Spirit animal (Rewrite)

I look on at the everfree forest ahead of me, drinking a soda I sigh.

"Well I am bored as fuck right now." And as soon as I said that a letter from the sun princess herself appeared in front of me. Landing on a small desk right next to the window I was staring at. Oh yeah I meant her during the grand galloping gala. I was invited to my dismay after I went into the town to eat steak. Trying to cook it here will bring shit tons of timber wolves and manticore. And I have no traps set up for any of them back then but now I have plenty, hopefully enough.

Days before.

'Where can I find somewhere to eat?' I asked myself in my head and as usual I answered.

'How in the fuck should I know we barely come here.' I rolled my eyes at myself as I always am just a massive ass hat. 'Hey don't blame us, blame the amount of bullshit we went through back at home.' Again I couldn't help but agree with that as it was a hell hole town I called home would have made anyone there into an ass hat. Suddenly I could smell steak and not thinking I rushed to the smell. But once I made it there I then realized I went from one end of the town to the other.

"How did I smell that from all the way on the other side of the town?" I asked myself this not knowing I would get an answer. A griffin came out of the bar and looked at me.

"You, you going to stand there all day or get inside and order something?" A griffin who looked to be in his forties or maybe older. I decided to just head inside and look around, what I saw was many anthro animals. Well animals that eat meat such as lions and wolves, coyotes and that was something I was not expecting. But then again new world new rules so I just walk in looking for somewhere to sit. The only place was the bar and a tall chair, the old griffin walked behind the bar counter. Taking a seat I looked to the griffin and from then on out I ate like there was no tomorrow. While also trying to keep the mask on, this did raise a few eyebrows but they never asked. After an hour there and a lighter wallet, I left with a bartender waving goodbye.

"Ghost, what are you doing in ponyville?" I turn to see twilight with rarity and what seems like fabrics in rarities hands.

"Just here to eat, and before you ask yes I need to eat meat to survive. Otherwise I become to weak to stand or fight." Her look she gave me told me she understood but she was uncomfortable. Well I overstayed my welcome and I turned to walk away that was until I took several steps away.

"Ghost wait, Princess celestia would like to invite you to the grand galloping gala." I stopped and looked back at her with confusion, not like she could see it.

"Well I would love to but I don't have anything nice to wear." I said which was true but I also didn't want to go. I fucking hate large parties and I hate them more when everyone as their nose so far up their ass. But little did I know that was a one way ticket to being measured in so many places.

"I can make you a suit and one that could complaint your face." I looked at her not knowing what to do. So I just nodded and followed them to rarity's place. It looked like one of those carnival rides I could never figure out the name of. But it's the one with horses and it goes in circles well whatever the name of it is I could care less. That was when I realized that she was using all kinds of colors that just do not look good on me.

"Maybe an orange color with a cyan blue." She says and she seems to nod no and move on to the next set of colors. I then spoke up just wanting to have a plain suit.

"Rarity can I just have a black suit with a red tie?" I asked and she turned to me and gave me a critical eye. Looking over the black and then the red she thought about.

"Darling may I ask why you want those colors in particular?" She looked at me getting the black and red fabric.

"Well my mothers favorite color is black. And red matches it nicely." She looked at me clearly in shock at my comment. She then rushed to wherever she went to make the suit and she then came back asking.

"Anything else for the suit like any design?" I thought about what I wanted for the suit and all I wanted was something simple. I then realized she didn't make a mask for the suit so I decided to ask for one as a new one to add to the collection.

"Can you make a skull mask for the suit, but make the skull only the bottom of my face and red with the rest black." She looked at me and rolled her eyes.

"Well, darling if I am going to do that I am going to have to measure your face." She said looking at me like I was supposed to do something first.

"Alright then measure my face." I say now getting what she wanted but said that to make sure I was right.

"Well I am going to have to measure your face without the mask." I stopped standing where she had told me to stand to face her.

"No" I say, not wanting to show my face.

