Howl at the Moon
The Job Pitch
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"That will be three thousand dollars," the Shaman said without hesitating. Again. I just couldn't stop myself then.
"How? These things are amazing! The quality, flawless! How could these amazing, stupendous things, that are probably very expensive in their own rights by themselves, be only THREE THOUSAND! That doesn't make any sense!" I say, incredulous at the fact that she would honestly think that three thousand dollars for some fine weaponry was acceptable.
She merely laughed that amazingly beautiful laugh again and said politely, "Because I have an offer for you as well." and then, with a snap of her fingers and a howl of laughter later, we were not in Kansas anymore.
When i first regained a feeling of normalcy in my body and my face didn't want to fly off my skull, I decided that regaining my balance was the next step after. Unfortunately I didn't think that fast enough and landed on my fat (well toned) ass on what looked like a train platform.
Now I get that sounds weird, and it truthfully was, but after that i looked around and saw the Shaman on a bench just a few feet away.
Getting up, I decide to calm myself, and then go sit next to her on the bench.
"What did you do to me and why are we here?" I ask nervously, wondering just what the fuck I have just gotten myself into.
"Nothing of extreme value to worry about, as for where we are, we are at the Nexus. I suppose you could say its the station to everywhere and nowhere." she says mysteriously, looking at the leftmost tunnel from our position, as if waiting for a train to arrive.
" I have brought you here as i have a job for you, my young Howler. As you might well know, the Shaman I am representing myself as is a very powerful and ancient Howler. And you also know that she has very good perception of things that might happen, as well as who to send to handle said problem if one does arise. Along those lines, her and I are the same. After that though, we are more different than two snowflakes." and after she finishes telling me this, she proceeds to remove the shamans mask from her face, revealing her to be a female with reddish/brown hair that flows down to her knees, a face that could be of an early thirty year old Caucasian woman with blue eyes that where strikingly deep in color, almost bordering on deep ocean colors. Her skin was smooth and had a glow that almost stung your eyes, but you could still see without having to squint.
You take this in in almost a second before you realize she has started to talk again. "The job I have for you is simple. You will go to my world and protect its citizens from anything that gets "to big for its britches" as the saying goes. You will help them to understand how the world will change in the coming future. My ponies need much guidance and protection from other beings of chaos that Discord cannot control.
As you went to the convention as a Howler, I have seen it fitting to make you one, and yes it is the one you created yourself, it is very beautiful. I have also given you the four objects you purchased. The sword, Excalibur, will be cloaked, as you have seen in its show, from the eyes of anyone who views it so they may not know its shape or length, until such time as you call its Noble Phantasm.And the scabbard will quickly heal most any and all wounds but that of fatal blows and missing limbs. The God-Eater blade is exactly as you have surmised, for i saw the recognition on your face when you saw it, is the one that appears in said blades namesake show, and transforms from blade to cannon at your whim. You just need to figure out how. The rifle is an R-201 from the game you call Titanfall 2, and has an H COG scope with a fast mag and quick aim body, and i have modified it to have three modes of fire, full-auto, semi-auto, and burst fire. I have also gone to the liberty of giving it infinite ammo. And finally, the shield of adamantine from Erza Scarlet, is literally just that, a shield, but i have given you Erza's requip powers for easier storage of all the items and clothing that i am providing for you.
The final things i will send with you to your new home, is this book on how to control your powers as a Howler, and around two thousand bits, or money, for you to spend getting a house or anything that might come up before you get recognized for what you are going to be doing. Also, before I send you off, I must tell you something of great importance. In one months time, a creature will appear, named Tirek. He is a demonic centaur. he will sweep across the land of Equestria, gathering magic from each and everyone of my ponies he comes across. You are not to fight him until you are given the sign to do so, and you will definitely know the sign when you see it. In the meantime, I suggest you move to Ponyville, as it is the most interesting of towns.
And with that, I bid you adieu, my young Howler." she finally says, ending the conversation. As I stand there, dumbfounded by what i just heard, a train glides into the station with a sound more suited for a cars engine, and the lady takes my hand leading me towards it. She guides me onto the train and leaves me standing there in the car before exiting and turning back around, " Oh, and final thing. If my daughters ask who sent you, tell them that mother sends her regards."
The car door shuts and the train rolls out.
Author's Note
This took some time to think of as I just don't like going overboard and making a character OP as fuck. The story just looses it's cool if the character is supposed to be so strong that he literally just is able to one shot anybody. It just make for a bad story to me. That is why i made this character strong but still nerfed in the fact that she honestly has ONLY the four weapons and does not get anything else unless picked up by her after this. This also extends to any body who might ask for her in other displaced stories. If you want her, then use her, but she only will take enhancements to her weapons or abilities as they stand from here.
Thank you for reading and have a Jivin day.
