	You watch the guards escort the criminals to their small cells. 
With pride you step out of the tower that nearly killed you, so long ago, and head toward the training ground. You whip out {your bow and start firing arrows at one of the targets} [your hands and launch ice spikes at one of the targets], hitting them dead center almost every time. An idea formulates, so you trudge through the thickening layer of snow toward the edge of Canterlot. You ready a [spike] {arrow} and aim it towards the far target, that wasn't supposed to be there. The architects made it 1000 yards farther than intended.
You wait for the burning in your chest, indicating another shout is ready. Almost immediately, you feel it. "Fus ro..." You let the [spike] {arrow} fly, "dah!"
The projectile flies at impossible speeds, so fast it produced a loud crack at its fastest. It flew straight through the target, and into the mountain behind it. The commotion of training soldiers and guards stops behind you, as they look at the hole in the far target. Well, it seems like you won over the guards twice today. That will certainly keep your record clean for a few months.

Dong... Dong... Dong... Ding... Ding...
3:30, time to roll.
You start toward the Canterlot palace. A good deal of the guards that were just training follow, as they were going to be guarding the guests. It felt like you were back in the civil war, surrounded by (soldiers/revolutionaries). 
"Sorry for... ah... arresting you..."  You look down at the white stallion.
"No worries, it's certainly not the first time I was arrested by mistake..."
A terribly awkward silence follows you until you reach the palace. Two guards that seemed lower in ranking than the ones behind you opened the heavy mahogany doors (mahogany doors, mahogany doors) at the entrance to the palace with their magic. Before you, was a massive chamber full of classy-looking guests, and assorted cheeses.
Immediately upon walking into the room, all activity stops, and everypony stares at you. "...Eh, hello!" You say awkwardly. To your relief, the talk slowly but surely comes back, but quieter. It wouldn't take a genius to know they were talking about you. You take a seat towards the edge of the crowd, feeling more out of place than ever before. From time to time a bus pony would offer you some weird cheese you never heard of, or a small thing of caviar, or something with avocado on it.
"Attention everypony!"
You look over at the princess in front of the big window overlooking the outside of canterlot, who was flanked by Princess Luna, Princess Cadance, ... and the six ponies you saw fighting the dragon? They certainly didn't seem like the rich or important last time you met. Then again, they were the only ones fighting the dragon out of a town full of ponies.
ROOOAAAAWRR
You fly out of your seat, seeing the unmistakable shape of alduin heading for the window "Princess! Get out of there!" Too late. Alduin burst through the window, one of his horns purposely hitting the princess in the head.
"Dovahkiin!"
"Alduin!"
"I told you I was to return, but you were a fool. You didn't heed my warning, and so today you perish!"
"I beat you twice! why should you win now!?"
KEROOOOWR
A peek out the window next to you said it all, the palace was surrounded by the dragons of this world, at least three... no, four..., no, five!? "Laas Yah nir" To your horror, all of canterlot is surrounded by hundreds upon hundreds of dragons. "Alduin!"
You feel rage burning through your body. You sprint towards alduin, drawing your {weapon(s)} [hands]  and grabbing onto his horns before he could react. His head immediately thrashed around, trying to throw you off.
In front of you, a lasso, wraps around the dragon's neck. You follow it down to see the six ponies from bomyville trying to bring down the dragon. Alduin swings his tail around, knocking away the pink and white mares, allowing alduin to be able to jerk his head and launch the other four away. You start {stabbing} [shocking] the dragons head, but none of the strikes got past the skull. Alduin jerk's his head up, hitting you against the ceiling and causing you to fall to the ground with a thud.
Your eyes snap open, Alduin has his mouth open in front of you, and a red glow is emanating from his throat. You do a roll, barely managing to escaped the stream of fire. A second stream narrowly misses your cheek, but still burning it. You look up to see two dragon heads in the window, the second about to roast you. This is a battle you just can't win.
You may as well take a few down with you.
"Wuld nah kest!
You fly onto one of the dragons heads with such force it peels away from the side of the wall and launches into a spinning freefall. As you turn, you see Cadance trying to get a wounded luna and celestia out of the palace. It eventually straightens out into a nosedive, straight for the ground. You see a pond.
"Goodbye, dragon!" You kick off of its back, entering a freefall of your very own. You can't do anything about it now, time to hope you got it right.
Splash
You crawl out of the pool, grateful for your life. A loud crack is heard. You look up, the entire overhanging part of canterlot is falling. Several small black dots follow it down. All those innocent ponies are about to die, because you were too much of a coward to stand and fight. You feel the sting of tears behind your {armor} [mask], and let them fall. Nobody would be alive to see you cry.
