It was surprisingly not too difficult to convince the guards and a select few in my government and my army to do what needed to be done… I mean, it was incredibly difficult getting them to agree to that measure, but once they saw the results of the defects, they undertook this duty… with great anguish, but resolve.
Oh who am I trying to fool, they cried the first time they fed the poison and then as time went on, cried less and less. It might have helped that this wave of armored… mutant ponies, were looking less like seaponies. These ones had extra rear flippers along with flukes.
With that, I hoped that I managed to ensure that these… babies…, were cleansed to prevent Aquestria’s destruction.
But … some idiot parents were too sympathetic. They kept their children! Hid them, against all of my instruction and… oh creator…
An entire village. The parents tried to restrain their mutant son as they searched for a cure to his condition. Of course, they didn’t know that they were born this way and had no way of changing their nature. Yet, they tried regardless, and… well the son got loose. He went crazy and ripped the entire village apart. The old and young, the male and female, the mutant devoured them all before dying. We’re not sure why he simply died, but one thing is clear.
I was right to kill the children when they were young. I had no choice and this method, as cruel it was… the consequences of not doing so are far too dangerous.
