Colt Quest’s Ending: The Emerald Warrior.  
By Psker
 
Emerald sat in front of the campfire and stared into the flames. It had been 11 years now since he finally escaped from his vile step-parents and begun his quest. 11 years of running, of fighting, and of planning.
 
He thought back to when he first met Joyride. She was a very strange, perverted immortal mare. But she took care of him and taught him so much. Using his’s knowledge goat magic he ’pushed’ a stack of sticks into the fire without moving a single muscle. He briefly wondered how she was doing these days. It had been 7 years since he last saw her after all.
 
“I have to go and learn from others.” He remembered telling her, shortly after banishing that demon in the abandoned fort they found. She gave her traditional grin and wished him luck and told him of who to speak with to learn how to fight. He still wondered how much of that grin was simply a mask to what she felt underneath. At least he hope she understood what he had to do, what he must do to finally have peace.
 
He recalled from others of whom he learned from since leaving Joyride. Renbow the pegasus archer, Tristar the earth pony mercenary, Olamilekan the zebra Alchemist, are some that stood out. They taught him a lot as well. They taught him how to survive in the wilds, how to cook and plan, and how to kill. That last one was the hardest to learn, but one that was necessary. He wouldn’t admit it to anyone, but the faces of those few he has killed still haunted him.
 
For several years he wandered, traveling from town to town doing various jobs and favors that applied to his skills. Sometimes traveling with those he befriended, other times alone. But In that time he plotted and planned.
 
Last year after his many travels he finally felt he was ready to confront his step-parents.
 
When he visited Witherwater, and reunited with Hope, she was worried about what he planned on doing and urged him to think it over. She pointed out that there hardly have been any posters of Emerald or any wandering mercs looking for him in the past few years and that they are probably no longer looking for him. He told her that’s even better as they wouldn’t be expecting him to return ’home’.
 
He smiled to himself as he remembered how the rest of the evening went with her. Soon he wouldn’t have to wander any more and he can then finally settle down. To do what, he hadn’t decided yet. But as he stared into Hope’s eye when they were in bed he could tell that she was worried, perhaps worried that he would get hurt.
 
Rest assured he wasn’t facing his step-parents alone.
 
“Hey, I just finished checking out those walls. I should be able to sneak in easily enough.” Ruby said, having stealthily entered the campsite without him noticing. Emerald smiled and gave her a nod. It was easy busting the mare out of jail with some well applied corrosive potions. She was fairly surprised on who it was that freed her, after all it had been a long time since they last saw each other.
 
“Do you think you’ll be able to get the gate down?” He asked getting up from the campfire.
 
“Yeah, it’s no problem. I’ve broken into bigger places than this. Will your step-parents have that treasure?”
 
“Yes they will.” He said glancing towards the direction where his step-parents castle lay. Ruby may want the treasure, but deep down she’s really interested in learning the truth about her family. A truth that if Emerald suspected right was hidden within those walls.
 
“So are you ready?” She asked giving glance at her own weapons and tools. Emerald did the same. He will either avenge his stolen childhood or not, whatever happens tonight he won’t run away anymore.
 
Emerald pulled his sword out from it’s sheath.
 
“Yes. I am.”
