154. Prince vs Noblemare... (Horror)

The Noblemare knew where she was.

She knew she wasn't welcome here.

Only her determination to see this through - to crack the impenetrable whatever it was that kept the Prince safe - kept her from fleeing then and there.

"Prince," she cried, pounding upon the Gate of Dawn with her forehooves. "Come out! I would parlay!"

Then...

"Awk-!"

... she and her retinue of Guards were shifted into Weyrhome, wherein the Prince held court.

When seeing the Prince, one should normally first wait to see if he is awake. Then, one should wait to be introduced by Weyrpony Khorvas, the Head Archivist, and the Prince's Majordomo, if you will.

The Equestrian Noblemare did not. Instead, she rudely dismissed Khorvas, and then - pulling an official looking scroll from her saddlebag - the mare proceeded to state, "Prince Auryn, illegal Alien made honorary Citizen of Equestria. You are hereby charged with Dereliction of Duty, for failing to uphold your Civic Duty - that is, to stud for the Mares of Equestria. You are sentenced to Gelding, and thereafter you shall be put to hard labour for a period of no less than twenty years! Seize him!"

Her guards did not move.

Could not move.

Each was being... we shall politely say, 'restrained'... by a monstrous Unicorn Pony.

They were utterly terrified, beneath their fur.

They knew that, if they moved...

They would die.

It was then, the Noblemare realized that Prince Blueblood - the one whom had tried to orchestrate this farce - was truly an idiot.

It was then, the Noblemare realized just where she was. Just who she faced. All around her, she espied not only monstrous Super Unicorns - the Templar whom guarded the Prince - but upon the throne she espied three alicorns, his mysterious hoof-maidens, whom were looking at her like she was meat. Even worse, the Noblemare espied treeponies, monstrous pegasi with their distinctive raptor-like muzzles and gigantic eagle and condor-like wings. About them, other freakish unicorns with two, even three horns spiraled with each other in double and triple helix. Titanic Earth Ponies, their fur literally stone, grass, or soil... Scattered among them, titanic Alsatian-Breed Diamond Dogs, rippling with muscles that just weren't possible. And there, gryphons, and hippogryphs. And finally, utterly horrifying changelings sporting unnatural metal and flesh limbs unseen in Equestria--and the cybernetic, mutant monster that was their Queen.

They... looked hungr-- did one just look at her and lick its lips?!

The Noblemare near shit herself. But then, finally, the Prince's eyes opened, glowing with power; a line from a film the Noblemare had seen resounding in her head as she stared, transfixed, "I looked into its Dead Lights... and I wanted to be there..."

Soon, it wasn't the Prince, but his hoofmaidens who spoke for him, their eyes aglow, as each spoke a single word as His Voice.

"I" "Forgive" "You."

"You" "Know" "Not."

"What" "You" "Do."

"Your" "Guards" "Will."

"Be" "Released" "With."

"A" "Warning" "But."

"As" "For" "You."

"Look" "Behind" "You."

The Noblemare screamed as she felt something cold, something wet slither into her ear, whirled about...

... and promptly defacated as she beheld Nightmare Moon in all her glory, the Death Mare gazing down upon her with chilling indifference. The Black Alicorn leaned down, softly whispered into the Noblemare's ear.

"Thinkest Thou to geld Mine Foal? Thou shouldst... think again..."

One by one, the lights of Weyrhome flickered and went out. The Noblemare couldn't take it anymore; she'd been hit with too many shocks at once. Her mind snapped, and she started to screamandscreamandscreamandSCREAM...

As the final light died, abruptly, the sound ceased.
