Chapter 1: Relocated

"Would you mind explaining to me how in Celestia's name you managed to burn down 20 miles of forest?" The midnight blue alicorn sighed.

"Would you believe it was an accident?" Replied the black stallion hopefully, he was a pegasus with a red and orange streaked mane and a flaming hoofprint cutie mark, he looked perfectly normal besides for one detail, he was missing his right wing.

"It depends on the circumstances."

"Well you know how I feel about Manticores right?"

"Yes"

"Well you see, I was sitting in my cottage watching the border with Griffonia just like you asked."

"Mhm"

"Well there was a Manticore nest just over the border about a ten minute walk from my cottage and there were some cubs who just wouldn't shut up, so I decided enough is enough they had been keeping me awake every night for weeks, I went over to the nest and watched it for a few days. Now one or two Manticores I can handle, however I do start getting a teensy bit worried when there's ten of the buckers."

"So you decided to set the forest on fire?"

"Nope that came later. I'd watched the nest to try and figure out how to "dispose" of them all and then it hit me, burn that shit!" He said all of this with a mad glint in his eye which made the lunar princess question his sanity, "So I started a fire at each entrance to the nest and it worked, mostly..."

"What do you mean "mostly"

"Well the fire started to spread nearby trees . I tried to put them out there wasn't any water nearby."

"So?"

"So I ran." The princess facehoofed.

Luna stared up at the beautiful night sky and then turned to the stallion. "Bonfire the only reason you are not in the Canterlot dungeons right now is because you are too useful to me and Tia." she sighed and then continued "This is your last chance, I want you to go to Ponyville and find one of my other agents."

"Fine. Who is he?"

"Oh I think that you know him already." Smirked the princess, she continued "Arthur."

"Arthur?"

"The very same." Bonfire had a look of absolute terror on his face "The self proclaimed wee mad bastard?"

"Yes."

"Luna if you want me dead you can just have the royal guard execute me." The princess just smiled. "I hate you." Bonfire sighed.

"Oh and one more thing before you go, there is somepony else I want you to meet he calls himself the doctor."

"What does he look like?"

"You will know when you have met him."

"For bucks sake." And with that Bonfire walked out of the princess' private chambers.

Authors note: If you like this so far then great, if you didn't then tell me why and I will try to improve my writing. Chapters after this one will be much longer and hopefully much better. To anyone who plans to keep reading this I can't promise frequent updates as most of the time it is hard for me to write, however I will try to update once every two weeks.

Remember R&R.
