My Little Pony: Friendship Is Dishonored
I looked down to the grate in the wall. Normally, such a thing would be used as a drain, but in this case, it would serve as my execution. Already the scratch of tiny claws could be heard deep within the bowels of the iron piping.
As the first rat poked its head through the hole it the wall, I forced myself to stifle a groan. The small rodent just sat on the floor for what seemed like an eternity, staring up at the me.
"Just eat me already, damn it!" Almost like it had been awaiting my permission, the rat squeaked and scurried over to my bare leg, where it was quickly joined by dozens of its brethren.
It was all I could do to hold back my cries as the rats tore into my bare flesh. In mere moments, my vision had blurred and the pain had subsided. Though I could still feel the small teeth, the pain seemed to disappear. Must be the pain. I'm in shock, yes, that's it. I repeated that to myself as my consciousness slowly ebbed away.
As I opened my eyes, they were greeted by the very last person I wanted to see.
"Hello Corvo. Good to see you, as usual." The Outsider stated slowly. Glancing around, I realized that I was no longer in my cell. It looked somewhat like the void, except less chaotic.
"What do you want?" I snapped angrily, but secretly relieved. The Outsider shrugged his hands out to the side in mock innocence. "I couldn't help but notice your grueling death, and thought that maybe you would like a break from it." A smirk played on his lips for a moment. "But if you'd prefer, I could send you back-"
"No!" I clapped a hand to my mouth, but not soon enough to stop the words from escaping. I shook my head for a moment, and then continued. "I mean, what do want me to do?"
The Outsider smiled at this change of tune. "Well, since you asked nicely…" He paused, almost as if reconsidering me, for a moment. "A friend of mine needs some help, in her world, that is."
I nodded, trying to understand the concept. "Okay. Who do I kill?" "No one." A feminine voice stated behind me. I turned on my heel to find the source of the voice, but all I saw was a tall white horse with a horn and wings.
Further examinations of the creature revealed that it bared a blue, green, and pink striped mane, as well as a picture of a sun on both of its flanks.
"Who said that?" The horse closed its eyes and opened its mouth slowly. "I did." I turned back to The Outsider, who wore a slightly amused expression. "This is the Princess, Celestia. She is the friend whom I spoke of."
{Please tell me what ya'll think. It's my first, so suggestions and creative criticism are welcome.}
