Yasheen's Dream Realm
I was meditating while I was sleeping. I kinda got power of my own dreams so I can dream up anything or my dark self would try and take over my body but after so many of his failed attempts,he gave up so we just train or talk.
"It seems that you developed feelings for the purple one"My Dark side said
"Yes it appears that I have,well lets be real here,I am stuck here possibly forever unless I ascend to God form and we both know how hard that is to achieve,so I might as well just adjust to this new life.It can not be so too hard so....." I said but was interrupted as I sensed someone in my Realm.
"You sense it to I see"My dark side said as he drew his sword
"Yes but now it has vanished,seems we scared it off ,oh well I won't train for today."I said as I materialized a bed and laid on it
"Wow really,first time seems that Twilight has already made a mark on you" He said with a grin
"Ya ya ok I see your point there anyway I'll check you in the next dream"I said as I saw my dark side disappear and then I passed out
As I was asleep in my dream bed.Unaware that a certain dark blue pony came near me and watched me sleep
Reality
I woke up to feeling something heavy on me.Curious,I opened my eyes and they went wide when I saw that it was Twilight laying on top of me.I thought she just had her arm on me.Well now I was stuck but actually since I'm a powerful human,so I carefully lifted her and slid out and lowered her back.I then heard Twilight mutter my name in her sleep. I just shrugged and went to the bathroom. I had to pleasant shower and put on a black shirt and black track pants and a red hoddie. I placed my sheath with my sword around onto my back and headed downstairs to see that the girls already woke up and were putting their sleeping bags away.
"Morning Ladies"I said with a smile
"Morning Yasheen,how was your sleep?"Twilight asked with a light blush.
"I slept great and I assume I was a soft enough mattress for you"I said with a smirk
Twilight went absolutely red at this statement."Uhm..uhh.uh..sorry Yasheen"She said with as she looked like she was on the verge of tears
"Hey hey hey,no need to stain that beautiful face with tears now,I had my pleasant sleep and so did you,so there's no need to cry ok.Plus I couldn't live with myself knowing I made a beautiful girl cry."I said as I walked up to her and wrapped my arms around her for a hug.
This action caused the other girls to go 'aww' and made Rainbow give a 'get a room' look.
"So are you ok now Twilight?"I asked while looking into her perfect purple eyes.
"Yes I am,thank you Yasheen"She said and kissed me on my cheek.It was my turn to blush which caused her to giggle.
"Ok now that that's sorted,what's for breakfast?"I asked while looking at all of them and releasing the hug.
"Well what do you usually have for breakfast darling?"Rarity said while checking her hair.
"Hm,normally I train first for an hour then I just some fruits,so you got any apples?"I said while looking at all of them
"Here ya go sugarcube"Applejack said as she tossed me 3 apples.
I caught them and and walked with them until we made it to the dining room where there were 7 chairs.For some reason I sat in between Twilight and Rarity again.Applejack, Pinkie and Fluttershy sat opposite us while Rainbow sat at one end of the table.The table was a big size and on was the biggest batch of pancakes I've ever seen. While we ate,we conversed on what was gonna happen for the day.Twilight would give me a tour of Ponyville.Rarity had another dress to complete for a client.Fluttershy had to take care of her animals,Pinkie said she had to plan a party for somepony and Rainbow had to go practice some flying moves.Applejack then just realised something as her facial expressions showed it.
"Hoo nelly Ah just remembered that Ah need to go and pull out the trees that died at the end of our Orchard. Them trees are gonna be a real challenge."She said
"Hey AJ,I can help if you want?" I said
"Thanks sugarcube but are ya sure ya can handle it. Them trees are still rooted to the ground pretty deep?"She asked with a look of concern.
"Yes AJ I'm sure I can handle it,I just want one thing in return?"I asked
"What is it?"She asked curiously
"Could I have that piece of land,I need to train and test my abilities again."I said with worried look hoping she say yes.
"Well if ya can get rid of the trees,then the land is yours sugarcube" She said with a smile
"Awesome,when can we go?"I asked,my face oozing enthusiasm
"How about now,Applejack needs to get there early anyway and I come with you so don't get lost"Twilight said as she used her magic to lift up the dishes and put them in the sink
We all agreed and we all left to do our jobs,well I still had to get one. Me,Twilight and Applejack were walking through Ponyville,I had my hoodie on as to draw little attention.Twilight asked me as to why I had my sword with me. I told that it was just incase of an emergency and also I need it in order to train.As walked through the village,Twilight showed me the buildings that we passed like Sugarcube corner where Pinkie works,the Carousel Boutique where Rarity works and the Spa where I might be able to get a job.As we left Ponyville,I was starting to get bored as we walked towards Sweet Apple Acres.I decided to see if my charming skills were still as good.I tapped on Applejack 's shoulder and whispered to her to keep quiet and she nodded with a confused look.While Twilight was looking at Celestia's sky,I moved my right arm around her back without touching her then I tapped her shoulder and quickly retracted my hand. She looked to her right to see what touched and saw nothing,I took this opportunity to quickly created a purple rose and held in front of me face.When she turned to look at me ,her eyes went wide.The rose I created had the same purple colour as her coat and also had a lighter purple strip along each petal.She looked at me and blushed as she took the rose from my hand and placed it on her left ear and then looked at me.Her eyes just made my feelings for her excel to new levels,I thought I lost my voice for a second so I just mumbling.
