Previous ChapterNext Chapter

You had arrived home, that fateful night. The door had apparently been smashed in. Fearing the worse, you readied your sword, and charged in. You found nopony in the house, only furniture toppled to the ground, and a note, pinned to the wall with a dagger. You began to read it.

Blade Song, by the time you've read this, your wife and children have been taken.
By order of Govenor Alabaster Stone, your wife and children have been aressted on the crime
of breaking the Canterlot Concordat. By refusing to bow to Govenor Stone, marrying a Pegasus,and forgetting her place, they have been taken to the Town Square, to pay the price for her actions. If you wish, you may watch her execution, its tonight, 12:00, sharp. Have a nice night.

Sincerly,

Captain River Storm.

Glancing at the clock, you notic the time to be 11:41. Believing you might stop this, rush towards the ton square, as fast as your wings can take you. Your wife was a beautiful Unicorn, Golden Light, ith the most beautiful of alabaster coats, a sweet-smelling golden blonde mane and tail, and the most beautiful eyes, amber. Your son and daughter, both 7, were a mix of you and your wife. Golden had been the daughter of a minor official, which granted her privaliages, and of a baroness. Quickly, you make it to the town square, where a crowd of ponies, some looking fearfully, some looking excited, as your wife and children are at the gallows. Govenor Stone is there. Multiple armed guards are station around the plaza. "Any last words, blood traitors?" Stone says. sneering at your wife. "Yes, just this! Before you Aldmare came, 77 years ago, true peace reigned in Equestrimil! You ruined the race of Unicorns! Everypony was equal then!" Seeing you, your wife shouts "Blade! Help! Blade" You rush towards her, but as you near the gallows, you hear Stone cry out "Sieze him!" as you feel the strong arms an hooves of two Aldmare soldiers grasp your arms, restraing you. "Goodbye, Golden Light! Welcome to Tar-ta-rus!" Stone shouts, pulling the lever. Just before the trapdoors fall, you hear your wife and children shout "I love you Blade/Daddy!" as they plummet, and then fall silent. Rage builds in you as Stone smiles coldly at you, his eyes glinting with triumph. "You'll pay Stone! You heartless worm! You'll pay for this!" You scream in rage, drawing your blade cutting down the guards holding you, as Stone teleports aay, after sending out battlions of soldiers at you, all weilding wither magic, crossbos, or claymores, all heading towards you.

Mangaging to knock back down one pony with a legsweep, you grab his spear. Flinging it into the face of one of the other guardsponies, you are able to stab two others, losing your sword in one. As more come, you smash through two, flying into the wind, and away, tears and blood stinging your eyes and covering your coat.

You left Marerun, left the province of Shyrim all together, heading towards Equestria, the capital of Equestrimil.

That had been over 2 years ago, and your heart still stung, even as you headed toards the town of Ponyville, to begin your new life..................
