Act One: Monsters (May Not Be Found)

[This poem was scrawled anonymously and submitted to the New Manehattan Times. Whether it was written by the Blood Mage of Manehattan is unknown. It is not known whether she was capable of composing poetry, as she never did ever confess to writing any. In the present day, it currently resides in the Canterlot Archives. For its vulgarity against Princess Celestia, it is illegal for any non-royalty to access or acknowledge its existence. Reprinting it and quoting it is strictly forbidden by Equestrian law.]

For heavens
hide all I do
in order to keep away from you
and this city hides all that is true

Sake catch me
if you really can put me away
never let my secrets see the light of day

Before I kill more
I will be out like a monster as you are all sleeping
and the Sun-Nag high upon her throne will be weeping

I cannot control myself
which is just as I desire
let Celestia herself light my funeral pyre

Author's Note:

Oh boy. A long Ice Star story? It's been quite a while. You're going to tell me that I can't use copyrighted lyrics on here. I know, none of those red lines are things with a copyright on 'em.

They're derived from these lines that were written at a real murder scene. Everything else is my own. Because that's where this is going. They were so bizarre that I just had to use them for something because they just stuck in my head.

Hoo boy.
