Prologue

“Bitter Venomous Posion, you have committed the highest crime possible in Equestria. You have murdered 150+ in your life time, before your last killing spree. Over the last Hearth’s Warming you more than doubled that number, all the way to 493 killed in one night. We have been searching for you for 10, but know we have found you. And now we have no choice but to sentence you to death, I should of never trusted you and given you a horn,” shouted a pony wearing a cloak and hat.

“Ahh, but Starswill I am a Alicorn now, you can’t murder me,” I said.

Starswill cleared his throat,”You tricked me, pretended to be a good pony, I gave you those wings but I never gave you your true Alicorn immortality. Amd I have already blocked your horn and wings. Today, on the 10th Hearth’s Warming Eve you shall die, at sunrise. Remember that date for me.” Then Starswill used his magic to levitate me onto a wooden platform above a magically made fire,”Oh, just saying the platform will be burnt to a crisp by then. Then you will fall... “

Starswill had walked away and then I looked at the clock ticking infront of me, the unicorns in charge of rising the sun were due to do it at 7 o’clock sharp. I saw it was 3 am and pretty soon ponies gathered around to watch the pony who struck them down through the night. I looked down at my hooves which were trembling. Wishing I didn’t have to go down this way. I looked at my options but the I saw some kind of poison form in my glass cage. It was a sleeping poison and I fell down onto the wood causing a cracking sound.q

I fell asleep but I was awoken by the flames burning my hooves as I fell down into the flames. I but the glass keeping me trapped inside but it was enchanted. I hit the wall only to fall down from the fire burning my fur, only to struggle to keep myself up after that. Soon I had collapsed for the last time and in a matter of hours I was a pile of bones and ash. The ponies cheered seeing I was gone for good and didn’t even bother to burry my bones.

I opened my eyes in what seemed like years seeing I was in a dark stary abyssal plain surrounding me. I saw my once white scruffy coat full of red bloodstains was now pure black. My mane was a flowing aurora of the night sky and was no longer the blood red I had before now. I saw my eyes in a puddle of reflective blood. My eyes where just plain white, no iris or pupils and seemed to be glowing. There was a white mist traveling from side to side. Then in the distance I saw a white floating figure moving closer. As it became more clear I saw it was a white Pegasus. Her mane was flowing too and it looked like fireworks exploding in the night sky. Her eyes’ whites where a light blue and her iris was a bright yellow. It looked like they were glowing and then she disappeared.

I turned around to see her right in front of my face as she shouted out to me,”HEEEELLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! You must be wandering what happened? You see you where in a coma in the Important Ghost Realm! You are the Ghost of Hearth’s Warming De-“

A new face appeared and cut the other ‘ghost’ and finished,”Death. Tell me why you let him get the chance to live here again Presents?” I took a better look at her, she had a pure black coat infact it was darker than mine and anything I had seen before. Her eyes had cat like slits and was red which infact was glowing, and the eye whites was black too, just not as dark. Her mane was like a river of flowing blood. She was a unicorn and was wearing a cloak as well.

“You see Ghost Heart’s Warming Future every thing must end. You have seen it in your prophecies about the future! He is the best for the job of ending Hearth’s Warming!” Presents said.

(Future said but was ignored,”But he will kill anypony he comes across.”)

”Oh and I didn’t properly introduce myself yet, I am the Ghost of Hearth’s Warming Presents or Presents for short. Here you get a new look which suits your importantance the most! And welcome to the club! You are now the fourth Hearth’s Warming Ghost! There is me, you, Future here and Past. I wonder where she could be.”

I looked around and then saw another pony walk up to us, it was a grey Earth Pony. Her eyes where grey, so was her mane, tail, coat etc. She had a inviting look on her sad looking face. She walked over ti me and hugged me. I was completely unsure what was happening. But then I realized I had the chance to eventually
kill real ‘alive’ ponies so I ignored it. Then she actually talked to me,”I missed you.”

“What!?!? What the fuck are you talking about?!?!” I asked in surprise and anger. Who could possibly miss me. Then I looked down at her, she was just a foal.

“Oh, of course, dad. It is me Love Posion,” shesaid. I thought back then remembered the one thing what caused me to kill all of those ponies on Hearth’s Warming Eve. Besides me, I had a wife who was just as good a murder as me, it was the only pony I loved before our child came along. But when she was captured and her head was publicly cut off I had a raging moment. But then I felt my destiny pour into me and I became 1 dimensional, I could not care less for my daughter right now. I needed to escape into the world. Then I had an idea! I could use my strong magic and find a way out since I could tell Hearth’s Warming was on the way. I then had a plan, all I needed to do was fulfill it.
