"I only knew them for a few days. Before that I never had anyone on my side... well, maybe a breath moment until they... in the temple...

This place you are trying to find, I found it when I was just a kid, I found the way in but never found the way out... for years I have been roaming around there, looking for power so no one was able to hurt me but I ended up like this. I only was able to get back recently."

I wanted to seek help so after I heard that the ruler of the land was one of the nicest persons on the world I tried to seek help at their place but once I approached, the gaurds thought that I meant harm so they locked me away in a prison.

I had been stuck there for a long time until I managed to escape. After that was when I started to learn these powers.

I made a house in the mountains where I live at the moment, far away from everyone else... but all this time, all I wanted... was someone who understands me... just a friend..."

"Um, okay I won't," replied Spellbind when Pinkie seemed to be defensive of Storm and wanting him for herself.

 

She then listened to Storm talk about some other ponies.

 

When Lightning Crasher talked about the niceness of the sky, Spellbind replied, "Hm, yeah."

"If you ever could pick one place to stay, the sky would be the nicest place i could think of, the cool air, the peacefulness, everything is calm up there, I don't see how anybody who could live in the sky wouldn't." Lightning got lost in thought about losing the ability to be in the sky, and he started to show a little bit of a sadness, just enough for someone to notice, but didn't realize it till it was to late. Lightning walked beside Storm and Spellbind slightly behind them so that they wouldn't notice his sadness.

Storm sighed and put a hoof on Lightning's shoulder, "It's not always a choice they have though." He informed the other stallion. "For example: Derpy can't live in the sky, because her daughter Dinky is a unicorn and she herself is a bit... accident prone and clumsy. It's safer for them both to live on the ground. Somepony like Bulk Biceps can't live in the sky, because it's extremely hard for them to get around due to a wing condition. Fluttershy can't live in the sky because a large majority of her animal friends live on the ground. As much as we love the sky, some pegasi can't always have it all the time. It's a necessary sacrifice for them."

"Yeah, i guess your right, hopefully I'm never forced to stay on the ground, I love the sky to much since I found out I can live up there, but I guess if things are meant to be, there meant to be." Lightning looked at the other two ponies and gathered his composer, "You know what, lets just get to Twilight's, I don't want to be a worrying pony, Lets just get on about the day."

Spellbind sighed. "Sad for them. Imagine being different and wondering what it's like to be normal," she said. "Like why the heck did fate decide to have it that part of my horn was missing?" she went on.

Soprano walked up to Eps, now standing right by him. "... Hey, hey... You're my friend. A very strange one, but still my friend." Soprano said, trying to comfort him. "Look... Why don't we get out of here... Calm down a bit over a coffee or something..." He said, in a friendly tone.

Skyla felt the weird headache again, the same headache that happened when her necklace got stolen. She shut her eyes and opened them a minute later to see a figure standing before her.

 

She read the words in front of her eyes. "Choose me as what? And who are you talking about?" she asked him.

Eps looked at Soprano and his sad face turned into something that looked a little like a smile.

"Yeah, you are right. Come on lets get out  of here, this place is so dusty that water is filling my eyes."

Said Eps while he knows that it wasn't there dusty at all.

"Demons never cry."

Eps opened the door that leads back to the reality.

 

@@Midnight Starfall, 

 

The pony began to see how confused Skyla as and decided to explain a little.

"This person wants to rid this world of evil..." "One of the things he will need to do to complete this task..."

"Is erasing all evil spirits from this world..." "The demon king always sends his evil subjects to this world..." "To steal the light..."

"So the demon king must be slain..."

"...But hell will always need a ruler..."

"Once a king is slain, another must take its place and so must a queen take the place of another queen..."

"... and you problably know what you are before you become a queen."

 

The hooded figure expects Skyla to already understand what is going on.

"I am his other half."

"Help me regain the other half of my heart..."

"Than I shall take over the body..."

"Afterwards I shall take the throne on my own while you can keep your normal life..."

"... with one difference."

"I shall give you so many treasures that no matter how much you spend..."

"... You always will be able to swim in gold."

"May I ask...?" "Did he ever ask you or you wanted this role...?"

Skyla was still confused even after his explanation. In fact, his explanation was more confusing than what he began with.
