Death's Gift

Blayze was fast asleep, dreaming peacefully about the short time he had been in Equestria. His opened his eyes slowly and began to take in the cave he was in now that there was a bit of light. He stood up and looked towards the entrance of the cave and saw a cupcake.

"That wasn't there when I..." He came to sudden realization that he wasn't alone in the cave at all. Then, all of a sudden, a pink blob shot past him and started swirling around him, eventually tackling him.

"Hi I'm Pinkie Pie, what's your name, what are you, where are you from, do you like parties?" She said in a blur of words. Blayze just stared blankly into her face before she gasped loudly.

"OOOOO, maybe you're shy or maybe you can't talk ooooooor maybe you're so stunned by the fact that I tackled you that you can't talk!" Pinkie took in a breath, refilling her lungs with the air that had been emptied from them moments before. Blayze just lay there, staring at her without moving or saying a word. Eventually she got off him and looked at him, smiling widely. He stood up and looked at her, thinking of what to say, knowing that he had to be careful or else she might tackle him again.

"Hi I-" Was all he was able to get out before she gasped yet again. "SO YOU CAN TALK, THIS IS SO EXCITING, I'M GONNA MAKE A NEW FRIEND!" He sighed and his palm met his face, making his face sort of sting.

"Listen, Pinkie Pie, can you take me to Canterlot so I can see the Princess, then we can go throw a nice, big party." He immediatley regretted those words as Pinkie pounced him for a second time, knocking the wind out of him. His mind told him to deal with it, he would soon enough be in Canterlot and finding out if there was a way back to his world or not. If not...well, he'd cross that bridge when it came to it.

"THIS IS GOING TO BE AMAZING and you can call me Pinkie, Pinkie Pie takes too long to say and Pinks is only for my BEST friends!" She said as she somehow yanked him off the ground and out of the cave. He put his skeletal hand infront of his face to block out the blinding sun with little success. He grunted and walked, or rather jogged after Pinkie as she happily bounced her way along the small pathway she had led him out to. They walked for a while, Blayze insisting that if anyone else came along, that he would hide so they wouldn't run or attack him if they saw him.

Eventually, they got to a small lake just outside a peaceful looking forest. They sat down next to a stump and Pinkie gave Blayze a small, blue cupcake. It looked delicious and his stomach grumbled loudly, wanting some of that precious delicious cupcake.

"THIS IS AWESOME!" He exclaimed a bit too loudly as he practically swallowed the cupcake. Pinkie smiled widely as he ate it. She looked up at the sky and had a thinking face on. She was tapping her hoof on the ground and was in what seemed like deep thought for about five minutes.

"If we move now, we could catch Celestia before the sun goes down!" The sudden talking caused Blayze to jump. He nodded and they both got up and started walking towards Canterlot, which was now on the moutnain above them. Blayze sighed as he knew it was going to be a long walk, especially with Pinkie in tow. She walked next to him, asking him a question every now and again.

"So, where are you from?" She asked wanting to know more about her new friend.
"I'm from a place called Ireland." He said, smiling as he remembered the open green frields he was born next to.
"Ireland, where's that, is it near Equestria?" Pinkie asked curiously, her mane wiggling on it's own.
"It's a land far away from here." He said, his smile fading as his mind told him he was probably never going to see it again.
"Oh, you miss it don't you?" Her voice became sad as he nodded, but then she suddenly lit up with a smile. "Don't worry, we'll throw an extra big party to make you all happy and not saddy.

After that small conversation, they arrived at Canterlot gates. After about ten minutes of arguing with the Royal Guards, they were let in and were walking along the streets towards the castle. All the posh ponies were pointing and whispering in hush voices.

"Look at it, it's so weird." "I hope it doesn't look at me." "Someone deal with it, it's making the district look horrible." Were just some of the comments Blayze heard as they walked towards the castle. He clenched his fists and teeth and said to Pinkie.

"Let's walk faster before I snap, these idiots are getting on my nerves." He said, just loud enough for some of the other ponies to hear, which made them put on shocked faces. "It can talk." "Well, I never" "Get it out of here before I call the guard!" They shouted. Pinkie and Blayze walked up to the castle and entered the doors as the guards opened it, they seemed to have recieved a message to say they were coming.

They walked in, where they were met by a guard and escorted through the castle. Everything was spotless, kept in perfect condition thanks to the cleaners that cleaned them everyday. They were brought through a majestic golden door and led to a spiral staircase. The guard told them to go up it, knock on the door three times and wait for the Princess to allow them in. They said their thanks to the guard and climbed the staircase.

"I hope she won't be shocked about how I looked." Blayze said, becoming more nervous the closer they got to the top.
"Don't worry, Princess Celestia is always welcoming and gentle, even to the strangest of creatures...OH, sorry." She said, blushing slightly as she realised what she just said.

"It's fine Pinkie, don't worry, I am a strange creature, I have to admit." Blayze chuckled to himself as he looked at his hand, his bones shimmering slightly in the light of the now afternoon sun. He sighed and returned his attention to the narrow stairs, making sure not to trip over on anything and hurt himself. Pinkie bounced slowly behind him. When they got to the top of the stairs, they saw the door and Pinkie knocked rapidly three times. A soothing voice was heard from inside, which told them to come in.

The doors opened and Blayze and Pinkie walked in. "Woah..." Blayze said as he walked into Celestia's regal office, windows lined with gold and walls with intricate patterns on them.

And there, upon her seat behind a desk, sat Princess Celestia. She smiled and said. "Welcome Pinkie...Welcome Blayze." Blayze stood there, mouth agape and started walking towards Celestia, who grabbed two seats with her magic and put them infront of her desk. "Please, sit, tell me everything." She said, gesturing towards the seats. Blayze sat down and prepared himself for the story telling to come.

Authors note:
Well, here's the second chapter, I know it's short, but I generally write short chapters anyway, will try to make longer chapters in the future.
On the other hand, I added in more dialogue, which the story needed, since the first chapter was void of any dialogue.
Oh yeah, I also scrapped all the skin off the ball of my knee, so I'll have loads of time for chapter thinking. If you see any typos or anything that doesn't make sense, tell me, I'd appreciate it.
