i slowly woke up to a blinding light. half of my vision was blurred but the other half was normal. i still felt an incredible pain over a great portion of my body and i grunted out in pain. it hurt to keep my eyes open so i closed them again. i could here faint voices but they sounded suppressed and strangely familiar. i slowly opened my eyes again and looked around at the white light which seemed less bright as my eyes adjusted. i could see that i wasn't even on the ground but i was floating.

i was floating in a ball of light inside of a hollowed out tree. there were bookshelves imprinted on all the walls and they were filled with books. i looked to my side slowly and saw three ponies. one of them was larger than the others two. a rainbow maned pegasus and a purple unicorn. they were sitting and talking to a large alicorn with flowing hair. she had pure white fur and golden armor. i knew them... but not their names.

the big alicorn is the princess of equestria. the purple unicorn is my best friend and the pegasus is... she's... dammit how do i know her. how can i forget about her. i know that we have a special relationship but i forget what it is. the princess looked up and saw i was conscious. she said something but it was muffled and i couldn't hear it. the other two ponies looked over and the white light holding me up seemed to break away and i fell to the ground. i hit the ground with a thud and my ears popped causing me to hear nothing but a high pitched ringing.

the two ponies ran over and flipped me over onto my back and sat over me. they were saying something but i was trying to fight to stay awake. i saw the princess slowly walk over and stand over me. i felt a pain in my stomach and curled up to try and help the pain but it didn't work too well. soon enough i could start to make sense of the ponies voices as the ringing slowly started to fade away and their voices came in clearer.

"crimson... crimson honey are you alright?" asked the rainbow maned pegasus.

"what?... ugh oh god my stomach." i said curling up a bit tighter.

"the wound looks really bad." said the unicorn.

"it's festering... he's lucky that you contacted me when you did... any longer and it would have taken his mind." said the princess. what were they talking about. the princess stepped in a bit closer and loomed over me with a worried face. "crimson... crimson do you know who i am?" she asked.

"uhgmmm... the uh... the princess." i said.

"no crimson... what is my name?" she asked.

"i... can't remember... i don't... oh god my head." my head started pounding the second i tried to remember her name.

"it's worse than i would have hoped." she said. i looked back and looked across the room. i turned my head and looked at the rainbow pegasus. i looked past her and saw that same shadow pony from before. he was smiling at me with his sharp fangs and creepy soulless eyes. the image of him instantly struck fear into my heart and i backed up as much as i could.

"no... get it away..." i said backing up. this caused the others to look over. i felt an overwhelming pain was over me and i started grunting in pain. the pegasus soon ran over and got on top of me trying to keep me still. her grasp was comforting but it didn't help much. i closed my eyes and shook my head and tried to make it go away and luckily it did. when i opened my eyes it was gone and i started calming down now.

"princess can you help him." asked the unicorn who was also trying to help me calm down. her grasp was also strangely comforting. the princess walked over and looked over me again with pity.

"i'm afraid he's already slipped into madness..." she said. "i'm afraid there is no easy cure..." she said. "i need to speak with him alone." said the princess.

"but... uh... alright..." said the unicorn. "c'mon dash lets go." she said to the pegasus... so her name was dash... i'm vaguely starting to recall that name but with little avail. they walked away and soon they left me and the princess alone in the room. she let out a sigh and sat down beside me.

"crimson are you sure you don't know my name?" she asked.

"no... i... it hurts to remember." i said holding my right eye which was burning up now.

"then there is little hope." she said to herself quietly. i still managed to pick it up though. "crimson i don't know if you will understand this but you need to fight it back... you need to be brave... and don't forget... always remember even when it hurts you must remember... or you will be lost to fear and darkness." she said. i didn't say anything i just laid there quivering in fear.

i kept my eyes darting around everywhere and needed to make sure that shadow creature wasn't anywhere close. i hate that thing... it scares the crap out of me. the princess let out another sigh and lowered her head down to me and looked me in the eye. i looked back into her eyes and i could see myself in them. it was like i was looking at myself through her point of view. i looked horrifying. i had a huge black and festering scar carved from the top to the bottom of the right side of my face. it cut down past my eye and it turned the whole eye black.

the veins connecting to the car ran black and pushed up against my skin and were visible past my fur. even the fur around my eye was turning black and ran around my eye like spikes and up to my hairline. it looked like there was some kind of sickening poison running through my body. as the princess pulled her head back i returned to my own point of view and looked around in shock for a second and she let out a sigh. i started feeling an incredible pain in my head and slowly fell back into darkness and passed out.

it wasn't long, however, until i awoken again. this time i was in a different place, it was a bedroom. it was a large room with an equally large bed that i was laid to rest in. the covers were pulled up tight up to my neck and my head rested gently on a soft pillow. i recognize this place but i can't put a name or location to it. before i could move i felt something brush up against me under the covers and it wasn't long until i noticed a head resting on the same pillow as mine.

it was the rainbow maned pegasus. she was sleeping next to me with her head tucked into my chest and her hooves wrapped around me comfortably. she looked peaceful while she was sleeping but the red rashes around her eyes suggested that she may have been crying recently. i felt bad for her, as i kept looking at her my head started to ache and burn. i fought against it and i could feel some kind of... relief.

i felt all my memories about her flood back into my head and soothe the pain in my mind. it felt almost orgasmic to have that kind of pressure just leave my mind but soon my moment of bliss was ruined when i looked over and spotted that sadistic, evil shadow pony sitting in the corner staring at me. i wanted to run away from it... but i needed to be brave like the princess said. i laid there and it just stared at me. i stared at it back but i soon lost our little contest and blinked. luckily after i blinked it was gone and i was alone now... well mostly alone.

i looked back down at rainbow dash... my wife. i knew who she was now... i remember everything about her. how we used to just be friends... our dates and our flirting. the marriage, our honeymoon, even our kids scootaloo and dawn. but unfortunately everything else was a blur. i can remember names but not faces and faces without names. its like i know everything i used to, but i can't put all the pieces together. like an unsolved puzzle... except i've got the rainbow dash part solved.

having my temporary piece of mind i grabbed dash by the waist and pulled her closer into me. i borrowed my head into the pillow so i could rest her head on my neck and i held her tightly as possible. this made her shake to life and look around but i just kept holding her. she pulled her head off my neck and rested her head back down on the pillow looking at me in confusion. i just smiled at her though.

