Chapter 29: Dusk’s Controlled Rage

Dusk was disgusted by what he sees. There were a group of five mares and two stallions harassing a gray coated pegasus. She is on the ground, with various letters scattered everywhere, and he notices that some of them have been ripped in half. She is taking the full force of the verbal assault.

“Ha, Derpy Hooves strikes again.” Maliciously teases one of the mares.

“Maybe you need to get your eyes fixed, Derpy.”

“Shut up just SHUT UP!” She yells back at them. Dusk could easily tell that she was very upset at the group, but he decides that he didn’t need to unnecessarily rush in to something that he didn’t understand.

“Aww, is itty bitty Doo Doo mad.” She picks an intact letter. “Well you’re about to get madder.” She rips up the letter into tiny shreds.

“NO!” She begins to tear up.

“You must be a terrible mailmare is you can’t deliver all these letters.” She shows the gray pegasus all of the letters that the group has torn up. “It makes me think, maybe your as bad a mailmare as you are a parent. I don’t think that poor Dinky-”

“NO STOP!” She cries

Dusk couldn’t handle it anymore. It went against his morals, to see somepony being mentally abused like that.

“I don’t think that you should-” The stallion is stopped by an infuriated Dusk.

“What the buck is wrong with all you ponies?” He metaphorically asks in a quiet, but very threatening tone. “You’re making this pegasus’s life living hay, for your own sickening sense humour.”

A few of the ponies in the group look unsettled, but all of the other are somewhat smug. “Ha, this is coming from somepony, with enough bandages on them to supply the hospital for a year.” Taunts the bigger stallion.

Dusk is getting more frustrated at the small group, “This isn’t about me, it’s about her. How low could you go, to insult her as a mailmare and as a mother.” Four of the ponies look guilty for what they had done, but two of the mares and the large stallion still kept their smug facade.

‘I reckon that those three will be a problem, whereas the rest of them probably just thought that this was funny at the time, but now realize what they are really doing.’

“All of you are acting like little foals.” He says in an aggravated tone. “You should-”

One of the mares interrupts Dusk, “I think that you are taking things too seriously, we are just having a bit of fun with Ditzy.”

Dusk gives her a sceptical look. “Oh yeah? You called her a bad mailmare and mother, you tore up the letters that she is supposed to deliver and she is crying because of you. ARE YOU BUCKING KIDDING ME?!” Dusk decides to stop trying to guilt trip the last three of the group, and started to use intimidation tactics, as is the case with Level 3 Anger.

“YOU SEE THAT SOMEPONY HAS CRASHED, AND THE FIRST THING THAT YOU DO IS TO ABUSE HER, AND RIP UP HER LIVELIHOOD!” He could see them start to waver, so he makes himself look bigger than he actually is, and stands at an aggressive posture, while threateningly moving closer to them.

“YOU SHOULD BE BUCKING ASHAMED OF YOURSELF, get out of my sight.” He finishes in a deathly tone. This scares the remaining three enough, and they run away.

Dusk calms down, and walks up to the mailmare, who had stopped crying and starts looking at him. something that shocks Dusk are her yellow eyes. One eye is looking at Dusk while the other is looking in another direction, but other than that she looks pretty normal. She has a medium blond mane, and bubbles for a cutie mark.

“So are you alright?” Dusk asks her.

“Yes, thank you for helping me with them Mr...”

“Dusk, my name’s Dusk.”

They had both picked up all of the intact letters that were on the ground, and Dusk had agreed to meet her at the post office later, to explain what happened to her boss, about the ripped letters.

“So, Ditzy, how did you crash in the first place?” Asks Dusk, who is curious about the subject.

“I was flying around, and because of these eyes of mine, I couldn’t see the tree in front of me, and I crashed into it. Sadly, some ponies like to make fun of me, but I have never had anypony rip up the letters, or call me a bad mother.”

“That was a very low blow for them to say that.” He says dejectedly

“Why did you help me before Dusk?” She asks

“Instinct. It’s part of my nature to try and help anypony who is upset... unless I don’t like them.”

“So do you know how to get to the Post Office?”

“Yeah, so I need to get there in 30 minutes.”

“Yep.”

----------

Dusk began walking towards town, and decides to get buy himself something to eat, before he arrives at the Post Office. He walks towards the markets near the center of the town and checks out the various wares of all of the food vendors that are still open.

After five minutes, he finds something that he would like to eat, in the carrot stall.

"Hello miss, can I buy some carrot cake?" He asks the mare, who is running the stall.

"Certainly, that'll be 4 bits."

The store owner had a cream colored coat, and a long, curly orange mane and tail. She has green eyes and a bunch of carrots as her cutie mark. He gives her the required bits, and starts to eat the cake on the way to the Post Office.
