Rocky Start
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI had been descending the plateau for close an hour now. It had been hard at first when I was close to the top but it quickly became easier as I descended. I could almost lay my full foot on a ledge. This would have been a lot harder had been carrying all my stuff but for some reason everything I hadn't been wearing disappeared so I had no phone or wallet the only things that did stay were Ebony and Ivory, the hyrulian shield, and my digimon d-tector.
Not knowing where I was at and seeing as how magic was apparently now real, a shield to protect myself and some guns to at least intimidate someone if I was lucky could be useful, the d-tector was useless though but since it was small enough I put it in my pocket, next I attached the shield to my back, and holstered the guns at my hips with their additional holsters that came with them.
'That's it Jack just one foot after the other, left, right, left, right...'
So focused on not falling, I missed the sound of wings flapping till it was to late and I was pulled from the rock face without even a chance to get a good grip.
"Look at this fellas we found ourselves a stupid ground stomper messing around in Pegasuses territory."
I couldn't see anyone but i could definitely hear two other voices laughing at what the first guy said. Not understanding what had just happened and to afraid to look up my brain immediately went into what I like to call nerd mode.
"You do know that the plural form of Pegasus is actually pegasi right?"
I didn't get to hear their retort because the next thing I knew I was waking up in what looked like to be a primitive wooden cell with all the bars and walls made from tightly lashed wood.
My fake weapons and shield were missing but my useless d-tector seemed to have fallen under the harmless category. With nothing better to do I decided to press the buttons at random.
5 minutes ago (3rd person)
Standing tall at an even 6 foot 5 inches, maroon hair flowing behind behind her at mid back length and a tail of equal shading hanging from her head, Lauren Faust the first alicorn was screaming at her much shorter pegasi council members.
"How in bucking Tarturus could you let those three imbeciles capture a lost terran when we are so close to sealing our alliance with them but also letting them shave almost all their hair off as well as chop their tail!"
The council were very much used to Faust outbursts but the couldn't do anything to argue against her as her power could easily wipe them all out and was also the only thing keeping their crops alive but that didn't mean they wouldn't defend themselves.
Speaking first was an average sized mint green stallion.
"It would behoove you Ms.Faust to remember that, while yes they captured the terran they explained that he was already in such a state before they even found."
"It would behoove me? No it would behoove you to realize that our only chance at finally having a chance of a peaceful alliance is now jeopardized because some stupid teenagers decided to capture the one thing that could ruin our chances!"
Faust had finished yelling now but the intensity was still there.
"That may be true but if our initial findings are as real as we have been told then it means we might have found a tide changer should another war erupt."
As Faust had just flown in after spending hours trying to talk peacefully with the terran council, she truly didn't know what the stallion meant.
"Explain."
The command was simple in length but the underlying threat was clear as day.
"As we mentioned earlier, the terran was found with two strange metal contraption and a simple shield. While trying to identify the two contraption we activated some kind of trigger which launched a small clump of metal at speeds not even our fastest guardsmen could see as well as penetrating our strongest armour even when layered. As for the shield, nothing we do has been able to sent it much less scratch it."
"Show me them"
"Of course Ms.Faust but first we must deal with our current terran guest."
Gaining a glint in her eyes, she nodded.
