Reyals POV

It had been a week since Reyals Nik had received the letter from Canterlot City and in his mind, times couldn’t be better. Finally, a chance for him to be normal and not kill someone like a savage beast. He had always thought that because of his records in Manhattan for murder and theft would never allow him to attend any school ever in the history of schooling. But to think that a school in Canada would let him in was a crazy thought to him. Why would they let him in? Don’t they know about his criminal record? Questions that Reyals couldn’t ask or answer, but he was still happy to go and pursue a life of pacifism and normality.

Reyals travelled a few hours by air, another few by bus and finally a short train trip into the city of Canterlot. Canterlot was a blend of urban
buildings and technology while still having plenty of open earthy plains with grass as green as emeralds and rivers that kept going on and on as they eventually connect into lakes. Reyals had always lived in the slums of Manhattan and saw many urban environments but not much outback or forest parts of the country but after seeing those fields of grass, Reyals’ excitement skyrocketed because he always wanted to live in open areas of large fields.

After a few hours of looking around the city, Reyals then decided to find his apartment as he was getting tired. The letter he got from the principal of Canterlot High had an address on it which was the building he would live in for the next four and a half years of school which was located in the urban part of the city. It was a good thing too as Reyals was urban life and couldn’t navigate his way through the more small and open sides of town as he always stated that they was no landmarks or spots that could be found easy or on his first try.

He finally found the building. It was a six-story apartment building with graffiti on the sides and was opposite an animal clinic that had customers coming and going all the time. Reyals then sigh in relief as he had walk for hours on end for this building and couldn’t wait to get to his apartment. He then walked in and on his right was a receptionist sitting at their desk. The Receptionist was a young blonde woman with blue eyes and pale skin wearing formal attire and an earpiece.

“How may I help you, young sir?” Said the receptionist in a positive and cheerful demeanour.

“Yes, this is the apartment building on Main Street correct?” Reyals said trying to act as polite and well-mannered as possible.

The receptionist then smiled and giggled a little bit which made Reyals blush. Reyals never had the best of luck with charming girls or even
asking girls out as most ones he saw were afraid of him because of his reputation or were merely not interested or too old.

“That’s right this is the building in Main Street.” The receptionist said spreading her arms out and tilting her head up to physically show Reyals
that this is the right place.

“I was given an apartment in this building a week ago. It’s under the name Bronze Huckleberry and Celestia.” Reyals said as he gave the receptionist his details.

“Let me just run these details through the database.”

The receptionist then turned to face the computer on her left and typed in the credentials into the building’s database.

“Okay let me see. Yep here it is Bronze Huckleberry and Celestia which was purchased on Thursday the 25th.”

“Yes that’s the one.” Reyals said with relief as he wiped his forehead.

The receptionist then then went to the key rack and took a key from the third floor section.

“Here you are. Your apartment is number 13 on the third floor. There’s an elevator to your left which you can use to get there.”

“Thank you, miss.” Said Reyals in a formal manner.

The receptionist then giggled again at Reyals’ attempt to act formal which made him blush with more red.

“Anytime, young sir.” Said the receptionist.

“My name is Nik, Reyals Nik.” Reyals said back to her.

“Well my name is Spark, Sparklight.” She replied.

“Nice name. I’ll see you around, Sparklight.”

“Bye, Reyals Nik. If you need anything just come talk to me or anyone else on shift.” Said Sparklight

The third floor and had both a vending machine and a ATM in the hallway for residents of the building. He then found his door and unlocked it, turning the door knob and opening it for the first time.
The apartment was quite big and as large as a suite in a hotel but not as formal and impressive, considering this was an apartment for living not a hotel room for staying in. The place was near empty besides basic appliances like TV, oven and stove, fridge and furniture though the reason for that was Bronze had paid for certain details with her new salary and had them set up for when Reyals got there.

Reyals wished that Bronze could have come too but both of them knew he could take care of himself considering his dark past and reputation, but also because Bronze needed to get out of the slums and have a better life than her poor helpless life of being tortured and threatened by gangs and scumbags, she needed to move up in the world and see it at the highest peak to fully understand the concept of life. It was sad to see each other part ways but both knew it wouldn’t be forever and after all she was a graduate of Canterlot High so she probably wouldn’t mind visiting the city and coming to see him once and a while.

But right now Reyals had to focus on one thing and one thing only, that was going to Canterlot High and becoming a normal teenager with normal teenage problems. Before Reyals did anything else in his apartment before unpacking, he took out a something from his pocket. It was a medallion attached to a black string in which was the yin-yang circle with had the words ‘don’t give up’ engraved on the back by Bronze. He then put the medallion around his neck and after stood up and said the following words.

“I pull this medallion around my neck as a sign of my oath. From this moment on I, Reyals Nik swear to not take the life of any living thing for as long as I live. I swear not to act or solve my problems with violence and with my mind and be kind and compassionate to those I meet and protect and stand up for those who are threatened and scared. From this day forth, I am the False Killer no more.”

As Reyals finished the vow and went to unpack his things, a girl with red hair and red eyes in the alleyway opposite the apartment building, staring at Reyals’ window.

“I have finally found you, my beloved.”
