A spark

The only real choice I can make is the present. Maybe in another time I would have picked the other two. But for now I can only look ahead.

The two other orbs fade away as the middle orb rose up. The orb just floats there above me. The whispering comes back to me as more images start to appear. They look like the ponies the voices talk about.

The first looks to be a male unicorn. The unicorn is rather slim and looks starved. Looking closer you can see his ribs through his shirt. There are tear marks on his face and just looking at him makes you sympathize with him. He has pink hair with a coat of blue. Looking at him you can just tell that he used to be a model citizen.

The whispering quits and a male voice filled with sorrow speaks up. "They took her. I did everything they wanted from me. I accepted their changes and zealously protected their name. But the moment my daughter was found they took her away from me. My little Cadence was stolen and she doesn't even know. I've tried to get her back but the princess's won't let me anywhere near her. I tried to plead and beg but they wouldn't listen. Then I realized. This nation is corrupted by all of those nobleman and these two bitches. But there is nothing I can do because I am astallion who's wife committed suicide. I won't be long to follow

The voice stopped and the whispering came back. The picture blurred into the background. A picture seems to be erasing itself and then fixing itself over and over again. Looking a little to the right I see the next one. It appears to be a teenager wearing a hoody. He seems rather perky compared to the last one. He is a little dragon with green and purple spikes.

The young man's voice filled the void. "I am everyone's number one assistant. They are all using me for there own wants. I was born into slavery locked in my golden chains. This is all I know and love so I don't know what to do. But this is what I've always done so why resist now?

The silence is deafening. It just drills into me. The teenager fades into the background like the last one. Many things are changing. I am changing and I'm starting to realize that this won't be painless. I must continue forward. I cannot stop now. I am so close to the promised land.

Looking at the very last person, it appears to be female. She is wearing a mailman uniform. She is grey with straw colored hair. Her eyes go in two different directions. She looks rather innocent and cute, but a little dumb. There appears to be wings attached to this one.

" I've lived a horrible life, but I always try to look at the good. This world is corrupted and I must protect my little muffin. She is too innocent for this world. I've got ties with the mobsters and the mafia. All of the citizens know me. I'm as innocent as they come, but maybe a little clumsy though.

Then she fades into the background like all the others. My head is pounding like a drum. This is a hard choice to make, even harder then before. This might be my last question or maybe there's more to come.
