Dangerous meetings

"Discord, what do you think it is?" Asked Luna as she was poking the mysterious creature that was sprawled out on the ground. Luna was also pretty sure that one of the creature's arms wasn't supposed to bend that way. Ouch.

"No idea, Lulu... A hairless Minotaur perhaps?"

“No, Minotaur's have more bulk and have horns, this one doesn’t have either.” Said Luna as she was examining this mysterious creature. “It seems to be warmer than an average minotaur as well.”

“Luna! I never thought you to be a pervert!” Discord said in mock shock.

“Discord, this isn’t the time to be playing games, this creature is unknown to us and was summoned from Tia by using all of her magic. This creature must be very strong to knock out Tia.” Luna said as she glared at the creature.

“Well what should we do with it? We can’t just leave it!” Discord reasoned.

“Actually, Discord, we could do just that.” Luna deadpanned.

“Luna, although we don’t know this creature or its origins that’s no reason to leave it in this state unprotected” countered Discord.

“Actually, Discord, we could do just that, after all, it did put Celestia out of commission.” responded Luna.

“If I recall, that was me who did that, thank you very much” Discord stated proudly.

“That doesn’t help your case very much, Discord.” Luna said while getting more annoyed.

“That’s besides the point, the fact is we’re not leaving this creature to die out in the wilderness, that would be cruel!”

“Well we have to either leave it and take Tia or leave Tia and take it, we’re in the middle of the forest and anything can attack us if we don’t leave now!”

As Luna said that, Discord and Luna heard rustling come from the tree line, what came out of the tree line was not what they were expecting. What they were expecting was a small wild animal that anyone could take care of. What they got was a large group of Bandits. They were equipped with knives and long swords and would seem they've been used before with how battle worn the blades look, but still looked sharp enough to cut and pierce their leather armor.

The large group consisted of five Ponies, two Unicorns and three Pegasi, five Diamond Dogs, two Minotaurs, and the other eight were Griffons. Luna and Discord were surprised to see that there weren’t any other races with them.

“Well that's a damn shame there, I was thinking we would kill y’all nice and quietly, but then you had to say somethin’ didn't ya.” A Minotaur said, stopping at about ten feet away from Luna and Discord.

Luna and Discord now knew who the leader of this bandit group was. Discord, using his silver tongue and his usual jovial attitude, tried to give the bandits a good laugh in hopes of trying to persuade the bandit group not to attack them.

“You see, Lulu? Even this roguish Bandit called out your jinx.” Discord said, praying that this bandit didn’t have the brains to realize that he just insulted him.

“Some offence taken…Now drop everything you have and we'll be taking the blue and white one off yer hands, maybe even that creature layin’ on the ground over there.” the Bandit said, smiling as weird one in front of him failed in trying to get on his good side.

Luna and Discord tensed up after the persuasion attempt failed. Luna was worried, with Tia still awake, the trio could easily take them on with Tia’s deep magic reserves. But the duo still awake didn’t have Tia available, they were quite literally, fucked sideways.

“Whoa… where am I?” Logan said unsurely as he sat up, seeing a white void before him.

“You are unconscious at the moment." responded a mysterious voice.

“Oh, well who is talking to me right now? God?” Logan responded. Now Logan never was a believer of God or gods, but was willing to accept God or gods if they shown themselves to the world

The mysterious voice laughed as if Logan told the funniest joke of all time. The voice revealed itself to be Humanoid, but possessed no real body, just quite literally a humanoid shape.

“Hahaha… No, that would be YOUR position.” The mysterious being said mirthfully.

“Wait a second, me? A god? Bullshit, I am nowhere close to becoming anywhere near a god or god-like, I would have go on some epic quest first, bring back some powerful artifact then I'll be a god, or at least that’s what happens in video games…” Logan said confused. At the way the Mysterious Being looked, and how he is a god.

“Well this isn’t a video game now is it? It is true, you are God, or rather, a god out of seven billion other gods.” responded the mysterious voice.

“Wait step back a bit, seven billion? Who are the other seven billion gods?” Logan asked astonishingly.

