Equestira is filled with many legends, some filled with great and valiant heroes, while others and filled with dark and malicious villains. But one is different for they were thought of as both, but not to three Alicorns in particular. For on this day they have traveled to their old castle in the Everfree Forest. They walked to the back courtyard where they have kept a garden alive using their almost divine magic, as well as crafted a small crystal temple that glowed in the moon light. Within the temple was an altar of black ivory with an old leather book bound in bronze and a blazing brazier to the right of the altar.

From their saddle bags they each pulled out a ripened piece of fruit and small cake then placed it into the fire so that the one it was offered to can taste them as well. As their offering burned they could not help but let tears fall from their muzzles knowing full well who they are honoring here.

"This never gets any easier each year," said the sun goddess known as Celestia.

"I know sister, and with the celebration coming up it feels like insult to injury, just another reminder that he is gone….forever," said the night goddess Luna.

The third Alicorn that was with them chose to remain silent. She had a bright green coat that matched her eyes, mane and tail that looked as if it was made of pure wind and her cutiemark was of a spiraling tornado. Her name was Gale Force Wind and she was the mother of the two rulers and also a frequent visitor to this temple for it was dedicated to her first and only student. She made a vow to never take on another so long as she still drew breath because she knew that she could never be as close like with him as with others.

"Do not weep any further my daughters, for we disgrace his memory with our tears. He would scold us if he were still for dwelling on the past, and would want us to keep looking forward. We must remember him for the good that he did," Gale said.

They nodded and turned to take their leave, but their thoughts remained on the event that changed their lives, the night they lost their dearest friend.

The next day in Canterlot Castle

A certain purple unicorn was rifling through the castle library in search of something that she had just read in a book about Equestrian legends. A whole chapter containing something about a being she never heard of called the, Fallen Angel of Equestria.

"Spike, did you find anything yet," Twilight hollered, causing her young dragon assistant to fall off the latter and for books to fall on him.

"Oh thank you Spike," she said pulling the out of his claw and started to flip through it until she found what she was looking for.

"The Fallen Angel of Equestria: Long ago, a being appeared from another world, one that even the rulers did not know existed. This being was of pure heart for they were able to befriend the two princesses and their mother.

In turn the queen had taught this being as her apprentice and became a great wind magic user and able to control the four cardinal winds at will and created the forbidden art of magic know as Incantations.

He was also known as the princesses Guardian Angel, for they protected them from those who wished to do harm to them.

But on the night when Princess Luna was about to be consumed in darkness, their Guardian let the darkness consume them instead and demanded Celestia to seal them with the darkness on the moon forever. With a heavy heart, Celestia did just that with Elements of Harmony. It was then that they decided to create the Blue Moon Celebration to honor their memory for the sacrifice that was made that night.

But many pony saw this celebration as an act of Paganism for they see it as worshiping an evil being who took the darkness by force to use to enslave Equestria, which is why many wear or use silver to word off the evil spirit of the Fallen Angel for they believe that they will return on the anniversary of the event."

"Fallen Angel, but that's just an old pony tail," Spike said, but Twilight wasn't convinced.

"Come on Twi, you don't really believe in angels do you, their just stuff of legends."

"Spike, take a letter," Twilight said, Spike taking out a scroll and quill, ever really to write. "It has come to my attention that with the Blue Moon Celebration coming up I have reason to believe that Fallen Angel might be returning to Equestria."

Spike stopped writing and looked at her in disbelief. "Really Twilight, what proof do you have that could possibly prove that was true," Spike said.

"There have been fluctuations in the magical field Spike, the sudden magical spikes that have been occurring all over Equestria this past month. Only something with great power other than an Alicorn can cause something like that to happen, it's obvious signs that something is going to happen, now keep writing. Anyway, the constant fluctuations are no doubt a sign of his return and I suggest that we prepare for the worst to happen; I wait for your decision, your student Twilight Sparkle."

The Road to Ponyville

Spike tried to suppress his laughs at the fact that the princesses and the queen had assigned her to go to Ponyville to make some friends and enjoy the celebration. To say that she was annoyed would be the biggest understatement of year for her teacher; Princess Celestia had doubted her in an important matter that she was taking very seriously.

