“Damn me and my big mouth!” I thought to myself as I stand in the middle of the forest clearing waiting for my imminent death as these timberwolves surround me and were ready to eat me up to shreds. They seem to be taking their time as they circle me and the man but keeping themselves hidden in the trees. The man, figure, whatever he is was somewhat relaxed about what was happening right now. Actually, his face is rather expressionless as he continues to stare at me waiting for me to do something.

“Dude, how are you so calm about all this?! We gotta find a way out of here!” I said clearly the fear shown in my voice but I tried to keep my face calm as I looked around for any possible escape routes or any openings at all.

“I summoned you here for a reason. I want to see why the old book chose you instead of anyone else more powerful.” He said plainly and continued to look at me not even bothering the wolves around him.

“What?! What you expect me to have some…” I stopped noticing the timberwolf that was about the pounce behind him. “LOOK OUT!” I said pointing toward the wolf’s location.

He didn't bother to look where the wolf was but simply raised his open hand in the wolf’s direction. Then I saw a black aura surrounding his hand as the wolf finally got out of its hiding spot and jumped straight toward him. Just then the wolf was enveloped by the dark aura floating in the air but that didn't stop it from biting and barking at him. In a blink of an eye, he closed his hand into a fist and the wolf was crushed his green blood spilling everywhere even hitting the man’s hoodie a bit. the timberwolf was nothing left but crushed wood. Then he simply dropped it to the ground crossing his arms again and continued to look at me with a blank expression.

My mouth was wide open at that point, he just killed that timberwolf like he had fought worse! I watched the entire thing happen in a matter of seconds and whoever this guy is…he sure is powerful. Then suddenly a timberwolf jumps from behind me and pushes me to the ground. I had my guard down and a timberwolf took this opportunity to charge right at me. I quickly grabbed its muzzle and jaw before hitting the ground trying to push it away from my face. I was face to face with the timberwolf trying desperately to fight the damn thing and I was only a few inches away from death.

“HEY! I COULD USE A LITTLE HELP HERE!” I shouted as I continue to struggle from the timberwolves jaw.

“Help yourself, I am not saving your ass until I can see what you're really capable of.” He said not moving an inch.

The timberwolf then took a bite from my shoulder causing me to scream in pain as I returned my focus back to the timberwolf. I tried to punch its muzzle with my free arm but that only made it bite harder into my shoulder. I feel my body weaken from the loss of blood as my punches were getting weaker with every hit. Is this how I die? Just when I thought my life had just begun this is how it ends for me? I could never see my parents again and they won't even know that I am dead or gone from home…

Is this the end?.....

“NO! Get a hold of yourself! This is not where your story ends! This is only the beginning! You have just been given an adventure of a lifetime and you're just gonna give up like that!? FIGHT!” My thoughts shouted causing me to grab the timberwolf's mouth and try to lift it up from my shoulder once more.

“FIGHT!”

Slowly the timberwolf’s muzzle lifted from my shoulder as I pulled it away with my newfound strength as I got up from my feet.

“FIGHT!”

My body began to heat up as the timberwolf was now off my shoulders. To my surprise, the wounds in my shoulder were gone leaving behind smoke where they once were. I then used my other arm to hold its jaw tight and then its muzzle. The timberwolf seemed to be shocked by my sudden recovery as it tried to pull away from my grasp only to be met by resistance.

“FIGHT!”

The fear in my eyes was gone replaced with anger as I stared deep into the timberwolf’s eyes little fiery flames were appearing everywhere in my body. I could only grin as the timberwolf was now whimpering at me.

“Your gonna regret that,” I said almost in a whisper as I ripped its jaw and muzzle apart from its face. it backed away in fear as I slowly approached it. The wood that was in my hands then burned leaving ashes behind then I held my hands together then opened them up to reveal a small fire in my left arm. The timberwolf quickly knew what I was going to do and tried to flee.

“Oh where do you think you're going?!” I said releasing a small chuckle as I threw the small fire into the fleeing timberwolf and landed behind its back. The fire immediately spread around the wolf as it continued to run away and into the forest.

“WHO’S NEXT?!” I shouted gesturing for them to come and attack me. The rest of the timberwolves watched the whole thing unfold and let's just say they were not happy with the results. The man continued to stare at me but instead of a blank expression, it was replaced with a small smile on his face. At least that's what I think is on his face right now. All of The timberwolves finally got out of the trees they were hiding forgetting about the man that was still watching everything and headed in my direction.

These powers I had obtained were quite familiar and it took me a while to realize what they were. When I did a large smile was plastered on my face as the timberwolves surround me I then snapped my finger and sure enough, a small fireball appeared.

“WATCH YOUR EYES!” I shouted squatting down and releasing the fireball into the air. It then exploded blinding the timberwolves as they crash into one another. I then took this opportunity to create a blaze to surround the timberwolves in flames with nowhere left to run. The timberwolves were bunched up together as the fire surrounded them.

Then I tried to switch it up a bit and used another power I was also familiar with. As I did the flames around my body died down replaced with a windy feeling to it. I launched myself into the air dashing myself into the night sky and overlooking the timberwolves that were still surrounded by the wall of flames. There were about five timberwolves that were in the fire perfect for five knives into each of their wooden heads. Like magic, five throwing knives floated behind me ready to be used each knife hitting its target. The firewall had finally died down revealing the five timberwolves dead on the spot each having knives in their foreheads

As I descend back down to the ground the man finally got up from his tree and was walking towards me.

“Hmph, it looks like your not useless at all. You have proven to yourself that you can fight….Uh, what's with the look on your face?” he says confused as I still had probably the biggest smile the world has ever seen.

“I HAVE FUCKING POWERS!” I shouted laying on the grass and laughing like a kid as the man continues to stare at me in disgust.

What they do not notice is that they were being watched in the skies above as an alicorn stares at the both of them from below. She had seen the fight in its entirety and how she saw the creature’s power feared her the most. A race that was defeated long ago by her and her sister had returned once again with the power of magic in their hands.

“Humans..” She says in disbelief as she flies back to canterlot to warn her sister of the coming storm that is brewing...
