Death, of a friend

        Rarity awoke in a rather uncomfortable bed. She took a moment to admire the walls, golden, as we're alot of elven products. Gold was rather abundant in Summerset and along the coast of Valenwood.

        Rarity got out of bed and walked over to the door. There happened to be a couple of stallions talking outside the room. One a Golden stallion with a cream mane, a white stallion with orange mane and an orange stallion with a gold mane who reminded Rarity of Applejack. However, they were all unicorn.

        Not a single pegasai or earth pony anywhere. Rarity continued to walk down the hallway until stopped by a white unicorn with a crimson mane. Her cutie mark was mostly hidden but Rarity could make out a bloody mace with some organ hanging from the end of it.

        "Halt!" Rarity was scared "I don't think I've seen you before, tell me your name."

        "M-my name is Rarity." Was all she could say, intimidated by the sheer size of the mare, of that which rivaled Big Macs!

        "Rarity huh? I remember your name for the recruits list," a classical thalmor lie "So what ya doin here?"

        "I... uh... Just came back from a mission! Yes! And I wanted to see the Dwarven Artifact!" Rarity answered.

        The mare looked to another guard who winked at her, she nodded back "Yeah sure I could show you to the Artifact. Follow me."

        -Royal Imperial Spa-

        "So... um... Pinkie, how did you become... you know... The Empress of a country?" Fluttershy asked. She was having her weekly spa day but since Rarity wasnt here, pinkie thought she would join her.

        "Well, it's not much of a happy story," Pinkie Explained "I was trying to make friends with the former Emporer, who I did not know was the Emporer at the time..."

        -Imperial City, one week ago-

        Pinkie was super happy, a little while ago she had found a couple coins on the ground and gave one to a poor elderly mare. Pinkie felt so happy to see the mare smile up at her. That kind of thing always made her day.

        As pinkie walked down the street she spotted a sad looking earth pony stallion with blue clothing. She sat beside him on the bench he was on. He didnt notice. Pinkie shuffled closer to him. He still didnt notice.

        "Hiya! I'm Pinkie Pie!" Pinkie held her hoof out with a grin with a grin, finally getting the attention of the stallion.

        Not the rude type of stallion, he sook the hoof and replied "Emporer Stormcloak, but I'm sure you knew that, everypony does."

        "Hay, why so glum chum?" Pinkie didnt like it when others didnt feel happy. So she tried to cheer up the stallion and hopefully make a new friend.

        "Why so glum? Well, I'm the Emporer of this entire country, North, South, East and West coast. Everywhere you walk, I practically rule," He explained "Yet I barely feel fit to be in charge of even the tiniest village. Heck if I were in charge of as small village like Rorikstead, the ponies would rebel in less than a week. Back when I ruled Windhelm we had many problems with the Nordic population I could barely take time to help the other races and some too this as prejeduce towards the others. That alone earned me the title of the Racist King."

        "And that makes you sad that ponies think you don't like them. I know how it feels, it makes me sad too when ponies think I don't like them." Pinkie replied.

        "But not just that, I took over the empire after the Dark Brotherhood killed the former emperor. I allowed the provinces to come up with their own provincial government to be nice and it worked. But I left all my friends up north when I left to become emperor. I was never meant to rule anything. I-I," After that he broke down into tears "I just wanna have friends!"

        Pinkie then started to hug the stallion and comfort him, neither noticed the gathering croud watching them "There there. I'll be your friend," Pinkie stroked Stormcloaks mane "Here have a cookie."

        Stormcloak watched as the mare brought out a cookie from seemingly nowhere. He gently took it with his hoof and had a bite "Tasty, what's it made from?" He coughed a little.

        "Some plant I found outside the city, someone told me it was Nirnroot so..."

        Ulfric interrupted pinkie with violent hacking "Nirnroot?!?! IM ALLERGIC TO NIRNROOT!" The Emporers coughin pg got worse and worse. He fell to the ground coughing almost taking up his entire breath. It lasted 12 minutes untill he stopped moving, that's when the guards came and checked the Emporer, sparkling star had came too.

         Sparkling checked his breathing and heart rate, nothing. Sill he couldn't leave the people in shock. After all he was a Thalmor, not a monster "Don't worry! His majesty will be alright. We are preparing a spell to reverse the affects of his allergen."

         The Altmer then followed the guards in. Two more guards came and grabbed the shocked pinkie pie by the fore hooves "C'mon, you caused him to get allergic."

         -Royal Imperial Spa, current time-

         "I was held a mix of feelings for a while," Pinkie Explained to Fluttershy "Mostly Shocked that somepony had just died in front of me, Sadness that this pony was my friend, and most of all, guilt that I cuased his death."

         "Well, it's not your fault? How were you supposed to know he was allergic?" Fluttershy replied.

         "Yeah and before he died I did make him feel better. So at least I left a positive influence on him." Pinkie announced.

         "I know I always feel horrible when one of my animal friends die. I always think of what I could have done better to keep them alive, when I should of thought about how much of a happy life they lived having a friend like me," Fluttershy explained "So is the curse of a longer life span."
