Almost entirely the sky was blue, no cloud interfered with its indefinite and finite blue, nor did any Pegasus mold it, even though it was unthinkable that there would be a Pegazo in that area, that immense Sea of Sky was what Spike's eyes saw while it stopped at the top of one of the thickest trunks of the second largest tree in the forest around Yusuf's land.
The great trees of the forest, covered the land almost making it invisible, the huge mansion that loomed inside the forest. This quiet forest was located on the Griffostone Peninsula near the River Cut hiding the huge room.
A lot that almost resembled a block with about 100 meters wide and 100 meters long, however the door that led to the entrance of the lot had a closed sign. The outside of the mansion had a rustic and old air, of a Vanilla White Color, the roof was made with black tiles, Enough wide for a single person almost the entire land was occupied by the house, with 3 floors, many sales almost in its Most with old and rustic looking balconies. Even behind the mansion there was a small garage.
However, it was not the only house for lodging, other 6 cabins, clean and of a more rustic wood color and with a village appearance, were on the land but Empty.
In front of all these houses that formed an L in front of them there was a pool 4 wide, 6.50 long and 1.60 deep. The grass of the place was really beautiful and lived (Brazilian grass) completely weed, there were trees on the ground but mostly flowers or fruits.
Suddenly a chime was heard, the Dragon's ears heard this.
What happened old man, you can't stand being alone for a few hours that you prepare food faster than usual "stands on the trunk" Well I guess I'm a little hungry.
He jumped from the trunk where he was standing, landing on one of the trees below, he ran from Tree to Tree like an agile and fast Puma, his shadow was seen across the grass, Spike ran, Jumped, Climbed, Swayed, Climbed, He displayed his incredible skills at the speed of an eagle flying from trunk to trunk improvising at the moment, clinging to wood with his fingers as if they were hooks, he reached a sector where the branches, leaves and trees had merged creating a vegetative wall, but luckily for the Dragon Yusuf he had already anticipated this before he began his Daily training.
Spike stopped short on an old and rotten looking trunk of a Tree, attached to the end of this was a coiled Liana, which held a small but heavy trunk.
Spike approached her and took the vine with one hand and with his right foot, the rotten end of the Trunk, gave way and the heavy trunk fell down, propelled up by the liana Spike reached the trunk of a new Tree one much more thickness that was by enzyme of the crown of all the previous trees.
This was the largest and oldest Tree in the forest, Spike deduced that it could be more than 3,000 years old, being by enzyme of all the trees he could see the Green Sea behind him and the terrain, just a few steps away. Passing the vegetative wall of trees covered by vines was a small stone path that led to a rear entrance to the grounds, on one side of this path near the Creeper but under the trunk on which Spike perched was a mountain of leaves.
Spike looked down and smiled at the mound.
"Going back in his footsteps" Here we go again, just a little bit of Faith.
He ran to the end of the Trunk, dropping down.
He could feel the wind hitting his body and stunning his ears, his eyes saw how he fell at great speed, ¿would that mountain of leaves really save him?.
But when he was about to reach the Mound, from his back two violet wings came out that began to stop the speed of his fall, when he reached the mountain he fell with the same speed as if he had thrown himself from a branch a few meters away Tall.
Spike came out of the mountain shaking the Leaves on his body and finally shook the leaves from his wings but there were some irregularities with them the inner green membrane of his wings were cut as if they were shattered pirate sails.
What Yusuf said worked. "looking at his wings" Still good for planning.
Once the leaves are removed from her body, she takes the path back to her home jogging.
Spike opened the back door and walked through the grass while the beautiful sun illuminated the terrain, thanks to his exercises climbing trees just a few minutes ago, Spike's body still boiled a little more, the sweat on his body ran everywhere, the dragon walked directly to the pool while some of the pets of the place came to greet him, three dogs, a cat, two foxes and an eagle.
He got to the pool and took off his clothes, first some brown sandals, then long black pants with blue stripes on the sides and a gray T-shirt with the part of the back cut off revealing Spike's worked back and his shattered wings, the neck part and the waist of the shirt were linked thanks to cords attached to holes in the fabric, leaving his clothes aside Spike had a muscular and toned body, almost identical to that of a Minotaur.
Spike took a dip and plunged deep into the pool, letting the cold water rejuvenate his body and take away his fatigue.
He stayed in the deep for up to 30 seconds, while outside someone with a cane waited for him outside.
When he returned to the surface, he found his mentor and friend Yusuf Diam, a 75-year-old Griffin with black fur and red mane, wearing a blue long-sleeved shirt with flower and petal patterns, espadrilles and trousers. old red.
I see you started your training early, looking at your student.
Haaaaaaaa "" replied Spike, removing the water from his face "", I started the training at 9:00 and for 1 hour I went out to run the 100kms.
