The Beginning of a Legacy of Greatness

In the magical land of Equestria, home to the human race, there were 4 sub-races of humans, each with their own quirks, features, and flaws, what made them special is their history, a history that will now be shared.

The Arcanus, beings born of human form and pure magic, magic gave them knowledge, and they were the first to develop language and science, as well as the first to leave the reliance on instinct behind, magic acts like an energy that flows with the air like the atmosphere, and the Arcanus can harness it directly in raw form and shape it to their will. With a black star on the back of their right hand, the Arcanus use this symbol (like a unicorn's horn) as a vessel to manipulate magic, they were diplomatic and wise, and introduced their concepts of communication to the other 2 races, an odd (and sometimes funny) fact about the physiology of their stars is, the number of points on the star range from 3 to 100, not much is known about how much this affects, though studies have shown that the number of points does NOT correlate to the strength of their magic.

The Aegis, beings born of human form, birds, and magic, the magic allowed such a fusion to occur, and with it, they changed, with hollow bones, thin frames, and a deep seated tie with instincts, they were aggressive despite their fragileness, and communicated using various 'cave' noises, grunts, growls, shrieks, etc. While most of their animalistic instincts and even genetics have been left behind, such as males having brightly colored feathers to attract mates, mating seasons and rituals, and a few other things, involuntary actions like the flaring of the wings to make themselves look bigger in the presence of competition, and other wing things have survived the advancement of society. The span of their wings at full growth is always somewhat bigger than their height, many times those who are 5'0" to 5'7" have wingspan only 1 inch longer on either side, the lower limit of their height is much smaller than other races, 5'8" to 6'6" typically have wingspans between 6'6" and 7' even, the color of the feathers varies widely from aegis to aegis, but gone are the times that males were more bright and vivid and females were more muted and dull. Evidence also proves that aegis, being more in tune with instincts, can recognize emotions quite well.

The Geus, being born of human form, the earth, and magic, the magic that they have is less powerful, but more specialized than the others. Being born of the earth, they are extremely physically powerful, a proper representation is: imagine 2 Olympic gold medalists, one an arcanus, the other an aegis, they are gold medalists in many physical sports, average Joe geus guy, working an office job, comes into the game, the 2 medalists pale and collapse in comparison to average guy Joe geus. What little magic they have is towards nature, which is why they are the best at growing food, in the early times, they could be considered druids, living with the land, not beside it, not adjacent to it, WITH it, early communication consisted of animal sounds. A few reports show that a geus man once stole a bank, not robbed it, stole it, as in, STOLE THE WHOLE FUCKING BANK, he lifted it up off of the ground, shook out all the people, and ran off. Many towns founded by geus, despite what location they might be in, 9 times out of 10, there will be a farm of some kind near the town.

The Soverus, far from normal, the powers that be, Queen Faust and King McCracken, knew that the humans, with their destructive nature, would destroy themselves in the process of destroying everything else, so they created many avatars of power, beings of might and authority, who ruled the aspects of the world, from Celestia and Luna, of the sun and moon, to Morally, of diseases- I'm kidding, of morals, to Shaded and Miler, of darkness/lightness and technology, to even Arcana, Sora, and Gaia, of magic, the sky, and the earth. With the godly powers of the soverus, Celestia and Luna being the most diplomatic, they ruled over their mortal subjects, guiding them and protecting them. With the combined powers of all 3 races, great physical power, most of the time, the females can choose to be matronly or more lithe and regal. Their wings are built differently from an aegis, where as aegis would be like earth's birds, soverus would be like an angel, with wingspans often ranging from 7' even to 9' even, feathers large and sometimes ending with small curls, though the most common is a long oval shape. Their magic is, if pushed, about 1000 times more powerful than a normal arcanus, though the latter can push their magic into the triple digits.

Celestia and Luna, princesses of the land.

The people of the land, the arcanus, aegis, and geus.

