Brass Knight POV

I growl and slam my glaive through the head of the wooden wolf, the twentieth to be precise, and with a roar I stomp the wooden corpse to splinters. I snap my gaze to another wooden wolf, trying to escape. I growl again and sprint at the beast with my glaive to my side, it attempts to yelp, until my glaive shatters it. The other wooden wolves sprint away, deeper into the woods. I merely growl, turn and start walking in a random direction, my glaive resting on my shoulder. As I walk I inspect it, it's brass surface still had a mirror-like shine to it. It had ingravings in the head, a torn cloth was wrapped along the pole, it had words written along its surface but I have long since forgot their meaning. Suddenly I hear a rustle from a nearby bush. Instead of calmly asking who was there, like a normal person. I roar and swung my glaive downwards at the bush, the inhabitant was soon revealed to be a purple unicorn. But I didn't care, it was prey and I was the only apex predator around...

Twilight Sparkle POV

I groan and look at the map again. "Where did I get lost? I was following the path." I say to myself and look up from the map, to see a Timberwolf get absolutely destroyed into splinters by a strange metal thing. I gasp and then almost scream as more Timberwolves run at me. But I didn't scream, they ran past me. 

"What the..?" I think aloud, but then as a stomping sound suddenly found itself in my ears, I quickly look around and leap into a bush. I cring as I rustles loudly, but then I see two metal pillars just a few metres ahead of my bush. I was about to think why two pillars were here, but a humongous roar startled me out of my thinking so badly, I fell out of the bush and I was glad I did. The strange metal monster obliterated the bush I was just in, I took a moment to examine the monster.

It was made of a brass or bronze metal, with a mirror-like shine to it, then I realised it was armour. It stood well above me, it must be over 6 or 7 hooves, It's head was covered by a roaman helmet, it looked modified as a blank visor covered the front, not seen in any books I've read. It's armour was much thicker then Royal Guard armour, a torn white cape hung from it's neck, a strange emblem on it. I gasped as I recognised the emblem, it was from a book I read. The Brass Inquisitors, it was three swords inside a orange hexagon. Then I realised the strange metal pole in it's grasp was a very large spear-like weapon, then I notice the monster was looking me in the eye and how it had it's weapon was swinging towards me.

Brsss Knight POV

I stare into the tiny unicorn's eyes as I begin to swing my glaive at it's neck, then I suddenly feel a strange feeling as it's horn lights up. Then I feel myself getting pushed back, my glaive missing by millimetres. I growl and swipe my free arm across my body, the strange feeling fades and the unicorn stumbles backwards. Without hesitation I run forward and quickly raise my left foot to crush the little annoyance and just as my armoured foot was about to snuff out another life, it's horn glows again and a flash explodes in under of my boot. I raise my foot to see no blood, I growl and turn to see the unicorn with a terrifyed expression a few metres away. I swing my glaive around and try to smash the unicorn into the tree next to it, another flash and my glaive hits the tree. Slowly I turn around and see the purple unicorn appear in another flash, I stare at it as I pull my glaive out of the tree. I point at it with my free hand, it's expression changed into shock then confusion. Then I roar again, pull back my glaive and then thrust at the tiny and pitiful unicorn. I watch as the glaive glows as it goes back, then as it goes forward it unleashes the power of lightning. I look at the unicorn as the lightning slams into it's body, it screams and convulses on the ground. I notice it's eyes staring at me, so I grab my visor and lift it...

...The unicorn's expression was the best thing I've ever seen, it's face pales and it's eyes widen until they were larger then dinner plates. I let my visor fall into place as I mentally grin with excitement. But as the unicorn tries crawl away, I slowly lose my mental grin and walk towards it, my foot ready to snuff out life of that pest. But I hear a noise, apparently as well as the unicorn, and stop my walking.

Then suddenly something hits my shoulder, it barely moves it but I felt it. So when I turned around I also swung my glaive around too, it narrowly missed a blue pegasus flying around. I look down and notice the pegasus wasn't alone, an orange pony and white unicorn held their ground. Until I roared and thrusted my glaive between the pair, it missed but I was ready. As the two jumped to the side, I reached out for the white unicorn. I grab the struggling pest and raise it up to my visor but I stop as the orange pony turns around to kick my leg. I mentally laugh as I tap the orange pony with my boot, sending it flying into a tree. But then that strange feeling came back, I turn my gaze onto the white unicorn and feel anger. It was trying to open my fist to free iteslf so I growl and casually toss the unicorn into the air, watching it as it hits the pegasus and then as they both fall to the ground. I stare at the three newcomers and then turn back to my original prey, then as I lock onto the unicorn it makes that infuriating flash. I quickly turn as a second and third flash appers around the newcomers, but I really didn't care. So then I turn and start walking again, in another random direction. Completely unaware that a certain village was in that direction...
