I was halfway to my room, not really paying any mind to the two royal sisters chasing after me, when I saw movement out of the corner of my eye. A few seconds later, an arrow grazed my breast plate, followed by a feminine voice yelling

"SORRY!"

I turn my head swiftly, my gaze falling upon a Pegasus. Blonde ponytail, indigo fur, darker guard armor, and she was sporting an embarrassed look. I appear to have made my way to the training grounds, and somehow this mare had missed a target that was nowhere near the corridor...and managed to hit me.

"That was..."

"The worst shot you've ever seen?" She asked

"...Impressive." I say, she looks absolutely shocked "I dare say that you'd be the best shot here, if you train more. If you wish, I will train you personally." I say

"Well, you look more experienced then my colleagues, so if you wouldn't mind?"

"Not at all. Now, do you see that target?" She nods "Hit it." I say

"Okay, here goes nothing." She says, she lines up her bow with the target, breaths once, and fires. The target is unscathed, and there is a new chip in the wall. She sighs "I really suck at this."

I pull out my bow, and notch a Dwarven arrow. "I do not aim with my bow, I aim with my eye." I let it fly, and it hits the bullseye. I notch another arrow "I do not shoot with my bow, I shoot with my mind." It flies from my bow, splitting the first arrow. Shocked gasps and murmurs of amazement surround me. I ignore them, and notch one more arrow "I do not kill with my bow..." I let the arrow fly, and it spilts the second arrow, and the entire field is quiet. I turn to face the mare, who is surrounded by guards and servants. "...Those who kill with their bow have forgotten the face of their father. I kill with my heart."

"That was...amazing! Who taught you that?" The mare asked

"The saying, or how to use the bow?"

"The second one."

"My father. He was a hunter, and taught me almost everything I know. Everything else I learned from...experience." I said "Now, hit the target."

"I'll tr-"

"No, you won't try. You will hit the target, otherwise it will kill you." I said, unbeknownst to everyone I was casting an illusion spell and painting a picture in this mares mind.

"What, but it's ju-"

"It's an enemy hostile, charging straight at you. It will kill you, unless you kill it first." I said, finishing the spell.

She looks at the target and her eyes widen in fear. She notches an arrow, and let's it fly. It hits the target dead center, and the illusion spell dissipated and she turned to me glaring. "What in Faust's name was that?" She demanded

"The way my father taught me, effective is it not?"

"Yes but that was just...just..."

"Mean? Cruel? Do you think actual war will be any different? If you do I have some unfortunate news for you, war is hell. There are no timeouts, no room for reasoning, there is only a decision. Who is going to die, you or the enemy? This is what my world is, a perpetual state of war. The wilds are unsafe, nor the roads. Towns are under threat of Daedric attack, and the survivors of said attacks won't stay that way for long. In my world, peace is rarely talked about....and it doesn't always last. Count your lucky stars that you can sleep without fear of a dagger slitting your throat. Celestia, you and Luna need to teleport with me to my room to discuss those ASSassins."

"Reaper, that can wai-"

"NO IT CANNOT, IF MY SUSPICIONS ARE CORRECT THEN THEY WILL NOT STOP TILL YOU ARE DEAD. YOU, ME, LUNA, TELEPORT NOW!" I snap. Sick and tired of this, I understand that they are used to peace...but this was not something that could be put off till tomorrow. If this was the Dark Brotherhood...well then their nightmother and I need to have a chat. Lightheadedness...must have teleported. "Celestia, can you put a mute spell on this room?"

"Yes."

"Do it, Luna take a seat." I said, locking the door. I waited till I heard Celestia's horn turn off. "Now, the assassination attempt. Who would have hired the Dark Brotherhood to kill you?"

"The Dark what?"

"A group of assassins, very deadly, and very effective. They never stop till their contract is fulfilled." I say "Now, who would have hired them?"

"Nopony! We are at peace!" Celestia stated

"Well, their are the Katakahns...and the Myrkurs....possibly the Zebras...perhaps the Kirins...The Gryphons....some Dragons." Luna said

"Luna, what are you talking about?" Celestia asked

"While you were lost in your euphoria sister, I was watching our allies. Many have think we have grown weak enough to be easily taken, and unfortunately sister that is the truth. Reaper has enough skill and experience to take Equestria by himself!" She said "And Reaper...their where more magical anomalies akin to yours when you entered Equestria. Three of them to be exact."

"...Where?"

"The Royal Garden."

"When?"

She smirked. "Just now."

Author's Note

I decided to bring in all three of them, because I beat the games on the highest difficulties with those characters...SO THEY SHALL ALL COME!

And if you don't know what I'm talking about...then go to my blogs. I had a vote the only one person paid it any mind.
