Above all elseby Someone_elseChaptersNew BeginningsNot at homeValuable info and a hard decisionAn unexpected eventNew Beginnings"Nave wake up!" I groaned then faced away from the direction of the sound "NAVE!" I slowly slumped up from my slumber and tried to let the light go into my eyes. That didn't work to well, the suns rays were to much for my eyes that had just been opened. I quickly hissed at the light and faced away. My mentors face quickly came into to view, he was like the father I never had or a mother for a matter of fact. "Well good to see your in a nice mood today," he said this in a sarcastic like tone. "Haha," I said in an equally sarcastic, yet mocking tone. "You know this is an important day" I gave him a confused look. He returned my look with one that told me 'Did you seriously forget?' "Its your birthday today!," he shouted this at the top of his lungs and I was quite surprised, so much that I had moved back a bit and fell off my bed. He laughed a bit then helped me to my feet. "Get your clothes on boy we're going somewhere." "where?" "Didn't I tell you? Somewhere!" "Oh haha" " yes that was quite humorous wasn't it?" I groaned as I started to put on my normal clothes. I already knew this was going to be a long day packed with my mentors stupid humor and some surprising new things. A little while later I had gotten up, ate some leftover bread from yesterday note to self get some more bread, and had started for the door. My mentor then came around the corner carrying a long, thin box. "wait just a second Nave," he then waved me over to the table i just ate on. It wasn't just a normal box, actually it wasn't a box at all just a long rod of some sort wrapped in what appeared to be cloth. "As you know i'm a friend of the Dwarves that live in the lonely mountain, correct?" "yes, but what does th-" He cut me off and then spoke "Good, then you will understand how i obtained these," he said this while gesturing to the wrapped rod that was now glowing brightly. "I want you to have this," he handed me the cloth bag with a big smile on his face. I gave him a slightly worried, yet happy look when i took the bag. I had never seen him so happy before this was quite a surprise in it self! I looked at the bag, then at him, then back at the bag. I untied the ends of the bag then started to work my way through the cloth and then saw a spear tip. No wait, two spear tips! i quickly opened the bag and saw it. Two wonderfully crafted weapons of war. One a spear made of a bright shiny metal, and a javelin (basically the same thing just lighter so you can throw it) made of the same shiny material. I then proceeded to ask him,"what is the material used for these?" He gestured for me to come closer to him, "Mithril." He said this silently so no one could hear him. I then looked at him with big beady eyes and yelled "MITHRIL?!" He put his hand over my mouth quickly and put his finger over his mouth to signal for me to shut it. I then processed what I had done knowing I probably wasn't supposed to do that. Mithril was a great and powerful substance used for making only the finest of armor, never had it been made into a weapon. It could be beaten like copper, and polished like glass;and the Dwarves could make of it a metal, light and yet harder than tempered steel. Its beauty was like to that of common silver, but the beauty of mithril did not tarnish or grow dim. "well now that that's done lets go and explore the town shall we?" I started to move but was stopped when my mentor spoke. "Oh but before we go, I would hide those weapons of yours. nothing is more valuable than mithril," I took the hint and then quickly hid them strategically inside of another room and set it down. Only you run into a unforeseen problem, they glowed. I then had to put them under the covers of my bed. I placed them there only to see it still glowed under the sheets. I then placed 3 more sheets over them before it wasn't noticeable anymore. Well besides the four sheets of cloth and blanket it wasn't noticeable. I then ran to the door to see my mentor waiting at the door leading out of the house. City of Dale We walked outside to see the entire town already hard at work even if it was only 7:00, by my calculations. We could see the entire town and also the great Dwarven kingdom inside the mountain, for the doors that lead to the great city was massive in size. We went to a couple of markets for food and such items Got my breadand then started for home. We had started to walk up onto the door step of our house when we heard the most death deifying screech. We quickly threw the food inside the house and went to see where the horrible scream was coming from. We looked across the city and didn't see anything, this is when we then looked up into the sky only to see a horrid sight. a dragon. and not just any old dragon, a giant fire drake. We saw him and only to our avail see him make a B-line for our town. Our town wasn't big but was still large enough to attract attention to the great dragon. The