Sica: The tale of the assasin pony
The academy
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe academy
I spent the rest of the day at the arena, perfecting my skills with the dagger and learning to handle a bulky sword. I learned that the new stallion was one of Princess Celestia's old guards. He was discharged because he was always talking while they were in rank. He taught me the basics but never told me his name. I went home just as the sun started to set. I knew that I would be in a lot of trouble for going out without permission and then coming home after the curfew was set.
When I got home my stepfather came in and gestured for me to go to his study. "You left without telling us and then you come home after dark. May I ask why?" He says in a scarily calm voice.
" I went to the arena. And i got my cutie mark." I turn so he can see my cutie mark. His face registers shock then anger.
" You got a cutie mark of A KNIFE!!!"he yells.
" Two, daggers actually, And a heart." I smiled enthusiastically to even the mood.
Just then the doorbell rings. My mother yells to say that she'll get the door. My stepfather pushes me deeper into the study and tells me not to move. I wait about five minutes and curl up on the floor. Five more minutes pass and I hear a crash and my fathers voice booming out across the house.
"SICA GET IN HERE!! NOW!!"
I get up and rush out to the living room, where a blood red mare with purple and blue tribal stripes and black hair waits for me. "Hello Sica, I'm Jewley Mine, I'm the principal of your new school."She says in a very calm professional voice.
My mother speaks up "An academy for troubled youth. I would say your a troubled youth, considering your always at that arena. YOU GOT YOUR CUTIE MARK!"
She looks scared at the fact that my special talent would involve anything sharp. She runs into the kitchen. Jewley Mine tells me to pack my things. I run to my room and shove a few necessities into my saddle bags. I run and tell Jewley that I'm ready to go. Though the school is for troubled youth I'm just glad to get away from my family and this town. When we reach the carriage she closes all of the curtains on it and looks at me very seriously. She looks at me for a long time and then sighs.
" This is gonna be a long story" She says.
"We have ponies everywhere watching for fillies who have a special talent that... for lack of a better word... is deadly. The stallion you met today was a scout. You will be the second mare EVER to be let into this academy. This is not a normal school. Simply known as the academy to us, we are a school of assasins. You are also the youngest student to be accepted, it will be expected that you will be teased by your peers. We have a seer who tells us who traitors to Equestria are. We kill those traitors. We will train you in these arts untill you are ready to be a full assasin and when you are you will be sent out on a few missions." I sat listening to this story with awe.
"So I'm going to be an assassin?" Plain, sweet, and simple.
She looks at me and sighs again. "I went through a whole speach and you say it in seven words. Your going to be very good in this field."
When we finaly got to the academy Jewley hands me a key and tells me what room is mine.
since I'm a mare I get my own room. I would start training tomorrow morning.
Author's Note
In the future I would prefer more feedback about changes that could be made, not accusations about being a horrible writer.
