As I opened my eyes, the first thing I noticed were the metal bars surrounding me. ‘Damn. Still in the cell.’ A sudden sound to my left made me jump. I quickly son my head and ears towards where the sound originated. I saw guards escorting prisoners from their cells to a giant Caravan waiting outside. Looking around, I soon located the dusty form of Burnout. He was sitting in a makeshift office. The office itself wasn’t more than a few wooden walls, a small desk, a candle, and a chair. All sitting upon a giant board of OSB. A few well placed ‘windows’, which were nothing more than a large triangle shaped hole in the wood, allowed easy view both into and out of the ‘room’. I sat there watching Burnout for a bit, just waiting to see what’s going to happen next. After a bit, Burnout’s head rose and he began to look around.

‘What has it been? Twenty minutes? Thirty? It takes him this long to notice he’s being watched?’ I thought to myself, ‘It’s a wonder he hasn’t been sniped yet. If this was the Wasteland, he’d be dead several times over!’ When burnout finally looked over towards me, I couldn’t help myself. I rose a forehoof and just waved at him, before pointing at my other forehoof as if I was asking about the time. Burnout facehooved before gathering a set of papers and folders. He then just drew an ‘E’ in the air before pointing behind me. Glancing in that direction, I saw the sun just cresting over the trees. ‘Either that’s east, which means the sun is still rising, or he’s saying that i’m up early and it’s almost night time,’ I guessed, ‘It makes more sense for it to be the former rather than the latter though.’

I looked away from Burnout and back to the prisoners. Some have decide to try breaking free. Their attempts never lasted more than a few seconds before they were tamed once more. I didn't see the three warriors that stayed here to break me, which I took as a win in my book. Slowly, I stood up, but once I tried to take a deep breath, I discovered something disturbing. I haven't had a bath or a shower for several months now! I had blood all over my beautiful, formerly silky smooth, black fur body. Oh, and a bunch of pink patches of skin were showing through my coat. A closer look revealed that those pink patches were caused by scars. Seeing that many little pink spots in areas that don't have any fur was a little disturbing. Well at the moment anyway. I'm sure the fur will grow back.

I noticed I was the last one they would take. I just sat there, watching them remove most of the weapons from the building. Burnout exited his office before he looked at a bunch of guards hanging out by the prison and yelled out to them.

" Remember to take everything! We will be burning down the outpost. We can't allow the Queen to know how kind we have been to these prisoners. We need to really have her think the hero is dead. Place all the extra papers that have nothing on them around the area to torch down the building. We can't allow her to think the hero is alive." Lifting my head, I stared at Burnout who turned to look at me.

" Listen, hero, I am very sorry for what happen to you. I had no choice. We are ready to die to save you from the Queen." I just looked at him, I didn't even speak. Since...well, I didn't care to talk. But I would listen. I owed him that much at least. Laying myself back down, I closed my eyes and slowly started to get some rest. But then, a commotion forced open my eyes as I jumped back up, watching the ponies rush around. Many of them said it would take hours to just get everything ready.

Watching each pony run back and forth getting prisoners. They even had parts of the cage with them. What interested me more was the fact that many of the ponies had their families here. I saw young foals stare at me as they passed. But their parents moved them along so they wouldn't stare at me too long. Another pony rushed back to the Caravan with many weapons in his magical grasp. Dropping them using his magic to pull a giant whetstone.

He quickly sharpens the dull weapons. Sparks flew from this as I watched them. I have never noticed until now how these ponies had no modern guns. But I did see a few old guns. Near the pony that had the whetstone, Another guard took apart old guns to repair them as well as clean them.

It was an odd show to watch while they did all this. To my surprise though they brought out the machine they strapped me to all these months is taken apart and placed in crates. Crate easy enough to get to if they need to well use it on me again. I am really hoping they don’t have to use it on me again. My magic core is already screaming for magic as it is.

