I groaned as I stretched my arms, and threw the sack onto the ground. "OW!" The lizard yelled as he slammed into the ground. I removed my helmet, and knelt down next to a large, calm river. I smiled as I splashed the cool, refreshing water onto my face, and chuckled. The water seemed to shine from suns morning light, the trees swayed back and forth in the air, and the sound of birds singing filled my ears. It was all very calm, and I enjoyed the beauty, but soon I was pulled out of the beauty by the lizards loud yelling. "Let me out you hairless monkey! When I get out of here I'll show you who's boss!" He shouted. I sighed, and quickly refilled my empty canteen.

"Will you shut it." I said, and stood up. "If I knew you were this annoying, I would have taken that princess." I mumbled.

"Can I at least stick my head out? It's hard to breathe in here." He said. I thought for a moment, and shrugged. I walked over to the sack, and opened it a bit just for his head to stick out. His head popped out, and he took a deep breathe. "Thank Celestia, it was getting kinda smelly in there." I sat down, and leaned against a tree. We were both quite as I drank from my canteen, and continued to listen to the calming sound of the forest. I stared up into the sky, and saw bright white clouds float lazily throughout sky, and a few birds fly by. "Uhh, what are you going to do to me?" He asked.

"Nothing as long as your princess doesn't try anything." I said, and rose to my feet. "So be a good lizard, and play nice."

"I'm not a lizard, I'm a dragon" He said. I raised an eyebrow.

"A dragon? Bull, your no dragon. Your to small." I said, and grabbed my helmet.

"Well that's because I'm a baby dragon." He said.

"Well I don't care what you are, your my hostage until I get what I want." I said, and placed my helmet back on.

"What is it you want?" He asked.

"Isn't it obvious? I want humans to be free." I said with a smile. "I want to give humans a chance, and break their chains. I know for a fact that when humans break free from the other races, they can develop a new home, and have their revenge. It may take time, but I'm willing to set them free, no matter how long it takes." I said with pride, and picked up the lizard. "And as long as I have you, I have a princess that will do as I say." I chuckled, and turned away from the river. "Now, where do I go from here. Surely they can't be far." I mumbled to myself. Soon enough the sound of a horn filled the forest, and several strange creatures with nets, spears, and crossbows flew over head. "Shit." I quickly took off following the flying creatures. I sprinted through the woods, jumping over logs, and holes, and soon I came to a stop as I reached the edge of a wide clearing. In the middle of the clearing was the group of humans from yesterday, and a few of the creatures laid dead around them. Blood soaked the humans, and their weapons as they began to bunch up into a circle. More of the creatures surrounded them form air, and ground.

"Kill the humans with weapons, and take the rest back to the hunting camp!" Shouted a bird like creature who stood far from the battle. I looked up into the air, and saw six of the creatures slowly aiming their crossbows at the group. I quickly hanged the lizard on a near by branch, and aimed my rifle at the first creature I saw. I took a deep breathe, and fired a single shot. The creatures head snapped back with a mist of blood shooting out, and it fell to the ground with a loud thud. The creatures froze, and began to look for whatever killed their ally, but before they could even see me I fired five more shots, and every shot hit their targets. They feel to the earth, and the creatures on the ground began to shout in panic, and fear.

"What happened to them!?"

"Where did that come from!?"

"Someone find out where that came from!"

"What the fuck is going on!?"

As the last one shouted out, I pulled the trigger, and it fell dead under it's own weight. As the others watched their ally fall dead, one of the humans from the group lunged at one of the cowering creatures, and plunged his spear into it's chest. It let out a scream, and the other humans with weapons charged forth at the remaining creatures. Two of them were hacked down while the rest who tried to fly away were shot down by me. I looked to the other side of the clearing, and saw a shocked leader staring at what was left of his soldiers. His wings shot up, but I quickly fired a few shots. Most of them missed it, but luckily two shots injured one of his wings, and his left leg. I smiled, and pulled out the magazine from my rifle. Half a mag left, nice. I slapped it back in, and looked to the lizard who was staring in shock, and fear. His mouth hanged opened, and his eyes were wide as dinner plates. I chuckled, and grabbed the lizard from the branch, and walked out of the forest, and into the clearing. "Magical morning isn't it?" I said with a chuckle. The humans quickly snapped towards me with battle ready faces, but soon their faces calmed, and they all smiled with relief. Soon Lizzy made her way out of the group caring a bloody spear, and waved.

