From within the lands of Equestria, on the hometown of Ponyville, things have been relatively quiet. It had been almost a month since Cozy Glow had been exposed and taken to Tartarus for her crimes. How a young filly would be obsessed with power was beyond them. Though no matter how many times Twilight tried to reason with Cozy, saying that even though Friendship is powerful, Power isn’t why you make friends. And no matter how many times she tried; Cozy still thinks that Friendship was a waste of time. And in the end, she was so selfish, she was arrested for her crimes.

It was quiet at the School of Friendship, so Twilight and Spike decided to help out Applejack at Sweet Apple Acres. After placing the apples in their respected buckets and placed them in their Apple Cellar, Applejack closed the door and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

“Hoo-wee.” said Applejack with a sigh of relief “That should be enough for the day. Thanks again for helpin” me out, Twilight.”

“No problem, Applejack,” said Twilight with a smile “It’s good to be able to get away from work every now and then.”

“No, it’s not.” retorted Spike playfully, making Twilight pout at that whilst Applejack laughed at her friend’s reaction.

“Headmare Twilight.” called out a certain voice. When the two ponies and dragon turned to the said voice, they saw the Young Six coming along, one of them who talked was a fellow Pony named Sandbar “We helped finish the southern part of the field.”

“Thanks again for helpin” me out there.” said Applejack.

“You asked them to help out?” asked Twilight.

“They wanted to spend half of summer break here for a bit before they decided to go back home,” said Applejack “Plus they figured that they could also do some hard work in order to know how farming works.”

“Yeah,” said the Changeling Ocellus “It’s pretty exciting to know how farming works.”

And right on cue, Rainbow Dash arrived and said “Hey Twilight.”

“Oh, hey Rainbow, what’s up?” asked Spike.

“Just come to tell you that all of you are invited back to the Castle,” said Rainbow “Pinkie, Fluttershy, Rarity, Starlight and Granny Smith wanted me to tell you guys that lunch is ready.”

“Wait,” said Twilight out of curiosity “Why is Granny Smith there?”

“Oh, she said that she wanted to cook us some food to reward both us and our students for helping save Equestria from Cozy Glow.”

“Whoa, really?” said Yona “Yona not knows elderly pony can cook.”

“Are you kidding?!” said Silverstream excitingly “Her cooking is the best!! In fact, last time she came over, she helped the cafeteria folks in making out last food!!”

“So that would explain why the food tasted great that day.” thought Gallus out loud as he wondered about that day.

“Well shucks,” said Applejack “Ah was wonderin why mah granny wasn’t at home today.”

“Well come on,” said Smolder “No way I’m gonna say no to free food.”

They soon left Sweet Apple Acres to enjoy the food.

A few hours later, the Mane 6, the Young Six, Spike, Starlight and Granny Smith were enjoying the food that Granny Smith and the others made.

“Wow,” said Ocellus “This food is amazing Granny Smith.”

“Why thank you very much young Changeling.” said Granny with a chuckle.

“So, what’s the special occasion Mrs. Smith?” asked Rarity.

“Oh, just wanted to cook something as a way of thanking all of ya.” said Granny Smith.

“Thank us?” asked Fluttershy.

“For what Granny?” asked Pinkie Pie.

“Why help protecting Equestria and keeping it safe.” said Granny Smith “Ya’ll have worked together tryin” to protect others from dangers that everypony would be too scared to face. And thanks to yer students, ya’ll taught them to be even heroes of the day despite what that snake in the grass unicorn thought about ya when he failed to realize that ya’ll are just kids.”

The others couldn’t help but agree on that statement.

Because of the Elements of Harmony, Twilight and the others were able to save Equestria from many great evils. They stopped Nightmare Moon and saved Princess Luna, they stopped Discord and reformed him to be a good guy, they stopped Chrysalis and saved both Shining Armour and Cadance from their fate, they saved the Crystal Empire and stopped Sombra. Twilight was able to stop and save Sunset from herself, they stopped Tirek from wreaking Havok on Equestria, Twilight helped Sunset and her friends from Canterlot High to stop the Dazzlings, aka the Sirens, they stopped Starlight Glimmer twice and helped reformed her, they saved the Crystal Empire again, they stopped Chrysalis and helped reformed the Changelings, they even saved Stygian from the Pony of Shadows” clutches and they stopped the Storm King, despite the faults they had.

The Young Six were also proud, for because they learned of the magic of friendship, they were able to stop Cozy Glow’s crazy plans and saved Equestria’s magic. Despite what Neighsay said, they proved him wrong in the end as he realized his mistake.

Granny then thought out loud and said “Reminds me that time mah daddy told me the story of a young stallion who helped saved Equestria a lot like you youngins did.”

They looked at Granny Smith and were surprised to hear that, with Applejack saying “Really Granny?”

“Well of course,” said Granny Smith “Whereas Rockhoof is yours and Apple Bloom’s favorite, he’s mah favorite hero.”

“How so Granny Smith?” asked Spike.

“Well now that’s a story there.” said Granny as she sat with them and continued “See, there was this Stallion who went around and saved every pony from danger. In fact,”

She leaned in closer and said “He was the first ever male Alicorn that ever existed.”

Now all of them were shocked with their mouths agape, “What was his name again? Oh yeah, Silverbolt.”

“Silverbolt.” muttered Twilight, knowing that she would look into this later.

“So, he was some famous hero?” asked Rainbow Dash.

“Darn tootin,” said Granny as she smacked onto the table “He had the power to control the elements and was around during the time of Gusty the Great. In fact, he helped her defeat that there beasty goat named Grogar.”

Now all of them were interested in this pony, even the Young Six.

“He been around a long time,” said Granny Smith “He helped convince Clover the Clever, Private Pansy and Smart Cookie in secret to help unite the Pony Tribes because he knew that the leaders were too stubborn to listen to reason and was the one who helped gave them the magic, they needed to banish the Wendigos with the power of Friendship and Harmony.”

Granny leaned backwards as she thought about what else he accomplished “In fact, whilst he met Starswirl the Bearded around that time, he personally saw potential in both Princess Celestia and Princess Luna and helped them become Alicorns.”

Now Twilight was surprised by this, for Celestia and Luna never mentioned this before.

“And not just them,” said Granny “Turned out he helped other ponies along the way as well.”

She thought hard and well of other Ponies he fought alongside.

“He fought alongside Rockhoof and the Mighty Helm fight against the Demon Hydra from the darkest parts of Tartarus.”

Applejack was surprised by this with widened eyes.

“He traveled with Mistmane when she went studying and taught her the true meaning of beauty all around em,” said Granny, which surprised Rarity, until Granny snickered and said “He even loved her, but they chose to go their separate ways. And despite her sacrificing her youth, he still loved her.”. Now Rarity cooed and swoon at that, for it was quite sweet.

“He fought alongside Flash Magnus against a dragon demon and freed the dragons from the wrath of the Black Dragon eye empire.”

Now Rainbow was greatly interested as her smile widened.

