Evolution

It was a nice afternoon outside and the five ponies waited for Applejack and Tavo to arrive so they could leave for Canterlot. "When do you suppose they'll be here Twilight?" asked Rarity "I don't know but they better hurry or we'll miss the train." Twilight answered. After a short time passed Rainbow Dash noticed two figures-one larger than the other-walking towards their direction. "There they are." Said Rainbow Dash, pointing to Applejack and Tavo, who trot towards them. "Sorry were late gals but i accidently hurt myself kickin somthin a little harder than a tree." Said Applejack rubbing her back hooves with one of them bandaged. "What was it?" asked Twilight looking at her injury. "Him." she said pointed at Tavo who was right next to her. "Huh!" they all said in unison then staring at Tavo who looked clueless "what?" he said.

Before they could say anything else the train had arrived. As they boarded the train Pinkie Pie Noticed Tavo hesitated before going on the train.

The first minutes were spent in idle chitchat with each other about the dinner party which then broke into silent thought. However the only one whos been more silent throughout the trip is the one who was invited in the first place. He just sat on the floor staring at it with a serious expression, for an hour and a half. Pinkie Pie, being the good friend that she was, sneakily tip-hoofed behind him. She silently snickered as she got closer and closer to her target. when she was at a close enough proximty she slowly reared up, raised her hoofs above her head and just as she was about to strike......

"Hey Pinkie." said Tavo from the ground, Pinkie suddenly collapsed from her attempted failieure. She then sat back up next to Tavo "Awww you caught me and you didnt even see me?" said Pinkie Pie. Her cheery mood however didn't bring Tavo Out of his glum mood and he contiued looking down. "Hey whats the matter Tavo? Arnt you excited about the party?" asked Pinkie Pie "That's exactly it, the party. I feel alittle uneasy about this party especially its location and this princess." Said Tavo nervously. Pinkie Pie suddenly sprang to her feet "Oh i get it." She said "Get what?" asked Tavo "Your nervous about meetting Princess Celestia. Don't worry she's really nice."

Tavo Looked up from his dark mood and stared at Pinkie Pie who smiled at him warmly. "Thank's Pinkie Pie, Even though i don't understand you at all, it's comforting to have you as a friend." said Tavo. Even though he didn't smile Pinkie knew somewhere inside him he was happy.

With only a few left minutes before reaching Canterlot Twilight had thought about it and decided to take another look at the book she carried in her saddle bag. Even though she knew that it only had four written pages and nothing else, she had to see it again to figure out if Tavo really fits the description of the horrific monster. She opened her bag and let the book inside fall to the ground. Before she opened it she quickly took notice that something strange had happened to it. It seamed the cover of the giant stallion who might be Tavo and the wolf were now facing each other instead of facing opposite directions like before. The title was still the same and there still was no author just as before.

She flipped open the book reviewing over the first page and its strange phrase "When there is a killer, there is a savior, Chose your fate." Then flipped to the second page and the description of the "The Stallion who Fell From The Gates" and it was an almost perfect match to Tavo, grayish blue coat, black eyes mane and tail, blood stained knife or blade for cutie mark, scared body and smiling scar he might just be the monster. she thought the only thing that was not counted for was his smile. He hadn't smiled the entire time since he first arrived so she doesn't completely know. But like Fluttershy said he's been through a lot so she didn't blame him for not smiling at all. She turned the second page revealing that he's never found love in his world so she felt bad for him. she also wondered who this ultimate being that can stop the beast king was. She turned the page to the second phrase "Until light fades from our hearts, let us know that there is always a chance, when the world falls, let us know that he will save us from death." She wondered what this meant but still didn't quite understand the concept or who "He" is?

Curiosity compelled her and Even though she knew nothing more was written but since the cover change maybe something else has changed. When she flipped the page a new phrase was written in "For all who lose their souls to evil and madness, For all who lose hope in a god forsaken world, for all who fear The terror god,  know that the answer, the key, the secret, and the cure…..is love. The everlasting gift from the heavens, the key to life and our very existence would be nothing if it wasn't for love."

The new phrase surprised her and it reminded her of her Brothers marriage. After reading about the monster then these two phrase's that depicted something good she didn't understand it at all. "was it something about Tavo?" she asked herself silently, Then asked her self again "who's this terror god?"

After a few minutes they finally arrived in Canterlot. They were so excited to be here and for the private dinner party held by the princess herself. They stopped right at the Station and step out onto the platform. They trotted out of the station and onto the streets where the city lights flickered on signaling the night had come and even well dressed Ponies walked through the night. But to what the girls saw beauty, Tavo saw reminder. a reminder of what once was.