I see that your training has improved, 3 years ago doing this training took you a full day, "" Yusuf spoke looking at the outskirts and at the building "" now only a few hours.
Thank you but I am not going to take the day off, he said floating on the surface.
First let's eat and then you can train as much as you want, reproach Yusuf turning around.
Sounds good to me, diving again.
When you finish come to eat we have to talk about your mission in Los Pegasus, the headquarters sent a message.
It didn't take long for Spike to finish cooling down and he got out of the water, put on some field clothes, black espadrilles, dark blue shorts that reached his thighs that highlighted his butt although he did not know it, plus a shirt short sleeve of an orange color and a brown cloth vest and on his head a blue beret, Spike did not know or did not know the relationship he had with a certain Cowgirl.
I enter the beautiful old-looking house and walk to the living room to which it connected where there was a circular wooden table with a tablecloth of yellow and orange squares drawings, plates, glasses and cutlery.
There was the delicious stew that Yusuf prepared for him every Wednesday, rabbit meat seasoned with spices and accompanied by vegetables and Rice plus a small portion of sugary Diamonds, if this did not fill you up you could still enjoy the noodle soup of his home companion.
When he got here Spike flatly refused to eat meat from other animals due to a certain girl that he remembered or rather that he did not want to remember but after 4 days living together starting with his hellish training he could not resist much more hunger and ended up thirsting.
The dinner passed with relative calm and silence, the only thing that was heard besides the chewing was the sound of a Radio program that Yusuf always listened to without fail, While they ate Yusuf spoke after swallowing the food in his beak.
The headquarters asked me to talk to you, about your deployment in Las Pegasus, as a cadet with the other murderers.
Hearing this news, the speech bubble heading for Spike's jaws stopped.
¿Has the guild already spoken?.
Correct, "" answered Yusuf putting his cutlery aside "" and as you may have imagined, due to his Great Performance, Skill and Knowledge, Mr. FoxTrop is more likely to be promoted from Cadet to Assassin.
I'm not really surprised Foxtrop is someone incredible, "" Spike roared nodding "I'm sure that of the Assassins of this generation he will be the most prominent.
Afirmative boy, "" Yusuf affirmed crossing his arms "He has already been accepted as an Assassin and it is only a matter of time before he is promoted as an Honorary Assassin, as for you, boy due to your Development, Ability and Undertaking with the mission, the Great Masters Assassins have assisted in granting you the Assassin mantle.
These words were like a hammer to the back of Spike's neck, he only limited himself to sighing crossing his arms as he leaned against the back of the chair.
! I suppose I still have to continue with my training! If you allow me, teacher, I think I lost my appetite, I will go to train for the Rest of the day, let me know when the Guild requires more cadets in other missions.
Spike pushed the chair away from him and walked towards a hallway of the house, however Yusuf stood up from the table next to his cane.
Boy! ... "" at the call of his teacher Spike stopped in his tracks and looked at him over his shoulder "" Maybe you have not understood my words, these things should not enter one ear and leave the other, from today you have become a member of the Assassins.
Hearing this, Spike's eyes and mouth were open, aralized volt seeing his Master in surprise.
¡¿That means?!.
Yusuf walked to the hallway where Spike was about to leave, both Dragon and Gryphon kept the same course.
Your first mission awaits Boy, you will travel this Friday, However every warrior needs an Adequate Armament, come with me I have a gift for you Boy.
They walked down the corridor until they stopped in front of one of the torches in the corridor (exactly the doseava) he took the torch and removed it from its place revealing a symbol in the shape of an inverted V, Yusuf's left hand had a ring with a similar symbol On his index finger he brought his ring and inserted it into the V and turned his hand, the wall in front of them plunged into the Interior and disappeared.
Now instead of a wall there was a corridor that led to a hidden basement which was connected through stairs, both the Dragon and the Gryphon went down to the basement.
When arriving down the basement was illuminated by torch light, there was a warm atmosphere, the interior was almost the same diameter as long and wide as the mansion, this place was divided into two zones on one side was a huge library, with dozens of books on each shelf, without just a certain person seeing that Library, their eyes would shine with a glare hungry for knowledge, after all the shelves touched from floor to ceiling with books that even by Spike's experience had to be taken with pinsas to read them of how old they were, but this library was not only limited to books but files, texts, writings or manuscripts, biographies and even maps of the whole world and cities were found in this gold mine.
And on the other hand, the next area was a place with a style identical to that of a Gym, with some weights, dumbbells and bars, the weight that all these copies carried were large hollow bricks filled with seed that clung to the Bars at each end . On the other hand, it was even a clean area that was more appropriate for aerobic exercises, but it had several battlements in the corners that contained in their entirety, wooden weapons, swords, axes, etc., etc. Any weapon capable of representing a threat to a being. I live had a replica there and of course some mannequins distributed by the area made with straw and wheat showing signs of use.
