Faction: Discord and Company
Year ERROR WT
I sighed. I've been wandering these mists for...I'M NOT SURE HOW LONG! It feels like years! I shouldn't have gone with that draconequus. Mom always said they were trouble. I trusted one and now look where that got me.
I looked around me with a huff. Every direction I go, it all looks the same. The ground is a variation of soil and rock while the mists surrounding me blanket everything, it's impossible to see anything past 3 hooves. The eery mist is grey with hints of blue and speaks to me. It talks of all of my failures in a haunting tone, the kind of tone that sticks with you forever. The kind that scars.
I got up again with a sigh an decided to go to my left, which probably won't do anything, but like my mom always says: 'if you are lost, head leftwards." My mom hasn't been wrong yet. I sighed and wondered why I was doing this. This wasn't my first time going to the left, and probably not my last if I can't figure what the buck is going on.
Unfortunately after the disappearance of magic, the Kirin have been forced to stay in the form they were in when magic was taken. Few were Nirik, but the majority were Kirin. I was one of those Kirin. After magic was stripped from all creatures, the Kirin's and Nirik's isolated themselves from everycreature else.
I wasn't like them. I decided to head out after a month of boredom. After a while, I stumbled across a crying Discord. I never asked why he was crying instead I offered a hoof in comfort. He accepted it gratefully, and soon we became friends. He shared his worries over magic and I shared my dreams of freedom. Overtime, the two became one and we headed out. We stopped by a couple towns to collect creatures of various skills for a journey worthy of the history books.
Those three weeks were the greatest in my life, then the Kingly Mountains came. A mist rolled in, obscuring my vision and making me stray from the group. I cried out but to no avail. I patiently waited for a good while, that did nothing. After a while, I got the memo. No creature was coming.
That's when I started exploring the Mistlands, as I like to call it. The Mistlands is covered in mist, obviously, but the terrain is bizarre, ranging from massive mountains to deep gorges. The landmark's blocked my passage any further as they stretched all around me. I so furiously wanted to become a Nirik and yet I cursed again for not being able to change.
I found a very interesting rock one day that looked very comfortable and it was! I have may have stayed there for many hours... I sighed and headed back to that very rock for some comfy time. I past Cloudette, a strange looking tree, hopped over Roud the Cloud Rock, and crawled through a soft bush named Boosh.
I crawled onto my rock bed and took a nap.

I breathed in the scent of fresh bread. My brother brought out the loaf from the over with a big grin. He's been learning how to bake from Old Blaze Flower, the best in town. He placed the bread in front of me and Blaze with a proud flourish. The old Kirin studied the bread from all angles before nodding. Sunflower Spark's smile grew even wider as he saw the nod. He drew a knife with his magic and sliced the loaf with trained precision.
He grabbed a couple of plates from the cupboard and placed the freshly cut slices on top. He sprinkled a couple of sunflower petals on top and presented it to us.
"Bone apple tea sister, and may you find comfort master. I have poured my heart and soul into this creation and may it pleasure your senses!" I rolled my eyes at his flamboyance. Blaze grabbed the slice with his magic and took a bite and then another. After his fifth bite, he proclaimed it ok.
Spark's eyes boggled out with gleeful surprise. He could barely contain his excitement from his teacher's approval. My eyes rolled again, and decided to take a bite. Before I even chewed, I could tell it was delicious. My slice was gone within seconds.
"Brother, you've outdone yourself!" I threw my hooves around him in a hug. He chuckled and hugged me back. Blaze grunted and trotted away with his fluffy purple tail swishing back and forth. Spark watched him leave and when the door clicked behind him, Spark jumped up and yelled with joy. I smiled as he hopped around the room.

I woke up with a tear rolling down my cheek as I remembered y brother's face. A face I haven't seen for a year, maybe even more. I lay there, sprawled on the rock, crying softly as I thought all that has happened...
Fire...House...Spark's face...Fear...Screams...Crying...Yelling...Water being sprayed...Magic and bullets...Blood...Death...Arguments...Tears...Discord...Laughter...Travels...Mist...Lost...
I am lost. I am alone. I am tired. Why me? Haven't I suffered enough already?
"BUCK THIS PLAAAAAAACE!" My yell echoed through the Mistlands. I shook the tears away and charged angrily towards a gorge with the full intent to end it all. As I charged, I could feel my body slowly heat up. I didn't stop, nothing can make me stop now. The chasm was in view now.
More tears flowed down my cheeks as I cried out and jumped. I looked straight down at the earth rising up towards me at frightening speeds. My entire body engulfed with flames as I plummeted. Before I hit the ground, I closed my tear-stained eyes and though of everykirin I loved.
And I smiled.