"Darling what do you have to lose and besides I will keep it between us." She said but I didn't waver. Although I did move the mask only up to my noise. My eyes were covered by me doing this so I didn't see her shocked expression. With the feeling of the measuring tape around my chin, cheek and nose. Then I felt her hand on my cheek with the feeling on her thumb feel my skin.

"What are you doing?" I soon said that she backed away and said something that still shakes me to the core.

"You're human?!" I quickly put the mask down and got on my jacket and anything I had on me. walking out of the building I heard twilight call out to me but I just walked. Walked all the way to the forest and back home.

After spending a few days in the forest and just staying home. I even cooked some meat as I would not want to take a chance at the town again. But of course the six ponies knew where I lived and on that day they saw what I was capable of.

Twilight POV

"Twilight I swear to celestia he is human." Rarity said from behind me, and I could hear the other start to speak.

"Rarity you are starting to sound like lira." Rainbow dash said flying above the group.

"Well rainbow the human legends are fun to read about. But from what we know about Ghost he does have similar traits to a human." I say looking forward and down at the Legends of Humans book. The warriors of the Navajo humans best fit for Ghost after all, his weapons looked so similar to the ones depicted by the book. Looking up I saw we were getting closer to his house. My eyes grew with excitement at the many answers I will get for the many questions I have. That quickly went away with the site of the many remains of the timberwolves on his front lawns.

"So why are you here and what do you want?" The familiar voice of Ghost rang out from the porch of the house. Turning my eyes to the voice I saw his face. The small eyes, nose and short hair confirmed what Rarity had said before. This was a human.

Chaz Cooley POV

The six mares in front of me looked at me with fear. Well five out of six of them did, Rainbow dash looked at me like I was some kind of comic book hero.

"So you know what I look like and you all have questions no doubt." I say twilight, nodding her head and conjuring up the infamous notepad and ben.

"How did you get here, in the everfree forest that is?" Twilight asked her pen to write down anything and everything I said.

"It happened during the night, right when I was going to sleep I saw the night sky move faster than any right it should have." They looked at me with curious looks and I continued with the sound of pen writing like there was no tomorrow. "Stars zoomed past, making white lines throughout the sky. Suddenly my bed rose from where it lay and without warning the bed dropped with me on top and I found myself here after being knocked out." They looked at me like a bunch of kids at story time during kindergarten. Twilight after writing what I had spoken about she asked another question.

"How long have you been here?" I looked over to the bedroom door down the hall. That was my room and on the other side of the house was my grandfather's room. But my room held tally marks for how long I have been here. I knew how much they added up to and I did not like the answer.

"One year and two weeks, that is how long I have been here." their eyes widened and twilight looked at me with the most shock.

"You've been here for a year, sugarcube?" Applejack said with disbelief in her voice. I nodded, not saying a word and scratching the stubble on my face. Man, I wish I could grow a beard. Suddenly a rainbow dash jumped up and said.

"That makes it even cooler than before." This made me chuckle and smile with teeth. That got the attention of all them but the one who acted was fluttershy.

"You have canines, does that mean you eat meat?" She asked, getting a little too close to my face. Her chest met mine and that was when she backed up with a blush. "Oh my gosh, sorry." She said behind her head and hands.

"Its okay, yes I have canines and yes I need to eat meat to live. Otherwise I would too weak to stand making me a meal for the timber wolves." Rainbow dash then laughed at that statement and pointed out the masses of timber wolves bodies outside. Then pinkie hopped to me with the biggest smile on her face and asked.

"When's your birthday?" I looked at her dead in the eyes and said as calmly as I could be.

"No." she then began to pout and then said.

"Oh why not." This went on for several minutes until she then had the bright idea to try and find something with my birthday on it. Stopping her by putting my arms around her she then grew a devilish smile. That was when I realized the game was rigged from the start. turning with my arms around her shoulders she then put her arms around me and hugged me.

