Equestria secrets & seekers
Saving The ungrateful jerks
Previous ChapterWhy does my bed feel like it got switch with a log? I crack an eye somewhat open to see I'm tied to a tree trunk. Well that explains why I can't move. Now why am I tied up in a tree? I proceed to untie myself while I try to figure out what happened. I'm not the most aware person in the morning until after breakfast.
"If this is one of your pranks Madea, then this is pretty weak coming from the same girl who put a scorpion next to my face in the morning." Don't worry the stinger was removed, but doesn't change how high I ended up jumping out of bed. I find my bag. Knowing I always carry something to eat in it, I reach over and pull out something to sink my teeth into.
With something in my gut, I get myself down and take a look around. I have no idea where I am, maybe Madea did better than I thought. Might as well get going. I wonder if she left me my iPod? I look back in my bad and see my iPod... on top of the book. And just like that, I remember everything. "Guess this means I have to hide until I know what's going on. If that's the case, then where am I supposed to go?"
I start walking of in a random direction. With nothing better to do, I grab the book and see if I can find anything new. I'm not really expecting anything, just board and don't want to waste the battery if I can help it. Imagine my surprise when I find something new in the book.
Chapter 1: Seekers
Seekers are beings (Beings?) who can control Titans or utilize spells. (So they use magic?) Once a seeker has a Titan's Amulet/ring, that Titan can be summoned to fight at the Seeker's side. (Instead of for them? Good to know they aren't just some kind of slave.) Seekers who have collected Amulet's can also learn how to use magical powers that make them stronger than any regular beings. (Is that what those guys that attacked us were? Wait stronger than regular beings, Guess it was a good thing I ran instead of fought them head on.) When a Seeker bonds with a Titan, they are capable of summoning that Titan as long as they possess its Amulet. Although they can give the Titan's Amulet to another. Once the transfer has occurred, the new bond allows that Seeker to summon the Titan.
It just stops again. I'm not feeling like I've more questions than answer. The only thing I'm feeling is a headache after all that. I swear, if this magic junk or what ever doesn't kill me, then I'll do it myself. Everyone has something that will make them contemplate smashing there face against a brick wall, headaches are mine. It's when over people act like they're better than everyone else that makes me want to smash a wall with their face.
Since I can't find anything else in the book, I stick it back in my bag and keep moving. The forest seems to get thicker, the farther in I go. With how thick the tree tops are getting, it's going to be getting dark a lot sooner than it should. At least with a there being so little room up there, they won't be able to just fly a copter over the area to find me.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
That sounded like a girl. Can't be Madea, she gets the mouth of a sailor when she's in trouble. It might be those guys from before trying to trick me, or someone might actual be in trouble. If I don't check it's going to bug me all day. With my heroic inner monologue out of the way, I make my way in the direction of the scream.
After a little bit of power walking, I start hearing what sounds like a fight. Considering what the book said about Seeker's being on steroids, my procrastination is aloud. There is a small clearing up a head, and from the sound of it, that's where the confrontation is taking place. I stay low and out of sight, since I don't want to get caught in the crossfire. When I get close enough to see what is going on, I almost turned and ran like the devil's mother was after me. No sudden moves, they might stop fighting each other and come after me. Still What the heck are those things!
What are currently getting the snot beat out of them, are three guys covered in gold armor and using spears. The first guy doesn't have anything fancy on him, but one seems to have a horn of a unicorn stuck on his helmet. Another guy has, what looks like, a pair of white wings sticking out of his back. Worst part is that they're moving around like he's trying to fly. If the amount of breaks, dents, and blood on their armor is anything to go by, then they are loosing this fight. The guy with wings looks especially bad. A lot of the feathers on his wings seem to have been yanked out, and the wing itself looks ready to fall off at the slightest breeze.
The guys they are fighting don't seem to be in as bad shape. Only problem is there are eight of them, and look like someone crossed a cat and a bird with a human. I guess they're some kind of griffin people.They don't seem to have much in the way of armor and weapons, but why use a sword when you have claws? Or would those be talons? They seem to have taken a bit of a beating themselves, but look ready for another couple rounds. From what I can tell there are three guy's and five girls.
