Jamir's POV:
Darkness,all i could see was darkness, well best put my other senses to work and figure where in the sam hill i am.''let's see: hearing? i hear birds, subtle blowing of the wind: check:touch? i feel grass, really soft grass, alright, by process of elimination, i must be in a meadow somewhere.''ok, making progress'' i said''. and now now smell: the air smells so clean, and not gasoline filled.Well now that checks out, i can open my eyes.''whoa'' i say. this is beautiful, a lush green meadow near a forest with nice flowers, trees, and whatnot. but in the distance i thought i saw something that made me almost do a spit take, if i had water, that is. the thing before is something i sought to be made from myth in times of old. If my mythology serves me right, and i know it does, i'm face to face with a manticore. it had everything, from the scorpion tail to the lion mane. At that one moment i three choices: run and let it kill me, curl up in a ball and hope it leaves or my favorite option: wing it. ''Hey Frank, you might want see this!'' i said with no fear at all. ''ugh, what happened to-IS THAT A MANTICORE?!'' he said with a slight tinge of fear in his voice. ''yep, so what's your preferred method of attack with this?' i asked with a slight itch to fight.
''well these creatures have been known to quite the aggressor,quick as well, i would recommend going for stinger, since it will prove a bigger worry at the moment.'' he said in full lecture mode. ''well how would suggest me going about removing it without becoming string jerky?'' i joked. '' based on yours and the creatures's agility compared, the course would be-LOOK OUT!'' he shouted. i nearly and just barely dodged that humongous paw in the way that would have been my face. ''STAY ON YOUR TOES!'' he ordered. ''right!'' i dodge out of the way again and just as last time dodge another one of those paws. ''Man!, this thing's quicker than it looks!'' i complimented it even if it had no mind. ''I think i just found a way to end this'' frank said. ''how?'' i pleaded. ''this will be a very close call, so you need to stay on your toes as you have one shot.'' ''fine!, i got it, now what is it?'' i asked. strike the top of the head, this creature is merely a juvenile, so it's skull still be developing, a well placed hit can fracture the brain cause shock and internal bleeding which will lead to death.'' he explained. ''That's great and all, but how am i supposed to do it?'' i said seeing no real way to kill this thing.
''Think about it''. he said '' use the stinger against it to make kill itself.'' ''Got it!'' i said with glee. so i rushed at the beast with a plan that would do or die, and fortune enough i play to win.
while charging at the manticore, i had find a way to get off guard long enough for my plan to work, so i ran as fast as i could around it in the hopes of making it dizzy, and sure enough it worked. '' THE TIME HAS COME FOR YOU TO DIE!'' i yelled. just to add flare i did a cartwheel towards the manticore, while at the last second turning it into a series of back flips to land on it's head and if all went how i envisioned it, he would try and drive in his stinger in me and fail, like i called it. at the last second i jumped off, letting the sharp object penetrate the skull like butter. a roar was heard and thump and the beast fell over and perished by it's own hand, or paw so to speak. '' take that fido!'' i exclaimed of my victory while being pretty winded from all of that.
''Excellent execution, but the extras back flip of the creature was not needed'' Frank said, worried i would get hurt. ''Lighten up, Franks it's all in good spirit'' i said while feeling very proud i just took a creature of myth down, and by myself, no less.
afterwards i heard a sharp gasp from behind me and who do i see looking at me in fear? fluttershy of all ponies.
1st thought: '' well at least the question of where has been answered, now should i ask if she can understand me or let her do it?''
2nd thought:'' Oh holy hell, it's fluttershy, she's even more cute in person then i thought she would be! oh i just want to grab and hug her,i should get her autograph-wait they can't know about the show!''
3rd thought: ''ok... i just killed an animal in front of flutteshy, great thanks a lot world, not here one day and already some melarky to deal with, ugh, maybe i should frank take he's better at talking then i am.''
That's when she spoke i had chose: ''um, h-h-hello?, c-c-can you understand me?''Fluttershy said with absolute fear and hesitation.
