Chapters Before the great Queen Celestia died five years ago, she made a law that which ever warrior sits upon her throne of gold first, they would become King or Queen of Equestria. However, instead of this being a race, warriors all over the land killed one another for the throne.
Once news of this reached the dying queen, Celestia made it so that a new ruler will get the chance to take the throne once a year. Hoping that this added rule would keep her game more civil. However, it did the opposite of that.
When the first new ruler, King Sombra, took the throne, he struck fear into the hearts of many so that nopony would challenge him for the throne. But luckily, two year later a warrior by the name of Blueblood decided to challenge the ruthless king. In the battle that lasted two days, Blueblood became the victorious.
He was a smart, yet sly king. Whenever somepony challenged him for the throne, King Blueblood would always win.
Now, a new warrior dreams of dethroning the king. And that pony is-
"The great and powerful Trixie does not have to pay ten silver coins for a sack of flour." a blue unicorn stated flatly to a merchant.
"Then go away, you're holding up the line!" a buff, light brown pegasus informed, waving his hoof at the line of ponies.
"Fine! But I'll have you know that I work for Greenhooves. And I'm sure he'd love to hear about this." Trixie exclaimed.
Greenhooves was a well known sensei that rarely taught anypony, let alone a teen. So it was no wonder that the sales pony tensed up after hearing about this.
"Y-you are?" he gulped.
The unicorn put on a sly smile and leaned in closer, "Yep." she whispered.
"F-five silver coins then!" he practically yelled.
With a smug look on her face, Trixie hoofed over five silver coins in exchange for a sack of flour. Then the unicorn trotted off down the cobblestone road, humming a little victory tune.
As she turned a corner, Trixie felt something tug her blue skirt. When she turned around, she saw that it was a familiar purple dragon. He wore a simple grey shirt, green shorts, and had a pen behind his ear.
"Spike? What do you want?" Trixie asked curiously.
"Master Greenhooves told me to get you. Since you are late for lessons again ." the dragon answered.
Trixie groaned, "But tomorrow's the new year! I need to get ready for my journey to Canterlot!" she informed.
Spike face palmed, "You do realize that the guard won't let you out without a note from our teacher, right?"
"Well I uh." she began white tugging at her dark blue and black tie, creasing her white blouse.
"Come on." the dragon sighed.
"There you are!" a mare exclaimed as Trixie and Spike entered the home.
The mare wore a light red blouse, and forest green shorts.
"Hi Roseluck! Where's Master Greenhooves?" Spike asked.
"Grandfather is in the training room." Roseluck replied, then she shifted her gaze to the sack of flour that floated above Trixie, "Um, why do you have a sack of flour?" the mare questioned.
"I was at the market." the unicorn answered while ushered down the hall by Spike.
Once her grandfather's students left, the mare shook her head and smiled. Then she grabbed her watering can off of the living room table and headed outside.
"You are late." an elderly light brown pony said as Trixie and Spike entered the room. He wore a sky blue shirt and milk chocolate colored pants.
The two students bowed respectively before taking their position on a dark blue mat.
"I am sorry Master Greenhooves, but I got carried away from packing my things." Trixie replied.
"And where are you off to?" the elder asked.
"To Canterlot to win the throne of gold. But then I forgot that I'd need a letter from you in order to pass the gates,"
"So you were hoping that I'd write you permission to leave." he finished.
Trixie blushed, "Yes."
The old pony sighed, "I will write you a pass but-"
"YES!"
"But only after you finished two days of training." he finished.
"But,"
"No buts. Now pick up a wooden sword and decapitate that dummy." Greenhooves replied while pointing to a wooden pony.
Trixie groaned in frustration, but levitated her flour besides her teacher. Then she quickly picked a sword from a wall and headed towards the wooden dummy.
"Spike, I want you to practice your claw-eye coordination by throwing those stakes at those circles." he informed while pointing over to a wall with five painted circles on it. Each were a different size.
"Begin." Greenhooves commanded.
Trixie did a quick nod and galloped over to the dummy. Then she swung her sword, making the blade to come intact with the neck of her brainless opponent. When the unicorn yanked the blade from the dummy, there was a medium size gash in the neck of her opponent.
"Crap!" Trixie muttered a little too loud.
"Language." the elder pony reminded.
After three long hours of doing the same thing over and over, Greenhooves clapped his hooves, making his students stop what they were doing and look at him.
"Tomorrow we'll work on sword fighting." he announced while getting onto his hooves.
"But I've been working on sword fighting." Trixie whined.
"And you need more practice." her teacher countered, "Now get going, class dismissed."
Groaning, Trixie levitated the wooden sword back onto the wall before picking up her flour and heading out. However, she stopped by the front door in order for Spike to catch up.
When the dragon was by her side, the two students trotted off into town.
Author's Note
For those who don't know who Greenhooves is, he was the pony who over watered Fluttershy's flowers in Putting Your Hoof down.
Chapter One: The Adventure Begins
"Take that!" a blue unicorn shouted. She lifted up a wooden sword and crashed it down upon a dummy's head, causing the sword to scatter splinters everywhere. However, the dummy's head only had a dent in it.
A purple dragon began to cheer, only to be cut off by a stern look from a light brown colored pony.
"You need to control your power and focus it at one point, Trixie." the elderly pony remarked while shifting his gaze towards the panting mare.
"But Master Greenhooves, I did do that." Trixie explained.
"Then why is the dummy still in one piece?" he questioned.
The mare groaned in frustration and threw the broken sword on the ground, "I don't have time for this! I need to get going if I'm ever getting to Canterlot!" she shouted.
"You wouldn't even stand a chance against the other warriors." Greenhooves informed while getting onto his hooves.
"I have to agree Trixie," the dragon piped up, "Those other warriors probably trained their entire lives while you've only trained for three days." he explained.
"Not helping Spike." Trixie grumbled.
"If you want to get going on your journey, then fight Spike." the elderly pony stated.
The two students looked at him in shock.
"M-me?" Spike asked.
"You are one of my top students. Trixie can learn a lot from you." Green informed.
Trixie smiled and went to get a wooden sword from a wall. The still stunned Spike took a deep breath and trotted to the same wall, quickly choosing a sword made out of oak wood and taking his position. However the blue mare was still at the wall, trying to decide weather to get a sword made out of willow or jungle wood.
"Just pick a sword already." Spike groaned.
Trixie rolled her eyes, but picked up the sword made out of jungle wood and quickly took her position.
