Silver-Chains

It had been two days since I had reunited with Fluttershy. Everything is going well, except for when I slipped on Fluttershy's pet bear's slobber that made me fall crashing into a family of porcupines. Fluttershy had to remove the needles that covered my entire back and boy did it hurt like hell on earth. I helped Fluttershy afterwards with her chores while she was busy with other tasks or duties.

Luckily for me she didn't know that I was helping her, she was either too busy and forgot about them or she thought she had already done them. Yeah she would probably guess I was above the average human on this world or blow my cover if she caught me cleaning, or at least that's what this book says. Fluttershy had brought home one of the books about humans and how they normal behave, from Twilight's castle. Apparently humans are unable to do home chores or at least never were able to finish the chore they are given.

From this book I learned that humans are hardly used for anything other than pets or food. Apparently humans are still considered as food in this world to most animals. Mainly to wild animals and two other groups of sentient species. To be honest I was not surprised that there's Griffins and Dragons in this world, cause well... just look at what I found already.

I am currently in the living room right now waiting for Fluttershy to leave to go be with her friends for their picnic. My plan is to leave the house when she leaves, and begin exploring this 'Everfree' which is suppose to be very dangerous. Even though it looks like a normal forest to me, but then again I look like an normal human to them.

Fluttershy entered the room with grasping the basket tightly in her muzzle. "Bi Ciler ime oft two te pcnc now" she informed right before leaving. I quickly got up and walked over to the window watching her till she was no longer visible. I then turn to Angel and nodded. I recently learned that he was quite intelligent for an animal just by watching his actions. I gestured him to follow me into the my room, where I showed him my stash of his favorite type of food.

He looked up and gave me an expression of curiosity. I pointed at him then place a finger over my lips, then I pointed at myself right before I pointed out the window. It took a moment but he nodded in agreement, giving me his word to not inform Fluttershy. With that done I leave to my journey through the Everfree forest.

To be honest I have no idea what to expect, if this place is as dangerous as these ponies say then I wonder what could make them think that. Truth be told I know nothing about this forest the only one I remember was...

France, December 12th

I was running deep in a war turned forest where most of the trees had died off due to artillery that had significantly destroyed and burnt them to a crisp. The further I went into the forest the more carnage I witnessed, dozens of soldiers lay lifeless due to many unspeakable causes. The lucky ones died quickly, that goes for the Germans as well. I looked back for a second to see if my mates made it thus far with me.

I saw a sad sight indeed, only one of my pals Charles. Charles held a happy smile on his face as he raced with me to the enemy's front line. I turned to my right to see my good friend Simon running beside me, he had that fearful look in his eyes. I looked forward into the light where we were finally leaving the forest and entering an open field.

Yeah, I think its best not to continue... damn it. Looking around my surroundings I found myself in the Everfree forest, I must have walked into it while I was having those flash backs. Or perhaps I was running? I am pretty tired and my legs are a bit sore too. I looked up to the sky to see how long I was reliving my past. Luckily for me it was perhaps less than a few minuets till noon. Well... better continue anyway now that I am here.

Walking in this place reminds me a lot like the other forest or at least what it should of have been before the war. Dense sometimes and thin at other times, however some of these plants don't look like they could have lived back home on Earth. Like theses patches of this weird glowing blue flower, from my knowledge there is no such thing.

Clearing through a brush I found myself at a river, with no way to cross it. If I was able to find some way across it would be perfect, but that will have to be delayed for now. I have to make it back towards Fluttershy's cottage, I still had time till she would most likely leave her friends and return home. However I wanted to explore the area around town more by using the edge of the forest to mask myself.

If I ever needed a place to hide this forest would do, the ponies are afraid of it and the most of the trees hid the floor from sunlight keeping any pegasi from looking down at the ground. Not to mention that it would be easy to build a shelter with the supplies that the forest supplies. Suddenly there was a loud snap echoing off from the trees. Quickly turning to my left where I heard the snapping noise, I readied myself for what might come out by picking up a nearby stick.

Two glowing orange eyes peered at me from a distance, giving me a chill across my spine. The two more sets of eyes appeared from behind it, meaning I was out numbered three to one. I don't like the odds and I don't think that the stick would help really so... Quickly I begin running not looking back not even for a second, I don't want to end up animal food for anything in this world.

Pain shot up my legs as I continued to run and jump past obstacles. I was pushing myself to my limit, I would have to stop soon. When I do chances are what ever I am running from will catch up with me. I stopped just in time as a large wooden like creature jumped up at me, its claws nearly missing my chest.

Out of reaction I swung it, having it collide with the beast's head, breaking the stick into two. Well... dammit, I see why the ponies don't like the Everfree now. Quickly looking over it I noticed that the beast's body was made of wood, leaves and other plant like objects that somehow kept it together. How it was alive was beyond me, there was no escape from this beast or at least for now that is. I will just have to fight it and hope to eliminate it before it's two friends arrive.

The beast growled before pounced at me, I quickly evaded and countered with a kick to the muzzle. It was dazed for a second but then swiped at me after it recovered. I did my best to stay away from its claws, however it got a good scratch on my right arm. Reaching for a nearby rock I grasp it and bashed its skull, which caved in leaving the beast dead. Glaring at the dead creature my curiosity wandered to many things.

Like how did this creature move properly, why did it attack me, could it even consume food and what could've made such a creature that broke laws of nature like so? Amazed of this creature I was, it's existence would have been thought impossible back home. However this will have to wait I need to get back to the cottage so I can treat my wound. If I'm lucky I can hide it from Fluttershy afterwards.

Once I returned I went into the kitchen and searched for the first aid kit, thankfully I didn't have to search for too long. Wrapping the wound with a bandage I then proceeded to the living room to read a book while I wait for Fluttershy to return home. Most of Fluttershy's books were informational on animals or were short fairy tales for little children, which made me wonder why she had them in the first place.

I had just put the book back on the shelf when Fluttershy returned an hour later. She came home with a cheery smile and said hello to every animal and me. "I see you have been a good boy, while I was gone" she said towards me. You have not a clue, and I hope it will stay that way.
