Fluttershy and her dragon caretaker

Housekeeper pegasus

“Hm,” This one looks interesting, but on the other hoof this is closer, or how bout this one...the pay is really pleasing though it’s a night job...and this one his a rather odd work schedule…letting out a breath I thought to myself that finding a job is rather near impossible. Out of collage for three months and still looking for a job. The applications I filled out just got me the same responses about how I was not what they were looking for.

I’m really starting to lose hope on this crap and the rent is coming every so closer each day! I can barely scramble together enough to just pay rent at this point for just another month, but then I’ve already sold mostly everything I owned at this point. Crud, this has to be a nightmare I only hope I wake up soon.

“Ow,” Nope still a wake... now what? Letting out a sigh I put my head down on the table hoping for some force to end it all, but nothing. When I was about to raise my head from the table something caught my eye and pulling the flyer out I seen it was some sort of job for a housekeeper of sort that offered a spare room along with a decent amount of bits.

How have I not seen this before? Well at least I found this little gem though has it expired...sweet lunar today's the last chance to apply for the position! Quickly throwing on my jacket and doing a quick once over on my mane I ran out the door to the job location.

“2213...2213...2213,” And here it is! Well this is really off putting like does it have to be in the better part of town? I coulda settled for middle class, but it just had to be high class if that was the case I would have donned on some more pleasing appeal then my everyday jacket still I hardly have anytime to get back to the apartment for a quick change. So this will have to do I suppose...hopefully the pony is not to off putting by my appeal.

Letting out a breath I knocked on the door. Nopony came right away so I looked at the flyer to make sure the address was correct which it was and thought that maybe whoever was not here or something until I started to hear hoof steps coming toward the door with a feminine voice saying “Just a minute.” before I could question if that was a mare the door opened and what greeted me was a gray earth pony with violet eyes.

“Yes” Octavia spoke once opening the door to be meet-ed with a messy light coated pegasus.

“Uh…” Was all I could speak from being thrown off of why a mare like her was looking for a housekeeper. I mean from what I could see through the crack in the doorway I could see this mares place was pristine. Like...why?

“Well Uh it was nice to meet you, but would you kindly excuse yourself from my porch. Thanks.” Octavia slowly started to close the door while telling herself that stallions seems to get weirder everyday.

“Wait! Do you happen to be ‘Octavia Melody?” I quickly replied after getting out of my stump.

“Yes I am? Please don’t tell me your another fan here to spill his heart out for I already been through a hoof-full this month alone.” Octavia let out a sigh for having yet another fan grace her doorway.

“Yeah, no. Your name hardly rings any bells, but besides that I’m here for the position you might hopefully still have available.” I slowly raised the flyer.

“Oh, I’m surprised these are still about. Well the position still is available though dare I say you hardly look like a pony that could do the request necessary from your appearance alone. Still I learned to not judge a pony based on their appearance so lucky you are able to prove yourself since nopony has yet to approach for the position”

The warm welcoming surprise

Fluttershy and her dragon caretaker

Well, this is rather fun...who am I kidding. I’ve been walking for days on end ever since I left the cave. Like could the world cut me some slack for once since this quietness is really starting to become deafening while my voice is becoming lackluster in keeping me entertained. Is it asking a lot to just have another to converse with other than myself!

Ow...Thanks for that hand I was close to hyperventilating there for a second. What? I guess you're right about that. Still I need someone new to chit-chat with instead of you guys because like we have been talking to each other for like the whole trip so far and I think we reached the point that there is nothing else to bring to the table. So a new voice would breath some new life in with different views.

Wait...do you hear that? Sounds like a girl...though where is it coming from? Oh, I think I found the answer to my question. Ouch, is she alright? I can’t say for sure, but the speed she fell from the air would possibly leave any creature splattered like a pancake. Sure not going to find out just standing here that’s for sure.

I think she might have landed somewhere around here, but where. Actually I might not have to look for a splattered corpse after all since I can clearly hear anothers voice on the other side of this hill, so lets hope this person is cool headed with meeting a six foot dragon or I might be walking into a raggedy tag group of mobsters soon enough.

