Destiny

"Like I said, you're like me. Now, are you with me, or not?"

"Um... I don't know.."

"Oh come on, you never know, it can be fun. Adventure is awaiting, are you really going to continue this sad, depressing life?" Sun Fire stared me in the eyes, her mind swarming with so many questions. She wanted to ask me so much, but how was she to do it?

"Yes, I will. I don't care about adventure, or fun. I care about my survival. You rebellious scum, you don't know what you're getting yourselves into. All this adventure, and excitement, and asking questions about the past. You should all burn at the fiery gates of Pony Hell for all I care. In fact, I should just kill you now, and let Princess Twilight continue to bask in her glory. Yes, it sounds... perfect."

What had happened to her?! A moment ago, she was all insecure, and now, she is murderous! What... the... heck?

She glared at me, with burning eyes.

Does she have Multiple Personality Disorder or something?

She stamped her hoof upon the ground, preparing to charge.

No no no no! You're better than this Sun Fire! Though I don't know you, I'm sure you are!

She lowered her head, pointing her sharp horn in my direction.

This is it Frost. This is the end!

She charged my way, and I braced myself for impact. But, it never came.. I slowly opened my eyes to find her on the ground, motionless. An arrow jutted from her head, a small amount of blood slowly trickling from the entry hole.

"Who the?" I heard rustling come from the tree to my left and saw a pegasus leap to the branch near it.

"Hey! You!" They looked my way, bow slung around their back. Their face was hidden by a hood, and they were cloaked in some funky getup. What they were wearing covered up the majority of their body, hiding their flank, mane, and tail. They continued to stare at me, then jumped down in front of me, tumbling as they landed. Upon standing, they had their bow drawn and pointed at me.

"Should I kill you?"

"Kill me?!"

"Why not, you seem like easy pickings. But, I will decide later. Now, tell me, what are you doing out here?" They removed their hood, revealing a beautiful mare with a long, flowing golden mane. I gazed at her in awe.

"May I help you? You seem to be... broken." I shook my head, letting my mane fall in front of my eyes.

"No, no help. Um, can you... Lower the weapon please?"

"I suppose so. Again, tell me, what are you doing out here?"

"Well, have you... ever heard of the... the... the Seekers?"
