The Guardian Of Equestria

I felt someone grab my shoulder and began to shake me lightly. I slowly opened my eyes.

"Is it time for us to move?" I asked.

A man in his late 30's early 40's with a black tux stared at me. He had unreasonably long white hair for a man, that went past his ears which was combed back. He had yellow irises as well, his eyes were calm and collected, yet wild with the look of insanity as well. I began to look around, 'That's right I fell asleep in the forest, he told me to rest up before we strike.'

"It is time. We shall not let their army reach the city." He told me.

I stood up from the tree that I was leaning against and pick up my blade. My blade was black with a red edge, like a samurai's blade. The blade's sheath was black as well. The man held a cane in one of his hands, black with a gold flat bottom and a gold sphere on the top of it. We began to walk toward some smoke that we saw coming deep with in the forest. We walked a good  20 minutes before saying anything.

"I do not understand why the mistresses would send us this far from our post." I told him.

"I am sure they had a reasonable reason for doing so. It is not like our mistress Cellestia would do something like this with out reason or logic." He told me.

"Need I remind yo,. Cellestia is your mistress Gallus. My mistress is and will always be Luna. She just told me to go with you because she thought it would make her older sister happy."

"I see." He spoke pondering this thought for a moment.

I did not understand why that interested him. Gallus was always an odd one at times, but there is always logic in his madness. As we got closer to the smoke we began to hear voices. We'd finally reached the enemy's camp , the dragon's camp. I was glad that we had reached it. I couldn't bare that I was gone from my post for so long. The longer I was gone the more time they had to get to my mistress. What if they were on the attack right now. My mistress  would have nothing but lowly guards protecting her. I got ready to fight, placing my hand on the blade's handle. That's when I felt Gallus placing his hand on my shoulder.

"Do not rush this. You must think reasonable, one false move may cause us to stay away from our post even longer."

The nerve he had to give me orders! I wanted to turn around and slice through him! But, he had a point. If I rushed and screwed up, this would take much longer then it would be necessary. Leaving Luna to those normal guards did not please me. If I want to return to her I must do this right.

"What is your plan then?"

He stopped and thought for a second, "I say you go left and you go right to scan the area, then when we meet up we fall back and exchange Intel. From there we can make our move."

His plan will cost a lot of time, but if we do this right I can be with Luna by the following morning.

"Agreed."

We went around the camp and as I did I saw watch towers, six to be exact, heavily armed with long bows. Followed with the mess tent. In the mess of all the other tents there was one tent that caught my attention. A bright red tent that had guards surrounding it, all highly armed with to their teeth. Once I had made my way around all the way to Gallus we fell back and made a plan.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes! I am most certain that our target is in that tent Gallus. Once night falls we we can sneak in and be done with it. We will be able to go home." I grinned though I know he wasn't to happy with my idea.

"Maxis."

"No! I know what you're gonna say. 'We need another plan.' No! We are not making another-"

"That's fine with me."

...

"What?"

"That's fine with me. All I was going to tell you that we had to be careful of the guards. Oh and not to be shot by the log bows of course."

I stared at him, I did not believe that he would except my plan so easily.

"Rest-up Maxis. We must be at our fullest if we wish be home by tomorrow after noon."

My eyes widened with joy, to think I would get an approval by him. I will not let him down nor will I let my mistress be a lone any longer then this.

When night finally fell on this land we began to move in for the kill. we came from behind the tent so we would not be seen, but there were more guards now then at day, which was to be expected. There were two guards close to us, I went for the one closest to me. I pulled my blade out and got closer and closer to him. When he finally turned his back on me completely, I plunged my blade into his throat not allowing him to call for help. I lead his body down to the ground slowly. I turned to see the other gaurd only to find him on the ground with his head on backwards. Gallus sure made quick work of him. We did this pattern twice before a third dragon walked and found me out. I had to act quick so I allowed my blade to pierce through his head from the bottom of his jaw going up right into his brain.

"You must be careful. We don't want our cover blown so early now."

"I know. I won't let my guard down again."

We continued to go forward until we finally ran into five guards, not the best of things when there are only two of you. Galuss move swift and removed one bone from three of the guards spine. As for me I cut the heads of the other two, allowing them to roll on the ground before moving on.

"We are so close to the entrance. How will we get rid of the two guards standing in front?" I questioned.

"We shall take their heads and move in for the kill. I am sure that there are guards on the inside as well so we must be quick about it."

So we did. We moved quick, I cut the head off, and he removed it with his hands. We then rushed in, once again I cut through the dragons head with ease allowing his blood to spew out as Gallus punch a hole into the dragons chest and pulling the heart right out. He then dashed to our target and with ease removed the head before he could yell for help. I ran to him with joy, we'd finally be able to go back to our post, to our mistresses.

"Maxis!" Gallus shouted as a cold metallic rod impaled me from behide. The dragon he had pulled the heart from managed to lift his spear and impale me before collapsing onto the ground. The spear had gone through me my chest, my blood slowly dripping from the tip as I watched in shock. I looked up at Gallus, no, not Gallus but my brother. He to was paralyzed from shock. My legs gave up allowing me to fall and hitting the ground laying on my left side as the blood continued to leave my body. I could hear his panic. He spoke to me but the he words that came out were so soft that I could not understand.

My eyes closed and opened once again, but I was no longer where ever I once was instead I now laid in a bed. The sound of a machine beeping came to my ears. My arms had needles and wires pumping blood and other liquids into my body. I turned to my right to see Twilight and her friends stand there with concern looks.
