A Novice Swordsman in the Canterlot Court

Epilogue

The cloaked revolutionary marched in the shadows, slowly moving through the caves of the Northern Stones. The howling, icy wind howled in the deep tunnel of the Empire's northern mountains.

No one would find them here.

His job had been successful. There was no way a pony could survive the bite of Doomspinner Venom.

He walked with purpose, his head held high. Even as he moved through the roughly carved caves, his feathers bristled with pride. His eagle eyes quickly settled on the rock doors above him, and he walked up to them with satisfaction.

His approach was suddenly stopped by a hiss as a black creature stood before the doors.

The griffon gave him a look before saying with authority “My mission is a success."

The small creature looked at him with it pale blue eyes before stepping aside, the door opening as an aura of acidic green magick pulled it open by a hastily carved door handle.

The assassin entered the throne room.

A griffon sat on a large throne, hewn from the stone around him, at the back of the room. Around his wrists were silver bands, and he had a scar over his left eye. Around his head was a crown made from black iron, rough hewn and asymmetrical.

“My liege,” the assassin said, bowing. “The deed is done.”

“And the Pendragon?” the griffon asked.

“Dead.”

“Good, good. Then the Empire will soon be mine, as it was meant to be.”

“Yes, my liege,” the renegade responded.

“You may go,” a new voice said as a tall, pony-like figure stepped forward from out of the shadows.

She was tall, with dark green hair, transparent wings, and a jagged horn.

Atop her head was a small, almost comical black crown.

“Thank you, my lieges...” the killer said, backing out of the room.

As the door shut behind him the griffon turned to the Changeling. “Well done, Queen Chrysalis.”

“My pleasure, King Ironclaw,” she answered.

The disgraced General began to laugh. “Soon. Soon I will have my revenge! Soon the Empire will be mine!”

Chrysalis smiled. “Very soon, indeed, Your Highness...”

“Very soon, indeed...”

Dun dun dun!!!!!!

“Yay, Sequel!”

Yes indeed a sequel.

But first, here I’ve got something to say. Thank you guys, all you guys, for taking the time to read this. Thank you for giving a Brony-in-Equestria story where the human turns into a pony a chance to prove itself.

Thank you for everything you have done.

It’s been more than a year since I started this baby, and now it has come out victorious.

That being said, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

The sad truth is, A Novice Swordsman is actually the most boring of the stories I want release.

Yes, this is the dullest one.

And I’m only getting started.

So I’ve been DungeonMiner

“I’m Pinkie!”

“The name’s Kilokk”

“And I’m Sir Squidfish.”

Thanks for reading.

And We will see you next time!
