The tale of a lone human
Chapter 3: I hate show offs... So much.
Previous Chapter"What's going on here?" I asked myself. What I saw was a stage set up in the middle of town, the curtains were purple and flaked with stars, which reminded me of Foxy's Pirate Cove, I grinned at the thought of a metal fox running around town. My eye noticed firework launchers that were hidden behind said curtains, probably to make it seem like magic, I instantly knew what was going on now.
"BEHOLD, THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE!!!" A mare yelled as smoke appeared onto the stage for around 2 seconds, when it faded a blue unicorn with a lighter blue mane and tail was standing there, but the best part was her apperal, she wore a cloak and a hat like the curtains.
'Don't laugh don't laugh don't laugh...' I repeated in my mind over and over again, I could feel sweat dripping from my face, just trying to hold back all the laughter in me, but the next thing I saw was the firework launchers being lit off, and then before you knew it, I was on the ground laughing my ass off.
Trixie was taken aback by my outburst of laughter, "What's so funny? Is it that you cannot hope to compete against the great and powerful TRIXIE!?" She yelled again, lighting off more fireworks, trying to act scary.
"K-keep going... I need the laugh... Your fucking hilarious.." I said between breaths, I was still recovering from the laughter when I noticed those mares that saved me back in that blasted forest. 'Hm.. Might go back there and map it out...' I thought as they started getting into an arguement with Trixie. I was brought back when I saw the white unicorn running off with a green mane, complaining about how ugly it looked.
"Does anyone else want to go against the great and powerful Trixie!?" Trixie yelled out, scanning the crowd before her, seeing if anyone dared challenge her, until she felt her hat being taken off, "Who dares touch the grat and power Trixie's hat!" She yelled as she spun around.
"I dare, and I just did." I said, grinning and showing the fangs I got from becoming part wolf, "I could use a challenge, since I'm lacking excitement right now." I walked on the stage for a moment before spinning around to face Trixie, "I challenge you to do as you said you could. Vanquish an Ursa Major." I stated and grinned as I saw her face fall, "Or are you to scared?"
"What!? The great and powerful Trixie is not scared of an Ursa Major! It is highly unlikely one will even come here!" Trixie yelled out, earning some murmering throughout the crowd.
All I did was grin, "Oh you'll see... Eventually that you cannot handle the challenge I set for you." I yawned out, jumping off the stage and stalking past everyone. "Good luck asshole, you'll need it!" I yelled back to her then continued my way back to the library to make myself a sandwich.
The Ursa Minors roar shattered the quiet and peaceful night as it stomped towards Ponyville, I sat upon the balcony, grooming my tail and watching the scene play out. "Perhaps I'll go with Twilight and see this for myself." I spoke, hopping off the balcony and next to Twilight, who jumped at my landing.
"What are you doing Seth?" Twilight asked me with some concern, thinking that I would be stupid enough to take on the Ursa Minor on my own.
"I'm coming with you, I want to see this myself." I said to Twilight who lead the way towards where the dumbass show off was cowering, I grinned at the fear on her face and used the shadows to get behind her quietly.
"H-H-HELP!!" Trixie screamed out as the Ursa Minor lumbered towards her, Twilight took position in front of her and readyed her magic.
Twilight felt the spell she was casting draining her magic immensely, but it was for a good cost at saving the town, she had gotten the Ursa Minor to fall asleep using music from the reeds and a large water tower of milk, afterwards she levitated the Ursa Minor to its cave again, setting it down then ending the spell.
"RAH!" I yelled out, leaping from the shadows behind Trixie, who in hence screamed from the shock of me appearing from nowhere, I just chuckled and said, "You couldn't beatthe challenge Trixie. Not like you ever would have." I said, looking over to Twilight who had her friends with her, "Tell her why Twi."
"Well, that was not an Ursa Major... That was an Ursa Minor." Twilight stated, earning a lot of confused looks and what's from the gathered ponies, "And it wasn't on a rampage, it was upset somepony woke it up from its sleep." She finished, glaring at the two unicorn colts who tried to sneak off.
I just shrugged and walked off back to the library. By the time Twilight had gotten back I had already made her some food and tea and was already up in my bedroom, grooming my tail. I heard a knock on the door. "Who's there?" I called out.
"It's Twilight, can I come in?" Twilight asked from the other side of the door.
"Yea, come on in." I responded as Twilight opened the door and sat next to me in my bed. "What did you need Twilight? What fogs that intelligent brain of yours?" I ask Twilight.
"Um.. Why did you act as you did to Trixie back there?" Twilight asked me with a hint of sadness in her voice.
"She was a show off and a loud mouth, two things I despice, so I took action." I awnsered, not looking up from my tail. I did look up when I felt Twilight hug me.
"You've been through a lot getting settled here Seth, please don't get yourself hurt ok? I still need to introduce you to the others properly." Twilight told me kindly.
"Ok ok ok... I pinkie promise not to get myself killed." I stated to Twilight, who smiled and let go of me, jumping off my bed and headed to the door.
"Well, goodnight Seth!" Twilight said happily as she lightly closed my door, carful not to make to much noise and wake Spike up.
I sighed and layed down onto my bed, before I fell asleep I summerised what happened today quickly through my head, 'Today was something else that's for sure...' I thought to myself, letting out a yawn, 'Perhaps I should get some sleep to..' I thought, letting myself fall into the dream realm.