"uhh..uhh.uuhh.uuhh..uhh"I said as couldn't get my mind around this beautiful pony.
She giggled"Hey Yasheen maybe you could show me how you train when your done pulling out the trees?"She asked which snapped me out of my thoughts
"Ya sugarcube I wanna see if ya as tough as ya say ya are"AJ said with a smirk
"Ok sure,you girls are gonna be shocked" I said with a smirk
We arrived at the entrance of Sweet Apple Acres and I saw a Large male pony carrying a barrel to a big red barn.The moment this dude saw me,he immediately rushed up to me and punched my chest,only to hit his mark and retract his hand and clutch it in pain.I didn't even flinch from it and this shocked the mares.
"Big Mac,ya ok partner?"Aj asked the red stallion.
"Eeyup"He said as he shook his hand a bit before getting a good look on me.
"You sure you ok man,that looked like it hurt?"I asked with concern
"Eeyup,Ah just need sum ice and Ah'll be fine"He said as he went inside the farm house.
"Ah better go help him,he can be stubborn,Twilight the dead trees are at the end of easy side of the farm. Please take Shadow there to remove them"AJ said as she entered the house.
There was an awkward silence while we were walking to the place,I kept screaming in my mind to say something,I finally managed to say something
"Twilight,could I ask you something?"I asked and she nodded."Well would ever consider yourself a great teacher?"I asked
"Maybe a little bit,why do you ask?"She said
"Well I might need to be educated on your species customs and traditions so I can better adapt to this place."I said
She grew a smile so big it looked like it would tear her face in half.That smile almost looked creepy,almost."Yes of course,I would love to educate you on our customs"She said
We arrived at the place to see so many dead trees that plagued this area. The land was big enough for my training.
"Well we're here so lets begin"I said as I took off my hoodie and cracked my knuckles.
"How are you going to remove all these trees Yasheen ,there at least 50 of them and AJ said that their roots are still deep in the ground?"She asked
"Well Twilight I am not technically a pure human because I have certain abilities that humans cannot use like flight and also Super strength."I said as I grabbed two trees and lifted them without any trouble
"What really?!"She asked as she stopped writing on her notepad
"Yes I am that strong,I used my strength when I had to lift you off of me and I'm curious to why you mumbled my name in your sleep"I asked while I removed another two trees
"Uhmm...uhh...no reason"she said in a panic state
"Relax Twi,you don't have to tell me if you don't want to"I said
"Uhhmm Yasheen at this rate you wont finish by the end of the day"she said as she pointed towards the other trees
"Your right,lets speed this up"I said as I tested my wings
I then shot up in the air and dived down while punching each of the trees into a pile.Once that was done I landed near Twilight who had her jaw wide open.I walked up to her and closed it which snapped her train of thought.
"You ok Twi?"I asked while looking into her eyes
She blushed"Yes I'm fine just you did that in such an incredible speed"she said
"Oh that,yea I am pretty fast"I said with a smirk
"Oh Wow partner,I didn't expect ya to finish this quickly"I heard Aj said as she walked up to us
"Yes well can I have this field now Aj"I asked
"Ah did say yes Yasheen and so here ya go"Aj handed me a big juicy red apple
I took a bite and my mind went blank but my body felt like it got an adrenaline rush.I quickly finished the apple.
"Wow Aj this apple gave me an energy rush,I feel as if I can do my training in a minute"I said as I jumped up and down
"Well why don't ya show then sugarcube"Applejack said with a smirk
I nodded and began my training session,I decided to only do physical exercises and no sword training.I began with 150 push ups then 200 sits up and finally I flew around the flew at great speeds for about a minute and then landed back only to see not two but three jaws wide open.Twilights,Applejacks and Rainbow Dashs. They snapped out of their trances and we walked back to the farm house
"Hey Yasheen,do you do that training everyday?"Rainbow Dash asked
"Yes but that's only my warm up Rainbow Dash"I said as I stretched my arms out
"Just Dash dude and WHAT just is that your warm up?!"Dash screamed into my ear
"Yes it is and is that who I think it is"I said as I saw a familiar little filly run up to us.
"Howdy Applebloom,Hows that bruise of ya's?"Aj asked
"Its better sister,and hi Yasheen and thank you for saving me and my friends"Applebloom said as she hugged me
"Hey no problem Applebloom,its what a hero does"I said as I took a pose which in turn made the filly giggle, I then picked up the filly and placed her on my shoulders while we walked to the farm house
"Hey what do guys do around here for fun ?"I asked while I carried AB on my shoulders
"Normally we just carry on our own business,and sometimes we get together and have a picnic or just talk to each other"Twilight said with a smile
"Well how about we go to Sugarcube Corner for some lunch"Aj suggested
"That sounds like a wonderful idea Aj,race you all!" I yelled as I run with AB still on my shoulders only to see a cyan blur pass me and Aj as well.
