I wake to find myself on a hospital bed in a white room with beds running along the walls and windows every 2 beds.

I seem to be the only pony here so I start to get up when I hear somepony on the otherside of the white door to the room.

"Do you think hes awake? After all. It wasnt his blood that was on him. It was someponys who came from from transelmania and a griffons" the fierst femanin voice says.

"Aparently theres a war between transelmania and the griffons going on over something realy stupid."the second voice says. A male

They open the doors to find me standing next to the bed I was in and they gasp.

"Get back in bed! Youre not healed yet!" The se ond doctor commands.

"You want to knlw why their blood was on me? Well first the drivers blood is on me because a griffon killed him. Secondly the griffins blood is on me because it got killed by the train as I escaped griffon teritory!" I yell at them.

"So its true. They are at war."the nurse says.

"Yes its true. The only reason I came here on that trai  was to get away from the war! So I can actualy have food for more than a day withiut it being taken by soldiers!" I rase my voice but not as loud as earlier.

"Get some rest and we willing see if we can find you a job tomkrrow"the second doctor says.

"Thank you. I just wish that train ticket didnt cost so much. I might have had some money left." I say clearly dissapointed.

As I drift I to sleep I hear a knoking sound.however knowing that im in a hospitali presume its another patient. Until I hear some pony ask "whats his name?"

"I dont know youre highness. He didnt say" one of the doctors replys.

"Inform me when he wakes. I have some questions for him."

"Yes youre highness!" All the doctors and nurses say.

"No youre highness!" I say loud enough for her to hear.

"Transelmanian citizen. Look at me when im talking to you. Is it true what you said about war?" She says.

I refuse to answer fully aware that it will most likely wind up the princess enough to get her angry.

after all. I am technicaly homeless now. No job, home or money. First things first, find a job.

heh. Big change after being an honoured lord to being a regular citezen to homeless! Makes me feal worthless!.

"So you where once a lord of transelmania. You could come in handy for peace meetings. Yes travenstien I know youre conscious."

I open my eyes just enough to seeprincess twilight standing before me. I slowely drag the bed cover over my head and try to ignnore her ever being there.

The next thing I know is im being held up in the air by a floating bed cover with an illuminous pink glow around it.

"What the f" I dont get to say the rest as twilight has used her moutn to hold my moutn shut.

"Dont they teach younot to swear where you come from?" Twilight asks

"They also teach unicorns to not disterb other ponies with magic!" I complain.

sighing with a slight chuckle she lowers me down and asks "so what is this I hear about war in transalmania?"

"Well if you let me out of the hospital and get me a job I mjght say" I offer.

she has a think and says after a while.

"You might be able to help on the apple farm, if you know how to make cakes you could go help sugar cube corner." Twilight says.

"Yes theres war in transelmania. And I barely escaped with my life." I say remembering the train driver as he got a spear through his head and painted the locomotive red with blood.

shivering at tne memory I realise twilight had asked me a question and is waiting for an answer.

"Um, yeah. What was the question again?" I say baking up as much as I can when she sighs.

"How bad has the war goten? It cant of got that bad in a couple of days."twilight says.

"Is everypony here stupid!? The war has been going on for eight years! Millions of innocent ponies have died because of a pointless war and you think that its only been going on for a couple of days?"I yell as loud as I can.

"Look calm down. Transelmania dont tell us anything. If they had told us the war had been going on for eight years we would have helped make a truce!"twilight attempts to sooth travenstiens nerves.

A blood vessel on the side of dynamos neck pulses as his anger grows.

"Ha! This country trying to make a truce? You cant even deal with trouble in youre own country properly! When ever something terrible happens here there sent away just to come back again! At least back at transelmania no pony caused crimes because if they did theyd get killed! Exacuted! Not just sent away!" I yell and open a window.

twilights face has gone white but now it flashes with red with anger as she realises what I just said and how I insulted the whole of equestria.

" how dare you!"twilight shouts back as I hop out the window.

pain shrieks through my left leg as I land on the otherside of the single storey hospital.

"Oh come on! Whats wrong with my leg now!?"I yell to myself as I look at my leg to find a piece of shrapnel in the muscle.

