Harmony fall, is it so bad?
2- First steps (Edited)
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Don't forget to dress warmly" I sighed at the third interruption, followed by my exit "I know mom, I'm ready, I'm going out" I was opening the door practically seeing freedom when "And do you have your phone?" I felt like ignoring the voice and just getting out of there, but my survival instinct held me back.
How the hell could I forget my cell phone? I spend more time than I've ever spent hanging out with people in my life—you know, any teenager—yet I instinctively reached into my pockets, froze for a second as I contained the urge to hit my face against something, and headed to my bed to move the sheets until I found my target. I put it in my pocket and quickly evacuated my cabin before he came up with something else to make me feel like an idiot. I didn't think about saying goodbye.
After my successful escape, I walked the corridor until I reached the elevator and pressed the button for the highest floor. I was already getting impatient, and as soon as the elevator doors opened, I could hear the rain and see the drops hitting the windows, so I put on my hat and went through the last door. The cold hit me immediately, but I held on and walked to the back of the boat. I think it was called the stern, but it didn't matter, the important thing was the spectacle that awaited me.
I was on a cruise with my family, we weren't rich, but we had enough to give us a nice vacation every few years if we saved up, which brings me to where I am today.
Anyone would say that it is idiotic to go out if there is an electrical storm, because I say to those people, 'They don't know what they are missing' Lightning on the high seas does not look like you would on land or near it, it is a true spectacle, something that you have to see at least once in your life. Sadly, today I was the only one who was encouraged, my brothers and my parents did not feel like it
By the time I got to the edge of the railing, I was already drenched. "Damn, it didn't look so bad from the terrace!" I had my doubts, but I was already there, so at least I could enjoy it for a while, even if I was the only one.
SHAANG*
My foolishness was rewarded with a light show and seconds later by its thunderous roars, it was just, as I said, incredible. I was there for a long time, admiring the landscape, until the cold overcame me and I decided to return
SHAAANG*
"HOLY SHIT!" That one almost hit the boat, it only missed by a hundred meters or something, and I think it hurt my eyesight because I could swear it had a greenish tint. That's when, instead of doing what a normal person would do and seeking refuge, I decided to look out and see the electricity run through the water, and let me tell you, it was spectacular! "Ha ha! No one is going to believe me." As amazed as I was, it was impossible for me to prepare myself for what would come next.
SHAAAAANG*
That one did hit him... Now I was scared, so much so that I tripped and fell backwards, watching helplessly as the green lightning released sparks when it hit the access door and generated flames with the same color as "WHAT THE DEVIL?" Before I knew it, I was on my feet and started running to the other side of the boat while the flames followed me. I was seriously afraid. I couldn't understand how the flames could spread like that with all the water that the storm threw at us, much less their unnatural color. I can't explain it, but just looking at it, I felt a chill run through my entire spine. The sensation ordered my whole body to flee in the opposite direction, which I did not hesitate to do
SHAAAAANG*
Another bolt of lightning fell only a dozen meters in front of me. My eyes were only green, and my ears would not stop ringing to the point where I could feel thicker liquid dripping from them. I could only crawl backwards away from the heat of the flames that were getting closer, but my efforts only delayed the inevitable
“AAHHHHHH” I could feel when the fire reached my leg. The pain was like nothing I have ever felt before, and not only in intensity, as soon as the fire touched me, the pain spread through my whole body, and I could feel the flames touching my legs. Legs, however, its burning spread throughout my body as if its intent was to cause pain rather than consume everything.
I did not even have time to think about the abnormality of this fact due to the overwhelming pain that became worse and worse. With time, I could no longer feel my legs, the flames consumed them completely, but when the flames came into contact with my exposed flesh, that was when the real hell began
I could feel them coming in and spreading all over my body, inside and out, until I couldn't take it anymore. I just wanted it to stop. I have no idea how long I was there, but it was torture until I finally stopped feeling 'I'm sorry mom' That was the last thought I had before finally giving in to the agony and dying.
