As the economy worsens, work becomes scarce and food becomes expensive. Gram and his friends try to do the best they can, but he fi nds himself on the run with the most notorious pirates on Mars. I just thought, that since you don't have anywhere to sleep, you could come to my place. It was already past nightfall, but only one of the moons was rising. More than few of them shoot him a curious glance and were more than disturbed by his scars. What struck him as odd was the fact that he couldn't see any fortification around town, no walls or anything.

At the same time, however, he noticed a town at the mountineside in a distance, which looked like somebody mixed together Dalaran and Silvermoon. What do you want to know? This is the town of Ponyville, and this land is called Equestria, ruled by sisters Princess Celestia and Princess Luna from the capital, Canterlot, which you can see over there. Matthias shoot her a look of disbelief, but didn't say anything. Either all of these ponies were being fooled by their rulers, or this world was even stranger than he thought. Arthas stood near the dying wildkin. It was the biggest one of the group; the three smaller ones already died.

Arthas mused over an idea of raising their corpses to add them too his army, but rejected this notion; he would deal with his former brothers personally, with only his subjects fighting beside him. Did you liked those trees we've cut so much? The wildkin looked at his direction and gasped something. Arthas shook his head. He thought for a moment that these creatures were intelligent, since they used some weird magic to fight them besides their claws and beaks, but apparently, this wasn't the case.

They were just some animals. Arthas came closer to the dying beast, deciding to end its suffering in a rare moment of mercy. He raised Frostmourne and plunged it through the heart of the wildkin. As his runeblade took the soul of the beast, the death knight took a peak in its memories. His mind was assaulted by a stream of memories and thoughts, of some strange beings and their promise. None can know about this secret pandaren relaxation area. What in Light's name is wrong with this world? And besides," he added in much sadder tone "I don't really have anything to return to.

Twilight looked at the weird stallion that was walking next to her. She didn't know what to make out of him. He was big and well muscled, probably even more than Big Macintosh, which along with his scars made him appear as some brute, but spoke with eloquence befitting a prince, aside of few moments when he was irritated at something. And there were also his eyes. Now that Twilight took a good look at them, she could understand what Fluttershy meant.

Whenever he has smiled or frowned, it didn't reach his eyes. As if their were obscured by a mist. Not for me, at least. Night elfs would love this place. Until she mentioned that, Matthias didn't notice it. It was indeed rather cold, which he nearly forgotten how that felt.

Since he took that cursed blade he couldn't feel cold, and as a testament to that, he spent later six years sitting quite literally on an iceberg. To feel cold again was As soon as he was inside, he saw that Twilight really did read 'tons of books'. Her whole house was practically filled with them. Of course, Matthias has seen bigger collections, but those were usually in libraries.

Twilight looked at the weird pony who started laughing for no apparent reason other than her living in a library. She felt offended and a little embarrassed, to her surprise. Twilight shook her head and stood next to Matthias, who was currently lying on his back, still laughing. Matthias looked up and Twilight gasped. For the first time she could see something in those sea-colored eyes which were, as Twilight noticed, blushing, quite beautiful: And as Matthias finished that sentence, all that happiness evaporated. Once again, his eyes were emotionless.

I once told her she should live in a library, considering how much time she spent studying. I'm sure that if you two ever meet, you will be best friends in an instant. I hope I'll meet her someday, then. Speaking of plans, do you want something to eat? I'm can make some dinner for you, I already ate with my friends when we waited at the hospital.

Matthias looked as Twilight went to what he assumed was a kitchen. She really was a lot like Jaina, but there were plenty of differences, too. Like that she was a pony. But she also was more naive and innocent than her: She knew what pain and lost felt like, even before he became He shook his head, not wanting to think about this for a moment. He noticed that Spike was still here, although he looked as if he would fall asleep standing up. I'm sure that if you were at peak form, I would have a problem, though" he added, noticing Spike's expression.

Now please, go to sleep, before you fall over and Twilight will think that it was my fault. He was so different from his world's dragons; he had no wings, he was walking on two legs He would look into it later. He looked around at the books. Unlike the library in Dalaran, this one seemed organized; from what he could see, they were put in order on the shelves based on their topic: Matthias's train of thoughts was interrupted by a sound of wings coming from the opened window.