It was a great place, almost perfect.

almost......

Long ago, in the mystical land of Equestria, there were 2 regal sisters who governed the land.

The older used her power to raise the sun in the morn and set it in the eve.

The younger used her power to raise the moon in the eve and set it in the morn.

They lived together in harmony, with their people, the humans, so bright, curious, and wide-eyed, yet at the same time content, foolish, and volatile.

One day, it was a *day*, the younger sister realized her contempt for her sister.

While their people worked and played in the day, they slept through her majestic night, ignoring its glories.

Hatred and evilness consumed the moon soverus, turning her into a wicked being of darkness who refused to set the moon.

Nightmare Moon.

Shocked by this development, the sun soverus pleaded with her sister, but when Nightmare Moon didn't comply, the sun soverus used the only other tactic she could think of.

The Elements of Harmony, relics of unimaginable power, the older sister used them all to banish Nightmare Moon to the very place she fought for, the moon itself.

Drained of her power and sealed away, Nightmare Moon would not return for another 1000 years, on the longest day of the year, she will escape.

She will enact her revenge, and shroud the land in an eternal night.

"HOLY SHIT! This isn't my math book." Derek Ganter shouted, setting the book aflame with his magic.

"Oh fuck, I'm probably going to have to pay for that." the Archmage worried aloud, running a hand across his face.

He was a decent sized arcanus, standing about 6' even, russet brown hair in a clean, short cut, though the back and front were slightly longer, he had a medium build, not too strong but there was some meat on his bones, a white shirt with red water designs on it covered his chest and upper arms, he had a C-oN-VeNieN-Ce brand watch, which not only told the time, but the day of the week, day of the month, the month, the temperature, and the season. Gray jeans on his legs, red all-stars on his feet, he had style.

Standing up, using his magic to clean off of his cutie mark, placed right below his left elbow area, it depicted a golden starburst symbol with a black brass knuckles to either side, showing that his talent was fighting magics.

Having fully cleaned his plain white shirt of the blood of a recent victim, he dropped the orb of red liquid onto the ground, stepping over the headless corpse of said victim, walking away and off to the library, he needed a new book.

"OMC, Derek, did you just kill that guy?" some annoying guy came up to him out of nowhere and asked that intrusive question.

"Shut up assclown, yes it was me, I'm the only murderer in the whole town, even Celestia knows that, I socked him in the face with the good old B.B. spell, he was trying to take my book, which I have to pay for since I accidentally burned it after realizing that it wasn't a math book." Derek explained, to anyone, even those who knew the context of the story, it would sound very confusing.

The annoying citizen left, and Derek walking his way to the library.

Something in his gut told him that today was not going to be a good day.

He might even need his AK, but probably not.

The library, and adventure, awaited him.

Camaraderie is Magic, Part 1

Derek walked through the city streets, everyone giving him a wide clearance, knowing his volatile tendencies.

Lighting a cigarette, he took a long drag as he climbed the stairs, opening the doors to the royal library, puffing out a large cloud of smoke.

Being a protagonist, he had a chemical in his blood that prevented things like cancer, STDs, STIs, and other stuff, though in reduced amounts the effect would, logically, be reduced.

"Sam take a letter." the warmonger shouted, taking another drag and another puff of smoke.

"Derek, you know you shouldn't smoke in the library." the red robe clad mage complained, but nevertheless brandishing a scroll and quill as ordered.

"I make the rules here, and I say Rule 1: I can smoke. Now then, if your done wasting my letter time, write to Celestia 'I need something to do, please respond with something legitimate, I hate it when you try to troll, and every time you do that, you know the result, I punch you with my Bad-Brass spell. sincerely, Derek Ganter." the still smoking man said, the healing magic focused wizard writing everything down.

Casting a small puff of dark green fire onto the scroll, the ashes turned into magical smoke.

