Invictus looked at the purple pony like the world had gone mad. He was curious: why was this pony so estranged to him?
"Peculiarly enough, I don't remember how I became an alicorn. I wasn't an alicorn in the Insurgency war, so I don't know how it happened."
He got up, ignoring the pain of his injuries, and began pacing the room nervously. Finally, he decided that he should make acquaintances with this new pony. Several times, he had almost collapsed from weakness, but he kept going, partly due to his military training, partly due to sheer willpower. He eventually sat back on his hospital bed and said,
"My name is Invictus Revel, former General of the Royal Army. And your name is?"
