With very little will power put into my motion I suddenly found the both of us tumbling through a large space like area, there were millions upon millions of stars hanging around us, some even floated by. Some were black, some were blue, others were white, red, orange, and yellow... A few were even green. There were even a few that were a rainbow of colors swirling about in a vortex... It all intrigued me to no end and was something I would have studied for days If Luna had not grabbed the hem of my cloak and dragged me off in the direction of a white and black bubble.

As we got closer to it I could almost make out some of the things happening inside the dream itself... They weren't pretty... Gryphons were attacking his family, they had already killed his brothers and one of his sisters... His mom had died protecting the younger brothers with her life, only falling when she was stabbed multiple times in the barrel... the blades piercing her heart. He heard his youngest siblings cry as he was ripped apart in the other room... And that's when the Gryphons busted down his bedroom door and started attacking him, his father then rushed in after them and started killing them, busting beaks into skulls and crushing their weaker frames with his heavy hoof falls.

Luna and I then appeared right next to the stallion, right as he kicked a Gryphon with both his hind legs, sending it flying into the far wall with a sickening thud. I whirled around and planted my right foot in another Gryphons back, snapping like a twig before breaking its neck. Both the stallion and the boy looked at us in shock at our sudden appearances.

"We art here to help!" I cried out as I punched another Gryphon in the face before latching onto its right leg with my left hand and swinging it around and into one of its fellows. Luna delivered a swift uppercut to another Gryphon and sent it sprawling on the floor, dead or unconscious I couldn't tell.

The stallion gave me a slight nod as I stood next to him and beat several other Gryphons down as they got close. Luna made her way towards the back while the stallion and I fought the encroaching horde. I landed a punch to a Gryphons beak, cracking it and sending it stumbling back before it came right back at me, claws getting ready to gut me. I then lashed out with my right leg and sent it sprawling with a roundhouse to the ribs.

The stallion clobbered another two Gryphons with his heavy hoofed blows, sending them tumbling down like a sack of potatoes. A Gryphon tried to sink its claws into his hindquarters when I grabbed its arms and flung it into a gaggle of its fellows, sending them sprawling to the ground in a mess of limbs. The stallion then dived behind me and buried his front hooves in the faces of two Gryphons that had tried to flank me.

Being in a dream seemed to negate my sense of force danger... Rendering my precognition useless, seeing as I was not in danger from these dreams anyway. The stallion and I were still beating away at the Gryphons when I noticed why they didn't seem to stop coming. The damned bastards would hit the ground and then get right back up no lees than a few seconds later and charge right back into the fray! All I could think at the moment was that Luna would get to the young boy soon and end this nightmare.

I leapt over the stallion and tackled two Gryphons to the ground before picking them up by their throats and chucking them, one right after the other, at their friends, making them act like bowling balls. The stallion then jumped behind me and head butted a Gryphon to the ground, where I then soccer kicked it all the way through the door...

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!" Several Gryphons on either side of the door held up giant white cards with numbers on them... Three '10's and one 4 could be seen on their cards going left to right... I just looked at the one on the end with the four, giving him a scowl. The other three saw my look and looked at the cards and saw why. They all then jumped him and proceeded to beat the forever living crap out of him!

Having a SLIGHT twitch at the dream antics I shook my head and went back to beating the tar out of any Gryphon that got within arms reach of me, or leg... Depending on my mood. I then leaped over backwards and released a force push in a wide arc against the Gryphons, sending them all back while I and the stallion regrouped. I picked up a large piece of timber and prepared to use it as a bat, just while the stallion picked up his own in his moth and dug his into it for a greater grip.

As we were about to launch into a new bout of Gryphon Ass kicking... The world went white...

Perspective change: Luna

Several minutes earlier

I raced along the path of broken chairs and tables, wondering where all this trash came from... and then scolding myself for thinking of rationalization in a dream... Anything is possible in a dream! Jumping and leaping over various debris I finally made it to the end of the room, what awaited me was a n overturned table and a gaggle of broken chairs. flipping them over and dumping the chairs onto the floor I found what Corpus and I had come looking for, Magus. He was laying on the ground with several cuts and lacerations covering his body. He screamed in surprise and shuffled up against the wall, away from me.

"Magus, Tis us, Princess Luna... We art here to save thee! Just come with us and we shalt be able to free thee of this desolate place." I Told him reassuringly as I got down on the floor in front of him. I leveled my eyes at him and gazed into his deep Golden eyes. "We are here to Protect thee... If thou comes with us we shalt be able to leave this place..." I said as soft as a coo from a mothers lips. The colt then Nodded slowly and struggled to get up off the floor.

Seeing this I enveloped him in my magic and slow, and quite gently, placed him on my back. He then snuggled into my back and sighed out a thanks. Feeling him wrap his arms around my neck I got up of the floor and started at a slow trot towards our friends.

"Thanks... be to thee, Princess..." The colt said as I felt tears fall onto my neck and stain my coat. I soon began to gallop with the child on my back, vaulting over taller obstacles and bodies as we went. We soon arrived upon the scene of the child's father and Corpus readying for another charge.