archers started to release arrows from their bows and the horn callers blew heavily on the great horns of wood signaling to be prepared for the onslaught that was soon to come. The dragon got within range and breathed fire everywhere leaving a giant line through the city. My mentor was a renowned warrior in our town and was soon dashing to one of the guard outposts. I heard him yell "get outside the town quickly, but don't be noticed by the dragon!" I looked over to see the plains everywhere, no hiding places anywhere. thanks for the advice i thought sarcastically in my brain. I ran inside and quickly found my spear and javelin. They were know glowing so bright that i could barely look at them. I grabbed my old leather holster for the two weapons, sheathed them, then grabbed my old shield. The shield too was made out of mithril making it entirely weightless basically, I then started for the door only to then almost get burned by the dragons fire. He had scorched up the entire house and it was quickly engulfing the entire place, I couldn't go out the back because we didn't have one. My mentor thought it would be a brilliant idea to live in a house near the stone wall of the city so in case someone broke in the only option of escape was the door. (the windows were too small for someone to fit in) I wasn't frightened, but now I knew there was no way of escape. My mentor always told me you should die honorably, well I don't know about the honorable part but I knew I was going to die. I then pleaded for someone to help me, the fact I knew I was going to die quickly frightened me. I pleaded for aid but no one came I then went to the corner of my room waiting for the end. After about three minutes of watching the flames engulf my home I knew no one could possibly help me. I saw the flames get closer and closer spreading around the walls of my room. The flames heat was scorching my face as I waited for my end. I saw the flames spread around me, closer, and closer, and closer, I closed my eyes waiting for death. I heard a big sound then felt as though I was falling. I didn't feel the heat, nor did I hear the sounds of anything. I opened my eyes to see I was laying down on the ground of a forest. I had no idea what had happened, at first i though there was some kind of explosion that saved me and that I landed in the plains that watched over Dale. I knew one thing when I got up I was alive and that was all that mattered. I then heard a rustle in a nearby bush I saw the silhouette of the figure I couldn't make out what it was. I then instantly felt hungry, hungry for meat. I got my javelin ready to hurl. I positioned myself into a throwing stance and then launched my javelin toward the target.The figure heard the whistle of my javelin and looked up. I saw the figure had a horn of some sort thinking it was a deer. This deer was different though it wasn't a deer at all in fact. It was a unicorn it used its magic to stop my hurling thorn in mid-air. It then looked at me and I saw the figures eyes glisten in the sunlight. It gave me a frightened stare and then quickly ran off into another direction. I went to pick up my javelin then went and sat at a nearby tree base. I sat there for a couple minutes before I saw the figure again. I then tried my luck for a second time thinking I could catch it off guard this time. Well this time I saw five other pairs of eyes some with and without horns. They then came running towards me at a quick speed I saw the fastest one, a cyan colored pegasus, flying towards me and man they didn't look happy to see me. I got my spear and shield out and held my ground waiting the oncoming assault of the multicolored ponies. Not at homeThe first one I saw coming at me were two different colored, one was a cyan horse like creature with wings, the other one was a orange colored with a hat on. The cyan one was obviously the faster one as it came lunging at me with a fist - er hoof raised. It hit my shield making a satisfying metallic clank as the horse hit the ground. Upon further inspection it looked to small to be a horse, it was pony sized. Pony it is then I quickly gathered what wits I had left and ran to a bush that was nearby, well considering they were everywhere. The orange pony didn't take its eyes off me as it then jumped into the bush with me. I made a hustle to get out before it could get me, but I was to slow for the pony. It grabbed my leg so I then began to pull the pony on my ankle with me. I knew what it was doing it was trying to make me tried by pulling the weight around. I quickly made a small slash against her hoof and she recoiled back holding the hoof I had just made a big gash in. The cyan one was getting up again although the orange one looked about done for. The cyan one looked at what I had did to the orange one, then quickly gave me a death glare. What it did next shocked me so much I just stood there like an dumbfounded. "YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR THAT YOU FREAK!," it said this in a rather high