(Less than an hour later…)

“This is terrible. Who… who could’ve done this?”

A young, yellow Pegasus mare by the name of Fluttershy suddenly found herself standing in front of a frightening sight. Sugar Cube Corner was engulfed in flames, and there were many ponies there facing the flames head-on to put it out and try and find anything or anyone inside.

As Fluttershy stood there feeling devastated of what she was seeing in front of her, a random police pony came up to her and asked, “Excuse me, Miss; you’re Fluttershy, right?”

FLuttershy turned her head towards him and slightly lamented, “Yeah… that’s me.”

“Then I’m sure that you’re aware of everything that has happened here today, correct?”

“Yes, I do; it’s all quite unfortunate. Pinkie is devastated as well.” Fluttershy then turned back to the burning and asked, “So… is the murderer responsible for this too?”

“We’re positive that it was,” said the police pony, “In fact, we believe that it was due to the murderer looking for your friend, but failed to find her.”

“So… I hate to ask, but what is the news here?”

“My men here have been searching all around in there the best they can, and… unfortunately, they found the bodies of the owners completely charred by the flames; they’re… gone.”

Fluttershy gasped with tears sheading the about the death of the Cake couple, “But… b-but what about their two sweet foals? They’re not dead too, are they?!”

“We couldn’t find them anywhere. No remains of them was found yet so we believe that maybe they were foal-knapped… like a lot of the other foals that have been mysteriously disappearing ever since this whole thing had started.”

Fluttershy couldn’t believe it; Mr. and Mrs. Cake murdered and the Cake twins missing… this was indeed a dark day. “As if Pinkie wasn’t devastated enough, this is going to make her lose it.”

“Perhaps she already has,” said the police pony, “Many of my men have already delivered her the news a few minutes ago; although it was meant for both of you since we found out that you two were hanging out together today.”

Fluttershy just continued to watch the others as they were putting out the fire with partnership of some pegasai. She never knew that something like would happen in her life; but now with Pinkie as her only main living friend left, she feared that it may not last for long.

“Just what kind of monster would do something like this?”

(Dinky Narrates..)

Ponyville… it used to be my home; a place where I would smile, have fun with my friends and hang out with my Mother anytime I could. But then… that wretched day came when I found out the truth about Ponyville; they’re all a bunch of F@#ing assholes. It’s like their attitude towards me and my Mom completely turned around; like they finally revealed their true colors. They all killed her… my Mother… because they thought that she didn’t deserve to live, that she had no useful meaning to be alive, that she was nothing but a stupid, pathetic, worthless retard that deserved to die. And the worst part is… they were planning to end my life too… because I was her daughter, and I was showing mere signs of her personality.

Well… how unfortunate for them that I escaped before they had a chance to do so. Letting me sneak away from their grasp was their undoing. They all believe that I was dead… being a little filly lost in the Everfree Forest and was nowhere to be found. Too bad for them that they would all be dead themselves soon. All day today I had so much fun getting my revenge for my Mother’s meaningless death by slaughtering all those who were responsible and/or enjoyed her suffering immensely. Just a little while ago I went to Sugarcube Corner in search to find that giggly twit, Pinkie Pie and make her suffer. Unfortunately, she wasn’t there at the time and instead I ran into her two bosses. They were a waste of my time, but I did have a little persuading moment with them to get them to tell me where Pinkie was… but they weren’t very cooperative at first.

(Flashback)

They were quite startled at first by my presence when they saw me… assuming that they thought I was dead just like everypony else. But not only did they realized that it really was me and I was still alive, they also noticed my wonderful blood-stained coat; because of that, they suddenly started to fear me knowing of what I did.

“Where is she; where is Pinkie Pie?” I demanded in a lowly tone.

Of course they weren’t going to tell me right away. Mrs. Cake freaked out and tried to run away from the scene, but I quickly shot her down against the wall with my magic. Mr. Cake cried out to his wife, but I shot him down too to get him out of the way. I went back up to Mrs. Cake who was trying to get back up, but I held her against the wall to my eye level and demanded again.

