The Indomitable Human Spirit

In the light of afternoon sun, the human lay twisted amidst the rubble of the mountain, a crater made of his human body. Pain pulsed through his mangled limbs and shattered bones, each breath a struggle against the weight of his injuries. As the sun cast its light on his body upon the scene of a broken body of this human, his mind stirred with fragments of memories, moments of his childhood, and times of his life that led him to this moment in time. He tried to recall the moments before that led him to this, perhaps bloody scene.

—————— somewhere on Earth ———————-

It was a beautiful sunny day in the unknown depths of the mountain. Clouds of fog had moved in while Aaron was napping in his home away from the stresses of everyday life. Aaron was a man of little in his life, but when it came to the comforts of vacation spots, his cabin in the mountain range was a family heirloom he had recently been given to him by his father. He recalled stories about his father and Grandfather building the cabin in the mountain range to hide away from the government. Interestingly, the government still has no idea about the cabin and its ungovernable farmland.

Aaron woke from his nap only to see a gun pointed at his head. Aaron held his hands and said, “So, where’s Jessica?”

“She’s in the car waiting for me to shoot you.”

“Then I assume she feels cheated because I got the cabin?”

“NO SHIT, Sherlock, the will we saw clearly stated everything was supposed to go to her.”

“My dad knew Jessica was never faithful. That’s why he made that fake will and had her sign it.”

Jessica retorted, “All you had to do was hand the Cabin over to me, you little shit.”

Aaron looked over at her with the gun still to his head and said, “Jessica, I think you know as well as I do that this was more family oriented than what some daft cunt deserves, but by all means, kill me and take this home.”

Before Jessica’s new boy toy could shoot Aaron, Aaron kicked him in the balls, ripped the gun out of his hands, and shot before the guy could even beg for his life. Aaron got out of bed and watched Jessica with the gun pointing at her.

Jessica, pissed, said, “Kill me, but know this my father and his gang are waiting in the forest line for me. So, if you kill me, then you’ll have signed your death warrant.”

“You’re right! But, if I’m going to die, then I’d rather die fighting than die like a bitch.”

Aaron shot her in the head and watched as her blood and grey matter slowly trickled down the back of the log wall.

————————- Hours Later——————————

Aaron lay on his back with several bullet holes in his lower abdomen, and as he tried to show effort to reach his gun, an older man slowly walked over to his bloodied body. Aaron nearly had it in his hand, and the older man’s foot kicked it out of Aaron’s reach. The old man stepped on his hand and calmly asked, “So, what did you do? Aaron.”

“Oh, you know, something idiotic and ridiculous.”

“I bet you thought you’d get out of this one, didn’t you?”

Aaron went from a pained voice to a calm smile and responded, “Nope, I knew death was waiting for me. But I’d rather take all of you with me than die like a bitch.”

The older man, now confused and before he could react, saw Aaron pull out a button, and as he pushed it, Aaron set up the explosives under the cabin. Aaron, with a jolt, a surge of panic washed over him, igniting a primal instinct to survive as he felt the heat and adrenaline rush through his burned and destroyed body.

As he lay there, his mind a whirlwind of pride and joy, knowing he took the lives of those scumbags, who took what they wanted and killed whoever. Aaron felt at peace and had a moment of relief. He opened his eyes and, in a smoky white void, saw something moving through it. He saw the man he once loved and cared for walk up to him, and that’s when Aaron said, “I did it. Though I should have done it farther away than where I was.”

“Well, I admit it was a spectacular sight, but I agree with what you said earlier: you did something idiotic and ridiculous.”

“So, what happens now?” ,Aaron asked with a frown.

“You have two choices, Aaron: follow me and go into the afterlife, or walk your path and be something more than you are. Remember, it’s your choice.”

Aaron looked around, and that’s when he turned around and said, “You know I’m not one to follow when I have two perfect legs.” Aaron’s dad smiled, turned around, and walked away from Aaron, slowly fading into the white foggy void. Aaron walked in the opposite direction and looked around while walking. Aaron felt the ground give way, and that’s when he fell through a black hole and ended up a falling star.

———————-Equestria, Ponyville———————-

It was a quiet night in Twilight’s Tree Library. She was reading a book about the history of Griffins. That’s when Spike ran into the room and said, “Twilight! Twilight! You need to check this out!”

