Grass

Grass followed the general direction of the mare he saved, and who also slapped him.

Acquired skill: stalker +1

" Hmmm...." Grass pouts.

He'd eventually find running water, which he jumped for joy as he was quite thirsty and sick of the insect juice he kept drinking. " Yes! Water! Water!!!" He leaped head first and swam. Washing off some of the stench and insect juice from his armor. He drank the water and it refreshed him, didn't care if it was edible or not, since his resistance to poison was high, the taste was even devine to him, compared to what he usually drink.

" So does this mean im near a village then?, if theres water, then there's definitely a village near it. Perhaps the mare was actually leading me towards her village? How noble of her!" He stopped playing around and had his fill of water and began following it down stream, meanwhile....

____________

The mare was able to reach her village, which was down stream of the river.

News of her adventure spread, as there was a knew species of ant eater ant, that was much dangerous than its variant.

Not only that but the village's river became poisonous, an ill omen that the mare brought to them.

" A curse was set upon by the mare! You shouldn't have returned!"

"She doomed us all!"

" No I didn't! Mom, dad. I'd never-"

Slap!

An elderly pony would slap her by the cheek.

" Enough blasphemy from you! You must be banished from our village and never to return!"

But then the elder would be disturbed by one of the guards.

" The creature has appeared! The creature has appeared!"

" Look what you've done! It followed you. What more proof do you want? This child has cursed us. Banishing you would be a mistake. We should offer you to the creature instead!"

"Grab her!"

Meanwhile, Grass was surrounded by earth ponies with spears. Their dressed up with cheap makeshift armors made of wood.

" Wow wow! What's with the hostility? I'm also an earth pony, look?" He removed his helmet and revealed his face.

The others would still not believe him and would not let up their guard. " Do not be fooled brothers! This creature is trying to trick us! What pony could single handedly defeat Venus flytrap ant lion?"

Everyone was scared of him and continued to point their spears.

Eventually one would try to give a cheap shot at his back but he was able to dodge it and grab the spear.

" Hey! What do you think you're doing! You could hurt someone with that!"

" Kyaaa! It got my spear!" The guard overreacted.

" Jeeze! Calm down, stallion, you're embarrassing yourself." He reacted.

The others either began running away or double down and attacked. He was able to dodge 2 or 3 strikes but some would hit him and his armor.

Some spear would break and some would pierce his skin. " Gaa! Why!?"

The others would be shocked as the beast still stood. " M-Monster!"

" Run!!"

" Hide your wives! Hide your kids!"

Now everyone ran back inside the wooden gates and hid behind it, hoping that the beast would leave them alone.

" Ouch that hurts!" He yanked the spears that got stuck to his body and quickly regenerated, leaving no injuries.

" Look we didn't even damage the beast!" One pony screamed at the top of the walls.

" Now that you mentioned it..." The stallion finally noticed how abnormal his body have become. " It doesn't hurt anymore..."

Then an elderly stallion would rise above the gates. " Beast! We offer you a sacrifice, the mare you have been chasing! In exchange of this villages safety!"

The gates opened and there, an injured pony limps towards him. It was the mare he saved.

" What did you do to her!?" He quickly went towards her but the mare was scared of him. "Please spare my village!"

"The creature is not satisfied! Bring more!" The elder shouted.

" No! No! No more! This is enough! I'll leave you alone!"

these ponies are mad!? I think it's best that i leave them alone, i think they'd be more trouble than help... But what about her? Should i leave her here? To beat someone like this is just wrong.

" Come with me then." He approached the mare with her hooves.

Its unknown if the mare was too tired because of her battered body or perhaps was too scared of him that she fainted.

Grass had no choice but to carry her.
should i really be bringing her with me? I mean she was abandoned by those crazy ponies. Leaving her with them who knows what they'll do to her...

He'd begin marching off and away from the village.

Luckily there was a path he can follow, and at the distance the forest became less thick.

surely at the end of this road, there's another village there waiting for me and hopefully not try and attack me.

Grass remained positive and trotted forward not knowing what adventure awaits him and her new companion who he probably ended up horsenapping.

"We are saved!"

" The creature has left!"

"Praise the elder!"

Everyone from that cooky village began cheering as they saw the creature left.

" Please please, i did this for the village." The elder bragged

" The celebration can wait though as we must report this immediately to the neighboring countries and village! A new breed of monster should always be recorded and informed to the capital! Quickly! Send out the rat pigeons!"

But before they could release the pigeons, a giant Elephant toad hopped and crushed the walls where the elder stood.

Slam!

Everyone there was shocked to see the elder crushed, and how flimsy their walls were.

The village was attacked and in a panic, it only lasted a minute before it got completely flattened.
