My Little Pony: The Silvermane

Celestia's sun slowly began its ascent into the sky, just as Luna's moon made it's descent, bringing the morning light over the land of Equestria.  In Ponyville, the first ponies to rise were usually the Apple family, getting up and sorting out the farm for the day, Mr and Mrs Cake, the local bakers and this morning a certain Lavender Alicorn and her Dragon assistant. Both Spike and Twilight had not moved from their seat's on the floor from the previous night, neither daring to go to sleep, or even move, lest whatever had been growling and striking  at the locked basement door all through the night with animal like rage got out.

The noises behind the sealed and warded basement door had been silent for a good few hours at this point, and Twilight finally got up the courage to stand up and walk over to the door and press one of her ears against it. The young Alicorn looked dreadful, with a mix of fear and lack of sleep taking its toll on her, giving Twilight a frazzled appearance.

Spike stayed in his seat, shakily reaching a clawed hand out to Twilight, trying to motion his friend back rapidly to her seat and away from a door which he expected to cave in at any moment. The lavender colored mare stayed silent for several moments, the only sound through out the entire library was the soft tick-tock of the clock above the front door, which showed the time had just turned 6:30 in the morning.

Twilight took a deep breath, before turning back to the young, scared dragon and nodded, before moving her hand nervously to the door handle, grasping it and...

Loud frantic banging on the front door made Twilight more or less jump out of her fur in fright, letting the door knob go as she moved her back against the basement door, staring at the front door, trying to catch her breath. Spike's reaction to the sudden knocking was less inspiring, as he let out a girlish scream and dived into the kitchen like a rocket from his seat.

The air was filled with clattering and crashes from the kitchen, which was finally silenced when Spike, now tussled up in make shift armour made out of pan lids and plates,  slowly shuffled his way out of the kitchen a large pot on his head as a helmet and a ladle as a weapon. The hilariously dressed baby dragon made his way to the front door, ladle raised as he opened it...

The sight before Spike made him let out a sigh of relief, before a wide grin took to his features, showing of the dragon's sharp, gem chomping teeth, "Princesses!" He let out a thankful cry, throwing the door open wide, showing the equally happy looking Twilight who stood outside.

The first of the princesses stood at an impressive 6'5", her fur a brilliant and unblemished white in color, a large white horn stood proud upon her forehead and a set of the same colored wings sat upon her back, folded away. Her mane and tail both flowing as though caught in an otherworldly breeze, both of which had the colors pink, green and blue flowing in equal measure through them.

Princess Celestia's purple colored eyes looked down first at Spike, a small giggle pushing passed her sweet, motherly smile, before turning and looking at Twilight Sparkle, her student and friend.

"Twilight, I got your message when I awoke this morning and came with my sister as fast as we could, are you all ok?" The white Alicorn asked as she made her way passed Spike, who was blushing at the Princess's giggles and took off his makeshift helmet, before the princess of the sun placed a comforting hand on Twilight's shoulder. "The creature you summoned... Is it still here?" Celestia asked, her eyes hard as she asked, with concern in her voice.

"Sister, I still do not see why you would bring me along?" Came a loud, feminine voice from outside the door.

Princess Luna stepped into the main room of the library, following her sister. The princess of the night stood slightly shorter then her big sister, standing at 6'3", her fur dark blue, with her wings and horn matching it. Her eyes were also blue in color, while her hair and tail flowed in a similar way to her sister's, although her's was like the night sky, black with tiny little lights in it, glowing softly like stars.

"If a werepony has been summoned, then all that is needed is to use the elements of harmony on it and banish it back to Tartarus." The princess of the night said, taking up position beside Celestia, her eye's moving to look at said sister.

Twilight chose this moment to speak up, looking up at both the mares before her, "But... He isn't a werepony... At least, not like we know... He was hairless almost, with no tail or hooves..." She turned back to look at the basement door and bit her bottom lip, "And to answer your question Princess Celestia... He is locked in my basement..."

Both princesses turned towards the door and nodded, with Luna walking towards it cautiously as Celestia smiled softly to Twilight, "I need you to go get the other element bearers... And bring them back here as fast as you can... Can you do this for me Twilight?" The solar princess asked in a warm, comforting tone.

Twilight's own smile grew wide at the mentors words and nodded, rushing over to spike, who by now had removed his 'emergency armour', and took him by the arm, dragging the young drake with her as she set off to find her friends.

