Notes

The Silver Narrator was a silver five tailed fox. Many think he is just a myth but some have actually witnessed him. Those who have lived after seeing him dare not tell his story because he rather scared them. He grew a power when he was young. This power when he tells a story the people he is telling the story to get trapped in a dark realm where they have to face their fears. Some ponies could face their fears and survive but others were petrified in fear and couldn’t live any longer. Their minds were sent to a long dark hallway that led to a bright light at the end. One pony who loved Silver when he was little was at the beginning of the hallway and led other ponies astray in order for her to get back to the one she loved. Silver loved her too but he couldn’t do much and told her a story when he first awoke his power and she was so scared she got stuck in the hallway and made a deal with a beast to get her back to Silver.

Silver left his hometown and traveled along a traveler’s path telling his stories having ponies face their fears. When he found out what his stories were doing to ponies he stopped telling his stories for about 30 years and then he realised he could use his power for good and he started telling his stories to ponies who had done terrible things to other ponies such as murder and other things that broke the laws of equestria. If they had survived his stories and their fears they woke up in a prison knowing that they deserved to be there. Those who had not survived their fears he had buried their bodies in the Everfree Forest. He felt as though his stories were doing more good than bad. He was taking out murderers and rapists. His stories were saving lives at the same time they were taking lives.

One day he was walking and somepony hit him over the head and he was knocked out. The pony dragged him to a dark building and trapped him in a cage. When he woke up he saw a shadow outside of the cage. The kidnapper didn’t think about Silver’s claws and so he used his claw to pick the lock and he snuck out of the cage and towered over his kidnapper. He didn’t know what was going on until he tapped his kidnapper and the pony’s body fell over and Silver noticed the eyes of the pony were pure white and soulless. When he noticed this he realized his kidnapper had failed at facing his fears. Silver had to hide the body somewhere. He looked outside and he knew were he was. He was in Ponyville. Being night time there were no ponies walking around the town. He carried the body to the Everfree Forest and buried the pony.

He headed back to the odd house he had woken up in and he cleared out the cage and everything that didn’t fit. Silver then sat down in a windowless room and sat down. He thought to himself “If I was knocked out how did he go into the fearscape?” He then realized that while he was out cold he was telling a story in his sleep and he must have been talking in his sleep. He then noticed a tape recorder and he started to play the tape and it had recorded the Silver sleeping and nothing was playing no sound at all but the sounds of the kidnapper walking back and forth. “So I didn’t tell a story in my sleep? I guess my fearscape isn’t cast onto ponies from his stories.” Just then he heard his voice on the tape recorder and it said “Fearscape.” He then realised that every time he told a story he had always said that word and then everypony that had heard his stories had gone into the fearscape.

He then realized that he could use this power at without telling stories. Silver found a piece of paper and wrote down the word. He had to go talk to Twilight about what was happening. The next morning he went to Twilight’s Castle up the road and knocked on the door. Twilight answered the door and Silver introduced himself and asked if she could help him with something. Twilight nodded and allowed Silver to enter the castle. Silver had given twilight the piece of paper and told her what would happen when he said the word. Twilight’s eyes grew wide and she gasped. “That sounds like magic, but how does a fox have magic?” Twilight asked.

“Where i came from magic didn’t come from unicorns it came from words, but nopony has had this strong of word magic. I am the only one who can make ponies face their fears. Those who face their fears and survive become so scared they don’t want to go near any other pony. Those who don’t survive their eyes become a pure white and the bodies become soulless.” Silver replied. “and with the soulless bodies I bury them. Unlike most murderous ponies i have dignity enough to bury the bodies. I don’t mean to kill but it just happens sometimes” Silver’s ears went flat in sorrow.

Twilight seemed surprised. She then realised that she wanted to see what this word magic was about. “Do you know what town you were born in?” she asked. “I would like to learn more about this word magic. In order for me to learn more about it I have to visit the town you were born in.” As Twilight looked at Silver she was surprised when he shook his head. She then looked at him surprised again. There weren’t any books in the library that talked about word magic or foxes that use the word magic.

“It’s been thirty years since I’ve been there, and I don’t think that it would help for you to go to the town I was born in. It was full of ponies me and my parents were the only foxes in town I don’t know where my parents came from.” Silver said to Twilight as he turned around. “If you find anything about my word magic let me know, but for now I need to get going. I’ll probably stop by again in a few days. Later Twilight.” He started to walk out of the castle and back to the house he was staying in. When he got back to the house he pulled a picture out of his bag and looked at it with tears rolling down his cheek.

The photo was of the pony he loved when he was little. He wondered if she loved him too. He then placed the photo next to his bed. He then said to himself “I wish Steph was here.” Silver started to cry and while he was crying he started to fall asleep. He then fell asleep and his mind started to deteriorate. While he was asleep there was a knock on the door and he woke up to the knock thinking it was Twilight. Turns out it was somepony that knew the last pony that was living in the house and when he found out what happened to him and he pulled a knife on Silver and just then when Silver saw the knife he didn’t bother to tell a story he just straight up said “Fearscape” and the pony with the knife dropped the knife and started to face his fears.

After about an hour the pony’s eyes turned pure white and the body fell over as if it was an empty shell of the pony. Silver had taken the body to the basement and waited till night so he could take the body to the Everfree Forest to bury it. Silver had told himself at that very moment he would only use that word as a last resort of self defence. After burying the body and heading back to the house he then fell asleep. After a few more months and after Twilight had learned as much as she could about the word magic, Silver had used the word about ten more times and hadn’t used it very much. He then heard a knock on the door and he was scared that he would have to use the word again.

