Prologue

May 13

I have no idea how I ended up in this predicament. I thought that my life was pretty peaceful, until this happened.

It started off 3 days ago, where I was just in my house, feeling depressed about my mother's death. She had been brutally murdered by a somepony that waltzed into Equestria and looked for its next victim 2 days before. I wasn't there to protect her because of how much I worked at the Rainbow Factory. When I got back home, I saw my mother lying on a pool of blood. My agony and torment had plagued my memories. Even turning dreams into nightmares. There was a huge funeral for her on the next day. Many of my friends had mourned for her loss. I, as her own flesh and blood, had covered the coffin lid with tears of sadness. I swore to myself that I'll find the killer and avenge her.

However, that all changed in a demented turn. On the day after the funeral, I was in my room, tearing up on my bed. All of the sudden, a huge group of royal guards broke into my home and used brutal force on me. They tied me up and took me to Canterlot, where the castle is. While taking me outside of my home, all of Ponyville were staring at me, looking like they saw something evil. Even my friends were giving sorrowful looks. Arriving there, I was escorted to the castle with lots of pressure added towards me. What I needed were lots of the ponies staring at me. Even one of my good friends, Fancy Pants. He would always voice out for me in these kinds of situations. However, all he ever did was stare at me in disgust. Then, it hit me in the face: all of Equestria but me knew what's going on.

Being brought to the throne room, I had to kneel towards the throne. Sitting on it was Princess Celestia herself. On her left was Princess Luna and Prince Blueblood. On her right was Shining Armor and Princess Cadence. Apparently, Celestia had revealed why I was here. I was being accused for the murder of my own mother. This had shocked me greatly. Why would I destroy my own family? I'm not a monster! Before I could say anything, the guards dragged me away to the dungeon.

Alone in my own prison cell, I had released an outburst of tears. I didn't kill my own mother! Why would I do that?

The next day, I was being put on trial. I was allowed to testify this time. When I tried to, a huge amount of boos came from the jury members and the crowd. I had no chance. It's me against all of Equestria. Later, many so-called witnesses came up to the podium and stated their cases. All of them, were against me. What the hay?! They claimed that they saw somepony that looked like me. I felt so betrayed by everypony. They thought that I killed my mother. After the case, Princess Celestia announced that I would be executed by hanging tomorrow. I felt my heart thumping like a jackhammer. Everypony in all of Equestria would witness it.

Back in my prison cell, I had some visitors arrive. It was my best friends, now former best friends. They looked very furious, probably thinking that I really commit murder.

Rainbow Dash was the first to come up to me. She was pretty rough on me. "Killing your own mother is the biggest all time low you've done, you sick freak!" she screamed at me. Then, she swung her hoof at me very hard. I almost felt my cheek shattering, but luckily I can still open my mouth. She flew out of my cell and out of the dungeon.

Pinkie Pie was next. Her mane and tail were down and straight. She also gave a hoof-slap to my other cheek. Not as painful as the last one, I must say (thank Celestia I could). "You are not only a evil wicked psycho, but you're a monster!" she yelled. Then, she quickly trotted off towards the dungeon exit.

Rarity came Into my cell. She started shouting so many profanities at my ear. I wasn't sure if I lost my hearing. After she was finished with her outbursts, she turned around and whipped her tail at my face. "I hope you rot in the dust for the rest of your life, you savage cretin!" she scoffed.

It was Applejack's turn, as she was about to do something to me. At first, I was surprised because I thought she wasn't going to do anything to me. It had hit me, when she applebucked my face. I slammed into a wall, looking helplessly weak. My nose was bleeding, dripping down towards my mouth. "That's what y'er deserve, ya evil degenerate!" she yelled, leaving my cell to the dungeon.

Getting my vision back, I saw Fluttershy. She was about to enter my cell to try and tell me something offensive to me. However, she kept holding back and was too scared. In a matter of seconds, she started to cry and left the dungeon. Those tears were because of me, obviously. I wanted to do something, but I already have all of Equestria fear me, accidentally.

Finally, Twilight was the last one to come here. She spoke out and said these exact words. "I can't believe you would do something like this. How could you do this to your own mother? I thought you were a good pony! But now that I see your true colors, consider our friendship broken!". My heart had been shattered to pieces. The one pony I had admired, ending our friendship. Before I could say anything, Twilight teleported out of the dungeon, leaving me in the darkness.

The 5th day, the execution. Walking towards the noose, many ponies were yelling at me to fall to my death. I close my eyes and looked at everypony, even my former best friends before the hood was placed on me. It was a good chance to use my teleportation spell. Using all my energy, I casted it out from my horn, a huge light popping in the position I was standing, and landed on the castle walls, leaving the crowd in awe. Using all my strength, my wings broke free from the ropes and I looked at the ponyfolk. "Catch me if you want to execute me! But your accusations have caused great misfortune, as Equestria's sage has been driven away!" I yelled. Before the guards could catch me, I quickly flew off to the Equestrian borders. The last thing I could hear were the jeers and boos of Equestria.

Before I left, I took this journal to write up my new life as a vagabond. Not only will I need to travel around to keep away from Equestria's soldiers, but I need to find the real culprit responsible for my mother's death. And when I do, all of Tartarus will break loose.
