- >You open the doors to the throne room with a light tug of your magic.
- >"Attention!" the powerful and deep voice of your personal guard calls.
- >Anonymous is the only one in the room who salutes at his own call to attention, as usual.
- "At ease, everypony," you respond, as usual
- >Anonymous relaxes and shoots you a bright smile, just like every day before it for the past year now.
- >He marches over to stand just behind you, "for tactical reasons" he said in the beginning, though you secretly hope it's so he can check out your royal tush.
- >You make a leisurely pace along the long room and Anon is marching along, maintaining the same distance all the while.
- >The other guards in the room stifle their snickering as you both travel past.
- >They circleclop about your decision to make Anon your personal guard when they think you can't hear them.
- >Only did it because he's hot.
- >Didn't even have to do basic training.
- >Thinks he's a big shot because "the princess needs her pussy guarded."
- >Probably couldn't even handle one little changeling.
- >Sure they may be telling the truth, but you didn't accept his offer solely because you find him attractive.
- >"Princess, you've given me so much and asked for nothing in return. I don't have much to offer you, I was never very talented nor was I the brightest person back on Earth... but, if you'll have me, I would like to be your guard. To protect the one who sheltered me at my weakest, I couldn't think of anything that would bring me a greater joy."
- >How could you turn that away?
- >So you let those pompous "girl's club" mares whine and fantasize.
- >You couldn't care less.
- >The only feelings you care about belong to the human standing at attention right next to your throne.
- >His proud smile.
- >Attentive eyes.
- >Firm grip on his halberd.
- >Quick sprint in his legs.
- >Booming voice as he shouts, "Get down!"
- >Wait wha-
- >*BZZRAP*
- >"Assassin!" shouts your head guard as the two stationed by the door scramble to apprehend your would-be attacker.
- >Anonymous is hunched over in front of you, a bright green light is radiating out past him.
- >He grunts and groans loudly as the light intensifies around him.
- >A powerful roar bellows out from the shadowy figure before you as the light continues glowing brighter and brighter.
- >*THOOM*
- >The light is gone as the magic missile that was intended to kill you was shattered prematurely.
- >Emerald green smoke rises from Anonymous's lowered hands.
- >HIs body is eerily still.
- "Anon?"
- >With two clanks of his armor, Anonymous falls to his knees.
- "ANON!"
- >You rush over to him and wrap him in your wings.
- >There are green scorch marks all over the front of his armor, and while it's subtle, you can also see emerald green scorch marks on his face.
- "SEND FOR THE MEDICAL TEAMS NOW!"
- >A gentle pressure on your chest draws your attention.
- >"I did it... just like I said I would... suck it Noble Charge" he mutters before going limp in your arms.
- >Be Anon
- >"-by force alone-"
- >"-er seen anypony move that fast bef-"
- >"-ook that missile like a mare.".
- >You blink some very heavy eyelids a few times
- >The light is blinding the first few blinks, but everything begins coming into focus soon enough.
- >You're lying in a hospital bed that's a little too small for you judging by the dangling feeling in your feet.
- >On the nightstand next to you see a large "Get Well Soon" card.
- >Taking it into your morning-weak hands, you scan over the names and dates.
- >Holy shit, you've been out for a week.
- >You look yourself over and find nothing of note.
- >Fucking potions and shit are the shit.
- >You look back to the card again.
- >Noble Charge
- >Swift Hoof
- >Trusty Shield
- >Those names stand out to you among the myriad others for some reason.
- >No wait, it's coming back to you now.
- >The assassin, they were in the room with you that morning.
- >Speaking of, It's almost sun up if you're to believe the way the dim sky looks outside.
- >You leap out of the bed and almost totally eat shit from sleepy legs.
- >Gotta keep that promise Anon, you may not be good for much, but you're a man of your word.
- >Be Celestia
- >You wanted to check on Anonymous before heading in to run day court but Luna ate up that time to inform you of last night's events regarding suspicious activity.
- >Ever since the incident you've been working to increase security.
- >You tug the main doors to the throne room with your magic and pull them open.
- >Everyday this week just hasn't felt the same without Anonymous greeting you with his usual call to-
- >"Attention!"
- >Your head whips over to your right so fast you felt your neck pop.
- >Anonymous salutes you proudly.
- >Past him you can see two other guards also saluting.
- >You scan the room and find that everypony is saluting your arrival.
- >The look of pride on Anonymous' face makes your chest feel warm.
- "At ease, everypony."
