Skepticism is a death sentence but doubts is a road to enlightenments

Jag (I) slowly regained consciousness, my head splitting as I shakily pivoted.

"Huh, vad fan hände? (Huh, what the hell happened?)" My eyes blurred as a familiar voice sounds.

"Alex you're awake!” The purple outline of Twilight becomes visible as I yawn, I found myself in a bed as I crack my rigid back the satisfying pops causing the purple pony to wince.

“Where am I?” I asked while I looked around. Before Twilight could answer we heard a noise outside the door that sounds like someone is causing a mess and things were tossed around. Not too long, we saw Moona came running through the door with Elderstahl in her mouth. She came to me with a happy rush, put Elderstahl on the bed next to me and licking my face with happy wolf sounds. I was really, very happy to see Moona. But there was still someone missing I noticed.

"B- but where is Night Blossom?" I asked with both confusion and worries. Twilight explained the situation to me, how I had been out for about three days and that Night Blossom was on her way back to Canterlot to infrom the princesses about this. I was soo confused because not only where Night supposed to be with me everywhere I am but why personally inform the princesses when she's been doing it all through letters and could do it again. Twilight said that she didn't ask her why, but her awkward looking face gives me reasons not to belive her. I sunk into my pillow, the feathered slice of heaven helping to ease my head as I rested. I was told that I would have to stay in hospital for at least a week until the mares have calmed down, due to me being a new species my own magic was too alien for them to understand.

Unfortunately Twilight had work and was unable to stay for long, I pretended to smile while I have suspicions about the whole situation. To be honest I was hoping to be wrong with my suspicions, as I expected the rest to visit, their friendly smiles pictured in my head helped to ease my boredom. Moona was clever enough to give me my bag where my important stuff was, including my phone. I then looked at her.

"Moona... Twilight didn't brought the facts now, did she?" I asked with alot of seriousness in my voice. Moona make some doggy noices and shocked her head, indicating a 'no' answer. Which means only one thing and ONE thing only!

Hon ljuger (She's lying).

Hours came and went and no one showed up, slightly irritated now, I either spend my time with my phone or petting Moona while I talked to her cause there is no one else to talk to. Finally visiting ours finished and I was left slightly pissed off that no one had come to see me. Shaking the thought lose I assumed that they were all busy, having jobs and all. I wanted my suspicions to be wrong, but each minutes pass just makes it more and more believable.

*Three days later*

INTE EN ENDASTE JÄVLA BESÖK!!! (NOT ONE SINGLE FUCKING VISIT!!!) Not a single fucking visit, all my so called friends and not even Night Blossom who should have returned from her 'trip' from Canterlot. Everytime the door opened, revealed not one of my friends, but a nurse serving me lunch, retreating her eyes warily watching me causing me to glare at her as the nurse hurriedly left.

‘Fan ta dom, allihop. Hur kan dom? HUR VÅGAR DOM LÄMNA MIG BAKOM SOM OM JAG VORE SKRÄP!!!’ (Curse them, all of them. How could they? HOW DARE THEY LEAVE ME BEHIND LIKE I'M SORT OF GARBAGE!!!) I yelled in my head with much anger in me. I would have gone rampage with my magic to express my rage, if Moona wasn't there for me atleast. Everytime she notice my anger began to boil up. She comes to me near by and offer me comfort, I always ends up with both tears of sorrow and joy. Sorrow because none of my so called friends came by. Joy because Moona was the only one in this world who was ever there for me, even now when no one would. After a few impatient waitings I have come to the conclusion that in their eyes I was nothing but a public sex toy and not a living being.

They never cared about me from the start, I was just a toy and now that I am broken they have lost interest until I am fixed again. Fucking, filthy, worthless SLUTS! if they think that I will ever look at them then they have another thing coming. I had it and finally leaping out of bed I hurriedly threw on some clothes, I levitated Moona and I out the window and we slowly landed on the soft soil grass. Before we should walk, I gave myself the same protection shield around me and Moona that I used when I first came to Ponyville. With Moona walking next to me I stomped down the street heading towards my house as scenarios ran though my head most of them resulting in me getting raped, typical. Ponies for some reason stayed out of my way some even crossing the streets as I self-consciously winced, the frightened or resentful stares painful as I tried to keep a stiff upper lip.

