Yep, definitely death by snu snu, as far as the evil and scary ruler look goes, she definitely looks the part at least, hot as fuck as well. But, I have a feeling she’s not here to just ‘have some fun’ she’s already baring her fangs at me and Amaris, I clearly could feel my heart in my throat. My body was making it apparent that It’s either fight or flight at this point. Whatever choices I make now could either be the death of me or I manage to somehow pull a fast one on her.

All those choices were out the window.

“Soooo, you come around here often love?” I asked whilst looking around for an exit whilst keeping tabs on any of her movements. Amaris, however, was still stuck in place.

“Well, since you’re here I wouldn’t mind coming around here...more often.” She said whilst noticeably licking her lips, I grew a tad bit uncomfortable, but whilst darting my eyes to the window, to the door and her fuckin hips and tits I couldn’t help but wonder if this is a bad thing?

Amaris was still stuck in place, she hadn’t made a move nor had she spoke one word since we got here. Her gaze was still stuck onto the absolute pillar of beauty and death in front of us. I tried to wave a hand to wake her to see if she would react, but she didn’t.

I turned towards the pinnacle of raw sexual power.

"What did you do to her?" I asked the tone in my voice was clear that I was slightly fuming and somewhat scared at the same time.

"Look for yourself, little colt." Ignoring the last bit of her sentence I moved towards Amaris again and tried to touch her, but as soon as I did she crumbled like sand in the wind. There were no words to describe what I felt. I had only known her for a day, and yet, seeing someone die in front of me wasn't what I had expected.

I was trying to grab at the rest of the dissipating sand that continued to disappear. The last of her remains were on the floor. Tears threatened to fall, in fact, they were already falling.

I was a mess, a complete utter pathetic mess on the floor. Turning towards the instigator herself I snarled at her showing the canines of my teeth, my hand already on the hilt of my sword ready for the draw of fate. She only smiled in response, a rather disturbing one in fact. She moved closer and closer I didn't have any room to simply move out of the way and get the fuck out of here so the only way I could was through her. Breathing slowly, slightly seething, I breathed out a large quantity of air, grasping the handle of my blade, I drew.

Within a split second I was but a blur, the crackling of the floor that I just had leapt from, the sudden shift in temperature of the room making it apparent to my foe in front of me. I was mid-air, about to strike, to the dark form of the women she saw the pure unadulterated rage in my eyes, my eyes were reduced to pinpricks, the veins could be seen spreading out to the inner corners of my eyes like the roots of a tree.

I had struck something.

But it wasn't her, it was the dark flare of a purple like blade, it was a scythe.

Pushing against her blade I had pushed her back quite a bit, her smile fueling my desire to kill her even more.
Swinging wildly my blade wasn't exactly coordinated, you wouldn't exactly think straight when you see a friend you've just made get turned to dust in an instant. My blade hitting all her defences pushing her back more and more until she took a step back and twirled her weapon above her head bringing it down on me, I hadn't had the time to react.

The long crescent blade went through my sword like it was made of printer paper, severing my wrist along with it. Surprisingly though, I hadn't felt the pain of getting your right hand completely cut off, or was it the shock and trauma that simply desensitised me to that point of not feeling anything yet.

Grabbing the remnants of my blade with my left hand I drove it into her shoulder, she only looked towards the puncture and didn't even have a care in the world, she used the butt of the scythe driving me back into the wall at a speed I couldn't fathom. However, I still had the broken blade in my hand, the scythe was embedded now into my left shoulder keeping me in place against the stone-cold wall.

I pushed myself even further tearing through the muscles and skin in my shoulder, it wasn't a pretty sight, blood and bits of bone spilling everywhere, strangely I didn't feel the pain, almost as if this wasn't real, surely the pain would've hit me by now, I was still pushing through the sharp thick edge of the blade.

I was violently struck in my abdomen making my entire body crumble through the wall behind me, but weirdly enough, the entire scene had changed, I should've fallen towards my death since we were in a pretty high tower but I crashed in a dimly lit hallway of sorts. I had no weapon to defend myself.

The woman silently walked out of one of the shadows that lined the halls.

"Any more bright ideas human? Her armour clinking with every step she took echoing through the halls with its dull sounds.

