs and into my room and sat nightmare moon on the bed. “Ok listen I saw a group coming down the road and I felt my elements with them I’m going to go and deal with them so you stay here and rest.”

“Ok, sir Saber I will stay here.”

I smiled at her and put my helmet back on and walked down the stairs as I readied myself for a fight as I felt my elements on the other side of the door.

Twilight pov

As we walked down the path the pull of the elements had grown stronger almost breaking from our grip on them many times. As we got closer I felt a massive power overtake the area but this one felt kind but ready to kill. But I had the feeling that it wasn’t anything like nightmare. I looked to the princesses and they seemed to feel it as well. “Princess, I don’t think it’s nightmare in there.”

“I have to agree with our sister that doesn’t feel like my or nightmares magic. Does that mean this thing is completely unknown to us?”

“That what I was thinking princess luna but the elements really seem to want to get in there. Do you think we can unravel some of the mysteries of the elements if we can get in there?”

“Maybe let’s just see if we can get in.”

I nodded and walked over to the door of the and started to push on it. But after a few tries, I stopped and looked back to applejack. “Hey, applejack can you see if you kick it open?”

“Sure I can try.”

She walked over and turned and kicked it as hard as she could but she didn’t even scratch it. She tried again but it ended the same way.
“I don’t believe it I can’t scratch the darn thing it’s like I’m kicking an iron wall.”

“Oh, I know why don’t we just knock and see who answers?”

I looked at pinkie and she just smiled and walked up and knocked on the door three times and waited. I was about to tell her that this wasn’t going to work but after she did a black aura covered the door and it open and a creature in armor open the door. Looking at it I’d say that it was as tall or taller than both princess luna and celestia. know the normal pony is five foot five and the princesses are a foot taller than us.

“Hello, miss may I ask why one of you was kicking my door?”

From the voice, I could tell it was a he and he seemed to be to calm for where he is.

Saber pov

I heard two loud bangs and then talking then came three plight knocks come from the door. I was surprised at one of them had manures. I smiled under my helmet and moved my hands from my blades and walked over to the door and opened it. I saw seven ponies and two alicorns the little one looked like the baby luna I know. But before I can deal with that I need to deal with. I looked down and saw that the three in front of me all of them had one of my elements. I looked past them and I saw the other three and on two pegasi and another unicorn.

“Hello, miss may I ask why one of you was kicking my door?”

“Well, that would be applejack and twilight trying to break down your and get into your tower. But what I want to know is who are you and how did you get here and do you like parties?!”

My she talks fast but I managed to understand her. “My name is saber the knight to queen faust and I am the master of the elements of harmony. I was sealed in the tower by the queen until the elements called for me to reclaim them and use them once again. To answer your last question yes I like parties but I’m sure there different from the one from my ago. “After I finished speak I saw that both the alicorns were looking at me in shock and joy?

“Oh, that’s a load of horseapples! Were the bares of the elements and you show up and just try and take them! He’s lying right aj?”

I looked to the orange because I could feel the power of the element of honesty coming from her. She walked up to me and looked into my helmets eye holes and she locked eyes with me. After a few second she sighed and moved her hand behind her neck and removed her neckless and held it out to me.

“Aj, what are you doing!?”

“Rainbow I looked into his eyes and I saw that he was not lying to us. Besides my granny says if ya have something that doesn't belong to ya give it back.”

I looked at this rainbow who looked pissed that I was getting my elements back. I looked to the element of honesty and smiled. I moved my hands to my helmet and pulled it off showing my face. “I thank you miss but once I touch this element all of them return to me so I ask are you ok with this?” She looked shocked but keep her arm out to me. I looked to the two alicorns and now they had big smiles. I looked back to the mare in front of me.

“I’m sure now take back what is yours.”

