Fate's encounter
Chapter 6

When next I woke I saw that a camp had been setup around the area that I was in. I look around to see what was going on there were tents set up they the color of nightshade, then I look down at my feet and I see runes of some sort. Then I saw four unicorns they look strong powerful but then I heard one say.

"It's awake hurry activate the arcane circle! She ordered


"Yes mama"! the other three said in union

I noted that they all had cat like eyes, the iris was a golden amber and the pupils where black of course. Any way the coats were all the same gray with silver mane and tail. Their armor was a nightshade purple armor and helmet,Other parts were lighter purple and midnight blue. except the commanding officer who seemed to be have a midnight blue coat with a nightshade purple her eyes where just like the other three. except her armor was a lighter purple with starlight yellow that seemed to stream down the sides of the armor before curling on the ends of them.


"Why have you in prisoned me" I ask

"So you can talk" she s aid in a mocking manner looked like she was trying to intimidate me.then I growled at her out of annoyance,then I tried to swat her with my tale but I look down at myself and I was chained in chains , Ha ironic any way....


"Answer the question"!

" You have been suspected in the disappearance of the unicorn colt name snips, and we not sure how dangerous you are or can you be trusted ."

"I have nor did I see him in the forest all I saw was the unicorn colt with a snail on his flank no one else except, I don't even know what snips looks like".

Then she levitated a photograph in front of me


"Now do you recognize him, and what do you mean no pony else except who else was there"

"I telling you no I don't recognize him and for the second part of your question, lets just say the less you know the safer you are"

" Dam it you will tell me where Snips is and who was the other pony that you saw, and you will tell me Now" !

Now I saw no point in trying to hind the truth, the fool she doom them all if I tell them about HIM!
So I knew I had to come up with something or they would go to the colt I rescued from the creature and ask him what he saw and what happened then I stared to consider my options while I was doing that I heard the hooves steps coming closer I look up and saw the colt I saved earlier, my eyes went wide in fear not for my self but those he was about to put everyone else in danger if he said any thing of what happened in the forest.

" Child don't tell them any........"

I was cutoff before I could tell him don't tell the any thing, but instead I found a a cuff connected to a chain That was around my muzzle to keep me from talking.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Snails point of view.


As I got closer to of the Night guards stop. E before I could get to the one who saved me, and there I saw that they had in prisoned her.

" Why have you in prisoned her"?! Snails Asked


" we are interrogating the beast to see what it has done with snips and what or who else was there and trying to find out what happened. But it sees it will not tell us any thing, can you tell us snails what exactly happened and who the other pony was"? said commander Night shade

" If I tell you what happened do you promise to let her go"?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"But of cores we will wont we men"? said commander night shade


"Yes commander Night shade" the three of them said in union.

I kew she would never let me go, like she said I could be a threat to the locals, which I knew I was far from it. I would never hurt the innocences but sigh... They didn't know that. And there was nothing I could do to stop him from telling them about Him.

After Snails told them every thing that had happened earlier this night . And some had a look on there faces that said this kid is crazy no way that all happened, every one except the the commander who had an expression that said she was considering the facts, then ask?

"Ok, who was the other pony was there, and don't be afraid to tell us e en if we don't believe you. I need to know who what it is". the commander said in a reassuring voice.

" Ok I tell you it was..."

They leaned in closer to hear what he was about to say.

" it was ..."

...SLENDER MANE......


After Snails had told the Night guards what had accrued in the forest, the next thing I it was coming the three male guards started to laugh at the child for such a tale that every pony knew was just an old mare's story, turnout the one who had conjured the chains around me. It was because of his laughter that he released his magical hold the chains,and with that the chains began to disappear, I knew that this was my chance to escape and I took it. I began to concentrate my magic to my center, I knew it would take awhile for energy to be ready for use. Mean the Guards were still talking with snails.


"Kid seriously" said lieutenant Night light still half laughing at what snails said caused the death of snips.

" kid every pony knows that " Slender mane" does not exist" said private stardust with a bit of seriousness in his voice.

" Kid quit lying to us and tell us what really happ...


...........BOOM.........

"Fool what have you done"! I shouting using loud volume in my voice


"But I was only trying to help..."said Snails

"Help who, who could you help that you would need to explain what happened in doing so you have put everyone here in danger, so I ask again who is important that you would need to put everyone in danger"!? I said still having a edge to my voice, but soon regretted yelling at the child for you see he began to cry as he was giving his answer.

"I..I would only did it for a friend...one who saved me...you are the reason I did that, you are the only friend I have now since snips is.. Is..."said snails than he began to cry no not cry but sobs of grief of the loss of a friend a bestfriend. I look Down upon him.

I put my right wing around him and pull him into a loving embrace as to tell him I'm here for him and he is no longer alone. I would be for as long as he need me.

" thank you my friend for standing by my side and I'm sorry for yelling at you my dear friend." I said

And we sat there for the longest time in each others arms, before I could sense that some thing was very very wrong.

From the ominous fog an evil demonic laugh, it sounded so unearthly. I could see shadows of tentacles reaching for any unwary soul in sight. Then I put snails back on the ground and tell him.

" snails you need to stay with the guards" I said

" But why I want to stay with you"? Snails asked in a half whine

" snails I'm sorry but you need to go with the guards, because he is HERE" I said


Until the next time we meet, if any of you live long enough to see the next chapter.
