Chapter 3: What You Don't Know Will Kill You.

I grown as I rub my head in pain god damn crazy shit, why do I feel like someone hit me on the head with a hammer.  I also didn't like the josling from side to side ever, what the heck is going on wait are we moving?

After opening my eyes the first thing I see is a gray cloudy sky, why can't the weather be nice to day. I then look down and see I'm in the back of a wagon of some kind. There was bags of stuff on my left side I had no idea what was in them but I didn't feel like finding out.

And on my right side were long wooden poles with some kind of tarp on them, if I had to guess they were parts for the tent's I saw before. Fuck me they tried to kill me, I sit up only for the world to spin and I lay back down on the soft pillow that was under my head. Ya I'm not getting up again any time soon.

Wait, what was my head resting on anyway? I felt a migraine coming on as I lay there and look up into the face of a blue eyed smiling german shepherd, what?. "Hallo I was starting to worry you'd never wake up" She said in a happy tone.

The shepherd was talking to me and it voice sounded female her fur was both golden brown and a light shade of black. "Here let me help you up." I find myself slowly being pushed back up in order to sit up better. "Now just hold still I need to make sure you didn't hit your head when you and the others passed out." Said the Shepherd as I felt her paws on the back of my head.

I didn't really know what to do or say so I just sit there and let the shepherd do her work. She must be some kind of diamond dog but unlike the small legged big armed dog's of the show she looked more like a furry. But I was more interested with who was pulling the wagon or what.

To put it bluntly it was not a pony, It was some kind of large lizard with large plates all over it back and tail, it tail moved lazily from side to side as it walked. It looked like someone took some random rocks and put them all over this thing back, the only word I can think of to call it was a dinosaur…

"What that?" I ask pointing at the large reptile pulling us along, she stop looking me over then look at the dinosaur. She give me a look that I can tell she not sure what I mean. "That a Bulgoun we just call them land beasts, they live all over the island. So I guess it true what that Maggabl guy said... You really have amnesia huh." She said sounding sympathetic.

I just blink at her, Maggabl said I have amnesia? wait this is a good thing this way I can cover up how I don't know how things work here by saying I have amnesia. Good thinking Mag. Something tell me I owe you one, maybe two or three. "Ya I woke up in some kind of underground city and didn't know where I was, then I met Maggabl who then took me in."

I said rubbing the back of my head as i turn to face her. It wasn't really a lie, more of a half truth. Mag did indeed let me into his shop. "Oh I'm sorry to hear that you lost all your memories." The shepherd diamond dog said who looked really upset about all this. Great now I feel guilty about not telling her the truth but what could I say?

Hey nice to meet you I'm an alien from another planet, ya like that would work. "Hey come on don't get upset, I mean if I can't remember stuff then there nothing to be sad over right?" I say trying to cheered her up it was not working, she just looked at me sadly as if she was about to cry. "Say how about Introductions, my name is Ragnarok. What yours?" I say and hold out my hand in the hope she would take it. Oh please don't start crying, I hope to myself.

After a sniff and her rubbing one of her eyes, she take my hand and smiles. "I'm Sarah of the water paws, it nice to meet you." Sarah said with smile as she take my hand then shake it, I smile back and then look around at my surroundings.

We were surrounded by woodlands it wasn't as cold as it was before but there was light snow everywhere. I look at the tree's and see if I can find any wildlife like bird's or squirrels with no luck there. But something was bugging me, I just could not put my finger on it say where was all my stuff?

"Umm Sarah where are all my things?" I asked as I got this nagging feeling in the back of my head. "Oh! that right, your things are in the other wagon with the children." I just blink at her as she say this. "Is that safe?" I asked a little worried.

I mean I don't know how they do things here but the idea of having kids around a spiky shield and a sword that can cut a large spider's open was not a good thing. "Don't worry they know full well not to be playing around with things like swords and the like. If they did I'd have to give them a good lecture." She said as she looks into a bag.

Sarah smiles as she looks over the side and leans out as if looking at something. I was curious so I did the same, boy this cavern was a lot bigger than I thought it was. I thought it was just me, Lightning, Mag, the diamond dog that hit me, the minotaur Eron, The kids and now Sarah.

There was a large number of ponies, three of them were as big as horses. One griffon and three diamond dog's including sarah and bruiser, the other diamond dog I had no idea who he was but I could see him from here. But unlike Bruiser who fur was gray the other diamond dog fur was a dark brown.

