Sarg along with Antares were walking down a dark corridor Antares hadn't seen before. The two didn't say a word since they came down from the balcony, there was an awkward silence between the two until they reached a black and red door decorated with several stars.

Sarg took a key out of a crack in the wall, he glanced at Antares before unlocking the door.''After you.'' he said gesturing his hooves to the room. Antares went inside, the room was surprisingly small with little to no decorations except for a bed, table, a shelf and two chairs. He decided to explore the room a little bit more he was going to reach for a book that was near the shelf when the sound of the door closing stopped him.

''Please sit down.'' Sarg said

Antares obeyed and sat in the old wooden chair across from Sarg, the two stared each other down before Sarg spoke.

''You're not in trouble Antares so, please calm down.

Antares sighed.''I mean you did bring me into a pretty creepy room without saying anything so I mean.''

Sarg took a second and looked around the room.''Yea, I told him this room was extremely creepy, but he insisted there was no need to change it.''

Antares still confused raised an eyebrow.

''I'm referring to your dad.'' he uttered.

Antares surprisingly didn't seem all too surprised, the little times he would talk about him he would look down at the ground most of the time.

''Is that what you wanted to talk to me about, or about princess Luna's relationship to him?''

Sarg shifted his posture.''More or less, look I know I've kept you in the shadows but since you've been recently digging about Discord, I think it's time I told you a little story so listen close.''

Antares nodded.

''Ok I'll try not to bombard you with too much information. And to answer your question, he was the closest thing she had to a father.''

''I didnt ask that.''

Sarg chuckled before he got up to grab something from a drawer next to Antares. Sarg went back to his seat, his eyes fixed on the paper.

''Sure you didn't. Now this all happened over a thousand years ago when I was around your age.''


Night had already started and everyone was on their way to sleep including two alicorn sisters. Celestia and Luna were in the throne room about to go to sleep when Sarg came in the room looking rather exhausted. Luna immediately stood up.

''How did it go?'' She asked nervously

Sarg rubbed the back of his head.''Ok to say the least.''

Celestia got up from her chair.''How much did you tell him?''

''Well I told him from my point of view .''

Celestia nodded.''That's fine Sirius, where is he now?''

''He said he needed to get some air.'' Sarg paused and thought back to the moment more carefully.'' He said something about going away for the night or something.

Luna joined in.''If you want I can keep an eye on him.''

Sarg nodded.''Please do, but most importantly make sure he comes back, if not then go see where he went.''

Luna stopped him by putting a hoof in front.''Of course my friend, after all, it is now my duty as the princess of the night.''

Sarg sighed.''Thanks, Luna I'm going to .''

Celestia got up and walked towards the garden, she needed to catch some air as well.''I'm going to the garden, see you in the morning Sirius.''

''Yeah I'm going to sleep, good night to you too.'' He said as she exited out of the room.

He turned to see the night sky as a smile grew on his face, the night sky looked clearer without the shape of a mare engraved into the moon.

''Ahh, making me feel like I'm thirty again.'' He took out a picture he got in Kerberos room showing two Stallions along with two alicorns and one Draconequus, smiling.

Sarg sighed.''Well, they weren't all bad.''


Somewhere 40 miles from Equestria

Antares was going through the sky contemplating on life. He didn't know where he was going, all he wanted was to not care about anything for a few minutes and just, think. Mainly about his dad, he still needed to wrap his head around the whole story as it was a hard one to swallow. Fully understanding it was going to take time parts of it could also be wrong as it was only what Sarg heard and saw. To find out he would have to talk to Celestia, he doubted she would say anything. Luna maybe, Antares hasn't even been properly introduced to her yet. From what he heard she sounded like fun. Antares mind jumped to another thought this time about his mother, what could she be doing? She was by far the pony who Antares loved the most. She took care of him when she could have taken him to Ponyville for adoption or left him there on the ground.

That memory of him running away from what he called home was still very much vivid, every time he would think about it his wing would shift uncomfortably. Antares was going to stop for a break but he noticed something about where he was.

All you could see was sand and a mountain in the distance. Antares decided to walk so he can rest his wings. He landed swiftly and immediately stretched his wings with a crack of the joints. Trotting along here didn't seem bad as the ground was rather soft. He continued his path along the peaceful desert. The soft wind blew against his ears like a cold but satisfying hug. This was a good place to think, just as he was going to turn back to Canterlot when he saw a sign laying on the ground drowned in sand.

When he went to pick it up he immediately realized where he was.

''Welcome to Saturn Village.''

Antares sighed and was about to turn around when he heard a twig break. Antares turned around and without a second thought ran inside. He looked for the source of the sound. Along the way, he could see the destroyed building and several buildings filled with sand.

When he got to the end of the village where he saw something that made his throat swell up.

There lay a graveyard, he never recalled there having a graveyard. Antares made his way inside. It had to be new, the metal gate was only a little bit rusted. But who could have made it? It couldn't have been some random traveler who thought it would be a nice touch to add. Plus the graves were named. Antares knelt to read one of the graves.

''Ludlow Rose, beloved friend, and husband.''

Antares rubbed his head. He remembered the stallion. Ludows was the village gardener. Antares closed his eyes ajnd remembered him. He had the chubbiest cheeks it made you want to just squeeze them. Along with his positive attitude. It was virtually impossible to hate him. Antares placed a small kiss on the top of the stone grave.

He did this to every last grave, as he remembered every single soul that lived in this once beautiful village. Antares stopped, and stared at a grave labeled '' Kerberos Eclipse, beloved father, friend, and teacher. May he rest in peace.''

Antares felt his eyes itch, he knelt down and gave the grave a soft kiss, as well as a hug. Memories of his father, flooded his mind, as well as parts of Sarg's story with him in it. When he pulled away Antares noticed a small hole in the ground. When he went to take a peek he saw a coffin. Antares wanted to dig up the hole to see if Kerberos was really inside.

Antares felt it was best to leave it alone and just assume that he was inside. Antares slowly walked out of the cemetery. He still wondered where it came from, theories started forming in his mind. Some traveler that somehow was able to identify everyone that lived in the village? No, that's just stupid. It had to be someone that lived there before, someone that had relationships with them.

Antares eventually got out of the village. Antares looked back at the ghostly village. Why was he lead here, of all places he could have come across it had to be here. Antares pushed all of his thoughts out of his mind, he had to move on it was all in the past. Maybe that's why he was lead here by fate, to come to terms with his past. Antares sighed, he suddenly felt better, as if a great weight was lifted off his shoulders. He turned his head up tp look at the night sky. A beautiful full moon laid across the sky surrounded by stars. It gave Antares a warm felling in his body. A warm tear ran down his face as he looked down. He hadn't cried in a long time wether it was because of the sky or the memories of his past, it didn't matter. For the first time in a long time he felt at peace with himself and the world around him.

As Antares prepared to fly back to Equestria he spotted somepony in the distance. Antares started flying towards it to take a better look. As soon as the pony looked at him he started running the other way. Antares picked up speed to catch up to it, from the looks of it the pony was a earthpony stallion. He was fast as Antares was having trouble catching up to him.

He chased the earthpony for about half an hour until he stopped at a cliff side. Antares landed on the ground hard almost falling. It was still dark outside which made it hard for Antares to identify the stallion. What he did see is that he had a black hat with long brownish hair.

The two were staring at each other neither one saying or moving anything. Just as Antares was going to speak the stranger raised his hoof. Before Antares could react he threw a smoke bomb at Antares. Once Antares regained his vision the stallion was gone without a trace.

"That was weird."
