"Shining Armour you owe me a drink!" I shouted as I watched the running unicorn.

"Yeah sure!" He shouted back. Damn it! I just got stuck with Shining job for the day. Cadence needs him. Urgent! Sure... I turn and went out the castles doors. I wave back to the Crystal ponies when I see them wave at me. Man...Who would have thought the Crystal Empire would like me so much! Apart from Cadence...She likes my service and all. However she doesn't like my attitude... Also something about...stealing my Shining. Ew! I don't deal well with this lovely stuff.

After a short walk I arrived at my destination. My job...Well Shining ex-job was to guard the East corner of the Crystal Empire. Now how if that bad you ask? Well it's near the Crystal Empire school for fillies. Now I don't hate the Fillies. I love them and they love me. It's that most likely that I will get dragged in to help. I was just about to past the school. So close...come on.

I heard screaming. Damn it! I turned and saw an angry looking crystal mare dragging a filly across the ground. They stopped once they were far enough from the school. The mare let go off the filly and started to talk.

I sighed. I knew where this was going. The mare finished talking and looked up. She saw me and let out a small smile. Oh no... She was coming towards me. Crap! "Hey Andvari!" She called.

"Hey." I replied.

"I don't want to bother you but could you stay with that filly until she is ready to come back inside?" I raised a eyebrow. "Please?"

"Fine."

Her smile grew. As she turned and went back into the school while I went towards the filly. I sat down besides her while taking off my helmet. "Hey there little one you ok?" She didn't move nor did her gaze on the ground. I saw few tears hit the ground. "Hey don't cry now." She turn her gaze to look at me. Her eyes were bloodshot and full of tears.

"Andvari?" I nodded at her remark. In a second she flew into my arms. I hugged her tightly while she accepted with a flow of tears. We stayed there for a while.

"Hey...what wrong?" I asked. She raised her head.

"Well you see...I hurt Bulespear by accident...I feel so bad." She dropped her head back into my chestplate.

"Hey." I called out while lifting her head with my hand. "Did you mean it?" She shakes her head. "Are you sure?" She does the Pinkie pie promise. "Well if you didn't mean to then your not a bad foal." She stares at me for a while. "Here how about this." She looks at me with a confused grin. I take out a blank scroll and unsheath my sword. I then started to write with my weapon. I heard the filly smirking. "Look I don't have a pen so this will have to do." I sign the letter. "Now give this to your teacher and say your sorry to Bluespear. If you mean it then you will not be punish...Ok?"

The filly stared at me with confusion until it turns into a smile. "Thank you! Thank you! Your the best Andvari!" She cried. She gave me one last hug then ran towards the school.

Not much happened after that. The teacher thanked me and I played with a couple of fillies when they were on a break. By now it was dark and the fillies had already gone home and so has the teacher. I just watched the moon from there on out.

"Almost there..Yes!" I shout my time was up. I went towards the castle. I turn after reaching it and went into the the guards room. I entered and waved at the few guards in their. I took of my amour and went back out. Man the night sky is beautiful tonight. Good job Luna...

I look down at the floor. Luna...Celestia... I hate them so much!


"Andvari! Please wait! I did not mean for that to happen!"

"NO LUNA! I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!" I looked down at my almost burnt body. "CANTERLOT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT HORRIBLE TO ME SINCE I CAME HERE!" I saw Luna was taken back by this. Her ears had folded back onto her head. "I CAN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE! CANTERLOT IS NOTHING TO ME!" I threw my sword to the ground. It stuck out like Excalibur. Luna was about to say something. "NO DON'T TALK LUNA! I CAN'T HANDLE YOU ANY MORE!"

"Y..ou...don't mean that." She was on the verge of tears.

I let out a sigh. "I'm sorry Luna but I can't take it any more. Thank you and Celestia for taking me in after you brought me to Equestria after bringing me here by accident. HOWEVER!" My rage grew again. "YOU TREAT ME LIKE AM AN ANIMAL! YOU KEPT ME INSIDE CANTERLOT! YOU ONLY MADE ME A ROYAL GUARD OF DAY AND NIGHT TO KEEP ME UNDER CONTROL!"

"Andvari...please...friend."