"hello dashie..." i said. she smiled and lightened up a bit.

"you... you remember my name." she said excitedly.

"of course i do..." i replied. "i would never forget you..." i said hugging her. i looked past her and saw that it was only seven... that incident before must not have happened too long ago.

"oh thank celestia you're alright..." she said. "celestia said you're mind would be lost forever..." said dash pulling herself back so we could speak face to face.

"my mind isn't lost... but it is shattered completely..." i said... she seemed confused. "i managed to put some of the pieces together... i remember you..." i said giving her a kiss. "and the kids... i know all the names and faces... but i can't put them together... so i'll need you're help." i said smiling at her. she smiled back and pressed her forehead up against mine.

"well we need to get to work right away..."she said. "twilight is still having her party you know... that would be a good place to start."

"i know..." i said. "but i want to rest... my head really hurts."

"oh baby..." she said in a motherly voice. "let me make it better." she said giggling. she leaned over and gave me a big kiss on the head and smiled. "there... better?"

"haha... much better honey." i said smiling.

"good... you know... i know of something else that will make you feel better." said dash smiling and blushing too. before i could speak she pulled herself into me and planted a big kiss on my lips. i didn't argue and kissed her right back. i flipped over onto my back and held her on top of me. she pulled away from my lips and sat on top of me with a smile on her face.

"is this that something else you were talking about." i asked.

"mmhmm." she said biting her lips. she smiled and brought her hoof down to start massaging my cock. i let out a huff of pleasure and she leaned over and planted another big kiss on my lips. i kissed her back and held her tightly. she kept rubbing my cock until it was nice and hard . she pressed her pussy up against it and started rubbing herself with my shaft.

she smiled through our kiss and kept teasing herself with my cock. once she thought that it had been long enough she lifted up her hips and my cock stood straight up aligned with her pussy. she pressed her hips down and slowly push my way inside of herself. she reached all the way down and sat comfortably on my thighs. she pulled herself up and sat there blushing. when i opened my eyes to look at her i saw that shadow pony in the doorway. i was instantly stricken with fear and worry.

"what's wrong honey?" asked dash as the fear i was feeling was very noticeable by now. the shadow pony had fire in it's eyes and was bearing its fangs. it literally had fire in its eyes. it brought it's tentacles up and seemed to let out a high pitched scream that tore my eardrums in half... but dash didn't seem affected. i covered my ears in the hopes to make it stop... and somehow it helped... if i can block out it's sound... then there's no possible way this can just be in my head... which means this is something else.

"oh god... no make it stop." i said as the shrieking started to make my ears bleed. dash was now very concerned.

"crimson what's wrong?... crimson please." she said. but before i could say anything the shadow lashed out its tentacles... but not for what i thought. instead of slicing me and trying to kill me. they grabbed dashes arms which were holding me and pulled them back. she was thrust back and was now very confused and scared. "what... crimson help." she said. seeing dash in danger a fire burned inside of me and i flew forward and grabbed her. the shadow continued to pull her away but i kept hold of her. "crimson help..." she screamed.

"NO... you can't have her!" i yelled but the shadow pony started to scream louder... now dash could hear it and she covered her ears as much as she could. the screaming died down and dash could see the tentacles on her arms now. she looked back and her eyes narrowed when she saw the shadow.

"oh god what is that" she said. it bore its fangs again and growled. i held onto dash as best as i could and started using my wings to pull her back. the house was shaking now and i could hear things around the house fall over and break.

"you can't have her... she's my wife... i love her." i said holding dash. this only seemed to make the creature mad and it lashed out more tentacles... but instead of grabbing hold of dash, these ones went right for me. they went behind me and started slashing at my back. i yelled in pain. i could feel my grasp weakening as the blades went through my body and began to slowly eviscerate me. with little energy left i let go and fell to the ground.

i watched as i slowly faded away as the creature grabbed dash and she screamed and struggled. the shadow pony just wrapped her up in more shadow tentacles and silenced her. the tentacles stopped attacking me and went back to the shadow leaning my insides almost non existent and the flesh on my back almost all gone. the shadow pony smiled and as i tried to clamor to life my vision faded and i fell into darkness.

this was not the darkness of death though... no... death cannot have me now... not when i have a purpose now. i know that this thing exists in life. it has taken my beloved rainbow dash and all i know is that she is one of the most important ponies in my entire life and now she's gone. you cannot believe the rage that rest within me now. when i find this thing there will be hell... i will burn the world just to find her.

i have new power now... and this... this demon thinks that it can challenge me. i will destroy this being with such power that not even it's soul can be saved. i will not rest... i will not sleep... and i will never ever stop until this thing dies. there is no place in hell equal to that of my wrath. i know this thing isn't part of my mind so that means it can bleed.

and if it bleeds... it can kill it.