I remembered the magic sight I was given. Using my horn to connectrate. My eyes changed color to see the magic in the air. I could see the crates are full of this magic. I need it...I need it!! The pony stared at me shaking their head walking away with the box of magic. I sighed. I needed it so badly. I wanted to try to break through the cage. But sadly I don't think that would have been a good idea. I sat down on my haunches watching them take everything but the sink.. wait did they just take a sink? Watching water spray everywhere but I wasn't the one that was even next. This outpost is so big. They needed to gather more of what they had here.

I watched two stallions bring out some beds, placing them around in areas to burn them. I watched them place old documents to get ready to burn the place down. I couldn't believe that they wished to destroy everything. Burnout came back in looking at me and leaned down to speak

" We almost got our part of the caravan ready. So everything will be ready for you and all of the others." I stared at him with no emotions in my eyes. Burnout sighed, going back to watch the rest of the ponies remove so much from this building. Looking back at me. I could tell he wanted to tell me something. But he looked up to the Cam that the warden would look through. " I can't tell you a little hero. I wish I could but all will come clear when we can finally speak to each other.”

I nodded curling into a ball was they did all this around me. Looking at them even taking some of the walls. They were attaching the metal and doors to the Caravan but they rushed so much that some of the spots are badly connected. But they had welding torches. It's gotten to the point when I watched them that I felt the Caravan was going to fall apart just from how it looked. I saw the wheels attached to the metal as well. I was kept in my cage. I noticed them starting to pry the walls of to keep me in place. The cage I was in was moveable but it would take them a while to get to what is holding it in place.

I watched as one of the ponies removed tubes from the radio to try to use them as a connection to the caravan. I didn’t understand why they took apart so many things. But I lay my head down to longer watch but to hear what is going on. I didn't wish to pace. I was in too much pain from being still for too long. Moving slowly. I felt cracks happen in my bones. I groaned I had a strange feeling that, I will never be fully healed.

I heard parts of the building fall to the ground. Seeing the very dust come along with the ride. But most of the building stayed up. I started to notice more about it. It's attached to old ruins the ruins of the race that helped create this island. I find that hard to understand why they wanted to burn it down. Then I pulled one of the documents to me. Opening them up, staring at them. These documents are of ponies and me. They wished to make me stronger by getting me closer to death. Most of the ponies here wanted to see me escape. But they couldn't do any of this.

The three warriors kept showing up. But the only two that showed respect to this idea, was Mix and Cricket. Mix, from what I remember wanted to die. Reading more of the documents I saw that they were in contact with the resistance, who wanted to know if I was alive. But they kept saying ‘We don't know. We never found the hero.’ It seemed that they were trying to keep me being here a secret. But the next documents are the Queen coming to see who is in this prison in the next four days. Looking around, I noticed that they are rushing.

" Learning why we have to leave so fast then little hero?" I looked up, seeing Burnout. " We can't allow the Queen to find out you are here. She will kill you try to make an example of you. But yes we still are going to be heading to the castle to hide you in the lower parts of the city."

Tilting my head for a moment. "Lower part of the city? What kind of city is this castle?" I simply asked.

" Well, it's like a giant city in the lower parts that are hidden from the sun are the slums. Every pony goes there to hide. Then try to sneak out through the ruins. But you shall be in there soon." I nodded, calmly watching him rush off and pulling out a terminal. They started building a large metal prison that seemed to be for me. But they don't seem to be ready for me yet. I watched them placed bodies of those long dead from a basement, smearing blood all over the walls as well as the floor. Then they threw the bodies everywhere. It's like they wanted to make sure a riot happen.

I wanted to lose what I ate. But I couldn't since I didn't eat much. They sprawled brains guts as well as bones. Then they placed papers along with them too. Burnout ripped apart all the documents. They started dumping what is left of their fuel. I heard the inner workings of an old fuel engine. I have heard of things like this in Equestria but it seems they learned how to make fuel cars here. But they maybe had to since the magic type things in Equestria. But I am not a smart pony when it came to the machines we have in Equestria.

I could smell the fumes from the caravan it didn't smell very good either. Finally, they started to get me out of the hole I was in. Lifting up my cage placing it into the back. Attaching it to the caravan they even gave me a toilet soI could well go to the bathroom. Unlike how they did have it. Just have a little grate. So shitting through a grate and peeing through it as well. Slowly they attached walls to the cage that kept me in here. Burnout then walked into the same part of the Caravan I was in. he sat in a chair looking calmly at me with a smile.