“Well if I would tell you that it would take years now wouldn’t it? And I'm sure we don’t have that long in here now do we, I mean, naming each and every individual on your planet would take a considerable amount of time.” The mysterious voice said smugly.

Logan face palms, “That was a stupid question… Sorry ‘bout that...” Logan says embarrassed.

“There's no need to apologize you were simply curious, but let's stop beating around the bush, so do you know what you're the god of?” The mysterious voice said getting serious.

“Well obviously not since I just found out I'm a god, kind of a dumb question now isn't it?” Logan tried to make light of the situation.

“It would seem you caught me there but that's not the point you my friend are the god of Will, or rather, the Half-god of Will.” The voice stated finally.

“I don’t understand.. How can I be a Half-god?” Logan tried to comprehend.

“Let me elaborate, you remember how your family died?, well instead of just wallowing in self pity you however went on to help others from meeting the same fate YOU had the will to press on and help others and not just give up when your family died YOU wanted to change the fate of others so they won’t have to experience the same thing you did, and that is the reason you are the Half-god of will” The voice said getting stronger with compassion.

“How…. how did you know about that… And that still doesn’t explain how I’m a Half-god” Logan said sadly and still confused.

The mysterious being chuckles and responds to Logan's’ former question while dodging his latter question.

“Well, since about 5.8 billion gods on your world want someone to pray to or “guide” them, those gods created me, which gave me access to all of your minds, well, except for your sensual memories, I blocked that out myself.” The mysterious being said, looking smug.

“Yeah, it would be weird if you knew what everyone on my world were into…” Logan said, blushing.

"Hmmhmmhmm. Yes, it would be weird, but we don’t have a lot of time.” The Mysterious Being said.

“Why not? I’m unconscious, so we could be here for however long.” Logan reasoned.

“That’s because your Universe won’t allow me more time then I requested.” The Mysterious Being explained, “You see, your Universe is alive, it thinks, it breathes, it feels, and it reproduces in a certain sense.” The mysterious being tried to explain.

“Whoa whoa whoa, my Universe is alive? It can reproduce?!” Logan said being extremely confused.

“Well, I said in a sense, you see, your Universe is the first, so that means the “Big Bang Theory” you gods have is correct. But that is the same for every other Universe, your Universe gives of the first two “Elements” in an area of space that isn't occupied by another Universe. What the other Universe puts in comes from you and your “Game Developer's” ideas. The reason you got out of your Universe, is that your Universe was focusing on something else, and you just slipped through the cracks.” The mysterious being explained.

“I...Think I get it now, maybe? It’s really hard to comprehend all of this information that you just gave to me. Also, what’s gonna happen to me when I do wake up, I might’ve been asleep for hours, something could happen to my body.” Logan said, anxious to know where he may be and what may happen to him when he wakes up.

“Funny you should ask that, because we’re out of time. When you wake up, you will get the power you wanted before you left, but like everything, it will come at a price. You will be able to copy the power your foe wields, but only certain foes. Also, another price, when something traumatic happens to you, like losing a loved one or being tortured, you will go on a rampage. Virtually no one will be able to stop you until you pass out from over using your power. Last thing to know about your power, since you never had it before, I will have to “awaken” you power, which will result in you losing control of your body while it rampages until you over-exert yourself,” The mysterious being revealed about his power. “This power is called the “Alpha Stigma, you may have heard of it, but I can’t explain anything more to you, you’re waking up.”

“But I still have questions!” Logan tried to say before a wall of black came rushing to his face.

Logan was gonna say something else, but an overwhelming pain shot through his eyes and into his brain. Letting out an ear-piercing screech, Logan tried to drown out his pain through screaming, but to no avail.

Just after the Bandit Leader described what was gonna happen, an ear-piercing screech tore through the air. Luna and Discord looked behind them to see that the creature on the ground was trying to hold it’s eyes, but it's helmet was blocking its hands while it dug it's weird boot-looking fabric into the ground, while a wave of magic rammed into everyone in the vicinity of this creature, knocking everyone to the ground.

The Bandits, Luna, and Discord were to scared to get back up after they were knocked down. What kind of creature could have this much power.

It was safe to say that, almost everyone there shit their pants.