“I said… where is she?!”

“Please,” she pleaded helpless, “s-s-stop; Pinkie i-i-isn’t h-here.”

“You’re lying, aren’t you; you’re lying to keep her safe?”

Mr. Cake somehow found the will to stand up again and then came at me from behind holding a baseball and swung. But I sensed it and stopped it when it was but mere inches from my face. I yanked it away from him and then made a home-run with his face as I sent him flying with two bloody teeth flying from his mouth.

I looked back at Mrs. Cake who was literally crying her eyes out and said, “I won’t ask politely again; now… where’s PINKIE!?”

Neither her nor her husband was going to reveal Pinkie’s location to me; neither of them was going to crack… but I had a sudden idea of what might.

“Oh my, both of you are braver than I thought you would be. I could end your life in an instant, you know; but since you won’t listen to me… you might listen to this!”

I suddenly made their twin foals, Pumpkin and Pound Cake appear in their view, and I had them down on their backs with some sharp knives hanging over them. Both parents panicked and suddenly feared for their kids’ lives, and the two foals were crying mostly because I woke them up from their nap.

“Tell me where Pinkie is right now or I swear to our stinkin’ ruler that I will impale your twin offspring on these knives and you can both watch as their blood spills on your damn floor; and I will do it too.”

I was giving them to the count of three, “One… two… thre…”

“STOP!!!”

Mrs. Cake suddenly spoke up… heh, right on cue.

“Please, leave our babies out of this; they’ve done nothing to you! But… what I told you before is true, I don’t know where Pinkie is. All I know is that she was spending some time with Fluttershy today and that’s it! I don’t know exactly where she could be right now… h-honest!”

“Cup Cake,” said the husband, “why did you do it?”

“I had to do it; I didn’t want our children to die. They deserve to live! And besides, you would’ve done the same thing!”

She did seem to be telling the truth, but my best guess is that Pinkie was at Fluttershy’s cottage… the same place where they were probably going to take care of me.

“Now that we told you,” said Mr. Cake, “please let us go; you have what you wanted!”

I looked back at him with a little malicious smile thinking such cruel ideas.

“You’re right, I do have what I wanted. But now that I look at this place, I’m afraid that Ponyville won’t be needing this sweet shop anymore… or its owners.”

After that little conversation, their foals were spared… not that I was planning to kill them in the first place; they’re just a couple of babies after all. But once they were out of the way, I had the lovely Cake couple tied tight side-by-side each other to spend their last moments together. I ignited a small spark near their location and cause their entire shop to burst up in flames with them inside. By the time anypony got to them, it would’ve been too late.

Ahh, I smile because I could still hear their blood-curdling screams in my head as the fire’s embers engulfed their bodies and slowly burned them to a crisp. It was a wonderful thing to look back on, but my mission is still on. I have to remind myself of why I became who I am today; the very reason of why Ponyville have seen its last days.

(Flashback—more than 2 years ago…)

I remember that day very well as if it was just yesterday; it was a day that started out like any other day for me. I was spending some quality bonding time with my Mom, just hanging out at the park, going on some of her mail routes, not caring at all of what others around us thought. And whenever my Mom goofed up on something, she would just smile and laugh and I would laugh along with her. For me, my Mom was everything; she would always be there for me and I would always be there for her. I wouldn’t trade my Mom’s life with anything.

But then… it happened. During one of our strolls in the park… just like that, we were suddenly surrounded by some royal guards from Canterlot and they were closing in on us. I helplessly watched as they placed shackles on my Mother’s hooves and neck, and told her that she was under arrest and that she was to come with them quietly. I was crying watching this unfold wondering to myself of what was going on, but some of the guards blocked my path as my Mom was carried away. She looked at me still smiling and told me…

“Don’t worry, Dinky, you don’t have to cry; everything is going to be alright. I’ll come back to you as soon as I can, okay?”

