Magic Blaze gets framed for an atrocious crime which he didn't commit, and gets sentenced to his new life at The Prison Of Peace.
Magic Blaze is framed for an atrocious crime that he didn't commit and is sentenced to life at the prison of peace, a rehabilitation security facility in which the prisoners are taught to be redeemed of the crimes they committed and learn to love life and each other. Magic is given his own sector in the prison due to his permanent incarceration and shares it with his new big sister, Golden Emerald. Stories are told and lessons are learned along the way at the Prison Of Peace.
"Magic Blaze, this court finds you guilty of murder and arson. You will be sentenced to the Prison Of Peace. When you arrive, the colour of your suit will determine your sentence. Case dismissed".
The judge slammed down the hammer and the trial came to an end. Magic Blaze, a light blue unicorn with a black mane, stood there on his podium in the centre of the courtroom. He was wearing a straitjacket, muzzle gag and a magic suppression hood was sealed over his horn. Now that he was found guilty of a crime he didn't commit, he knew that his horn would be cut off.
"I'm sorry Magic Blaze, I really tried my best. It's a good thing that you'll be sent to the P.O.P Maximum Security Facility and not a regular prison. It was nice getting to know you, enjoy your time there". Magic Blaze's lawyer kissed him on the forehead, patted her hoof on his back and then walked away. All Magic Blaze could do was sigh in his muzzle gag and stare at the ground, awaiting his imminent incarceration.
3 months ago, Magic Blaze was walking in anger after he was denied to take another book out of the Canterlot library due to late returns. After seeing some ponies run screaming from the direction that he came from, he turned around and noticed that the library was on fire. He ran back in panic to see if everypony was okay. When he got there, the entire library was burnt to the ground in ashes, none of the books were left, and only the corpses of those that died remained.
"IT WAS HIM!! HE BURNT DOWN THE LIBRARY!! ARREST HIM!!" some random pony shouted from behind. Magic Blaze turned around and the entire police force of Equestria was surrounding him. All of a sudden, a magic suppression hood was shoved onto his horn out of nowhere and he was tackled to the ground. Everypony around him was yelling at him in complete anger and disgust.
"You're going away for a looooooooong time you slimy scumbag!" exclaimed the police officer who put him into hoofcuffs and threw him into the police carriage.
For three months, Magic Blaze was forced into a straitjacket and consistently interrogated by Equestria's police force and federal investigation services. He was asked why he did it, what were his motives, and how did he come up with the plan. Magic Blaze always gave the truth, that he didn't know who did it, why he was blamed, or what the motives were of the murderer. Of course, no one believed him and he was beaten mercilessly every time. Eventually, Magic Blaze grew used to the beatings, but he still hated them, he also hated his straitjacket that he wasn't let out of for three whole months.
After a couple of months, before the trial, Magic Blaze hired a lawyer by the name of Cherry Star. She was a very kind and caring pony. She always comforted Magic Blaze and helped him after each weekly interrogation by cuddling him and kissing his forehead. She told him what to say and what not to say in the court room, and always did what was best for him.
The day of the trial soon arrived, and it was a disaster for Magic Blaze to say the least. Magic Blaze didn't get to have any say in the court room since he was fastened with a muzzle gag the entire time, since a new law was introduced for the Equestrian justice system that the lawyer must speak for the criminal. Cherry Star was the only pony who defended Magic Blaze, but everypony else was completely against him. Twilight Sparkle was so angry and upset that she even cried in the court room, causing everypony to boo Magic Blaze intensely. Magic Blaze was going through a living hell, and of course, he was found guilty by the entire jury and sentenced to the Prison Of Peace, where his sentence was soon to be announced.
Two days after Magic Blaze was found guilty, he was released from his straitjacket and went to the Prison Of Peace, his new home for who knows how long. He got a prison train from Canterlot to the middle of nowhere, where the Prison Of Peace was located, and was surrounded by other criminals, both mares and stallions. Since speaking was not allowed on the train and was threatened with an increased sentence, Magic Blaze never bothered to try and talk with anypony else.
