"THAT HOMEWRECKING PIECE OF SHIT!"
Shining Armor screamed. He couldn't believe a broke middle aged stallion from sires hallow stole his wife. He felt humiliation as if he'd never felt it before. This was the worst thing to ever happen to him. He thought for a moment before deciding what to do. He reflected on his royal status and pondered what he could get away with.
"Hmm. I'm rich and powerful I could probably get away with murder."
Shining Armor thought to himself. However he was unsure about doing something so evil. Would it be hypocritical to become what he fought against? What would happen if his beloved sister found out? Would she forgive him? Would he be disowned by his loved ones? Would he lose his title as co-ruler of the Crystal Empire? He felt so conflicted, enraged, betrayed, confused, depressed, anxious, and lost. He needed a long walk. This was going to be the hardest decision Shining Armor had ever made. Should he resort to violence? Play the long game? Run away, change his name, disguise himself, and start a new life? Before he could go on that walk Firelight knocked on his door.
"Are you okay in there?"
Firelight asked. Shining Armor couldn't take it anymore. The betrayal. The stress. The way his perfect life came crashing down at his hooves. Everything he had worked so hard for was destroyed. The worst part is the culprit has the nerve to ask if he is okay. Shining Armor ripped the door off it's hinges and started beating Firelights face in. Adrenaline rushed through his veins. He had enough of this living hell.
"What the hell, stallion!"
Firelight screamed.
"This is for fucking my wife, knocking her up, and ruining everything I worked so hard for! Do you know what that feels like, huh? No! You don't! You'll never understand the pain I feel! Your broke ass ruined everything!"
Shining Armor screamed at the top of his lungs straining his vocal chords. He imagined Cadence and Firelight conceiving Flurry Heart. The thrusting and moaning, tangled sheets, the pink princess accidentally calling out Shining Armors name instead of Firelights. It was disgusting imagery that made him nauseated. He violently puked on the wounded and bloody purple stallion that ruined his life. Firelight stood no chance against the muscular former captain of the royal guard. He was fucked. And not in the fun way. Firelight begged for mercy while Shining Armor showed no signs of stopping anytime soon. The priviledged white stallion continued stomping on Firelights face as hard as his body would let him. This was the worst day of both of their lives. Things couldn't possibly get worse.
A few hours went by Firelight was put in the hospital by his landlord who heard him screaming when Shining Armor was beating him relentlessly. Shining Armor threatened to ruin the landlords life if word got out about this. Beating Firelight was a nice release but he still knew he was at rock bottom. His life was ruined and it wasn't even his fault.
He looked at a map wondering where to go from here. He pondered if he could handle being the co-ruler of the Crystal Empire for the rest of his life. If he could pretend to be happy with his wife who betrayed him. Raise a child that isn't his.
Live a life of repression and quiet desperation. Protect an empire for someone he loathed. Someone who ruined his life and screwed him over.
Hell no.
Shining Armor left Sire's Hollow and was never seen or heard from again.
