A/N: Hello World! I have finally arrived with the latest chapter of the story! I know this is long overdue, and chances are, the next one is going to be equally far away, so, yeah. I don't think too many people read this fic anyway so, yeah. Leave a review, and just for the heck of it, if you guys think you have an OC that has what it takes to survive in my fic, send a PM or leave a review. Other than the standard descriptions, quirks, and all that, I'll need to if she/he is an escapee or not, and if she/he is, give me a rundown of their mental state. That's all for now! All that's left is for you to actually read the chapter! You know, assuming you read all this.

I had gotten to the center of the Ponyville market and was simply sitting on a bench enjoying the scenery when three young foals came up to me, one of them a pegasus with an orange coat and a purple mane that seemed to be styled to make it look as though she had just woken up, one of them a unicorn that strongly resembled a marshmallow, with her white coat, and poofy purple mane, the last one of them was an Earth Pony with a pale yellow coat, a red mane, and a bow in her hair. The three of them stared at me with a curiosity that made my ears hurt. They stared at me, and I stared right back at them with an even expression. Finally the orange one asked, "Who in the world are you?"

I opened my mouth to reply, but the pale yellow Earth Pony immediately asked, "Are you some kind of royalty, you know, because you're an Alicorn?"

I had already realized what was going on, and didn't bother to open my mouth this time as the Unicorn asked, "Are you related to Princess Celestia, or Princess Luna?"

I opened my mouth again and answered, "My name is Ehos Thorivos, I am not royalty in this land, and I am not on the family of tree of either Celly, or Luna."

The three foals gaped at me and said simultaneously (I swear their minds must be linked), "YOU JUST CALLED PRINCESS CELESTIA, CELLY!"

I rubbed my ears and responded with a disinterested voice, "And?"

The orange said, "But that's super rude! I'm pretty sure only Princess Luna can call her that, and that's because she's her sister!"

I sighed and stood up saying, "You never asked whether or not, I knew either of them, and now that you are going to ask, the answer is, yes, quite well. I am going to leave now, good day."

With that I calmly stood up, and unfurled my wings, flying away at a nice pace. It had been a while since I had gone flying for pleasure (at least 300 hundred years) so I decided to do just that as I read one of the 133 books that I had stored in an extra-dimensional space from Ms. Sparkle's library. 48 minutes and 12 seconds later I heard a disturbance in the air 57 feet in front of me. It sounded like a Pegasus flying at high speeds, and was heading for me, I waited until it was 3 feet from me, and then deftly looped over whoever it had happened to be, all the while, while reading my book. I heard a raspy voice call out at me, "Hey Bub! What you did to Twilight back there was low and dirty!"

I lowered my book, and turned around to see a cyan mare with a multi-colored mane in front of me I looked at her with bored look and said, "Do I know you?"

The mare faltered and said, "Well, we haven't actually met yet, but you SHOULD know me! I'm the fastest mare in all of equestria!"

My voice remained even as I said, "You are neither Celestia, Luna, Shieksy, Dynamo Rage, Tahitita, Myself, or numerous others I am not willing to elaborate on."

This seemed to enrage the mare even more seeing as how I'm sure she didn't recognize a one of those names, but she then realized I had included myself in the list and grinned at me confidently saying, "You think you're faster than me then?!"

I was really, not interested in this conversation so I said, "No, I know I am faster than you. There is exactly a point fifty-four chance of you being faster than me."

The mare snorted and said, "Prove it then! Lets have a race! From here to Ponyville and back!"

She started doing some warm ups, which wouldn't really do much, seeing as she was already flying, as I said, "No. I simply want to read my book."

She froze in mid-air (Wings too, she's very lucky I graciously kept her afloat) before yelling, "WHAT?! How can you just say not to race?!"

I turned to the next page in my book and said, "By saying, no, if you mean my reasons why, it's because I already know what the result would be, and I have something far more interesting to do."

"And what's that?"

I moved the book in front of her face, "Finding out what kind of magic you ponies have invented the last few centuries."

She looked at me dumb-founded and yelled, "BOoooooorrrriinngggg!"

I shrugged and moved the book back over to me and started to lazily fly away. I then heard the annoying pony's voice call out once again, "WAIT! What if we raise the stakes? You like that book type of stuff right? Well I can get you access to the royal library which has way more book type stuff than wherever you're getting your books from!"