There also seem to be two girl... things? I don't know, they look like someone added horse DNA to a human. They are both off to the side away from the fight, hugging each other. One has white fur and long pink... mane I guess? Two white wings sticking out of her back, and a long horn coming from her head. Does that mean the horn on the helmet of that other guy is actually connected? The other one seem to have dark blue fur, wings, and horn. Might be related. Blue mane and... tail. They have tails! They all have tails!
"... How did I not see that before? Forget the strangeness of the situation for now. What can I do to even the odds?"
Looking around for something one of these guys might have dropped, preferably a gun. A guy can hope, can't he? A bit off to my right, I see what looks like a campsite, or what's left of it. ... Is there anything else around here that I don't see, or is that it? On the ground, about three yards from me, is a cast iron skillet. Okay, found a "weapon," now I just need some kind of distrac- And something just popped into my head. "Bingo"
Third Person:
(First time I'm trying this, so forgive me if I suck. Also because it's a pain, the old English is going to be limited to the princesses.)
The griffins were Converging on the weakened guards to finish them off and take their prize. The guards had not been ready to be jumped by griffins, because of this the griffins had been able to slip magic inhibitors onto the princesses. Even if they did miss the one unicorn, it didn't make that much difference in the fight anyways.
With the princesses out of the way, the odds had quickly fallen in favor the griffins. The guards had fought as best they could, but once their Pegasus had her feathers ripped from her wings, the fight had became one sided. With their unicorn losing energy to cast spells, the fight was practically over at this point.
"If you surrender now, we promise not to prolong your suffering any longer." Said the lead griffin, with a confident smirk. In return, the guards just glared at the leader of the attack. "I guess you just want to do this the hard way, to bad. Well you know what the want, kill-"
Out of no where music starts playing.
Everyone turns to the edge of the clearing to see where that music is coming from. The only thing they see is the bushes and tree just sitting there. The lead griffin turns to one of her subordinates. "Hey, go check it out." With the order given, the griffin goes into the woods to look for what is making the noise.
BAM!
The griffins turn around to find one of there own having been knocked out. The griffin closest to her ally saw something moving toward her. When she looked up, her vision had gone black.
BAM!
Then she hit the ground unconscious with a slightly broken and bloody beak.
The other griffins noticed this and everyone looked over to see some kind of fur less... thing in strange clothing, hold a frying pan. It looked over to the griffin, then turned and made a break to the forest to get away.
"Don't just stand there, get him!" And with that, two griffins started chasing the new creature. The Weird being got to the forest, but was about to be tackled by the griffins. It stopped, took a step to the side, then turned and swung the frying pan right into the face of the closer griffin. Knocking him out and breaking his beak, sending blood scattering over the area. Unfortunately, he did not have any time to react when the forth griffin grabbed him and slammed him into a tree.
"You little freak, you're going to pay for what you did." With that said, the griffin proceeded to grab the things throat and start to crush it. Along with that, the griffin also started jamming its claws into its gut as well. The being grabbed onto the griffins arm and tried to pull it off, but couldn't get it to budge.
"Will you stop playing and kill it already. We have work to do, in case you forgot."
"Okay boss, but can you blame me for wanting to have a fu-" BAM! The creature had taken this as its chance to get in another hit. With unknown strength, the being managed to knock the griffin away. While everyone was shocked, the being grabbed something from around its neck lifted it toward the sky, and spoke.
"Bring the Frost! NORDRAKE!" As it spoke, the thing in his hand started to glow. From behind the being, wings had spread out and what looks a dragon made from ice and stone had flown up, then landed behind the being. It stood about three times the being's height.

"GRRAAAAAAAAAA!!" The dragon had just roared into the air, but fire had not came out. Instead fog had been blasted out, and the air had grown much colder. The dragon had looked back to the griffin, who were now cowering, and growled.
