"Twilight, you can't teach and also be the headmaster. That's... That's retarded."

Twilight scowled at you. "I can do what I want with my school. And, just because you've given me this genius idea doesn't mean you are going to go without punishment. You've harassed my students, insulted them and my friends, and have brought shame to my school. I'm going to ask you to leave."

"Fine then. I really didn't want to come to begin with, but whatever. Have fun with your shitty school. You're teaching them common sense, by the way. Friendship lessons are dumb when it's not that hard to begin with."

Twilight stared at you, smirking. "Oh really? And what friends do you have?"

You put your hand on the hilt of your hammer. "This is the only friend I need. It's done more than what you, or any other person in this damn planet can do for me. It's my lifeline, my savior, and the one thing that doesn't spout shit 24/7. You wouldn't understand the bond between a hunter and his weapon without experiencing the troubles."

Twilight slowly walked around her desk, now standing in front of you. "My method of teaching teaches students that there are other ways to friendship. That friendship is magic, despite that being in either relative terms, or in other terms. Your way of 'friendship' is hardly existent. You preach violence, Anon. Why?"

You shrugged. "You'd never understand."

"How would you know?"

"Because you will never understand. Gascoigne, Laurence, Ludwig, Maria, Mergo, Micolash, you'd lose to all of them. Even with your magic, even with your friends, and even with your damned friendship. You think you've met adversity? You think you've stared defeat in the face and flipped it off? I have, and each time I was scared. Your world is weak, soft, and runs of a philosophy that kills more than it saves."

Twilight shook her head. "There you go again, preaching violence."

"I'd rather be a pessimist in a world of peace, than an optimist in a world of death." You said, before turning around and bashing the door open. It was passing period for the students, and before Twilight could follow you, you merged along with the students, even shoving some of them out of the way. She wanted you gone, right? You'd find something else to occupy your day with. Something that interested you more than this dumb school.

You exited the school and made your way down the stone path that led to town. You were going to explore a little bit, and gather what you could about any sighting of beasts in the surrounding area's. Perhaps they knew things, perhaps they didn't, but either way knowing the layout of the town would prove useful for a multitude of reasons.

While you slowly walked, you pulled out a small book. It was your journal, and inside it detailed every beast you encountered, with information on what it looked like, it's weaknesses, it's strengths, and if to avoid it or not. Beside each page of information laid a picture of the beast, or a drawing of it. It proved useful incase you ever forgot what a beast did, or what it was capable of. After all, seeing so many on a daily basis, you begin to merge them on accident.

You opened it to a random page.

You closed the journal. That was certainly the one thing you didn't want to see, or remember. You shook your head as you slipped it into your back pocket. If you were ever to encounter a 'Winter Lantern' in this world, you'd certainly end yourself before it could.

After all, looking at that horrid thing always scared you.

"Was it really okay to send that unknown creature with dear Twilight?" Luna asked Celestia as the both of them sat in the dining hall. They both were discussing the matter of the letter that Twilight had sent to them the day prior, detailing an event about Discord, and the encounter with him in the woods, as she was accompanied by the new creature, Anon.

"Think of it as a test."

"Come on Sister. Don't let your emotions get in the middle of something as serious as this."

"What do you expect, hm?" Celestia asked, looking up at her Sister. "Twilight and her friends have repeatedly stated about how they do most of the work in Equestria, and how all we do is 'laze about.' She even accidentally sent me a letter that was meant for her friend, Rainbow Dash, which said that she agree'd about how they are truly 'Equestria's Leaders.' Well, if she's such a leader, why doesn't she handle the mess by herself?"

"I've got to admit, it is quite funny. But, I'm a little timid on laughing at the matter. You've sent a copy of the letter to the officials, correct? Discord being involved is certainly an order that should be taken seriously. She detailed that this new creature was hurt in the process."

Celestia nodded. "Discord is the spirit of chaos, but I've never heard anything about him hurting somepony. It's quite strange. Plus, with him being the only one of his species in our world, he's considered endangered. If we were to let this slide by, we'd be in a heap of trouble. Not only with our own nation, but with the surrounding nations."

Luna nodded, peering off to a nearby window. In it, was stained glass, depicting of both her and her sister, reigning in the sky with the sun and moon side by side in the sky. "I'm sure that we won't have to worry about that. We'll just talk with Discord, and see what happened. Twilight and her new 'friend' might have been a little blindsided by him potentially, causing the witness of events to become... muddled."

"Perhaps."
