Legend Of The Pink Mare: Vol. 1

Pinkie, frozen by what she saw before her. Ponyville was in flames, her home and everyone she knew, was under attack. The sky above Ponyville had turned into a dark red color, as the flames from the town grew bigger and bigger. Screaming and yelling could be heard from her current position on the hilltop, Pinkie knew she had to act quickly if she was going to save as many ponies as possible from the unknown foe. With the sword on her left side and the bow she had got from Discord around...Discord! She had to warn him, and fast. With his magic it would be likely they could save more ponies.

She rushed as fast as she could back to Fluttershy's cottage, only to be stopped by three fully armed knights with their swords pointed towards her, blocking the rest of her path.

"Hold it right there. State your name at once, citizen!" One of them said, quickly pointing his sword at Pinkie's face.

Out of instinct Pinkie drew her sword and held it in a defensive position, ready to fight. Within seconds the three guards had surrounded her, walking in a circle around her, still holding their swords up. Pinkie could do nothing but to wait for one of the guards to make the first move, and soon one of them did. Striking out with his sword with a large amount of force, Pinkie turned towards him and quickly parried his strike and sent him flying off into one of the other guards. She saw an opportunity to cripple the still standing foe, giving him a heavy strike with her sword that he was not prepared for, the sword went right into his left shoulder pad and a spurt of blood joined the smoky air, followed by a yell of pain from the wounded guard. As Pinkie was finishing him off the other two guards regained their footing and were ready to face her once again. Pinkie Pie, who had not been fast enough to turn around and fully block one of the swords, felt the blow shake her entire body as the two swords hit each other, knocking her on the ground and throwing her sword into the dirt a few feet away.

"Any last words, you rebel scum?" The guard said while holding his sword down towards her, preparing to end her life.

Pinkie closed her eyes, thinking about everything she was about to lose in a few seconds. Only to open them again as a hot sticky liquid splashed over her face. Standing right above her, the guard, who was still holding his sword pointed at her had an arrow protruding from his chest, as red leaked out of the fresh hole the guard fell to his the side, dead before he hit the ground. The last of the guard’s body was also lying in a growing pool of blood from yet two other arrows.

Pinkie got on her hooves, picking up her sword lying a few feet from her. She didn't manage to see who her savior had been, that was until he stepped out of the bushes. Discord strapping his bow to his back, walked towards her and hugged her for a long minute before speaking up.

"Are you alright dear?" Discord spoke up, as he released her from his grip.

"Yes, I'm fine but... What happened, did you kill them?" Pinkie gave a confused look at the two stallions.

"But of course, I couldn't just stand there and let them kill you. Now that I think about, why did they attack you? They look like royal guards from Ponyville." Discord said with a questioning look.

"Ponyville! Pinkie shouted. Discord, we need to get to Ponyville, it's under attack!" Pinkie screamed out. She had totally forgot about the current situation Ponyville was in right now.

"I know, I could sense something was wrong as soon as I woke up. I went outside and saw the smoke, so I thought that it might be a good idea to catch up with you and figure out what was going on together."

After that small chat Pinkie and Discord made their way up the road that would lead them back to Ponyville. All they cared about now, was to save as many ponies as possible from this unknown foe.