But little did I know… those were going to be the very last words that she said to me.

I was escorted back to my house and was guarded so I wouldn’t leave. I was up in my room continuing to cry because I was still about what was going to happen to my Mother. I knew that she said that everything was going to be alright, but why did I have a slight suspicion that everything was not going to be okay? I had to find out for myself; and luckily for me, the guards watching me were only guarding the front entrance, so I quietly snuck out the back way while they weren’t looking. Either those fools underestimated my intelligence or they were just plain dumb.

Afterwards, I ran into town searching everywhere I could wondering where my Mother was taken. I got certain suspicious looks from the residents as I was running around; it scared me. All of their eyes were on me and nopony looked very thrilled to see me either. I eventually stopped at a certain corner to catch my breath; all that running was making me tired. But suddenly, I heard voices nearby; familiar voices. I couldn’t quite make out what they were saying, but the ones talking to each other was Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, and Mayor Mare. As I got a little closer, I suddenly heard Twilight say…

“It’s been done, Mayor. Everything is finally all set and has been fully approved by the Princess.”

What was she talking about? What was taking place that it had to have the Princess’ approval? But then, I suddenly heard the Mayor speak.

“Excellent work, Twilight. After all these years dealing with the frustration, we’re finally ridding ourselves of that retarded mail mare.”

Being as young and naive that I once was, I wanted to believe that they were talking about another mail mare besides my Mother. I mean… they couldn’t have been talking about my Mom; right? But I was proven wrong when I heard Fluttershy speak.

“I’m pretty relieved myself. I tried my hardest to endure her stupidity, but it was just… too much; I can’t take it anymore! Derpy has got to go!”

It was then that I realized that they were talking about my Mother! I couldn’t believe what I was hearing! Why were they talking so mean about my Mother, and what were they planning to do to her? But then I heard them talking about something else as I heard the Mayor speak again.

“By the way, Twilight, have you figured out what to do with Derpy’s… child?”

“Oh, you mean Dinky?” I heard Fluttershy suddenly say… a bit excitedly, “Don’t you worry about that unfortunate, cute little filly, Mayor, I’ve already have everything all planned out. I’ll do the honors to… take care of her; I promise.”

“Do whatever you wish,” said the Mayor, “just make sure that you get the job done; got it?”

“Understood,” Twilight answered, “you can count on us.”

I don’t know what was going on, but I didn’t like it. Despite what I heard about me, I was focused too much on the matter about my Mom! I suddenly rushed out towards them and shouted…

“NO! Leave my mother alone! You can’t do this!”

All three of them jumped and suddenly saw me in front of them. The Mayor didn’t look happy though; in fact she looked a little annoyed.

“What is she doing here?”

“I-I-I-I don’t know,” said Twilight hesitantly, “she’s supposed to be at her house.”

“Hey there, Dinky,” said Fluttershy as she looked at me with a low-eyed smile, “we were just talking about you.”

I was standing there staring at them, and my regular staring soon turned into a light glare as more tears were flowing from my eyes; I just wanted my Mother back.

“Where is she; where is my Mother? What are you planning to do to her?!”

The Mayor apparently didn’t wish for me to waste her time and told me…

“I’m afraid that will no longer be your concern, child. Your Mother has caused many misfortunes for this town, and everypony here will not tolerate it any longer. She has to pay for her actions.”

“Wh-wh-what actions?! I don’t understand!” I whined, “My Mom isn’t bad, she’s good! She hasn’t done anything wrong! You don’t know what you’re talking about!”

“Shut the hell up!” he Mayor shouted as she stomped her hoof near me, “You don’t think I know what I’m talking about?! Ever since before you were even born your stupid Mother had destroyed property, caused many casualties on other ponies and… because of her, the town’s budget always skyrocketed! I mean seriously, what kind of pony can even do that much damage anyway?! A stupid, idiotic, retarded klutz… like your Mother.”

