Finder smiled, and soon after they had a cute little foal as it was a cute little red one with Seeker's mane.

Seeker sat on the couch holding her, "So what shall we name her my love?"

Finder nuzzled her foal. "I dunno, but she's so cute."

Seeker thought "How about Sunrise?"

Finder shook her head "I'm thinking of Flame Ruby, she has fire like hair like you hun, and my red coat."

"It is perfect" he nuzzled her "Our little foal, Flame Ruby."

Finder blushed and kissed her foal "I love her, I can't wait till she's a beautiful little filly."

"Me neither." he handed Ruby to her. "I have a surprise for our little foal." he said walking to their room.

"Hmm what?" Finder blinked.

Seeker came out with the moonlight wool blanket with little stars embroidered on it and a moon in the center.

"Aw, it's so cute!"

"Yep and it's just for her." he added wrapping the blanket around Ruby.

Finder kissed her foal's head smiling.

"Well dear, time for Ruby's nap" he said as Ruby yawned

"Aw she is so cute." Finder said nuzzling her

He took Ruby to her crib. "Good night Ruby, sweet dreams." He started to sing a lullaby ;

"Sleep my foal,
Go to sleep my foal,
Dream sweet dreams of olden times.
Dream my foal,
Sweet dreams my foal,
Rest your weary mind.
trot under moonlit trees,
Sail all the wondrous seas,
Give into all your dreams
And sleep.
Sleep my foal
Go to sleep my foal
Have no fear
I'm here by your side
Dream my foal
Sweet dreams my foal
The sun has said goodnight
Drift through the open sky
Wings spread and spirits high
Wave as the clouds go by
And Sleep"

Finder smiled loving it. "Beautiful."

"Thanks it was sung to me by my mother."

Finder smiled "I'm glad we have a family Seeker."

"Me too Finder, me too" he said hugging her.

Later that night after they were asleep an unknown pony stole fire ruby from her crib and ran off.

The sun came up and Seeker who was the first to get up went to check on Fire Ruby. He walked into her room to find the crib was empty and there were hoof prints. "NOOOOO PLEASE LET THIS BE A NIGHTMARE! PLEASE LUNA WAKE ME UP!"

"It's no dream." Luna stated
Finder screamed "N-No... My little foal, what in Equestria could do such a thing!"

Seeker suddenly started shaking.

Luna looked at Seeker "Quit your shaking you wuss, you must find her! Only the stallion of this household can be the bravest! And Finder is gone to find her..." Luna stated sighing as Finder had left.
"By Celestia's wings, I will not lose my foal!" She growled trampling all over Ponyville

But he was not shaking in fear. "I WILL KILL THEM! I WILL KILL THEM ALL! I WILL MAKE THEM SUFFER! I WILL MAKE THEM BEG FOR MERCY!" he screamed in rage. "THEY WILL REGRET EVER HAVING MESSED WITH MY FAMILY!"

Luna's eyes widen "Seeker, do not kill, you're a better stallion than that!"
Finder searched everywhere growling.

Deep within a secret cave the pony who foalnapped Fire Ruby was feeding her. "Aw you're so cute, and you're mine now."

Seeker's horn was crackling with dark energy "NO! I WILL MAKE THEM PAY! I WILL MAKE THEM BEG FOR DEATH!" he yelled disappearing is a flash of darkness

Luna growled "Pony feathers! He's asking to be taken over by darkness like I was."
Finder panted and grabbed Seeker

"LET GO OF ME! I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS INJUSTICE!" he pushed Finder away "I WILL MAKE THEM BEG FOR DEATH! THEY NEVER SHOULD HAVE TOUCHED RUBY! NOW THEY WILL PAY WITH THEIR LIFE!"

Finder held on "Seeker! Please stop!"

"I SAID GET OFF!" he said throwing her with his magic and dissappearing

Finder grabbed onto his tail

Seeker turned to her "WHY WON'T YOU LEAVE US ALONE!" he said with two voices

"I'm your wife!" She snapped

"THEY TOOK RUBY NOW THEY MUST PAY!" he said. "WE WILL MAKE THEM SUFFER UNTIL THEY DIE" he said finally creating a barrier "DON'T TRY TO STOP US!"

