The Incomplete Works of Cookie

Chapter 1: The Assassin

       The Assassin, one of the most feared heroes in the region. The Assassin is all about mystery. Light as a feather, hooves with the strength of a sword, The Assassin has been fighting crime for long. Longer than their lifespan. The Assassin's identity is unknown. Many beings have tried to figure it out, but to no avail. The Assassin is too tricky, and too careful. No being knows, except for two.

       Cardinal Light was a natural born alicorn, as well as her son, Daring Light. She was your average pony for this region, which meant she had an average house. There was the main building, and tele porters. They led to pocket dimensions. The owner of them could change them to their liking at any time.

       Cardinal watched Daring play in the yard. Cardinal had a deep blue coat, and a brown mane. As well as red eyes. Her cutie mark was a piano, but that didn't mean she didn't do anything else. Daring, was a grey colt. He had an almost gravity defying light blue mane, and a darker version of his mother's eyes. Cardinal loved her son, and knew he'd one day follow in her hoof steps.

       At first glance, Cardinal's home seemed normal. Dull, some might say. But there was more. If you pulled certain books in a certain order, then pressed against a certain wall, a stairwell will appear. Then you'll see it. Weaponry.  Lots of high tech weaponry. Then, there was The Assassin's suit. Against the wall. Some might call this The Lair of The Assassin.

       Daring played with a puppy. Rare in this region, which is why he loved it. It's name was Buddy. Buddy was brown, with big sad eyes. He'd found home with the Lights.

        Cardinal's head suddenly hurt, as a picture of a villain running through the region raced through her mind.

        "Daring," she said, "I have to go. Don't let any being in. Stay in your room."

        "More business?" Daring asked.

        "Yeah." Cardinal sighed.

        "Okay."
