Starscream's POW:
I was approaching Ponyville in 15 minutes, and I was beginning to become tired of flying. Celestia knows always the best route in air, but on the ground I'm lost of here navigation, especially when I'm landing in a forest full of monsters.
Which happened after I got tired by flying, so I landed inside of a dark and weird area in a forest. The forest did have a clear path to somewhere, but to make sure I got one of my daggers out for protection. While I was walking, my thoughts came on and I never got to know what was inside of the message Celestia gave me to Twilight more directly. I reached to my saddle bag, picked up the scroll, locked up the sealing and took a peek inside and the Letter was written like this.
To my fateful student: Twilight Sparkle.
As you can see, the alicorn you got the letter for is a top class VIP
for the reasons that is forbidden to answer for others than himself or the Royal Family.
I have already talked to him and he is going to stay for a while,
So i'm asking you if you can let him borrow your Guest room until he is finished his quest,
From: Princess Celestia.
P.S: If you need help with magic, you can ask him anything.
The last comment got me a little afraid, after all when I searched for the memory in Celestia mind about Ponyville I came up with the Twilight's egghead of questioning. well… I just have to take it like a man.
Suddenly I sensed a creature come closer to me, I took the letter, sealed it again like it was and took my dagger in an fighting position. I could feel it came closer and the power from it wasn't that mutch to talk about, I could see the bushes move and slowly stopping. I got confused and decided to brake the silent for good.
"Hello" I started. Nothing answers,
"I know your in there, I can sense your energy from a long way." I continued, Still no answer.
I got annoyed by this and decided to walk to the energy was. Suddenly when I was right behind the bush it hided inn, got attacked by it. I jumped backward and blocked the claws from it, I took a look on the creature and it was a full grown manticore, I could see it wasn't hiding from me, but hunting me. I felt that he stuck me with his scorpion tail in my shoulder and the poison was going through my body, it was probably when I was near it.
"Dang it" I yelled.
I could see that he was going to eat me for dinner, well… it's better than been food for a dragon…. I fainted slowly, but got enough time to see the manticore escaping from something, and some seconds later I see a yellow Pegasus slowly trying to communicate with me… But it was to late, I was knocked out by a animal that I have fight so many times. What was different this time?
I sensed something good from a small distance, maybe it was a sweet roll, no this was something fresher and less candy sweet, something I could think an apple is for me… It was an apple pie.
'I just have to opening my eyes and everything is going to be fine' I tought.
As I was going to open the eyes up I could see something but everything went blurry, after all a manticore poison can be a pain in my flank sometimes. After three or four seconds everything was easy to see again, I was in a bed and small animals was everywhere, but the creepy thing was that they all was stared at me with big eyes. I tried to get out of my bed but only went into failure by been parelyzed by my enemy..... Lazyness.
My armor, weapons and my saddle bag was on a bench in front of a table. My magic seems to work and so I reached up both of my hoofs in air and was trying to perform the Grand Healing spell. I was successful on the spell and had a ball of healing by my paws, the animals was amazed by this and when the I released the magic, the hole room was filth with light.
I quickly got up and stretched myself to see if I still need to heal, after what I can see the sick and injured animals from before was healed at the same time. The house I was in looks more like a cottage, the sun was down so I must have been knocked out a real long time. I should know that the owner is maybe on the way to see me so the best thing to do is to wait for life rescuer. I could hear some steps come closer in the front door and tried to hide my wings in my fur to not get some unessesary attantion.
The door got open and revealing the yellow pegasus with a light pink mane with some butterflies as cutie mark, she seems really shy so I started with the typical:
"Hello there"… I got no answer from here, and she tried to not make an eye contact to me.
"So you are taking care of sick animals who is hurt?" I asked.
She began to look on me and finally answers me. "Yes… I love to take care of animals." she smiled, her fear gets really fast over when you talk about care for others, before your self..... She is really kind.
"Um... excuse me mister?" She asked. With that question, the shyness took over again.
I quickly answers her with a node. "Who are you?" she asks.
"My name?...... My name is Starscream." I answerd here in a silly voice to get her to not afraid.
"Was it you who saved me?" I had to ask her. She seemed to be over with the extremely shyness again but this time, I think she says like this.
"Yes, I was looking after my pet bunny, Angel. But then I saw you fighting a manticore. I scared it away when you got hurt, and I got help from a friend of mine to carry your stuff and yourself." I was happy for the treatment she gave me.
