Life is one of the most strange to experiences, but how would it end? Death is the only one that shows the open arms to the next stage of life, but it never last long some of the times. It’s fast or slow how did it all start?

Red Harlow is a good example. He was one of the world’s greatest gunslingers and bounty hunter ever known back in the day, but his death was a mysterious thing. The folk thought he died in a gun fight or even betrayed, but most think he died peacefully knowing that his vengeance was served.

But there was another, so many years later another man who have had the thoughts of peace, but as a dream they always never meet their expectations. Arthur Morgan was highly fast and strong cowboy to ever live. But has lived his nearly his whole life as an outlaw with Dutch. He killed, robbed for a living. But when the world was starting to make order with law things change everything. And the so trusted leader Dutch left Arthur along as his sickness slowly begin take his life away, and died in the sunlight.

Another thought had an idea for vengeance for the fallen brother, John Marston once the outlaw was then a simple family man. First killed a man who was after him and his family but then was found by the law and was in duty to put Dutch to the ground. But in the end the deal goes south with Marston out gunned and killed by Pinkerton.

But what would have happened if their fate was altered for a reason… no it’s just magic it’s luck, and with that power of luck something happens to the three cowboys.

John shouts out as he tries to keep stand also reaching for his gun, pulling his revolver he fires at a tree scaring some animals away. The man soon stops to breathe and sees his surroundings as he takes the moment to know that Edger and the others are not here anymore. “What the hell is happening? I… I” John said getting up, putting his revolver away as well.

“I don’t get it… I was shot all over” he said looking at his body and feels nothing. But looking around some more he is in a completely different place and must be far from home. “Was it a dream? I don’t know anymore” he says before knowing that talking to himself won’t fix nothing.

“A town… yeah I’ll need to find a town” he said he whistles for his horse and gets no response ‘shit’ he thinks before groaning as he begins to walk. “This doesn’t make any sense” he said climbing up some rock and then starts to slide down.

“How am I here and how did I survive?” He asked

But once he finds a sign he walks over to it and sees a path “Ponyville? The hell is that? Must be a town” he said walking forward. John adjusts his hat looking up at the sky seeing the nice blue sky, the grass, flowers blooming. The bunnies hop around as deer eat the wheat off the ground but soon runs away as John walks by dusting himself off a bit. But then the wind blows his hat off of his head landing on the floor as some dirt lands on it.

A hand picks up a hat as he looks at it “how did that get here? I thought I gave it to…” the man soon gasped hearing himself. Not coughing and his body doesn’t hurt that badly, plus he feels heathy. The sickness, it’s gone? ‘But how?’ He thinks looking at his hands.

“Where is that snake!?” He soon said looking around pulling his revolver out. But no luck, he not here, no one is here Dutch, the Pinkerton or even Micah. Arthur soon puts his weapon away not seeing anything wrong but then pays more attention seeing the area he was at. ‘Must be near strawberry’ he thinks walking around, but soon taking a minute he soon feels hungry and notices some animals around “better get my strength back and have some damn food!” He says reaching back for his revolver again.

He sees a big rabbit sit there, he walks slowly raising his revolver and aims down sights…

*BANG*

As Arthur picks the bunny he laughed lightly before stopping to see a deer stand and looks at him. He stops and stands still as the deer looked at him, but then the deer slowly walks away giving the man the sent of déjà vu, he hears a twig snap making him pull his revolver out again and turns quickly dropping the rabbit and aims to-

“Arthur?”

He stops and stands still nearly dropping his gun as he takes a second to see if it’s true

“Marston?”

A moment ago

John continued more on the path wondering on what his family is doing and how things are doing. “Uncle… he gone too, but if I am here maybe he is around” he said before then getting the thought “Abigail, Jack… don’t worry I’ll be home soon” he says before he hears the sounds of a loud bang.

Not to far from the path he could see what looks to be a tiny camp of some kind could be someone there that he can talk just for some help. Slowly as he walks to the camp he takes one step at a time but then sees the man makes him step one more time on a twig. The man drops the rabbit and turns around pointing his revolver at John but then stops as he sees him.

“Arthur?”

“Marston?”

