Inner Monsters

I live in days when all is a lost cause. The start of the Equestrian wars. Is upon my town and we have nowhere to go. And a det to my country I owe. I fight for freedom for my friends and for my life. I hope to end this pointless strife.

I lift my sword high and throw it down onto the guard. Blood splatters into my face and I wipe it away. The bodies of friends and foes lay lifeless on the battle field. I sigh and shake the tears from my eyes. As I run up the stairs I hear banging from above and prepare for a fight to the death. As I dash up the stairs in a flash of many colors I hear them running after me. I remove my sword from my belt and slash it in their direction. I hear the screams of pain as they fall down the blood-stained staircase.

I wish I didn't have to do this. Causing so much pain is messing with my head. Every night I dream of a desolate battle field covered in red and as I look up I see not Nightmare Moon on the throne but me. At first I couldn't make any sense of it but soon I realized what it meant. We all have our own inner monster. Mine is a desire to win. I now know that I need to let go of desire and just do what I can to succeed and if I fail..."I can't fail! This is a war. It's win or die."

As I turn towards the top of the stairs I sigh. "I wish you all were here to help me," I murmur. Suddenly, I remember all my friends and the elements. "I need to go and get them." I remember the six saviors and dash out of the castle. Small droplets of rain transform into showers and as the downpour turns into a storm I launch into flight. The sound of lightning echos through my head as I soar into the everlasting night. I ready my sword to strike whatever monsters hide in the dark. "Maybe they can help me stop this cursed war."