"But, I never got your name, And who was the other one who helped you?" I asked.
"My name is Fluttershy, My friend Twilight was the one who helped me."
'Wait… Twilight helped me?, I have to deliver the massage to here and make everything as planed.' I Tought.
"Wait… Twilight? I was actually on my way to here for a special task by the princess." I said to her.
I quickly got my things on and got my saddle bag searching for if something was gone and luckily nothing was gone, I put on my Mask and the armor on and turned to face Fluttershy. "Will I hit Ponyville if I go on the road?" I asked. She was looking at me strangely with a mix of fear and confusion. She only noted, I smiled to her "I thank you for your kindness, and as payment for your good work, I healed many of your hurted animal friends" I smiled. She smiled back and waving her hoof to me. I continued running on the path when I finally saw the sun raising up.
Normal POW:
The sun was rising again, and Starscream is exited see how it has changed in Ponyville. He could see Ponyville in a distance, and stopped near a cliff to take a break from galoping. He smiled and could see the house major lived in when he was a little colt.
He jumped down from the cliff and landed hard on the ground, for Starscream it isn't a problem, usually he destroys the ground he lands on. He started walking inside the town square, moments like this, ponies starts always steering at him, for Starscream it wasn't a problem, but the newest thing he didn't even know in ponyville was right around the corner to make him have a suprise he would not forget.
by the corner a pink earth pony was showing up from nowhere and was talking to him like he was deaf,
"Are you a new pony, ooh I love new ponies it always a new opportunity to make a new friend and throw a party, are you a solider? where you from? What's your name? (GASP)" then the she just ran away.
Starscream didn't know what just happened, all he could say was nothing but…
"By Ysmir… did just happened?" He with a silent moment for himself to think a little right.
He continued to take a look after mayor in the town hall. For Starscream everything was completely different from when he was a little colt, he saw the main hall, and decided to take a look inside.
He opened the door and could see some working tables and some ponies working like it was real fight against life or death, Starscream walked to the secretary's desk and gave a signal to here to see him. The mare was busy signing some paperworks and got yelped when she saw Starscream with the armor on.
"Relax i'm not here to make anypony afraid or something" He told her,
She blushed in embaressment.
"Sorry, but welcome to ponyville it seems that you are new here in town, what can I do for you" she asked me nicely.
"First of all, no I'm not new, I have been away for 17 years now. Second, I wish to know where the mayor is and have a talk with her." I answered.
She looked inside a book with notes to check for any busy meatings, she smiled to Starscream to give him some good news.
"She is actually not busy today, do you want to have a meeting later sir?" Starscream got a little irritated, and closed his eyes and began to think about if it is smart or not to just come in like a wierd stallion or be preperd, two or three seconds later he opens he's eyes.
"I would like to talk to here at once, she is kinda real close to me." he said calmer than hes toughts.
"Wait… are you named Starscream?" she asked him suprised.
Starscream was in total shock of the fact that she knows his name. "Why yes, I'm Starscream. But how do you know my name may I ask?" He gently ask her, instant of force all information she know by treating her life.
"The Mayor is going to be really happy to see you, I'm going to tell here that you are here. Just wait outside here please."
By that she goes inside a double door, six seconds later the doors got slammed open and shows a surprised older mayor.
Starscream's POW:
"Grandma!?!" I yield to here.
"Star!?!?" she said to me.
She started to jump on me for a hug,
"I can't believe that you are home!, your okay? are you hurt? Why so many weapons? What's with the mask? Are you a mage yet?"
She started to become the old fashion mother for me.
"Relax Grandma, I'm fine, no need to worry!" I tried to calm her down.
"Look it's good to see you, should we go for a walk to take some time to know what has going on" She agreed with me, so we walked out from the town hall and headed for the Sugarcube Corner.
I noticed that the weird pink pony is there and was planing for something, "Hey grandma, who is that mare?" I pointed on here. She began to giggle about this.
"That's Pinkie Pie my dear, be cautious around here, she is a really party maker." she giggles.
'You don't say....' I thought while I rolled my eyes to this and went inside the Sugarcube Corner.
It was really dark inside the cafe...
"Uhh… Grandma? are you sure it is open today?" I said in annoyed voice.
"Yes dear, it is always open… oh no…" she stemmed on the final words.
I was going to ask what was going on, but the lights went on and showed many ponies yelling out
"Supri-" (GASP!) Everypony gasped at my look with my gear on.