John takes a moment and rubs his face and looks again and it’s true, it’s him “but I though you…” he stops as he laughed lightly hugged him like it’s been forever seeing him, John just stands there speechless “but I thought you were?”

“Dead? Nah… or maybe… I don’t know. But that don’t matter” he said looking at him up and down and noticed “you look older the last time I saw you? The hell happened?” He said walking over to pick up the rabbit. “Well… uh you died” he said

Arthur stops for a second before he picks the rabbis up and sits down before looking up at John “sit. And… tell me what has happened” John walks around a bit before he explains the years that has happen.

He first tells him that Micah and Dutch along with Bill are dead. But his hiding was in jeopardy after getting caught by Edger Ross. He tells him that he wanted Dutch dead and so they made him do the dirty work for the Pinkerton. But in the end he was tricked and murdered by Ross.

“That’s a lot to take in… Dutch is gone, but Abigail and Jack what about them?” Arthur asked as John looked down “I don’t know… after uncle was killed I told them to run away, there were after me anyway” he says looking back up. Arthur soon takes his bite of rabbit and thinks on what to say “so uh what happened to my stuff I gave you?” He said

John soon then takes his hat off “well your hat had been placed on your stone after I killed Micah. But for your satchel I finished all the things you never did after your passed. But I did keep the journal” He said taking the satchel off and hands it to Arthur.

He looks at it and sees the age has done to it ‘he was not kidding’ he thinks before he puts the satchel on as he looks back at John “well now what?” He said as he continued on his rabbit.

“The the first thing is to find a town, now I did find a sign leads to a town called Ponyville” he said

“Ponyville? The hell kind of name is that?” Arthur said

“Don’t know don’t care. I need to find Abigail that all matters for me” he said before standing up “so do you want to come with me? Or do you wish to stay?” He offered

Arthur looks away thinking about Abigail and the young boy Jack who is probably grown up a bit before he looks up and nods “sure, definitely John” he said as he stands John and Arthur soon shake hands as they get up and kill the fire. The duo soon leave the forest and follow the path as they make their way to town.

“Hey John? Got any other stories you done?” Arthur said

“Yeah I do have some. But what to pick… oh I got this strange one that nearly felt like a dream… there was a time where people were coming back to life and were eating other humans alive… it felt like a nightmare but it seamed to real to believe”

“Okay now I do think you’re full of shit” Arthur laughed Whitehall makes John laugh too as they continue onward.

“We got a problem!” A big brute said running down the hall trying to keep the bag of money together. He stops to see the boss who stops to look at the big dog “what is it Shigy?” The boss dog said

“We got some kind of beast killing our group they know about the robbery!” He said making the boss stop and walks out “it can’t be” he said as he finds his bodyguard dead with a hole on his head “he has found us gents” he said before he grabs the grunt fur “now get the money out of here and don’t stop running… GO!” He shouts and the dog nods before he runs away but soon a loud bang rings in the cave and the dog falls over dead.

“You all won’t be leaving” the stranger said making the first of the dogs growl looking at the being. He slowly spins the weapon and puts it back in his holster as he looks at the diamond dogs.

“So you found us? Good cus I have been waiting to rip your throat for the amount of grunts you have killed!” The boss said

“Maybe you should have never killed so many ponies” he said

“Well then what do you want now bounty hunter?” The boss said

The hand covered in red cloth grabs the revolver “now you will pay on what you’ve done” he and grabs his revolver and fires so fast that all the grunts around the boss fall down dead. The boss grunts in pain as his leg bleeds before looking up at Red Harlow who aims the gun at him. They both say nothing as he fires the last bullet to the head killing the boss.

Red drops the bag of money in front of a group of ponies who gasped and soon cheer. “Thank you Mr. Harlow! Is there anything we can repay you?” Red said nothing and slowly walks away “I don’t need your money… but all I ask is to keep your people safe…” he says before he slowly walks away towards the sun set.

Red Harlow looks back at the resident tiling his hat and soon walks away making way back to canterlot.

Death was the calling to all but their purpose will soon be called to all three of the cowboys. But now in the word of Equestria the journey of Arthur Morgan, John Marston, and Red Harlow begins. Stay turned next time on Red dead redemption the legends!
