Howl at the Moon
Laying out the Blueballs
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI laughed and laughed. I didn't transform, which is good, and I walked to the center of the room, and waited for the asshole to come to me. It didn't take long, he got his armor and rapier and came over. He drew his rapier and got into his stance.
The rapier he was using looked like Asuna's from SAO, but not nearly as cool. I then pull my weapon out of hammerspace. I pull the holy blade. It shimmers with it's magic smoke that keeps the sword invisible. The only sign it is there is the smoke.
Everyone gasps at the sight of my blade. They start to whisper in wonder what it means that the blade is invisible. The princesses are staring with worry. I just take up a stance against Blueballs, and prepare for the fight.
We stand there unflinching for ten minutes. That time the crowd of delegates form the other lands wondered what was happening. They where about to find out when I turned around and blocked. Blueballs suddenly went from being in front of me, to behind me, in the blink of an eye. Nopony saw it, but I had noticed something was off from the start of the fight. It looked as if he was shimmering just barely, and like I could see through his skin. That had sent alarms off in my head, so I waited for the familiar tingle that told me where he would attack.
I blocked his attack from behind and he immediately stood still again. I waited, again, for the tingle. I blocked an attack to the left leg. This time, he didn't stop, and came at me from the left, then right, then front, then I was surrounded.
"Celestia, shield the guests from high velocity projectiles!" I then switch to my carbine, set it to full-auto, and hold the trigger. All the doppelgangers stop moving and get blasted down. I hit one clone who staggers, and the rest disappear. I hit Bluedicks leg, which bleeds profusely. I then requip my holy sword once again, and pounce towards him with a powerful leap forward. With his leg injured, I reach him quickly, and using my blade, I flip in the air to smack him with the flat of it. It knocks him into the ground with such force, his head leaves cracks in the marble floor of the ballroom.
When the dust from the floor clears and everyone stands up, they see that Bluefuck is bleeding Blueblood onto the floor, in copious amounts.
"No one, calls my friends, whores. If anyone does so, they will pay with their blood." I then spit on the fallen stallion. Everyone in the room is shocked into silence, before clapping is heard. It is coming from Pinkie, my crazy girlfriend, the mare I am in love with.
After the slow clap start, others join in, and eventually the entire room is clapping and commenting on the fight. A few dignitaries came over and thanked me for the entertainment. i said thank you for watching. The rest of the night, nobody said anything to piss off me or the girls. The ball goes smoothly, and I have a dance with all the girls. When Twilight comes around, that was when the conversation got interesting.
"Me and the girls have been talking. We would like you to be master of our herd."
"Herd? What do you mean?"
"Well, in Equestria, the male to female ratio is 4:1. That means that most mares get together and form a herd. After the herd finds someone that they think would be a good 'stallion' for them, they ask if he will be part of the herd. The master."
"And that's what you want me to be? Master of your girls herd? I am a girl you know. I'm not a stallion."
"We know. But what stallion will join a herd with me in it? I mean, I am a PRINCESS. That makes things hard on the girls, and they are to stubborn to let me leave the herd. And I don't want to. Plus, even if I do leave, they are the Elements of Harmony. We have saved Equestria time and again, and despite how much we keep it a secret, it still is out there who the elements are, what they look like, names, addresses, everything you can think of with saviors of ponykind. There is a possibility that people will not take there herd if I leave, based on the fact that they are the elements. But you have treated us as if we are just normal mares. And we all see how much you love Pinkie. Tonight proved that you were the best choice for the herd. So please, will you be the master of our herd?"
I think for a second. "Can you give me till we get to Ponyville to think? I want to go over this predicament of yours thoroughly, before I give an answer. Is that good for you?"
"Of course. I guess I should have expected that. I will hold you to giving us an answer when we get to Ponyville. More specifically, my librarby."
"Thank you. I am gonna go, I wanna get a head start on figuring out what I am gonna say. Good night."
i told the princesses goodnight, and Luna told me she would see me soon. I wondered why, but shrugged it off, and went to my room.
I sat on the edge of my bed for a good, oh, three or four hours, thinking on what Twilight said. And when I really thought about it, it made total sense. She had told me every point to think on.
