A Hundred Years Later-> (Before the New arrivals appeared~)
We see Noir, now more serious, less… spirited than before. He had his sword on his left side, always ready to strike. He held a rabbit on his right hand, dead.
'Mmhmm, rabbit soup for dinner, I've been waiting to use those new herbs I found…' Noir continued his journey…
We now see him arriving at a small cabin, surrounded by circling trees. He entered, placed the dead rabbit on the table and unsheathed his sword. He placed it on the wall, and took the dead rabbit outside…
He manifested a small knife made from fire. He used it to cut the rabbit, removing the blood and organs, and taking the meat. He used the snow to preserve the meat while he got a fire going.
After adding the needed herbs and spices, using water magic for… water, he slowly added the rabbit meat in. The aroma was out of this world to Noir, "mmm~ killing that dragon to get this was worth it." He said. He took a small wooden spoon and started to taste it, grinning as he added more pepper
….
We see Noir outside, sitting on a wooden chair, cleaning his sword.
*Shing*
The metal was grazed with the smooth stone once more, "hmm, what should I do now? Make more furniture? Another Cabin? I already have a few guest rooms for unlucky visitors…"
*Sighs*
Noir stood up and looked towards the forest, looking up while saying, "tomorrow is the anniversary… the day I got stuck here… heh… hyper-like memory… always come in handy…" he laughed a bit more before heading inside his cabin…
As he placed his sword back where it belonged, he went up to his desk and glanced at his Journal.
"Hmm, you always were by my side, keeping me sane, helping me keep my experiences alive, my memories intact, I wonder what I would do if I couldn't look back… maybe… someone else would find this… use my entry's as a good starting point to this… forest." Noir went to his bed and drifted off to sleep, exhausted from today's work…
…..
Noir woke up in the middle of the night, hearing a loud screeching.
*Screech!!!*
*Groans*
"Can't those sh*ts shit up?" He got from
His bed and headed towards the doors. He took his sword, and made a small light from his palm.
He exited his cabin and went towards the location of the screech…
When he arrived, he could only show no emotion. He saw a Crawler eating away at an unfortunate victim, his body was wide open, no organs, blood all over the place. He looked to be a middle-aged man, around 35-40 years old. He might've had a family but got unlucky…
"Wonder how he got here… the White Door? The Forest appearing in his view? Blinking and waking up here? Oh… rest in peace man…" Noir burned the body, hoping to attract more Crawlers…
Noir successfully lured more in. He grinned like a predator who found his new toys~
"Alright you crawly bast*rds, like Sun-Wukong once said "Come at me! All of you!"" Noir tainted the Crawlers.
*Screech!!!*
A few lunged at Noir, but he was prepared. He summoned a few light spears and dived them into the monsters heads.
*Thump*
A few bodies were seen laying dead on the now blood-like snow. The night was supposed to be hell for others, but for Noir? It was only a mild setback. More Crawlers screamed at Noir and lunged at him, moving faster than before. Noir anticipated every move they made, chopping limb after limb. Many backed away, and Noir killed the last one near him, absorbing all their souls into his sword. The sword shined brightly, and Noir wasn't done yet.
Some Crawlers ran, while others continued their attack. He yawned, as moved his sword where it sliced another Crawler in half. The rest ran away, and Noir stood proud of himself.
"Welp," he placed the sword back into its sheath, "another night, another one dead…" Noir showed no emotions whatsoever and walked away from the site, knowing the Crawlers would come back and consume the corpses of their fallen comrades…
As Noir made it back to his Cabin, he saw that he forgot to close the door…
"Sh*T!" Noir ran inside, seeing the inside of the Cabin look normal. He was confused, but looked around, thinking a monster had hidden to surprise him. And he looked, and looked, and nothing…
*Phew!*
Noir went back and closed the door, locking it, shutting the window blinds, and heading off to bed, but not before placing his sword away…
As he drifted to sleep, he began to dream of them again..
In Noir's Dreamscape->
We see Noir, smiling, tears falling out as he hugged his friends, who hugged him back.
"So? Care to explain why you're hugging us?" Zack asked.
"Yeah… I just-just had a bad dream… I love you guys…" Noir continued to hug Luna and Zack.
*Giggles*
"We love you as well Noir, and hey? While we're having an emotional moment, wanna get some burgers? We can talk about this "dream" of yours, Noir." Luna suggested.
"Hehe, yeah sure, burgers sound great. You in Zack?" Noir glanced at Zack.
"Dude! You know I would never miss a day when Luna would pay for me~" Zack got up.
"WHA-HEY! I AM NOT PAYING FOR 5 BURGER SETS AGAIN!" Luna pouted at Zack.
"Aww, come on, we know you love to treat us, LuLu~" Zack teased Luna.
"WAIT- OH YOU LITTLE!" Luna started to grab Zack's hair which made him yell in pain.
*Laughs*
Noir laughed as the duo were bickering around as children..
In the Real World->
We see Noir crying in his sleep, dreaming of his friends and their times together… they were happy times, peaceful times… times he would never come back to…
…..
Somewhere in Heaven and in Canterlot Castle… a White Door would appear…
(A/N: HOHO!! HAVE FUN!!!)
