The night sky hung over us as we exit the tent. But I wasn't focused on that. My thought where focus on one creature and he is standing in front of me,"When were you going to tell me?" I said to him not looking at him.

"Jessica, Please.."

"Did it even cross your mind to tell me about this."

"A few times yes."

"I don't know what to think of you anymore Exclusive." I then start pacing in front of him, "At first, you were a very friendly stallion I meet at a clothes store, Next, you said that you were in love with me. Then I find out that you have a child and that you aren't even a pony." I then look at him straight in the eyes, "I don't know who you are anymore."

"Jessica..." He tried to reason with me, but I wasn't done yet,

"No, no. I get it." I said waving my hoof in front of him, "Bad past, new start and thought that I would not be able to handle the real you. Well here is a news flash for you, I don't like being lied to."I then take in a deep breathe "So what are you going to do now?"

"I am taking Maple away from here before things get out of hand here."

"What happened to you. You said it yourself that you are part of an elite group of shadowlings. Why aren't you fight for your homeland?"

"It started years ago."

"Ah, ponyfeathers." Here comes another origin story. Wait, I am cursing like ponies now. That just perfect.

My brothers and I were doing the weekly patrol of our lands for any signs of enemies. And we just came across a group of ponies that were setting up a basecamp too close to the hive. Our captain ordered us to drive away the ponies from here. They put up a good fight, but they were no match for us. Once the last pony was driven away our captain wanted us to resume our patrol, but as soon as I was going to take flight. I heard something coming from inside of one the building nearby. One of my comrades asked me what was wrong and I told them about the sound.

"It must be a pony that got left behind." he said activating his blade, "I will take care of it."

"No, I got it. Head back to the captain and tell him that I will regroup with you all soon," I told him, he deactivates his blades and shugs at me

"Fine just remember. If the captain chews you out. It is not my fault." He said joining the others,

Cautiously I enter the house with my wrap blade ready to attack anything. Seeing nothing, I then used my sense of smell lead me to where the other presence was hiding. It was hiding under a fallen wall. Not risking a surprise attack, I then manipulated the shadows around me to move the wall out of the way,

"You can control shadows!" Jessica said interrupting my story

"Yes but only ones that are nearby. Not my own."

As I was saying, I used the shadows to move the wall out of the way and revealed an earth pony mare laying on the ground shaking in fear. She had a dirty cream colored coat with a yellow messy mane and was covering her eyes with her hooves. I didn't know why she was left behind or to the reason as to why she and her ponies were here, but I knew I had to eliminate her it is my duty. No other kind of creature is allowed near the hive. Moving to her I raise my blade to strike her down, but for some reason, I couldn't do it.

I have eliminated many other creatures before in similar situations such as this one. And every time I did I never hesitated to do so. However, for some reason on that day, I felt something that I have never felt before. I felt pity for the mare. Unable to harm her, I took in a deep breath before I put my blade away and move closer to the mare.

"Are you alright?" I said touching her side.

She moves away from my touch and backs into a corner, staring at me with her deep blue eyes,"Please don't hurt me."

"I am not going to," I said offering her my hoof. She moves away from my hoof. Most likely thinking that I was going to hit her or something."I am here to help you." She looks at my hoof for a second before accepting my hoof and rights herself off the floor.

"Who are you?"

"I am a Templar of the shadow hive."

"Okay, but what is your name?"

"I don't have one."

"But you are a living creature. Surely you must have one."

"I do not Miss. Please come along, we don't have much time."

"Okay," she said following me out of the building,

"What do you mean you don't have a name?"

"Please, Jessica you are ruining the story."

I took the mare to an old an abandoned cabin far away from the hive. It, not the best place for someone to live in but it was better than nothing. I told her that she would be safer here then going back to the nearest village. For fear of that, the other shadowlings would find her and kill her. I told her that she must never leave this house. I also told her that I would bring her food and water whenever she would need it. Along with anything she needed for the house to live there. The last thing I told her was that it this was only a temporary solution until I could find a way for her to safely leaves this lands. Then she is on her own. She accepted my terms and enters the house.