I could also see three unicorn's one of them being Lightning Dust who was walking next to the other wagon with the small group of kids I saw before sitting in the wagon. I then saw two pegasus, one was leading the big, Bulgoun? I hope I remember that right. He was big and had white and brown fur, his mane and tail was a light brown. His wings looked like they had some kind of armor on them.

No idea why? and the other pegasus was a dark green with a red mane and tail. He looked more like the ponies from the show just like Dust. He had what looked like a spear on his back. and the last 4 were all earth ponies, only two of them were like the large pegasus only without the wings. But one thing was the same out of all of them, it was not there fur color or that they were wearing armor. But every last one of them was armed to the teeth, they all had some kind of weapon on them.

As worrying as this was in total everyone numbered to twenty one, that was a large number just to be walking anywhere. I look to the female diamond dog with worry I made it clear that I wanted to know what was going on. "Why everyone have weapon's?" I asked as I get cunfarbul.

She looked at me with kindness in her blue eyes as if a mother looking to her children. But before she can say anything we hear a earth shattering roar, all I saw before I turned around was something big and gray with wild white hair before the wagon got flipping over and my world got turned upside down.

What was that!? was the first thought that came into my head. Before I knew it I heard the screams and roars of chaos that was happening outside from where I was under the overturned wagon. "Where Sarah?" I say out loud as I look around the small space of the overturned wagon and to see from under one ot it railings was a paw, more than that it was a foot.

“Oh shit!” I yell to myself as I quickly get out from under there. Only to find everyone else fighting, they was fighting some kind of raptor's. But they looked nothing like the forest raptor's Dust told me about. Then I remember what Dust said before, about the difference kinds of raptor's that lived on this inland.

These raptor's were called snow wraith's they had gray skin with black markings. They also had white fur along their back and legs, With a white mean around it neck like a lion they also didn't have beaks.

It took me seconds to remind myself that someone was trapped under the wagon, in my panic I quickly got to the other side and saw the diamond dog was holding her leg in pain. "you okay!?" I yell in fear as I go up to her.

"I-It my leg!, I-I think it broken!" I look to where her leg was trapped and saw her leg was bent at an angle under the side of the wagon. I also saw blood on the ground where her leg is trapped now the adrenaline was kicking in.

My mind was thinking three times faster than before, well more like rushing to think of something to get me out of this. I remembered seeing the tent poles from before, I quickly looked around the wagon in the hopes of finding what I was looking for. Lucky me some of the pole's were in one pace however some were broken in two.

I picked up one that I thought was strong enough, I ran back to Sarah and james one end under the wagon and rest it on my thigh then looked down at her. "I'm going to try and left this thing up when I say three I want you to try and pull your leg out okay!" I didn't mean to yell at her but I was panicking.

There was fighting going on all around us and the Shepherd would most likely get hurt if I didn't do something. "Okay One..." I said as I get a good grip on the pole as I get my footing. "Two..." I could hear some yelling coming from Bruiser, I didn't pay much mind to it I was more focused on getting her out from under their!.

"Three!" I I yelled then pushed down on the pole that was on my leg it only now that I can feel the true weight of just how heavy this wagon was. I was fearing my leg would break before I could get her out the pain I felt was hell!, It felt like my arms would fall off or my leg would snap. "I'm out!" I heard her yell.

And I let the wagon drop back down with a sigh in relief, I thought ever the wooden pole or my leg would give out. I look at Sarah leg and saw that under her ankle was her broken instep. Good news was it looked like a clean break. Bad news was there was more yelling than before, I got one of Sarah arms around me and helped her up to her good leg. And looked around, we needed somewhere safe anywhere!?

I look back at the wagon it was the only safe place that I could think of. "Get under the wagon!" I tell Sarah as I let her down and she start to crawl under the wagon I take one last look around then saw one of the Snow Wraiths was running down a unicorn. Shit what do I do, what do I do!? My mind was racing with both fear and adrenaline.

Should I hide under the wagon with Sarah? or should I try and help them fight? I saw the unicorn stallion fall over as he was running, At least I think he was a he by the way he was yelling. The stallion turns and was trying to fight back with what looked like a club.

Only to miss and for the snow wraith to bite into one of his forward legs. My heart was pounding in my chest as I start to walk forward, wait why am I moving? I was slowly picking up speed as I start to run stop, I need to think! My body was moving on it own as all I can hear was my heartbeat in my ear's.