He turned around swiftly and saw an owl sitting on a bird perch. He was about to return to examining the books, when he remembered that so far, the only creatures that didn't talked to him were those timberwolves, and even they were smarter than wolves should be. I really should have seen this one coming, shouldn't I? He decided to change the subject.

Apparently, becoming a pony automatically switched him into a vegetarian. Your bed is the one on the first floor in this room. Turning his attention back to the sandwich, Matthias thought " How long it's been since last I ate anything? Must have been that morning before Mal'Ganis attacked Matthias soon finished eating and went to sleep. While his head has healed, it still hurt a bit, and all the weird things he had to deal with since he came to this world were only adding to his migraine.

The bed Twilight prepared for him looked comfortable, and surprisingly, normal. He half expected that ponies slept in a piles of hay or something. It didn't take long for him to fall asleep. However, as soon as he did that, he opened his eyes and found himself again in Bolvar Fordragon's consciousness. What could possibly somepony like me do? Suddenly, a thought came to him: I lost track of time in that For a moment I even thought I sensed Sylvanas there.

She came before the Frozen Throne few days ago. She didn't seem to be very happy to see me sitting on it, though. I thought it was just a different part of my torment She couldn't have survived! I sensed her in wherever the hell I've been, for Light's sake! The Val'kyr were bound to him; after his death and Bolvar's 'succession', they became bounded to him. Apparently, they weren't happy that they had to lay dormant atop Icecrown Citadel, so they made pact with someone so familiar to them, bringing her back to life.

They sit behind their Wall, not integrating with the rest of the Azeroth. The Horde has no reason to attack them. He needed to know, even if he couldn't do anything for Azeroth. It has been stopped, however, by Malfurion Stormrage, archdruid of the kaldorei, and few others. Problems they still had, however; this world is in great pain, Arthas, and all the elements are acting violently, for some reason.

I'm sure that you remember that the Warchief of the Horde, Thrall, is a shaman. He went to the Outland, to seek counsel from shamans who know about violent elements, so that he could figure out what ails Azeroth. Arthas once again glanced on Ner'zhul, the one responsible for the state that Outland is now.

If he had any regrets, he didn't show them. And whenever I try to concentrate, I see a vision that you've seen through me once; a huge mass of swirling water, and laughter. Anyway, during his absence, he appointed Garrosh Hellscream as acting warchief. From what he know, he hasn't been part of the Horde for long; why did Thrall appointed him I don't know all the details, but he challanged Garrosh to a duel, which he lost, because Magatha of the Grimtotem poisoned Garrosh's weapon, and she and her tribe currently occupies Thunder Bluff.

King Magni Bronzebeard also tried to understand what ails Azeroth, using an old ritual that dwarves found out about while exploring Ulduar. It allows whoever performs it to be one with earth. Unfortunately, nobody expected it to be literal, and Magni ended up transformed into stone.

To make things even more hectic, his daughter, Moira, returned with her half Dark Iron son and half of Dark Iron dwarves and took the throne of Ironforge. All three of them were silent for a long time after that, each of them thinking of what would became of Azeroth. Being practically one being, each knew what visions visited Ner'zhul, but even he, who understood them better, could not explain or predict every thing.

Those more intelligent and powerful are mostly beyond my control, Val'kyr being prime example of that. So I keep the Scourge in check by controlling those mindless ones. Their are my eyes and ears, whatever they see or hear, I see or hear. Arthas bowed his head and said: See you two later.

Product details

Twilight stretched as she woke up. Despite putting several wards that were suppose to awaken her if Matt tried to rob her, hurt her or Spike or simply leave the library, she slept without being disturbed the whole night, and now she felt bad about not trusting the strange stallion. She got up from her bed and looked at Spike's which was empty.

Guessing he either was doing some of his chores or went to Rarity's, she headed down to make some breakfast for herself and Matt. Matthias was already awake, lying on her spare bed and reading one of her books. Several others were lying on a small table next to the bed. I didn't know you like to read, though. Twilight looked at the titles he picked. Unfortunately, this book doesn't have much information in it. There are five dragonflights: Well, there are others beside those, but they are not natural, so I skipped them.