"Begin." their master commanded.
The unicorn let out a roar and charged at the dragon. However, Spike dodged and slammed his wooden blade into her chest. Trixie stumbled back, a hoof clutching her stomach. Seeing a chance to end this, the dragon jumped up into the air and swung his blade at the mare's chest. Seeing what he was planing, Trixie tightened her grip and waked her blade across his left leg. Spike let out a bellow in pain before stumbling after the mare. The blue unicorn saw victory flash before her eyes. Grinning, she lifted up her sword and slammed it down upon the dragon's head, hard.
Crying out in pain, Spike stumbled back in pain. However, when he placed a paw over the spot Trixie's blade smashed him, he felt something sticky. When he moved his claw in front of his face, the dragon saw that it was covered in blood. Now a new kind of anger boiled in his veins as he gripped his sword tighter. Letting out a battle cry, Spike charged at Trixie. Before she could deflect his move with her sword, the blade of his sword struck her stomach again. This time even harder.
Trixie doubled over, wheezing from the lack of air in her lungs. Seeing this, Greenhooves called for his granddaughter.
Seeing what he had done, Spike dropped his wooden sword and went over to Trixie.
"I'm so sorry." Spike whispered, trying to help his opponent stand.
"G-guess I s-still need some practice." Trixie replied, hissing in between breaths before blacking out due to the pain.
"There we go." a cream colored mare with a rose on her flank said.
Spike, Greenhooves, and the mare were in a small room lit with many candles. In the middle of the room was Trixie who was laying on a bamboo mat. The unicorn's stomach was covered in a white cream and a glass of water laid by her side.
"Thank you Roseluck." the elder said.
The mare bowed, "It was my pleasure, grandfather."
"Trixie will be able to start her journey to claim the Golden Throne, right?" Spike asked.
"Only if you go with her." Greenhooves stated. Then he trotted out the door, leaving his granddaughter and students behind.
"Ugh."
The sound of their fallen companion made Roseluck and Spike shift their gaze to the now awoken Trixie. Quickly, Rose took the glass of water and gave it to the unicorn who gladly took a couple of sips.
"Guess what!" the dragon exclaimed happily.
Trixie raised an eyebrow, "What?" she questioned.
"Master Greenhooves is allowing you to go on your journey! And I get to come with you!" Spike announced.
The unicorn's ears perked up as she heard this. Then, a small smile crept upon her face. Finally, her dream is becoming true.
Suddenly, Greenhooves trotted back into the room. In his hooves where two long boxes.
"Every warrior needs a great weapon." he simply stated before handing the two boxes to Trixie and Spike.
"Thank you." Spike thanked before Trixie and he began to open their gifts.
The blue unicorn let out a gasp in disbelief as she lifted a sword from her box. The hilt and guard were a pearly white, and the blade was slightly curved and was a crystal blue. The pommel had a blueish white color and in the middle of it was a carving of a snowflake.
"Thank you Master Greenhooves." Trixie said in awe as she picked up a leather sheath from the box as well.
"No way." Spike announced. Making the other ponies in the room shift their gaze to him.
The dragon was holding a battle axe. The neck was made of thick jungle wood, and the blade was an emerald green. In the middle of the blade was a carving of a fire symbol.
"Grandfather?" Roseluck whispered. After seeing Trixie and Spike getting the chance to embark on a journey, there was something she needed to ask her grandfather.
"Hmm?"
"C-can I go with them? I know I'm no warrior, but I am a great healer and-"
Greenhooves held up a hoof and smiled at the nervous mare, "Are you sure of this?"
Roseluck nodded, a determined look on her face.
"But what of your sick mother?"
"She'll have you! Plus, there are many healers in this village."
"You don't even know how to fight."
"Trixie and Spike will protect me."
"How will you be so sure?"
"Because they learned from the best teacher."
Greenhooves thought for a moment. From the day she turned four, his granddaughter always wanted to go out and explore this world. However, there are many dangers out there and he just didn't know what he would do if something happened to Roseluck.
Once he made his decision, the elder pony smiled at his daughter and pulled her into an embrace. Causing his students to give him confused glances.
"You win." Greenhooves whispered into her ear.
Once he let go, Greenhooves turned to his students and smiled, "My granddaughter will be joining you on your quest." he announced before trotting towards the door, "So get going, for your adventure awaits."
"Now, here's the notice to let you out of the gates, I packed some food, extra clothes, and some healing herbs in Roseluck''s bag and-"
"Grandfather, we'll be fine." Roseluck interrupted.
Greenhooves blushed and scratched the back of his head, "I guess I'm just nervous." he replied.
His granddaughter gave him a small peck on the cheek before being pulled away by an impatient Trixie.
"We'll write to you once we reach Ponyville." the unicorn called over her shoulder before trotting out the door.
"I can't wait to use my sword." the unicorn announced while taking her sword out of it's sheath for the fifth time.
"We're not even at the gates yet." Spike pointed out, strapping his axe on his back.
Roseluck smiled a little as her two partners argued. However, her smile soon vanished once they approached the gates. Unlike her companions, she was a little scared. Roseluck has never been outside of the White Tale woods before. Plus she didn't even know the first thing of sword to sword combat.
"Equestria to Roseluck."
The mare snapped out of her daze and looked at Trixie in confusion.
"The pass?" Trixie questioned, pointing a hoof at two soldiers standing guard next to an iron gate.
"R-right." the mare replied. She quickly dug around the back pocket of her bag. Once she got the pass from her grandfather, Roseluck quickly gave it to one of the guards.
"Go ahead." the guard replied.
Once the iron gate opened, the small group of three were quickly ushered out into the outside. Then, the guards closed the gate.'
"So, do any of you know where to go?" Spike asked.
Roseluck gazed at the river besides them. Suddenly, she had an idea.
"We need to follow this river." the earthpony answered, "That way we don't have to worry about dehydration. Plus my father had a picture of Ponyville and it was next to a river."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" the blue unicorn exclaimed.
The three companions trotted deeper into the forest. Branches clawed at their clothes and fur/scales.
After getting stuck for the fourth time, Spike decided to just take off his shredded shirt, making Roseluck blush a deep shade of red.
"Ugh, Trixie is getting tired of this forest!" the unicorn complained.
"I think we're almost out." Roseluck replied.
"Almost ?" Trixie scoffed.
Roseluck was about to snap back, however she was stopped by a horrible smell.
"What's that smell?" Spike asked, plugging his nose.
"GRRRR."
