>walking through the fog gateway obscuring the path ahead you feel rain on your heavy armor >Before you stands a- No! jumps a knight twice your size. you roll to the right just barely not getting your head caved in >getting a moment to stand and get a good look at this guy you see his armor is pure silver. a strange almost childlike faceplate and a ring of throns moulded into the metal >He carries a sword you really fucking want, are you going to use it? fuck no but you're gonna take that. and a large shield.. a mirror >The Mirror knight lunges thrusting the large greatsword at you. once again you move out of its way. this time to his left. no shield on this side >You manage to get in a swing with your own Greatsword, an ancient relic of an era long forgotten... still by comparison to this walking mountain its not hurting like if he hit you. >The huge knight raises his sword into the air. lighting the color of a clear blue day engulfs his blade and he slams it into the ground >What a slow bast- >WHACK >he wasn't done, he spun around and you got hit. Pain, but nothing new. you've died a million times.. well not really but that's what that old hag told you would happen >get up anon. you bring yourself to your feet only to see once again that big fucker swinging that stupid sword at you.. the stupid sword you want but still. you once again roll out of the way across the rain drenched platform >You swing your sword hard from left to right and a wave of beautiful moonlight eminates from the blade. apon hitting the knight its clear it does some form of damage. it may not be as much but you're way back here and he's way over there >was over there. he's jumping again. but you fucked up >WHACK >Now that one fucking hurt. barely alive you attempt to stand. in the corner of your eye you see the Mirror Knight swing his mirror at yo- >sky, you see.. sky >it's blue, with little white puffy clouds >you're laying on your back. in considerable pain but you'll be fine. you always are "uhhhg.." >Most of the time >standing up you look around and see more colors then you've ever seen. trees as green as green could be, same with the grass >flowers of colors you don't even know the names of all around "What a place" >You ajust your armor and helmet, picking up your sword of Moonlight you pick a direction and set off >Feels weird here.. what is that feeling? >it was here you realized not what you do feel but what you don't feel >that everpresent blackness in the back of your mind. the nothingness and loss taking away all you may have loved or cared forgotten >gone >the curse that sent you to that terrible land is gone. then it comes back to you >that land. the mirror knight. the castle. all the terrible places. where the fuck are you? >does it matter? the curse is gone, yet what is lost is still lost. who you are, where you were born, who or what you loved.. all gone >but you're free.. "hahaha! ahhh.." you take in a deep breathe. the air smells fresher then you've ever smelled. it almost makes you forgot that terrifyng rotten amalgimation of bodies.. imagine the smell.. >almost makes you forget. not quite >you wander the forest, pushing past branches and find a clearing >a giant lion.. no, scorpian.. dragon?. fuck its all of them combined.. it turns to you and roars, it begins to charge "Always some fucker" >You don't have the curse anon, if you die, you're gone forever now >the realization that you'll die forever sits in and you jump to the side in fear "oh fuck why now.. come on!" > it turns to you growling and knashing it's teeth. readying for another charge. >this time you step to the side and swing as hard as you can with your mighty sword of moonlight! >SLICE >with a clean slice you chop into its back. it drops to the ground nearly instantaniously "well that was easy.." >"SWEET CELESTIA!" >turning to the high pitched sound you see a yellow horse floating in the air.. not floating, it has wings >and it just screamed at you >you're speechless >the yellow horse flutters away rapidly off somewhere. probably to tell someone you're here "Damn it, why can't I ever just find an nice place" >Whatever you think to yourself, and continue on through this forest in the opposite direction of where that flying horse went >while walking you whip your swordblade on nearby flora to clean off some of that beasts blood. man I bet people inject that shit into their veins or something here. >after some time you find a cliffside and a giant drop down into a chasm below "Fantastic" >you hear something strange from behind you >you see 9-10 more flying horses, these in armor. and each one carrying another horse? some of