What the hell going on!?, I hold the wooden pole to one side of my body as I make a mad dash over to them. Fuck this is crazy!?!, I don't want to lose control again and not know what happens. I think as I was getting closer and closer. I could see my vision was starting to darken, I was just about to take a swing at it. Before I felt something bite into my shoulder and throw me across the snow covered field.

My vision snapped back to what it was before also everything looked a bit brighter and then I felt the sharp pain in my left shoulder. I slowly pick myself up from the snow and look to my arm to find blood was running down my arm. My blood, I'm bleeding? I look up and saw another Snow Wraith.

Unlike the other raptor's it looked different, older, scar's on it body and had one of it arms missing. This wasn't like the others, it was a veteran of the wild's. Like an old lion or tiger that lived all it life in the wilderness with a leg missing. Then in turn was hunted and survived to be honest I was in awe of it…

But then I remember the pain in my shoulder and stand up slowly as it stare at me. Then I heard a loud screech, I turned and saw the Snow Wraith that was attacking the unicorn was now on it side being stabbed to death by the green pegasus with it spear. Before flying off to help someone else as the unicorn was limping off.

Oh shit… I thought as I turn back to the old Snow Wraith who did not take it eyes off of the hurt unicorn. "RUN!" I yell at him in the hopes he can get away but it was already too late. The older Snow Wraith shot off like a rocket, by the time the unicorn heard me and turned to see what was wrong. It was already halfway to him, I try and find the wooden pole I had before.

I lost it when I was thrown into the snow the snow was a good foot deep and was not helping!, by the time I look back up after not finding it I saw the unicorn was dead... He had his throat torn open the old raptor maw was covered in blood as it scaled lips peel back showing off it sharp teeth.

I'm going to die... I'm really going to die here aren't I? I think to myself as it slowly turn to face me as three other Snow Wraith's ran over and start to feed on the dead unicorn, there was blood everywhere... I think I'm going to be sick but what do I do?

I am fucking scared out of my mind right now I mean I'm about to be killed by a fucking dinosaur! I need something, anything to fight with. I look to the road that the wagon was on before it was flipped over. I then noticed something on the road, a large green something on the road.

That when I saw it my sword and shield half buried in the snow on the road. What were they doing there?, but more importantly where are the others. I didn't have time to think about this I had to get away from this... Veteran. Then I had an idea a stupid idea but there was no harm in trying right?

I try and remember what Mag told me about magic, I was going over every word in my head as I slowly back away. I need to remember the words what were the words.

Fine then but I'll give you some advice,

It then I stop I then start to remember Thor words... But why, what did he say why am I thinking of them now? The Snow Wraith was slowly walking up to me eyeing me up and down. Most likely working out the best way to kill me without a fight, Thor was trying to tell me something. Or my mind was trying to remember.

Fine then but I'll give you some advice, When you're trying to use magic-

When I'm using magic what, what!, what!?, WHAT!?! Common I need this right now!, it was getting closer now as I was trying to think harder. I could now see it eyes they were a bright red almost like blood. Come on brain work faster here we're on a deadline right now!

Fine then but I'll give you some advice, When you're trying to use magic think of or say the word-

What the fucking word! I'm going to die before I can figure out what he said. The old Snow Wraith hunch it back as it get ready to attack, it lips peel back showing off it teeth again. It almost looked like it was smiling.

say the word-

And just like that It jumped into the air claws out ready to dig into my flesh and teeth ready to take my life. At that very moment I remembered, I hold out both hands and arms out at the old Snow Wraith. Then close my eyes and yell at the top of my lungs with no idea what will happen next, only hope that one word would save me...

"FULGUR!"

There was an explosion of light and sound, next thing I knew I was on the snow laying on my back feeling like shit and a ringing in my ear's. With no idea how much time had past. My arm's felt like lead weights, when I try and lift one of my arms to rub my head. I didn't even get my hand off the ground before the muscles in my arm screams with pain!

Ya... I'm not getting up anytime soon wait. What happened to that thing? I thought as I try to sit up as best I can even with both arms burning with pain. Odd thing was my arm's looked fine and I couldn't feel my finger's. Then I saw the old Snow Wraith…

"Holy crap..." I knew I said holy crap but I could not hear my voice, or anything really. My ear's were still ringing the Snow Wraith chest looked like it exploded, like when you don't poke hole's in a sausage then cook it in the microwave for too long. I just felt ill looking at it and, oh god was that it lung sticking out of it ribs.

