It was a battle to be remembered for the kings army had lost and was about to be extinguished forever. The kings general, covered in wounds, was on his knees with his legs completely immobilized, the enemy’s leader standing before him. The enemy knight standing before him said " Alexander you have fought valiantly your God would be proud and so would your king. If you choose to join our forces you will be allowed to live." Alexander spit onto his enemy's boots. The enemy knight slapped Alexander sending waves of pain through his body. As the knight raised his sword and was about to bring it down on Alexanders neck but a loud explosion was heard, Alexander fainted from blood loss at his enemy's feet.

Alexander awoke strapped into a chair. He looked around to see if he could find some way to escape but it was to dark to see. He then heard a majestic voice say "My motives may be unclear but I need to learn something from this being." Another voice soon spoke up and said "Sister why haven't thou just searched his memory for those answers then finish him off." Alexander thought to himself and wandered how long he had been out and why the other voice wanted him dead. He accidentally thought aloud and said "Why does thou want me dead?" The beings came into his line of sight and the dark one said "You speak as if thou art from the old times." Alexander was to taken back by their appearance to much to pay attention to what she had said. He wondered to himself why the beings looked like pony's and started to think about where he was. The option of being captured flew out of his mind. He looked up at the beings to get a more details. The dark ones mane was dark just like her but flowing like a river. The white ones mane was flowing has well but it was rainbow colored instead. The question intriguing him the most is where was he. He asked "Where am I?" The Princess' looked at each other and moved their hooves onto their faces.

In unison they both said "In Equestria of course." Alexander looked in confusion and said "Is Equestria your kingdom?" The dark pony responded "No Canterlot is our kingdom." Alexander was confused but decided to save this conversation for later. He then looked at the white pony’s features to notice that the pony had wings and a horn. Alexander looked at the dark one to see the same features. The Princess' noticed his look of bewilderment and asked "Why are you looking at us like that." Alexander said "You have wings and a horn." Then the white ones horn lit up and made the light turn on then Alexander said "You also posses magic." The pony's laughed a little at this and the white one said "Why of course we are alicorns how would we not posses magic" But Alexander was more focused on the environment trying to find a way to escape now that he could see he noticed these pony's were either very wealthy or royalty.

Then something stood out in his vision a sword and a shield. The white pony then said "My name is Princess Celestia and this is my sister Luna." She made a motion towards the dark mare next to her. Then Luna asked Alexander "And what is thoust name and what art thou." Alexander looked at Luna and her sister these mares looked powerfull but Alexander had killed far worse creatures before. He answered back "I am a human and why the hell would I tell thou who I am. All thou knows is that your kiss ass knight knocked me out and here I am. Thou shall not know of me but a warrior." The alicorns looked at him in shock surprised by his anger only to see him break his bindings which sent the Celestia to shout "guards."

Alexander then grabbed the sword and shield off the wall and five noticeably smaller guards rushed in. Two of them had only wings and three of them had only a horn. He also noticed everypony in the room had a mark on their flank but he didn't really pay attention to what they where he needed to fight. To get out of there as quick as possible and find the king. Even though his wounds hurt he ignored the pain and light trickle of blood oozing from his multiple lacerations. He readied the shield and the sword to feel a light gust of wind on his nether region. He looked down to confirm he was wearing nothing but he saw his black clothing that he had worn underneath his armor near the door. He needed to get over there and grab his things.

One of the winged pony's charged him with a sword in his mouth Alexander blocked the sword with his shield and countered with his own sword. Striking the pony's wing with a disgusting sound the wing fell off and the pony fell to the ground. The others stared in shock then Celestia told the pony's "Get out I will finish this." The others then ran out and then the princesses horn began to glow. She picked up all the weapons and shields in the room Alexander then said "Well at least I will die a noble death."

Celestia swung out with four swords and hit Alexanders right leg and his left arm though he had blocked two swords this fight was not going to last long. Alexander looked at his wounds to see they where very deep and where already pouring out blood. He then looked at the princess with is eye's filled with his years of sorrow and hate he shouted and lunged at the princess. She shot all the shields at once toward him. This knocked Alexander off his feet. He slammed against the wall the princesses weak smile faded when she realized, he was still alive. She was to exhausted to use magic at this point. Alexander got up and walked over to her and said "I'm sorry for this."

