Kyra

Kyra burst through the door of Azure's house.

"UNBELIEVABLE!" she yelled. She spotted Derpy, who was still sitting in the same spot. "You didn't move?"

"You said not to go anywhere." said Derpy.

"I meant to leave the house." said Kyra. "You could have slept upstairs in the bedroom for all I care."

"So, how did your trip go?" Derpy asked, standing up.

"Terrible." said Kyra. "My plans have changed dramatically."

"Plans?" asked Derpy.

Kyra eyed her. "I guess I can tell you. No pony believes you anyways." Kyra sat on the couch. "Many years ago I was part of a small village near Manehattan. Back then I went by the name of Amber. I had no friends due to my unnatural abilities to manipulate things with my mind. Since I wasn't a Unicorn, ponies called me a freak. They all ignored me. One day they...." Kyra stopped and took a deep breath.

"What did they do?" Derpy asked.

She was really curious to find out about Kyra's past.

"They all had it in their minds that I was the devil inside a pony's body. So they attempted to get rid of me by setting my house on fire." A small gasp escaped Derpy's lips. "As I was burning I heard a voice. It said that it could help me if I was willing to trade. So, I agreed. Amber died in that fire... and Kyra was born. I did what the voice told me to do."

"What did it say?" asked Derpy.

"Burn down my village and the adjacent villages."

"I heard about that." said Derpy. "The Great Fire". That was you."

"Oh, it was great, all right. And from that moment on I vowed that I would make every pony share my pain. Friends were not an option. Years passed and I was suddenly being tracked by the princess' Royal Guard. Celestia and Luna used the Elements Of Harmony to imprison me. Ever since then I vowed to kill the ones who controlled the Elements' power."

"The princesses." said Derpy.

"That's what I thought." said Kyra. "It seems that Celestia has passed the power over to Twilight and the others." She let out a laugh. "All this time, I could have killed them."

"This is bad." Derpy whispered.

Kyra got up off the couch and headed over to Derpy.

"You will tell no pony, right?"

Derpy gulped. "Right."

"Good girl." said Kyra smiling. "Now follow my instructions carefully. I have a plan to get those ponies alone."

"I-I-I don't know if I can." said Derpy, taking a step back.

Kyra's eyes narrowed. Vines shot up through the floor and wrapped themselves around Derpy's legs. More vines circled around and held Derpy's front legs upwards, suspending her in mid-air. The vines tightened their grasp.

"Haven't you learned your lesson yet?" Kyra asked. "Now you can obey, or I can plunge some of these vines down your throat and tear you apart from the inside out. So what do you say?" Derpy nodded, tears in her eyes. "Good." said Kyra, the vines retracting back into the ground. Derpy fell to the floor. "Now here's what I want you to do..."
