I appear beside a lamp in a semi dilapidated castle, that seems to have been abandoned long ago. Standing from my kneel, I look around more. Nothing much stands out.

I move towards a set of large doors at the edge of the hall, and open them. They move slowly, and are heavy and old, the hinges that hold them creaking with rust. Moving out the doorway I move along the hall past the door. As I do, I hear howling of wolves or dogs. It is near.

I run down the hall towards the sound, and into the large foyer of the castle. In the room, I see four creatures. One pony, and three wooden dogs of some kind. The pony looks odd though. It seems to be a child, maybe a filly, and has wings. Her fur is orange, and her mane and tail are purple. She screams.

"Please, somepony help me!" And the wolves attack.

I leap forward and roll, coming up in front of the wolves, and shoot my Hunters Pistol at its face. It staggers, and I rush forward, my hand changing into that of a werewolf beast, and plunge my hand into its back, before ripping sideways, dragging wood and sap like blood out of a gruesome wound. My hand changes back after the visceral attack, and the wooden wolf collapses dead.

The other two wolves are wary now, but still act like the dogs of Yharnam, and jump and attack me.

Quickly switching out my blade for the Saw Cleaver, I attack, the saw blade taking large chunks of wood off, and leeving big holes in the wood bodies. Three hits per wolf, and they are dead. I am covered in sap blood, and it smells so much worse than regular blood. I have never wanted to bath before when I was covered in the blood of Yharnams beasts, but now I want nothing more than to do so. But first, I must attend the filly.

Turning to her, I see her wings are plucked. Moving towards her, she flinches, but I dont stop. I get close, and pull out some bandages I have from Iosefkas clinic. I had grabbed them when I had gone to kill her. Luckily, they were clean, and not covered in blood.

Wrapping her wings and barrel, I made it so her wings wouldnt move and damage anything, as well as absorb the blood from the plucked wings. She whimpers as I touch her. I ask her a question.

"What is your name, young filly?" She looks at me, and sighs.

"Scootaloo. Your a female? How have you not been captured by the Caribou, or killed by the forest?" She says.

"Because I have only just arrived to this world. Where are we?" I ask her.

"The Castle of the Two Sisters. Its in the center of the Everfree Forest. It used to be the castle of Celestia and Luna, until Luna became Nightmare Moon, and Celestia sent her to the moon." I just listen as I finish bandaging her.

"Done. Dont move your wings, or they will bleed more. And your blood smells clean, so you dont need to worry about infection." She just looks at me.

"What do you mean, smells clean? How can anypony smell blood, and how clean it is?" She asks.

Before I can answer, I hear voices.

"That orange filly bitch ran in here. The Timberwolves tracked her here, their tracks show it. Lets head in and find her." They say, before the front entrance opens.

Into the room step four humanoid Caribou. They have large antlers, and they all have leather armor, and swords, one has a torch.

Upon entering, they see me and Scootaloo. They all grin.

"Well, looks like we dont have to look much further. And look, we even have a doe here. Even better. And, since were this far out, the boss wont hear their screams if we have a little fun, what you boys say?" Says one of the Caribou, who must be the small groups leader.

I stand, and switch my Saw Cleaver back to Ludwigs Holy Blade. The Hunters Garb I wear flutters around me, as I thrust into one of the Caribou. I flick the stuck blade to the side, and it cuts through the skin and leather like its not there. Its cut through tuffer with ease, what makes this any different.

The Caribou I stabbed quickly dies, and his blood sprays out over me. And it smells wonderful. Sweet, but not cloyingly sweet. Heavy, but not overbearing. It was delicious. Inhaling deeply, I felt the beast blood inside me compelling me to feast.

The next Caribou to attack, I shoot him before he can, and he staggers. Once again, my hand changes to that of a beast as I plunge into his gut, before ripping a hole in his stomach, blood pouring out over the stone floor, followed by his guts, before my hand changed back to normal.