I smiled under my helmet and took my right gauntlet and showed Faust's cutie mark and before I could touch it my hand was grabbed. I looked to see the two alicorns staring at my hand. I looked and saw I was a few inches taller than both of them and they were looking at my hand and then to my face with teary eyes. "Wow, my godchildren are all grown up." After I said that the stallion spoke up.

"What do you mean godchildren?"

I looked at him and I saw and unhappy look on his face. "Queen fuast wanted me to watch over and guide them if anything happened to her. Now that I'm back I'm going to do as she asked." I looked at them and smiled.

“I can’t believe it mother told us so much about you and you're our godfather. She said that you even held a hoard of a thousand dragons back for hours and the sealed the dragon king in something called the void.”

I looked around to see all but the stallion looking at me in amassment. I looked back to the two mares holding my hands. “Well actually I killed six hundred of the dragons then I sealed the rest of them. Then your mother focusable pulling me from the void before I could seal myself in with them.” I heard the stallion's voice and what he side pissed me off.

“Well looks like she was a fool for saving you.”

I whipped my head to the stallion and put my hand on my swords. “I’m sorry but cure to repeat that before or do you want to die?” He didn’t flinch and smirked at me and put his hand on his sword.

“I said she was a fool for saving you monster.”

I ripped my hand from the sister’s grip and grabbed the element and the other’s broke free from the necklaces and shot over to me. Once they reached me they started to circle my body and I felt my power spike. Once the element started to slowly they started spinning behind me and I looked at him. Now he looked scared as my eyes turned a bright white and blue energy covered my arms and legs as I stared death at him. “I’m going to give you three seconds to take that back or I am going to kill you.” Before I even started to count I felt someone grab my hand. I turned back and saw the purple one with a scared look on her face and tears in her eyes.

“Please don’t kill my brother I know what he said was way out of line but please don’t kill him.”

I looked back to the stallion who was in front of me with his swords about to stab my throat. I used the elements and move faster than the eye can see and was now behind him. “Be thankful to your sister she’s the only thing keeping me from killing you,” I said into his ear then chopped the back of his neck knocking him out. I let him fall to the ground and looked to Faust's children to see luna trying to get to the so-called captain but her sister held her back. I picked his leg up and open the door and looked back to them. “Come on in I have a guess I need to check on so come in and make yourself comfortable.” I dragged him in and laid him done in a chair. They walked in behind me and saw the tower was much bigger than it seems. The purple one walked over and tapped my armor and I turned to look at her. “Can I do something for you miss?”

“Well yes but please call me twilight and I was wondering who is this guest?”

I saw the princess looking at me out of the cone roof their eyes. “Well, I when into Faust’s castle next door and found her there in a very weaken state.” I looked back to luna I guess and walked over to her and she and her sister turned to me. “You know now that I look at you and she looks very similar.” Her eyes shrank to pinpricks but soon got anger and grabbed me and got into my face.

“What is wrong with you saving that demon!?”

I stared at her and then used my magic to grab my gauntlet and put it on. I then looked her dead in the eyes and started to talk. “I don’t know what has happened in the time I was gone but I could tell she doesn’t have much longer. I’ve seen ponies in a state like this before. She going to pass from this world soon and I want to make her comfortable in her last hours.” Once I said my piece I turned and was about to walk up the stairs luna grabbed my shoulder and I turned to her. “What do you want now luna?”

“I wish to see her if what you say is true then I want to speak to her at least once.”

I looked into her eyes to see she had something she had to know. I nodded and she followed me up the stairs and to my room. As we walked up the stairs the elements moved to their places on my armor. Once we reach the top of the stairs I walked over and opened the door to see nightmare breathing heavily and I ran over and checked her pulse and it was weak. I looked at her and she opened her eyes and looked at me with a smile.

“It’s fine I know I’m going to die soon but I thank you for your kindness. But I have a request to make of you sir saber.”

I got on my knees and grabbed her hand and looked into her eyes. “What do you wish to ask me nightmare?”

