Chapter I
“NEXT!!” Boomed the voice of the Guardian who was judging the millions of souls. You were next.
How did you get in this mess? The lest time you checked, you were enjoying a bike ride down the street, next thin you know, you’re standing in a line of creatures and people, some of the creatures you recognize as video game aliens and even some movie aliens, the rest are very odd. And you looked a head of the line, you saw it went on for a good like while.
And at the end, stood a massive Greek/Roman style thing. You weren’t too sure if it was a castle or a home. But either way, you were heading towards it.
And along the lines were men and other creatures in armor, they whiled staffs and from the looks of the ends, they hand energy blades that would turn on.
One you were close to one you asked it a few questions. The answers you got weren’t too pleasing.
If what he told you was true, you died on your bike, most likely on impact from a big ass bus or something. And you were headed to one of Six guardians to be judged for how I lived my life. And from the sounds of things, you weren’t going to any heaven.
"Step forth, Michael John of America. It’s time for the Guardian to judge you.” Said one of the many Arbiters who were guarding the many souls who were ready to be judged. Sadly I wasn’t ready to be judged, I still had hopes and dreams.
“Michael John, you have done a great many things in your life. None of them good. You didn’t even enjoy them either. You lived without honor. I ask you, do you know why you were created? You were created to enjoy the great many things that come with free will. And now? You dishonor me and my kin. However, you’ll be sent to a heaven, one called Equestria.” You picked up your head and looked up to face the Guardian. His face had no trace of dishonesty. He was very serious.
“A-are you telling the truth?”
“No.” Suddenly the Titan reached for a lever beside his desk and I fell through the floor. The white room was replaced with a forest.
“No?”
You looked around you. You only saw forest, and not a welcoming one at that. This forest was a mix of what you used to see back home and one you would see in a story book. Then suddenly, it hit you. You were in Equestria, he was telling the truth! You looked around once again, you decided to take a few steps forward, to see if you truly had control of what was about to happen
Needless to say, you landed face first. This was because you didn’t think of moving your arms. Rolling on your side, you pulled one of your arms up to your face to rub away the pain. However rather than a Hoof or Hand. A Paw hit you muzzle.
Paw? You rolled over onto your back and looked down. What you saw was a little unsettling. Four paws, ragged fur, white belly, crimson sides, and deadly looking claws on each paw.
You’re a Wolf... And you’re in Equestria... You need meat to survived... And the characters are made of meat...
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The birds that Fluttershy was watching for the weekend, flew off from the deathly yell that came from the closest edge Everfree Forest near her Cottage. The yell sounded like one from a Timber Wolf, only not a Timber Wolf. Thinking quickly, Fluttershy ran into her Cottage and retrieved a first aid kit, took one last look at the forest, and ran in with her eyes closed.
Her charge was swift and didn’t end with her running head first into a tree like she expected. Rather, she galloped into an open area, from where the yell came from. But nothing was there. Only a small trail leading to a think brush.
And front the looks of the trail, the poor creature was injured, it was only using it’s front paws to move.
With the aid of her wing, Fluttershy moved away the sticks and leaves away from her field of view. And there, curled up into a small ball, lay a massive wolf. Not a Timber Wolf, more like one of the Legendary Dire Wolves from deep up North, even farther North than the Crystal Empire.
It whimpered and snarled slightly. It’s body was shaking, it looked like it was freezing. Fluttershy was torn, she either help the creature and risk her own harm, or save herself and let this poor Dire Wolf die.
Quickly making up her mind. Fluttershy placed a hoof inside the bush and moved in closer to get a better look at it. As she did this she did her best not to russet the leaves and alert the Wolf. Doing so would either prove ideal or disastrous.
You felt something touch you, you merely assumed it was a stick and ignored it. However, the thing that came next scared you. It pushed harder.
Her first poke didn’t seem to do anything. This Wolf was far worse off than she had originally thought. So she pushed harder. This sent a jolt down it’s sine and it rolled over to face her. It’s deep red eyes burning brightly in the low light of the bush.It’s razor sharp teeth glowed bright deadly white.