So I decided to kick it up a notch. I told AB to hold on tight which she did,then I used my wings and zipped passed Aj and was coming up to Dash. I passed her and flashed a wink before something caught my eye and I stopped in front of a shop which looked like some type of Forge.I placed AB on the floor and I entered to a male earth pony as I learned from Twilight.He had a slightly scruffy Light Grey coat with a jet black short Mane and had an Anvil and Hammer on his shoulder as his cutie mark.He seemed to be forging a sword of some sorts.
"Hello sir,Are you a Blacksmith by any chance?" I asked him
"Why yes I am,why do...."He said as turn only to be shocked at my sight,He then tried to hit him with his hammer but I easily dodged his attacks
"Hey I'm looking for a job man!"I said which seemed to calm him down
"What are you exactly?"He asked while carefully looking at me
"My name is Yasheen Shadow but please call me Yasheen and well I'm a human"I said which caused his jaw to drop but he quickly composed himself.
"Oh nice to meet you Yasheen,my name is Drop Forge,well if you want a job then show me what you can do"He said and gestured to the work space
"No problem"I said as I cracked my fingers and began forging.I love making weapons and working in a Forge.I had to make my own weapons before the master sword which I got from the Temple of Time but that's a story for another day.
I made a simple sword and presented it to him. He took it and gave it a few swings before nodding"Well it seems you have a great skill in forging weapons,you definitely get the job"He said with a smile
"YES,thank you so much sir,when should I come?"I asked
"You can come on Mondays,Wednesdays and Thursdays and please call me Drop Forge"He said as he extended his hand which I shook.
"Well as much as I love to stay,I got to go and get something to eat,check you later dude"I said as I left the Forge
I walked through Ponyville with my hood over my head until I entered Sugarcube Corner to see Twilight,Rainbow Dash and Applejack sitting by a table eating some pastries.I walked up and sat next to Twilight who had a light blush on her face.
"Hey there girls,hows the food?"I asked with a smile
"It's great Yasheen,here have a bite"Twilight said as she gave me a cupcake
I took a bite and my taste buds just jumped for joy.
"Mmmmmm this is amazing" I said as I finish it and ate another two
Then Rarity and Fluttershy entered and saw us and came towards us.
"Hello Rarity and Fluttershy"I said with a smile
"Hello everyone,We just came here for a quick bite before going to the Spa for a massage"Rarity said while flicking her mane.
"That's cool,I never got a massage before"I said which everyone just stared dumbfounded at what I just said
"You didn't get a massage!,oh no is an emergency,your coming with us immediately!"Rarity said as she pulled me out the shop
The rest joined us only laugh when they saw that Rarity was pulling me by my hoodie like I was a small child. We arrived inside to see this amazing Spa building.
"Welcome to the Ponyville Spa Miss Belle and Miss Fluttershy and...."a pink mare with blue mane said but got a shock when she saw me.
"Aloe I need your help,this stallion is in need of a massage stat!" Rarity said
"Oh zis will not do,quick Lotus get him to a change room and give him a robe"Aloe said in a European accent to a blue mare with pink hair
I stood up and followed the mare who gave me a black towel and showed me to the change rooms.I entered the room and took off all my clothes except for my boxers.I came out and rejoin with the mane 6 who were wearing robes which had their cutie marks on their hips and the two spa ponies.I then saw that the spa ponies had blushes when they saw my torso.
"Hey excuse me but I came here for a massage please"I said which snapped them out of their trance
"Yes of course,follow me"Aloe said
We followed them untill we arrived at the Massage tables.They all insisted that I go first so I entered and took off my towel and laid on my stomach and place my head on my hands.I felt the pink mares hands along my shoulders and it was simply amazing.
"My my my,you are so tense Sir,I am surprised you haven't pulled a muscle yet"She said as she worked along my back
"Please,call me Yasheen and well this is my first massage so what did you expect."she said
She carried on all over back and then she pressed my lower back side. That caught my attention.
"Excuse me,please do not massage my lower back side,its not necessary"I said in a calm tone
"Of course Yasheen,it's just that we offer that here,but only at the clients request"She said as she continued
When the massage was over,I stood up and stretched out and my body felt fresh and more flexible.
"Well it would appear that I needed that,thank you very much Aloe"I said with a smile
"Oh its not a problem Yasheen"She said as we left the massage room.I quickly left and changed and got back to the entrance and waited for the girls.
They all came back fully clothed and we left.It was night time by then and the sky looked absolutely marvellous.The stars looked brilliant and moon looked as if a God had carved it to perfection.Everyone left except for Twilight and me. We left off to the Library. Once we reached there.Twilight went to sleep but not before giving me a hug and thanking me for the day.
I laid on my bed looking at the ceiling.What were those images that flashed through my mind yesterday night.It had something to do with that Tri-Force.I focused on the images and saw something that rocked my mind. It was my sword in the mans hands.
"Ay I wont get anything by just thinking of it,lemme just go to sleep"I said as I closed my eyes and fell asleep
