Stallion in a Grave

After standing still for Ms. Chain and her large brown box for a bit, I had kicked Necro in the grave giving him a taste of his own medicine. After he had climbed out of the grave he told me to follow him once he got a good look at me and the dirt that was clinging to my coat. I was being led down a long dark green tunnel made up of vines letting somewhat of sun light though as most of the flowers were a bright moon white as my hooves click against the smooth surface of the flat rocks that line the pathway. Necro was in front as my mane was sticking to my coat as he dug me up from the grave forgetting that he set the timer for a set of magic blue crystals they held a certain amount of water for the plants. He pulled me up out of the hole covering his face with his hoof trying to hold back the laughter.

We made our way through the vines to a small section of the Foal Mountains were a small warm water fall fell from the rocks into a small pool and down into a small stream heading towards the town and back away into the forest. I took one step into the grove looking at all the different color flowers that grew along with rocks with vines covering them giving this place a scene from a fantasy novel or book. Necro was at one of the walls picking a few flowers from the vines as I stepped into the water causing me to shiver from the rapid temperature change. I just dunked my whole body into the lake as I could feel the dirt just disappear from my coat and mane. I popped my head out from under the water giving Necro a small scare as he was staring at me with such a frantic look upon his face. All I could do was laugh at him as I moved my face not far from his as I could notice the heat rising in his face as my ears turned bright red.

“I think I should get out.” I dragged myself from the pond as my mane had become lifeless as it was dripping with water. I turned to look at him as my eyes caught the few strands of stray sun light made them sparkle in his eyes but made me squint at the intense glare. I shook the water from my mane and coat using my magic to straighten them all out. I glanced over to him as he was trying hard to look away from me as I grinned at an Idea that had popped into my head.

“You know you have shown me what you can do and all this” I wave my hoof around as I looked back at him “How about I show you what I can do” I had made a puzzled look on his face as my mane moved towards the middle of my head as the wind picked up changing my body slightly. I heard a few pops here and there as I flexed my wings out. He was just in shock again as I gave him a small grin as I hovered off the ground looking down at him.

“H…Ho….How?” was all he could spit out as I wrapped my hooves around his legs as I smiled.

“Magic.” Were the only thing I said before I took off lifting him with me as I flew out of the small cavern hole at the top of the grove where all the vines were growing through and the main source for the large amount of sunlight. I flew over the outer edges of Hollow Shades keeping my distance from the town giving him a grand view of Equestria as we could see the farm covered hills from here to FillyDelphia. The town was still building itself up just to be as large as Baltimare and Manehatten the two largest cities along the ocean that major in import and export from the Griffins and the Dragons. I flew over Neighagra falls not even hearing a sound from him as I land just along the edge of the falls as I placed him on the ground removing my hooves from him as he turned to face me. I haven’t even landed yet as I was still hovering in the air above him.

“That….That was.” He couldn’t even get the words out as I landed in front of him. I could see he was trying to think of the words as I started to flutter my wings as the wind came from the falls changing me back to normal, and whatever he was thinking was gone now as I walked towards the falls turning my eyes away from him as a wall of water came rushing down from the clouds and the mountain that was standing there with a large forest blocking the east creating a private romantic atmosphere. I walked behind the large wall of water blocking out the sounds of the birds and the bees along with some crickets. This was a perfect place, a place where I could sit and let my thoughts roll off the top of my head.  I pushed my mane back as he walked over to me placing his hoof on my shoulder.

“Should we get back in time for you train?” was the first thing he could spit out trying not to look flustered as those words made my eyes widen as I gave him a chuckle.

“I guess we can head back” I rubbed the back of my head as I walked past him letting the water flow over my hooves as small fish swim around the hooves nibbling a bit as I stepped around them. What worries me the most is that little nagging feeling that I have in the back of my head as he head out towards town. He was walking right beside me as he saw a few ponies working on the rail making sure that it was correctly laid the first time.

“Those ponies are always worried about that darn line.” He had moved over towards me making my face turn a deep dark red as I looked up at him.