After three and a half hours, the train finally came to a stop and the prisoners were released from the train carriage, linked together by chains on their hooves and necks. Once they passed the main gate into the facility, the alarms rang loudly and the gate was forcefully shut. The criminals were all sent into a waiting area, which was full of benches. The criminals were then all unlocked from their linked chains.
"Hello everypony, and welcome to your new temporary or permanent home, the prison of peace" a happy and kind light green earth pony mare wearing a light orange flower bandana on her raggy light red mane, a purple fullbody latex suit, and a silver peace symbol necklace announced.
"My name is Treehugger and here is the drill brothers and sisters, you all need to sit down on these benches, and when your name is called, you will go into the other room where you will be fixed and suited, and then go into the next room, where you will then wait for everypony else to enter, and then the explanation presentation will begin. Is this understood? Coolio! Now let me give you all a kiss on the forehead because you're all my new brothers and sisters!".
Treehugger then walked up to everypony and each gave them a smooch on the forehead. It reminded Magic Blaze of Cherry Star, his lawyer, who always used to give him forehead kisses.
After each prisoner received a kiss on the forehead from Treehugger, they all sat down on the benches and awaited their turn. Magic Blaze waited for an hour, and 6 prisoners were called into the room before he was, so he knew that whatever happened in the room, it would take 10 minutes for each prisoner. He didn't know much behind what was going to happen behind that door, but he was aware that his horn would be removed, since magic and flying were not allowed in prisons, and any pegasi prisoners would have their wings removed.
"Magic Blaze!" Treehugger announced.
Magic Blaze sighed and then walked over to the room. Once he got into the room, the door locked tightly behind him.
"Please climb into the metal chamber in the centre of the room and remain still as it closes over you. If you do not comply, your sentence will be extended and you will spend one month in solitary confinement. Understood little bro?" Treehugger explained.
"Yes ma'am" Magic Blaze replied.
"Call me big sis" said Treehugger
"Yes big sis" said Magic Blaze.
Magic Blaze climbed into the metal chamber and was restrained inside by Treehugger and a male bodyguard. It was sealed tightly and securely so there would be absolutely no chance of escape.
As Magic Blaze remained still in the chamber, the bodyguard poured a bottle of purple liquid latex inside the chamber through a chute at the side and it went all over Magic Blaze's body below his neck, covering everywhere and not missing a single spot. Magic Blaze was unsure what was going on and felt nervous. All of a sudden, the inside of the metal chamber violently shook his body about and he grinded his teeth together to help keep his sanity, as he was going through immense pain below his neck. Suddenly, he felt tired and went to sleep, and couldn't control himself any longer.
Five minutes later, Magic Blaze woke up. He was out of the metal chamber and lying on the floor. Everywhere below his neck felt tight and restricted, and he stood up hazily, feeling quite dizzy.
"Your new look is complete little bro. Look in the mirror next to you" said Treehugger.
Magic Blaze did what he was told and turned around to look in the mirror. He was wearing a purple full body latex suit and a silver peace symbol necklace around his neck like Treehugger. Magic Blaze looked up and noticed that he no longer had a horn, he was now an earth pony.
"I was expecting this to happen. Shame that I can't use my magic anymore" sighed Magic Blaze as he rubbed the area on his head where his horn used to be.
"Sorry little bro, no magic and flying are allowed in here, so you've gotta be an earth pony for the rest of your life" Treehugger explained.
"Rest of my life? So I won't be getting my horn back when my sentence is finished?" Magic Blaze replied.
"Your horn has been removed for good, and even if we put it back on, it couldn't perform magic anymore so it'd be pointless. Sorry little bro, you're just gonna have to put up with being an earth pony from now on. You'll get used to it" explained Treehugger as she hugged, nuzzled, and kissed Magic Blaze on the cheek.
