A Burning Tale

The next day started off with a small problem and ended with a tragedy. I woke up and ate something before noticing a envelope laying on my table. I was very confused how it got there since nopony could acces my home besides me yet. It had the wax emblem of Canterlot on it so I was very worried already. I opened it and read through it.

Dear Mr. Flame,
On behalf of a recent complaint about your actions in Ponyville the Princesses have no choice but to send you into unpaid holidays for a while. Your Armor and Weaponry can be picked up at this Sunday noon.

Sincerly, Shining Armor.

I was shocked. A complaint about me?! I was mad and threw the letter straight into the paper bin. But I already had a slight clue who could've reported that... That two snooty fillies. I swung my Saddlebags onto my back and hid my Sword, which I always have close, under it. I left my house and locked the door before flying to the ground and walking around. I searched for the two and I didn't had to search for long. I quickly approached them as they teared apart a market booth.

"Hey! You two! Stop your actions right this instant!"

They both rapidly turned around. They giggled for a moment but continued to bully the merchant. I pulled them back quickly and asked the merchant to call the Police. Luckily two Officers arrived quickly and I explained them the situation. The two fillies were hoofcuffed pretty fast and I followed the Officers to both of their homes. As one of the Officers knocked on the first door I posed myself like in my duties, to act much more respectable.
A grey furred Mare opened the door after a short while.

"Yes, How can I help you?"

She noticed the two Officers and the Guard Patch on my Saddlebags and suddenly went from friendly to angry. Not towards us but towards her Daughter.

"Silver Spoon! What have you done this time!?"

I could tell she was dissapointed in her Daugther and herself. I stepped forward and introduced myself before explaining.

"Your Daughter and her friend took apart a marketbooth and bullied the merchant. You should really watch out who your Daughter walks around with Ma'am."

She gave a short evil glare at her before looking back to me with a forced smile.

"Trust me... I won't let her get away with this. Thank you for your service."

I chuckled and told her there wouldn't be a need for formal answers since I'm out of duty. She pushed her Daughter inside and swung shut the door. I looked at the second filly a bit annoyed.

"Officers you're dissmissed. I can handle her myself. Just tell me where her family lives."

They both just shrugged it off and gave me a key for the hoofcuffs and showed me the way. I knocked hardly on the front door and waited for a family member, preferably a parent, to open up. As the door opened I gave out a annoyed sigh.

"Good Day Ma'am. I found your Daughter tearing apart a marketbooth and bullying the merchant with her friend. Please take care of your Daughter and her actions."

The pinkish Mare inspected me curiously before responding a bit harsh and snooty.

"Aren't you the foolish Pegasus which bullied my Daughter and her friend before?"

I shook my head confused. I bullied two fillies? No way!

"I'll see past that obvious insult for once and ignore the fact that you just insulted an off duty Guard."

She broke into laughter. After she calmed down her voice got very deep and threatening.

"I will let you rot in prison... nopony bullies my Daughter without consequences"

I stared at her more confused then before. She pulled her Daughter inside and shut the door right into my face. I stood there for a minute before questioning this town. I eventually flew home and laid down on my sofa to let my thoughts play. After a while I fell asleep. But A Nightmare hunted me this night and I couldn't sleep as I used to do. A while into the dream, when everything went insanely weird, Luna appeared in front of me. I immediately bowed down to pay her my respect like I do everytime I see her.

"I see a Children of the Night is having Nightmares... how sad it is to see that it's the same Pony I have under my command..."

I stood up again and sighed.

"Yes your Highness... I had quiet a interesting morning... Somepony sent in a complaint towards Shining about me and I know I met the family which has made the complaint. They're the most snooty ponies I know."

Luna's sad look turned into slight anger as she spread her wings wide open.

"I already took care of that. Your lawyer is arriving shortly."

Her voice echoed through the threatening world of my nightmare, giving me new hope. I forced a gentle smile onto my face.

"Thank you your Highness... It was just a missunderstanding and you won't have to recieve any complaint about me anymore."

I said while saluting to her proudly. She nodded and started to float above the ground.

"I put great trust into you... Don't dissapoint me... Again."

I set my hoof back to the ground and smiled a bit more. I haven't had the time left to answer her once more. She wrapped her wings around herself and slowly vanished into the darkness. After Luna vanished my dream became more usual and calm. Preparing me for what's coming next...