“Oh yeah,” said Smolder out loud “Now I remember him. Dragon Lord Ember and his father kept telling us stories about him since every dragon were hatchlings. They said that the first Dragon Lord had seen nothing like it. He was the bravest pony to have ever faced him.”

“He even heard of the powerful Sphinx that tried to destroy that one village, and he knew that there Sphinx would talk in all riddles, so he taught Somnambula every single riddle the Sphinx knew, this she was able to outwit it without it even realizing it.”

Pinkie smiled widely at this, for she never expected that, even with her whole body twitching at the same time during her Pinkie Sense.

“And around that time, after Mage Meadowbrook helped cure her mother and villagers of Swamp Fever, he traveled with her and taught her every single medicine that not even she could think of.”

Fluttershy was also surprised by this.

“And…” said Granny as she looked at Twilight with a smirk, causing the said Alicorn to be curious about this “He and Starswirl the Bearded made over a thousand spells that they vowed to never, ever reveal to the Unicorns or any other magic user, and is still a kept secrets to this very day. One of them, being that there unfinished spell that they made.”

Now Twilight’s jaws dropped, for she couldn’t believe what she was hearing. She suddenly dashed over to Granny Smith, holding her old face and said “Seriously?!! He made that spell with Starswirl the Bearded?!!”

“Ya darn tootin, and from what else my pappy told me, he mentioned that Silverbolt was a gifted musician, always playing the most beautiful songs known to all of Equestria.” said Granny.

“Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh.” said Twilight as she wagged her tail like a cute little dog. “I gotta find information about this pony back at the library!!”

Twilight was about to teleport, until Spike tugged her tail hard, making her fall back on her flank, taking her by surprise as he said “Or, we could just send a message to Princess Celestia and, oh I don’t know, ask her if she knows about that specific pony?”

Twilight realized it, and giggled sheepishly before she said “Oh yeah, forgot about that.”

Spike took out a quill and began to write down whilst Twilight spoke to him.

Dear Princess Celestia

Today whilst my friends and I were helping on Applejack’s farm with the help of my students, Granny Smith told me something that I never heard before.

She told me of a Pony, who happened to be the first male Alicorn (If that’s true), that existed during the time of Gusty the Great, who fought alongside her in defeating Grogar and helped many others along the way, including helping uniting Equestria and helped the Pillars fight against Equestria’s dangerous monsters.

Granny Smith mentioned the pony’s name was Silverbolt.

She said that he helped the Pillars of Equestria during their journeys to make them what they were meant to be and wielded amazing powers that nopony had ever seen before and is also a master musician, or so they say.

I’ve never heard of anything about any of this before during my studies in Canterlot. Is there a book about him in the Equestrian Archive? If there is, I would like to borrow a few copies of it. If not, then I would like to hear about this certain pony if you or any of the Pillars have any Knowledge of him.

I would like to know as much of this pony as I can about this pony for my research. Is he alive? Does he live in Canterlot? Who is he? Please contact me.

Your faithful student and fellow Princess

Twilight Sparkle

After Spike was done, he rolled up the scroll and blew his green flame onto it, allowing him to send it straight to Princess Celestia.

“You really think that Princess Celestia would have a book about that pony?” asked Fluttershy.

“One can only hope.” said Twilight.

When all of a sudden, Spike belched up the scroll, gaining their attention as the scroll appeared.

“Wow, that was fast.” said Gallus.

“But uh, don’t you get nauseous or sick or anything when you do that?” asked Smolder.

“Don’t worry,” said Spike “You get used to it.”

Twilight immediately accepted the letter and opened it.

Dear Princess Twilight

Both Luna and I know about this pony you speak of

And Granny Smith is right about him.

If you and your friends have time, we would like all of you to visit Canterlot as soon as possible. The Pillars are also here today and they too can share what they know about this pony you speak about.

We will tell you everything as soon as you arrive.

Your Mentor and Fellow Princess

Princess Celestia

“Oh?” said Twilight after she read through the letter.

“Something wrong Twi?” asked Applejack.

Twilight folded the scroll and said “She wants us to be there at Canterlot as soon as possible. Apparently, she wants to share what she knows about this pony, and the Pillars are there too and they want to give what they have learnt too.”

Spike flew up a bit and said “Should I get a few things ready just in case?”

“No need Spike,” said Twilight as she waved a hoof “We’ll just teleport there and see what they know.”

As the rest of the Mane 6 and Starlight gathered near Twilight and Spike, Starlight looked back at the Young Six and said “You six stay out of trouble until we get back.”

“Don’t worry, we’ll be on our best behavior.” assured Ocellus.

As soon as they gathered, Twilight used her magic to teleport all of them straight towards Canterlot. Within moments, all of them arrived at the entrance of the Throne Room, with the guards taking notice. As soon as they looked around, they saw the doors and approached the guards.

“Excuse me,” asked Twilight “Is Princess Celestia waiting for us?”

“Yes, your highness,” said one of the guards “She and Princess Luna, along with the Pillars of Equestria are waiting for all of you inside.”

The guards soon opened the door, allowing the Mane 6, Spike and Starlight to walk in. Lore and behold, the two Princesses were sitting on their thrones, talking to Starswirl and the rest of the pillars.

“Ah, Twilight,” said Princess Celestia as she noticed her coming in, gaining Luna and the Pillars” attention when they saw them come in “Glad you could make it.”

“We came as soon as we got your message Princess Celestia.” said Twilight as soon as she and the rest of the Mane 6, Spike and Starlight stood close enough “You said that you knew about this specific pony?”

“Indeed, Twilight Sparkle.” said Starswirl as he and the Pillars were now focused on her “I once met him in my younger days when I was a young colt. I was surprised that he was an Alicorn and lived during the time of Gusty the Great.”

“He really lived around that time?” asked Starlight.

“Indeed, he did Starlight.” said Luna.

With their combined power, Celestia, Luna and Starswirl used their magic to summon a large stone. Once it lowered, Celestia said “This is what we call an Arcane Stone. Silverbolt created this to store memories and allow certain individuals to witness everything around them to what they witnessed.”

Twilight was fascinated by the stone as she looked at it, with Starswirl saying “Before he disappeared, he left this behind for Princess Celestia, saying that if she wants, she can review this and see what else she may have missed in order for her to be prepared for the future. But more importantly, so that she could remember the good times that could help her through her difficult time.”

“Now then,” said Princess Celestia “Everypony brace yourselves, and prepare to witness what I had observed since his absence.”

With the power of the stone, everything was engulfed into a holographic room.

They saw Equestria during its younger days. But they saw that ponykind from different kingdoms were being terrorized by monsters, led by Grogar as he stood atop a large cliff, using his bewitching bell to make himself much stronger, which shocked the Mane 6, Spike and Starlight, even the Pillars, for this was the first time that they saw all this.

They saw how Equestria had looked long before it was formed, but all of the creatures were at Grogar and his monster’s mercy, destroying everything in its path and ruled the lands with an iron hoof. That was until they arrived.

