Even I have to admit.

You got to love it here!

Just ignore the fact you are in a world that is a children's TV show.

Who doesn't like the fact you have the three basics all for free of course.

Free warm nice food.

Free warm water for bathing.

And a free warm comfortable bed.

Who knew that weeb-furry-brony kid from texas would make it to a world where the three would meet?

This wasn't the same 'My little pony' (G4) from the show but an MLP world with anthros and besides the fact I'm in a common anime trope known as Isekai better known as sent to another world...

How well...

I didn't die (I think) nor was I playing an MLP video game or anything so that rules out the basics...

I could be dead the human brain suppresses traumatic events from itself so as not to go crazy such as birth or an extreme near-death exprance.

Along with that, I couldn't go through the mirror to return because of two things: One I'm already a human and who knows what I could become if I went through it, two the mirror wasn't working it spat out Sunset and just cut off all connection to the other world. Confusing yes but Star swirl is still trying to figure out what caused it, but I'm in no rush to return to earth anytime soon because this place was nicer than back home.

Don't get me wrong I miss my loved ones and friends but I think it's better for me to say than return knowing the leech I call a mother would dry me up and knowing if I were to die all of my money would go to her so she could blow it all on herself, her 'one true love', and my half-sister.

JOKES ON HER I BARELY HAVE ANYTHING!!!

HAHAHA!

Yeah, not really funny now that I think about it.

Because she might demand compensation from the military for the death of her military son...

She'll try anything to get money even it means cheating the system.

...

I sometimes wish my dad didn't have that one-night stand with my mom and found someone else.

Yeah, a dark thought but still it hurts to know my mom used my dad so she could give birth to me and drain him of money.

Fucked up, right?

Well, this is nothing from the stories I heard of, I got off easy!

Still being called many things like 'leech' still hurts knowing she gave birth to me so she could leech off him.

How many times have I felt like a burden and could do nothing about it?

Sure I went to join the united states air force not just to escape but help people...

Even then I one can only do so much since they are only one soul in the sea of many.

Guess what happened to me was one door closing and another one opening.

At least I didn't feel like a burden here for my knowledge of human progression jumped the system by 15 to 20 years.

Small things like in the case of blacksmithing.

Like turning iron to steel, folding metal for stronger weapons, oil instead of water, and staining steel armor with copper mixed with gold for the troops to have lighter armor so they could move easier.

Next to talking discord out of the biggest mistake of his life in uniting all the villains together.

Better ending in the ending.

Celestia and Luna still rule beloved by all and the princesses still learning how to rule, the elements in there well... element, Cadance and Shining being great parents for Flurry heart.

God that kid was more of a little sister than my own blood.

It was boring though...

Get up, eat, train, sleep, and repeat.

A boring life but simple.

No monsters to fight and no armies in need of going to war over.

Heh, if Earth was just like this the dark ages and both world wars wouldn't have ever happened and we would all be in a better world.

Then again it could be worse...

I don't know this life was good.

Well, it was until this happened.

I went to a museum, seems pretty innocent right?

Yeah well, Luna was with me which she should have been in bed but... I don't know why but when I explained my love for space and along with all the theories I knew about my people's ideal of space such as black holes, brown dwarfs, and all that I knew.

Let's just say a switch was flipped.

Had to admit she was easy on the eyes for one and her personality was great too along with her love for science fiction made me want to be with her.

But...

I'm mortal and Luna is well...

Immortal.

Sure I was young but in 70 to 80 years I would be old and grey while she would be watching me slowly die day by day while she is powerless to stop it.

Why would I do to her?

I had a chance for love but fate was cruel even here, it played with me back on Earth as well.

It might have been that one time for the first time I actually dated someone only in the end for her to break up with me because she just wanted to make my best friend that broke up with her jealous. This affected me by this one girl that liked me only to be disappointed by me still a bit torn from what happened before, but we were still good friends.

Years passed from that but still...

If I were to date and maybe one day tie the knot with Luna in the end it would only end for heartache for her.

...

