On our way to our destination, there were a lot of eventful things going on when we passed through Canterlot. It looks like the city itself was split into two sides. Both sides had signs, and were arguing with each other. Asking one of the guards, I learned that after my fight with Blueblood, the town was split on whether or not I was a good or bad guy. I listened to their conversation for a little while, and figured out some of the terms they used. Those who were calling for my head were called 'Transgressors'. Those that saw me as a good person were called 'Enigmas'. I found that the names kind of fit, because the transgressors were being a lot more violent than the enigmas were. Not wanting to stay for too long, I rode past them, and some the transgressors called out to me. I didn't think I could cause such a commotion in less than 24 hours, but there you go. Not stopping, I made it out of Canterlot, starting the journey ahead of me.

We made it to Ponyville in less than 10 minutes because of my wolf's jumping ability. According to the map, the fastest route to the marked spot was going through Ponyville. As I walked into the town, something caught my eye.

'How fucking fast does information travel in this country?!?!' You could easily imagine the surprised look on my face when I saw practically the same scene that I saw in Canterlot. It hasn't even been a whole day yet, and ponies already heard about it? I will have to keep in mind of that. Anyway, I decided to walk around the town rather than through it. Something tells me that if Twilight said to, the entire town would hunt me down. I could probably easily outrun them, but I doubt Alpha could, despite the enchantments I gave him. Successfully making our way around, we continued on our way. Our trip would've been much faster, but I don't feel like going carelessly to a place I don't know about. We didn't know if there were any stops ahead of us or what the climate was like. Better time to find out than never, right?

So, the weather here fucking sucks. I swear the north is colder than Canada, for fucks sake. I had my black trench coat on, but that didn't stop me from shivering out of my shoes. I would have to live with it, so I didn't complain much. We have been in this snowstorm for about 2 hours now, and it wasn't letting up anytime soon. I was focused on the map more than what was in front of me, up until Alpha howled, causing me to look at him. He looked ahead of him, and I turned to see what he was looking at.

'Found you.' In front of us was a castle that looked to be made of some other material rather than the normal ones. It was covered in my a dome, most likely to keep the cold air from reaching it. If I were to have a contest between the 3 towns I visited, this one would win the award for the best looking kingdom. Alpha ran the last few meters and stopped at the dome. I touched it, and it allowed me entry. Satisfied that I won't fuck up my nose by running into it, I went on through. After an enchantment to change Alpha's magic signature, he came through as well. After studying the dome in the cold for a few solid minutes, I learned that the purpose of the dome was to block certain magic signatures from passing, mainly those harmful to ponies. As soon as we walked through, however, 2 guards walked up to us and stopped us.

"Princess Mi Amore Cadenza wishes to see you." One of them said. Finally, somepony with a name that actually sounds like royalty.

"Lead the way." I said neutrally. They gave me a suspicious look before walking towards the castle. What the fuck? How do the guards just look at me and tell what I did? Somepony had to be sending information to them in ultra speeds. No fucking way the news reached this far only having happened a day ago. There were some suspicions I have at the moment, but I doubted they would come to anything. Although something didn't feel right, and us walking to the castle made it all the worse. I guess I'll figure it out when we get there.

The walk to the castle was a very interesting trip. As we walked the streets, ponies were watching me from all over. Nothing new on that front. However, guards were posted up in places that also seemed suspicious. It was as if they silenced some of the citizens, or they were just very protective. Either way, it still didn't feel right. We walked through the gate and the guards posted let us pass, having hardened expressions.

