It was about two days later I had healed the Mane Six with the mysterious health drink that Silent Hill had always offered. I started with Applejack, who even though at first outright refused, took the magical drink in spite of her own pride. After tasting, she said it tasted like strawberries, which she didn't hate, but rather it be apples instead. After her, I went to Pinkie, who had both her front legs torn open after I had popped her bones out. She took it far with less resistance, and was soon up and about bouncing off the walls. Soon next was Fluttershy. When I found that she was being fed through a straw, I did the easy thing: Pour the drink into her cup. Soon she was starting to feel much better and could sing with that beautiful voice of hers. Next came Rainbow who, I found out, was in a coma. I set up and IV and the drink began dripping in her slowly, after half a bottle, she was starting to breath on her own again, and began choking on the air tube that was in her lungs. She woke with a fright to us smiling back.

Pinkie briefly explained, and while still reluctant to this day, she joined us. We found Rarity in the room next door, and while she had breathing tube too, she was wide awake. We fed her the drink through an IV, but it took less than half a bottle this time. I told the other five to wait here while I went to find where Twilight was. I knew she wasn't in the intensive care part of the hospital, so I went to the psych-ward. When the doctors saw me, I was outside of my normal appearance; I was no longer Pyramid Head for that short while. After some quick directions, I made my way to room 657. There was Twilight, null ring around her horn, strapped down to the joint, and muzzle around her mouth. Only her eyes moved and they locked onto me in a heartbeat. She could see everything I saw in the Hill, so to her everything was already peeling away. She was slowly crossing into the Other World, I knew that she would vanish into it as well. So I covered her eyes with my hand, and chanted an old prayer, one that only myself and Alessa knew. After an intense 30 minutes, I managed to get Twilight to calm down to the point of sanity, but they only problem being is that I couldn't take away what she had already seen.

The room stopped it’s peeling, and went back to normal, and her breathing began to start stabilizing. Her eyes were still wide, but they began to scan the room.

“It is no trick, I can assure you that.” I said, gently reaching for the muzzle. She began to thrash, expecting me to harm her, but I covered her eyes once more and grabbed the muzzle. She calmed down and I undid the straps.

“Listen, young Twilight,” I said to her, “Before I came, what did you see?” I asked, and she was just about to scream.

“I… I saw… Horrible things, voices whispering nothing but despair in ears, in my head… Saying things about my past failures, how I was a nobody unicorn, a worthless worm… A… A no good… “ She began sobbing, and I know why. The music was still engraved in her memory, it’s something not even I can take away, for once it’s unholy melody begins… You’re fate is sealed.

I could hear that music too, it continued, ever playing in my brain. Something from the Hill must be coming, something big enough to stir the music within me as well. Sepulcher was dead, no doubt, myself and Gilgamesh killed it. Only Scarlet, Amnion, and Ansphyxision could produce the music to writhe. Only now, it began to fade from us both, and Twilight visibly settled down as the music disappeared. Something was happening in Silent Hill, something that needed my attention. I undid Twilight’s bonds and removed the null ring around her horn.

“The next time you see Celestia, tell her I never meant anything I ever did. I did it because of the ring around my finger. It actively hunts down what are known as Sinners, and it has me destroy them. Her old guards, the one’s from around 1000 years ago, they were all Sinners, especially her captain.” I explained to her. I could already see the questions boiling in her mind. “Not here, Sparkle, save the barrage of questions for later.” I assured her. “For now, I will temporarily suppress the voices in your mind,” I said placing my left hand on her forehead.

“I am not evil, I am not kind, I may do evil things, say stuff I don’t mean, but that’s not me. For now, I am free to do whatever you wish, and I will do anything in my power to protect you, Celestia, and all of Equestria.” She gave a sigh of relief, and I knew the voices stopped in her head. “However, until the ring on my hand begins to glow again, I will leave to return to my duties.” I backed away from her cell and gestured for her to follow me. “Hmmm… You know what? Just one question for now.” I said looking back at her.

The question she asked would be the hardest one to answer however. “Why?”

I stopped dead in my tracks. And I thought very carefully about my answer. “Remember how Trixie was using the Alicorn Amulet and it caused her to go into a megalomanic state?” She nodded. “Well, it’s kinda the same way with me, only I have to accept that I’m willing doing it. Like forcing yourself to pull out a splinter even though it hurts.” I explained. She looked down at the ground then back up at me.

“So you were fully aware of what you were doing to us? How could you?” She had tears in her eyes…

“Because!... Because it wasn’t my decision to make… I’ll have lapses of hate and then I need to rid them the only way an Executioner knows how. And that’s to execute.” I said with a raised voice. “Is it my fault that I wanted nothing more to cause pain amongst others? Maybe… But I had learned hundreds of years ago that some things aren’t always in your control, some things are just attached to the threads that life pulls around. Now I feel as though the strings of torture and pain are gone and now I have-- I’m rambling aren’t I?” I said with a sheepish smile.

Twilight shook her head. “No, no it was good, go on.” She pushed, but thankfully her friends came around the corner to meet us. “Thank Christ for that…” I thought myself. I hate monologuing to myself. I’m still doing it!

“Hiya Twilight! Feeling better now?” Pinkie asked jumping up and down. Twilight was to say the least confused as to all her friends suddenly got better. I saw the look and gave her the bottle. “Here,” I said, “You can analyze this back at your home, for now I got a job to do.”

“And what’s that?” Rainbow said skeptically.

I gave a big smile and proudly said, “Keter Duty.”
