Equestria: Final Wars
Fluttershy.
Previous ChapterThe small dirt path had very few overgrown patches, although it had many paw and hoof prints and the occasional claw print from the town’s local drake.
Fluttershy kept her gaze at the ground in front of her as she silently walked in between the three former kaiju.
Mothra at her left, Caesar on her right and Battra on his right.
Soon a small cottage came into view. It was small, had multiple bird houses, a double one door, straw roofing and a little bridge with a small stream running under it.
"Here we are. Just let me get Angel... if that's alright with you all of course?" Fluttershy asked.
She nearly suffocated when Caesar put a paw on her shoulder. She looked up with dilated pupils and saw him giving a small smile.
"You need not ask young pegasus." He said. "We are your guests, you do as you see fit." He gently rapped the door and waited.
It opened and, all except Fluttershy, saw no one until they looked down.
A small white rabbit was glaring pure hell fire at the three former kaiju, which turned into cotton balls when he saw his owner leaning down to nuzzle him.
"Angel, were going to be having guests for a little while. If you could, could you help me set up the guest beds?" She asked smiling.
His beady eyes switched back to her and the kaiju before giving a sigh and salute.
"Please, wipe your hooves and... paws before you come in. if you don't mind that is...?"
Caesar gave a small laugh before wiping his paws on the small mat and entering.
The inside was painted a faint yellow; there was a small green couch, a small table, a bookcase in the back, a red rug with a golden leaf pattern stitched in and a bird house with a small ramp.
"You have a lovely home, Miss Fluttershy." Mothra said as she looked around.
The mare blushed and hid behind her mane.
"It is much better than the cave i had to sleep in for those thousands of years." He chuckled dryly.
"You slept in a cave for a thousand years!?" Fluttershy said. "That's horrible."
"It was more of a meditation." He sighed. "It was very disturbing when I awoke though. Rock flew everywhere." He smiled.
"Well... would any of you like some tea? I mean it is almost night, but tea does help calm the nerves." She said.
"That would be lovely. Thank you." Mothra said bowing.
As she left Angel came hopping back.
He stopped in front of the three former kaiju and glared.
"Hello small one. It is very nice to meet you." Mothra said extending a hoof. "My name is Mothra, and I already know you Angel."
He looked at her hoof before making multiple gestures. He put his paws around his mouth and moved them up and down before he raised them high and started to stomp in place, and ending with pointing a small white digit at them.
"You think of us as monsters?" Caesar said without emotion. "In a way you are correct."
Angel cocked his head to the side.
"We are considered to be monsters, but some of us mean no harm. We only mean to defend." He said. "You have nothing to fear about us hurting your care taker."
He continued glaring before giving a nod and saluting as he went to hop away.
"Alright, the tea is very hot so you should probably blow on it. If you want to that is…?" Fluttershy asked as she balanced a tray on her wings. "It's peach and cherry blossom." She said as she put it down on her small table.
Each of them took a cup. Mothra and Battra having slight trouble holding it, while Caesar had the advantage with his paws.
"Thank you for the tea. It was very lovely." Mothra bowed and gently put her cup back onto the tray.
"Yes, it was the only I had ever gotten the chance to taste." Caesar said as he placed his back onto the tray.
"It was... refreshing." Battra said.
"Was there something wrong with it?" Fluttersy asked worriedly.
"No, nothing was wrong. It is just that I am slightly hungry. I have not eaten when me and my sister fought alongside each other." She said.
"I could get a salad made if you like or some soup or-" Fluttershy was getting up before Battra silenced her.
"I feed on meat actually." Battra said in a matter of fact tone.
"Oh... ok. Would you like some fish?" She asked hiding behind her mane.
"You have fish here?" Mothra asked surprised.
"I have to. I take care of animal's that have to feed on meat, so I always have a fresh supply." She said. "Would you care for any?"
Mothra's face turned even whiter as she violently shook her head.
"I'll be right back. Angel could you show them to their beds please?" She asked the small rabbit who was watching from a bird house.
She went to go get the fish while Angel. Hopped down from his perch and pointed to a door in the back.
The three of them got up and proceeded through the door.
The room was small, yellow, had two windows, a closet and had three beds set up.
Caesar took the one on the floor while Mothra and Battra took the larger, plusher one.
"This is better than a cave." Caesar chuckled. "Much better."
"I do not mean to be rude, but I think I preferred my cocoon." Mothra said. "But this is nice too."
"It’s better than being trapped beneath the merciless ocean." Battra sighed.
Mothra draped a wing over her brother before giving a comfortable nuzzle.
"I hope I'm not interrupting... am I?" Fluttershy asked from the door way, in her mouth she was holding a small plastic bag.
Battra got up and stopped in front of her before taking the bag gently from her grasp and sticking his head in. Crunching and slurping sounds were made before he retracted it and crumpled the bag up.
She picked up he bag, said a quick 'Goodnight.' To them and left.
Mothra blew out a candle and laid her head down over her brother’s neck. Caesar was snoring slightly as he lay on the floor.
"Wow, he needs a humidifier for that." Pinkie said before taking a picture. She looked at it confused and looked back to the bed.
Two large, red eyes were narrowed at her. Piercing through her baby blues through the darkness.
She giggled nervously before jumping out the window.