When I started to take care of her; I soon realized that there was no way I could get her out of these lands without the hive knowing about it. So instead I decided that I would slowly take some of her love and bring it back to the hive as payment for staying there. I made sure to bring my armor with me each time I would see the mare. Who knows what would happen if I needed it and not have it. As the days rolled on soon the time came for me to collect my payment from this mare. I found her in her room and asked her to sit down. She then sits on her makeshift bed she made from straw that was lying around the cabin. She lows her head in my presence. It was something that I never told her to do but she did it anyway. I let out a sigh at her actions but I had a mission to do.

"Do you know why I am here Today?" I ask her,

"No sir," she replies without lifting her head,

"I came for payment of your stay here."

She then looks at me in fear, "But I have nothing of value to give you sir." she said,

That was true. The only then she has was half a saddle bag with a book in it. My guess was that it was her journal. She brought it with her when I found her that day. I didn't ask about it seeing not important to it. However, she is wrong when she said that she has nothing of value to give to me, "Yes, you do. I want your love as payment."

"I see." She then starts to lay on her bed.

I then slapped a hoof to my face because of her actions. I don't know why she thought of that but is not what I meant when I said I want her love. I guess she never had to deal with a changeling before. I stopped her before she embarrasses herself any further.

"That is not what I meant."

"Oh, my mistake." She said getting back up, "But then how do I give you my love?" she asks me confused,

"Just close your eyes and I will take it from there."

"Okay," she said closing her eyes,

I could have taken it from her with her eyes open, but I could stand the idea of her looking at me when I would. I move in a little closer to her and was going to drain her about half of her love, but I couldn't. Yet again something deep inside of me just refused to let me harm her. I knew that the process would be painless for the most part, but it would leave her completely helpless. I had no idea why I was feeling this way. I grind my teeth moving away from her trying to figure out what is wrong with me. I am a shadowling and she is a pony. I am supposed to take love away from prey. That is how it works! Sure I don't need as much as love as the other members of the hive to survive, but still. What is wrong with me!

She hears me moving in front of her and wonders what was taking me so long. Before asking, "Is there something wrong Master?"

I then turn to her and shout in front of her face, "NEVER CALL ME THAT!"

She then falls to her bed pulling her legs in protectively and scared by my outburst,"I am sorry,"

I then let out a heavy sigh. It wasn't my intention to scare her, "It is not your fault miss. You didn't know I hate that word. If you need to call me something. Call me Templar."

"Okay."

"Now get up again. I still haven't gotten your love yet."

"Alright," she said getting up again and closing her eyes,

I move in to take her love again but that feeling return once again stopping me. Feed up with the feeling in my gut. I then decided to resort to the next best thing. I then kiss her on her forehead. When I pulled away, I could see that her face was shocked by my actions. I guess she never thought that I was going to just kiss her. I then lifted her chin with my hoof so that I can look into her eyes.

"I will come back for your love later," I said before leaving her there stunned.

I never did collect any of her love after that. And for some reason, I didn't mind.

And our cycle of life repeated after that day, I would arrive at the house to help her improve the place and leave before the other shadowling knew I was gone. As the days turn into weeks and turn into months I grow fond of the mare under the wall. Soon she became more comfortable with me and started talking to me whenever I would arrival. To celebrate her boldness I started bringing her some tea for her to make whenever I was there. I would never drink it. It was for her to get more comfortable around me. During one of our talks, I learned that she was taken away from her family long ago, and didn't have a name either. The only thing she had that was a clue as to where she came from was a journal. The author of the journal was a mystery to the both of us. But what was more mystery was what was written inside the journal. It talks about a creature that is weak physical but had the ability to create cities. I no longer remember what they were called but she never let the journal go too far away from her. It was all she had. I also notice something odd about her. She didn't have a symbol on her flank. Even though she was a full grown mare she didn't have her cutie mark. I never ask her about it. Thinking that she just hasn't earned her's yet.

"Exclusive were you eying her flank?" Jessica said with a small grin on her face,

"That has nothing to do with anything!" Exclusive replied very quickly, "Let me finish my story!"

"It wasn't a no."

"ANYways!"

I would tell her about my hive, my fellow templars and some of the missions we were sent on. And she did ask me why I save her when I found her. My reply to her was that I was so tired of killing other creatures around me. It was all I ever know to do when I am outside of the hive. But when I meet her, I saw some pony that I could help for once. I never did wanted to kill all those creatures that I did in the past, but it was an order of the king him. And fail to do so would result in my death, or worse my banishment from the hive. And no one wants to leave the hive, for the hive means everything to us. And we should be honored that we can serve in its great empire.

