cursed
chapter 1: a bumpy ride
Load Full StoryNext ChapterMy oak door flies off its hinges as three soldiers in their black armour enter my house and look around. Smashing anything that could contain anything.
"Wheres the food?!"one of the gaurds yell at me in a almost demonic voice.
"What food? You took the last of my food this morning!"I yell back startling a dark green mare outside.
the soldier who yelled at me trots up and hits my in the face with his armoured hoof.
"Ill teach you to speak back, youre a pathetic mess!"he spits as they leave.
I feel a tingling sensation in my nose. Slowely descending until the red drop splats against the floor.
As I raise my light brown to my nose another red drop drips down. I watch it as it rolls down until drops from the underneath of my leg.
"I really need to get out of here! But how?" I say in a whisper hoping the soldiers didn't hear me.
I unsteadily stand up on all four hooves and start towards whats left of my door. As I get within a meter of exiting my house a dead soldiers corps is droped infront of me. I stumbe backwards and onto my flank. Im nkt realy scared or worried by this because the griffons (who apparently started the war between transelmania and their kingdom) have been at the wall to this section of the city for days.
"Another soldier dies by a griffon and dropped from above. Good bye sir" I say to the soldier with a mix of sorrow and happiness in my voice when I realise its the soldier who hit me. "But thats what karma gives you for being a dick!"
Smilling I walk past the dead soldier and I turn the first corner to the path that leads to the train station. All I have to do is get a ticket, with all the money I have left I wont be able to get far. Maybe a small town in equestria, nearer the boarders.
"Where is it you plan on going sir?" The ticket master asks in a grumpy tone.
looking up I see im at the front of the que to the ticket booth.
"As far as I can with 50 bits and no packages." I say smilling.
"Well the furthest you can go is ponyville sir. Here's youre ticket. The train will leave in 5 minuites."
"Thank you sir" I say and gallop as fast as I cant through the crowds of waiting ponies.
Strangely the only trains that arnt being packed tight with ponies is the ones going to equestria. The train hoots and I bolt to get through the door before it leaves.
"Ticket please." A voice asks as I get on.
I turn to find its the trains ticket keeper
"Y, yes of coarse!" I say and pass him the ticket.
I enter the first carraige to see why no pony wanted on this train. It travels straight through griffon teritory.
I look at the walls taking in how soaked they are in blood. I notice how the word "run" has been mrked in it.
"Um, are you sure this is" I stop the question as I turn around to find the ticket keeper getting off the train before closing the door behind him.
"I guess id better prepare for a bumpy ride." I say as the train pulls away with a hiss.
I decide to move up to the careaige just behind the locamotive. Probably safer there.
but the farther towards the front I go the colder it seams to get. As I enter the front carraige a burst of heat hits me in the face like a brick. I stumble backwards but then continue moving forward before shutting the door behind me.
this carraige is very warm and at the same time windy enough to keep you cool. This is definetly the first class carraige.
suddenly a smashing sound comes from the carraiges behind and I turn to see multiple griffons climbing in through windows.
pannicking I open the door and unhook the train carts behind the one im on. As they are left behind a spear slices through my mane cutting off a tuft of my black hair as it rushes by me.
"Wohoohoo! That was close!" I say as I back up into my carriage once more. As I turn I find a spear being held to my throught by a griffon.
"Hehe, wrong day to catch this train punny stallion." The griffon says as the spear edges closer.
I look up at him he goes to kill me but I push the tip of the spear out the way and duck, smilling as he flies over me and through the closed door. I watch him start to get up for other carraiges to hit him and blood splatters the front.
"Help!" The driver yells at me through an open door
"What with?" I ask and he points to a bucket of coal.
I run over to it and start shovelling it in. As more coal goes in the train increases in speed.
"If we detatch the last carraige we might be able to get out of griffon territory before were both killed!" The driver says as I see a shadow behind him just before a spear is stuck through his head and is dragged out by a griffon.
I take out the pin holding the last carraige on and un hook it. However this takes longer than it should because im half blinded in gore from the drivers death.
The locamotive enters a tunnel marking the end of griffon territory a dead griffon is knoked of the roof and sprays me with even more blood. And so I tip the rest of the coal in the engine and prepare to use the brake when I get to poneyville.
I start to dose off when a small town comes into sight. It has multiple strange buildings to what im used to. Where these buildings look built for comfort the buildings im used to are built for surviving powerfum magic blasts and raids.
"So thats ponyville aye? Looks nice sfom here. Hope they dont mind me being covered in gore from the journey here." I say in a worried voice to match the worry that they will asume im a murderer.
I pull hard on the brake a load almost deafening squeal escapes the wheals and one of the axels break and sends the locamotive off the the track and me with it. Flipping and throwing me out of the trai I feel the ground suddenly catch up with me. I hear a crunchung noise as pain stikes through me. I know I have broken multiple bones in my still rolling body.
my vission is suddenly being blurred out and a darkness fades in around me. The last thing I see is three little fillies arrive. A yellow earthpony with red hair, a brownish pegasus with purple hair and a white unicorn with purple and pink hair. They something about telling a princess abou this but then one of the others say "come on girls! If we take him to twilight ourselves we might get our cutiemarks!"
I dont get to hear there reaction because my sight fades out with my hearing before I can have a chance at hearing it. I feel bodys moving near by but i think it's the end when a large hoof stamps down near my muzzle and I lose consciosness.
