POV: Hunter

Music Starts

I was running through a forest. Panic and fear coursed through my veins. The tall trees, which seemed to disappear into a cloudy sky, were old, withered and oddly close to each other. I quickly slipped through the trees. I may have been fast but I wasn’t fast enough. Trees were broken and thrown aside as I could hear a loud roar. I turned my head around, not noticing the tree in front of me. A gigantic wooden wolf could be seen smashing through trees and bared eyes of malicious intent.

“WHAT!?!?” I turned my head back to what was in front of me and smashed into a tree that surprisingly didn’t cause me pain. I didn’t fall back, I had been running so fast that I smashed right threw the old tree. I trip and started to roll.
The ground quickly became a black void leaving me spiraling in a fall. My body stopped with a jolt. I was relieved but something else became apparent. My head was facing up and I could see the same wooden monstrosity falling towards me. It wide, open jaws exposed its sharp wooden canine teeth.

I could only stare as my death awaited me. I was done for. A tear shed as I could only accept my impending doom. I closed my eyes as I could feel it jaws about to snap on me.

Music Ends

Waking up in a panic and out of pure Instinct, I jolted up and bolted to my right. This only caused me to slam into a dirt wall and fall down. I was slightly drowsy and didn’t know what happened just yet. I half expected myself to be in the afterlife or to be in the jaw’s of the massive wolf. I was in neither, I was in the same dirt dugout. Frankly, I was relieved beyond belief. Still able to live another day.

Sunlight shines through the small hole that I myself could barely fit through, and I was small too. My appetite had drastically risen as I stay awake longer. No longer waiting it out in the dugout, I squeezed out the hole.

Several Days Later

I felt fatigued and tired. The moment I had come out of hiding, the same wooden beasts jumped out of their hiding spots and nearly killed me. They were still chasing me and never gave up. Luckily for me, I was able to climb and hide in the trees, and catch small mammals and insects.

Even then, they still found ways to get me on the ground. At first, they simply jumped on smaller trees and jumped till they got to me. Next, they waited patiently for several long hours, knowing the only suitable food source for me were the ground rodents and many other small mammals. That forced me to jump off the tree, snatch a meal, and run for my life. Lastly, they broke themselves and combined together to make a bigger wolf. When they did this, they broke down the trees. Even with its huge size, it was faster. I might even say it was smarter. I remember it tricked me into being safe and swiped at me. Luckily, my instincts told me to jump away. Although I survived, it cut a large portion of my tail.

That brings me to right now. Losing blood quickly and having no sleep affected me horribly. I was now lying on the ground. The large beast simply slowly put pressure on my stomach, digging its claws into my abdomen. In a horrific manner, it quickly pulled its paw back. It’s claws were already deep in my abdomen, so when it pulled back, it tore open my stomach and spilled intestines.

I wanted to scream or howl in pain but my body was fatigued. I couldn’t even have the pleasure to scream in pain. My vision faded quickly. My consciousness blinked in and out. I recollect one where I’m in its jaws and it slowly crushing me. Sadistic beast.

The last thing I remember is a green energy flying at the wooden monstrosity.

Many Months Later

I feel good to put it simply. As well stronger and more energetic. I also didn’t feel hungry. I put my clawed hands on my abdomen and felt it fully healed. Something I noticed felt off. Like I was submerged in water but could still breathe. I opened my eyes and all I could see was a dark green liquid. I spun my body and swam up. I emerged out of the liquid and found I was surround by massive trees and a massive hut that was on a piece of land. Surprisingly, the liquid didn’t wet my fur. Instead, it slid off my fur. Not thinking about it much longer, I swam to the land. Once getting out of the green substance, I noticed many more unexpected changes.

I had grown quite a bit. All I know about my kind is that we stay as a pup for a while before having a massive growth spurt and going into our teens. We stay teens for several decades later and mature into adults when we are eighty years old.

I also rubbed my claws on my abdomen and found it completely healed as well as my . . . tail wag?!?! I thought it had been cut off but it seemed to have regrown. I tried to contain my excitement and almost exploded with joy until a yell caught my attention.

“ZEEEEED! The D-Dog is up and awake! He seemed to have grown a bunch and has fully recovered!” It was some type quadruped creature with white and black stripes and some kind of mohawk. It was obviously a male with its genitals and sheath.

Soon, another creature, assumed to be ‘Zed’ (Zéd), came out of the hut and stared at me in confusion and shock. It was a female, sporting a slimmer look, bigger rump, no genitals, and long eyelashes. The mane seemed to be longer and hung from her head to neck rather than point upward.

“Well . . . you seemed to have grown stud.” She uttered in shock.

“I knew you would be healed but I didn’t know you’d be able to recover this quickly let alone regrow one of your body parts.” The male seemed on edge, like prey tensing up its body when a predator catches it.

The female on the other claw seemed much more shocked than scared. She had a weird scent on her. It was oddly . . . arousing.

I only stared at her confused. She slightly blushed under my sight. She snapped out of her daze and followed up.