"It's time to go into the next room. Wait there for your other brothers and sisters to finish their initiation and then I'll be giving a presentation on how to handle your new life here. I'll be about three more hours, so just be patient and try meditating or talking to your brothers and sisters waiting in that room until I'm done" Treehugger continued explaining.
Magic Blaze sadly nodded his head in compliance and went into the room. As he walked in, it was a big theatre room with a huge cinema screen. Magic Blaze sat down at a random seat away from the other prisoners. Some of the prisoners were talking to each other and some others were just sitting by themselves either napping, meditating, or just sitting in silence staring at the screen. They were all wearing a suit and necklace like Magic Blaze was, but only 2 of the suits were purple like his and Treehugger's. He saw two purple suits, one yellow suit, two blue suits, and one pink suit. Magic Blaze knew that for the next three hours, he'd have to sit and wait.
Two and a half hours passed and all of the criminals were now in the theatre. They were all talking amongst themselves, asking what would be happening next, and what movie or show they'd be watching before they entered the main prison. All of a sudden, Treehugger walked onto the stage.
"Greetings my new Canterlot peace siblings. You've all completed your initiation and are ready to start your new time or life here at the Prison Of Peace. Before the presentation begins, I'm gonna have to ask you all to wait just 30 more minutes so I can prepare my presentation. For the next half hour, try and talk with your brothers and sisters, because you'll be spending at least 1 year with them starting today. I love you all from the bottom of my heart, see you shortly".
Treehugger then left the room and most of the other prisoners started talking to each other and getting to know one another, some of them were even hugging. Magic Blaze just sat by himself and waited patiently for how long his sentence would be.
Magic Blaze didn't know at that point....that he would be here for the rest of his life....
A half hour had finally passed and Treehugger walked up to the stage with a microphone speaker. She was about to explain everything.
"Hello everypony. First of all, I apologise for taking so long but I'm now about to start the presentation. Please listen very carefully to everything I'm about to say, because this will not be repeated a second time in this show. If you have any questions, then please book an appointment with me after the presentation has ended. Is that understood brothers and sisters?"
Everypony in the audience nodded their head, understanding what she meant.
"Okey dokey! Then let's get started! First things first, I'm going to explain what this place actually is. This is the P.O.P, The Prison Of Peace. This place is an actual secure correctional facility that is fifty square miles wide. There are over two hundred thousand convicted criminals here currently serving their sentence, five hundred of them are here for the rest of their lives, and a few of you in the audience here today will be here for good, but I'll explain that later on in this presentation. I'm sorry to keep you on hold like this, but there's essential information that I must explain beforehoof".
Magic Blaze gulped. He was concerned that he would be one of the few ponies that would be given a life sentence. He then calmly breathed in, knowing that there was nothing he could do if that was the case, and he'd just have to grin and bare it. He knew that he would get visits from family once a month, so it wouldn't be like he'd never see them ever again. Magic Blaze's family believed that he committed the crime and were disgusted with him, but still promised to visit occasionally before he was sent away.
"The Prison Of Peace was founded 15 years ago by Princess Celestia herself. After the princess of friendship Twilight Sparkle, and her friends reformed Nightmare Moon back into Princess Luna, who had been previously incarcerated into the moon for a thousand years, Princess Celestia decided to open a facility were prisoners could be reformed into peaceful beings and not just going through a living Tartarus day in and day out. Everypony here will reform from their previous misdeeds into a pony who believes in tranquility and friendship. The worse the crime you committed, the longer you will be here for. Those of you who are here for life will actually be isolated from the others, and will only be accompanied by an older sister, who will take care of you for the rest of your life".
Magic Blaze was a tad shocked by this. He was fairly unaware what The Prison Of Peace truly was, but he didn't know that it was a place for reformation. After Treehugger explained what would happen to permanent residents, he was wondering if that would happen to him.
