Previous Chapter

"Another one!" I called out to the bartender. The bartender turned around at me and raised a brow. He walked over to the rack full of different types of liquor and drinks that made to help one forget. I was one of those trying to forget.

The bartender grabbed a bottle of whiskey and walked over to me. He grabbed another glass cup underneath the counter I was sitting at. I looked up at him. I already had a glass, why was he getting another? He stood back up and placed his glass next to mine and filled them up. I quickly took mine with my hoof and, not even using my magic, I gulped it down. I looked at the bartender frowning. I was pretty drunk, but I could still make out what he looked like. He was a brown stallion with a dirty blond mane and golden eyes. He took a small drink from his whiskey.

"Let me guess..... you broke up with a mare?" I shook my head. "Lost a job?" I shook my head again." You loss something?" I paused for a moment and then nodded. He nodded in return. "Usually when somepony drinks as much you do they try to forget..... or kill themselves" he said worriedly. I looked away.

"Well I have plans do finish before I end up dying." I grabbed the bottle and filled my glass up again.

"What did you lose?" he asked. I frowned. I knew what he was trying to do. He was trying to get me to talk and open up to him. Maybe that isn't a bad idea. I sighed, realizing I should get it off my chest.

"I loss my brother" I sulked. I looked up and saw the bartender looking down at his drink. I could still read a pony's emotions even when I'm 40 glasses in. I could tell he was uncomfortable that he walked into something a bit too sensitive. I was surprised to see him look up at me smiling slightly.

"Well I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sure he was a good brother." I nodded and took another drink.

"He was my only family in this world. I loved him more than anything." I cried. I could tell the drink was making my emotions a bit more dramatic. I didn't care, I was just going to let it all out. "I haven't seen my brother in so many years, and when I finally brought him back.... he was taken from me!" I planted my face on the counter and started to cry.

" I was so happy when I saw him for the first time in so long. I was excited on how we could catch up and do fun things together like normal brothers. But as soon as I got him back he was taken from me!" I started to get more and more angry as I spoke. "It was unfair! He didn't deserve anything that happened to him. He was my baby brother and I was supposed to protect him! What's worse was that my old lover was the one who took him from me. Apparently killing my child wasn't enough for her! She had too take another piece of me away! The worse part is that I cant touch her is because she is a Fucking royal bitch who is protected and I can't do anything about It" I hollered. The bar became deadly silent.

I looked up and saw the bartender starring at me with wide eyes. I slowly looked around and saw everypony in the bar starring at me. I also noticed that the bar seemed a bit brighter. I looked in the direction of the light and saw it behind me. Surprised, I looked down and saw me back in my dragon form with my scales burning and my hair on fire. I also noticed my heart was booming in my chest. I closed my eyes and tried to control my anger. I needed to save it for my revenge. My scales quickly cooled down and my hair stopped burning.

I turned back around and planted my forehead on the counter again. I couldn't hold it back anymore as I began to cry. I sat there crying for a whole minute until I felt a hoof on my shoulder. I slowly looked up and saw the bartender smiling.

"I can tell you are in pain for being different. No one in this bar judges you. That was weird what you just did there, but I'm willing to let it slide since I am not a dragon expert." he joked. I smiled slightly. I activated my horns and transformed back into my pony body. I stood up from the chair and summoned my magic and brought forth and huge bag of bits and gems. I dumped it on the counter and turned around to leave with the bartender looking like he was about to faint.

"Thanks for listening. I really needed to let some steam out." I began to walk out of the door until I heard the bartender calling out for me.

"Wait!" I turned around. "What do plan on doing Now?" I turned back around and walked out the door into the night.

"I plan on having my revenge"


Author's Note

Really short chapter on Cretan and his brother loss.
I realized that I should add some more depth with what happens with my other characters and their reactions to certain events. That might be my next few chapters before the next major villain shows up.
till next time!