The first days of his training Yusuf made it clear to Spike that his muscles were going to be noticeable but not toned, his body had to find the balance between his muscular strength and his agility, the knowledge and physical training were carried out down there and his training aerobic and / or parkour would be carried out outside the place. Of course Spike's lazy attitude didn't help at all, so the challenge was mutual to both Spike for trying and Yusuf for making him try.
However, they did not enter either of these two places, they walked to the back of the room, between both sectors, there was a wall but in it the same pattern as Yusuf's ring and torch was presented.
I inserted the ring and the wall disappeared, revealing another mysterious sector, this was small, almost the same size as a room, there was a small chest, next to a bed and a writing table, Yusuf was the only one who entered that room crouching in front of the chest.
Now that you belong to the creed it will no longer be necessary for you to be sent on missions as a cadet, now you can take orders or missions on your own and I will take care of giving you your First Mission as a Spike Assassin.
Yusuf inserted the ring in the slot and the chest was opened, Yusuf checked its interior and extracted from it a tunic along with a white cloth rolled into an object, a belt, a weapon holster and 2 pocket compartments, along with a wristband and a black bag of unknown content, all these objects I leave posing on the bed.
Being an Assassin and belonging to the Creed, you will need an armament I accord to your body in the same way a tunic at your level, from the first moment I take you as a student I decided that you would inherit this tunic, it will not be necessary for you to use the tunic again that gave you the creed, this from now on belongs to you.
Spike looked at the tunic on the bed, this was a recognizable White Color but with some Brown and Orange details especially on the shoulders and elbows as well as the height, the part of the legs up to the knees was an acrid blue and the calves were white and brown again, the hood as expected had its characteristic peak, the shoes were pointed burgundy with brown fabric, in addition to this, on it were the shoulder pads and a small silver metal breastplate the size of the breastplate. to cover the heart area.
However, even if it is a waste, "" taking the card among the objects "" you will not be able to fully exploit your skills with the sword, so you will be given other weapons for your choice with which you will have to familiarize yourself, as the Assassins will know we live in the shadows protecting peace hidden from people's eyes and as such a bit of discretion is necessary on your arrival.
Still Yusuf leaned close to Spike's ear and whispered with a smile.
You are still in every decision to buy one or take it away. That is in your hands ... Now! These Dragon are the weapons that the Assassins Guild and every Assassin must possess and to dominate.
Yusuf took the tip of the cloth and rebelled what was inside, it was a dagger, both the edge and handle of the Dagger was of a silver color, that handle, looking at it closely, represented an Eagle, Yusuf took it in his hands.
This is the dagger that my grandfather inherited that was inherited from my father and then to me, not having a blood descent, this weapon that has lived for generations is now passed on to you.
Spike held the weapon with his hand, it was heavy but not as heavy as a sword, it was flexible and fast, then Yusuf caught his attention again by taking the black bag in his hand.
Being Assassins and training to face them, it does not mean that we cannot enter situations that threaten our lives, these have been our most important means of escape for generations.
From the inside of the bag I take out three fragile-looking balls of a gray color and a wick at the tip.
That is your best way of escape "" keeping them in the bag and giving them to Spike "" and finally the weapon that has accompanied the Assassins and has brought down millions of them, the legendary Weapon of every Assassin Spike is now yours.
In front of Spike were two brown and orange wristbands identical to his tunic, these normal and simple accessories contained hidden in the lower part that weapon that belonged to the Assassins, the Hidden Blade!.
Thank you very much Master, "" I thank Spike bowing to his master "" It is an honor for me to be accepted by the Order, I will abide by the order without question.
And I appreciate your dedication to our ideals, "" opening the letter and leaving it on the table "" to the place where you will go for a long time in their sights, they moved their chips a long time ago and caused enormous damage. that wrapped you inside, they let their machine work hidden from view of all while they hid behind false smiles, we never saw a headquarters necessary for that havoc or interfere, years later our enormous mistake was demonstrated, Spike you will be sent here to destroy those who long ago destroyed you.
Hearing this, Spike's eyes widened and he looked down into Yusuf's eyes.
¡Master!, Spike replied with a surprised face.
Yusuf's eyes did not take their gaze away from Spike as he pulled out a red match from a small box that he placed on the heat of a candle.
Those who 4 years ago poisoned Princess Celestia, murdered Luna and falsely harassed you and the Dragons have returned to Ponyville and now seek to take control of Equestria and the elements of harmony through an ancient and dangerous artifact that took the life of Luna and now she will do the same with Twilight.
