Honor & Integrity

Neon Blitz endured great pain and suffering, for some reason King Tungsten had ordered for her abuse yet. She lay hungry, cold, and I'll on a dungeon cell floor. A guard came in and began to flog her with a rod of cedar roughly half an inch in diameter and hurled insult of the most degrading sort. Neon Blitz heard that her city had been utterly wiped out by poison or by the sword.

It had been about two years now, and she hadn't broken. "Well, well, well my little pony, you hadn't broken yet; not really surprised. Tell me Neon, doesn't living in a mansion on a hilltop with servants, a soft bed, good food, and rank along with gear wealth not appeal to you? Think about it, no more pain and suffering."

"My lord, I gave my oath! My family would be ashamed of I broke."

"Your family is dead! I had my son bury them himself! Your princesses don't care about! If they did they'd saved you by now!" Tungsten pierced her barrel with a talon and spat on her.

"I do give a fuck! You are holding back! I said do your worst!"

"It pains me that you are going through this just to see how far you'd go before breaking! Neon Blitz, I am holding back because your integrity and honor excelled every other pony prisoner we've had. We almost killed you a few months ago and that risk I don't want to take."

Neon began to sob, nothing in her would break her loyalty. "Just kill me then, I got no home to go to or family to see again." Neon heard orders were being given them she passed out as the cedar rod slammed into her head after it cracked a rib and slammed her face. When she awoke she was in a soft bed and Graphite stood by her bed watching her.

"We almost lost you again. At this very moment our surrender to your princesses is being discussed and we are using you as a bargaining chip. We're banking on your loyalty and if you'd be willing to lay on your word of honor that we did nothing to hurt you save what you told us to do; and that the records of our methods of breaking you are true then will your princesses be willing to not make us tributaries."

"You have my word" once Neon signed the records of her torture were true then the peace talks became more promising and Neon couldn't forget how she lost everything because her captain being a traitor.