So there we there Luna being close to me during the whole thing but when we hint at the daring doo selection, yep this world's Indiana jones had her own section of artifacts and a lot of familiar stuff where on displace but some I have never seen from the show were here too. Then we can across the museum manager who greeted us as Luna and I were talking about an artifact that looked like one of the stones from the temple of doom.

The manager had to come with the whole 'I wasn't expecting one of the princesses coming to visit' thing which made me roll my eyes as I went over to another artifact to read about it. It looked like a claw from some creator known as the 'left hand of the witch queen' had to say it was weird yet familiar.

The hand from the witch queen had been cut off after she was hung (which is weird since witches usually are burned alive or drowned) then it was pickled in a jar of 'the night's blood' for seven years then used by a mad diamond dog warlord who wanted to raise an army of 'night-walkers'? The diamond dog was stopped by a pony it was that gusty person who beat Grogar after his defeat it kinda left a power vacuum from what I read.

Yet some kinda guy thought it was a good idea to use the hand to create his own army and of course, take over Equestria but learned the hard way that Daring doo always outsmarts the villain. Mostly because it most likely no longer works because of the fact that it's been over centuries since it was used and the magic within it would have faded over time. Besides the fact it's worthless and only really an artifact of the past, it was placed in the open and behind those things to prevent people from touching the artifacts.

The thing was old but still, no one knew not to mess with anything that had a history with black magic like a plague, well apparently two little brats though a museum thought it would be fun to fight each other there. The rich snobs as their parents not giving a fuck for the kids as they laughed with their friends and talked about stuff I didn't want to think about. Honest, I didn't care it wasn't my place to judge how to raise one's kid but they at least know how to control themselves in a public place at least so what happened didn't.

These kids were about 12 or 13 but they were roughhousing and knocking each other down and into me causing me to fall forward and as we fell forward I was knocked into the display pillar of the hand as it came down and those sharp ass claws sliced into my cheek deeply. I'm no stranger to pain but it still hurt like hell as bloodshot forward the kids screamed as they were covered in my crimson life fluid this then got the attention of the parents who screamed and went all 'Karen' saying how I ruined their pure white coats with my blood like I had control over my blood.

They quickly shut up when they saw princess luna as she went to me in shock at what happened, luckily the claw missed my eye and only got my check still looking on the bright side as she helped me to my feet. Little did I know it then but that claw did have some magic within it and soon I would learn that those last few hours of me being human were to be my last as after my stitches and returning home I did what I would normally do besides the fact Celestia was shocked to hear what happened.

Though my life would change once again when Luna raised her moon-like she did many times but it came, pain that consumed my entire overwhelmed me as my skin was ripping apart, my bones shifted, and my muscle mass begins to grow at an insane rate.

I had the curse of the night-walker.

Blood rushed out from my eyes as I felt like I was dying right then and there for a moment I wanted to it was devastating for how hard I was screaming it felt like my vocal cords were being ripped. Celestia was awoken from my screams as she rushed to my aid, I didn't know to see her face but knowing her it was horror.

Who would want to see a friend of theirs in pain along with ripping himself apart with blood surrounding him?

When it was done I was so tired and numb, I should have been dead from shock from the transformation but my newfound immortality kept me alive.

Then I learned what a night-walker was...

A lycanthrope or better known as a werewolf.

My body was pulsing as I could hear my own heartbeat in my ears as it washed out Luna and Celestia's voices as they tried to ask me if I could hear them. Luna held me close...

That face I never wanted to see on their faces making me hate myself for getting myself in whatever I was in even if it was an accident.

I just held Luna's arm as I went out, exhausted from the whole process.

Now here I am...

A fucking werewolf!

Amazing right?

I love werewolves!

Heck, I had to calm the sisters down when they worried about me.

Sure I had a lot to learn from my new body...

Like how to walk on my new bent legs of an animal and such but the sisters would be there to help me through it.

Got to say being a wolf is awesome but yeah the lords and ladies who already disliked the 'hairless brute' before now hated me even more for I was now the 'Beast'.

Whatever haters going to hate, I'M A BLOODY WEREWOLF!

Now then...

How do I walk again?

I need to-

WHOA!

*CRASH!*

Owwwwwww...

...

Damn it, this is going to be harder than I thought.


Author's Note