As the group had been walking through the town a lot of ponies started staring at them, specifically Tavo. They gave him funny looks, to which Tavo returned them a menacing glare. It frightened them enough to turn their heads away but more in to the town, more kept appearing and each one reminded him of the Federations citizens who believe that him and everyone else he fights with are cold murderous monsters who care about nothing but killing the innocent. This enraged him. As he was about close to losing it and let it out, he heard her voice " um, are you….alright Tavo?" Asked Fluttershy nervously. They both felt shy around each other and ever since the accident they've been acting strange around each other or whenever they heard the others name. yet for some reason, Fluttershy's soft voice always calmed him down. "uh, yeah I'm fine." Said Tavo sheepishly. She smiled and continued walking. Tavo-now much calmer-thought that the Ponies here couldn't be like the Federations, they responded the exact same way that the ponies in Ponyville reacted to him when he first arrived.

It was not much longer to the Castle when they heard a harmonic melody playing in the distance. They walked towards the source getting louder and louder. The music revealed itself to be played by a cello and the cello to be played by none other than Their friend Octavia.

Her eyes were closed to give more feeling to her music that flowed from her to her cello. When she played she'd let her imagination run free. The music filled her with peace as it always did filling her head with a wonderful imagination. But as she played suddenly the imagination was turning darker. She started to feel cold, the peace in her was suddenly fading turning to blunt fear. The music continued playing giving off a much darker tone, and giving her more fear. As she strung closer to the end, she saw what looked like eyes that had a black color. Soon the blackness overlapped over the rest of the eyes, a thin yellow circle formed where the eye was and a white dot where the pupil was. Then yellow like veins appeared around the eyes giving it a bloodshot appearance. Then under the eyes a wide twisted demented smile formed. As the music played to its ending the smile opened and the the words it utter shook her to her core "Life serves no other purpose then to end." Then the music stopped.

She felt a light tapping on her shoulder and a familiar voice "Hey Octavia ya alright?" She opened her eyes to see her friend Vinyl Scratch and behind her a group of Ponies, one towering over them. "I'm quite alright, now who are they?" asked Octavia " They're our friends, you remember them right?" asked Vinyl. She shook her head and remembered "Oh, why good afternoon." She said "Good afternoon Octavia." they said in unison. "That was beautiful music you were playing." Said twilight "Why thank you, but I was only practicing?" said Octavia "It'll sound even better when I join in with my beats." Said Vinyl "wait what do you mean?" asked Twilight "Well we got hired to perform for a dinner party at the castle." Said Octavia "Hey that's where were going." said Pinkie Pie "oh you all got invited too?" Octavia asked "No we are just came with the actual guest." Said Rarity " Then who's the guest?" asked Vinyl.

"That would be me." said the giant scarred Pony, Octavia gasped and Vinyl came up to him "Dude That's a sick scar you got on your mouth how'd ya get it?" asked Vinyl. "Its personal." said Tavo "And the other scars?" added Octavia. "Also personal."  he replied Suddenly Octavia Realized Something "oh where are my manners, I am Octavia Its a Pleasure to make your acquaintance." said Octavia. Vinyl scratch decided to jump in "The names Vinyl Scratch, Its nice to meet ya." said Vinyl. "well good to see you both." said Tavo "so what exactly do you two do?" asked Tavo.

" Well play my Cello and-"

"I lay down some sweet beats on the turntable."

Turntable?" asked Tavo. "Yep, I'm the Dj at the party and together, we'll make all those ponies cry out and cheer." said Vinyl. Vinyl then added "hey if your headed to the party, mind if we tag along?"Asked Vinyl. Tavo turned to the girls, they nodded their heads, and Tavo said "Yes." and they made their way to the castle.

They had finally arrived at the castle gates as the sheer elegance welcomed them yet as they walked through the courtyard Tavo was having second thoughts about the party. He stayed behind the group of excited ponies and thought to himself about this place. Who would even invite me anyway and how'd they know i was living in Sweet Apple Acres, news from the accident couldn't have spread this far and why of all people was it the princess and ruler of Equestria who wanted me for a party? He thought. He isn't used to this kind of treatment unless there was something else to it. As he was considering these things they had finally made it to the large doors. Its here where he'll meet this princess and prove if the ponies here are like the Federations citizens. When the doors opened he heard the breathing of certain type of beings he hasn't heard in years. This won't end well. He thought.

note: i may have overdone it on the series thing. i know this wont be the last story i write.