" Well, we are now ready to go." He then yelled. " Set them off." Looking outside, I saw many explosions. The entire outpost started to burn to fall apart. Watching the home I had for six months burn to the ground. I smiled softly watching it just burn. I wanted to do this myself but at least they got all the prisoners out first. But then I heard screaming.

I stared at Burnout he smiled softly but then frowns." Some of the families stayed behind to show that some of the guards and their loved ones lost their lives during the riot. Also, we had a body with your skin and fur so we could make sure she thinks your dead. Also, don't worry the Queen is so full of herself. She won't start the first attack. She will end it." I gave a nod but we haven't started moving yet. Looking outside seeing them filling the caravan more with fuel.

A guard rushing to speak to Burnout.

"We have enough fuel to get to the castle. But since we are like ten miles from Cliffside we need to bypass it at the turn to get to the castle through the Minotaur and Griffin lands." Burnout nodded. The guard rushed up. I heard all kinds of doors opening and closing. It was close and the smell of smoke was harsh.

As I saw dark smoke come from the smoke stakes of the Caravan but they were testing.

Before we fully left they started feeling us. I was given fresh water drinking from it. Then they put down fresh food. The guard delivering it spoke softly.

" We won't have anything else to eat for the next few days. Stay silent when we get to the Griffin lands. They will be waiting to attack us." I gave the guard a nod looking to Burnout. He gave a smile. But the Caravan didn't start moving for a while. They waited for night to fall before we started moving from what I was told. The smoke floated through the air. I could hear the sounds of explosions within the machine. But it was way before the night was going to fall. I watched them while they attached some, of the weapons to the walls of the outside and the inside as well.

I felt I was being escorted by a heavily guarded building. I heard the core of this machine come to live and roar. It roared so loudly that it made the entire caravan shake and it was getting ready to move. But they seemed to be waiting for something. I heard hooves trotting towards the back.

" Okay Burnout, everything is ready. We need to get going before the Queens sees the smoke and thinking that something is wrong and send her warriors to check it out." Burnout nodded, looking towards me with a gentle smile before he looked back to the pony.

" We move out now! We need to get to the Griffin-Minotaur lands before morning." The pony nods, rushing back to the front. I felt the floor under me shift. We started to move along to the road. The wheels slowly rolling along the road.

0000

We just started our trip through the land to get to the Minotaur-Griffin lands. Looking outside seeing many ponies walk by us to get to Cliffside. I haven't ever seen so many traders or weapons being taken there. I wish I could say something but I am too broken to say anything. The ponies that past us stared at the machine the prisoners were in. They didn't even stop us. But they could tell it was full of the queen's enemies. I looked over to Burnout who watched me intently. He spoke.

" I wish you would forgive me for what I did to your child." Turning my head to stare at him.

" Why should I forgive you? I have a bad leg I have many little scars on my body. If Blaze ever sees me again, she will just sob, staring at every scar I have on my body. If you want me to forgive you, let me off right here." I stared at him with so much hate. His ears pinned back on the top of his head showing his fear.

" I wish I could tell you the true hero." My anger grew my horn glowed brightly then I groaned feeling the pain from using my horn. Lay down closing my eyes calmly resting my head down. Then I heard overheard a conversation between one of the guards and what I assume was a trader.

" Hey, you got any fuel on you?" I heard the cocking of a gun.." Whoa whoa, we just want to trade for fuel."

" You killed the hero... You murders." Burnout rushed to the window outside.

" Listen we just need fuel." The trader turned to look at Burnout the anger on their face was very easy to see.

" You killed Star Shooter! An eighteen-year-old mare who got stuck in a land foreign to her! A mare who, despite it not being her home, began helping others regardless of the damage inflicted upon herself! We learned so much of this from her lover. Now her lover is out searching for the ones that killed her. So no you will get no fuel from us." Burnout turned to look at me. Tears formed in his eye. He rushed to me.

" Oh, goddess hero. Why didn't you tell us your age? The age of eighteen here in this land is precious and meant to be protected."

