The Mark

       While I was walking out of the studio I heard a familiar voice screaming my name out at least 8 times.

     "RUN!!!" Said a pony that looked similar to the one I had described in the audio log, the one that was calm one moment, screaming the next.

     I followed the ponies advice, but in a way no pony there was expecting I ran around in front of the pony shouting, who was Pinkie, big surprise there. She saw me and started following close behind me, I just kept sprinting leading her into my trap.

    "WHY DO YOU NEED TO RUN, PINKIE WON'T HURT YOU." I heard the pink pony screech.

    As I neared closer to what I remember as Cloudsdale, I extended my wings and started gliding upward, Pinkie on the ground floor saying she'll catch me eventually. Turned around to see another pony I remembered, but not from recent memory, he was a part of my childhood, the only other alicorn in class.

    "Aces, Is that you?" Asked the bacon maned stallion.

    "In the living flesh." I responded in a happy voice.

    He had flew over to me to say he was glad to see I was alive, to be frank I said the same to myself and him.

     "So have even considered coming to Mareizona to see me and my family again?" Said my best friend, Claudio.

     "Sorry, It's probably gonna have to wait, I still have things to do in Ponyville." I say sadly.

     He seemed to just leave me alone after that. I flew away, Claudio waving all the way. But I needed to start tracking my next marefriend, Rainbow Dash.

    "Hey, Aces how have you been?" I heard Rainbows voice behind me.

     "Well, I do have Fluttershy and Pinkie after me, does that count as all butterflies and rainbows." I said blankly.

    "Why don't you come over to my house, you can see your twins." Rainbow screeched with barely contained delight.

    As we flew off to Rainbows home, I started to think, why I was chosen to be here, why I had so many girlfriends. I don't even know half of the crap i've done here. Oh well just enjoy the calm while it lasts, I supposed. Why was calmness a need of mine? Was it because of me always forming out a plan for everything I could think of that needed a plan? Was it because I was tired of this world pummeling me down into the ground?

      It was none of these. I felt like I was becoming crueler every step I took along my path. It was me choking on big decisions.

I knew I was never any good at making choices in the human world. Whatever the reason maybe, I carry on like a solider on his last mission, I never let go until my job is done.

     "Rainbow, wait one second." I sighed out to Rainbow.

     I flew down to ground level and saw something ominous snaking around the woods I was in. I heard a laugh and saw a sudden mark on the ground for a few seconds. It was the mark of one of Discords followers. I flew back up before I got the urge to even lightly tap the mark.

     "We can start moving again." Rainbow took off as soon as I said start.... as per usual.
