A conduit in equestria

*sigh* “I was beginning to wander when one of you would ask that question.” I said slumping in my hospital bed.

“Oh and why is that.” the unicorn next to princess cadence ask changing his stance.

“Same question the people I grew up around ask when my powers first showed. The same any person I tried to befriend ask when they found out. Hell the dup ask it several times a day while they had me locked up. Now all of you ask it.” I said hanging my head. “ I always help people wherever I could before I had these powers. There was a phrase I liked back where I'm from.”

“And that is?” Princess Luna ask.

“All beings can withstand adversity,but to truly test their character give them power. The man who said that was a leader from my country's past. He had power, and as the saying goes power corrupts, he didn't let it in his brief reign as president.” I said.

“What do you mean? Was he a bad leader?” She asked tilting her head in confusion.

“No he was assassinated shortly after my country's civil war ended.” I said.

“ what was the war about?” Cadence ask.

“Another  story for another time, I'm sorry to say, but we got off track back to the original question. I was asked if I'm good or evil? My answer is both.” I said gaining a shocked look from all in the room.

“What doth thou mean?” Luna ask.

“Simple I'm both good and evil as are all living things. Those terms change with the person, or pony as you say. To some I can be good. Take the children and wolves for instance, I'm the good guy to the kids but the bad guy to the wolves. Yes I know that they are kids but from nature's standpoint I America denying natural course. Don't get me wrong I'd still save them no matter what but in the instance I'm both the hero and villain. So I say both to the outsider's view but to me I'll always be the hero. Now to you that remains to be known.” I said with a shrug.

“ you have an interesting way of putting this so I'll ask you this last question.” Celestia said in a stern tone.

“ and that would be?” I ask my gaze never shifting from hers.

“Would you die for the innocent?” Was all she said.

“....no, but I'd kill for them.” Was my answer.

At my answer she smiled and turned to the door her sister was the first out the rest stayed ,but before she left she said. “ I hope that in the future we will be able to speed on more happier terms. But if you should want to come and talk to me I'll use this medallion to get in to the castle. I'd be happy to talk.” She finished she tossed a necklace with one half being the sun and the other a crescent moon.

After she had left the others made small talk with me about different topics from hobbies to clothing choice, the latter being raritys favorite. It was all calm until rainbow dash asked. “So why did you answer the princess the way you did?”

“Well as I said those who want to hurt or kill those who ain't done anything wrong best not, cause I will do what is necessary no matter what it is.” I replied

“ does that mean murder?” Fluttershy timidly asked.

“If it came down to it? Ya I'd kill.” I said .

“But why? What does it solve?” Twilight ask.

“Sometimes there are people who can't or won't listen to reason and if the threaten innocent lives then I see it kill them save the innocent. It's not the first thing I'd do mind, I'll seek diplomacy if I can.” I explained.

“Oh so in a way you think of yourself as a guard sort of.” Shining armor said.

“ of sorts. More like a soldier I'm willing to do what's necessary so other don't.” I replied.

After that we talked for a few more minutes til the doctor came back and checked to see how I was doing. To his shock I was healed as if I never got struck. To this he ask my reply was that all conduits can heal from most wounds so long as they are not life threatening. With that in mind he decided that I didn't need to stay so after a few minutes of being unplugged and filling out paperwork. I was Finally released.

Stepping out I could see that ponyville, my new home.
