My eyes flicker open, a fog clouding my mind. "ah, what happened." I think out loud. I'm on the floor, my head hurting. I place a hand where it hurts, and I look around. Before me is the same place where I met Luna. Looking around, I'm unable to find her. I try and get to my feet, my legs wobbly at the start. I get my legs under me and start stretching them, the feeling of pins and needles flowing through them. The fog in my mind clears slightly, remembering what happened. I had a panic attack from the realization. That I'm not in my world, and t-that I k-killed someone. I get my breathing under control before I have another one.

I start aimlessly walking, looking around for Luna. After a while, I start hearing crying from up ahead. Knowing who it is, I make my way to her. Luna starts to appear in the distance, heading towards her. When I get there, I see a horrible sight. Her fur's matted with blood, and one of her legs is bent the wrong way. I kneel beside her and ask, "Luna, who did this to you?" She jumps and turns suddenly. Seeing it's me, she calms down slightly. "oh, it's you. How have you been?" She asks me. She's trying to be strong, but her voice betrays her.

I look at her wounds, trying to figure out any way to help her. Then I got an idea, "Luna, do you know any words from my people's magic?" She tilts her head, "what do you mean." She asks me. "I can use my species magic. I was hoping you know some words," I say to her. Her eyes widen in realization. She says, "I do, but I don't know much. Come closer. I need to touch you with my horn." I lean in my head close to hers, seeing a slight red tint through her furred cheeks. As soon as her horn touches my forehead, a flash of light passes. A kaleidoscope of words flashes through my mind. As fast at it appeared, it vanished. I lean back, hands clutching my head.

The words and their meanings, filling my mind. Sano, (Heal, cure), Cognitio, (Mind, Memory, Cognition), Messis, (Crop), Tutamen, (Armor, Protection) and Volatus, (Flight). I stumble back from Luna, unable to see. I blink my eyes rapidly and rub them, trying to get my vision back.

Then my eyesight comes back. I see that Luna looks worried at me. I shake my head and start walking back to Luna. As I walk up to her side, looking over the wounds. I kneel beside her, "I'm going to try and heel you," I say. She looks at me skeptically, "Did a word come to you when I used the spell?" She asked. I nodded and placed my hands on her withers. I close my eyes and think about the wounds, picturing them closing back up and the leg moving back into place. "Sano." My hands start glowing a soft golden shine.

My eyes, glowing white and black again. A quiet gasp comes from Luna as the wounds begin to heal themselves. The leg moves back into place. I start to sweat, and it's getting harder to breathe. At the last wound closes, my hands and eyes stop glowing. I look over at Luna's face. Her eyes are wide looking at me. "Your eyes... No, it can't be." She says hesitantly. I look at her confused, not understanding what she means. "There's a prophecy about a human, whose power of the magic words knows no bounds. The eyes of the human are light and dark, who would start the chain of events to change the world." She said with her eyes filled with shock and horror.

"What are you talking about?" "I don't even know 20 words of power," I say, looking confused. I go over some thoughts that I've been keeping to the back of my mind: How I got here, why I'm here in the first place, who or what sent me here, and now with what Luna just told me, the one to change the world? What does she even mean by that? I'll need to think about these another time. There are some more pressing matters to fix.

"Luna, if I'm the one you are talking about, then what am I..." I was interrupted when a low-sounding echo came from the nothingness around us. I hear laughter coming from all around. Luna start's shaking and begins to push me away. "you need to go. you can't stay here." I look at her, puzzled. I look around, not seeing what the issue is. Then I hear it, the laughter again. This time it's right behind me. I turn around and see a large pony, bigger than Luna. They smile at the sight of me, "so. I finally get to see you in person." She circles me, Looking me up and down. "you are not what I was expecting. You seem different than the other humans I've met before." I look at her, confused. "Who are you, and how do you know me?" She looks at me, annoyed, and says, "why I'm Nightmare Moon, the princess of the night, and the one who unlocked your magical abilities."

I look at her with a puzzled look, and I say, "so you are the one who was talking to me." Nightmare Moon nods. "What do you want with me?" I ask her. She stops walking and stands in front of me. She leans down, so we are face to face. "Why I want you to fight for me, as I said. I'll be returning soon. So I need your help to keep me alive." She smiles at me. I look into her eyes. "And what if I refuse?" I ask. Her horn lit up, and I couldn't breathe. I put my hands to my neck, but nothing was there. Yet the feeling of something wrapped around my neck was there. I start to be lifted off the ground, my vision going dark. Then it stops. I fall to the ground, hacking, and coughing, trying to get my breath back. "If you say no, you will not see the next day." She growled at me.

