In Everfree forest, there was a little house, partly build inside a huge tree. Close to that house, in the forest was blue unicorn wearing hooded cape, collecting different plants into saddlebags he was carrying. He was focused to his doings, and seemed to know perfectly what he was doing.

Unicorn stopped his doings when he heard the sound coming from nearby. His horn lit and from one of his saddlebags floated a glass bottle that had some kind of liquid inside. He floated the bottle over his head as he turned towards a snap that was heard soon after. His eyes weren't visible under the hood, but it was clear that he was staring right at the nightmarish eyes looking at him. "Let's keep this simple, are you friendly, or do you want to kill me?" He asked calmly, still staring at the unidentified eyes.

Potion put the bottle back in the his saddlebag. "You can never be too careful." He pulled his hood down, revealing his face. "Haven't seen you before, are you some kind of royalty?" "New prince or something? Sorry, but I don't really follow what is happening outside this forest." He was still keeping his guard a little, he didn't want to get surprised.

"Free huh?" Potion commented "So you were banished or something?" "No wonder you are forgotten, banished ponies usually are tried to be forgotten." He then scanned the alicorn with his eyes. "Are you possibly relatives with the princess sisters?" "And should I be bowing or something?" He didn't really like this strange alicorn standing so close to him, but he didn't back up because he didn't want any unnecessary conflict with this obviously stronger pony.

@Moon Dancer.

Potion choose not to bow "Nox and Solaris?" "Never heard those names." Potion said after a little thinking. "The rulers are Princess Celestia and Luna and they have been for over 1000 years" "If I remember right, they took the rule from Discord." "Latter princess was trapped in the moon for 1000 years in one point." He started collecting plants again as he talked. "I know someone....or something, that could have some kind of memory about them, but I don't know where they are at the moment."

"That's long time to be banished." Potion pointed out. "And Luna, well, I keep it short." "She is princess of night." "Once upon a time, she felt that she was left into shadow of her sister, Princess of the sun. She was filled with rage, became Nightmare Moon who was to bring a never-ending night." "And Celestia simply banished her into moon." "Current wielders of elements of harmony then removed the nightmare from Luna after she came back." He explained "Or, at least that's what I have been told."

@Moon Dancer.

"Perhaps, perhaps not" "I probably wouldn't notice the difference if it was always night, It's always dark here anyway." Potion commented calmly, he stopped his collecting for a second and muttered, "Jealousy, there is something I have never understood." He then cleared his throat. "Anyway, the Elements?" "They are some kind of magical elements that when combined are weapon strong enough to defeat any evil." "I don't know a lot about that type of things." 

"What was this..pony kind that is no more?"

"Me never being spoken or thought about would be fine with me." "But I have to admit, if someone was to do something to my research, I would probably fight them to death." Potion stated. "And evil..well, I can't really explain it, but for example someone who tried to destroy the world, would be evil in eyes of the world." "But you are right, whom view is the correct one? Who decides it."

"hmm... so shadow like ponies." "I can't say that I know about them, but it could be possible that some of them still might roam here, in this forest." "After all, there is lot of things here."

[Catpone Cerberus 23,601]

@Trixie .

"Yes, I live and work there" Potion said as he finished with the plants and closed his saddlebags. "Come in if you want." He walked towards the building and stopped at its door. "Oh, almost forgot. What should I call you?"

[Catpone Cerberus 23,601]

@Trixie .

"Exactly that, I have studied potion magic my whole life, like has my father, his father and so on" potion explained as they entered.

The house was medium size, in middle there was table full of what seemed like potion making equipment, next to the walls there was several shelves with everything from empty glass bottles to ones with different looking liquids inside. There was small table with few chairs in one corner, and in part of the building that had been carved inside the tree, there was small bed carved in the wall. In the same wall with the bed, there was sturdy looking door. 

Potion walked to a small cupboard at one of the walls and started putting the plants he collected in it. "I live in the forest because it is best place in whole Equestria when it comes to potion ingredients, and I enjoy the isolation it offers. Most ponies are too scared to come here so there is no excessive disturbance" "Oh, and name is Magic Potion, but I prefer to be called only Potion."

[Catpone Cerberus 23,601]

@Trixie .

"Hanging out on the moon out of own will, there is something I haven't heard before." Potion said. He sounded now friendlier than outside.  "And Your father sounds powerful." 

