Warlord

(Chapter 1: I Always Wanted to be a Ruler)

Travelling through the snowy forest wasn’t as bad as it seemed. Sure I was a little bit cold but it was a nice view at night.

The blizzard had calmed down quite a bit so at least I could relax a bit more.

I noticed that the moon was much brighter here than it was at home. In fact everything looks much more colourful and cartoony.

It had been about 15 minutes since I had started walking and since 1 kilometer takes only about 10 minutes I should be there soon.

Eventually I found myself on a well beaten path. It was smooth and seemed much easier to travel.

Because I was bored I decided to start up a conversation with Sage.

“So, Sage can I ask you something” I began

Yes mas-I mean Oscar she replied quickly.

The familiar voice in my head somehow soothes me even though it’s creepy to all hell.

“What exactly can I do?” I asked.

Well you can do a number of things sense Mr. William has programmed me. Would you like me to list them? I nodded my head and the world seemed to have slowed down.

The snow gently falling to the ground had stopped.

Sage appeared in front of me.

“This move is called check allows you to check on your progress in this world and what you could do. Unfortunately you were unable to move.”

Realizing that I too had stopped I continued on.

4 Thin blue screens that were see-through started appearing all around me. I began to read them.

Titles: None

Weapon Mastery: Short Sword

Skills: None

Abilities:

Check; The ability to check your progress and what you have earned over the years in this world.

Observer; you can quickly learn new Skills, Abilities, Weapon Mastery And Titles with ease.

Heightened Senses: your senses have increased insanely.

All of a sudden the world turns back to normal as sage and the blue screens disappear.

Deciding not to question it… or her he continued down the path.

Then I heard someone running… no That’s not a human it sounds more similar to a horse but not entirely.

Either the horse is running on two legs or there is a strange creature in front of me.

I move into a bush to the right of me and sit tight. Seconds then minutes go by as I can still hear the familiar sound as it gets closer.

Finally after three minutes I can hear something you get very close and something panting. Whatever it is it sounds like it’s running from something.

I take a quick peek out of my bush to see… A…. Pony!?!?

She’s running on her hind legs and is panting heavily.

I take a good look at her and I see that she’s wearing leather clothing. That gives much to the imagination. She’s wielding an iron Halberd. And she seems similar to a bat pony then a regular pony.

She eventually ran past and my eyes followed. Unfortunately I took a wrong step and cracked A stick in half.

She immediately stopped and aimed her halberd rate at me. she had a menacing glare.

“Come out and you will not be harmed!” She ordered.

Not fully understanding the situation I said basically fuck that and get the fuck out of there. And that’s what I did.

Immediately I sprinted to the direction she came from. Shirley whatever she was running from she would not follow me.

Is what I thought until a halberd came flying at me and nearly hit my head.

Seeing it get stuck in the ground I grabbed it and looked to my left where there was a cliff.

I sprinted towards it and shouted “FUCK THIS SHIT!” And jump down.

Is what would’ve happened if I didn’t slip on ice… fuck my life.

I went tumbling down the hill and face planted into the snow.

Sage armour damaged by 0.1% I heard the voice in my head say.

I heard something behind me and as I turned around, still laying in the snow, I could see the bat pony flying down directly towards me.

I scrambled to my feet not used to the armour and the terrain. Noticing I still had the Halberd I took a stance... that look….. unprofessional.

As she gets down the cliff that appears to be 25 feet in height.

She pulls out a short sword but this one is made out of copper.

She aims the shorts sword at me. “Return what you have stolen and I may give you a quick death“ she ordered.

“No way in hell am I taking orders from you, you crazy bitch!” I shout back.

Instead of being insulted like I would’ve expected she has a look of shock and put away her sword.

“Hey it’s OK I didn’t mean to scare you just return my spear-axe. And you won’t be harmed.” She said with a motherly smile.

‘Where the fuck did this come from’ I thought to myself

“I think I’m good” I reply

She said something underneath her breath, but I caught it. “Stupid Stallions“ she instantly rushes forward. “Give it here!” She shouts at me.

Time instantly began to slow down as I heard. New Skill Learned: Quick Reflexes

I seem to be at least two times faster than her now. As she’s in the motion of charging at me. I step to the left and bring my right elbow up.

As she got to where I was I brought my elbow down and she smacked into the ground as time continued.

She gets up shocked “why you bastard!” she shouts at me as she charges with her sword out this time.

I bring up the Halberd and blocker her attack with ease. New Weapon Mastery Learned: Halberd.

I spin it around knocking her weapon out of her hand.

I aim the Halberd at her as she did to me.

She has a look of shock in disbelief.

She falls to her knees and puts her hands over her eyes and starts to cry.

‘Fuck my one weakness sad Women’ she cries in her hands as she just slams to the ground “W-Why..! Why must I be so weak! I couldn’t even protect my people! how could I be so weak!” She shouts to the heavens. How far I have fallen!? To be beaten by a stallion! Have I really fallen so low!”

Umm… This is a very weird MLP world.

I look to my right to where her sword got thrown to and I go to retrieve it.

I grab the sword and throw it to her knees. She looked at it confused and looked up at me.

“Do you umm… Want a free swing?” I asked.

There’s a few seconds of silence. Then she breaks down crying again. “Now to be mocked by the very same stallion! Why have you forsaken me goddesses.”

‘Oh fuck! Wrong choice! Wrong choice! OK think of it like a tattletale game. What options will be the best… well... it’s worth a shot.’

I start laughing as she looks up at me. “Pathetic” I say “I was told you were a great warrior, but all I see is a crying child.” I turned around and slowly started walking away. “I’ve done nothing but waste my time.”

I hear her get up behind me and shout “Wait! I am the daughter of Night Fang! And the current Warlord of the Fang tribe! Just who do you think you are!”

‘Oh my god that works. OK stay calm and roll with it‘

“Ah there is the Fang tribe leader I've heard so much about but I’ve never heard of your true name, we should probably introduce ourselves” I'm glad she can’t see my face because I am pissing myself.

She nods her head in agreement. “I am a Shatter Fang”

“I am Oscar long,” I said, introducing myself.

There was a brief moment of silence.

I sighed as I can keep the act up anymore.

“Do you feel better?” I asked.

She looks confused and then a moment of realization hits her as she looks a little angry at me. “You tricked me” she growled

“Yes, but it was for a good cause. You seem to be doing much better” I said hoping she would not tear my head off.

She Growls at me but sighed. “I guess you’re right, now if you excuse me I have to get going.”

She tried to walk past me but I grabbed her arm.

She tries to pull free but is stuck to me.

New Skill Learned: Grip

“Let go of me” she orders.

“If you’re a leader of the tribe why are you running away from the village?” My question stunned her as she tried to reply

“How did you know?” Which I simply reply “I didn’t”

She scowls and says “you wouldn’t understand.” Which I simply reply “I could try”

She looks at me trying to figure me out but admits defeat as she says “A tribe to the east known as the Soaring tribe had declared war on us. We fought them with everything we had but lost miserably. Now my own village sacrificed themselves so that I would escape without being executed. Now I am an outcast and alone.”

She looks down and says “you’re not alone” . I say I can already feel the blood Rush through my body.

She looks up at me. “Let me ask you something.” I say “if you found a way to help your people would you take it?”

“yes, most certainly” she says without hesitation.

“Even if it will cost you your title” I sharply say.

She’s a little hesitant but nods anyways.

“Why are you asking this?” she asked.

“Because… I always wanted to be a ruler.”
