Unwelcome

        Licens and Pinkie were... doing something. Licens was staring Pinkie in the eyes, he was concentrating hard enough to make some ones head explode. I sort of expected that to happen, but with confetti. Pinkie was staring right back, with enough power to break the wall between the 3rd and 5th, not that such a thing exists though.

        I tapped Licens on the back, causing him to blink. He looked over with the amount of hate only a god can have.

        "You. Made. Me. Blink."

        "Ummm... Sorry?"

        "You. Made. Me. Lose... To a MORTAL"

        "In all honesty, I don't think Pinkie counts as a mortal."

        "Yeah I'm not a mortal,  I'm Pinkie Pie." Pinkie then realized that she had yet to gasp in amazement at having a new human in town. "GHUAAAHHHHHH, HiI'mPinkiePieandIthrowpartysforeveryoneinPonyvillewhentheygethereandyoujustgotheresoI'mgoingtothrowyouaparty GHUAHHH Ididn'throwTellusapartywhenhegotheresincewewenttoCanterlottotalktoCelestiaI'msorryTellusthatsneverhappenedbeforewithallthemeaniepantsaroundtryingtoconquerEquestria."

        ...

        ...

        ...

        "Wat"

        "Don't ask, it's Pinkie Pie."

        "Where's Infelix? he was right ahead of us."

        "Oh you have another friend here? Don't worry officer Pinkie Pie is on the case." She then disappeared in a puff of smoke.

        ...

        "Should we feel sorry for Infelix?"

        "Nahhh... Pinkie wont hurt him. She'll just... oh no."

        "What oh no?"

        "She will surpirse him... and you know he is VERY jumpy, he might do something he'll regret."

        "This is why we shouldn't have brought him along."

        "We got to find him before Pinkie does, and your just saying that because Ira crippled you."

        "Yeah this 'Ira' did it and not 'Infelix'. I don't trust him as far as I can... ummm... Well I would say as far as I can throw him, but since I can throw him pretty far... I just don't trust him."

        "Stop bickering, we must find him."

        "Fine..."

        ***

        Infelix had decided to inspect the town and its inhabbitants. He had his hood up so anyone who did notice him would be far less likely to run screaming away from the bipedal monster. He walked through alleys, climbed buildings, and used magic to make him blend into the crowds. He was not going to reveal himself until he understood the socal norms of these four legged creatures. Ira was being quite, Infelix wasn't sure why, but knew it could only be bad.

        He spoted a yellow pegasis with Pink hair talk to one of the venders in a market. Infelix moved closer to try and discover on what was acceptable in bartering, and on how much their money is worth.

        "But... ummm..." Said the Yellow one. "Ten bits for a cherry..."

        "Is how much it costs, now beat it." Infelix was unsure on the norms of these ponys, but insulting your customer with what he can only assume as outrageous prices, and then telling them to 'Beat it" is not a good way to make money. The yellow one seemed... sad. None the less she seemed ready to buy from this pony. Something Infelix just did not understand, upon further investigation, he found the shy pony to be crying. Without a seconds thought he went right up to the stall and slamed his hand on the table.

        "Who the hell are you?" The vender said, voice full of malace. No one else here noticed him since he still had his magic at work.

        "Why are you bullying your customers? This cannot be good buissness practices."

        "What I do with my customers is none of your damn buissness. If I want to charge ten bits, or one bit, then I will."

        "But insulting them? Can you not see how you are affecting her?" Infelix motioned towards the yellow pony who was cowering quitely, she had a small trail of tears in her eyes. The pony behind the stand seemed unaffected.

        "Does it look like I care?"

        "You will once I make sure not a single pony buys from you ever again."

        "And how will you do that?" He said with a snicker.

        "Like this... THIS STALL DISCRIMINATES AGAINST THE POOR WITH ITS OUTLANDISH PRICES, THEN INSULTS ITS CUSTOMERS." Everyone heard where the voice came from, but the owner of the voice was unknown. A few ponys that were making their way towards the stall turned away with looks of disgust. This was working far better then Infelix had planned.

        "Get your monkey ass our of here you dumb ape!"

        "ON TOP OF THAT, HE HATES THOSE DIFFRENT FROM HIM!"

        At this point everyone was avoiding getting even somewhat close to the stall. The yellow pony was cowering from the unknown voice.

        "Fine fine, quite down. You'll ruin my buisness..."

        "You were doing that well enough before I got here, now please, kindly, give this lady a fair deal."

        "Don't see why you care" He grumbled. "It's on the house..."

        Infelix then walked away seeing that the pony had gotten the cherry. He didn't want her to get one for free, just a fair deal, but if they want to he wasn't going to stop them.

        "Thank you..." Came a tiny voice, so quite not even the vendor was able to hear her thanks to the strange Biped.

        'How noble'

        "To hell with you"

        'That is not very polite... and I was just going to tell you of what I found in this nice little thing we call 'our mind''

        "What did you find?" Infelix continued mumbleing to himself as he took off down an alleyway.

        'Remember the nursery rhymes mother used to sing?'

        "N-no... what is the point if I do or don't?"

        'Well, I found out some of the things father did to our former self...'

        "And?"

Ring around the rosie

        "No..." Infelix slumped against the wall as memorys flooded his mind.

The boy was motionless in the circle of blood, his father laughing down at him. Tears welled up in his eyes as the knife struck again.

Pocket full of posies

The smell of the dead assaulted the boys nose. He covered his face in a futile atempt to ward it off. "Ha, you get used to it in time" The boys father said " Carry these around. Can't have you smelling like these poor sods. I found flowers do it well enough"

Ashes Ashes

The fire crackled under the order of the man, the boy watched in horror as the bodys were consumed by the smoke. "Got to get rid of the evidence boy."

We all fall down

"Now that they are taken care of, how about we move onto the next town?" The boy tried to protest but was bound in his fathers spell. "If you try to run, you'll be joing this next group...

        Infelix felt weak in the knees as all the strength left his body. He saw unfamilier images appear in his eyes before he slumped to the ground.

***

        Harbinger finshed with the unfamilier spell, using his fathers totem as a conduit. Dark energy vanished from the item as a smile crossed his face. His brother will not enjoy what was coming to him.

***

         "Helloooo~" Pinkie said after watching the biped that no one seemed to notice go off down an alleyway. "Are you ok?" She question the slumped human.

        The ticking in her head was nearly audible as she realized that it was not alright. His breathing was shallow, with hardly a thought she went to go get help. Many would assume Pinkie to be stupid, but she was smarter then what others gave her credit for. She knew when something was wrong, and this was as wrong as it could be. She didn't know why she felt this way, but she did.

IMPORTANT READ BELOW THIS

        I've decided to cut this story up into peices, as the next few chapters would send it over to the mature rating. It will be centered around Infelix, but will be a seprete story. This part is to an end, but after Infelix's part we will get back to the regular story. It will not be in 'this one' but will instead be a diffrent story all together. I will put out a new chapter for this when the other story comes out, so those of you who have fav'ed this but have not followed me will know it is out.