I snorted looking towards him. " Tell that to your Queen. She seems to have large hate for me for no reason. If I escape here. I am going to kill you." I stared at him with so much anger standing up staring at him. " So be prepared for that. I will find a way out of here. Then you will be the first one I kill."

The burnt colored unicorn stared back at me, his eyes filled with nothing but fear. It seems he never been treated this way. I paced around the cell feeling so angry. Then I sat on the toilet but you can't really keep an angry look as you empty your bladder. It seemed they gave me the ability to flush. So when I did some traders near us yelled.

" OH GODDESS the smell." One yelled Another yelled. " OH damn, they got living prisoners in there!" Guns started firing on us and the drivers turned up the speed, getting off the road. To get away from the traders. After a while, we went back onto the road and Burnout sighed. I noticed we stopped at another outpost that was being ripped apart and burnt down. But we got more fuel.

I looked to Burnout then back to the outpost.

" Are you trying to show that the rebellion is winning?" The burnt color stallion looks to me then back to the burning building.

" No, I am sure no one has told you this hero. Majesty is losing her rule. She doesn't even know that half the island is running to kill her. This has been happening way before you showed up. You merely caused it to go into overdrive." He looked outside then back to me. " I wish we could have met at a better time hero." He walked to the cage opening the door. He backed up while I slowly walked out, my anger wanting to take over and just murder this stallion. But I reigned it in and just sat on my haunches. Burnout slowly shut the cage back up behind me. With his magic, he grabbed some water and proceeded to dump it on my mane. I instinctively shook the water out of my face.

" We don't have enough water to give you a bath hero.” Burnout said with a sigh, “We will be in Minotaur lands tonight. Then on our way to the castle. But we have one more outpost. To get more fuel, some water and food for you. So be prepared to eat and eat all your given for it's the only time around this time you will get to eat."

I sighed myself, thinking about my parents a moment then he spoke again.

" Tell me about yourself hero. All I did was get to know your pain. But not the one that stayed strong proving to all those in the prison that we didn't have a right to do what we did to you." I didn't know what to think when he asked this. Thinking awhile my eyes shifting a moment then looked outside.

" I am from Equestria. My family used to be raiders. But they wished to break off from that after my mother found out she was going to have me. We ended up in a former Prisoner of War camp. The one who ran it was named Wheel Tread. I was born in that camp, spending most of my early childhood surrounded by wood and steel. It’s ironic though. Back when I was eight, we got attacked by a pegasus supremacy faction known as the Enclave. I would have died in that battle, but a creature known as a Vulf'van arrived and fought the Enclave to a standstill, before she took them out. She saved me. A helpless little filly saved by a Vulf'van. Before she died from giving birth. She helped me learn about almost everything I know, including battle and kindness. She is the reason I stayed here. Instead of heading to the castle for the first time to ask to go home.”

Burnout blinked looking at me tears formed in his eyes and then looked down. He felt awful for what he did I could hear him softly crying after what he did to me

" I am sorry little hero. I thought you were just another pretender out there. So many pretenders that say they wish to protect the island. But you? You have the right to do so it seems."

I gave a nod looking towards the way out.

" We are so far away from Cliffside. I want to get home. But it seems I am going to have to wait." I said with a weak smile.I slowly lay down looking up to burnout.

" Tell me about yourself, one that tried to murder me." Burnout blinks staring down at me and chuckled.

" I'm Burnout. I was born and raised on this island. I'm sure you understand being born here is not the best thing. The Queen has to well...test you each time there is a newborn. Since I had no legend behind my name. But I met many who did have family part of a legend. So they were killed. But as you can tell. If you're from Equestria, the Queen doesn't worry about you being a threat."

Blinking for a moment, I nodded but then we stopped again. Looking outside seeing the last outpost we are at. They brought more prisoners. Looking towards Burnout and then back outside I saw this outpost being ripped apart with them adding more to the caravan.

" Aren't you guys worried that making the Caravan to big will make folks think that you have something very important in here?" Burnout looked to me giving me a gentle smile. Then I finally figured out why they were doing this.

" You want to be attacked," I said softly.

