King sat on the throne in the castle ruins in silence. Thinking as he always did, as he pondered on the world around him. As a voice entered his head reminding him of a mans words that had been told to him.

'Conflict blinds our judgement, blinds us from the truth that hides from everyone it can. We have to earn its trust, so it will allow us to make things clearer than they once were; allowing us to pass a judgement that may be fair on actions or words, but we must never let conflict blind our view on the world around us, for truth can be your enemy, or you ally' the voice echoed in King's head as he was snapped back into reality as he hopped off the throne and began to walk through the ruins thinking even more, but soon reminded himself to stop.

He walked through the ruins until he came to a door and opened it and beyond it was a rebuilt room that was somewhat livable. He walked over to the worn down night stand and pulled on the drawer and inside was a crystal that was black. He picked it up and walked into the middle of the room. And set it right side up. He looked at it as he had a memory. A memory of when he was abused and used for others own gain. Although. all of those people, or demons, were dead.

He started to become angry as he raise his paw and smashed the crystal. Following the action King felt a seeding pain go through his paw and looked down and saw a piece of the crystal sticking struck through his paw. He sat down and grabbed it with his other paw and pulled it out a scream of pain as he pulled the crystal out. He grabbed a piece of cloth and ripped it and started to wrap it around his paw.

"Fucking hell that hurt." King said as he made his way to a desk that was pushed up against a wall.

He limbed through the abandoned castle making his way back to the throne room. The trip was quiet, the plague of silence once more threatening him yet again. The silence was killing him; with his paranoia it made things much worse for him. He had walked for what felt like hours when it was really just a few minutes at most. He looked at the armor stands as he made his way to the back of the room, going behind the thrones and saw a passage that lead down, deep into the castle. He kept walking through the abandoned tunnels that had once been used for ambassadors to safely get to the castle incase anyone wanted to assassinate one of them, but long since have been abandoned. He kept walking down until he came into an open room with a river running through it. The river server as a water supply for the castle and all of the village that lived just outside the castle. He noticed that some fish were in it. Despite not needing food he still needed the energy that came with it. Since his paw was basically destroyed. He had an idea, but he really did not want to do it. He did not know the temperature. He waited for a fish to hop out of the water. As it did King snapped at it missing by a couple of inches while getting a face full of ice cold water. Which made his fur stand on end as he jumped in surprise from the cold water.

He shook the water off of himself and got ready for another try. As a fish jumped up he snapped his mouth again at it and he caught it. He chopped down on it killing it. He set it down as he felt proud of himself.

"Second try what do you know." he said as he picked it back up and walked to the passage and made his way back up into the throne room where he would enjoy his meal for once.

After some walking he eventually came to the throne room. How no one ever found that was beyond him. He sat up on the Lunar throne and ate his well deserved meal wondering how pissed the princess must be.

"Speaking of which wonder what their doing?" King said out loud as he shrugged and proceeded to eat his fish. "This makes me miss fish sticks."

Celestia paced back on forth in front of the throne mumbling to her self. King just escaped and she had no answers. To make matters worse the guards that stood guard around him were also gone. The seals were cracked or destroyed completely. Meaning it was caused before hoof, but how could it have been done.

"Sister you must calm down we will catch him." Luna said which gained a questioning glance from her sister.

"I would have expected you to be made or even furious." Celestia said.

"Oh sister I am very angry and furious. I just know how to suppress it and know to focus on finding out where he could have gone." Lua said as she sat on the throne.

"King is out of his cage, there is no telling what King will do. He could do anything he wanted." Celestia said as her blood began to boil.

"Sister I promise you we will find him and when do we will make sure that he stays imprisoned, permanently." Luna said as a evil smile grew on her face as she had an idea.

Fluttershy and her friends were walking through the Everfree forest as they were going to the castle of the two sisters. As they walked through the dangerous forest it had become less and less scary for her due to them going through it on multiple occasions that were never the good occasions. They kept on walking until they came upon a clearing and saw that the rope bridge was still up which they were relieved for. As the crossed the bridge something did not feel right. The unicorns in the group felt something wrong, but could not put their hoofs on it. So they just brushed it aside as it just being the ruins that spooked them a little.

As they approached the door that feeling came upon them again except everypony could feel it. As Twilight Sparkle opened the door to take a peak, but saw nothing so they continued. When they got to the throne room they felt it again, but it was not as bad as they felt before. Moving on they all departed to explore different parts of the castle. Rarity grabbing any fabric she could find, Apple Jack and Rainbow Dash were as usual challenging each other, and Twilight was going to the private library that belong to Celestia.

As she walked she had begun to notice that this part of the castle seemed to be very well kept and wondered what spell could have done this and how long it had been up. Then she noticed an object was in the middle of the floor and picked it up with her magic and saw it was a fish bone. Which made her curious or the fact that where would the fish come from and who else was here. She kept walking and noticed that it was going in the direction that the private library was which made her quicken her pace. When she got there she saw that the door was closed. As she silently opened it she looked in and saw that the room had been rebuilt to an extent that it was livable. she walked in again silently so not to alarm anypony that might also be here. She then noticed that the door was open to the library. and peaked in and saw about nine books floating in the air. She wondered where and who was levitating them. She did not have to wait long as a cat appear from behind a book shelf levitating four more books in its aura.

She was so shocked she failed to notice that the feline had spotted her and she did not have time to react as a bolt of magic struck her in the chest knocking her back making her stumble onto her back. The feline stood on top of her with a blade to her throat. As a question that both entered their mind.

"Who are you" they both said in unison.
