Luna laid in her bed sleepless. She turned her head to look at the clock. 2:40 in the morning. She got out of bed and used a light spell to see her surroundings. She felt sad about what happened at Sam’s homeworld. They used the Blades of Tartarus. When she was dream walking earlier she saw a massive decrease in human dreams. All she saw was a hot hell that soon turned cold. Some survivors even died in their sleep. It was unnerving to know that Sam may be the last of his kind. It’s bad enough to send news that a loved one passed away but a whole entire race, that is a little too much to handle. She walked to Sam’s room to check on him. He was still asleep and Luna had this odd feeling of sadness that sooner or later she would have to tell him.

I woke up in the morning and today was the day. The Grand Galloping Gala. I headed to the bathroom to take care of my teeth and body. Then I walked back to my room to put on my catalyst and my new uniform. I walked down to see the gala’s decorations. The garden looked as beautiful as a painting and the castle looked fit for a king. I felt like nothing much would go wrong. As I ate breakfast with Celestia I asked.

“So what races will be there or is it just ponies?” I asked.

“Well it will be mostly ponies but they are going to be a handful of griffins.” she told me.

“Hopefully you got food for them.”

“I did and meat is part of their diet.”

“Can I try some meat?”

“Umm… ponies don't usually eat meat. I mean if you do it will certainly draw plenty of eyes.”

“Oh well this year is going to be interesting.”

“Well, hopefully for the better. Most years it's just the same thing over and over again.”

“Ya if you are an immortal being, life can be dull sometimes.”

“Ya, it really can.”

“Oh Sam since blueblood is not around can you greet the guests?”

“What really!?”

“Ya you are supposed to check the tickets if they area fraud.”

“Really i'm kinda honored.”

“It ain't much but it’s needed.”

After breakfast I went to the doors leading to Luna’s room and sat there waiting. After a while Luna walked out. “Good morning Luna, how did you sleep?” I asked but she just stood there looking at me kinda sad. “Are you ok Luna? Do you need a hug?” I asked with concern. Then she threw herself at me, hugging me.

“We're so sorry.” Luna cried.

“What is it?” I asked as she cried on me.

I was concerned about her because she was very upset about something that is about me for some reason so I asked. “Luna, do you want to talk to your big sister about it?” she nodded her head. “Ok i’ll take you to your sister.” Then I took her to look for Celestia. After a while we found Celestia in the garden.

“Hey! Luna wants to talk to you about something.” I shouted at Celestia.

“What's wrong, why is Luna crying?” Celestia asked.

“Well I don't know but I think that Luna wants to talk to you.”

“Well Luna, do you want to talk about it in private?” Celestia asked Luna.

“Ya-ye-yes I don't want to tell Sam.” Luna stuttered in her sadness.

“Sam, can you leave us for now?” Celestia asked.

“Yes princess.” I told her.

Once Sam left and went to his room to wait. Luna started to talk to Celestia.

“Sister there-there-” Luna said.

“There what? Luna?” Celestia asked Luna.

“They used the blades of tarteris!”

“Oh- Oh my and that's why you're upset?”

“No sister, we're going to tell Sam but we couldn't deliver the news. We just can't.”

“Do you want me to tell him?”

“Yes. no. but. aah!”

“Luna, you have to make up your mind.”

“Sister, why don't you decide!”

“Are you sure Luna?”

“Yes yes.”

“Ok Luna then I’ll tell him.”

Then Celestia went to Sam’s room to tell him. After she got to his room she told him. “Sam, can you meet with me in the throne room?” “Oh ok.” Sam said with concern.

In the throne room, Celestia and Luna sat there waiting for Sam. Once Sam got there, both Luna and Celestia looked at Sam.

“Yes, your highness?” Sam asked.

“Oh Sam, the reason why Luna was upset is because…” Celestia said before Luna interrupted her.

“One of our servants died in bed last night. We felt very bad for their family.” Luna lied to Sam trying to spare him from the dread of being the last of his kind.

“Oh ok that's quite depressing.” Sam said.

Then I proceeded to give Luna a hug. “Well that’s weird.”

I thought to myself but I continued my day. After a while I told Celestia that I’ll be leaving to see Vera and I went on my merry way. Once I got Vera’s place, the shop was closed and the light’s inside the shop were off. When I got up to the home part of the building I knocked on the door. Then Rosey opened the door and she seemed a little drunk.

“Hey big colt.” Rosey flirted.

“Umm… is Vera home?” I asked.

“Ugh. Vera, Sam wants you!”

“What’s wrong Rosey?”

“You just killed the mood.”

“Oh hey Sam how has it been?” Vera asked.

“Well some pony died last night and she’s sad about it. And your sister seems to be drunk.” I told Vera.