The group of three stopped in their tacks. Quickly, Spike and Trixie pulled out their weapons while Roseluck picked up a rock.
Suddenly, five creatures jumped out of the treeline. They were seven foot wolves that were covered in twigs and tree branches. There eyes glowed lime green and when they opened their mouths, a horrible stench came out.
"At least I get to use my new sword." Trixie smirked.
"ROOAAR!" the wolves growled, advancing towards their prey.
"I could just breath fire on them." Spike suggested.
"You could start a wildfire." Roseluck reminded.
Suddenly, the seven wolves started to charge at them.
"Attack!" Trixie commanded.
Spike swung his axe at an approaching wolf. The blade smashed right between the wolves eyes, green blood oozed out of the wound and the wolf's eyes rolled up into it's skull. The dragon yanked his axe out of the creature and quickly turned his attention to Roseluck who, for the most part, was holding up pretty well against two wolves with just a rock. However, he didn't want to risk loosing Greenhooves' granddaughter, so he went to help her.
"Take that!" Roseluck shouted, bringing her rock down upon the forest creature's snout. Green blood began to flow out of it's broken snout, and the wolf took two steps back.
But the second wolf pounced upon the mare when she wasn't looking. Roseluck let out a scream and quickly shoved her rock into the beast's mouth. Then from the corner of her eye, she saw Spike throwing his axe right at her captor.
The wolf let out a howl as the blade from the axe dug into his side. The wolf tried desperately to pry the blade from his flesh, however it only made him loose blood faster. Then, Roseluck gave a good strong kick to his chest. The poor creature doubled back, wheezing from the lack of air in his lungs.
Spike grabbed the handle of his axe, now covered in sticky blood, and ripped it away from the wolf's flesh. A large chunk of the wolf's side fell onto the blood soaked ground, exposing the creature's broken ribs. The dragon was about to go in for another attack, however the wolf crumpled to it's injured side and took one last breath.
The beast with the broken snout began to creep towards Roseluck and Spike, who's backs were turned as they checked out the carcase. Trixie saw this and quickly fired a jet of magic at the monster. The wolf's paws were beginning to turn to ice, making it easier for the unicorn to advance towards him. Then Trixie swung her sword and brought the blade down upon the creature's neck.
The wolf thrashed around for a bit, gaining the attention of Trixie's companions and the remaining three wolves, before the blue unicorn pulled her now lime green blade from the creature's flesh. The wolf let out a warning snarl before laying motionless on the lime green floor.
"Grrrrr." the remaining three wolves growled before running away. Leaving the small group of three alone with the four wolf carcases.
"Should we camp here?" Spike asked while harvesting some meat from the fallen wolves.
"What if they come back?" Roseluck asked while whipping some blood off of her forest green shorts.
"Good point." the dragon replied, his claws now full with strips of meat.
"Let's walk until we get out of this pathetic forest, then we can set up camp." Trixie suggested.
Roseluck and Spike nodded their heads in agreement.
Chapter Three: The Stalker
"We're finally out!" Trixie cried out in relief.
The small group gazed at their surroundings in wonder. To their left, there was a small line of bluish grey rocks as tall as a three story building. In front of them there was a grassy meadow dotted with blue, red, and yellow flowers. And to their right ran the cold river.
"This place is beautiful." Roseluck gasped while taking off her backpack.
"I'll get some wood for a fire." Spike announced before plopping the wolf meat onto the ground.
"You're not seriously going to eat that!?" the earthpony asked in disgust.
"What? I read in a book that it's suppose ta taste good." the dragon replied, already searching the forest line for fallen twigs.
Roseluck made a face at the dragon before turning her attention to Trixie who was yanking twigs from her skirt and blouse with no success. Sighing, the red maned mare trotted up towards her companion. Smiling, the mare began to work on getting the twigs that were stuck on the unicorn's back.
But what they didn't know was that they were being watched.
Cracking his back, Spike walked back to the two mares with a bundle of sticks. However, when he dropped the sticks, the purple dragon had a sickly feeling that he was being watched. But he just shrugged it off and spit some green flames onto the pile of sticks. Then he threw the small bundle of meat into the fire and watched the meat beginning to burn.
"Why did you just throw the meat into the fire?"
Spike looked up at Trixie and smiled, "It's the quickest way to cook something. Besides, fire doesn't effect dragons like me." he explained.
"Oohhh." Trixie replied, taking a seat besides Spike.
The two were quiet for awhile, hypnotized by the flames of the fire. However, Trixie soon broke free from the hypnotic flames and looked at the purple dragon.
"Do you um, feel like we're being watched?" She asked.
Spike nodded his head while reaching into the fire and taking out one of the chunks of meat. Once the meat cooled down, he used his sharp claws to cut it in half and gave one piece to the blue unicorn. However, before she could take a bite, a yellow blur flew past them and snatched the cooked meat.
"Hay!" Trixie shouted, already using her magic to levitate her sword.
"Relax, there's still one more chunk of meat left." Spike tried to reassure her. But he was too late, the mare was already galloping after the yellow blur.
Quickly, Spike scampered to his claws and ran over to Roseluck just in case somepony (or something) got hurt.
"Come back here and fight me coward!" Trixie hollered. Her lungs and feet protested, however the unicorn kept running, "That meat is mine!"
Soon, Trixie started to notice that the blur was beginning to slow down. So when Trixie came closer to the blur, she could see wings and an orange and light yellow tail.
So you're a pegasus. The blue unicorn thought as she kept on galloping towards her target.
With the last of her strength, Trixie called forth her magic and used it to grab the pegasus' tail. But because Trixie's never levitated more then one object before, her grasp only lasted for a couple of seconds. However, it did give the unicorn enough time to see her thief.
The pegasus was a soft yellow with a tail that looked like fire. She wore navy blue pants, a yellow t-shirt with a white wing on front, and brown goggles that were over her orange eyes. The mare also had a worn out saddle bag with the cooked meat and a hilt of a sword peaking out from one of the flaps.
Trixie commanded her tired limbs to run once more. Deeper and deeper the two ponies went until the unicorn could feel her legs beginning to grow limp.
"Come on, just a little bit closer." she whispered to herself, "If only I knew how to teleport!"
Suddenly, she drew closer to the thief once again and swung her sword at the pegasus, missing by a hoof every time. So eventually, she gave up and just started to gallop faster and faster.
