In a cabin somewhere in the far outskirts of Death City, Neighvada, a black, unicorn mare with is screaming her head off in pain, and is gripping her sheets causing them to tear.

"CRONA!!!! Get in here with those cold towels, NOW," the mare screaming out her demand. Crona, a very thin earth-pony with very pale pink lemonade colored hair, rushed to the mare with a large container of ice cold water that has numerous washcloths in the water and many more dangling from the sides.

"Y-yes Lady Medusa," Crona said as she placed the container by the bed and pushes the cloths on the sides into the water.

"Well? Don't just stand there," Medusa exclaimed. "Check on the oncoming foals," she ordered Crona.

"Yes Lady Medusa," Crona said as it lifted the covers and quickly looked for any signs.

"Well," Medusa asked in anger.

"I-it's crowning, Lady Medusa," Crona said getting a blanketed basket ready.

"Good. Now stay there as I can handle this by myself," Medusa said as she begins to breathe and push and scream very loudly.After a few minutes of pushing a foal begins to cry and using her magic as her horn glows Medusa cuts its cord.

"It's a colt Lady Medusa," Crona says as it cleans and puts it in a blanket.

"Excellent. Now get ready for the other one," she ordered.

"Y-yes ma'am," Crona said as it moved the newborn colt to one side of the basket. Medusa begins to breathe and scream again.

"Blast his eyes and his scars. He'll pay for doing this to me," Medusa exclaimed as the second foal is born and she cuts the cord and Crona wraps it in a blanket.

"A-another colt Lady Medusa," Crona said quietly.

"Excellent," Medusa said getting a snake-like smile. "Bring them to me so I can see who will be my experiment," she ordered. Crona nodded and brought the basket to her mistress. Medusa examines the foals and points to the one on the left of the basket with her hoof. "This one," she said. "Take it to the lab and have it ready to be examined, now," Medusa ordered as she gives the basket to Crona.

"W-what of the other one, Lady Medusa," Crona asked.

"It is no concern of mine. Do whatever you see fit," She said as the mare gets up from the bed.

"Y-yes ma'am," Crona said as it takes the foal Medusa had picked to the laboratory, and then takes the other to it's own room. "I-I don't know how to deal with this right now," Crona said as it looks at the lone colt and notices that it has an arrow pattern going down it's body and legs. "Your'e like her. You're like our mother," Crona said. "Now how can I get rid of you? Lady Medusa will never allow me to care for you," Crona told the colt. Suddenly the colt begins to cry. "Crona! Silence that little lout," Medusa ordered as she examines the colt she chose. "Y-yes Lady Medusa," Crona said as it covers the colt's mouth. The colt slowly quiets down and eventually stops, and holds Crona's hoof. Crona stopped and stared at the colt, not knowing what to do now. "I-I know! I'll take you to the city and leave you at a stairway of a house and they'll adopt you," Crona said as it picks up the basket and heads out of the Medusa's home, leaving a note explaining to her mistress/mother what she is doing to remove the un-selected colt.

Crona begins to look around the city for any building with the lights on. “Don’t worry little one. I’ll find someone to take care of you,” Crona said as it sees a building with closed curtains, but the lights were on, making it stick out like a sore thumb among the others. "Perfect. Maybe they'll take you," Crona said as it puts the basket at the door, and leaves a card to inform the pony that the colt's name is Talex, and it's in need of a loving home. "Bye bye little guy," Crona said as it ran back to Medusa's laboratory.

"So," Medusa asked. "Did you get rid of the other one," Medusa asked again.

"Y-yes Lady Medusa," Crona said.

"Good. Now go to bed. I must work on the colt in silence, understood," Medusa asked.

"Yes ma'am," Crona said as it trotted to it's room.

Back in Death City the mare of the house Crona knocks at gets up and answers the door.

"H-hello, who's there," the mare asked as she opens the door and looks around to see who knocked. As she stepped out a little and she feels something rub her hoof. The mare looks looks down to see the sleeping Talex. "Oh my goodness," the mare exclaims but covers her mouth quickly and picks up the basket and reads the note. "You poor dear. Lets get you inside," the mare said as she carries the basket in, and puts it on a coffee table. "Now where can you sleep," the mare asked herself as she watches the little colt. "Okay, Marie. You can handle this," she says to herself as she carries the foal to her room. "Let's try a clothes basket," Marie says as she gets an empty clothes basket and puts a couple of pillows in it, and gently lays the sleeping Talex in the basket and covers him in a new blanket. "There we go," Marie says as she kisses the foal on the head. "Goodnight Talex. Sweet dreams," Marie says as she gets in bed and turns off the lights.
