//-------------------------------------------------------// A Warrior Reborn -by tsukasa709- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1: A Warrior Reborn //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1: A Warrior Reborn A Warrior Reborn CHAPTER 1 A WARRIOR REBORN A blue light. That's all that he saw, surrounding him on all sides. He was still garbed in his paladin armor, his tunic royal blue a thorny blue crown and arm guards, gauntlets and leggings of the purest pearl white metal, the strongest material found in his world. Strapped to his side his longsword pure blue with a white edge and solid gold engravings, the shield on his back the same design of the blinding white metal,still holding the same engravings as his sword. This gear was his favorite not because it saved his life, but because it protected his friends and loved ones, even in his final fight. He himself is a Roegadyn, a large man with green skin, platinum blonde hair leading down to a bearded covered chin.. His right eye a royal blue, as calm as an ocean, the other, a pale white with a scare running through it, showing it to be useless. As he glanced around he finally found the large blue crystal, Hydaelyn shaped roughly like a teardrop with several smaller crystals orbiting her in a ring. She always speaks in a soft, gentle voice, never giving vent to any kind of negative emotion. "Come my champion you have severed me well, but now it is time for you to move on, where you go I shan't know, for it is not apart of my realm."she spoke in a kind motherly voice." But know this, all your talents, your gear, and your magic, shall stay with you. For you will need it, take care my child." All he could do was give a sad smile and a single tear as he knew what she had meant. He was dead and he knew it, but at least he gave his life to save his friends. He closed his eyes and reached forth, to the warm glowing light that washed over him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace. That is the only thing he could feel around him as he regained consciousness. As he opened his eyes all he could see was trickles of light seeping through a forest canopy. Sitting up he glanced around at his surroundings. None Of the foliage looked familiar to him, he did notice a river nearby and decided on getting a small drink. Getting up his armor clamored, and he dusted himself of the grass and twigs he had stuck to him. As he walked to the riverbed he examined himself and noticed he still had most of his inventory with him. But the items of his most concern where the nine stones, attached to a necklace, that allowed him to access his other learned jobs and equipment. His other concern was the special enchanted back on his hip that carried his nine billion gil, coins about 2inches in diameter and weighing about half a pound each, this was the currency from his world. Not knowing if it would help him in this world. He continued to search for his designated item. "There you are." He said with sad yet rigid voice, as calm as the forest he was currently in, as he pulled out a set of bottles to scoop the water into.after filling his bottles and taking a drink for himself, he decided to follow the path leading from the river hoping to find some civilization to see what world he has ended up in. He pulled out his sword and shield, which started to glow yellow from the enchantments on them, I case he needed them. --------------------------------------------------~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It has been about hour since he started trekking down this path, and still no signs of any dangers, he placed his weapons away. After walking a few more minutes he sees an opening in the tree line before him. Quickening his pace a small smile broke onto his face. Beautiful. That was the only word that could describe the grassy plains before him. As he surveyed the land he noticed a small town looking to be about twenty minuets away from him. He proceeded his hike, only to come to a stop, as he heard what seemed to be a cry for help. Quickly pulling is weapons back off he scanned the area looking for the plea. Finally spotting movement to his right, from a different entrance to the forest, he spotted what seemed to be a small horse being chased by a pack of wolves. Pulling at his oath to protect all innocence, his instincts told him to hurry, and that he did, his armor clanking loudly as he ran. As he neared the. Haste he noticed how the wolves seemed to be made of wood. Seeing stranger from his Eorzea he shook his head and sped his running. A sudden yelp caught his attention as the small horse fell. It's leg caught in a hole and bent awkwardly. He jumped I front of it and blocked a swipe from the wolf in the front. The wolf backed a way and seemed to get ready for another attack. Recless waited for the right moment, right as the wolf pounced he bashed his shield in to its head and stabbed it in the heart. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Run. That was the only thing playing through her mind. Just run. She glanced back behind her to see the four wolves still chasing her as she ran back the path she traveled into the Everfree. Her name was Scootaloo, she was in this forest because was looking to get her cutie mark.but it did not go as planned. Her friends, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, had decided to go home after their last attempt. But Scootaloo wanted to try once more, even tho her friends had gone home. She decided to go exploring to see if she could obtain her cutie mark, thus she decided to enter the Everfree. Not five minuets into the forest she was spotted by the pack of timber wolves. The first thing entering her mind, was to run. Here she was running. Running as fast as her little hooves would allow her, she came up one the field leading her back home, the wolves still on her trail. She made it about a hundred yards before suddenly her foot hurt and she found herself face down on the ground, an agonizing pain shooting through her. She looked behind her and saw the wolves dashing for her. She closed her eyes ready for the oncoming pain, but it never came. She heard a sudden cry of pain as she looked up and saw a tall creature, the tallest she had ever seen, stabbing one of the wolves in the chest whit have strange glowing sword. She watched as he batted them all away readied himself for another onslaught, but the wolves suddenly backed away, and began running back to the forest. The giant stood there for a second weapons at the ready before finally deeming the area safe and put them away. He turned and walked up to her. She covered her head and braced herself for any pain to come. But again it never came. Instead she felt her body being lifted off the ground and placed in a standing position. When her back hoof touched the ground tho she cried in pain. Looking back she could tell it was broken. It was bent backwards in a way it shouldn't have been. It was then that he heard his voice. And it saddened her. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ He stood there, waiting for any more danger to make itself known. Deeming it safe, he put his weapons away, and turned to the small horse creature. As he walked to it he notice it try to defend itself almost as a person from his world would. Was this creature intelligent? It was then he noticed its leg, bent at an awkward position, he decided he should heal it. He wouldn't lie what he was about to do would be painful for the horse. He bent down to pick it up, feeling it tense at his touch. After picking it up he relished it to be a female, and adorning a pair of wings. This confused him greatly, he thought Pegasi to be a myth but here was one in front of him. And no bigger than his entire hand. He gently lowered her down on the ground again in a prone position being mindful of her leg, witnessing her flinch as it came into contact with the ground. He than proceeded to look through his sack until he found what he needed, a small wooden rectangle, he then held it toward the Pegasus. "Here. Bite down as hard as you can on to this" he said as he held it out for her. She turned her head, hearing his voice, and looked at the object in his hands. Deciding to trust him after he saved her life she took the small wooden plaque into her mouth and bit it as hard as she could. She then herd his voice again "I will not lie, this will hurt a lot. But I need to replace your leg into the correct location in order to heal it. Will you trust me" he asked with nothing but concern in his voice. Hesitant at first she looked into his eyes and saw nothing but concern. She closed her eyes tight and just gave a simple nod, ready for the pain. "I am sorry to do this" she heard. Then nothing but pain, was so much she couldn't stay conscious, as she blacked out the last glimps she saw was a strange blue glow as the mane said a simple word. "Cure." After he cast his spell he noticed the filly had passed out. He couldn't blame her. Resetting a bone was very painful, hopefully he did it right. He then proceeded to pick her up and checked over his work. Noticing that his spell had worked and her leg fixed he placed her in huge crook of his arm as he turned to make way towards the town he saw. A quick once over at a sign, strangely in his language said "Welcome to Ponyville." Author's Note My second story. I hope this one grabs your attention. This is my character from my final fantasy XIV: a realm reborn. He is a large guy that looks a lot like the tagged pic for the cover art. Please comment if you have anything to say. I would love to better myself as a writer. I can say for sure I don't have a solid plot for the story yet. But I hope it will reveal itself soon. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 2: A Warriors Arrival //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 2: A Warriors Arrival A Warriors Past The sun was setting over the horizon. The burning oranges and pinks growing dimmer and dimmer, as Recless walked the path towards the town he saw. The filly still in his arms out cold from the trauma she had suffered. While walking he examined her more, taking note of her small wings, and purple mane and tail. Her coat reminded him of the current sunset, just a simple burning orange. After some thought Recless had his plan sorted out. First he would get to a hospital for the tiny horse in his arms, or find its home. Then find a library or some place he could gather his needed information. He would need to use his abilities as a scholar to gather all the needed information, for it was the fastest way. While walking he noticed he was next to an apple orchard, knowing that this was most likely someone's land he decided against taking an apple for himself. Turning back to the path he was suddenly greeted with something pink in his face. "Hi!" He jumped back a bit unseating his sword and held the tiny horse in his left arm tightly. What he saw surprised him. It was another horse, the strange think being, this one was pink, only reaching the top of his leg in its hight. It then continue to speak to him." Hey are you new to ponyville, ooh shinny, why are you so big, I'm Pinkamena Diane Pie, but you can call me Pinkie, hey is that Scootaloo, what happened?" It was here he stopped listening as he had to take in the information that this "pony?" was talking to him, and that it knew the little orange one. Finding his resolve he finally stopped her. "Excuse me." He started. " do you know this little one?" He asked, all he got as an answer was a big smile and a nod of her head. " I we'll to answer you questions, yes I do believe I am new here, yes I know, and because this is as tall as my race gets, nice to meet you you, Pinkie was it? If that his her name then yes and she was chased by a wired pack of wolves. I jumped in to help her after she got her leg caught in a hole, it broke but I fixed it as best I could. Would you show me to the hospital please?" He asked after realizing that if this pony was intelligent and this was a pony town, then surely they have a hospital. "Okie dokie." Then she gasped. " you saved Scootaloo? That means I have to throw you a ' welcome to Ponyville/equestrian think you for saving Scootaloo party' but your right we should get her to the hospital quick this way." She said running down the road. Letting out a heavy sigh he followed. Scootaloo still tucked in his arm. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ " Over there is Bon Bons Sweets, and finally where I work the Sugercube Cornor. " she said. After pointing to each building as we past them. As annoyed as he was at her, he knew it would be best to know the lay out of the area. As they walked they came across a building with a large red cross on the front with a sign reading 'Ponyville General Hospital'. He looked towards Pinkie and said his thanks, afterwards with still a leeping filly in his arms, he walked inside. Entering the lobby he saw it was empty save for the pony sitting at the front desk. His heavy steps alerted the mare to his presence. A flash of surprise crossed her face. "How c-can I h-help you s-sir?"With a little fear in her voice as she asked. "Do not worry, I mean you no harm." Recless stated as calmly as he could, noticing the receptionist relax a little."I only require your assistance." As he motioned to his arms where Scootaloo rest. As the mare gasped he retold the story from earlier that day. She quickly understood and called for a nurse. They then took Scootaloo to a medical room for a small examination.when the doctor came out, he quickly made his way towards Recless so he could address him about the filly's health. "Good evening I am Dr. Feel Good. The filly you brought in has nothing wrong with her, but from what you have told us I do believe thanks are in order. You helped save a life, we will notify her parents about the situation. If we can not we will contact you. Might I ask for you name sir?" Explained Dr. Feel Good, as he pulled up a board and a quill. "Recless, Recless Tsuaishou." Recless answered. " if I might ask. Is there a library around here that I might could visit?" He asked slight worry in his voice. " Hmmm, there is the Golden Oaks library located towards the center of town, but it might be closed this early especially with there being the Summer Sun Festival. You are welcome to try if you wish." Replied the doctor. After saying his thanks Recless walked out of the hospital, mentally promising himself to check back on Scootaloo after he gained more information on this land and found a head figure to speak with about him being in this world. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Making his way towards the library he noticed that the town was far more quiet than earlier. He also noted that it was still darker than it should have been if the clock back in the hospital was right. Making his way towards the center as the doctor suggested, he stopped. He looked around a bit and realized the doctor never told him which building the library was. Scanning the area he saw a fairly large tree, it seemed to have windows, a door, and a porch. Walking closer he saw the sign stating it was the building he needed. As he opened the door he saw a large group of ponies staring at him, one purple, one blue, one white, one yellow, one orange, and for the love of all, the annoying pink one, he met earlier. "Uuumm, hi." He stated with really nothing more to say. Suddenly the pink one was up in his face. "Recless, Hi!" Yelled pinkie in his ear. Author's Note This is Recless just getting familiar with the town and meeting the main six. More will happen in the next chapter, and if you can't tell this takes place at the beginning of mlp. Please comment on how you like or don't like the story. Or if you have any questions. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 3: A Warrior's Meeting //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 3: A Warrior's Meeting Recless stood there, feeling a headache form from just seeing the pink poney again. Maybe it was just the fact he had to squat down so low just to fit in the library. Looking at the other phones saw different expressions across their faces. From the purple one a look of curiosity, the orange one had a small look of shock, white one just had her eyes wide, the yellow one... Where'd did she go? Recless glanced around found till he found her hiding behind the blue one, who was glarring at him, finally pinky had this big smile on her face. After a small thought all he could think to do was to say, "Hello"all of a sudden the blue one was up in his face. "Who are you? You a spy for Nightmare Moon? You look big enough, huh? And you got that big sword." She practically yelled in his ear. " Now shimmer down Rainbow Dash, we gots Nightmare Moon to worrie about." Said the orange one as she pulled the blue one out of my face, wich as she did I saw that the blue one was flying, deciding to question it later. Recless had no clue why he was being questioned by this pony, or what a nightmare moon is, but if they need help he will help. " Applejack is right Rainbow, Nightmare Moon is much more important then studying this new being."said the purple one looking back towards her book. "But Twilight just look how marvelous his out fit is, I must know how it was made"said the white one, taking a step forward "don't you think so Fluttershy?" She asked looking towards the cream colored pony who was just hiding behind her mane. "I like him, met him earlier and he told me how he was from another world and how he loves cake and how he saved Scootaloo." Said Pinkie. Although you do not remember telling her the first two. But for some reason the mentioning of the little orange filly made you worry for some reason. "Wait what!?" Yelled Rainbow Dash, as she was back in my face again."What happned to Scoots? What did you do?" She started bombarding him with question after question till Reclees had enough to where he took his left hand, and with his index finger and thumb, held her mouth closed. "Oh no what if..." Rainbow dash saw the creature clamping her muzzle closed, as she looked up into Recless's face, he held his right finger up to his moth making a hushing noise, looking into his eyes, she suddenly felt sadness seep into him just from his eyes alone. "She is ok, I saved and healed her from some wolves, she is currently in the hospital, on another note, I can sense some distress from you all if something dangerous I'd happening I am free to help but I do require some information from these books." He said, after feeling rainbow dash relax he released his hold on her mouth. "I am sorry for the rude contact miss Dash but none of you have given me a chance to speak, I do not know what this Nightmare moon is but I promise you this, I'm not her spy." He stated matter of factly. "Sorry." She said turning away, a small blush on her face. " We don't have time for this, Nightmare Moon is still causing eternal night, and we have to stop her." Twilight said pushing the others towards the door. Recless stopped her for a second, "If you will point me to the nonfiction section I will be ready to help you." He said pooling out a small orb from his necklace. After holding it for a few brief seconds there was a bright flash. What the ponies saw shocked them a little, all of his clothing had change. He was now garbed in a large white overcoat with gold played armor section on his shoulders and chest, long white pants, black leather boots, and upon his face a small pair of red circular glasses. A large book sat in his right hand and a staff, with what looked like 4 wings, on his back. As he opened his book he noticed the shocked looks on the ponies faces, a small smile formed as the book started to emit a yellow glow. After a second his hand started glowing green three small flashes popped into everyone's view, around Recless. He threw his hand out as three creatures appeared two fairies and a small golden fox. He looked back towards the ponies. "You all go a head it won't take me but thirty minutes to go through all the information, also I want you to take my carbuncle with you, she will lead me to you when I am done." As he gestured towards the small golden carbuncle, as it let out a purr and moved towards the group of ponies. Fluttershy was the first to respond. "Oooooooh you are just the cutest, here, you can ride on my back." She said as she placed the carbuncle on her back, as she turned back around she noticed all the strange looks she was getting. "What?" She asked as innocently as possible. Author's Note Just got back to o writing this. Will add more to this chapter at a later date. I'm trying to think if I should add the new classes that came with heavens Ward or just add most if not all the classes from ff series.