"So that's the history of the P.O.P explained, now here are the rules. The first rule, and the most important rule is absolutely NO DATING. Everypony here is family, we are all brothers and sisters, and the suits that we wear connect our blood, so if you're dating or have romantic feelings for somepony else here, you are committing a crime of incest. Platonic love is strongly encouraged, but romantic love is strictly forbidden. You can only kiss another pony on the head, cheek, ears, nose, or hooves, nowhere else. Anypony caught having romantic feelings for another pony here will be moved into a different section of the prison away from them, so it doesn't get out of hand. If anypony is caught dating, you will be forced away from each other and put into solitary confinement for one month. If this happens a second time, you will be put into solitary confinement for one year. If this happens a third time, and thankfully this has only ever happened once and hopefully will never happen again, you will be placed into solitary confinement for the remainder of your time here, and won't be released until your sentence has ended, so if you're a permanent prisoner here, then you will be left in solitary confinement for the rest of your life. Please, it's very important to remember this rule. Solitary confinement is absolutely horrible, and I really don't want anypony to end up in there, so please only love each other platonically, not romantically".
Magic Blaze found this to be quite disturbing. So if you were caught going out with another pony at the facility, you were sentenced to pretty much this place's version of Tartarus for at least a month. Thankfully, Magic Blaze was a good actor and good at hiding his feelings, so if he had a crush on someone here then he would keep it to himself and not tell anyone. Celestia help anypony here who was only into romance.
"The second rule here is NO ESCAPING. Okay, this one is very obvious. If you're caught trying to escape the facility, one month in solitary confinement. Second time, one year in solitary confinement. Third time, solitary confinement for the remainder of your time here. The third rule is NO ATTEMPTED REMOVAL OF CLOTHING. What you're wearing right now cannot be removed from your body, and if caught trying to remove the necklace and suit, you will be forced to comply with the solitary confinement rules. The fourth and final rule here is NO NASTINESS. This includes raising your voice, bullying, swearing, and selfishness. The same solitary confinement rules also apply for this, so please no nastiness during your time here, since this is the prison of PEACE. So those are the four rules. NO DATING, NO ESCAPING, NO ATTEMPTED REMOVAL OF CLOTHING and NO NASTINESS. Is this understood?"
Everypony nodded to the rules.
"Good. Now for the final part of the presentation where I'll be explaining the suits and necklaces you're all wearing".
This was the part that Magic Blaze was the most curious about. Since the suit and necklace had been put on him, he'd been dying to know what the reason for wearing them was for.
"Let me start off with the necklace. It's the symbol of the P.O.P, and a permanent reminder that you went to this place or still a part of it. The necklace is attached to the back of the neck with strong magic, so if you plan on sliding it off your neck at any point, not only will you be disappointed with the results, but you will be punished, since your clothing is vital. You will be wearing your suit and necklace for the rest of your lives, so that ponies will know that you served time here at the P.O.P. The suit also provides you with a lengthened lifespan of up to 200 years and doesn't require you to consume food or beverages. That's why there's no cafeteria here, you don't need to eat and drink here, so you'll never go hungry or thirsty."
That disappointed Magic Blaze and most of the other ponies in the crowd, who were looking forward to seeing what food and drink they'd have here.
"I'm sorry about that everypony, we have to do what we can to save money. Now, here is the final part of the presentation, I will be explaining what sentence you'll each be serving, so be prepared for this. Whatever happens, you'll be strong and get through it. This is a nice and peaceful place, and I'm guaranteed that if you follow the rules and remain optimistic, you'll absolutely love it here."
Magic Blaze was now growing in nervousness, he had no idea how long he'd be here for, but he was prepared for the worst.
"Yellow suits, you will be here for one year. Pink suits, you will be here for five years. Blue suits, you will be here for fifteen years. Green suits, you will be here for twenty five years. Brown suits, you will be here for thirty years. Red suits, you will be here for forty years. Orange suits, you will be here fifty years. White suits, you will be here for seventy five years. Black suits, you will be here for one hundred years. Purple suits, you are permanent prisoners, you will be here for the rest of your lives."