Finder grabbed him before he could and placed her horn against his "Please Seeker, I don't want to lose you too!"

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO US! STOP! STOP THIS RIGHT NOW! WE WAITED A LIFETIME TO REGAIN THIS BODY DON'T TRY TO STOP US!" With a surge of strength he threw her at a wall.

"Seeker isn't yours, now begone!" Luna stated using her magic to banish the darkness as Finder laid there unmoving.

"WHAT?! YOU! HOW ARE YOU RID OF OUR CONTROL?"

Luna growled sending the darkness to a place where no pony should ever go "I said begone!"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" he screamed as the darkness left. Seeker collapsed next to Finder.

Luna gently shook Seeker

He jumped "FINDER!" he yelled rushing to her "PLEASE WAKE UP FINDER!" he shook her.

Finder was breathing but it was faint

"NO, NO, NO, NO, NOOOO! MY NIGHTMARE, ITS COMING TRUE!" he wailed, "PLEASE FINDER! DON'T LEAVE ME!"

Finder's eyes flickered as a soft moan escaped her lips.

Seeker didn't notice. "PLEASE MY LOVE, DON'T LEAVE ME!" he continued wailing.

Finder gently tapped him with her hoof, yet her beautiful horn was cracked.

"Finder who did this to you?" he asked focusing all his energy to his horn and firing a mending spell at her cracked one.

Finder closed her eyes resting against his chest "Your darker side, ask Luna for more... info..." She muttered weakly

"Rest my love." Seeker cooed. He turned to Luna, "What does she mean, my darker side did this to her?" He asked, "And just what IS my darker side?"

Luna sighed. "You had a darker side within you Seeker, it was the reason for your banishment, but thankfully I have managed to send it somewhere, where it cannot do any harm." she explained.

"WHAT?! No, you got it all wrong! I was banished because I couldn't use magic." he said

"No Seeker, you don't remember any of it, you were lied to about why you were banished!" Luna stated as Finder nuzzled him.

"NO! I clearly remember not being able to use magic!" Seeker said, "Even my own mother was disgusted when she found out!" He yelled "'GET OUT OF MY SIGHT YOU WORTHLESS MULE!' That is what she said to me when she found out."

Luna gently touched his horn with hers showing the memories the darkness never had let him remember.

Seeker was assaulted with a flood of images: His mother cuddling him as a foal. His father coming into the house mortally wounded. Him as a colt suddenly starting to shake, his horn crackling with dark energy. "I WILL KILL THEM! NO I WILL MAKE THEM SUFFER! I WILL MAKE THEM SUFFER UNTIL THEY DIE!" He screamed as his mother grabbed him. "LET US GO MARE!" He yelled shooting a bolt of dark energy at her killing her slowly and painfully. The villagers piling onto him. Him blasting them all away with dark energy. Tentacles of darkness emerging from his horn as he laughed "WE ARE UNSTOPPABLE!"

Luna sighed "Now you know."

"M-my mother loved me." he said sobbing "And I k-killed her slowly and p-painfully. I made her suffer".

Luna nodded "I'm sorry Seeker."

"So I did this my love" he said sobbing "I hurt you, I NEARLY KILLED YOU!" Seeker was sobbing uncontrollably

Finder gently placed her hoof on his back in comfort as she smiled a bit. "No, I did this to myself, trying to save you..." She stated weakly.

"Finder you need to rest, I will find Ruby I swear on my horn." he said

Finder started to get up.

"NO!" he shouted "YOU NEED TO REST OR WE WILL MAKE SURE YOU REST FOREVER!" one voice splitting slightly into two.

Luna sighed "Seeker..." She again zapped the darkness outta him.

He turned to Luna "Put it back. The darkness has finally yielded to my will, I can feel it. I will need its power Luna, please put it back."

"No, it will grow and take over you again Seeker, you will not need it, don't forget you have an even greater power beside you." Luna smirked looking at Finder who was using a powerful form of magic healing herself easily.

"Luna for all my life I have had the darkness in me. I feel sort of empty without it. So if not in full, just a shred of it. Finder's love will neutralize most of it, but I WILL have to have a shred." he paused "You have a shred of it too, don't you Luna? You know how it feels."

