Author's Notes:

Saints of the bloody blade,
Quick is the silver and deep is the wound.

Minds of a fallen age,
Chosen to suffer the bringers of doom.

Wisdom and wind,
And power from within,
We call.

In the changeling camp, a single samurai hones his skills through intense training. His eyes are blondfolded so he cannot see what's in front of him but his other senses are hightened; he can hear the faint sound of footsteps all around him and creaking of leather sandals his opponets surround him in a circle yet he stands as still as a statue and waits for the right moment to strike.

"HAJIME!!" Shouts an elderly voice as a flurry of wooden swords come swinging from every direction only to be parried away before their wielders were struck down in rapid sucession, leaving a circle of bruised trainees and broken swords. The samurai was none other than the changeling queens own Crafty Dodger who had been preparing for a special night raid after receiving some intelligence from their new allies; The Warborn Clan and The Knights of The Golden Sun.

Thanks to the map discovered by Wulfric and the information attained by Shining Armor, the allied forces had discovered the location of Princess Twilight Sparkle who was sold into slavery after Dainn took over Equestria.

The king tried to force Twilight into giving him the secret of how she became an Alicorn but there was no secret, Twilight kept telling him over and over that she had earned her wings and status but Dainn would not believe her and accused her of witchcraft then sentenced her to enslavement until she revealed the truth he wanted to hear.

The one who had bought Twilight was a slave trader named Olaf who delighted in sexually torturing females until they broke. Twilight was no acception.

Olaf's Manor

In the basement of Olaf's home, the sound of thumping and grunting could be heard followed by the moans of a helpless mare being raped.

Twilight screamed to the heavens as Olaf rammed into over womb and over with her tongue hanging out like a dog in the hot sun, the princess squirmed and whimpered while trying to resist the waves of pleasure ravaging her body but thanks to a special herbal mix she was given and the scent coming off the candles around her, she was not able to stop herself from moaning and screaming as her body was filled with her captors seed.

The princess had been forced to walk on all fours with a leather strap tied around the base of her tail to make it easy for males to enter her while her horn was made into a necklace for Olaf and her wings encased in black boxes.

Olaf was another stonehoof slaver from Canterlot who had made a fortune on selling young mares to corrupt nobles. When he was not raping the princess himself, Olaf would throw her to his diamond dog soldiers or war beasts just to see her moan and cry while demeaning her and insulting her very existence in an attempt to break her yet still his new slave would not bow to his rule.

"Ya like that don't you whore?" He asked while pulling Twilights mane and going faster.

"Just hurry up you lard ass!" The princess spat back and gritted her teeth as he began to spank her repeatedly.

"Maybe a night with the dogs will change your tune!" Olaf threatened when he noticed Twilight grinning.

"At least they can last more than five minuets!"

"You little bitch!!" The slaver yelled angrily before pulling out and ramming into her flank. Twilight screamed at the top of her lungs when she felt the burning sensation of her tailhole being penetrated while her captor slammed in over and over before finally climaxing inside her and letting her flop to the ground covered in sweat and semen.

"You're lucky the king wants you alive. He's got plans for you." The stag said while hiking up his pants.

"He's no king....he's a bastard." Twilight replied with a defiant look in her eyes; a look that made Olafs blood boil.

"Guards! This bitch gets no food or water. Three days!"

The slaver was finished with Twilights attitude and decided to break her for good but little did he know was that a certain visitor was paying his manor a visit that night.

Crafty Dodger had made his way to the manor under the cover of a moonless night and thanks to his abilities as a changeling he was able to disguise himself among the guards and servants. He saw many female slaves in rags and chains scrubbing the floor of the estate while guards lifted their skirts up to peek at their flanks knowing they could do nothing about it.

To find out where Twilight was being held, the orochi used his magic to transform into one of the guards he had taken out and asked where he could find the dungeons while trying not to rouse suspicion.

"Hey guys. Do you know where the dungeons are? This place is like a maze."

"Oh I see. Lookin' to get a taste of the former princess eh?" A caribou joked while handing him the keys.

"Just head straight down this hallway and uh...between you and me. That little bitch loves a good tit squeezing." The stag whispered lustfully before letting the changeling pass through.

With the location of the prison found, the orochi snuck to the nearest window and launched a red flare and within moments the entire manor was swarmed by samurai coming out of the shadows with Queen Chrysalis leading the charge.

"Hello boys~." The queen waved at the first squad of guards playfully before brandishing her naginata; a long spear with a curved blade at the end. The canterlot guards began to quiver in fear after remembering her from the royal wedding but the stonehooves were not intimidated at all and rushed her from all sides.

"Ohh what fun!" Chrysalis giggled as she began slicing them to bits with a fighting style that made her look like she was dancing a ballet and by the time she was done, her blade was dripping with the blood of her enemies yet she seemed disappointed.

