There were no records of the mysterious unicorn at all. None. Even the Canterlot Royal Archives didn't have any files on him and it had blown Rarity's mind because the Canterlot Archives had files on EVERYPONY. They even had files on ponies that have passed away hundreds of years ago and citizens of Equestria would sometimes go there for help with any extensive genealogy projects that they may have been working on.

When Mayor Mare had sent word to Rarity about the reply she got and dropped that bombshell of news, Rarity's mind reeled. Not only is that stallion all but on his death bed, but he also for all means and purposes had no one at all. That entire week when Rarity would visit she didn't see not one other pony stop in to see him. No family, no friends, no one. Every once and awhile Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie would stop in and see how he was holding up but only when they were they actually had free time. Pinkie Pie had to help out the Cakes with the store or help them with their twin foals most of the time and that was why she wouldn't come around that often and Fluttershy would stop in whenever she didn't have her hooves full with taking care of her animals or spending time with Discord.

As far as Twilight, Applejack and Rainbow Dash were concerned? They hadn't had a chance to come and and see him at all due to their hectic schedule. Twilight still hadn't returned from Canterlot yet and hadn't replied to any of Rarity's or the other's letters. Chances are it was because knowing Twilight she had probably locked herself in the library there and was so enveloped into her research that she hadn't had time to actually respond to any outside stimulation, let alone actually sending out a reply letter. In fact when she would get into one of her studying shticks the only ponies in Equestria that could peel her away from her books was Celestia or Luna themselves. Applejack on the other hoof had been busy working at Sweet Apple Acres nonstop since the whole ordeal and had only been seen in Ponyville a hoof full of times since the accident. And Rainbow Dash? Well she was busy with her duties with the local weather team and practicing her routines for the Rainbow Falls sporting event that was coming up later on in the year that she couldn't take some personal time off.

With all of her friends disposed of, that just left Rarity the only one who was actually able to keep tabs on his condition since business was still slow aside from an occasional five minute stitch job on some pony's outfits or fabrics. Sometimes Sweetiebelle (reluctantly) would tag along with her when her friends were preoccupied, but for the most part though she wouldn't go along unless she absolutely had to. Rarity wished that she could get ahold of Twilight or the other princesses. She knew that if anypony in Equestria would be able to either help his wounds or find out who this pony was it would be them. At the very least if Spike had stayed behind in Ponyville when Twilight left Rarity would have a direct line of communication with Celestia herself but alas, it was all for not. At one point, Rarity even considered asking Discord if he could come in and heal him after she had selflessly help fixed her roof but quickly thought against it. Even if he would've been willing, if he actually showed up at the hospital he would probably cause an outright panic. Even though he was 'good' now, a lot of ponies in Ponyville were still quite scared of him. That said Rarity knew that Discord's usefulness to this particular endeavor was at an end.

With a sigh Rarity continued making her way to the hospital like she had been for the past three and a half weeks. At this point she had just arrived to her destination. Who knows? Rarity thought to herself as she entered the front door. Maybe he might wake up on his own one day and will be able to tell me more about himself in person... that is if he wakes up.

As she entered through the set of double doors she noticed a different secretary behind the reception desk. Usually it was Nurse Redheart sitting there but that time there was a different mare in her place. It had taken Rarity a moment to recognize her but it then it came back and she remembered who she was. She had been the secretary that had flown off to get Fluttershy and the other ponies the night of the unicorn's accident. Rarity hadn't been sure of the pegasus's name, but one thing she did remember clearly about her is that she was really fast when she needed to be. That night Rarity honestly thought with how fast that secretary had flown out of the hospital that she would've given Rainbow Dash a run for her money in a race. She was a fiery red colored pegasus with bright blue eyes. She had a straight orangish yellow mane that hung over the sides of her face and she wore nurse's hat that was similar to Nurse Redheart's. As Rarity approached she had taken notice that the mare was reading the latest Daring Doo book while she was humming to herself and filing a hoof. When Rarity stopped behind the desk the athletic mare looked up from her book and smiled at her.

"Hello there ms. Are you here to visit a patient?" she said as she set her hoof file down on the desk.

"Yes I am as a matter of fact. My name is Rarity and I'm here to see the unicorn fellow that was brought in here almost a month ago. It's a pleasure to meet you miss...?"

