Egore and the carnival of the night.

Egore and the carnival of the night.

By: A Fool (Aka Squall Lockheart)

Prologue

‘What have I done?’  The red unicorn thought to himself as he fidgeted in his seat.  ‘ What if they send guards, this was a bad idea.  Why did I agree to this?  Why now, why me?’  His thoughts raced as sweat dripped from his brow.

Shut up Egore you're giving me a headache.

‘But what are we going to do?  This train only has one stop they’ll surely be waiting for us in ponyville.  Then what?! Then how will we save her?’

EGORE!  Egore flinched at the sound of his name being screamed in his head.  How does panicking now help save her later?  Deep breaths, we’ll worry about what we did after we save her ok?

    Egore closed his eyes and took a deep breath, ‘I blame you if things go wrong, but you know that’ and let it out as he looked out into the dark night.  ‘Are you sure you know what to do?  We didn’t get to read that book for long before we got caught.’

“Ticket sir?”  Egore jumped out of his seat hitting his head on the overhead rack.  “Sir are you ok?  I didn’t mean to startle you like that” the white unicorn stepped into the room, a concerned look on his face.

“oww.  Yea I’m ok, I think, I was just thinking to myself.”  Taking the unicorns offered hoof with a sheepish grin *squee*

What was that?

Egore pulls out his train ticket for the stallion who in turn pulls out a hole punch and punches the ticket “Thank you very much sir, enjoy the rest of the trip.  And do be careful.” He smiles as he steps out of the room sliding the door shut.

Several moments pass by the sound of the train picking up once again.  Egore breath before you kill us both.  Egore gasps for air not realizing what’s going on as fear grips his heart.  Just keep breathing and everything will be fine.

‘But the guard found us.’  Egore thought, focusing on breathing once again.  Doesn’t matter now we got away.

‘But they caught us and took us before the princesses, They’re going to be after us, the PRINCESSES!’

They can’t leave Canterlot just to chase down one pony.  It would cause panic for anypony who saw them chasing ponies down.  Besides like I said before, we got away so don’t worry about it.

‘Okay,’ The unicorn leaned closer to the window peering out into the night once again, ‘What if we can’t make it in time?  What if they got tired of waiting and already did it?’

Egore.  The voice started sounding on the verge of giving up.  We won’t know if we’re too late until we get there.  We’ve been through a lot of bad stuff in the past.  Just this once, try to stay positive.  If they stick to their word, we still have time.

The stallion started to fidget with his forehooves, ‘So you know what we need to do?’  he thought as he looked down to his hooves before closing his eyes tightly.

Yes I know the price but don’t worry about that, it’s not your burden.  Tears started to slowly seep through Egore’s eyes as he tried to hold back at the thought of what was to come. Egore get some rest.  You will need your strength, tomorrow brings your greatest test.  I’ll take over and watch for trouble.

There, alone in the train cabin the unicorn cried himself to sleep, awaiting the mornings sun.  Along with the judgment that he would likely have to face for his crimes.

Sleep Egore, tomorrow you will set things right once and for all,and you will not have to worry about anyone judging you poorly for your actions.  For tomorrow the truth will shine in the morning light, and the one you love may be saved.
