The sounds of the forest is what I expected to hear when I woke up, what I got however was absolutely nothing. It was silent, quiet, no sound whatsoever. The area I was in however was different, it was a garden under the night sky, stars twinkling in the sky alongside a shining moon, lighting up the nature in the area. I had no idea where I was or how I got here but that wasn’t my main concern right now. My main concern was the Glowing being standing in front on me, it was pony shaped but it was much larger, and glowing with a night blue color. While I was staring at it, it decided to speak.

“So this is the creature that had his life force connected to my daughter’s? What a strange sight” it said in a masculine voice.

I got up and turned towards the glowing being but as my eyes set on it it disappeared.

“What? Where did it go? Who are you!? Where am I!?” I yelled out.

“Tell me creature, what is your name?”

“My name is Adam Darkeharte! I am a knight of the Everburn empire! Now tell me where I am!”

“Darkeharte? That is not your true name is it? Perhaps it was the one you chose? No matter I will learn why soon enough.”

“What are you talking about? Who are you? Answer me!”

The Creature chuckled, “You will find out soon enough, for now though you must return to the real world you are needed there. We will meet again Adam Darkeharte goodbye.”

“Wait what? No tell me who you are! Hey! Don’t ignore me! HEY!” I yelled as I suddenly woke up in an unknown room, I was not sure if that was a dream or not.
Perhaps I was going mad, but I would dwell on those thoughts later as I needed to move, I had no clue where I was but I didn’t have my armor or my sword and I needed to find them.

Looking around I saw the room was a light shade of grey blue, it had a fireplace near the bed I was on and the bed itself was Circular, it also had sun symbols placed around the room, which were very familiar with me. I would think more on those symbols later I needed to find my armor and sword first. Getting out of the bed I looked around for any signs of my armor, no signs at all yet.

Before I could think of a place for where my armor and weapon could be, I heard the sound of footsteps nearing the door, I dove behind the bed for cover and to hide from whoever was entering. I poked my head around carefully as the door opened and saw a pony enter the room, she was dressed in a maid outfit holding a tray of tea cups and a tea pot, she had cobalt blue coat with a light grey mane which was swept over to the side.

She walked in and placed the cups on the bedside table before noticing that the bed was empty, with a loud (and I mean loud) gasp she ran out of the room, probably off to tell whoever is in charge that I was awake or missing, cursing my luck I shot up from my hiding spot and ran out the door, I had an idea where my stuff could be, the armory.

I didn’t know where it was but I had to be quick with searching, I had no doubts that there were guards here and they would try to stop me. After a couple minutes of full on sprinting I was able to make it outside to a garden, I had an idea as soon as I hit the grass. Calling on my magic I asked nature for the direction of the armory, flowers grew around me and pointed straight ahead of me and another group of flowers pointed left, after thanking nature I ran full sprint again in the direction it had given me. After a few more minutes of running I was starting to tire, I slowed done a bit to save energy but I was still going at a steady pace, after another minute I had reached a room labeled armory, it had 2 guards standing outside it obviously guarding the weapons and armor inside, I ran straight at them and before they could react I knocked them both out with a swift punch, after opening the door and locking it behind me I ran through everything looking for any trace of my armor or sword, after rummaging around a bit I had found my sword, lying amongst a pile of dulled blades. I grabbed it and checked it all over, making sure nothing was wrong with it, after I had double checked to see if it was alright I put it back I held it at my side, I now had my weapon now I had to find my armor and fast, the guards were banging on the door now and I was running out of time.

The search for my armor was a lot easier than the one for my blade, the armor was lined up along the walls with the guards’ armor, I took it off the rack and put it on carefully , after making sure no part of it was damaged I turned around to face the door that now had the yelling of multiple guards behind it, they were banging on the door even harder than before, it was starting to break.

I put Terror bane into the ground and put my helmet on, lifting up terror bane I looked at the door ready to defend myself.
The banging on the door got louder and louder, and then suddenly it stopped, I was confused as to why it stopped but I was tense, I want going to let my guard down.
After a couple seconds of silence I heard sound beyond the door again, it was muffled but I could still hear it it was definitely female.

“Stand back everypony I’m going to blow it open!”

I called on Nature again to bring up a wall of vines to protect me as I waited for the explosion. I stood there behind the wall of vines waiting anxiously for it to blow open and for guards to rush in. After what felt like hours the door blasted open violently! Bits an pieces of the door hit the vine wall and the shockwave knocked me and my helmet to the floor.

I could hear the guards rushing in the room all ready with their weapons, all of which were pointed at me. I got up and readied my sword, I was about to charge them when the same feminine voice from before the door blew up spoke up.

“Lower your weapons guards, I do not want him hurt.”

All guards looked surprised and lowered their weapons, but I had mine up still, I wasn’t going to let my guard down.

Finally the body of the voice stepped through the broken door and stared at me. Her magenta eyes were watering as she looked into my grey green eyes. After a long tense silence she finally spoke, and what she said made my stance falter.

“Welcome home, Adam. Welcome home my son.”
