When legends die out.

by Brokenhearted

The risk.

Previous Chapter

I knew I could not let my young filly die of hunger, it was risky. But I made the decision that I should go and buy some berry's, better yet... Steal them. "Come." I say picking her up with my gray wings and setting her on my back. I go into a flight position and take off.

It does not take that long to get towards Ponyville from the Everfree forest. Most pony's don't come here because of my Legend and of Sombra's banishment here in the Everfree. We land by the shops. Once again, pony's are scared out of their wits. I go over where they sell their berry's, freshly picked. The salestallion gallops off, Ha!. What a chicken of a pony he is! I pick up the berry's with my magic and levitate them in front of me, I looked at the price for them. Meh, I was not going to pay for them so why even bother looking towards the price board? Even so, the prince was extremely high. I gave them to pepper and she grabbed them with her front hooves and we took off. "Mother." She asks while we are high into the sky."Yes pepper?" I start to answer her question "Why did you say that you were going to go with the guards but, you never did." She adds on to her unfinished question. I sigh. "That was a lie, pepper. I said a lie to those guards." I say flapping my wings against the cold wind, knowing that there will be a slight storm soon. "But why?" She asks once more. "Pepper, there are things in life that you must lie about, not always, but sometimes.." I say turning my head a little. We both soon get quiet, and before we even know we are both at the old Ursula Major cave we had stayed in for a while. And we both sit on the ledge. I know those pathetic guards are going to come find us, both here starving and cold. Celestia might even bring her beloved "Princess Twilight sparkle." And her friends... I keep running this thought in my head and I quickly swoop it away. Not wanting my curious yet smart filly to know, she already has enough stress on her now. I don't want to add more stress to her. She eats her berry's that I quickly stole from the market at Ponyville. No longer will I be a legend, But I will be a thief also... I think.

How did I become a legend? I'm just a regular alicorn....
