Chapter 1

I walked on all fours, I was wearing an enchanted amulet around my neck to give me the appearance of a pony, I had a long red mane with yellow tips, and a light yellow coat . I walked along other ponies, they mostly holding umbrellas in their hooves for the upcoming storm the Pegasus were pulling in. I got many strange looks by the colorful ponies since I wasn't comfortable walking on all fours in such a way, but the disguise worked none the less. Everyone, or, everypony in Ponyville was making their way to the Town Hall, preparing to witness the hanging on two criminals, while I was going to witness the execution of the only two who made any sense in that crazy realm.

After I turned a corner, I became overwhelmed with horror when I saw the light yellow mare with a short, spiky ruby red mane, with electric blue tips and a light yellow coat along with the solid white wolf standing on the stage, with nooses around their necks.

As my heart raced, the world seemed to move by extremely slow, and I started feeling a little nauseous and dizzy, but I still kept moving forward toward the stage, even though my body felt extremely heavy and I was trembling every step.

To my amazement, I saw three small fillies, cheerfully making their way down the road following the crowd, unaware of the the events taking place.

I quickly moved in front of them ignoring the sickness I was feeling, and stopped them in their tracks.

"You don't wanna come here." I said softly.

"Well why not? Everypony else is." The yellow filly with a bow in her mane asked me.

"It's not something you want to see, not even the grown ups really want to see it." I said smiling. "Now do yourselves a favor and play somewhere far away from here for a while."

The trio considered it for a moment, and to my surprize, they listened to me and trotted away. I sighed in relief and continued to grudgingly make my way to the stage.

When I came up to the stage, I could hardly stand up and I was trying my hardest to keep my foggy mind clear so I could focus on what was happening.

For a minute or two, I blacked out and my body kinda just stood there, I didn't collapse to the ground but I fell into a deep sleep, but jerked my head up, and now on the stage was from what I could tell, Princess Celestia, I was only able to make out her waving rainbow hair with my blurred vision.

I squinted my eyes to see as well as possible, but again, I blacked out for a few more minutes, no pony seemed to notice, everyone was focusing on the stage instead.

When she started speaking and I was awake again, I could only faintly hear it mixed in with a loud ringing noise in my ears.

"You... Accused... Pony sacrificing... Forbidden magic... Deny?" Was all I could make out.

"Plead... Fifth." I heard the mare say.

"I don't... Deny anything... We did..." The wolf replied.

I became frustrated with the lack of functioning, so I pulled up my front leg and bit down on it as hard as I could, shocking my body long enough to keep my mind focussed and able to listen.

"Your crimes are punished only with the most severe punishments. Death." The princess announced sternly.

As I watched my two friends be forced to walk towards the edge of the stage by Princess Celestia's magic and the rope was secure, my vision started to fade, and my hearing started to be fuzzy again.

The moment my white wolf friend took the step off the edge with a smirk on his face with the mare in mid air, deciding to take a jump off the stage, my mind went totally frozen for a moment, and then, my entire life flashed before my very eyes...