them have horns on their heads >"STOP IN THE NAME OF CELESTIA!" >the winged horses set down their non-winged counterparts and they all draw spears on you. you're completely surrounded >you raise your beautiful sword >"Put that glowy thing down in the name of Celestia!" >who the fuck is celestia, is she in the room with us right now? "No, fuck you tiny horses" >They all start to tear up.. what? >you hear sniffles and one bursts out crying and then the other 19 or so all burst out crying >what do you even do? why are they crying? >you walk forward since none of them are holding their spears to you anymore >you want one, yeah take it. you're about to take one of their spears and on closer inspection you make the most absurd discovery you've ever made >the spear-tip is fluffy like a pillow.. what?? >Thud >A big winged AND horned horse drops to the ground infront of you >"Don't you DARE hurt my little ponies!" "your little ponies? these your kids?.." >The white horses face goes red >"W-what? no.. they're my royal guard" "your royal guard has these?" >you pick up the fluffy pillow spear-tip "how do you kill anything with this?" >She gasps >"Kill?!?! I would never, they would never! surrender you talking metal thing for your crimes against Equestria!" "or what? you can't kill me and I could easily kill you" >You raised your moonlight sword as an indicator of how you'd do it >in an instant it is ripped from your hand by glowing yellow light. the white horses horn is covered in similar light "Oh" >The white horse looks almost teary eye'd.. did you make her cry too? >"Surrender!" >you sigh deeply "Fine" >What's the worst that could happen >shortly after the white horse got all her royal guard to stop crying and take me in. they didnt have a way to so we had to wait for a cart >from listening to the 'ponies' so they are called you found out the big one is Princess Celestia, leader of this land. and whatever you did was a huge crime or something. you must have killed someones pet >soon the cart arrives. and it's just a cart. no cage or bars or anything. just a regular old cart >"g-get in metal monkey!" >You listen to the tiny pony and get in the cart "hey uh can you grab my sword? it's like an ancient mystical artifact where I come from" >"Huh? the blue thing?" "well its more green.." >"nuh uh! looks blue to me" >"GLEAMING HELMET PICK THAT UP AND PUT IT WITH THE METAL MONKEY!" she suddenly screamed, startling you a bit >'Gleaming Helmet' that stallion over there tries to pick up your sword with.. his mouth? >>"OWWIE!!" he screams >What are they? stupid? >>"OWIE OWIE!!" >"MEDIC!! MEDIC!!!!!!!!!!" your eardrums practically explode at the sheer volume of these little fellas >The Princess magics up your sword away from the injured guard >"oh my! this needs to be secured and locked away!" >she flies- nope teleports away to who knows where. "Damn I really liked that sword.." >Helmet over there is bawling his eyes out >>"i-it was really sharp! and I-I almost cut my tongue" >almost >"You're going away for a long time buddy" said the guardsmare nearby >soon the ponies start moving the cart, you're not tied up or anything. You feel kind of bad they're so stupid >You feel tired, when is the last time you slept?.. you can't even remember. you lay down and close your eyes >"it's sleeping, do we wake it?.. would that be rude" >>"It's a criminal what does it matter? Celestia said it was dangerous and we have to keep a close eye on it" >you begin to wake "huhhhg?..." >"I-i's making sound" >>"You woke it up, duh" >you quickly sit up and look around, you're not quite awake yet still "huh?" >"hey you! metal monkey thing, get off the cart" "oh uh.." >it begins to come back to you what happened >you stand up and proceed to fall over flat on the ground. not sleeping in who knows how long means you haven't woken up in who knows how long either >you really forgot how to wake up? idiot >the two ponies gasps >"MEDIIIC" >That screaming got you fully awake, you stand but you're a bit wobbly >"MEEDI-- how are you standing! aren't you hurt? sit down metal monkey" "what? no I'm fine, I just tripped.. and I'm not a metal monkey" >"You have to be hurt. anypony would be hurt from that fall" "aren't you taking me to be prison or something? can we just get on with it I don't got all day" >contrary to your statement, you do have all day >"ok.. well we're here. the warden will be out soon. but if you're not a metal monkey what are you" "I'm an unde-.. I'm human" >"A human?.. is that a type of monk-" "I'm not a damn monkey! I don't even know what a monkey is" >"LANGUAGE!" yet again your ears burn >"if you don't know what a monkey