“Well she just got back from the bar.”

“Oh, are you two ready for the gala today?” I told them but they seemed a bit busy.

“Ok, Rosey you need to lay on the couch and in a little bit Sam will put you in your bed.” she told me and Rosey as she put Rosey on the couch.

“Noo I want a coltfriend.” Rosey protested.

“Sam doesn't want a marefriend.” Vera argued.

After we made sure that Rosey wouldn’t wander off and get a fine for public indecency, we decided to go for a walk around the block. After a few hours we walked back to check on Rosey.

“Uhh… I have a headache.” Rosey groaned.

“Hey get up, it's about time to go to the gala.” Vera said to get Rosey up.

“Ok see you at the gala.” I told them.

Then I left hoping that they would make it there. When I got back, I got the list of names for the tickets. At twilight time, Vera and Rosey were the first ones to come. Vera had a red dress while Rosey had a white dress. After a while the band for the gala came and Vera’s janitor took care of setting them up. All kinds of nobles began to show up around 8 or so.. Some brought their partners and others came alone. I got to see my first few griffins, their front looked like a bird while their back half looked more like a cat. Twilight and her friends came but also I also got to see the elements that I have been hearing about. Then after a couple of more guests, I got to see Blueblood and he just had this up to no good smirk on his face.

After I collected all the tickets and made sure the doors were closed, I went to join the party. I looked around and I saw a buffet filled with baked foods, veggies and most importantly meat. I haven't had pork and beef for a long time so of course I went to get myself some of that nice tender meat. Luckily, no pony or griffin even noticed me. I went to Vera and she had some shrimp. As we walked next to her, classical music was playing. Neither me norVera spoke a word,we were just enjoying the gala. As for Luna and Celestia, they were just enjoying each other’s company and conversation with a night off from royal duties. I started to eat my food before it got cold. That meat was filled to the brim with spices that made it somewhat overwhelming but I didn't care. It's been a few months since I last had meat. I'm not gonna let the extra seasoning stop me. A little bit later we saw Rosey walk towards us with a glass of water. Soon all three of us were just hanging out.

“Oh Sam, the speeches are going to start.” Vera told me. I look up to the small stage in the room. The princesses went up on stage and Twilight started her speech.

This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.

“Welcome family and friends. It’s been an interesting few years, the reintroduction of Luna to Equestria, the defeat of King Sombra in the Crystal Empire and the end of raids from Changeling hives. If it wasn't for my friends I wouldn't have known what to do during these encounters. I promise that the elements of harmony will spread harmony across Equestria. Far and wide making sure that peace will prosper as long as me and my friends last. The world may be rough but together we will make it.”

Then the crowd cheered, ponies stomped their front hooves and the griffins clapped their claws. As everyone cheered, I noticed a lurking shadow from outside but it was probably just a bird or some kind of animal. Some more ponies gave their speeches after Twilight. The captain of the royal guard gave her speech which was about keeping the land safe from the changeling threat, then the governors which was about keeping Equestria stable and running, and finally Blue Blood which talked about this hidden threat that is in the room, which was referring to me. But no pony nor griffin believed him. Oddly enough, he looked at the doors in his speech like someone was going to come in. After all of that Twilight came to me and started to talk with me.

“Hey Sa- what is that meat on your plate?” she asked.

“Ya.” I told her.

“Wh… I… what?”

“Yes it’s meat.”

“What is? Oh wait, you used to eat it back home.”

“Is ponies eating meat a foreign concept to you?”

“Well yes.”

“What do you need any way?”

“Well I was going to ask you to come with me, my friends want to meet you.”

“Can I tell Vera that I'm coming with you?”

“Yes you can.”

I turned around to Vera and said. “Hey, I'm going with Twilight for something. Ok?” Vera nodded her head because her mouth was filled with shrimp. So me and Twilight went out of the main room and into the halls. We went through the halls and into the princesses room. Surrounding the McGuffin table was her friends and Luna. But pink flashed before my eye which activated my flight or fight response and I pushed it. It was that pink mare when I greeted earlier and every pony's eyes widened.

“Oh fuck! Are you ok?” I asked in concern. No response. I stood there in shock. “Did… I kill her?” I asked in concern. Then she shouted “surpr-” I got scared again and kicked her in the stomach. The mare grouched in pain and every one rushed to help her. I stood back so I could stop beating up the poor mare.

“Well you're not on the surprise party list.” the pink mare said.

“I'm so so sorry.” I told her.

“Oh that's ok, honestly I'm quite impressed. Most ponies I surprise normally would freeze in place or run.”

“Oh well then thank you I guess.”

After we got to our seats at the table, Twilight's friends greeted me.

“Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie.” the pink chubby mare told me.

