I Wake Somewhere Strange
Unexpected Engagement
Previous ChapterNext ChapterHow long will they be talking in there I wonder it has been for what seems hours. Could they be plotting against me? Maybe this Twilight is simply planning what to do with me.
"Nightmare what do you think they are doing?" I decide to ask simply wanting any form of conversation even if it is with an entity in my head.
Do not think low of Twilight to my understanding she is quite sharp whether this will be good or bad for you I do not know.
"I wish I had something to pass the time. Sitting out here in the dark is really draining." I look towards the sky it seems to be almost day and hmm it looks as if something is flying to this little town.
"Nightmare what is that thing in the sky?" I ask half asleep my voice completely dry of any enthusiasm.
A sky chariot judging by the color I would say it belongs to one Princess Celestia
"You can tell that from all the way down here?" I can barely make out a yellowish color and to my knowledge she is using my eyes as well this definitely requires further questions.
The Princess is likely to engage you in combat.
"Wait what do you mean engage me in combat what have I done?" I ask honestly wanting to know why I have not hurt any of these ponies except for Pinkie but that doesn't count she wasn't even bruised.
The magic you possess was outlawed by her she will sense you have it and try to arrest you I can only assume with any means necessary. I don't know how I can even possibly consider fighting royalty I think surrendering is my best option.
You do not want to do that.
"I don't want to do what."
Surrender. Do not even consider that.
"I thought that how did you hear me."
Dear I can hear everything you think and no I do not feel offended you do not trust me.
"Well maybe you can let me know you can hear these things before hand?"
I will try to improve. The Princess is landing.
Since I can just think at you how do you know she is landing I can't see that.
I see a rather regal (and big) pony approaching she is stark white with a sort of ethereal rainbow mane I can only assume this is the one and only Princess Celestia. As she approaches I rise to my feet still half asleep if Nightmare is right she will most likely ask me to turn my self in.
I am watching her but she stops quite far away from me and points her horn at me before I can move into cover or run she fires this hard to describe beam at me. The closest I can manage is pure sunlight. The only responses I can manage is covering my eyes in a very ineffective shield.
I think she stopped I no longer feel the heat. I decide to open my eyes and see a large shadow like wall between me and her. How did this wall come to be did I conjure it?
"HOW DID YOU CREATE THE WALL UNDEAD BEAST? Did she say undead and call me a beast? There are worse insults but that is still hurtful.
I put down my arms and the shadow wall vanishes.
"I don't know why you decided to attack me I have done nothing wrong." I hope I can reason with the rather rude princess.
"I WILL NOT HAVE ANOTHER ONE OF YOUR KIND ENDANGER MY LITTLE PONIES." Ok guess reasoning is out of the question.
I drop down to a fighting stance and see shadows much like the wall from before embrace my hands. Looks like its the age old battle of light versus dark.
"I DO NOT KNOW HOW YOU CAN WIELD THE POWER OF MY SISTER BUT I WILL MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT HAVE THE CHANCE TO USE IT AGAINST MY LITTLE PONIES." Her sister? Is Nightmare her sister?
Before I have a chance to listen for a reply from nightmare (if there was even going to be one) the princess decides to try the beam thing again on me I simply cover my eyes the same way as before and lo and behold the very familiar wall of shade come to my aid. This is my new friend look upon her she may be flat but she is good to me.
After Princess Celestia's beam dissipates I try throwing my shadowed hands forward to try and shoot some sort of projectiles to my joy I didn't just look stupid throwing my arms around but orbs of the dark (or something that doesn't sound stupid) fly at the princess.
To my woe they are about as effective as her beam was on me. I didn't even come close to hitting her my aim is terrible.
In the middle of me thinking to myself Celestia chose the strategy to charge me and it worked I was impaled in the chest knocking the air out of my lungs.
"Ackkk ow." I groan out as I try and push her off with my right hand.
After a few seconds pulling I get her violating horn out of me and jump away to get some distance that is when I noticed that when at some point during this fight my makeshift gloves came off.