Silver hesitated to open the door but when he did he had dropped the coffee cup he had in his paw when he saw a beautiful light purple pegasus with a blue and gold mane and tail. Tears rolled down his face as he saw the filly he had loved when he was little and first found out about his word magic. The mare who stood before him was Steph Flair. Steph smiled at him and said, “It’s good to see you again after almost thirty one years Silver. I survived my fears. My fear was not being with you, the fox I love.” Tears rolled down Steph’s cheeks and she hugged him. Silver closed the door and asked her if she would live with him. Steph then nodded and said “I don’t have anywhere else to go. My family thinks I died all those years ago, they don’t even know what had happened.”

Silver smiled and lead Steph up to the bed and they both layed down and fell asleep. The next morning Silver had told steph that he had to go to work. Twilight had used her magic to make it so that he could only use the word as a last result of self defence after he had told her about the pony that attacked him only mere months ago. He had gone to Twilight’s Castle to start reading stories for little foals and fillies. When he had finished the day at work he had gotten his paycheck and smiled as it was large enough to get his new roommate a surprise gift. Silver went to a jewelry store in Ponyville and had bought a beautiful ring for Steph. He then went home and gave it to Steph and he had asked her to marry him and she shook her head nodding and she said yes.

Silver had introduced Steph to everypony including Twilight and he then told Twilight that they were going to get married and Twilight was surprised. She had never heard of an interspecies marriage. Twilight had then realised that she now had the power to marry ponies and she had offered to be the one to wed them. Both Silver and Steph had nodded in agreement. Silver then asked “Would Celestia be able to attend? There is something I need to ask her.” Twilight then nodded. Silver then asked for a few weeks off from work. The princess had agreed and sent the two on their way back home.

Neither one of them knew that with the events of the past thirty one years they had been given the gift of immortality. Silver’s tails were growing in length he made sure to keep his hair at a certain length. Steph had started growing as well. They both were just about ready for the wedding. Steph had gotten a beautiful dress from Rarity and Silver got an amazing suit from Rarity as well. The day of the wedding the two had gone to the castle and Silver stood by the princess at the end of the throne room and Celestia had stood next to Twilight and Silver himself. As Fluttershy’s birds started to sing Steph started to walk down the throne room.

After a few months someponies knew of the interspecies marriage and were disgusted by it. Those ponies came to Silver and Steph’s home and tried to kill one of the two. Every Time somepony came to try and kill one of them Silver always retaliated using the word Fearscape. Whenever he was about to use the word he signaled Steph and she covered her ears and the intruding ponies always went into their fearscape and those who survived when and flead never to disturb the happy couple. One day Celestia came over to talk to Silver and he asked her what she knew about the word magic he holds. She knew nothing more than Twilight. Knowing that he had a new kind of magic and that his wife didn’t have the same magic and yet they came from the same town.

Celestia knew that the only way to learn about this magic was to do tests on the subjects when they are told the one word. Knowing this Celestia offered Silver a job so that ponies could learn about his word magic. The only bad part about it was they would have to move to Canterlot. Celestia would give them a brilliant wonderful new home to call their own. Silver and Steph nodded and started to pack their belongings and headed to Canterlot and their new home. When they arrived in Canterlot they were lead to their new home by a royal guard. When they arrived at their new home they noticed there were guards at every entrance. When they entered they finally felt safe from ponies wanting to kill one of them. After they had unpacked everything Silver had to go to the lab in the castle. Silver noticed there was a soundproof room with a pony within and there was a window on one side of the room and the pony within had nodes leading to a computer outside the room and Silver was lead inside the room and instructed to speak his magic word on the pony that had murdered many ponies.

When the murderous pony was sent into his fearscape the ponies at the computer started to watch what was going on inside his fearscape and they watch the murderer die within his fearscape. After they took the husk of a pony out of the room they brought in an innocent pony that had done nothing wrong in their life and i was told to send them into the fearscape and he did the pony was able to survive their fearscape. The ponies at the computers were surprised and they took down everything in their notes. Silver was then given a check with a large number of bits on it. He was surprised at the amount of money he was given. The very next day Celestia came over to Silver and Steph’s home.

Celestia told Silver that his word magic only sent ponies that had done wrong in their past to their deaths and that innocent ponies that had done nothing wrong all their lives would survive. That very same day when Silver went to work they brought a pony that everypony thought had done nothing wrong all their life was sent into their fearscape and the pony started to face her fears of being beaten and suffocated and mutilated and killed. The ponies behind the computer were terrified and then they noticed that the pony had died like the murderous pony had and the ponies asked Silver what he thought. Silver looked at them and sighed “Well, when he was sent into his fearscape I saw that he had killed in his past it may have been an accident but he had kill another pony.” They all thought the pony was a innocent pony. The rest of two years he was employed by the royal lab. They remained in Canterlot being able to have the guards protecting them. Celestia managed to visit them at least once a week. One day after his contract with the lab had expired Celestia had asked for his help when the pony that had helped him back in ponyville Twilight had murdered somepony and Celestia wanted Twilight to be exposed to her own fearscape and Silver sent Twilight into her fearscape in sorrow not wanting to hurt her.not even an hour later Twilight had not survived her fearscape and was now a hollow husk of a pony.
