Displaced: Impulse Buy

Gaining a glint in her eyes, she nodded.

"I'm glad you agree Ms.Faust. Now to start I would suggest we..."

BOOM

"RRRAAAGGGHHH."

"What in Tarturus was that?"

The one to speak was was a random guardsmen standing at attention.

"I don't know but what ever creature it is, but it has just made a very big mistake coming here."

Walking quickly to the double doors situated at the oppisite end of the chamber and opening them, Faust was horrified to see that the small village she called home was now completely engulfed in fire and standing amongst the rubble of it all was a large red draconian being with orange feathered wings. Unlike other draconians though, this one was completely feral.

"Foul beast, how dare you attack the center of my kingdoms power."

The beast ignored her though and simply rooted around through the rubble as though looking for something.

'Strange, most beasts no matter their size would least flinch from the power of my voice, it must be a truly dull creature not to do so.'

Summoning her armour an weapons from a pocket dimension fully equipped. Now armoured, Faust charged through the air but less than a few feet away, the tail of the beast which had been inert quickly whipped towards Faust and sent her a far distance away.

"Nnggh. So your smarter than you let on, no matter it simply means I must fight with serious intent now."

Now back to her feet, Faust gathered a large amount of magic in her horn. Once at a sizable amount, day launched it. The condensed magic struck true, leaving behind what appeared to be a large burn mark on the beast's scales.

Feeling pain for the first time, the beast turned sharply around face his attacker but gained a right hook to his jaw for the trouble.

'I don't want...'

Shaking her head at the sudden emotions and words entering her mind, Faust kept her guard up in front of the rising beast.

'What was that just now? Did I hear the beast's thoughts or did my mind play a trick on me after that first blow?"'

Feinting a strike to the side, she followed up with a punch to the face but was surprised when the armoured talon on the beast's arm changed position blocking her punch from connecting.

'Please...'

'So the voice is real but how do I talk to it and figure out how to stop this creature?'

And so she fought but not aggressively like she would have normally, rather she stayed on the defensive hoping one of her strikes would give her a clue from the voice inside, dodging punch after punch. Soon though the voice started getting quieter.

'Why is...'

'No more...'

'Stop...'

'...'

Panicking now at the lost voice, she didn't know what to do.

'Every blow I send it does nothing to stop it and I can barely dodge it's strikes. What do I do? If only there was a way I could talk to it but they're to far gone inside it's head if I could just reach them.'

Thinking idea after idea, she finally found a solution but it would be very reckless if it failed.

Taking to the air, the beast followed. Using her smaller size she nimbly attached herself to the large creature's back.

'I really hope this works.'

Activating a mental communication spell she quickly lost feeling of the outside world as she entered the mind of the beast. Once inside, she found doorway after doorway leading to one of the beasts memories or emotions.

Not knowing were to go, she opened the first door she could and what she saw astounded her.

Huge structures made of rock and glass blocked the skyline while a hint of sea water could be smelled in the air and mostly bald terrans dotted the ground with no unicorns or pegasi to be seen.

"Sniff."

Startled by the sound, Faust looked down and found and found a small crying child staring at her.

"Who are you?"

Faust realized that the child standing in front of her was voice she had been hearing.

"I am Lauren Faust, future queen of equestria and who might you be?"

Faust had always had a fondness for children so she used her motherly voice to speak with the child.

"Equestria? But you don't look like a pony on the show."

Ignoring his comment she continued.
