POV ?

"Oops... Now I've done it." I stared at the body of the pony I just struck.. It looks like I broke some of the... ice off his helmet.. Is he some kind of ice warrior?

I saw blood trickling down the side of his face and I nearly freaked out, hoping I didn't kill him.. Luckily he was still breathing, and so I could finally relax knowing he's okay. "The least I could do is take you home till you regain conscious. You look heavy with that armor.. Hopefully theirs a way to make this easier?"

I looked around the castle a few times before I finally found a wheel barrel outside next to some hay. I filled it up all the way and pushed it inside to no surprise, the armor melted away, so I tossed him in, and cover him with hay so nobody could be the wiser. I smiled to myself, grabbing his bag with was really cold.. just like him. His breath sent a chill down my spine, and I even shivered a bit.. instead of heat, it was like he was emitting cold air from his body. How cold any being live like this? I wasn't possible.. For a pony anyway.

As soon as I pushed him outside, I decided to retrace my steps back home, about an hour walk, but I didn't have the time, so I pushed him as fast as I could, and luckily he was in a deep slumber, cause he may have fell out a few times.. adding some extra bruises to the large wound on the side of his head.

As soon as we got to my house, I was able to just leave him on the sofa, while I grabbed my medical kit. To my luck, he was still passed out, so I got to work, treating any wounds, and making sure he was all bandaged up. Even though the bandages covered his right eye a bit, he seemed perfectly okay, so I went out to buy some extra food with the money I got from that abandoned castle earlier, some fries, fresh hay, carrots, apples, etc. I wasn't much of a cook anyway, so sandwiches would be fine for now.

By the time I got back, it was getting real dark, so I thought I would write a letter for him and place it on the table just in case he woke up, apologizing for what happened and asking that he would stay and recover... I felt terrible about it, and I kept kicking myself mentally about it. I'm sure he didn't mean any harm.. Right?

I thought that maybe it was time I took a quick shower.. Just to calm my nerves and wash of the days dirt.

-Somewhere outside the house-

The howl of a wolf could be heard throughout the clearing, startling anything that heard it. Its claws dug into the soil beneath it, as its glowing blue eyes darted at the house knowingly, as if it knew who was in there. Rex bolted towards the house, with the feeling that its life long friend was in danger.

POV COLD SHEER

Ugh... Where am I? I looked around to see nothing but white. "Well look who's awake." The voice boomed all around me, as I looked around, not seeing anything but white. "Its been to long." The voice said.

"Who are you? Where are you?" I yelled back.

"I.. am your father." The voice said, sounding like it was fighting back tears. I was.. confused to say the least. As much as I wanted to believe him, this came from random. I started to wonder if Sombra was behind this.. But Princess Luna would prevent this right?

"How do I know you are?"

"I do not have the time to explain so listen carefully: Soon the Spirit of Nightmares will to rein terror across Equstria, and then possibly the world."

"Alkey wouldn't do that. He already started making friends with the pink pony before we all split."

"Not Alkey. A different spirit named Tantibus."

"Okay.. and what exactly do you want me to do about it? I couldn't even beat Sombra, not to mention I nearly died in that fight." I could hear my father snicker.

"Oh Cold.. you are much more capable then you realize. And if you really put effort into it, you would realize just how powerful you can be. But I must go. You most likely have somewhere between 1 an 2 years before Tantibus gains enough power to fight for control of the world. An do not worry, you will most definitely have allies in this fight, so you will not be alone. An once this fight is over, I can certainly promise that all will be revealed. I must go, I'm growing weak. We will meet again..."

"Wait, father! Theirs so much I need to ask!" I waited, with no response... Was that really him? An what he said.. Was it true? I hope not. Sombra is now gone, and now we got a new threat coming into play. But the part that intrigued me most, was his statement about me being much more capable.. Was I? Maybe I should get into a gym.. Wait... Wasn't I...?

I slowly opened my eye to see a faint light shinning through the window, probably from the moon, illuminating the room I was in. I was on a couch, next to a coffee table with a med kit on it. Next to that, a note. Yep, I was knocked out, and as if life was trolling me, I got something else I can't read- I thought to my self.

Just then, Rex tore right through the door leading outside, startling me before tackling me to the ground, and looking at me with an angry look.

"WHAT HAPPENED?!" Rex and I both turned our heads to look at this shocked mare. She had gray eyes, blonde mane and tail that curled at the end (not as curly as Rarity's), with peach colored fur. She had a towel around her waist, so I couldn't see what cutie mark she had.

Rex started to growl at her, making her shrink back, until I spoke up. "Rex calm down. I'm sure there is an explanation for all this.." I looked over to her, as she looked terrified with Rex staring at her, so I got in between to hopefully help her feel more calm. "Can you tell me your name?" I asked

"My name.. is Megan... Whats yours?" Megan? That's a strange name..

"My name is Cold Sheer. Be honest, did you knock me out?"

"Um... Maybe.." She looked away, fear still written on her face. "I'm so sorry when I was waiting for you to leave I thought you might have been someone still guarding the place and I didn't want any trouble I just wanted some spare money cause business is tight and-" I put a hoof over her mouth, still trying to process all that the said.

"Its fine, things happen, besides its not like I was doing any better things there."

"You were stealing stuff too?"

"Well I kinda worked there for about a week before Sombra bit the dust... but yea." She nodded as if understanding before looking behind me at Rex.

"He's not gonna kill me is he?" I turned around to look at Rex, who looks like he is ready to ponce on her.

"Rex? Nah he wouldn't, ain't that right Rex? Your not hurting ANYONE tonight?" Getting my message, he nods and walks out the door, probably going home. "Well thanks for watching over me, I'll just give you some bits for the door.."

"Wait" she interrupted "I wanted to take you somewhere as an apology.. For bashing your skull in.. Its the least I can do.. Please? I feel really bad about what I did, and I want to make it up to you."

Well if it makes her feel better about it, who am I to say no? Still, what that one voice said about Tantibus, I should start training.. Maybe she could help. "Sure," I answered "When do we leave?"

"We leave for Cantorlot, tomorrow morning, so get some sleep." She said, before wondering into her bedroom.

"Wait, so should I come back in the morning?" Suddenly, she reappeared and threw a pillow and blanket at me.

"No, just sleep on the couch. We are going to want to get there early to get the good seats. Goodnight!" She left back into her room, this time closing the door. At this point, I was to tired to make it back home, so I decided to take her offer, and sleep on the couch. But I wonder, whats this event that we are about to see?

Wow, its 2 am already? XD well, finally a decently long chapter, so I hope you all enjoy, and if you see any mistakes, make sure to post it on the review, and have a good night everyone!