“Well it does get ponies and other stuff to towns all over.” I made him look towards me as we followed the tracks taking our time. “So do you have any plans for the nearby future?” I wanted to break that damned silence as he sighed softly to himself.

“Well no. I’m just going to work the graveyard for the rest of my life.” He had given me a stern answer as I pushed my glasses back upon my muzzle.

“What about a dream?” that seemed to strike a nail on the head.

“Well I always wanted to live in the highest place in Equestria some where I could over look this land.” His eyes were lighting up as he looked towards the mountain that would be come Canterlot in much later years. “That or be a well-known Noble in the Everfree city.” I rubbed my hoof along my chin as I looked up at him. I had enough money saved up I could at least give him a dream but which one.

“Well if you were to live up on that mountain where would you develop the land?” I looked at him still as we got off the train tracks and looked up towards the mountain.

“I say near the top of the mountain just above that waterfall.” I pointed his hoof up there as I listened closely to how he had this whole house planned out in his head.

“If I told you a secret will you keep it? Will you stay sitting next to me? Or will you run?” I had completely shut him off as I asked three questions feeling like I owe him some sort of explanation since I just sat here and listen to him rumble off what he wanted in his life.

“Well I would keep and depends on what you’re going to say” He sat there sitting beside me as I turned to him. I just let it out, all out everything that I was holding back as I could see his eyes widen a bit as he placed a hoof on my shoulder.

“That must have been horrible” he pulled me into a hug as I smiled at him, as this reminds me of sweet and how she was just random but loveable. The sun was behind us now as we started walking down the tracks continue talking about my past and what he wanted. We both arrived in town laughing as we stopped in front of the water fountain noticing that the town was awful quiet tonight.

“I should be heading back to the graveyard thanks for the day.” He leaned in and kissed me making my ears turn red as I was stumbling on my words making him laugh. He went off towards the direction of the graveyard as I went towards my wagon. My mind was completely blank as I gave out a soft sigh as I reached my wagon using my magic I covered the door in a light greyish magic pushing it open. You know what I don’t mind if I do fall in love with a stallion at least I be different then a mare especially one who could bounce off walls, create living cakes and cupcakes, a large cotton candy monster and make a candy flower turn into a weed problem in Baltimare. I shut the door as I sprawled out in my bed pulling out a large book of hoof written poems by Edgar Allen Poe a very talented earth pony who could turn his dark and miserable life into a work of art that could leave you wanting more. Not too long into my favorite poem The Raven:

Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,

"Sir," said I, "or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore;

But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping,

And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,

That I scarce was sure I heard you"- here I opened wide the door;-

                Darkness there, and nothing more.

I wasn’t even far into the poem as I heard a knock on my door. I glance at well-worn page in the book then back at my door, as I went back to reading more knocking at my wagon door. I placed the book back on the shelf. I pulled the door open with my magic as I saw Necro standing there with his eyes blood shot as he was crying.

“Ms. Chain…..she passed on today.” he sounded heartbroken as I stepped to the side to let him in. He was whipping tears from his cheeks as he stepped in. He stopped for a few moments to take in my room. My wagon maybe small on the outside but it was larger on the inside. I had a large spacious bed covered in black sheets with a dark rose red down confuter on the top. I had a large shelve with different jars filled with different types of crystals and labels that read “Apple, Cherries, and Cherry Blossoms Etc.” another wall I had a shelf full of first editions of books time. I walked over towards my bed “Please make you’re self at home.” He walked over towards my bed the only thing I had to sit on in my wagon at the moment. I stopped for a moment and looked over at him.

“Would you like to talk about it?” All I got was silence as I walked over noticing he had fallen asleep holding a pillow with tears in his eyes sill. I felt guilty for taking him away from the town today. I started feeling guilty for taking him away from the town today. I placed a blanket over top of him before pulling out a spare pillow and blanket as I set a few magic candles around the wagon to keep the inside warm as I put the jars up and turning the lantern off. “Maybe in the morning I can get something out of him” I pulled the book down and opened it up to the story called Bon-Bon or more normally known as “The Bargain Lost.” I soon fell asleep after the story.