tone. Probably female While I was lost in my thoughts she quickly got on her hoofs again and made a mad dash to me. Her wing looked broken in some parts near the edges. How did she break her wing? She hit me with her hoof... Still in my thoughts she slugged me right in the face making my teeth clinch together and making me stumble backwards and fall to the ground. She looked satisfied with her work as she shot me a hooked smile. Oh now you're going to pay I dragged my body upwards reclaiming my shield and spear, javelin in its leathery holster still. "How are you still standing?! I socked you right in the face!," she looked terrified, knowing I just took a punch to the face and was only left with a couple brain cells gone and a banged up face. "Well you see in my world im somewhat a sturdy guy." I started to walk towards her with a devilish as I was lifted up by a purple aura. "You can stay there for all your worth," the lavender one said in a professional, yet mad tone. "I'll also be taking these," she then took my weapons out of my hands and leather holster. Now im not sure why, but something inside clicked and made me extremely mad knowing she was taking away my only connection I had left with my home, well whats left of it. I felt something deep inside me come alive and awaken, a force that made me want to kill, destroy, demolish. My irises then started to contract from my oceanic blue eyes and turn them into a shade of red that looked like blood, I also started to scowl at the ponies laid out in front of me. I started to go on a rampage grunting and yelling trying to remove me from my purple prison. The lavender one looked frightened at first, but then started to regain her stature again. "There's no way you're going to break free from my magic," she said this in a very confident tone. "Yeah we'll see about that." I then started to flex my muscles and start to move the energy in my body into my arms. I felt the energy surge from my chest to my arms and then proceeded to push outward. I could feel the magic starting to get weaker I as pushed even harder to break free. With one last push I broke free from the aura and landed on the ground feet first. "ho-how did y-you?" I then glared at them with my blood red eyes and they quickly backed off. The lavender pony dropped my weapons and I then went to retrieve them. I was walking to my weapons laying in front of me, when I got to them I started to pick them up. The energy inside me then dissipated and I collapsed on the forest floor. The ponies quickly ran to me and restrained me. The world was turning black as I started to hear the lavender one say faintly. "We... need... get... to... Princess.... Celestia..." And with that I closed my eyes and let the world go dark around me. Valuable info and a hard decisionWhen I woke up from my somewhat pleasant slumber I was in a room with stained glass windows and a giant throne at the end of the hall, weapons still on me. You know being the only human here you'd thing they would have you strapped down a table ready to cut you open I took a double take on the room and found that on the other end there were 2 giant doors that looked at least 12 feet tall in comparison to me. While I was still looking left and right and up and down I didn't notice the giant white pony come from the other end I was looking at. I heard the shoes or whatever it was wearing and turned around quickly to identify the noise. What I saw was a giant pony that had a horn AND wings on it, also some fancy get up like golden shoes and a tiara placed on her flowing mane. She then spoke in a motherly voice that was pleasant to hear. Another female "So you're the one that has been causing trouble lately," she said this in a tone of comfort and not anger like I thought she would. I was confused and asked her,"you're not angry with me?" "Why no, why? Should I be?" "Well no it's just that being the only creature here on this planet I just thought you would be trying to kill me right now." She chuckled at my statement and continued to speak,"It is true you're the only one of your kind here, but we won't harm you." "What do you mean by, we?" And with that six other ponies came into the room. Oh shit.... What I saw were the same ponies from earlier that tried to kill me, but this time 3 new ponies that I hadn't noticed before were there too. One Pink with a pink mane, another one was white with a rather stylish purple name, the last one was undeniable shy with a coat of yellow and pink mane. The two ponies I had banged up before had casts on the areas that I had damaged. The cyan one had a cast on her wing and also on her hoof that she so recklessly punched my shield with. The orange one had a bunch of gauze on her left front hoof that I had sliced open. The white one spoke again,"I believe you owe them an apology for your acts towards them." "like hell I will! They attacked me!" "Yes, but was it not you who attacked my student first?" Student? I remembered about throwing my javelin at the purple one for means of