Chapter 2

Twilight turned me invisible and we headed into town to her library house. Once we were inside she dispelled my invisibility and I asked, "So Twilight how long do you think it will be before you find a way to send me back home?"

Twilight frowned and said, "Um about that so the chances of me or anypony being able to send you back to the exact place or time you left is slim to none I'm sorry Daemeon I don't think you will ever be able to go back." I nodded grimly and said, "It's ok Twilight you don't have to apologize it's not your fault." Twilight nodded as a small purple dragon walked in saw me and said, "AHHH A MONSTER!" I quickly looked around and realized he was talking about me and I said, "No I'm not a monster I'm a human." The small purple dragon looked at me confused and Twilight said, "Relax Spike he isn't going to hurt anypony he saved me and the cutie mark crusaders from some Timberwolves all by himself." Spike looked me up and down and said, "Well if Twilight trusts you that's good enough for me." There was a knock on the door and I quickly hid behind a bookshelf so I wouldn't be seen by whoever was entering the library. The door opened and four ponies entered and closed the door behind them Twilight said, "Good I'm glad you are here there is somepony I want you to meet Daemeon would you come out here?" I came out from behind the bookshelf when suddenly I was hit with a cyan blur knocking me on my back. My training kicked in and I rolled over and jumped up so I am back on my feet. I brushed myself off and said, "Well that was a little unnecessary." Twilight said, "Rainbow Dash what are you doing he is a guest in my house." Rainbow Dash said, "Well how do you know he isn't a SPY?" I raised an eyebrow and said, "If I was a spy I wouldn't be here I would be observing from the shadows without being seen or noticed." Rainbow Dash shrugged and said, "Yeah I guess you are right." Twilight rolled her eyes and said, "Now that's out of the way Daemeon meet Applejack, Rarity, Pinky Pie, Fluttershy, and the one that tackled you is Rainbow Dash." They each waved as Twilight said their name. I smiled and said, "It's wonderful to meet all of you." Rarity said, "It's wonderful to meet you too darling but what are those dreadful rags you are wearing?" I looked down and asked, "What's wrong with what I'm wearing?" Rarity said, "Well first it's filthy and second it's so bland and dreary if you want I could make you a new costume?" I smiled and said, "Thank you Rarity but I couldn't ask you to trouble yourself with all that work on my account." Rarity smiled and said, "Oh heavens no it's no trouble at all." I smiled and asked, "So what would I owe you for the new outfit Rarity?" She smiled and said, "Nothing at all just stop by my shop later so I can take your measurements and we can go over some design ideas." I nodded and said, "Thank you Rarity that is very kind of you." Suddenly we heard a scream from outside and we ran to the window to see a pack of over sixty Timberwolves slowly approaching the town. Without thinking I put on my mask and raced out the door getting between the Timberwolves and some young ponies that were playing near the edge of town. I turned to the young ponies and said, "Go find someplace safe." The young ponies nodded and took off towards their homes. I turned back to the pack of Timberwolves and said, "Back for more are you? Well this time the kid gloves are off." I smiled as I used my fire manipulation to cause my hands to ignite in a dark blue fire. The first wave of Timberwolves pounced on me ten of them pinning me to the ground. I smiled and said, "Sorry fellas but I have a brighter idea." I burst into flames for a moment burning the wolves holding me to the ground and I threw a small fireball causing the remaining wolves to back up a bit. I advanced on them throwing small fireballs at them until they retreated back into the forest. Once I was sure they were gone I dispelled the fire and turned around to see the entirety of Ponyville behind me and when they saw me they began cheering. I said under my breath, "So much for keeping a low profile." Within seconds ponies that had so many questions surrounded me. I said, "Please one at a time." The first pony asked, "Where did you come from?" I replied, "I came from a land far away." Another pony asked, "Who are you?" I smiled and said, "My names Lightning." They looked at each other for a moment then they all shouted, "HOORAY FOR LIGHTNING" I smiled and said, "I appreciate it really I do but I don't save people to be thanked I do it because they need my help and that's the only reason I need." I smiled and walked over to where Twilight and her friends were standing and Rainbow Dash said, "That was so cool how did you do that?" I shrugged and said, "I was born with that ability as well as a few others." They nodded and I asked, "So um until I can find a place to live or build myself a house do any of you know where I can stay for a few days?" Rarity said, "Oh daring you can stay with me and my sister in our guest room for a few days." I smiled and said, "Thank you for your generosity Rarity I will find some way to repay you." Rarity smiles and said, "Oh I wouldn't dream of asking you for such a thing seeing how you just saved out town and all." I nodded and said, "After you Ms. Rarity lead the way." She giggled and said, "Oh my what a gentlecolt."