They all saw two ponies who would dare to try and stand up to Grogar. On the left they recognized the Unicorn Gusty the Great. But on the right, was a Pegasus of sorts. His coat was grey, his eyes were blue, his mane and tail were orange, his hooves were blue whilst the tip of them were black, and his Cutie Mark was something spectacular, which looked like the lightning bolts, whilst wearing a medallion that looked like a lightning bolt made of silver, which they realized that must’ve been Silverbolt.

Within a split second, both Gusty and Silverbolt charged straight towards the monsters. Gusty used her magic to fire at some of the monsters as she jumped from monster to monster, whilst Silverbolt instantly jumped onto one of the clouds and absorbed all of the lightning through it, surprising them as he absorbed so much lightning, his wings and eyes were sparking with lightning. He flew in the air and stomped on the ground so hard, lightning shot all over the place, electrocuting the monsters all around him as they instantly collapsed.

Once the monsters were dealt with, they charged straight towards Grogar, who used both his power and the bewitching bell to strike back, but the two ponies wouldn’t let up. Gusty using every spell she could to counter against Grogar’s power, whilst Silverbolt used his power over the weather to combat against it. Grogar ended up shooting Silverbolt down with his magic, making the Pegasus collapse onto the ground, which shocked Twilight and the others when they saw him shot down. But instead of staying down, he tried to get back up.

Just as Grogar was about to use his bell to destroy Silverbolt, Gusty suddenly charged and took his bell away, leaving the king of monsters nearly powerless. Gusty landed next to Silverbolt to make sure he was okay. Grogar on the other hand, didn’t want to let up, and used his power to try and destroy them, until Silverbolt grabbed the bell and pushed Gusty out of the way, striking at the bell in the process. But instead, the bell ended up transferring most of its power to Silverbolt, taking him by surprise as his hooves shook. He suddenly began to scream as the power began to course through him, and at the same time, created harmonic energies around him, which shocked them again as they recognized at the elements” power.

Gusty and Grogar watched as Silverbolt absorbed the bell’s power, making him scream in pain as he lifted his head whilst his eyes were glowing as bright as the sun. When the glowing faded, he saw how he had suddenly transformed into the first ever male Alicorn, which took Twilight and the others by surprise as she saw how he looked like. Grogar shook his head right and attacked head on. Silverbolt noticed and ended up channeling as much magic as he could whilst raising his head in the air, and with one mighty blow, he blasted all of his magic at Grogar, destroying him in the process, defeating the demonic goat once and for all. Silverbolt landed and panted, with every creature in awe when they saw how powerful he really was.

“Silverbolt was one of the most unique ponies the world had encountered.” said Princess Luna.

“But overtime he realized that because of his form, it came at a price.” said Princess Celestia.

They soon saw Gusty the Great at a very old age, on her deathbed whilst Silverbolt chose to stay by her side in order to comfort her in her final hours, with Starswirl saying “He had ended up becoming immortal and outlived everypony he cared about.”

After Gusty was buried, they saw Silverbolt leaving her grave as he traveled with his belongings, with Celestia saying “From that day on, he chose to wander the world, trying to find ways to help those in need.”

“Oh, how awful.” said Fluttershy, feeling sorry for the legend from long ago.

They saw him traveling, until he met a young colt, with Starswirl saying “That was when I met him.”

They saw how he was busy teaching Starswirl the Bearded many different spells growing up, making the young colt more and more excited, with Twilight saying “Wait…he was your teacher?!!”

“Indeed, he was, he taught me everything he knew.” said Starswirl, he then partially frowned and said “Although for some strange reason I never heard from him again after thirty years, just when I taught Clover before he had to go back home to advise Princess Platinum.”

They saw Clover the Clever, sitting near a frozen lake as it was snowing, worried about the Unicorns” future. Then at the same time, they saw Silverbolt approaching, which surprised them, whilst he was wearing a cloak to conceal himself. He sat next to Clover, without the Unicorn paying attention.

“Something on your mind?” asked Silverbolt.

Clover sighed and said “Plenty I’m afraid. I just do not know what to do.”

“Please,” said Silverbolt as he leaned closer “Tell me what’s on your mind.”

Clover lowered his head and said “Our kingdom’s began to experience harsh weathers that we have never experienced before. And the worst, they blame the other Pony Tribes for their misfortune. They blame the Earth Ponies for keeping all of the food to themselves and the Pegasi for creating the harsh weathers. I tried to reason with Princess Platinum, but she’s just too stubborn to listen to reason. Yes, we may be unicorns but we all have much in common.”

“Oh, what’s that?” asked Silverbolt as he raised an eyebrow, whilst also showing a small smirk.

“That we are all ponies.” said Clover “We love our kingdoms, we have cutie marks, we even have magic in us all, from what my mentor, Starswirl taught me.”. The Unicorn ended up lowering his head and said “But they are right about us Unicorns, were nothing but snobs and too prideful, thinking that were better than anypony else just because we can use magic.”

They were surprised to see how Clover had admitted that Unicorn kind was flawed, with the said Unicorns were surprised that Clover would say something like that.

“Funny actually,” said Silverbolt with a smile “The other ponies are the same.”

“They are?” asked Clover as he partially looked at the stranger.

“Indeed,” said Silverbolt, until he turned to the other direction and said aloud “You can come out now!”

Clover turned around, and to his surprise, he saw an Earth Pony and Pegasus approach, whilst they also had surprised looks on their faces. Twilight and the others were shocked by what they were seeing, for the two ponies approaching were none other than Secretary Smart Cookie and Private Pansy. The two approached and stood near the Unicorn.

“You…felt this way?” asked Secretary Smart Cookie as she was curious.

“Well…yes.” said Clover, still unable to believe he was talking to another pony without being hostile.

“Truth be told the other creatures from different kingdoms have said the same thing.” said Private Pansy “They claim that Pegasi are Overzealous, who like to boast, thinking that we were better because we can control the weather and water to leave others to dry.”

“And they also called us Earth Ponies barbaric, because we’d rather wage war at each other because they didn’t like different things.” said Secretary Smart Cookie “I mean come on, it was Puddinghead’s fault for causing that incident. Was it our fault she was allergic to eggs?”

Clover was surprised by this too. Twilight and the others saw Silverbolt smiling and said “So you lot have in common after all.”

The three looked at him with confusion. They saw Silverbolt removing his hood, which surprised them as Clover said “Oh, you are a Unicorn?”

They then saw him remove his cloak, and to the three of their shock, they saw he had wings too.

“What…how…?” said Smart Cookie, for not only was the strange newcomer a Unicorn, but he was slightly taller than an Earth Pony and has wings of a Pegasus.

“What are you?” asked Private Pansy.

The newcomer introduced himself. “My name, is Silverbolt. I once lived during the time of Gusty the Great because we both were the only ones who saw reason besides the others” closed minded ways.”. Silverbolt looked at Clover with a smirk and said “I too am your mentor’s teacher.”