The ponies were all keeping a secret and it seemed to revolve around me as more than once whispers broke out, key words like evil; savage and monster making my heart sink even further as I tried to piece together what was going on. My eyes locked onto a rainbow colored mane as I stopped dead in my tracks, my eyes meeting hers as fear reflected in those magenta eyes, without a word she took off refusing to look back as I yelled after her. More and more ponies avoided me some even darting into their homes as even some of my supposed friends like Octavia and Colgate hid. My heart had been truly crushed by this point as my trip to my house got harder and harder as I tried to marshal my shattered spirit.

Arriving, I grabbed the door handle, only to find that it's locked! My keys didn't work anymore so I used my enhanced strength to break down the door with my foot. All of my furnitures and fixtures where gone, the whole house was empty and no sign of... Night...

As Moona and I was outside the house, my hands were on fire...

"FFAAAAAAAANN TA EEEEEEEERRR!!!!!! (FFUUUUUCK YOU ALLLLLL!!!!!!)" I roared, shoot a mighty fire blast on the house and let it burn. Moona and I turned around, stomping off angry tears running down my face as we headed for the Everfree forest, no longer caring as the clouds above me darkened the pegasi no longer able to control the clouds as Moona and I entered the feared forest.

Aldrig nånsin mer... ska jag låta mig bli manipulerad av horer!!
(Never ever again... will I allow myself to be manipulated by whores!!!

We encountered no problems, my temper long gone, sorrow was all that remained. Rain battered my body as my vision was blurred by the aggressive weather forcing me and Moona to seek shelter in a cave. I put a few Frost Runes from skyrim and use the Invisibility spell from skyrim to hide the runes, my magic traps to ensure that no predator can sneak on me and Moona. I used my magic to turn dust into woods and burn them to make a fire to warm us up. I laid on the ground, using my bag as a pillow and Moona laid next to me with her head on my chest. I petted Moona in gratitude for her loyalty. She is the most bestest friend I ever have, I really couldn't ask for a better friend than her. I was now more calmer with her by my side, I saw her drift to sleep and before I did.

"Nu är det bara du och jag, tjejen... bara du.. och.. jag. (Now it's just you and me, girl... just you.. and.. me.)" was my last words before I let sleep claim me.

*Two days later*

"Kom nu gumman, dags för oss att käka! (C'mon now honey, time for us to eat!)" I called for Moona with a rabbit in my hand as Moona came running after me with another rabbit in her mouth. You all wonder how she understood my swedish? Well then, I'll tell you all. During my first day in the Everfree forest, I discovered that I can use manipulation magic on memories too! So I tried it on my knowledge of swedish language. Duplicated my swedish language knowledge, turn it into green mist and poured it into Moona's head. And guess what... Moona now knows swedish and I can finaly speak swedish to someone at last, äntligen! (Finally) While Moona and I walked around the forest for other places to stay, I used my magic to enhance me even futher and it makes me a 7 feet tall man, now I am big as Luna. I'm now a big, bulky man. Let's be fair, so I gave Moona alot of enhancements too. Now she became a wolf big enough for me to ride on her back.

Now, back to the present. Moona and I just came back to another cave that we found to eat. As for the rabbits, I send a Dremora to infiltrate into Fluttershy's cottage, kill and take two rabbits for me and Moona to eat, consider it punishment for her betrayal. Moona and I trains us selves to handle our abilities and traits. It's really amazing how much magic can do if you have the imaginations. The Dremora came back with the rabbits, Moona and I took each rabbit before he vanished. When we got back I started a fire thanks to my skyrim magic to cook my meat while Moona ate hers raw. During our two days time in the forest, I rode on Moona's back, which she didn't mind. We did a quick visit to the castle of the royal sisters ruin to explore properly and found a whole library with many books. Thanks to my instant book absorbing powers, not only do I learn more magical spells but also skills from many different books.