"To be honest I didn't think I'd get this far." A bit of blood seeping at the corners of my mouth, it looks like my injuries have finally caught up to me, there wasn't any pain though.
'Am I dying? No, I'd definitely know if I was dying or not.'
I looked to my surroundings as she crept even closer towards me with her intimidating yet sexy strides. Her swaying hips was also a big factor of distraction but I pulled through, it was one of those moments when you're in a dream, then you realise that you're in one, so it's either you get excited and wake up, or you stay calm and use your reality checks.

One of them was sticking a stretched out index finger through my palm, so I did exactly that.

The had stopped, she was still moving, chest breathing ever so slightly, she was fixated on me, the only reason she stopped though was the fact that I am now lucid, and I have control of this dream. I knew truly well that she couldn't hurt me now.

I also realised that Amaris wasn't, in fact, dead and I was pretty relieved over that fact, I think it's the same feeling you get when you see someone you care about, or just started to care for, for them to literally die in front of you but only to wake up and realising it was all a dream, either that or an actual nightmare and you hadn't got stabbed multiple times and shot in the face.

As the realisation had set in, the scenery around me shimmered and wobbled like waves in the pacific ocean. The blood I felt trailing towards my chin at this point simply evaporated along with any pseudo like injuries. I stood up slowly eyeing her up intensely.

The anger I felt earlier left me, I guess wildly swinging your attacks actually does nothing to help the situation you're in and instead, making you look like an absolute twat.

"So you finally figured it out hmm?" she still was stood there not moving an inch at all towards my position. "The average stallion would've taken a considerably longer time than what you've achieved, quite impressive I suppose," she said aimlessly looking around before her striking slitted eyes fell upon me.

"Can we skip the bloody poetics and would you tell me who you are? You look like Luna, although a bit more...well endowed " I was literally moments ago trying to kill her but if you think she isn't fuckin fit then you're absolutely gay. At least I know Amaris is going to be okay, just got of mess around with her for a bit then wake up.

"You dare take that tone with me peasant? If I had my real body right now this all would have been child's play. I'll ignore your earlier comment because I am quite pleased you find my body more attractive than dearest Lulu. And as for your request, my name is Nightmare Moon." Nightmare said all that whilst casually giving her fingernails her attention rather than me.

"I mean not going to lie love but I think other pe-pon.. you know what fuck this worlds mannerisms; I think other 'people' wouldn't deny that fact. And by the way, before...how did you know I was Human?" my eyes once again travelling over her body, her form was a bit different than Luna's although her coat was a lot darker and her accents were slightly exaggerated; Hell, the way she talks is completely different to Luna's without the old English and shite.

"We are in your mindscape, a lot of things are laid out bare for all who seeks the truth. that's how I know what your species is and some of the atrocities they've created. However, there are other memories, that are locked behind a strong barrier, and you can guess what kind of memories they are." She said whilst finding the wall quite interesting, a look of forlorn and despair on her face, she looked deep in thought.

"So, how did you get inside my head anyway?" I asked not sure about what her answer was going to be.

"After your little drunk episode with the guards, I was in the mirror in Luna's room confined to her very reflection, Luna didn't know of course but I was there, slowly gathering enough energy to break out. That's until you came bursting in like a bumbling idiot, as soon as you and your friend decided it was a good idea to jump on poor old Luna you startled her and you were in the way," she said slowly looking up at me.

"And after that?" I asked.

"I was getting to that, impatient little worm." she spat angrily.

Oh alright, fuckin bite my head off why don't you, acting all bloody tsun-tsun.

"Funnily you got kicked through her wall and went unconscious from the force of the kick, most of the impact of the wall, the drunkness and terminal velocity were what did the most damage, however, I took a quick peek and saw that your body was unharmed, so she must've healed you. Your friend was the one that caught you.

"Bloody brilliant, then again, it was my fault that I decided to get drunk and suggest that idea to Amaris. Fuck sake." Rubbing the back of my head in deep thought, I didn't know how it was all going to go down when I wake up from this fucked up situation. That's going to be great at breakfast.

I was about to ask another question until a brief flash of one of the windows in the hall had a light glaring past it creating a crescent glow on the floor, like a spotlight at a prison searching for a prisoner Nightmare noticed this and looked over, whatever she was thinking was now gone and throw at the back of her mind.

A sudden realisation upon her face got me curious.

"Oh? It looks like dear Luna has caught on," she said whilst turning back towards to me with a sly grin.

"What do you mean?" Standing up to my full height I didn't know why I had been crouched all this time, I guess I was too deep in thought to notice.

