The Iced Vandal

The dark trees of the Everfree loomed menacingly overhead. All Equestria had a subtle rigidness in the light of the moon. Who can blame the poor ponies: just last week its keeper turned on them. Just last week, its keeper tried to enslave them all to an eternal nightmare. The innocent slept in their beds, while the sinister worked the night away in service to their princess. Even in here, in the Everfree, thing's were no different.

And Celestia, for her cruelty, would have her body cast down to Tartarus where filth like her belongs.

The gaping hole in the creature's neck pulsed for a moment, then it opened wide and let out a piercing shriek. Ribbon Wishes trembled and clenched her teeth at the sound. She wanted to cover her ears, but if any of her hooves left the stone platform, she could be swept up and be devoured.
