A New Hero In Equestria.
Thats one hell of a story
Previous ChapterNext ChapterPonyville Castle guest bedroom.
Rex slowly opened his eyes after a very uncomfortable dream. He doesn't quite remember what the dream was but it felt strange. It was if his mind was changing and becoming less random. He would have to ponder about this later as pain shot up his chest.
He reach to his chest as his vision started to clear. He saw he was no longer in a cave but rather a nice room. The walls were crystal like with a wooden finish along the ground. All though everything was a hue of blue,pink,and purple for the most part. He was in a rather comfortable bed which was far softer then the caves floor. He pulled a sheet off of him and saw his wound body covered with bandages. His leg also seem to be shackled to the bed. This made him uneasy as he pulled his legs back. The chains didn't seem to budge.
In fact getting closer he noticed the chain an shackle was made of something transparent. Like a purple light had taken solid form. He felt himself take a gulp as he looked down. On the ground near his bed his sword laid flat. For some reason who ever shackled him didn't think to take his weapon. Either they were really dumb or they may just wanna talk. He wasn't an optimistic person so his mosney was on dumb. Still at the moment it hurt far to much to bend for his blade.
Then he heard the door open. The creaking noise drawing his attention. In came seven small creatures. One appeared similar to the dragons he fought before only smaller. He assumed it was a young one. The drake was purple with green spikes along its back. Two emrald eyes were focused on his companions.
The other in the group greatly confused him. They appeared to be small horse like creatures. Or ponies. The one in front had purple hair with a pink strip. Her coat was a lighter shade of lavender. A single horn protruded from her head. Rex could only assume this was some sort of unicorn. Something he never thought he would think much less see. Next to her was a another pony only pink. A Very very pink bouncing pony.
Her mane was a crazy looking poofy and almost resembleing cotten candy. He swore he saw bits of confeti in her hair. Behind her a timid looking one with a pink sliky mane an yellow coat walked behind her. He couldn't see well with the jumping pony in the way but he swore she had wings. Above them flew in a bored looking blue pony with wings her mane and tail a brilliant rainbow. Suddenly he really wanted some skittles. Two more ponies came into the room last. One a with a coat white as snow with her purple mane styled.
The white pony also wore abit of make up he assumed. The last one was an orange pony. She was slightly taller then the rest with blonde hair and a cowboy hat. Rex would bet money she spoke with an accent. The ponies seemed occupied at the momment the purple one speaking.
"Ok girls I know it been a week but we have to keep checking him untill...he...uh." at this point they finally saw him staring right at them. For a moment everyone just stared at each other. No one dared breathe at this momment. However slowly the silence became unbearable. So rex broke it.
"What the hell? Ponies? Did I did an go into a weird ass afterlife? Because I was promised a flaming pit."
The ponies with the exception of the purple one all took a step back. The yellow pegasus cowering behind the orange one. Their faces all had various looks of aw,fear,and confusion. He guessed they never seen a human before. Very unlucky for them he'd be the first."So are you gonna say something or stand there like a dear in headlights?"
This comment only made them more confused or disgusted. Only then did twilight approach seemingly unafraid. She knew humans well enough so this one shouldn't be an issue. " My name is Twilight Sparkle. These are my freinds Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rainbow dash ,Rairty and Applejack. The dragon is my personal assistant Spike." As she spoke she gestured to each freind. Rex simple raised an eyebrow.
"Ok weird ass names aside were the fucking hell am I? Also why am I shackled!" His less then freindly response didn't sit we with any of them. Rairty gasped with fluttershy starting to cry. He did feel bad about that to a degree since something about her felt like he yelled at a puppy. But he was to pissed off to care. Rainbow dash flew right up to him her noise inches from him.
"Hey no body yell at my freinds! Your lucky twilight saved your sorry ass!" He grunted at the ponys words. Still he supposed she had a point. Someone had to have dragged him here.
"Ok fair enough. Well as much as I appreciate that I still have no clue where I am. " he then proceed to flick the pegasus on her noise. The mare suprised flew back an inch confused. But her anger quickly raised once more. Luckily twilight pulled her away.
The purple mare took charge speaking once more. The human seemed to be a rather rude one but for her sake she needed to work with him. "Your in Equestria. A land full of ponies dragons and others creatures you would believe to be fiction. Im sorry I shackled you but after what happened in the dragonland I needed to keep you from running around scaring ponies."
He slowly nodded. Judging by how they reacted before its clear no humans existed here."Allright I'll bite why the fucking hell am I here?" When he asked she pointed to the blade. It shined in the light as he felt a need to pick it up. He bent over despite the pain an grabbed his weapon. Some of the ponies flinched by twilight held out a hoof. She knew what she was doing.
