Anyways, on with the story!

Frostbite woke up feeling slightly rejuvenated. Even though it had been a rough night he had still regained a little bit of energy. He rolled over and saw Silver still asleep. He got out of bed, being careful not to disturb her as he did so. He pulled on the cloak that they had saved from the rubble. It was white with a black outline and a black symbol of unknown origin on it. He went down the hall to the living room and saw Thorn preparing breakfast.

"Morning Thorn"

"Gmorning Frostbite"

"You want any help with breakfast?"

"Sure, if you want to."

"Okay cool"

Frostbite walked into the kitchen and looked at what Thorn was making. He was putting together a salad with hay, grass, daisies, and cut up apples. Frostbite walked over and began slicing more apples as Thorn continued to take the other ingredients out of their bags. Within ten minutes they had made enough salad for the four of them. The two walked back into the living room and slumped down onto the couch. Frostbite took the opportunity to get to know Thorn a little better.

"So do you live here alone with your mom?"

"Actually she's not my real mom. My parents gave me up at birth cause they thought I'd have a better life with another family. But yeah, I do live here alone with her."

"Oh well that's interesting. Do you go to school here?"

"Yeah I go to Ms. Sunshines School. How about you? Where do you live?"

"Well… I lived in a home with both my parents and Silver, but the town we lived in shunned us for our abilities. They thought it was a sign of evil that we could do what we can so they created a mob. They burned down our house and killed both of our parents."

Frostbite stared down at the ground, slowly reliving what had happened just a few days ago.

"Wow. I had no idea. I'm really sorry to hear that. I really am."

"It's fine. Don't worry too much about it. Just try not to bring it up around Silver ok?"

"Yeah sure thing. I won't bring it up around her."

The two sat there in silence until they heard Silver trotting down the hallway. Frostbite couldn't help but laugh at how much of a mess her mane was. Hair shot out in random directions and looked as though she had gotten electrocuted. Frostbite grinned.

"Nice hair."

Silver glared at him.

"Shut up, if you were a girl your hair would be like this too"

"Yeah… but I'm not, sooooo that doesn't matter"

"Whatever, hi Thorn"

"Gmorning Silver"

Silver let out a huge yawn, followed by a rumble of her stomach.

"Any chance breakfast is ready?"

Thorn and Frostbite both smiled as they got up and showed her their handiwork. They enjoyed their salad and left some for Lightbeam. Silver seemed really excited.

"Sooo can you show us around town Thorn?"

"Yeah sure thing. Just let me grab my jacket, it's pretty cold out in the mornings."

"Ok"

Thorn ran down the hall and into his room. Frostbite looked at Silver, realizing she'd probably be cold as well. He slipped of the cloak and made Silver put it on. Silver gladly slipped on the cloak and was happy that she wouldn't be cold. Thorn returned wearing a black coat.

"Ok you ready?"

Both of them replied simultaneously

"Yep"

With that they headed out on their way. Thorn first showed them the town hall. It was a large building, with two statues of soldier ponies in the front, huge pillars lining the walls, and elegant carvings all along the sides of the roof. Frostbite thought it was a little bit overkill, but hey, if you want to make an important building why not decorate it. Thorn then proceeded to take them to the school grounds. It was a Saturday and there were no children there, but they could still see the outside. The back area was composed of a play structure, swings, sandbox, and other toys. Frostbite spoke up.

"So is this school for multiple ages then?"

"Yeah it's one of the few schools in town so it takes almost all age groups."

"Oh ok that makes more sense."

Thorn then led them to town center. It was bustling with merchants and stands selling all varieties of items. Neither Frostbite nor Silver had ever been in a place like this before, since they were never let into their old town because of their abilities. Frostbite stood in awe at the number of people before him. He slowly started to smile. This almost felt right to him. All these people around him, no one questioning him about who he was or what he could do. It felt nice. It made him feel as though he fit in. Suddenly, Frostbite remembered something. He turned to Silver.

"We still have to deliver that letter"

"Oh shoot I almost forgot!"

"We should leave at lunch"

Thorn overheard their conversation.

"Wait, your leaving already?" There was a tone of disappointment in his voice.

Frostbite was about to tell him yes when Silver said something.

"Yeah, we have to deliver a letter for a friend of ours. It's a pretty long trip, but you could come along if you'd like."

Frostbite and Thorn both stood with their mouths agape. Thorn had been waiting for something like this his whole life. He had always wanted to go somewhere outside of the town. And even better, now he could go with friends!

"I'd love to go!"

Frostbite just sighed, he it would be no use to argue.

"Ok, you can come, but you have to get Lightbeam's permission first"

Thorn agreed, if he didn't ask her she would get worried. They walked back to the house. Frostbite hade Silver wait outside with him since this was an issue between Thorn and Lightbeam. Thorn entered the house and called for Lightbeam. She walked downstairs and asked Thorn what he needed. Frostbite and Silver both began eavesdropping on the conversation.