" No, we don't. But some will want to attack. So if we do get attacked, run away as fast as you can. Also please aim to get back to Cliffside if we do get attacked. We need you to live child." I nodded, smelling the fuel going inside the caravan.

" How in the world did you find this fuel to move this giant thing." Burnout just shrugged.

" I don't know I am not even part of the research. I just break ponies. Others smarter than me will do more than me." He then opens a door.

" I am going to let you speak to the others in here. Come back here when you're done, please. If we do get attacked I wish to be with you." I gave a nod calmly walked through the caravan.

000000

In a larger part of the caravan, there are seats that many of the prisoners sat in. The guards looked at me but they didn't seem to bother me. I sat down by a mare. Who seemed to stare at me,then her eyes go wide seeing my cutie mark then looking at me again.

"You're alive.." I stared at the mare who I don't even though before she jumps up and start yelling. " The hero is alive!!" All the Prisoners looked at me staring at me. Looking around I started to blush a bit.

" Uh yes, I am alive." They all rushed to me showing so much hope in their eyes. I have never seen so many ponies. Some Salamanders even. I started to back up into the corner. I had fear in my eyes, but Burnout who had been watching got in front of me to protect me from my fans so to speak.

"Listen. Yes, she is alive. But after being stuck in a cell for six months. She is not herself. So if we get attacked to make sure she gets out. " The others looked at each other nodding.

" We need to get her back to Blaze." The mare calmly said. " She is ready to kill the Queen herself. So when you get back Star Shooter. I think it's wise to put Blaze to bed and please her for hours." My cheeks turned bright red. I was being told to have sex with the one I love. So maybe it's a good idea for us to have sex when I get back?

I sighed softly closing my eyes

"Listen I have been trying to escape from these folks for a long time now. They broke me. They hurt me. They even skinned me alive. But they did so much to me to break me. They even broke my back leg to the point where I doubt anything will heal it." Lifting up the leg and sighed. Closing my eyes at the pain. The mare gasped, stroking her hoof along the leg. Feeling that the bone is basically so badly set right that if I even move it. I had a nasty twinge of pain go through my leg.
"Please might be best to leave her alone for now.." Burnout said. I slowly trotted into the back again. But I can still hear them all. " She wants to get home to her love. But we can't just let her go. The Queen is watching for her right now. So again I request that you let her go if we get attacked. We must protect her from whoever attacks her. "

The crowd nods. I closed the door getting back into my cell and closing the door. Shaking so hard closing my eyes. I felt that being around so many made it hard for me to be strong. I wished to be strong. But at the moment I sadly couldn't be strong. I sighed deeply. Burnout slowly returned with a plate of food and more water. He opened the cell door placing the food and water in.

I looked up to Burnout with a gentle smile calmly lifting the water up in my magic. Drinking it down calmly. Setting the cup down, closing my eyes and sighing. Then lifted the fork to calmly eat. I looked up to him again then set the empty plate aside. Looking out the cage window. Seeing the world go by me. Missing Blaze so much. I looked down to between my legs. Then looking up to Burnout.

" Um, Burnout can you turn around please?" Burnout looked at me strangely but then he then turned around, his eyes looking elsewhere.I sighed softly. " Never mind. It will never be the real thing. Blaze..." I said softly, feeling the pain when I said her name. I wanted to be with her so badly right now. I felt it's going to be hard for me to wait to see her. I needed to get to her.

" I sadly don't have a wife anymore." Burnout calmly said. " The Queen didn't care that I fell in love with an outsider. So she killed her in front of her foals. The Queen has some pretty stupid rules. Some make no sense to us at all. But we don't understand why she wishes to be so loved. But a lot of us can't do that for her. Since she has broken so many of us."

Looking outside again to see the castle. It was pretty far away. The giant wall that kept the citizens inside. Then looking back to him with a gentle smile.

" Are the citizens behind the wall snobby? I am sure they are since I was told by a ghoul from the past. That high society is very stuck up."

Burnout laughed softly. " No, they don't live like they are rich at all. They are just happy they live at all. So it's basically they live like it's well a day they will die. They may live like it's amazing but if you make nice to the Queen. You get to live wherever you wish. Get all the power you want as well."

