- >You did everything you could.
- >Even dealing with him, though gendering the Outsider is as laughable as making a deal with him.
- >Using his gifts, and your skill you were able to swiftly deal with the corruption that led to the Empress' death.
- >However, you weren't peerless nor limitless.
- >Time made you wise but slow
- >Despite never wetting your blade, you eventually fell.
- >Emily was able to succeed where you failed, but that knowledge was the last kindness shown to you
- >You were his plaything in the Void.
- >Not quite bored with you he puts you into situations to see how you will act.
- >Sending you to every corner of world he touches to live again and do whatever bidding would entertain him.
- >Luckily, or unluckily you missed you next destination.
- >Something happened inside the Void, and he became silent.
- >You've gone beyond even the Void's reach, and broken through into the realm of another.
- >There are many "Voids" here
- >One of the warm bright invigorating summer, the cool sleepy calming autumn, the lifegiving almost pink spring, the dark dead black winter, the ever-shifting madness of eternal possibilities, the loveless emerald expanse, and a few others that you couldn't get any meaning from.
- Emily could, she was always bright. Much like her mother.
- >Without any action from you both the black and pink voids pulled at you, the pink slightly stronger just by being larger
- >You pulled your blade, ready to fight whatever may be ahead of you.
- I will face whatever I must, Emily lives and is prosperous. Nothing else matters.
- >Suddenly a small white light within the pink surged and pulled you towards it with momentous force.
- >You are Flurry Heart
- >Your horn itches.
- >Where's Whammy?
- >You grab your friend and hug her close
- >You then bite her head gently
- >Bright light!
- >Loud noise!
- >Scary monster!
- WAAAAAAAAAA!

- >You are an anonymous man
- >The crying of a babe adds to the pain of your forceful reentry into the world, specifically the floor.
- >In a practiced motion you're back on your feet, and looking around.
- >It's dark, but you can see that the floors and walls are made out of some crystalline material.
- >You have little time to get your bearings before a door opens and light floods into the room.
- >"Flurry, I thou- GUARDS, CODE SOMBER!" the pink horse shouts
- >Before you can react a beam of light fires from the horse's head.
- >You jump away, but the light clips your leg shooting pain throughout your body and forcing you backwards
- >You're on your feet again in a second, and are missed by a second shot.
- >You pull your cross bow and take aim at her, firing the tranquilizer.
- >However it is surrounded by the same pink light and tossed away
- >She throws around her powers effortlessly more than anyone marked, perhaps she is the Outsider of this place or at least is heavily favored by it.
- >Gathering you wits you bend time to a crawl and make for the window as more horses run in, some with horns aglow.
- >As you run you watch the pink horse, her eyes following you becoming wider as you flee.
- >Her motions no longer crawl with her peers, and she is soon matching your speed, and you soon see why.
- >Dagger still in hand, you pass the crib with a very small white horse inside.
- Dammit all.
- >Using more power you blink past the crib and to the window before leaping into the night
- >You are Princess Mi Amore Cadenza
- >No one may call you Cadence tonight.
- >"Where's the threat? Where's Flurry?!" Your husband asks appropriately frantic.
- Flurry isn't hurt, I managed to chase her off. I couldn't see a tail, so I'm not sure if she was a minotaur or dragon.
- >"Any details on her?"
- She was an assassin, masked, and bipedal. And she used dark magic.
- >"Guardsmares, alert all patrols. High alert, we have an assassin in the Crystal Empire who made it into the Princess Imperial's room. Armed, armored, and dangerous. Be on the lookout for a bipedal cow or dragoness. If found send word to myself of Princess Cadenza, do not engage. Three mare teams!"
- >Knowing that his daughter is safe Shining is back to being the capable guard captain he always was.
- Shining, we also need to alert Aunt Celestia, and Twilight. None of our wards or alarms were triggered, and if Flurry hadn't cried I wouldn't have even known to come in her room.
- >"It's ok, you protected her. And my guards are the best around, she will face justice. Come on, you need to do a princess' duty for a bit and assure the staff."
- >You can't even force a smile or agreement with his words.
- >You nearly failed in your primary mission as both a mare and a mother.
- >It may be feminine pride, but you cannot allow it to stand.
- Take Flurry and keep her shielded with the heart, we don't know if she was only after our daughter. And the heart will offer protection against her magic.
- >Before any argument could be made, you took wing and flew out of the window in the path of the one who would attack your family.
- >Tonight, you do a mare's duty.
