The Dark Mage

Shining Armor had taken the liberty to oversee Arcane's execution.

'Here comes the pain train!' the still hallucinating executioner said as he raised his axe above his head.

'Alright gotta think of a plan before it comes down he frantically thought as he placed his flank on the block.

'Um... Excuse me, sir?' Shining said at the executioner 'You've placed the wrong end of the convicted on the block'

'Huh?' he said dumbfounded as he realized his mistake and adjusted Arcane once more. After a few more times of repositioning Arcane and hushing the crowd. The executioner finally ripped his axe in the right way and was swung his axe as hard as could

'Heres my big moment! Arcane thought as the axe went down in slow motion. He quickly moved his head out of the axe's path... But sadly he wasn't quick. The axe was getting ready to swing again as Arcane held his head in pain.

'Faust dammit!' He shouted in pain due to the fact that the axe had hit his horn, but hadn't hit hard enough to snap the bone, just leave a large crack.

'Ooopsies! Lemme try again' The executioner said as he swung his axe again this time hitting the base of his horn and finally ending the magical bone's misery. The guards immediatly came rushing down ready to subdue the convict as he punched the executioner in the face and grabbed his axe. He started swinging it wildly at the guards as he ran past them since they had moved back for fear of losing their heads.

'Guards! Kill that pony!' Shining screamed as he pushed the cowering guards out of the way and decided he was going to it himself as he already had his special armor on along with his sword.

'SHEEEEEET!' Arcane screeched as his legs took him as fast as he could out of the castle. A local weather pony was just on his way to the cloud factory after finding out that his wife was a stallion, he saw the prince chasing a hornless unicorn wielding an axe with a golden sword.

'Huh, I've seen stranger!' he thought as he paused and continued on his way

'I'm gonna kill that BITCH!' Shining shouted just enough for the entire population to hear including Arcane. But he had already ran out of the Chrystal Empire territory and had to turn around due to the dangers that Arcane didn't know about. 'Hehe, we'll just leave him to the griffon scouts and the dragons' he said to his royal guards that had only caught up then.

'Yes sir!' said the guards 'What will we do now?'

'Now? We wait' Shining said as he broke out a sly smile