"It means that she's finally caught on to something that may lead to finding that I'm alive."

I looked at her confusingly and followed her trail of attention and saw that it was past the window way up into the sky the rather large moon was overhead. The moon itself had what looked to be a looming shadow of two bright white eyes causing more light than usual to be displayed upon the landscape.

"It looks like dearest Luna is trying to decipher on what's going on with you, it looks like I'll have to cut this short. You're very lucky. If she hadn't suspected anything I would've taken over your body and regain my strength." She showed her rather sharp teeth, and if it wasn't for that fact that she was all 'Im evil, I probably have a terrible back story' trope then I would find her gnashers quite endearing and confusingly sexy.

"Yeah, like I'd let you! You may be really fuckin pretty and all but! You will not prevail! Who's going to stop me from telling everyone aye?" I said grinning with absolute victory, only for it to shatter to a million tiny bits.

"Because if you do I will hunt down everything you've ever loved and turn them to dust and throw them into the wind." Nightmare said without any hesitation.

"Okay prick, we'll see about that!" I shouted whilst dashing forward, sword already materialised with blue wisps into my hands. I was in swinging distance and I swung my sword overhead straight between her collar bone. Unfortunately, she had already met me halfway, palm striking me in the stomach sending me flying down the hallway.

Tumbling from the force I planted my sword down and through the floor to stop myself skidding across the hard marbled ground. I looked up slightly dazed.

"What the fu-" I started before I was cut off by the sound of a spinning tornado.

"You're lucky I don't take you right now, if you weren't an avid lover of the moon this would've ended a lot earlier than expected.

"We shall meet again mongrel," she said whilst a spinning blur of black shadows that encased the corners of the dimly lit hallways circled around the body of Nightmare Moon and then she dissipated.

I was left in utter confusion, and also the inner turmoil of the fact that if I tell anyone else about what happened here, people are going to die. I was conflicted for sure, I didn't know what to think or do. She was really fuckin strong as well. I felt like an ant in comparison.

The world shook, the moon had gotten a lot bigger, the halls that I was in had simply vanished in thin air, I was outside looking towards the ever-growing moon, just think of Saturn right next to your planet and boom that's how big it fuckin looks. Bloody hell.

It continued to grow, and shine to an almost blinding ray of light. Then completely nothing.

-----------------------------------------❆❆❆-----------------------------------------

Being knocked out constantly was a recurring thing I've done since coming to this world, either way, at least it has been interesting than my old life. I had already woken up, I was in a quite comfortable silky bed, white in colour, birds chirping rather loudly through the open window near the right corner of the room.

The room I was in was simply amazing, that and it's fuckin massive!

To its pristine walls and the architecture of the ceiling, absolutely breathtaking now that I'm fully awake. And then the biggest migraine I've ever had hit me.

"Ohhhh fuck, bloody hell, my fuckin head! Definitely not drinking that shite again." I said bringing both my hands to my head in pain.

Moving my way off the bed I noticed I was completely undressed, boxers too, now that was giving me major red flags, whoever took off my clothes definitely got a good look. I noticed a pile of casual clothes on the other side of the bed, so I picked them up and headed towards the bathroom.

After having a rather hot and steamy shower I stepped out of the bathroom fully decked out with my casual clothes on, teeth brushed, and not smelling of shit, piss and disappointment. Christ, I feel like I'm Shane MacGowan. All we need now is some really shitty rainy weather and you've got yourself a fuckin shit hole in your entry.

I noticed my coat and sword were also against the bed stood up, the coat was hanging on the handle whilst my double belt was looped and locked around it. For some reason, I couldn't find my other clothes, the clothes I came to this world with, along with my shoes, so it looks like I'm going to have to go barefoot seen as though my socks were no were to be found. Fab.

Guess I'll leave my stuff here, as much as I love wearing my coat and sword on my hip, it definitely wouldn't go well with these new clothes, especially the colours. Walking towards the pretty large door I grabbed the golden ball handle and twisted it enough for it to click. As I was about to open the door my left hand shot up in reflex towards my ear, I realised that I've had my piercings on this entire time, through nearly falling to my death, nearly getting mauled to death by wooden wolves and a fight with a literal aspect of the sun.

I had two black circular piercings, slightly smaller than spaces, but the hole for the two pins to go in was small, I actually wanted to stretch my ears at one point until a few people told me not to since it could destroy my ears, you know, drooping pretty low and all that. I actually knew a person who had torn their ears and had to go to the hospital.

