>Your face grew pale at that.
-
9.
>Ponies in the crowd around you started shouting in outrage but you couldn't find your voice.
-
10.
>It wasn't because your anger had dissipated.
-
11.
>You've never been this angry at a pony in your life.
-
12.
>It was the implications of what was happening.
-
13.
>Manos, the Lord of Fate read on.
-
14.
>"execution of subjects deemed 'unfit' or as 'failures' most commonly foals..."
-
15.
>The rest of what your lord said was lost to your own breakdown.
-
16.
>He couldn't have...
-
17.
>Looking at the accused, Copper Coin, you could hardly believe it.
-
18.
>You didn't think Copper ever had a malicious bone in his body.
-
19.
>You grew up with him.
-
20.
>You trusted him!
-
21.
>And your trust gave him the ability to experiment on foals.
-
22.
>Your stomach lurched and you had to push your way through nearly a dozen ponies to get to a damned trash can.
-
23.
>None of it got on your Black Hand uniform but it hardly mattered to you at the moment.
-
24.
>You needed to leave.
-
25.
>To be anywhere but here.
-
26.
>Nopony would notice you over what was happening on stage.
-
27.
>As you get past the last of the ponies crowded around the square you look back for... you aren't really too sure why you did that.
-
28.
>However, if you hadn't, you wouldn't have caught sight Honor Bound up on stage.
-
29.
>He was looking straight at you.
-
30.
>You pretended not to notice his eyes opting to turn tail and head to your home.
-
31.
>Maybe a nice shower would do the trick.
-
32.
-
33.
>You stumbled through the door entering into your darkened living room.
-
34.
>You fumbled around the wall for a minute searching for the light switch.
-
35.
>How the heck do you forget where the light switch was anyways?
-
36.
>You lived here.
-
37.
>You eventually find it and obviously, you flip it.
-
38.
>"SURPRISE!!!"
-
39.
>You poked your head out from behind the couch you dove behind when your wits come about you.
-
40.
>A banner hanging near the ceiling read, 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY CRYSTAL NIGHT!'
-
41.
>You stared blankly at the scene.
-
42.
>You forgot your birthday?
-
43.
>You picked yourself up put on a winning smile and hoped it was convincing.
-
44.
>The truth was that any other day you would have welcomed this.
-
45.
>But not today.
-
46.
>Not after what you learned.
-
47.
>A pony like you didn't deserve a party.
-
48.
>However no pony could know so you played the part.
-
49.
>"Hey, you got me!"
-
50.
>Your brother trots over to you and drapes a wing around your shoulder.
-
51.
>"Sure did get you. Should have seen the look on your face. I'm sure ponies would line up for centuries to see it.
-
52.
"I'm sure you're just exaggerating, Malachite. Anyways you think mom would mind if I slipped away for a shower? I could really use one but you know how she gets."
-
53.
>"No no. Go ahead, I'll cover for you."
-
54.
>With that you, made your way upstairs.
-
55.
>You couldn't have gotten away from them faster if you tried.
-
56.
>Your chest felt so heavy it felt like you were being crushed by the judgement of Manos himself.
-
57.
>You uniform found itself scattered across the bathroom floor.
-
58.
>Normally it would be on a hanger on the door but you couldn't be damned to care right now.
-
59.
>With shaky breaths the water came on and steam filled your little bathroom.
-
60.
>Your throat started to burn as you tried desperately to hold back sobs.
-
61.
>But try as you might, you failed.
-
62.
>First came the tears, then you body shuddered and heaved as you lost all of your composure curled upon the floor of your shower.
-
63.
>But you were silent in your grief.
-
64.
>Or at least you were close enough to it that the running water drowned it out.
-
65.
>The faces of fillies and colts flashed before your vision making you curl up tighter.
-
66.
>Nopony could ever know you were the pony that made this tragedy possible.
-
67.
>Slowly you gathered yourself and threw on your uniform and headed down to the party you didn't deserve.
-
68.
>With that winning smile of course.
-
69.
>Nopony could ever know...