After a round in the forest and encountered many dangerous creatures that tries to kill us but we destroyed them very easily. We found us a more bigger and impressive cave, it's almost a tunnel for how deep it goes. As we entered I placed alot of invisible frost rune traps for our security. When night falls I made us a fire and we sleept with each other in friendship and family. That was the only thing that makes me happy now. We held closely to each other in embrace as we fell asleep.

*Outside the cave*

"He's inside now. Now we'll finaly have him to night." Nightmare Moon said with lust and malice, thinking she will finally claim her slave.

"He has grown bigger so that I think he'll be very useful, but his wolf is so big it can single handedly kill four manticores without breathing hard." Queen Chrysalis said.

"Please, with our magic we can take it down and as long as our toy is sleeping we can enslave his mind and take him with us." Nightmare Moon said with alot of overconfidence.

"Let's get him.~" Nightmare Moon said before she and Queen Chrysalis entered the cave and they walked until... PWAHM! They fell right into the frost rune traps and being turned to ice statues.

*Back to Alexander*

"Vad var det? (What was that?)" I asked as I and Moona got startled when woken up from a loud noise. We got up and went to se what's the commotion and we saw what I för i helvete (for hell's sake) could not believe my own eyes were looking at...

NIGHTMARE MOON IS ALIVE!?

How the fuck is that possible!? I was there when it all happens, the elements of harmony destroyed her to bring Luna back, how the hell could she be alive!? In fact, who is this... bug pony with her? Luckily I gave Moona and myself immunity to my magic, in fact, I gave us two immunity to all magic (except my restoration, alteration and illusion magic from skyrim) so that we can put up of a fight. I went to them closely to inspect them just to be sure. The bug looks to be 9 feet tall pony, except she had a green insect like carapace on her abdomen. There were no fur on her body. Her arms and legs had holes in them. Even in her wings. Her horn looked crooked and she had a black crown with white pearls on her head. And let's not forget that this bug is a female, how do I know? Because I can see her FFF cup bust from here! After I inspected her I turn my attention to the 'mare-who-should-be-dead' and see that she looks exact the same when I meet her.

"Hur är du kvar I liv? (How are you still alive?)" I asked still could not understand how she could be in one piece. I was interrupted by Moona's barking, I guess she asked if we should dispose of them.

"Nej, ifall den här monstert är kvar i liv och den här krypet är med henne så vill jag veta hur och varför. Vi måste hålla dom vid live för förhör och jag har en ide (No, if this monster is still alive and this bug is with her I want to how and why. We must keep the alive for interrogation and I got an idea)." I said to Moona as I used my skyrim conjuration magic to summon my Dremoras for duty. It was time for a interrogation.

*Twilight pov*

The past few days had been a nightmare. With Alexander's disappearance we had been tasked with finding him, and bringing him back safely, what's worst is that we found his house burned up and destroyed, which means only one thing, he's in the everfree forest. Secretly I felt guilt for how I had reacted. Though it had shocked and scared me, the magic he could wield. It takes a powerful dark magic user to summon demons and in all of Equestria's history every dark magic user has been cruel and evil towards ponies. But we have forgotten that Alexander wasn't a pony and this magic of his was forced into him so being able to use dark magic wasn't his fault, how could we all have forgotten that and now the damage has been done. Night Blossom is the one who was hurt the most. Accused Alexander to be a dark magic user and abandoned him when her jobb was to watch over him, not only did she failed her duty but she betrayal the pony she... loved. Realizing her mistake and knowing that Alex was gone, she was very, VERY heartbroken. She burst into tears and cried out of all reasons, she even talked to her self begged Alexander for forgiveness. She acts as if she were mentally unstable, Fluttershy and Pinkie tries to cheer her up but nothing seems to work.

Night Blossom's sorrow was understandable but the rest and I reaction had been unjust. We were meant to be responsible for his care. Princess Celestia had assigned me to look out for him until we could find a way to send him home and I had let both her and Alex down. The town folk complete over reaction and near hysteria to Alexander had not helped the situation out at all. After the Zecora incident I had hopped ponies would be more willing to forgive but sadly this had not been the case. But it would be hypocritical of me to berate them when I had also reacted.