When they were alone, Celestia's smile immediately dropped, her features taking on a much colder and more focused look, before turning to her younger sister, who's own features had taken on a similar look.

"We should deal with this before Twilight and her friends return... I will not risk any of my little ponies being hurt by this beast..." She nodded to Luna who was stood by the door and started over to it herself.

Luna sighed and shook her head, "I know you sent her away so she would not have to see us do something of this nature... But she must learn someday that life is not always about 'friendship' and 'happiness'... She must see that a princess must sometimes do such things to secure the safety of her subjects..."

Celestia knew her sister spoke the truth, but at the same time did not wish to admit it... The idea of her student, Twilight Sparkle, having to kill another creature, even to protect Equestria, was something she never wanted to see happen.

So the two princesses stood before the basement door, both ready to do what had to be done... Celestia's horn lit up and a faint click was heard as the door's lock was flipped open, a faint hissing following as the protection spell followed. Once the door was unlocked, Luna took hold of the door knob and slowly twisted it, opening the door carefully...

Inside was still pitch black, as Twilight had never bothered to put a window in the basement, saying that she didn't want any pony looking in on her as she worked on some experiment or other. Seeing the darkness, Luna's horn lit up and a small sphere of light glowed at the tip of her horn, before flying off into the basement lazily, slowly revealing the room. Inside was a complete mess, with pieces of Twilight's research machines and other materials were scattered, torn or completely destroyed. Several books lay in piles with their shattered bookcases around them.

"It looks like beast was right... I fear to think what would of happened if young Sparkle had not put that ward on the door... What do you think Tia?" Luna said, but when she heard no response she turned to look at her sister who stood beside her, "Tia...?"

Celestia's eye's were locked on the insides of the basement door, her mouth slightly open as she stared at the many deep claw marks that adored the wood. She moved her left hand shakily to the wooden door's scarred side, running her palm over the damage slowly, feeling how deep the damage was, "This is no werepony Luna... This is something much, much worse..."

Before Luna could question her sister's words a low snoring was heard, silencing both princesses, causing both to spin round, their horns glowing as they readied powerful offensive spells to deal with the beast... Instead they saw a hairless foot sticking out from under a pile of books, the toes lightly curling as the snoring continued.

Celestia raised an eyebrow at this and turned to her sister, who seemed to share her confused look. With a nod, the solar princess made her way down the stairs cautiously, her horn still glowing as she did so, Luna staying at the top of the stairs, ready to help if need be. Celestia soon made her way over to the book pile and, using some levitation magic, lifted the books off the pile one by one, until the sight of a very naked, sleeping male met her sight.

Paul was fast asleep, his clothes in tatters around the room, leaving him in the buff, showing off his nearly hairless form to the princess. He was lay on his front, his ass on full show, which was lazily scratched as he slept, making the Princess behind him roll her eyes, turning to her sister Luna who was trying not to laugh.

"This is the beast Twilight summoned? This is what did all this?" Celestia asked in an annoyed tone, not sure if Twilight and her friends were trying to play a prank on her, or if her student had just been having one of her infamous 'breakdowns'.

Luna let out a small giggle as she observed the sleeping male and made her way down the stairs, "I believe your student has got it wrong this time sister... I mean, this male is obviously incapable of this level of damage..." The princess of the moon looked around the carnage of the basement and sighed, "He is obviously just a monkey she summoned by..."

Luna was cut of by a low growl coming from the man, who slowly pushed himself up and onto his knee's, his eyes half open, showing a pair of... feral crimson eyes, which slowly died down to their normal blue appearance as he blinked, staring up at the two giant mare's, a frown on his face.

"Who the fuck you calling a monkey, Moon-butt?" He growled, his eyes slowly roaming over each mare, noticing a moon shaped mark on Luna's rear and a sun shaped one on Celestia's, "And where the hell am I... Last thing I remember was trying to throttle that lavender bi..."

Paul was stopped mid sentence as his form was encased in a golden glow and slammed into the nearest wall, making the man groan out as his body protested to the pain. Celestia stomped over to him and glared at the man, locking eyes with him, showing him her coldest stare as she spoke.

"You will choose your next words very carefully creature... I will NOT tolerate anypony speaking ill of or threatening my subjects, especially my prize student!" She shouted at Paul, her anger oozing out with each word.

Luna flinched alittle at her sister's sudden actions, moving beside her and placing a hand on Celestia's shoulder, not looking at the restrained man as she spoke, "Maybe we should ask this creature 'why' he would threaten such a thing... Surely there must be a reason?"

