Previous Chapter

The ship Broken Blade was currently on was to make a delivery of 'Applejack's Hard Cider' to Las Pegasus. She had this in mind because she was to be hiding in a train car from Las Pegasus to a town called Ponyville. This was was currently famous for six of its occupants. Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle. they were the Elements of Harmony, and not to mention Twilight was a princess, she would want to hop to Appleoosa quick as she could. She heaved a great sigh, and waited.


Broken Blade had just slipped out of the ship once it had docked to the shore, when a guard stopped her.

"Um, ma'am, were you just on that ship?" Said the guard.

"Uhm..." The mare said, reaching a hoof into her robes and grabbing her dagger, not yet pulling it out. "No?"

"Oh, okay, sorry to keep you waiting, ma'am." The guard said, moving away from her

She sighed, a little dazed at his reply- This is going to be easy. - She thought, and smiled.


It was early into the night when she came across a bar name 'The Drunken Alicorn'. Thirsty, she decided to enter the run down place, fully capable to defend herself. Entering the bar, it was dark, with only a few magic lamps hanging over the few tables and bar that were in the building. A few lonely stallions littered the bar and tables, with the occasional mare being offered drink, which were declined at first glance for fear of the obvious.

Broken Blade sat down next to a young mare, who was smiling slightly, seemingly unaware of the surrounding scene. The young mares violet eyes glance at the drinks lining the walls in front of her. Dark pink mane hanging freely down her face, tail of the same color was being used as a makeshift cushion on the hard wood stool. Her dark yellow coat shining, as if she had recently taken a bath.

A stallion slid up next to her, hoofing her a drink with a wide smile on his face. Broken Blade sniffed the air and frowned. He now hated that mystery stallion, she could smell the drugs, she was used to being drugged by now... Sadly. Grabbing a small throwing knife from her coat, one of ten, she threw it at the glass, hitting it with the hilt of the blade, as to only spill, but not shatter the glass.

The mare looked surprised, and the stallion just looked pissed. Looking at the mares shocked face, Broken Blade said, "Don't drink drugs kid."

At those words, the yellow mare looked on, in even more shock, at the stallion seated next to her. As Broken Blade stood up to grab her throwing knife, the yellow mare stood up and scrambled back, practically hiding behind Broken Blade.

Broken Blade decided to ask, "Kid, what're you doing in a place like this?" Broken Blade drew her obsidian knife as the stallion inched towards her small throwing knife, pointing it at him.

"I-I was waiting for him." She whispered, pointing at the stallion

"A friend of yours?" Broken Blade asked.

"C-coltfriend."

"Guess you two'll be breaking up. I hate being in these situations, I'll be going." When Broken Blade turned around, the stallion made a dash to the discarded throwing knife and threw it with his magic. Broken Blade turned around and put of a forehoof, lodging the small knife into her leg, instead of its intended target, her head.

"Fuck!" She screamed. Pulling out two more throwing knifes, she threw them, one hitting the wall behind the stallion as the second hit him in the eye, killing him. No one even sparred a glance as the yellow mare scream, tears streaming down her face.

As Broken Blade turned to leave, the yellow mare screamed, "Why'd you have t-to kill him!?!"

Broken Blade was about to answer, but stopped to think, sighed, and left the bar, her head low. The mare followed after her, looking for guards as she did so.

Broken Blade pivoted around, facing the mare who thought she was unseen, and stated, "I don't know why.", Tears were rimming her eyes. Why did she feel guilty, watching the other mare who had curled up into a ball, begging for her life when Broken Blade had turned around.
