Prompt: A drunk pony sits next to you in a bar, thinks you’re their buddy and starts confessing “the truth."


Title: What could it be




Wanting to relax after a hard day’s work I decided to check out the new pub that opened up this month. it is a little out of the way so I wasn't surprised that it was mostly empty. trotting up to the bar I order a random drink. looking  around the place I notice somepony staring at me. he is a larger than normal pony and he looks like he has had a few too many. I start to panic some when he wanders over to where I was sitting.
"look," he begins, "I know you have a marefriend and you care for her but I need to say this." 
My panic gives way to confusion, he must have mistaken me for somepony else. I begin to tell him he has the wrong pony, but he starts cuts me off.
"The truth is I think she's not who she says she is. I heard her talking to some shady pony about an 'artifact'." he even air quoted. "I even found this weird thing that could be the 'artifact." he pushes a parcel into my hooves."I'd keep an open ear around her if I were you. I worry about you, bro. Be careful." that's when he turns and left me dumbfounded. I turn to the bartender and order another drink, prepared to put this behind me. I can't help but think what could this 'artifact' could be and what I just got pushed into.