Celestia finally broke eye contact with Paul before looking down at her sister in silence for a few moments before taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly. With that done the princess of the sun let the man down onto the floor, her magic letting him go. "You have five minutes... Why do you wish harm to princess Twilight Sparkle?"

Paul slumped against the wall as he was released, sliding down to sit on the floor, his body aching all over, and the starts of hunger pains began to hit him.

"Because that bitch more or less kidnapped me to be her lab rat... Stole me from my home... Friends, family..." He winched as he moved his right hand to rub his neck, "I don't know if I will see them again... So yeah... I am not just angry..."

The man slowly got to his feet, his bones creaking and cracking slightly from the sudden motion, before walking over to Celestia, standing before the solar mare, who raised her eyebrow his actions. He slowly looked up at her and barred his teeth at her, showing his slightly larger then normal canines, which were still more like fangs then regular teeth.

"I. Am. Livid..." He hissed at her, his eyes blazing as he stared up at Celestia.

The mare of the sun found herself taking a step back unconsciously, a look of fear momentarily flickering in her eyes, as some part of her brain, the long ago forgotten prey part of her mind alerted her to the dangers of the predator before her...

Luna took a step forward as he sister stepped back, blocking off the man from Celestia, she gave the man her own glare, "I understand... You are upset by what has been done to you, I too was once placed somewhere far from my home..." She said sadly before continuing "Getting angry however and threatening ponies is not how you fix things." Her features softened as a small smile graced her lips, "I promise, I will do all in my power to get you home, as will my sister... So please, be calm..."

Paul flinched back slightly, as though struck, not expecting such gentle words from any of these 'ponies'. He eyed Luna up and down, not sure if he could trust her, "Fine... But I want names first... I know like, three people here..."

Celestia, who had got over her momentary daze, interrupted him mid sentence, "The proper term is ponies... like, 'anypony' or 'everypony'" And while she was still on guard around the creature, she too moved to the man, her horn no longer glowing.

Paul gave both of them a deadpan look before covering his face with his palm, "Ok... I am too tired, hungry and naked for this shit..." He sighed and shook his head, "Fine, I know like three 'ponies', and of those three, one is probably terrified of me, one kicked me in the face and the last one kidnapped me... So yeah... Not the best introductions so far..."

Celestia and Luna both looked at each other as the male mentioned being nude, not sure what the problem was, as even the two princesses only wore their gold crowns, necklaces and horse shoes, and nothing else. Luna was the first to mention something out of place on this strange 'stallion'.

"Why do you not have a sheath? And why is it so small?" Luna asked bluntly, her eyes gazing down at the 6' tall male, who was at this point blushing up a storm and covering his groin with his hands, blocking his package from view.

"It... It's not small! It's average sized from where I come from thank you very bloody much! And what kind of question is that to ask?! I don't have a sheath because I am not a freakin' animal!" He growled, not feeling comfortable with the stares the two mare's were now giving him, both princesses having a look of curiosity on their faces.

  Celestia was the first of the two to speak next, her eyes quickly darting back up to the man's irritated features, "I apologize for my sisters... Blunt... Question, so I will answer your question. I am princess Celestia, co-ruler of Equestria and princess of the sun."

Luna, not even bothering to look up from where Paul was covering his crotch spoke next, "And I am princess Luna, co-ruler of Equestria and princess of the moon..."

Paul just opened his mouth a few times and closed it, not sure how to take this all in. Not only were two princesses of these ponies before him, but the shorter one was being blunt as hell about his junk. "Hey, enough staring at my equipment! My eyes are up here!" He clicked his fingers near Luna's face, making her eyes shoot up to meet his.

Celestia sighed and shook her head, before smiling lightly and let out a small giggle, "I apologize, we are just a bit curious I guess... But now then, who... Are you?" She asked, pointing a perfect white furred finger at Paul.

The man raised an eyebrow before shrugging and looking at Celestia with a small smile, "My names Paul... Paul Silvermane... And I am a werewolf..." He said casually, closing his eyes as he waited for the sounds of shocked gasps or screams to fill the air... Or even the sensation of another blunt object bouncing off his head.

After several seconds of complete silence, Paul opened one eye slowly, seeing not shocked expressions on the two princesses faces, but instead serious looks and questioning eyes on him.

