Working on the Darkness

A nice Conversation

Well with the annoying sun assaulting my eyes, I can start a new day under the tyranny of Celestia. Getting up from the bed and stretching my limbs are a good start for this new day, then like always I can do the normal glance of my bedroom.

‘You really know how to fuck my day’

With my day ruined once again I went to the kitchen in the first floor. My house has two floors, in the first there are my kitchen, the living room and my small library. And in the second floor are my bedroom and the guest room. Albeit I believe that the guest room was a waste of money, I can’t remember the last time that I had a guest here.

Inside the kichen I sit in the dinnig table, in front of was the classical breakfast of every morning, a jar of milk with a pack of Celestia’s O.

‘’Dammit Celestia you know how to monopolize everything’’ I muttered between my breaths

After I emptied the box in my bowl full with milk, with the nearest knife I stabbed the box where Celestia’s face was, in that moment I wished that this stupid box was the real Celestia. But anyone can dream.

I brought another spoon full with cereal into my mouth, eating peacefully and calmly. The sounds of cereal being chewed by my teeth are relaxing, this lighten up my mood after saw that poster in my bedroom.

After a few pairs of spoons filled with cereal I glanced to the calendar near my fridge, when I noticed the date I remembered what was my schedule of today.

Today is Friday, the day of my date with Luna.

I read 7 am at the clock; I had around eleven hours before Luna came to my house. That means I have eleven hours to spend in any activity which I want, so I decided to spend a fraction of that time with my dear patients.

I finished my breakfast and then changed my pajamas for my work uniform, which is my own decision by the way but I always use the white lab coat. Done with the dress up I walked through the door heading to my workplace.


After I arrived to my workplace, I checked the list of the supplies of this month;

-10 deers

-9 caribous

‘Meh’

‘The last time were a total of 28 captives’

I don’t know how that was possible, if I remember correctly Equestria was winning the war so that means more prisoners, unless….

‘Nah, I don’t think so’

The answer might be that the enemy army is fighting with more carefulness.

At the end I chose a deer for be next lucky, they usually scream more than the caribous. With my choice done I set everything for my surgery.

‘I have the feeling that this will be an interesting experience’ I grinned wickedly


‘Well I was right...
this is an interesting experience’

That was the only thought that crossed my brain in that moment, you know why?

Because when this specific deer didn’t scream or showed any expression of despair, he is just expressionless. Something rarely, beside from Luna although she cried but my point stand mostly of my patients scream for help or cry for mercy and this one was staring at me with no emotion.

So I leaned closer to him ’’Why did you not scream?’’

With the same neutral expression he answered my question ‘’There is no reason to scream’’ Then he stares to the roof.

To be honest I was taken aback and really surprised, not because he is expressionless no. Because he said that there is no reason to scream!

Here are a lot of reasons to scream, for crying out loud! First this room is dark and it has a lot of tools for surgeries. Who wouldn’t scream for that?! Oh right this guy………….

I returned to my original position to send another question ‘’Tell me, Why is there no reason to scream?’’ I titled my head a bit.

Again he turned his muzzle to face me ’’Because screaming or not I am going to die, and obviously you want me to scream’’ He closed his eyes ‘’And I won’t give you that pleasure’’

This guy caught my attention, so let’s forget everything about surgeries and tortures because I want to have a little chat with him for a while.

‘’I like you, you’re someone interesting, something that my others patient lacked’’ I rested my back on the back plate of my comfy chair ‘’So wanna talk?’’

Still he remained with that lifeless face and attempted to shrug ‘’Sure, I don’t lose anything anyways’’

With that said we talked without caring about the time, he told a lot of things about his kingdom and how beautiful it was until Equestria requested an audience with their king. And I share about my world, but I wanted to tell a lot about Equestria but that sword on my neck reminded me to keep my mouth shut.

‘’Okay what happened with your king?’’ I asked and then waited for the answer attentively like a children watching Tv.

‘’ Our king went to that audience with Celestia and the next day he returned to our kingdom with a disturbing smile all over his face, then he started to talk a lot about the harmony and happiness’’ He hesitated in continue his tale ‘’At the end we discovered that he was brainwashed by the tyrant so he was executed instantly to prevent the expansion of that disgusting harmony’’ He scowled at that word.

