- > I strain to rise, my wounds are only partially healed
- > the night sky is awake, crying
- What is the matter, Luna?
- > "Oh nothing, Anon, nothing you should concern yourself with"
- Tell me, I do not wish for my mate to be upset
- > "I've been having bad thoughts, that is all"
- > I do not question it further
- > I make my way back to Ponyville, and make my way home
- > a knock on the door
- > it is Rarity
- > "Anon, may I come in for a bit?"
- You are always welcome
- > "I have something to tell you anon"
- > she speaks in a higher tone
- > "We, the girls and I.....think you are the cause of all these attacks"

- > she stiffens, and chokes on tears

- > my heart shrivels
- > my sole glimmer of hope dies with those words
- > I slump to the floor

- > I cannot
- > She departs, leaving me alone in the dark room
- the gods, so eager to aid me, now laugh at my suffering
- > I walk in a daze, unsure of what should be done
- > I exit my house, and enter the cool night air
- > banished from my homeland, and hated in this realm
- > I walk to the park
- > I sit atop a hill, searching the night sky for answers
- > it is silent
- > I ponder what could be done
- > I draw my ceremonial dagger
- you have been used for many a sacrifice to please the gods, now, you shall sacrifice to bring sorrow to them
- > I hold my arm outward, pointing the blade to me
- > I hold for a moment, preparing myself
- > I thrust

- > "heya mister, whatcha doing?"
- > I drop the dagger
- > three small pony children stand before me
- > "why ya got a knife?"
- > too ashamed of what had nearly transpired, I didn't respond
- > "well?"
- I...I was going to put an end to my sadness
- > "how were you gonna do that?"
- I was going to cast a spell, so that the knife could cut the sadness out of me
- > they eye each other for a moment with a look of incredulity
- > they push the matter no further
- > "we could help you with your sadness!"
- how?
- > "Cutiemark Crusader Therapists!"
- > I am confused, but humor them
- > "follow us"
- > they lead me to a tree, in which is built a shack
- > we climb the tree
- > "lay here"
- > I lay on the couch provided
- > one of the three, a whitish child with a horn, brings a chair
- > the other two follow
- > "now, why are you upset?"
- I...I have been abandoned by my friends
- > they write onto a piece of paper
- > "why did they abandon you?"
- you remember all the attacks that happened?
- > "yes, were you involved with them?"
- They think I am
- > the yellow one with a bow speaks
- > "why would they think something like that!?"
- .....because I knew what the creatures were, they were from my home
- > the girls recoil in shock
- I did not intend for them to come here! I did not mean for my friends to be hurt! I try to protect them! I try to stop the monsters!
- > the orange one speaks now
- > "why did they come here?"
- I know not.
- > I begin to shed tears
- > the one with the bow tries to calm me
- > "aww..don't cry"
- > the orange one chimes in
- > "yeah! it's not your fault!"
- no one here holds any trust for me. They all think that I am the cause of these problems!
- > the white one speaks
- > "we don't think you are"
- > I look to the three
- > they show compassion in their eyes
- > "what were you really doing in the park?"
- I was going to end my sadness
- > the stare at me, unsatisfied
- I was going to take my own life
- > they tense at the thought, but don't appear dissuaded from their helping me
- > a voice calls out from the dark
- > "Applebloom! get down here, it's late!"
- > the one in the bow responds with an audible moan
- > she bids the other two, and I, farewell
- > "Sweetie belle! You too!"
- > the white one snorts, and follows the one with the bow down the tree
- > the fruit farmer speaks to her sister
- > "What were y'all doing up there?"
- > "I was talking with Mr. Anon"
- > Rarity scolds the white one
- > "don't you go near him, he's dangerous"
- > "No, he's not! He's kind, he cares!"
- > "He's brought us nothing but trouble"
- > the orange one looks at me, seeing how the words sting
- > she walks slowly over to me, and sits next to me
- > "I don't think you're dangerous"
- > I smile through my tears
- > the fruit farmer and the one with the bow now join in the arguement
- > "Now girls, y'all need to understand, he's the reason those things attacked us ponies"
- > "No he's not, he doesn't know why they came here, and he never wanted them here in the first place!"
- > "it doesn't matter if he wanted them here or not, the fact is that they were here, and they damaged so much, and hurt so many ponies because they were"
- > "He tried to protect y'all. He did the best he could to stop them!"
- > the orange one motions for me to go down
- > I climb down the tree
- > the argument falls silent
- > Rarity speaks
- > "oh...hello Anon"
- I could hear what you were saying
- > "oh, could you?"
- > the fruit farmer speaks
- > "look Anon, we're awful sorry, but it's the truth"
- no, it's not
- > "beg your pardon?"
- these little ones, they speak the truth, and I would like them to speak one more truth. Please, tell them what happened at the park.
- > the white one speaks, head lowered
- > "he was gonna kill himself"
- > Rarity and the fruit farmer look astonished
- I only wanted your happiness, I sought to protect you any way possible.
- > "but darling, you don't have to go about doing that"
- If I have no friends to live for, I could just end my life, and stop all the troubles I bring unto you
- > the two look at eachother for a moment
- > they lower their ears
- > "we didn't mean to hurt y'all that much, we thought y'all were the reason the monsters came"
- I have no control over it, and I would not ever wish harm to you
- > "we're sorry for causing you so much grief"
- May we be friends again?
- > "I reckon so"
- > I feel my lip quiver as the joy fills me to the brim
- > the three children climb onto me, cheering
- > I giggle as I wrestle with the little ones
- > I rise from the ground
- > I stare at the two of my friends for a moment
- > I lean in and hug them, which they readily accept
- Many thanks
- > the two call their respective sisters home
- > I wish the orange one a good night, and head to bed
