The Element of Honor!

This was a terrible idea! Do you know what it feels like to have sapient creature like Unicorns and Pegasus call you a monster. Yeah it's offensive; I don't have a FUCKING horn like they do. I'm not even acting a tad suspicious. I'm walking down the street minding my own fucking business. Albeit only a few of them called me monster, some avoided me, and everything else just fucked off in a direction i'm pretty sure was near the centre of town. I swear if they bring rakes and sticks that are of fire, I'll put every last bastard down.

Now I and Lyra are walking down an empty street on Ponyville, which I declared now Nothing town. Literally everything was packed up when they heard Frankenstein's monster was coming to town. Again I'm not surprised by this kind of stuff. However I am surprised by how they haven't shot me yet,or captured me to do tests. That’s what America would do. ' Murica!' I thought to myself. This walk is beginning to get downright morbid. "Am I really that ugly?" I asked as a joke, knowing I could very well look ugly here. Like One Eyed Willy Ugly.

She looked at me, and then put a smile on. "Not necessarily, but intimidating." She said, reassuringly, until I heard the words. I began asking myself why I would be intimidating. Me of all people, I'm scrawny, which I'm trying to fix hence the hunting. The thing is I'm not Intimidating in my world; not a chance, but this alien world seems to think of me like that.

I need the answer. No I need the solution. I need to fix this before it gets any worse. Before I start getting mobs after me. So instead of the cliché 'Why am I intimidating?' question, I asked this "Who runs this place?" No I wasn't about to go kill a King, take over the land and then start working these mules to death. Although that would be boring anyway, and would hurt countless innocent. The thought crossed my mind, but as one of them 'This is a stupid idea, it'll never work' things. So pushing that to one side, I decided to have a nice chat with the ruler, well a local ruler first.

She looked at me with disbelief for a second, then she had the 'Oh right, alien!' look on her face then she answered me. "Ah that would be Princess Celestia and Princess Luna." I was about to face palm at these 'Incredible' names. Not even going to question those names.

I decided I would start small, and stay away from them shit names. "Any local?" I asked hoping for someone to be local.

She looked forward a second before starting to take a detour. "Yeah, her name is Mayor Mare." She said quietly, it was obvious now where she was going. I know another bad name; it's pretty decent for a mayor that is a pony though (If it's female)

The walk was mostly silent from Lyra's end, my end, not so much. I was humming the theme of Skyrim hoping my journey could be a bit like that. Hell no, I wasn't going home yet. It was likely that I couldn't go home. I knew this, so I’m going on a journey while I’m here. I don't know what, but i'm hoping it will be like Indiana Jones mixed with Skyrim and Pirates of the Caribbean. Find treasure, kick ass and go home. While I was too busy in my fantasies I wasn't busy enough watching the road. I walked into someone and because they were half my size I had a hard time NOT tripping over them. I felt pain in my nose, but what'd I expect for the floor to bend around my face. I picked myself up and apologized to the Pegasus that was on the floor. She had a spectrum mane with a pastel blue coat. I held my hand out to her expecting her to grab it, but instead she just swatted it away. "I don't need help from a Minotaur!" She spat.

Ouch! I just got offended by the poster child of gay rights. "That wasn't very nice." I said with a smirk at the lesbian looking pony.

She put on a death glare and threw another insult: "I don't wanna hear that from a monster."

Oh she did it now! She pissed off the wrong human today. At the perfect moment my stomach showed me the wonder of life. 'Oh thank you, Hunger Gods!' I thought to myself. I took a deep intake of air and got ready for this. "You know that sound, what should I have today? Maybe brains, oh I'm so hungry I could eat a horse." That last bit slipped out of my mouth unintentionally. Shit. It did the job, her eyes shrivelled to pinpricks and she flew away as fast as she could with fear stiffening her up.

I heard a giggle behind me. "Never saw that before." Lyra actually sounded surprised. Why was she so scared? I'm a fucking dumbass; I was smiling like a maniac all the way through. So that meant I was bearing my fangs. Well it worked, so...I had something to sort out later. The air suddenly became solemn, "You don't eat horses though, and yeah I noticed the teeth. But you don't, do ya?"

I chuckled for a second, I was about to turn it into a crazy maniac laugh. I thought that would be cruel so I didn't. "Nah, I'm an omnivore. I do eat meat, but it's taboo to eat things like horses." I said factually, yes I'm a nerd so I pretty much know everything. And I'm a bit arrogant, but hey if you're the best, show it off. Okay a lot arrogant. "I'm gonna have to say sorry to her, aren't I?" I asked already knowing the answer.

Lyra responded the way anybody would. "Yeah, pretty much. You can do it at the Summer Sun Celebration!" She looked at me again and continued. "It's in two days by the way." We continued walking to the Mayor’s office just talking about things that didn't really matter like hobbies. Once we made it to the offices we went to the reception.

The receptionist was looking down at her sheet. "Hello, do you have an appointm-ahhhhhhhhhh!" She looked very shocked and she was shaking.

I decided to mess with the mares head. This was gonna be funny. I just screeched like a ape and got into a ape stance. She seemed to calm down for a second before talking. "Oh, thank Celestia, ma'am why do you have a hairless monkey in here?" She asked Lyra.

Lyra was about to argue when I said/shouted. "Hey, I'm not a monkey." She fainted in that instant.

I started to laugh;hard, but Lyra gave me a disappointed look. "Not making it any easier!" She scolded. I hung my head mockingly and made a sad monkey screech. She sighed angrily and walked towards the Mayors office. I laughed again so much that I got a stitch. Damn my humour. When we got into the room we were met with a normal pony with a grey mane. As soon as she saw me it looked as if her brain completely stopped. Lyra decided to start since I wasn't particularly chatty at the moment. "Hello, my friend needs to talk to you for a moment." It looked as if the mare started to respond to her brains commands again.

Oh, shit. I never planned on what I was going to say. Lyra coughed to get my attention. "Uh... hello. Can you prepare a town meeting soon? I need to talk about, well me being an alien to this place." I muttered. Well that could of gone better.

Mayor Mane seemed to agree with that idea. "Yeah, I think that will be for the best." She got out some sort of schedule and asked. "When do you want to do it?" She still sounded a bit nervous, once she seen I'm slightly civilized she must have calmed down.

When did I want to do it? Well as soon as possible really. "When is the earliest time I can do it?" I asked.

She looked at her schedule. "Two days, is that alright?" She was looking for confirmation. Two days away, that was the Summer Sun Celebration. Well I guess it's a better time than any other.

"Yeah, that’s good." I said, from what I heard from Lyra it was quite popular, so I was sure I get more peop-ponies on my side if I seemed safe there. We had done our task here so I could go to Lyra's house now. "Well, I guess were done here. Thank you for not completely freaking out." I said with a little bow that I saw often in animes, which got me a giggle of the mares. Mayor Mare waved good bye and we went off finishing Chapter One of my quest.

This week might not be as bad as I originally thought.