Even those other two were a little shocked at how the Moayor reacted towards me, but they did blame her at all.

“Yep, that about sums it up,” Twilight stated.

“Our town survived our financing problems only because the Princess lended her support, and even she is fed up with this foolishness. By her rule, we are ordered to have Derpy executed; not that we needed her order to do it.”

Everything that she was saying to me I didn’t want to believe. I knew that she caused some mishaps, and I understood the consequences behind them; but this is was going too far and I didn’t want it to happen. I shook my head and continued to plead constantly…

“No, I don’t believe it. I don’t believe a word you say! My Mother would never do any of things; and even if she did, she didn’t do it on purpose… and she’s not retarded!”

“Sorry, Dinky,” Twilight said to me, “but Ponyville can’t survive with her around anymore. Remember last week when your Mother dropped a piano that she was carrying and it fell through the Town Hall roof and nearly killed the Mayor? That couldn’t be tolerated.”

“But what about me?” I cried.

“Twilight is going to take you in today,” said Fluttershy as she came over to me and placed her hoof around me holding me close, “and after tomorrow, you’ll be with me. I’ll take good care of you from now on; I won’t let you out of my sight for a moment.”

“No! I don’t wanna!” I shouted while trying to push away, “I hate all of you! My Mother doesn’t deserve this! I won’t let this happen!”

“Just be quiet and accept the truth, Dinky,” said the Mayor not caring about my feelings, “it’s already come to be. Please, just… take her out of my sight.”

I was still crying, but I still found myself glaring intensely at the Mayor as she walked away. However, I still wasn’t aware of how I was feeling right now deep inside.

“Come along, Dinky,” said Twilight as she dragged me along, “you’ll get over this soon; I’m sure of it.”

But she couldn’t have been farther from the truth; I couldn’t get over it. The entire town of Ponyville hated my Mom, and she was going to die because of it. This wasn’t fair to her… or me; didn’t I have a say in this?! Twilight took me to her library tree and kept me there overnight, and she had a shield outside so I couldn’t escape. I couldn’t run away, I couldn’t see my Mom, I couldn’t stop this whole execution from coming. This was the worst moment in my entire life.

The following day soon came, and that unfortunate event was about to take place. I mean seriously, practically every single pony in Ponyville were present for this maddening event; damn bastards. I had no choice but to be there to because Fluttershy kept to her word and wasn’t planning to lose sight of me at all. The execution began and I thought that it was going to be quick and painless, but you all know what happened… anything but. They tortured her, beat on her, raped her, and anything else excruciatingly painful that they could think of. Even those Cutiemark Crusaders bitches had their share of giving pain to my Mother thinking that it could earn them their cutiemarks; such idiocy.

Everypony was getting into it, and everypony were showing me a different side to them; a side of lust, ecstasy, and pleasure from seeing my mom dying; it was so sickening that I couldn’t watch anymore. But then luckily at one point, I noticed that FLuttershy had her eyes glued to her friends that were torturing my Mother and was getting off of it. She was even getting excited seeing the crusaders up there too; no doubt imagining that it was her that they were wiping instead. But this was my chance; a chance to finally get away. I knew that it was already too late for my Mom, but I could at least try to escape from their grasp; so that’s what I did.

I quietly snuck past Fluttershy as she was fapping and went by everypony else who were too distracted to even notice me. I finally got out and went away; but before I left, I quickly turned around so I could see the podium stage where my Mother was. It hurt to just look at her now the way her body was mutilated and beaten, but this was the only time I was going to see her; even if I didn’t like it. Once I had enough, tears filled my eyes as I fled from Ponyville into the one place that I didn’t think anypony would try to look for me… the Everfree forest.

Inside there, I let it all out. I cried, I sobbed, I yelled in anguish and all of the emotion had held up inside me was being let out at once.

