"Say something like that again and I'll execute you myself right now." the guard growls through clenched teeth. His loud mouthing is just going to get himself killed quicker. "Hey get Celestia out here will ya? Its been a while since I've been sentenced personally by royalty." Gale really needs to watch his mouth. Don't forget my resistance of arrest." He pauses for a second, then looks at me, winks and turns back to the guard with a sinister grin. My eyes stay fixed on Gale just waiting for him to give any statement in his defense. I should look like I've just seen a ghost. But I wish I could see my face right now. Have you any words in your defense?" the guard's facial expression didn't change as he read from Gale's list of offenses. These offenses match no consequence but public execution, and banishment to the moon. "You have been charged with seventy eight accounts of ponyslaughter, one hundred thirty three accounts of attempted ponyslaughter, ninety three accounts of burglary, and the worst, stealing the Elements of Harmony. A stallion as old as him should've earned his cutie mark ages ago. Like an old barnyard whose paint job has faded, and he has no real prominent features about him except his flank. But it is long enough so that his bangs hide the direction he's looking by covering the majority of his eyes. I only now start to physically analyze him. "That'd be me sir." he replied in his smooth talking, sarcastic tone. My acquaintance from our trip here steps forward. I don't pay much attention until they call the name. I finally turn my attention back to the guards as they begin calling the names of the outlaw ponies. Funny how this is my first time here, and its to be sentenced to some punishment for some crime I must've committed. Oh yes there's a waterfall next to the castle. The sound of rushing water can be heard somewhere off in the distance. The walls are white and the roofs are golden. I've read countless tomes on the structure and seen hundreds of images of this scene but never experienced it for myself. This isn't the first time I've been here. A guard wearing a captain's helmet steps forth with another guard accompanying him with the list of inmates. The stallion who spoke to me gets out as well before I decide to follow. All of the ponies in the carriage get out. Get out." one of the guards order in the commanding monotone voice that they all seem to have. The celestial guard's armor looks as bright and gleaming as I've ever seen it, especially from this dark pit I've been thrown into. "Well, we'll see soon friend.Its judgement time." he raises his forelegs in binds to a crack of light on the wall which quickly expand from the door being pulled open. The clopping from outside stops, and I'm suddenly being jerked to my left as it seems our trip has come to an end. I couldn't have done anything saintly, since my body is so achy and i'm in these binds. I haven't the slightest bit of memory from before I woke up here. "Sentenced to what, exactly?" I question. His face brightens up at having somepony to talk to. "We're going to be sentenced." he says casually. I cringe at the soreness of my lower abdomen and shoulders. The clopping of hooves outside tells me so. The conditions of the place are too dirty to be a form of transportation of that quality. There're only holes or dots in the wall with light streaming in, barely making it bright enough to see that there are multiple ponies in this crate. The vicinity smells like rotting wood or a dusty corner of a room. My senses are returning to me one by one. The frown on his face tells me that I'm not in a place I'd like to be in. My vision finally reboots itself as he comes into view. "Where are we?" I respond, giving up on inference to use as a guide. Looking around, I'm finding no answers because its too dim in here, wherever here may be. I don't bother responding because I'm trying to take in my surroundings, and to get a general understanding of where I am. As my ears are finally coming around I hear the colt in front of me speak I try to move my hooves so that i could push myself to sit up straight but it seems that i'm wearing hoofcuffs or some form of restraint because I can't seem to do that either. But my vision is failing me, and I can barely make out a voice from the figure.