Though despite our searching we were no closer to bringing him back. Reluctantly I had been forced to bother Princess Celestia and request her aid in capturing Alexander. The problem was given the everfree has been subjected to large downpours of rain and him being immune to magic we had no idea where to even start. All in all I was nearly pulling out my hair trying to think of a way to find him. Fluttershy was sure that Alexander would be alright thanks to his magic, his sword and Moona with him but still want to find him to make amends. It makes sense that Alexander is a strong male who can fight back but nopony is safe in the everfree forest!

My gaze lingered on the colossal forest, like a sea of black. I got goosebumps even thinking about venturing into the unforgiving maze of trees and dangerous monsters. A small part in all of us feared that the small human had not survived. But with his sword, magic and with Moona I kind of feel like he have what he need to survive the dangers, but still we must find him and bring him to safety. Pushing that aside I brought my attention back to the task at hand.

Clearing my throat I gathered the attention of my friends their eyes fixed on me.

“Princess Celestia should be here any moment, remember stick close to the princess and if you see anything do not hesitate. Even if it is your eyes playing tricks even the smallest of mistakes could land us in serious trouble. I know a few here have mixed feelings and I understand, but regardless Alexander is our friend and he needs our help. Do not worry Night, once we found him he will forgive you I'm sure of it." I finished, ignoring the spat that the unicorn gave me.

"You don't know that... (heavy sobs) he'll might never (heavy sobs) want to be (heavy sobs) with me ever again..." Night Blossom said, still crying and heartbroken of what happened.

Sighing I tiredly rubbed at my eyes, the past few week had been stressful and all I wanted was to go back to the library and sleep without the stress of the currently lost human.

“You look tense.” a voice spoke up from behind.

“You don’t know the half off it." I groaned. I paused my eyes widening as I spun on the spot. Wearing a bemused smile stood my mentor in all her glory. “P-princess Celestia, I am so sorry I had no idea you had arrived.” I babbled, the mare dainty placing a hand against her lips as she giggled.

“At ease Twilight, it is good to see you again. Though I apologies that we are not meeting under better circumstances.” Princess Celestia finished, giving me a small pat on the head. Too the side Princess Luna waited patiently, her eyes briefly locking onto me as I shivered. She turned her eyes on Night who seems dosen't notice the moon princesses but Luna didn't seem offended. Something about her eyes made me uncomfortable, maybe it was there eerie similarity to nightmare Moon. or the fact her hair had regained its ethereal glow.

“Sister we would be best no wasting time with meaningless pleasantries, the everfree at night is dangerous, more so than during the day. I would rather not risk your student or her friends safety.” Luna said impatiently, her hand resting on an impressive Gladius. I was shocked to see such a weapon. The sword was a relic by today's standards, easily three thousand years old, but stood as a testament to just how old the two princesses were.

“Patience Luna,” Celestia chided smiling fondly at her. “We will move out in just a moment. Once the rest are ready.” she continued.

“I do not even see why the others are required, would it not be easier to bring a few guards and do it ourselves?” Luna replied, oblivious to how rude she was coming across.

“No I fear guards would only make him think he was in trouble. If he thinks our guards would hurt him, what stops him from using his sword, magic, even his wolf to kill them. He can summon demon warriors to his side in order to fight back. To avoid that, we need to make him see that we mean him no harm,” Princess Celestia finished. With a small huff and a reluctant nod Luna turned to survey the Everfree, her wings twitching slightly in agitation at standing about. With a gentle sigh Princess Celestia turned her attention to me.

“Your friends look about ready to go but I must stress this point. The everfree is an ancient and dangerous forest. Some of the worst threats and creatures ever faced by ponykind have been banished and imprisoned in its depths. Our old castle was luckily near enough to ponyville that you six would not have encountered the more dangerous beings in that cursed forest. But note that we may end up having to venture further into the forest. So I implore you and your friends not to wander off, and if you see anything tell us. The forest will try to play with your mind and opportunistic beasts will happily try to make a meal of a lone pony.” Celestia finished grimly, her tone sending shivers up my spine.