"If I might ask, what exactly you did to get banished? You told why you did it, but what you did?"

@Trixie .

"So you started a war." "I guess that could be seen evil enough act to lead to being banished." "Although almost 5000 years might have been a little overkill." Potion moved from the cupboard to next to one of the shelves and started emptying potions from his saddlebags on the shelve. "So, what are you planning to do now?" "Since there is new rulers and I don't believe you would get too friendly welcoming in the town."

[Catpone Cerberus 23,601]

@Trixie .

"Solid plan." "I don't really have personal experience with them but it seems that they are highly liked by most ponies." "They always try the peaceful way first as far as I know."  "There is also one princess in the Ponyville, Princess of Friendship or something on those lines, she could be the best choice if you wanted to meet current princesses some day." 

[Catpone Cerberus 23,601]

@Trixie .

"Ponyville is the town next to this forest." Potion said as he finished emptying his saddlebags. "Sure the Princesses are most likely hiding some things." "But I think lying and secrecy is sometimes better for the greater good."

[Catpone Cerberus 23,601]

@Trixie .

"Like I said I don't have experience with them, so I don't really know what I think." "But I guess they are aright rulers, since I'm here doing what I want to do. They don't effect negatively to me." "So you control stars? That explains why only moon and sun seem to move."

[Catpone Cerberus 23,601]

@Trixie .

"You might be right, I rarely see stars, I don't have reason to leave this forest at night." "Every 20 year huh? That explains why you seem so out of touch with current things." "If you are to get the control back, you should be in some sort of contact with the princesses before you start moving them." "Because you know, they might not like that they start moving differently without a known reason"

[Catpone Cerberus 23,601]

@Trixie .

Potion shrugged "Well, your actions, your consequences." "But If they start chasing you when that happens, don't come here." "I hate it when royal guard comes knocking on my door, asking about whoever was spotted near by."

"Out of the ordinary? Depends what is the ordinary." "For someone who lives outside this forest, everything is out of ordinary, and for me, nothing is." 

"I mostly see wild animals and poisonous plants in this part of the forest." "Then there is this spirit of a mare, interesting individual, sadist." "And last there is the random visitors like you that appear once or twice, or attack me and get either killed or chased away." Potion explained casually.

[Catpone Cerberus 23,601]

"Not too much." "She is few hundred years old, plus the time she was alive." "She is linked to an old artifact." "And she likes to see ponies in misery, everything from being scared to....well, worse" "And yes I have, few, in self-defense" "I don't enjoy it, but sometimes it's the only way." 

[Catpone Cerberus 23,601]

@Trixie .

"She isn't that bad, she would never bother to hurt anypony, only scare them." "And if she would be interested in you, you would have already met her."
"Forest is good place for laying low, there is all kinds of...things hiding here for a reason." "You can stay here as long as you want, as long as you don't cause any problems for me."

[Catpone Cerberus 23,601]

@Trixie .

"It's simple really." "Anything from damaging my work to mixing me to any unnecessary hostilities." Potion said with his usual calmness. "And true, you seem strong enough to kill me, and could have done that." "But I also could have killed you right when you set your hoof in this building, if that was my thing." "I have made more different poisons you know exists and I have knowledge to make powerful magical explosives." "But like said, I don't enjoy killing ponies."

@Trixie .

"I don't know what runs or what doesn't run i families." "But what comes to my family, it's more than that." "You see, our talent is not only thing that goes from father to a colt." "We all also share same name, my father was Magic Potion like his father and his and so on." "I have no idea who was first Magic Potion, but that doesn't really matter anyway."

"I never met my grandparents either, they died before I was born."

[Catpone Cerberus 23,601]

@Trixie .

"That's what makes us two different, I have no need for knowing who might have been the pony to start this heritage, it's totally irrelevant to me." "And of course we have unique cutiemarks, they all share the same theme sure, since our talent is the same, but they are totally different."

[Catpone Cerberus 23,601]

@Trixie .

"Those are differences that does not matter, because it's not a choice what or when you are." "You can be different creature, but still be the same." "But anyway" "I want to continue my work, but I know you mean something else." "And to that I have to say that, I don't know."

[Catpone Cerberus 23,601]

@Trixie .

"Go ahead" "I'm not stopping you" "She usually is somewhere around this part of the forest, you know you're close if there is unnatural fog or horrified ponies." Potion explained "and air might feel little colder too, but that's not a reliable sign."