When my coughing stopped, and I got my breath back. I lay on the floor, at I look up at Nightmare Moon. I look over to Luna, her face filled with worry and pity. I whisper under my breath, "Cognitio Tutamen." (Mind, Protection). I begin to try and stand, with shaky legs, I stand up straight. I close my eyes and say, "Lux." (Light). A flash of light appears in front of me, which blinds Nightmare moon and lights the darkness around us. I hear her scream in pain as she staggers back, blinded. "Ignis," I thrust my hand out towards Nightmare moon, setting her on fire. I hear her screams of agony as she disappears. I keep the light suspended overhead as I walk over to Luna. I kneel again, and she rubs her eyes.

"So, what happens now?" I ask. Luna looks up at me when her vision comes back, "now, we wait and see what her next move is. You hurt her, which is surprising." She looks at me with surprise, "no matter. Right now, you need to wake up and plan for her arrival, do what you can, and stop her from turning the world into complete darkness." She pulls me in for a hug and wraps her forelegs around me. "now go, and win." My vision goes back, and I wake up.

I awake with a start, and I look around me. I'm in a medical bed. On my left are Lily and Nala, and to my right is a doctor sitting on the floor. 'must have scared them when I woke up.' I sigh and say to the pony, "sorry for scaring you." They look up at me and say, "y-you scared u-us more w-when you collapsed." 'Why are all these ponies so scared of me?' I get out of bed and look over to Lily and Nala, "you two ok?" I ask them. They nod and hug me, their eyes watering. "It's ok. It's ok. I'm right here." They pull back, and each kisses my cheek. I blush slightly and politely cough. "Well, should we get back to Opal? So we can take her home." They both nod, turning to the doctor and ask, "can you lead me to Opal's room, please." They give a sheepish nod and leave the room as we begin to follow them.

As we walk, I go back into my mind again, thinking of what Luna said. The next thing I know is, we are walking into Opal's room. I look at Opal, and She's awake. She looked at me, and fear filled her eyes. I lift my hands and slowly get to the side of the bed. "Hay, hay. It's ok. You're safe now. Nothing is going to hurt you." Opal slowly starts calming down and looks at me. "W-what new alpha going, do to Opal?" I looked at her with sadness in my eyes, "I'm going to take you home, and we are going to make sure what happened to you will never happen again." I give her a soft smile.

She smiles lightly, and I reach out and lightly pick her up, still shocked at how light she is. With Opal in my arms, she wraps her arms around my neck. I nod to the doctor and start making my way out of the hospital. We walked out of the mane doors. I look to see the sun is near its end. I start making my way down and through the town. "We need to get back. I fear the forest isn't safe at night." 'With what already attacked me in there, I'm scared of what comes out at night.

Ponies still run from me, my face drops. We pass through the town and start heading towards the forest. In the road are the five ponies from before. The blue and orange ones look like they're about to charge me. The white one looks sad at me, with the yellow one hiding behind them all, but the pink one, the pink one for some reason, hit me harder. The sadness in her eye, I can't explain it. I look at her, and I feel my heart hit the ground.

I keep my head up and look ahead, and start walking again. They all stand in my way, and I look down at them. "What do you want." Blue and orange still want to fight, whites face drops, yellow hides more, and pink does nothing. Nala and Lily hide behind me and start to growl lightly, and Opal tries to hide in my arms. "Why are you here" askes blue. "Dashy," says pink. I look at blue and say, "The little one in my arms got hurt. We came to the hospital to heal her." I retorted back. Blues' ears splayed back, looking saddened. The same happened to orange' ones.

"Next time, when someone or something comes to your town. Ether let them be, or say hello and get to know them. Not everyone you meet has a scheme." They all look at the floor. I sigh and say. "Look, I'll say it. I'm sorry for what I did to you too, but what I said still stands. Got it" They nod and step aside. "Thank you, and you." I look to the pink one, "the next time we meet, I would love to get to know you all." It was odd when I said that. Her hair got puffy again, and she said, "Okie Dokie Loki." Then she started hopping away. The other four looked at me with knowing smiles, and they all said in sync, "pinkie being, pinkie." Still being confused, I start to walk back to the forest.

My thoughts go back to what needs to be done, with everything, and how to make the caves safe. We're getting close to the mouth of the cave as we pass through the last thicket. We entered the clearing. Thankfully nothing happened on the way back. When we entered our home, we were met by the pack in the main hall, waiting for us. When they saw us, they jumped up and ran over to us. I passed Opal to one of the girls, who wanted to hold her, then I got bombarded with questions. I got asked how we were? What happened? Is Opal ok? Other questions along with them. I answered all of them. "We are all good and well, Everything went fine, and Opal is doing a lot better."

When everyone calmed down, we all headed to our beds. I lie in my bed, 'hopefully, the mattresses I ordered will arrive soon. Tomorrow I will need to sort out the supports for the mines. I don't want something like that happening again.' I hear a knock on my door, and I say, "Come in." The door opened, and Nala and Lily walked in. "You want to sleep in my arms again?" They both nod, and I chuckle. I pull back the sheets and say, "come on then." They smile widely and clime into bed with me, they hug into my sides, and it's not long before they're asleep. I close my eyes, planning my next moves to make their lives safer.