“S-Sorry. It’s just that you’ve recovered so quickly. It really amazing. Anyway, my name it Zed and my brother over their is Zeb. What’s yours?”

I didn’t have a name, only a nickname. Hunter is what my . . . friends . . . called me.

“The names Hunter.” I spoke with a surprisingly deep voice. The arousing smell Zed had became even more tempting. My “Red Rocket” was threatening to come out and make Zed beg for it. This feeling . . . lust . . . SNAP OUT OF IT!!!

I managed to hide my rocket for a bit longer. It became awkward with this scent. Time to change the subject.

“So, how did you manage to find me and heal me?” Surprised with my question, Zeb answered first.

“Me and my sis were looking for a specific type of flower for an upcoming event. As we were walking, we smelled blood. Zed ran towards the smell and found you and a gigantic Timber Wolf. I then shot a spell at it. I missed and it picked you up in it’s mouth and tried to run away before Zed shot it with a spell. We took your body and put you in a magical lake. We call it the ‘Healing Lake’ for self explanatory reasons.”

Healing lake? Magic? I’ve only briefly heard the den leaders talk about magic and how it could provide for us for thousands of years.

“Hmm . . . thank you. I owe you my life.” The two both wore shocked expressions following after my graditude. Strange. I guess my species aren't that well known for being kind.

“Well, anyways, I guess I should get going after I give something back in return. How about a-“ I was suddenly cut off the Zed.

“No no no no. It’s fine. You can stay with us for a while. Besides, we could use a little help around the hut.” The female hasn’t even known me for long and is already offering me a place to stay? How kind.

“You’ll let me stay? How can I turn that down? I have a lot of catching up too.” Zed and Zeb led me towards their hut.

Several Years Later

I had learned many things. From Inner Magic to Molecule Manipulation to most that the world had to offer. A different array of creatures and their biology.

The ponies. Viewed as demi gods to some
and nuisance to many others. Their leaders are goddesses due to having the only type of magic capable of moving celestial bodies on this planet.

Dragons. Fierce greedy creatures that live in intense environment and have recently been discovered to even have a monarchy-like government to keep themselves in check.

Griffins. Once mighty and fell from power. They have barely started picking themselves from their broken legacy. Despite this, they are still a force to be reckoned with.

These are few of the many creatures that reside on this planet. Or so the books say. I could care less of the history of these species due to something Zed taught me many things like magic. She taught me an ancient technique on how to gain complete control over inner magic. When I first used my inner magic, she was impressed with how much magic and potential I showed on my first try.

I improved massively ever since and she herself thinks I could compete against powerful unicorns and maybe stand a chance against the rulers of the sun and moon.

However, none of that compares to what else she taught me. Love.

Over the few years we’ve been together, there was something about that intrigued me. I don’t know if it was her laugh, personality, intelligence, stubbornness or all of the above. She had a special place in my heart. Her brother and I also grew close and had a bromance as he called it.

Looking back to what has happened is truly amazing in my eyes. I was soon to be having a pup with Zed. She was expected to give birth in a few days. She may have been a Zebra, as I later learned down the road, but heat can do wonders. We were expecting to either have a foal or pup. I’m hoping to have a pup.

Talking about Zed, she had gone to some village to acquire some food to make, even though I could have easily killed a manticore, she insisted I took a break. Why would I need a break? She’s my mate and about to give birth. I need to protect her in case something happens. Not barring another thought, I attempted to make a telepathic link with her.

It didn’t work.

It usually doesn’t work because the link isn’t accepted due to the receiver refusing it, being unconscious or dead. I was nervous and attempted again with the same result. I didn’t hesitate to teleport to the village.

I shocked nearby ponies when I appeared. It didn’t matter though, I could smell smoke nearby and chanting saying burn witch.
Fearing the worst, I teleported to the source of the smoke. What I saw was horrific.

Music Starts

It was Zed, tied to a wooden pole, burnt. I could smell the charred flesh and hear the ponies cheering.

Something had snapped inside me. I fell onto my knees in shock. My mate, my future offspring, burnt by ponies. Ponies . . .

Tears streamed down my face as the memories ran through my head. It had only been a few years knowing her but I could feel a massive loss slice through my entire body as if I was a hot blazing knife cutting through warm butter.

My hate had started to boil inside as I could feel a powerful force inside me build. This has continued on for a short while and I couldn’t contain it anymore

Music Ends

I teleported away in a random part of a forest and let out a scream as magic exploded out of me, random blast shot in random directions. After letting my anger release. I dropped to the ground with steam coming off my body. I only cried out in misery and emotional pain. I would have massacred that entire town but . . . Zed wouldn’t want me to do that. She would tell me to leave that for their sins to haunt them in the future.

“SELF RIGHTEOUS BASTARDS! WHY?! SHE WAS INNOCENT! WE WERE GOING TO HAVE A CHILD! WHYYYYYY?!” I continued to cry to for a while. I was deeply saddened by Zed’s death, it’s time I went to her brother and tell him what happened.