Twilight, even more intrigued now, frowned. She remembered how dragons where in Equestria: To think of dragons as guardians of some land I learned few thing about them during my work. Quite the helper you've got. And with that she turned to the door, thinking how to get Matthias to be more open; after all, Princess Celestia sent her here to study the magic of friendship. What kind of friend she would be for she already thought of herself as Matt's friend if she couldn't help him deal with whatever was plaguing his mind?

So engrossed was she in her thoughts, she didn't pay attention to anything when she entered the main room of her library. Only after few paces did she noticed something was off. When Twilight left, Matthias turned his attention back to one of the other books. He wandered how long he could put her off with his half answers. The more he studied Equestria, the more weird this world seemed to him. The fact that the Princess Celestia was at least a thousand years old wasn't strange to him after all, there were those in his world much more older than that , but that she banished her own sister to the moon after she was corrupted by dark powers born out of her own bitterness and jealousy amazed him.

He thought this world to be peaceful, and its inhabitants innocent. He was impressed by what Celestia did, and could identify himself with Luna, even if what happened to her was more similar to the work of the Old Gods. He thought back to Stratholme. At the time, he really believed that what he was doing was right. Even now he wasn't sure what would happen if he didn't slaughter everyone there; the number of dead from that city could have been enough to destroy Lordaeron, or maybe they wouldn't.

He would never know, but what he knew was this: He thought about his own sister, Calia, who disappeared during the fall of Lordaeron, and was probably dead. At least Celestia got her sister back; according to the book, which was quite new, being printed barely six months ago, Princess Luna returned from the moon more than year ago, and was purified of her dark self by something called the Elements of Harmony, and now ruled alongside her sister again after a thousand years.

No less surprising was to him the fact that they had essentially the same celebrations: While there were some differences, it was still weird for two worlds to have similar celebrations in in the same time. Despite Matthias concentration on ponies related subjects, he managed to learn something very useful: He could use a break anyway.

He never understood how Jaina could read for hours without one. So, do you like it? Half an hour ago I went to the kitchen to get something to drink. How did you prepare all of this in such short time, without making any noise at that?! She ran up to a unicorn pony sitting near some weird contraption and said a few words to her.

The pony, who was wearing purple tinted sunglasses for some reason, nodded and used her magic on her machine. Out of nowhere, a music could be heard. Pinkie could have at least asked me before she threw a party here. Go and enjoy yourself. Matthias looked resigned around, and made his way to the table with snack on it. Few ponies that walked past him said "Hello. I hope the three of you didn't get into much of trouble while I wasn't around to save you.

Matthias barely stopped himself from bursting into laughter. He couldn't help but wonder how would the Argent Crusade, or even better, the Scarlet Crusade, react to those three fillies and their club. Matthias was touched that these three girls wanted him to join their special club and once again, he was amazed how trustful denizens of Equestria were , however, he knew he couldn't accept their invitation. If I can't, I would be wasting your and my time by trying to discover what my special talent is.

You could spend that time better on discovering your talents, while I on figuring out why am I here. You don't need an old colt like me to slow you down. That finally made the girls laugh. Saying their farewells, they went over to the group of ponies near their age. Matthias couldn't help but to admire her courage, as well as her common sense.

So are you, if what Spike told me about your applebucking skills is true. However, you're the first pony who remembers that, beside Spike, who is a dragon, so he is bound to look at some things different than ponies. Hell, Twilight even invited me to sleep in her house without taking any safety measures, unless she put some sort of magical wards on me or something.

You said she is a fashion designer, right? Nopony was paying any attention to them at the moment, though. I officially cannot be amazed by anything anymore. Matthias looked at the dragon, who just now realized that he may have wanted to avoid this subject in front of others.

I find that hard to believe. Of course she would leave me! Pity she or Uther didn't simply kill me then. It's a bit stuffy here. Twilight heard the doors open and notice with a surprise that Matt has left. Last she seen him, he was talking to Spike and Rainbow Dash, so she went over to them, the other following her. While Twilight was thinking this through, realising this was most likely this friend he mentioned to her yesterday, and started to better understand Matt, she heard Applejack say:.

Whatever happened to him that caused it, it must have been something horrible. Now, while you got him thinking about his girlfriend, it might be easier to get him to talk. Twilight looked at the direction her friend was pointing, nodded at the rest, and galloped over there. After few moments, they spotted Matthias. Spike looked at the door few minutes after his friend left. He felt guilty; if he didn't keep pestering Matt about relationships, he wouldn't have left, feeling sad. He should apologize to him. Matthias looked at his reflection in the river, thinking about Jaina, as well as his father, Uther, Muradin, Antonidas, and everyone he ever hurt, which meant pretty much everyone.