"What, is it my gear?" I took of my mask and revealed my unicorn face and everything went normal after some seconds of see me as a normal pony.
"Who ho, that was some awkward moment for a while, and mayor it's good to see that you are here for party to, I mean you have gotten a ton of my invitations but you newer came and -" Pinkie just continued forever until a orange pony pushed a cupcake in her mouth, behind her was there 4 other mares following her.
"Thanks for saving me from a sleepless night, but who are you?" I asked nervously to here. The orange earth pony was going for a hoof shake with me and started introducing herself.
"Howdy there partner, how are ya? A'm Applejack. Now what's your name?" I took here by the hoof and she just suddenly shaken it wildly, for me it wasn't a challenge to stop it.
"The name is Starscream, but my friends called me Star." I answerd.
"So who is the other mares that is behind you?" I asked.
The blue pegasus with a mane and tail like a rainbow one got in front of me, "The name is Rainbow Dash. The fastest flyer in Equestria, and the most awesomest pony to." she said. The white Unicorn with the fancy purple mane.
"Why hello there Starscream, my... my.... you look marvelous with the robes, but where are my manners my name is Rarity."
She likes the arch-mage robes, this should be a good start.
"Why thank you my lady, I am really charmed by this kind of rare treatment." I thanked her REALY gently. I could se that she blushed by the comment. I could see Fluttershy behind her. "Fluttershy is good to see you again" I said. She smiled and got behind Rarity, "Yes I can't thank you enough for healing every animal when I was gone, by the way how did you do it?" she asked.
The other 5 mares and grandma got surprised by this. I started to feel guilty for my alteration magic so I had to tell the truth. "Well… I kinda have studied under magic in 15 years. So I was a Master mage at age six. So my magic is kinda immortality on its own." I said while I was brushing my long black and white mane to look a little more guilty. The girls was in shock and the purple mare was going to ask me a question so I was ready for the worst. "Where did you came from?" she asked. She was easier than I expected. "I just came from Skyrim." The girls gasped for this. "B-b-b-but there was a civil war there, how did you survive?" The purple one continues. I was gong to say anything. But my grandma tried to protest "Starscream wasn't allowed to go in the war he was in col-" I heard enough of this "Grandma stop!!" so she stopped but looked on me with a worried look.
"it's true, I was in the war" the girls eyes went wide. "When I was 15 I was allowed to join the war if I wanted, I joined the Stormcloaks and I got fast a good reputation in the field, at the end I was known as the biggest war hero of Skyrim." the purple one was i shock but still asked me questions. "Can we know how you got the "War Hero" title?" I hate this question, but I had no choice. "I was the one who executed the leader of the enemies." At the moment, everypony was silent, it seems that everypony had listened to my story. I got a little scared by this, but I have to tell them about the aftermatch. "Ether way, "When I got the title I was honored by the people. and worked for the High King of Skyrim until I turned 18 and then studied under magic in the collage." "But why killing, try to be more older with diplomatic." Rarity added. I signed. "Rarity, If you would have known the history of Tamriel, then you would have completely agreeing that this was the right thing to do." Come to think of it I still have to give the letter to this Twilight Sparkle. It's a shame that I can only can hear voices but not see them in others minds.
Normal POW:
"I'm sorry ponies but I still have to deliver a message, so see ya" Starscream said. He took he's Mask and he's saddle bag and went to the door, He opened it and went out. the main six and the mayor was still in shock for what happened to him, Fluttershy had passed out when Starscream told them he killed the enemy leader. Everypony was gone, instead of the 7 of them. "So… Twilight, what is the plan now?" Mayor ask. Twilight was still thinking about this. "I think we just have to say sorry for waking up the bad memory for him." The others agreed with this. "We have to find him before he leaves us." Rainbow Dash Says in a particular way. The girls agrees and Twilight asks Pinkie to stay and watch on Fluttershy.
The girls have split up and was looking for the mystery pony, It was night and it wasn't easy to see other ponies in the dark. Twilight didn't really see to much especially when there is a fog is laying in Ponyville. suddenly she felt that the ground was missing and she was on the cliff side outside the town. She was trying to hold her up and not fall down, she was losing more of here grip and yelled after help. No answer, she known she would not survive it, suddenly she lost the grip but something was holding her hoof. The thing was Starscream holding my hoof and dragged me up. "That was a close one, What where you thinking?" He asked. "Me and the girls and Mayor are looking for you." Twilight answers and reaching for a hug, "By the way thank you for saving me." Starscream blushed by this. "i-i-i-it was nothing, oh I never got your name. What was it again?" He asked while Twilight broke the hug. "Oh yeah that's true. My name is Twilight Sparkle." She said.
