After having the mayor let everyone know that Zemrite was not there to hurt anyone, things quickly went back to the way they were after a couple of days. When he walked the streets though, he still got looks of uncertainty from all the ponies, especially the younger ones. Twilight was showing him around town. Telling him where everything was and how to get there. One thing that Zemrite noticed is that the buildings were in the same places as they were in the show. The town was definitely bigger than he thought it was though. Maybe he should travel by rooftop to get around better. He does possess ‘the mouse’ and ‘the fox’ passive skills. Both these skills combined allow him to trail up walls and trees and any upright surface he could sink his claws into while also allowing him to leap large gapes as well, combined with his garou agility. He was listening to Twilight go on and on, while looking for fun routes to take should he ever need to be in a hurry.

“Are you understanding so far, Zemrite?”

She asked as they stopped in the middle of the square

“Yeah. It’s a pretty nice town you got here. Definitely bigger than I thought it would be.”

They continued the walk. Twilight felt so short compared to the man. She was six foot even, but he was at least seven foot. Celestia being a foot and a half taller. As they walked along however, a stallion runs into Twilight and doesn’t even stop. She isn’t knocked over, but Zemrite catches something that pisses him off to no end. He saw it back in the game, and now he sees it here to?

Pickpockets…

“Hey!”

Twilight shouted at the running stallion. She suddenly hears the pullback of Zemrite’s bow. Her eyes widen as she sees him aiming for the stallion.

“Zemrite wai-!”

She was too late. The arrow was released and it whistled through the air at amazing speed. Not only landing the stallion in the shoulder, but pinning him to the building that was going to turn in front of to try and lose any pursuers. Zemrite walked up to the stallion who was just barely able to stand on his hooves as he struggled to not move to cause anymore pain or discomfort. Zemrite walked up to him with a smile and removed his hood.

“You know. I knew a guy once who could steal all the coin out of your pockets just by smiling at you. But you? You don’t have the style to work Ponyville, let alone the marketplace.”

He said as he held his hand out, the stallion immediately giving back the bit bag he had taken from Twilight.

“You might want to find yourself a..new line of work.”

He said before punching him across the face and yanks the arrow out with a quick clean extraction, leaving a small wound that could easily be bandaged up.

“Off you go.”

He said walking away from the stallion who fell to his knees. Slowly getting up and walks away holding his shoulder. Zemrite walks back to Twilight tossing her bits up and down in his hand.

“I do believe these belong to you, Twi.”

She blink and reaches unto her bag, noticing that her bits were indeed gone. She looks up just in time to see the small pouch flying towards her and catches it with her magic, placing it back into her bag.

“I hate pickpockets...so very much.”

He said looking at Twilight who was both scared and impressed with his accuracy with a bow. Others had seen the commotion as well. So if he were to be questioned later by the guards or whatever authority was in the town later, he would have his bases covered.

“How did you do that? You completely immobilized him without seriously hurting him...I have never seen such precision.”

“I suppose you can say...years of practice.”

“You continue to impress me with your skills, Zemrite. A magic user and a fine sharpshooter. Do you have any flaws at all?”

“I have plenty of flaws Twi. Both physically and mentally. I am not a perfect being after all.”

He made his way beside her and they continued on, leaving behind a stunned crowd of ponies. They really couldn’t complain about what he had just done. After all, he did just prevent a pony from stealing another’s hard earned bits. They walked through the stall of the marketplace, Twilight gathering the things she had came there for. Groceries, papers, quills all the things she needed. Especially when it came to aiding ehr further in her research.

“Want me to help carry some of that stuff, Twi?”

She looks up at him with a smile. He was sweet to offer.

“You don’t have to, Zemrite…”

“”Naaah, I insist. Let me carry half of it at least.”

He holds out his arms to have her give him half the things she was carrying. She does so with a grateful smile.

“Thank you Zemrite...I really appreciate it.”

She said as they began to walk back to the library. But on their way back, they run into Rarity who was out doing her own errands. She smiles and waves to Twilight

“Good afternoon darling! Getting some shopping done I see.”

“Yeah, and Zemrite was kind enough to come with me. He even offered to help carry half.”

“Well, I offered to carry all of it since it would be no issue. But I will help her in however I can.”

Rarity was a bit stunned and impressed. She certainly did not expect this being to be so...chivalrous.. She only smiled up at him with her hands on her hips.

“Oh Rarity! I need to tell you what happened earlier!”

Zemrite knew where this was headed.

“Oh come on Twi...I just did what needed to be done was all.”

--A Few Minutes Later--

“It was amazing! He is quite the gifted archer!”

