I go through the door I entered the castle from and see that it is near dusk out. I didn't think I had spent that long in there. Maybe one to two hours at most. But what do I know anymore. I woke up however many days ago murdered a bush and then got a shadow person in my head.Everything is just so strange and I don't understand it I won't even pretend to know what I'm doing here.

I guess I can use this walk to reflect upon everything that's happened so far. But I don't see how that would change anything so ultimately I think that options pointless. I could pry for Information from Nightmare whatever it knows but that might open myself up to getting closer to it. I know it said that it meant me no harm but how can I believe it? The answer is I can't there is no reason I should trust anything it says.

But it said this walk would take maybe two hours. Actually that brings something to my attention.

"Nightmare what gender are you?"

The answer to that is relative right now I am female.

"Oh I see so you what? assume the gender of your host?"

That is correct why are you asking this now?

"Well this seems to be better to talk to you then just muse to myself."

That is true. Anything else you want to ask Caera?

"Hmm what exactly are you I know your like a leech in a sense."

I am not a leech I am not a malicious organism stealing from you to survive. I am embodiment of magic that requires a host capable of sustaining me to survive.

"Capable of sustaining you how?"

They need to have a substantial capacity to wield magic.

"Wait are you saying I have magic?"

Were you not aware of this?

"No I wasn't but that explains how I murdered a berry bush."

You murdered a berry bush how dear?

"Um I guess I can demonstrate it does feel good so I don't mind."

I look around and see a small sapling I suppose it will do. I take off my left glove and touch it watching as it withers away feeling all the better as it dies.

Hmm it appears you can absorb life force of other things to make yourself better.

"Is that rare or?"

Its actually a forgotten art Princess Celestia and Princess Luna had this necromancy and other similar forms of magic outlawed when they claimed the throne.

"Wait two princesses?"

Yes, Is that a problem?

"I mean it sounds wrong but I don't know why."

That is how it is, There was only Princess Celestia for 1000 years until a few nights ago when they banished me from Princess Luna and now she has reclaimed her spot by her sisters side.

Hmm so Immortal Princess sisters ok well I guess its going to be hard understanding this place. Well I have ran out of things to ask great so now I guess I keep walking and muse to myself. Why do I feel as if this will become a regular thing?

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

After what felt like an eternity of just following this damned path I started to see the exit. I decided scouting before I just walk into an unknown place would be for the best. So I diverged off the path to the bushes on the right side of me and moved up the where the exit was and peered at the town from behind some tree's and shrubs.

What shouldn't be surprising is that since it is clearly night no one is outside.

"Why didn't I guess everyone would be asleep?"

Are you asking me this question?

"Um no I wasn't I was asking my self."

Ah I see I should probably add they there is a pink pony running at you currently.

True to her word I looked forward and barely caught the pink thing running (galloping?) at me. Only thinking about what would happen if she touches my skin. (At least I assume it has to be skin contact I never really tested.) I take a defensive step back and throw my fore arm up just in time to hit it in the jaw sending it back with a spectacular flip.

Only after did I realize that I essentially just declared war by attacking the first citizen I seen.

"Fuck me."
