The light flickered as the tall purple alicorn walked across the stone floors. Her hoofs making a tapping sound every time her hoof hit the ground, her purple mane bouncing with each step. Soon she came to a cell door that a broken body of pony. She looked at the blood covering the floor with satisfaction before turning and asking the guard at the door.

"Has he been tortured again?"

"Yes Princess, he still refuse to talk."

"Well then, I'll see about that."

The door opened and she walked in and stood over the broken body. Now that she was closer she could see the damage caused much better. The ponies cutie mark of three gears with a wrench in the middle had a blood splotch on the left gear. And his short mane that once was all black with a streak of red was covered in dry blood. The rest of his body broken with cuts, bruises, and blood everywhere.

"This is your last chance." She warned the mare."Tell where it is and you're free to go."

The pony turned to face the alicorn as a grin spread across his face. He spit blood at her feet.

"Never." He replied in a alarmingly hoarse voice.

"Very well then. You are of no use to me. You shall be executed." She said as she walked out of the cell, the door slamming shut behind her. She turned to the guard and spoke loudly enough for the mare to hear.

"The prisoner that died this morning, have him take his spot."

"Very well Princess, tomorrow morning correct?"

"Yes. And I expect it to be public." She said as she walked away, her purple mane reflected in the dim light of the lamps. Once she walked away the guard turned to the mare and said.

"You know. If you give us the information you'll be allowed to live." In response the mare stayed silent, facing the opposite wall.

"Whatever, your life." He said as he turned back around. What he didn't know is that the pony would live, he was hatching a escape plan, and all he needed was to go outside. And thats where he would be taken to be executed.

24 hours later

The mare had to squint as he was dragged outside from the prison. It was his first time in months that he had seen the sun, as the cell he was in was so deep underground that no solitary beam of sun could survive the long trip down. He look at the gallows. "Hanging me. Abit old fashion but it does sent a message. Now lets concentrate." He closed his eyes and began to mutter something under his breath.

The Princess sat straight in front and above of the gallows in order to get a good view. Usually she didn't kill unless she had to, but this time she had to send a message. She thought back to when Celestia and Luna were still alive and in charge, and wondered if they ever kill'd someone. She quickly shook the thought out of her head."Celestia and Luna would never kill someone." They the executioner began speaking.

"Do you Princess Twilight, give consent to executioner this pony?"The mare asked.

"I do." She replied.

"And do you...eh...whats your name?" The executioner asked the mare. The mare looked up and said,

"Dusk Wisp. My name is Dusk Wisp."

"Very well then," The executioner cleared his throat." Do you Dusk Wisp, give the information that would allow you to live?" He asked staring straight at him. INstead of returning the look he glared at Twilight.

"I've said it again, and I'll say it now. I will NEVER tell you the location of the crystal." This sent some murmurs around the crowd. They thought Dusk Wisp had committed treason against equestria, and in this time of war that was something that could not be stood for. But the not giving the location of the crystal, a massive crystal that held more raw magic power then all of the Princess, the most powerful pony alive, was horrible. Why won't he give up the information? It was key to Equestrians survival.

"Very well then. The executioner said before he placed a hood on Dusk Wisp and his face. He then walked over to the lever. But before he could pull it something happened. Streams of magic came from Dusk, a small line at first, then growing into several ribbons that encased his body. The ribbons got tighter and tighter and sparks began to fly off them now. Everyone in the audience was too amazed by the fact that the mare, a pegasus, was using magic. But then the Twilight realized what the spell was.

"Quickly! STOP HIM! PULL THE LEVER! PULL THE LEVER!" She screamed but it was too late. In a explosion of sparks and magic he was gone, leaving everyone with their mouths open.

"We must find him immediately!" Twilight screamed as she ran inside. Now she would have to find the pegasus and organize a search party. But it would have to be huge. The information that he had was needed, badly. So badly that the rope would 'break' when the lever was pushed, giving him extra time to give over the information. But now, now it was serious. "If I dont find him soon, the changelings will. And they'll force him to use his powers against us." And with a shudder she ran towards the war room.

I think that went well for what, a second time? Eh, I'll post more soon. Tell me if you like it or not! Also I'm going to need a few more chacters so feel free to give me some ideas or even entire ponies!