Though soon, her limbs began to give way, but Trixie kept on trying to go after her speedy foe. But alas, her body would not cooperate and the unicorn crumpled onto the wet grass. Still determined, Trixie made a last ditch effort and began to crawl towards the direction where the pegasi flew.
But alas, the blue unicorn only got three hooves before falling unconscious.
"Ugh, Wha-?" the blue unicorn questioned while gently getting into a sitting position.
"Shhh, you blacked out.You ran for far longer than your body could handle ." Roseluck said in a soothing voice while giving a canteen full of water to the unicorn.
"Did you find out who or what took your food?" Spike questioned.
Trixie nodded weakly, "It was a yellow pegasus with a mane the color of fire." she answered.
Roseluck scratched her chin, "Hmm, that kind sounds like...but that's impossible!" the mare gasped.
"What, what's impossible!?" Spike asked with a hint of fear in his voice.
"A mare with the same description visited my father when I was young. Her name was Spitfire and she was looking for a job. However, my father turned her down and I never saw her again. I-I thought she died." Roseluck explained.
"Did she usually steal food from hungry ponies?" Trixie grumbled before taking a couple of sips from the canteen.
"I don't know, but we have to go after her." Roseluck stated.
"We should get going to Ponyville first. Besides, I'm sure Spitfire was just hungry and scared by our weapons. That's why she probably stole that food from you." Spike explained.
"I guess." Trixie sighed before laying back onto her back and closing her eyes.
While Trixie was asleep, Roseluck was helping Spike put out the fire. But the thought of Spitfire made it hard for her to focus.
"Spike?" the mare asked.
"Hmmm?"
"You and Trixie can go to Ponyville while I go and search for Spitfire." Roseluck suggested.
The purple dragon shook his head, "You could get attacked by those wolves again." he pointed out.
"I can protect myself! Besides, what if she's in trouble?"
"No way, your grandfather would have my scales if something bad happened to you."
"But-"
"Just go to bed."
Roseluck stomped her right hoof like a filly before stomping off towards a cluster of flowers and laying down.
Once the mare was asleep, Spike scattered the sticks around before grabbing a blanket from the bag. Since ponies had fur to keep them warm, Mr. Greenhooves packed a blanket for Spike.
The dragon laid on his side, draped the blanket over his body, and went to sleep.
Soon the three companions were all asleep. Oblivious to the orange eyes that watched them.
Chapter Four: Victor's Mercy
Author's Note
Brass Blare was is Season 3 Episode 4. He was seen playing a trumpet.
Chapter Four: Victor's Mercy
Once the sun rose high above the tallest oak tree, the three companions awoke from their slumber and began to pack their things.
"So, what's the plan for breakfast?" Spike asked as he put his blanket into the backpack.
"I say we skip and be on our way. The faster we start on our journey, the quicker we'll get to Ponyville." Trixie responded.
"Can we at least leave something for Spitfire?" Roseluck pleaded. She was all ready digging through a package of dried fruit that her grandfather packed them. Only to get her wrist slapped by Trixie.
"Spitfire is long gone Rose. Besides, I bet she can just steal from somepony else for all I care." the unicorn stated flatly.
"But what if she comes back on the brick of starvation? Can't we at least give up a couple of dried apples for her?"
Before Trixie could argue, Spike placed a claw on her shoulder and smiled at Roseluck.
"I'm sure we can sacrifice some dried fruit for her. Besides, we can always restock our food in Ponyville." Spike informed.
The blue unicorn sighed but grabbed a small bag of dried apples and tossed it onto the ground.
"There," she stated flatly, "Now lets get going."
"Just a sec." the dragon replied as he dug through the pack. Once he grabbed a grey shirt, Spike quickly put it on and slung the pack onto his back, "Now we can go."
So the group of three began their journey across the meadow. A couple wing beats behind was a pegasus with a fiery mane.
"Are we there yet?" Trixie whined.
"Do you see a town anywhere?" Spike replied back.
As the two bickered, Roseluck let her mind wander back to Spitfire. Hundreds of questions floated around in her mind. Where has she been all these years? Why was she following them? How come Mr. Greenhooves didn't give her a job? The mare asked the last question to her grandfather, but he would always come up with half baked excuses.
Sighing, Roseluck looked at her two friends and was expecting them to still be arguing, but to her surprise they were standing very still. A look of shock and horror gleamed in their eyes.
When Roseluck shifted her gaze in the direction they were looking, a pit began to form in her stomach.
There laid a dark grey pegasus with a two toned blue mane and tail. He wore a light purple shirt and light grey shorts, in his hoof was a bloody silver pickaxe. His aqua eyes were dull and a gaping hole in his neck oozed out blood while flies began to fly around the carcase.
"Who or w-what would d-do something like th-this?" Roseluck stuttered, her forest green eyes scanning the area for a wild beast.
"Look!" Trixie said while pointing a hoof at a trail of red blotches.
In an unspoken agreement, Trixie and Spike started to follow the trail, only to be stopped by Roseluck.
"What are we going to do with the dead body? We can't just leave it here in the open!" the earth pony explained.
"Then why don't you take care of him while Spike and I find his killer?" Trixie suggested.
However, before the earth pony could answer, Trixie and Spike were already following the trail.
Roseluck hummed a sad melody as she dug a hole in the ground with the pickaxe. Once the hole was six feet deep, the mare rolled the stallion into the grave and went to collect some flowers for the stallion.
When Roseluck left, a yellow pegasus crept out of a bush and trotted over to the hole. There she looked down upon the dead stallion and shook her head sadly.
"And you were so young." she whispered to herself.
Suddenly, the pegasus could hear somepony galloping over. Quickly, she spread her wings and took off into the sky. There the pegasus found a medium cloud and quickly flew into it.
"Spitfire!?" a familiar voice called to the sky.
"Not now Roseluck." the mare muttered under her breath sadly.
Meanwhile, Spike and Trixie were following the trail of blood to a large stone.
"That's odd." Spike stated as he took his axe from his back, "The trail stops here."
The blue unicorn quickly levitated her sword out of it's sheath, "Keep an eye out, this could be a deranged killer we're dealing with." Trixie whispered.
"Are you two warriors?" a raspy voice questioned
Spike and Trixie froze in place and quickly tried to locate the voice.
"Y-yes." Spike replied.
Suddenly, a dark brown unicorn with a white mane and tail jumped up onto the boulder. He wore a pair of blue jeans, and four twisted daggers floating above him.
"My name is Brass Blare, a warrior from Applewood." Brass said before using his magic to throw his daggers upon Trixie and Spike.
