I awoke smelling eggs but, I shook the smell from my nose and grabbed two apples and began eating them on my way down the stairs.I greeted Fluttershy seeing her cooking the eggs.I approached with a soft calm voice.

"Good morning, Fluttershy."

"G-good morning."

"You don't need to make me eggs at all I will fend for myself like I said."

"O-okay."she said with a depressing voice which I then smiled.

"Buuuuut...I can eat eggs...if you want me to.."I said copying her to which she giggled and pointed to a plate that housed two eggs.

Smiling I quickly ate the eggs.My mouth had never been filled with such ecstasy.I began to speak.

"Wow, Fluttershy.This is amazing!"

"I-I'm glad y-you think so."

"Ya know, flu--"The squawking of chickens interrupted our conversation.I ran to my room and grabbed the black suitcase.I thought some trouble was coming.

I ran to the door hearing growling from the chicken coop.I bursted from the door and Fluttershy was taking small steps shaking.I looked to the chicken coop.I saw these weird wood wolves chasing chickens.None of the chickens seemed to have been harmed.I set the suitcase down and unlocked it with the key in my pocket.Fluttershy began to speak.

"T-timberwolves!W-what a-are you go-going to do A-amos?"she asked cowering behind me.

"Take care of them."I said once I flipped open the case and the sword within shown in the sun.

Fluttershy gasped as I picked up the sword out of the suitcase and looked over to the timberwolves.

"Hey!You rotten sacks of driftwood,"the timberwolves looked at me with hate in their eyes.

"Amos...don't"Fluttershy had much fear in her voice.I looked back to her.

"Don't worry I can handle this....,"I said reassuring her then whispered to myself once I turned around,"I hope."I had some fear in my heart but, it was overwhelmed with the feeling to help my friend.

I charged at them, the sword in my hand waving as I charged towards the wolves.My sword had been made from steel coated with a mix of brimstone and rock.The handle was made with pure iron coated with gold.The hand guard was also coated in the shining yellow mineral.The end of the handle was spiked for special situations.The handle was long enough to be held with one hand for speed.Or both hands to utilize strength.The blade was roughly six feet and the handle being exactly a foot. It had been enchanted specially to be light as a feather so I could swing it.

The timberwolves left the chickens and focused upon me.I took a head count and said to myself,"Six wolves,"

I stopped fast and they slowly circled me.Fluttershy called out to me.

"Amos!"

"What!?

"D-don't get hurt..."

I smiled at the fact someone else cared for my health,"I don't plan on it!"

One of the timberwolves lunged at me to which I moved out of the way barely and sliced it in half easily,"One down....five to go."

Another was already upon my back.I ducked and it pounced upon me.I stood and grabbed its leg then swung it over in front of me, slamming it into the ground.It blasted apart.While I was busy one managed to bite my ankle.I winced and screamed in agony then gripped my sword with both hands.I brought it down on the wolf hard.Its head was immediately severed.Two more were in the air coming towards me.I crouched then sprang when they had jumped at me.One was sliced in half while the other had lost its face.I crouched in pain of my ankle.The last ran off scared.It apparently didn't want to follow the other's fate.

I winced in pain and looked at my ankle.Splinters were all in it with blood gushing down my foot.I looked to where Fluttershy was.I saw her and Twilight.They were staring at me in shock.Fluttershy ran up to me with eyes full of worry.Twilight followed a moment after.I assumed Fluttershy went to go get Twilight for help.

"Amos!A-are you okay?"Fluttershy sounded completely concerned.

"I...I think I am.."I replied.

Twilight's horn started to glow with a purple aura as did the splinters and the wound.I winced in pain as the splinters shot out fast and flung into the woods.The remains of the timberwolves went with the splinters.The bite mark started to seal up and the blood disappeared.Twilight spoke up.

"You're healed now....But why would you even think of trying to get rid of timberwolves.!?In your condition!"she scowled.

"Because...I had to protect my friend and the chickens."I responded looking toward Fluttershy.I smiled at her.She blushed in response and hid behind her mane.

"B-but!ERRGGHH!"Twilight stomped back to the library in anger.Once she was gone my hand started to glow red.The aura followed up the sword I still held tight in my hand.

"Wh-what's going on!?"I yelled.Fluttershy was completely quiet.

My sword then bursted into flames and my hand had stopped glowing as did the sword.The flames died out after a while.

"I-I think you reacted to Twilight's magic...."Fluttershy theorized.

"I think you are right,"I said.soon after followed a silence then Fluttershy hugged me tight with her hooves.

"I'm so glad you turned out okay."

I assumed she had a lot of emotion held back,"I am too.I am...too."I responded.

"I don't know what I would do if something worse had happened...."she said smiling with tears slowly flowing down her face,"You are such a good friend to me."she accidentally spilled her emotions out to me.

I smiled the spoke,"Let's go back inside and finished breakfast,"with that I packed the sword back in the case and headed inside.While we ate it was dead quiet.
