//------------------------------// // Intro // Story: Echo and the Mango Curse // by Matthais Unidostres //------------------------------// There once was a silly and mischievous, but nevertheless adorable, bat pony named Echo. She lived a pretty good life in a nice home with a housemate. Although she was very cute, Echo did have a few major flaws. Aside from being a little eccentric, Echo absolutely loved mangos. Of course, this isn't a flaw in of itself. The problem was that she loved mangos to such an extent that she would constantly steal them from her housemate without feeling a single shred of remorse. Eventually, it reached the point where Echo brutally assaulted her housemate just to steal the mango he was slicing. Unknown to Echo at the time, this act would not go unpunished. For her absolutely lack of kindness, sympathy, and self-control; not to mention a total underappreciation of friendship; powerful forces that had somehow been watching her decided to place a curse on her head. For as long as this curse was in effect, Echo would never be able to eat another mango again, not matter how hard she may try. Nevertheless, it wouldn't stop her from trying.