I just close my eyes and lay back down in the snow I don't want to know... A shadow cast over me and I saw the brown diamond dog with what looked like a crossbow in his paws. It looked like he was saying something but I couldn't hear, I just sigh as I lay there. Next thing I know he get in front of me, then grabs me by the collar and start what I guess was yelling at me.

I just can't help but roll my eyes at him. "I can't hear you." That didn't seem to work his mouth was still moving so I guess I'll try yelling. "I said, I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" That made him let go of my collar then covers his ears. But I made myself stay sitting up, I didn't want to lay back down with my arms still in pain and my back was starting to get wet and cold from the snow.

Good news was I was starting to feel my fingers again, bad news was they hurt like hell. After the Diamond Dog stop covering his ears he looked like he was trying to ask me something, he kept pointing at the wagon. It then hit me what he wanted to know. "You want to know where Sarah is!" I asked he then started to nod his head like crazy, he must be her boyfriend or something.

"She under the wagon her leg hurt but she alive." After saying that he take off running to the up side down wagon, wait... It then I realized I could not get up by myself. "Wait come back!, I can't get up!" I don't think he cared if he heard me I guess I could understand. He was more worried about Sarah then some rat man he know nothing about... Ass. I think to myself as I lay back into the snow.

Then another shadow cast over me and when I turn to look at who it was this time. What I saw was a large horse in full armor, covered in blood and to top it all off had some kind of large blade on it helmet. Fuck me I'm really going to die this time... Again.

The horse head bobs up and down as he looks down at me, I could also see his lips move from the opening in his helmet. I guess he's talking but what I don't know however the ringing in my ears has stopped and now I'm just hearing a low buzzing. This is getting annoying, next thing I knew I was being picked up then was put over the armored horse back.

Once I'm up there and I can see that mostly everyone was okay, apart from that unicorn who died... I see Bruiser was looking over the body. Dust was what looked like talking to the Green Pegasus and Sarah was being helped up by the brown diamond dog who had his crossbow over his back with a worried look on his mug.

I slowly look up at the horse in armor as it picked up my sword and shield by a leather strap in his mouth. I was tired I just wanted all this to be over and sleep, I look back the way we came and could see the tower from before. It only now I can get a good look at it in more detail.

At the very top is some kind of large stone ball with some kind of magic lights moving all around it. Under that was some kind of opening it wasn't that large, maybe some kind of stone window's?

But a bit lower from that it looked like some kind of gold trimming?, I have no idea but under that was what looked like black iron. This tower give me a bad feeling I looked back to the others Dust and the Pegasus were looking over the dead unicorn, my guess giving him their last rights or saying their goodbye's... The Diamond Dog was taking care of Sarah leg. Where was Bruiser I think as I look around then at the dead raptor's and... Oh god he was skinning one of them.

I looked away as Bruiser was doing his... Work. It then Dust, the Pegasus, Sarah and the Diamond Dog who name I don’t know walked over. Bruiser with his new skin pelt, walks over to the dead Snow Wraith that I guess I killed. He looks at it then at me, he then go down on to one knee and cut off one of the Snow Wraith toe claws.

Before walking over to me I was so tired I couldn't even look up at him and then with pelts under one arm, also in his other paw was the claw. I couldn't hear what he said but he hands me the claw…

I didn't understand what this meant, so even with the pain in my arms and hands I took it from him. Then we all start moving, I just lay there resting thinking to myself I just lay there limp on the horse back as it walked. Probably talking with the Pegasus and Dust and so I rest.

I didn't know how much time had past but there was this one thing worrying me. On the road we didn't find the wagon or the others, but we did find their tracks with something else following them. Something big I think the others were not trying to show their worries but I was looking at the ground the most out of all of them, and seeing the large foot prints in the snow didn’t give one great confidence.

Then we stop I look off to the side and see why, it was the large Pegasus. Or what left of him... We slowly walk past then I get a really good look at the body or should I say the only thing left of the body, only one wing in armour was all that was left of him... There was frozen blood on the snow but there was no body. He could still be alive, maybe?

I didn't want to think about what happened to the rest of him. I then look at the claw in my hand, with most of it toe and skin still attached to it. I just look at it not really getting why Bruiser gave me this thing anyway. Still the pain in my arms has stopped, guess I should walk from now on.

We or should I say they kept walking on tell the group stop again, I couldn't see way they stop but they all slowly started to walk around something. I try and lift my head over to see but only once they walk back on to the road did I get a good looked at it and saw. It was a crushed body, all I could see from it was red and one blue hoof sticking out of the ground. I didn't look back after that…

We walked a bit further and sported what looked like an old camp, not a very good looking one mind you. It looked like someone set it all up then left everything behind and let it rot, then I hear Dust voice. Hay my hearing back yay.