!Master¡, Spike interrupted again with sweat on his face and a stupid look in his eyes.
Spike, "" sealing the Letter with red wax "" gives it to accepted my request that your first shipment is to eliminate those who call themselves Templars and maintain order in Equestria, we cannot let them have control of such powers , You and the other Assassins in Equestria will be in charge of this Task, at a time when they are crushed to our Order, only you and those hidden in the shadow of Equestria, carry the weight of this mission, you understand the weight that is on your shoulders.
Spike's face was sweating, so long ago that he had wanted this, the times when he felt prepared to return and take revenge on them or better said on them and now his body did not stop shaking, his ideals and intentions already They were not the same as 4 years ago and his revenge despite knowing who secretly pulled the strings, that resentment towards those who turned their back on him was returning.
Holding on to this resentment, along with his unwavering will, to Destroy those who unjustly dragged him down, his altered and nervous face calmed down, he took a deep breath and sighed, as his mind cleared.
!Yes Teacher¡, I accept Spike opening his eyes.
"!Killer bastard¡".
"!Traitor¡".
"¡Ruffian!".
"¡Monster!".
"¡I wish I had never adopted you!".
"!You don't deserve my respect or my affection¡".
"" !!Trust you, I thought you were my friend, my companion, my ally, but it turned out to be just another monster, hopefully this atrocious exile will make you understand your actions¡¡ "".
The furious voice of Twilight fell on the little dragon accompanied by the screams of the angry citizens.
"" ¡¡You will never be welcomed in Equestria again!! "".
"" !!You are nothing but scum, trash, you and your space deserve such punishment after such a heinous act¡¡ ".
"" Spike, ¡¿what do you have to say?! ".
"" !!I never did¡¡, !The Masked Man¡, !the Man with the white bag in his face¡, he is the culprit, please you are my friends, he is still at large please look for that Man "".
"" !!You think that after what you did we will hear your words, they are only the cursed texts passed from generation to generation, I think that raising you by my side would change everything but I see that I was wrong¡¡ ""
Only a single voice came out to defend him was from an acquaintance of Spike, his name was Farrel Jacob, the owner of the new pet store.
"" !!Please are condemning innocent souls¡¡, if you want to punish me but they are not the cause please Twilight this is a horrible mistake Princess "".
"" !!No my mistake was to believe that something could change in Dragons¡¡ "".
"" From today, ¡¡Spike You are banished along with all the Dragons of Equestria!! ""
Through the Everfree forest walked 6 Figures, the Great Majority of them had a menacing and robust appearance, only one of them was a small dragon that was transported with shackles on its hands and legs that were connected with chains.
His captors were soldiers. 2 Garter Warriors, Two Swordsmen and a Lancer.
The swordsmen were warriors with a simple silver armor, a breastplate that covered their entire torso, along with shoulder pads, gauntlets and ankle guards, their head was protected by a helmet that exposed their eyes and carried a long sword. Agiles on the other hand had almost no armor except on their elbows, knees and a helmet on their head, their body was much less robust than that of the swordsmen and their main weapon was a combat knife. Finally, there was the lanzero, he had a full body armor that covered both his torso and extremities, he carried a spear that he carried on his shoulder.
Although any guard would think twice before entering the Everfree forest, they did not seem tense, nervous or even upset, they were extremely calm pushing poor little dragon with their weapons or feet.
There came a point where all you could see around were crooked, old, menacing-looking trees.
¡Faster Dragon! Your final destination awaits you, do not make this more difficult for us, spat the agile Warrior, pushing Spike sharply.
I thought that showing them a little more pride, "" replied the Swordsman holding the chain that tied Spike "" poisoning and murdering two Alicorns is a really hard task,! Here among us¡, tell me the truth, then you would go for the elements of harmony among them 6 ¿What was going to be the First?.
I did not do it, answered the Dragon looking at the ground and responding with total and complete depression.
All the guards just laugh out loud at Spike's comment.
!!Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha¡¡.
The laughter of the soldiers did not reach him, nothing reached him, after all he was already destroyed, his friends who raised him and loved him as their equal abandoned him, they did not listen to him, they did not let him speak of his version, they did not show a little confident, their gazes were blades.
Applejack's look of hatred, Fluttershy's look of disappointment, the look of disgust from the love of her life Rarity, Pinky Pie's disappointed look as her fluffy hair deflated, Rainbow Dash's look of fury more than anyone else she would want to throw herself on him and hit him and worst of all, each and every one of those sensations was present in Twilight's eyes.
They did not trust me "" I speak with crystalline eyes and a broken voice "" they pushed me away, abandoned me, left me, betrayed me! I didn't do it, ¡it was the Hooded One!.
