Reginald the Lord of Shadows
Chapter II: Leaving the Forest
Previous ChapterLast time on Reginald the Lord of Shadows, we saw our hero magically end up in a spooky forest. After walking awhile, he almost got fucking destroyed by a bunch of living logs. He then got his ass saved by a purple pony princess (Alliteration is fun). Despite Reginald being an asshole to her, Twilight decided to help the guy anyway, cause yada-yada friendship. Anyway, these two are now making their ways back to Ponyville, the town in where all the exciting shit happens, so Reginald can get an inhaler. Will our heroes be able to get an inhaler? Find out now on this Chapter of Reginald the Lord of Shadows!
After the end of the last chapter, our heroes had finally made it to the edge of the forest. I could have wrote about 10 pages worth of them talking whilst making their way out, but let's face it that would be boring. Instead, for a little bit of better pacing, we'll just say Reginald and Twilight were at the edge of the forest.
"So that sums up what your about to see Reginald," Twilight said, "Just remember, somepony of your species has never been seen in town.
"Great, so from what I can tell, you are taking me into a town of xenophobes."
"I wouldn't say that exactly."
"Doesn't matter what they think though, all I know is that they cannot handle my immense power of darkness!" Twilight just gave Reginald a confused look as they continued to exit the forest.
"GAH! SUNLIGHT!" Reginald screeched in absolute agony, "The sun will turn me to ash!" Reginald flopped to the ground, rolling around in the grass as if he was being burnt alive. Of course, since Reginald is not actually a vampire, he wasn't on fire.
"Why are you doing that?" Twilight asked the moronic maniac. He continued to roll around, slightly foaming from the mouth for about another minute.
"My pale, smooth skin with get burnt! I burn easily!" Reginald, being the stay at home hero he is, rarely encountered the sun. This left his skin very vulnerable to the sun's harsh rays. That begs the question if there is suntan lotion in Equestria, since I don't know if things with fur can get sunburned.
Alright, after a quick internet search I found out that animals can get sunburned, but only on exposed parts of their skin. So if one of the ponies were to get shaved clean they would be burnt. With that knowledge I'm just gonna assume that there is suntan lotion. So now not only are our main characters on a journey to get an inhaler, they are also now on a quest for some suntan lotion. So pretty much the chapter's name is a lie, but that's not important.
After waiting a few more minutes of Reginald violently flailing around on the floor, Twilight decided that it would just be best to carry him with her magical powers. She is an alicorn after all.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME FOUL BEAST! UNHAND ME THIS INSTANCE!"
"Just calm down, I'm just carrying you with magic."
"I DO NOT NEED TO BE CARRIED BY AN INFERIOR BEING! DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM? I AM THE LORD OF SHADOWS, LEADER OF DARKNESS, BRINGER OF DESPAIR!"
Reginald continued to rant about his dark, non-existent powers for another minute until Twilight made the magic aura soundproof.
"Alright Reginald, we've made it to my home town of Ponyville. I'm going to lay you down right here before we both head in," Twilight says, "Ponyville has a sort or reputation of having a bizarre happening occurring every couple of days, so I don't want us to walk into any danger."
Twilight left Reginald in the soundproof bubble, much to his protest. It didn't matter however, since no sound could leave the bubble. If words were to be able to leave, many fowl names would have been said, requiring many bars of soap to clean out his dirty mouth. It just occurred to me that the reason put soap in kids' mouths when they curse. Soap is used to clean dirt, or in this case a dirty mouth. That or its because it tastes horrible. Either one is a possibility.
A few minutes later, Twilight returned, her mane now in shambles.
"I am so so sorry for this, but I'm unfortunately not going to be able to take you into town right now. Currently, another magical creature from the Everfree is causing havoc and I need to help with that. Don't worry though! I'm will teleport you to a room in my castle that you can stay in until this is all sorted out!"
Before Reginald could even make a gesture of response, a flash of light blinded him.
When his eyes cleared up from the blinding glare, Reginald found himself alone in a small, quaint room. There was a nice bed in the corner, a lone table against the wall, and a single window high above the back wall. Reginald realized he was in a dungeon.
He ran to the door, and noticed that the door didn't have a handle. It did have three small bars to be looked through. It was definitely a dungeon. A dungeon he wasn't going to escape.
"THAT PURPLE HEATHEN HAS LOCKED ME AWAY IN A DUNGEON‽ I SWEAR TO THE DARK LORDS I WILL ESCAPE THIS PATHETIC EXCUSE OF A DUNGEON!" Reginald would continue to scream for a couple of minutes.
"I AM A GOD! YOU CANNOT KEEP ME IN HE... *COUGH* *AGGRESSIVE COUGHING*" Saliva had gone down the wrong pipe, and now Reginald was choking. His weak lungs "gave up" on him (He's a wuss, so he just overreacted and passed out. His vision faded, and he entered unconsciousness.
Next time on Reginald the Lord of Shadows...
Our hero finds himself in a void with no light whatsoever. Has our hero died? Perhaps he has reached another plane of existence with his dark magic? You'll just need to find out next time on Reginald the Lord of Shadows!!!
Author's Note
Heyo folks. Thanks for reading this mistake.
I almost have equal likes and dislikes now, and that makes me happy because it looks like a pill capsule.