I dont let the other two attack, and move to slash them. The first I slash blocks me, the second jumps away. I attack the defender, and he parries me for a couple strokes, before my beast half gets the upper hand, and my strength flicks his blade away. Pulling the blade towards me, I flourish it, and cut his hand off, before cutting his head off. Blood spurts from his stump hand and severed head hole, covering me in more blood.

The final guard tries to rush me, but I swing my blade around, and put it into the small opening of its sheath, before sliding the silver blade the rest of the way in. With a resounding clang, the sword goes in, and I swing the massive greatsword off my back, and over head, and down onto the charging Caribou.

He never stood a chance. It split him in two, down the center, crushing and cutting at the same time, his eyeballs popping out his head as the blade hit his head, before the eyeballs popped like grapes.

Placing my sword on my back, I break it back down into sheath and sword. I turn to the filly, and she is staring at me with a mixture of awe and disgust.

"Do not worry, little one. They are no longer a threat." I can feel a faint wind on me, and hear ever so slightly screams, as I am filled with blood echoes from the four Caribou. Using my inner eye, I check on how many I have, seeing that I have somewhere around 2436.

"Come with me, I need to do something." I say, and I walk back into the castle, towards the lantern I arrived at. I needed more quicksilver bullets, and I was going to get a pistol for Scootaloo, so she could defend herself.

She followed me, and we reached the lantern, and I saw the messengers come out.

"Whats with the lantern? Its never been here before." Scootaloo asks.

"The messengers put it here, so I may come and go from the Hunters Dream." Scootaloo looks at me like I'm funny, but I just grab her, and kneel before the lantern, letting the messengers take my hand, before the world fades.

When it clears, I stand up, in the dream. Scootaloo is with me, and looks around in awe. I see the Doll, standing where she normally does, and wave. She waves back, and I approach.

"Hello good Hunter. What do you need?"

"I wish for you to talk to her for a moment, while I gather some things, please?" I ask. Doll just smiles, and nods, looking at the filly, whonis looking at her.

"Hello, little filly. What might be your name?" I seet Scootaloo down on the wall, abd move for the Hunters Workshop. Going to storage, I open it.

I grab out my fire paper, as much as I can carry, and my second pistol, the repeater pistol, with two barrels. I grab extra quicksilver bullets, and I grab one blue elixir. Closing storage, I go back out.

I see Doll sitting with Scootaloo in her lap, gently stroking her hair as Scootaloo cries. I nod to Doll, and I just move towards the store messengers.

The messengers that sell me thing always made me giggle, mostly when I thought about them randomly. They looked like they were about to sell you a kidney, or a spleen. They where rubbing their palms, holding sharp knives, one held a blue elixir. I did giggle this time as I moved towards them. They still looked the same.

I proceed to buy a few things for Scootaloo. One of the things I get extra, is the student hunters garb. Its not as protective as the hunters garb I wear, but it will keep her safe. I have the messengers make it to Scootaloo's size, and they do. I take it to her.

"Scootaloo, I have some clothing for you." Doll sees, and nudges the crying filly.

She looks at the clothes in my hand, and rubs her eyes to dry her tears. She then looks at the clothes again, and then she gets off the Dolls lap. Me and the Doll then help her put them on.

When done, she looks just like a new hunter. Funny thing is, I never wore the new hunters garb. I found the current hunters garb I'm wearing down in the sewers of Yharnam, never having bought the training hunters gear till now. I then hand her the pistol.

"This is a pistol. It is very dangerous, so don't play around with it. It's used to kill anyone who comes close to you. When we leave this dream, those timberwolves and Caribou will be alive again. So I want you to hide, while I fight them. If anything gets close, shoot like this." And I show her how to shoot it, and reload it. Scootaloo takes the pistol, and we head to the head stone.

"Farewell good hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world." The Doll says. I bow to her, and she bows back, before I turn around again, and kneel at the headstone, Scootaloo beside me.

Back to the castle.