“Why, Mother; why why why?! Why would they do this to you?! Wh-why would they do this… t-to me? All this time I thought everypony there were my friends; I wanted to believe that my Mother wasn’t hated by them… especially Twilight and the others. But I guess I was wrong… way wrong. They killed my Mother; they took her away from me. She was the most important pony in my life and they all took her away from me! They all hated me and my Mother and wanted to get rid of us; I’m not ever going back there again. I hate all of them!”

Just then, in the middle of my lamenting, I heard a voice nearby…

“Dinky… Dinky…”

“Huh… what’s that…”

The voice itself sounded a bit familiar, but I couldn’t quite put my hoof on it. But anyway, I wasn’t planning to be found already.

“Wh-wh-whos there? Wh-whoever you are, I-I-I’m not going back to that backstabbing town, and you can’t make me! I’ll… I-I-I’ll live in these woods for the rest of my life if I have to!”

But then, I was face-to-face with a glowing purple orb that suddenly showed up behind me. I jumped and was prepared to run, the orb told me…

“There’s no need to worry, young filly. For even though the ones you loved and thought you could trust have betrayed you… I’m still your friend.”

“Who are you?” I curiously asked the mysterious orb.

“I’m afraid that I can’t tell you yet; but you better find some place to hide.”

“Why is that?”

I then heard the reason; some other voices in the distance that I definitely recognized.

“Dinky! Dinky, where are you, you bad little filly; running away like that!”

“Come on, girls, her scent must be getting stronger. Lead us to her, Winona!”

Damn, it was Fluttershy and Applejack; and I think I heard Twilight as well. They were looking for me; I couldn’t let them find me.

“Oh no, they’re looking for me?! Are they that determined to find me?! What do they want with me?!”

The orb went ahead on a path and said…

“Follow me, I’ll lead you a place where you’ll be safe.”

Well… what did I have to lose? This stranger who is an orb of light seemed legit for the time being and I wasn’t going to let the other find me, so I ran and followed this strange light to get from the others that were approaching. I was running as fast as I could keeping my breath in check and was being careful to not falter at all in my step; but after running through what seemed like an endless paths of trees, I eventually followed the orb to a rocky wall; was it a trap?

“A dead end; I have nowhere to go! Now what?!”

I was almost afraid whoever this orb of light was led me into a trap; but then the aura around it began to glow and a hidden door opened up in the wall. Once I realized it, I quickly ran inside the wall and the door closed behind me. I was now safe from their eyes, but they still had that stupid dog dog with them who could easily sniff me out.

“What now?” I asked the orb who was still with me, “What if they figure out about this secret cave too?”

“Just leave that to me,” it told me.

I wasn’t quite sure what it was going to do to throw them off my trail, but I listened carefully as the search party outside came right outside of the hidden door.

“Where is she?” said Twilight.

I almost hear Winona whined a bit out of frustration as she was trying to find my scent.

“I don’t know,” said Applejack, “it appears that Dinky’s trail stops here.”

“Oh my, look,” I suddenly heard Fluttershy say in slight fright.

What did see? Maybe it was whatever the orb was planning.

“Blood; and some blonde mane remains,” Twilight observed, “It has to be Dinky.”

So that was it; it actually made replica samples of my mane and blood to throw them off; pretty cool… and pretty clever.

“Yep, its Dinky’s alright,” said Applejack, “It the same bit of hair that we found outside the forest that led us in here.”

“So what do we do now, Twilight?” asked Fluttershy.

Thankfully for me, Twilight seemed too tired and aggravated to try and search for me in this forest… especially after the full activity they all had; ugh.

“I’m too tired to deal with this crap now, so let’s just assume that Dinky is dead now too. No foal her age could survive in this place alone for long. That’s one less problem for us.”

“So… just tell the Mayor and everypony else that Dinky is presumed dead?” questioned Applejack.

“Exactly; no pony needs to worry about Derpy or her daughter anymore.”