He winced as he recalled how he caused his friend's accident, and was forced to end his suffering. He remembered, how the first thing he did after murdering his father was raising his beloved steed from his grave, so he could serve him once again. He looked at he sky. And it was with this thoughts in mind that he opened his mouth and did something he hadn't done in years: The girls listened, mesmerized.

None of them could understand any word of this song, but the sadness of it could pierce anypony's heart. And none of them expected Matthias to have such beautiful singing voice, either. When he finished his song, they looked at each other, unsure what to do now. Finally, Twilight stepped forward and said:. He whirled around, surprised. It said something about how lost in thoughts he was that he hadn't noticed them earlier. He decided to use the translation he was most familiar with, changing only the word 'steed' into 'friend'. As he expected, all of them, including rough Rainbow Dash and always happy Pinkie Pie, were looking at him with sad eyes.

As they run, Twilight tried to imagine into what kind of trouble Spike got himself now, but nothing could prepare her for what she was about to witness. There they were, in the center of Ponyville. The three jerky dragons that Spike first befriended, then angered when he realized what kind of friends they really were during the Great Dragon Migration, were standing right here, and their leader, the red one, was holding Spike by his head high above the ground. Twilight bit her lip, thinking for a heartbeat what she could do.

The dragon was still holding Spike; she could easily teleport him out of his grasp, but what then? The dragons would be still in Ponyville, and she doubted than anypony beside the Princesses could made them leave, even if they were only teenagers. Matthias came closer to the dragons, so they could see each other better.

Like Spike, they were different from dragons from Azeroth. They were bipedal, had small wings, one of them was ridiculously fat, and they appeared to be incredibly stupid. Judging by the size difference between them, Spike and a matured dragon from the 'All about dragons', Matthias guessed that they must be a teenage dragons, on Azeroth called drakes.

Just as he was observing and judging them, the dragons judged him. They weren't impressed, if their laughter was any indication. Nevertheless, he was laughing. That finally got him attention from the dragons. None the one he would desire, since they were rather angry instead of worried, but still, it was some improvement. Whole town's gonna be ugly when we're finished with it. By that time the red dragon noticed that something was off, mostly because the last word Matthias practically shouted right into his ear.

But he still couldn't do anything to stop Matt from slamming his knee into the dragon's throat. As soon as he landed his hit, Matthias bit back a shout of pain that came with it. Dragon's scale was even thougher that he gave it credit for, but now there was no turning back. As the red dragon gasped for air, he hit him with his elbow at the base of skull for good measure. At the same time, he could hear that the other dragons noticed what was happening, so Matthias whirled, grabbed Spike, and jumped away, just in time to avoid the flames, which were most likely meant for him, but hit the red drake instead.

Being save for a moment, he spared few seconds to toss Spike to Twilight, knowing she would catch him with her magic, and said:. I won't be able to both fight them and protect you at the same time! As he suspected, their scales gave them more resistance than even the bark of the timberwolves. The two strikes, which would have crushed any other creature's spine, didn't do much to the red drake beside leaving him stunned for few seconds, and his comrades flames did even less. In fact, he was the one who was more hurt. Twilight and her friends were looking, stunned, as Matthias threw himself right between the dragons.

That was pure madness! Now not only he was fighting three dragons, but was also surrounded by them. At the same time, however, one of the dragons tried to hit Matthias with his tail, which he swiftly dodged, and the tail hit the other dragon instead. Twilight now understood what Matt's plan was. He noticed, or, which was even more likely, knew from the beginning, that his punches weren't going to have much effect on dragons. Their scales were too thick and durable. Even striking at vital points such as the throat wasn't enough.

So, instead of using his strength, he was going to use the dragon's own strength instead. Still, this was going to be risky. If he couldn't dodge a single strike like the one before, he would end up with his bones broken. Twilight looked at her friends. All of them were staring at the scene before them with wide eyes, as well as all the ponies, who were showing a common sense by staying in their houses and were watching the fight through their windows. And none could blame them. How often a single pony was fighting three dragons and was winning?