At that moment his chains tightened and his march stopped, he looked back the Guards were standing and one of the Swordsmen walked towards him.
! We know!, Whispered the Swordsman passing by his side.
¡What!, Looking at the Swordsman with a surprised face.
The swordsman looked at his comrades.
_!!!VERY GOOD HERE IS PERFECT¡¡¡ "" looking at the launcher ""!!!LIGHTFRONT LOWER IT¡¡¡
The Lancer hit the backs of his knees and Spike fell to the ground, his face showing as if his soul was returning to his body, however, it couldn't be at a worse time.
"" trying to get up "" What do you mean by that? Did you know...
But his mouth was silenced by the foot of one of the agile soldiers, who fell against the side of his face returning his face to the ground, while the foot of the soldier pressed against his head.
!Shut up for once! "" Annoying reprimand "" we can endure your insistent whining long enough "" look at the Swordsman "" then we do it here.
¡Here's good! "" Peeling an apple "" We will have to do extra work in case someone finds his body, we need to confuse it with the act of a Timber Wolf.
!¿What?! ...!What are they talking about! "" Looking at their captors "" You were supposed to banish me, let me go here I will never return, we are far enough away from Ponyville.
But his voice was silenced again by the agile soldier over him exerting more pressure on his head.
Shut up, ¡shut your fucking mouth!.
The pressure of the nimble soldier's foot increased, he could feel the pain of his face against the hard earth, even when he was so young he already understood what it could mean. away from all civilization, without the help of anyone, with people who became increasingly hostile towards the Spike began to panic, while his breathing became faster and his body unconsciously wanted to escape from that situation, but could not escape He was just a small young dragon fighting against some adults, his whole life was of total comfort and now he was not prepared for this, who could be.
The despair of the Dragon only increased the feeling of power of the guards even there were of them the Swordsman fixed his gaze on the desperate flapping of Spike's wings.
That little sound is starting to irritate me, it cuts his membranes so he won't be able to fly far from here.
Those words filled Spike's Spleen, his Eyes, Nose and Mouth began to drip snots, Saliva and Tears of fear, his fear forced him to speak with his broken voice, thinking that this would stop his captors.
!!!WHAT¡¡¡,!!!DO NOT WAIT¡¡¡,!!!PLEASE DO NOT DO THAT TO ME¡¡¡,!!!I BEG YOU NO¡¡¡,!!!DO NOT HURT ME¡¡¡.
His pleas were heard throughout the forest, tears began to flow from his eyes, while his saliva began to gush out of his mouth with each sentence he said, even his nose at that moment did not stop hyperventilating, his eyes seemed that They were about to get out of their sockets, as he began to crawl desperately through the earth trying to hold on to any roots, brush or earth to get up and escape, despite everything he was still a Young Dragon, who had not yet reached his adulthood.
But before he could act the heavy knee of the Agile Soldier fell on his back preventing escape and obstructing his lungs which made it difficult for him to speak, he could not do anything but look at the soldier above him, with pleading eyes.
¡Please leave me!, ¡I will not tell anyone! ¡Let me go! ¡Let me go! Please don't hurt me! ¡I have not done anything!, I will leave Equestria forever, never Neither you nor anyone will see me again! I will pay you I am a Dragon I know better than anyone the secret deposits of Crystals, ¡I-I-I can pay you!.
But his pleas did not work, his small and soft scalp was held by the gloved hand of soldier Agil, who spoke with a mocking smile.
¿Pay us? ¡They are not paying us we are paying them to do this Dragon Work!.
!!! NOOOOOOOOOO¡¡¡, Scream Terrified.
The tiny tips of his wings were held and the edge of the knife pierced the cartilage, detaching it from his grasp, One Slash, 2 Slashes, three Slashes, 4 Slashes.
Some vertical others horizontal others were just stabbed into the soft little yellow cartilage ruining Spike's beautiful little wings.
And speaking of him, the nerves connected to his back released the worst of emotions for a tiny body like Spike's, who let out an agonized scream, full of horror, fear and anguish.
!!!HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA¡¡¡...!!!HAAAAAAAA¡¡¡...!HAAAAAAAA! !!!NOOOOOOOO¡¡¡!!!HAAAAAAAA¡¡¡,!!! NOOOOOO¡¡¡ !!!NOOOOO¡¡¡!!! NOOOOOO¡¡¡!!! HAAAAAAAAAA¡¡¡!!! HAAAAAAAA¡¡¡!!! HELPPPPPPNOOOOOO¡¡¡!!! HAAAAAAAAA¡¡¡!!! HELPPPHAAAAAAAAAAAAA¡¡¡!!! Not want to be HERE¡¡¡ !!!HAAAAAAAAA¡¡¡!!! !!!TWILIGHTTTTTTT¡¡¡,!!! APPLEJAAAAAAACK¡¡¡,!!! RARITYYYYYYYY¡¡¡ , !!!FLUTTERSHYYYYYYY¡¡¡, !!!PINKY PAYYYYYY¡¡¡,!!! RAINBOW DAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA¡¡ !!!ENOUGH¡¡¡ !!!READY PLEASE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA¡¡¡ ¡¡¡NUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!.