"I want to go somewhere outside of the town"

"Ok, how about I take you to another town sometime?"

"No but I want to explore and go on adventures."

"What are you talking about? What you're saying doesn't make any sense."

Thorn knew he'd have to put it out there.

"I want to leave with Frostbite and Silver"

Lightbeam couldn't believe what she was hearing. He never seemed like he wanted to leave before. Why now? What had changed?

"Why in Celestia's name would you want to do that?"

"Because, Frostbite and Silver are the only friends I have. Everpony here is a unicorn or a pegasus, none of them are earth ponies like me. I want to travel with them so I can meet other ponies like me."

Lightbeam was shocked at this. She didn't realize how out of place he was until she heard him say it. She knew she was going to regret this, but it was what Thorn wanted.

"Ok. You can go. But when you reach another village, send me a letter ok?"

A huge smile broke out across Thorn's face. He jumped forwards and hugged Lightbeam.

"Ok I promise!"

Frostbite and Silver walked inside and Lightbeam began to talk to them.

"So where exactly are you headed to anyways?"

"We're going to Ponyville to deliver a letter for a friend."

"That's quite a ways away. Are you sure you can handle it"

"Yeah, we'll be fine."

Lightbeam had to admit, Frostbite had some confidence.

"Ok if you say so, when will you be leaving?"

"We're leaving today at lunch time"

Lightbeam said ok, she wasn't sure she was ready for this, but she had to let him go. They spent the rest of the day up until lunch talking and preparing for the trip. Lightbeam prepared all sorts of food that wouldn't spoil for them. Lunch time finally came. They ate their last meal in the village, said their goodbyes, and departed in the direction of ponyville.

Darkness fell. They had been walking for hours on end. They were hungry, tired, and needed a break.

"Let's stop here and make a camp"

Silver and Thorn both sighed of happiness and slumped to the ground. Frostbite just smiled and made a small pile of twigs and branches. He unscrewed the lid of the lantern that Lightbeam had given them and used the flame to start their fire. He slowly added larger and larger sticks and logs until they had a large fire going. The three of them sat around the fire in silence, enjoying the warmth. Within a matter of minutes all of them had fallen asleep.

The boy sat in his room. He was watching bleach episodes on his laptop, and was nearing the end of the series. He was so sucked in to the video that he didn't notice as his room began to glow a light red color. The video ended and he grabbed his iPod, with a built in solar charging case, put in his earphones, closed his eyes, and laid back.

"Something isn't right" he thought to himself. He slowly opened his eyes. What he saw made him shoot out of his bed. There was a pair of red, gleaming serpent eyes staring at him on his wall. He instantly began to yell at it.

"What the hell! What the fuck are you?"

"All in time young one, all in time."

"No not in time tell me now you freak!"

"Hm. You seem to have some fight in you. Perfect."

A scared expression crossed his face

"What do you mean perfect?"

He swore if that thing had a mouth it would be grinning.

"Care to find out?"

"NO. What the hell are you and what do you want with me!"

"I am a demon. I usually wouldn't make my presence known to a mortal such as you. As for what I want with you, I have an offer for you."

The boy raised an eyebrow, "And what would that be?"

"If you accept, you shall be reborn into a new world, and you shall be reborn possessing some of my powers. You will be able to start anew, a second chance at life if I may. If you deny, you shall remain here. Lonely. Uncared for. Friendless."

There was one last thing he needed to know.

"Exactly what world would I be reborn in?"

"I believe you've heard of it before. It's called Equestria."

His eyes widened in shock. He was a brony, always had been, he'd dreamt of being able to go to Equestria. And here it was, right in front of him.

"I accept"

The demon seemed almost thrown off.

"Really? You aren't going to argue or ask about a catch or anything?"

"Well I am now."

The demon swore under his breath.

"Damn me and my big mouth. Ok fine there's some things you should know. You will not be normal, since you will be fused with my power; you will have an appearance of half dragon half pony. You will go by a name of my choosing and you do as I instruct you when you arrive. Understood."

"Understood Mr….. ummm…"

"I do not have a name. I am simply a spirit. Now, you may bring one thing with you. I shall make it compatible with the world you are entering."

He quickly grabbed his IPod and threw on his black jacket.

"Ok I'm ready."

The demon let out a chuckle.

"You better be."

Below the eyes, where the mouth should be, a large swirling portal emerged.

"Step through this portal and your new life shall begin. I shall be in contact with you while you are there as well."

He began to walk towards the portal, but something stopped him.

"What's wrong?" the demon inquired.

"What will happen to my presence in this world? Will I be remembered?"