‘Why I’m not surprised’ I thought, Celestia wanted to expand her power over other kingdoms and this deer confirmed y suspicious ‘You’re an insatiable bitch Celestia’

Trying to look surprised I responded ‘’That answer the fact that your king was extremely happy when he was returning to your kingdom’’ The deer nodded

I forget something important when you start a conversation with someone that you never met, an introduction, so I stood up from my chair and then gave a formal bow ‘’I am sorry for forgot my modals, my name is Elijah Collins’’

The deer stopped to be someone expressionless because he gave me a sad smile ‘’My name is Crixus, is a pleasure to meet you Elijah’’

I chuckled a little as I brought a finger to my chin ‘’The pleasure is all mine Crixus’’ After the small introduction I sat on the chair but I didn’t continue with the talk because his name made me think for a while about something that could be a possibility here.

‘’Hey Crixus’’ my call earned a raised eyebrow from his part ‘’Do you know someone called Spartacus or Gannicus?’’

Crixus stared to the colorless roof for a brief moment to lock up our gazes ‘’Spartacus is a famous general known by his brutality in combat and Gannicus is known to be a master with the sword’’

‘Suspicious confirmed’ With his answer I decide to drop the topic quickly I didn’t want to learn more.

‘’You learn something new every day’’ I chuckled at my statement

‘’That’s quite true my friend’’ He accompanied my chuckle but I stopped mine when he said the word friend.

‘Friend’ I don’t have friends and the ones that I have here are just hole fillers of my loneliness, the best example are the Element of Harmony. This a sad true but I deal with it like a man.

I looked at him; he was smiling weakly trapped in my operating table so I sighed ‘’Look the war is going to end soon, I’m sure of that’’

My sentence gained his attention; he was confused ’’ How can you be so sure?’’

I looked at him with a confident face ‘’Because I will be the one that will stop it’’

Crixus stared me with a blank expression ‘’I apologize in advance for my laugh because what are you saying is completely stupid’’ then he laughed.

‘Laugh’ that’s a new reaction which I am not accustomed to receive from my patients.

‘’ I will have a date with the princess Luna’’ I deadpanned causing to stop his moment of joy and stare at me with a blank expression once again.

Just to turn his face away from mine ‘’You signed your death sentence then’’

His last statement made me laugh but not laugh for courtesy, to laugh for real ‘’Maybe you’re right’’ I inhaled ‘’or maybe don’t’’

I glanced at watch that was placed in my arm ‘3:43…………..Shit’ The time fly when you talk with someone interesting, I just hope that in a future I will find someone like him. I took a comfortable position on my comfy chair and then rested my elbow on my legs.

‘’Look Crixus I had a good time talking with you but I need to do my job’’ When I said that his smiley face dropped and returned his expressionless one and gave a deep sigh.

‘’It had to come anyways’’ He said with a disappointed tone

‘’Crixus’’ I got his attention ‘’I am going to give two options’’

‘’First option’’ I brought out a syringe ‘’I can inject you this and you will not feel anything, and what mean with anything is anything so I can do my work as we continue talking’’

‘’That sounds morbid’’ He retorted

‘’Second option’’ I put out another syringe ‘’This one will kill you instantly without any pain so you can see the afterlife’’

Crixus thought for a moment, which it was interesting because he thought what could be the best option.

‘’As much I want to keep talking with you Elijah, I would rather prefer a quick death’’ He said with a normal tone.

‘Everything has to come to an end anyways’

‘’Okay I will not question your decision’’ I searched for a vital vein in his body to inject the mortal substance. When I found the spot I moved the needle to inject the liquid.

But before the needle made contact with his skin he spoke ’’See you in Tartarus Elijah’’ I never stopped the way of the needle when he said that. Then he embraced the eternal dream with a smile. This guy doesn't interest me anymore... he fascinate me.

I stood up and gave him a last glance and muttered in response to his goodbye ‘’The tartarus wouldn’t be enough punishment forsomeone like me Crixus’’

For the first time I felt different when I ended this certain life, he looked like a good person, or in this case deer, and intelligent. And I just end it for Celestia’s interest. That only incresead my hate to her, I wish that she could die but she can’t.

Now with the body that once was Crixus, I decide that I won’t cut it. I will burnt it to ashes, he deserved that honor. And I did it, I burnt his body until only remained ashes which I kept in a box.

I looked the clock again and quickly made my way to my house taking with me the box with Crixus’ ashes.

After I arrived to my humble house in Canterlot, I’m sarcastic HA! I directly went to my garden where I planted a young tree and I spread the ashes there. ‘At least his dead will give life to another being’

What? I know that I’m a monster but I have a heart, although it is a stone heart or a cold one.

After paying my respects my door bell rang, I quickly turned my attention to my watch to notice the time

‘6:00 pm’

Luna has arrived for our date.

And I wasn’t ready

‘’Shit’’