All the cries of the little dragon were heard from Kilometers and Kilometers around, it was almost unimaginable that those screams came from the lungs of a small like the.
His wings were released, with his face full of earth from resisting the pain and his eyes red from crying, Spike looked ahead of him only finding darkness, the terror forced him to escape.
Leave me alone, please let me go home, with saliva, mucus and tears coming out of each of her orifices.
But the Swordsman's boot impeded his short advance scaring him even more.
!!!No¡¡¡ no, please "" his body was picked up by his captors behind him "" !do not do this to me¡, !do not do it to me¡.
The sound of the drawing of the sword froze his skin, the Swordsman approached him smiling maliciously and placed the blade against Spike's cheek causing his goosebumps to flare instantly.
You can scream if you want maybe someone heard, go ahead yell as much as you can, !Hooo¡ why that Face!.
He could not separate his eyes from the darkness of the forest, he did not want this, he did not want to be there, he was afraid to be there, in an unknown and terrifying place, he wanted to be sleeping peacefully in his bed and talking to Twilight, not to be terrified until her bones as her cheeks turned into two waterfalls of tears.
! Hooo¡ !you are not going to say anything! "" satisfaced "" typical useless beings like you, cowards until the end "" I look at his other companions "" neck.
The two gloved hands took his head and lifted it up, it was all over, his chest small breath of him shaking with terror and the pain of his back made him petrified.
The Swordsman's blade sickle would swing and everything would be black to him.
Black like the shadow that he saw passing between the trees, but this shadow was not a Black color, nor was it a shadow, it was a Brown Hooded robe, accompanied by the metallic sound of a knife.
A figure came down from the tail of the trees and fell sideways touching the Swordsman, except that he did not touch him but instead inserted the blade into the soldier's throat and accompanied by the inertia of the force of the fall both figures fell to the ground.
This surprised the two soldiers holding Spike, who due to the over jump fell back, both Swordsman and Agile tried to act instantly by attacking together but from the beginning it was too late.
From the figure's free hand, a handful of earth was thrown at the Swordsman's face, obstructing his vision and stopping in his tracks.
In a second he devoured the distance between him and the Agile, throwing themselves against his body, not to attack him, but to catch the knife in the Agile's hand, in profile he hit the Agile's chest with his shoulder, unbalancing his attacker, letting his wrist pass. In front of his chest, holding both his wrist with his right and his elbow with his left, in a single quick movement he brought Agil's own wrist up to his neck, with the blade crossing from side to side.
He instantly lowered his head, above her the sharp point of the spear passed over him.
The Lancer launched a second thrust but the figure turned towards his, catching his wrist and throwing a Crool at his jaw making him see stars.
Holding the captured wrist with both hands and turning on the axis of him twisting his limb, with one of his open hands he pushed the face of the Lanzero that collided with the trunk behind him.
The hooded man brought his head to his side where the sound of the other Agil's feet came from.
He held the halberd and turned towards the Agil intercepting it, the halberd impact against the Agil's jaw making him fall to the ground, he turned towards the Lanzero who was still trying to stand up, while turning the halberd until he had it on the sharp side.
!Wait no¡ ...!!!HUUUUUUGGGH¡¡¡.
The halberd pierced the Lancer breastplate and left it embedded in the trunk of the tree.
He brought one of his hands behind his back, as if he was holding something between the compartments that he carried on his belt. At the same time he turned towards the Swordsman behind him, again the sound of the gears in the wrist and the blade deflected the Sword destined to fall on the head of the Hooded Man.
Simultaneously, the hand on his back transformed into a hook that he connected to the Espadachin's jaw, the sound of something breaking inside the blow of the hooded man was heard and a mysterious gray smoke surrounded them both coming from inside the blow.
His hand caught the neck of the confused Swordsman and swapped places with it, where the Agile soldier's dagger fell on the Espadachin's face.
Altered by this and the smoke that reduced his visibility and the pain of his jaw broken by the halberd, the Agile soldier threw a thrust at the face of the figure that dodged by putting his head to one side.
He counterattack with a head butt to the nose, the agile one brought his hand to his septum and launched another attack that was stopped in its tracks by the figure's forearm, his wrist was hit and his face received a backhand with his free hand. of the figure.
