The Guardian

Questions

"Will it live," a voice asked.

"We don't know, but It has a pulse," said another.

What's happening, thought the Guardian. I can't see. It tried to move but found that it couldn't.

"Wait, I think it's waking up."

It opened its eyes to the blinding light. Its eyes slowly adjusted and found that it was in a hospital with a familiar alicorn and a nurse.

"We didn't think you were going to make it," said Luna. "Are you feeling allright?"

It nodded its head slowly.

"We have a few questions to ask of you, if you are feeling up to it," Luna said. "First why were you in the castle in the first place?"

It tried to speak but cold not make any words. Then It sat up qickly and started to leave the hospital bed.

"I'm sorry bt you can't leave yet, you are still under arrest for breaking into the castle but, if you answer our questions we might let you go, now why did Queeen Chryslis try to kill you." Luna questioned, as she forced the Guardian back onto the hospital bed.

It kept trying to get up, feeling as if somthing outside needed it. It quickly got up and, ignoring Luna's protests, walked to the window and jumped out.

"No," Luna shouted as the Guardian fell and started to gallop into the nearby forest. It kept thinking that there was something in there it needed to find. Eventually it found a small crater in the forest. Inside it was a dark crystal. The surrounding forest warped, as if the trees themselves felt its power. It slowly trotted to the crystal and touched it. It started to fuse with the dark armor until it was comletly gone. It felt a small spike grow out of its back, right above its heart.

"So you found one," the small voice in its head said. "These crystals will give us power to beat the corruption, when it comes for the focus."

"What is the corruption?" The Guardian thought.

"It exists to purge every dimension of its existence, we were made to fight."

"Stop right there," said Luna. "Why did you run away from us?"

"I think I can explain," Said the small voice, now speaking from the crystal.

"Who said that," questioned Luna.

"The armor did," said the Voice. "We are your sworn protectors."

"What dark magic is this," Luna said stepping back.

"Don't be afraid, little one, we are meant to protect this world from darkness."

"Why should we belive you," Luna questioned.

"Because it will be easier for us," the voice said. Next Chapter: Dreaming Estimated time remaining: 33 Minutes