"Magus... We need thou to do something for us..." I called softly to the young colt on my back.

"Yeas Princess?" He said with a slight whimper.

"We need thee to think of a peaceful place... Somewhere where thou art always smiling and free of the worlds matters..." I spoke softly into his ear as I kept one eye on the two stallions to my left.

"I'll try Princess..." He said as his face scrunched up. "I can't Princess..." He cried out.\

"Just Try Magus... We believe in thou..." I cooed, making his ear twitch softly.

"Al-Alright, I'll try again Princess!" I said with determination, his face then scrunched up again and the entire scene around us, that only I could see, began to fade... until there was a bright flash and we were no longer where we were.

Perspective change: Darth Corpus

Present time in the dream world

Presently there was a large vista rolling out before us. Small rolling hills that hid a winding stream and a small meadow off to the side that was partially surrounded by a large grave of trees. Large, billowing, puffy, white clouds rolled lazily across the sky, the sun's rays beaming down through the clouds, arraying the land in bright patches. The three of us were standing atop a grassy knoll, the shadows of the clouds rolling across our faces as we regained our senses.

Luna regained her senses first and slowly lowered herself to the ground, the sounds of a sobbing child filling the serene silence of the meadow. She gently grabbed the colt by the scruff of his neck in between her teeth and gently lowered him to the ground. upon hitting the dirt he crumpled over and cried openly; all his fear, anger, hate, lose, and innocence, it all came pouring out of him in a torrent. Luna, knowing how he was feeling since facing discord with her sister, rested one of her great wings across his shoulders and back and brought him closer to her body, where she then nuzzled him and whispered words of sorrow to him; telling him that he was not alone in his lose and how she knew all too well how he felt.

At her words I gave her a curious glance and filled away that last bit for a later, much MUCH later, conversation. During their heart-felt moment I came over and knelt next to them and brought them into a hug of my own, dragging the colt up from the ground and into my right arm while my left hung loosely around Luna's neck. The colt then began to cry, unperturbed, into my shoulder as he threw his fore legs around me neck and shoulder and squeezing tightly. During all this I could not see that luna herself was blushing madly from our close proximity, Well she thinks I didn't notice but at the time I just passed it off as the after effects of a good cry.

"Magus... We have felt what you feel now... You may come and ask either of us anything you want while in our care... For none should have to see their own parents die before them..." I Brought my hand up and cupped the back of his head comfortingly, bringing him in against my chest and shoulder reassuringly. The young boy simply nodded his head into my shoulder and kept crying for the next hour or so, dream time anyway, In this time Luna had broken away from me and had decided to walk around a little, exploring the childs dream world while I consoled him.

"...Thank... You... Mister..." Magus whispered out in between sobs, to my utter surprise. I then hugged him tight once again, showing him that I had indeed heard his words.

"It is no trouble... No trouble at all..." I sighed out, feeling melancholic at the childs utterly destroyed state of being. After another few minutes Luna returned from her little expedition and almost immediately magus' cries ended. Both Luna and I looked to each other in confusion before the world went white and we were thrown out of his mind.

Time: Present

Location: The Waking World

I jerked awake and found myself once again in my hospital wardrobe and sitting upon my hospital bed, also feeling a little stiff. I quickly looked around the room and found that Luna was in a similar state of disorientation and was trying to get to her hooves. I then heard a long sob and quickly snapped my attention over to Magus. Upon locking eyes with him i saw that he was quietly crying, and had looked like he had been crying for well over a few hours. I then did what any sensible parent would do... I reached over and picked him up and brought him to my chest, letting him bury his head in the crook of my neck and wrap his legs around my neck. To any that would have just glanced at the scene would have thought it endearing... But to those of us in the room it was sad and heart breaking in almost every sense.

The little kid simply bawled his eyes out into my neck, asking if all that had happened was true, to which I gave a small whisper of a 'yes' as a reply, to which he cried even more. This went on for about five minutes before Luna and I heard a faint gasp come from the door way. There stood the regal form of Celestia, her mouth hanging in a slight 'O' shape as she looked upon the depressed beings occupying the room.

"What dost thou need Princess..." I asked in a quipped tone, making both Luna nad Celestia flinch slightly from the underlying hostility, granted my face was like one set in stone, my flat expression would have given even a Jedi a run for their money.

"Thy garments are ready for thee Lord Corpus... And please, a friend of Luna's is a friend of ours... So Celestia is just fine.." Celestia said rather awkwardly, to which I simply nodded.

"Then we thank thee, Celestia, for thy hospitality and thy generosity... It becomes such, that a ruler would be able to offer such to a stranger." I said with a hint of a smile cracking my stone like visage. "And if thee are bequeathing such an honor to us than we shalt give thee one as well... We art longer naught a lord or king, so thee art naught to call us such, Corpus, is fine enough..." Celestia nodded her thanks and floated over a large bundle of white and blue clothing. Keeping my arms snugly wrapped around the still grieving colt I caught the garments in my telekinesis, making Celestia gape slightly, and brought them to a gently stop on the foot of my bed.