“I want you to find luna and tell her I’m sorry for what I put her through. I was at one-time part of her and I could feel all she felt the pain the loneliness and the loss of our mother. But once the ponies started to fear her night I became angry and took control of her to make them love the night once more with a night that would never. But Instead I made her suffer so much so please tell her I’m sorry.”

I smiled and looked to the door and saw luna on the verge of cry with a hand covering her mouth. “Luna now that you have heard her side do you still think her a demon?” luna slowly walked over to us and kneeled down and took nightmares other hand and started to slowly cry. She looked at nightmares face and spoke softly.

“Nightmare I don’t know what to say.”

“You don’t have to say anything luna it was my own fault this happened. But I have to ask do ponies love the night again?”

Luna smiled and wiped the tears from her eyes and looked at nightmare.

“Yes they love it once again now please rest in peace.”

I let go of nightmares hand and walked to the door and back to the others. I walked down the stairs to see the brother had woken up and was looking through my stuff and breaking things his sister was trying to get him to stop. The others seemed to scared to get in the middle of them so I'll have to. I started to walk up to them and as I walked I saw the butter yellow pegues was passed out on the floor. I stopped and turned and walked over to her and picked her up. I had a couch in the corner and gently laid her down and put a pillow under her head. I stood back and turned just as this brother throw his sister aside and started to walk to the stairs. I was angry now I once again used the elements and got behind him. “Ok, your getting out of my tower.”

“What the buck!?”

I grabbed him by the back neck and lifted him off the ground and walk him to the door and opened it and throw him out on his ass like trash. I thought about it and desisted to rub salt in and open wound. “Now you listen to me young colt I let you come into the tower of the elements of harmony and my home. You insult my queen and dare to harm your own sister I will see that you never step foot in this tower again.” Once I finished talking the elements left their place on my armor and started to spin behind my back. Once I had enough power to stop ten dragons I covered the tower and then him in a blue aura then I stopped the power. “There now if you try to enter you will fill pain sorry colt.” I left the door open and he tried to run after me but the spell I set activated the second he touched the tower floor. A massive amount of electricity shocked him and throw him back. I looked back with a smile and I saw a very pissed look on his face. “Oh ya if you wanted to find something to against me then you’d never get it and anyways only I and faust can get into the library where we keep the dangerous stuff. So why don’t you be a good colt and run home to mom I have guests.” I closed the door as he drew his sword and ran at me. I head the spell again and I smiled as I knew he’d keep trying. The elements returned to their places as we heard luna yell.

“SIR SABER WE NEED YOU!”

Luna yelled and I ran up the stairs and the girls followed. I ran to my bedroom door and throw it open. I saw that luna had ripped nightmare’s chest plate off and was desperately trying to revive her. I looked sadly at her and walked over and grabbed her to stop her frantic chest compressions and she looked to me.

“Why are you stopping me I can save her!”

I look down sadly at her and she started to cry and looked back to nightmare. I placed a hand on her shoulder and she looked to me. “I understand but let her rest she got her last wish. The best you can do for her now is to find a peaceful place for her to rest where she can sleep under your moon.” She started to cry when her sister walked to her and hugged her and asked what had happened and why she cried for nightmare. She told the other what had happened how she heard what nightmare had said to me and how she stayed with her till the end.
“Celestia we all came here to fight but instead I was able to find peace and I think she did as well.”

I walked over to nightmare’s body and looked at her. I wanted to do more for her but even my power can’t bring her back. But I can give her something comfortable to rest in. I raised my hand and the elements and started to circle her body and a bright light overcame her body and once it was done she was in a beautiful dark blue dress. I looked back to the girls and I saw the white unicorn mouth a gap as she looked at the dress. I walked it celestia and luna looked at them. “There I’ve given her a dress so you don’t have to and I’ve made it so you can take her to the place you choose.” Luna smiled and hugged me and celestia looked at us and smiled.

“Thank you sir saber now me and my sister will take our leave and I will lay her to rest.”