“Hi nice to meet you, I'm Applejack.” The cowmare told me.

“Rambo Dash” The rainbow pegasus.

“Rarity.” The white unicorn.

“Fluttershy.” The bat pony.

“Well it's nice to meet you all. Do you guys have any questions?” I asked. Then all of them raised their hooves and I thought to myself. “Ah shit here we go again.”

“Ok Applejack what's yours?” I asked.

“Ok what do you y’all wear like do you just wear clothes for everything or just for work and events?”

“Well I used to wear clothes for almost everything. The only time I'm not wearing clothes is when I'm sleeping. But ever sinceI was summoned, I sort of stopped. My coat acted as my clothes.”

“Oh! Oh!” Pinkie Pie said.

“Yes?” I asked.

“What do you guys eat?”

“Well, we're omnivores. We eat both plants and animals. And just recently I got to eat my first meat in this world.”

“Ohh so that plate on the table had meat on it?”

“Ya I finished it on the way over here.”

“What, what's your cutie mark mean?” Rarity asked.

“Ok it's not a cutie mark it’s a tattoo. And it doesn’t mean anything.” I told her.

“Umm… can I ask a question?” Fluttershy asked.

“Ya what is it?” I asked.

“What kind of mare… do you like?”

“What kind of mare do I like? Well I'm not into ponies.”

“Oh I… I see.” Fluttershy said as she started to hide in her wings.

“Did I just reject her?” I thought to myself.

“Oo! Oo! Sam, what is your favorite fiction?” Rambo dash asked.

“Oh I'm a big fan of warhammer 40k.”

“What is that?”

“Do you want to spend 30 hours explaining the whole lore of it?”

“Oh umm a different ti-”

Then the door slammed open and a guard came through the door. He had a few cuts and slashes on him and he was bleeding. Then he said. “Your highness we’re under attack! And they stoned Princess Celestia!” “By whom?” Luna asked. “Blul-” then he collapsed and died. Every pony was shocked at the scene.

“Well shit.” I said in shock.

“But who is attacking?” Twilight asked.

“I don't know! Is it the changelings again!?” Pinkie Pie asked.

“Blueblood.” I said.

“WHAT!?” everyone said in shock.

“Ya.”

“How?”

“Not right now we need to fight!” I said.

Everypony went out of the room but Luna stopped me. “Sam we need thou to go to the library and there should be a special button.” she told me. “Oh uh ok.” I said as the group left. “Ok, let's go to the library.” I told myself. After that I went to the library. I saw some militia as I suspected. They were covered in thick cloth, some armor and had spears. But there were a few that wore robes and they were unicorns. I avoided him so I wouldn't get captured or killed or whatever the hell to harm me.

Once I went to the library. I blocked the entrance with the table and one of the cabinets. “Ok button button button button. Where are you?” I told myself as I looked around the room. I tried to pull the books and nothing happened. I used the old lantern trick. Nothing happened and now there's a bunch of holes in the wall. But when I layed on the floor I saw a button on the ceiling. “Button!” I said in excitement. I grabbed as many books as I could to make my way up to the button. After a while I finally got it but time was in a crunch because I heard some ponies from the other side of the blocked doors. “Hey some pony is in there” the ponies from the other side. So I rushed to the button and pressed it. I felt the floor open up and me and the pile of books fell. “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!” I screamed as I fell down to the hole.

Luna fought for her sister against the militias and sadly the elements were stolen. As one militia cast a spell to immobilize her, it hit her and Luna fell to the floor. “oof.” she said when she fell. She looked up and saw one of the militias holding a container. “Oh not again.” she said as she was turned to stone. The same fate as her sister.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Oof.” I said as the books broke my fall. It became dark as the massive trap door closed. I used my catalyst to make light so I could see. I looked at my surroundings. There was a massive spiral staircase leading to the trap door and this long ass hallway. Thanks to the dark I couldn't see what was in the hallway. I got up but when I got up I felt something snap in my rear back leg. “MOTHER! FUUUUUCKKKKER!” I screamed in pain. After that I limped into the hall with a broken leg. After a while my eyes adjusted to the dark making it easier to see and I saw a treasury but not filled with gold coins but one filled with artifacts on pedestals. Some looked more girly while others looked like weapons and there were a few that looked like normal household things.

I decided to look at one of the many artifacts. One of the artifacts looked like a sickle on a long pole. There was a little tag on it and it was in Shakespearean english. “Night of the Moon that will be born.” it read. It took me a moment to realize that this was the thing that nightmare moon used to make those bat ponies. I put it back because I had no idea how to use it. After a bit more of looking at the artifacts, I decided to leave the treasury behind but before losing hope, a red glare caught my eye. It was this amulet that looked like an evil alicorn. It screamed powerful and the tag read, “The Alicorn Amulet.” I looked at the amulet with thoughts of power. Power to stop Blueblood. Of course I could get a different artifact but at this point I didn't care. All I wanted was to stop him. I braced myself for any of the corrupted voices this amulet had and put it on.

