Author's Note

Bonus chapter! (in fact it is because if it is two small chapters and a large one I will not be able to post all the small ones before the story ends)

Memories of the past: Nightmare.

It was a sunny day, a verdant pasture stretched as far as the eyes could follow, and near a single tree there were two figures, I walk slowly towards them, were black, completely black, however, when I was a few meters away I see! I saw the darkness disappear and reveal my family! Maria! Mia! Tears formed immediately... They were there! I began to walk towards them, feeling my body become heavy, my heart was beating insanely, they were there! I try to wipe the rivers of tears in my eyes with my hands, but it's useless, but who cares? Who cares if someone sees me crying? "Darling! It's me!" she seems to have woken up a short time ago, yawning and wiping her eyes, but when she heard my voice she rejoiced! A smile, that smile, the smile that stole my heart! It was her! So she saw me... I never heard her scream like that, she took Mia in her lap and ran... My Maria ran! There was something behind me! I turn, hate is already invading my heart! I take two horns in my vest and prepare to find... Nothing, there was nothing, just the infinite pasture, nothing...

"Maria! Everything is fine!" I run towards her, "stop Maria! I will protect you!" I'm approaching, "Maria don't run! What did you see ?! Where's the monster !?" I got her! I hold her arm taking care not to hurt Mia, "everything is fine!"

Her eyes... The fear, I've never seen her show that look... It looked like she was looking at a monster... A monster... "H-h- help! Damian! HELP DAMIAN!"

"Maria... It's me..." she wouldn't listen, just struggled and tried to let go of her arm, while Mia... While Mia cried wildly... I... I let go of her arm, she falls to the ground doing everything possible to protect Mia...

"H-h-help! Damian help!" is Me Maria... She just screams for my name as she runs away... Maria...

Then I hear a thunderous sound behind me, like thunder, I turn to see a mirror... And what I see... A tall being... Manic and lifeless eyes... Long claws... A giganticly large and black hair as the purest coal... Rags being worn as clothes... The mouth... Big and grotesque, very sharp teeth come out of it... Blood... Blood wrapped around the body... In the claws, in the jaw, this pale being was almost completely red because of the blood, around him were countless corpses... Many... Ponies... Gryphons... Dragons... So many bodies... It's me. This monster is me... This hideous creature...

Tears begin to form in my eyes, no more tears of joy... Tears of sadness, *sniff* not fear or anger, sadness... "Maria!" extends my hand, "please Maria come back!" she does not hear, just runs, runs away ... *sniff* "Maria... Don't leave me... Please... Maria..." then I feel, two wings curling around me, two purple wings...

"Don't worry Damian... Now you're with me, let's put a smile on this face!"

"Maria... Don't abandon me..."
