To serve and slay the Sun and Moon

To Slay the Sun and Moon

Part 2

31 December

A new year. A time for redemption.... A time for revenge....
1 January
I have had epiphany. A wondrous, glorious epiphany, but first I must explain last night
I went through my saddle bag making sure I had all I need. Map, night vision goggles, stolen of course! The times of the guard shifts and a large kitchen knife (not stolen it was Berry Punch’s so it's beautifully ironic, yes I was going to kill this Private Buttercup for stealing my love and future. That was the extent of my plan. No fall back, no back up and nothing to look forward to.
I went out just after 10 to the path out the front. That is where I waited behind the sand dunes. His time to guard was at 1, but I did not want to miss him and I wanted to get him before new year. I don't know why, I just did. I put on the night vision glasses but the moon was too bright so I took them off. I fiddled with the knife I had brought sticking it into the sand repeatedly.

A little before 12 I heard trotting. I looked out across the Luna filled terrain a saw him just moving slowly, getting his helmet on. He looked shaky and tired.
I dived at him as he passed and pinned him down. He was a small pegasus, much younger than me. A bright yellow body with a dark blue mane. He looked up at me first in shock then in relief that I was not a neatherling and finally in pure terror. I was holding the knife in my mouth looking down on him from my position of power.
The private just started crying. This took me by shock I was expecting a fight where we would battle and I would win therefore redeeming myself for letting Berry go when she was not sober. Something in my mind snapped and suddenly I saw the bigger picture. This poor Pegasus was not the reason she was dead, it was the gun manufacture for making faulty weapons. In turn it was the generals who ordered the firehoofs (firearms) and the politicians who bossed the army around. We're at more fault because they sat in Canterlot all day just hearing reports and where deaths were just numbers.

Finally the top our sovereign heavily spheres the sun and moon were the real demons who killed my lover. All this in a second he was still crying. I looked down on him and told him that he would not die tonight.
I had bigger things on my mind I walked back to my room and started packing.
16 January
My papers are approved and I'm going home. I am writing this in a small jeep driving to the airship base south west of the front lines. I wrote to the Princess last week and told her I had a wonderful idea for raising the spirits at home by having a concert of all my work I had done in the north. She agreed to have one but here's the deal breaker in Canterlot hall UNDER the war room. It is on February the 23rd I hope I have time.

20 January

In the last 20 minutes I have just got back from a secret meeting with the terrorist group 'all shall be free' I have no idea what their name means but they have found the a way for me to complete my mission. They said we will have a meeting next week some time.

5 February

It's been well over a week and still no reply. I have started to acquire some things to make a makeshift explosive but I don't have the mind nor the time for the work

7 February

They came for me yesterday they said that I was being too conspicuous but they were impressed by my determination. They gave me an address to pick up the stage on which I would perform and no more information.

14 February

They are watching me, every one. Their eyes see in to me and know what I will do but they can't stop me, no one can.

22 February

They gave me a watch I where on my hoof, even now it counts down. Not long ‘till oblivion and the loving embrace of success and death. Soon we shall be together

General Butterscotch wing commander Wonderbolt 3rd class
23 march 3years after fall of monarchy (AFM)

Report:
Nopony who paid their money or the ones that jumped the fence could have survived. We will never know how he got them in but under the stage was four extraordinary pieces of earth pony tech. They were 4 100pound suitcase nukes strategically placed so as the explosion would take out strategic walls to collapse the war room above where both Princess Celestia and Princess Luna had been finishing there debriefing of the returns from the front. He did not even sing a song he just pronounced that it was his last show and then the cameras cut out.
The explosion was the first and last act of major terrorism on Equestrian soil. Although the 2 royals were killed, the general and head of state a Pegasus and unicorn respectably started to bicker and fight but the one thing they agreed with was that it was an earth pony conspiracy and that they must be punished. The earth ponies were excluded from the equestrian kingdoms and were made to live in the Forests and hills. The power struggle that insured saw the assassination of two rulers before the pegasi refused to be in treaty with the unicorns and retreated to the mountain tops. The unicorns in turn chose their homes to be in caves where gems and magic thrived. On this faithful day the first snow flakes of this 'ever winter fall' tumbled from the desolate clouds.
