Path of the heart

Chapter 40

Previous Chapter

Author's note: This is the anniversary chapter, in which I promise to please readers with the continuation of a mysterious, adventurous plot. I also dedicate this chapter to my return. Getting back to work on this story.

This time, I came with the accumulated experience, and of course, with new inspiration. As always, I will try to surprise the reader with an unusual approach to writing the plot and make it spectacular. Especially - the effect of the presence, or personal participation of the reader / author, immersing consciousness in different roles.

Thanks to Chrysalis from chapter 30-31. She taught me these tricks based on her changeling abilities-to get used to any role. She can safely be called the Patron of all authors who write story in the style of the first person. And I think you can understand why this is so.

So, sit back, put a cup of tea and cookies, and enjoy your reading.


Author POV.

It's been a long time since I started writing this story. However, so far, I still have a lot of plans. I just have to keep writing this epic story. Besides, I love this world and all the characters.

But, how far I've come on path of the heart leaves a lot of unresolved issues in my thoughts.

What happened to the fate of my main character? How many trials have fallen on his shoulders? And of course, his sensual heart. A heart that is ready to share love with many mares...

It was early morning, and the sun only slightly showed the first rays that passed through the curtains on my window. But I was already awake, and I was sitting in front of my computer with a mug of hot coffee. Many thoughts and memories engulfed my consciousness.

With a thoughtful look, I scratched my stubbly chin, and thought about the plot. I remembered the fate of all the characters whose roles I took on. This whole world is saturated with adventures, magic, intrigues, secrets and love. However, adventures cannot go without problems in the destinies of these heroes. I understand that perfectly.

I took another sip of coffee and grinned. "Well, it's time to briefly recall the plot from the very beginning. Although, of course, I know my plot very well."Having said these words to myself, I plunged into pleasant memories.


It all starts with the fact that at the beginning of winter, Celestia saw a mysterious spirit in a dream. It was one of the so-called "Keepers of the world". Prototype of the Archangel.

This spirit foreshadows her about the appearance of a soul in this world, which, in her fate, played an important role. And even more. It was her already forgotten love.

But for this, she needs to figure out how to implement such a plan herself. That same morning, she and Luna came to a common agreement, and Celestia was even able to come up with an excuse.

Luna, in turn, was also not against participating in this adventure, and seeing someone new in this world. Someone who can impress her... And maybe even fall in love with her. At the same time, it is she who becomes the first who was able to meet this man, deliberately using strong magic to be able to penetrate his dream. But because he was in another world, her date with him was short. Although, in this short time, it was nice for them to get to know each other.

Fortunately, Discord did not keep them waiting long, and was able to help in this situation.

At first glance, it seems that there are too many coincidences. But there is a supreme mystery in all this. After all, everything in our life can't be too simple. This is the plan of the Higher Powers. Therefore, sometimes the characters begin to think that they are just dolls in someone's game. (This can also be said about the real world).

At the same time, in another world, a certain man is in search of a new job. And so it turns out that Discord and his brother from the planet Earth, also driven by the will of fate and Higher Powers, were able to find this human, and under a lot of cunning machinations (not without high magic), were able to transfer him to Equestria, with the help of the created portal. At the same time, he was provided with technological equipment and equipment. But so that he would not be completely alone, a multifunctional robot pony, named Night Fog, went with him.

Yes! There are still a lot of questions to connect the logical chain into one.

Thus, the man underwent special training, and under the hypnosis of Professor Alekseev, he was able to learn his new name. This is what is the mysterious part of the plot up to a certain point.

Heart Path.

*******

After Heart Path finds himself on the other side of the portal, jumping off with a parachute, he meets Trixie for the first time. And although their first meeting turned out to be extreme, they were able to cope with difficulties, and as a result, they sowed the seeds of friendship in their hearts.

Although none of them knew that it was all planned by Celestia, Luna and Discord.

After all, only after going through difficulties, which are also life-threatening, they were able to get closer to each other.

On the same evening, Heart Path meets Discord for the first time, and naturally did not realize that the Lord of Chaos had been watching them all this time.

*******

After an unusual acquaintance with the Lord of Chaos, Heart Path, recovering from shock, decides to head to Canterlot. Moreover, Trixie admits that she has a task from Princess Luna to escort him to the palace. However, general fatigue played a role.

Heart Path lost consciousness, and Trixie moved his body to her cart. And to warm him up, she lay on top of him, after which, she also fell asleep.

It was already late, but at this moment, in the palace, Discord and Luna decide to spend some time playing poker.

As a result, Luna tells her memories and revelations that connect her to Trixie. Discord first learns Luna's secret that Trixie is her daughter who was born miraculously from one of the Keepers of the World.


"What have I done?" I asked myself with some regret, and with a victorious grin, I put my palm to my forehead, closing my eyes.

And indeed, I created a fairly large-scale plot, and involved a lot of characters. Now I am responsible for this. I thought in my mind, but suddenly my room started shaking, which naturally scared me and brought me to my senses. The heart accelerated the rhythm.

"What the fuck is going on here?" I asked indignantly, and saw how a blue fog began to envelop me.

"We need you..." Said a majestic voice, and after that a flash of light appeared in front of my eyes, which blinded me for a moment.

What I was experiencing at that moment is hard to describe, but I felt as if I had suddenly gone mad. Although I only drank coffee! I swear...

My thoughts were interrupted by the fact that several faceless spirits appeared in front of me, or something like that. They looked like angels and were three times taller than me. Their big wings and dazzling light inspired fear in my mind. No, they weren't scary, but they were very majestic in their appearance. For a few seconds, I thought that I had already died, and most likely, a trial would be held over me now.