'You can go fuck yourself too, you racist.' I boiled it down to ponies are racist, that's why they're looking at me. Continuing on, we reached the throne room. When we got close, the two guards bowed before their ruler. Unlike the Canterlot throne room, this one was completely filled with guards. About 30 guards were posted around the room, and it made me uneasy. Alpha confirmed some of my suspicions when his ability went off, alerting me that something was very wrong. I looked around the throne room while the princess looked me over. I noticed in the far corner was a magical crystal, infused with magical energy. I looked around for anymore of them, but just saw the one. I scanned which spell it contained, and it was a magical blast that was actually a lot more dangerous and potent than the one Twilight pulled off in my fight against her. I put my hands in my pockets so that I wouldn't be seen, and I created a transparent barrier around me. The Mi Amore finally got done looking at me.

"Welcome to our kingdom, umm..." She wanted to know my name.

"Axel." I said.

"Right, so what brings you here?" Another suspicion raised in my head. She wasn't afraid of the wolf in the slightest. Red flag number 1.

"I'm just seeing all Equestria has to offer." I didn't make my sketchiness obvious.

"So you are." She said. I heard a few guards behind me glow their horns. Red flag number 2.

"Why did you call me here?"

"Word travels fast around here, and Celestia told me some good things about you." She lied. Celestia exiled me from Canterlot, and you heard good things? Time to voice my suspicions.

"Now tell me why you really called me here." I demanded. She flinched, causing me to smile.

"Whatever do you mean?" She asked dramatically. Ponies are bad at lying. I'll keep that in mind.

"I am suspicious of you, and I would like you to quell them if you can." She nodded and motioned for me to go on. "First off, everypony I've came across was scared of Alpha. Tell me why you didn't even bat an eye." I looked to her.

"Do you know how many guards are in here? I highly doubt it could reach me." The use of the word 'it' to my friend kind of hurt.

"Secondly," I looked back to the guards lighting their horns and pointed towards them, "What are they doing?"

"A new method of transferring information to one another. They are telepathically talking to each other. It keeps anyone from knowing any information we don't want them to know." Mediocre story at best. My next suspicion would call her out greatly. I looked back to her and she started to sweat a little.

"Now my last suspicion," I gave a smug expression, "How did you know I was coming here?" She looked at me for a second.

"I, uh... I mean she, uh..." She stuttered over her words. Checkmate. "Guards, now!" Every guard sprang into action and immediately I was in chains, unable to move. Don't get me wrong, breaking them is an easy thing to do, but I just wanted to see the trap she laid down. The princess hovered the crystal above her head, its glow being more dominant than before.

"What is the meaning of this?!" I was scared out of my mind of being obliterated, NOT. She stared at me with a vengeful expression.

"I know what you did to Luna." Her tone was colder and more lethal than Celestia's ever was. "I refuse to let some ape come here and screw with the peace and justice our country has built up for so long!" The use of the word 'screw' was funny to hear. This country was so peaceful that I haven't even heard not one pony curse properly yet. "How you got through the barrier despite being evil, I don't know. I will make sure never to make that mistake again." Even the guards in the room looked shook at the princess' words. I looked on her ass and saw that she had a crystal-looking heart on it. This scene would've made that heart turn black if it had been a movie. She looked toward the crystal and got ready to use it. I thought these ponies were all about peace. I guess even ponies who are even the most benevolent can do negative things when vengeance calls for it. The crystal fired and I had to close my eyes from how bright it was. As the mana that was supposed to burn washed over me, I suddenly felt hyper. I totally forgot that I made the spell turn mana into energy rather than just dispelling it. It fucking sucks when my own creations backfire. The crystal finally being used, I took a moment to scan the area. Just as I predicted, the walls and floors were enchanted with a magical spell to dispel mana.

'Pretty useful for not having to worry about annihilating the entire castle. I'm glad you at least took that approach.' I looked back at her and her guards and they looked at me as if I killed God.

"H-How did you survive that?" She looked really disappointed in herself.

"If we are going by the knowledge I've obtained, then I'm pretty sure I am stronger than this Discord dude." I said neutrally, breaking the chains with ease. Mi Amore looked to the top left corner of the wall behind her.

"You said this would work!" She pointed an accusatory hoof at nothing. I watched where she was pointed and a hole suddenly opened up out of thin air.

