Well it's been a little bit since I last wrote anything down. I have been busy for most of the time, helping most of the ponies of Trottingham regain what life they once had before the gryphons decided to attack. I still can not believe what had happened the last few day. The trek to Trottingham was anything but smooth. High winds rolling off the mountain to the west made a cross wind with those coming from the east. Flying became non existent so our eyes were basically cut.

We made our way through the forest to the west of the ruins of Dappleshore. It was the only cover we would have from then on. The rest of the way was nothing but open grasslands and rolling hills. Chocolate never left my side during the whole trip. Always asking me questions about my life and the things that I could remember. She was so young and was eager to learn more. She said that her mother and father strawberry and grape farmers. They would grow their grapes and sell most of them off, only keeping what they needed till the next harvest. Which I could understand, farmers on earth did that too. Still I could tell just by looking at her that she missed them. I am so very sorry little one, I wished we had gotten there faster.

Rainbow as well as all her other friends are trotting up beside me. Rainbow Dash was badly injured by one of the archers that occupied Trottingham...

Tom shuddered softly and was soon caught doing so by Rarity. "Oh dear, darling are you alright? You're not cold are you?"

Tom shook his head. "No, I'm just writing down what had happened recently since I left my book with Luna before we left to Trottingham. I just remembered seeing Rainbow lying there with that arrow sticking out. I swore she was dead and it was my fault." Just then Tom was clocked upside his head.

"Ow what they hay, what gives Rainbow?" He yelled rubbing his head.

"Didn't I tell you that it wasn't you fault?"

Tom sighed. "Yeah I know but still, I was in charge and I should have done something."

"From what Haze told me, if you didn't react as fast as you did, Rainbow Dash might not be here." Fluttershy spoke in a soft voice.

"It wasn't like you could foretell that future Star. If anypony could then we wouldn't be here right now and you might not be here either. I don't pretend to know everything even though I know a lot. But I think you were brought here for this reason. I think you were meant to help us." Twilight placed a gentle hoof upon his hand. "So cheer up, besides you have a princess to save."

"Sorry ladies. Just the whole thing seems to be hitting me."

"What thing?" Rainbow sat beside the human.

"Well everything. I mean nearly two months ago I was at home sleeping, the next thing I know I'm here. I always thought this place just an idea that someone came up with but... it's as real as Earth. It's like you know, how can I explain what I am seeing?"

Twilight and her friends look to each other before Pinkie Pie spoke up. "You can't."

"Huh?"

"You can't explain it because it doesn't need to be explained, it just is."

The girls look to each other then back to Tom and nod in agreement. "She's right you know. It's best not to think about it and just go with it."

Tom nodded to them and smiled softly before he was tackled to the ground by Pinkie Pie, followed by all the rest until they all became a giggling piles of laughter. But it was stopped by a pony whom cleared his throat. "Lord Lunar, Princess Luna wishes to see you."

Twilight and her friends slowly climb off of the human as he rose to his feet. Brushing himself off he waved good bye to his six friends and followed the armored pegasus into Luna's tent. "You wanted to see me princess?"

"Please Lunar thou knows better then to address us as such. But yes we did wish to speak with thee. We will be leaving the safety of the forest tomorrow."

"You know with a name like the Forsaken Forest I was expecting something a bit more like the Everfree Forest."

Luna nodded her head. "Yes, one would think that which is why we leave come the morrow. Though the forest is not as wild dose not mean it is not dangerous. The faster we leave these trees the better. But any rate once we leave the safety of the forest we have no doubt that Greaves will have his entire army at the foot of their mountain waiting for us. Up until now we have noticed that thou has not been able to summon thy armor."

Tom shook his head. "No, I have no idea how to. To be honest I have been rather lucky I haven't been killed up till this point. Believe me Luna if I knew what to do in order to summon it I would have. Tia said that when I needed it, it would come to me."

"We see. A lot of time has past since Tia and I had your armor made but it was Tia whom imbued it so we have no idea what enchantments were laid upon it." Tom sighed and sat at one of the make shift tables.

"We believe that when the battle comes it will come hard. We will need thee upon the front lines, to give our troops the drive they need to fight their hardest. We can not lose this coming battle Lunar. That is something we can not stress enough." Tom nodded.

"I know that Luna believe me." He quickly drew his crystal sword and held it out before him. The blade pulsed and shined with magic power from his own body. "Naisha thirsts for Greaves's blood."

"We understand thou is angered by King Greaves action but thou should not let thy rage cloud thy mind. Greaves is without a doubt furious with the constant losses... Lunar? What's wrong?"

Tom held his head in his hand, a look of pain upon his face. "I'm not sure. All of a sudden my head started to ache. I'm sure it's nothing but perhaps it would be best if I rested a bit." Luna nodded her head with a look of concern upon her but it would soon turn to shock when the human stood up and simply fell over.

"Lunar! Guards!" Two pegasi ran into their princess's tent and seen the fallen human upon the ground. "Help us get him into bed, quickly." Twilight and her friends having heard Luna shout ran in as they were helping Tom into the bed he shared with Luna.

"Princess Luna what's going on, we heard you shout and came as soon as we could."

"We are not certain Twilight Sparkle. Lunar complained about a pain upon his head and once he rose, he simply fell over. He had not used any magic and we are not certain if his condition is what did it."

"Oh I hope the poor dear will be alright. He has done so much for us in such a short time. I would hate to see him leave us." Rarity said as she stepped up beside the now slumbering human.