"Come on Twilight, what's the harm in having a little fun for once. You needed to get of that library any, you were starting to become a shut-in," Spike said.

"I don't have time to make friends Spike; I have to find out more information on the Fallen Angel," Twilight huffed.

"Well, lucky for you the princess made arrangements for us to stay in a library while we're here," Spike said.

"Perfect, I'll be able to look for the information that I'm looking for and maybe talk some sense into the Princess into taking some precautions for Equestria."

Spike rolled his eyes, wishing that he hadn't mentioned that to her. He really wished that she would just lighten up for once and try to relax instead of always working to try and please her teacher. He sometimes wondered if she had some sort of crush on the sun princess and that all her hard word would impress her enough to get her to like her or something, he laughed inwardly at that idea.

They arrived at a tall Oak tree that was hollowed out to be the library of the town and immediately went to work, but most of the information that was found was all repetitive and gave them no further clues about the Fallen Angel. Info on his life previous to coming to Equestria or exactly what he did here that made him so special that he was taught the most sacred of wind magic.

"Face it Twilight, you were wrong about this and he is NOT coming back to Equestria, now come on the celebration is starting," Spike said while heading out the door.

Twilight let out a deep sigh, feeling utterly defeated and followed her young dragon outside where the townsfolk had already set everything up and began the festivities. She had to admit that it did look fun, seeing ponies enjoy themselves in games and festival food. She walked up to a booth where an orange earth mare wearing a Stanton was serving Blue Ice apple cider, a customary drink for this particular celebration.

"Hey there, names Applejack, don't think ah' ever saw you 'round Ponyville before, you new here or somethin'?" she said.

"Yes, I'm actually from Canterlot. The princess and the queen sent me here; it's actually my first time being in Ponyville," Twilight said.

"Well, let me be the first to welcome you here sugar cube, here have some cider, on the house," AJ said, pushing a mug in front of her. When she reached for she heard the sound of someone crash land behind the booth in a rainbow blur.

"Do you still have any left?" as a cyan Pegasus with a rainbow mane and tail.

"Sorry Rainbow Dash, but this one here got the last mug," AJ said, smirking a little like it was her plan all along to give that one away before she got there.

"You've got to have more, come on," Dash complained.

While they settled that amongst themselves Twilight took her leave and walked around the town while taking sips of her sweet drink. The town seemed to be more traditional then back in Canterlot, where the closes thing to a celebration worth celebrating was the Grand Galloping Gala or Hearts Warming Eve. But here it was like the Blue Moon Celebration was an important and very much looked forward to above all else. Twilight saw some stands selling moon cakes while others sell little lunar shaped necklaces that she just noticed that many were wearing.

"Would you like to buy one miss?" asked a stallion selling the necklaces.

"What are these for exactly?" Twilight asked, inspecting them more closely.

"They say that if the spirit of the Fallen Angel sees you wearing his mark, he will watch over you and keep you safe from those of black hearts. It's one of the traditions here in Ponyville because of the story behind it," he said, putting one around her neck. "This one is free since I can tell this is your first time here in the celebration."

The town went into an uproar near the square and when Twilight went to go see she saw Celestia, Luna and Gale Force had arrived. She didn't know why but she was happy to see them none the less. The sun goddess spotted her student and wave for her to come over.

"Hello my faithful student, enjoying yourself I see," Celestia said, pointing to necklace but when she looked at it she felt a wave of sadness come over her but did the best she could to hide it.

"It's just a little charm that a vender gave me, said something about it protecting the wearer or some or other. By the way, I wanted to ask something of you three. Is the story of your guardian actually true or is that really just an old pony tail?"

They exchanged glances between themselves, unsure of what to say to the knowledge hungry unicorn. In truth they didn't want to say anything about the matter altogether since it brought up things they don't share with any one. But they had to say something before she caught on.

"Well Twilight, what do you think on the matter? Do you think he is real or just an old pony tail?" Luna asked, effectively switching the question on her.

