Spirit animal (Rewrite)
embrace insanity
Previous ChapterNext ChapterMy heart beat was slow and my breathe heavy. I was dying slowly and bleeding over zecora shoulder painting her cloak in a dark red. My vision faded in and out I could see the cold darkness of death and each time I wanted to embrace it. Be held by its cold touch and finally end. But each and every time I was going rest I was quickly shaken awake by zecora. Her voice then rang out but I could not understand a word she said. I couldn't even focus on them as my mind wandered to events in my life.
FLASHBACK
I lay there bleeding from my mouth as another kick was delivered to my gut. I keep my hands up as I was taught to do. But that did nothing to protect my legs and gut from the three bullies above me. That was when they all stopped and the ringing in my ears stopped and I heard one of them say "Oh Fuck!" and began to run. I took the chance to look and I saw the three running in the opposite direction. Then turn to see my older brother standing there looking toward the three running like cowards. He then turned to me and then crouched down to me and then said with a straight face.
"You little pussy."
PRESIDENT DAY
I was jolted from my memory and back to the real word as I was laid down on a bed. My bed was still spilling all over the place and that raised a question. How the fuck I am still alive? I was not expecting to get an answer but the voice of my doubts gave me one.
"She patched up most of the owner 's wounds and stopped some of the bleeding. And we have been here for hours, we have just been passing out. Oh and one more thing she has been feeding us this weird potion that heals us slowly but it tastes like shit so when she feeds us again do what I do. Think of the texture and not the taste, and try not to lose your lunch." At that moment zecora then popped up in my eye site and the aforementioned potion in her hands. She lifted my head as I could not do it myself and the bottle was put up to my lips. The potion was then poured down my throat and the taste was absolute shit. At first I tried to spit it back up. But I could feel the cuts and stabs closing by themselves. Forcing myself I then began to drink, not thinking about the taste and wanting to get back up on my feet.
"Zecora?... Thank you...." I say weakly as my eyes were growing dreary and I fell asleep coming close and I couldn't help but fall for it. Sleeping deeply my mind went back to my family and friends. But as I did my doubts reminded me of the time they showed me how little they cared. My younger brother not listening, and several older brothers are treating me like a personal butler. Or they treated me like a dog keeping me in a room until it was time to eat or if they needed a mess they made me clean. It does not help that a friend of his was a military's cook who thought he could be all high and mighty just because he was in the military. When he hasn't seen a fight in his entire time being in the military. But that was little when compared to my brother Roy.
He would get mad over the smallest shit. Oh I missed one plate that was being used and was put in the sink after I was done? Well that calls for being thrown in the kitchen and forced to do all the dishes again. Or the fact I didn't feel lie a brother rather I felt like garbage. I felt like I was worth the time of day let alone the very dust and trash I cleaned up. These were all factors to pushing me to the edge and wanting to just put a bullet through my head. The only person I held dear was my mother and a few of my brothers.
"That is what family did to us. Nevermind their own problems, let's treat the middle child like shit and act like everything's fine." The voice rang out in anger and I couldn't help but agree. But there was always something to live for, to protect my little brothers even if I have to die to do it. "That is something you and I can agree on." Sure I was not all there mentally but I knew my purpose and I was not going to stop. I would move heaven and earth to get back and protect my younger brothers. Not caring on what my body said and how I felt like I wanted to sleep no matter how much I wanted it as well. But Zecora then came to my side helping me stand and trying to lay me back down on the bed.
"Zecora please I have a job to do.” I say like a ghost with no emotion and staring out to the door in front of me. She looked at me with a worried look for what I could see in the corner of my eye. She then helped me up to my feet and began to walk to the front door of her home. Continuing this until I had enough strength to walk on my own I we where already at the edge of the forest. That was when all of a sudden the sun dipped down to the mountains and the moon raised and we were plunged into darkness. "Well that is not normal." Zecora looked just as confused as I did and she then asked.
"My friend the world seems to be in disarray, what has happened to the night and day?" I didn't have an answer but I couldn't just say nothing as well she is a friend.
" I don't truly know but it has to do with someone named discord." She looked at me with shock but she did not ask anymore questions so we continued to walk to the town. The very ground we walked on was like a chest broad both blue and purple. That was when I saw the main six with rainbow dash missing. That was not the only thing I noticed as I saw four of the five ponies gray and seeming to lose their color. I rushed to them as they floated form the ground glowing with a bright white light. But after that they fell to the ground with twilight on the hands and knees looking around in confusion. I was close enough to hear what they were saying I was confused on what they said.