"Its a long story human. But that blade was sent to find a champion. It picked you. If you'll follow me I'll explain more." Her horn glowed a momment before the chains disappeared. Rex quickly stood his expression mostly emtpy but with a grimace. He followed her as she walked away her freinds flanking him. "Dont worry human I'll try to explain quickly. The scroll is in the next room."
True to her statement a scrool was indeed in the next area however the room was quite large. Six seats surrounded a large table on which stood an ancient scroll. Twilight horn glowed again as the arua lifted the ancient text. She began to read aloud to the group.
"Thousands of years ago long before these lands had a name there were the elements. The ones of harmony and the ones of choas. Ponies for the most part followed the magic of order an harmony taught by the alicorns, while choas magic was taught by the world itself. For eons There was a delicate balance the two magics rare ever interacting. That was untill the first war."
The room grew tense as she spoke.
"While little is know of the first war in our history we know two events for sure. We know that the first war happened because of two lovers. A young mare who was leader of her people and unknown stallion. Legends say the stallion simply appeared one day from the forest. However she was a unicorn while her lover was an earth pony. Her father was so furious that he struck the stallion exileing from the lands. The second event is that from his blood an entity was born. The hatred caused by this action allowed chaos magic to create a being of rage and hatred. Whos very presence caused conflict."
A cold chill ran down Rex's spine. The sword his his hand seemed to grow heavy as she spoke. The room grew darker as she continued her spell.
"The entity fueled the fathers hated causing him to declare war on his neighbor. As the rage spread all around them the stallion hiding in the forest sensed the entity. He called apon his love in secret and together they combined the harmonic magic of order with the powers of choas to form a blade. This blade was unlike any forged before as it could harness the magic around it from the natural world. Most importantly the blade could choose who could weild it allowing it to pick from those who could resist the entity."
The blade shined brightly in his hand despite that it lacked a proper Light source. The flask briefly illuminated the ponies drawing the attention of everyone except twilight. The stared in awe of the blade.
"The mare was the first and the last To wield the blade. In her fight she stood with her stallion and a small group of freinds against what they called Anguish. Together with the blade they sealed Anguish away in another plane of existence. But the battle costed the mare her life." Twilight gulped down a breath.
Even now she started to feel uneasy. "This next part was given to me by princess celestia. Its a part only she knew." She opened the scrool abit further to show the rest of the writing.
"The stallion heart broken over the loss took the blade. He embedded deep within a cavern to ensure none would be foolish enough to take the weapon. But he knew Anguish wasnt truely destroyed. One day it would return and it would destroy everything in our world for revenge. He entrusted the alicorns with this secret and told them how to activate the sword. When the sort was once again imbued with raw magic it would seek a hero. One who could finally destroy Anguish and save us all. He warned the alicorns what to look for. Evil eyes would appear in the swords shadow when it returned. Then he disappeared back into the forest never to be seen again."
Everyone took a breath as twilight folded the parchment. The the lights turned back on thanks to a clap from Pinkie Pie. Everyone started to settle as rex sighed. "That one hell of a story but its a little farfetched." Twilight gave the man a raised brow."Don't get me wrong I'm willing to admit magics a thing. Im literally surrounded by talking ponies so that screw allready fell out. But I'm no hero im just some asshole who touched a floaty sword! Im not doing this send me home!"
Twilight gulped down another breath of air as a drop of sweat went down her face. "Uh I can't send you home. The sword brought you here only it can send you home." Twilight took a step back as fury enter the face of the human. Vains visiblely showing across his face. The girls quickly moved to her side ready to defend her.
Rex of course was fuming. It was just his luck to get stuck in another world with no way home. Right now he wanted to blow up. To just let his anger out on whoever was closest. He looked down to the ponies his fist balled. But he saw the the fear on their faces. With the exception of applejack an Rainbow dash they all look somewhat afraid. He supposed as strange as they were to him he probably looked terrying at the moment. He was a stange creature armed with a weapon.
His anger left his face as his fist unballed itself. There wasn't really a point in taking his anger out on them."Fine." He stated bluntly to the confused girls. Dash spoke up "uh fine what?"
He brought his free hand to the bridge on his noise. He was just really tired at this point."I mean fine as in ill play along with this hero shit. At least untill I find a way to go. So whats first?" Twilight nodded in response as her freinds spread out.
"Well first we should know your name. You haven't really introduced yourself." She walked forward and extended to him a hoof. He just turned away rudely. "Names Rex. Not here to be freindly I just wanna get home."
Twilight sighed.
They were gonna have to get used to each other.
