Love in Banishment
The first day
28 years ago
Crescent tried to kill two major rulers, Princess Cadence from the Crystal Empire and Queen Lightning Flare from Cloud Kingdom. She fought against Night and lost, Crescent was spared the penalty of death but was now banished from Equestria.
"Where are you talking me?!" shouted Crescent as she desperately look at the two guardsmen, who carried her closer and closer to the Everfree forest.
"Where do you think? The Everfree forest" answered one of the guardsmen
"Where you're going to spend the rest of your days" said the second guardsmen
"We're here" said the first
"No wait!" Crescent struggled against the guardsmen, trying to free herself. But against two stallions she had no chance, Crescent was forcefully thrown into the forest. Crescent stood up and looks around her new home.
"Don't leave me here!" shouted Crescent, she wanted to run back and away from this forest. But she knew that the very moment she step a hoof on Equestria soil, she would be killed on the spot without any mercy.
"The Everfree forest" whispered Crescent as she started to walk further into the forest. Crescent notice veins hanging from trees, connecting to others, the strange grass or what seemed to be grass, weird rocks and glowing eyes "I'm not alone"
Meanwhile in Canterlot castle, the royal guards were on high alert. Celestia will be choosing the first group of guardsmen to watch the forest, and assured that Crescent wouldn't renter Equestria.
"I want to go!" shouted a unicorn guardsman
"I don't" said another guardsman "That's Could Kingdom and the Crystal Empire's job"
"She attack Canterlot" said the first guardsman
"Attention!" the guardsmen all turned around and bowed at Celestia
"I've decided who will be the first team to watch the forest" shouted Celestia as she took out a list
"Watch the Everfree forest" thought a light green mane, guardsman
One by one, Celestia named the team on which will watch the forest. The ponies she chooses were happy, some upset and others didn't care and saw it has another job.
"And the final one is Strong Steed" said Celestia as she smiled at him
"What? Me?" ask Strong as he look at his fellow royal guards
"Yes you" said Celestia as she gave her list to another pony "You leave right now"
"Yes your highness!" shouted the royal guards
"Don't let her back into Equestria! I don't want her to attack the royal family again!" shouted Celestia with a firm tone "She's never going to hurt my family again and I'll make sure of it"
Crescent managed to find some shelter inside a cave, she did hesitated to enter since she had no idea who was in there.
"I'm going to die here!" said Crescent while she cautiously look around the forest "How could they do this too me?!" Crescent went further into the cave and sat down "Of course they did this to me, I'm the who attack two major rulers. I tried to kill them and attack Canterlot, I'm the worst enemy of the royal family"
Cracking sounds filled the forest, Crescent look around and went near the cave's entrance. Crescent looks around and saw glowing eyes, she quickly place a barrier on the cave's entrance. Crescent immediately felt her power drain, Crescent fell onto the ground and stop her spell.
"H….ho…how could I forget about my 10% magic" panted Crescent as she anxiously watch the cave's entrance
"We'll be separated into three teams! The pegasusi will take the sky, the earth ponies and unicorns will take the ground" ordered a solar guardsman as he walk up and down, the everfree's border
"Yes sir!" shouted the guardsmen
"Strong Steed take the south border" said the guardsman
"Yes sir!" Strong made his way to his position, he glance back at his team and saw the pegasusi take flight. Strong arrived at his post and just stared into the forest, the darkness filled the forest, the animals acting strange and the Timberwolves ruling the forest "How can anypony live here?"
Crescent anxiously waited until the howls were finally over, she had time to rest and regains her strength
"I HATE THIS FOREST!" shouted Crescent as she bolted towards the borders
"It's so quiet" thought Strong while he walk down the border
'Crack'
"What?" Strong located the sound and went to investigate the sound
"I can't do it! I can't live in this forest!" Said Crescent as she stood near the edges of the forest, Crescent look around hoping that nopony would see her. She took a deep breath and step onto Equestria's soil, Crescent look around anther time and smile.
"I have to leave right away" thought Crescent while she continued to look around her surroundings "If anypony see me, I'll be dead on the spot"
"HALT!" Crescent turned around and was in horror, a solar guardsmen was running towards her
"A solar guard" thought Crescent while she stared at him in horror and fear
"Crescent Quill" whispered Strong, he couldn't believe that he was facing her. He was facing Crescent Quill, the enemy against Equestria and he was supposed to kill her.
"What are you going to do?" ask Crescent while she simply stared at her fate
"Do?" ask Strong as he look at his hidden blade, Strong activated his blade and stared at Crescent
"Don't disobey you're orders and just get it over with" said Crescent as she closed her eyes, Crescent took a deep breath and waited. Strong lifted his blade and just stared at Crescent, he knew what he was suppose to do, he knew the punishment, he had to do it, he must do it but can he?
