(Music to listen to as you read)

"ANI?"

:Yes, Imperial?:

"Is this world all sunshine and rainbows?"

:.....What?:

"Is it all sunshine and rainbows?" 'I ask again'

:.....Yeeeees?:

'A few silent moments passed, you could probably hear a cricket in the background if you really tried to hear it'

"Ugh, ok...what I mean is there like, some sort of thing that makes this world not so friendly as it was from the show? I mean, the show did put in some episodes that had some semi-intense battles...but like, there was never really any blood."

:Ah, now I understand what you're trying to say. No, this world is not as nice as it was from the show. You most clearly saw all the weapons within the history room within the castle. Those stains on the blades most certainly weren't rust spots: 'Said ANI'

"Ah, so...poverty and famine are a thing as well?" 'I ask her, my voice barely an audible whisper'

:...what are you getting at Imperial?:

"What if I did something about it? I mean, I'm most likely going to be the most powerful being in this world sooner or later...maybe...but, like...is there a chance I could change that? Help with the famine and poverty? The murdering?" 'I ask, my voice carrying a small amount of hope'

:...You'd need connections, resources, allies. Even if you become more powerful over time...you'd need to figure out your life. You can't do everything all at once. If you were a unicorn then maybe it would be easier...but you're a thestral so you don't have as much of a chance in...say...cloning an item with magic. You could potentially learn how to do more advanced magical feats later on, but not anytime soon. You can only use what you have...and right now you don't have much: 'Said ANI'

"Then it seem's to me that I'm going to need to grow as a better person and as a figurehead in this world, right...ANI?"

:Right, Imperial. I'll be by your side always; you can count on me!:

'A smile adorns my face, a wicked one filled with ambition as I closed eyes'

"Then, let's show this world what we're capable of! I will stand at the pinnacle, not even an alicorn will be able to best me if it comes down to it!" 'I pump a fist as my eye's snap open, a burning ember sparking in my heart and a fierce glare to my gaze!'

:I don't have a heart and yet you're getting me all riled up! It should be in your best intentions to keep to your words, there's a lot of helpless figures out there that are in distress. They NEED you Imperial, many are crying out for help, will you be the one to answer their call?:

"I plan to answer it, I won't back down from this! People on earth suffered, and I couldn't do much about it. But here! I can change that, I CAN make a difference, with you, this new life, and the all the options available to me! Let's show this world my determination!" 'I smile'

:Then, I guess I'll show my determination too! I can't let you get the better of me, now can I?: 'Say's ANI with a chuckle'

"HAHA! That's the spirit ANI! Let's show everybody that we aren't some small ant to be ignored! We will recognized and idolized!"

'I abruptly stand up as I do some stretches!' "Now I'm really riled up! I need to get some fighting in! Come on ANI, let's go fight some baddies!" 'Another wicked grin crosses my face, a crazed one'

:Hehe, then let's go! I'm stuck with you anyways so I can't really do much but say yes! Not like I was planning on saying no anyways!:

"Then, let's get things underway! The only way to become recognized is to become great, and I plan to become the greatest! So let's not stop and keep pushing forward!"

Author's Note

Short chapter, the title of the chapter was something that was a bit hard to work with on my end. I was originally planning to make it a bit longer but this'll work for now. Anywho, I'll make the next few chapters much longers...so enjoy!