“You welcome my lady and if you ever have need of me send for me. But I ask that you punish that colt or I will.” Celestia put a hand on my shoulder and she spoke up.

“He will be punished but I think my student has some questions for you.”

She pointed behind me and I turned and saw the purple mare drooling over the six bookshelves I had in my room. I smiled and walked over to her and smiled. “you're free to read them but be careful some I have here and in the library predate the founding of this nation. But until I can get my tower out of this forest I have to limit you to the books her in my room.” After I said that she ran over to the shelves and started to pull book after book. “Please put them back where you got them I have them alphabetized!”

“I promise I will saber.”

I looked back the others and saw the princesses and nightmare’s body gone. But the other girls were still her and the rainbow headed one still looked at me with hate. “What’s your problem rainbow hair?” She flew up and into my face and spat the words out.

“My problem is that you took our elements!”

She put heavy amount of emphasis in the word ours. I narrowed my eyes and she did the same. “Ok then if you think that you deserve your element back your free to try and take it. If it chooses to go with you I will return all of the elements to you all no questions asked.” She smirks and reached for the element of honesty but the second she touched it she screamed in pain because the element shocked her. Her friends ran over to her and helped her up and she stared at me.

“You should have asked which was yours before trying to take one. Here I'll point them out so you can try again. The two on my chest are the elements of kindness and laughter. The two on my left shoulders are the elements of honesty and loyalty. The two on my right shoulder are the elements of magic and generosity. So know knowing which one is yours do you want to try again?” She got up and this time reached for the right element but the same happen. I smiled and looked at her. “Well, it seems the element of loyalty wishes to stay with me.” Again she got in my face and started to say that I was doing it and that I was lying somehow. But the one named applejack pulled her back.

“Rainbow he has only told us the true so calm down. Besides, I think it’s time we left I need to get back to the farm anyhow.”

I spoke up before rainbow could argue. “Wait before you leave I’d like to know your names and I don’t think your book loving friend will leave easily.” We all looked to see she had made a book fort and was reading a book about light magic.

“We darling you make a good point on both parts. You let us into your home and gave us your name and I think it is time we gave ours. I am rarity ponyville’s number on fashionista.”

She was wearing a white and blue dress and she had dark blue eyes and a purple mane. I looked her over and she had a nice body and a set of c cup breast.

“I’m applejack and I work on sweet apple acres.”

Much like rarity applejack had a nice body but she had much more muscle mass than her friends and her eye were a light green. She was wearing a long pair of blue jeans and a light brown jacket over a tight shirt that showed off her d cup breast.

“I’m Fluttershy and I take cure of animals.”

Fluttershy was wearing a green sweater and skirt and her eyes were a teal color. I saw she had the most in the chest most likely an f cup. Beside her was pinkie and she was in a pair of tight jeans and shirt she had d cup breast. Rainbow was in what I believe to be sports clothes and she had red eyes and b cup breast. Twilight had on a shirt that showed her shoulders and had a star on the bottom right side. She had on a pair of dark blue jeans and had c cup breast.

“Nice to meet you all and I believe that I have heard the rest of your names. The girl reading all my books is twilight. The super high per girl is pinkie and last is rainbow dash am I right?”

“Yes darling you are but we have one last thing to take care of.”

She looked back to twilight and I did as well and I saw she was she was halfway done with the book. I smiled and walk over to her and tapped the top if her head. She looked up at me and show my smile. “You know you’re a lot like me I love to read as well but your friends want to leave do you want to go with them or you can stay here and I'll take you home later.” She blushed and looked away from me and back into her book.

“I’d like to stay here a little bit longer if you don’t mind sir saber.”

“Ok, one please stop calling me sir saber is fine.” She looked back to me and I saw shock in her eyes."

“But you’re the first and last knight of queen faust and the master of the elements of harmony.”

“So I am a man and my title is just that a title. But where I’m from you are called sir when you're married or you are not in good company of friends.” What I said seemed to surprise her and marked the spot on the book and looked at me.