Finder placed her horn against his, soon powerful magic flowed into him, stronger than Twilight's.

"Finder what are you doing" he asked

Finder smiled as she stepped back "Giving you magic beyond that of the shadows can give you."

"Thank you Finder." He nuzzled her. "Now lets get our foal back!"

Finder nodded and headed off with him. "As long as we're together, our love with power our magic

They both focused on Ruby's thoughts and found the hidden cave.

A mare was taking care of the little foal

"WHO ARE YOU?!" Seeker shouted "GIVE US BACK RUBY!"

The mare moved back startled, but it looked like she was just an innocent yet abused mare.

Seeker rushed to Ruby, picked her up, and nuzzled her. "Its alright Ruby, Mommy and Daddy are here." he cooed.

The mare looked at him but backed away with her tail between her legs.
Finder blinked "She's a mute."

Seeker turned to Finder "Do you think we should trust her?" he asked casting an extremely strong protection spell on Ruby, "There now nopony can take her from us again."

"She's not the one." Finder stated using her sharp nose. "It was a stallion."

"Then let's get her out of here" he said

Finder looked at the mare, she could see the beautiful yet tattered looking wings showing that the mare was a young pegasus. "We can't leave this mare here though, she could get killed by that Stallion."

"Ok Finder." he said casting the spell on the mare, "Well are you coming?" he asked the pegasus mare.

She tugged at her hind leg showing that she was chained.

Seeker shot a spell at the chain, breaking it and leaving the mare unscathed. "Now let's go!"

She hesitatingly followed them. Finder smirked as they ran back to her place.

They arrived at their cottage and went inside, "LET'S CAST A BARRIER SPELL AROUND THE HOUSE FINDER!" Seeker yelled.

Finder nodded doing so

"Ok now we should be safe." he turned to the pegasus and back to Finder. "Finder I just thought of something. The moon flowers will be blossoming a week from now."

She nodded "Yeah."
The pegasus was trembling as she soon fainted.

"MOON DEW! Blitz and I know a secret spot where five Moon flowers grow. The dew collects and absorbs the moonlight. Harvesting all of it would be a whole vial, which is like 20 drops!" He went over to the mare, picked her up, placed her on the bed and started to tend her wounds. "With Luna's help we can give her a voice!"

"Yes of course! If it cured my blindness it could cure her being a mute!" Finder grinned
The pegasus only laid there wincing when ever Seeker touched her.

"It's alright young one," he cooed "I am not going to hurt you. You are safe now my wife and I will protect you and we will even give you a voice."

The pegasus was a full grown mare, but she continued to wince not liking a stallion's touch.

He looked at her sadly "You must have been violated huh?"

The pegasus looked at him shaking before she ran over to a corner and curled up in it.

He looked at Finder. "Finder will you do it? Maybe she will let you tend to her. as she was obviously raped by that stallion."

Finder nodded going over but oddly enough the mare instantly bolted away shaking.
"Looks like she's scared of both of us." Finder stated sighing

"Well we will just have to gain her trust."

The pegasus slowly came over to Flame Ruby and nuzzled her a bit.

Well I think she has taken quite a liking to Ruby" he slowly approached her "Listen we will take care of you, this," he gestured to the room "Will be your room" he said. Since they occasionally had guests the room wasn't plain but it wasn't extravagant either just a simple beautiful room.

She looked at him and moved back trembling again.

"It's alright" He gave her a moonlight wool blanket and started singing the lullaby;

"Sleep my foal,

Go to sleep my foal,

Dream sweet dreams of olden times.

Dream my foal,

Sweet dreams my foal,

Rest your weary mind.

trot under moonlit trees,

Sail all the wondrous seas,

Give into all your dreams

And sleep.

Sleep my foal

Go to sleep my foal

Have no fear

I'm here by your side

Dream my foal

Sweet dreams my foal

The sun has said goodnight

Drift through the open sky

Wings spread and spirits high

Wave as the clouds go by

And Sleep"

The mare blinked but she fainted again this time she stayed asleep

Seeker picked the mare up and placed her on the bed covering her up with the moonlight wool blanket "May Luna protect your dreams" he said and kissed her forehead good night.

