Silver Light of Equestria Ch 3… A Ponyville Greeting

A/N: I have gotten such a positive response from the last couple of the chapters. I am really happy for how this is turning out. Rocky is helping me with this chapter with his OC. So please enjoy.

Silver and Shadow walked to the carriages. Silver stepped aside to allow Shadow get in first. Shadow chuckled as he got in and sat down. Silver climbed in behind him, and sat across from him. Shadow gave the signal for take off, and the carriage took of flying directly toward Ponyville. Silver was looking out the window, trying not to make eye contact with Shadow. Shadow noticed what Silver was trying to do, and chuckled. "Silver you don't have to be so uptight, and formal around me. Mom told me how formal you are because of Celestia. Please try to relax" He told Silver

Silver looked over to Shadow, and scratched the back of his head. "I'm sorry Shadow. I just wasn't sure how you would take informality." He said shyly. Silver was really nervous around the dark alicorn.

Shadow crossed his hooves. "Now don't get the wrong idea, when it's just us you can talk freely, but if you humiliate me, or make me look bad. I swear on Celestia, that I will end you." He said sternly.

Silver gulped and nodded. "Understood sir." He said shrinking in his chair. He resumed looking out the window. He was thinking to himself. "What was Luna thinking, her son doesn't seem to like me very much."He thought to himself.

Luna's voice appeared in his head, after she read his thoughts. "Silver it's me Luna, I'm talking to you through our minds, and I know shadow can seem intimidating, but just try to get to know him. He is a good boy. You just have to get to know each other." She said in his head.

Silver mentally sighed. "Alright Luna, I'll try, but if he tries to smite me, you might need to vacuum up my guts." He told her.

Luna giggled "I don't think it will come to that." She said leaving his mind.

Silver sighed and looked back to Shadow. "So Shadow, have you been here before?" he asked.

Shadow nodded. "Yeah I have some friends there." He said with a bored look on his face.

Silver nodded not sure whether to continue the conversation. "Oh that's cool." He said

Shadow just nodded. "Yep" he said clearly uninterested.

Silver sighed and just sat back and waited for them to get to Ponyville.
They sat in silence for the rest of the ride. When they finally touched down in Ponyville, Shadow got out first. Silver put on a serious face and climbed out after him. Everypony was bowing to shadow as he walked through the town toward the house Celestia had acquired for was following close behind Shadow. He noticed a pink pony in the distance bouncing towards them at a rather fast speed.

Shadow noticed the pink mare. "Oh, no..."

"SHADOWMERE!" Pinkie yelled, tackling him.

"Ouch... Hello Pinkie." Shadowmere said, levitating her off of him and getting up.

Silver ran over to them and looked at the pink mare floating in mid air above Shadow. "I assume this is one of your friends?" He asked sticking a hoof out to help him up.
He noticed a light blue colored mare walk up next to Pinkie, with a shocked look on her face.

Shadowmere replied "Yes, isn't it obvious? We are so much alike." In a sarcastic tone.

"It's been a while, how come you're here?" Pinkie asked, still being levitated.

"Well, I wanted to visit you, of course. Why else would I leave my comfy couch?" Shadowmere said, smiling at her.

When Pinkie was released from his magic, she hugged him again. "Well I'm happy to see you, I'm sure the others will be to, I don't know where they are right now bu-"

Shadowmere put a hoof to her mouth, chuckling. "I'll find them eventually."

Pinkie nodded. "Okie Dokie!"

Shadowmere looked over to the blue mare. "Who is this?"

"Oh, her name is Chrysta. She is my new friend!" Pinkie said cheerfully.

"Well, I guess it's nice to meet you Chrysta. I am Prince Shadowmere." Shadowmere said, holding out a hoof.

Chrysta shook his hoof gently. "Nice to meet you too.." She said in a quiet voice.

Silver was standing behind Shadow, not wanting to interrupt, or get in the way. He was thinking about what he was going to be doing the next few days when the pink mare tackled him in excitement.

"So who are you? Are you new here? What's your name? I'm Pinkie Pie. Would you like to be my Friend? Everypony is my friend." She said very quickly.

Silver gave her a blank and confused look before saying. "I am Silverlight, yes I am new here, and sure I would love to be your friend." He said answering her questions, and also levitating her off of him.

Shadowmere chuckled, watching Silver get Pinkified.

Chrysta smiled slightly, but still didn't say anything else.