Zemrite sight, throwing his hood over his face to hide it. Rarity on the other hand was looking up at Zemrite with sparkling eyes.

“Oh my...chivalrous AND heroic...I am very impressed, darling…”

“It’s nothing really...I would have done it for you, or the other girls. I hate pickpockets in general anyways. He got what was coming to him.”

He walked into the Library, placing the things he had in his hands on the table and removes his cloak and tosses it in the air, watching it fade into a black mist. Both Twilight and Rarity watched him as he moved about the library. They noticed that he seemed to be subconsciously fixing up things in their proper place as he roams about.

“Well look at that, he even has a domestic side.”

Rarity said with a slight giggle.

“Well, I must be going. Busy day today. I need to go and obtain new fabrics for my new line coming this fall! Take care you two!”

She said in a singing tone at the end, closing the door behind her with her magic.Little did Zemrite know, that his good deed would be spread around Ponyville rather quickly. And that things were going to get quite interesting from here on out.

--Two Days Later--

Zemrite was walking through the town by himself this time. He was on his way to Fluttershy’s cottage just outside the town. He was expecting the same, uncertain gazes from all the ponies that laid eyes on him. But today, there was nothing of the sort. Instead, they stared at him with...delight and admiration. The waved to him as he passed by, him doing the same. Even a filly approached him, holding up a muffin with a bright smile on her face. She looked...familiar. Then he knew who it was when her mother approached her. A grey pegasus mare with a blonde mane and tail and with derpy eyes.

“M-Muffin?”

The filly asked as she held up the chocolate muffin with chocolate chips in it. Zemrite points his finger towards himself.

“For me…?”

“Mhmm!”

Zemrite reaches out and takes the muffin grateful. And boy did it look tasty. He brings it to his mouth and takes a bite out of it, it was as good as it looked. He smiled down at them both and gently ruffled the filly’s mane with his free hand.

“Thank you, sweetheart. It tastes wonderful.”

She lets out a happy gasp and suddenly wraps her arms around his waist in a warm hug, nuzzling into his side then backs away back to her mother. He then walks off and waves good bye to them, thanking them for the muffin once again. Now that he was on the path to Fluttershy’s home, he decided he would surprise her in his wolf form. After having finished his muffin, he changes into it as he approaches her cottage, already seeing she was outside. He pads his way over to her, gently pressing his head into her side as he approached her from behind. She lets out an adorable little squeal, but when she realizes who he was, she drops everything and wraps her arms around his neck in a tight and warm embrace.

“Yaaay, You came by!”

She said as she nuzzled into the fluff of his neck. Zemrite wagged his tail happily and brought one of his forearms over her shoulder in a wolf hug.

“I did say I would come by didn’t I?”

“You did. And I am really happy you did. Please, come inside and make yourself comfy.”

She said as she walked over to the door and opened it for him. Once they were both inside, she quickly makes her way to an open spot and plops down, patting the open area with her hand. He makes his way over to her and sits down beside her. She looks up at him with those same big sparkly eyes Rarity looked at him with, running her fingers along his muscular back. She seemed enthralled by his mighty appearance and his soft fur. She leans in against him and continues to nuzzle along his side.

“Mmmh...so big and strong and yet so soft and warm…”

“Do you not see actual wolves that often around here, Shy?”

“Oooh nonono. They are such a rare species. Sure, we have plenty of timberwolves, but those are just made of leaves and bark. To have an actual wolf here with me...it’s absolutely wonderful!”

Zemrite could feel her soft and warm body pressing firmly against him. To be this close to Fluttershy...it was amazing. He was living every brony’s dream right now. And he wasn’t even that hardcore of a fan! Fluttershy reaches behind her and pulls out a brush.

“May I...brush your fur?”

Zemrite lowers down and rests his head in her lap, he closes his eyes.

“By all means. Brush and snuggle me till your heart’s content.”

Fluttershy did just that for what felt like hours and hours, just snuggling and brushing the dire wolf. Though eventually, she became rather sleepy and he was already asleep from the attention. So she snuggled up against him, closing her eyes and began to nap with him soundly. Listening to his heartbeat and soft breathing as they napped together. Eventually, Zemrite awoke from his nap to find Fluttershy lying on top of him. Zemrite blushed hard. Glad it couldn’t be seen under his dark fur. Especially feeling those soft and lush breasts rubbing against him every now and then as she stirred. Should he wake her? Or just let her be?

Eh..a few minutes longer.

He thought to himself as he lowers his head back down. This was definitely something he would have never gotten the chance to do in his life. Perhaps the being that brought him here, had something more in store for him then just offering him another chance at life.