“Aw, too bad,” said Fluttershy sadly, “I was really looking forward to having some last minute fun with her cute little foal body… even though she was Derpy’s offspring.”

It was only then that I finally realized that Fluttershy literally liked little fillies. It was no wonder why that pedo mare kept making weird looks at me; sicko.

“Fluttershy, sometimes yer weirder than Pinkie when she’s on a sugar spree,” I headrd Applejack say to her, “C’mon, Winona, you work hard. I’ll give ya a treat back at home.”

It was such a relief hearing them finally leaving from where I was not knowing that I was right in front of them and still alive. Heh, they were such idiots.

“Thanks for doing that,” I told the ball of light, “I really owe you one for…”

But suddenly when I turned around, light illuminated inside the dark cave and the walls along the long tunnels were completely covered in crystals. Although, there was something about them that made me cower a bit.

“Whoa, wh-what is this place? I’m feeling a discomforting vibe here.”

“This is the Crystal Caves of Reflective Emotions,” the orb told me, “Here, every individual can witness their deepest, darkest emotions within themselves. However, only one with strong enough unicorn magic can access its corridors. You will find you relief here.”

I wasn’t quite sure how this could be possible, but eyes couldn’t lie to me as I saw bright, shining sight in front of me.

“How can this be possible?”

“There is a crystal for everypony here, you know; and one can only see his or her own reflective glow.”

“Everypony; b-but how can that be? And if only a unicorn’s magic can gain access in here, then that must meant that you’re a…”

Even though I was quite curious of that thought, I was suddenly distracted by a certain glow in the distance down the shimmering tunnels; a glow that somehow was calling my attention like it was summoning me.

“Hey, wait a minute; I… I think I see mine!”

I hurried down the cave tunnels going towards the glowing light that I’m sure only my eyes could see. Compare to it, all the other crystals that I saw just looked like… um, regular-looking crystals; nothing more. Eventually, I came to a huge room area filed with the biggest crystals that I had seen in that place. If only… if only my M-Mommy could’ve seen it.

“Those are some big crystals,” I said in awe as I looked around.

“The deeper and darker one’s emotions are,” said the light beside me, “the bigger their crystal will appear to be.”

“But why would my crystal be in here?” I wondered, “Are my emotions really that deep… and dark?”

Suddenly as if on cue, one of the crystals in the area shinned brighter than any of the other and caused me to draw closer to it staring at its brilliance.

“This has to be mine right here; am I right?” I curiously asked.

But when I turned around, the orb of light that was following me was gone.

“Hello; glowing orb thing?”

It was a bit weird that I didn’t sense it leave, but I guess that it wanted me to face my crystal alone… or however it was going to turn out. I didn’t know what was going to happen, but nothing could be more out of place for me right now than being without my Mother. I slowly approached the crystal being cautious of the unknown; but as I looked into it, I saw a familiar figure. A figure lying down in a slumped position with its face buried in its hooves crying and sobbing. It was… it was me.

‘Why, why did they do it? Why did they kill my Mommy? She meant everything to me, and they kill her for no good reason!’

This was all too strange; it was like… I was looking at my own feelings buried deep inside me. I wasn’t even crying, but deep inside… I was; and I was seeing it with my own eyes. But the more I watched myself, the more I noticed that I was getting angrier.

‘Now… I’m all alone because they want to… k-kill me too. What did I ever do to any of them?! What did my mommy ever do to them?!’

A weird but enraged sensation went over me as my inner feeling were channeling through to me; tears flowing though my eyes and my rage rising to higher heights.

‘I hate them! I hate them! I hate them! I hate them! I hate them! I hate them! I hate them! I hate them! I hate them!!!!!’

Just then, a huge light burst through my crystal that lit the whole area and I fell to my hooves being almost blinded by it. Once it died down, I glared into my crystal again, except this time I saw something different. It was still me, but… I looked darker, angrier, and more ominous. My inner feelings were drastically changing. The figure looked back at me… and it actually spoke to me.