Anyway, leaving my room I noticed that there were no guards present in the hallway. All there was, was the ray of sunshine that shimmered down, the dust particles in the air clearly showing, moving in different directions. And the silence that burys my ears.

It was quite nice actually, the severe headache from last night was still there, but I could easily deal with it, although I’ve never been ‘that’ drunk before.

“Fuckin ell, this fuckin headache is going to drive me up the fuckin wall,” I said clutching my head again with slight gasps of pain.

I ventured down the hallway trying to find my way around this massive place, the halls sped outward in multiple directions and before I knew it, I was lost. Bloody brilliant.

Who could blame me though? I only visited the castle once! And that was for like...half an hour? In the fuckin throne room no less. I haven’t had the time to have a gander around these maze-like halls with not a guard in sight! I doubt I’d see Amaris again since well, it’s quite easy to put two and two together that bats, in general, are nocturnal. So she’ll probably be sleeping right now, and rightfully so since last night was fuckin hect-

Oh shite, I’ll have to keep what happened last night a secret. Fuck sakes.

I walked down the next turn into a different but same looking hallway, my mind was going a mile a minute on thinking what had transpired last midnight.

I hadn’t noticed I passed Luna’s room, from what I could hear was some slight construction working going on inside the open door. I felt a metal hand tap me on the shoulder. It was Amaris.

“Yo! I was about to go get you, you’re a little early to be awake though, how’s your head?” she said giving me a half-hearted smile, I could tell by the bags under eyes that she was also fucked like me. Minus the part where I apparently got ploughed into a wall by a moon goddess.

“Ehhh, I’ve got a raging headache and I feel like I wanna spark someone out, you, madam look the same way as me,” I exclaimed with a slight chuckle. She simply rolled her eyes at me.

“Yeah well, that’s what we both get when we down a bottle of Griffonian alcohol, and it’s their most powerful batch yet!”

“Ye ye, fuck that mate, never again love,” I said whilst running a weakened hand through my hair, It felt like I could feel the headache through my fingers like vibrations across my wrist.

“Remember anything from last night?” she asked, her eyes showing a bit of enjoyment and a slight turning of the corners of her lips, she was clearly trying to suppress herself from laughing. I deadpanned.

“Ah, yes, not that I remember but a little birdy did tell me I got kicked through a wall, everything else I sort of remember but some parts are fuzzy, I can’t believe I rode a guard though, wonder who it was,” I said clasping my right hand to my chin in thought.

“Yeah! Not gonna lie that was pretty funny! I'm not sure who she was, I hadn’t seen her around or at the training grounds.”

“Hahahaha, oh well, you only live once right? I should probably track that mare down and apologise to her, no doubt I fucked up her night, hope I didn’t get her in trouble either.” I said rubbing the back of my neck.

“Oh by the way,” she said looking at me.

“Hmm?” I responded. I wasn’t sure what she was going to ask.

“Who told you? Because you were knocked out for the majority of the night, whilst Luna healed you. I was stood by of course in case anything happened.” she said in a sympathetic manner.

Oh, bollocks! Fuck me! how do I explain that? Shit shit shit shit!

“Uhhh, Luna told me whilst I was dreaming, yeah that’s what happened,” I said avoiding my eyes from her, she looked suspicious for a moment before her eyes lit up.

“Oh okay! Just to let you know, down the hall into those double doors, it will lead you to the cafeteria, breakfast is ready so you can order whatever you want, I’ll come with you for a bit but I’ll have to go back to sleep since I got a shift tonight, weeell, almost every night heh. Your friends should be there too.” she said whilst I smiled and nodded.

I gave her a quick hug, her hard metal exterior cold to the touch was a little awkward, she was a bit startled at first but she gave in and returned the hug.

Walking down the hall again I waved my hand in the air whilst my other was in my pocket. I looked back to her and gave Amaris a toothy grin.

Turning to my left I spotted the double doors at the end of the hall, with surprisingly two guards stood at both sides symmetrically. The two guards spotted me, their expressions didn’t change, I simply nodded towards them and they nodded back opening the doors for me.

Walking in I noticed the entire cafeteria was packed, not enough that it felt like Mcdonalds in London kind of packed, it was somewhat okay to move around in, I saw that a massive table housed my friends, Celestia and surprisingly Luna. I already knew this was going to be awkward.

The others noticed me.

