Peace and Death

Fortunately no one was killed when the wraith attacked. The guards were bruised here and there ,but it was nothing serious since they already were putting of the fires. As I followed the mares I pondered what that light show a few minutes ago was all about.

A rainbow that turns your opponent into stone... I glanced at the statue and snorted. That must be the most humiliating way of losing to someone. I think that he would actually prefer to be destroyed rather than being a lawn ornament for the rest of eternity I chuckled, earning odd looks from the mares.

"Are you sure you don't want me to destroy that statue?" I decided to break the silence."For the greater good of course" I smiled.

"Thats for Princess Celestia to decide" The purple mare responded.

"Princess Celestia..." I deadpanned and the mare nodded. Silence once again followed us while we made our way towards our destination .

Ponyville

Library

"Is that a house carved in a tree?" I asked without any emotion. Must.Resist.Urge.To.Burn!

"Thats correct Mister Tom. This is were Twilight lives" Fluttershy trotted beside me.

"Judging by her mark, her full name is Twilight Sparkle I presume?" Fluttershy looked up at me in surprise.

"How did you guess?"  Its so obvious...

"Luck" I patted her head and followed the mares inside.

The interior was by pony standards quite interesting to say the least. The walls were full of books of different kinds. She lives in a library? I thought while glancing at the books, my head almost hitting the ceiling.

"Now then" The purple mare motioned the others to sit while she closed the door with her magic." We need to talk "Tom"" She narrowed her eyes at me.

"Do go on Miss Sparkle" I levitated a little closer to her as she sat down, leaving me surrounded by six mares.

"At yesterday night, three little fillies came screaming from the forest" My damnation...  " They said that a large creature in a coffin had threatened them and chased them." She turned towards the orange colored mare who nodded her head.

"At first ah didn't believe Applebloom, but when ah saw you" She gestured at me." Ah couldn't help, but to think that she was telling the truth" Time to defuse the situation before this escalates

"Now.Now. You must be confusing me with someone else" I kept smiling, but then the white mare stepped in.

"Then pray tell why would my sweet little sister lie to me?" She tossed her hair backwards.

"Since it happened at the night, I presume that she didn't see this person well. The night has a way of tempering with ones mind" Those damn fillies!

"Why did they all see the exact same thing!?" The rainbow mane pegasi glared at my as she hovered.

" I have no reason to hurt you ponies. Why would have I saved you from that wraith if I had ulterior motives?" Got you.. I  mentally grinned. " It must have been someone else.They are little fillies remember? They always have wild imaginations "And now the final nail in the coffin " I spent the entirety of last night with Miss Fluttershy, so It couldn't have been me" I leaned against the wall.

The mares looked at each other with unsure expressions. Twilight seemed to be in deep thought."We should get the fillies here then" She spoke with a smile." They would definitely recognize you, If they had seen you that night"  As a human would say..............BY THE GODS I´M FUCKED! Time seemed to slow down as my brain went into overdrive. I cant stop them from getting the fillies and that barrier has the souls of these ponies protected! I could feel the sweat beads starting to form.Wait! If I did that thing...Mot you are truly a genius!

"I can get them for you. Saves the trouble of you doing it" I said with a with a stoic voice and expression. Twilight turned towards me and smiled.

"Sure! I do feel a little tired after that- Wait what!?"

"ThankyouIwillseeyoulaterthen!" I rocketed through the door, leaving the shocked mares behind.

Sweet apple acres

Immediately after I left the tree house I flied towards the nearest location that being a huge Apple orchard. That mare had three apples as a mark, so that must mean that her younger sibling lives here.... I though while I scanned the orchard.

"Catch me if you can!" I heard a voice echo from behind me. That scratchy voice..... I turned towards it and as luck would have it the three fillies were running towards me without even noticing.

"No fair Scotaloo!" The yellow filly whined. They are literally running into my hands

"Oh come on Applebloom!" The filly finally turned her head towards me. " You are just....." She trailed of when she saw me. The other fillies crashed into her and they rolled right in front me.

"What they hay! Why did yo-" She and the other filly froze in fear at the sight of me.

"Ru-run!" The scratchy one screamed and they hastily tried to get up. Not this time I grabbed them in my telekinetic grasp and lifted them up.

"Ah don't wanna get eaten!" The yellow filly sobbed.

"I never got my cutie mark!" Squeaky cried.

"Silence!" I bellowed in anger, silencing the fillies. " Do I have your attention now?" They slowly nodded their heads."Good" I dropped them on the ground.

"Your sisters should be here in any minute now, so I want you to lie when they ask about me"

"But mah sister is the element of honesty....we cant lie to her" I rolled my eyes.

"Just don't look into her eyes when you lie" I explained to the fillies.

"Is it that easy to lie?" The scratchy one blurted, but quickly closed her mouth when I glared at her.

"If you do this I shall forgive you for disrespecting me"  The fillies seemed to be uncertain and a little scared.

" I will also let you ride my coffin" Their eyes widened." And I will help you earn these "cutie marks" " I smiled at them. I could see their eyes sparkle in excitement, seemingly forgetting the events of yesterday .

"Deal!" They yelled at the same time.

"Good! So this is what you must say.."