"Why do you keep threatening the princess of the sun? Dude, that's not smart." Sam queried, adjusting his robe and running a hand through his pinkish-red hair.

"One day, I'll be alive, and she'll be dead, because I'll find a way to kill her, I'm Derek *MOTHERFUCKING** Ganter*, are my eyes normal again?" Derek asked, holding his eyelids wide open.

"Yep, good old red eyes, the sign of a hero." the assistant assured.

"Alright, awesome, everyone knows that blue eyes are evil, so I really like mine being red." the mage cheered.

*FLASH*

"Letter's here." the supporting arcanus informed, holding the scroll that just formed from his cauterize fire.

"Let's see what it says." Derek wondered, holding the scroll aloft.

"Dear Derek, I have a task that I would have done, but since you're offering to do it for me, you can, go to Heroville, the not-so-notable town in the center of the country, that's where the Summer Sun Celebration will be taking place, you have a set of tasks as the manager, which will be on a list enclosed in this letter, sincerely, Princess Celestia of Equestria." the scroll read itself, magical talking scrolls were commonplace in Equestria.

"Well well, welly well well, I got some business to do. Sam, we need to pack our things, you heard the letter, we're going to Heroville." Derek directed, pulling out a slip of paper.

It was a notice of his renewal of his subscription to a tobacco company, don't ask how that works.

"I'm packed, what about you dude?" the underequipped man asked, cracking his joints.

"I have everything, I think." he checked his pack again.

A quill made from one of Celestia's feathers (which made it nigh indestructible), a few scrolls with some important information on them, and some bits.

"Yeah, let's go." the red mage confirmed.

The pair exited the library, Derek taking initiative and snapping his fingers for a teleportation.

Disappearing and then reappearing in a flash of light, the male duo stepped onto the chariot designated for their transportation.

Lighting up another cigarette, Derek watched the thin trail of smoke shoot out of the furiously burning tip, he favored a blend that gave the effect of both a stimulant and depressant.

It calmed him.

"We're here, sir." the aegis guards that were hooked up to the chariot spoke up.

"That was a quick trip, let's go." Spike noted, jumping out of the chariot.

"Yeah, thanks Sunny Flowers and Grassy Fields, take this." Derek offered, and without waiting for a response, he dumped the few copper bits he had into their hands.

Walking down the street, Sam spoke up.

"Okay, first on the list is-" he was cut off.

Derek stumbled slightly at the sudden impact from someone else.

She was pink, really pink, wearing a pink shirt and pink shorts, pink shoes, pink hair, even her skin was a pink undertone, his own was lightly tanned from frequent, if short, periods of time spent outside in the sun.

The only thing that wasn't pink on her was her eyes, which were a watery, innocent blue, they looked teeming with life and joy.

Derek realized that she was staring back at him, scanning his face with her gaze.

Something clicked in her head, as she finally backed up from being 6 inches from his face.

"*LE EPIC GASP*" she jumped up into the air and somehow zoomed off while still airborne.

"That was, mildly odd." Derek had seen worse, like his cutie mark story.

Continuing his trek down the road, the brown haired warmonger contemplated his previous meeting with the pink girl.

Her cutie mark was 3 balloons, which he could guess meant that she was quite the party animal.

"Sweet Apple Acres, and we're here!" Sam said cheerfully , he was about 2 feet tall while Derek was 6 feet, so the sound had a bit of a ways to go.

"WOOHOO!" a deep voice shouted.

Derek sidestepped the charging man, watching as the large figure launched his foot out at a tree, knocking the apples off of it.

"I feel the need to commend you on efficiency, though I will insult your lack of efficiency if you do that big charge up every time." the arcanus commented.

Another tree was kicked, and another, and another, within a few minutes of slightly stupefied watching, the entirety of the immediate vicinity was cleared of apples.

"Mighty fine to meet ya, the name's Charles, who're you? I don't think I've seen you 'round these parts before." the somewhat charming man gave a friendly, welcoming smile.

