On the streets of Canterlot, mares and gentlecolts fill the streets, minding their own business, interviews, shopping, whatever a city horse should do, I'm Lightning Blade, and I'm just about to get thrown out from this restaurant by this staff. He dragged me like a rag doll (it's not like I'm giving any resistance), to be honest, this guy should go be a wrestler or something, he's strong, he can push shipments that weight about a chariot and I can't blame him for doing this to me, he's just doing his job. The reason I'm being dragged out of the restaurant is because I'm fired, I 'so called' mistreated the customer, and I hate that mare for being such a asshole, I was trying to save the owner's money, (she kept sending back dishes and complained about them), but he fired me for mistreating, fuck him.
Finally, I was dragged out of that dark, well I guess I can say grand, restaurant, it was a nice place, but with the fucked up owner in that building ruined my perspective. One of the managers barked, "This restaurant doesn't accept rude waiters like you, don't ever come back again!" he shut the door hard. I stood up, feeling like tearing down that place, *expressing anger* sorry, I'm just pissed because it's been 9 times since I'm fired from worthless Canterlot attitudes, wait have I introduced myself? No, I'm a Pegasus, I guess I can say I'm quite tempered sometimes, and my cutie mark, obviously, like my name, a short blade with electric surrounding it. I used to serve the royal family as a Solar Stallion, but I decided to leave because I've seen enough bloodshed from the last few years, my best friend died from an attempted assassination on Princess Luna, he's reliable, jokey, and the only stallion I've called brother, I remember he smiled and said this sentence before he died, "Forgive Princess Luna for this. Promise me you protect both of them." His name was Arche Venture, Lieutenant and rising, but died with a dreadful spear in his chest. I hated Princess Luna for being a top target for the assassins. I hated her that she's been selfish when she became Nightmare Moon, but after I talked to her, which I did, and I finally knew how she felt of all these years, and I forgive her, I wandered in the streets of Canterlot, and now, I'm just a piece of junk waiting to rot.
"Got fired again?" standing right there was Staff Sergeant, Emerald Spark, my previous partner, we did a lot of things together but never got to a real conversation before. Hey, it's a royal family service and shit like that, plus, we don't talk unless we need to.
"That's none of your business Sparky, and why do you keep following me? Shouldn't you be patrolling or busy protecting the princesses?" Seriously, I'm annoyed. That's like the 5th time he's been waiting outside the door for me to get fired.
"You know your whole ancestor job-line is tied to being apart of the Solar Stallions right? There's no possibility that you can get a job outside here." said Emerald Spark, calmly giving me a hoof then I stumbled like an idiot. "See, you can't even..."
"Oh stallion, will you just get the fuck out of my life? I don't believe that there's no job for me to do, and for the last time, leave me alone." I pushed him away, and shuffled my way back to my house, which my parents left for me. I remember giving a cold, dead, warning stare to Sparky to not follow me.
Eventually, he rushed to my side, "Look, well don't hit me yet, there's some news." *Whack* "Ouch, come on!" *Whack*, "We are low on troops, the Jackal clan is getting more assassins to finish Princess Luna off, and we need your expertise Lightning, we need you back, your Majesty... needs you."
"Give me the details, and WHAT EXACTLY YOU MEAN YOUR MAJESTY NEEDS ME?" I gave an angry reply.
"We got attacked on a escort mission, all of our troops were dead, they want us all to die and finish Princess Luna. Okay, I can't really answer that question, ask Princess Luna yourself." He tried to jab me, but I dodged.
"I'll... I'll think about it." When I heard they want us all to die, it means they want even innocent troops and the ones related to them to parish, and I have a friendly relationship with Princess Luna, 'friendly'. I would not wish her to get harmed, my friend did told me to guard both of the princesses, I don't want to fail him.
"Send me a mail when you want to rejoin the Solar Stallions." He was beginning to lift off, and I quickly said.
"Wait! I'll go, since... I do owe Arche a promise." I mumbled a bit. Okay I mumbled. *sigh* when I make a promise I do it okay? Don't look at me like that!
"I knew you would change your mind, well what are you waiting for? A chariot to come and fetch you?" *Whack*
"I was beginning to like you Sparky, don't disappoint me, by the way, I really wanted to climb on a chariot and watch you fly 10 miles to the castle."
"Yes sir.' he grinned. Oh by the way, I was a Second Commander. Guess I'll have to earn it back after all these years.
