Purity and Corrupt

As Court got prepared, the nine jurors quietly sauntered into the room to sit down. These jurors were proud, rich nobles whose power and authority radiated off of them with their upturned heads and chests puffed out in pride. Coming after them was the Judge. He was a green seven foot tall minotaur named Sir Grainwill. As he sat down, he stated, "Bring in The Accused."

As the guards brought in The Accused, the Judge and nine jurors sit down. The Accused was a light gray crystal unicorn with a dark gray mane and a black obsidian cutie mark. Coming in afterwards were Princess Celestia, her eyes filled with fury, and Princess Luna behind her with tears running down her face. She had been crying a lot these last few hours.

Then the accuser appeared, a six foot tall, twenty foot long, four armed, one hundred legged, red Centipede named Sir Redsting Blacklist. He was the Royal Adviser to the princesses. Originally, he worked for their father, but after King Helios Quarts died at hands of the now Imprisoned Tirek, Redsting started working for princesses.

Judge Sir Grainwill looked around his Courtroom. It was a grand marble covered room that had seen many cases both good and bad. He had hoped that today would be a good court day, but as he looked, all he could see was corrupt creatures who wanted to burn the Accused right on the spot. They did not care whether the Accused was guilty or not, all because the Accused was a hybrid between crystal pony and unicorn. The Purity believer had spread the idea that species immingling was forbidden, and a hybrid was considered to be evil.

As the judge looked around, the only ones without racist hatred on their faces were the Princesses and their personal guards. But their faces were not happy either. Princess Celestia face was still radiating anger at the Accused, and Princess Luna was still crying, understandably. Luna was so very close the Accused. He was the first student she had ever taken in, and it would probably be her last for a long time. Then the judge looked at the Accused, the light gray pony name was Sir Rex Umbra, and on the face of Sir Rex Umbra was nothing but shame.

Everypony had remembered the day when Sir Rex Umbra had arrived in Canterlot. It was before Rex had been Knighted. Rex had arrived to tell the Princesses of the death of his mentor, Starswirl the Bearded.

After the funeral, Rex ask if one of the Princesses help him finish his training in the Arcane Arts and Swordsmanship. Princess Celestia denied the offer, due to being in too much pain from the loss of Starswirl, whom she loved and adored. Princess Luna, however, took up the offer.

The training under Princess Luna was extremely hard for Rex. She would push his training every time she got a chance, and Rex enjoyed every minute of it. Three years he trained under Princess Luna, and he had gotten very good at the Arcane Arts and Swordsmanship. The two would often have sparring match in the Courtyard that everypony in Canterlot enjoyed to watch. Well, everypony except for Princess Celestia, who was always worried about the sparring match between Rex and Luna, mostly because they would almost always use real blade. But all their matches would always last for hours before either of them could get close a win, and in the end, there would never be a drop of blood drawn. They were both consider to be the best warriors in the entire kingdom.

It was in the war with Tirek that the relationship between Luna and Rex became more than mentor and student. They had become very close, especially after he saved her by taking a blade in gut that was meant for her. After the war, Rex was Knighted for his valor. That day Luna and Rex both realized that they had slowly fallen love. But due to the Purity movement, they decided to keep this between them, and would meet in secret for dinner and dancing, in a hidden place in the Garden Maze. The only ones knew of the hidden place aside from Luna and Rex were Luna’s two personal guards. Rex and Luna were together for two years before this had happened.

As Court began, Judge Sir Grainwill asked,

"What crime is Sir Rex Umbra accuses of committing,"

Sir Redsting stood up. "Sir Rex Umbra has committed the crime of Adultery." He stated.

"I was unaware that mating outside marriage was a crime,"

"It is, when one of them has no consent, and especially when the victim was none other than Princess Luna."

Rex quickly rose up. "Your Honor, you have to believe me I would never do such an evil act," He denied.

"Then where were you on the night of question?" Sir Redsting questioned.

"I don’t remember!" Rex yelled.

"You don’t remember, or maybe you don’t want remember!" Redsting argued.

"I said I don’t remember!"

"Or you don’t care remember!"

"I said I don’t remember!"

"Order! Order! Order in the Courtroom!" Sir Grainwill yelled, slamming his gavel.

"Fine then, so you are giving same excuse that Princess Luna gave to her sister, that both of you just woke up in bed together with no memory of the night before… who do you think the Court is going to believe? One of the rulers of our kingdom, or a pathetic Hybyss!"

"Order! Order!” Sir Grainwill yelled once again. “That is enough Sir Redsting, I will not let you speak such Racist Slang in my courtroom, now call your first witness.”

Hours passed as each corrupt witness played their part flawlessly, the case was slowly pushing Rex and Luna further and further apart, Rex denying everything that the witnesses accused him of doing. Ten hours past and then Sir Redsting call on his final witness…

"I call upon Princess Celestia."

Princess Celestia stood up and gave her statement.

"I saw... Luna running out of Rex’s room crying..."

It only took only ten minutes for the jurors to find Rex guilty. It saw then that Judge Sir Grainwill agitatedly stated, "The Court has found you Sir Rex Umbra guilty. In one year you will be executed in the Courtyard. If you have anypony to contact, you have to the end to do so… case… closed."

It was clear to everypony that the Judge was angered that Sir RedSting Blacklist go so far as to fill the Judge's Courtroom with such Corruption, just to win a case. Little did anypony know that Sir RedSting had done more than corrupt the Courtroom. As they slowly took Rex away, Rex yelled out, "Luna you have to believe I would never do such a thing, Luna! If you don’t believe then look on top of my dresser, the proof is in that box, please you have believe me, Luna!!!!"

The guards took him away, and placed him in the Dungeon, Meanwhile in a place outside Equestria, a mysterious dark blue Goat made his way to Canterlot.