Slowly, the sensations returned, and I no longer felt pain. Even so, I could feel some tears running down my cheeks as a result of the traumatic event. Everything was very quiet and dark when I finally opened my eyes. My vision soon adjusted, and I could see the stone perfectly around me, my mind struggled and failed to understand how I got there.
I tried to stand up only to fall miserably and freeze to the ground, not because of the pain, strangely, I had felt almost nothing when I crashed face-first into the rock. What shocked me was the hoof that landed exactly on the spot. Same place where I felt my arm fall
...
Not know what to do
After spending some time looking at it like an idiot, I just decided to move my arm just a few inches to the left, and in response, the hoof did the same
I stared at my new limb for a while as if it contained the secrets of the universe, until the outside world caught my attention. Just two meters from me there was a pair of green lights, which made me curious or at least until my eyes they focused on the target and somehow my deformity took a backseat
"AHHHHH" A shriek of the feminine type I'm ashamed of came out of my mouth as I crawled, trying to get away from the mindless creature in front of me. "Get away from me!" I don't know if it was out of understanding or because the high-pitched tone of my screams hurt him in some way, but he obeyed and walked away from me until I reached the other side of the cave where more of them were, which only made me feel more panic. Noticing that I was surrounded by something, I just closed my eyes while I covered them with my hooves and positioned myself in a fetal position, trying to calm down
I didn't understand anything, it just didn't make any sense, but I managed to remember one thing that I've always been very clear about, and that is that panic never helps, especially when you're in an unfamiliar environment, so I did what I could to calm down by controlling my breathing and not moving at all until I was able to think more clearly
I was desperately trying to find an answer for my current situation—anything. Maybe if I died and was in hell or was left in a coma and this was a nightmare, they would make more sense than what I was seeing now, but considering how daunting it is that they were left aside
The more time passed, the more my mind became desperate to make sense of this, until I finally had an idea. It was a ridiculous one that I wouldn't normally consider, but oddly enough, it made the most sense, considering that I already ruled out the most likely ones.
I was in some kind of isekai—not ideal, but better than thinking I was in hell
I had spent some time before watching some anime and reading manga about these things, heck, I might have even gotten excited if it wasn't for the traumatic way I was transported here. My thoughts were interrupted when something started appearing in my vision, which was strange if we consider that he still had his eyes closed
It was the same rocky view from the cave, except for one small difference, there was something on the other side lying in a fetal position with what I could recognize as hooves covering its eyes. I quickly opened my eyes, and the vision disappeared. Now once more there were those strange wolves made of wood “Timberwolfves” The word left my mouth before my mind had time to process it along with a lot of information, these guys are native to the Everfree forest, have no intelligence, and are supposed to be aggressive towards anyone that is not of the same species
I stayed for a while thinking about the sudden arrival of information and its uselessness, since from what I could see, I was wrong, these guys have not done anything to me, they just stand there doing nothing
I couldn't go on like this, so steeling myself, I tried to communicate, "Um... Hello?" I didn't get an answer, at least I tried "Could you tell me where I am?" I tried again and once again without an answer, I was already getting desperate, I instinctively tried to stand up with little success, it was more difficult than you would expect from a four-legged creature, I needed help and after a slight flash of greenish light over my head finally moved two of them headed towards me, I didn't dare move until one of them leaned putting his head right next to mine, he may have been overwhelmed by everything that was happening, but I could recognize that he wanted to help me "T- thank you" without further ado, I wrapped one of my front legs around his neck while he stood up, the other positioned himself on the other side of me in case he lost his balance again, after all my hoof was not the best to stay firm, I was already beginning to miss my fingers
Currently, me and about thirty-two timberwolfves were making our way through the cave to the exit, though from time to time we had to pause because of the idiot who couldn't walk, yes, you guessed it was me, although I was already able to move on my own. And I adapted to a surprisingly fast pace, but I was still very slow and often stumbled, and to top it off, the uneven terrain of the cave did not help me
In the time I spent learning to walk in the cave, I learned three things, one, I can see in the dark, the cave had no kind of light source, and yet I could see perfectly, two, I have a kind of connection to these guys, every time I close my eyes for a long time, I can see the same thing as them, obviously only one at a time and finally, number three is that these guys, to put it simply, are hollow, they just stay there until you tell them something, or else they don't do anything, so I plucked up the courage and started giving them orders
Which brings us to our current situation, after being able to move on my own, I ordered them to take me to the surface, not that it was claustrophobic, but being in that place for so long was getting on my nerves.