I walked over to the runes. These runes would teleport me to the Crystal Empire. I remember when I was seen by a Crystal pony in the Royal castle. In a day the Crystal empire knew about me. Lucky they kept it a secret. They didn't tell the rest of Canterlot or Ponyvillie. I thought they did this cause they had to. No. They did this cause the Crystal ponies knew what I was going through. The feeling of not being able to fit in. Fear. "Luna..." I turn back to her. "I trusted you and Celestia from the very start. However I gave you my friendship to only have you two break my heart."

"Luna." She was about to fall to the floor.

"No..." She whispered.

"I Andvari is no longer a royal guard of day and night. I also am no longer...friends with Luna or Celestia." I took one step back. One step away from the teleporter.

"Please...Andvari...don't leave me." I shook my head at her remark. This was a heartbreaking move as she and I were good close friends. We'll we were. She went out for a hug to get me to change my mind while the flow of tears overtook her.

I did a villain move. I hate myself for doing it.

When she was about to hug me. I took a step back...into the teleporter.

I teleported away.

Seeing a flew things just before I left.

Celestia running into the room. Flowing with tears while she screamed for me and Luna.

Luna heart broken face.


Was it the right move? I always wonder but I can't go back now. Lucky with the help of Shining I became a guard for the Crystal Empire. Cadence wasn't with the idea but after seeing how her subjects loved the idea she had no choice. Cadence, Shining and their subjects swore not to tell anyone about me.

Celestia and Luna tired to talk to me. I refused. Cadence and Shining tired to get me to talk to them...even order me. I still refused. I hate them so much.

"Andvari?" I look up and saw Shining.

"Hey Shining."

"I heard about the job. Nice job with the filly."

"Hey Shining you free?"

"Yeah why?" He replied with a hint of curiosity in his voice.

"You owe me a drink."


"GO SHINING!" The crowd yelled

Well some how I challenged Shining to a drinking contest. Loser pays.

We were on our fifth shot. Damn pony had it in him. However little did he know that Equestria alcohol was very weak to a human. Even their strongest stuff.

I took my shot. He took his.

I took my shot. He took his.

I saw he was about to lose.

"Hey Shining?"

"Y*hic*eah?" he replied.

"Wanna make it interesting?" He nodes. "If I can down this hole bottle and you can't then I win. If I can't or you can then you win." I heard the crowd gasp. However I knew Shining to never back down to a challenge. He nodes again. I pick up the bottle and down it in one shot. The crowd gasp. Shining barely picks up his bottle with his magic. He puts it towards his lips. He takes a sip and...

He faints. I hear the crowd burst into laughter. I give a tip to the bartender, pick up Shining and head out of the bar.

Cadence is going to have a long chat with me and Shining.


"Now you relies that I am going to have to punish you. For this?" Cadence pointed towards her chambers where the sounds of Shining having the time of his life with a toilet.

"Hey it was a bro night." I replied.

"I can't let you go after poisoning my Shining." I was going to ask what was she on about but I knew what she meant once I thought of the bar."But how to do it?" Cadence sat on the floor while going into deep thought.

A while past while I just watch the Alicorn thought of an punishment.

She got up. "So I have finally come to an conclusion. You shall receive two punishments. One is a..." She trailed off. I don't like where this is going.

*WHACK*

What just happened?

I felt pain surge my left cheek. Did she just smack me?

"And two..." I focus back to Cadence. I don't like this... Cadence tilts her head to one side and drops both eye lids halfway. Were is this going? "You are to give me an massage."

"WAIT WH-" I tired to talk back but found myself being dragged by Cadence.

Here a fun fact. Humans to ponies...feel AMAZING to them. So a massage is like heaven giving you one. Plus she knew that I didn't like this touchy stuff. Unless it was for one mare...Not Cadence.


After...that moment and some...moans...you know the ones...I found myself free for the rest of the day as Cadence wanted me to...think of my punishment.

So I went to the one who always made me happy.

I walked toward a crimson blue house and opened the door. I continued walking until I reached the living room. There I saw a mare sleeping on a couch. Poor gal must of work herself to sleep. I went over and sat next to her. She instantly wakes up and looks at me. I swear this mare has some motion sensor. She smiled then throws herself into my arms. I accepted and fling my arms around her.

