Chapter 6: Thoughts on Magic and Love

Previous Chapter

'Things seemed to have calmed down as I made my way into the town, ponies were still cleaning up the messes that were left behind due to the events that happened ONLY a few minutes ago. I mean...it only took a few minutes for such an event to happen, man...imagine the property damages and the payments ponies are gonna have to pay for all of this! Luckily I wasn't one of the unlucky homeowners who owned a business establishment or home within this dainty little town.'

'I couldn't help but chuckle to myself at the stupidness of all that had happened. I mean, it was most likely SUPER stress inducing for these here ponies but I guess it was also something most enjoyed. I forgot to note that most of the ponies were laughing and smiling as the weirdness around them happened. Not a single one of them seemed remotely angry, sure some seemed upset but they weren't furious. It was actually nice to see such easy going sentient beings that considered this enjoyable, even if the events were troublesome.'

'I continued forwards as I began to get closer and closer to the town, I had an idea of what to do but it was...risky to say the least. Of course, I wanted to buy some property within the town, I know it MIGHT be a dumb idea but its safer then living in that forest of horrors. The forest, as I had stated earlier was quite risky to a degree. Most creatures within that forest only ever come from THAT forest. I could bet a hundred bits that some of those creatures are probably not even catalogued with data as to what they can do or even have proper names!'

'In reality I was no zoologist, I was an ex-soldier. I didn't join the army just to travel the world to see all sorts of pretty and exotic animals that were lining up for photos for some sort of skimpy fashion show! Of course, the animals in world would CERTAINLY do that seeing every creature on this planet was pretty much sentient. The sentience for these animals was most likely possible with the magic this planet had to provide for all of things that existed upon it. Most books that were accessible within libraries stated, "Everything has a source of magic, something without magic would be considered abnormal" or so how it goes.'

'ANYWAYS! Back to the story at "hoof"!

'The sights and sounds of the town were pleasing to ears, I hadn't interacted with a large populace for QUITE some time since I had...excused myself from pony society to live a more antisocial life just so I could reign some certain personal "issues" in.'

'My gaze continued to linger over the houses and streets as ponies milled about, doing menial tasks such as rebuilding and cleaning. Ponies were also REALLY and I mean REALLY good at getting things done. I expected this town to be fixed up within a matter of days due to a means of "magic".

'Magic was CERTAINLY a useful tool within this world if you were a unicorn. Of course, earth ponies and pegasi have latent magical abilities as well such as earth ponies being MUCH stronger than most ponies, pegasi being more resilient and durable and also being able to manipulate almost non-physical matter such as "clouds". Of course, magic doesn't count towards an earth ponies strength or maybe it does? Usually from I've seen its mainly towards more of manipulating things such as the earth and the plant life, then again maybe magic is mostly usable in all sorts of ways for earth ponies.'

'During my inner monologue I had noticed or well smelled a peculiar scent that IMMEDIATELY got my mouth water...or was it muzzle? It was the scent of the delicious treats all creatures should know of, muffins! My mind immediately went into action as I tried to pinpoint the scent and I had a lock-on! It was a...mare carry a tray of what seemed to be fresh muffins! The mare was in question "Cute" but also "Exotic" due to the strange feature she had about her body. Her eyes were the exotic part...yes they were strange but it was most certainly cute, a very adorable cute might I add.'

'The gaze I held was almost a glazed look as I stared at her as she slowly trotted by, in all honesty I was conflicted. On one hoof, I remembered the moral standards humans had when it came to...animals and means of "sex". See, this world was different. There was no humans to make such laws or claims and yet it still felt weird in a way. I knew I had a new body, I knew I was a different species, I KNEW the only chance of me having children was if I had attempted to "mate" with one of the ponies or...some other species.

'Us humans, or well "me" the "ex-human" was MOST CERTAINLY conflicted on how to react to such feelings towards another species! In this world or well nation, love was considered a very precious thing and many cherished it. The higher authoritarian figures such as the two princesses most certainly aimed towards having a peaceful nation and loving subjects.'

'I for one was a supporter of love but I was no fanatic, I considered love a brittle thing. In reality love was unstable and yet so STRONG! Love was something that bring so many together and I mean it when I say it could do wonders for others if random Indvidual's were to just hug. Usually the physical contact of another can lead to so many things such as a feeling of appreciation, a feeling "lust" or "desire", a feeling of comradery, a feeling of friendship and so on! In truth it was a very touching thing to have within ones life.'

'Now, I was about to do just that. I was about to and GOING to...attempt to spark a moment or desire of love between this mare and I. There was a few issues though, maybe this mare wasn't a nice mare? Maybe she preferred other mares? Maybe she was a cougar that was REALLY good looking...even if she was another species...only time would tell if I either came to the chance of fucking this encounter up or winning big!'


Author's Note

Im curious about something, if any of you want I could do a 10k word chapter when I reach chapter 10. For each ten chapters I could do exactly that. If you would like me to do that then say something in the comments!