"Warrior, you found us!" She said happily. I smirked.

"Told ya I'd find you didn't I?" I said. I looked at the group, and smiled. "I knew you all could fight." I said. She smiled, and chuckled. The rest of the humans walked towards me, and began to thank me for saving them. I got pats on the back from the men, and a few kisses on the side of my helmet from the women. I never liked being the center of attention, but this time it felt good, but as I enjoyed the peoples praise, I remembered the injured creature, and looked to the edge of the forest where a groaning creature could be seen. I handed one of the men the lizard. "Hold this for a sec." I said, and walked past the humans. Soon I reached the creature who was now trying to crawl away, but I quickly shot his other leg. He let out a scream, and held his leg in pain. I then placed my boot onto his throat, and pointed the barrel of my rifle between his fear filled eyes.

"What are you? A demon!?" It asked with fear. I chuckled, and put pressure onto his throat. He gagged, and began to struggle.

"No, I'm much worst then a demon." I chuckled, and put all my weight down onto his neck. Their was a loud crack, and he started to twitch before it laid still with tears running down it's face. I sighed, and turned back to the humans who were all surrounding the man holding the lizard. The lizard was being held up over the mans head as a few of the men slightly poked the bag.

"Ow! OW! OW! WILL YOU STOP THAT, IT HURTS!" The lizard screamed. The humans just laughed, and began to play with the lizard some more. "I can't feel my butt anymore!" He cried out. I snickered, and rolled my eyes. I walked back to the group, and grabbed the lizard from the man.

"Alright, alright, that's enough." I said with a grin under my helmet. I looked to Lizzy who made her way through the group. "We may want to leave before more of those...what were those things actually?" I asked.

"Those were Griffons, but we never seen them this far in Equestria. They mostly hunt in their own kingdom." She said.

"Well, if there are more out there than we may want to find a place to old out." I said. She nodded, and pointed towards a large mountain.

"We were actually going to go try and hide in those mountains there, and with you there I'm sure we will be safe from hunters." She said with confidence. I chuckled, but I knew I didn't have a lot of ammo left. Half a clip, and three more left. Not sure I can take out an army. Luckily I have more ammo for my pistol, but still I'm worried about running into a big group.

"Well lets not stay in the open, lets get a move on." I said, and began to walk towards the mountain. They followed, and Lizzy ran up beside me. I looked at her, and smiled. She was covered in blood, and she wore smile on her face. Her brown ragged clothing was drenched in blood, and a few scratches covered her arms, legs, and even a few on her face. Her short red hair was messy, and all over the place. Her smile was small, and I had just noticed her eyes. They were... white? I never noticed until now. Strange, but really cute.

"Uhh, you okay?" She asked. I snapped out of my trance, and cleared my throat.

"W-What? Yeah, it's just that... your eyes. I've never seen anything like it." I said.

"My eyes?" She asked with a look of confusion.

"Yeah, why are they white?" I asked. She shrugged.

"I don't know. I've seen other humans with colored eyes, thought it was normal." She said. I chuckled. Soon she looked to the lizard, and poked his head.

"Hey!" The lizard shouted. Lizzy giggled.

"Where did you get this little guy, he's really cute." She said. I looked to the lizard, and chuckled at his blushed face.

"Well, lizard boy here is part of my mission. I need him to complete it." I said. He growled.

"I'm not a lizard! I'm a dragon, and my name's Spike!" He shouted.

"Well, Spike, you look cute in that sack." Lizzy said. Spike blushed even harder, and I growled. Cute my ass! I can be cuter than him... I think.

"So, Lizzy, I noticed your group has grown a bit." I said, trying to take the attention away from that little bastard Spike. She looked to me. Yes!

"Oh yeah, we found more of our tribe that escaped the attack on our village." She said. "Luckily a few children survived, but most of their parents didn't make it." She said with a sad look. I shook my head.

"Makes me sick." I mumbled. She nodded in agreement, and we both were silent.

"Uhh, where are we going again?" Spike asked. I sighed.

"To the mountains." I said quickly.

"Why?" He asked.

"To hide from hunters."

"But why don't you humans just go to ponyville, and find a master?" He asked. I was about to snap, but Lizzy spoke first.

"Because we don't want masters Spike." Lizzy said calmly. I on the other hand felt like screaming at the little prick. I was actually surprised at Lizzy's calm attitude.