Quickly looking over him, he was large, 6'6", wearing a dark brown Stetson and a brown shirt, probably chosen to keep the inevitable farming caused dirt-stains subtle, faded blue jeans and leather work boots covered his legs and feet, his eyes were green, like the leaves on the trees.

"I'm Derek Ganter, sent from Canterlot to manage the preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration, you have the food?" the arcanus queried.

"That's right, the whole family got together this year, and as part of the Summer Sun Celebration, they've made the food, allow to me to introduce...." Charles grabbed Derek and speedily made his way to a table, plunking the arcanus down as he introduced the whole of the family.

About 11 minutes of nothing but introductions to various people, 99% of whom were named after foods.

"Nice family, but, and take no offense to this, but I didn't ask about your damn family, I asked about food, and this pile looks good, I'm leaving, goodbye." Derek remained cold, even under all the warmth of this welcome, to show that their efforts were not ineffective at best, and downright detested at worst, he grabbed a various pastries and a pie before he walked away.

Handing the pastries to his support mage, he ate handfuls of the pie on his way back to town.

<>

Walking through the city streets, he heard a voice shouting, not even 10 seconds after he threw away the pie tin.

"LOOK OUT!!!" a pair of voices screamed, Derek scanned the sky with extreme quickness, finding 2 aegis on a cloud, looking down at him expectantly.

"Look out for WHAT? An assclown? Because I already see 2." he countered, making the aegis duo look at him, surprised.

"Enough, I see 2 of you, and there are 2 people listed on weather duty, so I ask, how in the HELL did, between BOTH OF YOU, did you NOT ALREADY CLEAR THE SKY!" he felt like a jerk, but he was 10 minutes behind schedule, so speed was needed.

"Oh, is that a challenge, fool?" the pair countered, getting into a ready position.

They were both androgynous in appearance, he scanned their forms, trying to figure out the Oak's question.

The first was hard to guess, she/he had rainbow hair that reached her/his shoulders, though men with long hair was also commonplace in Equestria, so no info to gain from that, a cyan shirt was all she/he wore on her/his upper body, a pair of light blue shorts and blue sneakers attempted to cover the lithe, muscle-bound legs, though the shape was faintly feminine in appearance, the face had a very androgynous appearance, the eyes were feminine though, he could detect a small... um... secondary rise of the chest with each breath, he was going to go with assuming that it was a she and that those were small breasts.

The second was more obvious, shoulder length blackish-brown hair, a Mega Death t-shirt, though for some odd reason the band's name was spelled correctly , at least according to language rules, blue jeans and black sneakers, it was more than likely a he.

"Yes, I challenge you 2 to clear the sky, in 5 minutes or less." the ground-bound conversation member dared.

"HA, give us 5 seconds and we'll have it done." without waiting, the pair fly off.

Soaring through the sky with extreme speed, the pair broke clouds in synchronized efficiency, Derek had pulled out a stopwatch and waited for the-

"TIME!" one of them shouted.

"4 with a decimal point followed by about 60 9s, seconds, alright, you win, what're your names?" the battle mage asked, getting to the formalities.

"I'm Rainbow Dash." the cyan clad woman said proudly, the voice gave it away, though raspy, it was definitely feminine.

"Gee, I wonder why you were called *that*, I wonder SO MUCH, in fact, that I'm still talking in this voice." Derek replied sarcastically.

"My name is Kage Kobain, pleased to meet you..." Kage reached out his hand for a handshake.

"Derek, Derek Ganter, nice to meet you." the mage could sense a bloodlust in this man, a yearning to be a torturer.

He liked him already.

"I need to go, I'm supposed to be managing the SSC preparations, and I need to get back to doing so." Derek excused himself, teleporting away.

Appearing a few blocks away, he looked around for any signs of Town Hall, which was where the events of the SSC were to take place.

