I began to head towards the edge of town, the only thoughts that went through my head was about which dog I'd get. I mean I want a Husky or a German Shepard, but things like in Akita or Corgies. A Corgy being just a smaller version of the Akita, I wouldn't do any hunting with a Corgy, but maybe the rest.

I also needed a dog because the only friends I have here have been residing in my head, I would also love to have something that actually was not going to get me into trouble. Although I could convince everyone that having voices in my head was normal for my world. I strolled around my hands in my pockets, minding my own buisness. I could do almost anything I wanted here, I could travel the world, well as long as I prevented that. But to prevent something that I have only the ending I need to fill the rest in. I need to find out who did it.

My thoughts were interrupted when I was further then I expected. "Excuse me, it's dangerous in there. Don't go in." A small feminine voice spoke quietly. Even though it wasn't that commanding my body refused to move. It was responding perfectly to the commands. I looked forward and realised that I was about to walk into the forest that I came out of when I first got here.

I turned slowly towards the voice. I now knew who it was and I didn't want to startle her. "Hi, Fluttershy. What are you doing here?" I asked awkwardly, I was about to walk into the forest and probably got myself killed before I knew it.

Fluttershy began to slightly hide behind her mane, she looked up a tiny bit. "I'm helping some of the animals." Fluttershy's smooth voice made anyone feel relaxed.

I almost didn't hear what she said but I just managed. "Ah, so you like animals? I like them too." I said kindly. I don't know why but I was completely acting out of my nature, but I couldn't stop myself.

She seemed to raise her head when I said that. "Really? What is your favourite animal?" She asked almost out of her personailty.

"My favourite type of animals are dog, from where I am we call them man's best friend because of all they do for us." I explained, at least we were on the same page. I had a feeling me and her could get along, we both loved animals so it would be simple getting along.

"Man's best friend?" She asked with her head slightly tiltled.

I guess it would take some time to get used to me talking about my world. "We call them man's best friend because they've practically been there since we humans were beggining. They would help us with surviving and help us and we would give them warmth and food." I explained simply as I could. For me and for her.

I'm guessing she was about to ask a question when something jumped out of the bush nearby scaring her shitless. I was back in my mindset. I tried to grab my knife but I remembered I left it at home. I looked around to see Fluttershy was practically out, I also so a manticore cub heading towards her.

I couldn't let it get to her. I ran towards it and grabbed it, it swiped it's scorpian tail at me. I only just managed to dodge it with only a scratch. Once I grabbed it by the scruff of it neck like a parent would it finally averted it's eyes to me. It looked at me as if it was sad, I could tell that something happened to upset it.

I hadn't noticed this until the adrenaline wore off but I was completely out of breath. Not of fear but I was slightly malnurished. I hadn't had any meat since I got here, in fact I've not had anything that I had in my diet before since I got here. Just a ton of apples and some lettuce.

Fluttershy woke up from her little slumber of fear and saw me like this. "Don't hurt it." She shouted practically running at me.

"Hurt it?" I inspected the cub and didn't see anything wrong. Just as Fluttershy got to me I realised what she meant. "I'm not hurting it, this is how it's mother would carry it. If anything it calms them down." Fluttershy came close to inspect it, the cub was purring a little bit. It seemed to be looking at me with eyes of a puppy begging for food, I knew what it wanted but I had naught me that could help it.

The cub started to paw at me lightly it claws were no longer bared. It was tapping my face with small paws. Fluttershy giggled lightly. "I think she likes you." She said kindly. I looked back at it, how could she tell it was female? I looked at it, it didn't seem to have the lions mane instead it looked more like a lioness.

I put the cub back on the floor and pushed it towards the bush. It didn't matter if she liked me, she had a mother that she needed to go back to. The cub stopped and looked back, it let out a small whine. It wasn't a whine of pain it was fear and sadness, something happened. "Fluttershy wait here with the cub." My voice was stern enough to make Fluttershy realise this was serious. She grabbed the cub lightly and started to stroke it.