“Do you think of me as friend?”

“I'd like to and if you’d like to be twilight and feel free to take a book or two when I take you home. For now, I’m going to go clean the mess your brother made or I can take you all home if you’d like.” Rainbow huffed and walked out of the room but the others looked at me apologetically.

“Darling I’m sorry she just upset about what has happened.”

“It’s fine. Let me take you all home.”

“Don’t worry about it partner will be fine you stay here with twilight. So she can read and you can talk to her.”

They smiled and walked out of the room and I walked out behind them and said my goodbyes as they walked out the door. After they left I started to fix the vases and the banners that were damaged. After that was done I walked back up the stairs and back into my room and saw twilight sitting on the floor reading again. I walked over to my closet and opened it and placed my swords and helmet in and grabbed a pair of old of jeans and a t-shirt I had when I came to this world. I looked back and saw twilight looking at me with small blush. I blushed a little as well. “Um, twilight do you think you can leave so I can change?” Her blushed covered her face.

Twilight pov

“Oh yes, sure I can just yell when you’re finished.” I got up and walked out of the room once I was out of the door I almost didn’t want to leave the room. I looked back to the door and slightly cracked it and looked in. I saw him taking off his armor and placing it on the desk he had in his room. Once her took off some kind of under armor and I saw what I saw made my breath catch in my throat. His back chest and arms were covered in scars. It was clear that he has seen many battles but how can he indoor that. His skin was a tan white skin and as he turned and right in the middle of his chest was three large slash marks. His muscles were very well built maybe bigger than big mac’s. “Saber what has happened to you and how can you survive such battles.” He started to under the armor for his leg armor and I closed the door so he could keep his modesty. I looked at the door and I felt a strange tugging in my chest as I looked at the door. But when I tried to look away from the door the tugging turned to pain.

“Hey, twilight you can come back in.”

I felt my heart jump when I heard him call my name. I looked to the door and I saw it open and he was on the other side of the door. He was wearing a black t-shirt and a pair of dark blue jeans like I was. I felt my face turn red and I looked at the ground and started to kick the ground.
“Hey twilight you ok your face is flushed do you want me to take you home?”

“No!” I covered my mouth and looked at him to see him looking at me with a worried look. “No, I just don’t want to leave until I talk to you about what life was like when you lived in the queens ago.” He looked surprised that I wanted to hear about that.

“Um, are you sure it’s not a nice story twilight.”

I don’t know why I don’t want to leave but I have to say near him. “Yes, I’d like to know plus I want to know how you got those scars.”

“Oh, these old things well come one we can talk in the library come on.”

I followed him down the hall and to a large set of doors with twin swords carved into the wood. I saw him cover his hand in a black aura in placed his hand on the door. After a second the door started to turn black and soon opened. He walked in and I did as well but once I was inside I started to droll. The room was full of bookshelves and fossils, armor and old scrolls. “Saber where did you get all of this?”

“This is mine and queen faust collection of knowledge. Ancient spells, scrolls, fossils and armor from many nations and races. But there was one we refused to take from because of the brutal fighters.”

I looked at the armor and saw pony armor, minotaur, diamond dog, ox, griffin, and Changeling. Beside the changeling, armor was a flag and a book. But he was right one was missing. “Saber why don’t you was and dragon armor or weapons here?” I looked at him and I saw him clinch his fist and gritted his teeth.

“I would never bring a dragons weapons or armor here twilight. They took so much from this nation but I can’t say they were all bad I knew a few dragon clans that won’t fight us. So I never sealed them away like I tried to do to myself and the last of the dragon hoard.”

“I remember you saying something about that earlier. Why would you do something like that saber?” He laughed a little and looked at me and I could see tears in his eye.

“I had nothing left and I turned myself into a weapon. I knew I would never find love or have a family so I thought why not just seal myself away. I’m mean look at me I’m covered in battle scars and my hands are soaked in the blood my enemies. Do you think I could you find love when every mare knew what I did and was scared of me?”

