“But I do know that you should never let a fight or battle endanger the lives or safety of other ponies, I don’t know what you were thinking, or even if you were thinking at all, but you do not put the lives of other ponies in danger and peril.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?!” he said with a loud angry shout as his tone and voice slowly rose to a roar ever since he said the word ‘but’ in his sentence.
“Yes, I understand,” Carl said slowly backing away from the rage and anger of Star Swirl, and he was both afraid, shocked, and surprised, he had never seen such anger and hate and fury from Star Swirl, and he had never seen him cast any spells with so much power and strength, and all of this scared him, he didn’t understand what was happening or what was going on, but he did know and understand the anger, hate, and fury that Star Swirl was pouring on him.
“I DON’T THINK YOU DO! I WANT YOU TO PROMISE ME NEVER TO FINISH A FIGHT OR BATTLE IF YOU KNOW THAT OTHER PONIES WILL GET HURT, OR IF YOU EVEN HAVE THE THOUGHT, IDEA, OR PLAN TO HURT OTHER PONIES! AND IF I EVER SEE YOU TREAT ANOTHER PONY LIKE YOU DID TO ME, I SWEAR THAT I WILL PERSONALLY HAUNT YOU UNTIL THE DAY THAT YOU DIE, DO YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO MY TERMS THAT I HAVE?”
“I promise, I swear I won’t ever finish a battle or fight if other ponies will get hurt, and I won’t ever treat another pony like I did to you, I won’t hurt them in the same way I did to you, and I will try to not hurt them at all if I can avoid it,” Carl said trying to calm Star Swirl down so they could talk with reason.
“Good, but do not think that just because I do not see you does not mean that I cannot know your actions, there are ways to make other ponies talk, and if I ever even hear a rumor or a whisper that you have returned back to your old ways, well you won’t like what I have planned for you, because you will have to pay for your crimes and actions, and the consequences would be most dire when you do, I hope and pray that you can remember this day, for it would be bad for you if you ever forget it, always remember this day, and never forget it.”
And with that said Carl nodded and said, “I will remember this, I won’t forget,” (and in his mind Carl doubted he ever could forget this, even if he wanted to,) and then he ran off and away with his ‘friends’ for he was too afraid to speak anything else or more, and he was also too afraid to stand up to his anger, hate, fury, and wrath any more or longer, what he saw and heard, it was too much for him to take in, he couldn’t process it, and so he ran to the only place that you could go to when you’re afraid, he ran back home, which was a very wise and smart thing to do in this case, staying there would have been too much of a risk and peril and danger for him, he didn’t want to know anything else that he might have to face from Star Swirl, he was already shocked, surprised, and scared at what he had seen already, and he didn’t want to see any more, and so he ran back to his home, which is exactly where he belonged now, no other place would accept him or give him the love he needed other than his home, but then again, that is the case with every single pony that there ever was, and there is no exception, for home is where the heart is.