"Pity. I was hoping they would put up more of a fight but the night is young."

In that moment, the queens eyes turned to the canterlot guards who were still frozen by fear and soon found themselves screaming for mercy as flashes of silver danced around in the night air.

Inside The Manor

Olaf was pacing around his private chambers while the battle raged on outside and from what he could hear, it was not going well. Twilight was chained in the corner of the room with a blank expression on her face unaware of what was happening around her, her mind was a complete mess thanks to an overdose of drugs meant to keep her senses dulled so that she would not struggle.

Outside the chamber were the elite guard of Olaf's manor and among that group was Crafty Dodger in his disguise.

"Be ready men!" Said the squads captain standing at the fron as the fighting grew louder.

"Hey. We're dealing with Changelings right?" Asked one of the guards.

"Aren't they supposed to be shapeshifters?"

"Yeah but you'd have to be a complete idiot not to notice one." Answered a second guard when a flash of green appeared out of nowhere followed by a flash of silver that cut open the two guards at the rear.

"An idiot eh? Well I guess you two win that prize."

The guards turned around to see a single changeling standing before them with his sword now dripping blood from the first two victims.

"Let me make one thing clear. None of you are getting out of here alive." The orochi warned his foes only to have them laugh in his face.

"Is this some kind of joke?" Said the captain as he bragged about their superior numbers.

"There's at least twenty of us and only one of you!"

"True. You should've brought more." The orochi replied before a puff of smoke appeared out of nowhere and the walls began to stain with blood.

Just beyond the door, Olaf could hear the dying screams of his men being butchered one after the other and just as the last soldier cried out in agony everything became eerily quiet. The slave master leaned an ear against the door but didn't hear a thing.

"I think they got him." He told himself before slowly opening the door. A flash of silver blinded the caribou for a moment when he felt the sting of the orochi's blade cleaving a wound in his chest deep enough for him to bleed to death.

"You bastard!" The old stag hissed as he laid in a pool of his own blood.

The orochi stood over his dying victim while cleaning off his blade and told him a very interesting fact about one of Equestria's insects.

"Did you know that the Star Spider didn't just get its name because of the star shape on its abdomen but also its venom?"

"W-what do you mean?!?" The slave master wheezed before he began to see spots all around the room.

"Star Spider venom is very lethal, a single bite can cause one to become disoriented and off balance before they begin seeing flashes of light then succumb to paralysis and cardiac arrest; in short, it literally makes you see stars."

It was after that moment, the slave master choked on his final breath and Crafty Dodger was able to rescue the captive. By morning, the entire estate was filled with the bodies of stonehoof warriors and royal guards.

The Next Morning

Twilight had begun to awake from her drug enduced slumber when she found herself in a bed and fully clothed, the black boxes that once covered her wings had been removed and her horn somehow reattached itself to her head and was bandaged. At first, she thought this was a dream until she heard the familiar voice of her big brother who was sitting by her bedside.

"Welcome back." Shining Armor said softly while holding his sisters hand to let her know it wasn't a dream. There were no words to describe how Twilight felt when she saw the gentle smile if her big brother greeting her as tears streamed down her face and despite her injuries, the princess sprang from the bed and wrapped her arms around her brother crying tears of joy.

"Shining Armor!" Twilight cried as she tightened her embrace while crying on his shoulder.

"Shhh. It's alright little sis." The prince whispered while stroking the back of her head with a few tears of his own.

"I promise, I won't let anyone hurt you again."

He laid her back down to rest as her friends rushed into the tent and gently surrounding her in a group hug.

"I thought I'd never see you girls again!" Twilight weeped while leaning against Fluttershy.

"We sure did miss you sugarcube." Said Applejack wiping a tear from her face along with Rainbow Dash who was holding her friends hand.

"This calls for a party!!" Shouted Pinkie Pie who immediately rushed out the tent to plan the celebration.

"I'm so glad to see all of you...but how did I get here?" The princess asked when Crafty Dodger stepped into the tent. Twilight was shocked at first when she saw he was a changeling until he humbly folded his hands and bowed to the princess to show his respect.

"I am glad you are well Princess Twilight, my name is Crafty Dodger."

"Um...a pleasure to meet you." Twilight responded.

"Now if you'll excuse me. I must report back to my queen."

With another bow, the orochi left the tent in a respectful manner while Twilight laid in her bed, a little bit confused and asked her friends what was going on. They were more than happy to share the story.

"Have we got a story for you." Said Rainbow Dash who began telling Twilight of The Warborn Clan and their chieftain before Fluttershy told her of the samurai they met in the swamp and how both armies joined up with Shining Armor. Twilight's only regret was that she did not have a parchment and quill to write it all down.

End.
