Payne Pov
It's been three days since my escape from the abandoned bio weapons lab. In that time I've been surviving in this forest. I've also encountered a strange 'blue flower'. When shaken it releases a strange powder that I assume is poisonous, so I took extra care to ensure it didn't touch my skin. I should also note, not too far from my "emergence point" there is a village of multicolored ponies. now if you're reading this, that isn't a typo, I said ponies. They also appear to be sentient as I've noticed them talking. I have also seen a few of them wearing articles of clothing as well, such as hats.
As far as I can tell,there are three types of them, Unicorns, Pegasi, and normal ponies. I have observed them all moving toward the middle of the village. I've decided to go out on a limb and investigate. I left the concealment of the tree I was hiding in. As I left the tree line,I saw a few buildings I hadn't noticed before,such as a small Hobbit hole of a cottage or a giant gingerbread house. "Strange." I thought to myself. I made my way across the small bridge leading into the small town. I swiftly climbed the nearest building and followed the crowd. I eventually ended up on the tallest building in town, I assumed it was the town hall judging by its shape and size. The crowd eventually made its way inside, I needed a convincing disguise if I wanted to get in there. I waited for an opportunity to arise and lo and behold there it was. Coming around a corner there was a gray Pegasus with a blonde mane and golden eyes which were also looking in opposite directions. I reached into my pouch and took out a single tranquilizer dart. I slipped it between my fingers and waited for my unknowing donor to come into range. A few seconds later, I threw the sleep inducing projectile at my quarry. The effect was almost instantaneous, it hit the Pegasus right between the shoulder blades. It didn't even feel the dart...at least I hope it didn't. I made them with a very thin and hollow point that is wide enough to administer the wide variety of poisons I employ to my use, but thin enough to mostly go unnoticed.
I dropped from the top of the roof and landed in a bush. I walked over to the unconscious Pegasus and plucked two hairs from her mane. I looked at them for a couple of seconds before they melted into my skin, I was ready to change into my new form, but I needed to do it away from the prying eyes that could see it. So I hopped into the bush once more.
No POV
About twenty seconds after the Assassin jumped into the bush, a gray Alicorn with a red mane emerged and looked himself. "Hmm." he mumbled. "I should probably ditch the horn." he whispered to himself. And no sooner had he thought it his horn lit up with a gray aura and vanished. "Hmm." He felt around on his head and found his horn was only invisible. Well I guess that will work. He then walked over to the bush he seemingly spawned from and pulled a saddle bag from it and placed it on his back. "I Can't leave my stuff here can I now." he asked himself. He pulled a cloak from the bag and put it on. He then walked up the stairs and into the building.(clumsily by the way) Once he entered he received several strange looks from various ponies but he ignored them. The mayor then came out and announced the Princess(yes this takes place during episode 1 in case you haven't figured it out yet)The curtains parted to reveal...nothing. "I'm not surprised, A Princess coming to a small hamlet such as this... enough said." the Assassin pondered to himself. Ponies started to panic when all of a sudden, a strange mist started to appear on the balcony and formed into a shape quite similar to the one the Assassin was in right now.
it had a horn and wings just like the Assassin, yet in addition. it wore a strange set of armor composed of a helmet a chestplate and knee high greaves. overall it didn't offer much in the way of protection, it was probably more for intimidation tactics if anything.
"Oh it feels wonderful to be back sfter so long." the armored being questioned. "What have you done with the Princess!?" A rainbow maned pony demanded. "what?Does my crown no longer count after being trapped on the moon for a thousand years? Does nopony remember who I am?" The evil queen wannabe questioned." I know who you are." a Purple unicorn announced. "Your the mare in the moon...Nightmare Moon!" Everyone except the Unicorn, new Alicorn, and disguised Alicorn gasped. "Well it's nice to know someone still remembers me." Nightmare moon laughed. she stopped laughing once she noticed the incognito Assassin. "you there."she said to the Assassin. "What is your name?" she asked. He flinched under the stares he got from the rooms many inhabitants. Come on Payne think..."Shadow Wing! he hastily said."Strange name for an earth pony." she replied. "Well I'm a Pegasus." the Assassin replied. "Really now,then show me your wings. He hesitantly did so and undid his cloak and put it in his saddle bag. While he did so, he didn't notice the magic bolt sailing toward him. He cried out when the projectile hit him and heard several more gasps, he looked around and noticed several astonished faces. "What?" He asked, he then looked up and noticed his horn was visible..." oh...Well crap."
