“Oh Autumn you pain me I thought you wanted to play my game” what is this ponies problem? I don’t see what he enjoys so much about this ‘game’.
“Oh well I’m sorry to disappoint you Pestilence but this game of yours is boring me so I will not partake anymore.” Oh please don’t let him see how nervous I am I look at Pestilence and see his face drop and his gaze turn to one of hatred
“well in that case it looks like I am going to have to kill you but first I want to watch you squirm.” with those words his horn glows, his eyes narrow and the room begins spinning. As my vision returns I can see Storm lower his head and Pestilence shoot him with a bolt of magic throwing him across the room I can only watch in horror as Storm writhes on the floor in extreme pain I gallop towards him and cradle his head “Storm?” Pestilence’s contented cackle rebounds around the room.
“It is too late my dear the venom is already in him he will be dead within minutes” I look at him tears in my eyes “there you’ve broken me are you happy now please stop this game.”
“Oh but why would I want to stop this I am having so much fun” I look at Pestilence the tears rolling down my cheeks cradling Storms head.
“why are you doing this? I never did anything to you Pestilence” the tears flow quickly and regularly down my cheeks.
“Why? WHY? *he coughs* because you left him Autumn left him to fend for himself when all those ponies were laughing at him you let them laugh at him. Do you know what that poor little colt was running from he was running from me! I possessed his body and took it for my own you see I am a lich my dear so no matter what you do with my body I will still live your friend on the other hoof…” he pauses and shrugs “I don’t fancy his chances” a wide grin spreads across his face “and when he’s dead you’ll be next my dear” Storm stirs in my arms as I look down at him with teary eyes.
“Storm?” he looks up at me and smiles as he reaches a hoof up and caresses my cheek
“did I ever tell you how beautiful you are?” his voice is barely a whisper and a pang of grief shoots through my heart I can’t speak this is all too much to take in at once so I just shake my head he smiles weakly. “well you are so beautiful…Autumn I have something to tell you I I love you” my eyes widen at his statement and my body shudders from the crying.
“I love you too Storm” I cradle his head and cry for a little while longer and look at Pestilence “you are cruel you know that you take away the only friend I ever had just for your own personal gain” my horn glows green as I cry as my anger rises “you are hell bent on making my life a misery you could have just killed me but you infected Storm with this virus” the aura thickens unbeknownst to me as my anger rises to boiling point “I wish you would JUST DIE!” I shout and then a bolt of green magic blasts out of my horn without warning and hits pestilence square in the chest he is then sent spinning my eyes widen what have I done? I look at pestilence oh I hope to the high heavens he is dead. He is sprawled on the floor a look of shock frozen on his face suddenly storm speaks although his voice being barely a whisper I almost miss it “Autumn listen to me I I don’t know how much longer I have I can feel pestilences’ spell in me it hurts” a single tear trickles from behind his trademark shades “Autumn take my shades off I want to look upon you properly one last time” I take his shades off my hoof shaking and look into his striking yellow eyes and he smiles weakly tears welling up in his eyes “that’s better now I can see your beautiful eyes one last time” he takes a shuddering breath and stares at me…
As she takes off my shades I fight back the tears I can see her hoof shaking as she lifts the shades from my eyes then she looks into my eyes with her amazing magenta eyes I can’t help but feel the tears pooling in my eyes no don’t cry this may be the last time you see her you have to stay strong give her something to remember you by a sudden pain shoots through my body not long now… “that’s better now I can see your beautiful eyes one last time” they truly are beautiful I have to tell her this might be my last chance to tell her how I feel here goes…
Why is he staring at me like that? I look at him with a worried expression on my face is he dead? No he can’t be dead he just can’t be I feel the tears fall from my eyes as look at him I cradle his head as I rock backwards and forwards the tears flowing like a river “storm no please you can’t be dead you just can’t be tell me it’s not true storm” I stay there cradling his head for a minute or more until I stop and look at his staring eyes all light in them gone I touch his hoof and feel it is cold as ice that’s when I notice the tear trickling down his cheek I touch his cheek gently the tear is cold he’s gone my only friend in the entire world has just died I am now alone in the world…