Before she could answer the sound of fight filled the air a group of ponies started to wreck booths and yank off the lunar necklaces off ponies' necks and beat down any that tried to fight back. These ponies in particular where wearing silver charms.

"What is the meaning of this, speak now," Gale Force said.

An elderly stallion approached, wearing multiple silver chains around his neck. "We are here to rid this town of this Pagan celebration, for it is worshiping a demon not a savior or angel," said the stallion.

This infuriated Luna to no end as he had just disrespected the anniversary to honor he late friend and savior. "How dare you say such narrow minded things you backwards good for nothing-" Celestia stopped her sister from speaking any further, shaking her head 'no'.

'Why sister, why must we stand here while he tarnishes his name?' Luna spoke mentally to her older sibling.

'We cannot expose the truth; we made a promise to him that we wouldn't. I am mad just as you are, believe me I am, but we must honor his request even in death,' Celestia said.

Luna wanted so badly so say something but bit her tongue and remained quiet.

The group of ponies continued to ruin everything, many of the ponies did fight back as they saw nothing wrong with what they were doing on this day. The fighting escalated until one pulled a knife and stabbed the stallion selling the necklaces, the instant that it happened, the twilight sky had started to fill with storm clouds, black lightning cracked the sky and gusts of wind blew violently through the town. All could feel the magic disturbance in the air, for it was strong and unnatural almost godlike really.

"Mother, this power is familiar do you feel it?" Luna asked.

"Yes, it is the same as a thousand years ago. But how is it free, the Elements should have kept it sealed forever," Gale Force said, worry audible in her tone.

An opening in the clouds formed and something fell from above, it was wrapped in wings that seemed to be made of the beautiful starry night sky. The massive wings opened, revealing a bipedal creature that was dressed in all black with a full moon emblem on its shirt. His hair was the color of pure darkness and his eyes were a deep draconic turquoise and archaic runes glowed on his arms and forehead. The stranger turned in the direction of the wounded stallion and kneeled down, putting his hand over the wound and let the ancient magic he possessed run into it healing them as good as new.

"No, it can't be true but he's standing right in front of me. The Fallen Angel of Equestria is real," Twilight said, noticing that all of Ponyville had bowed to him, their patron saint.

"The demon has risen, kill it and wipe the earth of its tainted magic," yelled the old stallion extremist. His followers pulled silver blades and charged, ready to kill this godlike being but he only looked at them with a slight amused look and snapped his finger, causing all of them to collapse instantly into a deep coma like sleep.

He took one step and collapsed himself, his body not having readjusted to Equestria after spending a whole millennium on the moon's surface. His starry night wings vanished, his black had brown, draconic eyes changing to a soft blue and the runes faded from his skin.

The rulers made their over to creature, smiling sadly. Knowing full well who this was and it was a dream come true for them. Gale Force leaned down and nuzzled his cheek.

"Welcome home Malcolm, my one and only student. We've missed you so much," she whispered into Malcolm's ear.

Before their subjects could start asking questions, they enveloped themselves and Malcolm in their magic and teleported back to Canterlot.

Malcolm's POV

I floated through the dark and endless void of emptiness that is within my mind. Wow, that sounded kind of emo even for me to say, but that's what I was doing right now. My body was wrapped in the ever present darkness that shared my body; no it didn't possess me or anything like that. In truth, I accepted this entity after many years of constant mental torture that I went through fighting it back. But it managed to finally break what little sanity I had left until I was nothing but an empty shell of what I used to be.

When it succeeded in shattering my mind, it started to actually nurse me back to health. Bringing back the pieces of my sanity, it felt alive and it let me know that as long as it was with me I was always safe, it just needed to break me then rebuild me so that I could be stronger. It started to teach me what it knew; countless eons of knowledge flowed into my brain and stored itself in a type of archive that I could access at will whenever I wanted. In a weird way, this darkness was my only company in banishment, but I still yearned for some form of interaction with anyone but I guess that was too much to ask. But the minute I felt the seal weaken on the moon I knew that my plead was answered and I broke seal holding me there on that god forsaken rock.