I walked into the forest of death and looked around. From where I was there was only trees all around. I saw the bushes were slightly parted from where the cub had ran through. I followed the tracks until there was no more. I didn't have a clue which direction to walk in, if I walked the wrong way I could easily get lost.

As I was about to give up and walk back a foul stench surrounded the area, I also could tell which direction it was coming from. I walked towards it holding my hand over my nose to try to block it out.

The foul odor was coming from an open area, except the area looked as if it was forced open, the mud was all over the place and the trees were almost destoryed. In the middle was two figures, one was a human shaped figure. The person looked about the same size as me in build but if I had to say they let off a aura of blood lust. The other figure was across from me about the hole, it seemed to be a crooked shadow, none of the body parts seemed straight and all the bones looked as if they were twisted into shape. Whatever it was I knew it wasn't human. It was releasing something I only felt when the Princess grabbed me with telekenisis. It was horrifying, it felt evil.

When the two figures finally saw me, they directed their bloodlust at me, however the only attack they launched was crystals flying at me, they all ended up missing but made a good distraction. I shielded my face and lept back a bit. I ran back as soon as I could all I saw was the two fleeing. As the cloaked figure fleed his sleeve was blown up by the wind, showing his left hand. It was fully crystal, a red one.

The pressure I felt in my chest was raising by the second, until they got out of my sight it did this. Once they got it completely dissapeared. I took a deep breath and calmed my nerves. That was dangerous. I inspected the land around me and something managed to catch my eyes. It was the manticore, a female adult that had been murdered. It was deep in the hole that they made, it had multiple crystals sticking out of it's legs and body.

I ran over to it and checked it's breathing, it was weak. I also checked it's heatbeat, which was slowing. The manticore didn't bother attacking me, it seemed to know it's fate.

The heatbeat slowly grinded to a stop and the manticore closed it's eyes. it had died. I pulled one of the crystals out of the ground nearby and inspected it. A burning feeling came from my chest and the shirt I had on was now light up. I brought the crystal close to my chest and touched my element with it. As I did the crystal was absorbed and I saw a flash of the manticore being murdered.

First the person who did it raised up the crystal hand and it light up, he then raised the other hand and shot at the manticore multiple times. After a couple of shots the person looked up at a figure that was just a silhouette. "Very good." The figure spoke it had a male human voice but wasn't human at all. A couple of seconds after that the person heard a bush rattling and the flashback stopped.

"The fuck?" I asked. I puched the ground nearby. "What the fuck, that guy was an Element of Chaos! What is he doing here?" Nothing was going to get me an answer. What I really wanted to know was who was the other figure and how were they using magic, they are humans. That's what brought me back to the flashback. I remebered he raised his crystal hand and it light up. It was like an activation, all I had to do was activate the Element on my own and I could do it.

But the question was how? I shook my head, it would take time to learn how to so I had to try before the person came back if he would. I stood up I needed to get back to Fluttershy and the cub. The cub now had no parents so I decided I would take care of it. I also decided I was going to learn these techniques so I could fight against the person who did that easier.

"What the hell! Why is he here? Out of all people." The person in the cloak said to the figure and they ran away. They were leaping on tree branches to get away. "I thought you said there wasn't anyone that would be important to me here!" He said accusingly.

"I cannot control that, the Element of Chaos pick the best choice for them. He must have been the best choice for that Element." The figure defended himself. "It doesn't matter anyway, you will either have to kill him or recruit him or my plan wont work." The figure had a good point in his own mind.

The cloacked person turned around with a round house kick, he hit the figure away with immense power. "Don't you dare even make killing him a choice!" He growled.

The figure struggled to get up he was in the sunlight. He seemed to be a mix and match of a lot of animals. Like the Frankenstein of animals. "Well if he is on the Elements of Harmony's side then he will be a problem. His Element is too powerful to let him face us."

"DISCORD! He will come to our side, even if I have to force him." The cloacked person was now gritting his teeth. "I know we will be together forver."

Author's Note

Ok so this chapter doesn't resemble the chapter name even a bit, but I needed to put this chapter in to make this story get anywhere soon. But I still hope you enjoyed this chapter.