"I'm Nurse Flameheart, Nurse Redheart's sister. I'm usually in the back helping with the patients but due to how you friend is doing Doctor Horse wanted Redheart back there because she has more medical experience than I do."

Rarity's pulse quickened as she expected the worse. "Dear Sweet Celestia, is he alright?" Did something happen to him last night?"

Nurse Flameheart seen how upset and worried her comment made Rarity and she quickly help her fore hooves up . "Whoa he's fine Ms. Rarity. It's just with how severe his injuries are the higher ups want all medically trained nurses in the medical wing just in case something were to happen."

"Oh really?"

"Yea the word just came down this morning and that's why you never have seen me up here before. You see, I'm a nursing assistant. I help patients use the restrooms if they need assistance, check their blood pressure, stuff like that.where-as I'm not medically trained to deal with an emergency they put me up here."

Rarity breathed a sigh of relief and she put a fore hoof to her chest. "Oh my goodness that's a relief. I'm sorry I got so worked up like that darling. It's just when you said that I assumed the worst."

"Nah your cool girl." Flameheart said as she got out a clipboard out from under the desk. "I completely understand. It's not everyday that we see injuries like his in Ponyville so I get where your coming from. Here, just sign in and I'll take you back to see him."

I like her. Rarity couldn't help but think to herself as she used her magic to levitate a pen from a cup on the desk and began to file out the paperwork Flameheart had sat in front of her. Once she was done Nurse Flameheart took the clipboard back and handed Rarity a visitors pass.and stood up from behind the desk. Rarity followed her as she cliped the visitor's badge on her saddlebags.

"So are you like his sister or something?" Flameheart said as she held the door open for Rarity.

"Oh no we're not related. I'm just checking on him to see how is doing. I really hope he pulls through this." Rarity said as they walked through the open door. Once Rarity was through Flameheart followed next to her and the door closed with a loud clack.

"I see." as she waved to a doctor that was in a patient's room that they were passing. "So how long have you two been dating?"

Rarity almost tripped at the sound of that and the vases in her saddlebags made a small clink as the settled. She blushed and quickly regained her balance."Oh non you've got the wrong idea. I don't even know him. I just uh-"

Flameheart began to laugh which made Rarity blush even deeper. "Hey relax I'm just messing with you." She said as they rounded the corner that was down the hall from the unicorn's room. Once she stopped laughing she continue. "Hey in all seriousness though, I think what your doing is pretty cool. I'm glad that he has somepony that cares about him as much as you do even if they don't know him very well. I've seen you come and visit him every day so if that's not genuine concern then I don't know what is."

They arrived at his room and Nurse Flameheart opened the door for Rarity and they both walked in. Inside the room, Nurse Red Hear stood to the right side of the stallion's bed hooking up a fluid bag to the IV that was hooked up to him. The site wrenched Rarity's heart. The stallion was laying in a full body caste that was being held up by a suspension system that was connected to his bed. The stallion's eyes were the only thing that was visible about his form and there was a breathing tube that entered into his muzzle to breath for him. The IV that nurse red heart had been changing was connected to him by a hole that was in his cast over top of his left hoof that had all sorts of different fluids that were being pumped into him. On the his right was a heart monitor that was slowly beeping in rhythm to his heartbeat. there were two chairs in front of the wall that were at the foot of his bed and a small table in front of the window next to them.

Tears came to Rarity's eyes as she beheld his broken body. Despite how many times she's seen him it never got any easy for her. Visions of that night flashed before Rarity's eyes as she remembered his limp form laying on her sewing room floor. Thick blotches of blood soaking into his black fur that matched his deep red colored mane. It was just too much. "Celestia above, have mercy on him..." She said quietly as a tear slid down her cheek.

Nurse Flameheart seen how distraught Rarity had started to get and she cleared her throat and to get her sister's attention. Nurse Redheart looked from her sister to Rarity and her eyes went wide when she realized what was going on. She quickly finished what she was doing with the IV and began to trot to the door. Once she got close to Rarity she put a reassuring hoof on shoulder but she didn't say anything. Everyone in that room knew that the odds of him actually recovering were nearly impossible so Nurse Redheart didn't try to give any kinds of false hope. "Rarity if you need anything you let us know and we'll get it for you. Your welcome to stay as long as you like okay?"

