Work. Everypony has a job that they do and some love it; it’s usually their special talent or reflects it.
"Edge you’re late, where the hell have you been!?"
Except me; I hate my job. It's 8 straight hours of getting yelled at, and standing around like a statue while stuck up nobles scoff at you.
"Sorry sir, I overslept" I stepped forward, lazily yawning. "Damnit, Edge. What am I gonna do with you? This is the third time you've been late! And I hear you left your post the other day for doughnuts?!" Ah, captain Broad Slash-the sunshine of my day; the pegasus in charge of the entire solar guard and a giant jackass. He's been my mortal enemy since day one; I guess beating him at sparring didn't leave a good impression on his ego. He kept yelling, while I zoned out, thinking of mundane things; I looked around at anything that would catch my eye, soon, I noticed a figure on the roof. "Edge are you even listening to me!?" His voice got louder as he slammed his hoof down on the floor.
"Captain Slash, as much as I would love being yelled at, I think there are more pressing matters at hoof," and I looked towards the rooftops where the figure was jumping from roof to roof along the castle.
"Ugh, men, apprehend that pony! And you, Edge. Don't think I'm done talking with you," with that he flew off.
"Well, now that that's taken care of..." I walked out of the barracks and into the garden; hopefully nopony will find me, and I can take the rest of the day off. The canterlot gardens were known for its beauty and exotic creatures, most have to pay hundreds of bits to enter and see it, but only if you’re seen. I sat myself down under a tree and took off my helmet, letting my mane fall a little bit. Most days, being a guard is bearable, even with the captains yelling and the stupid nobles, but today just feels off, like the weight of the world is on my shoulders and is trying to crush me.

"What is wrong with me?"
"I don't know what is wrong with you?"
"Gah!" An upside down face appeared in front of mine, making me sit up and smack into it, "Ow! Watch where you stick that horn." The pony dropped from the tree, "you'll poke someponys eye out! Minus you and your horn, I'm Furatus Nocte." I skimmed a look at her; she was a Pegasus pony from the night guard, judging from her armor and bat wings. "What are you doing here? I thought the night guard was to stay in the east side of the castle at al-"
"Psha, says the colt who just ditched his post to avoid work! Tell ya what, you don't tell my Captain, I won't tell yours. Deal?" She interrupted so quickly, my words seemed like they were still floating in the air. A night guard, the polar opposite of the solar guard. A bunch of rowdy pegasi who don’t take anything seriously. Their Captain, the infamous Star Caster, was known for her magic in weaponry, and, luckily her good looks made it easier to handle her attitude.
"Fine. But what are you doing here? I thought the night guard was restricted to the roof tops and the inner castle?" My eyebrow twitched up, as she swished her tail back and forth in amusement, "I could ask you the same! I could have sworn the solar guard were stuck patrolling the city and its walls. So, the question is, what are you doing in the garden? Hmm?" She squinted her eyes in a serious face. "Nothing. So why don't you just fly away and pretend you never saw me," I sat back down and closed my eyes.
"Hah! Only if I wanted to. You’re not the only one who likes to ditch work," She laughed while flying back up to her branch in the tree. "Plus; I was here first."
I ignored her, I didn't care if she stuck around. It wasn't causing me any problems, besides annoyance, so I let my mind wander. At least I tried to, but I could hear a noise from above saying, "hey, are you listening to me?"
"No, I'm actually trying to ignore you," I said flatly, rolling over onto my side. ”Hmpf, rude! I was trying to ask what you did that made your Captain so furious with you?" I looked up at her, and she was giving me her biggest sad eyes and even had her cheeks puffed out. *Sigh*, "If you must know...” Since you won’t quit bugging me... “I was late for my duties this morning and I Left my post yesterday."
She chuckled and scoffed, "Wow! you’re a lousy guard. You cracked way faster than I thought you would; I barely even tried on that face!" she started laughing, nearly falling out of the tree.
....I hate this mare.

---LowerCanterlot---
"Help! Somepony help me!" A stallion screamed, running through the slums of Canterlot. "Come back ye nave, and face me like a true stallion!" A Pegasus shouts in a gruff accent, chasing the earth pony with tremendous speed.
The stallion turned a corner, but was treated to a dead end; he tried to climb the wall, only to be greeted by a cruel reality, "I have finally caught up with thou!" the Pegasus stood on his hind legs, his body fully clad in armor, "I will make thy death swift." He reached towards his flank, drawing a large sword. "I will give thee but a fair minute to pray to her holiness," he raised his sword, taking a stance.
The stallion just sat there, crying, while watching his life flash before his eyes. The last thing he remembered was receiving a letter from an unknown pony with a challenge to do duel, and now he knew it wasn't just some joke, and that it was real. This was the end of his life.
The Pegasus brought his sword down on his head killing him, he cleaned his blade of the blood and sheathed it, he pumped his wings and started to fly away not looking back.
