Nightblaze the pegesus of shadowes.

One night he decided to go for a walk…well.. a trot threw the ever free forest his friends talked about before. On his trot he came across a lone bat on the ground, the poor thing looked hurt and exhausted, a wolf slowly walked into the area and glared at the bat licking its lips but Night couldn’t let a helpless bat become a snack for this wolf and lunged in between the two glaring at the wolf and snorted in slight irritation and anger and yelled “NO! you can find food somewhere else! This little one is not your prey!”

The wolf was thrown off by this surprising action and growled indicating he didn’t want some pony getting in his way though night wasn’t giving up on the critter either and pulled out his blood-sapphire, it glowed a magical dark red aura that seemed to creep out the wolf. Just enough to make him back away. A small bolt of red lightning struck the tree right to the left of the wolf. Now the wolf was scared and ran off yipping in fear for his life, Night put the gem away and turned back to the bat and smiled. Are you okay little guy?..im sorry you had to see that.”

The bat got to his feet and blinked trying to take in what he witnessed as reality and smiled a few tears in his eyes and hugged Night’s hoof tightly. Night didn’t mind and smiled back starting to trot back out of the forest. After a wile he notices the bat following him and flies up into a tree and lands on a branch, the bat lands on the branch across from him.

“oh.. hello again..are you lost?..” the bat shook its head. Do you have a family to go to?” again the bat shook its head looking down with a sad face this time. “oh…I see.. I understand… I’ve been there before..would you like to be my pet and come home with me than?” night asked with a slight smile offering the bat a hoof to fly to witch happened in less than an instant realizing just how fast a happy and overjoyed bat can fly. The bat was obviously saying yes smiling brighter than Pinkie Pie and hugging the stallion yet again.

The two creatures trotted out of the dark forest and night tossed the bat up and smiled to him before spreading his wings, the bat started flapping away to keep from falling to the ground and smiled back not sure if Night was joking or if he was getting ready to fly to his home.

“Ready to fly little guy?” night asked flying up above the bat and the bat smiled knowing he was welcome to follow him after all and the duo flew off to Nights cloud home in the sky.

Once at the cloud home night looked around threw his things that he has purchased or found over the weeks and thought for a moment before flying down to the ground again with the bat exploring the home confused and amazed. The grey colt landed in front of Fluttershy’s hut and knocked on the door. The other Pegasus answered and looked at him shyly or as timid as usual.

“he..hello Night.. can I help you?” she asked smiling slightly.

“umm.. Yes.. is there anything you can offer me that a bat might like?..” night asked and turned to see Fluttershy smiling noticing that he must have either rescued an animal or found a pet much less both.

“Sure I do Night. I found a nice severed tree branch that should be able to stick in a cloud wall and hold a full grown bat (the branch might not be a normal one to stay in a cloud or something but meh. Physics. Pinkie destroyed that line long ago)

“that would be great.. any thing else like food I should know about or anything?”

“well.. they sometimes eat insects or berries. Im sure he can handle himself.” The mare said giving a smiled offering the branch.

Night took the branch in his mouth and noded “thanks fluttershy. Talk to you later.” He than spread his wings and flew off to his home to fix up a little area for his new pet. Not relizing that he would have a mess to clean up after words. This new friend might be a hoof full.
