Chapter 2

So now you know how I got in this mess, walking around in a forest, with the fear that every moment I would be found by a powerful magic user and princess. Okay, I doubt that she would go after me right now, seeing that she doesn't know if I have any magic powers, and due to the fact that she has no idea where I am in the forest. Because even I don't know where I am right now. I'm completely lost. But I don't care, I'm just trying to get away from that cursed town. I've been here not even a day, and I already fucking hate it here. The place is to colorful, and the inhabitants are just big pussies who are even afraid of their own shadow.

''Or,'' I started to say to myself ''they are unreasonable and racists. I just walked into the goddamn town. I did nothing wrong. BUT NO, lets attack the weird looking guy and hey, even thought the first time was self defense, lets act if he started it all! I swear, if I had any power, I would bring this world to its knees and teach those ponies a lesson,''

I stopped as I thought about that last thing I said. I mean, why wouldn't I try to take over? If all ponies were like this (and I was pretty sure they were) then they deserved a lesson. But at the same time: why would I try to take over? If I can find a way home, I would probably take it. But seeing that I threatened to kill a pony, I don't think I can count on the princesses to send me back, nor at the main six. So it seems that I'm stuck here until I find a way back on my own. Fuck

''So I'm probably stuck here for a long time, while the princesses and the bearers are looking for me. Not a very good situation,'' I said as I started walking again. ''So that gives me a few options: staying forever in these woods, get power to take over this world and teach them all a lesson, or get enough power and some kind of spell to send me back. Number one will not happen, I mean, I have no desire to stay hidden in the woods forever. And then for option number three, I don't even know if it's possible to cross worlds with the magic they have here. For all I know, its impossible. So that leaves me with one choice: taking over this world,'' I said as I walked the forest

And thinking about this also makes me wonder: how in all that's good on both worlds would I be able to take over this world?

But that was the least of my concerns, as I was probably an enemy of the state. The least I need is something to defend myself against the princesses and the government, because otherwise they were probably going to trow me into jail if they ever found me.

So I need power.

I need magic.

I need an army.

I needed my teddy bear.

As I was walking and thinking about this situation, I remembered something from the show. A episode Kelvin kinda forced me too see. It was a very vague episode, about some blue unicorn named..... what was it? Blixie? Dixie? Ugh, I don't know how she was called, but she wanted revenge on Twilight for something weird as hell, so she used an amulet. The allicorn amulet. It was basically a very powerful amulet, making the wearer a master of magic. But it also made the wearer corrupt, according to the show (talk about a lord of the rings ripoff)

''If I can get my hands on that amulet, it would make me very strong. But it would be a temporarily solution, because the amulet corrupts. Actually, now that I think about it, when I find the amulet, I need to make sure that it doesn't corrupt me. No idea how I'm gonna do that, but I'll find a way. Now think Youri, how are you gonna get the amulet.'' I remembered that a zebra took the amulet. Zecora was her name and she lived in the Everfree forest. So if anybody knew where the amulet was, it would be her. But how am I going to convince her to tell me where the amulet is. I remembered that she lived in the same forest I was in right now. The best place to look would be at the edge of the forest, I guess. Otherwise it would take to long to get out of the forest if she needed help or something.  So I started to turn around and walk at the edge of the forest

''Where is her goddamn house?!'' I said as I looked around. Two hours has passed since I started looking for her house, and I haven't even found a clue where it could be. I started to become frustrated when I heard a scream. I ran to the sound of the scream, to see a pony cornered by wolves.

''Please, help me!'' he yelled out to me. What do I need to do? Should I save him? Why should I save him? He's probably just like the rest of the ponies. I turned around and decided to walk away.

''Please don't leave me here! HELP ME!!'' he yelled after me. Ugh, I'm way to nice for this world

I picked up a stick from the ground and ran to the wolves who were facing the pony. Before they turned around, I smashed the thick stick into the head of one of the wolves. To my surprise, it fell into a hundred pieces of wood.

These wolves are made of wood. Are you fucking serious?

I quickly smashed the head of another wolf, before the wolfs started to attack me. I waved the stick around and hit a lot of the wolves. Now let me tell you, I know nothing about using a sword. I just swung the stick to the right and left, hoping to hit the wolves, which it did. That would be another point to look for: someone who could teach me how to use a sword. Then from behind, one of the wolves bit in my arm holding the stick

''AU, SON OF A BITCH!!!!'' I yelled as I hit him with my free hand. ''LET GO, YOU ABOMINATION OF NATURE'' I yelled as I kept hitting him. But of course, he keeps hanging in my shoulder, the asshole.  I turn around with the wolf on my arm, and smack the wolf biting my arm, into a wolf running to me. Both wolves were reduced to little wooden sticks.

I turn around to see a wolf jumping to bite me in the face. I quickly grab his throat before looking him into his green emotionless eyes before saying: ''hasta la vista'' and trowing him with his head on the ground. He also was reduced to little sticks. Yes, I know: I'm a badass

I turned to the pony who looked at me, too see a look that holds a mix between fear and being grateful.

''There, you're safe. Now you can go away and live your simple petty pony life again.'' I said as I walked away. But before I got anywhere, he called for me

''Wait, I still need to thank you,'' he said as he walked up to me ''If you need anything, anything, I get it for you. Its the least I can do.'' Now curiosity had me.

