Silver-Chains
War Journal Memories 1
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSmoke was clearing from the explosion that the spell had caused when it impacted Silver just a few moments ago. Fluttershy and Twilight were protected at the last second by Twilight's shield spell. "Um Twilight what happen and where is Silver?" Fluttershy asked as Twilight scanned the room for a trace of him.
"I don't know the spell shouldn't have reacted like that and there's no trace of Silver, so perhaps he was teleported somewhere" Twilight explained as she looked around the library for any evidence that he was vaporized or body parts.
The white light was all that I could see and silence filled the air. Then I was slowly starting to see shapes appear from the light as a ringing began to play in my ears. I was on my knees from what I could tell and I was looking down at my hands which was slightly warmer than normal.
Slowly color started to fill my vision as I realize that there was blood on my hands and on the chest of my olive-green jacket. Slowly I looked up at another body of a unknown man laying on the ground a few feet across from me. His head was gone and putting two and two together I quickly realized that I wasn't injured and instead it was the man's blood and not mine.
I looked to the left and right of me slowly surveying the landscape around me. I was in a muddy yet, barren landscape filled with creators and with a look of death for miles around. Bodies of countless others litter the ground some as fresh as a few seconds ago, others months or possibly longer. Most of the bodies had something similar about them, they were all either wearing olive-green or greyish military uniforms. Shattered remains of many weapons were everywhere including one that was at my side, a half of a rifle.
That was when sound returned back to me, the sound of thunder coming from behind me and in front. Suddenly just a few feet from me an explosion went off, followed by many others all around. The only thing I could think of was that I was in a warzone, and was being fired on by artillery fire possibly by friends.
Yet I couldn't move, like time itself stopped me from moving to find some cover in this barren wasteland. Then there was another explosion releasing a gas like substance that was heading right towards me. That was when I remembered what was going on, and where I was. I was fighting a war in Europe.
I quickly eyed the gas mask on the deceased soldier in front of me and jumped at. I was able to put it on just in time as the gas began to engulf the area. I could feel a tear run down my face as I relived this memory once more, slowly names of comrades from my company hit me as I realized that they're some of the dead that is currently surrounding me.
I awoke and quickly rose from the dream that I was in, to find myself in another entirely different barren wasteland. Looking around me I was lucky enough to recognize a certain mountain in the distance. It was the mountain that near Ponyvile meaning I wasn't across the other side of this world. However traveling towards Ponyvile would take maybe three days, if I'm even more lucky maybe less than two days.
Pulling myself up from the sand I quickly felt the pain from me being transported by Twilight's spell all over my body. The pain is going to be a problem. Slowly I began my journey heading back to Ponyvile by heading towards the mountain city. I had only taken forty steps when I heard a someone's voice from behind a large boulder. I slowly approach the boulder due to my curiosity.
I peeked around the boulder to find a pegasus who was bleeding from the right wing, which looked like the feathers were pulled out of the wing. "Darn humans and their Celestia darn stupid hands" he growled holding the wing close to himself. He was angry about something involving humans making me put two and two together. I gently knocked on the boulder to let him know I was there.
He practically squealed in horror, at least he did till he got a look at me. "Well um... your not one of the escapees, are you lost little guy?" he stated peaking my interest of his story out here and what he means escapees, did some humans run away? "Right you don't talk, get it together Snare your talking to a human. Great, so how am I going to get out of this situation?" he told himself desperately trying to figure something out.
I stepped around to sit next to him, which while I moved he watched carefully. "What could have you so interested with?" he inquired as his eyes shifted to his wing and then back to me. "You're not hungry are you?" he asked with fear in his eyes. I pat his head gently as a response to his question. "Oh thank Celestia, your domesticated. Judging by your clothing you must be somepony's pet in upper Canterlot" he said as his eyes turned to the mountain city.
"Snare where are you bud?" a female yelled from a short distance from us, giving my new friend a look of relief.
"I'm over here Mint" he yelled to his friend. His friend was a unicorn who was carrying a bat in her bag. Once she went around the boulder she instantly took notice of his injuries and me being next to him. Springing into action, she knock me a few feet away with a powerful quick kick to my body. I pulled myself up and eyed my attacker who was in a defensive stance between me and her friend. She was using her magic to hold the bat so it could swing at me in a moment's notice.
Her friend was speechless, trying to figure out what to say. Then she jumped at me and swung right when he tried to tell her to stop, "Mint wait!" Feeling that odd feeling again I caught the bat before it could hit me and held it firmly. Her eyes went wide and she had no doubt from that moment realize she had messed up.
