“Yeah, during training he tried to kill me. Even after I said I wouldn't fight him” I said seeing rarity staring at me. “Is that true?” twilight asked turning to shining armor. He nodded his head as pain came from the shaking. “You bastard” twilight mumbled before punching shining in the chest.

As her hoof made contact the sound of ribs breaking could be heard as shining whimpered; tears running down his cheek.

“Darling, please stop it! He is hurt bad enough as it is” rarity said jumping in front of twilight. “I’m sorry” twilight said falling to her hunches. I walked up to twilight and said “I’m the one how should be sorry. There was no right for me to do something like that.” She got up saying nothing, only to hug me tightly. Celestia walked behind her placing a hoof on her shoulder.

She released me whipping her eyes. “Now before any more excitement happens let’s get down to business” celestia said. “Since shining armor is in his aperient state, we will need you, troy, not to only to lead us to victory but also to battle” she said boldly. “Yeah, but you still haven’t told me how I’m supposed to be any help” I said getting aggravated.

She handed me a small box and said “use this when you have finished the queen.” A guard walked in the room saying “we will be ready for battle first thing tomorrow, your majesty.” Celestia nodded and left the room with the guard. I felt a tap on my shoulder, “um… excuse me, cloud chaser.” I turned to see fluttershy “sorry to bother you, but here.”

She groped my hoof, placing an object in my palm. She let go revealing a dog tag. The letters engraved was, Dr. Healer S. Shy, born May 28, 1972. “Why are you giving me this?” I asked turning back to her. “It’s my father’s. He gave it to me when he left to sattlearabea when I was a little foal, but he never came back. I don’t need it anymore I have a new one” She said rubbing her underbelly.

I wrap the chains around my neck and said “thank you. I’ll take good care of it.” Rainbow dash taped her on the shoulder and nodded to the others leaving the room. They left as I stepped towards shining. “If I die in battle, I want you to have this to remember me by” I said placing his blood stained horn. He sighed deeply saying “you are such a dick.”

Chuckling I walked out the door. I traveled through hallway to my room. I entered closing the door behind me. I crawled in the bed laying my head on the pillow and drifted off to my dream land. Morning came and I heard banging coming from the door.

I answered to see a gourd holding a bag of supplies. “You’re late. Follow me!” he ordered shoving the bag into my forearms. He directed me to a round steel door. He opened it and said “go down this tunnel to meet up with the others.” I walked in through the door way see the tunnel was dim from the light of lanterns hanging from the ceiling.

As I got deeper the tunnel became darker and colder. I could barely see before a light appeared. All I could do was walk to it. I got closer until I was outside; my eyes burned from the suns light. I looked around to see I was in a camp site, but there was nopony here.

I scavenged the camp to see what might have happened. After six minutes of looking I heard noises coming from the bushes. I peeked over to see a wounded creature; it had wings, a horn, and its coat was black and hard. As I stared something hit the back of my head; knocking me out cold. In my state I could hear somepony talk.

“What do we do now?” the pony asked. “We take him to the queen. See what she wants to do” another pony answered grabbing my back legs. They dragged me for twenty-two minutes before I woke up. Still thinking I’m knocked out, I flew up to the sky shaking them off. It was too little help; ponies had wings like my own, but there’s were like flies and had holes.

Before they could realize what had happened I flew to them, grabbed their heads, and slammed them together. Only howls of pain could be heard as they crashed into the ground. I glided to them and saw that they had fangs, holes in their legs, and bright blue eyes. “These must be two of the changelings the princesses were talking about” I thought walking the direction they were taking me “this could lead to their fortress.”

Ten minutes passed until I saw a small, sad, looking town. I entered noticing absences of life. “Where the hell is everypony?” I thought seeing doors hanging from their hinges, broken windows, and furniture scattered around the yards. I heard hoof steps around the corner. Not wanting to be caught by another changeling, I ran into a nearby abandon home.

I crouched down under a window to see four changelings walking down the street scanning the area. One of them sniffed the air letting out a slight growl. Another turned to him saying something before they left for the next street. I sat next to the window, closed my eyes, and sighed in relief. I opened my lids to see a family of ponies staring at me.

They looked scared; they shivered in fear while holding each other. “Wha- what do you want from us?” the mother asked. “Can I ask you a question?” I said standing up away from the window. “Yes” the daughter said letting go of her brother. “Do you know where the changeling fortress is?” I asked seeing their eyes widen and their pupils shrink.

“Why do you want to know?” the father said trying to stay in a safe distance. “The princess sent me to end this war” I said. “The princesses? I thought she had given up on us” he said walking up to me. “Apparently not” I said. The mother told me that the way to the fortress is through the dark forest, past the hydras cave, and over the cavern of hell. “And thought lord of the rings had weird location names” I mumbled.