Three months later she started calling me Exclusive, saying that I was her shadowling. I did not like the name. I told her that names mean nothing for warriors shadowlings even for Templar shadowlings. For only a royal shadowlings ever receives a name. But she never stops calling me that. And I never did tell her to stop calling me that. For she was starting to become something special to me. In a way that I have never felt for another creature. It made me feel happy, being given a name, but I never told her that. In return for giving a name, I gave her one too. I called her Aurora, for she is a light in this world that I wanted to protect.

"Did you say Aurora?"

"Please stop interrupting."

Then one day,

I have just finished helping her fixing a floor panel when she came into the room.

"Hello there Exclusive."

"Mam."

"Can you come into the kitchen please?"

"Alright." I enter the small kitchen to see that there is a small cupcake on the table with an unlit candle on it and a lit one next to it. I look to Aurora wondering what she is up to now. "What is this?"

"It has been one year since you save me. And I wanted to do something special for you." She then lights the candle with another candle she had nearby before moving the cupcake closer to me. "To the first creature in this lands that ever shown me kindness. I give you my cupcake that I have been trying to make for the past three weeks."

"So that is why this place has been smelling like burnt food," I said smiling trying to think on how many times she almost set the cabin on fire,

"I am not done." I then nodded to her showing that I wasn't going to speak and then she resumes, "For giving me a home, for giving me a life, and for giving me a friend I can trust. Exclusive the Templar." She then starts moving in front of me with an unusual look in her eyes. I have never seen her look at me with those kinds of eyes. I started to feel very uncomfortable in my armor and started to get very nervous.

Ever since I saved her a year ago, I have never thought what would happen if she sees me more then her protector. I never thought she would be around for as long as she has been. And I never thought of her as more than the mare under the wall. I could feel my heart racing as she moves in closer to me. Never before have I ever been more afraid of Aurora than I was at that moment. I didn't know whether to stop whatever she had in mind or let it play out. But before I could make up my mind, I then realized that I have been moving backways from this mare and hit the wall behind me. She then stops in front of me and places a hoof on my chest stopping my movements as she leans in close to me.

"I give you all of my love," Aurora said kissing me.

I didn't know what to think. I should have stopped her and end it all right there. But I didn't. When I was with her at that moment. There was no hive, there were no missions, there was only her. This mare was giving me the one thing that I never thought I would ever be given freely. She was giving me her love. I embrace her and return her kiss as candle burnt itself out.

"Exclusive that is nice and all but what does this have to do with anything?" Jessica asked turning a little red in the checks,

"I am getting to that Jessica. But let's skip to the next day,"

"Oh come don't stop now Exclusive. It is just getting good." Rainbow Dash said with a smile from the entrance of the tent, along with Berry and Pinkie all on top of each listen in on the story.

"Get out of here you little devils this is a private conversation!" Exclusive said using a shadow to throw some rocks at them, making them retreat into the tent. "Now where was I? Oh yes."

After that night I never return to the hive and decide to spend the rest of my days with her. I knew if the hive knew I was keeping a pony to myself. That they would take her away from me. I couldn't let that happen. So I put up dozens of protection spells around the house along with magical ruins to make sure that no pony or creature could ever find us here. And if we ever needed to leave the cabin it would be at night for we could shadow wrap to travel safely. I then gave Aurora a small gold necklace with a yellow daisy next to a leaf hanging from it. It is to serve as the consent reminder of my promise to her, that I will always be there to protect her. But then after another year had past Aurora told me that we were going to have a foal. I thought it was impossible with us being different species but it was happening. But I also knew that is also a big problem for us.

For I knew that the shadow hive would never allow our child to live. They refuse to let a hybrid creature run loose in our lands. And I should know. I was sent to kill some of those hybrids. If our child was going to live and grow up, it would have to be with the ponies. Away from the hive. When the day came for her to give birth I rushed her to the nearest hospital and wait outside ready for them. I have my warp blade along with my golden armor with me and was prepared to fight them off to protect the ones I love. The shadow hive has no doubt has been trying to find out what has happened to me and have scout nearby all known Ponytowns. It was only a matter of time before the first shadowlings arrival in front of me. But what I wasn't prepared for was that the first shadowlings to find me were five of my Templar brothers armed for battle along with our captain.