"Sam, any ideas on where town hall is?" the small dragon shrugged in response.

"Hey, where's town hall?" the man asked a random passerby.

"Right there." the random disposable citizen pointed behind our main character, showing him a large building with 'Heroville Town Hall' printed in big, bold letters above the door.

Derek felt angry at the fact that he missed such an obvious thing, and turned around to uppercut the random disposable passerby, severing the head from the neck with the force and crushing the body with a telekinetic grasp.

Hiding the gooey sludge that was once a person in a nearby trashcan, the violent mage entered town hall.

Inside, there was a pretty young woman hanging ribbons, tapestries, and streamers around the main room with her magic.

Many long, highly curled locks of hair flowed down from her head, her figure was a bit shapely, covered by a long white dress, nice hips, a sway to her walk, average breasts, crystal-like sapphire blue eyes.....

Oh shit, she's looking at him.

"Can I help you sir, and might I ask why you smell like metal?" the model-like woman asked interrogatively, not liking being interrupted.

Derek looked at his white shirt and found it to be marred by surprisingly stylish blood splatters.

"Don't mind the bloodstains, I'm fine, really, it's not my blood, anyways, are you..." he paused to look at the list, "Rarity, doing the decorations, which, I might add, look very nice." he complimented.

"Yes, although I'm concerned about the part where you said it wasn't your blood on your shirt." the fashionista was met with a teleportation sound accompanied by the telltale flash of light.

Derek was gone, not feeling like being questioned about his habits.

He was a normal man, he just liked spilling blood, and smoking, can't forget smoking.

<>

It was hard to miss the home of Kage Kobain, after all....

IT WAS A FUCKING MANSION!

"WHAT THE HELL!" Derek agreed with the narration, it was surprising.

"What's wrong?" Kage asked, suddenly next to Derek, a guitar in hand.

"Gah! I didn't see you there, I'm just surprised this is your house." the arcanus admitted.

"Yeah, it is, I get a pretty hefty salary, being in the music business though, though stealing from my victims helps cover unexpected costs." the aegis muttered.

"Okay, cool, so, you're the entertainment for the SSC?" the fighter questioned, unsure of what this strange person could do to make people feel better.

"Yep, let me give you a sample." Kage quickly tuned his guitar, then started playing the song.

Youtube Video

"Whew, that was a mild workout." the master guitarist said, a bit out of breath.

"Sam, is h-" Derek was cut off, looking slightly perturbed.

"No, Derek, he's not dead, I checked, and you can trust me, because I'm a professional." Sam answered.

"So, nice to meet you again so soon, Derek." Kage greeted, shortly before entering his home, effectively ending the conversation.

"Alright then, so, time to find my own house." the mage stated, turning and walking back into town.

<>

Standing in front of the giant tree with a door and windows, Derek was amazed.

"Books and Branches library, a simple, yet very explanatory name, I like it."

Walking inside slowly, lighting up a cigarette and flaring up his magic to turn on the light slowly.

"SURPRISE!!!" the crowd shouted, much louder than necessary.

Derek flinched and lashed out, casting out a magical wave of fire, setting almost a quarter of the crowd on fire.

Everyone was sent into a frenzy, rushing out of the library, many dropped dead, seeing as how they were burning to death.

The only person left was Pinkie Pie, looking at him wide-eyed.

"Get, out, you have invoked the ruination of my peaceful time here, I will kill you too if you don't LEAVE!" Derek was pissed off, intensely so.

"Please don't drive my away, I want to be your friend, I'm sorry." the nigh-infinitely pink woman pleaded, getting on her knees and giving him a cute pouty face.

"I don't need friends, I don't care, alright, either suck my dick or get the fuck out." the warmonger was pissed off, he hated it when people begged for forgiveness without a reason to.

"I'll take the former, and then we can be FRIENDS FOREVER, WOOHOO!" the master of ceremonies jumped into the air joyously, grabbing Derek and using her powerful jumping ability to bring them both to a nearby couch.