Starscream was going to flip out when he heard here name. "Wait… You are Twilight Sparkle?" he asked only to cheek. Twilight didn't understand why he was asking her twice, "Yes… why are you asking me twice." "You see, I have a letter here from Princess Celestia here to you." He showed her the letter and she quickly took it away from him and looked on Starscream with confusion. "Why do you have a letter which is to me? Its not nice to take someones letter, from them ESPECIALLY from the Prinsess." she was becoming angry on him for no reason. "Twilight, do you even know what happened in Canterlot?" Starscream asked. "No, is there something terrible?" she asked him in a worried tone. "There has been a Dragon problem in the castle and Princess got a little trouble with it, if I hadn't been there Celestia would be dead by now." I said. "I trust you, but what I need to see what is inside of the letter now" she opens it and reading it. 20 seconds later she is finished. "It seems that the princess want you to live in my guest room" Twilight informs him. "Oh… ok" he played with the rules.
They walked to the rest of the group were waiting on them. They all were sorry for the memorizing the memory and Starscream was taken by surprise by this kind of treatment of other ponies that didn't even know him rightly about him, he accepted this and they told there good byes. The mayor wanted Starscream to come home with here, but he told here the message from Celestia, she agreed but whispered something to Starscream, his reaction for this is that he was blushing really much and held "Grandma, that's disturbing. especially from you." She laughted and Twilight didn't understand, the mayor walked away and said good night.
They walked to a house locking like a tree, Starscream thought it was a Treehouse she lived in, but people can be wrong to. It seems that the hole tree is the house. I walked inside the house and saw it was a library. "I think i'm in the wrong place." He said. Twilight turns around to face him "Why do you think that." she asked. "Because… I'm in heaven of books!!!!!!" he yells out. Twilight got a surprised look on here face "I didn't know that you was a egghead Star" she smiled. He laughs, then he suddenly come on something he has in his saddle bag. "By the way Twilight, maybe you can consider this as a gift like a "Thank you for letting me stay here" gift by giving you plenty of magic books and two books about Skyrim's finest histories." I placed over 100 books on the table and let two special books on behind all the spell books. "What is so special with those two?" she asked me. "The special is that, those two books have everything is fact" i said. "The first one is about one of the greatest heroes that have ever existed, also known to be Dragonborn. The second one is about the most powerful Mage in this world. Arch-Mage of Winterhold, better said my master and the abilities of a Archmage."
"I would like to read them all, but I think I have to wait to tomorrow, I haven't slept in two days because of the Dragonborn's shout was going over Equestria." She said… Starscream didn't understand how could she know that. "Um Twilight, how do you know before about the Dragonborn, I mean Dragonborn has always been a Skyrim's hero in many decades. maybe it was another dragon." I tried to find the truth out of here. "There has been a dragon meeting in the local volcano mountain, they where sending messages around Equestria to inform every dragon about what happened. The Dragon killer is on the way to Equestria, but he is not going to kill Spike!" The last sentence was field with protective anger. Starscream shivered about this. "Well… at least read the book about him." He said. Twilight signed, and headed up to the stairs. Starscream followed her and she showed him the guest room. "This is your room for now. I hope you are going to like it here in Ponyville." She smiled. He noted and quickly took of his mask and robes and revealed his wings out for the first time to someone in Ponywille. Twilight gasped by this. "Your an alicorn?!?!" She said out loud. I giggled about this "Yes, this is why I was sent in the first place. Please save the questions tomorrow and I will teach you how to trick people to became friendly to you in use of magic." He said. Twilight smiled and accepted this. Before she walked outside from the room, she turned to him "I'm sorry for waking that bad memory again." she said in a shameful tone. Starscream smiled, "That wasn't the bad part of it, I've been through many horrible things in my past." Twilight signed and went to bed. Right before she went inside here room, Starscream goes outside the room, "Theres one thing you I have to forbid you from the magic books, if you decide to look inside of them let me be there to make sure it is in your magic level." he said. She noted and waved good night to him, after this they both did go to bed, but Starscream was thinking about what happened today. He smiled and steered on the roof in some seconds.
"Twilight, you have no idea who I am yet… I'd like to keep it like that for a while."
