Zecoras' tale

Proluge

Time Period:The great zebra war

  ZEBRA

Kayernas stared up into the sky. Her white star cutiemark seemed to shine, longing for the stars above it. She knew how it felt. Except for Zecora, she was the ony zebra here. It didn't matter that much anyway, as long as there weren't any ponies. "Please, spirits, show me a way." she muttered. The stars shimmered brightly, but nothing else happened. Luna was going to bright her stars back down soon, and her ansectors would be gone. Sighing, sje turned back to her offspring. The yound pony was small, even for her age. She was wrapped in a blanket, a smile on her face. "Foals." Kayernas mumbled, her eyes shining. She walked over to the female foal, snuggling with it. They shared warmth,and it was so great, Kayernas didn't hear hoofsteps approaching the rocky shelter. She fell asleep, Zecora with her.

  PONY

General Starhorn crept up slowly on the cave. A couple of his best fighters were behind them. They were all pegusas, but there was one earthpony.

  "Hello?" Flaphoof, a white stallion pegusas poked his head inside the cave. Dawn was braking, and Starhorn could make out two figures. A foal and its' mother.

  "Great Celestia! They must've been captured by zebras." Fallenstar, the earthpony, muttered. Flaphoof landed onto the ground, and tried his best to sneak stelthily into the cave.

  "FLAPHOOF! I never told you to-" Starhorn shouted. He clamped his mouth shut just a bit too late. The foal started crying, and as the mother grunted, standing, the troop saw in the first dawn light her pattern. These weren't ponies at all.

  "Zebra!" Fallenstar shouted. She grabbed her sword and charged at the mother.

  "Fallenstar, wait!" Thunderchaser, a gray pegisi called. But he was to late. Fallenstar had killed the zebra. Its' blood spattered acroos the floor, and the foal was crying louder.

  "Well, as long as blood is on your hooves, kill the baby." Starhorn commanded. Fallenstar walked up to the baby. She pulled the sword up into the air, holding it with her mouth, but it stayed there.

  "Fallenstar." Butterfly hovered impatiantley infront of the cave. Fallenstar turned her head to stare at her teammates and commander.

  Without dropping the blade, she blankly replied "I can't."

  "Well, then, Butterfly can." Starhorn turned his head. The yellow pegusas sheathed her blade and flew toward the small foal, full speed.

  "NO!" Fallenstar shouted. Without thinking, she stabbed the incoming pegusas in the neck. Butterfly fel to the ground, and died before Thunderchaser could run up.

  Starhorn stared at the earthpony. "Attack." he neighed. The pegisi sheathed their blades and charged for the earthpony.

  "This is the end..." Fallenstar muttered "...but I'll go fighting." she looked up and started killing he incoming ponies, one by one, wincing as their blood spilled onto the floor of the cave.

  The young zebra wasn't cryng by the time Starhorn was dead. She was staring in awe at Fallenstar. "It's okay, little one. Do you know your name?" Fallenstar asked. The zebra didn't reply. "She can't talk." Fallenstar siad to herself. Walking over to the foal, she picked it up. ZECORA was painted onto the blanket with assorted mud and fruits. "Zecora." she whispered. Looking around, making sure nopony was there, she ran away, deep into a Forest.