"No. All memory of you shall be removed from this world."

His mind was settled. All his questions were answered. He was ready.

He stepped through the portal and everything went black. He tried to move but could not. All of a sudden he felt a pain like he had never felt before in his life. His bones stretched and moved and re-aligned themselves. His skin and muscles stretched and tore, blood ran all across his body. He tried to call out but couldn't will his body to do so. The pain slowly ebbed as his new body finished taking form. Wisps of red slowly crawled out from the darkness, wrapping around his body, soaking in through his skin. The tears quickly healed and he felt a soothing sensation wash over him. His muscles relaxed, the pain faded, and he slowly regained control of his body. Once he regained full control of his body, the demon spoke once again.

"Your new body is complete. You now have the body of a half pony half dragon. You also possess a small amount of my power."

"This is awesome" He looked over his new body with a look of approving.

"You shall go by the name of Morgrimor."

He thought it sounded cool. It sounded like some ancient language name or something.

"Ok works for me"

The demon chuckled.

"You don't argue much do you?"

He smiled.

"Nope!"

The demon chuckled again. "Well you're probably going to argue this next part."

He swallowed. "And what might that be?"

The demon began, "Well…"

Morning came.

The sunlight danced through the trees casting broken shadows throughout the forest. Thorn slowly awoke, letting out a large yawn followed by rolling around and stretching. He got up. Everything looked so pretty. He had never been in the forest before, just looked at it from the outside. He heard a little yawn and looked over to see Silver get up. He smiled. Her coat shone from the light breaking through the cover of the forest. He couldn't help but gawk at her beauty. She noticed this and giggled. He quickly looked away blushing madly. She just walked over and sat next to him smiling. He wasn't really sure what to say so he just sat there awkwardly. She leaned into him.

"Good morning Thorn."

Thorns face quickly turned red, "Oh uhh gmorning."

She looked up at his face and giggled, "Your face looks like Christmas."

His face was a mixture of his green coat and his red blushing. He smiled at her comment.

"Thanks I guess?"

Silver just giggled, "Your welcome"

The two sat there for a while. Thorn looking off into the forest, Silver looking off into the forest as well, leaning into Thorn. They both heard a yawn and turned to see Frostbite slowly getting up. He looked over at the two of them and a grin grew on his face.

"Did I miss something?"

Both of their faces lit up bright red and Frostbite fell down laughing.

Thorn stammered, "N nn no nothing happened."

Silver followed soon after, "y yyeah we were j just enjoying the morning."

Frostbite just gave them another grin, "Sure ya were."

They both responded simultaneously, "We were!"

Frostbite was about to make another comment, but he heard something odd. He quickly shushed them and listened closer. It was feint, but it was there. There was a sound of a low growl and large footsteps. He told them to grab everything and to get moving. They were about to start running when they all heard it. A loud crashing noise sounded followed by a massive roar. They turned to see a manticore staring at all of them with a hungry look in its eyes. Frostbite turned and yelled.

"Run! Try to find somewhere hard for it to follow us!"

They shot off in the opposite way of the manticore, quickly weaving in-between trees. That only pissed off the manticore as it tore down everything separating it from its prey. Frostbite quickly explained the situation to the others as they ran.

"Ok we don't stand a chance against it in here. We need one of two things. We either need to find a lot of water or a large clearing."

Thorn was confused, "How would that help?"

Frostbite continued to explain as he ran, "If we can get to water I can turn it to ice and try to stop it with that. If we find a clearing, Silver might be able to get enough sunlight to blind it or cloak us or something. The water would be our best option because it would let both of us use our abilities."

Thorn understood now. Frostbite had no intention of running. He was going to fight it.

They ran for five minutes, the manticore still close on their trails. That's when Frostbite sensed it. Water.

"Quick follow me!"

They took a hard right and kept running. They quickly broke through the foliage into a large clearing. In the center was a small pond of water. Frostbite cursed under his breath. That wasn't going to be enough water to stop a manticore. He had an idea though.

"Silver, Thorn, keep it busy!"

He turned and took off towards the pond.

Silver and Thorn followed until they were midway into the clearing.

They waited until the manticore reached the edge of the clearing. It seemed almost hesitant to leave the cover of the forest. Slowly it moved all the way into the clearing. Silver prepared herself. She opened her wings, facing them towards the sun and cupped them. Her wings slowly began to collect sunlight and stored it. She was going to need time though.

"Thorn I'm gonna need more time"

"But what am I gonna do? I can't fight"

Silver looked at him with a look of disbelief, "Are you serious? You can control the growth rate of plants can't you? Wrap him in plants or something! Anything to slow it down!"