With a meek nod I gave my word that I would not do anything rash. Fluttershy looked like she was about to faint her eyes wide, her body shaking like a leaf. Satisfied that we understood the mare beckoned us to follow them as we headed for the eerily black forest.

The rest of my friends fell in behind me as we followed the two alicorns, nerves were running high as even Rainbow Dash was oddly quiet. If this forest was so dangerous can Alexander survive in its depths. Can he be a match for the monsters that hid within.

*Alexander pov*

With my Dremora famliliars, I spend time unfreezed them (they where luckily unconscious) and tied them up together with conjured ropes, back to back. I also conjured anit-magic rings and attached them to their horns. It took a moment for them to wake up again.

"huh... what.. the?" Nightmare Moon groaned in confusion as she notice her being tied up. The bug pony woke up too with a headache.

"What. The. Buck. Just happened?" she asked as she noticed Nightmare Moon was behind her with these ropes around them.

I did some knuckle cracking to get their attention towards me. Guess what, it works as they looked towards my direction where I sat there with Moona next to me. I got up and walked towards them as they silently stare at me with faces that says 'impossible'.

"So... you two are the ones who stalked me, the ones Moona was growling at and now tried to take me in my sleep like cowards but feel right into my magical trap." I said, trying to add so much malice in my voice to scare them. But instead Nightmare Moon was dumbfounded.

"How could this be... how can one stupid male outsmart us!? a mighty alicorn and a changeling queen! This shouldn't even be happening!!" Nightmare Moon rant about it, as if I did the impossible. But the other creature, changeling as she said, would not have any of this.

"SHOUT YOU MOUTH BITCH!! It's obvious that this male is more powerful than us both put together, this is all your fault!" The changeling yelled at Nightmare Moon with much anger.

"You two do know that I'm over here, don't you?" I asked as I was annoyed being ignored. "Both your lives are at my mercy, you worms, MY mercy and you two have only 'one' chance to explain yourselves before I burn holes through your heads." I said with much anger in me. I want nothing more than to eradicate them from my life since I was already had enough with females. But I was a person who ask first and kill later, so before I decide their fate I want to know their intentions.

"If you think-" Nightmare Moon tries to argue against me but was interrupted by the pissed off changeling.

"OH SHUT IT! if you value your life you better comply!" she said. Before Nightmare Moon could say anything else I used my magic to fuse her mouth together so it looks like she dosen't have a mouth in order to silence her.

"Starting with you, who and what are you, and what is your business with her!?" I looked at the changeling and demand answer from her since she is wise enough to cooperate.

"I am with her because of my needs, she conviced me that you the very needs that I must have for my subject's survival, the survival of my entire race." she said in a sad tone with a face mixed with both sorrow and shame.

"Huh, a desperate leader. Go on, what's your story?" I told her, I was honestly curious of what she hope to gain from me.

"I am a creature called changeling, a species of insects ponies. We are called that because we can take the form of others with ease." she said. A race of shapeshifters, that's very interesting. I let her continue. "We are starving, we have a food shortage. What we eat is emotions, specifically love. We need to eat love for us to survive and nopony would let us eat because of our apperance. Because of how we looked ponies call us monsters and treat us with hostility. Cause us to starve." She explained. That ponies would be xenophobic! well now that I think of it, she does look very different from other ponies and remembering Zecora event it would only make sense but I still have some questions.

"But what does that have anything to do with me? How can I solve that problem and in fact, how do you eat love?" I asked with the need of clarity.

"This 'mare' told me of your stamina and your powers. She told me that enslave you would not only drain the love out of you, which you have infinite amout of, to eat. But also... you would provide me a...(heavy blush in the face) heir." she said and I was completely dumbfounded. She just wanted to have sex with me! but that can't be all... "As for how we eat love, we can eat love from other beings but they need to be affectionate with the one they like. This is why we change our forms into the ones they love and siphon love energy from them. The processes is not harmful. It will simply left the other one tired. That's all. They will gain their energy by resting and eating food." she explained.