I felt that pain in my chest again as I heard that he’d never find love. Love could that be what I’m feeling but I just meet him. But it could be like cadence once told me when you find the one you're destined to be with is in pain you can feel their pain. I walked over to him and grabbed his fist and wrapped my hands around it. “Saber that was so long ago and most ponies have never even seen a real battle let alone war. So yes I do think you can find love and I think you can have a family you just have to find a good mare you can love.” I locked eyes with him and I felt him unclench his fist and just let it hang in my hands and I smiled up at him.

Saber pov

I looked down to twilight I’ve never meet a mare beside faust who did not run from me. I felt a sudden flood a joy in my chest as I looked at her and I smiled and gripped one of her hands. “Thanks, twilight but I just don’t think it’s in the cards for me. Besides I don’t think I can find a mare that’s my type.” Her smile got a little bigger and she tightens her own grip on my hand.

“Well, what is your type maybe I know a mare that’s your type.”

“Well I like a mare that I can talk to about history and I can study magic with and if she could spar with me that be nice too.” As I spoke her smile only got bigger and once I finished she jumped up and wrapped her arms around my neck. I did want her to fall so I wrapped my arms around her back and pulled her into me. “What are you doing twilight and what if I dodged you and you hit one of those sets of armor?” She just laughed and wrapped her legs around my back and the added weight and all he moving she was do made me fall back. I used my elbow to take the front of the fall so her legs and arms didn’t get hurt.

“Saber I know a mare that almost fits that perfect. She loves to study history and magic but she doesn’t really know how to fight hand to hand but she loves to learn so you can teach her.”

I was surprised that there was a mare that fit my liking but here she was telling me there is a mare like that. I looked at her and smiled and she smiled back. “You really know a mare like that who is she?” She smiled and laid her head on my chest.

“She’s laying on your chest and she's very happy to find a man that likes the same stuff as her.”

My brain stopped as I looked at her and she smiled at me. I looked to the side and I felt my face flush and laughed a little. “Um, don’t you think that this is a little out of the blue we just meet.”

“I know but I’ve always wanted a stallion who liked to study history and magic. But now that I found one and I find I’m his type. I’m not going to give up that easily but I see your point.”

My face flushed more and I did like her but on that level, I don’t know. But she’s right I like a mare like this. “Ok, I'll make you a deal we take a week or two to get to know each other then will see where it goes ok?” She puffed up her cheeks and looked up at me.

“Ok but under one condition.”

“Ok, what would that be twilight?”

“You said you can move this tower closer to ponyville right?’

“Yes, I can.”

“Then I want to move this tower to beside my tree house in town.”

I looked at her and smiled at her. “Ok but you need to get off me first so I can get the elements and move this thing.” She slowly got off me and I got up and we walked to my room. Once I was at my door I called the elements and they left their place in my armor and behind my back. I walked to the door and she followed me. “Ok let me show you some of the power the elements have.” I looked back to the tower and raised my hands and the elements started to spin. After a second I had the power I need. I covered the tower in my black aura and it started to lift off the ground. I looked to twilight and saw her mouth was a gasp as she saw what I was doing I raised my arm and waved her over. “Ok come on but hang on tight ok.” She walked over and I bent down and she wrapped her arms around my neck and I put one arm behind her back. Once I was sure she was ready jumped up and started to fly up and the tower followed.

“You can fly with the elements!?”

“Yes, I can but know I need you to tell me where I’m going.” She looked to the town and pointed to a large tree in the middle of the town.

“Do you see that tree saber that’s my house and the town library?”

“Ok.” With that said I started to move to the town as we got closer I saw ponies running in armor as we got closer. Soon we were on the town's board and the armored ponies had formed a block ad and I saw twilight’s brother in front of them with an evil smile. I looked to twilight who was looking at me with a sheepish smile.

