I always wanted to go to Equestria. I mean, it looked so peaceful in the show. And the abundance of happiness and friendliness always appealed to me, having lacked much of that growing up.

I'll say one thing, though. It's not easy to make true friends when you are a hideous monster, bound to a weapon with an unquenchable thirst for souls and no regard for any living creatures.

Now I'm stuck here, in a world quite unlike how I envisioned, and with no choice but to fight to survive. At least the sword is content to let me keep myself, as long as I give it what it desires.