The Templar move to the sides of the captain. Some of them were sad to see me, and the other showed no emotion at all. But my captain only had rage in his eyes.

"Shadowling you are charged with desertion of the hive. How do you plead!" My captain shouted at me,

"Guilty."

The captain shacks his head at my answer before looking into my eyes, "It didn't have to come to this. All you had to do was follow orders and eliminated whatever target the King tells you. Now he demands your recapture or your destruction."

"You can try and take me, but I will not leave her."

"A female! You left the hive for a mare! That would explain why you came to this town, no this building! Your offspring is inside. WHAT have you done!"

"What I felt was right in my heart."

"I can not believe you would do this, a shadowling of the highest of honors would dare create a monster! Templars, we can not allow that abomination to see that light of day. Take him down, I will handle the monster myself."

"No!" I shouted drawing my blade at his captain but was stopped by two templars blades hitting my own blade. They pushed me back as the Captain then leaves us alone to enter the building.

I fought against my brothers to get to my family but it was no use. It was a losing battle for they are as skilled as I. Each time one of the Templars hit me away another would continue on the battle. But for some reason one of the Templars didn't join in on the fight he stood there on the sidelines watching.

"Give it up shadowling, you are outnumbered yield." One of Templars said, clashing blades with mine before pushing me away,

"Never!"

"What is with you? You were never like this before."Another Templar said, "Did that mare really change you that much?"

"You have no idea."

"But she is not even shadowlings." A third templar said attacking Exclusive from above, "Why do you even care about her so much?"

"She means everything to me!" I shouted at him punching him away,

"But we were a hive. We are brothers,"A fourth Templar said holding the side of his head not understand why are they fighting, before looking back at me, "We were born to protect the hive. The hive is everything to us. Does the hive mean nothing to you anymore? Why do you want to give up the hive?"

"For my family with Aurora, I would give up anything and everything to save them."

The last Templar looks away from the battle to the building and then backs to them. He then grabs one of the other Templars and pulls him away from the fight. And then makes their way inside the building. I was quickly defeated as the remaining shadowlings charge at me all at once knocking me to the ground then tieing me up as two Templars hold on to me.

"I will be back. I must tell our captain that we have him." The third Templar said leaving them to carry me away,

"Why didn't you use your shadows in that fight?"

"I can only use other shadows of non-living objects. There was none close enough for me to use."

"Nuts."

I couldn't fight back anymore as I could only cry as they pulled me into the shadows. Away from my family, and back to the Emerald mines I used to call home. I didn't fight back as they removed my armor and warp blade before throwing me into one of the cells. I just lay there motionless. I didn't have the willpower to do anything. Aurora is gone and I will never know what the face of our child would look like or even if it was a boy or a girl. I could only wait there until the king sends for me and punish me with death. And he would be doing me a favor. For I can no longer find a reason to stay in this world. l then heard the door open. Looking up with my eyes only I can see that a Templar has entered the room. I then look away.

"Get up." He said but I didn't move, "I said get up. We don't have much time."

"What?" I said raising my head to look at him,

"I never have seen a fellow Templar fight so desperately to save another creature's life before."He said looking away from me before looking into my eyes, "So tell me, if you could go back to them would you?"

"Without a second thought."

"I see. Let's move," he said as I followed him out of the cell,

"Where are we going?"

"To your hive. Sorry I mean to your family."

"They are alive!"

"Yes, I manage to convince our captain to bring them in and let King Zo decide there fate."

"But he won't let the child live either!"

"Calm down. I am doing the best I can here. It is already treason just letting you out right now."

"Where are they?" I asked him but he pulled me flat against the wall as a patrol goes down the hall. Once the patrol was gone the Templar answers me,

"They separate the mare from her child at opposite ends of the hive until the king sees them."

"But how can we get them both?"

"We don't." He said leading me to a hallway that goes left and right "But you are going to get your foul out of here."

"But I can't leave Aurora here!" I told him, but he told me to be quiet.

"Don't worry I have a brother seeing to her safety. You just focus on getting your offspring out of here."

"Alright. But how will I be able to find them once they are outside?"

"Head to the mountain on the border of our lands, there is a crystal cave system there that you can stay and take this." He said handing me an emerald necklace with a silver chain, "It a royal pendent that should shield you from the shadow hive from shadow warping soldiers next to you."

"But what about you? You said it yourself this is treason."