"We should stop here and rest, okay then Traver take care of Sarah and the rat. Comet and Payday look over this camp and see if you can find anything useful, me and Bruiser will keep a look out." I had no idea who Payday or Comet was but I think the diamond dog who was helping Sarah must of been Traver.

I saw Dust and Bruiser walk a little ways away and keep a lookout both ways on the road.

I was put down onto a wooden log along with my stuff next to me. Then saw Traver put Sarah down next to me on the log with a bag by her side, being careful not to hit her hurt leg. "Right then take off your shirt and let me look at your bite." Sarah said as I sat up.

I do as she say as painful as it was to move my shoulder, I think some my cuts was sticking to the shirt thanks to the dry blood. Once I get it off I get a good look at the inside of that shirt. It was covered in blood on both sides there was no way I was putting that back on. I just look at the shirt with the small holes where the teeth went in as the Sarah was doing something to the bite mark on my back.

It felt like she was rubbing something into the cut's, it hurt but I had to trust she knew what she was doing. "Alright let's look at your chest." She said as I turn around without even thinking wait shouldn't I hide my eyes? I think then saw she didn't even pay me any mind as she worked. I saw she was rubbing some kind of, wait is that slime?... "What is that stuff?" I asked as she was starting to rub it into the cuts. Sarah looks up at me and smiles at me as her ears go up. "Do you really want to know." She asked as she get out what look like bandages.

"Not really but I do have one question, why are you not trying to kill me over what my eyes look like?" I asked then Sarah looks like she not paying any attention to me as she works, so I turn my head to the other diamond dog Traver and he didn't look to happy. He looked more bored than anything else.

"Eron told everyone that you was a Shadow Walker that lost your memory, then we put it to a vote waver we should let you live or kill you. So ya it didn't feel right killing someone when they lost all their memory, so here we are." Traver said as he looked out into the forest. Holy crap he sounded really young for a big guy. Like teens, but ya so everyone know what I am and let me live?, or should I say think what I am.

I don't know if I should be happy or worried about that. "In the end it came down to the final vote between Eron, Bruiser, Beowulf, And lastly Star-" Before he can say the last name he get a small rock thrown at his head, I turn to look where the rock had came from and saw Lightning Dust.

I didn't know what Traver did that made her angry at him but if looks could kill, he would of died ten times over. After he rubs the back of his head in pain and gave Dust an apologetic look, before continuing with his story.

"Ummm Star... Song?, Ya Star Song. So the winning vote was between them, Beowulf and Bruiser voted that you should die. Then Eron and Star Song voted for you to live so seeing the vote was in a deadlock there was only one thing we could do." He said as a fire was started by Dust.

I thought about this as he was talking the name he gave me Star Song sounded a bit like a lie. Not the name Star but the last name Song his voice went a bit higher when he said it as if he came up with the name on the sport. I then saw Sarah pulling out wrapping from the bag next to her to then put them around my body.

"Where did the bag come from?" I asked Sarah once she was finished with bandaging me up. "We got it from the wagon with all the other supply's." She said being careful not to wrap them to tite. Okay well I guess that what was in the back of the wagon I was in, but now I'm starting to feel a bit chilly. I am really hopping my new body is built for the cold like my old one.

In my old body I didn't feel the cold unless it was windy, let me tell you there nothing like feeling you're bones feeling the cold. I loved it everyone else said I was a nuttier, if you don't understand what that means it means crazy. "Now that we got you clean up all we need is to get you a new shirt." Said Sarah while she was digging around in the bag I turn back to Traver. And continue our conversation. "So what did you do to find out if I should live or not?" I asked thinking it was something like Mag somehow got them to let me live.

"We flipped a gold coin, Heads you live tails you died." I turn to Dust very slowly as she said that, wait so they left the fate of my life in a game of chance? "What, the fuck, is wrong with YOU!" I yell at her which I think made everyone jump Comet and Payday poked their heads out of an old tent there were a number of things wrong with this. On the top of the lot was gambling with me life.

"Who idea was that anyway?! No, you know what forget it I'm going." I say as I get up then look at Sarah who had found me a shirt, I thank her before putting it on and taking off the leather straps from my sword and shield. I then packed the old shirt into a ball wrapping the claw in it using one of the leather straps.