food. I mentally face palmed myself and then stood there looking at the ground trying to avoid there gaze. "Im sorry..." The purple one spoke up. " what was that?" She was enjoying this so much "Im sorry..." "Still can't hear you." She now put up a hoof to her ears indicating I wasn't loud enough for her. "IM SORRY" They looked phased at first, but then looked at me knowing they had won. The white one spoke yet again. "Well now that that's settled I would to introduce myself, I am Princess Celestia." Oh great royalty "May I ask what yours is?" I don't know why, but my gaze instantly went to her ass as I squinted my eyes to look at the tattoo thing on her butt. She instantly noticed this and covered herself with a wing "It's not polite to stare." I was reeled back and then processed what just happened. I looked at a Princess's ass and lived to tell about it. Thank god "Oh well its just that the thing on your butt..." She looked back and saw the thing I was talking about "Oh this?" She promptly placed a hoof on her hind quarters "Yes that.." "This is my cutie mark." Wut "A cutie what now?" "A cutie mark." She could tell I was hopelessly lost in what she was saying and started to explain. "Cutie marks are things in this world that help us identify our natural talent. Like mine for example is a sun indicating that I raise the sun everyday." She said this in a matter-of-fact tone. "I see..." "Well now that that is settled won't you please tell us your name." The seven ponies then moved there heads closer to me thinking I was going to mumble again. "My name is Nave." "Do you have a last name?" "My mentor gave me the last name Valgar, but im not entirely sure." "What do you mean? Didn't your parents give you a last name?" I then stared at the floor again remembering that I didn't know my parents. "Oh.." She saw that the words "parents" didn't work around me, after a couple of seconds of awkward silence she spoke up again. "What happened to them?" "I-I don't know exactly... I grew up with my mentor and he never said anything about my parents. Hell I don't even know if HE knew who they were." "I see.." After a few more seconds of more silence the lavender one spoke up. "Well now that we know your name let us introduce ourselves." "Im Twilight Sparkle" The yellow one spoke, but very softly and almost not audible. "Im Fluttershy" Cuteness overload The third one was the white one. "Hello darling, my name is Rarity." Oh great a royal wanna-be The fourth one was the orange one from. I gave her a weak smile as she gave me a glare that screamed "blood will be spilled." "Im' Applejack" Farmer/Hillbilly The fifth one was the cyan winged one that hurt her wing, she too looked pretty pissed. Yet she spoke in a cheerful voice. "I'm Rainbow Dash, fastest flier in all of Equestria." So this place is called Equestria huh? The last one was a pink one that looked more than excited to see me. "Umm... hi?" "OHMYGOSHANEWCREATUREICANTWAITTOTHROWAPARTYFORYOUAREYOUFROMSPACEORSOMEWHERELSEIREALLYREALLYWANTTONOWYOUKN-" She was cut off by Twilight with a hoof in her mouth. "Please Pinkie Pie don't scare him, even if he did attack us..." Oh great a grudge holder... "No its fine she doesn't scare me at all in fact I thing its kind of cute that she enjoys me here." "Really? Are you serious?" "Oh course I am" "Well ok then..." "Good now what?" I looked back at Celestia who was watching us the entire time. "Well now i'd say Its time to go to bed my little ponies." "What?" I looked outside to see the moon had already risen and was at its full glory in the night sky. "how did it get there so fast!?" "Luna must have done it a little early tonight, but close enough to were no one would notice." "Wait who is this Luna you speak of?" "Why she is my sister of course and the Princess of the night." Double royalty huh? By the time I was in reality again Twilight and her friends were already leaving saying their goodbyes to the princess and shuffling out the door, I also heard Pinkie shout something on the lines of. "We'll have that welcoming party sometime soon ok?" Celestia was standing behind me and then spoke. "Well now that that is settled won't you please come with me?" 10 Minutes Later "Nave I have to something to ask you." "Yes and what would that be?" "Would you like to see who your parents are?" "What you can tell me!?" "Well yes I can If you want me to." "hmm... I-I'm not sure I want to know who they are... they abandon me when I was just a baby! WHO DOES THAT!?" My tone started from excited to nervous to anger in about 10 seconds flat. (hehe see what I did there) "No need to get angry Nave I already know who your parents really are and why they did what they did." "I'll consider it right now i'm just tired, beating up ponies isn't the easiest thing in the world you know." She gave a angry glare on the mention of basically beating up her subjects. Hell I couldn't blame her she was just being protective. "Follow me, you can sleep in one of the guest suites on the top floor. Oh and another thing could