Torn

My name is Jason K. Michaels and right now I'm sitting in a dark cell as big as a small bathroom, and right now I'm waiting for trail on war crimes against a country I didn't even commit as well as trespassing in their territory. What I'm more worried about is that i haven't even seen the rulers of this country i was picked up by the army and brought to the dungeons at their Capitol why I don't know they could have just killed me. Last time I was here was when I was just a boy I met two girls they were nice but they were older than me by a good amount but they introduced me to another girl one my age, but when tensions got high between my country and theirs again she got me out of the country and back to mine.

My family had been dead for a while before, so I was just roaming back and forth before they took me in but due to the tension they thought I would be safer with my own. Since then humans had migrated into their country and them into ours but the tension is still there. I was eventually put into foster care of a man i began to know as my commanding officer i joined the military at 18 and have been in for a while climbing the ranks i quickly reached corporal that's when i was sent on deployment to the boarder from there i was walking when I got picked up by their army you know the rest.

After I was thrown in here they would come by and question me usually with beatings and other forms of torture nothing to kill me but I know they weren't going by the books. If anything the only person that knows about my treatment is their direct superior. I wonder what they are doing they haven't come by since yesterday morning. A little hole in the door slides open at that moment letting in some fraction of light.

"Prisoner 5567 get up and go to the back wall facing it!" With that Jason stands and goes to the wall turning away from the door to tired to care. Once jason got to the wall the door opens letting the guards in to the room, they then walk up to him and punch him in the side of his ribs. Jason hunched in pain trying not to cry out. The guards grab his hands and put him into cuffs and drag him out of the room. The two guards drag him down the partly lit hall they came to a door with a guard standing there. 'He looks important '

The two dropped jason to his knees and kicked him forward the guard looks down and smirks at him.

"Well what do we have here? A human soldier? Well we do have an interesting trial to look forward to." With that the guard looks to the other two.

"Get him up and get him to the throne room for his trial and give him the good ole canterlot welcome while your at it." With that the guard walks through the door laughing like a maniac. The two guards from before look down at me smirking as they bring me to my knees.

"Welcome to your last day in canterlot." He says while bringing his fist into Jason's side while the other guard goes for his jaw making Jason spit blood onto the floor, after he hits the floor coughing up blood one of the guards bring their hoof into his gut and chest with multiple kicks. The guard picks him up while the other begins to use jason as a punching bag. After the guards were done they open the door to the outside and drag him out. As they drag him the staff and other guards look on with uncertain looks. 'I must look like I'm on the brink of death it doesn't matter once I'm trialed I'll be sentenced for death for the crimes that they accuse me of, I just want this to end already no need to draw it out.'

They finally reach the throne room when the guards on duty open the door they drag him inside. Looking around the room from his peripherals Jason sees a few ponies lining the walls. He looks forward slightly to see the royals in front, but what he got was not what he was expecting he saw two mares instead of a queen and king next to them stood a lavender pony whose back was to him speaking to the mares. The guards bring him to the bottom of the steps leaving him on his knees looking at the ground his face hidden from the eyes of his judges.

"Prisoner 5567 corporal Michaels you have been accused of crimes against equestria I would be lying if I said I wasn't surprised but I truly am we haven't had any problems with the human colony for 5 years, what possessed you to do the crimes you have been charged?" Jason doesn't say anything just looking at the ground with pain shooting through his body with every breath.

"It would suit you better to speak of your reasons."

"I didn't do what I've been charged with and I didn't know I was over the border if I was at all, the area I was in was not marked and I was just doing my job, if you wouldn't mind could we just get this over with it's not like I have any true family to go back to, if I was to be let go I don't think I would be in service much longer when my commanding officer hears about this." Jason spat as he continued to not look at their faces.

Jason didn't hear anything after that he was guessing they had decided what his punishment was gonna be. 'Maybe they will make it fast a quick decapitation or maybe a firing squad that or they could make an example of me and make it slow and painful whatever they do I don't care, then I wont have to deal with the troubles of this fight and just be at peace.'

Jason is snapped out of his thoughts as he hears hooves walking up to him he didn't dare look up. The steps stopped directly in front of him. Suddenly he feels the soft touch of hands on his face he tried to shake them off and fight them from lifting his face but he couldn't and fell to the will of the hands owner. Looking up to the owner of the hands his swollen face for all to see he wasn't expecting for the one that lifted his face to react the way they did. Standing in front of him with her hands over her muzzle was a blue coated mare with a mane and tail like the night sky with a tattoo of the moon on her right shoulder.

"Omg!... J... Jason is that you." Jason just looked at her in confusion. 'How does she know my first name?'

"Who's asking?" The blue mare just drops to her knees and brings him into a hug. Jason just looks past her shocked at what is happening for a moment he loses his consciousness but comes back quickly.

"Who... who are you?"

The mare is still hugging him crying into his shoulder barely able to speak.

" I.. it's me... L...Luna!"

Jason looks down at her crying form not knowing how to react about hearing that name he just decides to put his head down into her shoulder letting her cry.