"Don't worry about me. After all, I am Prince Zulu. What can they do to me?"

"Thank you, my friend."

"Don't just thank me. Who do you think make sure that we are getting as far as we have."

I eyes winded at his statement. There are only five other shadowlings that I know of that would risk everything to save me, but the question is, "Why would the Templars help me? They are under orders from the king himself."

"Yes, they are. And we are brothers in arms and I am the future king of this hive. Let's just say they are getting tired of the old ways, and for once want to save other lives instead of killing them. You have started a great change, Templar. You should feel proud of yourself."

"It is Exclusive your highness."

"Get going you crazy bug. And remember you can always trust your brothers, Exclusive." He said as we parted ways, making my way to one of the hatcheries at this end of the hive. I found among the larva shadowlings a small foal crawling across the floor. She had a white coat to her and a blue mane. I thought there was some mistake she doesn't look anything like her mother. However, the moment I pick her up I knew that she was my little girl. She has her mother's eyes, those deep blue eyes cannot be mistaken.

Once I made it out of the hive. I made my way to the mountain and found my fellow Templars there along with Aurora. After reuniting with my family. The Templars said they weren't able to recover my armor or my blade; for they were being destroyed the moment they were removed from me. Another one of the Templars gave me a saddlebag tent that was magically linked to the cabin that Aurora and I were living in. He also said that thanks to the protections I put around the house. The shadow hive wasn't going to find it. For only a Templar could find it, and the hive couldn't make anymore. We were the first and the last of the Templars.

But just in case, we sealed off all the windows and doorways leading to the outside of the house. I thank them for their help and was surprised when they said that they wanted to stay with us. Their reason was that they wanted to wait for the Prince to become the King before returning back to the hive. Not because they missed me. Thanking them for their help, Aurora then decides to give them all names much to their glee. She then named them Dusk Shine, Rainbow Biltz, Bubble Berry, Butterscotch, Applejack and for our little girl she called Maple. For she is a sweet as a Maple leaf.

We stay in that mountain for four years before Berry said he saw some ponies roaming around in the caves. Fearing that we may be found down here. Everyone went inside the tent and moved three boulders hiding the tent form view. Then in about thirty minutes later a strange pink wave washed over the tent and made every shadowling fall onto their backs. We had no idea what that was about but for a precaution, we took turns doing a patrol around the tent.

After a week we decided to leave these caves and head to an old castle ruin in a forest. However, we just have finished taking down the tent and I had finished getting my family ready for the journey. Applejack was saying that he couldn't shadow wrap to the outside. Even with the pendant that the prince gave me. You could still shadow warp away from it. You just could shadow warp into its area of influence. We know that the only other reason for this was that there was nearby shadowling stuck inside a shadow warp nearby and are preventing us from shadow warping out of the caves.

It could only mean one thing. There is an army of shawling nearby and they are going to fight us. Quickly we made our way to the entrance of the caves and found a tenth of the whole shadowlings army in front of us. I don't know how they found us but I knew that I had to get my family out of there. And to do that we would need to break through an army of shadowlings. Staying close to my family and made my brother charge at the army before us.

The battle was fierce as our blades clashed with the army of shadowlings. I would use the shadows around me to protect my family and attack any shadowling that gets to close as for my brothers. They fought against the army in their own unique ways. Biltz would attack them from above and slam down on any shadowlings that were underneath him. Berry would blast them with a small canon that he has been working on for a while, but once it stopped working he used his wrap blade instead. Applejack was just charging through them and knocking everything out of his way. Butterscotch was causing any shadowling that was nearby him to lose 95% of their eye sight making them effectively blind and knocking them out. And Dusk was using his magic to incase shadowlings in spikes of emeralds coming from the ground. In the end, we were the only ones left standing. However, we soon learn that it was only the first wave of many to come. As strong as the Templars are together, we couldn't keep this battle going on forever. Especial with Aurora and Maple here with us.

Our brother Dusk Shine said that he could get Aurora and Maple out of there, and then we would meet again at the castle. I wanted to take them out of there myself, however, before we could finish there was a sudden cave-in and I couldn't get my shadows up in time. Once it was over, I found Aurora trap under a rock and was protecting Maple with her body. I move the rock out of the way and discover that Maple was knocked out from the cave-in but was fine. However, Aurora could not walk on her own. She then gave me Maple along with her necklace and told me to get her out of there. I took Maple from her and place her on my back holding her there with my magic. I didn't want to leave Aurora here but then Dusk picks her up and places Aurora on his back. He told me that he will carry her out of here.

