A Crystal Empire Accident

Silver walks over to Mal sitting at the bar, placed in the Crystal Empire's castle. Mal has had plenty to drink with the words ringing in his head "Did you come here to finish me off yah prick?!".

Silver walked over to Mal to tell him the good news "They Operated on Anton this afternoon, they removed the bullet and he's resting up in the IPC if you want to go visit him...." "IPC?" asked Mal as he took another drink. "Intensive Pony Care... like an ICU..." Silver replied.

"Oh...and I think I...we...should go see him... the doctor told me that he didn't mean to call me a prick." Mal replied while standing up.

And the two walked down the hall to Anton's room, there the two ponies saw Princess Luna and Cadence talking to Anton.

"Oh, i see your friends are here..we will leave so you can talk to them." Cadence said to Anton softly. "Well why don't you two introduce yourselves to my friends before you leave..." Anton asked Cadence. After Mal and Silver was introduced to the princesses they left and it was just the three friends standing in an empty room. After a while Anton broke the silence "...hey... so...about the other night...im sorry I lost it and hit Silver..I just..." Anton sighs

"My family was taken by a evil and cruel ruler...that's why I left." Anton stares out the window and changes the subject. "...Such a lovely night..." Anton says while spacing out. "Yeah...it is..." Mal replied confused.

"Too bad I might not get to see another..." Anton aid looking down at his hooves. Mal asked Anton "What do you mean by 'might not get to see another'?

Anton and throws a glance back at Mal "Don't you see Mal..."

"I don't think I'll pull through this..."Anton said looking sad at Mal.