Hello...Are you alright? Because from the viewpoint I captured you descending from looked a little worrisome for anyone during that situation. So I came running over to see if you were still kicking. Woah...That's not something you see quite often. Focusing back on who I came to check on I found a scrawny butterscotch pegasus smack dab in the middle of a trio of small critters surrounding her like she was ‘Snow White.’ So in my disbelief all that came out of my mouth was a unintelligent ‘Uh…’

Soon as the word left my mouth the first thing to happen was for all the critters to scramble about for places to hide while the pegasus coward into a whimpering ball. Well crude this is not how I wanted things to turn out, but on the upside no angry med-evil mob trying to kill me; though a small filly scared for her life because of my present still reached a pretty mob level crysis...Yeah, sure wasn’t a fan of the whole scare a kid kinda sort.

Making my way over to the cowering filly I slowly plopped myself down in front of her then reached my claw out to gently pat her mane. “Uh, sorry about the whole scaring you thing....I should have possibly gave you a heads up before showing myself.” Lightly scratching my scales I took a glance to see her still in the same futile position. “Sigh, you know if your not completely cool with me being here then I could leave if you want...well alright then I’ll be sure to show myself off .”

Great! First sentient creature I encounter and they are scared just by my appearance alone though can I blame her. Seeing a dragon after all is no small thing since what dragons are known for so why am I surprised? Still she at least didn’t voice her concern of “please don’t eat me,” so that’s a plus. Off once more to bigger and not so better-

Is someone pulling my tail? Looking back I could see the once frightful pegasus from before was know tugging my tail seeming to try her hardest to accomplish something. I stopped then lifted my tail toward me while she still clung to my tail until she opened them to be met with a close encounter. She squeaked in fright losing her hold and was about to greet the ground until I nipped her behind the neck like a mother does for their cub.

She dangled for a moment before I settled her down on the ground then made a motion for an explanation.

“Well, Um...mister dragon...I seen you were sad. So I thought maybe I could...If you don’t mind that is....I could possibly cheer you up?” Fluttershy spoke while quickly hiding behind her mane.

“Wait, what? You were scared for your well being just a moment ago, but because I was sad you decided to get the courage to come up to me?” She nodded her head toward me. “Well, I guess that’s somewhat reasonable I suppose. Anyway...I could use the company so I’ll take you up on your offer. Um....” She said her name to me above a whisper. “Well nice to meet ‘Fluttershy’ and as me you can just call me ‘Whisk.”

False Prince

A story with a known end

Soren looked over the city of canterlot enjoying the beautiful view of the place he called home though he wished it was not full of snobbish nobles destroying the beauty of the place. Sighing he shaked his head to get rid of the negative thoughts since now was not the time; instead it was more in taking in the lovely scenery while the icy cold weather nipped at his fur sending chills down his spine.

There is nothing better then admiring this view then during the beginning of winter. “No ponies around, peaceful atmosphere, and the wonderful night sky….” looking over his shoulder from hearing slight noises behind he could see a mare in the distance ascending the spiral staircase making her way upward to the place he called his safe haven during this time of year. He was disappointed in seeing another approach this place though it was open to the public he still would have preferred it to be just himself.

No matter the slight disturbance that might interrupt his alone time he still will not let it interfere with his plans for the evening. So in the end he let it be for if she decides to admire the same scenery as he then he has no ill will to hold her from it. It would probably be nice to have another to converse with or just have another's presence nearby. So in the end he decided to welcome them.

Looking forward ahead he sat there wondering about many things of nothingness and hollow thoughts going about his mind until he heard the mare he was expecting. Not a moment later he decided to start off…

“Good evening, Miss. A lovely night it is tonight, don’t you think?” Soren spoke while looking straight ahead.

“Indeed it is.” The mare spoke then continued to follow up. “I’m rather surprised to see another up here during this time, usually it's just myself.” She concluded while heading forward to take a sit.

“I could say the same, though I come at a different time of year to admire the view. So it’s not surprising to have never seen me here before then.” Soren replied before turning to look at the mare herself. “Their is no better time to admire canterlot, then during the season of winter after all.” By the way; My names Soren, and yours?”

The mare looked away from the view and toward the stallion. ”Azure.”

Both of them sit there silently staring at the view drifting off into nothingness until the first flakes of snow started to descend from the sky relaying that the beginning of winter in canterlot has started.