you please keep your weapons concealed I don't need one of my guards trying to trample you thinking you're trying to kill me or something absurd." "Ok, but just for the record I bet I could beat any of them." She laughed at my remark as we continued towards the top floor. Guest Suite Celestia had just left my room and I was now laying on the bed that had much more space than my old bed did. Yeah the one that's burnt to a crisp As I lied in the bed I had one thing on my mind and that was should I know who my parents were? Or keep it a mystery? I thought about this until I drifted off into the sandman's heavenly realm of sleep. An unexpected eventI woke up to the sun shining in my face and the wind coming through the window that was barely open. I looked around expect to find my mentor next to me and shout my name only to remember the events that happened last night. Oh right... I walked down to the main throne room to see it being transformed into what looked to be a matrimonial scene. I walked around quickly to find Celestia and to ask to ask what the hell was going on. I spotted her with a quill being levitated by her golden aura and a checklist also levitated in front of her face. I cleared my throat to get her throat to get her attention, many of the ponies were now staring at me wondering what in Equestria I was. "Why hello, Nave. Nice to see you slept well." I gave a face that screamed "what are you doing to this place?" She seemed to catch on quite quickly. "Oh this well you see my Royal Guard Captain is getting married today! Isn't it wonderful!" The ponies around me were now muttering to each other, I could make out some of the sentences they were saying such as,"what do you think it is?" or, "Is it dangerous?" and also, "does even speak?" I was getting more frustrated with the ponies around me and also for Celestia forgetting to tell me such an important event. "I DAMN TOO SPEAK AND WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY I WAS NOT INFORMED OF THIS EARLIER!?" "Nave please calm down I didn't tell you yesterday because you said you were tired so I didn't want to try and tell you about this." I felt a wave of guilt come over me. "Oh I did say that didn't I..." My voice died down and the ground suddenly became very interesting. Celestia cleared her throat to get me to look at her. "Nave now that you are well rested I assume you have an answer to my question I asked you last night?" I looked back up and spoke to her again, "I have been thinking about and... Yes will you please some me?" She smiled,"Please close your eyes," I did what she told me to and I felt her horn come in contact with my head. I saw a memory unveil inside my brain many people all gathered around a one woman holding a child, but the woman was different from the others, she was... an elf. I also saw a man standing next to her smiling at the child before her. The child was asleep and looked content not giving a care in the world. My eyes were flooded with light when I opened them and I saw Celestia standing in front of me. I was confused as to why see showed me this. "Why did you show me this?" She looked surprised at my reaction,"Nave, those were your parents." What she said made me widen my eyes and look at her with a surprised face. "Those were... my parents?" I asked her in a hesitant voice, she nodded. "So i'm an elf?" "Half elf to be exact, but yes you inherited all the traits your mother had." "Wait so doesn't that mean I have elven magic within me?" She perked her ears up at my question. "Why... yes that would mean you inherited her magic... hold still for a second." She lowered her head and her horn lit up, then I was veiled in her golden aura. She took a step back as she stood at attention again when she finished examining me. "Nave... you have... an infinite magic source." I put a smile on my face and then asked her, "well that's good right?" "Yes, but while it is a blessing to have that much magic it is also a curse, that must be took over your body when you got here." I was astounded to here that, "Wait that's what caused me to have all that energy?" "I believe so." As I was in my thoughts to what she just told me she abruptly started to cloud my thoughts as she spoke,"I also forgot to meant that your father was a well known swordsmen of a land in your world known as Gondor. That might be why you're so good in the art of the spear." I forgot about my thoughts and ran up to her and spoke like a kid who had just received a gift, "My father was a man of Gondor!?" She stepped back when I quickly ran up into her face, "Yes Nave he was." I couldn't contain my excitement as I jumped in the air, but this time I felt a little more power in my legs as I began to launch off the ground. I almost hit my head on the ceiling that was about 20 feet overhead. Everyone in the room stopped and looked in amazement as I leaped in the air. I mostly got myself off guard when I looked down and saw how high I was. It wasn't long before I came back down and landed on my feet and went