Me and Fleur

The whole world was bathed in fire and The Mad God was sitting in his throne of thorns. Slowly crawling away from him and into a hole to hide. Passing out, I woke up in a long marble hall with pillars going into the ceiling which is out of view. Slowly walking down the hallway, I found myself inside The Court of the Elder God’s, were all the oldest gods give their verdicts on us younger gods. The Great Hyena, the god of laughter stood up and pointed at me.

“Author your punishment for failing you task is..........” He said as the whole world started to shake. I slowly came out of my memory and back into the real world. Looking up I saw Fleur shaking me with tears in her eyes.

“Please don't leave me alone out here I was scared.” Fleur cried with tears leaking down her face and onto my shirt mixing with the stains of cold sweat. She stopped shaking me and stood back up. I sat up and rubbed my head.

“I am sorry that wasn't supposed to happen.” I said with a grown. Slowly standing up as to not aggravate  my head any more. I looked up only to see that it was time to find some shelter for the night. Quickly scanning the trees for a large branch to sleep on.

“Why exactly did you choose The Everfree Forest to as the place to teleport us to?” Fleur asked as she looked around the path we were on.Not answering at first as I was still looking for a good branch to sleep on. After a few seconds I found a branch that would work nicely. Looking down at Fleur with a serious face I started to speak with an even tone.

“I chose this place as the Canterlot guards would have a hard time finding us, on top of that I know that this place is very dangerous and most mortals wouldn't come in here, if not forced to.” I said, while picking her up,  jumping the thirty feet to the tree branch; I looked at Fleur who had a shocked expression clearly on her face.

“H-h-how did you do that?” She asked after I put her down, she walked over to the side of the branch and looked down. When she saw how far up we were she crawled backwards. She started breathing very shallowly and sweating heavily.

“What’s got your panties in a wad miss princess?” I asked with a snarky tone. looking her over with a slightly raised eyebrow I noticed that she was shaking like a leaf. She glared at me for several seconds till she shakes her head and looks at me with confusion.

“What are panties?” She asked clueless as to what the article of human clothes was. I just shook my head and asked in a dumbed down version of the question.

“What has you spooked?” I asked in an even tone. Sitting down, I pulled my bag from my side and pulled out a package of fruit and nuts. Pouring a small amount into my hands, I tossed the bag to Fleur who caught it in her magic field.

“I-I-If you must know, If you must know me and heights don’t get along.” She said sarcastically as she sniffed the bag and took a tentative bite of the food that I had given her. Causing me to chuckle lightly. She looked at me with a glare that would have shattered black ice.

“What is this drivel that you are trying to feed me?” She asked in a cold whisper making my face slowly break out in a grin.

“If you must know it is nuts and dried fruit.” I said putting heavy ephesus on “you.” I pulled out a walnut and popped it into my mouth crouching away with a small smile as it is good to have food in one’s stomach. Looking at the moon and feeling of small amount of nostalgia slowly wash over me.

“Why are you looking at the moon like that?” She asked in a patronizing tone. Rolling up into my long coat I was trying to fall asleep.

“I asked you a question, why aren't you answering me?” She asked me with a tone that suggested that a rant was on the horizon. Slowly sitting up, I looked at Fleur over my shoulder.

“I am trying to sleep I suggest you do the same we have an early morning tomorrow. I said with a heaping dose of hostility. I then proceeded to curl back onto myself and go to sleep.

I woke up an hour before the sun had risen and stretched my back. Standing up, I looked over the forest and saw that it was getting late in the morning. I walked over to Fleur and slowly shook her awake. She groggily sat up and looked at the sky trying to see what time it was. Once she had blinked a few times she looked at me with disbelief.

“Its still dark out. Why in the name of Celestia did you wake me up--and for that matter why are you up?” She asked with a furious expression firmly plastered onto her face. She rose her head up and looked at me with a glare that would scare a mortal man.

“Get used to it princess, we will most likely be up at this time for a while.” I said trying not to laugh at her attempts of intimidating me. Grabbing my bag, I brought it closer to me to check its contents. Inside was my magic dagger, two more two pound bags of nuts and fruit, and my pride and joy, my collapsible staff. I put my bag over my shoulder and stood up my 7’’0 height nearly making my head reach the next branch. Fleur curled into a ball and tried to go back to sleep and I was going to have non of that noise. Sighing I walked over to her and picked her up to which I was rewarded with a loud yell of displeasure.

“I demand that you put me down this instant.” Fleur shrieked in a good mimic of a banshee. Jumping down to the forest floor, I put her down on her hooves. She turned to me and throw a extremely weak punch to my stomach. Starting to snicker and was trying to not laugh out loud which was a complete lose my part. In just a few seconds I was on the forest floor rolling around laughing my ass off. After a few wasted minutes of laughter I was back onto my feet and walking down the path. Hearing a growl from right besides me, on my left side I instinctively ducked under an assailant that was not really there. Turning my head left to look for the source of the growling only to realize the cause was Fleur’s stomach.

“Is somebody hungry?” I asked in my best baby voice. Turning to Fleur who had a look of pure embarrassed rage clearly on her face.  She opened her mouth but her stomach betrayed her in her time of need. It gave out a loud growl much like the first only sounding more desperate. Reaching into my bag, I pulled out the half empty bag from last night and held it out to her with a smile of victory on my face. She looked at me and then back at the bag before she took it out of my hand and slowly started to eat the food that I just gave her.

“I hate you with all my heart.” She clearly stated through her food as she followed in my footsteps. Continuing to walk forward, the first rays of morning sunlight shone through the canopy and right into my eyes.

“I hate mornings.” I said with a frown on my face. Pulling out my staff, I put it together and started to walk deeper into the forest.