She nuzzle my chest and I hear her whisper. "I love you Andvari."

"I love you too Crystal Eclipse." We then spent a while staying like this. Just cuddling and sleeping. Now I know I say I don't like this lovely stuff but trust me. Love makes you do crazy things.

Love can make you do...crazy things.

Damn it!

I was waiting in the throne room. Waiting for Cadence to speak. "So...you may be wondering why I brought you here today." I nod my head. "Well...you see...I have been Invited to a party." I don't like we're this is going. "I am required to bring some guards with me. Me and my aunties agree this will be a great way for Equestria to get to know you." Dislike level rising. "So therefore, I Cadence command you to join me, Shining and three other guards to come to the party held in..." Why is she having trouble saying the place? "Canterlot." Great...

I would try to fight the battle but I know I'm going to lose. Since I have the feeling the whole of Equestria was on Cadence side. "I hate you Cadence."

"Oh you don't mean it." Cadence replies pouting.


I can't believe this was happening. Here I am sitting next to the driver/guard on a chariot. That is on the way to Canterlot. No doubt Luna and Celestia are up to something. Cadence, Shining and the two other guards ride inside. The two offered me to sit inside but I wasn't in the mood to be with them...after all I'm going to have to be with them the whole night...

I almost fell out of my seat when the Chariot stopped. "Let's get this over with." I turn to see the guard was talking to me.

"Indeed." I got off the chariot. Straight away I saw ponies staring at me. Looks of fear and confusion. However it seemed my amour kept them calm. I open the door to let Cadence and Shining leave while the two guards got out the other side. Cadence smiled but my gaze was on Shining. When he look at me I whisper the words. "You own me big time." He nodes.

I follow behind Cadence and Shining with a guard to my left. The other two are on each side. The two guards I mention earlier went ahead and open the door for us. I saw how the party was held in one of Celestia gardens. The two guards didn't join us as I remember they were made to guard the doors. While I was made to guard Cadence and the other guard was for Shining.

I notice a pink hoof was in waving around in my face. "Did you hear what I said?" I look and say Cadence was talking to me.

"No my queen."

"First of all I hate it when you call me that." Great she was pouting. "Second was I said you are free to do what you want. Just stay at the party and keep an eye out for any trouble."

Was she really letting me go? Wait this is the land of Luna and Celestia of course she would be safe. Duh! I nod at Cadence remark.

I head towards the south were there seems to be some drinks. I could do with one. I saw all type of ponies staring at me but with curiosity and not fear. I was about to pick up a drink when I heard the loudest squeak ever. I turn and saw a purple unicorn with a dress of blue. Wait have I seen her before?

Oh crap it's Twilight! She was coming towards me fast. Nope! I turn to my left and start to jog the down the path. I hear her calling for me but I kept on going.

A while past and after a little running I manage to lose her. Boy did she not give up! Hm...I seem to be in the place where Celestia animals are held. However I see none in sight. I heard some shouting going over in the distance. I couldn't help myself so I went over to the sound.

I manage to see from my hiding place. A yellow mare with a pink mane. She wore a green dress and had a fake butterfly pin her hair. However what caught my eye was she was on the floor. Shaking. Two royal day guards were near her laughing their heads off. Are they bullying her?

"And they call you a powerful mare? Ha! Don't make me laugh! Your a waste to carry an element!" That quote made me realise who she was. Fluttershy the bear of the element of kindness. One of the guards raises his hoof over Fluttershy head. Oh no you don't!

I ran towards the guard and grab his hoof. They all screamed even Fluttershy. "What are you doing do this poor mare!" My rage overtook me. "You better not be bullying her! Cause if you are I'm sure Celestia will be happy to hear so after I deal with you two myself!" The guards were shaking in the armour. I let go of his hoof. "Know get out of my sight. Now!" A puff of smoke was all that remade of the guards as they ran away.

I turn my focus on Fluttershy. She was shaking. "Are you ok miss Fluttershy?" She doesn't answer. Her gaze full of fear locked onto me. I let out a sigh. She was scared of me. I turn to leave her and start walking away.

"Wait." I turn back to see Fluttershy walking up to me. "T...thank...you" I could barely her what she was saying.

"No problem. I help all who need it."