Quickly, Spike jumped in front of Trixie and covered his face with his arms. Because of his scales, the daggers were only able to give him minor puncture wounds.
As Brass Blare was busy trying to get his weapons out of Spike, Trixie leap from behind the dragon and charged at the dark brown unicorn. However, he was able to get one dagger free just in time to block the mare's blade from slashing his eyes out. Then he gave Trixie a low sweep. The blue unicorn fell onto the hard stone, grazing her chin in the process.
"I'll take that." Brass sneered while swiping Trixie's sword.
Suddenly, a roar could be heard and Spike jumped onto the bolder and striked the unicorn's left hoof. Brass bellowed in pain as his hoof rolled onto the ground below. Ruby red blood began to flow like a waterfall from the wound.
"Damn you!" the unicorn shouted at Spike before lifting up the blue sword and slashing it at the purple dragon. Anger and fear clouded his eyes.
However, Trixie punched the stallion in the groin. Brass doubled over in pain, giving the mare a opportunity to deliver the final blow, a punch in the face.
While Roseluck kept looking at the sky for Spitfire, she suddenly heard a cry. Scared that it belonged to one of her friends, the mare quickly dropped the flowers she collected and galloped off to the direction of the sound.
Once Roseluck came to a large boulder, she flinched at what she saw.
There was a dark brown unicorn with only three hooves laying on the grass. Standing over him was Trixie who had the blade of her sword pointed at his chin. Walking over to Roseluck was Spike who had three daggers sticking out of his chest.
"What happened?" Roseluck asked in fear.
"A warrior by the name of Brass Blare challenged us to a fight." the dragon explained while plucking out a dagger.
"Is everypony okay?" Roseluck questioned.
"Yep, though Brass could use some medical attention."
As the two friends neared the two unicorns, they could hear Trixie saying something to the whimpering Brass.
"Why d-don't y-you just k-kill me now?" the dark brown unicorn stuttered while cradling his injured arm.
"True warriors show mercy." Trixie spat.
"B-but what a-about the Golden Throne? I-if you l-leave all the w-warriors you've fought alive, they could a-always come back and seek revenge on y-you?"
"Revenge? Revenge for what, me leaving them alive?"
At that statement, the stallion quieted down and shifted his gaze to to Roseluck and Spike.
Trixie looked up and smiled at her friends, "Glad you could come Roseluck. I need you to heal this stallion."
Roseluck nodded her head and knelt besides Brass Blare, "I need my medical supplies, a bowl, water, and food." she stated.
The blue unicorn lit up her horn and concentrated on teleporting the bag to them. With some help from Brass, she was able to bring the backpack to her.
"Now while I work on him, you two finish the grave for the other stallion." Roseluck commanded.
As their friend worked on the injured stallion, Spike and Trixie were working on the grave.
"Should we give him his pickaxe back?" Spike asked while holding up a dirty pickaxe.
"Eh, I guess." Trixie replied while levitating dirt into the hole.
Once they were finished covering up the hole, Trixie was humming a song as she placed some flowers onto the grave.
"I hate graves." Spike sighed, "Dead bodies give me the creeps."
"Well I like them, for the dead always have a story to tell." Trixie replied, getting a strange look from Spike.
Once the blue unicorn placed the last flower on the grave, they trotted off towards the bolder.
When Roseluck finished wrapping a fifth bandage around the gash, she helped Brass stand up.
"There, now make sure you go to the nearest hospital so they can treat it better." the mare informed.
"Thank you." Brass replied before trotting off.
The mare took a deep breath before taking out a pack of dried fruit.
"Lunch is served." She stated happily.
Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter. Chapter Five: Ponyville
"So this is Ponyville." Spike gasped in awe at the bustling town.
"They don't even have a wall to protect themselves and they don't seem worried!" Trixie exclaimed.
"Think we'll find a guide to help us up the mountain to Canterlot?" Roseluck questioned.
"I'm sure." the unicorn stated happily.
So the three friends trotted into the unprotected town and gazed in awe at all the shops and ponies who flocked the streets.
"Excuse me!" the earth pony called out to a stallion who was wearing a white shirt with a red bow tie, a sport jacket, and black tight pants held up with skinny suspenders.
"Yes?" the rich brown stallion asked, "Though you must be quick, for I am trying to find my companion."
"Do you know where my friends and I can find a guide who will take up up the mountain to Canterlot?" Rose explained.
"Hmmm, well I met a mare at Sugar Cube Corner who kept telling me how much she enjoys hiking, maybe she can take you to the place you seek." the stallion informed before taking out a silver pocket watch, "Now I must be going, for I'm running out of time." and with that, he shoved the watch into his pocket and galloped off into the bustling streets.
"Weird." Trixie piped up, "But let's go check out Sugar Cube Corner anyways." with that, she, Spike, and a confused Roseluck trotted down the cobble stone road in search of the little bakery.
However, Spike soon stopped once realization hit him in the gut, "Uh guys, where is Sugar Cube Corner anyways?" he questioned.
Trixie shrugged, "Just look for a building that looks like a sweet shop." she exclaimed.
Roseluck looked around at all the simple houses and nodded her head in agreement, "Shouldn't be that hard if the owners decorated their shop all out." she inquired.
"Well that was easy." Spike stated as his mouth watered from the scent of gem cookies.
The small group gazed up at a building that looked almost exactly like a cake. The roof looked like it was made out of chocolate frosting, while the walls looked like sugar cookies.
"Yep." Trixie replied before marching into the bakery, her two friends following behind.
Once they entered, they were ambushed by a pink pony who dragged them over to a booth with a window that overlooked the town square.
"Hello and welcome to Sugar Cube Corner! My name is Pinkie Pie and I can take your order." Pinkie Pie chimed. She wore a light pink skirt, a white blouse, and a dark pink tie with little balloons imprinted on it.
"Actually, we're looking for a pony who'd help us climb the mountain to Canterlot." Roseluck explained politely.
The pink mare grinned and quickly did a salute, "Pinkie Pie, expert mountain climber at your service warriors!" she shouted a little to loudly.
"How did you know that we are warriors?" Spike questioned.
"You're caring weapons and want to go to Canterlot." Pinkie pointed out.
"Anyways," Trixie cut in, "How much do we owe you?" the blue unicorn asked while tightening her blue tie.
"Nothing." Pinkie replied, "Now let's get going, we'll want to reach the mountain before it gets dark."
"W-why?" Spike gulped.
