Artist’s Description

The invasion was a failure. Our troops were completely wiped out in a single blow. Even I could never fathom the power behind Alicorn’s magic. She and her incompetent captain not only ejected us from the castle, but scattered the entire Changeling army, including our warrior Queen, across all of Equestria.

I don’t know where I landed. My body is broken. My will is crushed. And worse, this Alicorn magic; It pierces me deep inside. This burning, aching feeling swelling in my chest is almost unbearable. These foreign feelings overwhelm my mind and body, making it act on its own accord. Water leaks from my eyes and I taste of blood on my tongue.

Time passes, I’m not sure how long. I must have passed out for I see light shining through the trees. Its warmth is little comfort to me. I hear a voice, a pony is near by. I shudder at the thought of being found now, vulnerable as I am, unable to fight or defend myself. I have no honor.

The voice spoke again, this time I could make out the word, “Mister? Can you hear me?” From the sound of it, it was a hatchling… or at least the equivalence for an Equestrian. Maybe if I ignore it, it will go away.

“I’m.. I’m going to go get my mom.. she’s a lifeguard so maybe..” Mom? An Adult.

“-oo. No. Don’t.” I wheezed out. It hurt to breath. I struggled against the dead weight of my body. I needed to leave, it wasn’t safe.. it wasn’t… I don’t remember what happened after that.

It all went black.