I felt the mana in my veins and felt my leg forge itself back to normal. I looked at my back and two red energy wings appeared. I looked up and saw the tip on a red energy horn. I have become a GOD. “HAHAHAHAHA! Your fucked Blueblood! Your fucked!” I laughed. I felt the power and I felt like slapping myself to keep in line. Oddly there were no new voices in my head. I rushed out of the room and climbed the stairs. I heard hoof steps and talking right above me. So I put my new powers to use and leaped. The trapdoors got obliterated. There was a lot of debris and smoke. Once the smoke cleared, there was a little pony shaking. “What are you?” he asked in fear. “I am a Tarren.” I said. I used my amulet to stop the electrical currents in his brain before he tried to attack, eventually turning him off. Then I walked out of the room. “Halt!” I heard from my right. There were some more of those mortal little ponies that trashed the gala. I turned off one of them and he just fell over. “OH SHIT! OH SHT-” The other’s said before I turned their brains off as well.

After running around the castle, I ran into another member of the militia. He charged at me but I just threw him out of the window like he was just a piece of trash. I came across the table that brought me here. It was DESTROYED, reduced to bits and pieces of itself and a handful of pieces were missing. I picked one up and I felt angry. The only thing that connected my world and this one. After more searching and dealing with the militia, I got back to the gala and Blueblood was there. It looked like everyone was turned to stone.

“You're too late Sam! I turned every pony and griffin to stone. And look what I got. That's right, I have the elements in my hooves and now I can get rid of you ONCE FOR ALL!” He monologues.

“Shut the hell up! And eat this!” I yelled. I attacked him by launching myself at him.

“Haha you fool I have the elements.” This magical energy shield thing surrounded him and the elements orbiting him.

I pulled the plumbing system out of the floor and used the water to make a star at the tip of my horn.

“Aww how cute.” Blueblood mocked.

I used the air to make a lens to make a laser and I blasted him. The energy shield started to crack, but he moved out of the way and started to fly. Sadly, I couldn't fly because I don't know how to fly with wings. So I just aimed the laser at him, melting parts of the ceiling. He slams himself at me, knocking me out of the castle. I activated my laser again but this time I used the sprinkler system for my fuel. Night became day in Canterlot thanks to my lasers. I got him again and the shield finally broke.

I pinned him down and tried to get the elements. “Now it is my chance to get the elements and soon I will rule Equest-. What! Are these my thoughts? Oh SHIT!” I quickly realized the amulet was taking over but I needed it to stop Blueblood. He launched himself up, breaking free from me. Then he pinned me to the ground. “Haha you can’t stop me! I am Prince Blueblood!” he said while the elements aimed at me. But they started to glow. “What in Tarteris!” he said in shock while the elements glowed. I had no idea what was happening. Then this multicolored explosion pushed me into the wall of the castle. I felt the amulet rip off of me taking a piece of skin and flesh off with it. The last thing I saw was Blueblood turning to stone before I fell unconscious.

I heard ticking from a clock and I felt cloth, like on a bed. I opened my eyes and I saw Vera, Rosie, Luna and Celestia. “Wha-what happened?” I asked.“You're alive!” Vera shouted while giving me a hug and Luna joined in as well. They both started to cry.

“Hey guys, are you two ok?” I asked as they clinged on to me.

“Sam, you were out for two days!” Vera told me.

“Two days, wow that's a long time.”

“Thou have saved us all.” Luna is sad. Then the memories from the gala came back to me.

“What, how did you guys turn back from stone?”

“Well the elements sort of have a mind of their own.” Celestia told me.

“Really? What happened to the elements? I- I remember me using an amulet and the elements exploded?!”

“Well my SISTER thought it was a good idea to give you access to the forbidden library! But it seemed to work out in the end.”

“How are the ponies that are keepers of the elements?”

“They're fine but the plumbing system is broken. But thanks for saving us.”

“Excuse me your highnesses but can you please leave? Visiting hours are over.” a white mare told everypony.

“Sure thing.” Celestia told her.

Then everypony left the room. I removed the sheets to see my body. I was completely shaved. I had scars all over my back legs and chest. I looked to the side of the bed and there was a mirror there. It wasn't big but it worked. There were two massive scars along my neck where the amulet was. I looked to the other side and there was a get well balloon. When I looked down I saw my box of tapes. I reached down and grabbed one with my hooves. It was difficult but I started to record. “Log 7…”
