Warcraft is Magic

The crowd had dispersed by this time and Vinny and I were once again laying on the hill, except this time, we had a very angry Twilight to deal with.

"What do you mean you can’t die?! That’s impossible! Are you two gods or something?!" Twilight yelled at us.

"Two things. First, we’re not gods. I have seen gods and I have killed gods and I can tell you without a doubt that we are not gods.  Second, when Vinny and I chose to have these powers, we had a spell cast on us. The spell made it so we can’t die. What good is a dead hero?"

"That’s amazing!" Twilight squealed. "If I could learn that spell, it could make life so much..."

“I would never allow you to learn that spell, Twilight, and even if you found a way to use it, I would stop you.  You would be cursing whoever you cast it on a life of pain and misery. We can’t die, but every time we get killed, we still feel the pain. I have been killed now nearly a thousand times, and I have come back every time. By this time, I want to die, but I can’t so I must cope and live on.”

"I’m so sorry, I had no idea…" said Twilight.

"It’s OK, let’s just not talk about it again. So, didn’t you promise us a tour?"

The tour included Sugarcube Corner, then Carousel Boutique, and several other shops in town.  We eventually started to walk out of town. I was wondering where we were going, but decided against it. We had been walking for about... wait, I smell…    APPLES.

"APPLES! I SMELL APPLES! WHERE ARE THE APPLES!? TELL ME!" I yelled, while shaking Twilight. She simply pointed up the road and I was off.

"I’m sorry, he really loves apples," said Vinny.

Location

As Twilight and Vinny approached Sweet Apple Acres, they saw me, a mighty paladin laying on the ground unconscious with a yellow farm pony on top of me.

"Oh my gosh Applejack, what happened?"  inquired Twilight.

"Well this here thing just ran up to ma tree and started ta eat all ma apples so I bucked him in the head," she explained.

"I apologize for my friend. He loves apples more than life," Vinny said while trying not to laugh. "I’m sure when he wakes up, we will pay back whatever he has eaten."

"Ahhhhhh not the face!... Wait, what happened? Weren’t we just on a road and then I woke up?" I moaned while rubbing my head.

"Well, you started shouting something about apples and ran this way like a lunatic," Twilight explained.

"Not again. The last time this happened, I managed to eat a year’s worth of apples in a week," I admitted sheepishly.

"Well ya managed ta eat three trees worth of apples and I expect ya to pay me back for em or else I’ll buck ya so hard yer horns il fall off," the farm pony threatened.

"Yes ma’am, please don’t kill me ma’am, I will do anything ma’am!" I yelled with obvious terror in my voice.

"Well, I will have something fer ya ta do later. Come back in a couple of hours.  Just come back or else."

As we were walking away from Applejack, I began to quiver.

“Whats wrong?” asked Twilight.

“Well, she just reminds me of a girl I used to know named Soul. She would always use me for spell practice and she did weird experiments on me. I used to be an Elf, but then one day she kidnapped me and strapped me to a table and... and I woke up as a Tauren. She is absolutely the most evil person in the universe. Heck, Vinny used to be handsome, but now look at him!”

Location

After several more minutes of walking and several kicks to the side of the head from Vinny, we arrived at a small tree house. There were birds singing, but it wasn’t a happy tune. It was a somber song to make you sad. There was also crying. We walked around to the back of the house and on the ground was a small butter yellow and pink form crying over the body of a rabbit.

"Fluttershy, what happened?" asked Twilight.

"It’s Angel Bunny," she said in a voice that was almost too soft to hear. "He was eating and then he started to choke and before I could do anything, he… he..." she broke down into tears again.

"Oh Fluttershy, I'm so sorry," Twilight said as she put a hoof over her crying friend.

I felt Vinny hop off my shoulder and saw him walk over to Fluttershy and the dead animal. He got down on his knees and started to touch Angel Bunny.

"What are you doing?!" yelled Twilight.

