- >You are Anonymous, the only known human in all of Equestria.
- >This has been a subject of great debate among the ponies.
- >Some think you are a monster, certainly the fact that they found you in the Everfree Forest does not help this.
- >Others simply choose to ignore you, or pretend you do not exist.
- >As you walk through the town of Canterlot, not a single smile or happy pair of eyes meets yours.
- >The ponies that do not avoid your gaze choose to glare and mumble among themselves.
- >They hated you.
- >You were something so strange and alien, it offended them and their beliefs.
- >Every single achievement you had made in this town was an affront to their self security.
- >Every time you managed to succeed in something another had failed, it was a subject of malice for the ponies who had failed.
- >You had been lucky enough to find a job working behind the scenes for a business.
- >You were good with your hands, and your craftsmanship was considered the best in all of Canterlot.
- >The ponies simply did not know that you made their precious furniture.
- >As you slid the key into the lock of your home, quickly entering and closing the door behind you, the smell of cooking graced your nose.
- >You turned to see the one pony in all of Equestria who had given you a chance.
- >The very mare that did not judge your appearance, or personality.
- >The only mare you loved.
- "Honey, I'm home!"
- >You chuckled inwardly every time you said this.
- >The joke was lost on her, but it still raised your spirits every time.
- >"Well well, how was my human's day at work?"
- "A little bit of excitement actually. During my lunch break some mare freaked out when she saw me and had to be escorted away by the guards."
- >Your wife gave you a sympathetic look at this, and held her hooves out for a hug.
- >"Aww, sorry to hear that dear."
- >You accepted the embrace, and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
- "Bah, no worries. Made me laugh a little bit. I think I caught the one guard eyeing me suspiciously though."
- >Your wife nuzzles you before turning back to cooking.
- >You peered into the pot and smiled.
- "Is that what I think it is?"
- >"Cheesy potato soup."
- >It was one of your favorites.
- >You pulled a small box out of your pocket, and held it next to her head.
- >She eyed the package with interest and glanced at you with a smile.
- >"What's this?"
- "Happy anniversary."
- >She opened the box to reveal a golden chain with her cutie mark on it.
- >A golden rose resting in a vase.
- >Her gasp of joy touched your heart as she once more embraced you, this time with more force and enthusiasm.
- >Another uneventful day at work.
- >You never ceased to amaze your boss, who saw past his distrust of your appearance because of the profit you earned him.
- >The calm grace with which you slid the blades over the wood, hand crafting them into shape and fitting them together.
- >It was art that he could appreciate.
- >As you strode through the streets, you were greeted with the familiar glares and averted gazes.
- >'One would almost assume you weren't welcome' you mused to yourself.
- >Sliding the key into its place on your door, you strode inside.
- >As you locked the door behind you, you called out as usual that you were home.
- >The house was dark however, and no answer came.
- "Odd..."
- >Perhaps Flora had to stay late at her market stall today.
- >You flicked on the light, and fell to your knees.
- >There was a bloodied Earth Pony lying still on the living room floor.
- >Even through the blood that stained the coat and mane of the mare, you would recognize your wife anywhere.
- >The necklace you had bought for her last night lay broken and sitting in the pool of blood beside her.
- >As you crawled over to her and pulled her into an embrace you lost desperately felt for a pulse.
- >She was cold.
- >So cold.
- "F-Flora..."
- >Your voice trembled as her limp body hung against you.
- >You let out an animal howl of grief over your wife's body.