Soren decided to speak up once again to his unknown company named ‘Azure.’ “Seems like the pegasus are starting earlier this winter and the temperature has began to drop slightly. So would you like to accompany me down and possibly drop by a cafe for a cup of coffee or hot tea? Will be my treat...or not. Highly matters to me other way. It's your choose.” Soren got up from his seat and started to head off.

Azure brushed her lap off before getting onto her hoofs. “I don’t mind.” She trotted over to her new acquaintance.

Soren nodded when he seen Azure appear be his side then they both headed down the spiral staircase toward their destination in silence.

“So, Soren the mysterious. Where is this cafe your treating me to?” Azure faced Soren.

Still looking start ahead “You'll just have to wait until we get there, Azure.” Soren smirked cheerfully.

False Prince

The evening rainstorm was pouring all around ‘Dalry.’ Madame Roseluck rested comfortably on the recliner while reading a romantic novel she had purchased last weekend, while in the background the crackle from the fireplace tamely trickled along with the pitter-patter from the rain impacting the window creating a soothing atmosphere.

Roselucks evening passed on without any interruptions until she heard a knock echo throughout the estate. She lit a small candle an proceeded to the front door to address a unknown visitor. When she finally reached the door the knocks soon ceased. Opening the door she was greeted with nothing more then the town scenery. She looked right and left to see if there was anypony before ready to head back inside until she heard a noise from down below.

Looking down she was greeted with a cradle which was making light snores from within. When she shined the light inside she was greeted with a little baby colt softly snoring. She awed at the scene then seen a sheet of paper near the colt.

Dear Orphanage Caretaker,

This little bundle of joy is named ‘Astral Arrow.’ I leave him in your care since as a mother I have failed to provide for my baby, but under dire

situations that have a raised I no longer have the income nor means to

provide for him and I dare say this is probably my last time upon this world.

So as a mother I hope you can do what I couldn’t and give

my colt an actual life instead of what little I couldn’t provide for him.

Please take good care of him...

Roseluck lowered the paper then used her magic to lift ‘Astral’ out of the cradle and looked over the colt. From her observation she made out the colt was thin to the point his ribs were poking out along with him having small disheaved wings with feathers poking out in every direction. She nuzzled ‘Astral’

‘It was a freezing cold plane I found myself thrown into with little if any clothing at all to keep me from becoming a statue. I was shivering madly while my mind kept repeating to found warmth. I’ve walked onward in the frozen plane for what I would believe to have been several miles until my body locked up.’

‘I stood their while trying everything I could to possibly try and move. In the end they met the same result seconds later. Soon after my eyelids started to become heavier every minute no matter how much I struggled to keep them from shutting I was no match for the inevitable.’

Upon shutting my eyes the roaring blizzard slowly vanished leaving behind the eerie quietness while the scenery around me turned into a black abyss stretching for what I could only believe was miles. I sat there without a clue on how to take hold of the situation though I knew it was pretty pointless since my physical body was already being killed off by the cold as I speak.

There was hardly anything for me to do in this situation but hope for another to save me from a frozen demise. Letting out a sigh it was highly unlikely that anyone was going to encounter my form until then so I ended up accepting my end then decided to do something else until my doom. Lifting what was suppose to be my arm was now replaced with a stump or more precise a ashened hoof spouting a hole along with the rest I walked upon.

Bringing my hoof to my face I started to slowly guide over my head to envision what was now a entirely different face. Letting out a breath I then chuckle toward my predicament. Why? Just why did you have to tempt fate with that shady character? Even though your friends told you not to! You fucking idiot ‘Dewayne’ Now here you are dying in a frozen wasteland with a body not of your own.

Going to die all alone...With no one to remember you...Forever gone.

The advisor

Another bloody tartarus evening to greet me once again...I’m really starting to tire of this rather tiresome endeavor. It’s been only twelve years since I took up this position and I still remember it to be my rather stressful yet most exciting day of my life; but nowadays after each passing day this job I held so highly now feels more than a chore.

Always wake before the sun sets, get prepped/dress, and make sure everything is prepared ahead of time. I know she appreciates my work and rather have no other to serve by her side...though at times I feel empty like a mere body winded as a mere toy to fulfill their duty.