“Yo! Big guy! Come sit here!” Rainbow Dash uncharacteristically shouted. I however weakly smiled and obliged.

Sitting down I noticed that Luna was trying to avert her eyes but failing miserably, Celestia was a different story, she had a slight grin but also a stern look to her, I couldn’t read her properly at all. It was kind of unnerving.

“So, how are you all?” I asked to break the ice since it was getting awkward. The others turned their heads.

“Pretty good”

“Splendid darling”

“Mighty fine, thank you.”

“Is your head ok? Elliott?”

Some of them answered, most of them nodded, one of them questioned. I stuttered a tiny bit, not really noticeable to some, but definitely to one.

Celestia had asked that question, she definitely knew, I could now see it on her face, the stern look now increased, the smile gone, almost like stone. Yes, she definitely knew. I had to answer either way.

“Right okay, I can see that you already know, I did get absolutely smashed with Amaris, I rode a guard into one of your windows; Me and Amaris did go into Princess Luna’s room and decided it was a fuckin brilliant idea to jump on her, only to end up with one of us being bounced into Narnia from the force. And I really am sorry for doing that. I take full responsibility since I did coax Amaris into my little stupid plan.” I said without breathing, I was slightly gasping for air after that paragraph of words I had to spew out.

Princess Celestia’s face hadn’t changed, she was still giving me that stern sorry. I knew I had fucked up but there wasn’t anything else I could say, all I could do was sit there and eyeball her until the heat death of the universe. It felt like minutes passed, then hours, then months, then years. My mind and body and soul was waiting for the inevitable.

Death by hanging!! Raaahhhhh! Guards quick! Kill him for treason. Fuck me sideways I am so absolutely fucked, can I go back to living in my shit hole of a house in a shit hole of a country run by a literal twat named after a storm, fuckin Boris, the nob jockey!

Celestia’s stern glare and small frown had elevated as quick as it came. I was literally partying in my own little head at the thought. I may as well open my arms out to hug her, and I actually did go for it before a hand stopped my face, albeit gently.

“Well, seeing as though you have confessed for your atrocities against another pony, and co-ruler of Equestria,” she said waiting for the big finish, my brain had bugged out, I was frozen in shock, I was definitely dying inside at this point.

“Your punishment is!” she said whilst dragging it along for an extra second for dramatic effect. I had slammed my head on the desk out of despair.

“Death,” I said.

“Training with the guards for a month!” she exclaimed loudly for everyone to hear.

“What?” I said.

“What?” she also said.

Both of us stopped for a moment. Few of the others stared, even some of the background characters of this story stopped what they were doing. Most of them were guards from Celestia’s division.

“I thought I was in some deep shit?” I swore, flipping my arms in the air to match my attitude at the moment.

“Heavens no! Maybe a thousand years ago but definitely not now. You’re our friends and you’re to be protected since you are the only Human in Equestria, I wouldn’t sentence something like that, they are resumed for the most evil individuals and even then I’d either send them to Tartarus or the sun.” she said chuckling at the last bit.

Bloody hell, remind me not to get pissed and jump on her of a night, I’d probably get absolutely twatted to the sun.

“So, training with the guards for a month aye? Sure, I’ve been meaning to do some training, I wanted to practice with my sword a bit more and find out about magic and see what that’s all about.” I said resting both my arms around my head whilst leaning back on my chair. The others chuckled and smiled between themselves.

“Good” Celestia nodded whilst the others looked like they’re waiting for something to happen.

“So, when do I start?” I asked, consciously peering around the room to look at everyone's expressions.

“NOW! GUARDS! ATTACK POSITIONS!” Princess Celestia shouted. Princess Luna pinched the bridge of her muzzle. All the guards in the room turned towards me and darted.

“WHAT!?!?! OH FUCK ME!” I screamed jumping over the table.

Author's Note

I really am sorry for such a long delay, I had a few things happening with my dad, money issues, Covid and all sorts of shit. I’ve been constantly drawing as well whilst coming up with some ideas and future events for this story.

Anywho! I hope you enjoyed this chapter, I did chuckle to myself for some of the things I’ve written, although, I don’t expect anyone really to laugh at them, my humour sucks major bollocks!

Anyways! I hope you’ve all had a great week so far! And I’ll see you all later for the next chapter!

Who knows what’s in store for Elliott, will he some how manage to dodge the guards? Or will he actually be turned into a human pancake this time.
