"Your Highness"

"Yes?"

"We found him."

"Good work Captain, bring him in."

"Your Majesty, are you sure about th-"

"Yes, please bring him to me."

"As you wish."

Shining Armor then bowed, and commanded his guards to bring the prisoner into Celestia's throne room.

You could hear the clatter of shackles and chains as the guards brought the prisoner before the sun princess. He was average sized, had a strong air about him, with a blank expression on his face as he saw the princess.

His gray coat was stained red with a gash all the way down his left flank, but it didn't seem to bother him, and a black and dark purple colored mane covered his eyes.

They walked him to the center of the throne room, before surrounding him with spears and horns, giving him just enough room for him to face the princess. Not that he did, the gray stallion just simply shook the hair out of his face and stared forward with deep, almost hypnotic, blue eyes.

"There will be no need for that", Celestia told her guards, " I wish to speak with this pony in private."

"With all due respect your majesty, this stallion's dangerous!" One of the guards inquired.

" Yes, it would not be wise to be left alone with him."

Celestia pondered this for a second, then chuckled a bit and said, "I will be fine, now go home and relax, you have served me well and deserve a little time for yourselves. Thank you for the concern, but I assure you I will be just fine by myself".

Reluctantly, the tired guards agreed and left the throne room and Celestia alone with the unknown prisoner.

"Now, before we begin, what is your name?"

Silence, the shackled stallion said nothing and just stared straight ahead, as if ignoring Equestria's ruler.

"You know, if you don't talk to me than this is going to be a lot harder and unnecessary for the both of us".

The wounded pony remained mute, and continued to stare at nothing.

"A silent type huh? Well how about this, I get to ask you three questions, and you can answer them anyway you want, but you must answer them. Does that sound fair? Do you accept?"

The prisoner just continued to do and say nothing.

"Well?"

"Fine", he agreed in a stern tone.

"Okay, first question, what is your name?"

"I don't have one."

"Fine with me, next question, where did you come from?"

"My mother."

"That's not what I meant."

"You said I could answer any way I want", argued the prisoner.

"Fine then, last question, some of Captain Armor's guards reported you using a strange magic, but I see that you are a pegasus, and not a unicorn, so how is that possible?"

"None of your business."

Celestia sighed, "if you are unwilling to cooperate and give us me some real answers then I have no choice but to put you in the dungeon."

Again, cold silence.

"You realize that we will just question you later and will keep doing so until we get something acceptable out of you?"

His only response was a small shrug.

"Suit yourself, I will have you escorted to your cell in just a moment."

And with that, the sun princess had one of her sister's guards escort him to his temporary home, went to bed, and let Luna watch over the night.