Blinking a moment, I looking back outside. Remembering what the Sea ponies told me. That they had to find a way to go inside through the pipes of the water supplies for the castle. Maybe if we win this battle. I am going to tear it down. I couldn't sleep but I could sense the magic near my horn. I wished to bring it inside to try to heal my leg. Looking down to the bad left leg, I tried to stretch it out. But the pain was too much. I gasped and slowly tucked it back in.

" Whoa whoa. Don't overdo it Star Shooter. Your leg will heal. But they might have to open your leg up. Fix it through that way. The bone was twisted to the point your bone came out of the leg. It wasn't pleasant to see. I even hated the fact that cricket did that to you."

Giving a weak nod. Looking around calmly started to pace. I felt trapped. I was hoping we could get to the castle soon. But we had to go through the Griffin Minotaur lands.

" Burnout, How did the Griffins and Minotaurs get here?"

Burnout shrugged his shoulders. " The Griffins and the Minotaurs came here on many different ships. It took many years for them to even get their own lands. They are even ahead in technology. We have some guns but they have ten times more powerful guns. They brought a lot of them with them to. So I am amazed they haven't tried fighting the Queen at all. It's so amazing to me how weak she really is. But she doesn't wish to fight off any threats that want to harm her rule."

Blinking a moment looking back outside feeling my head hurt a bit. So many issues that would happen here. Looking back to Burnout.

"You got any magic? I could use some. I just need a little bit." I said with a weak smile. Burnout shook his head. I frowned, feeling the pain of want. But I need to beat this want. Closing my eyes, I reached for my magic sight once more. And to my surprise, I was finally able to use the magic sight. When I looked at the castle with the magic sight. I started to see that the raw magic was seeping out of the castle itself. The castle was the reason for the problems here?

Looking back to Burnout. I saw that he had powerful magic in him to. But I didn't know if it was wise to try to steal the magic from him. I sighed turning the sight off shaking my head. Looking back outside. Feeling my heart gently beat. I was thinking of Blaze. I wanted to be with her to the point I screamed her name. I needed her so much. Blaze...

Laying down again laying my head on the metal floor to relax. Feeling my head throb from the pain of missing her. But it's not just her I miss. I miss Jonon as well. I also wanted to get to know Dr. Slice. Maybe I could make him one of my friends. Slowly, I looked at Burnout.

" Will you wake me when we get to the Griffin Minotaur lands?" Burnout gave a nod with a gentle smile. But It would be a while before I am able to fall asleep. I slowly stood on my hooves and walked around calmly feeling my heartbeat. Looking out the window I watched the world slowly go by as we are in the Caravan. I smiled gently staring at the sun. It's something I missed, seeing the sun. Slowly I looked back at Burnout, still feeling weak. A stallion is here. I could use someone to ease my want. But I didn't wish to break the heart of Blaze.

The idea of having sex with a stallion that hurt me and used me is a bad idea. We may be a herd like race. But I still have class.

But I thought of how Blaze would feel. Her species do this to their females. So I don't wish to hurt her more. She is a wonderful Salamander. I wish she was here with me getting my face so bright red. That I looked like a walking tomato. Then I lay back down closing my eyes to rest. I breath softly wanting to try to sleep. I had to ignore the movement of the core of whatever is getting us to move. Feeling some bumps on the road.

Shifting a bit. I felt Burnout lifting my head with his magic using his side as a pillow. I smiled softly at him.

" Thank you Burnout. You didn't have to do this for me."

He gave a nod.

" I didn't but after what I did to you. I feel you deserve a little respect little hero." I calmly closed my eyes feeling my worry slowly drift away. Smelling burnt like fur. It just made me drift into a long sleep. Feeling myself finally dream after so long.

00000

I was dreaming that I was back in Equestria. I was even there with Blaze. She was wrapped around me like always. She held me close kissing me. I just needed to make this a real thing outside of the dreams. My dreams got to the point. I saw all my friends. Even my family. I miss my family and my friends. Looking at the fog but all of them vanish and Tiria came out of the fog. My eyes gently get larger. She calmly walked to me.

