The Alicorn Theory: The Treachery

"Calm down Midnight!"
Ruby was holding me in her hooves, but I pushed her back. I still remember that she is the one that ordered that I would be chained up and knocked down. But I was free now. I looked at her.
"We don't understand, we tried everything to wake you..."
I couldn't tell her that I was with the Spirit of Pain...
"Why did you chained me up for the first place?"
She swallowed then went suspicious...
"How do you know that it was me?"
Dammit, I remembered that it's Amber that told me that. The door behind us slammed open. Eclipse came inside. He looked at me, I saw in his eyes that something bad happened, he turned his look at Ruby.
"Mylady, few hundreds of soldiers are back... The general didn't..."
There was a cold silence in the room. I looked at Ruby. She looked sad but wasn't crying, she knew that he had a 50% chance to come back and she was prepared for this announcement.
I stood up and looked at Eclipse.
"What's the direction of Unico's wall?"
Ruby grabbed me. I didn't looked at her.
"No! Don't go please! With my uncle gone, you are the only I have remaining. I don't want to lose you too..."
I could feel her tear falling down my neck that she was holding tightly, her head lying on mine. But I was still angry at her for forcing me to stay. Eclipse looked sad but with the look on my face, he felt forced to tell me.
"Head north, follow the trail... it'll bring you to Unico's wall."
I looked at Ruby and removed her hooves from my body. Her face was in tears.
"Don't worry, I'll be back."
Without hesitating, I jumped out of the window and flew towards the north. My wing wasn't fully healed but I fought the pain. I was going fast enough to reach the wall in about ten minutes. I landed on the red grass... I thought that it was going to be hard to find him. The decor was alwys familiar, corpses everywhere around me. I won't enter in details because some things were very gross.
I walked for about twenty minutes in the dead flesh. In the corpses of my brothers and my friends.
Then I heard a laugh. A weak one. I turned around to see him. Lying there.
"You came just for me Midnight? How flattering!"
"Corr..."
I took a sword from the ground.

He was smiling.
"Oh! You are going to kill me? Avenging someone? Your father maybe? You know that I killed him? I am sure that during his last moments he was thinking about you, how much of a failure that you are." I was getting closer "You know I killed hundreds of Unicorns! I saw each one of them falling into darkness." I took a momentum. " Even some pegasi during the melee. I just didn't lke their faces." Rage was surrounding me. I didn't waited a second longer, I hit with all my strenght. All we could hear was the piercing of an armor echoing as a big bang.
Corr's eyes were closed. I catched my breath.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw the sword inside the armor of the body behind him, close of his face.
"I should kill you, but I can't."
I knew he couldn't move so I grabbed him and put him on my back. I started walking further north.
"What... What are you doing?"
He looked confused.
"I won't let another pony die because of this war, not even you Corr. I am bringing you home."
"You know if you save me, I will kill again."
I sighed.
"I know, but it doesn't mean that I can't show you a bit of compassion."
He started laughing.
"They still see you as a traitor in Pegasia. If you go back there, they'll kill you."
I thought for a moment, this act will probably kill me... I looked back at Corr.

"I'd rather die as a traitor than live the life of a killer."

He stayed silent for the rest of the walk.
When we were close enought of Pegasia. I let him fall on the ground, he chuckled, then I grabbed him with my hooves and started flying towards the sky. I could see Pegasia at the distance, it was higher than ever, some sort of defense position.
I took a deep breath. It wasn't long before I was at the edge of the city. Guards at the distance shouted:
"GET OUT OF HERE MIDNIGHT! YOU ARE NOT WELCOME!!"
I dropped Corr on the cloud under my hooves. I could hear them.
"Oh my goodness, it's the general! He is safe!"
I turned around and walked to the edge of the city. Two guards came and grabbed him. I looked at him getting carried back in the capital. I closed my eyes and concentrated to hear them asking him.
"What are your orders sir?"

"Kill him."
Without hesitating I opened my wings to fly.
Too late.
An arrow pierced my back.
Another.
Then another.
And Another.
My body couldn't answer.
My mind was lost. My vision went dark. I could just say...
"Corr..."
I felt my balance quit my life. I tipped off the cloud and I fell in the void.