'What the fuck kind of magic is this?' I thought, completely bewildered. It stared at me before turning to the princess.

"It seems that I've made a mathematical error." It commented. Thinking for a little bit, I remembered his name was Discord. I knew that I'd probably meet him once, but damn was I expecting a pony and not a... uhh... whatever it is.

"May I ask what are you?" I asked, causing him to turn around.

"I, my good sir, am a draconequus." His voice was deep as hell.

"Can I also ask what this is about?" I really didn't want to be near this guy. Something tells me he isn't all good.

"Princess Celestia asked me a favor, and told me to set up a trap at the Crystal Palace." He pulled a chair and a cup of tea from nowhere, "I didn't expect you to survive a chaos magic blast like that." He stared on for a second before smiling. "May I ask how you achieved such a thing?"

"The moment I got in the building, I knew something was wrong. The princess asked to come see me seconds after I actually arrived. As I came in on Alpha, he immediately sensed that danger was near. Taking a minute to look around, I noticed the crystal completely full of power. Being cautious I put up a transparent barrier that doesn't allow mana in."

"That explains how the chains reached you, but my magic didn't." Discord now had a detective outfit on, "May I ask what your goal is in Equestria?" Everyone in the room looked at me.

"To be honest, I had no say in coming here. I woke up in the forest inside of a burnt crater, and just went from there. Next thing I know, more than one species can talk, Alpha is ultra intelligent, and magic actually exists. By the way, if you ever try to hurt my wolf again, then I will kill you." I said, everyone in the room except for Discord going wide-eyed. This being, on the other hand, laughed.

"You. Kill me?" He laughed harder as if I told a joke. "Oh wait, you're serious?" Is it weird if I actually like how he acts? I'd never admit that out loud though. Mi Amore got our attention.

"Yes, Mi Amore?" I asked neutrally.

"You are more than welcome to call me Cadence." She smiled to me. In reality, being near girls or receiving a benefit from one made me shake. My body was in said reality, but my mind wasn't. I'll put that off for later. "May I ask what side you fall under?"

"What do you mean?" I answered with a question.

"Are you evil? Or are you good?" She asked. Must have confused her.

"It really depends. I consider myself to be mostly along the lines of neutral evil. Most of the time, my mind falls under the thing I'm best at, making weapons, and I only really fight if I'm either provoked or challenged." She took a minute to think on it, before saying,

"Then tell me about each of the ponies you have faced in less than a few days of being here." I didn't realize the ponies kept tabs on me that much. "First off, what did Blueblood do? Despite it almost being obvious." She must've not been a fan of him either.

"It was when I went to Canterlot to check out what it had to offer. I had brought Alpha," I gestured to the now sleeping timberwolf. He actually wasn't even scared of the blast nearly killing him, "with me and nobles didn't like that. Blueblood, though, challenged me to an honor duel where I nearly dragged him to my trap. I call it the gunpowder pit." I noticed Discord was gone. Where did he go?

"Your trap? What do you mean by that?" She asked for clarification.

"I have a magic spell which spawns hands from the ground to drag your legs below the surface. Below said surface will be gunpower that ranges your entire body, so while you suffocate from lack of air to breathe, you also die in a terrifyingly confined explosion." Cadence looked completely horrified.

"And you did that without hesitation?" She asked, hope in her voice that the answer was no. Sadly it will come to no avail.

"He can call me whatever he wants. Shit, he could actually attempt to fight me and I would have just defended, but no, he had to call Alpha a 'wooden mutt'." No one insults my wolf. Ever.

"Please tell me that you didn't kill him." One last sliver of hope lasted in her voice. I guess you win this time, bubble-gum pony.

"He surrendered before I could, so I took the time to beat his face in before returning to my room."

"Why did you do that?" I gave her a dark glare.

"You insult my wolf, and I will insult your heart's resistance to being stabbed." Cadence wore a feared expression.