Clover was greatly shocked “You were my mentor’s teacher?!!” exclaimed the Unicorn.

“Indeed.” said Silverbolt as he turned around and said “Plus I know the true cause of this, both Starswirl and I know who’s causing this. But…he does not know one crucial detail.”

Starswirl was curious about this too, with Clover asking “What detail?”

“Well,” said Silverbolt as he partially looked at them and said “I am the one who caused the violent weather to appear.”

The three ponies were greatly surprised by this, even Twilight and the others when they witnessed this.

“I will not say with what, for Starswirl would know, as do you Clover.” said Silverbolt as he approached them “We both realize that the constant fighting will soon tear everypony apart in this world. If we are to have a bright future, then the ponies of the three tribes must unite.”

“But how?” said Clover “Princess Platinum will not listen, nor will any of the leaders.”

“I have full faith that all of you will.” said Silverbolt “When the time comes that the leaders will leave their homes to find their new home, you three must travel with them. Once you do, you will find a way to not only stop the harsh weather, but to bring peace between the three tribes.”

“Do you think we will succeed?” asked Secretary Smart Cookie.

“I do not think so,” said Silverbolt “I know so.”

“But what will happen once we do?” asked Private Pansy.

“Once you do,” said Silverbolt “Starswirl and other ponies will rally to his side to help protect Equestria. But a thousand years later, there will be six element bearers, each of them will represent what their element represents. All six of them will represent your tribes.”

“Like…who?” asked Clover.

“Oh, two from each of your tribes” said Silverbolt with a smirk, then looked back and said “One who is always honest, one who is the kindest souls, one who loves to laugh, one who is the most generous, one who has unyielding loyalty, and one, who will represent the magic of this world.”

The Mane 6 widened their eyes in shock, as well as their jaws being dropped, for he was talking about them. And just like that, he walked away, leaving them more puzzled, but chose not to question him. Suddenly, a few months later, they saw Clover, Smart Cookie and Pansy with Princess Platinum, Chancellor Puddinghead and Commander Hurricane had come together, as friends. They then helped form Equestria, whilst from afar, Silverbolt smiled as he was wearing his cloak.

“As it should be.” he said, before leaving to help others that would need his help. The ponies who witnessed this were greatly surprised.

Fast forwarding, they saw Silverbolt had encountered the village of the Mighty Helm, and all of them had just started out. He decided to spend some time in the village, and began to teach the strong ponies to be the warriors their village needed to be. But during that time, he saw Rockhoof, back when he was still scrawny. But he could sense something within him, something that would make a great hero. He ended up smirking, thinking about something.

He stood at a different spot whilst using his hooves to scan the area. At the same time, he pulled out a magical artifact and buried it whilst walking away. Fast forwarding, they saw that the volcano had erupted. Then they saw Rockhoof trying to dig a trench. And within a split second, he ended up uncovering something, and within a split second, the magic engulfed him, turning Rockhoof into what he is now, which they, even Rockhoof shockingly realized, that the magic that transformed him, was the exact same magic that he buried there without anyone else noticing him.

Sure enough, they saw how he was fighting alongside Rockhoof against the Demon Hydra. They saw how massive it was, with Rockhoof using his mighty shovel to smack the Hydra’s heads away, whilst Silverbolt flew around, trying to distract it whilst using his magic to summon the most powerful lightning he ever could, which surprised Twilight when he saw just how much power he wielded.

After their battle, Rockhoof and Silverbolt were having a feast with the Mighty Helm, drinking and feasting to their delights, for this was the most fun they had in years. They saw that both Rockhoof and Silverbolt were partially drunk, until Rockhoof looked at him funny.

“Yer the most handsome stallion I’ve ever met.” said past Rockhoof and ended up smacking lips with Silverbolt, taking him by surprise as he kept breaking away but to no avail, which shocked the rest when they saw how drunk he really was. The two ended up falling over and into the river. They climbed out and spat the kiss and water away, looked at one another, then ended up laughing their flanks off, showing their bonds as brothers in arms.

“Ah,” said Rockhoof as he shook his head with a heartwarming smile “Those were some happier times.”

After they were sobered up a bit, they saw that the Mighty Helm were playing some music. They saw Silverbolt walk up to the stage and looked over at the crowd. He cleared his throat and sang for the crowd. He first harmonized in order to set the mood, with the rest of the Mighty Helm joining. Before they knew it, they heard him sing.

(Silverbolt)

Far over, the mountain home

To green landscapes

And trees so high

We must return

At break of dawn

To find our long-forgotten home

The ponies and creatures when they heard him sing and heard the sound of his beautiful voice.

(Silverbolt & Mighty Helm)

The winds were howling, throughout the night

Telling our tales, of lives of old

The sun shine bright

The moon alight

The sky so blue, alight with hope

Far away, the forgotten lands

The blue oceans

And brightened shores

We will set out

At the midday

To find what has, been taken away

The storm is coming, beyond the darkness

The waves are crashing

In the bright day

The sun burns bright

The cooling moons

The heart of home, calls us home

All of them were in awe of his voice, with Rockhoof sighing, wiping his tear away as he said “Ah, good times.”

Fast forwarding once more, they saw past Mistmane, after she had left her village to study at the finest magic school. But during her travels, she encountered Silverbolt, who was studying different flowers and mapping them. She walked over to the Stallion, wondering what he was doing. But just as Silverbolt was to reach for another flower, their hooves accidentally touched, making them looked at one another surprised. They ended up blushing and looked away with smiles. Silverbolt stood up and accompanied her to Magic School, where he was actually the teacher.

He taught them everything magic related, even powerful mystic and medicinal properties of every plant. He saw how well past Mistmane paid attention, which he smiled at the brightest student. Even taking breaks he would come over and help her, making her teacher’s pet. However, there was one scene that made Mistmane blush the hardest after watching the warm baths area. They saw Silverbolt resting as with a blissful smile. He suddenly heard a noise and looked up, and saw past Mistmane, taking off her robe (Much to the blushing faces of the males and the surprised look of the Mares), and accompanied him in the water, where she floated towards him. They soon embraced one another and slowly kissed one another, which turned into a compassionate one as they ended up taking things to the next level.

“Wow,” said Rainbow Dash with a smirk “So you two, huh?”

Mistmane kept her blush and said “Indeed. There was something about him that I just couldn’t keep away.”

However, during their dip in the pool, Silverbolt pulled out what appeared to be a type of lyre and played her a song.

(Silverbolt)

Lay down, your beautiful head

The night is shining bright

You’re journey has just begun

Your dream still shines

From across the distant shores

Why do you weep?

What are these tears upon your face?

Soon you will rise

The beauty of the world will live on

Safe in its embrace, you’re still believing

Then his voice was high as his voice was beautiful again.

(Silverbolt)

What can you see, beyond the ocean

Why do the angels, call?!

Across the skies, they call to you

We are finally, on our way home

All of them couldn’t help but nearly melt from his voice, even Fluttershy and Smolder loved it as they sighed lovingly.