"Oh no reason, it's just suppose to rain tonight, and I'd rather sleep in a nice dry cave then on cold wet grass." Pinkie sang.
So the three companions followed the pink mare out of the bakery and towards the town square.
"Do you think Spitfire will be able to get out of the rain tonight?" Roseluck asked Trixie.
"Why are you still thinking about that thief?" the unicorn snapped back.
"Spitfire was probably just hungry and was terrified of you and Spike because of your weapons."
Suddenly, their guide stopped and spun around to face them, "Are you talking about the Spitfire?" she questioned, her eyes seemed to shrink just by the name.
"Yes, why do you look so scared?" the gardener replied in confusion.
"Cause a few years back she challenged Blueblood to a battle but lost. However, before he could finish her, she fled. Now King Blueblood won't rest until he finally gets to drive his blade into her heart." Pinkie whispered, "Why else do you think he still allows this 'Game' to continue?"
"You mean that once you become King or Queen, you can make it so no warrior can challenge you!?" the dragon gasped in awe.
"Exactly, my bet is Blueblood thinks that Spitfire will once again challenge him to a battle." Pinkie Pie explained before continuing on their track through town square.
However, the others just stared at her in silence as they followed her hoofsteps.
Grandfather must've known about this! Roseluck thought to herself. If he did give Spitfire a job and Blueblood found out, our entire village could've been in trouble!
"That thief was able to escape King Blueblood!" Trixie wondered in awe, "Maybe she isn't too bad after all. Though, I'm still going to have her repay me for my meat she stole."
Spike gazed at the sky and frowned, "If Blueblood is looking for Spitfire, then why haven't I seen his soldiers looking for her?" he questioned.
The moon just rose to the sky and tiny droplets of water started falling from the sky as the small group came towards a large mountain with a steep walkway leading up the mountain.
"Finally! I can't wait to defeat King Blueblood!" Trixie stated excitedly.
Roseluck nodded her head but kept her attention focused on the sky. It's been awhile since she's seen Spitfire, so it was no wounder why the earth pony mare was a little worried.
However, when her pale green eyes drifted to a large cloud, she gasped in amazement as the mare saw a familiar pegasus shooting across the night sky and towards Canterlot. Roseluck wanted to wave the pegasus down, but the call of a pink mare interrupted her.
However, what Roseluck didn't know was that the pegasus did notice her.
Once the blazing yellow sun reached the top of an old willow tree, Trixie was awaken by the smell of waffles. As the unicorn arouse from her slumber, she quickly did her morning stretches and walked up to where her friends and guide were eating.
"Looks like sleepy head is finally awake." Spike joked before biting into his emerald flavored waffle.
"Ha ha." the blue unicorn stated flatly before taking a plastic plate and a waffle from Pinkie Pie.
"Anyways," Roseluck piped up, "Pinkie Pie was just about to tell us about King Blue Blood's fighting style."
Trixie raised an eye brow and looked at the happy-go- lucky mare who was licking whip cream off her waffle.
"How do you know his fighting style?" the unicorn questioned.
"Easy, I was visiting my friend when I saw him battling a pretty wimpy pegasus guard." Pinkie explained.
"So what is his fighting style?" Spike asked.
"Blue Blood is really good at blocking up cuts, however when he's either board of the fighting or thinks that you're going to win he shoots a blast of lighting at you." the mare informed.
"Good to know." the unicorn said, "Now let's get going." Trixie finished up the last of her breakfast and quickly threw the plate into her pack before slinging it over her shoulder and trotting towards the mountain.
"Wait!" a voice said before jumping out of a bush, blocking Trixie's path.
The unicorn had a white coat, blue eyes, and a purple mane and tail. She wore a simple light bluish white dress, black boots, and had a bow and arrow levitating in front of her.
"You are a warrior, no?" she asked.
"Y-yes." Trixie gulped, still startled from the sudden appearance.
"My name is Rarity, and I challenge you to a fight." Rarity stated promptly.
Trixie smirked and levitated her blue sword in front of her, "Ready when you are."
"Begin!" Pinkie Pie shouted, causing Roseluck to cover her ears.
Rarity shot an arrow and it immediately caught on fire. However, Trixie easily blocked it with her sword and charged at her opponent. Quickly the white unicorn shot an arrow into the earth and it immediately sprout a path of ice, causing Trixie to fall on her bottom and allowing Rarity to give her opponent a good strong kick to the jaw.
"AARRGH!" The blue unicorn cried out in pain. She spat some blood and a tooth on the icy ground and looked at the smug unicorn evilly.
Thinking that victory was hers, Rarity shot an electric arrow at Trixie, but the blue unicorn used her sword to slice through the arrow and then she threw her sword right at her. Before Rarity could dodge, the blade sunk into her right shoulder.
She screamed out in pain, crimson red blood trickled from her wound and onto the grass.
"Give up?" Trixie questioned smugly, whipping some blood off of her lips.
"N-never." Rarity stuttered, tears were cascading down her cheeks as she tried to pull the sword from her shoulder, only to stop as more blood began to flow from her wound.
"Please just stop this!" Roseluck begged, "Let me heal Rarity and we'll just call this a draw!"
"No!" both unicorns exclaimed.
"We must fight until one falls, it's the warrior way." Rarity informed.
Trixie summoned her magic to grasp the hilt of her sword and pulled it out of Rarity's shoulder. The unicorn screamed out in pain and almost lost her breakfast once she saw her blood streaming out of her deep gash.
"T-take th-this." the white unicorn gasped before unleashing an electric arrow.
Before Trixie could deflect it with her sword, the arrow was quickly in engulfed in green flames and landed on the ground in ashes.
"Spike, what the hell!?" Trixie shouted angrily at the glaring purple dragon.
"Roseluck is right." he stated flatly, "You two are wasting your energy, even if Trixie or you win you'll be too drained to even climb the mountain, much less fight the king." Spike addressed Rarity, earning him a disapproving glare by Trixie.
"I...see." Rarity said.
"Besides, isn't your guys' goal to stop the king?" Pinkie Pie asked.
Rarity bit her lip and gazed at the group of ponies in front of her. It's been a long time since she's seen so much friendship before. It almost brought a tear to the unicorn's eye.
"Come on, just call it a draw and we can get going." Spike sighed, clearly getting a little impatient.
Stomping her hoof in defeat, Trixie gazed at Rarity and held out a hoof, "They're right ya know." she exclaimed.
