Orbed!; Final Hour

Final Hour gave an uncomfortable whimper when she felt the icy winds blow against her. Final hated the cold, and it made her teeth chatter as she shuddered, not immediately responding to Amber. After tightening her scarf around her neck, she tried, to no avail, to speak angrily and confidently at the dumb pony.

"I-I'm f-f-f-fine..." She lied with a heavy stammer from her aversion to cold. "I-I-I-I d-d-don't n-n-nuh-nuh-need y-your h-h-h-help..."

Gathering a large shard of broken orb, Amber hid his right wing under his black coat.

"Shh. Say nothing more, it's not good for your vocal chords. Here."

He then pulled back from under his coat and extended his wing to the filly. A piece of thick, black cloth was chocked between his golden Okami and the largest of his feathers.

"This will at least protect you from this bone-chilling wind. Take it and treat as yours, please."

Still shaking, Final Hour stared at Amber holding the cloak out to her. This wasn't right. Ponies never offered her anything. They kicked dirt in her face, they yelled, they threw things, they got priests to try and exorcise her, that group of bandits used their... things on her, but she was never offered anything.

Abruptly, she snatched the cloth away from him, quickly wrapping herself in it, still staring at Amber. "W-why?" She asked simply.

"The question is not Why, but... Why Not. I was once just like you. And maybe it's I want you to avoid my fate? Or maybe it's just me..."

Amber gathered the last piece of broken orb and threw it inside the remaining globe.

"I'll have to fly it to the dumpsite... stupid evilcorns inventions... but anyway. I don't see any reason to be harsh or mean to you. I... I really wonder, why the others are treating you like that? It's just unfair... do they fear dark ponies that much? Well, my black hide and mane of purple is not making ponies bow in awe either... but does dark means unwanted?"

Amber lifted the orb, grabbing it through the hole.

"Who said that being a demon should equal being hated? That kind of thinking is simply dumb."

Final Hour looked down at Amber's hooves for a moment, thinking. She didn't like this stallion, still, but she felt the need to explain. "Because I hurt them... That's why they h-hurt... hurt me. Dumb ponies don't listen. It was an accident..." She sniffled.

Hearing the first sniffs of the little filly, Amber Moon tilted his head to her.

"Hey, there are alot of ponies, and not only ponies, that constantly asks for trouble... if you want, you can tell me what happened. I'll be glad to listen to it."

"You'll feel better."

"W-well..." Final Hour spoke, although there was a voice in her head, screaming at her to not tell this pony. For some reason, she didn't listen. "L-long time ago... I was... nobody wanted me. I was too small, too weak... s-so they threw me out, and... and then I went to sleep. I slept for... long time. Nopony found me, nopony.... nopony cared."

Final took a shaky breath. "B-but then, these ponies found me, and they weren't like the others. They were nice, they called me their daughter, and I loved them, b-but..." She stopped again, and did not make a sound for several seconds. "B-but I-I... I..." Tears dripped from her eyes, her body shaking. She lowered her head, whispering. "I-I k-killed... th-them..."

Amber Moon sat suddenly. Can it be truth? Could this little filly... b-but how!? I'm a warrior! Battle-hardened fighter, and, following the words of Masters of All Masters Zen'tuo, I've never killed ANY creature... in my entire life...

She's just filly... and has she...

...maybe this is the reason why she calls herself a "Demon"?

Amber looked upon the shaking filly. Maybe if she cried, if she had someone, sompony, anyone to cry by, she'd feel better?

These thoughts woke up his Seal... the wave of pain assailed his right eye with a swift, golden lightning flashing for a mere second. But he was not minding it anymore. He opened his hoof for a friendly hug.

Care is what causes the pain in my eye, the seal planted to stop us from caring about ourselves on the battlefield... being the price I have to pay for being myself, the one I really want to be...

...not a high price for happiness of another creature...


"I haven't asked you... before... w-what's your name?" - he told with very calm and honest voice, still holding his hoof if the filly decides to finally trust him, at least enough to ease her suffering by embracing him.

