A bit of Dubstep would go good with this background.

Actual Story

Hunter jumped carefully across the rooftops of the Equine city, knowing that the lives of the unaware citizens sleep beneath him. The moon's light shined upon the tiled roofs and lit the path back towards the forest, the deep blue tint of the night matched the chilled midnight winds. As Anthro leapt from one building across the street to the next, he spoke beneath his breath, "Pinn, I swear on my life that you'll regret this."

Eventually, Hunter had made it to the outskirts of the city, narrowly dodging the sight of some passers-by. He kept to the shadows and moved just as quietly, holding his breath until he was out of earshot. Once the small group of wandering equines had passed around a street corner, Hunter turned to the forest behind him and began to run. The large forest casted deeper shadows and made it only harder for him to see, the branches delivering small scratches across his body. The image of his caretaker's face when he relieved her of her paralysis was still fresh in his memory, the look of pure bewilderment. In her eyes, he probably seemed like a witch-doctor, able to cure with a magic touch, and it might as well have been given the type of paralysis she suffered.

He quickly reached a clearing in the woods, not too far from where the prince's cottage was. The small open area was brightly lit by the moon, with no rocks or bushes, just a bed of long uncut grass and flowers. Hunter stood there, taking deep breaths as he tried to regain his stamina, as nimble as he was, moving as swiftly as that was a rarity for him let alone in such an open space. He remembered his training where he was seen as the most agile of his peers, able to dodge attacks and traverse an obstacle course like water around a rock. Yet he never had a field operation go for as long as this, and he was never prepared for what he had gotten himself into.

Suddenly, a deep and familiar voice was heard behind him, "Well if it isn't the Canterlot Devil."

Hunter spun around on his heels, whipping his head towards the direction of the noise to see the Draquonequs known as Discord floating casually above the grass. Hunter narrowed his eyes as he growled, "What do you want?"

Discord, somewhat put off by his friend's rudeness, raised his paws as he mockingly apologized, "Sorry to anger you, don't want you breaking my neck." Discord gave the angered Hunter a grin, as if to taunt him and edge him further.

He paused, looking into the yellow and red eyes of the creature before turning around as he mumbled, "If this is about what happened this evening don't"

"What happened this evening was more than a travesty," Discord interrupted Hunter's thoughts and shot him a stern look as he circled around him, "it was a sign that I need to denounce my position as the master of Chaos." Hunter continued to avoid eye contact, which only made Discord continue to get in his face, "While I have to consciously chose to bring forth Chaos, you can't help but cause it wherever you go. You ruined a good friendship you had for as long as you can remember, you are now a wanted fugitive, and you took away your caretaker's mobility."

Hunter began to clench his fists as he growled through gritted teeth, "Stop it."

"She'll never be able to feel the grass beneath her hooves,"

"Stop it, I'm warning you." Hunter turned around to face his adversary, looking him dead in the eyes as he approached him.

"She can never live the life she wanted, all because you were so selfish."

Hunter had enough of Discord's antagonizing, leaping with his arms wide open to grasp around Discord's neck as they connected. Letting out the sound of teeth grinding in pure anger, Hunter wrapped his arm around the neck of the Draquonequs and began to squeeze his hardest.

As he chocked Discord, he watched as he squirmed and gasped for air and cackled, "See what I mean?"

There was a pause, a moment of silence where Hunter's grip around Discord's throat was almost at its tightest, he realized that the creature hadn't used its abilities to escape him. He simply remained in his grip as though he wanted to be choked. Hunter quickly released Discord's throat and dropped him to the ground to which he began to violently couch and gag, the poor emotionally-struck boy collapsed onto the ground as well and began to cry to himself.

It wasn't long before Discord was back up again and pacing around Hunter as he spoke, "I know you're not in the best state, but its time to realize that the choice you made to stay was the wrong one. You chose to be selfish, lying to yourself with the thought that you'd please a few others as well and call it the greater good." Discord kneeled down to get close to Hunter's face, "You had a family back home, you had a place there where you were probably welcomed, maybe even needed. Here, however, you're nothing more than a trophy in the prince's cabinet and a threat to the safety of everyone else involved."

Hunter got to his feet, his knees shaking from the adrenaline passing through him, he whimpered as he wiped the tears away, "You don't know that, they care for me."

"A dog would say the same thing until it's put up for adoption because it isn't wanted anymore. Face it, things are only going to get worse if you stay here, the attacks will become more frequent until either you or the entire world of Equestria burns to the ground."

Before Hunter could object, Discord raised his claw to stop him, "I know what you are all capable of. One way or another, you're going to blow your cover to the entire world, and they will all see the true monstrosity that is written between the lines. My best tip is to sacrifice yourself now, give up what you love for the safety of all those involved and we will make best with what we still have before it is all taken away."

Hunter looked towards the moon as it slowly began to touch the peak of the mountains in the distance, "You pretend as though you've witnessed it before."

Discord promptly replied in a somber voice, "And you pretend as though you haven't."

A long, painfully quiet pause ensued, they both stood before each other, Discord had his hand pointed towards the moon as he said, "If you are the real hero, you will return now and forever hold my respect."

Hunter shook his head, "I know it is the wrong choice, but I have faith in my kind as well as the inhabitants of this world that the right choice will be made. I will fix what I have started, and be gone forever."

"You must lie to them," Discord began, "for you are already knowingly cursing us all, at least keep those around you unaware of their impending doom." With nothing more to say, Discord began to flap his wings and flew away into the distance, leaving Anthro alone once more in the middle of the clearing. The sun had begun to rise, and he could feel the warmth slightly burn his skin after being kept in the cold.