His but was grabbed and drawn to the figure that forced him to pass by and slam against the tree trunk, The Agile fell collapsed and disarmed to the ground, the Agile who had hurt Spike's wings so excruciatingly was now crawling by. the ground upside down as the figure approached him, he tried to sound threatening but he only crawled with the hoarse voice product of his jaw and broken nose.
You have no idea who you're messing with "" the metallic sound of the blade came to his ears "" wait, let's not rush, L-Lord.
The figure grabbed his shoulder and turned him over.
Mr. Farell Jacob,"" exclaimed the Agile raising his hands.
When saying his name, the figure stopped when he saw this, soldier Agile smiled altered.
You are a business man we can reach an agreement, I have a bag of bits, you can...
But it wasn't like that, his bag of bits was snatched away and used to hit his jaw and knock out Agil with all the Bits on his face.
Spike's eyes and mouth were impressed, imbued with recklessness, as if he was trying to wake up from a dream, if what had happened was real if what he really saw was hope, he wanted to jump with happiness and hug the figure in a brown robe , but her body would not stop shaking, her face was ruined by tears, snot and dirt.
His color still hadn't come back without mentioning that he had peed on the chasm so all he could utter was what his ears had heard.
¿Mr. Jacob?.
The figure turned towards him, and even though he saw it as his Savior, he was still terrified and recoiled from the act, noticing the fearful attitude of the Dragon, the figure decided to make the most obvious act by taking off his hood.
Farell's face was revealed to the Dragon and his eyes were not deceiving him they were a man in his 30s and 40s with a shaved hairstyle on the sides and back of his head with long hair pulled back, and a beard. that began to come out of his cheeks and ended in a padlock, his tunic was an open brown leather raincoat that revealed a blue vest and a white t-shirt.
You must have many questions about what you mean, "" Farell speculated squatting "" so such an exchange "" takes one of his hands to the compartments on his waist and from there he takes out a triangular vial with a white liquid "" yes You take this bottle, I'm going to answer all the questions you want.
Despite knowing that man, he still feared that something horrible could happen to him, however the pain he felt did not let him think clearly, but he still did not dare to trust him, Farell, noticing this, decided to leave the posima on the ground and To bring her closer to him, carefully not to alarm him, Spike after a while decided to take that concoction that Farell offered him and just seconds later he felt the pain in his back completely vanish, it was as if suddenly a scar that he had on his body was opening completely closed without leaving marks. but this only came accompanied by an incredible dream to the young Dragon.
Spike's face was about to fall to the ground when Farell caught him in the fall, Spike could only see Farell's smiling face as his eyelids closed.
There is a roof waiting for you.
He clung to the pillow, Spike's eyes widened, astonished and immobile, it took him 10 seconds to understand what he had dreamed or rather to realize that he had dreamed.
I haven't had this dream for a long time.
He got up from the bed sitting on the mattress, covered his face with his hands, then rubbed his eyes full of mischief and finally yawned before standing up.
That day he would wear a simple outfit, a long black jeans and a gray long-sleeved shirt, accompanied by an overcoat, on his feet he wore boots-type slippers and finally a cap and a collar or a chinstrap that covered his face completely, after all to the place where he was about to go.
Spike walked down the hall from his bedroom and down the stairs to the living room, he planned to have breakfast.
No matter how big and adult he was, he did not lose his habit of having his breakfast with white milk and gems smearing them with the white liquid.
Spike looked out the windows as the door was open and the curtains were drawn from side to side on the outskirts he saw Yusuf With a family of newcomers.
New tenants seem to be coming in "eating a piece of gem".
Of course this residence that served to house people paid for rent was a facade, which hid the true office of Spike and Yusuf, his mind again fell on today's dream.
It is crazy to think about what happened after that incursion in Everfree, for 3 months Mr. Farell welcomed me into his home, not in the store, there we ran a lot of risk so, from one day to the next, he closed it without prior notice and we went to live in his country house in Appleloosa, he explained to me from scratch about his Creed and those they fought, I still do not believe that it is a secret conflict that has lasted for generations, without the princesses knowing.
Once Spike finished devouring a small sack of Gems he had to prepare his bag after all today was the day he would return to the place where it all began Ponyville.
Mr. Farell told me about the Assassins headquarters, hidden from anyone who will represent a danger, he told me about the one who trained his his adviser Mr. MacFlag, he prepared me as a dissipater and gave myself to the heart of the Cult to be trained as One, it is incredible to think that at that time I did not want to take revenge against them but against my old friends, some time later I said goodbye to Mr. Farell and until now I have never seen him again.
The headquarters sent me here but when I arrived at the residence we had several slip-ups between Yusuf and me, so I did not agree to train at the beginning but over time, I managed to say "" speak his heart "" and what I call his heart began. the worst decision of my life.