Rarity reluctantly bumped her hoof against her opponent's and quickly took a few steps back.
"Trixie?" the white unicorn asked, "If you get to his castle before me, give Blue Blood a kick in the bottom for me."
"Same." Trixie smirked before looking at her friends, "Let's go."
"But I need to heal her first." Roseluck inquired.
Trixie and Rarity were about to argue, only to be interrupted by Pinkie Pie.
"That sounds fine by me! I'll leave some rope and a pickaxe behind." the mare chimed before taking out the supplies from her mane and giving them to a baffled Roseluck.
"But-" Spike said, only to be interrupted by Pinkie.
"Buts are for dogs, now let's go!" the pink mare sang while dragging Trixie and Spike into the opening of the cave which would lead them up the mountain.
Once they left, Roseluck opened her first aide kit from her bag and looked at the white unicorn.
"So," the earth pony began, "This may hurt a bit."
Spitfire bit her lip and gazed at Roseluck who was still treating to Rarity's wounds.
"At least I know you'll be safe." the pegasus whispered quietly before spreading her wings and taking off. She needed to stop this once and for all, before Roseluck's friends get themselves killed.
King Blueblood gazed out of an open window and smiled as he saw a familiar pegasus flying towards him.
"So she finally decided to show up." he mused before taking out his sword.
"Blueblood!" he heard the mare shout, "I challenge you to a battle!"
The king bowed mockingly before walking away from the door, allowing Spitfire to come inside the castle.
Fire lit inside Spitfire's eyes as she held her blazing sword in her hooves and charged at the smug king; Blueblood took his sword and charged at her as well like a stampede of buffalo.
Their swords clashed, sending sparks into the air. Grunting, Blueblood swung his sword into a wide arc, aiming it at Spitfire's neck. However, the mare was quick on her hooves and dodged his attack and stabbed his exposed hoof. The king let out a shout in pain before lashing out and kicking Spitfire's stomach.
She collapsed onto the floor, struggling to refill her lungs with air. Laughing, the king struck Spitfire right in the shoulder.
"ARRGH!" Spitfire cried out in pain.
"Give up?" Blueblood hissed.
Gritting her teeth, the mare grabbed her sword and swiped it across Blueblood's chest, leaving a deep gash in it's wake. The stallion yelled and stumbled back. Drops of red crimson dying the white marble floor red.
Spitfire yanked the now bloody sword out of her shoulder and held it in her other hoof before slowly getting up and walking towards Blueblood.
"G-give up?" she stuttered.
King Blueblood gritted his teeth in anger. He was not going to be defeated by a mare! So, with a laugh he ignited his horn again and unleashed a bolt of electricity directly at the pegasus.
Chapter Seven: The Finale Battle
Chapter Seven: The Finale Battle
"There." Roseluck stated happily once she had finished bandaging Rarity up.
The unicorn nodded and the two mares quickly stood up. However, when Roseluck turned around to pack up her things, her blood ran cold as she felt a blade against her neck.
"I do appreciate you healing me," Rarity informed as she pressed her blade harder against Roseluck's neck, "But King Blueblood hired me to stop all warriors from reaching him, and that's exactly what I'm going to do."
"I'm not even a warrior." the earth pony gulped.
Rarity smirked, "Nice try Roseluck, but you can't fool me-"
The unicorn let out a moan before collapsing on the ground, revealing Roseluck's grandfather with a crumbled brick.
"We need to go now." he replied urgently.
"Come on!" Trixie shouted.
Trixie, Spike, and Pinkie Pie were pushing through crowds of confused upper class unicorns. Soon, the small group came to King Blueblood's castle. A large, pearl white building with grape vines snaking around the marble white columns, and tall windows closed and with velvet red curtains drawn closed.
"Go and get them!" Pinkie shouted before stopping.
While Trixie went ahead, Spike stopped and turned around in confusion.
"You aren't coming with us?" he questioned.
The mare shook her head sadly, "I'm sorry, but I promised to get you up the mountain and I did my job. I'd love to watch you guys battle King Blueblood, but I have a family to get back to." she explained.
Spike nodded his head and took out his axe before heading inside the castle, leaving a smiling Pinkie Pie in his wake.
"Watch it!" shouted a purple unicorn servant as Trixie galloped past her.
The blue unicorn just rolled her eyes and kept galloping through the castle. She was so close to becoming Queen of Equestria that she barely even acknowledged Spike by her side.
"Almost there." she muttered under her breath as she neared two grand oak doors. Quickly, she levitated her sword out of it's shelf and held it above her head.
Sighing, Spike jogged past his determined friend and opened one of the doors just in time for Trixie to charge past him. Rolling his eyes, he slowly entered into the throne room as well. For, he knew that the throne room could be his grave.
"I-I'm a what?" Roseluck asked as she and her grandfather galloped through Canterlot.
"You are a descendent of the great Knight Starswirled the Bearded." Greenhooves explained, "Before his death he casted a spell that allowed his fighting skills to be past down from generation to generation."
The two stopped at the front door of Blueblood's castle. Mr. Greenhooves took a deep breath and pulled out a small dagger from his bag and gave it to his granddaughter.
"This was Starswirled's most prized weapon. The blade is a Moonlight Dragon's talon, the grip is made out of bedrock, and it was forged together with the flame of the legendary Golden Phoenix." The old stallion placed a hoof on Roseluck's shoulder and smiled, "Use this to win that throne and stop this blasted game."
Roseluck took a step back and gazed at the blade, "But Trixie and Spike," she began.
"Are no match for Blueblood." Greenhooves interrupted, "The only reason I let them go was because I thought that they'd come back after a couple of hours or so." he informed.
The mare wrapped a hoof around the dagger and slid it into her bag. Then she stepped towards the castle's door and took a deep breath.
"B-before I do," she piped up, "Why didn't you go and defeat Blueblood yourself?"
"Because I am not of Starswirled's bloodline" Greenhooves replied.
So with a quick nod, Roseluck opened the door and trotted inside.
Trixie and Spike gasped in shock as they saw Blueblood in all his glory standing over a bloody pegasus.
"I-isn't that," Spike whispered.
"Spitfire." Trixie finished.
Blueblood's mane was disheveled, his clothes were ripped and bloody, and his normally cool eyes were bloodshot. However, Spitfire got the worst of it. Her mane and fur were soaked in blood while her clothes were torn to shreds.
"Looks like we have an audience." Blueblood grinned.
