The others, captured Lunarian soldiers, Celestian soldiers, and civilians looked up in the sky and listened. A lavender unicorn spoke up. "Did you hear that?" The pony beside her ignored it. "It was nothing Twilight, carry on." Twilight looked back down at a clipboard surrounded by a lavender colored magical aura. "Yes Captain." Twilight started calling out names. "Stallio N. of Saddleston." The unicorn said, plainly and monotone. "You can't do this! I'm not with them! You're not going to kill me!" The thief ran off, but his escape was cut short by an arrow. He fell to the ground. Alex winced.

"Anypony else feel like running?" The captain asked, expecting an obvious answer of silence. Twilight started calling the names again. "Rainbow Dash of Ponyville. Princess Luna, Leader of the Lunarians." They stepped forward. "It's been a great honor, Princess." Rainbow said proudly.

Uh-oh. He was the only one left. "You there, step forward. Who are you?" Twilight asked, curious. "Well...." Alex began. "I'm a human. From the planet Earth. My name is Alex." Alex explained. Twilight looked down at her list, puzzled. "Captain, what do we do? He's not on the list, he's not even from this planet." The Captain thought for a moment. "Fuck your point Twilight, he goes to the block too." The Captain said, ignorant that the human in front of her would save Equestria.

A prisoner in black and blue armor was called to the chopping block first. He put his neck on the block and waited impatiently for his inevitable death. "Come on Celestians, I haven't got all morning." The headsman raised his axe and brought down with a *THWACK* on the prisoners head. The head fell off into a box. Alex tried not to look at the execution.

"Next prisoner, the human." Alex gulped. He walked over slowly to block. It's surface was bloody from the last prisoner. It was already starting to blacken. He felt sick to his stomach. "By the way, you were a pain in the flank to tie up." A Celestian guard said as he put his neck on the block.

Then the roar came again, only this time, louder. MUCH louder. "What was that?" Asked everpony. "Ignore it. It's nothing." The Captain was wrong. The headsman raised his axe, then a Dragon appeared in the sky. "What in Equestria is that?!" Yelled the Captain. "It's in the clouds! Its a...a..Dragon!" The Dragon landed on a guard tower. It's scales were black as night, spikes and horns everywhere along it's body. This dragon was bigger than a bus. It was definitely Alduin.