"If you wouldn’t yell at me, you would see" snapped Vinny.  Vinny held his hands as if he was gripping a ball and closed his eyes. A green orb started to form in the open space. When it reached the size of a grapefruit, he pushed it down on top of Angel Bunny.  The orb was absorbed by the body after a couple of seconds. It’s nose started to twitch, it’s eyes shot open, and he began to gasp for air[1].

"Angel Bunny, you’re okay! I thought you were dead," Fluttershy squealed.

"He was dead. I resurrected him," Vinny said with a smile. "Can’t stand to see girls cry, so I decided to help you."

"You did what?" Twilight exclaimed "So you can’t die and you can bring back the dead?"

"Yes and no. I can bring back dead animals, but not humanoids, and Azok can bring back humanoids, but not animals. But there is a limit, we can only rez if they have been dead for less than an hour," Vinny explained.

Twilight just sat there staring at us. And then she started twitching and all hell broke loose.

"SO YOU TWO JUST FALL OUT OF THE SKY ONE DAY, APART YOU CAN BOTH USE STRANGE POWERS, YOU BOTH CAN’T DIE, YOU CAN APPARENTLY BRING BACK THE DEAD! WHAT ELSE CAN YOU TWO DO AND HOW DO YOU EXPECT US TO BELIEVE YOU ARE NOT GOING TO HURT US, CUZ APPARENTLY THERE ISN’T ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO STOP YOU MONSTERS! I MEAN, COME ON, THE COW THING CAN TURN INTO A DRAGON. LET ME GUESS, THE MIDGET CAN TURN INVISIBLE! HU THAT WOULD JUST MAKE MY DAY"(Note: This is the only part of the crazy fear-induced rant I can put in for legal reasons.)

“Well actually, yes, I can turn invisible[2],” said Vinny with a smile. Twilight then proceeded to pass out.

“Welp, I guess we better get her back to her house. Later Fluttershy!” I shouted as I picked up the still twitching Twilight and headed off towards town, leaving a visibly shaken Fluttershy with her recently reanimated pet.  We arrived at Twilight’s tree house after a strange walk through town that included many odd stares and many young stallions going “Nice bro.”

Location

And when we arrived, we were attacked by a tiny purple and green dragon. It started off with a vicious kick to the shins that felt like a mild wind had just blown against my lower leg. The next attack came as a wave of tears that he shot from his eyes. It was as if he had hurt himself, but surely a dragon of his power would not feel pain (I could go on, but you get the point that he ain’t doing jack squat, ya). I gingerly picked him up by his tail and looked him in the eye. “Stop kicking me or I will be forced to retaliate. Now, I was just returning Twilight to her house, but I can take her back to mine if you don’t want her because I’m getting the feeling that I am not welcome.” The baby dragon apologized and introduced himself as Spike.

“Her bed is upstairs, and I’m sorry for attacking you. I thought you two were thieves or something,” he said while still wiping tears from his eyes.

“It’s ok kid, I would of done the same thing, except I wouldn’t have attacked something seven feet tall and encased in golden armor. So you’re either brave or an idiot.” Vinny chuckled while patting Spike on the shoulder (Vinny is about the same height).

Spike started to bloat and his eyes started to water. Then he burped.  A plume of green smoke shot from his mouth, engulfing Vinny. After the smoke cleared, a charred Vinny stood there with a scroll in his hands, Spike took the scroll and began to read.

“My faithful student Twilight Sparkle:

I have received your letter concerning the two who fell from the sky bla bla bla determine if threat bla bla bla be careful bla bla bla I would also like to see you and the two begin as soon as possible.

Princess Celestia"

“Wonder who she is talking about. Oh well, I’ll give the letter to Twilight when she wakes up,” shrugged Spike.

“Hay Azok, weren’t you supposed to be helping Applejack? Ya know, paying her back for all the food you ate?”

“OH GOD, she is going to kill me!” I yelled as I ran out the door. (Sandstone Drake) I transformed into my draconic form and flew as fast as I could toward Sweet Apple Acres.