I never imagined that my lazy habit would lead me to have the worst 3 months of my entire life. The training covered 24 hours a day, which were distributed in physical training to improve my muscles and strength, parkour to improve my Agility and Aerodynamics plus a small plus that consisted of transforming my five fingers into hooks to reach any surface and do it. more familiar than I received. Reading books to improve my knowledge. Every day it was a different body pain, Back, Chest, Diaphragm, Abs, Biceps or Triceps, Thighs, Shoulders, Hips, Calves, Pectorals with time my body got used to it and became what I never imagined becoming.
When Spike's luggage was finished, he only needed to say goodbye to Yusuf Before leaving for the train station, he found the old man holding on his cane with the family who had gone to investigate the comfortable huts.
¿So you're leaving?.
Do you think you can take care of them alone, there are two small children with them,looking at how high it is now compared to when it arrived.
"" Yusuf smiled looking behind him "", I was in charge of this place alone before your intrepid arrival.
Teacher and students nodded, unceremoniously both hugged Ysuf with a little more discomfort.
Enough affection for a goodbye, "" taking Spike away with his cane "" but before you get out "" from his pocket I take out a letter that I give to Spike "" I arrived yesterday morning I decided to give you today, it's from a spy in Ponyville someone familiar to you.
Spike's eyes glowed brightly, but he tried to hide disinterest by taking the letter.
¿Is it from Farell?.
"" Yusuf denied with the head "" It belongs to another person and the content is related to the Elements of Harmony.
This left Spike stunned for seconds, but then he recovered as if he had never given up. saying goodbye to the pets of the residence Spike left the residence and arrived at night at the station in nothing more and nothing less than in Apleloosa.
The station had an old touch-up, the walls were unpainted showing the bricks that formed it together with the cement that would add them together with the masts distributed throughout the area that clung to the beams on the ceiling to support the place on foot, then After getting his ticket to Ponyville, Spike sat in one of the many seats that had to wait for the Train, the place was quite busy, some families with luggage, to travel somewhere in the country, or someone returning home, or going to work, they lived their daily lives, happy and in peace that was what Spike was going to defend in Ponyville Hope, Peace and Freedom from all those in Equestria, Spike only had to wait a few minutes until his metal carousel arrived following the signs. Vias, he prepared his luggage with which he was going to Travel and while he was walking inside the Train from his pocket he took out the letter that Yusuf gave him.
When the whistles sounded and the locomotive was put into operation, Spike opened the letter that Yusuf handed him and read its contents.
As I imagined, if I would have read this note 5 years ago, I would be regretting with joy knowing all this but now I cannot even feel sadness or anger for my former life companions.
After the death of the princesses, Twilight assumes the throne and gives shelter to all the subjects that she would be the best possible Queen after the horror suffered by her predecessors.
As such, during these 5 years Twilight strived to be the best ruler that ever existed and give bread to each subject under her veil, thanks to her great knowledge that even surpassed the average geniuses, Twilight achieved that the economy of Equestria was brutally favored, built new ties with the towns around Equestria with either Diamond Dogs, Griffins, Yaks, Hippogriffs and SeaPonys, the Kiriny Centouros and even achieved a peace treaty with the Cherlingerts, not even during the reign of Celestia Ponyville. Was better, except for the unfair treatment of the Dragons.
Of course the time that Twilight dedicated to her activities as a princess was insane and this began to ruin her friendship with the other elements, but when she refused to exercise an alliance with the dragons, this was broken, Fluttershy who fervently believed in giving them another chance. It was the first to oppose the new Anti-dragon Groups that arose in the same way. "" The 5 soldiers who ruined Spike's wings were members of that group, I clarify that they are not with those who control everything in the shadows ""
Then this slip between the two ended up separating her friends in a great way and only brought misfortunes to each one. She soon returned to Ponyville to try to get a better income, On the other hand Rarity suffered such a great artistic shock that she lost her position as best dressmaker and her touch in fashion, Rainbow Dash never managed to enroll in the Wonderbolts and still continues trying and failing in each tried.
At the end of this reading Spike leaned against the backrest next to him there was a someone who did not seem surprised or terrified but casual, apparently the cap and chinstrap worked better with a hood.
Now that I know this there is no doubt that everything that happened with the Princesses and with me was his plan, to have Twilight in his clutches and force her without her knowing it to do her dirty tricks, I have to stop the Templars ... I have than to stop the Hooded Man.
When he finished reading the letter, Spike made it a bun and threw it out the window, as I imagine this did not affect his regret in the least, not because he will no longer value his friends but because he had to leave them behind just like his Old life, his mission now was to stop those who controlled everything with threads from the shadows, Spike looked out the window at the terrain, letting the inner purr of the metallic Mastodon sleep him.