I paused and thought about it, and then shook my head, "I don't overly want to risk a run in with Celly or Luna just yet."

Rainbow Dash just hovered in the air as I flew away. I turned the page in my book again, paying rapt attention to a detailed description of some very advanced telekinesis.

I had just finished the book, the last chapter had some very good explanations of how to augment matter. Nothing I didn't really know, but it's good to brush up on old subjects. I looked up to see Celly's sun starting it's long descent downward. I sat still. Celly knew of my escape, but she hasn't really heard from me yet. I smiled as I thought of a really good trick to play on her. I closed my eyes and began to listen. I heard the normal sounds of ponies walking, leaves rustling, the sun crackling and burning, I didn't go deeper, but I went farther, I expanded my hearing limits from what I was able to have them capped at normally. I let them expand until they reached Canterlot, it was very hard to discern it from all of the other many, many, many, many, noises, but I've had centuries of practice and I was then able to hear Celly's breathing. I smiled and my horn lit up as I concentrated.

Princess Celestia had just finished making sure that the sun was still descending when she heard something, "LLLLiiiisssstttteeeeennnnnn," she gasped! Suddenly she could hear so many things, she could hear Luna eating an apple in her room, she could hear a mother bird scold a child, an ant drop a piece of food, a chicken's bone get destroyed as a timber wolf's teeth crunched into it, blades of grass rustle in the almost nonexistent wind, the wind whistle through the dusk air, a window sill creak as the whistling wind pushed it ever so slightly, so so so, SO, many things! She dropped to the floor and put her hooves over her ears, and screamed. It was too much for the Solar Princess of many millennia. She was overcome, she had never experienced this, it was ongoing, all at once, each individual noise vying to make itself known and present, jostling with all of the other tiny unheard noises. It was painful, she couldn't think, she couldn't act, she was only able to, listen, and then, just as suddenly as it had started, it stopped. No, that was wrong, it hadn't stopped, it had subsided, she could still hear all of those noises, but they were no longer making themselves known, they were like whispers, she knew if she tried she could make them louder, but she did not want that. Not if she wished to keep her sanity. Sanity, noises, she gasped, this couldn't be what- no she would find the true cause of this in the morning, maybe Discord had been able to do something, or maybe she had some very latent magic just starting to activate, but it couldn't be, it couldn't be- she squashed the thought. She wouldn't let her mind wander that path.

I grinned, I'm sure Celly would enjoy the gift to it's fullest. I don't know if she can figure out if it was me who did it, and I don't want to listen and find out, it would ruin the surprise.

I go up and looked around me, it was getting late. There weren't many ponies left wandering about. I did not know whether or not Ms. Octavia or if Ms. Scratch would let me stay at there abode again. There was a fair amount of space just at the edge of the town that nobody was using. Would anybody question it if another house popped up? If I made it blend in, then probably not, but if I made myself a house I would live in? Oh yes, there would be many questions. However I didn't overly care, who would dare try and enter the house of one such as myself? Someone who is as eccentric as myself.

My horn was already starting to glow as I walked to the edge of the town, by the time I had reached my destination my horn acquired three more over-glows. I released the spell and my house appeared with a quiet pop. Oh sure, I could've made it appear in fire, or with a loud thunderclap, or have it teleport in slowly, but that just isn't right. No need to do that if it is well within my abilities to make my house travel through time and to this spot if I can do it quietly. I did not make a copy of my house, this is literally the house I lived in all those years ago. I could've made a copy, but that wouldn't be the same. Well, a copy is the same, but it wouldn't be perfect. . . . Unless I made it perfect, but then- I'm going to stop this train of thought before I actually do go insane.

I sighed and walked into my house, a small smile adorning my features as I heard almost nothing. My house used a mixture of magic and technology to have it almost completely sound proof. I may be used to all of that noise, but a little reprieve was welcomed on occasion. I went up the cushioned stairs that led to my bedroom and saw my beautiful cot. I don't sleep much period, but when I have, I've never been able to do it on a bed, to many springs, and hairs shifting around, but a cot, a nice firm cot, thats suits me perfectly.

I lay down on the cot and closed my eyes, and for the first time in a while, I heard almost nothing, I didn't hear the crickets, I didn't hear foot steps, I could only hear the bodily sounds of my own body. There was a complete lack of insanity, just order and quiet. AND GOD IT WAS BORING! Now I remember why I don't sleep much!

I got out of bed and went outside to see what fun I could find.