What now Spike? This better be something good, unlike when you thought I wouldn’t notice you selling some of the books in this library for crystals.”

Twilight walked out of the library and saw Spike pointing up at a star that started falling headings for Ponyville, only to land in the Ever-free Forest. Twilight immediately wrote a letter to Celestia and then told Spike to send it. When the star hit the ground in the forest, the explosion was loud, and the ground shook with the force of an earthquake. Twilight ran to the forest's edge where Flutter Shy and Pinkie Pie were.

Twilight asked, “Are you girls here to see what that star was too?”

“Hi, Twilight. Pinkie told me her Pinkie sense caught something interesting. So I wanted to see it for myself, and that’s when we saw the falling ...I think.”

“Why do you think Flutter Shy?”

Pinkie Pie interrupted and replied, “That’s because we were close enough to hear a noise from the meteor. Silly!”

“The falling star made a noise? What did it sound like?”

Pinkie and Flutter Shy thought about it, and then Pinkie said, “IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!”

“The falling star said “it”? That seems highly unlikely, Pinkie.”

Pinkie was about to retort when they heard a tree branch snap. The girls are startled and prepared in their fighting stances, which involve hiding behind Twilight.

——————— in the orbit of Equestria —————

Aaron, as he fell, watched as the height of his fall was either going to kill him or paralyze him for the rest of his life. The disembodied voice of his father entered his mind and said, “This won’t kill or paralyze you. But when you land, it will knock you out for a little bit.” Aaron listened, and that’s when the heat of breaking through the atmosphere happened until he was a ball of fire. Aaron was able to see the land rapidly approaching. His only thought was how much pain it was going to inflict. That’s when Aaron yelled, “OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH SSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHIT!” The explosion and crater made from the impact was considerable. Luckily and unlucky for Aaron, he landed in a swamp, so the effect was soft. But he was covered in mud, and the water from the impact was filling up the impacted area. Aaron is lying on the side of the crater, slowly fading in and out of consciousness.

——— Ponyville, outside the Ever-free Forest ———

Twilight used an illumination spell so she could see in the forest's darkness; Flutter Shy and Pinkie Pie closely followed as they reached a crater slowly filling with swamp water and a body covered in mud. The three girls cannot get a good look at the mud-covered body. Twilight, confused, looked at Flutter Shy and Pinkie Pie and asked, “So, either this is the falling star, or the falling star crashed right next to this unlucky anthro.”

Twilight tried to use her levitation spell on Aaron, but the magic spell started flickering out as if something otherworldly had arrived. Twilight, confused, tried harder, only to feel her magic fizzle out.

Twilight sighed in frustration and said, “Can you, girls, help me carry this thing out of the forest?”

“Sure thing, Twilight! But why can’t you use your magic?”

“Yeah, Twilight. What’s blocking your magic?”

As Pinkie Pie and Flutter Shy asked those questions, Twilight was about to answer, only to hear several anthros show up. She turned around and saw Apple Jack and Rainbow Dash asking, “What’s happening? What’s with that crater? What looks like a dead body in it?”

“Yeah, Twi, I have a lot of apple picking in the mornin’. Can ya give us some answers?”

Twilight waited for a second and then replied, “Well, I was reading no less than 10 minutes ago, and then Spike told me to check out the falling star, and then I showed up and saw Pinkie Pie and Flutter Shy on the outskirts of the Ever-free Forest, and then we entered the find the crater, and that’s when we saw this body in the crater. Then I tried to pick it up with my magic, and for some reason, it’s not working, and Pinkie, it’s not because I’m not working out my horn. So stop suggesting it.”

“Fair enough, I’ll stop bringing it up.”

Apple Jack and Rainbow Dash entered the crater and looked at the body, and that’s when Apple Jack noticed a weird noise coming from the body. She got closer to the mud-covered body of Aaron and realized he was sleeping. Apple Jack, in shock, asked, “Say Twi, you found this thing in the crater, right?”

”Ah, yeah, why do you ask?”

“Because this thing is still alive and sleepin'.”

Surprised, Twilight jumped into the crater, put her head close to his head, and heard breathing as if it was sleeping. Twilight looked at Apple Jack and said, “Quickly! Take him to the library to see if he’s ok.”