"Why not? You humans can't do any sort of magic, and you live in the woods like animals. Don't you want a safe home, and be clean, and to be fed fresh food instead of eating whatever you eat out here?" He asked. She chuckled.

"Of course I do, that sounds like heaven! Not being scared every day, and having good food instead hunting, and scavenging whatever we could find. I want to be full, and clean, and free! I want my tribe to live in peace, and I want our children to sleep without any worries." She said with hope, but soon the hope left her voice as she frowned, and looked to the ground. "But that's only a dream, there's no way that will ever happen." I growled, and grind my teeth in anger.

"Your wrong." I mumbled. She looked to me with a bit of confusion. "That's not a dream, it will happen!"

"How do you know that?" She asked.

"Because I've seen it happen, I lived in that kind of world once. I know for a fact that we can create that kind of place. Just trust me Lizzy, that dream will soon become a reality." I said. She chuckled, and shook her head.

"Sure it will warrior, sure it will." She said with a smile.

"Also, my names not warrior." I said.

"Then what is it?" She asked. I thought for a moment, and smiled.

"Delta."

"Delta? What kind of name is that?" She asked with a grin.

"It was the name of my team." I said with pride.

"Your team? Is that what you call your tribes?" She asked. I shrugged.

"I guess." I said. She chuckled, and we were both quite for the rest of the walk there. It took about an hour, but soon we reached the bottom of the mountain. I looked to Lizzy. "So we're gonna climb that?" I asked. She shook her head.

"No, that would be to obvious. The Griffons would search their first." She said, and pointed towards a small hole in the side of the mountain. "That hole leads to a large cave that we can all hide in." She said. I walked over to the hole, and inspected it. It was just large enough to fit a full grown man. I nodded,and looked back to the group. There were at least 15, or 16 people waiting for the okay.

"Alright, everyone in!" I said, and motioned the group towards the hole. They quickly made their way to the hole, and began to climb through the hole one by one. I kept an eye out, and handed Spike to Lizzy as she climbed in. I collected a few branches, and as the last person made their way through I started to climb in with the branches. As I made it through I stuffed the branches in the hole, and covered It up. I turned around to see a dark tunnel with several shadows of human figures. I activated my night vision on my hud, and smiled.

"I can't see."

"Hey watch it!"

"Hey, I found some fluffy pillows!"

"AH!"

*SMACK*

"Sorry!"

I chuckled at the sight of people fumbling around each other, and sighed. "Okay everyone follow the sound of my voice, and stay close." I said, and walked by the group. I began to hum loudly, and watched as the humans blindly followed me. They stumbled, and tripped over each other. It was truly amusing. Even the guy who kept grabbing women's ass, and chest.

"Hey, I see something." Lizzy said, and pointed behind me. I turned, and saw a dim light. I deactivated my night vision, and began to walk faster towards the light. I made sure I was at a good distance from the group, and made my way to the light. I soon noticed the light begin to turn blue, and raised my rifle. Soon I felt a cool breeze rush against my bare arms as I reached the entrance that led to a large open area. Glowing flowers, and mushrooms hanged off the walls, and a clear blue pond sat right in the middle of the room. I entered the room, and scanned the area. I then noticed a trail that led up to the ceiling, but there was another entrance that was blocked off.

"What is this place?" I asked myself.

"My favorite place to relax." Lizzy said, and past by me. Soon the rest of the group entered, and gave the same look of surprise as they scanned the room. "Cool, huh?"

"Yeah it is!" One of the men said.

"It's so beautiful." One of the women said.

"It's perfect!" The old man shouted. "Liz, why didn't you tell us of this place sooner?" Lizzy shrugged.

"It didn't come to mind. Sorry." She said, and rubbed her neck. The old man sighed, and waved his hand.

"No matter, we're here now so lets get comfortable." He said with a smile. Everyone agreed, and started to explore the area.

"Delta." I looked to Lizzy who held Spike in her right hand. "What do you want me to do with Spike here?" She asked.

"Just keep an eye on him, I'm going to go and make sure this place is clear." I said. She nodded, and walked away towards a group of women.

"Oh how cute!"

"He's so adorable!"

"Look, he's blushing!"

