The Legendary Falconwolf
The Mines
Previous ChapterI awoke with a start. Wait, I'm not dead? But how? I was lying on a rock, which by the way is like memory foam to us wolves. "Get up runt!" yelled a pegasus. He had a beige coat with a white and yellow mane which matched his tail. He had nasty scars all over his body. "W-where am I?" I asked.
"You noobies are all the same." he said. "Come with me!" As we walked, I heard screams of pain and wolves being worked to the bone. It looked like the mines from that human movie, Indiana Jones. "Here's the cafeteria. The food today is fresh grass with turkey gizzards." he said. I was gonna barf.
"My name's Fal by the way and one quick question. When can we leave the mines?" I asked.
"Heh can ya fly?" he asked.
"No..." I replied.
"Welp, too bad then!" he said while laughing. "Anyhoo, this is Eagle Wolf. He'll be helping you throughout the week. Good luck."
"Hey noobie. Welcome to the mines." he had a soft friendly tone that anyone could trust, "Wow! The son of the King, huh?" I nodded, "Well you have absolutely nothing to worry about. I'll hang with you until you're ready to go off on your own. So, Name? (Fal) gender? (male) species? (In a whisper,"Uh, Falconwolf)" Eagle froze. "You're a Falconwolf?"
"I'm the last one." I added. He smiled.
"I can't believe it. Your the one who's gonna blow up the chopshop!" he whispered excitedly.
"The what now?" I asked.
"Oh! You don't know yet." he exclaimed. "Come with me. There's an orientation video."
Inside a small room was an old-fashioned projector with a screen. There was also a tall white-coated Alicorn along with, about 10 other wolves my age. The alicorn started the video.
Greetings all wolves. Welcome to the canterlot mines.
You may have thought that you were being sacrificed but, SUPRIIIIISE!
Instead, you'll be working here in the mines.
Just know that if you are an aviant-wolf, you will leave very early.
(Phew) but in a divided state! (Oh no)
If you are still not adopted or if you don't fly out, you'll be either signed up to serve us forever, or unwound.
Which is a full-body transplant. Thank you and we hope you enjoy your stay!
I stared at the screen dumbfounded. "Welcome." The alicorn said in a motherly voice. "I am the ruler of the land of Equestria. I am known as Princess Celestia. "Now, the orientation video may have sounded a little dark("Little is an understatement" I thought.), but I assure you that it will be easy to get adopted. Now, on that note, may all of you please get back to work?" Eagle tried to pull me away but I was staring at the alicorn.
"Fal? Terra to Fal!" he yelled waving his paw in front of my eyes.
"Hubba whuh?" I said.
"Yo, keep your eyes offa her. She's mine!" he said.
"You have a crush on the princess?" I asked.
"What? No! She's my fiance!" He exclaimed.
"WHAT?!" I yelled.
"Woah hey! Take a chill pill man!" He said.
"But how?" I asked.
"Well, they found out I was an aviant wolf, I had one more day before I was unwound, I did chores around the castle, talked with her. We became very close!" he said. "When the next day arrived, she made me her personal guard!"
"Cool!" I yelled.
"Yeah. We went on a couple of dates, yadda yadda yadda, we got engaged, and here I am now!"
"Did you leave out the whole making out thing when you said yadda yadda?" I asked.
"Yeah why?" he asked.
"Cause then you leave out the best part to talk about!" I exclaimed.
"Nah I mentioned the engagement." he said.
"Ok let's just go to work." I said. And we walked off into the mines.
