A.N I realized that I haven't described how shadow looks so this chapter will explain that while also continuing the story so I hope you enjoy. Also I am planning to include music into the story so I have plans. Anyways, enjoy

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP.

Waking up at 6 in the morning is nothing to me. Waking up in a place I've never been to before is nothing to me. Waking up with this big of a room is a change I am going to have to get used to.

I checked the clock, 6am, perfect.

Getting out of bed I changed the alarm to 630, and went to the space in front of the bed and started meditating.

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

I looked at the alarm clock. 630. I used my magic to grasp my sword in a red aura and moved it towards myself. Closing my natural red eyes, I started to practice sword techniques.

1 hour later

After practicing every technique known to ponykind I look at the clock, it said 730.

I should go see Luna wrote to me yet. I thought to myself.

Checking the book the princess gave me I opened it to the latest page and sure enough the princess wrote to me.

Dear Shadow,

Considering on how you didn't write to me I assume you have found a place to live. I wish to send you a package but I need to know where to send it to. I know you will need this package. It will contain 5000 bits if needed I can send more but I won't send you bits every week.

Sincerely, Princess Luna

5000 bits, that's more than I need better reply to her

Dear princess Luna

I thank your generous gift. I am living with twilight's friend Rarity at the Caracul Boutique. Send the package there and I will receive it

Sincerely Shadow

Still, 5000 bits. Well with that settled I will be reviving a package soon.

Exploring her house a bit I found a couch to sit on while I waited for the package.

"Oh, good morning shadow." I heard rarity's voice.

"Good morning." I replied

"Have you heard the ponyvile bank was robed?"

"What, when."

"Last night around midnight, about 5000 bits were stolen."

"Who would steal from the bank, isn't well secured?"

"That's what I thought myself; whoever did it must be good at sneaking into places."

Knock knock knock

"Who could be here at this hour?''

"Don't worry about it rarity, I will get it."

"Ok"

I opened the door to see a grey Pegasus with odd eyes.

"I have a package for a shadow seeker." She said

"That's me"

I just need you to sign this" she said while holding out a piece of paper stating that you got the package.

"Thank you mam." I said after signing it. She handed me the package and flew off to deliver the rest of her mail.

"What's in the box?" rarity questioned

"It should be bits."

"Really, who would send you some bits?"

"Luna did." I replied to her. "Is there a place her in town where I can purchase musical instrument?"

"There is actually. Just outside it's the first building on the right."

"Thank you, I will be back shortly."

"Ok than"

The store had everything, from guitars to harps. The guitar that caught my eye was a flying V guitar that was black and had a red outline. The price was 200 bits. I looked around for an amp, I found on for 100 bits. The rest of the necessities came to a total of 200 bits. Using my magic I picked up the objects and went to the pony selling them and paid 500 bits. After that I returned to rarity's place.

The room was now filled up some more, with me outing the guitar and amp on the right side of the room leaving me enough room to practice both guitar and the sword techniques.

"After reading the first chapter of the how to play guitar book I had, I went out to speak with rarity.

When I found her she was looking around for something.

"Oh, Shadow have you seen my cat Opalescence?"

"Last I saw your cat was on the couch."

"Ok thank you." She replied "twilight wants to see us soon though so as soon as I find opal we will leave ok?"

"Sounds good to me."

"There you two are, I think I know who stole the bits" my sister nearly shouted while giving me a dirty look. "Witnesses report a black pony entering the bank around midnight. And I looked; there is no pony here in ponyvile that has a black coat, except for one." She continued while looking at me.

"Just because I snuck up on you doesn't mean that I stole those bits. Around midnight I was sleeping. There is no widow in the room that I can fit through." I defined my self

"And I keep the doors locked, there's no way he did it" rarity also defended me.

"Plus there were no witnesses and even if there was its easy to mistake any pony's coat for black in low light areas."

"What if we searched your room to see if you're hiding the bits?"

"Before you do, I had 5000 bits, I got them from Princess Luna and I got them this morning."

"It's true you don't have to search the building, he didn't do it."

"Fine, I guess this was some other pony, that's not the only thing though. I heard something last night while I was going for a walk. Is it true that you know sunset shimmer?" twilight questioned.

"Yes, she was the pony that I lived with on the streets of canterlot."

"So you and her both had no families?"

"We had families, hers diapered, and mine abandoned me when I started reading sword books and stealth books, shining barley knew me because I hardly talked to him."

"Well he sent me a letter today saying that he is going to get here later then he thought."

"I think that it's better if I don't see him anyways." I replied. "I would love to continue this conversation but, I have something's I need to take care of"

"Ok but before you go, would you like know where your friend?"
"Some other day I got some things to do. I will see you later today though"

And with that I was gone. I really did have something to do, I had to get something for my brother to help break some peace between us the last time we were in that same room we has a pretty big fight that led to us hating each other.

The place I went to was called sugarcube corner. It was there I relied that the pony there, pinkie pie was hiding something. I knew she wasn't going to tell me so I used my magic to read her mind. Among all of the random thoughts was on thought that she knew, it was a surprise for twilight. My older brother Shining Armor and his wife Princess Cadence were going to have a baby. I relied that this would be the best chance to reveal myself to my brother. I also knew exactly what to give him.

A.N there we go, shadow knows pinkies secret, will he be able to make amends with his brother only I know. Anyways I do need 3 OCs for shadow to befriend send me the basics at first, name, gender, race, colors, talents, personality. I need those put them in reviews or pm me and I will add the more advanced stuff later when I have basics for them. Send them in, and as a bonus when I start adding songs in here I will have a sort of competition if you can guess the band, song, album it was on and the year. I will also take suggestions for songs to include. The people who comment right with songs will be mentioned in the story unless I have an oc for those people. Send e OCS and I will be able to put you in the story. First song though:

"I'm waking up, to ash and dust, I wipe my brow and sweat my rust, I'm breathing in the chemicals, I'm breaking in shaping up, then checking out in the prison bus, this is it the apocalypse."

Guess the song name, band, album, and the year, first few comments/reviews right get a cameo in the story.
