Load Full StoryNext Chapter"Say what now?" Applejack asks: "Where are you going again?"
"Yharnam, for the pale blood," Sunset replies as she packs: "Apparently pony Twilight broke something important and needed to fix it before Princess Luna finds out."
"I don't get it," Rainblowdash says while playing a video game with Fluttershy: "Why can't she just do it herself?"
"Because she has other things to do while I don't. Hi Twi, did I forget anything?"
Twilight takes out a notebook: "Ummm, no, you are all set. Now we just have to get you to the train station and...oh, my."
"Yeah, I know," Sunset replies: "It's quite an old station and..."
"You have 40 minutes left," Twilight says, trying not to scream: "No one panics, NO ONE PANICS! WE ARE LATE!!!"
"Jeez, Twilight, claim down!" Rainbow says: "You've really got to work on your anxiety issue. We have 40 minutes!"
"Still, sure you want to do this sugar cube? It seems like a long trip." Applejack asks.
"Don't worry," Sunset replies as she zips up her backpack: "How bad could it? I should be able to find it in time and still have enough time to buy souvenirs for you girls".
"I don't know, " Applejack says: "I just get a bad feeling about it."
"Do I...Have to do this?" Sunset asks as an old man administers blood transfusion.
"Of course, but whatever happens, you may think of it as a bad dream."
"I...okay..." Sunset says as her eyelids get heavier: "Wow, what time is it?"
"Well, it's done." The old man says before leaving the room: "whatever happens, you may think of it as a bad dream..."
"What! What time is it!" Sunset sits up from her bed: "Hello? Anyone here?" No one replies.
She takes out her phone; it's 7;55 pm.
"Ah, for the love of...there goes my first day in Yharnam! So much for the souvenirs." Sunset says as she gets out of bed. She's in a clinic, one that looks abandoned and filled with equipment from the 19th century.
"Hello?" Sunset calls out as she descends down the stairs: "Anyone?"
Soon, she reached a room filled with empty beds. On the other side of the room sits a wolf-like creature. As she gets closer, Sunset receives a more accurate view of it: it looks like a wolf, but its' limbs are stretched grossly out of proportion. Moreover, it way too large to be just an ordinary wolf. Thanks to years of experience of dealing with dangerous creatures in Equestria, Sunset is able to stay claim. Indeed, growing up in Equestria hasn't been easy. With hazardous creatures lurking around the corner, all residences of Equestria must keep alert at all times. However, she hasn't dealt with savages beasts ever since she came to the human world. Perhaps due years of comfort away from the danger of beasts, Sunset can feel her legs shaking. She moves, slowly like a turtle, back to the clinic. She can't fight a beast like this without a weapon. She must find something inside of the clinic, an improvised weapon, before fighting the inhuman monster. Unfortunately, she fell. She can't feel her legs due to a reason unknown. The creature heard the noise and turned around.
It is at this moment; the two exchanged eyesight.
I am down for, Sunset thought, as the beast dashes towards her. She closes her eye as its' claw drew nearer to her throat. Her mind is flooded with memories of the good and bad times. Is this the end of me? She thought: all the spells I learned, everything, nothing would help? I dedicated so much time learning from Princess Celestia, and in the end, it's pointless? All the friends I've made, all that I've done, would all fade to nothing, just like that? No, please, someone, help me...
Tears start to drip down her face. Tears? She opens her eyes; nothing happened.
"Is this?" Sunset mumbles as she looks around: "the afterlife?"
She's no longer in danger. In fact, she's no longer in the clinic. She takes out the phone, it's still 7:55 pm, but here, it's broad daylight. Upon the realization that she's safe, Sunset takes out a plate of chocolate from her backpack, unwrap it, and devours it as tears uncontrollably drip down her chin.
"Hmmm, hmm, hmmm..."
Sunset freezes as she hears a woman humming.
"H-hello?" She puts away the chocolate and slowly turns around. There it is, a woman, dressed in 18th-century style, kneeling in front of a gravestone.
"Oh, pardon, " the woman says as she stands up: "You must be the new hunter."
"Yes, yes, I am." Sunset stands up.
"Then welcome, to the hunter's dream." the woman bows: "and I am here to assist you."
"Oh, " Sunset wipes the chocolate off her mouth: "Sorry, I am still a little frazzled."
"No need to rash," the woman slowly approaches Sunset: "It's your home, and you are safe now."
As she gets closer, Sunset noticed something different: the woman is tall, perhaps the tallest she ever came across, and her face seems so rigid, like a robot.
"Fear not, " the strange woman put a hand on Sunset's cheek and starts to wipe her face with a handkerchief using the other hand: "you're safe."
Her hand feels so hard, so cold. Sunset thinks.
"You are sent here by the werewolf, is that right?"
"Oh, yes, it..." just as they speak, Sunset catches a glimpse of the woman's hands. Instead of joints, her fingers are connected by gadgets: "are you...a messenger of the afterworld?"
"Beg your pardon?"
"You don't seem...how do I put this...alive."
"Oh, I am not, not in human terms." the woman replies as she cleans Sunset's face: "I am a doll, here to assist you."
"A doll?" Sunset asks with a confused look: "So...am I alive now?"
"Of course," the doll says as she let go of Sunset's face: "Whatever happened out there, you may think of it as a bad dream."
"So, that monster didn't take my life?"
"No, not really," the doll answers: "But to combat beasts efficiently, a hunter must choose proper equipment. Look, the little ones are here to deliver a present." She points towards the stairs, which lead to a house.
"Oh, my," Sunset approaches the tiny beings on the stairs: "Are those weapons?"
"Of course," the doll says as she stands next to Sunset: "choose wisely."
"Do you, um, have any recommendation?" Sunset asks: "Afterall, I am still new here."
"What about this?" The doll crouches down: "the saw cleaver."
"Oh, okay, thank you!" Sunset says as she picks up the strangely shaped blade: "but how do you use it?"
"I can teach you, " the doll answers: "Afterall, I am here to help."