Rarity only gave a slight nod and thanked Redheart as both her and her sister both exited the room. Being alone, Rarity walked over to the small wooden table in front of the and levitated the vases from her saddlebags and put them on the little table in the sunlight. She tried to reassure herself as she put them neatly into place that the unicorn would be fine but even if he did wake up Rarity knew that he would never be able to walk again. While she thought about it made her feel even worse considering no pony knew who his family was or where he came from to let anypony that might know him what had happened.

These might be his final days and he has to spend them alone. She thought as she gave a slight sniffle. Good or bad, nopony deserves that.

When she had the vases put meticulously into place she used her magic to levitate her saddlebags off and set them on the free chair by the door and she sat down in the chair that was in front of the window.

The room itself was small. The walls were painted a pure white color and here and there had paintings of different locations of Equestria and ponies hanging here and there. Above Rarity's head a big blue clock slowly ticked away and every so often the respirator would hiss with the unicorn's breathing. As she listened to the various instruments in the room making their various sounds, Rarity was hit with an almost palpable feeling of confidence that she couldn't explain and she smiled at the unicorn. "There's still hope for you yet darling. Just hang in there." She said as she sniffled once more and wiped a tear from her eyes.

As she sat and listened to the mechanical noises ringing in the room she was about to pull out the latest fashion magazine that she had brought along from the boutique when the heart monitor started to beep a little faster. Rarity quickly looked at the unicorn to see if something was wrong with him but he looked like he always did. Still though, of all the times that Rarity had visited him he heart rate had never spiked like that. There didn't seem to be anything amiss about him and after a few minutes Rarity thought that things were fine.

But then his eyes opened.

They started slowly; barely any movement almost like he was sleeping. The they slowly opened up revealing a set of golden orangish colored eyes. The thing that had really stuck out to Rarity was his right eye had a very distinguishing birth mark in it. It was a light blue streak that ran through the his golden orangish iris that looked like a lightning bolt.

The unicorn looked directly up at the ceiling for a second the quickly closed his eyes once more. His heart monitor started to beep even faster and the breathing machine started to increase in its rhythmical hissing.

Rarity's heart jumped. The pony was actually waking up, Rarity knew that, but with haw fast his heart was beating made Rarity worried that something was terribly wrong.

"Oh my starts he's waking up!" Rarity said as she jumped to her hooves. Without thinking Rarity opened the door with her magic and ran out of the room; the sound of her hooves the only sound in the long hallway as they echoed through the corridor.

Rarity rounded a corner at the intersection at the end of the hallway and ran to the nurses station. There, Nurse Red Heart was talking to another nurse Rarity didn't know and when they heard her galloping down the hall the both turned and looked at her. Nurse Redheart quickly became concerned. "Is something wrong? What's a matter?" she asked as Rarity came sliding to a stop. The nurse that Redheart had been talking to recoiled because she thought she was going to run into right into her and she braced for an impact that didn't come.

Rarity called out as quickly as she could exhasperated. "The stallion is waking up. He opened his eyes and his heart monitor is going crazy!"

Nurse Redheart's eyes grew as wide as dish plates. "It's not possible. With the kind of trauma he endured he should've been out for months if he even woke up at all! If he's conscious he might not remember what had happened to him and he might freak out."

Nurse Redheart looked at the nurse that Rarity didn't know. The pudgy blue and white mare clearly worried about the situation. "Go and tell Flameheart to call out a rapid response on his room now!" she said as she began to trot towards the intersection that led to the unicorn's room. When she reached the intersection she called out to a stallion nurse that was at the opposite end of the hallway who was reading a medical chart. "I'm going to need your help in room 117 now!"

The stallion looked at her and Rarity and dropped the chart he had been reading while the pudgy blue nurse ran past him to the reception desk and immediately headed with them to the stallion's room. As they turned the corner at the intersection and made their way down the hall and got closer to the room the began to hear the heart monitor beeping. It was going nuts.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Hearing that Nurse Redheart called to the stallion nurse that was following close behind.

"Get Doctor Horse. Tell him the patient is conscious! His heart rate is heart rate is increasing, get a crash cart on standby!"

