Author's Note
Kind of story in my head when seeing the season 5 finale
If you enjoyed it... I'm glad you liked it
If not... Well you can't impress everybody 
Sorry for it being short. But you know what they say, big things come in small packaging. 
I Can't Help It...
Every pony has a purpose in life; Something that takes all of their time on this planet to do. But do 'we' have a purpose? You're probably thinking, 'we'? Well, I'm a crystal pony; a unique type which when happy, our coats have resemblance to crystals. That's when our lives were happy. Now that will be never possible if this never ending war keeps up. I don't want to fight, but I'm forced to by this creature of shadows. Was our lives meant for slavery and wars? Or was it to be bakers, Librarians, or even cleaners? I guess the second option could be possible for some ponies but not for us, who are constantly kept in chains and forced to fight. Sometimes, their purposes are an obsession to them but for us, it is only a clouded dream.
If there was one thing which would have a big impact on my life, where hope for freedom comes in, would be my dreams. I mainly have nightmares, where I'm trapped in a cave and tortured by the same stallion who trapped us here. But sometimes, just sometimes, there are good dreams. Ones which I'm free in a land where there is no King Sombra. A dream which I can live my whole life in just a few minutes. This is where my happy side comes out to play, where hope still lingers. Those are the good dreams. But like always due to the circumstances that we Crystal ponies are in, it only comes and goes once in a while.
I don't want to fight, I want to live a life like I used to. But I can't. He thinks we're his weapons, but we're not. We're all living ponies like every pony else in this kingdom, 'So why torture us? Why make this land a living nightmare? You wouldn't care anyway, all you want to do is to make ponies suffer and by slaving us first, your one step closer. Your dream is probably happening now isn't it? Seeing dead bodies scattered everywhere, Celestia herself can hardly protect the land so congrats to you' is what I would say, but he wouldn't listen. If he did though, he would probably do that stupid smile of his and laugh in our faces while we are unable to move our bodies ourselves due to the mechanized Armour which he locked on us like we're mice in his unforgiving mice trap.
You can probably tell I'm not like the other Crystal ponies; the ones scared out of their wits, that shiver whenever 'he' is around. I'm one of the stronger ponies in our Empire, I don't care whether he tortures me, calls me his 'slave' or even kills me. I just want this land to be free once again, like it used to be. It was beautiful, Every pony smiling around me, fillies and colts running around playing tag and there I was; making a cake for a elderly customers birthday. It was calm, peaceful, quiet. But then 'he' appeared. As black as night itself, he came out of nowhere. Forcing us to be his slaves for the first time. But thank the heavens the two princesses came that time to stop him. And with his disappearance out of Equestria, so did ours.
Most of us didn't even know that we were gone for a thousand years, not until an pink Alicorn known as Cadence and her husband, Shining Armour told us all. They told us we were safe, that nothing bad wouldn't happen now. How wrong they were to think that. We trusted them; after all the years of pain and cruelty we had endured, we still put our faith in them but yet again they failed to protect us. It was like an hour since they said that and we were enslaved once again. That's when I realized that no matter how hard I try, I will always to be forced to follow his orders.
We had no training, no experience; all he did was put mechanical helmets and Armour on all of us and we were under his control. I tried to rebel against what he wanted us to do however it seemed useless. We went straight into battle and he didn't even care whether we were killed or not; all he cared about was winning the war. I must have killed at least five of the princesses solders now and I'm so disgusted in my self; my weak, pathetic self who can't even control my own body. Yeah I know, it wasn't my fault but I didn't even give a fight, I just accepted my fate and allowed it to happen. But when I think of my destiny in this world, I think what would I do for the rest of my life? Would I be a slave? Will we ever be free? I don't know but one things for certain. Sooner or later, I will loose hope fully.
My life is limited. So why am I doing a lifeless ponies job? Why can't the princesses defeat him now? After all, they defeated him before. Do you know what my good dreams were? They were about having a loving husband and two beautiful children while living a whole happy life until I die. But where am I now? Battling a war which I shouldn't even be in.
Do I deserve this?
Does any pony deserve this?
I don't know what to say really. What I do know is that it's not right for ponies lives to get taken even though they didn't do anything wrong. They could have had a fantastic job if it weren't for this war. They could have had amazing friends to hang around with each day, family members who love and cherish every bit of their soul. But that's the sad part really. Because there never going to get that life, never going to experience the true meaning on why they were born. But can I do anything? I'm just a crystal pony trapped in a armored suit, unable to defend the good ponies from myself. It's heart breaking really; seeing blood splattered all over my hooves and I can't even move them to wipe the debris off; I'm just forced to fight.
And fight
And fight
Until the war is over. But the question is...
Will freedom be brought back to the land again?
