A Thief's Escapade in Equestria
Returning Back To Whence I Came
Previous ChapterDays has passed since I’ve joined Bitchlesia’s deal. I was given a proper place to live, eat, and mostly a place to practice my deadly assassin arts. I’d say I pretty much impressed majority of the guards in the castle and most of them already remember me as the guy who would literally fuck with their moms if any were to look down on me. Except for that Shining Armor guy, he is just an egotistical retard who thinks whatever he says is right.
Moving along, I met with Celestia’s sister, who would literally decapitate anybody with that glare of hers if they kept staring at her or Celestia for too long. Talk about an overprotective sister. Oh yeah, did I mention she was the younger sister here? How thoughtful for her to be looking out for the retarded big sister who sent me here.
Since it was a castle of royalty, I expected aristocrats and representatives of the court to come from time to time. I met a few ponies who were pretty cool such as Fancypants and his wife Fluer. There was 1 dude who just pissed me off by getting an eye off of him. Name’s Blueblood was it? Reminded me so much of a more gentile and playboy version of Ryan.
Aside from the training I completely owned, today was the day I that got those knives I told Celestia to order. Though, I got a private letter from the seller him/herself telling "I know you". Creepy, but I let it slide.
Today was just like any other day with me waking up to the blinding sun. Why was it there in the first place? I thought I closed all the blinds before I slept…. Unless bitchlestia opened it. Annoyed, I got up and began to make my way to the bathroom and tried to rinse off the frustration.
I quickly removed my clothing and stepped in the shower room. The soaps here were not different to Earth’s. It may have different brands on them but they are what they are. Fragrant, fresh, and rectangular. Oh right, I forgot to say that this place was massive. The shower room I currently stayed in can fit about 5 people. The bathtub on the other hand was not as big as I thought but still pretty damn big.
After the session ended, I took the towel hanging from its holder and dried myself as much as I could, then hung it around my waist. I exited the room and walked towards my wardrobe where I dawned a purple V-necked shirt and a simple pair of blue jeans. During my stay here, Bitchlestia prepared some clothes for me to that would fit my mood every time I opened the wardrobe. Don’t really know what the colors mean but the quality feels premium. Of course, there were more clothes to choose from but V-necks are so comfortable.
I took a preview of myself in the mirror, and I look pretty normal and fresh if I do say so myself. I then looked at the desk which lied my phone. Apparently, batteries were already invented and were used for different things such as the lights in a city called “Manehatten”. It uses magic to charge and increase battery life. I asked nicely to have that sort of system implemented on my desk where my phone just continues to charge and increase in battery life. Pretty convenient in my case, because I might use my phone a lot in this world.
Now, I have to go get breakfast. This part is the most…. Boring, annoying, and awkward moment during the past.
I got out from my room and headed towards the dining area. A line of guards stood in different positions and began to greet me.
“Hello, sir Shade.” One of them spoke with a soft smile.
“Suh.” I said back with nod.
“Good day, sir!” Another shouted.
“Chill down with the tone, will you? Might want to use that in battle because you might just well enough kill someon- pony.”
I waved them goodbye and entered through the dining room. There, the two princesses ate their breakfast while talking to each other peacefully. Seems like they haven’t noticed me yet…. Seems rather odd since Bitchlestia would greet me as soon as I entered and Moonbutt here would just give me a glare and say a few scary words before going back to eating.
As I came closer to the table, the more oblivious they seemed to be of my existence. Ok…. I’m not an attention whore or anything, but this is just awkward. Well, at least I don’t have to be bothered while eating.
I sat on my chair which was 6 chairs away from the princesses and began chowing down on my pancakes. These are the best…..
After a full 2-4 minutes of peacefully eating and enjoying the food, Bitchlestia called me out.
“Oh, good morning Shade! Sorry, I didn’t see you come in!” She said happily.
I deadpanned and continued to eat instead of talking to her.
“Foolish mortal! Does thou not know how to properly greet thine royalty!?” Luna shouted across the room.
I swear I’m going to punch you so hard….
“Now, now Lulu, he might just be in a bad mood. Here, let me show you how to handle situations like this.” Bitchlestia made her way to me.
I raised my brow. What is she going to do now…?
“Shade….” She began.
Seriously….
“What do you want?” I asked.
“What will you have this early morning?” She asked.
“I'm already eating food you kno-”
“Chef! Fetch the human his platter!” Celestia shouted.
I covered my ears in pain. I knew Luna could shout but never knew Celestia was louder! Jesus, my ear drums could have exploded… Actually, why didn’t it?
“Jesus… At least lower the audacity when I’m around!” I shouted at her.
“Oh, I’m very sorry for that dear Shad! I didn’t realize human ears were more sensitive than a pony’s.” She chuckled.
I deadpanned, “Are you sure? I think anybody would have said the same thing considering that you have ears big enough to even hear the farthest of sounds!”
“Our ears are big, yes. But that doesn’t mean that we can hear everything.” She said back.
“Whatever. Just let me have my meal and I’m off to the training grounds again. I gotta show Prince Shitblood how to handle a real sword.”