The stallion quickly stopped and ran to do what he was told and Rarity felt a gaping void of dread grow inside her chest; the optimism she had just felt moments ago completely forgotten.

The two mares barged into the room and Rarity ran to the foot of the bed as Nurse Redheart ran to look at the readout the heart monitor was giving.

"Blood pressure is 190 over 120! We need to calm him down or he's going to have a stroke!" Red Heart called out as she looked at the unicorn with a worry etched over her face. Rarity noticed the caste that covered the unicorn's horn began to glow a soft orange and she stood there shocked. With how hurt he had been it should've been impossible for him to use any kind of magic. Should have been.

Just before Rarity could say anything about the unicorn's horn Dr. Horse ran into the room. He was light brown stallion that was slightly taller than Rarity. He had a light brown fur and sported a doctor's coat. His mane was a deeper shad of brown and was kept up in a stylish way but as he ran a single strand of hair came loose and fell over one of his eyes. "Call a rapid response for 117, we need a crash cart in here now!"

Dr Horse ran to the opposite side of the bed that Nurse Redheart was standing as Flameheart came over the intercom through the whole hospital. "Code Rapid Response, Room 117. Code Rapid Response, Room 117!"

Rarity had felt as though she was about to cry and she covered her mouth with a hoof. Oh sweet Celestia... Rarity thought as a single tear slid down her cheek.
Doctor Horse leaned over the unicorn so he could look him in the face. "Sir you need to calm down. You're at Ponyville Hospital right now. You were in a severe accident and if you don't calm down you could have a heart attack or stroke out."
As he said that the glowing from the unicorn's horn started to grow even brighter until it was glowing a shining golden orange. Random crackles of magic energy began to surround his horn and jump off from the tip of his horn and Doctor Horse took notice. "Nurse Redheart look out, he's about to using his magic!"

Nurse Redheart took a couple of steps away from the bed as the stallion doctor from earlier came rushing in pushing a crash cart full of various medical items. As the stallion seen the unicorn's horn he stopped dead in his tracks at the foot of the doorway and let out a shocked gasp.

Rarity let out a yelp as the unicorn's eyes began to glow an extremely bright red. The whites of his eyes no longer visible and were instead replaced with a glow that was bright as a burning fire that emanated from underneath the stallion's caste.

"He's having a magical surge!" Doctor Horse yelled. "We need to sedate him or he's going to seriously hurt somepony!"

The stallion that was in front of the medical cart quickly grabbed a syringe and a tiny vial full of sedative. As he filled it Doctor Horse continued to try to talk to the unicorn and try to calm him down. The breathing machine made louder and louder hissing sounds as the unicorn's breathing got even more faster and erratic. His heart monitor was beeping so fast that it sounded like it was about to short circuit.

"Get down!" Nurse Redheart screamed as a bolt of orangish red magic shot from the unicorn's horn and hit the doctor that was standing at the door. The stallion let out a scream as he was launched through the air and smashed into the wall behind him. The concussion from the impact of the magic sent the cart toppling over and it landed on the floor with a crash and its contents spilled out all over the hallway floor. As the stallion nurse landed on the floor he went limp and the freshly filled syringe of sedative fell out of the grasp of his hoof and rolled into the room. Nurse Redheart seen it and made a go for it but as she moved another magical bolt discharged from the unicorn's horn towards her. The bolt missed her head by millimetres and it left a patch of singe fur on her face. The magical bolt struck the open door and it blew a hole in the middle of it which caused Rarity to cover her face to protect her from the shards of broken wood that went everywhere.

Time seemed to stop and Rarity took in all of the carnage that was going on around her and was to shocked to move. She heard multiple sets of hoof steps coming from down the hall way outside of the door as both security and more nurses ran toward the disaster that was rapidly developing. Outside of the window next to her she heard the sound of a dog barking frantically while the hissing sounds and various beeps of the medical equipment continued to go crazy.