into a squat position. I began to stand up and inspect myself. Not a scratch on me... How in the world did I do that? "Nave I think the magic is starting to have an affect on your body." She quickly lowered her horn again as she inspected me. She was soon finished and began speaking again, "Nave the magic is starting to run through your body like wildfire!" She quickly ran and picked up a statue with her magic and placed it in front of me. "Try to pick this up." I was hesitant at first, but then thought oh what the hell, might as well try. I placed my hands on the sides and started to push with all my force upward. The statue easily came off the ground without a problem leaving me dumbfounded. As I was still holding the statue I started to talk, "So does this mean i'm some kind of super human?" Celestia chuckled at my question, "somewhat of one, yes." "What do you mean somewhat of one?" She looked at me with a smile on her face,"well with my training I can show you how to control your magic." I was excited that I could do such things, but didn't want to wait to be able to do them. "Do I really have to?" I then placed the statue back in its previous position. "Unless you can magically learn how to control them in one night yes." I just grumbled at her and looked away. She then remember what she was going to tell me earlier, "well anyway Nave I already told you about the wedding take place tomorrow, but I forgot to meant the 6 ponies that you... met are coming to this wedding to, so I deeply encourage you to try to get on there good side. Also while you're here come and help me set up for tomorrow." I happily agreed and then began the to help move things and set things up all with the help of my newly found magic. I worked and labored myself for about 4 hours before Celestia came back and told everyo- er, everypony to go and have lunch. I was on my way outside too, but was stopped by Celestia's big white hoof, "you can come eat with me if you'd like." I happily agreed and followed her to what seemed to be a dining room with stained glass windows and other fancy things laying here and there. I sat at the nearest seat next to Celestia and waited for our lunch to arrive. In the that time two new ponies joined us they were shocked to see me at first, but hey who wasn't? There names were princess Cadance and Shining Armor, the ponies that were married tomorrow. They were happy to meet me even though I wasn't one of them I knew I would became great friends with them. We sat there for almost another 5 minutes or so before another pony came in one with the same coat as Celestia, but had elegantly made blonde hair that draped down his shoulders much like mine, only mine was almost a white color and it had a finely made metal cuff to hold my hair back. He saw me and I gave him a friendly smile what happened next was unexpected,"My Celestia what IS that THING." I shot him a death glare only to have him give me a more disgusted look. Celestia spoke up before I could say anything, "Hello Blueblood this is Nave, he is a human from another world." He still looked disgusted at me, "well whatever it is, It's HIDEOUS." I rose from my seat and slammed my hands on the table and stood up, causing him to flinch a little. Celestia put her hoof on me to make me sit back down. "Blueblood I will not have you speak to our guest in such a tone," Celestia said calmly. I reunited my butt with my chair, while Blueblood had his gaze set on me. I heard a bell signaling the arrival of the food and a couple of unicorns came in and were levitating the plates in the air. They set the plates down, one for each of us, and pulled off the silver dome that covered the plates. My mouth was drooling considering I hadn't had food since yesterday morning and it showed as my stomach started to growl loudly. "Sorry i'm just a little hungry...." The domes came off and what was laid on the plates was a variety of plants and vegetables. My once smile turned into disappointment and Blueblood was the first to notice this. "What's wrong peasant? You should be grateful were feeding you." I just scowled at him and turned to Celestia. "I can't eat this," I simply said. "And why not?" she said confused. "Vegetables are disgusting, I need meat." She was drinking some tea while I said the last sentences and she nearly spit it out as I told her my thoughts. "You eat meat?" She asked in a nervous tone. "Yes, but I don't eat ponies or horse meat. Only chicken, cow, and pig meat." She breathed a sigh of relief, "well we may have some meat left over from when the griffons came to the council we have every month..." I smiled, "Great! No nasty greens for me~" Celestia rolled her eyes while smiling. After lunch was over blueblood quickly left and went to where ever ponies like him go, while I on the other hand went to go back to work on the wedding decors. After hours of lifting heavy objects and jumping to make banners stay in place in high places I was exhausted. My body wasn't used to elven magic yet so it hurt to use it. I simply sat down and looked at the work I had just finished It looked quite nice if you ask me, then again this was a royal wedding. It was already dark and Luna's moon was already high in the sky (something I had learned during lunch). I stood up stretched a little and then proceeded to walk back to the room I was camped in. I had removed my gear and set it next to me on the floor and quickly got under the heavy blankets. I looked up at the ceiling with my hands behind my head and sat there for a moment pondering what I was going to do tomorrow when the wedding was taking place. Probably seating in here considering no one has seen me yet I sat there for a few more minutes before the sandman took me to his heavenly land called sleep.