Then they saw how past Mistmane had sacrificed her youth to save her home and her friends and family. Silverbolt stayed by her side, but eventually, the two were sadly forced to part ways, for she couldn’t be with him, no matter how much she wanted, thus were forced to walk their separate ways. He gave her one last kiss before they left. Though they had gone their separate ways, they could see the saddened looks on their faces as they were going to miss one another.

The next was past Flash Magnus, where he and his fellow Legion had trouble fighting the Black Dragon of the Black Dragon Eye Empire. And that Silverbolt fought that Dragon head on. He didn’t care how dangerous it was, he was going to give it his all to fight it. They saw him crashed onto the ground. As he struggled to get up, past Flash Magnus saved him. The two of them looked at one another, nodded their heads and charged together to put an end to the threat.

They soon celebrated with the legion, then they saw that past Flash Magnus and Silverbolt were having a drinking contest. They saw that they were down to fifty glasses, and the two looked like they were going to puke. Then their faces turned green and they ended up running towards the edge and threw up. They groaned and landed on their rumps, but they soon recovered and laughed.

Flash sighed as he said “He truly was somepony I could call brother.”, making him smile as he missed him.

Silverbolt signaled the musicians to play some music, something that would get their attention. Sure enough, they began to play, gaining the attention of the entire legion. Silverbolt walked among them, smiling as he walked towards the musicians. As he stood near enough, the musicians were playing their song. And within an instant, he turned around and sang to them, with them joining in our of instinct.

(Silverbolt)

Legion Pegasi rejoice

(Legion)

Sing, sing, and rejoice

(Silverbolt)

Take your shield and raise them high

(Legion)

Raise, raise, raise them high

(Silverbolt)

Up or down the battle great

Overcoming dangerous foes

Protecting Equestria, till the end of time

They were surprised to see how well he raised their moral. He grabbed the nearest shield and took Magnus with him, causing them to march together and sing their song together.

(Silverbolt & Magnus)

March as one

As we face the dangers

Raise your heads high

Show them that you’re not afraid

Through howling winds, and thunderous rains

We march together as one

Come on legionaries

Soon the entire legion began to sing together as they stood up from their tables and raised their shields and their mugs.

(Silverbolt, Magnus & Legion)

We are the legion, and were marching as one

Marching as one, marching as one

We are the legion ad were marching as one

Marching as one, marching as one

All of them were surprised by this.

“Wow,” said Ocellus “He sure knows how to keep their spirits up.”

“He always sings us songs that would help raise our spirits before a mission.” said Flash Magnus “He was amazing, even my Commander wanted him to sing after a mission to keep raising our spirits.”

Next up was him going to the desert, where Somnambula’s home was located. He trudged through the great desert, wearing his desert robe in order to protect him from the sun. He soon saw a town up ahead, but to his shock, he saw a giant sphinx attacking the town. Acting quickly, he chugged down some water from his water can, tossed it and his robe aside, used his magic to charge himself up and ended up charging straight towards the sphinx.

“Wow,” said Spike “He sure is eager to help them.”

Silverbolt continued to fly towards the sphinx, but at the same time, he saw another Pegasus trying to stop it, and it was none other than past Somnambula, trying to save the village. Wasting no time, Silverbolt used his magic to blast the sphinx away, but only managed to stun it. Past Somnambula was greatly surprised by this when she saw Silverbolt coming in and helping her.

Seeing that now was a good time to help, she flew up and defeated the Sphinx, only to realize too late that the sphinx had kidnapped the prince of the land. Past Somnambula was mad, until Silverbolt stopped her, making her look at him.

“Don’t,” said Silverbolt “Those things are very dangerous. Sphinxes are extremely powerful and they can overpower you in a heartbeat without any hesitation.”

She looked down, as if she was about to give up, but the look on her face was determined to not give up.

“But I do have a way you can beat it at its own game.” said Silverbolt with a smirk.

He whispered to past Somnambula, causing her eyes to go wide and smile. She looked at him and nodded yes, for she was willing to try anything to stop it.

Soon afterwards, they saw past Somnambula confronting the Sphinx whilst Silverbolt quietly snuck towards where the prince was being held. They saw how she easily answered the Sphinx’s riddles thanks to Silverbolt. Soon enough, he snuck out with the prince, with him signaling that it was completed. They soon escaped, with the Sphinx angry, for not only losing, but losing the prince too.

Later at the town, they celebrated the prince’s return, whilst past Somnambula thanked him for his help, with him nodding with a smile. Nighttime had arrived and the entire town partied, with the ponies dancing all around. Silverbolt couldn’t help but smile at the sight, seeing every creature happy. But then he looked to his right and to his surprise, he saw past Somnambula dancing, waving her hips around and was as nimble as water. They were surprised to see Somnambula dance like that.

“I didn’t know you danced like that.” said Stygian as he looked at Somnambula.

Somnambula blushed and said “There are many things you do not know about me.”

They then saw Silverbolt moved towards past Somnambula and danced with her, moving like water and was also nimble.

(For those who have a good imagination, I don’t exactly know how to adapt the song Mondo Bongo, so use your imagination that they’re dancing under that music like they did on Mr. and Mrs. Smith)

Both of them were hypnotized by each other’s dancing, and soon enough, they held one another close, embracing one another and ended up kissing each other on the lips. However, an hour later, they were suddenly in another room and they compassionately make out, which took them all by surprise. Mistmane on the other hand looked at her with a flexed eyebrow, which Somnambula couldn’t help but blush and smile sheepishly at the same time. However, a month later, past Somnambula and Silverbolt had to part ways because they each had their own journeys to fulfill.

She kissed him on the lips and said “We will always have that special night.”

She walked past him, until her wing gave his flank a slap, making him yelp and looked at her, causing Somnambula to wave her flank a bit with a smirk and winked at him before moving on, which made him flustered and walk away, which the other mares couldn’t help but giggle and watch his predicament.

They fast forwarded and saw past Mage Meadowbrook working hard trying to find certain herbs and plants to make her medicine. She suddenly heard a loud noise and saw Silverbolt crash near her. He looked really dizzy as if he had just been through a wringer. He stood up and shook his head. He looked up and saw past Mage Meadowbrook look at him in concern whilst helping him up. But she gasped when she saw he had a piece of Poison Joke on his flank without him realizing.

He hiccupped bubbles out, which he said that it wasn’t that bad, until his stomach growled loudly and he clutched on it. Before he knew it, he farted fire. He mumbled and sat down in pain, which took everypony else by surprise, which Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Spike, Smolder, Gallus, Sandbar and Pinkie Pie laugh really loudly as they fell over, even Luna couldn’t help herself when she laughed and fell over.

Though failing to hide her laughter, past Mage Meadowbrook offered to take him back to her place, which he agreed and winced in pain whilst he was walking and limping at the same time. Soon enough, he was at her place and was sighing in relief when he was bathing in the cure.

“Thanks again for the help.” said Silverbolt.