Apple Jack and Rainbow Dash heaved Aaron’s body in a two-person carry and headed to the library, and Twilight used her magic to see if anything else was in the crater. She looked around and found nothing in the crater; that’s when Pinkie Pie said, “Strange. It’s almost like this body came from the sky.”

Twilight quizzically replied, “You might have hit the nail on the head, Pinkie.”

Twilight, with the rest of her friends, headed back to the library only to see Apple Jack and Rainbow Dash by the front door and blushing redder than an apple. Twilight, confused, asked, “Why are you girls out here? We need to see this body and figure out what it is?”

“We figured he should have some privacy.”

“He?”

Rainbow Dash blushed, got more profound, and replied, “It seems he was having a good dream.” Twilight rolled her eyes and walked in and saw Aaron’s dick at full mast on the table and twitching. Twilight turned around, walked out the door, and said, “I see. Well, I’ll teleport... hang on!”

Twilight re-entered the library and noticed that the little clothes on the body had been burned. She left the library in deep thought and began wondering, “How did this thing survive the fall from the high, and how did it catch on fire?”

In a seductive voice, Pinkie says, “Getting a better look at that monster’s pole, I see!”

“Not even. I was taking a look at the burned clothes!”

“Yeah, right! We all believe you.”

Twilight’s blush grew more intense with the accusation of Pinkie Pie’s statement. “Look, I suggest we all just sleep tonight and return to this tomorrow. I’m going to need to bunk with someone tonight. So, Apple Jack, can I have a room with you by any chance?” Twilight trying to change the subject.

“I guess you can. But make sure you are careful. Granny Smith sleepwalks, and she sleeps in the nude.”

Twilight followed Apple Jack, listening. Pinkie Pie and Flutter Shy looked at one another and then at Rainbow Dash, who gestured to answer the question those two had been asking. Rainbow Dash gestured silently mouthing, “It was no shit this big and different from the usual anthro stallions.”

Pinkie Pie and Flutter Shy both peeked through the front door and saw the manhood Aaron was rocking, and it was still up like a light pole, showing signs of life. Flutter Shy and Pinkie Pie gasped quietly in surprise and then returned to their homes with the size of Aaron’s mast in full view of any who entered the library.

Flutter Shy returned, looking to see if her friends noticed her. She went into the library, moved Aaron’s body to the floor, and set him up sideways. Then, Flutter Shy stole Twilight’s blanket and covered him. The fact that she was trying her hardest not to look at his elephant trunk was a testament to her willpower and kindness. Flutter Shy was watching Aaron’s body and breathing bouncing while he slept. She was walking out the front door, and that’s when she heard a cough.

Flutter Shy turned around scared and saw Pinkie Pie with a smirking face. She said, “Just helping this thing with his sleeping position, huh!”

“N-no, it’s just I don’t want some Anthro entering the library and getting a face full of lollipops and jawbreakers, is all.”

Pinkie Pie asked, “Want to hang out at my place and talk about that monster? Rainbow Dash is grabbing her sleeping stuff and making it a sleepover out of it.”

“I’m fine if you don’t make me drink too much. I’d rather like to be somewhat sober in the morning.”

“Deal!”

——————Tree Library, Morning————————

Aaron, dizzy and just feeling like shit overall, was about to sit up only to hit his head on a table. When he hit it, the pain disappeared as fast as it started fading away like levels of uncontrollable, uncomfortable nerve activity.

With his eyes still closed, Aaron got up and used the blanket to cover himself. Not paying attention, he accidentally fell down the stairs into the basement. When he hit the bottom of the stairs, he lay there waiting for the pain to subside. Aaron, in frustration, said, “Sigh, guess this isn’t my home after all, and it wasn’t a dream.”

Now fully awake, Aaron got up, realizing he was naked underneath the blanket. That’s when he climbed the stairs back to the front room with many books on the shelves. Aaron saw a chair, sat down, and waited, only to get bored. Then, he pulled out a book from the shelf at random. Aaron sat back down and got to reading, only to realize he couldn’t understand a single character in the book. Aaron closed it and said, “Well, shit! I’m bored.”

A voice from upstairs replied, “What’s boring, and what does “shit” mean?”

Aaron looked up and saw a purple and green anthro dragon and said, “Either I’m high or not high enough. But, if you must know, I can’t read this language, and the word “shit” is a word that means poop, but in harsher wording.”

