Right... I needed to find a ring for that old mare... just wait for me, ghosty house, Im coming.
The right definition for the word "coming" was far better than my real one, as I was still laying on the bed. Frost was out somewhere, as well as Sunflower. She even wasnt home for several days already. The last time I have seen her, she took the dragon-slayer rifle and saying nothing, she went away. I didnt follow her, didn`t ask questions. I was too afraid that I, being fucked up at that time, could spoil everything for my beloved daughter.
The cold realization of something in her eyes, the same azure eyes her father was always watching the wasteland with. What she has seen there? What was her way of thinking? I would not ask that as she didn`t seem to be wanting to talk, instead, I will wait until she gets back home happy, when she speaks to me first.

I spent several hours in that house mare pointed at, looking for her ring, going in circles over and over again. I got so pissed off by this.
The entire house started to glow with my white magic. What I was going to do? Torn it apart? No, unlikely I can do that. All I was able to do is to get headaches from even thinking of the possibility of that. However feeling the entire house with my magic has made me understand that there are a lot more places to look at, but I will not want to do so today.
I went through the city fast and dropped my corpse on the bed.
I had pain in my head so I was not able to sleep that easily. And where the hell Frost is? Stayed at night with his new friend-lover? So nice of me to help them meet. No, I don`t think my spouse is gay, most likely no, just to think how he was grinning walking within the group of cool mares... I would kill to get that look of him back at me.
It would not be that bad if I just had some more dash inhalators. I went to the kitchen and looked under the table. There was one, full of liquid joy. I stepped to my knees and spent no more moments before taking a deep breath, kissing the inhalator.
Immediately I felt so powerful I could go around the city and dance. Instead, I went to the meat shops to look for something nice to eat.
"Hey, sis is that true that a dead pony can bite your leg when you walking here?" a young colt asked a filly of the same age.
"Father told me about ghosts moaning in this part of the town, but I think this is some kind of bullshit"
Did I believe in ghosts? I, honestly, was much more afraid of alive ponies who could find you all alone at night... the best thing which could happen to you will cause some of your ghosts to moan though.
I stepped in. "Listen, little fellas, the ghosts are here! Its all true! A long time ago this place was.. well it is still a grave actually, you cant imagine how horrible those dead monsters which rest down there. I was stupid enough to walk by this a month ago. At night. The thing I saw will always follow me in nightmares. The mare, all alone on the street was walking home. Nopony was around to see her, no pony was able to help. When I heard her painful scream it was already too late!" As I kept talking a colt took his sister in hugs with horror in his eyes.
Nopony else was around us so I moved forward. "When I ran to see whats going on.. I saw the ground covered with her flesh and blood, and her bones started to drow into the dirt, like something was forcing it inside until the bones, and all that remained disappeared as if nothing happened. But thats not the end. When I turned around to run back home, I saw... that right in front of me... was standing... a headless horse!!!
The two of them turned around in horror just to see the surprised old stallion.
"Hey, I know I look bad, but how dare you look at me like this, childrens! Go away before I tell your parents that you annoying me!
I pretended to never be talking and galloped to the nearest shop. Honestly, I got afraid of my own story, after all, ghosts do exist. Will they punish me for my disrespect? The pit of dead stable dwellers was a real thing after all.
Gold coins flashed at the table, a large rabbit appeared in my bag and I went home.

I was surprised to find Sunflower home.. but what is this in the name of...
She was wearing a pipbuck! The thought of the vision I just saw made me feel like a splash of cold water went over my back.
I touched my leg where my pipbuck was long ago. I even couldn`t remember the reason why I stopped wearing it and sold it.
"Whats wrong, mom?"
"Nothing, I`m just glad you are back"
"What is that in your backpack? Meat? Give it to me! Or rather use your magic and cook it already"
"Oh yeah. Give me a moment"
I am a wizard, but each pony has a few tricks, right? I flew a rabbit out of my bag and started to boil it from inside with sparks of fire. Just a few minutes and it was ready. It smelled good and also the taste! I get a torso while Sunflower asked for all the legs.
"Is daddy home yet?" I closed my eyes. She cant see that I did anyway. "Nah, I dont care. In this case, more meat will be for us"
"I guess father can take care of himself, at least he may be got some reward from that trip" I paused. "You wanna go out with me for tonight?"
"No, mom, Ive got things to do tomorrow, Im going to sleep! And dont try to get me back to work on the farm, it was nice but Im done with it, since we have lots of food anyway"
She was sixteen, cool and independent, I couldn`t judge anything she said.
"Alright, no worries"

I finished my rabbit and went outside. The wasteland never was so green. The wind blew my main, touching my head like a loving parent. I liked this feeling. I guess even without raping and killing the day could be wonderful.
Note: Next level!
Gardens of Equestria affection: War does change a lot of things, for example, we can start to enjoy just being alive, handle and love ponies who are close to us with unfaked feelings. With no unnecessary words, it could be called: a Harmony