"Then what about Twilight? She tells me you escaped detainment by winning some arena match against her. She is a talented pony when it comes to magic, and I doubt she went easy." She couldn't help but look like I told a really good ghost story.

"It was actually pretty easy. I've learned that magical blasts are completely made of light, and can only change directions if it hits a mirror or something similar. It was just a matter of dodging or blocking them, which was rather easy to do." She thought about it for a second before dropping it, and moving on to the subject that started this entire trap.

"What about Snowy Blossom and Luna?" She said, now completely confused, "I highly doubt you beat Luna legitimately. Out of the royal sisters, she was always better offensively."

"With Snowy Blossom, it was just an accidentally strong kick. I don't even know my own strength sometimes," I donned on the memory. I'll be sure to apologize later. "As for Luna, her cockiness for winning fights was insane. I had to crush it to make a point."

"Go on." Cadence was now hooked on my story.

"She pulled out a real sword and used it in our match. Her slashes were fast and precise, but I weaved around them like I did Snowy Blossom's technique."

"She used a real sword? And you aren't dead yet?" She was surprised. "How strong are you?"

"Probably strong enough to easily defeat a country," I answered. "Continuing on, she implied that she could easily defeat me, and taunted me to fighting at my best."

"How were you able to defeat Luna? Her thirst for violence in the past has made her pain tolerance borderline immune." That was something I never heard of before. Just how much war has that pony seen?

"In simple terms, I dehydrated her." Cadence looked confused. "I took the water from her body."

"Why did Celestia tell me that Luna had trauma from the pain she experienced?" She asked.

"Allow me to explain. You know how magic is located near the horn?" She nodded. "Well, mana and water don't mix, but that is the reason ponies survive." She looked on with confusion. "Between your head and horn, there is a pool of water that keeps the mana from rushing inside of the body, so dehydrating her took that away, causing her brain to overflow with mana and set off each and every pain censor to the maximum degree. I'm surprised Luna didn't die from shock."

"How could you casually do such a thing?" She looked saddened. I shrugged.

"Just don't provoke me and I won't have to casually do it." She nodded before going wide-eyed and backing up a step.

"A-A-Are you m-mad at me?" She was now worried for her own safety. The guards were about to spring up to action too.

"As long as you now know, we're cool." Relief came to Cadence and her guards in waves. That made me chuckle a bit.

"So, what are you going to do now?" She asked.

"I will probably go check up on Luna. She is one of two ponies I actually give a shit about." I turned to leave, but Cadence stopped me.

"Why did you curse? You do know it's wrong, right?"

"It's just how I speak. Your going to have to deal with it." She stared at me for a few moments and nodded. "Have a good night, Cadence."

"Same to you."

I made it to the train station with Alpha and saw a royal carriage. As I approached, a guard came up to me.

"Cadence asks if you would like a ride back to your home." She said. Better than walking in the cold. I nodded and we both got inside. I gave the guards the directions to my home, and we went on our way.

The trip took less than an hour. Way better than walking on foot. We approached my home and the guards didn't even question why I was living in the forest.

"Good day to you." One of them said. I waved goodbye and watched as they left. I only stopped here for one reason. I looked up and saw that it was nighttime. Perfect time to check up on Luna.

"Alpha," he looked up at me "Do you mind waiting inside? I have something to do." He yawned and I got off of his back. He trotted inside and I closed the door behind him. Time to go check up on my princess. I used [TP Station] to get there in less than a second. A spell that lets me instantly travel to any place I've been to. One of my better spells. Maneuvering around the castle grounds, I finally made it on Luna's balcony. I looked inside and saw Luna, eyes still completely dulled, sitting on the bed shaking. I walked in and went to make myself known when someone tackled me to the ground, startling me and Luna both.

"What are you doing here?" Celestia said, tone so lethal that it would have killed earth itself. I take it she isn't happy with me.
