A Strange But Familiar Place
Pony Camouflage
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSo, Trixie has a lot of differences as compared to the show as well huh? I suppose they can't put everything in there. Welp, time to take a quick shower before I pack and go to Rarit....
Obsidian is in the bathroom, just walking out of the shower. Her mane and tail are made of bright green leaves and vines while her coat is a dark, almost black, wood. The joints to her legs and neck are missing completely and are just floating there in place. Obsidian's irises are green and glowing gently while her face goes from a smile to an instant serious look as she must have realized she doesn't look normal anymore. I feel something rough swirl around my body and hold it tightly. The sound of wood moving is in the air along with the scent of a forest more so than usual. The roots stop after I can't move anymore and there's only a slight uncomfortably feeling put on my body. She instantly gains a slightly more glowing look to her mane and tail and looks at me with panic. I stare back, somewhat surprised but with a smile.
"Hello Obsidian Bark, I see that you aren't a pony." I say while looking around.
Obsidian looks at me with confusion and then sighs. "No, I am not a pony Devan." she replies while sitting down, her mane still flowing a bit in the air.
Okay, this is fucking weird. What is she? I suppose I shouldn't freak out but she is a freaking tree! Fluttershy would be so jealous.... Huh, I guess I should ask about it huh? Don't really want to sit here forever.
"So, story time?" I say while laying my head on one of the roots.
She looks at me and then casts a spell, or at least I think she did from how my body felt warm.
"Promise me you won't tell another being about this." she says in a serious tone with a bigger glow around her eyes and 'mane'.
I nod, putting away the smile I had on and making sure she knows I'm serious.
Her eyes glow with an even more fierce and deep green as the air around me starts to glow intensely. After a few seconds it suddenly stops and the roots around me slowly move back into the floor of the bathroom. "Okay, the pact is made..." she says after a few moments of silence.
"So, do I die if I tell another being about you?" I say with a nervous laugh.
"Yes, you will." Obsidian replies as she focuses on slowly turning back to her pony appearance.
Welp, that's just great. A guardian with a spell on me that will kill me if triggered. Fantastic.
"Well, now that the requirements are met, going to tell me about your past? I was thinking changeling because of the green, but I suppose you aren't that." I say while stretching out my back and legs.
"I don't really have time for my whole past, but if you're wondering what I am it's a bit simple actually. I'm a magical experiment gone wrong. A mix between an alpha Timberwolf and an Earth Pony. When I woke up I had no memories of the past before that and had new powers and appearance. I could move nature around almost on will and have an extended life if I use natures power. That's all you need to know for now." Obsidian says while getting up to leave the bathroom.
"That's all you're going to tell me?" I say with confusion.
"Yes, because I need to go and so do you, or do you not remember?" she says in reply halfway through the door.
Right, Rarity is waiting for me... But how did she know that?
I look up to ask her but she's already gone. I sigh and walk out to my room and pack everything up.
Fucking knew that she wasn't normal.