It was such a captivating scene, that it wasn't until few hours later that it hit Twilight that she should have sent a message to the Princess at this moment. Matthias tried his hardest to keep up. As much as he hated to admit it, he underestimated those drakes a bit. They were faster, and, judging by their yowls of pain as they hit themselves, were also stronger that he gave them credit for.

But still, he had the upperhoof: All he had to do was keep in mind their positions and react in time. And that was what he managed to do, until he was forced to jump in the air, and realised too late that he couldn't dodge the fireball the purple dragon was about to fire at him.

Cursing at himself, he crossed his arms in front of him, and waited those few fractions of seconds for fireball to almost reach him, and in that precise moment, he hit the air in front of him, which actually worked better that he expected. The dragon was also surprised, so Matthias used his momentum and slammed the dragon's face with his hooves, extinguishing few flames that were on them in the process.

Unfortunately, he lingered with pummeling the purple dragon's face a second too long. The brown dragon grabbed him from behind and lifted him in the air, squeezing his chest. As he felt his ribs shatter, he uttered a short, painful scream. Twilight was as terrified as anyone, but her fear lasted only a short time. She once again prepered to cast a spell she had in mind for a while, but before she finished, she stopped. Sensing the dragon's claws around his throat, Matthias didn't fall into despair, as most ponies would. Instead, he fell into rage. Uther couldn't kill him.

Sylvanas couldn't kill him. Anasterian couldn't kill him. Antonidas couldn't kill him. Such great heroes, warriors or wizards, and they fell before him. And now, when he was actually fighting to protect others, for the first time in almost a decade, he was going to get killed by those pathetic creatures?! He gazed at the dragon with eyes that could cut through a saronite, and the drake, despite crushing him, despite strangling him, backed off a bit, scared, and loosened up his hold of Matthias. Not enough to let him escape, but enough to let him speak.

I dueled the demon hunter Illidan Stormrage, Lord of Outland, in front of the doors of the Frozen Throne, and was victorious! His last words turned into a yell, as he managed to free one arm and hit the drake right in the eye, which caused the dragon to yowl in pain.

Whirling himself free after that, Matthias spun around and kicked the drake in the jaw, breaking it. As the bronze drake fell to the ground, writhing in pain, Matt looked at the other dragons with hatred in eyes, and attacked again. Twilight watched as her friend once again threw himself at the dragons, but this time it was different. This time he wasn't letting their attacks to land on each other while he dodged them. This time he was attacking, with rage burning through his eyes. She though about what he just said, about all those victories against some strange creatures, including a dragon, which, judging by his title, was a full grown dragon.

She though about his scars, and how he seemed so full of hatred right now. Despite his injuries, Matthias moved even faster now, easily dodging all of the drakes attacks, and landing his. While they still were far from effective, he kept striking at sensitive areas, such as the throat, eyes, and joints. After a while the dragons started to actually grunt in pain whenever he hit them, which told him they wouldn't last long.

That thought almost became his undoing, when he let his guard down and once again jumped up into the air, and get hit by red drake's tail. Thankfully, he managed to lift his arms and block it, but the force of the strike threw him trough the doors of a bakery. As he got up from the floor and looked around to see if the owners were here so he could apologize to them before he throw himself back into the fray, he noticed a long knife lying on the table next to him. He could see the the purple dragon in front of the bakery, preparing to set it aflame and him along with it.

He jumped out through the hole in the door and slashed the drake's open mouth. Matt didn't spare him a look, and kicked with his back legs drake's kneecap, causing the dragon to collapse. As he looked at the last standing drake, he throw the knife into air, let it spin around, and caught it. Now the blade was on his left side. He charged at the dragon, not bothering to look at his face. Matthias jumped between his legs, and slashed, managing to cut, even if barely, through drake's scale at it weakest point.

As the dragon was falling, Matthias swiftly rolled out from under him, and jumped on his chest. He twisted the knife again, and prepared to lower it into the red dragon's throat, looking into his eyes. The dragon looked backed at him with the exact same look as the children's of Stratholme gave him. For what seemed like an eternity, he stared at those eyes, realizing what he almost did. Finally, he spat the knife away, and get off the dragon, forcing himself not to tremble.

