Chapter Eight
Whose baby is this?

I groggily dragged myself out of the bed my hooves landing on the worn wooden floor of the inn. I had never been drunk before, so this was also my first hangover. I hated it!

Winter walked in, she looked well rested, and not hung-over. Which was strange, considering she drank more than the drunkest buck there. She got completely wasted. Chip had to carry her to her room.

“Good morning, Diamond” she said.

I groaned.

“Hangovers suck, don’t they?” She replied with a chuckle, “Don’t worry, Darling, I know a spell that will fix that.”

Her horn started glowing a soft green, and a beam of magic hit my head. Suddenly the world cleared up, I felt normal again.

“Thanks.” I replied.

“It’s nothing, really.” She said, “After all, the whole town is no longer hung-over.”

She had used the spell on everpony here? Either she was talented in magic, or the spell was easy.
Whichever, I still wanted to learn that spell, I’d probably be using it again. After all, I loved beer!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was leaving the inn, when Desert Blossom stopped me.

“Diamond, I’m sorry about last night,” she said, “ I was drunk, you were drunk. And when I’m drunk, I get horny as shit. Can you forgive me?”

I nodded, “Of corse I can, Desert Blossom. You didn’t mean anything by it. No harm done.”

She smiled,”Thanks.”

We had left Shady Dunes, and were on our way to Foallywood. I waved goodbye to our new friends. It seemed not all ponies were bad. Even in all this darkness, there was light. In my first day in the wasteland, I thought every thing was hopeless, but now that I seen the good in ponies, I knew we could fix this. We just had to get off our rumps, and fix it.

looked up and saw, in massive once white letters, the word Follywood on a hill. I wondered why ponies had built the sign. It seemed pointless to me.

I looked back at Chit.

“Why are you still with us?” I asked out of curiosity.

“Why not?” the Changeling replied,”I’ve got nothing better to do.”

“Can’t you go home?” Winter asked.

“Why would I want to. Our queen is a tyrant, she’d have me killed for my crimes. the ambassador didn’t come here to Negotiate some peace treaty, she came for a surrender.”

“Then why are ya helpin’ us ponies?” Chip questioned.

“I came here to get away from a screwed up dictatorship. I came here to be free. and as a free being, I want to help however I can.”

We had walked several minutes, when I saw some ponies far off. I pulled out my rifle and looked down the scope so I could see better. What I saw was a group of raiders surrounding a bloodied and beaten mare. They seemed to be egging on a pony. I adjusted the focus, and almost dropped the rifle. There, standing hesitantly next to the mare was a blank-flanked earth pony colt. The raiders where trying to get him to... I didn’t even wanna think about it. These raider were so dead!

I sent four rounds of hot lead Into their faces. All four bullets hit they’re marks, and four more raiders where dead. It seem’d that was no longer afraid of killing ponies, I didn’t like it, but I wasn’t that helpless pony that I was when I had left my stable. Plus I could never call raiders ponies. Ponies don’t mutilate whole stables full of innocents!

I ran over, the colt was nuzzling the mare.

“Miss, please help, they hurt mommy!” he looked up at me, tears in his eyes, “she’s dieing!”

I looked at the unicorn, she was already dead. I frowned. I was too late, if I had got there sooner could have saved them both. I had nothing to say, there was nothing I could say. I fell to the floor crying.

“I’m sorry.” I repeated several times. How do you tell a foal his mother was dead? Even more so when she died right in front of him?

“Is mommy...Dead?” He asked.

I wrapped my fore legs around his neck. “Yes.”

He started crying into my shoulder.

“ I-I was scared, I shouldn’t have run away, mommy would still be alive.”

I looked at him, “It wasn’t your fault, It was the bad ponies that did this to her’s fault.”

He cried himself to sleep. After he did, I started laying into one of the dead raiders. His cold blood stained my coat as I splattered his remains all over the street. With one last blow, I crushed his skull in, I didn’t know why I had done that, but I felt a little better.

“What we going to do with him?” I asked.

“I can fly him to Shady Dunes, and be back before sun down.” Chit replied

I was kind of surprised that Chit would do that. I mean if you looked at him, he looked like an evil monster or something. but inside, he had a heart of gold.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chit had left with the colt, whose name I now knew was Inky Blue. Chip dug a hole, and we buried the poor colt’s mother. Why did the world have to have so much pain? I looked at the scorched buildings of Las Pegasus.

An image came to my mind, of hundreds of ponies cooking, or on their way to work or just talking with friends. Just going about their normal lives. And in a flash of arcane energy, it was all gone in an instant. It was hard to imagine that had really been what happened, even though it was. It seemed impossible for a whole city filled with innocent ponies, to be wiped out completely in one fiery blast.

I prayed to Celestia, that nothing like this would happen again, ever.

I see, but man in the past 2 days you dished out 3 chapters! That's a lot, and I have to say you need to slow down a bit. I like the story but man I can't keep up if you up date 2 time a day!

Sorry, I just really felt like writing. I should have probably waited to update it.