"I suggest you chicken faced freaks grab your friends and leave." The being said with a look that you would give a toddler throwing a tantrum.
"A-And w-what makes y-you think we w-w-will?" Stuttered the lead griffin trying to give off the impression that she wasn't scared. This only got them a growl from the dragon. After that the other griffins rushed over and grabbed their sleeping friends and started to leave. Just about any griffin can take on a two or three ponies each. A dragon that size, would take a at least twenty griffins to kill it.
"Hold it." The griffins stopped dead in their tracks, afraid of what was to come. "I'm saw a couple of metal collars on those two, would one of you like to hand me the keys to them?"
The lead griffin growled, but one look from the dragon is all it took to get them to hand over the key. "Now get out of here, my friend is hungry and I don't think chicken is good for him." The griffins were going to say something, but the dragon chose that moment to growl and lick its maw. With that the griffins forgot they can fly and run like the they chickens they are.
"Okay big guy, back you go." The being said as it held up its hand. When he did that, the dragon changed into a purple energy cloud that soon covered him, then vanished. Once it was gone, the being dropped to the ground.
First Person:
Dear God, that was exhausting! Is this what it's like to be a seeker. There better be something about this in that book, or I'm burning it. After all that, I was on my back, trying to get my lungs to inflate for more than half a second at a time.
After a minute of eating air. I sit up and take a look around and see those the two girls looking at me in both confusion and... actually just confusion. Weird how they don't seem to be afraid. I look at the rock necklace mom gave me and see that it changed.

"Guess this is an amulet. I wonder what the titan looks like? Eh, I'll worry about that later." I get up, only to find standing up a little difficult, but nothing I can't handle. I walk over to the girls, still can't believe I missed the collars as well, then the three, ~~totally not about to pass out,~~ get in between us. Now that I'm closer, I notice that all three of them are female. The one with wings looks ready to die fighting, the other two... not sure what to do. "What are you doing?"
"We will not allow you to harm the princesses, Beast." The middle one says. From left to right: neither, wings, horn.
I raise an eyebrow at this. I save them and they treat me like I just told their kids there is no Santa, whatever. "Think fast." Then toss the key over to the winged one, who almost fell over if it wasn't for the one with the horn. They look at key, then back at me almost asking 'Why?'
"..."
"..."
"..."
"...Are you going to take those collars off of them, or are we going to have a starring contest?" And all three blush at little my comment, the one with a horn grabs the key and leave the one with wings to her fate. Really need to learn what they're called.
Bam! "Gah!" I'm going to say that was karma for calling me a beast. Besides it was a little funny. "Dammit Silent, did you really have to drop me." The grounded bird whines.
"Well you should have been more careful, if I wasn't here to catch you before then you would be dead from the fall. I mean really, you thought taking on eight griffins by yourself was a good idea?" For someone named silent, she sure wasn't. And just like that the collars were off. The second the princesses were standing, All three of them fell into a kneeling position and started asking if they were okay. They could die of blood lose any second now, and they're more concerned with if those two got grass stains on their dresses. I of course roll my eyes at this nonsense.
"Well, its bean fun, but I think I'll be going now." I turn and start walking off to retrieve my stuff. Then something happens, I'll give you three guess.
"HALT!" That got me grab to my ears to make sure they weren't bleeding. Good news, they aren't bleeding. Bad news, that gave me a headache. This isn't going to be my best first impression. I take the 'I'm going to kill you' face and put on my best 'High, I'm having the best day of my life! Please don't ruin it.'
"You need something?" Bad idea.
"How dare you speak to the princesses in such a way! Get on your-Gah!" Said the hot head with wings, walking up to me. She was about to try and force me onto the ground. needless to say, I didn't give her the chance.
"Will you shut up before I punch you in the face. You're giving me a headache."
"You know that works better when you wait to punch them." Said Silent. I think I see a grin forming on her.
"You're not helping Silent! And why are you standing there, this beast disrespected the prin-Gah!"