" Hello, little Star Shooter. It's good to see how much you have grown up." Blinking, I looked around calmly not sure how she knows I am grown up. But I calmly smiled at her.

" Hello, Tiria. I hope you aren't angry at me for falling in love with a none pony. I wish you were alive she is a wonderful gal. I miss her so much. I wish she was with me right now just holding me close whispering how red she would make me." Tiria smiles laughing softly.

" I am so proud of you Star Shooter! You have become a hero in an island that has been lost for so many years. I wish I wasn't just a figment of your mind to keep you from falling apart. But I am mostly here so you can feel yourself rest." I blinked. Was my brain that screwed up that I just said that to myself in a dream? I laughed softly at that fact that I just said that to myself.

" I understand maybe this was needed." Smiling gently, I calmly trotted to my friend. I nuzzled my friend, happy to see her again. Then she gave me a gentle hug laughing.

" I wish I would be there to see you get married little Star Shooter. I do know you will get married then you will be a happy Mare. I love seeing you smile. It's something that you need to do more often." I smiled calmly but felt myself frown as I looked down at my body. The scars didn't come to the dream.

" My body is pretty beat up. They even skinned me alive Tiria. Then attached me to some magic that healed me. I am lucky I was able to get all my fur back." Looking at my midnight black fur. Then to my cutie mark: the gun shooting stars. I smiled. I missed my cutie mark. I think my talent was shooting the very stars. But I doubt it I never really learned what the talent was that I got. I just remember protecting Tiria from the Enclave. It's pretty impressive how it works. I felt my heart beat even though I was asleep. Looking back to Tiria with a gentle smile sitting in front of her.

" So if you're here to help clean my mind. Does that mean I won't fall into a crazy spiral spontaneity?" Tiria laughs softly shaking her head. I felt she it was amazing that I was able to talk to her. But then I asked calmly.

" Are you with Sand?" Tiria's smile didn't change but looked at me calmly.

" Little one you know. I'm just here because your mind placed me here. I am sure Sand is taking care of Tiria in the land beyond our times river. I am sure you will meet her again along that river. Maybe when the river becomes what you need to learn. Then the river will be what you need to see."

I sighed. My brain was trying to be big with me. I didn't have the time in big ways. I calmly looked back at her. But I smiled at Tiria again. But maybe it was best to ask her.

" Tiria I am sure since your here. You're here because they tried so hard to break me and hurt me. They again broke me forced me to fight. They even found ways to keep me broken. I am now even addicted to magic. It's gotten to the point where I doubt I will be able to leave this island very easy. It's how I feel the pain of it to when I am away from it." Tiria nodded looking towards the darkness. Then back towards me. Then back towards the darkness.

" I think it's a way you will gain the ability to be stronger my friend. I think at times you will need to be strong. It's going to come to a point you need to be ready to fight my dear child. So soon, you better wake up. I mean it. Soon you better wake." I blinked not sure why she wanted me to wake so early.

I started to hear my name being said.

" Star Shooter wake up!!" I blinked hearing I looking towards the darkness. Then back to Tiria. I wanted to stay asleep longer. I need to talk to her more. I felt my heart break. I’m not sure what to do. Wake up see the pain fill me more? Or stay and exist without it? I didn't know what to do. I felt my pain fill me. I know I was waking up. But Tiria slowly vanished.

" Don't forget about me, my dear friend. Please remember who I am." Then I woke up.

Opening my eyes It was pretty dark and Burnout looked outside. Looking back at me.

" We are here." I stood up yawning a bit. We turned and it seems we are in the lands of the Minotaurs and the Griffins. Looking around seeing all the bodies from their wars. But then I heard some strange sounds. Then behind us, the wall exploded. Causing me to fly into the wall and smash my head. I felt my vision go dark.

At this rate, I think I might be getting brain damage....

Footnote: Still no level

Negative perk added.

Fully Broken: The six months are over and you have fully fallen into a broken heart. But there is hope the ones that did this to you are now trying to save you. If they save you they can get you to the rest of your friends and then you will finally be free of all the negativity you went through for six months