If you asked ‘If I liked my job?’ I would automatically answer ‘Yes, of course.’ Though deep down I will hold back my actual response since it would cause more trouble than good. Instead I’d rather have none of the hassle or word spread about on my thoughts. I actually believe she already knows of my feelings on the matter and instead chooses to leave it be until I decide to come forward. We’ve gotten to know each other pretty closely over the years, afterall.

Tightening my bow tie to finish off my outfit I then took a look over my uniform. Being satisfied with my work I added the pin and ruffled my mane finishing the final touches. Trotting out of my suite I nodded to the guards then continued forward down the halls waving and nodding to the castle employees heading off for the day. Finally after the short journey along with a few chit-chat here and there I’ve finally reached my office.

Upon opening the door the very first thing to assault me was the smell of musky papers filed high over my desk along with ink filling the room. Many have commented on my work space saying I should really tidy up or be more professional about the place, but I brushed all that beneath the rug since I once upon a time have tried to tidy the place only for it to last about a week before it was back to its original state since request, appointments, and other comical things that came through. If anything I rather call this more like organized chaos.

Taking a sit then pulling myself toward the desk I began to file through the massive amount of teties paperwork making sure to read through everyone before sorting the important ones from the trash. Being in this position over the years I would have believed that the request from the nobles to actual request some things more sensible, but at last it was mere stupid things asking for things from the crown or to fulfill their ego more. Sighing I quickly snuck a glance toward the clock to see that it was close to time to head out.

Exiting the office I tucked the schedule and paperwork to be signed off underneath my wing before heading toward the kitchen to pick up breakfast. Once reaching my destination to pick up the tray. Call me surprised to be met with nothing waiting for me so instead I snorted at the bs, then quickly stomped my way to the back to see none of the chefs around. I screamed inside my head at the crap.

Leading out a breath I calmed myself before tucking the papers and my jacket to the side. Rolling up my sleeves then tying back my hair I quickly started to prepare a meal with somewhat haste since time was slowly ticking away by the second for me to awaken her for the evening. So with that in mind I quickly got to work.

Finishing up the final touches I took a step back to see my work before nodding. I bag and tagged the meal then slipped on my jacket along with tucking the papers underneath my wing. Ready I fast trotted forward to hopefully make up some last time. Rounding the corner I swiftly sorted myself to look neat; Trotting in front of her door I once again nodded to the guards before venturing through the door.

What greeted my was the usual pitch black interior of her room in disarray, while light snores echoed throughout the room from the one occupant who occupied the room. I quietly trotted toward the other side of the room near the balcony before placing the tray upon my back onto the table then headed to the washroom to prepare her bath and set up the necessary ensemble for the evening.

Once having everything ready I pulled back the curtains and voiced my evening greeting

The warm welcoming surprise

The gleam of light peaked through the curtains. ‘Swift’ slept peacefully in his cubicle aboard one of the caboose’s having a pleasant slumber until the annoying rays of light poured in invading the pitch dark space then soon after following suit in piercing his sockets. He could have sworn that ‘Princess Celestia’ purcifull forces anypony who dear sleep in to get an eyeful of her sunlight no matter how much you toss and turn to avoid the rays.

In the end it proved fruitless for ‘Swift’ to hide. Since the light would always find another way to annoy him, so instead ‘Swift’ forcefully removed himself from the warm welcoming bed to face the start of another day while grumbling his annoyance.

Splashing cold water over his face he started to head off toward the dining cart to get some much needed grub for his grumbling stomach and some much needed cup of caffeine or several in that matter to wake his plot up for the tried some day. ‘Swift’ sat in the far corner of the dining cart enjoying his seventh cup of joe while staring out the window looking as the scenery passing by getting closer toward his destination.

Dropping some bits on the table ‘Swift’ headed back toward his caboose to collect his belongings then made his way to the front of the locomotive to prepare for departure at a village called ‘Ponyville’ to meet up with an old annoyance who happened to be a friend of his though he would never dare say it out loud toward them.

Letting out a sigh ‘Swift’ trotted out onto the station platform with his luggage in toe before stopping to take in the scenery of the middle sized village along with the locals going about the morning. Adjusting his hoof bracelet he made his way forward to find the stable he reserved for the month
