Glory On The Side

Draken stood on top the stage, spreading fear through the crowd of equines. A stallion guard stood place on the side of the stage.

  “Bring him out.” The guard pushed forward Thunder, sending him wobbling onto the stage. Draken smiled, showing his complimentary fangs. He raised his left claw. “This is the stallion that has been sentenced to death!” A random buck in the crowd spoke up immediately.

   “That is the captain of the guard! This is mutiny to the king!” Draken growled behind his teeth.

   “NO! This is mutiny to YOU! If anybody would care to remember the first law of this kingdom!” A few random equines all stood immediately to this request.

  “Obey the king!” “Obey the king’s oders!” Draken smiled again, satisfied.

“EXACTLY! This is upon king’s orders!” He screamed, lifting Thunder above his head. Thunder looked to his right, and saw a noose. He panicked.

“Upon what grounds!?!” Draken frowned.

“BETRAYEL!!” Rainbow Dash shrunk back upon hearing the word. She felt a comforting hoof on her back, and relaxed knowing that the Doctor was still by her side. Draken continued. “This stallion is guilty in the crime of ASSISTING THE DOCTOR!” Rainbow squeaked, knowing she would be put to death immediately if she was caught with The Doctor. Draken saw a guard next to him putting the stool in place. “WHAT SAY YOU?!” He asked the crowd, lifting Thunder higher. The entire crowd started to mumble about who the ‘Doctor’ was. Draken let out a growl before placing Thunder on the stool.

“The Doctor! The one we all must kill on SIGHT!” A buzzing sound played on several speakers surrounding the stage. Dash looked beside her and saw, not the doctor, but Griffon. He looked at her with an annoyed expression.

  “WHAT!? He told me to make sure you didn’t get into trouble!” Draken roared furiously at the sound covering his ears, enabling Thunder to get to a safer spot. A British voice boomed over the loud speakers.

“Yes kill is a good word, but have you tried…” The Doctor jumped out from behind the stage curtains. “FEAR?”
