Interview with an Immortal

Thank you for deciding to allow the Cloud Chronicle to do a report on you, Captain Dash. So, to start with this interview, what was your first thought about immortality before you became what you are today?

    I used to think immortality was impossible. Boy, was I wrong. When I looked around me, I realized there were two immortals living in our everyday lives; Princesses Celestia and Luna. They were immortal. Granted, they could be killed physically, but they never died old age or disease. But any material weapon could kill them, if their guard was let down. It was something that I found a little upsetting. But one day I realized they had it easy.

     97 years ago, I was supposed to die strapped down to a lab table, to have the fibre of my being, my very soul ripped from me and be made into a beautiful spectrum of colours. However, due to the fact that I was warned, and naturally wished to preserve my life, I prepared myself. After the day passed, my hunters gave up pursuit. It would be too late.

     This is why no one is allowed out of that wretched facility.

     However, eventually, I did die, three weeks later. But the results were... Strange...

     I had suffered a serious stab wound out on the battlefield. Just when the doctors were about to resuscitate me, I came back, and my body jump-started again, and I was up and running. I won't tell you everything that happened yet, I don't want to spoil anything. Instead, I will start with the day I was given a mission by the Equestria Defence Force.

     Sixty years went by. Those were they most exciting sixty years of my life. Of course, after about a year of not dying, I realized there was not much I could do, and so I just started living for one-night stands and wars.  I occasionally had a long term relationship, but no matter how hard I tried, they always ended in tears after they realized what I was. And then I realized I could never live with anyone forever. Only the princesses. And we already know why that would never happen.

     So, I gave up trying to find somebody to love.

     Until one fateful day, sixty years after I was sent to assassinate the mighty King Sombra the Terrible.
