The Assassin's Creed

I rushed back to Ponyville, my dreams usually are just there to haunt me but I had a feeling that this time may come true if I didn't take action. I ran non-stop back to Ponyville and prayed that my friends were alright.

I reached Ponyville to find that the place was clear and quiet. Too quiet and too empty especially in the daytime. I felt a presence and turned to that direction to find nothing there. I swear that there was something there, or somepony there. You can't tell me it was nothing.

My suspicions arousing, I started rushing towards Lorani's cottage, as it was the only place I know how to get to. My heart sank in memory of the nightmares but I pushed on as I ran.

You're becoming too soft, don't waste your time with friends! I thought. But they are my friends! The only family I have left! It's too late to turn back now, the Assassins from another brotherhood has arrived. I don't know what they want but I feel for a strange reason that they want my friends. Either to break me or just because they're an asset or danger to them. Either way, I have to protect them, it's kill or be killed now.

I triggered my Eagle Vision, indicating recent footsteps also distinguished by hostile or friendly. I found many red footprints as I sprinted towards them, I don't know if her friends were taken but I know if they were taken they would be put in a place near each other.

I followed the footprints until it reached a great castle in Ponyville. A castle? That doesn't seem right... too open, it's too obvious! It can't be but the footprints lead to here.

That's when it hit me, they have been watching me. I may not be the best of friends but Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity, Twilight, Rainbow and Pinkie Pie were still the only friends I had. The Assassins knew that they were close to me. They took them away from me. The Assassins may not have taken their lives but I will take their lives before they take my friends' lives.

I silently went to two oblivious Assassins and in the last second I rushed towards them. I sweep-kicked the right Assassin so that they fell to the ground and used my two hidden blades to slice the left Assassin. For the finishing blow I entered my hidden blade into the fallen Assassin.

Using my enhanced hearing I could hear very small chatter that sounded like my friends. I ran towards the direction of that sound, accidentally alerting more guards and making some guards draw their swords.

I ran into a pack of guards which hit my in the head with their spear. I drew my sword and waited for a strike. The guard with the spear attacked first, his spear being lunged towards my chest. I jumped and forced the spear into the ground, now balanced on the spear, striking the guard in the neck with my sword.

As another guard attempted to attack, I brought the sword behind my neck and spun around, using the hilt of my sword to smash it into their temple, knocking them out. Going into the offense now, I rushed towards two guards as I jumped at one guard, bolting past him as I slit his throat using my hidden blades.

I jumped at a wall close to the second guard and brought down my sword, cleanly penetrating their neck. The last guard attempted to strike me but I deflected his sword and slammed my hoof into their knee. I quickly brought my sword up, skewering his throat.

As I ran, following the footsteps, I realized that my friends were closer than ever.

I promise you my friends, this will happen again but next time, I will be there for you.
