Scourging of Equestria

Authors note: Tired of italing everything, so dialog will be the same text. I see most stories do that anyway, so no biggie right? Also, sorry for the long update between chapters. I’ve been having a lot of family problems. So it’s been slow. Expect more chapters very soon though.

Sequence 2

Fluttershy and I started on the cold, stone path towards what seemed like civilization. In the distance I could see a small town, with many multicolored houses. We exited the forest, and made our way down the path to the village.

“Beautiful..” I whispered to myself under my breath. She took hint.

“It sure is; Equestria is a wonderful place. I’m sure you will love it.” She said with a smile, but faintly fading back into a content look.

I looked off into the distance. “Theres something you want to say. You can ask me.”

Well.. as long he doesn’t mind… “Why do you wear that cloak over your head? Does your face get cold, I can’t blame you… It is pretty chilly this time of year.”

I chuckled, and gave her a simple answer. “It’s by order of the brotherhood. The cloak is a symbol of Anonious, or Anonymous. Our people are trained to blend in with the crowd. Not to be seen, or Identified. To be… unknown to the world, and have no social contact with it.”

She gave me a confused look. “Your… people?”

I can’t tell her what I am. She might freak, and get scared.

I didn’t say anything. She caught my drift, that I didn’t want to talk about it, and quickly changed the subject.

“We should stop at Pinkies first. She is a splendid mare, and will love to meet you.

“Sounds good.”

…

We approached the town slowly, and there was dozens of ponies trotting around. This had to be one of the most awkward moments in my life. Everyone all at once; as if in a perfect sync, stopped what they were doing to see the odd creature, walking through the town center. I could hear silent whispers coming from other ponies. “What the hell is that thing?” asked one of young colts. “I don’t know, I hope it doesn’t plan on eating us.”

That made me jerk with laughter; not aloud, but silently. I sure haven’t eaten anything in a while. And steak sounds pretty good to me at the moment. Seeing as how that’s obviously not an option, I continued to follow fluttershy down the street, and into the shop on the right.

Fluttershy quietly said aloud. “Pinky, uhm… I’m here for the order… I’d like to have it, that’s if its ok with you of course.”

A pink flash of air passed me, so fast it was hard for me to even notice.

“Of course you silly willy, youshouldreallystopbeingsoshytomeimeanarentwefriends-“

She kept on talking. I couldn’t even keep up. What fuels this mare? How can there be so much energy stuffed into one thing? She was a small, pink, puffy mare. Her mane was crazy. It was all puffy and curly; obviously explaining her personality. She hadn’t noticed me yet, and I don’t really like the crazy ones so I decided I was going to sneak out.

Bad idea.

“Thanks Pinkie, but I’m here for other reasons as well.”

OH GOD NO

“I have a friend here that would like to meet you. He’s NEEEEW in town.”

Why did she say new like that? What was that supposed to mean. In defeat I turned around with a grin on my face, when suddenly the pink mare was stuffed in my face. She let out a long gasp, and ran out the front door, leaving me and fluttershy speechless.

“What… just happened exactly?”

Fluttershy giggled, and grabbed my hand gently and led me out the door. “Don’t worry about it.. Pinkie is being Pinkie.”

I’m not sure… “Are you sure I didn’t hurt her feelings or anything? Or scare her? I doubt she has ever seen a human before..”

She put on a small grin, and looked at me. “You’ll see.”

I’ll see? Wait…What? That didn’t even answer my question. What is with the pe-ponies in this town? Whatever, I’m sure it will be best for me to get that crazy mare out of my head. She drives me to complete insanity.

We were in complete silence down the path.

I got used to all the ponies staring at me and only focused on the road ahead of me. I can’t stand the awkward feeling anymore, so I decided to break it.

“So… would you mind telling me where I am?”

She yipped in surprise of my outburst, but calmed.

“Your in a country called Equestria. A land ruled by the 3 major races, Ponies, Gryphons, and Zebra. The ruler of this country is Princess Celestia, and her sister Luna. They are both Alicorns, an extinct race that was said to rule the universe since the beginning.” She laughed. “I never really paid that much attention in school, especially around history. So I don’t know that much. You should ask my friend Twilight. She is a genius, and a bit of a bookworm. She is the town librarian, and the Arch-Mage.”

“I don’t know where we are going but, I would sure like to go see her. I want to know more about this place.” I said with an intrigued look on my face.

Fluttershy laughed. “No need, we are already here.”

I looked up, and saw that we were. A huge oak tree with windows on the side, and a door in the front. The tree was massive, looking to be hundreds of years old. I look upon the tree with pure awe. It was anything I have ever seen before.

“uhmm..hello? HELLO!?”

I snapped out of my trance, to see fluttershy giggling at me. I cleared my throat.

“Sorry, It’s just a site to behold. Anyways, this is where the brain of the town lives? Great, I can’t wait to find out where the hell I am. Come on Fluttershy lets go. I can’t wait to meet your new friend.”

With determination in my heart, I decide to barge right in to find this “Arch-Mage” and learn as much as I can. But… nobody is here. The library is empty. I couldn’t sense a soul in the place. I turned around to see a crying Fluttershy, whimpering as she softly said “I’m so sorry Isan…”

“Sorry? Sorry for wha-“

I felt a sharp pain on the top of my head, and before I knew it, I was drifting off to sleep.
