//------------------------------// // Life hates me doesn't it? // Story: Individuals // by fearanger //------------------------------// *imagination* The world of Equestria... Beautiful, bright and... dark... very rarely.... One thing why it's so dark? "Get back here thief!" Thieves... thieves and criminals in general. (The sounds of hooves beating against the ground.) This was a failed attempt... of a thievery against someone I hated... (A thud can be heard.) I never liked him... he never liked me.... Time has come for- (Sounds of a sword piercing the skin.) my passing... "Finally. Pain in the neck creep!" That's what you would think though... right? You hate my kind don't you! Well, that's what my life is... complete hatred... *reality* My name is... well... Albino. Until I can find my real name, I will stick to Albino... Anyway where were we? Oh yes... My name is Albino. I'm an Albino as my name would suggest. I'm a... thiever? I think that's what people call me. I steal from the inhabitants of- wait for it... Canterlot! Yes, that prissy town filled with good for nothing, full of themselves, snot nosed ponies who don't give a flying back about anyone! ... Yes! My grammar sucks right? Well, I WAS ABANDONED! Sure I went to scool but I left because of anoying bullies! They made me leave and I ran so they didn't kill me... is that even allowed? Meh, whatever. Anyway since I'm an Albino, no one cares bout my looks, personality or skills. They always put me down... *From now on, this story might switch between 3rd and 1st person talking. I'll warn you about it.* *3rd person* Albino was walking along the streets of Canterlot wearing the trademark robe he always wore to hide his identity. Why? To steal. As he was walking, he spotted a pony who was talking to a mare. He walked up and stealthily and quickly slipped his hoof into the Stallion's pocket on his fancy suit and took out a pouch of 10 bits. As he walked away, he hid the pouch in a very hidden pocket of his own in his robe and trotted into an Alleyway to count the bits. He took the pouch out of his pocket and looked inside it. " 2... 6.. 8.. 10... A bit generose this time..." He muttered. He closed the pouch up and put it back into the robe. But as he was, a guard was peeking downwards from atop a building and using a small magical stone talked into it which was showing a picture of another guard. "Have you found the white band yet?" Said the guard that materialized from within the stone. "Yes, he just stole from a stallion and hid in a nearby alley near the clothing store." Replied the guard watching Albino. "Wait, the clothing store? Can you find a piece of formal female clothing?! It's my marefriends birthday two days away and I was hoping of getting her a dress made by that unicorn at Ponyville. Rarity is it?" Ranted the guard a bit excitedly. But the guard didn't bother in replying and put the stone into one of the saddlebags he was wearing. (Must have been a strong pony to wear normal-sized saddlebags and still keep a good speed) Albino quickly ran out of the alleyways and started walking in a random direction with no idea where he was going. Soon he walked down a street that seemed almost deserted. "Huh.... Where is everypony?" Questioned Albino. Suddenly he felt himself surrounded with a dark aura and was suddenly lifted off the ground! "Never trust Albino's...." Said a voice coming from behind. It was coming from a unicorn guard in black armor and silver borders. He was the leader of the unicorn force in the Canterlot royal guard; Muramasa! Named after the ruthless and torturous interrogations and encounters he sets up. "So, Do you think it's great to steal from poor and defenseless ponies?" Questioned Muramasa. "Poor and defenseless? I fit under that catgory! Not these rich and cowardley ponies!" Yelled Albino. Who's only response is the tearing of his skin on one of his legs. a minor scratch yet being that it's forced it felt like agony. "Why do we have to care? We never liked your race in the first place!" Albino just snickered. "You do know your being blatently racist right?" His only response once again is the slight tear of his flesh on his forehead. Albino screamed so loud it echoed throughout the whole town of Canterlot and even through the castle which in turn alerted the princesses! "Shut up! No one makes fun of me... NO ONE! And who cares? Your forced skin kind are disturbing! Your all the same! And nopony is ever the same..." But before he could tear more flesh, another glow replaced Muramasa's. A dark blue glow which belonged to the one and only Luna! "Muramasa, what have I told you about injuring ponies? ..." Luna inspected Albino a bit closer. "And an Albino at that!" Said Luna who has definitely improved her vocabulary. "B-b-but Luna! He's the White Band! A thief! Patrols caught him stealing from an old stallion!" Luna was surprised to hear this. "Is this true White Band?" Questioned Luna in a serious tone. Knowing that he can't negotiate with a princess, he sighed and gave in... "Fine... yes it's true. But it's only because I don't live a life like others! They shun me and leave me in the dirt... I'm just... trying to make a living..." Luna kept her seriousness throughout his speech, but felt that something had to be done. "Okay then. I have a solution." Albino's ears perked up at this. "My big sister Celestia has a student in Ponyville named Twilight Sparkle. If you are to change your ways, then you can go and stay with her and her friends in Ponyville. Is that clear?" Albino quickly thought that if he doesn't respond now, he will lose his last chance of a good life! "Yes! Please Princess I will do anything!" Retaliated Albino. Luna smiled at this. "Okay then... You can stay in the castle tonight but tomorrow morning, you will take a carriage with my most trustworthy..." Luna stares at Muramasa grimly. "... Guards and from there, Twilight can give us weekly reports on your time there. Okay?" Albino quickly nodded and soon after the three ponies were transported inside the castle. *tomorrow morning* On the carriage Albino is looking down on the valleys that are directly below him. Ponyville only a mile away. It has been boring so far so Albino thought about lightening up the mood. "So... do you like Melons?" He asked to the Pegasus on the left. He grunted angrily. "No, I'm allergic to them now be quiet we're almost there!" Said the grumpy guard. And he was right... only half a mile to go... *Canterlot* Muramasa was trotting down his private quarters looking at all the contracts of every villain brought to justice by the royal guard... except one... "He must not know the truth... Galaxia must not know his origin..." Muramasa grinned an evil grin and started laughing madly... He will not stop until this Galaxia is brought to justice...
