the first prince MLP Friendship Is Magic

verko's investment

I look in the mirror at my wings and horn a silvery blond mane. I had dark brown hair with black splotches on the mark that appeared one day. It was like a black hole and a scythe. It was almost halfway up the mirror was it just me or was getting taller how old was I 24? 25? Didn't my species stop growing at this point?

"EREBUS!" That rat was calling to me. He raised me but I felt no connection with him or anyone for that matter. "it's time for your services again." I stood over him looking down "I've almost crawled back up to being the crime boss of Klugetown after 90 years since that cat took me down." This cave was where we lived my entire life. he was always spouting about how he used to have a big corrupt mansion as a house. With mountains of that yellow metal.

Verko straightened his tie then took out his pocket watch he was looking old again the air of death permeated around him. "If it weren't for this watch I stumbled upon in the desert I'd never have done it." He clicked it and he returned to still look old but younger possibly late 20s? course it wasn't much of a change guy always looked old.

The air of death dissolved.tick tick tick "Who do you want me to kill" I say it was only when he wanted to end another's life that the ever spoke to me. I only ever brought death to those around me even the ones I would have called parents died when I was born.

Verko was the only one who lived weasely mole rat that he was. everyone else around me would grow older my "magic" as verko called it was what caused it. I didn't know how to control it it just happened around me. It was normal. "One moment" He looked from one inside pocket to the other. Tick tick tick. His goggles shined When he finally found what he was looking for he raised the paper up in the air with delight at finding it. Some yellow metal fell out as well."There it is!"

He wiped a bit of sand off of it. Tick tick tick. "This is the last piece before I get what I want then you can come with me as my best bodyguard in my new crime empire!"he bumped my shoulder. Tick tick tick. "I new raising you was a good investment!" His goggles shinned and he smiled with his yellow cracked teeth.

He showed a picture of a purple haired pastel pony. They were tall like me and they also had horns and wings and she looked older. Guess there where ponies of my species that did grow like me. A dragon stood next to her this was a newspaper article of the land of Equestria. At the bottom it said princess twilight sparkle welcomes zap apples in ponyville.

"I see. It shall be done" I say this was a simple duty This twilight sparkle would change nothing.

"You dang right! Now to get to ponyville go east I think, till you start seeing pastel ponies singing about friendship and whatnot." He started inspecting the yellow metal Using a magnifying glass. his back to me. tick tick tick." If you start seeing white Stuff everywhere falling from the sky you've gone to far... but with that trail you leave that princess or whatever will probably find you instead, oh and if you see any treasures bring them to me the uh gold metal coins." He held out his hand with the coin shaking it slightly. Tick tick tick.

He winded his watch again. Queuing my time to leave. It was annoying to hear that ticking sound for to long. It gave me a headache.

As I turned behind me verko's incessant voice cracked through the air "if you betray me like that cat did I'll make sure you'll regret it."

"Regrets are for the dying " I stated as I walked away. I've Heard the regrets of thousands in there last moments, there last thoughts. It would always be the same five.

I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, I wish I hadn't worked so hard, I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings, I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends, And finally I wish that I had let myself be happier.

I once toiled over there words trying to find meaning in them, But I could never understand them. Perhaps I lacked the capacity to understand them like a hole in my chest that I couldn't see. or they where simply meaningless ramblings of the dying.

I began walking out of the cave on my way out I saw a beautiful blue flower at the base of the cave. As I continue walking past it wilted and died then turned to dust. Such as everything that was near me to long. I started heading to Equestria. Any greenery or lizards near the desert like landscape I walked on Disintegrating.
