I had been chopping wood all day, and was getting tired. So I had decided to go back to my new home. As soon as I got there, I put the axe up, stacked the wood, and sat down and started sharpening my machete. It was valuable to me now. I often found large predators in the woods here. Most of which were mythological.

Because of their large size, I had to outrun them, which I couldn’t, or outsmart them, which was too easy. If I was close enough to one of my traps, I simply ran toward it and at the last second sidestepped. After of which they would fall into it. If I wasn’t close to it, I got out my machete and fought the beasts.

After a bit, I heard my bell ring. I went to go check on my traps. Inside one was a rabbit. I was going to let it free, but I was curious to what rabbit tasted like. I slit its neck and let it hang on a branch to have it bleed out, and went to resetting the trap. By the time I was done, the rabbit had bled out. I picked it up and went home.

As soon as I got there, I set to making dinner. I decided to use the rabbit I had caught. I skinned it and gutted it. Then I took the muscle and other edible parts and put them into a stew. Afterwords I went and got some nearby things that I could put in it. I had found a wild carrot patch as well as these weird trees that had grown rainbow apples last week. I had picked what I could but at the end of the week the apples that I hadn’t picked disappeared.

I had found out that rainbow apples were delicious. But I had only one this time. Besides, when was it going to happen again? A month? A year? But I had figure I could use one in my stew. So I chopped it up and put it inside the stew, along with some carrots. I let it set and had it cook. After which I decided to take a nap.

Twilight

I had watched as the human slit the neck of the rabbit and let it bleed out. But after he set it to hang, he had reset the trap. This meant that he was intelligent, and I had to get to max. I tapped Rainbow’s shoulder and motioned for us to go. After we got back to the ruins I undid the spells I had casted on us. “Hey, rainbow dash, can you go tell the girls to meet up here? I’m going to go get max.”

“Sure thing.”

A few minutes later, we all met up and told them what myself and Rainbow dash had found. I suggested observing it for a while. Pinkie pie was excited as usual. She had a bunch of questions, and I could only catch half of them, or less. All of which were along the lines of “Does he like cupcakes?” or “Does he look scary?” or something useless like that. After I got tired of hearing her talk without either having answers or not having the time to answer, I just stuck my hoof in the hole of endless questions.

I felt a slimy appendage lick the bottom. “Really, you have to lick my hoof when I just finished a hike into the forest? Who knows what is on it? Some of the dirt could be bugs that if swallowed could get you sick or something.”

*One question*

“Yes, max?”

*Is it male or female?*

“Male, why?”

*Just curious*

I awoke to the smell of food ready. I Smothered the fire and then removed the glass a few minutes later. It was enough to serve me for the week. As I ate, I heard noises outside. I decided to peek outside the door. I saw a person! Finally! But as he stepped out of behind the tree, I saw it was naked, and sniffing the air for food. I closed the door and locked it, I was not sharing, AT ALL! I sat down and continued to eat until I was full. Then I placed the glass over the cauldron and went to bed.

Max

Twilight, the rest of the girls, and I watched outside his hut. We waited a few minutes, before I smelt something that seemed familiar. It was close to a stew, but could be easily mistaken for pot roast or roasted turkey. The hut itself seemed to be put together with sticks and a silvery grey material, but no metal, glass, or modern human tech. Except for the silver grey stuff. He had seen it before, but couldn’t recall the name.

As I opened the door, I saw someone facing away from me getting whatever it was out of the cauldron. When he turned around, he had tried to shoo me away. I tried to show intelligence, but he hadn’t noticed, so I flicked him the bird and shoved the door on his face and walked away. Then twilight poked her head outside of some bushes. “Did you get him to have a conversation?”

*no*

“so he isn’t intelligent, just a regular human?”

*just wait, 3, 2, 1-*

“I don’t have time to-“ The door to the hut flew open as twilight was talking. He came out with a machete. He tried to come at me, but I sidestepped, hit him in the center of the back, and pushed him into some bushes with my foot. He soon after got up and charged after me again, and I sidestepped again. But he then tossed the machete as if it were some kind of ninja star. It cut my “saddlebag” (honestly I could never stand it.) and lodged itself on the side of the tree. I flashed a quick smile and grabbed it off the tree.