He hit her in the face with the shield and her snout looked broken, she was out cold. He saw something in Celestia’s eyes that stopped him from killing her he saw caring and compassionate for her subjects but he needed to know if it was true or not Alexander rapped her nose in bandages, which he had taken from his shirt, and grabbed the guard he will find a way to heal him even if it meant the death of him. Alexander grabbed the shield and through the small winged pony over his shoulder but tied the pony up with his shirt but Alexander still through on his pants though he wasn't embarrassed by being naked but he didn’t want to shrivel up for it was cold. He grabbed the wing in one hand and put the shield over his back. He went out the window and shimmied down and across the building until he was on the ground.

He sneaked across the court yard and up some stairs he looked up at the night sky to see it was a beautiful starry night. He had just started to take in his surroundings the adrenaline of being trapped now escaped him and he was beginning to see this beautiful serine night. He had also gotten to the top of the steps he looked around not seeing anyone or anypony he then saw how far the fall was to the ground he could survive if he rolled but he cant do that with the pony on his shoulders. He saw the building across him was about 3 meter away and about 1 meter down he decided to jump for that instead. He moved back to the far edge of the wall ran forward for the edge and jumped. He reached the building but it was to slick and he slipped off then started to fall but noticed a notch on the wall he waited till his hands hit it and then he grabbed it stopping his fall. Alexander then saw his fall was only about ten feet from the ground he let go of the wall and fell. He landed badly on his ankle and heard a loud snap. He fell over holding his broken appendage Alexander needed to move though. So he got up surprisingly it didn't hurt that bad he started to limp he found a cart he got on and kicked the thing, with his good leg, stopping it from rolling down the hill. It easily broke but the cart was slow so he got out limped as fast as he could and then jumped off his good leg into the cart it moved allot faster now but there were guards up ahead. Alexander took out the shield and slammed it into the front of the cart.

As he neared the guards post they noticed the cart and moved out of the way and noticed who was driving it. they became enraged but saw where the cart was going and started to laugh. Alexander heard this and looked over the shield to see a cliff edge and a waterfall next to it but ahead of that he saw a forest he braced himself for the fall. The cart drove off the edge Alexander jumped for the waterfall and made it his fall was not slowed though and this worried him.

His fall was not long only about half a minute. but when he hit the water him and the pony he was carrying were at the mercy of the current. He couldn’t get back up to the surface but he looked for the pony who was drifting down which means that he was dying. Alexander swam down and breathed all the oxygen he had left into the pony and then grabbed the pony and the sand and pulled himself up. Alexanders lungs were starting to burn and he so desperately needed air but the surface was so close he would not give up. His vision was starting to turn black almost all of what he could see was black but his hand reached the surface and with one last burst of energy he leaped out of the water.

He landed on the bank and gasped for air his body responded to this with a majorly bad headache and a bright blur of light. He rolled onto his back and stared at the night sky for about five minutes before getting up he found a blue flower he went over and picked it up. It looked beautiful and disarming he wandered and then he picked more of these and rubbed them on another beautiful flower the flower quickly turned ugly. He then found berries he could tell were toxic do to the dead animals around it he took all the berry's from the bush and mashed it together with the blue flower and put it on his wounds, which made the wound feel magnificent, and then he put it pony's wing and body. He also checked the pony luckily he was still alive Alexander then ate some of the mush which tasted bitter but he still had to deal with it he also fed the pony. Alexander soon found a tree and climbed it he tied the pony to the tree and then he himself laid on a branch starring at the beautiful night sky. He muttered to himself "It's beautiful out here I could get used to this hopefully Celestia lets me live." He soon fell into a deep dreamless sleep. It was a battle to be remembered for the kings army had lost and was about to be extinguished forever. The kings general, covered in wounds, was on his knees with his legs completely imobilized, the enemys leader standing before him. The enemy knight standing before him said " Alexander you have fought valiantly your God would be proud and so would your king. If you choose to join our fources you will be allowed to live."