Magic Blaze sighed. He knew it, he damn well knew it, he was here for life. There were mixed reactions from the prisoners. Some were relived with their surprisingly short sentence, some were indifferent and fine with what they got, and some were really upset with their ridiculously long sentences that they started crying.
"I will repeat this one more time, so you can hear me properly! Please all be quiet so those who didn't hear can hear their sentences!" Treehugger shouted.
"YELLOW SUITS, ONE YEAR!"
"PINK SUITS, FIVE YEARS!"
"BLUE SUITS, FIFTEEN YEARS!"
"GREEN SUITS, TWENTY FIVE YEARS!"
"BROWN SUITS, THIRTY YEARS!"
"RED SUITS, FOURTY YEARS!"
"ORANGE SUITS, FIFTY YEARS!"
"WHITE SUITS, SEVENTY FIVE YEARS!"
"BLACK SUITS, ONE HUNDRED YEARS!"
"PURPLE SUITS, LIFE PRISONERS!"
As Treehugger shouted the suit colours and their sentences, the diagram of the screen showed the results as well. Meanwhile, amongst the crowd, there was happiness, sadness, and content.
"Thank Celestia! I'm only gonna be here for a year! I thought I'd be here for at least five years for stealing from the bakery!" exclaimed a light brown stallion wearing a yellow suit in happiness.
"Fifty years huh, I guess I was expecting that type of sentence for robbing a bank and putting that couple in a coma. I wonder if I'll be redeemed by then" said a white mare wearing a orange suit as she laid back in her seat, looking up at the ceiling and simply accepted her fate.
"IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!! IT WAS HOMICIDE!! I DIDN'T MEAN TO KILL MY HUSBAND!! PLEASE CHANGE MY SUIT COLOUR TO AT LEAST BLUE!! I NEED TO EXPLAIN PROPERLY TO HIS FAMILY THAT IT WAS A MISTAKE!! I CAN'T BE HERE FOR THE NEXT CENTURY!!!" yelled a light blue mare in tears wearing a black suit.
Two friends who were both mares stared at each other. The purple mare was wearing a pink suit and the white mare was wearing a blue suit. "So you're gonna be here 10 years longer than me, huh? Makes sense since I only kept watch on the mission" said the mare in the pink suit. "Yep, that's what it looks like. Not to mention that I also accidentally knocked that guy out" said the mare in the blue suit.
"Everypony who is not wearing a purple suit, please wait outside the door to your right, you will be called back in 2 hours so you'll be sent into groups in different sectors."
After every other pony left the room. Only Magic Blaze and two other ponies, one red mare and one blue stallion remained in the theatre.
"So my brothers and sister, it looks like you'll be here for good. Welcome to your new permanent home, the Prison Of Peace! Now tell me, each of you, what did you do to end up here. I'm curious to know what crimes you committed to end up as permanent residents of this facility! Let's start with you, little bro!"
Treehugger pointed her hoof at Magic Blaze.
"I was falsely convicted of an arson attack on the Canterlot library and the mass murder of twenty five ponies" Magic Blaze responded.
"Wait, that was you?! No wonder you're here for life then, I'm not surprised at all. Surely this place will redeem you and you'll find true peace within yourself"
Magic Blaze couldn't be bothered to respond so just kept quiet. Treehugger then pointed her hoof at the white mare.
"I was the head of a multi million bit scam company. I scammed disabled and disease ridden ponies into giving me lots of money so I could spend it on getting myself a mansion and a cool looking yacht. I was then caught by the family of one of the ponies I'd scammed who died in the hospital after taking one of my fake pills that unintentionally made him worse. I was then accused of murder and fraud and well, now I'm here for the rest of my life apparently" said the white mare.