She pokes her head out of her mane. "Can I umm. Ask a question? If that's ok with you." She is looking at me with the puppy eyes. Where is this going?

I said yes and answered her question which was if I like animals. After that we sat by a tree and broke out into a conversation. She told me about herself while I did the same. We talk more about animals and other things here and there. As we did this I notice she was moving closer and closer to me overtime. Until she was resting her head on my shoulder. This is Fluttershy right? The shyest mare? This wasn't the mare I was told of.

"Hey Andvari?"

"Yes Shy?" She blushes at the nickname I gave her.

"Are we friends?"

This questions threw me off guard. Are we? Should I? She didn't treat me like the ponies in Canterlot. She was nice and kind to me. She did also warm up to me quickly. "Sure Shy." What I heard threw me off guard again. I swear she did a squeak of an chew toy. I look down to see her hugging my arm with the biggest smile on her face.

Time went by again with us talking for a while. Somewhere in between Philomena came and sat on my knee. Fluttershy was shocked at first but after telling her that I looked after Philomena when Celestia couldn't she just smiled again. We continue talking about animals. Philomena left sometime after.

We were properly going to talk all night. However.

"Fluttershy where are you? The princess want to talk to us!" I knew this voice. Twillight. Fluttershy ask for me to come but I had to turn her down. She asked why but I told her I tell her a different time. She was walking towards the sound of her friend when she stop. She turn towards me. She was now running towards me with a smile. Before I knew it she jumps into my arm while hugging me.

"Thanks for being there for me." I hear hear mumble out of my chest. I let here down and she walks off again. Just before she goes out of sight she turns and waves at me. I wave back and she leaves.

Maybe this day isn't that bad after all.

I went back towards the middle of the party. A guard came running up to me saying I was needed by Cadence and Shining. I follow the guards into the castle. We arrive at two huge doors. I don't like where this is going. The guard tells me to enter to which I do.

I enter to see straight away Cadence, Shining, Luna and Celestia. All eyes are on me. Cadence points to a sit next to her. Nope! I turn and leave.

I could hear a barrage of hooves coming after me. I start to jog. I hear them calling for me to stop and come back. Nope!

I turn a corner and...crap. There standing was Twilight. Her eyes went wide while she let out an gasp. I hear the hooves behind me slow down. I was trapped. Only an window was In the room.

Twilight was walking towards me. I turn to see the three Alicorns and Shining smiling and coming closer.

Nope!

I turn to the window and jump out.


So want to know what happened after?

We'll I manage to get back to the Crystal Empire without the gang getting to me. Cadence was furious with me and gave me an hour talk. Shining gave me an hoof bump...oh right! Twilight was said to have banged her head on a wall for five minutes for letting me get away.

Love is in bloom

I could hear Cadence crying on the other side of the door. She was worried for her Shining. It's been a month now since he was given a task by Celestia. Shining sends her letters telling her that he is ok and it is just evil coming back for seconds. However she couldn't stop crying over him. Shining asked me to watch over Cadence before he left. Since he is a bro I accepted.

I couldn't handle hearing this any more I had to do something. I knock on her door. No answer. I test the handle. Not locked. I open the door and close it behind me. I almost slipped once I entered as the floor was covered in wet tissues. I saw Cadence in the middle of her bed. Muzzle in pillow.

I went over and sat next to her. "Cadence." No answer again. "Cadence look at me."

"Go...AWAY!!!" I almost jumped out of the window after hearing her act like that.

"Cadence I just want to say one thing...There is no need to cry. There is no need to fear. Shining will make it through. You know why?" I heard her mumble something. "Cause his love will keep him strong...and he is to stubborn to die." I couldn't quite tell but I think I made her smile.

After a moment of silence I took Cadence wish and went towards the door. "Wait..." I turn and saw Cadence looking at me. "Why are you helping me? I treat you with less respect because of how you made my Aunties feel and yet you still help me. Why?"

I went and sat next to her. "Cause Shining told me to look after you. He is my bro and we help each other. However Cadence. Sure you treat me differently but I didn't care as I knew why you were. Cadence...you didn't treat me how Celestia and Luna did." I can't believe I'm about to say this. She is going to kill me with lovely stuff. "You are my friend and I help my friends. I always put them before me...unless it's love."