I thought about what she had said about her leaving the herd. She was right, the girls wouldn't want her to leave, I had been here long enough to see that. And even if they did let her leave, they where heroes across Equestria, known to most all ponies, despite trying to keep them a secret. Would anyone want them, knowing that they would get talked about publicly, thrown into the spotlight on the first date. Who would want that kind of attention, besides greedy people trying to bolster their own wealth by exploitation.
And with that in mind, I drifted off to sleep. I have been dreaming a lot more than I used to since I came to this world. Every time I slept, I would wake up in this weird place that looks to be a transition from real world to space, with galaxies and nebulae surrounding me everywhere. Then, it would fade away to a dream, usually one of beauty that I could only picture with my imagination. I could go to beautiful places, see universes that didn't exist on the same axis as our own. And every time, I felt like I was being watched. Not while in my dream, but in the dream realm, for lack of better terms.
Tonight was no different. I woke up in the dream realm, and felt as if something was watching me. This time, I waited. Eventually, I felt someone sit next to me. Luna spoke first.
"Hello, Cameron. It is good to see you. Is something wrong? You look disturbed by your thoughts?"
"How could you tell? I thought I was keeping it pretty well hidden?" She turned to face me and smiled. It felt good when she did, and I felt a bit more at ease, weights had been lifted from my shoulders.
"You did. But the dream realm reflects your emotional state at any given time. It is what gave you away."
"So this is called the dream realm. I thought it might be called something else. Any ways, yes. Twilight asked me to be the master of her and the girls herd. She pointed out that nobody would want them because she is a princess, and if she where to leave, which she can't, the girls are still heroes of Equestria. People know them. Who would want to be thrown into the limelight like that unless they had ulterior motives? I love the girls, and yes I can see myself loving them more than I do now. As lovers, even. But I don't know what to say. They think that I am this nice person, but I am anything but nice. I am an ass. The things I have done, I shouldn't even be here, or able to touch the Elements of Harmony, let alone use them. I don't know what to say. I just don't know...what...to say..." With that I started to cry.
I cried and cried for what felt like hours. I felt like I didn't deserve to be sent here. What I had said to them earlier was true. I had nothing for me back in my old homeworld. I could have everything I didn't here. I just didn't deserve it, after everything I had done to everybody I had hurt, in some way. I cried and cried more. Luna had wrapped me in her wings to hold me, and I cried into her bosom. When I was done, her shirt was soaked with tears.
"Cameron, I get this might be selfish, but could you show me some of the worlds you dream of? I only can catch glimpses of what you dream, as I cannot enter a dream bubble of someone who does not have mental conflict of some sort."
"I guess. It will help take my mind off the problem." I then show her the universes. I show her the worlds of Halo, before the planets are glassed. I take her to the moon Io, in orbit around Jupiter.
Then I crank it up a notch. I show her worlds where water and space mix, creating beautiful arrays and designs. I show her a castle on the edge of a waterfall into the void of space. Cities grown out of trees climbing up cliff walls. I showed her my mind, in ways she would never understand fully, but got just the same. After a while, she told me to stop, and we sat on a cloud overlooking a lava flow, with a sakura tree still living as the molten rock flowed past, never once touching the tree or burning it. All other vegetation of any sort was dead.
"Cameron, you should say yes. I have seen you, and when you talked about their problems, you sounded genuine in your concern for them. Everypony makes mistakes. Everypony has a few skeletons hidden from view. You have told me about a few. I can not tell you that you have been forgiven for your past transgressions, that is for you to find. But the girls have forgiven you for being you. Can you forgive yourself? Say yes to Twilight. I think you need those girls more than you know. I see that you are being awoken. Thank you for the showing of those universes. It was amazing. Good bye for now, Cameron, and be good to the girls."
And I opened my eyes.
Author's Note
Damn. I got deep. I hope the battle was to your liking. I wanted to beat Blueshit more, but I didn't want to make the chapter all about the fight. I hope you like how deep I got, and I might post a few pictures later on to give better visual on the worlds I showed Luna.
In the meantime, have a Jivin day!
