"Wha... Why I oughta-" Mr. Prick started.

"You oughta just shut the hell up while I take your body." I interrupted. I really did not like this guy for some reason. I closed my eyes and began to concentrate. I felt a strange flowing. Like what happens when you go in a lake and the water is pushing against you. I opened my eyes to find them surrounded by darkness. I felt a scratch at one of them. I nudged it out of the way and slowly poked my head out. A strange of an orange-blond hair covered my eyes. I pushed it away with a hoof. I felt something on my chest and noticed it was a jacket. A leather one. Nice.

"Wait. When did Mr. Prick get red hooves? And orange-blond hair? And a leather jacket?! SINCE WHEN?" I thought to myself. I was freaking the fuck out. Where did all this come from? Shit appearing out of nowhere shouldn't happen. Or at least, it shouldn't...

"WHAT THE?! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY BODY! I DEMAND YOU LET ME OUT OF HERE AT ONCE!" I heard something scream inside my mind.

"Oh just shut up. I'm gonna have some fun while I'm you. Maybe make you a wanted criminal. Beat up a filly... What do you think?"

You... You wouldn't Dare do such a thing!

"Oh really? Did I ever tell you about the time where I murdered a bunch of Celestia's Guards?"

That was you?!

"Nope. That was the Boogeyman. What do you think?" I asked.

Where is this Boogeyman I will report him to my aunt as soon as I force you out!

"Yeah... You keep thinking that." I said to myself before I saw people staring at me. I noticed a small child up front. I grew a smile and looked into her eyes.

"Hey there little girl. I got some candy in here. Want some?"

Her mother gasped and quickly pulled her away.

"What." I said to the crowd. "Is there a problem here where I can't give candy to little fillies while inside a cart of hay?" The crowd looked at me like I was crazy.

"Well fuck you guys. and to think I was going to give all my money to this town."

"YOU SHALL NOT TOUCH MY MONEY!"Mr. Prick yelled in my head.

"Quiet you! I'm busy ruining your life!" I thought. He began to say something else but I quickly tuned him out as I jumped out of the cart. I walked up to the filly before and asked her her name. It was Cloud Rush. I gave a wicked smile.

"Well Cloud Rush... You appear to have something on your face."

"Rising, are you ready yet?" Hollow called behind her as she walked along the path. "I wanna get to Appaloosa as soon as possible!"

"Whoa, what's the rush Hollow? Know a special Somepony there?" Rising teased.

"No! I'm just tired of waiting for you!" she said as she shook off her slowly growing blush.

"Well sorry for not being the best at teleportation. Besides,I told you I major in combat magic. Not this... Teleportation magic." Rising said as he jogged a bit to catch up.

"Fine. Just try not to lag behind, I wanna to to Appaloosa before that centaur gets there so I can rub it in his face!"

"Why? What did it do to you?" Rising said, he was curious about Hollow's sudden attitude.

"Hm? Oh, nothing. Centaurs are fabled for their strength and speed. It's said that their only weakness is that they can't use magic."

"She must really know her mythology." Rising thought.

"But they were thought to be only myths. But it's also said that one appears, it had a life before the current one."

"And?" Rising interrupted.

"You didn't let me finish. Now as I was saying it supposedly has a past life. And the current life is here to either protect the land from a growing evil, or it shall become the evil. The choice it chooses depends on the creatures it meets in the past life."

"Wow." Rising said as he thought about it. "So what do you think that centaur's previous life was like?"

"I'm not sure. Maybe we should ask when we get there. I think that they should be able to remember their old life. Now c'mon. This is the last teleport before we're there. Ready?" Hollow asked before she got her magic ready. Rising nodded his head and got his magic ready also. And with that, they teleported into Appaloosa. However, the centaur was nowhere to be seen. Rising then remembered what it has said. To look for a 'Flame Heart.' so he asked the first pony he saw, who happened to be the town's sheriff. He said that he had recently locked up a noble for punching a filly in the face, public disturbances, assault, attempted murder, and mentally scarring the entire town.

"Strangest part is though, I knew who the noble was, but 'e kept on sayin' to call 'im Flame Heart. No idea why. Blueblood had a whole new personality after he wen' in'ta that cart a hay."

"Alright, thank you sheriff. I hope I didn't bother you any." Rising said.

"No, no. It's alright. Ah'll do anything to get that pest outa here." the sheriff said before he walked away. Rising immediately turned to Hollow.

"Not good."

I need some better titles...

Also. A thousand words exact. I feel a strange mixture of proud and curiosity of why it is I'm proud.