“I’m sorry about my brother I promise he’s usually very nice.”

I sighed and put a made a barrier around us and flow over them. Unicorns would fire magic attacks and earth ponies throw spears. Pegasus would fly and try to break the barrier but couldn’t scratch it. Once I was beside her library I sat the tower down and flew us down to the ground. Once I was on the ground I put twilight down and I could hear armor clanking and I knew the soldiers were coming this way. “Your brother is a stubborn one ain’t they twilight?”

“Oh, you have no idea saber. But what are you going to do I don’t want you to kill all of the guards.”

I looked at her and then to the sound and I saw a wall of weapons and armor coming. “I won’t kill them but a good scare needed to show who's top dog in this nation's army.” She looked at me then looked like she wants to say something but was I pulled her and myself out of the way of a spear. I looked to the wall of soldiers and now they looked scared. “Ok, who just throw that come and get your beating like the cowardly colt you are!” As I spoke I summand one of the many weapons I collected over the course of the war. The sword I summoned was a blunt sword one I took from a griffin that tried to attack a small town on the board. It was a long two-sided sword it came up to the bottom of my rib cage. I raised it above my head and swung it in down word slash sending a wave of air in their direction. When the air hit them they were pushed back a few feet and some of the pegasuses were sent flying because of their wings. “I'll ask again who throw the spear come out now or I’m just going to beat you all and don’t think I won’t.” After a second a small unicorn was pushed out of the crowd and fell on his knees. I walked closer and they crowd moved back as I got closer. I looked down at this guard as they are now called and he seemed to be very small. “What’s your name colt.”

“S-silver spear sir and I-I’m not a colt I’m a mare sir.”

I looked at this colt and he was indeed a she. “Well, that’s new in mine and faust time only stallions were soldiers or as twilight calls you guards.” I looked to the other guards and saw most were mares and very few were stallions. I looked back to spear and I saw her shaking in fear. I leaned down and moved my hand to her right ear which was sticking out of her helmet and started to scratch it. After a second she melted into my touch and pushed her head into my hand and closed her eyes. After a minute of this, I pulled my hand back and she opens her eyes and looked at me with a puppy dog face. “I will not hurt a mare but the stallions of you unit are are a different story.” I looked at the crowd and I saw the mares seem to perk up but the stallion started to yell. Before I could do anything twilight grabbed my arm and had a smile on her face and held up a letter.

“Can’t have you beating up your new troops can I.”

Both I and the guards looked at her and she handed me the letter.

Dear twilight

I’d like you like you to let sir Saber know that I have reinstated his rank and power. He now has total power over the guard including your brothers like me and my sister. But we have but one request of Sir Saber to protect the town of ponyville and by my order your privet protector. Oh, and please have him tell your brother that he is on probation and cannot use his rank of captain of the royal guard. He must also pay for damages to Sir Sabers home and belongings.

Forever yours princess celestia.

“Oh, he is going to be mad and I’m going to have fun with this.” I looked to twilight and I saw her smiling. I looked back to spear and bent down to her. "Can you please take me to your captain miss spear." She gave me the puppy dog eyes and I knew what she wanted. "Fine if you take me to him I'll scratch behind your ear again when you want." She jumped up and grabbed my hand and pulled me through the crowd and back to the block ad.

Armor pov

"By now my guards should have killed that animal and get the elements back". I sat back in the local guard station when I heard the door burst open. I sat up and looked at the door and I saw one of my guards with the animal. I got up and stormed over to her. "What are you doing!? Your orders were to kill him and take the elements back!"

The animal walked forward and help a letter out with a smile on his face. He held a letter out to me and I took and read it.

Saber pov

The look on this colts face was great. When he looked back to me I saw absolute fury. "So captain I want payment my the end of the week and so you know so of the stuff you broke cost over ten thousand bits back then I wonder how much it will cost now." His face paled and pasted out. Yep, this is going to be fun.
