I am the Wanderer
This isn't the end
Previous ChapterTwo months and six days later
7:30 A.M
I can't believe it's been this long since the day I renounced my Wandering days. The first few days were awkward to say the least.
I had to wear my Vault jumpsuit the first day while I went to ask Rarity if she could make me some clothes. She had accepted in a heart beat and dragged me towards her work area to take measurements, though during all this I could tell that Rarity still felt a little uneasy with me being a Changeling.
I couldn't blame her, though her depictions of Changelings wasn't accurate to the truth at all. Saying that we feed on love, bullshit. Mindless and loyal to one, Fuck that.
I had to explain that there weren't many to begin with and that the ones she saw at the wedding of Twilight's brother were synths. Then I had to explain what a synth was to her.
After she had finished taking my measurements, She quickly whipped up a plain black shirt and some navy blue jeans. Afterwards she told me to come by the next day for new wardrobe.
After that was done, I needed a source of income and it just so happens that the Apple Family were hiring at the time, plus I do owe them for the Megaton business that Applejack coaxed out of me.
Then there's Rainbow and Pinkie, who've been pestering me on teaching them how to use guns. I saw Pinkie handle one with ease, she just wants the secret to perfect aim while Rainbow’s reason was that it's cool. After finally giving up, I had decided to teach them but to be on the safe side I had given Rainbow a BB gun. Pinkie brought her own, a very bright Pink point forty four magnum with Armor piercing.
After teaching Pinkie the way to get the perfect aim and seeing Rainbow get knocked onto her ass each time she fired for thirty minutes, I went to check on Dogmeat.
Arriving at Fluttershy’s cottage, I saw Fluttershy feeding a few forest animals such as Rabbits, Foxes and a large bear. Dogmeat followed behind her with a large salmon in his teeth.
He walked up to the bear and poked him, earning a growl from the bear as it turned around with a scowl. The bears scowl was soon replaced with a grin as Dogmeat threw the salmon up in the air and the bear looked at it as he moved back a bit.
The salmon ultimately landed in the bear's mouth and he celebrated raising both his front legs in the air. As the bear did that I could've sworn I heard a whistle.
Dogmeat had looked around and spotted me. I didn't have a chance before getting a face full of Timberwolf saliva. Fluttershy had helped me up and I thanked her, not for helping me but for nursing my best friend back to health.
Fluttershy had blushed furiously as I had hugged her to show my gratitude. Dogmeat means a lot to me and I don't what I'd do without him.
After I had picked up Dogmeat, I had noticed that I still had time before the Scootaloo and Nyx get out of School. The town had been hesitant at first, letting a member of a race that just tried to destroy their way of living can do that.
I had arrived at the School just as the bell rang. I saw Fillies and colts walking out but no sign of the girls. I had the heard the sounds of wings flapping, so looking up I saw that Nyx was flying next to Scootaloo as she held on to Sweetie Belle while Scootaloo held onto Apple Bloom as they flew down.
They had landed on Dogmeat, much to the wolf's dismay. I had to take them back to the castle, the girls planned sleepover days prior to the attack and were about to cancel it but I told them that it was fine.
Anyway, in a nutshell that was the first day. The next was my date with Twilight and I think it went smoothly, if you exclude the part were Twilight's friends were spying on us the entire evening.
From that day forwards we had decided to keep our dates a secret.
Throughout the week, I spent more and more of my time with Nyx and Scoot. I felt like I needed to get to know them better, hell even Twilight joins from time to time.
As for Chrysalis and her four newborns, Twilight had offered her a room in the castle seeing that Chrysalis didn't have a home anymore and it was the least she could do.
Speaking of the newborns, Liberty had offered to be their guardian and the look on Chrysalis’ face was priceless. I guess she thought Liberty wanted nothing to do with her for keeping the secret of what he really was away from him.
At the start of my second month, things started getting weird. From time to time, I could see Salvador walking by. I told him back at the Commonwealth I wanted nothing to do with him.
Twilight had noticed my change of behaviour and had talked it out of me. I told almost everything about me and Sal, leaving only one detail that I prefer nopony to know.
After the talk, I felt remarkably better and continued with my daily life.
I think the fourth day of my second month was Hearts and Hooves day, I don't know, I can't tell the days anymore.
During Hearts and Hooves day, me and Twilight spent it by ourselves, no spies, no Nyx or Scootaloo just me and Twilight.
The next day, I woke up like any other day except for one crucial detail. I was naked in Twilight's bed with Twilight still sleeping next to me also lacking clothes.
It took me a bit to recall what happened but I'll spare you the details and just say we made love, I'll leave it at that.
Now, fast forward to today. Ever since heart's and Hooves day, I slept with Twi. Today I had to take the girls to school, help the Apple family with the harvest, teach Spike some hand to hand fighting and continue Rainbows shooting lessons.
Finishing my morning routines and donning a blue shirt with Vault 101 on the back and some dark blue jeans, I had waited for Nyx and Scoots at the throne room.
I normally spend this time doing Lord knows what but today was different, someone's with me.
My ears twitched at the sounds of foreign footsteps behind me and quickly reacted by quickly turning to look at the intruder. The sight before me was quite shocking to say the least.
“C-Cyrus?” I asked in shocked. Standing just a few feet in front of me was griffon I knew well. His attire consisted of a torn and bloodied riot gear, similar to what I wore when I fought Ulysses. On his left hip was a holstered magnum and on his right was a large knife covered in dried blood. Looking up, my jaw dropped at the sight of something missing. His left arm. “How-”
“I've gone through a lot to get here and I'd rather not talk about it now.” He said, cutting me off from asking. He frowned, eyes narrowing at me. “I need your help. I've started something… something big and I intend to finish it… I have to finish it.” He said, his voice taking a somber tone. His right hand held something faintly metallic, it looked like a locket.
“I'm sorry but I… I’m done. I've had enough of the life threatening misadventures, if you can call them that.” I told him, looking down at my prosthetics. Eyes widening at my words, the Griffin replied.
“I can't do this alone!” He exclaimed suddenly, sounding distressed. “The Enclave are looking for me as we speak, who knows when they'll find me!?” He continued to shout. My pupils dilated at the mention of this but I shook my head and asked.
“The Enclave? They're aren't-”
“Not to Equestria.” He cut me off, intriguing me with his statement before adding. This isn't the end, isn't it? It was the beginning of something more… something beyond my own comprehension. If what he says is anything to go by, then the Enclave never died back at the capital. “I've traveled the Great Wastes for answers and in the end, I've lost someone dear to me.” Cyrus, the Griffin, said sadly. Hearing this, I pondered on my decision.
After a while, I looked at him with my decision being made. My answer, surprised the both of us but then again if the Enclave were truly a threat once again, it really shouldn't of.
“...Alright.”