I was standing in the center of a room, in the center of which was a glowing table. Still in a state of shock, I looked around, not in a hurry to ask questions. And I could be understood at that moment.

It feels like I'm in another space or dimension. Seven angels, or whoever they were, were surrounding me at this moment.

"You haven't participated in this adventure for a long time." One of these guys said in a kind voice, and I think I noticed a slight smile on his glowing face.

"Um... Maybe you can explain to me what's going on here?" I said in a slow voice, and cautiously, with curiosity, I began to back away.

I was shaking with fear, but these angels noticed it and hurried to calm me down.

"Don't be afraid of us. We won't hurt you. We are Keepers of the world... The World, for which you are also responsible. Now come to the table." One of the Keepers said and slowly raised his hand, pointing at the table.

I started laughing a little like crazy, continuing to look around and show curiosity. "Hahah... It seems to me that you have confused me with someone..." But before I could utter my thoughts aloud, one of these Keepers, by some magical effect, himself pushed me to the table. It was like I was sliding on nonexistent ice.

However, at the same time, I began to feel a little different. It was as if calmness and even self-confidence appeared in my soul. It was all a bit strange, but suddenly I began to realize that I was actually in the pleasant company of friends who loved me.

On this table I saw what could undoubtedly be called a holographic map. But what I saw in this image made my heart skip a beat! There were those very characters from my story! It was Heart Path and Sienna Blaze.

They hugged each other affectionately, and then after drinking some strange potions, a magical flash occurred between them. For a second I noticed how something like souls flew out of their bodies and changed places. Now the soul of Heart Path was in the body of the Kirin mare. At the same time, Sienna found herself in the body of Heart Path.

To be honest, it amused me a little. But just as I was about to express my funny thoughts out loud, Keeper, who was standing in front of this table and was also grinning at this table, decided to interrupt me.

"You do understand what you've done, don't you?"

I was in no hurry to answer, and after seriously looking at these Keepers, I realized my role in all this idiocy. "Yes, and now I am responsible for it. Now, please, bring me home. I need to continue writing this story. The plot that has been waiting for my return for so long." I said, and looked hopefully at all the Keepers.

"You will become a part of this world yourself. Now, it's time for you to take on the role of who you should be." Keeper said in a mysterious voice and leaning towards my face, he grinned. "The soul of Heart Path is in the body of a kirin mare."

I sighed and grinned, raised my eyebrows, looked with confidence into his glowing eyes. "Yes, yes! And it's not funny! You know perfectly well that I am capable of this. I mean, I can get used to any role."

All these majestic Keepers looked at each other and grinned.

"We don't doubt you. But let me remind you something, author. You can consider it a few tasks from us for you." Said one of the Keepers, and then a map of the island appeared on this magic table. An island called "Peak of Fear".

This caught my attention, and I naturally became curious. Looking at a certain part of the map, I saw that it was a Kirin village. Everything was exactly as I expected. The village was occupied by an army of demons.

The words that I could die from sex immediately disappeared from my thoughts. "Damn it! It's going to be a battle!" I looked questioningly at each Keeper, but couldn't hold back a few hysterical grins. I think I can only be understood by myself at this moment. "Heheh... Are you kidding me? And I will have to take part in this?" But realizing the seriousness of what was happening, a huge list of curses flashed through my thoughts.

Keeper looked at this map and began to outline his tasks: "First of all, you have to learn fighting skills while you are in the body of this cute Kirin mare. And take my word for it, she's a very capable kirin. This should help you in the future when you return to your human body again. Yes, you have a lot to go through. But this is your job, and you still know how to use this battle bow. Secondly, you and Discord, as well as your friends need to get the elements of nature. Start with the element "Water". You all need to extinguish the fires in the forests, and this element will help you. Then Raiden will give all the instructions." But when he said those words, I suddenly felt like I wasn't in my body.

I examined myself from head to toe, and at that moment my body seemed to transform, and some magical energy enveloped me like a whirlwind, but at the same time I felt like I was wearing a blue legionnaire tunic and scaly armor. On my belt hung a quiver with arrows, and on the left side was my faithful gladius. The helmet that Princess Celestia gave me appeared on my head. And two of her feathers decorated this helmet. I still remember their magical property.

The same dream that reminded me of my past life in the body of a unicorn stallion. Unicorn is a pony that lived in this world seven hundred years ago. And his fate is familiar to me. More precisely, the fate of this soul.

I was in a light trance when I felt the weight of this equipment on me, but the Keepers looked at me with understanding. One of them even stroked my head with a wing, which discouraged me a little, but immediately brought me to my senses.

"Don't forget about them... Now go!" Keeper said, and at that moment everything I saw before my eyes started disappearing, and again I was standing in my room in front of the computer.

"Yes! I will do a lot in this world." After these words, an image of a kirin mare named Sienna appeared in the monitor.

I grinned and there was a flash in the computer monitor, after which I was sort of sucked into this world. A world that I will explore, protect, and love.


To be continued...


Author's Note

I apologize to every reader for having published an incomplete (short chapter), but perhaps I will die soon. My brain and heart are very worn out.

I've been living the plot of this story for a long time. And I really want to continue working on this story, but I have almost no freedom.

What was written in this chapter, I did it six months ago.

My faith, hope and love gave me a reason to publish this chapter. But if I survive and return home, I will definitely edit and supplement this text.

I need your prayers for me.
