I glided delicately over the Country, my bags heavy with gold and diamond. I had just robbed some items from the royal treasury and was now calmly making my way back home. When there was a bump in the breeze or I flapped my wings, the fortune-holding trinkets jingled and clinked. I overlooked the town, careful to keep myself hidden as I flew back to my hideout. I finally lost sight of society, and I knew I was back in the Outerland. I looked at the plains that shimmered with late night dew, happy to be back. The Outerlands were always so quiet. I let in a deep breath, then let it out as I leaded myself and tons of loot back to my Base. When I landed, only a few hoofsteps away from my Base, I was startled by a big colt nosing around in my stuff.

I hissed angrily and he spun around, ready to battle.

I dropped my trinkets in my Base and grasped my crossbow. I fitted an arrow into it and pelted up into the sky. I got his leg with my strong, long range shot. It could have have killed him had he been a mare.

He grunted and got out a spear, whose tip was made from the beak of a Cosmic Owl. I fitted another arrow into my crossbow, but it fell down as I just barely missed his spear. I smirked and swooped down. I grabbed it and threw it at him.

He caught it in his hooves and ran towards me.

I darted up from the dusty Earth again and grabbed my moonstone and phoenix feather sword. Lightning zapped from the tip and I charged down. It almost hit him, but he only got a bit of his tail clipped.

He turned around with a rear and the two of us locked weapons.

I saw him slip a smirk as he charged the spear through my ear.

I fell to the ground with a scream. My ear was bleeding so much, it stained the Earth and made it look like Hell. Pure fury filled me. Before I even knew what was happening, my eyes gained a neon green with purple smoke rising out of the sides. Lightning zapped from my hooves. He walked up to me with a look that told me he though he had one. I suddenly turned around faster than light, grabbed his spear, and charged it through his heart. My corruption ended and I stole all the gold he had from his Base that night.
