The Jack of blades

Today something unexpected happened. I'm not sure what possessed me to do what I did or why did I even put myself in harm's way. Well, I blame fluttershy.

It was around sunset in the Everfree Forest. I had decided to introduce myself to Fluttershy while she was on her way home. I had been following her for about an hour just waiting for the right moment. I mean, I wasn't complaining. Watching Fluttershy go about her day is somewhat calming. Not to mention, listening to her sing with her soothing voice, it just made me want to donate money to some orphanage or something, but I managed to keep my evil and not run towards the nearest orphanage while crying and wishing for world peace (not like Equestria needs that).

Anyway, getting back on track I was just about to step out of the shadows and say hello when a timber wolf jumped out of the bushes and locked its jaws around Fluttershy's hoof and caused her to cry out in pain.

My eyes widened as I saw the event unfold but after five seconds I had run over to the wolf and Fluttershy and I stuck my hands in between its open maw and pulled them apart freeing Fluttershy's hoof from the wolf's grip.

Once Fluttershy was out of danger I went into a rage my vision went hazy and everything that happened after is a blur. I just remember standing over a pile of broken wood, the remains of the wolf, but that's not what was bothering me it was the look Fluttershy was giving me.

It caused me no small amount of pain. Don't get me wrong, I love causing fear and I love it when creatures start to cry slightly but when you get that look from Fluttershy you just end up wondering if your life is worth living, but me being who I am I managed to find a reason.

We both stayed there staring at each other until the pain from her hoof caused her to cry out quietly. My eyes widened as I realized that she was hurt. I walked over to her and crouched down so I was at her level. She sort of curled up and that hurt me.

But I needed to check her wound to make sure it wasn't going to cause her too much pain. I held my hand out and she looked at it, fear evident in her eyes, but she slowly held her hoof out for me to look at. I gently grabbed a hold of her hoof and she shivered due to the coldness of my armor but she didn't pull away.

So I checked her hoof over and it appeared to be fine but just to be on the safe side I casted a healing spell and she stared shocked as her cut flesh and ripped skin sealed back up and all that was left was a few small scars in their place.

She brought her eyes to stare into mine and she spoke two words in the very hushed voice that Fluttershy is known for, the two words "thank you". I smiled under my mask and stood up. I nodded and I cast one more spell sending Fluttershy back to her cottage and then I cast the same spell but mine took me to my home.

Now I sit here writing this down into this journal hoping the reason for my reactions today will come to me but so far nothing. Well at least when I go to introduce myself next time I'll have some bonus points with fluttershy
