The second I landed in the Everfree forest I knew I was in danger. I wrote twilight a note and left it in a tree nearby.
My suspicions of danger were right because as I stepped away a royal spear hit the tree were I was standing a moment earlier. I turned to see my father readying another spear in a blind rage. I sprinted forward with all my might. He wasn't expecting it and lost balance when I collided with him. I slammed my hoof into his face as hard as I could while he was on the ground, knocking him out so I could escape.
Just then an angry manticore charged out of the brush and got the jump on me. It damaged my wing pretty badly I could tell it was at least heavily bruised. The manticore began to charge my injured and defenseless father but I grabbed one of his spears and distracted the manticore by piercing its back. About that time my father was coming to and all I knew to do as I pulled out the spear was to scream for my father to run but rather than run he grabbed a spear and attacked the manticore. "I underestimated you my son! You are honorable and full of mercy, areas where I have failed!" he yelled to me "I can never kill my own bloodline, nor let them die no matter how desperate I am" I revealed to him as I took another jab at the manticore.
Suddenly my father hesitated, giving the manticore perfect oppurtunity to strike him. The the force threw him a good fifty meters back but he got up, bruised and bloody. "Come on you want dinner your gonna have to catch it!" he screamed and the manticore ran for him as he took off further into the forest. It seemed my luck had run out as I ran after my father and the manticore...
