Spirit animal (Rewrite)

I lean on the wall of the train. Thinking of the week that had passed by. Of course trying to be on good terms with the ponies was not easy. Especially when you tell them to call you Ghost and keep your name a secret. Honestly the only reason why I did that was mainly because I don’t trust any of them. My mind wanders to the monsters in this world, and some of the ones in mine. My people believed in some monster that seemed like nonsense in their own world. But here the impossible is very possible, magic is used like technology in my world. But I have to say the monsters back home are 12 times scarier than the ones here. There is the skinwalker, the wendigo, the floating head and lots that even other people across the world believe in. That was when I was tapped on the shoulder by a purple hand.

“Ghost are you okay? You have been quiet for a while.” Twilight said as she came up to my chest. I wasn’t tall by any means but I am lucky to get as tall as I am considering how short my mother and father are. But I was only 5 foot 6 and twilight was only up to my chest. Have I gotten taller or are they shorter than normal humans? I noticed that she was staring at me waiting for an answer from me.

“I'm fine Twilight, just lost in my own thoughts.” I say as she grew a smile from my reply.

“What were you thinking about?” She asked, standing to the right of me.

“Just how magic is so normal here, and the monsters here as well.” I say looking straight ahead at the moving desert out the window. “How there are monsters in my word, but most did not believe in them. Mainly because magic in my world is a work of fiction.” I say and turn to face twilight. Only to see her with a pen and notepad writing down what I had just said. I couldn’t help but smile under my skull ski mask.

“What else is there in your world Ghost?” She asked, looking at me with stars in her eyes. This went on for a while as I told her all the things in my world. Of course some were just too similar like my people and the buffalo here.

From what I have heard they are like native American but I need to see it to believe it. Of course I did tell twilight or anyone this. Already have shit tons of questions dont want more. The day went by pretty fast and before I knew it, it was dark. Honestly time moves differently here and I can't figure out why.

"Everypony I believe it is time for us to get some rest." Twilight said using her magic to get into pajamas.

"Agreed twilight." Applejack said going to the bathroom to change. Heading to bed as well, normally is that I sleep all day and stay up all night. But the six mares here came to my house to ask for protection. Seeing a pay day I decided why not. Of course this was in the early morning so I am beyond tired. After seeming that all the girls where in pajamas I walked to my bed they left for me.

"Uh, Ghost you know it's more comfy if you sleep with the mask off right?" I heard applejack say and I laid my weapons down.

"Yeah silly. Let's see that sleepy face of yours." Pinkie said hopping to me with a wide smile. Her hand reached for the mask and I acted fast. My hand shot up quick enough to catch hers. She stopped and looked at me with ' I'm sorry' look.

"The mask stays on understood." Using my big brother voice she nodded her head and zoomed back to her bed. Shaking under the blanket pinkie dud not want to be seen by me. Fhe other turned to me and twilight spoke.

"That wasn't nice Ghost." I simply rolled my eyes and claimed into bed. Closing my eyes I slept as peacefully as it could get, hoping that this was just one bad dream. But all I saw was darkness as usual due to the fact I don't dream anymore. But recently I felt something or someone calling out to me. Like there is someone trying so hard to get into my nonexistent dream. This has been going on for a while now but I just ignore it. Suddenly I was awoken by the train cart being shacking wildly.

Standing I got my bow and lance I headed outside. Telling the six to stay inside as this could get messy. Taking a look around the cart I saw something I just could believe. The very buffalo I refused to believe where running along side the train. Not only that but the had Navajo attire. Male with only pants and moccasins the one female with a top and that same as the males. I was too stunned at what I was seeing I didn't even notice rainbow dash chance after the female.

Only when I snapped out of it was when the took the finally cart of the train. Drawing an arrow to fire at the buffalo I aimed a shot ready to let loose. That was until an owl landed on my shoulder. This was strange as a owl all the way put here is unheard of. That was until I looked into the eyes. Normally an owl's eyes are just black like any other predator of the forest. But this one held a soul and that soul I knew without a doubt was my grand father. Lowering my bow and arrow I let them going.

"Ghost! What in tarnation was that!?" Applejack yelled to me form the cart.

"Those buffalo are too much like my people. It would be shameful if I brought harm to them." I say not knowing the type of question hell I unleashed upon myself.

“Wait, you mean the buffalo here are like your people? Living in the desert and wanting ponies off their land?” Twilight asked this time Applejack must have heard her as she came walking to me.

"Well similar or not we peacefully resolve all the disputes between us and the buffalo.” Peacefully? Really well the ponies are different to some degrees as well humans would just kill the buffalo and move in regardless.

“Well, the best course of action is to head to applepalooza and find out where the buffalo are.” The four that remained on the train agreed and as soon as we made it to the town I regretted the decision. The first pony there was just annoying and I was not having it. My god dose this gut not shut the ever lasting fuck up. The only part I had caught was the part about the buffalo all of sudden wanting their apple orchard gone. ”Hold that thought apple fucker.” I say and applejack looked at me with confusion and discus.

Her cousin looked at me with a glare and he stomped to me and stood in front of me.

“What you say freak.” He said trying to be scary but I have faced grown men trying to kill me. I stood emotionless.

“I said, you most likely put this apple orchard on land that doesn't belong to you.” His face looked shocked at what I said. This led to my getting to know the sheriff of the town. After several minutes of yelling and throwing punches I decided that I fully agree with the buffalo.

But that would be seen as they all have a chance to change things and to not make the same mistake humans made. After waiting and doing nothing I saw them fight the chief of the buffalo clan and the sheriff of the town. Of course that was after the show pinkie and spike put on so there was that. Hearing the word of both I knew I had to do something as the chief threat to the town and the apple farm. Walking to the both of them pushing each other head to head. Guess cus they have arms and legs they are still pretty much animals.

“Enough you two.” I say as I grip them both by the back of their necks. This had the effect I wanted as they could do nothing but walk with me as I moved to the sheriff's office.

“What in tarnation do you think you are doing boy!?” The sheriff yelled as I made him sit down.

“What kind of pony are you? And why do you wield the weapons of a buffalo?” Getting serious I make sure no one can get inside and no one can see inside. Taking off the mask I began to speak.

“We stay here until we agree on something to do. If not I either help the buffalo or the ponies. I will decide if there is no middle ground understood?” I turned to face them as their faces looked at me with fear and confusion. But the one that confused me the most was that the buffalo chief bowed to me. “What are you doing?” I asked as he stood and told me something I had expected since I had seen them.

“You are the great kind that had taught my ancestors how to live in the desert. And I will follow anything you say, Great one.” I was stunned at this but I saw it as a way to settle this in peace.

“Sheriff make a path through the apple orchard and allow them to have some of the apples. In return the chief will help you in battles you need. Deal?” After he had thought about it he extended his hand and the chief took it. "Chief make peace with the ponies there is no need for blood shed." Putting back on my mask I headed outside and walked to the train.

“Ghost, what do you tell them?” Twilight asked right behind me.

“I made peace, after all I don’t want to see my people suffer.”

Getting on the train I lay down on one of the bed. Not caring about the weapons I them fall asleep as I know that the buffalo will keep his word.
