Scourging of Equestria

Hey guys I'm sorry about the wait. 4 weeks... holy shit im sorry for letting you guys down :(((( Time has never really been my friend, so it's been slow. Also, as a side note I once knew where I was going to take this story, but now I have no idea. Let's just go shall we :D

   I spun the Apple around in my hands, glorifying its brilliance with the suns reflection. The dirt path I've been walking on for the past few hours, is pretty lonely. I walked through some kind of forest, where I swear I heard a bear or something. Nothing I couldn't handle of course. I declined the giant pony's offer to be flown there, mainly because I don't like heights. I prefer to stay on solid ground, thanks. I quickly put the Apple back into the biggest of my satchels, since I was approaching my destination. I walked over the hills, getting ever so closer to the large buildings ahead. I was expecting some sort of city since Canterlot was pretty large itself, but my expectations were not quite met.

Appearing from the forest, I gazed upon the green pastures set between me and the village. These were perhaps the most beautiful blades of grass I have ever sat eyes on. As it would so happen, when someone is enjoying something...Something always happens to ruin it.

"Ah! Excuse me! Mr. Human, sir!" A voice rang from behind me. Girls voice, definitely a girl.

I turned around and to my surprise, or not really; another pony. A mare, purple or lavender colored, and a unicorn.

"Yes? Is there something you need, pony?" She didn't take that last part too well. I didn't want to sound mean, but i've always been socially awkward anyways.

"Hmmhp! I have a name you know..." She stood as tall as her hooves would push her, keeping her back straight. Either way, shes still puny compared to me.

"My name is Twilight Sparkle, Element of Magic. Personal student of the Princess herself!" She made sure I understood her position with the Princess, and trust me I did.

"Nice to meet you, Twilight. However, I still do not understand what you want from me. I'm on business with Celestia, so if you would please excuse me..."

"Now you hold on right there mister!" She said, while poking me a couple times.

"The Princess has asked me to help you on your job of collecting information. Obviously, you will need a place to stay so I have offered this for you. I will not accept declines, after all you owe me."

"I owe you? What do I owe you?"

"D-Don't worry about it! Now come on, I need you to do something for me."

I was pretty confused, but decided to ignore it and followed her. She led me to the town square, before stopping. This had to be the tallest building in the village. It took a few seconds before the thought actually reached my head. Well, it wasn't much of a thought if it goes out loud.

"Why am I here exactly?"

"I need you to get something for me. You see I left this book inside the town hall, but I don't want to go back inside to get it. It's just too embarrassing, please you have to help me!" I flinched, mouth agape.

"You dragged me all the way over here just to retrieve a book you can't get yourself because you're too shy!?" I was near screaming at this point. I don't have time for games!

"Fine I'll do it."

Twilight stood outside watching as the human figure entered the hall. She heard a mix of gasps and screams, but she knew why. What she didn't know was the sound of glass breaking, and the mayor screaming "MONSTER!!!" at the top of her lungs. Minutes later, the clothed figure walked out with spots of blood and rips in his clothes. Twilight gasped at the sight. The human came over to her, dropping the book next to her. He didn't look happy to say the least.

"Twilight. I don't have time for games. I need to find information, and fast. If you're not going to help me, then go bother someone else. Lives are at stake, and I don't intend on wasting them."

With that said, he went onward down the path leading to downtown Ponyville, leaving a frozen Twilight Sparkle in place unable to speak.

Authors note: Short chapter yes, but this idiot has published like 4 stories, and it trying to complete them all. I love this story immensely, so I'll try and update it more often. I know this one isn't even 1k words, but I have a date in an hour so wish me luck!
