"Thank ye for the purchase," I said as a customer dressed as Dante walked away, a new rebellion in hand

You want me to explain don't chee. (sigh) fine, my names Arthur and I'm a weaponsmith, that means I make weapons, any weapon you could imagine I have. And that's the problem, I have too much, so I needed to sell at least 70% of my stock, and what better place to do so than a comic-con'. I of course dressed as something, a maker from the Darksiders franchise to be exact, the only thing different about me from the real makers is my tattoo's, ya see I'm a vet, no not a veterinarian, a veteran, marine artillery to be exact, they called me Krampus, as I had a habit of "decorating" the shells with stuff like smiley faces and "hi there"s stuff like that, but after I stepped on an I.E.D. Lost two toes and my left eye I got medically discharged. But I'm not complaining if anything I'm happy to have served. What do I look like? Well, I'm 6'8", 34 years old, dirty blond hair and beard, with a tattoo over my left eye to hide the scars, I'm wearing a pair of blue overalls, leather boots, and gloves, a tool belt, and an eye patch made to look like Odins, my beard also had braids in it tied together with leather straps.

"Well then looks like it's time for lunch," I said as I looked at my pocket watch. I was about to leave when I heard someone speak

"Greetings good sir. I don't believe I've seen you before?" I turned to look at who said that as it came from my left. And by turn to look, I mean through a punch. With thankfully missed.

"Woah! Easy there. I mean no harm!" the man said holding his hands in the "surrender" posture " I just came to browse your wares" he was wearing a perfect bo2 merchant cosplay

" Sorry. But you snuck up on me. If you could not tell I'm blind on my left." I said in apology

"It's ok. With that eye patch, I would be surprised if you weren't blind... Oh, wait wait, you're saying you are actually blind on your left?" he asked his eyes widening

"As a bat"

"Damn, well 'nuf bout that what you got?" he asked he demeanor shifting to be more professional

I just looked at him like he was crazy "your kidding right? Kid, I have five of ANY weapon you can think of. Pick one and I'll give you a fair price" I said as I gestured to the shelve and chests behind me

"Woah that a lot of weaponry," the man said in awe. He shocked me with what he said next "I'll take it all"

"(choke hack) w-what?" I asked stunned

"You heard me I'll take it all"

I did some quick math "(hack) that'll be $1,895,250.5 plus(choke) tax"

"Hmm, it appears I don't have the money. Tell you what I'll trade you." the man said as he searched his pockets

"I'm only selling to empty my stock, sure, what you got?"

The man then pulled his pack off and opened it showing off some really cool items, a power fist from fallout, a few potions from Minecraft, and more. But what caught my eye was a decorative forge hammer, and a pair of books bound in chain,

"I'll take these. And it's all yours thanks for the business" I said as I pointed at what I wanted

"Oh no, I can't leave you with only those. Please take the bag, it's the least I can pay you" he said as he handed me his bag

"Err thanks, you need help with the stuff?" I asked him as I zipped the bag up and put it over my shoulder

"No no, I can do this you go get your lunch"

I nodded as I got my cash box and left for the food hall. I got 50 feet away before I felt lite headed and fell... Into a bloody portal... Fuck you reality, fuck you


"Gaa whozit whatzit? What the fuck?!?" I yelled as I awoke on the ground in the woods, leaping to my feet I stumble a bit as I had just rapidly ascended to my full hight "Woah, ok, why I am I taller?" true to my word I'm taller I can feel it plus the pine tree nearby, it must be at least 15 years old but to me it looks like a thick 5-year-old, odd

"(sniff sniff) what's that smell?" i asked lowly as I looked around the smell became more prominent (snap!) I spun around as fast as I could with a punch already flying, as the sound came from my left. (CRACK, YIPE!) I looked to what I hit and paused, it was a timber wolf, from mlp:fim, in front of me, wat?

I did not have time to think more about it as more came from the underbrush. And I could tell they knew about my blind spot. They growled at me in an attempt to scare me, I was more confused than anything. One of them, the Alfa if I had to guess, leaped at me and on instinct alone, I went for a gun that was not there, but I grabbed something, and as he was close I just blindly swung, (CRACK, smash!) "huh?" I looked at where the wolf was, and then to where it is... 200 yards away. Wat

I looked at what was in my hand, and it was the hammer I got from that guy, but it's bigger now, big enuff to be an oversized Warhammer. cool, "heh, well wolfy's looks like you made me angry, you don't like me angry. ARTHUR SMASH!

I went ham on those wolfs. it must have been an hour and one king wolf of fighting before I found myself on a cliff looking over the woods, I could see canterlot, but when I looked to ponyville I saw, ruins old ruins and no trains or airships." what the fuck?"
