An Endless Journey

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Logan sat patiently at the train station he found thanks to the map he bought. Except he didnt buy it, he stole it, along with alot of bits that may help him out in the future. He had no idea when his desired train would arrive, he had already been sitting at the station fiddling with his adamantium claws for about an hour.

Maybe I could buy a watch so I at least know what time of the fucking day it is.

As that thought crossed his mind, his animal-like hearing could pick up the sound of a train that was soon to arrive at the station. He immediately got up from the bench he was sitting on and neared the edge of the platform, continuing to wait for the train to arrive. After a couple of seconds, he could see the train turning around the corner and finally pulling into the station.

About damn time.

He observed the train, noticing how stupidly childish it looked, just like everything else he had seen in Equestria so far. He saw the awful pink design and love-heart shaped windows, which made him gag a few times. Eventually, the doors to the train swung open and Logan was able to enter.

As he took one step into the carriage, he could instantly feel all the eyeballs glaring at him. But he kept his head down, he didn't bother confirming something he already knew, that being that the ponies on the train are constantly staring at him in confusion with a little hint of fear. No surprise there.
Unfortunately, the carriage he is on is almost completely full, meaning that he either has the choice to sit down next to a pony, or stand for the entire journey. Baring in mind he has know clue how long the journey will last. He looks around at the seats to see which spaces are available.

Shit, looks like I'm sitting next to a pony.

He hesitantly walked over to the seat that was available next to an innocent, sweet looking mare. She seemed to be smiling right up until she noticed Logan, now her day will be completely ruined. She stared at Logan the entire time it took him to sit down, until Logan makes eye contact with her. She quickly turns her head to look out of the window. Logan just rolls his eyes, he's used to it. Eventually, the pony's head turns back to face Logan and is brave enough to attempt to talk to Logan.

"I've never seen-" She tried to say but was interrupted.

"Don't. Fucking. Talk to me." Logan threatened her with an intimidating tone in his voice.

"I'm sorry. I just-"

"Did you not hear what I just said?"

She nodded and grew completely silent after that, but occasionally looked back at him with a curious look on her face. Logan sat back as the train moved away from the station, from which his journey has begun. His eyes darted around the carriage, coming into contact with a few other ponies. They showed fear too, some more than others. He just sighed and ignored those responses as he had become so used to them.
Logan always has somewhat of a stern look on his face. He never seems to smile, even in the best of situations. Perhaps that is the reason why everyone avoids him. But he isn't exactly angry about that because he had always enjoyed the company of himself, but it is sometimes nice to have someone to talk to.

Logan decides to let his head rest on the back of his seat. Despite being in Equestria for a while already, he hadn't yet had a full, proper good night's sleep, even though he had tried many times already. Now, clearly it isn't night, be he thought that it would still be a good idea to catch up on some sleep if he really wants to get out of this place. He leant over to the pony that was sitting next to him, who was still looking out of the window.

"Hey," Logan said, poking the pony on her side, "Wake me up when we get to Ponyville or whatever the fuck it's called."

"I thought you didn't want me to talk to you." She responded, with a bit of sarcasm.

"Don't piss me off."

"Okay, sir."

He leans back and shuts his eyes, wiggling around in his seat trying to get comfortable. He is sure that Ponyville isn't actually that far away, but some sleep is better than none. Several minutes passed by, he isn't sure how many, though. Still with his eyes closed, he thinks that it has been at least 10 minutes or so, but he can't tell how close he is to his destination because he is unfamiliar with the route the train is taking. it is only a few more seconds before Logan eventually drifts of into a little bit of a sleep.


Logan screamed at an ear-piercing volume as he endlessly plummeted towards the ground beneath him, which appeared to be a long way ahead of him. He doesn't know what just happened. He can't remember why he is suddenly falling out of the sky like this, all he knows is that he is about to be in a lot of pain. He could feel himself falling at an alarming rate, nearing terminal velocity.

How is this happening?

As he got closer to the ground, struggling to keep his eyes open from the force of the wind as he is falling, he could just about make out the land below him. And, out of all possible places in the area, he seemed to be heading straight for a barn.

Wait... A barn? This all seems awfully familiar-


Logan suddenly jerked awake as his adumantium claws immediately ejected from his hands, from which he had stabbed the seat in front of him out of shock. He began hyperventilating and started pouring sweat like a waterfall. It took him a few seconds to realise that he is no longer asleep and has snapped back into reality.

"Shit. Another goddamn nightmare." He muttered to himself, and pulled his claw out of the train seat so he could wipe the sweat off his forehead. Logan, fearing the worst, made sure that there was no one sitting in the seat in front of him in case he accidentally stabbed them, but luckily no one was sitting there. However, there was a pony sitting in the seat next to it who was staring at Logan in absolute horror. He noticed that his claws were still out and so he slowly retracted them. He looked over at the pony who is sitting next to him, and as anticipated, she too was looking at him in horror.

"W-What was... D-Did you just...?" The pony tried to ask Logan, but her words failed her.

"Not a word, bub. Forget that ever just happened." He replied with his usual intimidating voice. Logan looks around at the rest of the train carriage he is on to see that thankfully not many other ponies heard or saw what just happened.
All of sudden, the train starts to slow down until it comes to a full stop. Logan looks out of the window to see a town that he recognises as the place he arrived in. Logan stood up and started walking towards the train doors, as did a few other ponies, but was stopped by the pony who sat next to him.

"Wait... W-What are you?..." The pony manages to ask him. Logan stared at her for a few seconds before answering.

"The wolverine."


Author's Note

I'll try and aim for the next chapter to be around 2,000 words, but I can't guarantee that will happen.