“No problem.” said past Somnambula with a smile whilst she walked over to one of her shelves “I’m really thankful that I was able to find a cure for it, otherwise it would’ve been trouble that they had to live with it forever.”

“The pot’s a nice touch,” said Silverbolt, until he smirked and said “But are you planning on cooking me and serve me in a hot bowl of soup.”

She instantly blinked at and looked at him, whilst he playfully chopped some carrots in, which she couldn’t help but laugh at that. During his stay, he helped her out finding different sort of plants all over the place, experimenting with any kind of plant that can help with their tasks. When she came to her hut, she was surprised to see the kind of vials he had, studying the plants, even using a microscope…

“Is that…a microscope?!!” said Twilight “How?! They didn’t exist until sixty years ago!!”

“He’s a stallion filled with mystery, that’s for sure.” said Mage Meadowbrook as her past self-watched through them and were surprised to see the results, they yielded with Silverbolt writing down notes for her “He had many things I never knew he had, it helped me a lot when I went around helping other ponies along the way.”

They saw that he was playing a guitar as she entertained her during their breaks, which Applejack was surprised as he suddenly knew about country music.

(Silverbolt)

Headed down south, to the land of the free

And walking my way, to the southern countryside

Walking next to the road

And pray that I make it to the other side

They couldn’t help but get in the groove of the song when they heard him sing.

I made it from the north, in just a short time

Picking me some flowers for my very special lady

And I’m praying to the heavens

That I can see my baby tonight

Even past Mage Meadowbrook loved the song as she thought it was very entertaining.

(Silverbolt)

So, love me pretty lady, like the midday sun

Love me pretty lady, like a ray of sunshine

Hey, love me pretty lady

Love me pretty lady like the country and the farmlands

Love me pretty lady, like a south bound bus

Hey, love me pretty lady

That was, with their resent potion testing, they ended up accidentally spilling juice on them. Mage couldn’t help but blush and licked the juice off of his nose. Which he couldn’t help but smirk, placed juice on both of their lips, which Mage couldn’t help but leap in and lock lips with him, causing them to fall over, which the Mane 6 were surprised by this.

“Uh, it is just me,” said Applejack “Or is that stallion making love with every mare he meets?”

“More like the other way round.” said Mistmane, Somnambula and Mage Meadowbrook, all three of them blushing at this.

Mage decided to travel the world, wanting to help others along the way. She and Silverbolt had to part ways, but they promised to stay in touch soon.

Fast forwarding, they saw he had reached the spot that he was traveling to, which was none other than Canterlot whilst it was still being constructed, which surprised the ponies. Whilst he was walking, a young pony accidentally bumped into him. When he looked down, he saw it was past Princess Luna, who looked a few years younger than Silverbolt. When the princess of the night looked up, her eyes widened and blushed. He gently offered a hoof to help her, which she shyly accepted. He escorted her back to the castle grounds. When they got there, they saw past Princess Celestia, who was looking for her sister.

But when past Celestia saw Silverbolt, her eyes widened and were surprised to see him, making her blush when she couldn’t help but smile and liked the stallion. But at the same time, past Starswirl came along and wondered why they weren’t studying. And to his shock, he saw it was his mentor. past Starswirl couldn’t help but hug his mentor, happy to see him. Starswirl asked Silverbolt to stay with him, to not only help oversee Canterlot’s construction, but also to help with the new Princesses” studies. Silverbolt accepted, and also offered to teach him more spells that he learned along the way.

At that time, on the weekends when past Celestia and past Luna were on break, Silverbolt and past Starswirl would spend all of their time learning new spells and rune magic. And everything they learned; they wrote it on a journal. Well, Silverbolt wrote it for the both of them because he commented on how a chicken could write better than he did, which made past Starswirl grumble, whilst the others laughed, for it was true, his horn writing was horrible.

And during the week, as Starswirl decided to help study more of the spells his mentor made, Silverbolt taught both the princesses. But instead of boring them, he used a method that both of them understood. And during that time as they were done studying, they used the spells they learned, which they passed with flying colors. Both sisters were very grateful and hugged him, which he appreciated. A good few years had passed and both princesses had grown, and as they had just begun their rule of the kingdom, they offered Silverbolt to stay at their castle near the Everfree forest, which he agreed. But one day, Silverbolt made a piano, which shocked everyone yet again. He had it placed in the middle of the room, wanting to surprise the sisters.

When they walked in, they were surprised by the strange instrument that was in the room. He offered to show them. They sat near him and wondered what he had in mind. At the same time, past Starswirl watched from afar, wondering what he was doing. Silverbolt took a few breathers and before they knew it, he played the piano. The melody fitted perfectly, the notes were well harmonized and finally, what they didn’t expect, he began to sing.

(Silverbolt)

Am I blue

Am I blue

And these tears in these eyes, telling you

Am I blue?

You’d be too.

If each plan, that you had, done fell through

Both past Celestia and Luna sighed as they were in love with his songs. Past Celestia resting on the piano, with past Luna sitting next to him, watching him play. The others who watched couldn’t help but watch as he played so beautifully, even a few mares began to shed tears, and surprisingly Rainbow Dash, for she couldn’t get enough of his songs.

(Silverbolt)

There was a time

I was your only one

But now I am the sad and lonely one

Yes, I am

Was I gay, till today?

Now she’s gone and were through

Am I blue

The mares sighed at this, even Celestia and Luna dreamingly sighed as they watched him play, but instead of fast forwarding, they let him play.

(Silverbolt)

Was a time

I was her only one

But now I am the sad and lonely one

I’m such a lonely one

Was I gay, till today?

Now she’s gone and were through

Am I blue?

Past Celestia and Past Luna walked up to him and both whispered something to him in his ear, with him nodding yes as they left. Past Starswirl on the other hand couldn’t help but smile, for after all these years, his mentor hadn’t changed a bit. When all of a sudden, the part of the memory made both Celestia and Luna blushed at their hardest. Their eyes widened when they saw that Silverbolt had been tied up in bed, whilst both Past Celestia and Past Luna crawled onto bed with him, and ended up kissing his chest, then towards his neck, then to both the sides of his cheeks. The princess quickly fast forwards it. The ponies slowly looked at Celestia and Luna, whilst they looked away and blushed at their hardest.

“So that’s what you two did that night.” said Starswirl as he muttered to himself with a flexed eyebrow.

Fast forwarding. They saw something the Pillars recognized; the defeat of the Sirens after they were banished to another dimension, however, Twilight and Spike instantly recognized them as the Dazzlings. After they were taken by the villagers to celebrate, they saw Stygian being sad. He walked away and sat down in a log far from town thinking.

“Something wrong?” asked a voice.

Stygian looked behind and saw Silverbolt walked over to him and sat next to him.

“Nothing.” said Stygian.

“Don’t lie to me.” said Silverbolt “I can tell the difference between someone lying and telling the truth. I can tell something’s off.”

Stygian merely sighed and said “My village was in danger by the beasts.”

However, they noticed that Silverbolt had a saddened face, as if he knew something but didn’t say anything. They wondered what he was thinking, but they ignored it when he continued to listen to the young pony.