"That was for calling me a beast. Also, didn't I tell you to shut up?" At this point she looks ready to kill someone, namely me, and her nose (muzzle?) is bleeding a little
"Silence!" Once again, I need to check to make sure my ears aren't bleeding. Nope, just ringing. You know what, skip it." I start walking back over to my stuff. One of them goes to talk, but I beat them to it.
"I'm just getting my stuff, so if you could please not shout, that be great." There may have been a bit of venom, but my head is pounding, so I don't care. The hot head goes to ~~bitch~~ 'correct my treatment of royalty.' Once again I don't give her the chance. "You're shouting is giving me a headache, and I'm not the friendliest guy when I have a headache."
I go over, retrieve my things, and dig up my iPod. I make sure to turn it off first, don't want to waste the battery if I don't have to. Besides, you never know when a chicken will be coming for you. I go into my bag and pull of some chocolate covered espresso beans, they help with my headaches a lot better then aspirin. After downing a couple of those, I'm not going to get any sleep tonight, I make my way back over to the group. They seem to have recovered from their injuries. I raise an eye at this, but choose not to ask. I notice that Silent and the darker princess have a little smirk. The other princess and the guard that has been sitting there, no emotion what so ever. And then there's the hot head. Let's not give her the chance to start again.
"I have no problems answering your questions, however if she-" pointing to hot head. "-doesn't stay quit, then I'm out of here, okay... Also, keep your voices down, so I don't have to worry about my ears bleeding." Hot head goes to say something, but both myself and the pink haired princess stop her. Me, by pointing my finger at her. The princess, by raising her hand. Either way she shut up instantly. "Now that we got that out of the way, who wants to go first?"
(sorry if I butcher the old english.)
"Who art thou? Thou seem to be an earth pony, yet thou doeth not boweth to thy princesses." Says the pink head. Like red head but it's PINK! Anyway, the 'pony' comment gets my attention. I'm going to have to be careful with what I say about horses.
"My name is Alexander Beowulf. Also, I'm not a pony." They asked who I am, not for my real name. I still don't know if I can trust these guys, so better safe than sorry. The last part got me some weird looks.
"If thou isn't a pony, then what art thou?" This time it's the darker one.
"Human." My answer doesn't seem to help. If anything, hot head looks ready to attack me at the drop a dime.
"And what is a 'HOOMIN' exactly?" Thank you Silent for messing up the name of my species. This is going to take a while.
After talking back and forth for a while, I learned that I'm not in Kansans anymore. I had also learned that I'm in a place call Equestria, populated by unicorns, pegasi, and earth ponies. Strange thing is they say "earth" pony, but are referring to the land, dirt, ground, etc.
They land is currently ruled by, a forth race, the alicorn royal family. King something, queen who cares, and their kids princess Celestia (pink head), and princess Luna (the dark one). There are other races out there like the chickens, dragons, Diamond dogs, and changelings. They asked a bit about my stuff, but from what I saw of their technology level, I decided to play it off as a trick I know. Don't want these guys finding out about guns, still don't know if I can trust them or not. They asked how I made a dragon appear out of no where. Told them everything I knew and should them the book. There was only one new thing in there.
Titan: Nordrake
Attack: 4
Defense: 4
Size: Average
Type: Litho-Titan Sharp-shooter
Special Abilities: Ice blast
They were a little freaked when it said Nordrake was average sized. I tried calling him out again, but couldn't. Hot Head tackled me to the ground saying how I couldn't be trusted, worst part is the princesses asked if I could bring him out. I swear they knew that would happen. Also learned the guards are Hot Head (that's her real name, Who knew?), Silent Spell, and Iron Guard.
After all the questioning had been done, we all made our way back to the castle. I wanted to just leave all together, but apparently if a pony has a horn, then they can just levitate you with them. Celestia decided to show me how it worked. Needless to say, I wasn't happy. The entire time, hot head had been glaring at me, Iron didn't seem to care, and Silent was watching the scenery go by. I was being held hostage by magic, talking, anthro ponies. Celestia was looking through the book using every spell she could think of on it. No effect what so every.