I chuckled as Spike looked back to me with a pleading look. I shook my head, and began to check for any other entrances. Luckily there were none, and everything seemed to be fine about this place. No sign of hunters, and no other open entrances that could be dangerous. I looked around, and smiled to see the group relaxing next to the water. They talked, laughed, and just acted like nothing was wrong. I wanted to join them, but relaxation wasn't on my list right now. I found the group, and we found a place to set up, but I still need them to get on the same page with me. I walked to Lizzy who was still with the other women. They surrounded Spike who seemed to have gotten used to all of the attention. I tapped Lizzy on the shoulder, and she looked to me. "Hey, can I talk to you for a moment." I said motioning her away from the group.

"Sure." She said, and we broke away from the laughing group of girls. We reached a empty part of the room. "So, what do you think. This place is great huh?" She asked.

"Yeah, it's a slice of heaven, but I need to talk to you about something important." I said, and took of my helmet. My face was stern, and serious. "Remember my mission I was talking about?" She nodded. "And remember that dream of yours?" She nodded again. "Well your dream is my mission." I said. Her eyes went wide, and she only had a face of confusion.

"Wait, what?" She asked.

"My mission is to make a home for humans. A free home." I said with a small smile. Now her face showed only disbelief as she looked at me as if I was crazy.

"Delta, that's nuts! There's no way any of that will happen. It's not like we can just make a home, hunters will come for us, and tear it down." She said.

"Then we fight!" I said.

"That's even more nuts!" She said.

"Why is that nuts? You, and your group just fought off a group of hunters today. I mean just look at you! Your covered in their blood!" I said.

"Delta we got lucky, and we only killed a few hunters when they weren't paying attention, you killed the rest when you found us." She said, and sighed. "I can't believe we're even talking about this."

"Lizzy, trust me, we can build that dream of yours. We just half to fight for it!" I said, and put a hand on her shoulder. "Lizzy, I need you, and your group to help me in my mission." I said. She looked at me, and pushed my hand off of her shoulder.

"No way, you can fight for this 'dream', but your not pulling my family into this!" She hissed.

"Then would you rather your family just stand here, and wait for those fucking things to come, and drag you away, and do god knows what to you!?" I shouted.Everything was quite, and even the rest of the group stopped what they were doing, and just stared at us. I sighed. "Lizzy I need you, please help me make a world better for humans." I said. She shook her head, and looked to the ground.

"What are we going to do? It's not like we can affect anything." She said.

"Your wrong again." I said with a smile. She looked up with confusion. "We can make a new world as long as we try. If we just sit back, and suffer, then the dream of freedom will only be a dream. We have to build, we have to give hope, and we have to fight. If we don't do that, then who will?" I asked. She was quite, but soon she spoke.

"Fine, I'll help, but I'm not sure about everyone else." She said, and looked to the others. I thought for a moment, and smiled.

"Later tonight we'll talk about it when we're all together, but for now let's just set up. I'll go hunting while the rest of you set up." I said, and placed my helmet back over my head.

"Well why don't you take Abe, and Glenn? They're our best hunters." She said, and pointed to two young men talking with the group of girls. I thought for a moment, and shrugged.

"Fine. Hey Abe, Glenn! Come here!" I shouted. Both of the men, looked to us, said their goodbyes to the women, and ran to us.

"What's up?" Glenn said. His hair was dark black, and his dark skin had several cuts. His eyes were green, and he gave off this serious, but kind look. He was big, and obviously had some muscles.

"Yeah, hope this is important." Abe said. His hair was blonde, and his tanned skin was covered in dirt, and scratches from head to toe. His eyes were blue, and he gave off a cocky vibe by just smiling. He was skinny, and lacked muscles.

"Delta here is going hunting, and I want you guys to go out with him." Lizzy said.

"What? Why should we?" Abe asked. Lizzy glared at him.

"Cause I said so, or do you want me to tell my father about your little stunt you tried to pull?" She asked with a evil smile. Abe growled, and folded his arms.

"You know that's not fair." He said.

"Does it look like I care?" She said. Glenn laughed, and rubbed his neck.

"No problem, we'll go hunting with the warrior." Glenn said, and stuck out his hand towards me. "It may be fun." I chuckled, and shook his hand.

"Good, and call me Delta." I said. Glenn nodded with a smile.

"Well are we going or not?" Abe asked. Me, and Glenn chuckled, and we all began to walk towards the tunnel we came from. We left the room, and walked back through the dark tunnel. As we walked back through the tunnel, a thought entered my mind.

'Just a dream, huh? Well we'll just have to make it a reality.'