Thorn focused. He had never done this before. But now he needed to. He had a purpose, and he wasn't going to let them down. He trotted towards the manticore. The manticore looked at him with a confused look. Thorn raised both his hooves into the air, and then slammed them into the ground, burying them in the dirt. The manticore was now hopelessly confused. It had chased many preys, but this was the first time it had ever seen this. It realized that it really didn't care and that it was hungry. It charged at Thorn, growling the whole time.

Thorn watched as it approached him.

"Closer, closer, closer…" once it was within twenty feet he smiled.

"Hope you don't mind thorns."

Ten, foot thick, thorn covered vines sprung out of the dirt and wrapped themselves around the manticore. They weren't going to be able to hold it forever, but it would be enough. He willed the vines to pull the manticore to the ground, immobilizing it. Silver watched in awe. She was proud of him. He had been presented with a challenge, and he stepped up to it. She returned her focus to herself. She was almost fully charged.

Frostbite looked back from the pond. Silver was charging and Thorn had it pinned.

"Good, this is going well." He thought to himself. He returned his attention to the ground. He was going to need more water, and the ground was marshy and full of it. He slowly extracted the water from the surrounding ground, storing it in large patches of ice for later use. He heard a deafening roar and turned around.

The manticore had managed to snap most of the vines. Thorn was continuing to hold it down, but it was to no avail, it was just too strong for him alone. He wrapped the vines as tightly as possible and retreated back to where Silver was. Silver explained her plan to him.

"Are you sure that's a good idea?"

"Don't argue and get ready"

Thorn sighed; well it was at least worth a try.

Frostbite looked over at his accomplishment. He had nearly quadrupled the amount of water he had started with. He began to run back over to the others, bringing his ice with him.

The manticore snapped the remaining vines and turned its attention back to its prey. Silver and Thorn watched as the manticore menacingly walked closer. Silver just smiled. She hoped it wouldn't miss its eyesight too much. She put both of her wings together in front of her, leaving a small gap open in the front. This created a large chamber where she could release the sunlight with a small, precise opening in the front. Once the manticore was thirty feet away she released. Ten minutes of sunlight was released in one second, amplifying the brightness 1000 fold. The manticore reeled back as the light hit its eyes. Everything had gone black. Thorn quickly created two vines and swept its feet out from under it. The beast collapsed on its back, limps flailing in the air. Thorn restrained it using various types of plant life this time to greater his chances of being able to hold it down. Silver and Thorn looked at the manticore, grinning at their accomplishment. Thorn turned to Silver smiling.

"That was pretty great what you did back there."

Silver blushed, "You weren't too bad yourself."

Now it was Thorns turn to blush, "Yeah I guess so. We make a pretty good team."

Silver moved in closer, "You really think so?"

Thorn wrapped his arms around her and looked into here deep, blue eyes.

"Yeah I do."

The romantic moment was swiftly ruined by blood and flesh being spewed everywhere as Frostbite dismembered the body with a tornado of ice shards. Silver and Thorn were both coated in blood. They both stood there shaking. Frostbite walked over to them, a sly look on his face.

"I'm sorry; did I do that at a bad time?"

Silver and Thorn just looked at him like they wanted to kill him.

Frostbite just laughed, "Cmon. We need to get going. You two can have plenty of time together later. Uninterrupted I may add."

The two blushed, even though it couldn't be seen through all of the blood.

Frostbite returned the ice to its water state and rinsed them in it, effectively removing all the blood from their coats. Frostbite returned to the carcass of the manticore. Despite much opposition from Silver he took the teeth out of the manticore's dismembered skull, and put them in the cloak pocket. When Silver asked him why he did it, Frostbite simply responded bragging rights. Silver rolled her eyes; he could be such an idiot something. She looked up to the sky. They had wasted too much time. It was almost night.

"Frostbite, can we just spend the night in this clearing?"

Frostbite shrugged, "I don't see why not. Hey Thorn, could you grow us some kind of shelter?"

"I would but I'm sucked dry of energy"

Frostbite nodded, "Ok. That's fine. You worked hard. We'll just sleep in the grass then."

The other two nodded in approval. Thorn used his last bit of energy to grow the grass longer and more plentiful, making it more comfortable to lie on. Frostbite watched as Thorn fell asleep. Silver followed him soon after. Frostbite looked up at the stars. He couldn't believe that somepony placed each and every one of them. He made up his mind. He was going to meet the pony who did it. Someday. He was about to drift off into sleep when a red light startled him. A red comet shot across the sky into the clearing, smashing through several trees along the way. He looked to Silver and Thorn. Neither of them had awoken. He got up and trotted over to the point of impact. He looked into the crater and saw a reflective, metal object at the bottom. He slid down into the crater observing the object. He couldn't believe what it was.

Don't you just love cliff hangers? :P It might be a while before the next chapter cus i'm gonna be gone for a while. I'll still be able to respond to emails though.