"That is truly selfish and sickening, but I also hope the best for your redemption my sister"
Treehugger then finally pointed her hood at the stallion in the room.
"I murdered a mare, cooked her body, and then force fed it to her husband and two daughters that I had tied up in cages in my basement."
Magic Blaze, Treehugger, and the white scammer mare all looked at the stallion in complete disgust.
"You need help, bro. Seriously. It's a good thing that you're here, and it's no surprise that you're a permanent prisoner. If you were a black suit or less, I'd talk to the heads of raising your sentence".
After that remark, Treehugger shook her head and cringed.
"Anyway, let's move on from that. Magic Blaze, you're first, you come with me little bro. You two stay here, I'll take you to your own personal sectors after Magic Blaze".
"Wait, own personal sectors?" Magic Blaze asked. "Are us permanent prisoners getting special treatment?"
"In a way you could say that, yes." Treehugger replied. "Now follow me, your new big sister is waiting for you, and she can't wait to finally meet her new little brother"
Treehugger kissed Magic Blaze on the forehead and then showed Magic Blaze the way to his own sector.
Magic Blaze had little to know idea what would soon be in store...
Treehugger kissed Magic Blaze on the forehead and showed him the way into his sector. After then lightly shoving him in, she locked the door tightly behind him. Suddenly, the speaker turned on.
"Bye little bro, I'll check in on you next week to see how you're doing. Your new big sister will be waiting for you in your sector. Love you bro, take care". Treehugger then turned the speaker off and went back into the main theatre to take the other two ponies to their own sectors.
In front of Magic Blaze was a corridor with another door at the end of it. He walked up to the door and tried pushing it forward to open but with no luck.
"Please place your hoof on the metal plate to the right of the door." a robotic voice instructed.
Magic Blaze did what he was told and put his hoof on the metal plate.
"Purple suit. This is your correct sector. State your name, age and sentence." the robotic voice continued to instruct.
"Magic Blaze. Twenty three years old. Life imprisonment." he answered.
"Voice operations and personal detail information complete. The only time you will be required to leave your sector is for visits from family members, but your big sister must accompany you. You may now enter." the robotic voice concluded.
After the robotic voice was cut off from the speaker, the door in front of Magic Blaze slowly opened, and once he walked through, the door locked tightly behind him. When Magic Blaze saw what was in front of him, he couldn't believe his eyes.
In his sight stood a large forest, full of nature and beauty. There were many trees, plants, bushes, grass, insects, small animals, as well as a fake blue sky on the top of the ceiling and a river, waterfall and cave. He couldn't believe it, this was a prison!?
After taking it all in for a moment, he took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and then went on his quest to find his apparent new "big sister" that Treehugger was talking about. Magic Blaze didn't know much about what these "big sisters" meant. He was unsure whether they were their wardens of the sector, their mentors, or just another prisoner who happened to be female. One thing was for certain, he knew that he'd have to put up with her for life, so he hoped she'd at least be a nice pony.
After exploring almost all of the forest, he couldn't find her, and ended up finally by the waterfall and cave towards the back of the extremely large room. When he arrived at the waterfall, he finally found somepony else meditating next to it.
She was a cream coloured pony with a golden brown mane wearing a purple full body latex suit and a silver peace symbol necklace like Magic Blaze was, but on the back of her suit, the words "permanent volunteer" were imprinted onto it.
Magic Blaze took another deep breath and decided to walk over to her so they could start talking. He then stood right next to her as she was meditating with her eyes closed and hooves put together.
"Um, hi, I'm Magic Blaze. So are you my new big sis-"
"Shhhhhh" the pony interrupted him with a calm soothing voice. "I'm meditating".
She then patted her hoof on the ground next to him. "Please be patient and come meditate with me. When we're done, we'll talk".
Magic Blaze sat down on the ground next to her and the pony then put her hoof around him and pulled him into a tight hug, before then kissing him on the cheek.