‘So… you’re finally realizing how much our lives now suck.’

“Wh-wh-who are you?” I asked it.

‘I’m the embodiment of your darkest emotions. That other embodiment of yours was nothing but a crybaby. Not to say that crying out your sorrows is bad, it’s just that it was already getting a bit old.’

I couldn’t believe what I was seeing in front of me. From the look of this look-a-like, was this how I really felt inside? I felt confused… and a bit afraid.

“I-I don’t understand, what are you saying?”

I was still acting to weak; too afraid to unleash what I was feeling deep inside. But… I couldn’t ignore this; I needed to face reality and express myself.

‘Quit denying yourself; I am your inner feelings, remember? You know exactly how you are feeling now; of how you were betrayed by your own home. Those damn bastards think they are all better than us. They thought nothing of us but inferior space.’

It was right, that is what everyone thought of my Mother, which means it’s what they thought of me as well.

“I just don’t understand; all of this time, my Mother was being nothing but nice to everypony even when she may screw up at some things, but they never liked her! Does this mean that… th-that they never liked me either?”

‘Well… it’s quite obvious, isn’t it; of course they never liked us. Everypony in Ponyville never liked you except your Mother, and the same goes for the other way around. Those so-called bearers of the Elements of Harmony; for what they’ve done makes their very title all a lie! Not to mention the Mayor and these you call friends… everypony; they all probably hated us the very moment that we were conceived from our Mother’s womb.’

I suddenly began seeing past visions in my head of everypony back at Ponyville; the looks and leers and disappointed expressions on their faces that they made behind our backs. And to think that I didn’t noticed any of this and always thought they were sincerely smiling whenever me or my Mother were around. I began to feel sickened just thinking about it.

‘Look at all of them; they think that they are better and smarter than us. They dare to think that we’re unfit to live.’

I was beginning to finally realize everything that has happened and what it all meant and the truth of it all. My dark heart was finally becoming known to me and my inner dark thoughts began to come forth through my emotions.

‘They didn’t care what Mother or what we thought of things. They didn’t care for our well-being, and secretly plotted our destruction. And just look at what hatred of us did to these damn idiots. They all think that their lives with us was f*#@ed up before, then how about we give them a real reason to despise us.’

Being in contact with my inner dark feelings was defiantly taking a toll on me and was changing me. My magic turned dark, my heart turned dark, and the sweet look in my eyes that I had all this time also disappeared and turned dark. The dark reflection in my crystal was now gone because it was now one with me. The once sweet filly that cared about everypony in Ponyville was now gone and was replaced with one now filled with pure hatred for it and a thirst for vengeance.

But during that moment, something strange happened. I suddenly heard a familiar voice speak out to me nearby.

“Dinky!”

My eyes; even though they were now filled with hate, produced tears and was looking all around with wide eyes wondering if I was dreaming.

“M-M-Mommy?!”

In a cracked crystal beside mine, I saw… Mother… looking at me with tears in her eyes trying to talk to me. I guess at that moment her spirit was still lingering around.

“It’s okay, Dinky; stay strong. Everyting is going to be okay. There’s no need for revenge. Just forgive them and move on; for they don’t know what they… f-f-for wh-what they…”

Then just like that, her Crystal shattered right before my eyes which meant only meant one thing… she was officially gone from this world. As I just sat there thinking about what she just said to me in her last moment on this planet, I almost had a thought of doing exactly what she said. But, it didn’t matter; pretty soon the darkness returned to my eyes, and I decided to dismiss her words… and instead… heed my own.

“I’m sorry, Mom,” I said with my voice trembling, “but that is not going to happen.”
Afterwards, I made my way out of that cave and was much different than when I went in. Before, I was upset, confused, scared, and afraid; but now, all of that was gone. I was a new filly no longer caring for the life of anypony who dared crossed me. But once I was out, that same glowing orb who saved me was there waiting for me… like it was expecting me.

