Twilight dreamt the sun, a bright shining sun, unlike one she had ever seen. The light went across a long field of grass with deer running rampant across the plains. Twilight watched the majestic deer when she saw Celestia at the end of the field, holding a small, white flower. A smell of blood entered her nose as she saw Celestia murder one of the beautiful deer. Then she looked at herself in a pond, and saw that she was a deer. Celestia charged at Twilight Sparkle, and Twilight ran for her life.
"Ah!" Twilight yelled as she woke up. The stallion was standing next to her, looking carefully through the bushes. She grabbed for her javelin, but he was holding it. "What-
"Shh," the stallion interrupted, "Trixie."
He didn't need to say anything more. They stayed absolutely still as Twilight heard footsteps nearby. The footsteps soon faded. "Who are you?" Twilight asked the stallion, "Why haven't you killed me?"
The stallion took a moment to look through the bushes, then came down to whisper to Twilight, "I thought we'd make a pretty good team." He handed her the javelin, "You're probably better at this than I am."
"I doubt that," Twilight answered.
"My name's Flaming Eagle," the stallion said, "But my allies can just call me Eagle."
"Oh," Twilight blushed, "Ya. Flaming Eagle." She was love struck. The stallion was so charming.
"That means you hon," Flaming Eagle said.
"Oh ya, I guess we're allies," Twilight got up and packed her things, "Where did Trixie go?"
"Down," Flaming Eagle answered.
"Then we should go up," Twilight answered. She started climbing up the mountain, and Flaming Eagle trailed behind her, looking back every now and then. The sun was starting to set above the mountains. I slept for a long time, Twilight thought. She climbed up the mountain diligently, and at one point, she even lost Flaming Eagle, but they got back together. Twilight Sparkle got tired about an hour of climbing later, so they decided to take a break.
"I hope you like berries," Flaming Eagle answered as he picked some berries from a bush, "Because that's all that we have."
"Um…" Twilight looked at the berries strangely, "Are those poisonous?"
"No," Flaming Eagle took a bite of a berry, its blue juice crunching in his mouth, "No, it's fine. I was the one who added these berries to the game."
"What?" Twilight asked, "Hey. You weren't one of the original tributes." She smacked herself in the head, "Of course! You were one of the late entries, the gamemaker!"
"Ya," Flaming Eagle answered, he took another berry and ate it, "I thought you knew."
"I was really tired," Twilight answered, "This has been a rough game for me."
"I noticed," Flaming Eagle said mercifully, "You had a tough time with Pinkie Pie, who turned out to be Dainty Almond. Then you nearly get killed by her. You had some trouble with the Manticore, and I'm sure there were some other troubles, but I joined a little later, so I was out of touch with the info."
Twilight leaned her head against Eagle's shoulder, "This is nice. I feel a little safer now."
Flaming Eagle looked down with a smile on his face, but looked up frowning, "Trixie's coming." They started running up the mountain as fast as they could. Flaming Eagle stepped on some loose ground and fell a couple feet.
"Eagle!" Twilight yelled, "No!"
"I'm fine!" Flaming Eagle shouted, "And thanks for calling me Eagle."
"Ya," Twilight kept going, "He'll catch up," she said to herself. She continued walking when she heard rustling in the bushes nearby. "Trixie!" She shouted as she stabbed her javelin into the bushes. She pulled out what was inside and saw that it was the little pegasus filly. "Scoodaloo." That was eight ponies left in the games.
Twilight walked around a corner to find Trixie standing there. "I've been waiting," she said menacingly.
"How did you get up here?" Twilight asked with fear shrouding her eyes.
"Teleportation. Duh," Trixie answered sarcastically, "I'm magical, remember?"
Twilight ran toward the cliff edge and looked down at Flaming Eagle, who was still climbing the mountainside, "Go down!" She felt something pierce her side, and a burning sensation followed. She looked and saw a large hole growing in her side, engulfing her tail and her back legs. She winced in pain and shouted down again, "Save yourself!" With that, she dissipated into thin air.
Such a horrible way to die. Remember to review! Can't wait to post another chapter!