Okej, det hänger ihop (Ok, that make sense).

"The love that we eat will take form of pink smoke that will enter our mouths, but the worst thing is that the hunger of changelings can never be satisfied. The best solution to that, is that a changeling queen, which I am, finds a mate as a source of food. But also to provide the queen a new hive incase her own would be destroyed and also bring an heir to the hive when the queen pass away from life. Like ponies, our changeling males are very weak and can't satisfy a queen. Nightmare Moon told me of your super stamina and... (another heavy blush) we kind of... seen how you take care of mares in such long time.~" she said very nervously as Nightmare Moon also blushed heavy. But I looked at her with a face that calls her an idiot.

"You got to be joking." I said in a bad mood, hoping that those two didn't watch me have sex with over a hundred mares.

"It's the truth I tell you. My business with her is out of desperation as you said, as queen of the changelings..." she tries to explain until I interrupted.

"Your race's survival comes first. A leader's responsibility is the well being of her subjects and since your kind is starving and hunted down for being different, you would take any deal as long as it will end the suffering of your race." I beat her to it.

"Yes... I'm sorry." she said and looked at me with a sad face as if she really means it.

"(sigh) you know... all your words, it all makes sense... so much sense. I actually believe you, I really do." I said with honesty. She looked at me first with surprise, but then it turned into a smile of gratitude.

"You know, I never asked for your name." I said to her. Which is true, I never asked what her name is and that cause her to blush again for the third time.

“My name is Chrysalis… and what is your name?” she asked me with a shy smile.

"Alexander Hall." I answer her and then continue. "Now, Chrysalis, that you have explained you reason for this. I still have a few more mysteries I need to solve." I turned to Nightmare Moon. "And that is you!" I said sternly as I undo the fusion of her mouth so that she can speak.

"It's your turn to explain your reason for this event. Why are you so desperately after me? Why were you stalking me? But must above all else, what do you hope to achive from me!?" I seriously asked her with a face of anger because I'll never forget what she tried to do to me. "But before you explain your reason, I want to know. How are you here at all? I was there, the elements destroyed you." Was my first question.

"The elements of harmony are not weapons, they don't kill at all. Instead of destroying me, they separated me from Luna and I'm finally my own body." she explained which I find it hard to believe.

"And it all started as small pieces of smithereens?" I asked with a skeptical face.

"I was very weak and beaten. It took me time to figure out that I was alive and also with enough rest I gathered the energy I needed to reform the shattered shells back together and reform my own body." she explained to me.

"As for why I was after you. I have so many unanswered heat cycles during my thousand years of imprisonment on the moon. Being on the moon for a 1000 years and the my heat cycles has cause so much damage to me and after I fought your demonic familiars, I knew that you have the strength and stamina to end my cycles, I need this so much! I need you!" Nightmare Moon explained with so much seriousness that I can't find any sign of lie or deceptions.

"When I found you in Ponyville, I knew you were to strong for me to take you alone I needed help. So I made a deal with Queen Chrysalis if she helps me to claim you I would share you with her... (blushing) like a forced herd. I was sure that when you had your guard down, we would finaly be able to claim you at last. For each of my heat cycle unattended is a terrible torture for me and since I was sure I was on the verge of victory. I didn't had the mood or the patience to wait and I was comfidence I would have you. You, however, shown to be a powerful male after all. You have the needs to end my pain." She's telling me with watery eyes and a face of desperation. I looked at Chrysalis for answer, she nodded as she also explained that a mare's heat cycle can cause an unhealthy effect on her if it remains unanswered.

"When somepony is in heat, there is no point stopping a mare or any creature from getting whatever she wants. The heat in our bodies are what triggers the yearning for satisfaction, especially from stallions. We tried to cool it ourselves, but it would only do so much. If the heat is unaswered too long, a mare would me less than an animal, but since Nightmare Moon is a alicorn she is strong enouch to remain sane until she's satisfied. The heat cycle makes every mare absolutely horny, and some toys they buy can't do much, not even an ordinary stallion." Queen Chrysalis explained to me.