A few hours had passed, and Magic Blaze was still meditating with the other pony as she still held him in a tight hug, and she would kiss his cheek or forehead every few minutes. There had been many times where he just wanted to break out of the meditation and desperately want to know the answers for the questions he had. He feared that if he broke out of the meditation, then he would be put into solitary confinement, so he simply went along with it.
All of a sudden, the pony stopped meditating.
"Meditation time is now over, you may now stop." she announced.
Magic Blaze then followed suit by stopping meditating himself.
"Was that hard for you?" she asked.
"A little bit, because I really want to ask you some questions" Magic Blaze replied.
"That was a test I just gave you, which was all about patience, and I'm happy to say that you have passed. Well done little bro" the pony said as she gave him a heartfelt smile.
"So you are my new big sis, I was right" said Magic Blaze.
"Correctomundo. So are you Magic Blaze? My name is Golden Emerald, and starting today, I'm your new big sister for life, so you better get used to me" she said with a small chuckle at the end.
"It's nice to meet you, Golden" Magic Blaze replied with a content beam on his face.
"So, what crime did you commit that caused you to be here for good?" Golden asked.
"I was accused of a crime that I didn't do, I was framed for burning down the central library in Canterlot and murdering twenty five other ponies" Magic Blaze answered.
"So you're saying that you didn't do it?" asked Golden Emerald.
"I most certainly did not!" Magic Blaze shouted, looking offended. "I adored that place, and I don't know why I was accused of doing something so horrible. I swear, if I ever find the pony that framed me, I'll-"
"There's no point" Golden Emerald harshly replied. "This is one of those prison's were its improbable to repeal your case. The Equestrian justice system is unbelievably tough, and what's done is done I'm afraid. You're here for good and it's impossible to go back. You've got to accept your fate little bro."
Magic Blaze sighed, he knew she was right, but he really did wish that he could find who did it, or find out the reasoning for the fire.
All of a sudden, the fake sky in the ceiling turned from day to night.
"It's time to go to sleep, little bro. Come with me and we'll get you into your sleepsack for the night" said Golden Emerald.
"Wait, a sleepsack? Why do I need a sleepsack?" Magic Blaze asked in shock and confusion.
"Sorry bro, it's required for all prisoners, not just you. You have to sleep securely in a sleepsack so you can't escape in the middle of the night" explained Golden Emerald.
"Trust me, I'm not going to escape, I promise" said Magic Blaze.
"I believe you, but it's the rules of this place. Sorry, I only follow and enforce the rules, I don't make 'em bro".
Magic Blaze sighed and accepted it. "Okay, fine. I hope it won't be too uncomfortable. Do you have to sleep in one too?" he asked.
"Nope. I'm a volunteer worker here so I don't need to. I've volunteered to spend the rest of my life with you and reform you into a more peaceful pony. I'll just be holding you close to make sure you're alright throughout the night" Golden Emerald smiled at Magic Blaze.
Magic Blaze gave back a sad smile. He then entered the cave with Golden and found the sleepsack in the centre of the cave.
"Get in little bro" Golden instructed.
"Yes big sis" Magic Blaze replied.
Magic Blaze then got into the sleepsack and lay on the ground. Golden Emerald tied the sleepsack tightly around his body and placed the metal collar around his neck which closed securely.
"The collar will unlock itself in 9 hours and will sound off an alarm which will wake us up. I'll then untie you and we can start our first day together, and we can start to get to properly know each other. That okay, bro?" Golden Emerald explained.
"Yes big sis" a tied up Magic Blaze replied.
"Goodnight little bro, love you" Golden Emerald said with a smooch on his forehead.
"Goodnight" Magic Blaze responded.
As Golden Emerald hugged Magic Blaze's sleepsacked body tightly to prevent him from escaping, Magic Blaze stared upwards and thought to himself about his new life.
A brand new life was about to begin for both Magic Blaze and Golden Emerald.
