the struggle

Shining armor was awoken to an unpleasant surprise as he gazed above his bedside window to find a cheerful but yet to shining's eyes very bad news. He heard the sinister mumbles of the villagers chant.”shining must die” Repeated like a jumpy record. He bolted out of his slumber towards his royal guards suit and dashingly placed on. His fear became ever so more greater as he drew closer to the door. The island he called ponyville had hidden a dark secret behind the curtains. His options were become fewer for every second he wasted considering as the villagers drew ever so more closer to the police station where he took up residence, should he face them or should he run? He made his decision and ran out the back door avoiding contact with them at all costs.

He cried."I fucking hate this place!"

“why did I ever want to come here”

The dark countryside of the island provided a cloak of which shining could use to his advantage.

Although the glow of the villagers torches silhouetted his presence. As he drew nearer to the port he suddenly came towards his present enemy, light. His stealth was going to be impossible to keep up as the port was alive with brightness, he became more hasty of his movements while keeping a fast pace to avoid capture.

The port although thriving as a community, there was very little activity in the form of nautical manor was actually carried out. This only posed problems for shining, he knew his time was short to escape and he wasn't considering reasoning with the other ponies. His vision of the close future  was very grim and short. This only drove him more to escape. He luckily made it into the center of the port without being spotted. His last obstacle was the pontoon which lead to the lighthouse, the only problem was that it was overly saturated by light, As if they knew his presence there was likely. His only option was to swim for it. He crashed into the icy water, causing  a stunt in his effort to swim. He finally made it to the lighthouse dragging his ice numbed body like a corpse of a keelhauled sailor.

He stood outside the life-house situated at the end of a narrow pontoon while he tried to regain his strength. He attempted to calm himself down before he entered.

he asked the coast guard who was turned away from him at the time.

"could you send for a dingy please" said Shining Armour in a calm manner.

"come again?" questioned the coast guard.

"Could you send for a boat, a dingy, a fucking cruise ship would be nice, I DON'T REALLY CARE JUST GET ME OFF THIS FUCKING ISLAND" replied Shining Armour as his voice became more aggressive.

"now why would you want to do that Shining....There's a good harvest from the apple family ranch coming very soon, you are a valuable resource to us island ponies" said the coast guard in a eerie voice.

The colt turned round to face Shining. He gave him a wicked stare as he spotted Shining’s sweaty,tense,nervous face. The coastguards face was covered in different colors to symbolize his religious rank.

"The lord summer pony would be much displeased if our guest of honor were not to stay for the harvest, after all you are a great resource to us islanders" He continued as Shining backed slowly towards the door.

Shining tried to unlock the door gently and quietly to not alert the colt behind the counter of his  imminent escape. He dashed out the door only to be stopped by... Twilight his sister. Her Unicorn horn started to glow a ruby like light as Shining, dazed as he is to see her again, he slowly became unconscious from his sisters spell. The lord summer pony arrived to see if the e was caught, she became more and more pleased as she came closer to Shining’s unconscious form. Her pale white alicorn body glowed in the night, as if she was a fallen star living in equestria. she gazed upon twilight sparkle as she waited for her to be appraised.

"Have I done good, as your faithful student...Princess?" Questioned Twilight.

"My faithful student you have done well, but until the ceremony of harvest is over,refer to me as Lord summer pony" demanded princess Celestia.