"How many times do I have to tell you that you're wasting you time? I lost count somewhere around twenty eight." I say to Celestia, as she continues to make my book glow gold. Yes, I am now claiming the thing that has caused me nothing but trouble, as my property.
From what I could tell she either didn't hear me, or didn't care. But of course one of them decides to take this chance to speak. "I thought I told you to respect the princesses, beast." Hot head will never learn, will she.
With a fake British accent, I reply. "My Apologies, my dear. Shall I start treating those have taken me hostage with the respect they deserve" Hot head smiles at my response, clearly thinking she has won. Please tell me you aren't that stupid.
"See to it that you do just that." This is going to be great. I can see Silent and Iron face palming. Luna seems to be smirking.
"Right now?" I can hear Silent mumble about how stupid her friend is. And Iron gives Hot Head a look that creams 'you poor naive dumb-ass, you brought this on your self.'
"Immediately." She growls a little. You asked for it.
"If you say so, Hot Head." I smile like I just cheated the devil and got away with it. The second I say that, three things happen. First, Luna cast a spell around herself and her sister. Second, Silent and Iron fold their ears back and cover them. And Third, Hot Head looks at me confused. I then suck in some air, then let it out, like so.
"HELP, THESE PSYCHOPATHS ARE KIDNAPPING ME AND ARE PLANNING ON USING ME AS A BLOOD SACRIFICE TO SUMMON CTHULHU! I keep screaming about death, killing, demons, and all other kinds of bad voodoo stuff I can think of, as well as thrash about in my none physical bindings, for a good five minutes. Once I'm done, Hot head looks like she just had a flash band go off near her. She was blinking, opening and closing her mouth, Rubbing her ears, and swaying on her feet, hooves, whatever they have.
Luna was nice enough to put the spell she cast on Iron and Silent after the first minute. They were glaring at us, mostly Hot Head for being stupid. I just give them an innocent smile, while Hot Head glares a hole into my head and growls like the animal she is. I think someones fangs are showing.
"That is enough out of the both of thou, now be quiteth before I placeth s silence spelleth onto the both of thou." Said Luna with a bit of irritation from my screaming bloody murder. Needless to say that shut Hot Head up and got her to leave me alone. Finally.
during this how event, celestia had not once taken her eyes of the book. I swear if there was a tree in her path, she would just walk into it, get knocked on her ass, and keep looking through it like nothing happened. She's as bad as a sixteen year old girl calling her boy friend and stuck in the 'No you hang up first' thing. Never understood that, probably never will.
"Hey Celestia, find anything new in the book yet?"
With a sigh, she response. "Nay-" Don't laugh, don't laugh, take this seriously, Dam it. "-We hast not been able to findeth aught anything new the charm cast on this booketh."
"Eh, don't worry about it, I sure the info in there will make itself known when it wants to."
"...Info?" All five ask at once. Here we go again.
After explaining 'slang' and 'It's not what you say, it's how you say it,' Celestia had gone back to blessing my book to ward off evil spirit. After a bit longer, the sun had started to go down. With the night setting we (and by that I mean everyone else) decided to stop and rest. The guards start working on getting food and Luna decides to take away Celesta's addiction, but nothing is ever that simple.
This leads the two to start fighting over it, which then escalates into other stuff I don't care about. At the moment, I'm more concerned with the fact that the book is floating with two different colored aura around it. "Uh... girls, is that supposed to be happening?" My efforts to gain the attention of the two princess was in vain.
"Girls?" Now I'm starting to see in two shades as well.
"Girls!" Bad move.
"WHAT!" And that was the last thing I saw before everything went white.
Author's Note
Before you start complaining how The princess aren't moving the sun and moon. They have yet to gain the strength to do that, so it's their parents who take care of it.
Okay you know the drill. like comment, correct me if I messed up.
If you want me to put a character in, have an idea for the story, or titan, let me know.
Other than that, thanks for ready