"F-fu-fuh... F-final H-h-hour..." She said in between shaky, quiet sobs. She had not related this truth to anyone. Seraph knew how lovingly her adoptive mother had been, but that was it. This was the most Final Hour had opened up to anyone in a long, long time. And it didn't stop there. She immediately clutched at Amber, hugging him tightly, her small body shivering with emotion.

"I-It... It doesn't st-stop there. Ponies found out. P-ponies yelled and laughed, ponies threw me out of ponyville, b-because I was a monster. Hid in hole. Lived in hole... f-for long time. S-some stallions found me, tied me up..." Every breath the imp now took was laden with sobs.

"T-tied me up... a-and they... and they..." Choking up, Final Hour went silent, still clinging to this pony that didn't smell like a pony. "Th-they... did things... to me..."

I can almost touch the sorrow and suffering in her words... oh, daira de'cestei... she's so bloody young, yet... so much negative emotions... even my stone-cold heart can feel them!

"Shhh. Hush now, Final Hour..." - he whispered, hugging the imp tightly. - "Say nothing more... I, I... I... u-understand..."

What in this world could be cruel enough to make a little filly hold so much anger and sadness at once!? I cannot stand such cruelty... I can hear my warrior's voice calling for vengeance, her words are true... cruelty is never fair! What hell has she been forced to cross there!? It would be better for both of us to not ask her...

He has heared the orb moving in the wind and stopped it with hind leg, while still hugging the filly. He felt her tears on his coat.

"They are gone, Final Hour... forever... they are no more... and you know what to do if they turn to be dumb enough to dare to return?"

Amber closed his eyes, as a faint smile painted on his mouth. He was not expecting to say such words any soon:

"...then tell them that your friend Amber Moon will chase them to death. Forever. Untill they fall exhausted before Your hooves."

Still crying, Final Hour still hugged Amber. Right now, she didn't care he was a pony. She needed a shoulder to cry on for years now. The little imp was bound to shape up if she had someone to cry next to. "Th-thank you..." She muttered quietly in amidst her blubbering.

"It's not You, who shall thank Me... it's rather Me, who shall thank You, for freeing me from this... ugh. Device. I'm just doing what's right..."

A-am I, really?

He decided to risk and wiped out the tears from the filly's face. After a minute, he broke the silence.

"Feelin' any better?"

The imp didn't even flinch when Amber wiped her tears. In face, she rubbed her face against his hoof, almost nuzzling it. "Mm-*sniff*... mmhmm..." Final Hour nodded in response. Her face waa still a little puffy from her crying, but said crying was beginning to calm. Still, though Final at least mostly trusted this... "pony", she heard the voice hissing at her in the back of her head.

Get AWAY! You can't TRUST him! He has that... tthhhh-TTHHHING between his legs. He'll hurt you, with or without it! STOP CRYING AND SHAPE UP.

All this only caused Final to whimper and shudder.

Amber felt the little filly slowly halting her cry. She needed it. Such a simple thing, such a great relief... maybe I still... can do something good in this town? Maybe I'm not completly lost...

"Not everything is such as we dream about it to be. There are some bad ponies in this world, that's true. But I'm not one of them. I'm one of those who gives them baddies' hell. And belive me, I'm not unique. There are more goodies among ponies than you think..." - he hugged her a bit tighter, feeling the thrill passing through her body.

"Is everything alright, Final? - he asked with care in his voice, paying the price of a little sting of pain in his eye for this.

Final Hour sniffled, rubbing her eyes and nose. "I'm... I'm fine... I'm okay now..." She murmered, silencing the voice in her head, shuddering a few moments, before standing up and pulling away from Amber, and she gave him a small smile. This was big for her. She hadn't smiled since she had reunited with Midnight. Though it was tiny, and half-hearted, it was there. "Th-thank you..." She muttered. "I needed to... to cry without anypony being mean..." She turned to leave, only saying "Bye... thank you..." to him before she began walking away.
