A Bandit in Equestria: The Culling of the Herd

Some things are best left unseen. Somehow the eye still works, gulping down those images, and processing the mental trauma there after.

Roderick's eyes were still not working when he woke, but he felt something furry and very warm atop him. After taking an intake of breath through his nose he confirmed. It was Quina he smelled. He let out an irritated sigh.

"How long has it been since I took her as my own, 30 years, 50, 100? I don't know how but she is the only thing keeping me sane."

He heard something, wingbeats. Feathered wingbeats. Large feathered wingbeats.

Quina! We got something incoming, it smells, wrong. It coming from the SKY! So, please, get off me so I can loose and arrow in it's HIDE!

Quina got up, and started listening to the wind and the wingbeats. She looked around and all was dark forest. The treetops making it hard for any light or creature to get through.

"Roderick, the trees are too dense for...Eep!" she yelped as the top of the forest parted for this creature. It looked like a wizard got bored with a unicorn and pegasus and melded them together. Also who puts a night sky in the main of a steed?

Unfortunatly, as she was beginning to descend onto the forest floor Roddy has loosed an arrow in her wing. How did she know it was female? Male don't normally have those kind of lungs on them. Normally, she remembered when she took a walk in the forest and roderick slowly slaughtered a hamlet to make her come back.

Note to self, don't leave the poor guy's side except for an emergency

I hope not, I still have the hide of you last date as my cloak.

Uh, How much of that did you see?

Enough that when I did come to the clearing,I was mad as the Hells and decided to make him into a garment.

"THOU FOALS, WE WERE TRYING TO AID THEE!"she shouted in the Royal Canterlot voice.

Quina is very sensitive to sounds and when she heard that it felt like a concussive blast, heck it might have been.

All roderick needed to see was the being that he looked about as a child, tossed aside by some magic using herbivore.

Wait I can see? Quina's hurt, don't worry about extra senses until you remove all of them from this creature.

In an instant, summoned a claw of Malar and strode to the grounded horse.

"Wait, surely we can talk things out." she pleaded

"You hurt Quina, you ARE dead!"

The creature flung some form of spell from her horn.  It hit is leg and in an instant he was kneeling.

"Not so mighty kneeling are we?"

She looked at the injured elf. the wing would heal, but no one bests... wait, are those flames around it's being.

Roderick was already mad as the hells, so he didn't noticed as flames started to change his elven form. They gave him black leather wings. Horns were laid upon his brow. His right hand turned to talons. And finally when he opened his eyes, they glowed a deep amber.

"You lay your eyes upon my form, I spare none that dare harm Quina Bloodborne."

He gestured to hound who's ears were still wringing.

"I can make an exeption, give me lumber and some land here in this forest. Your regalia is not just for show, neither are my wings.

"I losed and arrow in your hide while I had no sight, I smelled and heard large wingbeats. You would react similar no?"

Quina started to stir then.

"I will be at the northern most clearing this forest. May Malar have mercy on the rule you just broke."

He walked over to Quina, picked her up in his arms. With a few mighty wingbeats, he was gone into the forest.

Quina awoke to the smell of roderick, but added with brimstone.

"Quina, things are different, but they are still the same. I will always protect you, til my dieing breath. With every once of the demonic blood in my veins, I will make sure beings like this pay. That is a promise."

She looked at him for the first time as a Fey'ri, a elf with demon's blood. He had two sharply curved horns on his brow. He eyes glowed a deep amber. She saw that he had been weeping, but his eyes, they don't have a cataract anymore.