As the dragons picked themselves from the ground, two of them limping and one holding his jaw, he stood still, despite his urge to go away from everypony. But he wasn't going to take his eyes off the dragons until he was sure they left for good. For a moment, it seemed that it would take long. But soon, the red drake looked back at him, all his fear disappeared already, and said:.

We're just a teen dragons. But just you wait. When we are full fledged dragons, we will return. And you will burn! Return when you are all grown up, and I will kill you without a moment of hesitation. When they left, Matthias didn't bothered to looked at the ponies. He knew what he would see in their faces.

Twilight simply stared at the space where Matthias had nearly killed three dragons long after everypony started whispering between themselves about what just happened. Finally, her friends managed to snap her back into reality. We've got a potential murderer in Ponyville, for pity's sake! Twilight bit her lip, unsure. While she really needed to write to the Princess quite frankly, she should have written to her yesterday , that would most likely result in Matt being arrested or banished, and that would be unfair. After all, he was only protecting Ponyville and them, even if his methods were a bit brutal.

First, I need to talk to Matt. He stopped the moment when they understood they were beaten, and let them leave. At least they don't kill kids. I will go talk to him now, and I will send Princess Celestia a letter about this later. Oh, and I should bring them their knife back, too! Oh, and, umm, Twilight When Twilight left to find Matt, her friends stayed a few moments longer, besides Spike, who went to the library and started cleaning it. Matthias trotted to his 'pondering place' by the bridge, as he came to call it.

While his mind and soul were struggling not to break after what he nearly did, he was at the same time suffering from bodily pain as well.

Now that the adrenaline rush was over, he could feel how bad he was hurt. He was certain that he had all of his ribs shattered. Pity he couldn't remember how many ribs ponies had at the moment. Matthias thought that maybe thirty six. He was just glad that at least none of them punctured his lungs. And as if that wasn't enough, his hooves bore first and second degree burns, despite him extinguishing dragon's flames quickly. But none of it mattered to him. He looked at his reflection, the memory of the Culling of Stratholme renewed in his mind.

He could practically hear the screams of his people, his subjects that he swore to protect, as he slaughtered them all. Nearly twenty five thousand people killed in a single day. He would have probably stayed like this for hours, ravaged by his memories, if he wasn't interrupted by something that tried to collide with his head. Matthias ducked at the last second, and was just about to strike at it, but he stopped himself at the last moment. That 'something' turned out to be a raven, which was now sitting on a bridge and looked directly at him.

Not just because the raven spoke. By now, he was far to used to this, even though he was pretty sure ravens here didn't speak. No, what unsettled Matthias was what the bird had said. There was one that had said the exact same words, when he came with a warning to him. A warning, that, if he would have heeded it, he would have never became the Lich King. And even though that seemed to be impossible, he called the raven by the name he knew that person bore, despite not knowing it back then. Arthas barely stopped from facehoofing himself. He decided not to bring up the fact that Medivh should be dead twice.

You couldn't help me back then, so that I wouldn't tried to commit a mass genocide of the whole Azeroth, but you find some free time to come to a world populated by talking ponies, seven years after your second death! Have I spoken more clearly of the fate that awaited you at the end of that road, would you have listened to me? Now listen to me, boy!



Arthas swung his hoof, while still looking at the sky, only to hit an empty space. Medivh was nowhere to be seen. Twilight looked at Matthias and fought back the urge to gasp. His hooves were badly burned and judging by the shallow breaths he was taking she guessed that most of his ribs were broken.

This talk wasn't going the way she hoped. However, before she had a chance to say anything, Matthias took charge of the conversation. That finally got some reaction out of him. Matt turned his head, stared at her, surprised, and asked:. I just needed some friendship problem to solve before sundown so I could write to the Princess I am supposed to write her letters describing what I learned. One day though, I forgot that I haven't sent her a letter since the previous week, and I was afraid that I was going to miss the deadline.

I later asked them for help, but they thought that my problem was silly, so they didn't help me. So, after a while, I might have gone a bit I figured that if I couldn't find a friendship problem, I could create a friendship problem. I enchanted my old doll Smarty Pants, so that everypony would fall in love with it, and the next thing I knew, the whole town was put under that spell.

Thankfully, Spike wrote to the Princess Celestia how the whole letter thing got into me, and she came to Ponyville in time to fix the everything.