The second poke scared the living shit out of you, purely acting on your new found instinct, you rolled over and bearded you fangs. What you saw was half expected, after all, in every MLP fan fiction, the human usually meets Fluttershy first. There she was, the light of the outside back lit her, her wings were flared because she was scared, and she looking like what you would imagine and Angel looking like. Frail, yet strong.
The Wolf’s deadly demeanor faded as it slumped to the ground, it had passed out, most likely from injury. Thinking fast, Fluttershy pulled the huge Wolf out of the bush and laid him out and checked his body fro top to bottom.
She hand found to injury, nor did she see any sort of prior damage. The wolf looked to be in peak condition, with that said she had never seen a fully grown Dire Wolf before.
Unfurling her wings, she leaped into the sky and headed home, she needed help with this one.
“That it mister Bear. Gently lift the nice Wolf. Good, now let’s head back and get him to bed, he needs some rest, don’t you?” Asked Fluttershy as she ran her hoof along the length of the Dire Wolf. It’s thick heavy hair leaving a mark where she hand ran her hoof.
The Bear had picked you up like you weight nothing, you were in complete shock. You doubt you would have been able to be moved by the Bear if you weren’t.
Once Fluttershy and the Bear had brought the Wolf to a bed, the Bear took his leave, not wanting to be there when the massive Wolf awoke.
After retrieving some cool water to wash the small bits of mud that were on it’s paws, Fluttershy began to think of how she would feed a Wolf that looking like it stood taller than even Big McIntosh. From the looks of it, it was about 10 hooves tall. Big Mac was only about 9 hooves tall, with the Solar Princess being about 10 and a half hooves tall. And from the looks of it, he looks like he could eat more the even the Bear.
“Oh, what am I going to do? I can’t feed him real meat, I’ll need to get him some fish. Oh I hope he like fish.” Said Fluttershy to no one in particular. She hoofed the ground before taking her leave and letting the Wolf sleep, an action she may regret.
You lay in the bed on your left side, you breathed slowly. Trying to think of a great plan to get out of here, if his truly is Equestria, you’re fucked. Either way, it’s time to ask for help. You opened your mouth, and no sound came out. You strained and a slight squeak escaped and made it out into the room. After another attempt with the same results, an old say worked it’s way into your head:
“Only an Idiot tries the same thing twice and expects something different to happen.”
Ha, who ever said that first was right. You shouldn’t have tried a second time. Well, either way, speaking or no speaking, you’ll make it through. You hope. Anyways. It’s time to sleep. After all, you died a few minutes ago.
Chapter II
Twilight place the last of the new monthly Daring Doo books on the top shelf of the new Release section. She glanced down to she Spike sitting in he mob pale, passed out from all the work he had been doing.
“Oh Spike, you’re such a great helper. But so times you need to know your limits.” Said Twilight as she took the sleepy dragon in her magical embrace and took him to his bed.
A knock on the door broke the silence that was growing as Twilight made her way down the stairs and down to the main level. She walked up to the door and opened it. What she saw was Fluttershy, a mix of worry and relief was on her face.
“Oh good, um Twilight? Could you please help me? I have this wolf.. I think it might be a Dire Wolf. And I was ho-” She was cut off by Twilight as she placed her hoof in front of Fluttershy’s mouth.
“Dire. Wolf? WHY WOULD ONE COME HERE?!?” Boomed Twilight as she bolted back to her shelf and began ripping books off and flipping through them, seemingly looking for something.
“Um, why are you mad, did I make you mad or did the news make you mad?” Asked Fluttershy as she coward in the door way of Twilight’s house.
“Nonononononono, I need to figure out why one would come here. Think think think..” Twilight had seemed to trail off into madness.
“Fluttershy, keep away from it! You don’t know what it’ll do to you!” Yelled Twilight as she slammed the door of the house on Fluttershy, effectively blocking her out.
Fluttershy just sat there, stunned. Either Twilight was having a nervous brake down or something was VERY wrong with that wolf that was in her bed, which was in her house, filled with tiny woodland creatures.
Thinking about what it might do to the many small bit size meals, she got up and rushed off to her cottage.
You slowly rolled over in your bed, thinking to yourself about what just happened. You yawned and rolled your neck, a snapping sound was emitted from the motion. The sound awoke you fully. You looked around and your eyes were met with an odd sight. Fluttershy’s cottage.