"Wait... what? I..... what?" the arcanus was confused, was this actually happening?

No seriously, was this actually happening?

1 dick sucking later

Yeah, that just happened.

Derek stumbled and fell out of the door to the library, pushing himself up, levitating himself to a standing position.

Pinkie jumped into a nearby blade of grass, disappearing through a Pinkie Pie Portal.

"Dear Celestia, that was intense." he muttered, limping a bit, not to break rating, but teeth may have been involved.

"Need a heal, bro?" Sam asked, twirling his hand and summoning a ball of energy to heal his friend.

"You wouldn't think it would be so draining, but I'd say she's a professional." Derek remarked, looking at the sky, then at the front of Town Hall, feeling rejuvenated, he opened the door and entered.

Most people gave him a wide clearance, already aware of what he might do.

Smoking 2 cigarettes at the same time, Derek sat by refreshment table with his burning 'fangs'

"Good show earlier, never seen a place get cleared that fast." it was Kage, giving congratulations.

"Whatever, I'm waiting for Celestia to get here." the warmonger excused himself, walking off into the crowd, still being given a wide clearance.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, please give it up for our grand ruler, the one who gives us the sun and the moon each and every day, her highness, Princess Celestia!" Mayor Mare announced, motioning for Rarity, who was with her on an elevated balcony, to open the curtains.

Everyone was shocked to see....

Nothing, nothing at all.

If there was nothing there, that meant that Celestia was missing.

Derek went into action, scanning the crowd, walls, pillars, balconies, and windows in only a few seconds.

The moon, outside the moon had changed.

Where there was previously a splattering of dark spots that somewhat resembled a woman's face from the side, was now nothing, it was as though the darkened area simply left the moon altogether.

An explosion of smoke that looked like the night sky rang out from the balcony, sending Rarity and Mayor Mare tumbling off the side, landing hard but no worse for wear.

"MWAHAHAHA, HAHHAHAHAAHHAAA! Hello subjects, your true ruler has returned." A large figure stated.

Her form was elegant, about 7'2" tall, with large breasts and shapely hips, a slender stomach which Derek could see had hard packed abdomen muscles, layers of plushness hid her physical strength all over, from her well defined legs and disproportionately large feet to her strong hands and sinewy fingers. Her whole being exuded an aura of power and temptation, a valid tactic in taking over the world, after all, it would be easier to control people if they like looking at you.

Her hair looked as though it was a cutout from the night sky, a cloud of blue with white sparkles mixed in and her eyes were a chilling turquoise, an evil blue and an envious green were the base colors.

She was draped in a long, 1 leg covering black dress, with light blue plate mail armor on the shoulders and upper chest, forearms, and from the feet to the knees, along with a helmet to (pun inbound) top it all off.

She smirked at him, taking his observation as ogling.

"I am here again, to bring my glory to all of you, remember this day, for it shall be your last, because THE NIGHT, SHALL LAST, FOREVER! MWAHAAHAHAHAA, HAHAHHAAAHAAHAAAAA!" Nightmare Moon laughed her evil laugh.

She was subsequently blasted in the face by a magic missile-type attack.

"SHUT UP BITCH!" Derek shouted, casting another missile of golden energy.

"You DARE to ASSAULT your GODDESS OF THE NIGHT?! WHO ARE YOU, FOOL!?" NMM demanded, readying her own attacks.

"My name is Derek Ganter, Archmage of the Academy of Magic's Battle Magic section, I'm going to use my powers and knowledge to kill you." the smoker announced, levitating himself into the air.

NMM leered at him, then whisked herself away as a cloud of night smoke.

Kage trailed her out of the building, shaking his fists at her quickly retreating form, moving much too fast for him to catch at the moment.

"AND STAY OUT, YOU STUPID BITCH!" he shouted angrily, he wasn't going to let his town of potential victims get imposed on by some black clad villainess.