"We are sure that it is nothing but exhaustion. He has after all been fighting for a few days non-stop, we all have." The seven of them all having concerned looks upon their faces as they worry about their newest friend.

Tom woke with a start and opened his eyes, but all he saw was darkness. The only bit of light was that just above his head. He was alone and on instinct he called out for Twilight, her friends and Luna yet there was no answer. Sighing deeply he thought about what might have happened and how he got here but nothing to his memory coincided with what might have put him in this dark space.

Shortly the sound of clopping hooves came from one direction. Picking up on this he turned his head and squinted into the black, still he could see nothing. "Who's there? Luna? Twilight? Rainbow Dash?" Still nothing was said, only the sound of hooves hitting a hard surface, getting closer.

The clopping soon stopped and even in the darkness he could feel a presence before him. A dark blue hoof extended out into the light. Tom stepped back as a muzzle game into the light. followed by the other hoof, as the body appeared it was then he was looking upon an alicorn. The larger pony stood nearly as tall as Tom did. The tip of his nose coming just shy of the human's own. The Alicorn's mane flowed in a gentle ethereal breeze and reminded the human of a silver mist. Once their eyes connected it was then that he knew just where he had seen that face before. "You're... you're Lunar Star aren't you?"

"Indeed I am young human though that is only half correct. I am also you, for you and I are one in the same. You need not fear where you are. For all practical reasons you are still within Luna's tent resting." The stallion spoke with a deep voice that held a great pride in what he said.

"But then why am I here? I should be out there where they need me...us." The stallion held out his hoof to stop the human.

"This talk was long overdue Tom or would you prefer Star? The memories that you have been having are those of a life we once lived, back when we were both feared and respected." The stallion held out a hoof. "Please sit."

Tom sat where he was and looked upon the male Alicorn that sat before him. He was not sure what to make of all this, so much had happened to him so fast that he was starting to wonder if this indeed was a dream.

"There is much that you do not know so I am here to fill in the gaps. As I said, you and I are one in the same. Without me there is no you and without you there is no me. After the unfortunate events the day before the Panther War ended the spirit that was us was sent across the cosmos through what is called a Galactic Ley Line. It was this invisible stream of energy that brought us to Earth. There we searched for a vessel, a body to hose our spirit. Once one was selected that was when you were created. You are representation of myself in human form. Up until recently you have no knowledge of Equestria aside from your world has created or thought they created. You are part of this world. Tell me, have you ever felt that something out there was calling to you but you could not tell where it was coming from?"

Tom nodded.

"That was because of Tia. She missed us so much that her thoughts carried across time and space to reach us. But it was not just her, Equestria was calling us home. Don't you see, our home on Earth was never our real home. Why else would you feel things that no one else could? Were it not for Earth's geo-stasus, you would have had immense magical powers."

The human sat and tried his best to take everything he was told in. It was hard to believe but everything that he said made sense. He had felt an odd pull against himself for years but could never tell just whom or what was calling out to him. "So if what you are saying is true, what do we do?"

---

It was dusk by the the human stirred slowly and opened his eyes. All around him were the faces of his friends and Luna. He smiled softly to them before he tried slowly to sit up, the pain of being in one spot for so long made him groan. "We have got to stop meeting like this." This made the girls giggle but Luna had no idea what he meant.

"Are thou alright Lunar?" Tom nodded.

"I think so. The pain is gone and somehow I feel, different."

"Different how, you still look like the same dirty stallion to me."

"Rainbow! Shame on you. You know what he is going through and still you have time to rip on him." Rarity scolded.

Tom chuckled a bit. "It's ok Rarity. To be honest I feel... complete somehow. My memories I remember it all now, everything. The night Tia and I shared that night so long ago. The time when the three of us were foals. Even... even Queen Solaris and King Evening Star."

Luna gasped. Twilight on the other hoof being whom she was just had to ask. "Who are they?" It was at this the he smiled.

"I think the one you should ask is Luna."

The six friends looked to the night princess with eager stares. Luna being whom she was softly cleared her throat before speaking. "They are Celestia's and our parents. They took Lunar in after the raid upon the village in which he lived. But if thou recalls them then dose that mean...."

Tom nodded. "Yes Luna, my memory has been restored along with my powers. You will no longer have to worry about me passing out after using so much of it." It was then that the humans hands lit up in a purple-ish haze and the sun slowly sank into the horizon. Luna's horn glowed and the moon again began to slowly make its way across the sky. "Brave friends, would thou excuse us, we would like to speak with Sir Lunar in private."

The six friends nodded there heads before departing to their own. Once the last of them were out of sight, the night princess threw herself upon the human and embraced his, hiding her face into his chest.

"Dear Luna, what has gotten into you all of a sudden?" He embraced her and held the dark alicorn close.

She said nothing at first but just relished into the warmth he provided. She then looked up to him. "For sometime we have been unsure that thou would ever truly be our truest friend. When we saw thee fall that day so long ago we were certain that thou would be gone forever and we would never see thee again."

"Oh little sister, you know that can never be true. Nothing is ever gone forever so long as they live here." He pointed to he heart. "But yet I am here now before you. I know you may have doubted if I would ever truly be whom I was..."

"But we should not have, T'was not right of us to think..." Tom placed a finger to her muzzle to silence her.

"It may not have been but it was and I do not fault you because of your feelings. I am here Luna, Like I told your sister, I don't intend on going anywhere anytime soon so get used to it."