''What can you offer me then, pony?'' I asked him with my best evil voice. I saw that he started to look a little scared, but he still wanted to repay me for some reason. Man, ponies are weird.

''Well, I'm a salespony of uncommon and magic items. Anything you need that is associated with magic, I can get it for you.'' He proudly spoke. And now I remembered him. He was the pony that sold Blixie the allicorn amulet. This is great. He can give, or direct me, to the allicorn amulet, or give me another artifact of great magic.  But I know that I have to be careful here. If I started about the amulet right away, he would become suspicious, and I would lose my chance of getting the amulet.

''Now that I think about it, there is something I could use.'' I said to him as I turned to him ''Do you have something that lets non-unicorns use magic? You see, it is a dream for me to use magic, but I never had enough money to learn how to use magic. For all I know, I can't even use magic on my own. Could you... I don't know, look with some spell if I could use magic?'' My god, this was the biggest lie I've ever told

''Well, there is a spell so that I can look if you can use magic. I can use it on you, if you're fine with it,'' the salespony said

''Go right ahead.'' I said as I stood still. His horn began to produce light, and soon my body was the same color as the light from his horn. It took a few seconds before his horn stopped pouring light.

''And, can I use magic?'' I asked hopeful

''Yes and no.''

''Oh, yeah, I can use... wait, yes AND no? What do you mean?'' I asked him

''Well, your special because you can use magic when you have an artifact or something like that. But otherwise, you can't use magic,''

''Why is that special? Can't just anybody with a artifact use magic?'' I asked the salespony as I was waving my hands around.

''No, not everypony can do that,'' He said annoyed ''actually its very rare for a creature to be able to use magic without a horn. The artifacts that increase magical ability only works on unicorns. Well, normally it does. But apparently you are able to use your inner magic when you have certain artifacts.''

''Really? What artifacts?''

''Well,'' the pony started ''there are a few artifacts that have that power. One is the crystal heart in the crystal empire,''

Okay the crystal empire. I have no idea where that place is, and coming there would not be easy without drawing attention to me

''And the other artifacts?''

''Well, there are a few artifacts, but the most renown is the allicorn amulet'' he stated

''The allicorn amulet?'' I said while pretending not to know what it is ''What's that?''

''I'm not allowed to speak about that.'' he said nervous.

''Oh come on, There is nobody here.'' I pointed out. He sighed before speaking again

''Alright, but don't tell anybody else this.'' My god, these ponies are stupid. Is he seriously going to tell me about this while he is not allowed to? And only because I saved his life?

''Its called the allicorn amulet. It gives the wearer an enormous amount of magical power. But its power comes with a large price: everypony wearing the amulet will become corrupt. In fact, the princess found that the amulet was so dangerous, that they hidden it.'' alright, until now he only spoke about things I already KNEW about the amulet (except that the princesses hid the amulet) so tell me where the amulet is.

''Do you know where the amulet is?'' I asked him

''I have no idea. It could be everywhere. But if you don't mind, its starting to become dark and I really need to get out of this forest.'' he said while walking away ''If you ever need my help, just search for my stand in Manehattan.'' he said before disappearing out of my sight.

''Well that was a waste of time. And now its starting to become dark.'' I said as I started walking again. I needed a place to stay for the night. Maybe a cave or something. The hell, I would even be happy with a hole in the ground. While walking the forest, I noticed that lesser and lesser light came in. After a few minutes, it was completely dark outside. I knew that I had to find shelter fast, or else more of those wooden wolves could attack.

I searched some more, before coming in a open field. I can describe this place only by one word: creepy. You couldn't even see the ground, because thin layers of some kind of smoke were floating a few centimeters above the ground. The soft moonlight shined down, to give the place a kind of scary vibe. I noticed a rope bridge at the end of the clearing. The whole scenery was with one word spooky. And I loved it.

I started walking to the makeshift bridge. A bridge meant that there had to be people (or ponies...ugh) at the other side. As I came close to the bridge, I saw that I had to be careful. It looked like it could break any moment. I started walking on the bridge while saying my last thoughts to god.

''...and I'm sorry for that one time I stepped on a ladybug, but please lord, don't let the bridge break!'' I said as I was walking. After a few seconds, when I opened my eyes again (yes I had them closed because....light was shining in my eyes, yeah that's a good explanation) to see that I was already on the other side of the bridge. I then noticed the large building in front of me.

It was dark, so I couldn't make out details of the building. I did saw however, that it looked like that it probably was a castle a few hundred years ago. It was one large building, were certain rooms and walls were gone. From were I stood, I could see that some ceilings were also gone.

''This might be a good place to stay for the night,'' I said to myself. I walked up to the door and started pulling at the door. No movement. I tried again. Still no movement

''Oh come on, you stupid door!'' I said as I pulled again. I then thought of something ''Please don't let that be the case.'' I said as I started pressing against the door. With one smooth movement, the door opened.

''Goddammit,'' I said as I entered the castle. It was already very late, so I decided that I would just find a chamber with some carpet in it and to sleep on that. Lucky for me, such chamber was right next to the entrance hall of the castle. I lay down on the carpet, and fell asleep