Silver chuckled standing up and setting the pink pony back on her feet. "Well it's nice to meet you." He said to Pinkie. He sighed and brushed himself off before turning to Chrysta. "And according to Pinkie, you're Chrysta, right?" He asked extending a hoof for her to shake.

Chrysta lightly shook his hoof. "Yes." She said quietly.

Silver nodded and gave her a small smile. He let go of her hoof. "Well I'm Silverlight and it's a pleasure to meet you." He said.

Chrysta smiled a very small smile and just nodded her head. She then looked away and pretended to be focused on watching a butterfly.

Silver felt a magical pressure build. It was getting close to them. Silver turned around to where he felt the pressure. "Shadow did you feel that?" He asked.

Shadow nodded. "Yes, I did. But I have no idea who is making it."

"It feels similar to the pressure I defeated last night when I was with Luna." He said looking around for the source.

Silver saw where the pressure was coming from. A hole ripped open in the sky and a huge bug like creature with a white mask on it's head lunged out of it. The hole closed just as the creature left it. Silver jumped into action. He transformed and jumped into the air. He drew his sword and stopped the bug creature from attacking.

"I found it, this looks similar to the thing I defeated last night, although it has a different body."He said pushing the creature away with his sword.

Chrysta was slowly backing up, scared of what Silver turned into.

Pinkie just laughed and said, "Cool!"

Shadowmere didn't even pay attention. He was too busy trying to figure out what he wanted for lunch.

Silver felt a second pressure appear behind Chrysta. He quickly killed the one infront of him. He used a high speed running technique, to save Chrysta. He didn't have time to kill the thing before he reached Chrysta, so he grabbed her and flash stepped, away, with her in his arms, but not before the creature was able to claw his arm. Silver was standing twenty feet away from the creature with Chrysta in his arm and his sword in the other. In the arm he was holding Chrysta, he was bleeding. The bug like creature had been able to make a pretty deep cut into his arm.

"Damn this hurts," He said trying to ignore the pain. He looked down at the trembling Chrysta in his arm. "Are you okay? Did it get you?" He asked.

Chrysta didn't answer, she was to in shock. She wanted to spread her wings and fly off but she couldn't move.

Silver looked down at her. "It's okay, you're safe. I won't let it hurt you." He said holding onto her.

Chrysta just closed her eyes and trembled more violently.

Silver tried to calm her down. He looked up at the creature who was staring directly at them. Silver gripped his sword tighter. "Pinkie" He called. "Take Chrysta and get her to safety, I'll come and calm her down when I'm done here." He said

"Okie dokie" She said

Silver flash stepped over to her and put Chrysta on her back. Then he gripped his sword with both hands -it was harder to grip with his arm injured- and ran forward. The creature jumped into the air and dove down toward Silver . Silver jumped up and met the creature half way, and kicked it in the face, sending it flying into the air. Just as Silver was about to jump higher and kill the thing, another hole opened up and swallowed the creature before Silver could attack it.

Silver sighed and landed back on solid ground next to Shadow and Pinkie, who was supporting Chrysta.

Silver sat down and placed his hand over his injured arm, and began to heal it. He looked up at the rest of them. "Is anyone else hurt?" he asked them.

Pinkie shook her head, "No but that was so cool, the way you went like whoosh, and then like blam, and the way you saved Chrysta was awesome!" She said clearly overly excited.

Silver just sighed and nodded. "Chrysta are you ok?" He asked standing up and walking over to the trembling mare.

"Ye-yeah... I'm fine..." She stuttered.

Silver turned back to a normal pony. "Are you sure, I know flash stepping can scare some pony who hasn't done it before. I'm sorry, I just need to know your not hurt." He said

Chrysta tried to reply, but she couldn't form the words on her tongue. She just shook her head and turned. She flew off. She needed to be alone.

Silver sighed and watched her fly off. He turned to Pinkie. "You'll have to reintroduce me to her, I think that battle gave her the wrong impression." He told her.

Pinkie nodded actually being serious for once. "Yeah she is a sensitive and shy one" she said. She then Gasped. "I need to go make you a welcome to Ponyville party!" She said jumping up and down on the spot.

Silver shook his head and sighed. "No I don't think that's necessary, I don't want a party." He told her.

"Aww" She said sounding disappointed. "ok well at least let me introduce you to my friends later."

Silver nodded "Alright, that sounds nice." He said turning to Shadow. "So Shadow, should we head to the house?" He asked.

Shadow nodded "Yeah I need a nap." He said yawning and walking toward the house.

Silver followed and waved to pinkie as he walked. He was also thinking about Chrysta, he was worried about her and hoped that she was alright.
