"I already told you: NO MORE STRAYS! It's bad enough that we are killing ponies for failing a simple test or stealing food, but being a stray is not something you choose to do or prepare and study for. Having their parents abandon them should not be punished by death, let alone brutally tortured and killed slowly." Said the blue one, her mane sparkling like the stars on a crystal clear night.

"I'm sorry sister," the eldest one said, her skin bright as the sun. "But after you left, rainbows became scarce. I had to find a way to restore peace, balance and happiness. After the numbers of failure and crime began to rise into the hundreds, the economy began to cola-"

"I know, I know... I saw it happen." the blue alicorn interrupted "Where I was, I had a view of everything. Just promise one thing, promise you will let this one live."

The eldest one, Princess Celestia, sighed with regret, "Living and working here is a life full of depression, sadness, with no will to live. He will hate his life. He will be alone, he will never have a chance at a normal life again. It is much better for him to die than to work and live here. You are aware of this, are you not, Luna?"

The blue Alicorn, Princess Luna, aware of what she was doing, nodded. Alpha, pretending to be still knocked out, listened to Luna's decision; turning his life into a world of pure hell, banishing all hope of getting back to his parents and finding out the real reason why they abandoned him.

"He is listening to us." Luna said, realizing Alpha was awake.

"I know." Celestia said as she walked to the corner of the room, where Alpha was. "I know you are listening. I am sorry for what has happened. But there is no need for sorrow. Tomorrow, you will begin your first day of working at the Rainbow Factory. Remember to be strong, and no matter what you do, fear him." Alpha was about to respond when he felt a sharp pain to the back of his head and everything went black.
