Crystal Blood

  If stress was something Cadence was supposed to get used to, she would be an old lady by then. It had been hours since Shining Armor left to find the serial killer that went by the name Jason. It wasn't like him to be this late. Cadence walked down a purple colored hallway, her eyes gazed apon gold banners hanging from the walls with the crystal heart in the middle with wings surrounding it. She signed and continued to walk with new thoughts in her mind.

"I hope nothing happened to Shiny. I hope he's okay." she thought.

  The princess then felt she ran into something large. She backed away, running her nose, she looked up at the figured and her eyes went wide with shock. It was her husband, Shining Armor, but he was badly hurt. His side was leaking blood and so was his nose. Parts of his armor were bent and his had the nastiest looking black eye the princess has ever seen. The captain was practically leaning on his not broken leg. Cadence heart skipped a beat when Shining collapsed on her. The princess held him up the best she could but he was heavier then he looked. Cadence called for guards and they rushed over to assist. The guards hung Shining's arms around them and held him up. The captain coughed and mumbled something Cadence heard only part of.

"Jason...in...main..."

  Shining Armors head slumped over on his chest and his fell unconscious. Cadence gasped and clasped her hands to her mouth. The guards then ran off, sprinting toward the infirmary with the captains hooves dragging on the floor. The words Shining had said to her turned her fear turn rage. Cadence turned and made her way down a long corridor, heading toward the main room of the castle. She burst open the doors to reveal over a dozen guards in a circle formation and towns people surrounding them. The princes narrowed her eyes and made her way toward the circle. Crystal ponies moved out of her way as she went, seeing her look of anger apon her face. She reached the circle and looked at one of the guards. He looked down at her and nodded. The large guard shouted to the others and the princess was let in through a little path. In the middle of the guards circle was a large metal slab with an equally large wolf man on it. His entire was restrained by metal grips that looked as though the circulation to his blood was being cut off. His clothes were ripped and coated in dry blood stains. What made Cadence feel more uneasy though was the menacing looking mask on the wolf mans face.

  Cadence look of anger was changed to one of caution. Jason had a weird energy surrounding him. She could feel it. It felt, angry and wanting to kill every pony around him. Cadence gulped and walked toward the wolf man. His size was enough to rival her husbands. The wolf man looked down at the princess, the energy she felt earlier got even thicker and soon Cadence was regretting her choice of getting this close to him. A strange, whisper then made its way into the princess ear. Sending chills down her spine.

Ch. Ch. Ch. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah.

  Cadence held her ground as she looked over the wolf man. Cadence slowly raised her hand and gripped the Jason's head. Behind his mask, Jason's eyes were wide with anger. This mare was looking him over like some sort of veterinarian with an animal. Cadence used both her heads, and looked through Jason's fur. She noticed some strange scars were all over Jason's head and neck. They looked like sword cuts. Cadence pulled herself back and then looked directly at the frowning mask that was looking at her. That mask was considered evidence for the trail she would put the wolf man through. Figuring the guards didn't know, Cadence reached for the mask.

  Jason's anger was on its breaking point. The mare in front of him was reaching for his mask, she wanted to take it off he figured. Jason used his strength and pushed against the metal restraints that were wrapped around his wrists and ankles. The wolf man could feel his power was getting the best of the restraints, the sounds of the cracking and breaking of the metal was music to the revenants ears. Cadence doubled back as some of restraints were sent flying toward her but missed. She watched as the wolf man broke free from the slab. Guards turned and drew their weapons as Jason jumped off the slab and landed on his feet. The revenant moved his head from side to side, feeling noticeable cracks coming from his neck. One of the guards charged the wolf man with a sword end pointed toward him. Jason dodged the blade and grabbed the guard by the neck. With a flick of his wrist a nasty crack came from the guard ponies neck. He dropped to the ground dead, Jason picking up his sword. More guards charged him at once and Jason swung his sword from side to side. Blood was flying in the air like ocean waves as more guards went down. Jason grabbed a guard by the neck and with a flick of his wrist, snapped the guards neck in two. An vulgar crunch could be heard from the neck of the guard as he fell to the ground. Cadence watched from afar at the horrific scene before her. Her soldiers who tried years with weaponry and combat, were dying left and right because of a wolf man behind a mask. Cadence then narrowed her eyes. If you want something done, you had to do it yourself.
