.Author's Note: ... I got nothin'.

"Now, about my payment..."

"What?" a startled Celestia asked.

"My payment. You didn't think I was going to do this for free did you?" the mysterious pony asked.

"Oh, well I never thought about that... What would you like to be paid in?"

"I prefer gold. I noticed that your castle had large amounts of it as decoration, and gold is a rare metal where I come from."

"Well we have no shortage of gold here in Equestria. How much do you need?"

"A few bags of it will do. I don't need much."

"Very well. I'll see to it personally after you are done with your mission."

Once Celestia and the new pony arrived at Ponyville, the dark colored pony decided it was as good time as any to ask what the intruder looked like.

"Celestia, can you tell me what this intruder looked like?"

"He was tall, walked on two legs, had a brown mane on his head, and had hands." Celestia answered.

"Human. I suspected as much. I saw him on the way here. He was leaving some caves and was going into the forest. He didn't appear to be carrying anything on him."

"Nothing?" Celestia asked.

"That's what I said."

"I see. If you would like, you can leave now, or search for him later." Celestia offered.

"I think now would be best. The sooner the better." the pony said before getting out of the carriage and heading off in the direction of the caves.

Celestia thought as she watched him go.

Back to me.

I looked up and noticed some clouds about a mile away. It looked like it was heading to my left so I decided not to worry about it much.

It took me about half an hour to find something to kill. It was a wolf. Except it was made of wood.

I thought as I watched it eating a rabbit.

I watched it for a couple more minutes until I heard a rustling in the bushes behind me. I dismissed it as a bird or something and walked into the small clearing where the wolf was. It looked up at me and started to growl. We circled for a couple seconds before it lunged at me. I used my arm to block it and it ended up biting my arm and drawing blood. I gave a little snicker.

"Sheesh. I've had poodles bite harder than you!"

I then reached around with my other arm and punched him off. I grabbed for my knife and got ready to throw it. Seeing this, the wolf walked closer to a tree. Then I quickly threw my knife, aiming for the wolf's neck. It somehow stepped into the tree and came out a tree behind me. I didn't have time to wonder how it did it, because it jumped at my back with a growl. I heard it, and swung my fist around, punching it in the neck. It fell to the ground about two yards away gasping for breath. I slowly walked over until I reached it. I then proceeded to put my foot on it's throat. It started to squirm so I put more force. Eventually it's breathing slowed down. Once it was about to pass out, I dug my heel into it's neck and twisted my foot. Effectively breaking it's neck and killing it quietly besides the small yelp it made before dieing.

Then I remembered my knife was in the tree. I walked over to the tree before stopping at the sound of more rustling in the bushes. I quickly grab my hunting knife from the tree and prepare for another wolf. What I saw instead was a pure black pony with red glowing eyes.

"Hahahaha! My my, you are a jumpy one. Then again, you would need to be quick witted to kill all those guards. Speaking of which, I was sent here by Celestia to teach you a lesson." It took me a second to comprehend that. As soon as I did, it stood on its back legs, grew claws, and jumped at me. I quickly blocked one claw with my knife and blocked the other with my hand. The creature was slowly over powering me. I then remembered a trick a bully used to use on me when I was in high school. I took the claw in my hand and twisted it. I heard a metallic crack as the creature recoiled in shock; I had broken one of its claws clean off. "What the-" Before it could recover, I swept my legs around knocking it to the ground. I then used the creatures broken claw as a new knife and stabbed it repeatedly into the thing's left eye. It's eye started to flash and spark as the creature let out a metallic scream. Suddenly, the creature grabbed my hands and kicked me several feet into the air. It rolled out of the way as I crashed to the ground. I staggered to my feet and ran over to the creature, who was busy trying to remove the claw from its eye socket. I knocked the creature on its back and began repeatedly stomping on the claw. Pushing the claw farther and farther into its skull. Eventually, it got to far in and I ended up smashing the area around the eye. The creature let out another blood-curling scream before its other eye faded to black.

"What. The. FUCK?!" I screamed to myself. "WHY THE HELL DID THAT THING HAVE CLAWS?!"

A drop of water hit my head. Then another... It was beginning to rain...

I looked at the sky at saw that the clouds had moved. "That can't be normal. Clouds arn't suppost to do that! Gah! This world is Trolling me." I said before i turned back to the bodies.

"Ugh. Might as well just bring the bodies back with me. No reason just leaving them here. I can probably find something for what ever that thing is, and I can burn the wolf or something. I don't know. I'll figure it out when it's time to." I said. I walked over to the wolf first and put it on my shoulder.

I thought as i walked over to the pony thing.

I tryed to lift it only to find out that it was light.

I thought as I remembered the fight it put up.

Author's Note: Terrable spot to end I know. But it's me we're talking about. You guys should have figured out I'm a terrable person by now.