Cadence was giving me the puppy eyes. "Really?" I nod. I could tell her gears in her head were turning. Before I knew it the gun was set off. She leapt into my laps and gave me the most spine breaking, air taking hug ever. I tired to get out but she didn't let go.

I'm going to kill that Shining.

Let's just say I became her...eh...huggy bear...Ew!


Days went by after the moment and Shining came back. In no harm at all... Cadence became my friend. Good right? Nope. Higher level of Lovely stuff. My lady mare went all over me after I told her. She kept calling a me an angle. I don't mind cause I love her and she loves me.

Now I was in the school telling the fillies one of my made up stories. They love every one of them. I had two fillies on my lap while the rest were on the floor watching and listening. "The villain was now on top of our hero! His laughter echoing through out the room. He raised his sword above our hero and."

"Tell us! Tell us!" They cried out.

"That's for part two." I gently drop the two fillies on the floor while I listen to their moaning. I love leaving them in suspense. The teacher then led them outside of the room while I proceed to go outside. The air smelled fresh. The sky was clear. The sun was shining...the sun...sun.


"Celestia...YOU DID WHAT!"


I need to stop thinking of those times... I have a party to get ready for.

After a while of walking I arrived at my destination. I went inside the place I have been many times. "Hello anyone home?" A flash of green suddenly jumped into my face.

"Andvari!!! Your finally here. I got you suit ready! Boy what you made me design must be my greatest work!" I knew that voice. My eyes adjusted to the blur and I saw miss Quick Hoof. Definition of her. Almost Pinkie Pie. Now I never met Pinkie and the other five. They are heroes of Equestria. However I heard about them and I'm sacred that she is going to jump out of nowhere and demand a late welcome party.

That's why I don't go to Ponyvillie...oh wait there are other reasons like... I don't want Rainbow to bother me since I met and befriended the Wondebolts. Don't want to deal with Rarity if she is like the Canterlot ponies. Fluttershy due to my...meat eater side. Applejack because of an mission. They needed some materials in the Everfree forest. However they couldn't enter it for some reason. So she asked Celestia who sent me and some guards to do the job. What they didn't tell me was that they pissed off the forest. The guards and I got what we came for to only escape with our lives...barely.

I was in hospital for a week while the others only needed a day or two. Because those ponies didn't tell me what we were getting was TOXIC!!! Why did an apple farm need this?

Lastly Twillight...I don't want to be a test subject. No but or why. Don't even say those words. I want nothing to do with it.

I thank my suit creator and picked up the bag containing my suit. I left and started walking towards my mare house.


"We come out on three right?"

"Yes dear"

"1..2..3!" Me and my mare jump out from the curtains to show each other our clothes.

"You look beautiful!" We both cried out. We giggle at out remarks but I couldn't stop starting at my mare. See wore a light blue dress with a white swirl going across. Followed with her hair tied up and glass shoes. It went so well with her blue fur and pink mane. I could tell she loved my suit. I had ask Quick Hoof to make it for me. A black suit followed with an outline of gold. Followed by white shirt underneath and white gloves. My lower half consists of black pants and black, shiny shoes. Made especially from me. I wore my special necklace that my mare had given me but it was tucked into my collar. It was a heart locket that had a picture of us hugging inside.

"My lady." I called while reaching out a hand. My mare giggled and put a hoof in my hand. I led her outside of my mare house and into the streets where the party was held. This party was made to Celebrate the defeat of king Sombra. It was held in the streets for all to enjoy.

The day was wonderful from there on out. We laughed, we smiled, we hugged, we teased but we did it together. Then one moment did it all. We were on the dance floor that was held near the Crystal heart. We were having fun. Then the song suddenly ends. We then herd the DJ say this was the last song of the night. Then a slow dance song came on.

I was about to go off the dance floor when I felt a hoof on my back. I turned and saw my mare with pleading eyes. I can't say no to her. She got up on her hind legs as I grab her hooves and rested them on my shoulders. I rest my hands on her hips. We let the music guide us as we stare into each other's eyes. Life was perfect now. The night was pure. The party was pure. My mare was pure. The song ended but before it did I gave her a kiss on her muzzle. She didn't hold back.

