A "Happy" War to Wage

WOMP

"Ah, our first loss in this hell hole, am I right?" I said, walking back to the town with the others.

"Mmhmm" The group replied, tired and exhausted. I couldn't stop thinking about how the princess probably knew that the towers give us life. Anyway, everyone went home, some people went on a guard tower and protected the wall during the night. I couldn't sleep, I kept getting this weird feeling in my stomach and my back had this stabbing pain in it. I tried to shake it off, but I couldn't, so I decided to take a walk. I slowly got up from my bed and went to the bathroom, I realized when I looked in the mirror, my left eye was a hazel color, rather than my normal brown. I felt two bumps on my back, I assumed it was just from a burn or fall, I waved it off. I stepped out of the bathroom, I put on my robe and walked outside. I didn't have a weapon, so I snuck into Klums home (I knew where he hid his key ). I tip toed upstairs and grabbed his dagger, I put it inside a pocket on my robe and left. I was wide awake now, I stretched a little and decided to finally go inside that cottage, just up the hill.

I walked outside of the gate and put my hood on. I felt my back get that same pain, I reached behind my robe and what I felt was like a small feather? I ran to the small cottage to check a mirror, I opened the door and stopped. There were a variety of dead animals inside, it smelled like shit in there. I saw cobwebs, skeletons and feces, I covered my mouth and nose with my hand and stepped inside. I looked for the bathroom, I saw a little white bunny with a note in its paw. I picked it up and blew off the dust, it wrote. "Fluttershy, WhERe are yoo?" , I gasped and dropped the note.This is Fluttershy's cottage? Her animals are dead?!, I felt sorry for these animals. I continued to walk through the abandoned place, I found the bathroom. It was dirtier than any other place in this home, I had to go through a whole jungle of cobwebs. The sink and bathtub was the worst though, I couldn't even explain what the hell was in there. The mirror was a little rusted, but in the non rusted places, it was a good mirror. I lifted my robe up, and turned around to look at my back, I choked and fell over at what I saw. Through the dim light, there were two little wings coming out of my back.

"We ask that you assist us in defeating this force" Celestia finished her speech, she was currently inside of the Gryphon castle. The Gryphon King, Montbrayus, considered helping Celestia in her struggles.

"What shall the gryphons gain from this?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.

"You shall gain our trust, and you will be safe from these creatures as well, from what I know, they are trying to conquer all of the lands" Celestia said, Montbrayus nodded and got up from his throne. He approached Celestia and shook her hoof with his talon.

"Celestia, you and your ponies shall fight with support of the gryhon kingdom! May victory be with us then, princess." He said.

"Thank you very much, Montbrayus, I appreciate you help" Celestia said. He nodded and left the room, his guards followed and Celestia left as well. Luna followed her sister and got inside of the carriage, the gryphons would fight with them. They would send an army to support, and battle alongside the ponies.

"What... the.... fuck" I said, slowly feeling my back again. I gulped and rubbed my wings a little, I tried to make them move, but I doubted that I could fly, due to them being so tiny. I thought about the good things about this, alright, this could be good, when they grow I would fly and stuff. That would definitely help in battle, and for travel. Not to mention I always wanted to fly. But how the hell is this happening? A disease, random growth, curse? Spell? , my mind didn't know what to think of this. I decided to explore this cottage some more, still wanting to throw up after all of the things I was seeing. I headed upstairs into her room, I slowly walked inside. I saw a big book on her bed, I walked over to it and picked it up, I saw a picture of her and her friends on the first page. This was a picture book, I kept turning pages, many of them were of her and her animals doing fun things together. Even feeding them was supposedly a great experience for her and the critters, I saw small faded spats on each page, as if she was crying the last time she looked at this. She knew she would have to leave her animals behind, and at such a quick and unexpected notice, she would've never had the time to get them out of here. Damn, I feel like such a dick for this shit. It's not my fault though, the least I could do is feel bad for her.

I closed the book and had that pain again, who knew growing wings would be this painful? Probably no one, I stepped outside of the cottage and took off my robe. I bright moonlight was emitting enough light for me to see the wings better. They were a light brown, there was a bit of bruising and blood at the base of them, probably from them just coming straight out of my back. They were sore a little, and when I tried to concentrate on flapping them, it hurt even more. I walked back to the town, slowly went back home and laid down on my stomach on my bed. This was why my back hurt so much earlier, I was laying on my wings. I closed my eyes and went to sleep, leaving my wings to grow as they wanted to.

"So sister, what shall we do now?" Luna asked.

"We request assistance from the minotaurs" Celestia replied.

"Sister, don't you think asking for so much help would portray us as weak?"

"Luna, these creatures are endangering not only us, but all of Equestria, this is everyponies' problem" Celestia put a wing over he sister and reassured her. Luna smiled and looked out of the window of the carriage.

"Sister, do you think the creatures' story was true?" Celestia raised an eyebrow, "When you told me about the creature's outburst, you said that it told you that one of the elements attacked it first, do you think it was telling the truth?" Celestia sighed and thought for a moment.

"Well, it seemed to have been holding that outburst in for a long while, it was crying too. Maybe there was a chance that it could've been lying or telling the truth, but that won't stop this war"

"This whole thing could've been different then..."
