I sighed. The food we had was short. We had been lucky today, finding that apple orchard. Even though most of the apples were rotten some of them were fine. Thats what we had for dinner. Apples, we would go to bed hungry again, I realized. But theres not much I can do about that now. Some time ago I wouldnt hurt a fly. Now I kill to survive. Being a unicorn helps alot with that, killing that is. I had a blue coat and a red mane and tail. My name was Blade. It seems like an odd name. But it makes more sense if you understand that my special talent is whittling. I could whittle anything. As long as I have seen it before. Now the knife I used for whittling is stained with the dried blood of the dead. Now you might wonder why I've been saying we instead of I. Thats because I am accompanied with my beautiful wife, Winter Song. With a white coat and a silver mane, she was probably the best looking earth pony mare of all time. She often cooked meals out of almost nothing. "Honey" she said, her soft voice reaching my ears, "You have to go to bed. Its a long walk to Canterlot." That's where we were headed. Canterlot, it has better security, therefore less people could have died. It seemed like a logical reason to go there. Alot of people think the same way. "Alright, in a little while. I just have some buisness I have to attend to." I said as I started to write a note to hang on the sign that was outside the apple orchard. Using my magic I picked up a pen and started writing. "The apples are all rotten or harvested, we are heading to Canterlot. I welcome you to join us." Then I scrawled in the date. I headed back over to the orchard, watching carefully where I stepped to make sure I kept sound to a minimum. When I got there I stuck the note through some nails that held the first sign up. That one simply said, Apple Family.


Well, that was a story. Anywho before you start correcting me like crazy I'm going to blame my grammar on something else. I'm half-Swedish. There's your explanation. OC's would be cool to have, not neccesary, but cool and useful.

Fun Fact: Blade's original name was going to be Whittler, because I have no fantasy. And then I realized if people started to mis-pronounce his name it would be dangerously close to Hitler. So it was changed to Blade.