That was the best moment of the night. After that I took my lady home. I wanted to stay with her but my guard duties needed me at the castle tomorrow bright and early. I wished her night and gave her a quick peck on her muzzle. I fell straight to sleep when I hit my bed in the north guards resting quarter. Lucky a lot of the guards were asleep or out. So I could get a good night of sleep.

Nothing could go wrong. Life is perfect.


I woke up to the sounds of shouting. What is going on? I got out off bed and notice there were no guards inside. What is the time? I walk over to the close window. I open it to wish I didn't. I saw smoke and fire emitting from the south while hearing a guard scream. "We under attack! They are pushing through from the south!"

South...

South...

Doesn't some mare live there?

Crystal Eclipse!

Pure heart

Amour? Check! Sword? Check!

I kick open the doors and take in the sight. Guards were running towards the disaster while Crystal ponies ran away screaming. "Hey you!" I point at one of the running guards.

He stops and turns towards me. "Yes sir?"

I walk up to him. "What is going on?"

"Diamond Dogs are trying to steal as much as possible even if they have to kill!"

"Crap! Ok your free to go!" He nods and continue to run. I slowly run behind. If they harm Crystal Eclipse I swear to Celestia they pay.

"DUCK!" I focus back to the real world and duck in time as a flaming barrel was hurled over me. I arrived at the edge of the Crystal Empire. Guards were fighting Diamond Dogs on the street. "Sir!" I turn to see two squads of guards behind me. "What should we do?"

"Any information?"

"The Diamond Dogs on the street are buying time for the Dogs that are in our mares home and stealing their valuables. So far no deaths!"

"All right! You lot!" I point to the first squad. "Help these guards push back the Dogs while you ponies!" I point to the other squad. "Push them out of our homes."

"Yes sir!" They march out.

"AH!" That sounds like Crystal Eclipse! I turn to her home and run.

"No!" Her house was on fire. A Diamond Dog runs out carrying a bag. What caught my eye was he had blood on his paws. "YOU!" I draw my sword while he freezes. "What did you do!" He smirks at me. "Oh your gonna pay!" I run up to him while he draws his own sword. He braces for a clash but I slide past him and slash his knee. He cries out in pain but it's silenced shortly after as I had stabbed him in the throat. I push him off my sword and run inside.

"Crystal Eclipse!" The house was in ruin. I notice the blood trail leading upstairs. "No!" I run upstairs and into Crystal Eclipse room. "NO!" I stares at the figure on the bed. Crystal Eclipse. I run over. "NO! NO!" I quickly spot the cut on her neck. I felt my feet getting wet from the blood.

"Crystal Eclipse!" I flip her over and check her barrel. She was still beating but it's slowing down.

"Andvari?" I look back at her eyes. They were faded and her eyelids were slowly closing.

"Stay with me!"

"Andvari...I'm not going to make it."

"Don't say that! You will!"

"Andvari...I...will always love you." She lets out a final breath while her eyes shut.

"NO! DON'T LEAVE ME!" I notice the fire was getting out off hand. I pick up Crystal Eclipse and run outside.

"Sir they are holding! Wh-" He notices Crystal Eclipse. "Sir I'm so sorry."

I thanked the guard but something changed inside of me. I give Crystal Eclipse over to the guard. "Make sure she gets a funeral." He nods. I lean closer to Crystal Eclipse and kiss her. "I will always love you too."

"Sir what abo-"

I walk away towards the Dogs on the street. I notice one in the middle of the fight. "Fight brothers! They are weak and will not kill us!" He notices me. "Get him!" Two Dogs charge at me. I walk past them as they both stop. "What?" The two dogs drop to the floor while blood spills out. "Who are you?" I grab him by his throat.

Every other Dog fight stops fighting. "I'm going to kill you all." I throw him onto the floor and stab him in the chest. I pull the sword out and look at the other Dogs.

"Retreat!" I notice the shadows and look up at the sky. Equestrian forces.

"Sir! We want the same thing." I turn to notice every single Crystal guard behind me. "We will follow you to the end." I nod.

"Brothers and sister! You may leave but if you stay! We shall kill them all for what they done!" They all cheer and I lead them after the dogs.

"Stop!" Celestia, Luna and Cadence land in front of us. Celestia walks forward. "They are asking to surrender and we accept. They shall face their crimes in prison."