He's kind of like the guy from Breaking Bad.

Derek was full out sprinting to the library, the answers he needed would be in there.

All the hope he needed was in that tree.

Somewhere.

...

"Derek, back already? Did you kill someone again?" Sam, who had stayed behind, greeted, setting down his book.

"I need the, um, think Derek think, Nightmare Moon was last defeated by the.... ELEMENTS OF HARMONY, SAM, I NEED THE ELEMENTS OF HARMONY BOOK!" Derek shouted his command.

"Lucky for you, I was reading it, here you go." the red mage revealed, handing over the Elements of Harmony Guidebook.

"Okay, let's see...." Derek was flipping pages before being interrupted.

"HEY, how do you know Ms. Black Bitch of the Moon, I want answers, you've been sketchy ever since you showed up in town, I've been watching you." Kage interrogated.

"I'm trying to THINK here Kage, I don't have time to be interrogated right now." the black mage protested, continuing his reading of the book.

"Kage here told us that not 20 minutes into your stay, you outright MURDERED somebody, that is not right, darling." Rarity rebuked.

"And you literally KILLED THE PARTY, THAT'S REALLY MEAN Y'KNOW!" Pinkie screamed at him, getting all up in his grill.

"You practically shat on my family's introduction, it's like you have no value for people's feelings." Charles added.

"And when you attacked Nightmare Moon or whatever her name was, you looked like you were EXPECTING HER, and the way that you kill people and don't care, I'd say you have no value for life." Rainbow Dash finished off, thoroughly pissed off.

"*ahem* I don't care, I have killed everything in every form there is, the smallest of ants to the mightiest of dragons. Man, woman, child, it doesn't matter to me, I will slaughter all who stand in my way, so I suggest you clear the path." the warmonger threatened, charging up his magic.

"We're not leaving without ANSWERS fool." Kage countered.

"I will watch the whole world BURN before I let someone tell me what to do." Derek telekinetically moved everyone out of the way.

"The Elements of Harmony, Honesty, Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, Loyalty, and the sixth, which nobody alive knows what is, this is my goal, and my goal leads me to the..." Derek paused.

Later, at the Everfree Forest

"Everfree Forest, a place for vile scum to get massacred, now if you'll excuse me I have some vile scum to massacre." the black mage dismissed himself.

"We're coming with you." Kage said aloud, swooping down to be beside Derek.

"Suit yourself, if anyone else wants to join me, feel free." Derek offered.

The 6 somewhat friends entered the Everfree Forest.

Together.

Let's hope they survive.

Camaraderie is Magic, Part 2

Walking into the forest, most of the group looked perturbed by Derek's lack of hesitance.

"What's so weird about the Everfree forest anyways?" he asked, using his magic to create a large orb of light.

"Well, to put it simply, the plants grow on their own, the weather changes on it's own, the animals somehow survive on their own, it's an unnatural mess, darling." Rarity summarized, still looking nervous.

"That's not scary at all, you're all just a bunch of wimps." Derek, Kage, and Charles all said at the same time.

Briefly looking at one another, the 3 men continued forward, guided by the light of Derek's orb.

Derek briefly pondered the current state of Equestrian government.

In the last 50 years there had been major breakthroughs in expanded liberties, men had earned their rights for property, voting for officials, and some other stuff, Derek himself was actually the first male student Celestia had had in about 1030 years, the last one was executed for piss poor performance during an event so major, it left the nation scarred and frightened for another 2 centuries, the banishment of Nightmare Moon.

From the start, Equestria had been run by women, they were often more intelligible (due to higher blood flow to the brain), and in archaic times each and every one of them was treated as a goddess of life for their ability to bear children, when society came together though, the thoughts were cast out when it was discovered that they could all do that.

Men were seen as workers, doing the physical stuff, while the women did the mental stuff, like government.

