After everything has been taken away from us, all we have left is our humanity. Without our humanity, we are nothing more than animals.

In the End

Drip... Drip... Drip...

The sound of water droplets hitting the floor filled my head. I was currently in the dungeons beneath Canterlot Castle. The sound of a key scraping on a lock filled the air. Two guards entered my cell, followed by Princess Luna. Usually, Luna was ready to hang out and just talk for awhile, but today she was wearing a stern face.

"Unchain this being and help him down," said Luna. One of the guards walked over to me. A laugh filled the air, and it took a few moments to realize that it was coming from me. Perturbed, Luna took an involuntary step back, and the guards froze in place.

"It's been too long, Princess," Luna flinched, then became stern once again.

"We asked- no, we ORDERED you to call us by our name."Luna said. Taking the keys from her still frozen guard, she marched up to me and unlocked my shackles. I crumpled to the ground, my legs too weak to support my weight.

"You want familiarity? Well, Princess, maybe you should of thought of that before LEAVING ME ALONE IN THIS FUCKING CELL FOR FOUR MONTHS!" This time, however, Luna would not be swayed by anything I had to say.

"Guards, pick up this poor creature and bring him to the throne room." Luna said. She then looked at me with pity in her eyes.

"And be careful." After that, she was just gone. No pop, or flash, just gone. I have to admit, shadow teleportation is the coolest magic i have seen in the 3 years I have been in Equestria. With a little help from the guards, I was able to stand. Then, with a bit of practice, I could finally walk again. Leading me out the door, guard number one lead the way to the throne room. Every time i stumbled or veered of path, guard number two would give me a punch on the back. Needless to say, once I had finally arrived at the throne room, I was sporting a number of bruises on my lower back. I stood in front of the door to the throne room for what felt like hours before a golden aura surrounded the handles and the doors were opened violently. Inside were all 4 princes and the rest of the Elements of Harmony. At least the Elements had the decency to look ashamed. Celestia stepped towards me, her face as blank as stone slab.

"How nice of you to join us today, ____________." she said. I chuckled  just loud enough for her to hear before looking up at her with my bloodshot eyes.

"It's not like I had much of a choice." I muttered to myself. Unfortunately, Bitchlestia heard me. My head was whipped up suddenly by a flash of gold, and I found myself staring into the princess' eyes.

"I am trying to help you live a good life, without being attacked by uninformed ponies." Now the Elements of Harmony were really looking down. Except for Rainbow Dash, that technicolor, smug-faced little bitch. "I am sorry for putting you in the dungeons, but it was for your own good."

"Why are you even apologizing to this thing!" Rainbow dash rudely shouted. "It's not like it's even going to remember your apol- mmph!" A purple aura quickly locked Rainbow's mouth shut, but the damage was already done.

"What does she mean I won't remember?" I asked. As the silence stretched longer, my agitation grew.

"WHAT DOES SHE MEAN I WON'T REMEMBER!" I shouted, and everybody there flinched away from me.

"W-w-well," Twilight began before being stopped by Luna.

"Allow me," said Luna. "We have discovered a spell that will allow you to walk free among the population without causing a panic among the ponies."

"But..."

"...But the way the spell works is by turning you into a newborn filly and erasing all of your memories." Luna finished. I suddenly couldn't catch my breath. No memories? And a little filly? I don't want to be a filly! I am a human, and I want to stay a human!

"What happens if I say no?" I say. That's when Celestia turns away from me. I look back over to Luna to see her giving me a sad smile as her horn begins to glow.

"I don't think you understand," said Luna as she took a step towards me. I could feel the power. There was so much it was nearly tangible. Luna takes two more steps. She leans in close, her horn buzzing with power, and whispered in my ear,

"We aren't asking for permission..."

Then everything went dark.
