Hello everybody. Welcome to another chapter. I must say that this is quite fun, writing this story. Hopefully it's as fun to read. Now, there are a few things I must address about the story, before I continue. Firstly, every chapter is going to be about one of the three characters, following their different stories. The chapters will also follow a different viewpoint, Nuclear's is third person, the seconds are in first person and Bullet's are from the view of other people.

Movement. I can feel the metal seat beneath me move as we trundle further into the forest. The trees are thicker here, it's harder to see anypony else through them. Lady Fluttershy is sat opposite me, telling me my new roles. I don't bother listening. Her stare is powerless against me, when I have no eyes.

I haven't said a word since the accident. Not that I can't of course. My tongue remains untouched, my eyes were the only damage to me. The accident.

It had happened a few days ago. I had been testing out some new crystals the miners had found. They resonated some kind of energy, a powerful energy. I had been determined to uncover their secrets.

My mistake. I applied electricity to the gems, and they charged up. I gave them some more, then gave the too much. They had exploded, ripping through the house and knocking me backwards. When I woke up, I couldn't see the sky. I couldn't see the trees, or the flowers, or the guards. I could only see smudges of color, confusing and disorientating me.

Then had come the beating. Years of hatred towards magic had indoctrinated the guards, and they unleashed their fury upon my body. Relentlessly kicking and hitting my body until I passed out again.

When I next woke up, I was in a stone room, with iron bars across the windows. A few fellow prisoners were there, all of them unicorns. They managed to heal me, using what was left of their magic to heal my wounds. One of them produced the silk scarf that now covers my head, covering what is left.

Odd, isn't it, that I can never see for myself what my wounds are. Are my eyes gone, is there simply a hole, or are the intact and simply broken? It doesn't matter. Those unicorns, the ones who helped me, they're dead now. That's the sentence for magic users. I got off lucky. Oddly enough, Lady Fluttershy isn't known to help prisoners.

We've stopped now. I can sense people moving around us, getting things out of the carriage and such. Lady Fluttershy is moving, and I follow her. I can't tell where we are, only that we are in clearing. There are about six of us. All earth ponies, but I'm the only one in shackles. She's talking again, and I decide to listen.

"You shall be staying with me, understand?" She says. I nod. She seems pleased by my response, and motions for me to follow. "So why do you cover your eyes?" She asked while we walk. I don't respond. "It's fine to talk to me, I'm not as bad as people think."

"I cover my eyes." I croak. My voice sounds wrong from a long period without use. "Because I cannot see." I continue, hoping my answer is enough. It isn't, as she continues to ask.

"Why can't you see?"

"I chose not to, or I am disabled. It does not matter much."

"It matters to me." She replys. I can hear the kindness in her voice, the slight smile on her lips. "After all, I require to know my suitors."
