Nothing is Over

This is to set the mood for this first part

It was a bright and sunny day in Ponyville, with not a cloud in the sky. All the ponies were out and about, doing pony things. Fluttershy was having a great day, lunch with her friends and buying treats for her animals. Nothing could ruin this day for her

As she was approaching her cottage, she noticed rustling in the bushes. Thinking it was one of her animals, she continued to her cottage. As she was about to cross the bridge over, a large cloud grey pony come crashing through the brush. She stopped dead in her tracks as the pony seemed to look over at her before he seemed to pass out. He was a large light grey earth pony with a marble rock patterned coat. He had a light blue mane slightly longer than most stallions keep theirs. It was also matted like he hadn't taken care of it. Fluttershy didnt know what to think, until she noticed blood trickling down his side.

I hear the sounds of a cry and beatings. Looking around, I see I'm in a small hut. I look over and see two griffons, an officer and a grunt, next to another pony. One griffon is beating the pony mercilessly while the officer watches on. The officer approaches me, stares me dead and the eyes.

" I admire your bravery, pony, but there is a fine line between bravery and stupidity. You think because you say nothing... You are strong? You are not strong, you persistent bastard." The officer scoffs.

The other pony looks over to me " Don't tell them a bucking thing!"

The officer turns back to the other pony and asks, " Are all pony soldiers like him?"

The other pony then spits blood in the officer's face. The officer wipes the blood off and inhales on a cigar, then sticks it in the other pony's eye. The other pony lets out a bloodcurdling scream.

"Kill them both." The officer says as he leaves the hut. The grunt nods and unsheathes a small knife, before tuning the the first pony.

"Go to Tartarus." Was all he could get out before his throats was slit. The griffon then approaches me

" You are not strong, pony." The griffon mutters loud enough for me to hear.

My eyes fly open. I was shaking in a cold sweat, gasping for air. I feel something soft over my head and eyes. Oh Celestia, they found me and are going to waterboard me. Only, I don't hear anypony around me, like I'm, all alone. My hooves aren't tied down and it feels like a pillow or bed I'm laying on. Sitting up and removing what looked like a wet compress off my head, I see I'm in....a house? Or pet store? From the layout, it's definitely a house. My captor comes into the room with a tray of water. It was a yellow pegasus with a pink mane. She looks similar to what I saw before I blacked out. She seemed almost afraid of me. Maybe she knows what I am and what I've seen and done.

"Oh, y-your awake." She squeaks out just barely audible.

" Where am I?" I ask her. She seems to shrink back a little." Where did you take me?"

" M-my house, o-outside of Ponyville." She answers back. I move to stand up but she nudges me back onto the couch." No, your hurt. You shouldn't be walking around, I was going to take you to the doctor but I couldn't move you that far, um if that's ok with you?"

" Trust me when I say this, I've been through worse." She seemed to get the point as she backed away from me. "What's your name?"

"Um, I'm Fluttershy." I could barely hear her through our conversation, but somehow she got quieter.

"What was that?"

"It's Fluttershy" she said

This time I could barely make it out but I'll just roll with it," nice to meet you, the names Marble Force. Just call me Marble." She just sat there, I guess still trying what to make of me." Well, I guess outlived my stay, so if you could bring me my bag I'll be on my way."

"Your leaving?" She asks as she she walks over to a table with my saddlebag sitting on it.

" Yes, I wanted to get a room in the hotel before dinner. Um, you wouldn't happen to have a map of the town? I don't really know my way around." I say while getting my saddlebag on. There's a slight tightness in my right shoulder and a bit of stinging, but it's not bad.

"Um, I d-don't have a map, but I can show you around. Um if you want." She answers

"Ok, lead the way." With that, we set off towards Ponyville.
