Previous Chapter Next Chapter"Nothing is true, everything is permitted."-The creed.
"Do you know what you're getting into?" asked the emperor.
"I am certain I know exactly how to deal with those brutes." replied a hooded mare.
"They slaughtered an army as well as two dragons. I also notice you seem to be rather disturbed at the thought of them alone. Are you absolutely-"
"I have never been more certain of anything in my life." assured the mare. "One must conquer his or her fears one day."
"You seem rather insistent to take them head on. I wish more of my soldiers were like you." smirked the emperor.
"Do not be discouraged emperor. You're troops are amongst the finest in the world. If I fail, they will no doubt be a better option. We merely need to unite the other races."
"I have spoken to the ambassadors of other nations but Equestria. While it is considered weakness to ask for allies in our nation, they will be valuable in rescuing our world from those harbingers."
"I had dreams where they would return, but I thanked my goddesses that they would allow no harm to come to us. When I saw them enter Ponyville with Twilight and the elements of harmony themselves, I realized we had been breached. Not even the element of magic herself seems to have been aware of their past misdeeds. They will no doubt attempt to convince Equestria of their false innocence and then attack." explained the mare.
"How do you plan on disposing them?" questioned the emperor.
"Knowing the....pink one. I certainly know what she will attempt to do now that those aggressors have entered town. I intend to poison them there and reveal to the crowd their deception. If my alpha plan fails. I still have 100% faith in my beta plan."
"Do you require any further assistance?" asked the emperor.
"I do not wish to create a scene. An army would draw attention. Besides, I have all I need here." The mare pointed to her amulet."
The emperor's eyes widened. "Is that the alic-"
"It is. I might be afraid of them, but the humans are going to face retribution one way or another."
