Colours of Life
Chapter 4 - The Newcomer
Previous ChapterNext Chapter“Whooooo!” Eire sounds coming from all nooks and crannies yet nothing seems to be there. *Scatter* *Scatter* “Huh? Umm… is someone there?” I looked around seeing if there was a shadow or something that resembled a pony. “Hello... hello… hello?” I couldn’t see anything, willows were scattered everywhere through these woods and there is no chance of seeing anything past them. For all I know they could be just in front of me and I wouldn’t know it. I decided to toughen it out and move ahead, reaching for the one who they call Golden Spirit.
I trotted along a windy path hoping for it to lead me somewhere, as I came further and further down the path the trail seemed to get smaller and smaller. “I am going in the right direction?” I whispered to myself. A voiced trailed along the winds, it seemed to becoming somewhere further along this path. “Coomme… Coommmeee… here you will find what you seek…” Were these just voices in my head or was someone really talking to me. It gave me shivers at the thought but somehow this voice was very persuasive and I just had to go to it. “Coommeee… come loyal, I will give you your colours back… hurry!” No it couldn’t be Trixie, why would she be here in this Celestia forsaken place. Although if it was her I could try and destroy her and take back what is rightfully mine. I cantered towards the voice chasing and chasing until he path had ended. I entered a clearing with a border of trees surrounding me. I could see a mountain in the horizon and there seemed to be a huge storm attacking it. The mountain caps gleemed with light while the sun just penetrating through the storm. “Wouldn’t it be a wonderful sight to just stand up there and admire the sight? Oh the Wonders…” I couldn’t think about this for the situation I was in now. I walked around for a while trying to see why the path would end here. Maybe it could have been a ritual sight for all the necromancers to respect the gods of Equestria or maybe it was a place where battles were wagered and soul demons killing everything in sight. It could be anything, but of course there was no time to imagine things like this right now I could scare myself.
*Snap* “Who’s there!” “Ahh.. no one. No one is here that’s who.” said a squeaky voice coming from the bushes. “I wouldn’t be having this conversation if you weren’t here.” “Exactly! I’m not here your imagining things!” said the squeaky voice again. I suppose I could be imagining it, I have been hearing a lot of things in this forest lately so it wouldn’t surprise if I was hearing things. “So if you really aren’t here, why are you talking to me then?” “Ahh… your… umm… ahh crap!” “Ok, so who are you really?” “I can’t say, now please leave, your on my turf.” “Oh, sorry. I will be heading off then.” “It would be most wise.” “Soo… bye…” “Bye.” I started to walk down the path like I was going to leave. I travelled 10 or so metres down the path until. I zapped the bushes and lifted out the voice who was talking to me. “Ahh! Don’t hurt me please! I have a family!” “Oh silly I won’t hurt you. Unless You Don’t Tell Me Who You Are For The 10th Time!” The little animal of some sort was scouring in his boots and was well speechless for quite some time. “Well Come on I Haven’t Got all Day!” “I… I am Al-mi’raj, protector of all life and plants.” “You! The protector of all life and plants! Buhahaha…! Don’t make me laugh!” “But it’s true! Many creatures fear me throughout this forest! I am a very scary creature you know.” “You scary! Hah I bet you couldn’t even scare a fly.” “I bet I can scare you.” “Try me…” “Ok… But I’m warning you, I will haunt you in your nightmares for the rest of eternity.” “That’s if you even scare me.” “Ok here we go…” He took his stance, readied himself to scare me with what he had. The little bunny with that measly little horn couldn’t do anything that scary to someone of the like of me. His horn started to sparkle, releasing the energy within him, charging and charging with more power. Black zaps of light emitted from it zooming everywhere around me. Things started to change around me, plants started to wither and trees started to rot, everything around me started to die. The sky started to vanish under a thick layer of clouds allowing only the slightest light through. How could something this small do so much devastation, a cute little bunny destroying life with a flash of his horn? “Scared yet?” “N…n…nn…ooo. Wh..y ww..ould I be sc…cc…ared.” “Hmph, sure you’re not, so since you are not scared yet how about I ramp it up a notch.” “S…ure, give me all you got.” His horn raged with more power, more than I had ever seen in all my time around Equestria. The power it was pulsing and flashing as it grew and grew. *Zap* The energy flushed out of him, the energy was forced towards me penetrating my body. My mind was blank, I had neither emotions nor feelings, and my body was motionless. My eyes were black as the night sky, no soul to read, no life left. I collapsed falling to the ground with a *Thud*. I was a dummy and my body was rendered useless. I laid there only and the thing going through my mind were nightmares.