Okay, you weren’t dreaming, either that or you are still dreaming.
Thinking and weighting your options, you decided to pull your lazy caucus out of the bed. First and foremost, you need a drink.
Landing on your paws with a light thud, you looked back at the bed. It was small, smaller than what you would normally sleep in.But then again, you were a wolf.
Trying to rethink about where the nearest water source would be, you remembered that there was a small stream in front of the cottage. And from the looks of it in the show, it was clean and cool. And that was just what you needed. The feeling of icy water running down you throat.
You look to both your left and right, you see few small animals running about, but fewer still in cages.
Looking down into the water, you finally get a look at yourself, your eyes were a deathly blue, but only a certain angles, they looked red! Your fur was a deep grey, with a bright, clean, shiny coat of white under your belly and chest. And you were indeed a Wolf, but from the looks of it you were VERY big, you needed to duck under the door way, and if what you read was true, at least to some extent, you were about five feet all, at least from paw to shoulder.
You lowered you head, without the slightest idea how to drink as a dog. Well if Jinks can do it, so can you!
You lowered the bottom half of your jaw into the water and let the cool liquid run down you throat. Somehow this worked, and after about thirty solid seconds of drinking, you pulled your head back you with your eyes closed, this moment, it was pure Requiem, perfect.
Fluttershy walked down that path to her cottage at an odd pace, a halfway point between a full sprint and a light jog. The same thing kept running through her head, what would happen if it gets up? Too bad she got her answer before she wanted a real one.
There, standing like a proud noble, the Dire Wolf. It’s jaws were wet, it’s head up high, and a smile pulled across it’s face, it’s deadly fangs bearing.
Fluttershy steeled herself and walked up to the beast.
“Um h-h-h-hello??”
You moment was ruined by the soft voice of your capture, or was it savior? Either way, you looked down, and there, cowering like a foal, stood Fluttershy.
“Okay, if I get this right, I’ll end up in a easy going life in the forest, if I mess up, I’ll face her Wrath. No pressure.”
You once again tried to speak, the words came out in an odd, broken format. Like you were still missing parts of your vocal cords.
“Hello, I would like to thank you for saving me.” came out more like “Greh, I ould, venk ou or aving ee”
The ‘words’ that the Wolf had just emitted sounded more like a deathly threat. But even still she had made out a message, hopefully the right one.
“Oh, um you’re welcome. I-I’m Flut-ters-hy, um, what’s your name?” Asked Fluttershy as she took a few well thought out steps forward. Carefully keeping the massive wolf away from her but not too far.
The wolf shock it’s head as if it were replying. Rather than asking for another reply, she took it as one.
“Oh, no name?” Once again it shock it’s head barked lightly.
“Oh, well, um. Can you talk?” The wolf opened his mouth, as if trying to speak. However, it merely closed it back up and shock it’s head.
“No? Well, um can you understand me?” She asked, what she got back was a deadpan stare. “Oh, silly question, well. Um, could please let me pass?” She asked as she took a few more steps closer, this time without the fear of being eaten, even though the wolf didn’t say anything about not wanting to eat her, but given that it didn’t attacked her out right, it was safe to assume it wouldn’t.
As Fluttershy asked her question, you began to think of ways this could go wrong. But, you wiped the thoughts away as you tried to take a few steps to the side. This ‘worked’, you didn’t fall nor charge with full force. Rather you merely tripped and stumbled lightly.
Once Fluttershy saw that you let her pass she asked another question.
“Um, are, y-you going to-to-to attack me?” She asked, if you weren’t so weirded out for the whole thing, you might have started crying from how sad she look when she was truly scared.
Thinking quickly, you shook your head. This seemed to make her calm down, but it didn’t make you fell any better. Due to it being mixed lie.
Swallowing deeply she trotted past the massive wolf, it’s breath smelling of burnt wood and raw flesh. Somehow, it wasn’t unnerving, rather settling. Knowing that this creature, it had some intelligence, rather than the ones who lived in the rest of the Everfree. The Timber Wolves.
Knowing that it did eat meat but it restrained it’s self made Fluttershy feel safe, yet on edge. After all, how could a Tiny Herd Animal feel truly safe around a Massive Pack Hunter.