Luna spoke first, taking a step away from him and tilting her head to the side, "A 'werewolf'? What is that? Is it like a werepony?" She asked, turning to her sister, who nodded as well.

"Yes, explain what you are... For while we have..." The solar princess stopped and cleared her throat, looking away, "... Had, something that sounds similar, it may be best for you to explain..."

Paul took a deep breath before starting, "Ok... But I gotta warn you... This could take awhile, since I only know how my family got this curse, so I am not too sure if there are other ways or not." He shrugged and looked up the stars to the library and smiled slightly, "Um... Mind if we head upstairs first, I kinda need to find something to cover myself with... And I need the bathroom..."

Both princesses looked at one another, before nodding, Celestia waving the man passed them and up the stairs, which he quickly darted up, with both monarchs following close behind him. Upstairs Paul stopped in the center of the room and gave a good stretch, letting several bones crack.

"Ok... So first things first... Bathroom?" He asked, turning to see both Luna and Celestia just arrive, closing the basement door behind them.

Celestia shook her head, a smile still on her lips and pointed up the stairs, "First door on the left... Be quick, as I expect Twilight and her friends to be here soon, and they will have to be filled in also."

Paul nodded and started over to the stairs at the side of the room, slowly walking up them and out of sight, followed a few seconds later by the sound of a door opening and then closing with a loud click.

Luna sighed and ran a hand through her ethereal hair, looking at her sister with a frown, "So he is more then he seems sister...  I trust you are in agreement to keeping an eye on him?" She asked with a raised eyebrow, noticing Celestia had a troubled look on her face.

"I agree that he must be watched, but I also agree with what you said about getting him back earlier... I came here thinking we would be dealing with some foul beast of tartarus, brought here by Twilight and was ready to kill and destroy..." princess Celestia took a moment to close her eyes and sighed deeply, "But it seems he is just like any other stallion... Cursed yes, but I see that he may just be misunderstood..."

Suddenly the front door to the library burst open as Twilight, and the rest of the mane 6 ran in, each in different levels of being awake, with Twilight, Applejack and Pinkie Pie seeming the most alert and bright eyed, while Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Rarity all looked about ready to fall back to sleep...

"I got the girls Princess! What now? Are we going to..." Twilight began to say before she was silenced by Pinkie Pie suddenly popping up right infront of the two princesses.

"Oooo! Can I see him?! Is he friendly? I wonder what kind of party I should throw?!" The pink party mare bounced up and down on the spot, a huge grin gracing her face, "Maybe a 'Welcome to Ponyville, sorry you were dragged here against your will' party? Oh! No, maybe a 'Sorry my friend beat you up and our other friend knocked you out with a book' party?"

Twilight and the others all just stared at the party mare, unsure what to say for a few moments before Spike pushed his way into the library passed the mares, raising an eyebrow at Pinkie.

"When did you even find all that out? I guess you could hear about Applejack bucking him in the face from her... But about me throwing the book...?" Spike froze as he heard footsteps on the stairs, making him spin round and look up...

Paul was stood on the top step, a white towel wrapped around his waist, covering his modesty as he glared daggers at the young dragon, pointing a finger at him, "YOU! Your the one who threw a book at me?! First off... Who the fuck throws a book?! And second... I am gonna turn you into a suitcase!"

The human stopped however when he noticed the many other ponies who were not there when he had left. "Um... Hi?" He managed, raising an eyebrow as he looked over the ponies in the room, noting the three new...

"Hey! Ooo aren't you cold with no fur? Why are you wearing a towel? Do you get flea's when you turn?" Pinkie pie was suddenly in the human's  face, wrapping the man in a tight hug and giggling.

The others were shocked, not sure what to do as Pinkie hugged the strange creature, but all let out a sigh of relief when Paul merely hugged the mare back, letting out a sigh.

"Hugs are nice..." He mumbled, not really caring anymore as he took a sniff of the mare's mane, "Mmm candyfloss... Wait...!" He pulled back and looked down at Pinkie, "How do you know about my change?!"

Pinkie Pie just looked up at him with her signature grin and tilted her head, "Huh? What do you mean silly billy? Ooo! Do you turn into different things?! Can you turn into a cake?!" The bright pink mare asked with a strange glint in her eye that told the man that this mare was probably batshit insane...

"Ok ok... Just... Lets get introductions out of the way..." Paul sighed and pushed passed the pink mare, heading down the rest of the stairs, "Dear god this is gonna be a long day..."
