Hey, how's it going? I'm hoping this chapter will be a bit better... That last one I released wasn't very good. I'm sorry. I'm going to take a bit more time when writing these. Anyways, here's the chapter.

" Who are you?" Moon asked. Standing in front of him was a zebra mare. She had various different piercings and seemed, odd to him.

" I could ask you the same, but for you I'll give my name." The zebra mare said. " I'm a zebra as you can see. And Zecora is what you call me."

" You speak in rhymes?" Moon asked.

Zecora nodded her head.

" Well that's just great..." Moon said. " Listen, can you help?"

Zecora looked slowly at the statue and slowly at him. " There are many things I know, but I could've helped you days ago."

Moon put a hoof to his head. This zebra was getting on his nerves. He sighed slowly. He casually looked at the ground. He turned to the statue of Knives. " I'm going to send you to Canterlot Castle. Hopefully The princess will free you. And hopefully your sentence for betraying Equestria isn't too hard. That is to say if you don't end up in the secret underground dungeon. No light, no food, and it's colder than winter down there." Moon looked at the statue for a few seconds. He full well knew that Knives could hear everything that was going on.

Zecora watched as Moon conjured up a note and quill. He wrote down a note, and stuffed it into the stallion's scared open mouth. He also scraped some rock bits off of Knives's cheek. He lit his horn and suddenly the statue disappeared. He turned to her.

Moon levitated the rock bits in his white aura and also teleported them.

" Come with me if you want to save, for this Fractured Heart doesn't behave." Zecora said. She began to walk away.

" What? That's it? Just follow you?" Moon called. Zecora didn't even stop. Moon sighed and ran after her.


Dream Rider was sitting in the royal castle by himself. He still wasn't used to being around some of the ponies. Pinkie Pie was the most difficult to deal with. She was always energetic, happy, and ready for a party. She obeyed no laws of physics. Dream decided to label her as an anomaly. Twilight was odd too. She was very smart, but then she could go from calm and collective, to psycho at the drop of a hat. Rainbow Dash was always bragging, but he could tell she could probably pull everything off she boasted about. Applejack was uncomfortably normal and nice. Out of all of their friends, Applejack was always there being nice and not much else. She did like to challenge Rainbow Dash, but she's just an earth pony, what could she really do? Applejack was also the one that if he had to forget about one of his friends, he'd forget about her. Fluttershy was cute, not in the sense that Dream had a crush on her, but just cute. Rarity was interesting. She liked fashion and being proper. Something Dream could understand. Thought sometimes she was overboard. Spike was pretty funny, he liked the little dragon. Starlight was pretty nice. She had a lot of talent and a good teacher. Blade was odd at times. No one really knew a whole lot about him. Except that he was weird and liked to build things. Moon was different. He wasn't like the others. He seemed darker, more of a rebel. Not in a bad way though. He just wasn't all happy and singy like say, Pinkie Pie.

Dream sighed and looked at the floor. His tour of Ponyville was over when Rainbow and Blade got into an argument over... Something. He wasn't really sure. He didn't really care either. Idiots. It was really obvious Blade had feelings for her.

He was about to get up and leave when all of a sudden some rocks appeared in front of him on the table. They were brought in a magical aura that lasted a few seconds. " What the-?"

He quickly looked around the room for someone he didn't see. There was no one around. He turned his attention back tot he rocks. He picked one up in his hoof and looked at it. There was something off about it, like it wasn't one hundred percent a rock. He needed tools to properly examine the rocks, and there was one stallion that had those tools. Dream sighed. He really didn't want to see him again. But if either, Starlight, Moon or Twilight magically teleported them to the castle, that means they're probably important.

He quickly put the rocks in an envelope and started to walk out of the castle.

A blue pegasus landed in front of him. " Hey Dream."

" Rainbow." Dream said. He walked past her and out the door.

" Where are you going?" Rainbow called after him. She spun around and hovered in the air above him.

" I'm going to find Blade. You want to come?" Dream replied. He could have sworn he saw a glint of happiness in her eyes. She immediately played it cool.

Rainbow gave him a raspberry and floated on her back. " I guess... Though don't tell anyone, I don't people to know I hang out with a nerd."

" Yeah..." Dream said. He put the envelope on his back and hovered in the air beside her.

" So... Where does he live?"

" In a tent on the outskirts of Ponyville."

Rainbow went wide eyed with confusion. " Really?"

" Yep."

" Huh, that's not very surprising." Rainbow said. " Anyways, lead the way."

Dream nodded, and the two of them flew off towards the outskirts of Ponyville.


Moon was led to a hut carved out of a tree. He stopped to look at it for a minute. How long did it take for some pony to do all that work? He noticed Zecora was already in her little house. Moon quickly ran inside as inside was not what Moon was expecting. He was expecting a plain and simple house with furniture. Instead he got weird masks on the walls, paint marks, and little gems everywhere. In the centre of the room was a giant pot. The pot was steaming and whatever was inside was bubbling.

" You make your own potions?" Moon asked.

Zecora nodded. She walked over and reached under her little bed. She pulled out a box. " That is not what this is about. What's in this box will help you out."

" 'Kay." Moon said and looked at her.

" Fractured Heart stole something of mine, and now he has crossed the line." Zecora said. She opened the box and immediately a bright light shone out. Moon covered his eyes with a hoof. When the light settled down Moon looked into the box. He was speechless. It was a gem. Just like the ones Fractured Heart had, except this one was yellow. It was glowing faintly in the box.

" There's another one?" Moon asked.

" There was always three magic gems, one green, one blue, and one yellow. With the help of this gem, you can make Fractured Heart a sorry fellow." Zecora said.

Moon didn't know what to do. After all this time there was a third magic gem, and Zecora had it. He slowly reached his hoof out an touched it. He screamed out in pain as soon as his hoof made contact with it.


Hey guys! Sorry about the really, really, really looooooong wait. I've been busy with school and family and friends and other things. I'm going to try my best to set aside more time to finish writing this story. I hope you guys are enjoying it.

Next chapter will contain more action and excitement. I just decided to leave you guys on a bit of a cliffhanger. You questions will be answered in the next chapter. Don't worry. :)

Well, thanks for reading! Have a good day.