“Well…. About that.” Celestia gave a concerned look.
I sighed, “What now?”
“Well, the thing is Shad. You will need to continue your life in Ponyville, which is going to be arranged today.”
….
……….
WHAT!?
I looked at her in disbelief. She is forcing me to go back to that shitty hellhole where I got punched to death?
“Are you… serious?”
She nodded.
“And why is this happening so suddenly?” I continued.
“The castle is holding a royal gathering and I need enough rooms for guests! I’m very sorry about this, but I got a word out to Applejack. If she were to ever do harm to you again, I shall unleash hell upon her family.” Celestia gave a rather… creepy smile.
I was unease by what was happening right now, surprisingly I wasn't angered as much. I looked at Luna who tried holding her laugh in the back.
“One, don’t do that. Second, I’ll deal with it alone if that’s the case. And third, fuck you.” I began dipping my bread in coffee and eating it after it magically appeared in front of me.
“How will you deal with it alone if you get hit the chest again?” She inquired.
“A well-versed person like me doesn’t get fooled by the same trick twice.”
“Right…”
I sighed, “Whatever… Bring me the blade that I ordered, must be short and polished well. I need money, clothing, food, and mostly a badge to show my rank.”
“All of them has been set in your room and the carriage will be coming any minute now.” Celestia informed.
“Sweet. Well, I’m off now. See ya guys later.” I waved.
“Wait! Aren’t you going to hear our proper farewells?” Celestia exclaimed.
“If you were to send me to Ponyville to live, I see no reason for you to say such things if you can watch me from above. You’re a god, right? It’s not a hard task to do.” I walked out of the dining room and headed straight towards my room.
There, I saw my bed sheets neatly tucked in, my drawers closed, and chairs back to their proper place. On top of the table laid the promised supplies. Though, what stood out from the rest was the knife. It was small, but looked sharp enough to slice through even the toughest of hide. It had some sort of runic symbols scrapped unto the sides of the blade. I don’t know what that is but it seems cool.
A baggage sat next to the table sitting right side up. It was pretty big even for normal suitcase standards. The last of the supplies were the bag of golden coins, or what they’re called, bits. Apparently, bits with Celestia’s head on it costs way more than that with Luna’s head on it. Sheesh, talk about sisterly love, Celestia has to always stay on top of her sister. Can’t even think of any reason why Luna would want to protect her. Well, it’s not something I can barge into.
My thoughts were disturbed by a knock on the door and a voice that called me out, “Sir, your carrier has arrived.”
“I’ll be right there. Just give me a second to carry my crap.” I said.
Footsteps could be heard walking away. I sighed and began to grabbed my belongings, the suitcase, and the blades. I walked out of the room looking ready to travel as ever. I wasled downstairs where the carriage stood. I wonder who were the ponies carrying me today?
“Good morning, Sir Shad. Sir!” Shade saluted.
Great….
“At ease.” I calmly spoke.
Wait… If he’s here… That means……
“H-Hello and good m-morning, Sir Shad.” Flash saluted with a bit of hesitation.
Not this dude again…
“Did you recover from the tackle Shade brought upon you?” I questioned.
“Y-Yes sir! Also… I’m very sorry from our last meeting!” Flash bowed.
“Woah, what’s this for?”
“I didn’t know the Princess would blackmail you! I didn’t know you were from another world and I’m so-“ I cut him short.
“Oh, so you did eavesdrop me.” I glared daggers at him.
He scrunched up, “W-Well, I did… hear a bit of the conversation.”
“So you don’t deny any of this, huh?” I asked again.
“N-No, sir. For that, I’m very sorry…” Flash kept his bow.
“Lift your head.” I commanded.
He did so and immediately slapped him across the face with one swift motion. “Don’t ever do that again or a harder slap will come about.”
“O-Of course sir!” He smiled.
Are you a masochist or something!?
I sighed and entered the wagon. I told both of them to start flying but concerned me with the farewells of the princesses.
“Fuck that, let’s go now before it reaches my lunch time. Want to try out the food in Ponyville before I die again.” I stated blatantly.
“Yes sir!” They both shouted in unison.
Just like that, we had lift off. The skies were pleasant as always with the winds blowing on my face and the clear weather giving the best mood any day could even give. I fell asleep on the way to Ponyville to say the least.
What felt like minutes late, I was awakened by a tap on my shoulder. I shot up in surprise and grabbed the hand that touched my shoulder with a tight grip. I looked to my side to see Flash’s face looking as scared as he always was.
“O-Oh, sorry. Just an instinctive behavior I developed when I was back in my world.” I said.
“Don’t w-worry about it…. Just, walk down the street and go towards the right. T-There, you will see your house. It has a pretty obvious layout so good luck.” Flash said as he stood to the side, waiting for me to leave.
“Okay then.”
I grabbed my things and got off. I was stopped yet again by Shade.
“Sir, do you want me to carry those for you?” He asked.
“No thanks. I can do this alone. Thanks for the service boys.” I waved them good bye.
They did the same and headed back to Canterlot in a breeze.
Now…. To set things right.
