Dawn of a New Day

Free At Last.

So, after chucking Tempest Shadow in the dungeons, I was dragged up to the throne room, again, sitting across from the Princesses. Blaze was at my left, Chrysalis at my right. The three of us were facing all four Princesses. Luna was still slightly covered in blood, but I’m willing to bet that she’ll live. I was sipping on some water, while Celestia was taking several deep breaths, likely trying to figure out what to say. Overall, I’m having a dandy old time. Oh, and Cadance and Twilight were there because they were technically rulers of Equestria as well. 

“I suppose I shall start,” Luna said.  “Why did you help us? And why were you at the festival?”

I shrugged. “For your second question, you literally watched your sister force me to go to that shitshow; I didn’t wanna go. I actually wanted to leave Equestria for good. For your first? Well, I was actually using the festival as an excuse to go on a date with somebody, and Canterlot being invaded by an evil-looking unicorn and a shitton of humanoids seemed like it would interrupt my date. And possibly hurt Blaze and the pony I’m dating; I wasn’t gonna sit back and let that happen.” I shrugged. “By the way, I attended your festival, so I’m out.” I sat up to immediately get the hell out of here.

Twilight grabbed me with magic. “You don’t feel any remorse?! You killed an entire airship full of creatures!” She shouted.

“Would you rather have everyone you know and love be dead? That’s what happenes when you lose a war. Shit like that happens because that was what was going to happen when you tried talking to Tempest Shadow. You. Don't. Talk. Shit. Out. With. Ponies. Like. Her. You kick their shit in and show them why you are not to be messed with. And yeah, I feel a little bad, I'll definitely lose some sleep over it, but guess what?” I nuzzled Chrysalis. “My date is safe, Canterlot is safe for now, and you’re still alive. Some nice, silver lining.” I shrugged. I also couldn’t help but chuckle when everyone was seemingly shocked either at how me and Chrysalis are dating, or how nonchalant I am about this.

“I would like to ask you, Ostri,” Celestia finally spoke up. “I feel as though Equestria is inbound for a war. Would you be willing to assist us? I heard what you said; you at least care about my little ponies not getting hurt.” She smiled. “After the war is over, I will-“

“You got four alicorns, a fuckload of Lunar Guards, and a fuck ton of Solar Guards. The Storm King’s commander is behind bars. You also have magical artifacts that place your country as the strongest in the world. What is going to happen is you’re going to let me leave, or I am going to come back with fireworks and shoot them off in the palace. I’m seriously sick of your shit, with you making me attend festivals, manipulating me at every turn, and pretending like you even care about me. I will kill you, Celestia, if you don’t get the fresh fuck out of my life,” I snarled. “Now, let me leave. That’s all I want.”

Luna glared at me. “What happened to the stallion I fell in love with? You are so nonchalant about mass-killing sentient life, and you’re threatening myself and my sister? Have you no care, you ungrateful whelp-“

I started laughing like a maniac. “Oh. So now our relationship meant something to you! Wow! If only you fucking started with that after we first reunited, and I would’ve happily helped you stomp out the Storm King’s race. And I, not thinking of the people that I just killed, as people help a lot with not feeling remorse; I’m going to hell. Won’t stop me from having nightmares, but it helps. And Luna, you wonder why I threaten Celestia, when you two have done nothing but cause me to wish I was aborted before my biological mother decided to abandon me. Now…” I sighed. “Am I allowed to leave? That’s legit all I’ve been trying to do for a week straight, so let me leave.” Celestia simply nodded. She was crying. “Save the tears, you fuckin’ twat.” 

Luna flew from her throne, before landing in front of me. “Ostri, I just wanted to let you know that… I am so sorry. I now understand just how much our relationship ending has affected you. But I do not understand why you decided to become a monster! When you first killed those griffins, you were at least capable of showing remorse! You just killed just as many, if not more yetis, and you don’t care! Even if you’re feeling angry, if you hate me, you should still care about what you just did!” Luna slapped me across the face. “You, you do not deserve to be loved if you keep that attitude up.”

“Ah, that one thing I’ve believed in since I was born. Luna, you’re telling me I’m a sack of shit, for protecting your subjects for you? Yeah, my reasoning was a bit selfish, but what about that is different than when I killed those griffins? I fought them because they wanted you dead. I did it because I loved you and wanted to keep you safe. I killed those yetis because they were threatening Blaze and Chrysalis. Sure, what I did also protected your ponies, but I did it for my loved ones, not for the masses. Hell, there’s probably a tiny part of me that did it for you, because that part still loves you for whatever fucktarded reason I have.” I let out a long, deep sigh from my nostrils. “I fucking hate you, Luna.”

The doors behind us slammed open and a yeti walked in. “I am looking for the one who blew up his majesty’s vessel and captured Captain Tempest,” he looked at me directly. “The Storm King has an offer for you,” how the fuck does he know who I am? “If you walk away, and allow the Storm King to conquer Equestria, he will not harm you. He will not harm your loved ones. If you-”

“Ah man, that’s crazy. I was just about to leave anyways. Though lemme get this straight,” I lunged and pinned the fucker to the ground. “You lay a hand on Chrysalis or Blaze… Send a word to your king. If he leaves me alone, I have no reason to fight him. If he comes for my friends, I will make him watch as I crush his heart. I will wipe you, your fucking wife, everyone you know and love, off the face of the fucking earth. Do. Not. Fucking. Test. Me.” I grabbed my knife. “Just for a reminder of why you leave me alone,” I snarled. In one swift movement, I cut one of his thumbs off, before cutting the other thumb off. The yeti beneath me screamed in agony. “Now, go tell your King to fuck off.” I hopped off of the piece of shit, before turning to Blaze and Chrysalis. “Let’s leave. There’s nothing left for us here.”

Right before we got through the doors, I turned back for a split second. “Luna. I did love you, truly loved you, even without you being the only mare I talked to a thousand years ago. Go to our old bedroom and look in my nightstand. I want you to know what you ruined by being a cunt.”

With that, Chrysalis grabbed Blaze, and I flew out of a window after breaking it. 

The three of us landed in our wagon, we hopped on, and started heading up north. I wanna see what the griffons are up to. “Hey Ostri,” Chrysalis finally spoke up. I sideyed here. “Remind me to catch you when you are angry; it’s kind of hot.” We both had a good laugh, and we both leaned into each other as it was time for the start of our new lives as nomads. 

This is the start of a new day.