Recently, Arnold Smorzenegger, named so because in Germaney, as it was now known, that meant he was good at bringing different things together, like making a smores sandwich, or something.

The point was, he was recently appointed as governor of some city in Equestria, the news had been, unbalanced, there was little, if any, mention of exactly WHERE he was governor of, just that he was one.

What was funny was his preceding acting career, which also affected D-flank 'the boulder' Johnson, as he was now known, for becoming too big and strong to be called a rock.

Speaking of rocks, gemstones formed in the ground because of the interaction between magic and minerals, which causes their very large, clean cut formation so close to the surface.

The surface of the sun is like.... 4000 degrees.

The mass of the sun is 1.989 x 10^30, or 1989000000000000000000000000000 kilograms.

Wait, Derek, focus man.

Oh shit, he fell off the cliff.

"FUACK!" he shouted in surprise, grabbing the edge and holding on for dear life.

Charles grabbed him and tried to pull him up.

And failed.

"I'm sorry man, I can't pull you up." Charles apologized.

"Why the fuck NOT!" Derek was freaking out, freaking out too much to

"I admit it, I lack the upper body strength, my job was all about the legs, I'm sorry." the geus apologized again.

"Great, how does that help me in, oh, it's this little thing that I like to do, it's called NOT DYING!" the battle mage was still freaking out.

"You should just let him go, he deserves it, laser guided karma, as they say, and plus he's mean." Pinkie insisted, crossing her arms and giving a 'humph'.

Charles looked at Derek, who looked at him with more than a bit of desperation.

"I'm letting go." he warned, before releasing the warmonger for gravity to take hold of him.

"I'M HAUNTING ALL OF YOU MOTHERFUCKEEEEEERRSSSSS!" Derek shouted up, trying to get louder as he fell further.

He fell

and fell

and fell.

and stopped falling.

"I won't let you just die, at least I can see the qualities in you." Kage assured, slowing the pair's descent until they gently touched down to the ground.

"Thanks, at least there's another person like me around here." Derek thanked, noting the red color of Kage's eyes.

Red eyes meant heroic, after all, and both of them had red eyes.

Charles navigated his way down the cliff like a goat.

Rainbow Dash carried Rarity down.

Pinkie Pie jumped into the cliff wall, and reappeared out of a nearby tree.

"Okay, so, Charles, I'm still mad, even if you were honest about your inabilities, you shouldn't just drop someone off a cliff, seriously, fuck you." Derek reprimanded, getting the train back on track.

They kept trekking through the forest, coming to a choke point between 2 walls, a narrow passageway, blocked by a manticore.

"I'm starting to like this place." the black mage stated, launching a powerful blast of magic at the manticore.

Said beast began to roar loudly, blocking the blast with it's large, thick bat wing.

Rainbow Dash charged, getting a higher position.

The manticore raised a paw, revealing a giant thorn that should have pierced through it's paw all the way to the other side.

The speedster stopped, looking at the thorn, then back at the face of the beast.

The mish-mash of a creature looked pained, not angry, she could tell, aegis could tell emotions a lot better than non-aegis.

"Hey, stop that, if you just need the thorn removed, I'll do it." the spectral haired girl offered, holding out her hand.

The manticore looked at her with a pathetic expression on it's face, holding out its paw

Slowly removing the knife-sized thorn from the massive paw, the manticore roared in pain, then calmed suddenly.

"Huh, much better, thank you." the beast said in plain English, walking away.

"Did, did that thing just talk?" everyone asked everyone else.

Moving on.

It was extremely dark in this next area of the woods, too dark.

The trees suddenly grew faces, scary mean faces.

Other than a jump scare, these things weren't really scary.

Derek looked at his companions, Pinkie looked ecstatic.

Then she started laughing uproariously at the faces on the trees.

And..

and......

.................

eh, fuck it all.

I just can't

this isn't how this is supposed to be.