In the end, it turned out I didn't have to send her those letters every week, but only after I learned a new lesson. Matthias looked at her for a bit, and then started chuckling. Twilight, who was expecting that, rolled her eyes. After few seconds Matt stopped laughing and shook in pain.

It hurts to laugh. Well, beside occasional dragon's raids or timberwolves attacks, I guess. He must have meant 'land'. Matthias barely managed to keep his composure when Twilight said 'plaguing'. This odd coincidence had made him abandon his idea of telling her everything. But he knew he had to tell her something. For some reason, Twilight wanted to help him, and he found out that it was nice to have a somepony who cared about him.

And he liked her, even though she reminded him so much of Jaina that he could feel the pain in his heart renewed whenever they talked. Matthias glanced at Twilight. She seemed to be a bit scared after what he said, but she was still listening to him. Since you're Princess Celestia's apprentice, I guess you are more familiar with this story than me. I suppose you could say that something similar happened to me. I have followed a path of revenge, and it led me to the weapon of great power, which I had paid a great price to get. I slowly forgot about everything and everypony I ever cared for.

It wasn't until shortly before I woke up in Equestria that I returned to who I was once I may no longer be the same pony I was during last few years, but I'm not as I was before, either. Twilight gazed at Matthias, trying to comprehend what he said. That he was once evil, while wouldn't be shocking to her friends, surprised her.

She had assumed that something terrible has happened to him, and even though she was right after a fashion, Twilight didn't think that it would be anything like Princess Luna becoming Nightmare Moon kind of terrible. However, there was something different between those two cases. While Luna had a lot of trouble to adjust to the life in Equestria, it was mostly because she was banished for a thousand years. Matthias, on the other hoof, seemed to be troubled by what he did. You saved Spike, and Ponyville. While your methods might be considered barbaric here, I understand why you did that.

I guess, sometimes you have to step down to their level. I can see your point. Being surrounded by ponies you trust and have them advising you will always make you take the right course of action. Twilight smiled to herself, realizing that when she'll write Princess Celestia a letter about Matt, she could add a new lesson about the Magic of Friendship. I just didn't listen. Guess that makes me a bad friend, huh? I would like to be your friend, if you would let me. As she said that, she extended her hoof, hoping that Matt would do the same. What he did, however, was something she didn't expect.

Matthias took her hoof, lowered his head and planted a kiss on it. While Twilight blushed with embarrassment, she heard Matt say:. When they eyes crossed, Twilight saw a spark of amusement in his. Realizing that he meant for her to feel embarrassed, she fought the urge to frown. Instead, she came up with an idea for revenge. As promised, half an hour after Twilight went after Matthias, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie gathered in front of the library, wondering if they should come in or wait a bit.

They were about to start discussing it, when they heard a loud yowl of pain coming out of the Twilight's house. Without a moment of hesitation, they all barged in, expecting to see Matthias hurting their friend. Matthias was being held by Twilight's magic hovering above the ground in the center of the room. There was a bandage wrapping itself very tightly around his chest. His front hooves were in a bucket filled with some funny smelling liquid. Twilight was standing in some distance away from him, levitating a book in front of her.

Spike was watching them both, not sure if he should be amused or scared. Whatever he was going to say, it transformed into another yowl of pain as Twilight tightened his bandage. The five mares and Spike exchanged worried glances. What in Equestria has happened to their friend? Finally, Rarity came over to Twilight. Rarity waited few moments for her friend to explain herself, but soon realised she wasn't going to. She tried to sound casual, but Rarity noticed her voice to be a little shaken, as well as that she was blushing.

Twlight, realizing that he heard what she and Rarity were talking about, tightened the bandages again. To his credit, this time Matthias only grunted. I've never seen a pony that could walk around town with so many ribs shattered. Or, just a pony with so many ribs shattered, for that matter.

All five of her friends gasped, wondering how he could have simply walk away after the fight, or how he was able to withstand Twilight healing methods without passing out. Rarity sharp eyes, however, managed to notice an expression Matt's face had for a second: Do you mind watching Matthias? Are you going to be fine? I'd really hate the irony Matthias glanced at the five mares and one dragon. They were looking at him with confusion and suspicion.

