>Even dealing with him, though gendering the Outsider is as laughable as making a deal with him.

>Using his gifts, and your skill you were able to swiftly deal with the corruption that led to the Empress' death.

>However, you weren't peerless nor limitless.

>Time made you wise but slow

>Despite never wetting your blade, you eventually fell.

>Emily was able to succeed where you failed, but that knowledge was the last kindness shown to you
-

>You were his plaything in the Void.

>Not quite bored with you he puts you into situations to see how you will act.
-
10.
>Sending you to every corner of world he touches to live again and do whatever bidding would entertain him.
-
11.
>Luckily, or unluckily you missed you next destination.
-
12.
>Something happened inside the Void, and he became silent.
-
13.
>You've gone beyond even the Void's reach, and broken through into the realm of another.
-
14.
>There are many "Voids" here
-
15.
>One of the warm bright invigorating summer, the cool sleepy calming autumn, the lifegiving almost pink spring, the dark dead black winter, the ever-shifting madness of eternal possibilities, the loveless emerald expanse, and a few others that you couldn't get any meaning from.

Emily could, she was always bright. Much like her mother.
-
17.
>Without any action from you both the black and pink voids pulled at you, the pink slightly stronger just by being larger
-
18.
>You pulled your blade, ready to fight whatever may be ahead of you.
-
19.
I will face whatever I must, Emily lives and is prosperous. Nothing else matters.
-
20.
>Suddenly a small white light within the pink surged and pulled you towards it with momentous force.

22.
>You are Flurry Heart
-
23.
>Your horn itches.
-
24.
>Where's Whammy?
-
25.
>You grab your friend and hug her close
-
26.
>You then bite her head gently
-
27.
>Bright light!
-
28.
>Loud noise!
-
29.
>Scary monster!

WAAAAAAAAAA!

>You are an anonymous man
-
34.
>The crying of a babe adds to the pain of your forceful reentry into the world, specifically the floor.
-
35.
>In a practiced motion you're back on your feet, and looking around.
-
36.
>It's dark, but you can see that the floors and walls are made out of some crystalline material.
-
37.
>You have little time to get your bearings before a door opens and light floods into the room.
-
38.
>"Flurry, I thou- GUARDS, CODE SOMBER!" the pink horse shouts
-
39.
>Before you can react a beam of light fires from the horse's head.
-
40.
>You jump away, but the light clips your leg shooting pain throughout your body and forcing you backwards
-
41.
>You're on your feet again in a second, and are missed by a second shot.
-
42.
>You pull your cross bow and take aim at her, firing the tranquilizer.
-
43.
>However it is surrounded by the same pink light and tossed away
-
44.
>She throws around her powers effortlessly more than anyone marked, perhaps she is the Outsider of this place or at least is heavily favored by it.
-
45.
>Gathering you wits you bend time to a crawl and make for the window as more horses run in, some with horns aglow.
-
46.
>As you run you watch the pink horse, her eyes following you becoming wider as you flee.
-
47.
>Her motions no longer crawl with her peers, and she is soon matching your speed, and you soon see why.
-
48.
>Dagger still in hand, you pass the crib with a very small white horse inside.
-
49.
Dammit all.
-
50.
>Using more power you blink past the crib and to the window before leaping into the night
-
51.
-
52.
>You are Princess Mi Amore Cadenza
-
53.
>No one may call you Cadence tonight.
-
54.
>"Where's the threat? Where's Flurry?!" Your husband asks appropriately frantic.
-
55.
Flurry isn't hurt, I managed to chase her off. I couldn't see a tail, so I'm not sure if she was a minotaur or dragon.
-
56.
>"Any details on her?"
-
57.
She was an assassin, masked, and bipedal. And she used dark magic.
-
58.
-
59.
>"Guardsmares, alert all patrols. High alert, we have an assassin in the Crystal Empire who made it into the Princess Imperial's room. Armed, armored, and dangerous. Be on the lookout for a bipedal cow or dragoness. If found send word to myself of Princess Cadenza, do not engage. Three mare teams!"
-
60.
>Knowing that his daughter is safe Shining is back to being the capable guard captain he always was.
-
61.
Shining, we also need to alert Aunt Celestia, and Twilight. None of our wards or alarms were triggered, and if Flurry hadn't cried I wouldn't have even known to come in her room.
-
62.
>"It's ok, you protected her. And my guards are the best around, she will face justice. Come on, you need to do a princess' duty for a bit and assure the staff."
-
63.
>You can't even force a smile or agreement with his words.
-
64.
>You nearly failed in your primary mission as both a mare and a mother.
-
65.
>It may be feminine pride, but you cannot allow it to stand.
-
66.
Take Flurry and keep her shielded with the heart, we don't know if she was only after our daughter. And the heart will offer protection against her magic.
-
67.
>Before any argument could be made, you took wing and flew out of the window in the path of the one who would attack your family.
-
68.
>Tonight, you do a mare's duty.