And so, in a slow and steady march, we made it to the exit, where I was greeted by warm rays of sunshine and cool air.
I wasn't worried, since I had already sent a couple of timberwolves to see how things were up here, and from what I could see, at least this part of the forest is free of dangers.
After a few moments, I had a great idea, and I positioned myself in front of one of my timberwolf while he closed my right eye and concentrated. The image was not long in coming
In half my vision, I could see the exact image of a pony, except it was all wrong.
The body was squatter, I could only imagine the inside, considering that I could turn my front legs almost the same as any human arm.
The head was larger than it should be, with a shortened muzzle and large eyes, all of which added up to make his facial features clearer and more expressive. It was like a strange combination of a human face and a horse face that somehow worked quite well. Well, with red fur except for the area of the neck and belly where it was slightly lighter, a white mane and tail, two slightly curved L-shaped horns, and below I could see hooves divided in two, like those of a wild goat, I think that would help me move better through rugged areas, and finally and in my opinion, the feature that stood out the most was a completely green eye, although I could assume that this was exactly how the other looked
I stayed for a while contemplating my new figure, which could not be anything other than INCREDIBLE. This was the type of face that, if you ran into it in the street, you would run in the opposite direction. I know well that in the future it could play me in, but fuck if it didn't look right, and as for the sex change... I won't lie, it was daunting and frustrating, but as weird as it sounds, I already saw it coming. The only thing I had to use as a reference in my current situation was the mangas that I had read, and I don't know why the gender change seemed to be something common, but in a way, they prepared me for this moment
Taking everything into account, I couldn't complain about it, after all, I came back from the dead to a land of magic and fantasy. What more could I ask for? How many more would be given an equal opportunity? As disconcerting as it was, I couldn't afford to waste time bothering with it, I didn't know what kind of place I was in, and I had to worry about taking care of this new life.
Speaking of which, my stomach rumbled in protest, although I didn't know how long it had been since I arrived, I can assume it was several hours learning to walk, so I proposed a course and followed it with my loyal subjects in formation, with me in the center. , ten of them surrounding me symmetrically and another five serving as scouts, three in front of us and one on each of our sides the rest I sent in groups of five and six in different directions, so we could cover more ground and know what this Everfree was like, assuming that was his real name
Time passed, and now we were all hiding in the bushes and among the branches of the trees. Right in the center of our ambush was a full-grown deer approaching a berry tree that I had carefully placed so as not to be noticed. Slowly, he was approaching the bush, whereas as soon as I touched the first leaf, my horns gave a slight shine imperceptible to anyone but me, and in a moment, five timberwolfves subdued him, with three falling from above and two from the sides. The poor thing could do nothing. In less than a second, her throat was pierced, and she bled to the ground. In the end, my group didn't have to do anything, I could already feel the drool escaping from my meat-hungry snout, the fruits we found just weren't enough.
My henchmen were already bringing our prey to me when
“GRAAAA”
With a blow, my timberwolfves were sent flying, two of them broke because the blow was more focused on them, and my prey was stolen by a giant mutant cat. The idiot swallowed my prey in one bite
Now I was hungry and angry, and this thing was going to be the one to fix both problems. I'd make sure of that. "Kill him" I said in such a cold way that I was surprised those words came out of me.