“They threatened my village with their power,” said Stygian “So I was forced to leave and look for help. As I gathered Starswirl and the others, I did research on the beasts we were facing. But by the time we got there, sure the day was saved, but they ignored me. I was the one who went for help, I was the one who helped them…”

“And you wanted their respect and you wanted to be part of their group, correct?” said Silverbolt.

“Yes.” said Stygian in a saddened tone “I wanted to be like them too and stand by them in battle. But I didn’t have powerful magic or great strength.”

“Stygian,” said Silverbolt, surprising the pony when the Alicorn knew him “I know you’re heart’s in the right place, but you don’t need some power telling you what you were meant to be. What matters is not outside, but from within. It was because of your guidance that helped unite them.”

“But I wish to do more.” said Stygian “I just don’t know where to start.”

Silverbolt then thought about it, and had an idea whilst he said “I have an idea. Come with me.”

And within an instant, Silverbolt teleported himself and Stygian to the one place they all recognized; Ponehenge.

“What is this place?” asked Stygian.

“This place is called Ponehenge.” said Silverbolt “I created this place a long time ago to help create certain artifacts from the originals in case something was to happen with the old artifacts. In fact, I wanted to try and test it out to see if I can work on Starswirl and the others” artifacts. As a way of making a momentum from our adventures, or one day put it in a museum, where future generations could learn a thing or two.”

“Could this help me become a Pillar?” asked Stygian.

“This place can help you archive yes,” said Silverbolt “but becoming a Pillar has to be on your own. But from what I have seen, you already do. You are the Pillar, of Guidance.”

Stygian was surprised by this, with Silverbolt saying “You helped guided them together and in turn, you helped guide them here and guided them into working together. The way I see it, you already are a pillar.”

Stygian couldn’t help but smile as he looked up to his friend. Then he asked “Could I still create copies of them?”

“For the momentum?”

“Yes. I think future generations learning about them is a fantastic idea.” said Stygian “But I am not sure Starswirl would agree. He would think I have betrayed them.”

“Tell them I asked you to do it. He’ll understand.” said Silverbolt.

“I sure hope so.” said Stygian “I do not wish to lose my friends if they accused me of something.”

The Pillars felt guilty over it, especially Starswirl. That was, until they fast forwarded to the part where Past Starswirl kicked Past Stygian out without giving him a chance to explain. Then fast forwarded to the Castle of the Two Sisters, until they saw Silverbolt blasting Past Starswirl against the wall with great force, shocking everyone. They saw Silverbolt, and boy was he enraged.

“How could you cast Stygian aside?!” shouted Silverbolt.

“He was trying to take our power for…” said Past Flash, until Silverbolt blasted a ray in front of the rest of the pillars. They could see he was angry and disappointed at them. He thought they were his friend, and instead they betrayed everything he ever taught them.

“I had no choice!!” said Past Starswirl “I only did what was best for Equestria!!”

“You don’t give a damn about Equestria!!” said Silverbolt “Whilst you sat on your fat ass doing nothing, I was the one who convinced Clover, Smart Cookie and Pansy to unite the pony tribes yet after all these years, ponykind still has the gall to judge others because of a misunderstanding!!”

He thrashed Past Starswirl hard onto the ground, making the old wizard groan in pain. The rest of the Pillars wanted to do something, but they were too scared.

“I was a fool to think all of you would be worthy of protecting Equestria.” said Silverbolt to the Pillars “All of you were supposed to fight for a united ponykind and not jump to conclusions. But clearly, you were all unworthy from the start.”

“But the power of Harmony had chosen us all.” said Past Starswirl as he stood up.

“Then consider your connection to harmony itself…” said Silverbolt as he charged up his horn, along with his entire body.

Then he blasted all six of them, causing them to scream in pain whilst draining parts of the power of Harmony out of their system, which shocked the witnesses. Once Silverbolt was done, the Pillars collapsed onto the ground. They eventually looked up as Silverbolt stood face to face with Past Starswirl.

“Permanently disconnected.” said Silverbolt.

He then turned around and was about to walk away. That was, until he said “You have failed and disappointed me Starswirl. Just remember, the next time we meet, I will not be so merciful. But more importantly…the next time we meet, I’ll kill you.”

Silverbolt then walked away and through the entrance of the Castle of the Two Sisters whilst the Pillars watched as he slammed the doors behind them. Even Twilight and the others were shocked by the discovery.

“So…” said Stygian “He was the only one who believed in me.”

Then fast forwarding, but this time, past moments after Celestia had banished Nightmare Moon. Celestia was heartbroken that she had lost her sister to the darkness, but Silverbolt was there to comfort her for a while. But a week later, Silverbolt was about to leave, which surprised the others.

“Are you sure you cannot stay?” said Past Celestia “Equestria could use a pony like you.”

“I’m sure.” said Silverbolt “I can’t stay here anymore. The world is safe for the time being, but in time, there will be new protectors of this world. It’s best that they don’t know about me. I’ve already caused too much trouble.”

“But you helped save everypony, including me.” said Past Celestia.

“Not all of them.” said Silverbolt as he remembered that he couldn’t save Stygian and Princess Luna from Starswirl and Celestia’s own arrogance. “Besides, the creatures and artifacts that Starswirl and the others banished and placed. I need to find them and sure that they don’t fall into the wrong hooves. That’ll be my mission.”

“I understand.” said Past Celestia with a saddened sigh. She looked at him with tears in her eyes and said “I’ll miss you.”

“I know.” said Silverbolt as he two of them hugged “But we both know that we weren’t meant to be, as I learned the hard way with the others.”

They broke the hug as he said “I’ll find a way to remove my Immortality one day, but not just yet. I need to make sure that there are those who won’t be in danger and will be safe. But know that I’ll never forget you and the others in this world. You can count on it.”

He turned around and walked away, but then stopped whilst pointing at a cart filled with his journals “Make sure that you give that one to a pony who is worthy. Somepony who can make good use of it and learned the lessons I have learned.”

“I will.” said Past Celestia “I promise.”

Silverbolt then held onto what appeared to be the Arcane Stone. It glowed whilst he held it near him, causing the entire area to be bright, until finally, every creature discovered that all of them were back in the Throne room. All of them were still surprised by what Silverbolt did during his time.

“So that’s what happened to him.” said Rockhoof.

“It was a shame he could not be around.” said Somnambula “He truly was a wonderful pony.”

“As a friend, or on the bedside?” teased Gallus.

Immediately, as Celestia, Luna, Mistmane, Somnambula and Mage Meadowbrook blushed bright red, Twilight slapped over Gallus” uncouth question as she said “Gallus!!”

“Whoops,” said Gallus as he chuckled sheepishly “Sorry.”

“But still.” said Applejack “Ah wonder why he didn’t stick around after that.”

“Wherever he is,” said Celestia “I’m sure it must be somewhere truly important. He was serious about where he needed to go in order to help others out there somewhere.”

