Scourging of Equestria

Alright so I've been basically looking through these books for around 2 hours. Nothing, yep nothing at all. These books didn't help me at all! Oh well. I can't blame Twilight, after all she was only trying to help me. Got to be nice to her for her efforts. Well actually now that I think about it... hmm... Wait, whats this? I spread my fingers apart, keeping the page as still as possible. "Due to the recent events of Mayor Bucklewarns of Fillydelphias death, a new candidate has been chosen. Former military general, Mr. Rudee of the Red Cross has taken upon the position of Mayor and Governor of Fillydelphia. He vows to keep the people save from all kinds of harm, and promises freedom among st the ponies." Something is off about him. The red cross? Why is that so familiar?

"Having trouble understanding something Isan?" I'll just ignore what she might have meant by that.

"Yeah.. Do you know anything about the Red Cross? Or Mr. Rudee for that matter?" Her eyes went small, stopping dead in her tracks. "Twilight? You alright?"

"Uh..Y-yeah I'm fine, I just can't believe your asking me that. Then again your new to this whole place aren't you. I'll give you all I know." We both took a seat, and she a took a long breath before starting again. "The Red Cross goes a long time back in our history. Of Equestria of course. You see, before the princesses had absolute control over Equestria, a organization known as the Red Cross owned Equestria. They were horrible tyrants, who would do awful things to their own ponies. Things like public executions and.... and..." Tears started forming in the corners of her eyes. "It's alright Twilight, you don't have to tell me anymore if it's that bad." She sniffled, wiping her tears. "No it's alright, you deserve to know. Eventually a war broke out between the Alicorns and the Red Cross. According to the books the war lasted for a couple hundred years ending in the Red Crosses defeat. The casualties of the war is something you can view to date. That's why theres no more Alicorns. Both the war with Discord, and the Red Cross completely annihilated the Alicorn race."

That was a lot to take in. I just learned a few hundred of years of history in a few seconds. BRAIN OVERLOAD! Still though, if this is all true.. "If what your telling me is true, which I totally don't doubt it is. Then Mr. Rudee is a descendant of this organization. Has he done anything suspicious lately?"

"It's funny you ask, Isan. In fact his just recently declined all support and troop withdraws from Celestia. It seems he's trying to rebel against Celestia." She was shaking, clearly scared.

"Twilight whats wrong?"

"I'm just afraid of another war. I don't want that to happen at all.." She looks so adorable when shes scared, I could just squeeze the life out of her with a hug. You know what, I'll just do that.

I walked straight up to her, and gave her the biggest hug I've ever given any pony. Thinking back, have I ever given any pony a hug before? "Isa-.."

"Don't worry Twilight, that's why I'm here. I promised Celestia, and I promise you I'll find the root of this corruption and tear it straight out. I'll do whatever it takes to make sure there is no war, this I promise." I squeezed a little harder before letting go. I had all the information I needed.

"Okay..I trust you. Be careful you hear? I don't want any of my friends getting hurt."

She trusts me. I want her to, but she can't trust someone like me. What am I doing getting attached to these animals? I just need to get the job done, then I'm out of here. Speaking of which I need to find a way home, if there is a way. With those thoughts out of the way, I recieved all my weapons from her, and was on my way. She insisted that I go and meet her friends, but I'm preventing a war here; or so I think. I simply don't have time for friendly greetings.

"I promise, thank you Twilight for all the help you have given me. I will return one day." I bowed like a true gentlemen, before setting off into the woods once more. Her giggle was the last thing I heard before stepping into the shadow of the dark forest.

Switching to 3rd for a while. Get used to this switching.

The dark, tall creature clothed in black robes, with silver armor walked in a slow, yet effective pace through the forest. His hood devouring all sight of his face. Occasionally he heard small, faint whimpers around him, obviously animals but ignored them. He had encountered some creatures during his journey, but they never attacked him. They simply stood in a defensive position and stared. They would growl, and gnash their teeth to get even the slightest reaction out of the figure, but nothing occurred. The beasts of this land were far too used to everything being afraid of them, so this was a sight to see.

"I wish I could have been given a horse," he chuckled to himself. "Oh that's right."

The figure never stopped once for a break. He had to admit he was tired, and rest would be swell at the moment. Eventually his legs gave up. He fell to his knees, crawling over to the nearest tree to lean against it. He sat there for a few minutes before he finally gave up to sleeps embrace.

I opened my eyes and found myself leaning on a tree. I must have fallen asleep, not good. I wonder what I dreamed about? I can't remember, oh well. I pulled myself up on my feet and looked around. Shit. It was so dark, I must have been asleep for more than a couple hours. "At the midpoint of the journey of life, I found myself in a dark forest, for the clear path was lost." I whispered to myself, remembering that famous piece of work. The world grew darker around me, as I felt some strange sensation like someone or something was calling out to me. I can't explain the feeling, it's just too weird. I found myself walking in the pitch black heading who knows where.

Let me see it. Let me see the Light... A voice rang around me.

It wasn't threatening though, it was somewhat comforting. I felt as if someone was controlling me as I found myself reaching into my back pocket to reveal the Apple. As I removed it, light started pouring from inside the cracks of the device. It shunned brightly nearly blinding me from seeing it. I closed my eyes to remove the light from hurting anymore, but when I opened them the Apple was gone. I started to panic, looking around me, seeing as if I dropped it; seems not. What is happening? Where did it go?

Follow me... That same voice rang through my ears, who is that?

I turned around to see a bright light in the distance. It moved around, as if dancing. I threw away my confusion, running toward the light. It kept talking to me as I ran closer. I remember this place...It's been too long. The voice spoke, echoing around me.

"Show yourself!" I yelled. The voice ignored me, this time shining all it's light in my face. I fell to the floor, covering my eyes from the sheer brightness of the light.

So much to learn, so little time.

"What?! Where is the Apple? Give it back to me!"

You have your own destiny to fulfill.

"What do you mean? My destiny? What is my destiny? Where is the Apple?"

Your destiny is but your own. As for the artifact, you must return it.

"Return it? What do you mean?"

You are not the one to wield this power, you must return it to the city ahead. Find the burial of the first of your kind, only then will your answers be revealed.

"The burial..? You mean I'm not the first?"

I bid you farewell Human. Good luck. The fate of the artifact..No. The world is in your hands.

"Wait...Please, wait!" It was too late, the light vanished, darkness covering my vision.

Authors note: Due to me constantly forgetting, I finally wrote out the entire plot of the story. Now I have something to write off. See you guys next time ^_^
