Uninhertience

New posters kept popping up all around town. To say the least, it was confusing the rebels. The posters were of a mare. She had a purple gray coat, purple eyes, her mane was done in an up-do, with bangs on her forehead, her mane and tail were purple with light blue stripes. She had no cutie mark on her flank.

Nathan on his way to the marketplace, came upon on of these posters. "Hmm, it's strange that a woman would be on these posters. Women are not at all respected, no that anyone is really respected...except for maybe the Dictator. He's more feared than anything though. Unless you're a guard that is," Nathan muttered to himself. He continued on his way, and when the marketplace came into sight, he heard a strange commotion. Nathan faltered in his steps, and contemplated moving forward or not. "The old Nathan would have ran home, and boarded up the doors. But not this time, those people might need help from whatever the government might be deciding to do today," he thought. He ran forward to the marketplace.

"You can't do that! This is my business, not the government's or anyone else for that matter. YOU WILL NOT TAKE AWAY MY LIVELIHOOD," screamed a old stallion. The old stallion ran in front of his shop door, and tried to block the guard from getting in. Seeing this, the guard pushed the old stallion down to the ground rather roughly, stepped on him to gain access to the shop, and walked straight into the shop without a word.

Nathan ran up to the stallion, helped him to his feet, and asked "Are you okay, sir? Do you know what's going on?"

The old stallion, looked at Nathan, "My boy, it is the new mare in town. She claims to be

"I claim to be the mother of Lachlan Odom. My name is Starlight Glimmer," said a regal voice from behind Nathan. Nathan turned around and was greeted with the sight of the mare from the posters. "You will bow before me, when you are addressed or when I enter your reign of sight. Do you understand me", said the mare. Nathan could only nod. "I know your name is Nathan and that your family we have taken, and rightly so. You were obedient until just a month or so past. That is why I am here. My son has watched you interact with Fredrick Melton, we will END YOU IF WE FEEL IT IS RIGHT. You are going to get back in line, this is not a choice. Until you do so, everyone will suffer, no one is exempt. Even your family", she spit the words at him, between clenched teeth.

The only thing Nathan could remember after the fact, was that there was a sharp pain in his head. "I have to find the rebels and warn them. We have to get into the guards barracks as soon as possible," he thought.

Somewhere in a lavish room, Lachlan Odom and Starlight Glimmer laughed at the thought that a young foal could possibly infiltrate the guards barracks.
