This island, it’s an island I’m about to get off. They call this island Harmony Island, but it’s anything but Harmonic for me. It was hellhole in disguise, fooling me into a false sense of security on arrival and I paid for it. This island is 20 ponies strong, and all of them hated me and loved to bully me, why? For some simple amusement or something, I wish I knew why.

You are wondering who this guy is, the unfortunate soul that suffered 3 years of this, the name’s Joey, but my pony name is Starshine. I named myself after the way the stars shine on this planet. Yes, I am not from here, I’m from a planet named Earth and I was originally Human before some cruel force turned me this way. I am what is called a Unicorn and I can do a little magic like telekinesis and such but I don’t have any special abilities and I don’t have a cutie mark, Blank Flank they call me.

But today, I head for Equestria, well we’re technically in it but we’re 500 kilometers off the east coast, away from any contact from Equestria. From what I’ve gathered, there’s so much opportunity there it’s like America, the land of opportunity and a fresh start.

In order for me to escape, I need a boat and they will not give it to me since they all hate me and I can’t steal it on their watch, I’ve tried. So they all need to burn, in their beds and once they’re dead, I make my escape and hopefully my luck goes for the better.

You think I’m being extreme don’t you? You do not understand these ponies, they are cruel, have humiliated me more than I can bear and they’ve insulted every bit of my honor and anypony that helps will receive equal treatment, not that anypony even tries.

They all will die, in their sleep…

I have prepared for 3 months, I’ve salvaged food and water ready to load, and of course plenty of fire, I made a design that sets all the houses on fire, all that it requires is to ignite and they all burn and I live free. Besides, that’ll teach these morons for making straw houses.

But first, I think I’ll enjoy my revenge by personally killing the leader behind all of this: Big Boss. The big Earth Pony stallion has been a thorn in my side for too long!

I broke into his house and entered his room and woke him up, he was all alone in his house and nopony was here to help him, not that it would matter anyway.

“You! What’re you doing my house?” Boss asked me furiously

“Giving you one last visit before I leave this island forever” I said

“Leave this island? Insolent fool! Nopony leaves this island without my permission” Boss said

“Well I don’t need it, because I’m also here to settle something I really should of done from the start if I weren’t such a spineless coward.” I explained more of my intent

“What are you doing?” Boss asked me

“For three years, I am stuck on this island, three years I asked for a bit of help and was spat in my face, humiliated and beat up by you and the islanders. No longer asshole! Tonight this whole island burns and I’ll be leaving for Equestria” I said with such fury in my voice.

“You wouldn’t dare, you don’t have the guts” Boss sneered at me

“Neither will you, you’ve been a thorn in my side, no, it has not been pleasure knowing you, I would wish a worse fate on you, and I hope you burn in anguish with no mercy brought upon you when you reach hell, Goodbye asshole!” I said furiously back

I pulled out a knife and with my magic, I stabbed him four times in the chest and once in the head to be sure. Each stab I did was vented through three years of fury, Big Boss is dead and good fucking riddance!

---

I went back to the point where I ignite the fuse for Phase 2, I did not give one final look, I did sigh and breathe moment of truth or anything of the sort, it was straight ignite and adios you bastards!

The flames, they were of freedom, burning those who made my life hell these past three years. I really should of done this soon, I was such a spineless idiot back then, but no longer is my destiny not in my hands, wherever I end up is better than here.

I packed my gear quickly into the boat I “Borrowed”, things like food, water and some bits I got of Big Boss and some I saved up from a bit of work. As I cut the rope holding this boat to the island and the rope tying me here on this island, I set sail out of here with the flames going sky high.

---

The boat by no means was big but neither was it small, it was one that would normally require 2 or 3 ponies at least, but I have magic on my side and that has helped me out more than anypony ever has, I had to self-teach myself magic, well I figured it out but the uses have been so useful to my cause. I can only hope I learn more of this magic and if at all possible, a route back home: To Earth!

Actually, let’s drink to that, To earth, to freedom and to Equestria! I mimicked banging a class to nopony at all and downed a bit of rum. I felt like a pirate with this rum but I am determined never to see sea again as long as I live.

The sun comes up and it’s sentimental value brings me a new dawn…
