Author's Note

Here we go the chapter that could either ruin me or make this better either way it will continue to be written. Please, no hate.

Truth

(POV Ausar)

Goddamnit, why the hell did I lose control like that? It was like I was another person.

"It's the blood," said a zebra to my right.

"Who are you?"

"I am Zulu and I know what has happened to you."

"Then what is wrong with me?"

"When a dragon is killed it passes on it's power to its killer as some sort of honor for defeating them but with the power comes the curse from which dragons suffer," Zulu paused then sat down across from me. "Dragons blood causes three things one good the others not. First is power and although you may not have much now it will come later, second is the dragon greed causing you to covet gold and treasure, and third is what can only be described as rage. It causes small bouts of anger and causes you to do horrible things but there may be a way to contain it."

"That must be the reason lost control against the princess and her guards.," I sighed and looked up at Zulu. "Damn what a mess."

"In Zebra history, there are tales of our ancestors using a type of flower to control the rage and greed but leaving them with the power," He looked at me. "Before I was captured by these dogs I was able to see one in the forest nearby."

"How long would it take you to create this mixture?"

"A day or two," he replied.

"Now how in the hell am I supposed to explain this to the Equestrians."

"Perhaps you could attend the council of leaders," he said. "But first you would need a guard to go with you."

"That is an interesting idea I will think about it."

"I will go to the forest with the other zebras and collect the flower as well as many other herbs and flowers for our potions."

"Ausar!" yelled a small diamond dog.

"What is it?"

"Purple pony is free."

"Fuck."

(POV Twilight)

"Uh, what happened?" I groaned.

"Princess are you alright?" asked a voice from my right.

"Who's there?" I asked.

"My name is Stormy Night I was one of the guards who was captured along with you."

"Where are we?" I said as I slowly opened my eyes.

"It seems to be some sort of cage," Stormy replied. "But it's pretty big."

"It's probably a slave cell."

"Wait they're going to enslave us," Stormy who I now recognized as one of Celestia's high guards asked in horror.

"No, we aren't going to enslave you," said a voice from outside the cage. "Ausar hates slavery."

"Who's there," I asked the voice.

A large minotaur stepped out from around the corner and looked at us. He was huge bigger than any minotaur I'd ever seen.

"I am Stone Hoof."

"Woah," said the voice of Stormy. "You're huge."

"You should watch your phrasing," he said to the confused mare. "Most would take that as an invitation."

"An invitation?" Stormy asked.

"Stormy," I said to get her attention. "He meant that it sounded sexual."

"All I said was that he...was...huge...oh I get it now."

"And this is why you were so easily beaten," Stone said. "Most of your guards are incompetent."

"Hey I'm not incompetent," she looked at me and whispered. "What does incompetent mean?"

"Your lucky that Ausar has decided not to kill you."

"Well even if he did he won't get the chance."

"If you are planning to use magic you should take notice of the black ring around your horn."

"Wait what ring?"

"A magic suppressor," Stone explained. "Found it in the dragon's hoard."

"Well, we have Stormy's magic."

"Less powerful silver ring," He said quickly. "The black one was being sent to a prison for dangerous magic users."

"Well, what about the others?"

"Oh them," He smiled. "They have been dealt with."

"Wait you killed them!"

"No no they just asked to be let out and we let them out but unfortunately we didn't have enough pony sized clothes to replace all of their ripped ones."

"Wait what?" I was horrified. "So what are they wearing?"

"Well, I know the mares are wearing something white and are quite happy while the stallion was able to fit into the clothes of a merchant that the dragon killed."

"You are disgusting."

"Why what are we doing wrong?"

"You have mares walking around covered in nothing."

"Wait a second it seems you misinterpreted my words," he said. "They were wearing only their armor due to the battle which ripped their clothes up but was replaced by clothing made out of a bunch of white blankets that the merchant was carrying."

"Oh umm."

"Wow your more sexual than the griffons in here."

Down the hall was a clanging sound and I watched as a black colored griffon walked around the corner.

"My turn Stone," he said while looking at me out of the corner of his eye.

"I am fine Charcoal go back to watching those other ponies."

"Why have you taken a liking to them?"

"No, I just hate and don't trust you."

"Come on I only went after one."

