My Little Pony and the Holy Artifact
Bring out your Dead
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIn the town though all across in the middle of it piles and piles of dead ponies, seemingly have died from disease are being placed onto carts. A dong was heard as a metal bar stroke a big bell.
The grey pony who was carrying this had a White and black mane was shouting out “Bring out your dead”. His cutie mark was that of a dead pony being dragged by a cart
All across the stench of people starting to rot was plaguing the streets. Ponies weren’t too sad about this though, it had been as though this was a weekly occurance to bring out those that had died and pile them on a cart and have them pushed off onto a burial site. another clunk on the bell from the grey pony.
“Bring out your dead”
The grey pony was following a black coated pony with a white mane and had a skull and crossbones for her cutie mark, she was pulling the cart. Another clunk on the bell.
“Bring out your dead”
Then a pony came carrying his dead relative. “Nine bits” Said the grey pony, charging his customer for his cart to carry out his dead relative for him. He payed the grey pony and placed his relative on the cart. This cart was the most stacked of all the carts carrying the other dead ponies. Another clunk on the bell.
“Bring out your dead”
All around town the other peasants were acting a bit nutty symptoms from this mysterious plague that had been attacking the city, ponies were digging into baskets, some were doing a silly dance where they were on their side and going around in a circle while flailing their legs on the ground.. Another clunk on the bell.
“Bring out your dead”
The two ponies came to a house where a mare with a yellow coat and straight black mane came out with her cat. She then began to fluff out her cat against her hanged cloth by beating it against it. Another clunk
“Bring out your dead”
The two ponies stopped as another pony with a sorta large figure with a blue coat and purple mane came out with a cryptic looking violet pony whose mane had faded to complete white. “Here” said the blue stallion “I’ve got one for you”
“Nine bits” responded the grey pony. The blue stallion gave the grey pony his nine bits and was about to place the body onto the cart when a voice came from the cryptic looking pony.
“I’m not dead”
“What” responded the Grey pony.
“Nothing” replied the blue stallion insiting that nothing had happened and trotted a bit closer when the voice came again fromt he cryptic pony
“I Said I’m not dead”
“Hey” responded the grey pony “He says he’s not dead”
The blue stallion was quick with his reply “Yes he is”
The old pony responded “I’m not”
“He isn’t” Replied the grey one.
The blue stallion seemingly eager to be rid of his relative continued “Well he will be soon he’s very ill”
“I’m getting better” The old pony said with reassurance
The blue stallion looked back at his old relative and gave him his own reassurance “No your not you’ll be stone dead in a few moments”
The grey pony had held his hand out with the nine bits that had just been given to him “I can’t take him like that” he told the hopeful customer “It’s against regulations.”
The old pony practically pleaded with his seemingly heartless relative “I don’t want to go into the cart”
The blue stallion just gave him a seemingly cold statement “Oh don’t be such a baby”
The grey pony however just shook his head “I can’t take him”
The old pony gave another plea “I feel fine”
The blue stallion looked at the grey pony pleadingly “Come on do me a favor”
The grey pony just shook his head “ I can’t”
The blue stallion still pleaded with the grey pony “Would you wait around for a few minutes he’ll be dead before too long”
The grey pony gave a plea of his own “I gotta go to Redmare’s house, his family lost 9”
The old pony continued pleading even though it was evident he had no input on this “I think I’ll go for a walk”
The blue stallion looked back at his cryptic relative “Look you old coot you ain’t fooling anyone just accept your fate and die already” he then turned back to the grey pony “When’s your next round?”
The grey pony looked at him and answered “Sunday”
The blue stallion pleaded “There must be something you can do”
The old pony interrupted “I feel happy, OH so Happy” While he was saying this the Grey pony looked around to see if anyone was watching them seeing that they weren’t he took this oppurtunity to strike a profit and struck the old pony in the head with his metal bar.
The blue stallion was pleased with this “Ah thank you very much pal” He then slumped his NOW dead relative on the cart
The grey pony not feeling any bit of remorse for what he did simply nodded at him “Not a problem, I’ll see you on Sunday” the blue stallion just nodded.
It was a little while afterwards that Twilight sparkle had galloped past them both with spike still banging the coconuts against each other as she went through town.
“Who’s that” asked the blue stalion as they passed by.
“I don’t know” Replied the grey pony “She must be from Canterlot, probably royalty”
The blue stallion looked back at the grey pony and asked him “How do you know that”
With a straight face the grey pony had replied “She hasn’t gotten shit on her"