“Cool! So it’s like the word Buck then.”

“No, the word buck is more like a horse bucking and kicking. See, the word you mean to say is Fuck, with an F, not a B.”

“Spike, by the way.”

“Aaron.”

“Say that again? I think I heard you?”

“Aaron.”

“You mean Anon. As in shortly.”

Aaron, confused, retorted, “No, A-A-R-O-N. Aaron! That’s my name.”

“Right, A-N-O-N. Anon, that’s how it sounds.”
“Fuck it! I’m not too attached to a dead name anyway.”

Spike, confused, asked, “What do you mean dead name?”

“Well, Spike, that was the name I died with, and I am in some cool badass dragon world, I presume, and will be granted some sick kick-ass name by you.”

“Well, Anon, if I were to grant you a cool name, then I’d be like “blood nail or thorn” what do you think.”

“I like Blood Nail, but Thorn works better for simplicity and general sense.”

“Anon, I think I should tell you this place isn’t inhabited by dragon anthro’s. It’s inhabited by pony anthro’s. I work for one of them and live here.”

“That’s interesting. I never would have guessed that you work for a librarian.”

“Try a total nerd and a Bookworm.”

“I’M A WHAT SPIKE!”

“Would you look at the time? Got to go see you, Anon.”

Spike, in shock, ran away in a panic so as not to get scolded by Twilight, her mother figure/boss. Aaron turned his head and looked at Twilight as she walked in with her friends. Twilight sat down and was about to say something when Aaron said, “Thank you.”

“For what?”

“For covering me up, I’m hopeful some guys brought me here, but if not. Thank you for bringing me here and not leaving me in that forest. I hope you girls didn’t see something shameful, and thank you for covering me up with a blanket so nobody could walk in and see my naked body.”

“You can thank Rainbow Dash and Apple Jack for carrying you back here. Though I don’t know which covered you with a blanket.”

“It was me; it didn’t seem right just to leave him in a cold room with his-“

“Thank you! Flutter Shy, let’s not get into that, please!”

The majority of the girls were blushing and smiling seductively. Aaron was confused, thinking about it, and then it clicked. Aaron asked, “You girls saw my dick didn’t you?”

“I walked in, and it was hanging all out on the table. It was impressive how hard you were.”

Aaron sat there with a blank stare, and the red slowly came in, and that’s when he said, “So, is this like a pity party or just trying to get information out of me? Look, that’s how human genetics works, ok.”

“This is not a pity party. All we are saying is some of us caught sight of it and not judging-“

“I am, and I got to say you have first place in my list of those who’ve got the length and the girth, and trust me, I’ve seen them all.”

“Pinkie Pie, ENOUGH! Please, we are trying to have a serious discussion here.”

“Yeah, Pinkie, what’s wrong with you?” Aaron reiterated but made a specific hand gesture to get more questions about her rating later. Aaron got serious and asked, “So, your name is Twilight, then Pinkie Pie, Flutter Shy, and you are Apple Jack and Rainbow Dash, and you are?”

“I’m Rarity, darling, and I would like to say I wasn’t with the group when they found you. I was sleeping, you see.”

“Thank you for the honesty, uh, Rarity.”

“I’m a fashionista and would love to help make you new clothes; what’s your name?”

“Right! Spike called you Anon, right?”

Aaron sighed and said, “My name is Aaron, not Anon.”

“That’s what I just said, Anon.”

“Fuck this; yeah, it’s Anon or Thorn. I don’t care.”

“Can I call you Morning Wood!”

“You can if I’m drunk. Any other time, it’s a hard no.”

“Okie! Dokie!”

Aaron sat back in his chair and took a heavy breath in and out, and that’s when Apple Jack asked, “Are we bothering you, Sugar Cube?”

“No, just contemplating if I’m on drugs or in purgatory or some sick torture to tempt my body and soul into the moral ambiguity of temptation of the flesh.”

“What?”

“He’s saying we are all beautiful and that he's at a moral crossroads.”

“No, Flutter Shy, I’m positive he’s still adjusting to this new environment.”

Aaron replied, “Actually, Flutter Shy hit that spot on, honestly.” All the girls, now blushing and trying not to look his way, stood and sat in the library with awkward silence and side eyes.