As Rarity took her hoof away from her face it was replaced by a look of horror. Doctor Horse let out a cry for help as orange magical aura began to shimmer and glow over the heart monitor and the bed the unicorn was lying in. The heart monitor began to groan and creek as the glow from the unicorn's horn and eyes grew even brighter. The black screen on the heart monitor broke it the black casing around it began to collapse in on itself. With a series of sparks the entire console was completely crushed causing Nurse Redheart to cry out and duck to the floor for cover. The pole that the heart monitor was connected to snapped in two and sent the crushed remains of the heart monitor itself to the floor in a heap right next to Nurse Redheart. The group of ponies that Rarity heard earlier finally made it to the room and looked in shock at the scene rapidly unfolding. Rarity could see two younger mares stoop down and check on the stallion nurse that had been struck by the magic bolt and thrown from the room.

Doctor Horse cried out in desperate terror "We need a sedative right NOW!!!"

The nurse in the front of the door reached down to grab the filled syringe that had rolled into the room but as he started to run to give it to Doctor Horse an extremely high pitch noise started to pierce the air. The noise was so loud that it made everypony cry out in agony and put the hooves to their ears to fruitlessly try to block out the deafening sound. Rarity couldn't think. The sound was so loud that covering her ears with her hooves didn't do anything to help and she cried out alongside of the doctors and nurses. Magical discharges shot through the air and scorched the walls, each one getting brighter and more destructive as the dry walls of the room began to melt and break off as they were struck.

The unicorn and his bed began to slowly levitate into the air and as it did so the high pitch noise increased in frequency along with it. Rarity needed to do something and she knew it. She opened her eyes and her gaze fell onto the filled syringe that had been dropped a second time. When the stallion dropped it as he fell it rolled close to Doctor Horse but the doctor wasn't able to take his hooves from his ears. As she watched the doctor scream and convulse on the floor, Rarity knew that she up to her to stop this madness. She was the only unicorn in the room and her magic was there only hope. Rarity could see the open port of the IV that ran into the unicorn's front hoof, but as the bed slowly continued to rise the cord was starting to grow taught. It that IV cord got ripped out Rarity knew that they were doomed.

Another arch of magical energy shot out and hit the light above the unicorn's bed and sent glass and sparks everywhere. Some of the sparks landed into the filled trash can that was full of paper towels and disposed medical gloves and it started a small fire that started to quickly spreed.

Rarity knew that it was now or never. She used her magic and grabbed the syringe and started to levitate it to the IV just as a bolt of magic struck the wall just above her sending dry wall and magical sparks to rain down over her. The tiny burns she got from the cinders on her fur almost made her loose focus and drop the needle, but she held fast and levitated it toward the IV port which miraculously was still connected to the unicorn's front leg despite of everything that was going on. Rarity knew that she had to act quick. If the stallion destroyed the IV machine like he did with the heart monitor then there would be no way to get the sedative in his veins. Using all her focus she hovered the syringe into the open IV port in the line and pushed the plunger with her magic.

Her task done, she lost focus on her magic and the needle fell to the floor with a hardly audible clink; the noise was even louder now. It was like the sound itself was bearing right into Rarity's brain like a dagger. She felt every pulse from her rapid heartbeat pulsing through her ears and her skull.

I can't take... much... more...

Since the IV port was connected to one of the unicorn's major arteries it didn't take long for the sedative to take effect on the stallion. Just when Rarity thought her ear drums were about to burst and she began to slip away, the aura that surrounded the unicorn and his bed erupted outwards in a massive shock wave that blew everypony that was in the room near the unicorn towards the back wall who each hit with a massive thunk while the hospital itself shook violently on it's foundations. Rarity had the wind knocked out of her from the violent impact and the only sounds that followed was the bang of the unicorn's bed crashing back down to the floor that was instantly followed by the sound of breaking glass echoing throughout the hospital as all the windows simultaneously blew out from the massive force.

By Celestia, who is this stallion?! Rarity thought to herself as she was showered by glass from both the window next to her and the vases that she had brought in. Little did Rarity know, this was only the beginning.

Author's Note

It finally here :D. After a long hiatus I'm back and I want to apologize for the delay for anyone who has been keeping tabs on my story. Honestly, I have been extensively busy working and doing things around my home so I haven't had much time to type as of late because I have to physically bike and walk everywhere since my car broke down a little over a month ago. Anyways, here it is; part two of chapter one. Don't worry I'm still working on the book and the next installment I make will (finally) be the end of chapter 1. Stay tuned for more and take it easy everypony :)