"I don't care." I watch as the 3 Alicorns flinch back. "We are going to kill them all." We start to walk forward.

"Stop! I order you!" I try to walk past but Celestia blocks me with a wing. "I will not allow you to kill them when they surrender!"

I back away and lift my sword towards her muzzle. "We will fight you if we have to!" The Crystal guards cheer.

"Stop!" Cadence shouts.

"We will follow him to the end!" They shout back.

"Don't make us do this." Luna walks forwards.

I notice the Equestrian troops surround us. Celestia horn glows. "What are you doing?"

Celestia start to tear up. "Y-Your hear is no longer pure. It is blacker then night." She lowers her horn. "Last chance." I shake my head. "The crime for a heart blacker then night is..." She couldn't say the rest.

"HEY!" I turn to see the Equestrian troops push the Crystal Empire troops back. "What are you doing?" The Equestrian troops stripped the Crystal Empire of the weapons and used magic to stop the unicorns.

Celestia turns towards the Luna and Cadence. They were starting to tear up. After a little shouting they turn to me. "Cadence and Luna if you would please." Their horn glows and chains spring from the ground and latch onto me.

"What!" I try to break free but they were too strong.

"Andvari for a heart blacker then night I here by sent you to..." She was struggling again. I felt my rage falling.

"No! You got the wrong idea!" I look at Cadence. "Don't betray me like them! Please! I thought I could trust you!" She started to tear up more.

"Andvari I here by sent you to."


Shining watched over the civilians. A guard came up to him. "Sir! The battle is over. We have one death!"

"Who have we lost?"

"Crystal Eclipse sir."

"Oh no."

"Andvari also has a small burst off 'Love lost' surge"

"Oh no!" Shining turns and runs. "I need to stop him before it makes him do something he regret!"


"Andvari I here by sent you to Tartarus."

"WHAT!" I struggle against the chains. I could hear the Crystal guards shouting for me. "Tartarus! Are you crazy!" Celestia horn glows and a portal opens behind me.

Cadence walks forwards. "Andvari until your heart is pure again. I hear by strip you off your rank." I feel the portal slowly pull me in.

I snapped. "YOU TRAITOR! I TRUSTED YOU! YOUR JUST LIKE THEM!" I point to Luna and Celestia. "WHEN I GET OUT I'M COMING FOR YOU 3!" I wanted to say more but I got yanked in while the portal closed.

Shining runs up to Cadence. "Cadence! Where Andvari?"

Celestia walks up to Shining. "Banished. He wanted the kill the Dogs even when they surrendered."

"Because he lost his love!"

"Don't worry Shining he be back when he is pure."

"W-Where did you send him?"

"Tartarus."

Shining couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Tartarus! He is not evil!"

"But honey."

"No Cadence! I'm sticking up for him! He would do the same for me! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING! TARTARUS! I-I!" Shining turns and walks away. He couldn't believe them!


The 3 Alicorns stood on the balcony. While the Crystal Empire civilians waited below surrounded by Equestrian guards. Cadence walks over to the edge. "We have won!" A cheer is heard. "They have been captured and shall face their crime! Any questions?"

"Where are the Crystal guards?"

"They are resting in the castle!"

Shining stood in the crowd. He leans close to a mare. "What did you do to Andvari?" He whispers.

The mare raises her hoof. "What did you do to Andvari?" The entire group gasp.

"Yeah where is he?"

"What happen to him?"

The crowd starts to get out of control. "SILENCE!" Celestia shouts to which they listen. "He has been banished. That is all you need to know." The 3 Alicorns watched in shock as every single Crystal pony lost their Crystal coat.

"WHAT!"

"WHY!"

"TELL US!"

"DIDN'T YOU HATE HIM?"

"YEAH!"

They watch as the crowd starts to get out of hand again. The Equestrian troops tried to keep it under control but were having trouble. Celestia pushes Cadence and Luna inside.


I slowly open my eyes only to jump up and shout. "WHERE AM I?" The memories of what just happened flash back to me. "Is this Tartarus?"
I looked around all I could see was darkness. "Am I blind?" I look down. "Nope. I can see myself. Wait..." I notice the chains were gone. "W-Where am I?"

A wonderful place.