“So… did you find the relief you were looking for?” it asked me.

I gave it a little scowl and then slightly looked away as I responded…

“Y-yes… I did. You brought me here to this place so I could clear my head and realize what was going on and what I should do about it; didn’t you?”

“Perhaps; so what do you wish to do about it?”

I thought hard about it and figured out the exact words that I wanted to say.

“I want them to pay. I no longer wish to call Ponyville my home. After what they did to my Mother and what they planned to do to me… I will never forgive them. They all took away everything I cared for, so I’ll do the same to them! I’ll make them all suffer… just like my Mom suffered.”

“I was expecting you to say something like that,” the orb told me, “which is why I will help you to fulfill your wish.”

I walked by the orb not caring what it said as I automatically was planning to make my way to Ponyville and do whatever I could do to make them all regret their decisions.

“No offense, but I can do this on my own.”

But then the orb suddenly flew up in front of me to stop me from progressing. I leered at it feeling a bit annoyed.

“Out of my way!”

“Look, I understand how you must feel right now,” it said to me, “Now that you understand the whole truth, your heart yearns for revenge. However, in the present state that you’re in there is nothing you can do about it; you know that.”

Even though I was still upset and filled with hatred for my former home, I knew that it was right. No matter what I could do and no matter how angry I might get, I would easily be apprehended in seconds. It frustrated me just accepting that fact.

“That is why I’m here, Dinky,” the orb said to me, “I can help you. You deserve every bit of revenge that you want, and I will help you gain the ability and skills that you need to do it. It’ll take some time, I’ll admit, so just be patient and it will all be worth it in the end.”

I really wanted to do something now, but I decided to hold back my angered vengeance and go with that alternative plan.

“Fine, I trust you… and I’ll hold back… for now.”

Since then, I hung out in the forest for 2 years building up my magic and learning some killer survivor skills that helped me to survive in the forest for so long; and no creature in there dared to mess with me. At first the glowing orb didn’t revealed its identity to me; but once it did, I finally knew who she was. She was somepony who was against my Mother’s execution just like me and wanted her to live. Well… thanks to her, I was finally strong enough to carry out my plan… and I couldn’t wait.

At one point though, that freakishly stripped zebra, Zecora found me and realized what I was planning. She was quite surprised at how I was acting towards my former and was wondering why I would do such a thing. Once I told her, she couldn’t believe that she never witnessed that event take place. I warned her that even though I had nothing against her and wasn’t going to kill her, I would if she ever chose to stand in my way. She chose the smarter choice to stay out of my way; even though she wasn’t fully supporting what I was doing, she understood my reasons.

Once that fated day finally came, I was ready; ready to slaughter those who killed my Mother; ready to slaughter the town that despised her… and rejected me. It was at that moment when I was overlooking the town that Zecora came to me again… looking over what she knew was going to be her last view of Ponyville in her existence.

“I don’t mean to intrude, but this is your last chance to bail; do you dare to go with this for a risk that you may fail?”

I glared at her feeling annoyed that she ever thought of such a thing. After all, I wasn’t planning on failing. I looked over at the doubtful zebra and told her…

“Trust me, Zecora, this is no risk at all. I’ve been waiting for this moment for two whole years. Besides… thanks to her teachings and support, there is no way I can fail.”

That’s how it all happened; that’s how I came to where I am today. I don’t regret anything that I have done. Everypony that I have killed so far; mare, filly or stallion, I don’t miss them at all. They no longer meant anything to me. Right now, only two things mattered to me; my Mother, who is now gone, and now that she is, the 2nd is revenge; sweet… soothing, tasty revenge. That is all I care about.

Speaking of revenge, the bearers of the Elements of Harmony are now down 4 members, and only two remain. And thanks to that sweet ol’ married couple that I burned alive… I know exactly where they are. Pinkie and Fluttershy; the party bitch and the silent foal molester. Won’t they be happy to see me; I know I’ll be happy to see them… share their final screams.
