Phoenix

"Work, you miserable ponies!" the eldest prince walked to each pony, giving them a lash, leaving a scar. "You know, I'd rather be rotting than doing this." one whispered to another. Unfortunately for him, the prince heard that, and placing a noose over his head, led hi out, and the only thing thy ever heard from him was a horrific scream and blood pooling through the door. The ponies gasped, but said nothing. They didn't need another scar. Another, desperate to leave, tried bucking down the window, and got out, but the glass cut him, he lost a lot of blood, but got out. The youngest prince was out.

He had never really seen Ponyville, or the outdoors for that matter. He was always working and bleeding. He bumped into a castle, and collapsed at its door. Later, Spike walked out to find him lying there, void of any consciousness. "Twilight! I think you need to come see this! Quick!" "I'm coming, Spike, oh my Celestia! What happened?!" Twilight's friends had come out as well. "Whoa! I bet he's a prince, but you don't really see male alicorns these days!" Pinkie said in one breath. " He looks like our neighboring prince from Noxequus, but I can't be sure."Twilight said. "Come on, he obviously needs help, so let's go!" Rainbow placed him on her back and flew off, leaving the girls to run.

He awoke in the Ponyville hospital, and was being treated by Dr. Stable. " He's stable, and only a little blood was lost, but he should rest. Come by tomorrow to check his progress." "'Much obliged, partner." Applejack said, handing him the required bits. Twilight and the girls ran as fast as they could home.

"Oh, boy. Bad idea. Now he will look for me, and he'll kill me. Great. Just great." the prince lay down quietly, occasionally chatting with the doctor. When he recovered, he returned to his phoenix form, flying as fast as he could to the sun, his shadow cast over Ponyville. His temperature was normal now, so he plummeted down, but the ponies were screaming. "It's a phoenix, and not a tame one!" He transformed back into a pony and went to see Princess Twilight, the princess of friendship. She would know what to do.