He was rewarded with four mares staing at him with a mix of astonishment, anger, and embarrassement. Pinkie and Spike, on the other hoof, burst into laughter. I would have kicked you all the way to the other side of Equestria. For many years I had no feelings such as pity, remorse, or shame. I had no longer cared for my friends and family, either. It wasn't until before I had come to Equestria that I was freed, and I still have problems Matthias looked at the floor, trying to find the right word to describe it to them how he felt, but found none.

Luckily, he didn't have to say more. He figured that this was some sort of 'peasant' custom, so he spat at his hoof and bumped into Applejack's. Twilight said it was cleaning his flesh I know you could be fun! We should throw another party! You did scare off those scary dragons, so I think you deserve to be trusted. And besides, I would like to hear how you beat that Sap-something dragon!

I need to borrow another 'Daring Do' book. Especially, books cool as those! After a while he started chuckling. Zecora happened to be in Ponyville, buying some ingredients. I bumped into her, and she made me these: Everypony looked at what she was showing them and shook. The bottle with the brew had some scary looking pictures of bones on it.

There were letters on it, too, which were forming a word: I'm writing to you today because of the strange thing that had happened in Ponyville a few days ago. Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo, the three fillies that you often read in my letters, and who barely a week ago sent you their own letter, got lost in the Everfree Forest. While they were trying to find they way out of it, they were suddenly attacked by a pack of timberwolves.

Before any harm came to them, out of the woods jumped out a strange stallion and fought them off. After he managed to take the girls out of the forest, he lost conscience due to the injury he received during the fight. We took him to the hospital, and when he awakened, we asked him who he was and where did he came from. It turned out that his name was Matthias Lehner, and he is from a land called 'Azeroth', which I never heard of, and apparently, it is only populated by the earth ponies. In fact, he didn't know that unicorns and pegasi really existed, he thought that they were only in legends.

But that is not the weirdest part of it. Matthias, despite being older than me and the rest of my friends by at least ten years, doesn't have a cutie mark! And according to what he said, ponies in Azeroth doesn't have them either! Not to mention, that until we explained to him what was a cutie mark, he didn't know about it! I think it would be best if I told you about this Azeroth a bit, in case you haven't heard about it like me. Matt told me that a few thousand years ago his land was faced with a terrible danger.

To protect it, the last emperor of Azeroth somehow managed to create a magical mist around it, which hid it from the rest of the world. Is such a thing even possible? However, those aren't the most important reasons that I'm writing to you now. If that were the case, I would have waited until I've gathered more information. Today, while we were having a party for welcoming Matt into Ponyville you know how Pinkie can get , our town had unwelcomed visitors. The three teen dragons that Spike met during the Great Dragon Migration came after him to the Ponyville, with an intent to cause trouble.

Before they managed to do that, Mattias started fighting them, and despite getting severely injured, he beat them. For a moment he was even go as far as to kill them, but stopped himself, and let them leave. When one of the dragons warned him that one day, when they were all grown up dragons, they would return, Matthias said something that scared everypony: Apparently, that is how ponies in Azeroth handle danger.

After the dragons left, he went to sulk near the river at the end of the Ponyville. I went after him: I wanted to know why he said what he said, as well as better understand him in general. He told me then something terrifying: He didn't say what exactly he did, saying that it would take long time and would scar me mentally. He only said that he did a lot of terrible things, and it wasn't until shortly before he came into Equestria that he was brought back to his senses, and he fears deeply that he might became evil once again. He is plagued with guilt for what he did.

His story sounds a lot like what had happened to your sister, Princess Luna. I had said to him what I think is a great lesson about friendship: I had also offered to became his friend, which he happily agreed to. Matt is currently staying at my house. Of course, I have placed magical words to warn me if he would tried to cause harm, just in case. I don't believe he is of any danger to anypony, and my friends agree with me well, mostly , but I felt that I have to ask for your opinion nonetheless.

He was in a dark room, chained to the table. He couldn't get out, his bindings were to tight. He tried to look around the room he was in. At first, he couldn't see a thing, but after a while, he managed to make out several shapes, and he wished he didn't. There were corpses on the floor, and the tools, which, judging by the blood on them, were used to kill them, hanged on the walls. But it wasn't until he noticed what those corpses had in common that he started to panic and tried to break free. The corpses were skinned and had most of their organs removed, and if their faces were of any indication, it all happened when they were still alive.

He struggled with all his strength to break his bonds, but to no avail.
