The Guardian

Finding the focus

"Take it down," yelled a guard, but the creature didn't hear him or the voice in its head pleading to stop. All it could think of was to end this guards life. The pony struggled as its partner stared in horror. Soon the other guards started attacking it from all sides, their spears breaking on its armor. The guard had stopped flailing at it and just lay there, almost like he was accepting death.

But, before the creature finished what it intended to do, a unicorn guard grabbed it using its magial power. The creature flailed, trying to escape the magic grasp, and for a second it faltered. But the unicorn held strong and continued to hold it until more unicorns came to support him. The glow of magic intensified as it attempted to escape.

A medic attempted to revitalize the asphyxiated pony, while the creature was dragged to a holding cell. From their the Guardian decided to ponder what it really was. It had no recollection of its past except for a select few memories about those two princesses. There was nothing else. It called out to the voice in its head but she didn't answer.

With each passing minute its rage grew, all these unanswered questions with only one way for the truth, until finally it smashed against the cell door. At first it dented, but didn't break. When he slammed into it again the door screeched open and the Guardian galloped past the other cells. At the end of the cells multiple unicorn guards. It stopped several feet away. It heard one of the younger guards whimper. All the Guardian wanted was to find those princesses and nothing would stand in its way.

The Guardian charged first galloping head on toward the guards. A Unicorn created a magic barrier around them but it kept charging. They readied their lances but it kept charging. And right before it made impact with the shield they were teleported behind it. The Guardian slowed to a stop because in their place stood the Focus. And she looked angry.

"I don't know why you came back here but I will not stand for an attack in my own home," Princess Celestia said.

The next few seconds were a blur as Celestia magically manuvered a sun staff to attack. There wasn't much pain but it could feel the stabs break throgh its second skin. Soon Celestia stopped and cleaned the dark blood off the staff. "Now surrender, or die," She said.

So this is it the, creature thought, I guess I really won't know who I am. But, the small voice came back, but it was screaming now. "No, I shall not die to Her," It screamed in the Guardians head. Suddenly there was a burst of light, and then everything went black. Next Chapter: Wrong Move Estimated time remaining: 36 Minutes
