Ezio - Fate Lies Within

Chapter 5

A New Purpose

Ok. Ezio was obviously dreaming. That sun hadn't moved for 15 minutes now, and it was *really** starting to annoy him. It had to be a dream. Unless of course he was at some sort of north pole thing where the sun never set.*

"So you have questions about your place in Equestria."

Ezio quickly jumped at the sound of his fathers voice. He had been paying attention to that sun really hard. Curse this strange dreamland and its strangeness. Ezio Nodded his head in reply.

"Good. Now, to start off, Let me take you back, to when i disappeared......"

The landscape began to fold around him, things changing into other human beings, palm trees becoming horses, coconuts becoming full fledged houses. And there, blending with the crowd, was his father, moving slowly.

"I didn't have any jobs that day, so I thought I might blend my way down to the river, and enjoy the day for its beauty."

The scene changed once more, showing the river Ezio had crossed so many times in Rome. His father crouched on the edge.

"Suddenly, I was grabbed from behind, and faced another assassin. As he looked at me, he only said one thing. 'For the Borgia.' After that, he drove his blade through my heart, and then left, while I slowly died. And then, you came looking for me."

The scene changed again, a stray coconut hitting Ezio on the head. Ow! Those things were hard! This time around, Ezio saw himself, crying into Taiyas shoulder. He watched himself vow to become stronger and faster than any other assassin.

"And there you are. Crying into Taiyas shoulder. She was pretty wasn't she?"

"Father! Taiya and I were just friends..."

His father laughed. And that laugh set the scene back to the sunset. And that stupid coconut flew back to its place, deciding to randomly hit Ezio on the head again. WHY!? WHY MUST IT HAPPEN TWICE!? Ezio cursed the coconut under his breath, swearing a dreamland revenge someday.

"And now to tell you your place."

Ezio snapped to attention, hoping this was the part where his father would say, 'nothing'.

"You are chosen by the gods that govern our worlds, to save Equestria. The 6 ponies you have met, the elements of harmony, will face a foe that will fight back. Keeping him from fighting back, will allow you to fulfill your purpose."

Ezio gaped.....He was going to save an entire world just by- never mind. Defeating the Borgia would have done the same thing. He still nodded in a slow stupor, kind of amazed at this.

"Now that you have discovered your destiny, go save their world."

His father hugged him, and the world melted away....

~~~~~~

Twilight opened her eyes groggily. Ezio had been talking all night in his injury induced sleep, and Twilight had spent the whole night reading, finally going to sleep herself.

"Oh great. I managed to drool on the entire encyclopedia neightannica. Ewwwww."

She yawned, and went over and checked the poor stallion. The bump on his head had gone away, and his leg seemed less swollen. She adjusted the bandages, and then she smelled something.....breakfast.....a REALLY good smelling breakfast....

Twilight peeped around the door frame. Nopony was looking. Tip hoofing it down the stairs, Twilight saw, on the dinner table, a plate of eggs, toast, and bacon. Simulated, bacon that is. She quickly sneaked over and sat down, digging in to the food that awaited her starving stomach.

"I see you have awakened."

Twilight almost choked on her food, fully not expecting Spike to be there.

"Oh gosh Spike, you scared me."

"Yea well, Owlicious isn't the only one who's quiet."

"Who?"

"You! I'm talking about you!"

"Who?"

"YOU! I'M TALKING ABOUT-...you know what? I'm not doing this."

Spike walked back into the kitchen, shaking his head and muttering some about a 'stupid owl' under his breath. Twilight simply grinned. That owl could be annoying at times. Twilight resumed eating, watching as Owlicious flew after Spike.

"ME! I'M THE ONE WHO MADE BREAKFAST!!!"

"Hmm. What is your assistant yelling about?"

Twilight choked this time. This was extremely unnerving.

"Oh, he was *achk* just getting annoyed with *gasp* Owlicious."

"Owlicious..." Ezio came down the stairs carefully. "That is a strange name for an owl..."

Come to think of it....Ezio was right. That was a stupid name for an owl. If Twilight hadn't had that stupid Twilightlicious tune in her head, she would have never named Owlicious that. Since when were owls tasty? She decided not to comment on that one.

"So, how are you feeling?"

Ezio sighed: "Better, even though I still have a headache. I can at least walk if i lift my leg off the ground."

"Well, when Fluttershy comes over today, shes gonna check your bandages."

"Ah. I shall thank her for her medical help then."

Twilight smiled, and gave a quick yell for Spike.

"Yes?" said spike, poking his head through the door way.

"Could you bring us some chamomile tea Spike? I think Ezio needs something for his headache."

"Sure!"

Spike shortly after came into the room with 2 cups of steaming tea and placed them at the 2 ponys places. For such a little Dragon, he was an extremely talented cook.

Twilight levitated the teacup to her mouth and took a sip, then set it down to find Ezio staring at her, eyes as round as dinner plates.

"Are...are you a wizard!?"

Twilight Laughed. Really hard.

"No! I'm a unicorn silly! But that's a pretty funny idea!"

And then, right there, The most beautiful thing that Ezio had ever seen walked through the library doorway...

~~~~~

A strange looking creature huddled over a workbench in the basement of SugarCube corner, its fluffy pink hair swaying slightly as the creature adjusted its head to get a better view of what it was working on, its project illuminated by a simple desk light...

The door at the top of the stairs opened: "Pinkie Pie? Could you make some more strawberry lemon cakes please?"

The creature flicked on the light,and the basement lit up fully.

"Sure Mrs Cake! I'll be right on it!"

Pinkie Pie smiled as Mrs. Cake shut the door. Her idea was almost finished, and soon she could give her present to Ezio.

She turned to all the different cooking machines in the basement. First, she had to bake some cakes.

~~~~~

Ezio had spent the last half hour fawning over Fluttershy. Twilight went about her business, but she couldn't help but notice that Fluttershy was enjoying the attention. Nah, Fluttershy was too timid and shy for that kind of thing to affect her. Maybe it was all in Twilights head. Yea, that was it.

"Well, all your bandages are changed, and your leg seems to be healing really nicely!"

"Thank you so much Fluttershy, you must be the best doctor I have ever had."

Fluttershy blushed. She didn't think she was that good. She did try her best, but she wasn't an expert. And she didn't want him to go to the hospital after the incident with Nurse Redheart and the last good looking Stallion to go there....

She shuddered at the thought. She tried not to think about the big black strap-NO NO NO!! SHE DIDN'T WANT THAT IN HER MIND RIGHT NOW!!

She focused on that song by Gotya she liked, and kept talking to Ezio.

"Well, I'm not that good."

"But you are! Where I'm from, the doctors give you medicine and expect you to administer it yourself! It's terrible!"

Fluttershy blinked. Maybe he was right. Wow.

"Well thank you sweetie. Now, I think it would be best if you got some more rest ok? Your leg still need to heal, and your head could use a little more rest."

"Alright, 'Doctor Shy.' I'll be sure to do that." Ezio grinned.

Fluttershy couldn't help but blush again. As she walked outside, Ezio couldn't keep her out of his thoughts. Her timidness was his exact opposite, and he really enjoyed it. He went upstairs and lay in his bed again. He sighed, happily this time.

Maybe this was a good place to be.

He drifted off to a dreamless sleep.....thankfully....