"Mine's working, there must be something wrong with yours." Applejack said as she pointed to twilight. Was that a lie? Why would applejack lie isn't she the element of honesty?
"I hate the elements of harmony." Pinkie then said as I was more confused than before as she is the cheerful one and she hated the elements. That was when fluttershy threw her element to the ground and said garbage while doing it. As soon as she did rarity then snatched the element and said.
"Mine!" I looked on to see Spike set down the element he had and ran away. But not before he was tripped by fluttershy. I stopped paying attention after that as a familiar voice called out to them.
"Bravo ponies bravo, harmony in equestria is officially dead. Discord rules celestia drools." I ran to the twilight side with zecora behind me. As I stepped to the twilight side my blue steel combat knife drew as well as my tomahawk. But discord had already run away and the other left left hurtful words for twilight. I then put away my weapons and looked to twilight saying something I honestly would never say to anyone else.
"Twilight we got your back. Find out what is wrong with the others and I go for discord." She looked at me with shock but she put her head down in defeat. "Twilight what are you doing?" I asked as her color then faded away and a tear ran down her face. "Come on twilight you're the element of friendship and as far as I know that is the most powerful thing in this world." Her head shot up in anger looking at me.
"WHAT DO YOU KNOW OF FRIENDSHIP!" She yelled in my face, her eyes watery. "You try and avoid us like we are some kind of wild animal. You don't know friendship." She then backed up and said something I am all used to. "This is your fault if you were here to guard us we might have a chance. But no you were busy fighting, that is why you and so USELESS!" She stomped off to her home and I was an unmoving statue. Zecora seemed to notice my stillness and tried to speak to me. But I was in my head thinking and rage building.
Different universe same fucking treatment. They are not your friends, hell you the fuck needs friends. All we need is to fight. That seems to be all we are good for so we minus well do what we are good at.
"Zecora go back home, I am not asking.” I say following the soapy trail left behind by discord. My spirit animal feeding on my very own rage and turning it into strength. Strength to fight, strength to push forward, strength to push down my emotions. I found discord sitting on a throne and I did not wait for him to speak as I jumped higher than any normal man had any right to. And landing a right hook straight to the face of the mismatched kid drawing. But this did nothing as he just seemed to turn to rubber and I bounced off his face and fell squarely on my back. And discord began to cackle like a mad man that I knew he was.
"Was that your great plan, punch the god of chaos?" He continued to cackle as I gathered my thoughts and stood looking at this so-called god.
"If you're a god then I am the richest human here." He then looked at me in confusion so I started to talk shit to this so-called god. "You play with all this power like a fucken child. That is not a god nor is it chaos it is a fuck tantrum." He looked at me with anger and I knew I had what I wanted. If I want to fight him I need to show him how insane I am and for that I need him to get in my head.
"There we can show him what we can do!" As my doubts said that discord seemed to be noticed and maybe hear the voice and a smile grew on his face.
"So there is something wrong with you. I truly thought that harmony had did something to you." He paused, placing his lion hand on the top of my head and I felt myself drifting to sleep. But I smiled and said to him,
"Welcome to the madhouse." As soon as my eyes closed several images of buildings on fire. And the horrors of the world but this did nothing to discord as he saw these very things before. Then I began to think of the very monster my people believed in and the fear of the strike. This seems to do as I felt fear in discord. I then began to show what humans not in war do to each other. And that seem to do as murder abuse and all the horrors o that humans can do made discord sick to the stomach. He let my head go and he looked at me with fear and then did something I was somewhat expecting. He backed me several feet away from him but before I did I saw the six mares normal and using the elements. But began to charge what I could assume was a magic blast. Landing hard, bones broke and I could only move my right arm. Not taking any chances I pulled out my tomahawk and threw it at the chaos god. He did not have time to catch or do anything to stop it but it did not stab him rather it had just bonked him on his head. That was when he pointed at me and a magic laser went through my chest. I began to lose blood but before I blacked out I saw discord turned to stone.
"CHAZ!!" I faintly heard the six mares. My eyes closed hoping this time I would die.
"You and me both but knowing your luck. Talk to you when you wake."