The mare's wings started to unfold since they were stuck to her body in fear

Seeker smiled and quietly closed the door. "Well it has been a exhausting day my love, shall we go to sleep and try to find Luna in our dream?" Since they slept with their horns touching, they shared the same dream together.

Finder chuckled but said "No I don't want to see Luna tonight."

"Ok, Well let's go to bed. I put up a spell to alert us if someone comes in the house, or even near it." he said crawling into bed.

Finder was soon asleep with him as morning started to awaken the land after several hours went by

Seeker woke up and made breakfast for the mare and took it to her room.

The mare was panting a bit.

Seeker rushed over and gave her a check up with his magic. He sighed in relief, it was just a small cold. He summoned an ice pack and placed it on her head and set her breakfast in front of her, making sure to keep his distance.

The pegasus awoke slightly

"It's alright. I brought you some breakfast" he said using his magic to move the trey in front of her. It had binkberry muffins and apple juice.

The mare moved away from him shaking her head.

"What's wrong? he asked

The mare shook her head at the muffins because she was allergic to bink berries

"Ok" he said "You don't want the muffins. I'll just leave the juice here and make some regular pancakes and then I will bring Ruby to visit you." he smiled "Sound good?"

The pegasus looked at him, but slightly nodded a bit. Now in the light her coat was a beautiful golden brown, with a silky yet tattered blue mane.

'Poor girl' he thought making the pancakes. It was Blitz's secret recipe. Once the pancakes were done he brought them up to the mare.

The glass of apple juice was empty and on a table near the door. The mare was still in her cocoon made by her roughly trimmed feathered wings.

Seeker walked in placing the pancakes in front of her.

She sniffed them then instantly chomped on them leaving only the plate before going back into her cocoon

"Ok, now I will bring Ruby" Seeker said

The mare looked at him

"I am not going to hurt you." he said. As he started to walk out he had an idea. He turned to her, summoned a piece of paper and some colored pencils, and set them on the table.

She blinked but stayed on the floor.

He walked to Finder's room and knocked on the door.

Finder came out with Flame Ruby "Hey."

"Hey why don't we let the mare visit with Ruby?" he asked "She obviously adores her."

Finder nodded "I think she was there taking care of Ruby while the stallion goes out or something like that?"

But tonight, I really think we should talk to Luna about this." Seeker said as they walked to the mare's room.

Finder nodded, but she blinked watching little Ruby use her magic and come over to the mare who nuzzled Ruby lovingly.

Seeker nuzzled Finder. He looked at the paper he left. There was something drawn on it.

The paper was a thank you note, but she didn't want her voice back.
Already the mare was cuddling Ruby, yet her eyes started to droop

Seeker turned to Finder "Hey, how about we let Ruby take a nap with her." he said

Finder nodded letting the two sleep since Ruby seemed comfortable with the mare.

Seeker wrote on the paper 'What is your name? please write back' and left it by the mare.

The night passed as Luna appeared to the two ponies within the dream world. "You wish to speak to me Seeker?" She asked

"Yes Luna, we found a mare in the cave and I think you need to come and look at her." he said

"A mare huh? I can sense her presence but her mind is full of nightmares." Luna said softly. Finder blinked.

"I figured that much, but you need to see her please"

Luna blinked "Something powerful is preventing me from stopping her nightmares." She stated sadly
Finder nodded "Must be the stallion or worse."

"Well then could you come to our house physically and help?"

Luna nodded "But someone has to protect the night child, I'm afraid I cannot leave my duties." She stated

"Then later please? We really want to help her." He nuzzled Finder "We thought about moon dew to give her voice back, but she wrote that she didn't want it back. So what do we do?"

"The best way to help this mare is to get her to see and to trust you. Once that is done, the mare might be able to open up to you more." Luna explained.

"Ok thank you for your advice." Seeker replied "Oh and by the way Luna."

"What is it?" She asked looking at him.

"Your night is beautiful. Right Finder?"

Finder nodded
Luna blushed looking away "Thanks, now go young ponies..." She muttered leaving