"Where do you think you're going!?" I heard one of the ponies yell after I put the shield on my left arm, it didn't sound like Dust it sounded more male so I just ignore him. I then put my belt on with the sword resting on my left hip and the small dagger behind my back just over my tall. "On a head I'll make my way to town by myself, if that where you're going." I say as I start to walk.

I then use the other strap to fix the wrapped up claw to my back, when I try to leave I see the Pegasus with it spear pointed right at me. I was getting really sick of this, it then I hear Dust speck. "You don't even know where we're going?, for all you know the town could be weeks away." Said Dust as she walked to my side and looked up at me.

I nod at that then point my finger at the road and tracks. "I'll just follow the trail it can't be that hard." I say as I make my way past them, I didn't get far before the large horse run in front of me and block my way. "But you don't know the way and the way there is protected by magic, you'll never find winter pond by yourself." He sounded like a Teen for a big guy.

"Comet, stop talking about the town!" I hear the Pegasus yell at him, but I was more surprised by how young this big guy sounded and how worried about my well being he was. I can't deal with this any more and I just walk around him, I go on my way following the wagon tracks. But not before I hear the Pegasus who I now know was Payday yelling at me.

It not that hard to guess after hearing the big guy be called Comet. "Stop him before he tell the other rats about us!" I was about to walk past Bruiser when I then hear him speak.

"Leave him, he go alone. He get eaten won't find home." Said the diamond dog as I walk into the forest alone.

I was walking for what felt like well let say an hour and when I started to smell something like rotting meat. I went to found out why, it didn't take me long and the smell of what it was. It was on the road anyway I got to see what I guess went after the other wagon. It looked like the Snow Wraith only... Bigger. Like a lot bigger, it had a lot of what looks like cuts in it body and burn marks as well.

Well looks like Mag being useful, I saw one of it eyes were missing so I just kept walking and following the tracks only to find something big walking ahead of me. I forgot what it name was but It was the land beast that was pulling the wagon I was on. It had large leather straps around it body and a piece of wood dragging behind it.

If this thing was anything like the horses back home or any animal it will know how to get back home and home for it would be the town he came from. So ya I started following this thing but I stay a good ten feet away from it. I didn't want to pick a fight with it or scare it off, it let out a groan as it start to walk off the road. I look down and see the wagon tracks are going the same way.

Well here's to hopping I'm right, if I'm not I will not be happy. I felt really weird about myself as I follow this thing I could hear birds calling out as more and more trees start to show up. I didn't understand way but I felt scared, it was oddly getting a bit creepy in these woods. Unlike all the other trees before these one look older and taller, almost blocking out the sky.

But my large friend didn't seem to care so I try and push that small bit of fear to the back of my mind. If the Land Beast was not worried then I should not be ever, it then I saw what looked like a really large wall made of wood. I stop as the thing let out a groan at the wall, I didn't really do anything apart from look around. I hear a groan but not from the beast but from the wall.

I see the wall part ways as the large animal start to walk in side as the wall turned out to be two doors I look back and see that we didn't leave any tracks behind us. "Weird..." I say to myself as I slowly go inside and see the two large wall like doors close behind me.

Inside was some kind of town, it looked like it was over run with plant life on the walls.

I slowly make my way deeper inside and stop following that over sized lizard that was walking ahead of me. I look around and found the deeper I go into the town the better care the town was in. I can't see anyone around so I guess this is some kind of ghost town?,

as I walk past a well into the main square. I saw what looked like some kind of large stable.

Must be for the land beasts... I think as I take my time looking around then I see something off to one side. It looked like three large posts in the ground and tied to one of them was someone I recognize. "Maggabl you're alive!"

I shouted out to him as I run over, I never thought I'd ever see him again and I kind of feel safer with him around. Besides I need info about what the hell I did back there, that was not fire that was for damn sure. And he didn't tell me anything about magic hurting you when you're the one using it.

But when I get to him I see him look up and the look on his face was well, he looked absolutely furious I had no idea why? I heard him shouting about how stupid I was and how if he ever got free he was going to burn me alive... I don't really think he can do that and just as I was going to reply to him.

I hear the jingle of metal and stomping I think that ever feet or hooves? I slowly turn around and see a small army of ponies all armed with spears and giving me a look that said if I made one wrong move. I'd hit the floor before I knew what hit me.

"Aww crap, umm parlay?" I asked as I hold up both my hands. Then one of them hit me in the face and I black out.