When I left the moon I blacked out for a while and the next thing I know I'm floating in this void, but soon a light starts to shine and as it grew brighter I knew I was walking up. Upon opening my eyes I found myself in a place I wasn't familiar with and felt something soft on my body. Looking at my sides I saw the mares that I never wanted to be the first I see when I came back, it was them the rulers of the sun and moon.

They were looking at me with such affection and tender love that even the most cold hearted of people would melt at the sight of it, but my heart is colder than that of lake Cocitus in hell so I couldn't swayed by this affection. Not from Celestia and especially not from Luna, of all ponies not her.

"You have no idea how much we've missed you Malcolm, we thought that we'd never see you again after what happened so long ago. But now you're back in our lives again and things can return to normal," Celestia said, holding me in her embrace with no intention of letting me go.

"Sister, don't have him all for yourself let me hold him too," Luna said, pouting like a child.

"No, I had Malcolm first; you have to wait your turn." When the hell did I become something for them to fight over?

"Girls, no fighting he is still weak and doesn't need to be overwhelmed or caught in the middle of it." That voice, it belonged to only one pony, one that took me under their wing and taught me so much of this world and about magic.

"Gale Force?" I asked, sitting up to see the green Alicorn making her way over to me.

"Hello my student," was all she said before kissing my forehead, something she always did in the old days.

In truth, I held no malice against her for she had nothing to do with what happened on the night of my banishment. All the blame falls only on her daughters, Celestia for not being there for her sister and Luna for letting herself be manipulated by the very darkness that now resides within me and enables me to use it's incredible power freely.

"You have not aged a day my student, it is rather curious as to why though. I don't ever recall making you immortal before the incident," Gale said. She fired up her horn and placed the tip against my heart for a moment before backing away in complete shock, eyes wide open in disbelief.

"You're soul; it has been imprinted with an enormous amount of energy. That could only me that-"

"He is immortal," Luna finished. She caught me off guard with a hug from behind, her head on my shoulder while she nuzzled my cheek. "This is wonderful, now we don't even have to lose you again isn't this great Malcolm?"

"NO, nothing about this is great to you stupid horse. I never asked to be immortal this is a fucking curse that has been put on me and it's horrible," I shouted.

The three mares jumped at my sudden outburst.

"Malcolm what's wrong?" Celestia asked. I stood and got in her face, frightening her with the intensity of the anger that has been building even since my torture started.

"You want to know what's wrong; you couldn't even begin to comprehend what the fuck is wrong with me. The shit that I went through and was forced to endure, just praying that someone would just fucking grant me mercy and kill me to make it all stop," I said.

They wouldn't understand no one could ever understand my suffering. Those who say that they can are idiots and wouldn't last three seconds if they were in my place, I know what a real hell feels like and no one can tell me that they understand.

I felt Luna's hoof on my shoulder and she looked at me with concern. I remembered that this was her fault, gripped her royal necklace and pinned her to the bed.

"You know something Luna; in all that time you could've tried and reached me out there since the moon is your heavenly body to control. Where were you when I needed someone to talk to, or needed a shoulder to cry on or god forbid some fucking company? You left me alone to deal with this darkness myself and you know what it sure as hell wasn't worth sacrificing myself to save you that night. If I had known that I was going to go through all that instead of just being killed by the Elements of Harmony, I wouldn't have freed you and just let it happen," I said.

Luna started crying, as if never realizing the damage that had been done from not doing what I said. But I wasn't done just yet with her.

"And you know something else," I said leaning down to her ear. "You just lost your only real friend, and it's your fault just like before."

The look of devastation was priceless and I made a mental photo of the whole thing before getting up to leave. But Luna just didn't know when things were over.

"Malcolm, I'm sorry please don't leave us, don't leave me. I was too stupid to not realize that I was so blessed to have you in my life before, and I want you to be in it now because….I love you. I have since the night you saved me from myself and I want to spend my immortal life with you and no one else. Please forgive me," she cried, but they fell on deaf ears.

"Too little too late princess, you had a thousand years and you blew it. This is goodbye," I said before activating my magic and teleporting away. Not before I heard her voice cry out to me.

Please Review if not that's cool too.

SaiyanUltima, let me know what you think and how I can make it better dude.