"Charcoal leave."

While the two were arguing I crawled over to Stormy and got her attention.

"Stormy," I whispered. "Take the ring off my horn."

"Why?" she asked.

"So we can get out of here of course."

"Oh um ok," Stormy crawled over to me and pulled off the black ring. "What now?"

"Now we escape," I said and turned just in time to see charcoal storming off.

"Now where were we," said Stone as he turned to look at me.

"We were at the part where I break out and save the others."

He saw that the black ring was gone but his smile never left his face. He almost seemed to get happier.

"Good job pegacorn."

"I am an alicorn," I said forcefully angry at the minotaur for using such an insult.

"No, you are an artificial alicorn or a pegacorn."

"Fuck you!" I yelled and released a magic bolt at the cage bars which melted.

"Oh shit," he said as he ran off.

"Hurry stormy he probably went to go get his leader," I said to the small mare.

"Ok let's go."

(POV Ausar)

On my way to the cells, I ran into Stone who was quite distraught.

"Ausar thank the gods that dog found you the pegacorn has escaped and is trying to find the others."

"What happened I thought you had it under control?"

"I was distracted when Charcoal tried to get to the ponies."

"Damn that griffon where is he?"

"I don't know he stormed off when he was denied entry."

"I'll deal with him later," I replied to Stone's explanation. "Where are the other ponies?"

"When they woke up and we fixed their clothing we moved them into a different cage."

"BOOM!" the cave around us rumbled as a shockwave rippled through the earth.

"Seems she found them."

"Lead me there now," I said to Stone as we began to run with Zulu following behind us.

(POV Stormy)

This won't end well. The princess seems to be on a rampage.

"BOOM!" she blasted through a wall and we came face to face with the other guards who wore tattered clothing.

"Princess!" Yelled the only stallion in the room. "We're so happy to see you."

"Hurry we have to leave," she yelled to them.

"Why?" asked one of the mares.

"What do you mean why?"

"Why do we need to leave I like it here," she said.

"What is wrong with you?"

"Princess their eyes," I said to her.

We stared at their eyes and we saw small wisps of purple magic flowing from their eyes.

"What has he done to you?"

"I removed a control spell from them," said a menacing voice. "They were under Celestia's control."

"What no Celestia would never do such a thing!" yelled the princess.

"Actually princess she did," said the one stallion. "Before I was a guard I was in prison for revealing something that Celestia was doing to the others here."

"What did you reveal?"

"He revealed to us what Celestia had done to your assistant," said one of the mares.

"She has done nothing to him."

"Has the dragon grown wings yet," Asked another.

"No, but he is just a baby."

"He has been with you for over ten years most dragons grown wings by five and he should be at least six feet tall and from when I last saw him he was barely four feet tall."

"Well maybe he is just different," Reasoned the princess.

"Have you looked closely at the runes drawn upon him that allow him to act as a magical mailbox?"

"No."

"Look at them next time you see him and find out what they are exactly."

By this time the purple mist had disappeared from their eyes.

"She must have had a good reason right."

"She has altered this boy's life forever," said the menacing voice of Ausar. "The boy is to be brought here and freed from what your leader has done."

"How do I know you're not controlling them?" she asked.

"Look at my hands," he said as he raised his hands which had a black magical aura surrounding them. "Is my magic purple?"

"No, but someone else could have done it."

"What color is Stormy's magic?" He asked.

The princess looked to me and I let go of my disguise and let my magic flow out in purple waves.

"I was the one who enchanted them and I have now released them."

"Why release them is you were loyal to Celestia?"

"Celestia is not above threatening families or using Luna to do it."

"But she would never."

"Think about it Twilight," I said to her. "Has she ever helped you in a battle against your enemies."

"well, she's busy."

"No, she's not she is sitting in her room eating cake and getting fat."

"Twilight," said Ausar. "You have two choices one follow me and be on the side of good or two go back to Celestia and continue with the false truths."

"Her truth is not false."

"It seems you have chosen," Ausar said almost sounding sad. "We shall return you to your home but when we leave the boy will come with us."

"No never!" she yelled.

"You have no choice," Ausar said as he raised his hand an blasted her with a large blast of magic which knocked her out. "Grab her we are leaving for Ponyville."