"Yeah Pinkie! Damn it, not again let go!" I say but my words when on deaf ears as her grip seem to get titier.

"No, not until you tell me your birthday!" She said with the most happy written face I could ever see on a pony. Not seeing any other way out of this I did what I could do.

"Distraction!!" I say using one of my arms to boop her snoot and this seems to work as she went cross eyed and let me go. I take several steps away from pinkie only to see her staring into space with the biggest blush on her face. I wondered why she was like that until she then zoomed out the door without saying a word. "Did I do something wrong?" I asked the others all looking at me in shock.

"You do realize that booping a ponies nose means affection right?" Twilight asked me. Not was now my turn to be staring out to space as I realize the big fuck up I did. After that I led them home as it was getting dark and a few more days later the gran galloping gala was here. It was nothing to write home for all it was as I suspected just stuck up ponies with their noses so far up their asses I swear they could be inside out at this point.

With the suit, red tie, and red skull mask that covered the bottom of my face. I felt dapper as fuck not going to lie. Hell I fucking love the suit. I really need to thank rarity for the suit. Maybe I could help her with her crystal hunting thing she does. Walking around I got away from all the hateful looks the ponies were giving me. That was when I stumbled on the sun princess herself celestia.

"You know, for someone who holds this whole thing in her castle. I would expect for her to at least watch over it." I say walking to her without a care in the world. She looked at me and her eyes looked on in surprise.

"So my star student was right. You are a human, the only question is why are you here?" Her gaze turned stone cold and I for one am finally glad to see something familiar.

"Ha don't worry at all princess I am not here to innovate or anything like that all I want is to go home." Her look only changed a little and even then I doubt that anyone would notice. I only noticed it mainly because she is several feet taller than me. And she had a goddess-like figure that I admit I was staring at. 'Don't even think about it, you had a snowball chance in hell back home. What makes things different here? The familiar voice rang out in my head and I just ignored him and continued to talk.

"Well, princess," I said. "Would you know anyone who can send me home?"
She took a few steps, stopped and turned, looking at me intently.

"I could," she replied. "I could get you home, but only when you have proven yourself trustworthy." She turned again and took several paces away from me. I suddenly had the feeling there was a caveat to this trust. When I didn't immediately follow she stopped once more and faced me. Her gaze was almost withering. "I can send you home," she explained, "but you must prove that you are honorable enough to keep a promise."

"What promise?' I asked.

"You must swear an oath. First, never to tell anyone about this place. Second, never to return yourself," she said. That got me mad.

"I don't believe this SHIT! I never wanted to be here in the first place! I have been here for a year now and you're going to put conditions on helping me? I've already helped you and then some! Doesn't that prove anything?" I yelled, letting my anger build, It felt good to let my feelings go, yet behind it was something else, something I wasn't completely aware of in the moment.

Princess Celestia let me vent for a moment, then asked a calm, clear and cold question. "How do I know you care for this land? How can I trust that you care enough for my ponies to not return with a human army behind you? How do I know that you will not tell anyone about this?"

I abruptly stopped seeing the logic in her statements.

"This is why you must prove you are trustworthy. This is why I want you to be a soldier for me. Once this is done then you may go home. I give you my promise." Her eyes softened, melting away some of my anger. "Do we have an understanding?" She reached out her hand to me. I didn't feel I had much choice so I took it.

"Know this, your Highness," I said "If you go back on your word there will be hell to pay." She looked at me with a hard glare, though her voice remained calm and firm.

"Is that a threat, human?"

"I don't make threats, Princess," I replied, letting go of her hand. "I make promises." I turned and walked away, but as I did, I could have sworn I could see her mouth curl into the slightest of smiles.

Present day

Opening the letter I saw that it was a mission. The mission seemed simple: accompany the elements and make sure nothing happens to them. Then once at the castle protect them from someone called discord.

"Don't know if he's able to send memes to my friends. But who ever he is I hope he not too fucking weird."