Spitfire raised her head a couple of centimeters and gazed at Trixie. "Run." she coughed, "He's a mo-" However, before she could finish Blueblood sank an orange sword into her throat. The pegasus cried out in pain for a few seconds before death took her.
"So," Blueblood said causally while pulling the blade out of Spitfire's throat, "Who's next?"
Trixie stared at the king in fear. Her fighting spirit gone. How could somepony kill another and act so casually?
"Oh come on." The king sighed, "Don't tell me you came all the way for nothing!"
Spike took a step forward and raised his axe with a shaky grasp. Flinching as Blueblood laughed and kicked Spitfire's body aside like a toy.
"Spike don't." Trixie whispered.
However, before the dragon could reply, he was knocked to his claws by a blur that smelled very familiar.
"Roseluck!?" Spike and Trixie gasped in union.
"Blueblood," Roseluck stated flatly before pulling out her dagger, "I challenge you to a battle." She caught a quick glance at what remained of Spitfire and that only added to her rage. The one pony that she's been trying to find was murdered by this so called king. Now, it was time for payback.
Roseluck charged and swung her dagger at King Blueblood. Laughing, Blueblood dodged the blade easily and slammed a hoof into the mare's chest. She let out a grunt in pain before jumping out of the way as the king tried to slice her head off. However, as Roseluck moved, the tip of her blade grazed Blueblood's cheek.
"AAARRGH!!" King Blueblood cried out in pain as the graze turned fire red, "What kind of blade is that?" he questioned.
"My great, great, great grandfather's." Roseluck replied before throwing the dagger. It's blade sinking into Blueblood's chest.
King Blueblood was lost for words. The pain of a million scorpions forced him to collapse on the ground. Fresh hot tears streamed down his cheeks and he tried to take the blade out, but using his magic only brought more pain.
"You actually defeated him." Trixie piped up in amazement.
"That means-" Spike said, only to shushed by Trixie.
Roseluck stared at the once ruler of Equestria before walking over the the body and pulling out the bloody dagger. Quickly, she checked his pulse. Only to sigh in relief as she heard his heartbeat.
"The blade doesn't kill." Mr. Greenhooves explained while walking into the throne room, "It only causes great pain."
"Master, w-what are you doing here?" Spike stuttered before making a hastily bow.
"You do not need to bow before me." Greenhooves chuckled, "But if you must bow, then bow to the new ruler of Equestria, Queen Roseluck."
Trixie stomped her hoof, "No fair! I came all this way for nothing!" she whined like a foal.
"I don't even what to rule." Roseluck piped up, "I just want to head home and tend to my flowers."
"Well the day isn't over yet," Trixie replied, "I could always be your next challenger."
Seeing what she was planing, Roseluck smiled and gave her grandfather the blade, "Sure, hooves on hooves."
Trixie beamed and threw her sword by Spike's feet, "Deal."
The sun's rays awoke the new queen. Smiling, she slipped out of bed, stretched, and trotted slowly out of her bedroom and into the throne room.
"Looks like sleepy head is finally awake." Spike joked. He was now dressed in royal armor, the newly polished armor seemed to sparkle in the sunlight.
Suddenly, a familiar pink blur rushed up to the mare and gave her a bear hug. "Ooooo, I knew you could do it!"
Mr. Greenhooves smiled and patted the new queen on the shoulder. "So, what are you going to do now?" he questioned.
"I don't know master." she yawned. "But where is..?"
"She's still recovering from the beating you gave her last night." Greenhooves replied sheepishly.
The queen blushed in embarrassment. Maybe she should've gone a little easier on her.
"Well whatever you do," Spike piped up, "We'll be behind you all the way."
The mare smiled before shifting her gaze to the blue, summer sky. Today was going to be quite a busy day, but with her friends by her side, nothing is impossible.
Author's Note
Yes I know this is really short, but I hope you enjoyed it anyways.
Blueblood sipped his jasmine tea quietly. He was sitting on the famous Golden Throne which out looked the empty throne room, saved for two guards dressed in silver armor.
The king wore a simple white suit with a blue bow tie, black pants, and a red velvet robe. His trusty golden sword was at his side, and so was the sapphire encrusted crown. Too small for his head.
After finishing off the last of his tea, King Blueblood set his cup down and was about to climb out of his throne, however he was interrupted by one of the guards.
"My king," a pegasus guard said while slowly taking out his bronze sword, "I wish to challenge you."
Blueblood raised an eyebrow, "You know what happens to the looser, right Flash Sentry?" he asked.
The pegasus nodded his head and lifted up his sword. Blueblood chuckled a little as he used his magic to levitated his sword in front of him.
"It was nice knowing you." Blueblood said slyly before the two clashed swords together.
Flash Sentry swung his sword wildly at Blueblood, however the king dodged his opponent's blade and sliced a deep gash into the guard's armor. When Flash took a step back, the king then stabbed his sword at the pegasus' now exposed chest. The golden blade sunk into Flash's chest, causing the pegasus to cry out in pain and crumble to the marble floor. Blood from the wound splashed onto the white marble floor.
With a smile, Blueblood levitated his sword out of the pegasi's chest and lowered the blade against Flash Sentry's exposed neck. However, the pegasi gave a strong kick to Blueblood's right leg. Causing the king take a step back. Then Flash grasped the hilt of his sword tightly and slashed the bronze sword at the unicorn.
With a smirk, the king blocked the blow with his sword and then used his magic to slam the guard onto the ground. Then Blueblood pointed his blade at Flash's exposed neck.
"Please!" Flash Sentry whimpered, tears beginning to flow down his cheeks.
"Tisk, tisk. You knew what happens to the looser. Yet you tried to beat me in a sword fight." Blueblood whispered, making the blade of his sword dig into the guard's neck. Red blood beginning to trickle out from the wound.
"I-I won't fight you ever again, I promise!" Flash yelled.
"Liar!" Blueblood hissed. Then he used his magic to set his blade on fire before diving the now burning blade right into the guard's flesh. The smell of burning flesh making the king smile.
Flash Sentry let out one final scream before slamming his head onto the floor, his eyes rolling into the back of his head.
The king separated his sword from the neck of the lifeless pony and looked at the only guard left.
"Get the servants and tell them to clean up this mess." the unicorn ordered before wiping off the blood from his blade and heading towards the door.
"Y-yes my king." the guard stuttered before heading out the same door and galloping towards the servants' quarters.
Once the guard was gone, Blueblood grinned and looked out a window, "Let the games begin." he whispered quietly to himself.
