Piercing Eyes
2. doubled the fun has indeed been... (unedited)
Previous ChapterNext ChapterDavid woke up in what appeared to be the woods, his head hurt, and his body felt strange. He sat up and looked around, he couldn't see anything except trees and foliage in every direction. He then noticed something gray just barely poking out at the bottom of his field of vision. He lifted his hand to touch it, but when he did, he noticed it wasn't a hand...
…
…
…
A hoof?
He looked at the hoof, now sitting in front of him for a few moments, before turning to look at the rest of his new body. He was a gray stallion with a strong, slim, build. He had a black, medium length, mane, with red highlights and his bangs covering his right eye, all of it styled like one would expect from a gentleman (gentlecolt?) His tail was the same color scheme and he could only assume, was styled the same way, seeing as how he had no knowledge of pony tail-styles. All four hooves were present and accounted for. He also had what appeared to be a tribal style cutie mark of an Ouroboros wrapped around a yin-yang on his flank.
His thoughts stopped for a moment before repeating the last one. Cutie mark… at this his eyes shot open with realization. Wait, a cutie mark? But that means…
…
Most people would have screamed… they would have ran around freaking out about how they had changed, about how they were in a new body, or a new world for that matter. They would have ran, and stumbled, and eventually either died, or done something stupid…
Instead, he laughed… he laughed, and laughed, and laughed. It wasn't a laugh of madness, nor one used for covering up pain, no, this laugh was wondrous. Joy, elation, and pure unadulterated happiness, as though all of his dreams had come true! THAT, is what this laugh was! There was also, however, something wrong, something dark, or sinister. Like what you might find in a laugh one might expect from an evil mastermind whose plan had just worked flawlessly. He knew exactly where he was, and his body trembled with excitement.
He ended his laughter and got up onto all four hooves before trotting as though this was how he had naturally walked all his life, he figured it had to do with some form of passive magic. He proceeded to canter over to a puddle before leaning over to look at his reflection so that he could see his facial features. He had a narrow snout like that of Soarin from the Wonderbolts, his eyes were red, resembling princess Celestia’s in shape. Though, his pupils were more narrow and reptilian than one might consider normal.
“Ouroboros” he said, beginning to analyze the picture now on his flank “A dragon or serpent who comes around and bites its own tale, it appears to be gripping the yin-yang with its front and back legs, it has wings making it a western, it also appears to have red eyes. I don’t appear to have wings, but I do have a horn, so I guess that means I'm a unicorn… also-”
He stopped when he realized something he hadn't before… “My voice changed…” he said thinking aloud, though he didn't seem too surprised, he then began to sing a common vocal warm up “Doe, Ray, Me, Fa, So, La, Tee, Doe… hmm, interesting…” he said, putting a hoof to his chin in thought before adopting a large grin “I sound just like Sebastian… Ha!” he was ecstatic at the thought of sounding like his favorite anime character.
After some thought he decided on what to do next and looked straight ahead. at this point he had donned a face he was used to using when dealing with anyone other than James back on earth, essentially his eyes looked closed but were actually open just enough for him to see, as well as a large (some might say creepy) smile.
“Alright now to find-” he was cut off as searing pain shot through his head, he fell to the ground writhing in pain, only able to make small noises due to the amount of agony he felt. As the pain ended he got back up.
“What was that?” he said, shaking his head so as to clear his mind. After a few seconds of thought, his eyes widened before he closed them again and smiled wickedly. “Oh, this is going to be even better than I thought…”
Author's Note
still no editor, but because Necro Fox asked for it, I put out another chapter. I know there are some mistakes and that it doesn't quite read correctly, but till I get an editor (or the time to do it myself) it's staying that way.
P.S.
will be posting several chapters today so as to better introduce the main character, and introduce the main six.