"Thank thee Celestia... Now, We must go back to our grieving colt here... He has-" I would have continued but a loud snore interrupted my train of thought, leaving me to look down at the child clutched in my arms. Looking him over I found that he had fallen asleep, and looked to be dreaming soundly. I smiled softly before shifting my position and setting him down on the bed covers, forming a small cocoon around his body with the covers as I got up out of bed.

"Um... Corpus..." I heard a rather flustered Celestia cough out, which in turn made me flip around, my hands flying to my bum expectantly. With my quick motion the improvised patient's gown that had been tied around my neck and waist shifted to the side and gladly displayed my manhood to all those there to see. I went completely red in the face just as both Princesses went bug-eyed and agape, blushes of their own lighting up their own features like star. Upon closer look though one could have proclaimed that Luna's blush was far deeper, and far brighter than her white furred sisters; whom of which showed such things far more easily.

"Oh... So THAT'S why thou where's cloths... We see... A lot..." Celestia blurted out, while Luna in fact thought the same... though didn't bother in vocalizing her thoughts on the matter. "It's so... Big..."

"Alright, BOTH of thee can leave! We need to get dressed! Shoo both of ya!" I quickly pulled myself together and covered my manhood while shooing the Princesses out of my room. They both quickly left, Luna shooting me one last hopeful glance before bolting out the door. I then threw the dead bolt and placed a chair under the door knob, sealing my self in and away from the Princesses.

"Well... That could have gon better... Or it could have gone a HELL of a lot worse..." I said to myself as I went over and picked up my new cloths. The pants were a soft blue color with an embroidered moon and sun yin-yang sign portrayed proudly on both hips with a golden pinstripe embroidered down each side for the seams. the shirt was a normal white, loose-fitting, fleece shirt one would normally find in a reenactment. The neck was somewhat frilly, as was the cuffs around my hands, the entire ensemble was brought together with a black sash like belt that had a red band around the middle of it sown right in.

"Well, at least its stylish... Kinda" I laughed to myself and started throwing on my new garments, using half of the gown I was wearing as a new set of underwear.

Several Minutes Later

"Alright, The two of thee may come in..." I said with a slightly husky tone, making both Princesses blush up a storm as they walked in, only to see me laying on my side on the bed. spread out like one of those guys on the cover of play girl... Or whatever the frack it is... Eh fuck-ti. Both mares looked at me in varying stages of incredulity, both ending with a slight deadpan stare with their cheeks still lit up like a firestorm.

"Hardy-Har-Har... Now what dost thou need Corpus..." Luna said flatly, making me stare at her blankly.

"Well, we need thy sister here to stay and watch over thy subject... While the two of us go and retrieve our ship and other equipment." This piqued Celestia's interest as she walked farther into the room, standing a few paces away as i got up off the bed.

"What dost thou mean, ship? We thought thou had been brought her by unknown means..." Celestia asked, slightly weary now.

"Well, tis slightly true... We dost know naught how we came to be HERE on this planet... But we dost know how we got HERE, to this universe..." I quipped, making Celestia groan in anoyance. "We used a Delta 7 Jedi Starfighter that We had aqcuired from an abandoned Venator Class Star-Destroyer... We had used a very powerful ability during our last engagement agaisnt the GA that had ripped a Wormhole in space and sucked up the remnants of the GA fleets, destroying them... We had then flown intot the 'EYE' per say and then ended up here... Though the last part was done in chance that We might end our continued existance, BUT thankfully We ended up here and have found new reasons to live and continue living for the next few centuries anyhow." I said quite cheekily, making Luna blush and Celestia look at us with suspicous eyes. Though I had only done such to get Luna under Celestia's radar persay.

"WE... See... Very well then, we shalt watch over the young one while thou goes and retrieves thy things... All we ask is that thou come back shortly... And safely." Celestia said as I slipped on my combat boots, they had thankfully left those at the end of my bed... Though I had only seen them once I had walked around for a few minutes.

"Very well... Mother!" I chortalled, Celestia gave me an odd look before puffng up her cheeks and walking over to the bed and sitting down on her haunches. Luna gave a quiet giggle as i made my way towards the door, waving dismissivly at the white furred Alicorn behind me.

"So... How art we able to locate thy ship, Dearest Corpus?" Luna inquired as we made our treck through the halls of Ivory City and onwards towards the frotn gates.

"Well, We have spent so long with the ship and with our friend in it that We would be remis if we could not find it... Besides it being the only sorce of power in a jungle the size of a large town..." I said jokingly, earning a small 'harumgh' from Luna which only fuled my laghter. Luna then soon joined me in my mirth, seeing as it was helopiong relive the stressful situation we had placed ourselves in not to long ago... Our laughter could be heard echoing about the castle, bringing a slight smile to those that had seen the meloncholy expression of Princess Luna not more than a month ago...