I bite onto it as hard as I can and pull. As it flings out blood spurts and makes a small area of grass stained red.

trying to ignore the pain its causing me and the blood pouring down my leg I walk towards the nearest building that isnt the hospital.

I knock on the wooden door to be face to face with a pink mare with frizzy hair and a grin on her face.

"Where is the nearest bar ma'm?" I ask

"Uhhhhhhhhhh!"she squeals and dissapears.

"Maybe the next house isnt inhabbited by a pony who has no sanity or logic in their life." I say to myself.

As I limp to the next house I knock on the door and a white pony with dark blue and white hair opens it.

"Hello ma'm.  Can you give me directions to the nearest bar?" I ask as calmly as I can.

"Sure! Follow the road down and turn left just before sugar cube corner!" The pony says smilling

"Thank you very much!" I say smilling in return.

"Oh, whats youre name? I havnt seen you in town before." She asks.

"My name is travenstein. And what is youres may I ask?"I ask

"Oh, im colgate. Im the dental expert here at ponyville!" Colgate says proudly.

"Nice job. You seem to be doing a great job here. Everypony has teath like marble!" I say.

"Thanks! What do you do for a living then travenstein?"colgate asks.

"Heh. More like what I used to do. I used to be a lord back in transelmania until the war broke out. Every pony there since then scavenges for food and drink. Havnt had a job since." I say grimacing at the memory.

I say my good byes and I follow the directions given to me by colgate.

Soon I arive at a blak looking hut similarly built to the others.in one of the windows it says bar.

I enter it to find it almost empty. I sit down on one of the stools and ask "whats the cheapest alchohol you sell?"

" that would be a watered down moonshine. Its free." Says a voice from behind me.

"You the bar keep? If so I will have five of e'm" I say.

a colt with dark green coat and blue mane steps behind the counter and pours out five pints of tbe watered down moonshine before placing it infront of me.

"Thanks. I realy need this." I say smilling.

as I down two of the drinks he looks curiously at me and when im finished he asks

"So whered you live? Somewhere close.?"

"No where. Ive just abandoned all I have ever had. To get away from a seamingly endless war."I tell him

He just looks saddly at me and says

"Im sorry. I understand why you want to drink it away like this."

He genuenly sounds sorry for me. Maybe I will come here more often.

"Thanks. Is it just me or is that pink pony with frizzy hair crazy?" I ask. Not sure if I will get a reply

before he can answer a grey pegasus with a white and blue mohawk smashes into me from behind. When I turn around he is looking at me as if im some sort of deamon. I can clearly see that hes drunk.

he trie so hit me bi move out of the way of his drunkan stuper.

"Come back here you peice of " he starts saying before I hit him in the face.

"Dont even try it!" I grown at him.

"You, you think you c, can beat me? Pussy!" He attempts to taunt.

I llace a hoof to his throat and force him onto his back. I hit him with as musch strenght as j can mjster in the stomach and watch as he rolls on the ground moaning.

"Pathetic!" I say and skt down againafter I finnish the drinks I leave and look for some place that could shelter me for a while.

"Where do you think youre going?!" Thunderlane asks me from behind

"To find someplace to sleep."I answer honestly.

"No. Im going to send you to hospital."he replys.

I turn around and see that he has a branch in his hooves.

I gallop strait at him jump at a nearby tree and use it to get high enough to attack him. As I hit him in the face again he swings his branch and hits me in the head.

as we both hit the grou d with a thump I hear a 'CRACK' inside my head and I get up growling. I seam to have somehow grown because I now tower iver thunderlane.

"The last pony I knew who was like you got publiceky exacuted! I guess here will have to do!" I say and I pummel him.

Again and again I pummel him and yet he still breaths. I pick up a stone and place it on his chest then hit it. I hear the sou d of his ribs cracking and walk off.

"Heh. If he survives hopefully he wont try and fight me again. Or I will make sure he dies!" I promise myself.

the next day royal guards arrive and place me in shackles.

"I have done nothing wrong! Why do you put these discrase of shakles on me! A foal could get out of these!" I say to the guards. They laugh and  lock me behind bars.

"Didnt even kill him. Oh but I will! In the name of all that is holy I will kill him!" I vow to nothing in particular.
