Tales of Blue

Time: 23 years after the Nightmare Moon Battle.

Location: Whitetail Forest.

Today was one of these days again. Well actually it is Night Time right now and the Moon hung in the Sky in all of its glory.

But I can't spare a glance towards it because I was fleeing yet again. The Ponies that chased me are close behind me, but I am faster. I can hear shouts of anger and death wishes, all of them directed to me.

But i don't care about such words anymore. In the flow of time you get used to it. I still run through the thicket of the forest. I believe the name was Whitetail Forest.

But i don't care about that right now because a Crossbow bolt ripped right into a tree mere inches away from my face.

"Damn I didn't get her, another bolt." Came an almost gravel like Voice from behind me.

“Bucking Unicorns and their Magic, they can easily aim while they run because they can levitate their tools.” was all i can think about.

I ran straight into a clearing with a silent little pool in the middle. The Moon reflected on it like a Mirror.

I looked at it for just a few seconds and lost my concentration... and tripped over a stone.

I fell on my face while i felt a painful crack in my right foreleg. I cried out while i stood up again. It was a torture but I wanted to live so i decided to keep walking even when it hurts.

"Hah, that abomination tripped. Get her she can't run that fast anymore." It was the same Voice again.

I gritted my teeth while I try to ignore the pain. But not for long, because an Bolt shot right into my left foreleg which caused me to fall again.

I can feel a warm liquid running down the leg. I tried to get up again but to no use, I remained on the ground.

I know that i can't run away anymore so I decided to crawl towards the little pool of water.

The Ponies hunting me are still far away but I can hear their every word as if I would stand right next to them.

"She cant get up, GET HER. NOW OR NEVER." Damn that annoying gravelly voice.

I made it to the lake. I smiled because I can have one last look off myself.

My fur was an soft nut brown, I had deep blue eyes almost as blue as the Ocean, my Mane and Tail are colored in a deep crimson and black, I had black drawings under both of my eyes. And the last thing about me was my smile with two sharp, dagger like teeth in my jaw. They are not very long but still noticeable by anypony who looks closely.

By the description I gave you now you may noticed that I am a Thestral. A race of Bat like Ponies created by Princess Luna and turned into a deadly weapon by Nightmare Moon. Your next question might be: Where are your Bat-Wings? or  Why don't you have Catlike eyes?.

To answer all of your Questions I have an simple yet logical answer to all of you. Do we really have to look the same?

There aren't just the Pegasus Thestrals (Which is your Standard Night Guard ), there are also Unicorn Thestrals and Earth Pony Thestrals ( Like me).

Each of the Thestral Races has its own abilities. But that is not important right now because the Ponies chasing me are slowly surrounding me from all sites.

“Gave up, Eh? Well fine for me, Finish that Demon and let's get home.” There were shouts of agreement and much more cheers.

A single tear fell  down my cheek and landed on the surface of the water disturbing the image of the Moon.

I silently whispered in my silent calming Voice which was like a feather, tingling the ears of the listener. But nopony heard me because of their cheering.  "Oh, Mother Night, pleas help your hurt Child and save me from the cruelty of those heartless Monsters."

The Image of the Moon glowed softly, before a pair of hooves entered my vision. I looked up at the owner of these Hooves. "Prepare to die Harlot."

The owner of the Gravelly voice again? Is he the Only one that talks here?

Doesn't matter anymore, because he raises his sword. I closed my eyes and looked to the ground accepting my defeat.... No my death.

I waited for the impact, but it never came.I opened my eyes to look at the Sword wielding Unicorn. But Instead I was surrounded by darkness.

"I-Is this... Death?" Was all I asked before an all too familiar voice answered.

"Nah i don't think so. I just teleported you out of the way."

I groaned. "Please don`t be who I think you are."

"What aren't you Happy to hear old Blades voice again." I can almost feel the big cheeky grin on the Unicorn Thestrals face.

"I am grateful for your help but don't think I forgave you for what you did 25 years ago, Lieutenant Nightmare Blade."

I blinked and then looked around to see that I was in a Cave. What I also can see is the grinning Unicorn in front of me.

He had a spiked two colored Mane The main color a deep blue and the second one a sickly light green color, his fur color had a soft light purple touch, he had Eyepatch over a blue eye while the other eye was visible and in a crimson color, he wore a single grey colored horseshoe, he had a Cutie Mark that resembles a Blood Patch with a black crescent moon in it like me he has two sharp teeth in his jaw.

He just smiled and laughed silently. "I am grateful for your words, Admiral Blue Lily."

I hissed at him. "You know as good as I do that this is the past."

"Oh, but that is why they drive you out of every Town you go. Ponies remember, you know." His grin only grew in size.

"Shut your mouth."

"But when I do that who is going to tell you why you are here."

I snorted. "Alright, Talk."

"Our dear Mother decided to listen to your plea."

"What are you talking about." I was confused and interested at the same time.

"It means you shall go to sleep."

As if on command I fell to my side while my Vision was filled with darkness. "Bastard when i get my hooves on you you're a dead stallion."

I heard his chuckle while I slowly drifted away. "I can't wait until we meet again."

Just wait you Bastard, just wait.

"Come my Child. Come and play with me."