“I wish I could learn more about him.” said Twilight “The amount of time he lived. Think of the valuable information he wields.”

“I think I can help with that, Twilight.” said Princess Celestia, gaining Twilight’s attention as her ears perked up.

“Really?!!” said Twilight, trying to contain her excitement.

Celestia used her magic to teleport a large chest in the middle of the room. She concentrated with her magic, allowing her to unlock and open the chest. She used her magic to pull out seven large journals, which Twilight widened her eyes in surprise and glee.

“These journals were what he had written.” said Celestia “If you wish to learn more, you can get started if you want.”

“Boy, do I!!” shouted Twilight as she used her magic to bring them to her and laughed excitedly.

“Oh boy,” said Rainbow with crossed hooves and rolled her eyes “Here she goes again.”

“Thank you so much Princess Celestia.” said Twilight.

Celestia giggled and said “Not a problem Twilight. I know you will learn much from him during his travels.”

Soon enough, Twilight and the others left after their visit with Princess Celestia had been over. Later that night, she went back to her room in the Castle of Friendship. She sat near her desk and began to read through the journal. She was so surprised to see how well it was written, every detail she read. She was surprised that Silverbolt was this thorough, which made her eager to learn more.

“I wish he was here.” said Twilight “Think of everything we could learn together.”

Meanwhile, in a world far away

From within the diner of a suburban town on a rainy night, which happens to be open twenty four hours, a young man was sitting on his seat near the window, looking through something in some kind of book whilst he had just finished eaten dinner and drinking his coffee whilst going through them. The one in particular had orange hair and grey skin with blue eyes. But he was also wearing black boots for jogging and fighting, blue jeans, black jacket and a yellow shirt with a blue eagle on top. But on top of his shirt appeared to be none other than a medallion that looked like a lightning bolt made of silver.

He was about to open the book until a waitress came over.

“Excuse me?” asked the Waitress, gaining the boy’s attention “Would you like some more coffee Mr.…?”

“Bolt. And yes please.” said the boy, allowing the Waitress to pour him some coffee.

“Reading a bit, are we?” she asked.

“Eh, a little light reading.” said Silverbolt “I like to do some thinking whilst I drink coffee. It helps from time to time.”

“So, I see.” said the waitress as she noticed how relaxed he is.

“Could you please tell me how far Canterlot City is?” asked Silverbolt.

“Just for another sixty miles from here.” said the Waitress “Why, are you traveling?”

“Sure am.” said Silverbolt.

“I have a brother who lives there.” said the Waitress with a smile “His name is Joe, and he happens to own a doughnut shop in the city. The best in town.”

“Really?” said Silverbolt “I should give it a try when I get by.”

The waitress saw him yawning, which indicated that he was tired. She then said “If you wish to have a place to sleep for the night, there happens to be a motel about a mile away.”

“Oh, no need for that thanks.” said Silverbolt “I happen to have an RV outside.”

She saw the RV and was surprised to see how big it was.

“Whoa, is that the Commander?” said the Waitress “That’s one of the largest RV” s in the world. Only six of them were ever made.”

“Seven actually.” said Silverbolt “My father won it in a contest and he gave it to me for my birthday last year.”

“Incredible.” said the Waitress “You are so lucky.”

“Eh, to quote a guy from a movie, there’s no such thing as luck.” said Silverbolt, causing the two of them to laugh. “But whilst I’m on that topic, you happen to know where there is a place that can allow RV parking.”

“Oh, it just so happens that the same Motel offers a place where you can park your RV.”

“Oh, wow, I didn’t know that, but thanks.” said Silverbolt.

“You’re welcome.” said the Waitress. As Silverbolt stood up and paid for the bill whilst taking his book with him, she asked “So what’s in Canterlot City?”

Silverbolt simply looked at her with a smile and said “Home.”

“Really, what brings you back there?” asked the Waitress.

“Just feeling a bit homesick.” said Silverbolt “I traveled on the road for so long, it’s been a while since I ever went back home.”

“You travel?” she asked.

“Yeah, been on the road a long time.” said Silverbolt.

“Really?” said the Waitress “You don’t look so old.”

“Oh, that’s because I’ve been traveling for two years.” said Silverbolt “But it might have well been twenty for me.”

She laughed at that and said “Well, I hope you have a safe trip back home, and thank you so much for stopping by.”

“Sure, anytime.” said Silverbolt “Hope to come back here soon.”

Silverbolt soon left and headed straight for his Commander. He climbed inside and locked the RV” s door whilst he took off his raincoat hung it up to dry inside the RV” s bathroom.

His RV on the inside looked like a fancy suite, one that anyone could dream of having. And there he has a shelf that stores his photo album, books, movies, video games, a laptop, a flat screen TV and 2 different guitars. One was a Gibson acoustic and another an orange Les Paul. But on the table of the RV was a journal of his. He picked it up, leaned against the table and looked through it with a serious expression. Inside the journals were newspaper clippings that he placed together with pictures. Many would think it would be written from a madman, but the way these people are, they believe anything that’s written on a newspaper. Each clipping had a different title.

“STRANGE ACTIVITY AT CANTERLOT HIGH. STRANGE DEMON BEING INVOVLED DISSAPEARED”

“SCHOOL MUSIC CONTEST TURNS INTO BATTLE WITH STRANGE SEA DRAGONS”

“CANTERLOT HIGH COMPETITION GAMES TURNS INTO NIGHTMARE”

“CAMP EVERFREE DISASTER NEARLY DOOMED STUDENT BODY, BUT CAMP ITSELF SAVED FROM A FINANCIAL CRISIS”

“LARGE WOMAN ATTACKS CANTERLOT MALL.”

“EQUESTRIA LAND OWNER CLEARED OF SUSPECTED SABOTAGE OF DESIGNER AND BAND” S PERFORMANCE”

“YACHT LOST AT SEA DURING DANGEROUS STORM, PASSENGERS AND ANIMALS SAVED FROM DISASTER”

He also had some side clippings that he got from the MyStable website. One that involved people forgetting a person, thinking that one of their friends were still a bully. Then another where the same large woman that attacked was the same girl who nearly sabotaged her own family member’s studio to film a movie. Then there was a clipping where a band was performing a groundhog day scenario with one of the girl’s trapped inside of it.

He looked at them over and over again. He suspected something was going on in Canterlot City. And that it involved magic. Not just any magic…Equestrian Magic.

“Something’s going on over there, I know it.” said Silverbolt as he instantly closed the book. “If the statue containing the portal is somehow damaged…then that’s bad news. Not just for the people and the city but the entire world if they’re not careful.”

He placed the journal back onto the table and walked over to the steering wheel. He sat down and started it up. Once the engine was up and running, he pulled out a memory stick and placed it in its USB port. He looked through the playlist and played a song by Thin Lizzy called “The boys are back in town”.

As soon as the song played, he drove off to the motel in order to park for the night before heading straight for Canterlot City. Whatever was going on over there, he had been away for far too long, and he needed to fix it, no matter what.