As the next wave of shadowlings came to fight; the others went to fight them off to buy us some time to escape. We were so close to freedom, however, when we exit the cave we were stopped by Princess Celestia along with the royal guard behind her. I don't know why she was there, but I knew that this was the end of the line. There was no way we could fight the royal guard and protect the girls on our back at the same time. However, Dusk Shine had other ideas and began to force a shadow warp into his own shadow. I saw what he was doing, but I couldn't stop him in time. I watch in horror as Dusk fell into his own shadow taking Aurora with him. I reach out to her and she reaches out to me saying my name before disappearing into the shadow. Quickly I move Maple off my back and into the air as I landed on my side avoiding hurt her. I move Maple back to me hugging her close as I paw at the ground where I last saw Aurora. They were gone and that was the last time I have ever seen them again. If only he wait for the Princess to explain herself maybe they would still be here.

The Princess came here to stop the fighting under her castle and had her guards help the Templars fight off the remaining changelings. In the end, I knew that the shadow hive has lost at least a 40% of its fighting forces in that fight. And I lost Aurora and Dusk. Once my brothers join me outside, I beg the Princess to help me find the one I lost. She asked me why would she do such a thing for changelings? And I told her that Aurora is the love of my life and now she is lost to me once again. And I can't let Maple grow up without knowing her mother. She agreed to help me but told me that if I were to stay in this lands. Then we would need to look the part, considering that changelings just attack the capital a week ago.

We agree with her demands and we all used up the last of our morph available to change into ponies. Biltz went with a light blue pegasus but couldn't decide on what color mane he wanted to he chose all of them including white and black at the ends. Berry wanted to stand out so he went with a pink earth pony with a macking mane. Butterscotch also turning a pegasus but with a yellow coat and pink mane. He said he saw the colors on a poster before and thought it would look nice. I was going to change into a unicorn with a white coat and a blue mane to match Maple, but Celestia said that an indigo mane would look better. I did not know why she said that or why she suggested that Applejack should go as an orange earth pony with a blonde mane. But I thought it would be a nice color to pick from. She then had us separate into different towns until she finds them.

She said that if we all where to go to live in one town together it would look suspicious. Two to Ponyville, one to Canterlot, one to Cloudsdale, and the last one to Appaloosa. She said that we would keep in contact with us once we reach our new house. She also said that the mayors of the towns would be waiting for us with our back stories and we were supposed to roll with it. I should have asked her what she meant by that but I the only thing that was on my mind was finding Aurora. My first days at Ponyville were as you would expect. With all the chaos and random events that kept happening every other day; I was scared to even leave my house. I thought for sure that the princess was just trying to get rid of me. Sending me to this death trap of a town.

But let us fast forward two years.

Maple was finally able to go to school when a royal guard came to my house. I told Maple to head to school while I talk with him. He told me that they have found Aurora. I was filled with joy but then he said he wasn't finished.

"What happen?" I asked Exclusive,

"He said that Aurora was reported dead in the woods of Ponyville seventeen years ago. When a guard went to investigate a campsite."

"But how is that possible!?"

"Shadow wrapping is dangerous enough on it own but even worse if used on one's own shadow. Like I said only three shadowling have ever done that successfully. And now we know what happened to the others, they were lost in time in the realm of shadows."

"That doesn't make any sense. It must have something to do with the principle of how a shadow wrap works. Did you tell Maple?

"It was one of the hardest things that I ever had to do. That is why I don't want to fight anymore. I don't want to lose Maple like I lost Aurora. I don't think my heart can take it. So I did my best to protect her and move on with my life without Aurora. I thought that I was never going to be happy as I was with Aurora." He then moves in front of me and touches the side of my face rubbing it softly, making me blush again, "That was until I found you, Jessica."

"Exclusive." I said moving his hoof away, "We have already been through this. But how your story ends doesn't make any sense to me."

"What do you mean?" he said tilting his head to the side.

"A friend of mine who lived in Ponyville her whole life said that when she was a little filly. She knew a mare by the named Aurora."

"What does that how to does with anything?"

"She was there when the Grauds came to her campsite. And she said that Aurora was still alive when they took her away."

"What!" Exclusive shouted,