is, maybe you are one? have you thought about that?" "If I was a monkey, then I think I would have seen monkeys before" >Good work, idiot. that's the dumbest thing you've said yet >"Hm.. I guess" >A pony, female you'd guess walks out of that large pink building >>"Hey! Booming Call, is this that 'metal monkey'? Celestia said to watch out for?" >"yes ms warden! but he's actually something called a hue-man" >Booming call? that's her name? is she loud because her name is booming call.. or is her name booming call because her name is booming call.. "So where are you gonna lock me up?" >>"Straight to the point huh? tough colt you are, You don't have to pretend with me.. so what did this so called dangerous individual do?" >"all kinds of mean things! but I'm a tough mare and I'm not scared of him. Tell her, Gleaming" >>>"Oh ms.. this hueman thing.. he he.. he hurt a poor manticore then he screamed a bad word at us. THEN I tried to pick up his magical blue thing for him. wouldn't want it getting lost.. and I almost cut myself! it was SHARP!" >The warden gasped >>"he had a sharp object?" >>>"yeah he used it to hurt that manticore" "I think I did a little more then hurt it" >"W-what? what do you mean?.. fluttershy said you hurt it" "Oh no, its long dead" >They all froze and stared at you with wide eyes "What? it was trying to eat me" >all 3 of them collapse to the ground >Another guard pony comes out of the building >he gasps >"what did you do! GUARDS SECURE THE METAL MONKEY!" >2 more ponies come out the building and sort of point fluffy spears at you guiding you into the building >"This is your cell, Pal. we have to lock you in until the warden awakes from whatever evil magic you did" >you enter the room and they lock the door behind you >its a spacious room, a clean bed with some folded black clothes on it. probably for you. >it has it's own bathroom and some sort of weird metal device in a tiled section of it. theres a drain on the floor. maybe it pours out water? >their level of technology seems way more advanced then anything you've seen >Sadly this place doesn't seem to have orange soapstone magic.. I'm sure someone would have explained how to use this thing >Or maybe they wouldn't know either >You grab a cylindrical part of this device. its labeled with red and blue lines on each side.. maybe this means something >you turn it and suddenly water starts spouting everywhere "fuck who made this thing?" Soon enough Anon figured out how the Shower worked, undressing and 'cleaning' himself off to the best of his ability (poor) >Be Warden Mare (that is your name) >You're laying on the soft grass.. for some reason >Oh yeah, the metal monkey said something terrible.. the most terrible thing you've ever heard in your entire life >but you're a strong mare, get up! "uhhg.." >you try to stand but fall over only to be caught >"Warden Mare! why don't you relax a second? get your bearings, lets see what the damage is" >Its Doc Blueberry, he caught you. what a nice stallion "I'm not feeling so great.. that met- no uh.. hueman, you have to secure him! he's.. he's a monster" >"Don't worry Warden, he's secured in his room" "You gotta lock the door" >"lock it? that's sounds a bit exsessive.." "He hurt that manticore" >"Well it is a manticore, they tend to do that to other ponies or uh creatures. they're very territorial in nature" "It was a manticore, It's gone now h-he.." >"Gone? well I'd hope it lef-.. or do you mean.." "I do" >He sort of froze up and stared into space >"You know right after I left medical school I went out to southern equestria right?" "mm yeah sounds familier" >The doc lifts you up and you start to walk into the prison >"Well out there those ponies are made different. the Saddle Arabians. they're large and very muscular and out there are all kinds of monsters unlike here" "Can't be as bad as the everfree, right?" >"It's gotta be pretty close.. I saw one of them.. End, some sort of giant lizard. not quite a dragon but something like that" "P-ponies do that?" >"Only far out there, where Celestia doesn't quite reach" >you take a deep breath "You think this Hueman is from a place like that? with big monsters?" >"Well, he didn't roll over or cry did he?" "Nope" >"Then I'd guess that, It can be hard to understand these things sometimes, let's go to the cafeteria and get somethign to eat" "Yeah that's a good idea" >Be anon, be tired again >Man being human again, like really human is quite tiring >Doesn't help you feel all clean and soft in this black outfit >you yawn and lay down on the bed "ahhhhhhhh..." >Softest bed you've ever laid on >it took no time at all for you to fall asleep