New Beginnings"Nave wake up!" I groaned then faced away from the direction of the sound "NAVE!" I slowly slumped up from my slumber and tried to let the light go into my eyes. That didn't work to well, the suns rays were to much for my eyes that had just been opened. I quickly hissed at the light and faced away. My mentors face quickly came into to view, he was like the father I never had or a mother for a matter of fact. "Well good to see your in a nice mood today," he said this in a sarcastic like tone. "Haha," I said in an equally sarcastic, yet mocking tone. "You know this is an important day" I gave him a confused look. He returned my look with one that told me 'Did you seriously forget?' "Its your birthday today!," he shouted this at the top of his lungs and I was quite surprised, so much that I had moved back a bit and fell off my bed. He laughed a bit then helped me to my feet. "Get your clothes on boy we're going somewhere." "where?" "Didn't I tell you? Somewhere!" "Oh haha" " yes that was quite humorous wasn't it?" I groaned as I started to put on my normal clothes. I already knew this was going to be a long day packed with my mentors stupid humor and some surprising new things. A little while later I had gotten up, ate some leftover bread from yesterday note to self get some more bread, and had started for the door. My mentor then came around the corner carrying a long, thin box. "wait just a second Nave," he then waved me over to the table i just ate on. It wasn't just a normal box, actually it wasn't a box at all just a long rod of some sort wrapped in what appeared to be cloth. "As you know i'm a friend of the Dwarves that live in the lonely mountain, correct?" "yes, but what does th-" He cut me off and then spoke "Good, then you will understand how i obtained these," he said this while gesturing to the wrapped rod that was now glowing brightly. "I want you to have this," he handed me the cloth bag with a big smile on his face. I gave him a slightly worried, yet happy look when i took the bag. I had never seen him so happy before this was quite a surprise in it self! I looked at the bag, then at him, then back at the bag. I untied the ends of the bag then started to work my way through the cloth and then saw a spear tip. No wait, two spear tips! i quickly opened the bag and saw it. Two wonderfully crafted weapons of war. One a spear made of a bright shiny metal, and a javelin (basically the same thing just lighter so you can throw it) made of the same shiny material. I then proceeded to ask him,"what is the material used for these?" He gestured for me to come closer to him, "Mithril." He said this silently so no one could hear him. I then looked at him with big beady eyes and yelled "MITHRIL?!" He put his hand over my mouth quickly and put his finger over his mouth to signal for me to shut it. I then processed what I had done knowing I probably wasn't supposed to do that. Mithril was a great and powerful substance used for making only the finest of armor, never had it been made into a weapon. It could be beaten like copper, and polished like glass;and the Dwarves could make of it a metal, light and yet harder than tempered steel. Its beauty was like to that of common silver, but the beauty of mithril did not tarnish or grow dim. "well now that that's done lets go and explore the town shall we?" I started to move but was stopped when my mentor spoke. "Oh but before we go, I would hide those weapons of yours. nothing is more valuable than mithril," I took the hint and then quickly hid them strategically inside of another room and set it down. Only you run into a unforeseen problem, they glowed. I then had to put them under the covers of my bed. I placed them there only to see it still glowed under the sheets. I then placed 3 more sheets over them before it wasn't noticeable anymore. Well besides the four sheets of cloth and blanket it wasn't noticeable. I then ran to the door to see my mentor waiting at the door leading out of the house. City of Dale We walked outside to see the entire town already hard at work even if it was only 7:00, by my calculations. We could see the entire town and also the great Dwarven kingdom inside the mountain, for the doors that lead to the great city was massive in size. We went to a couple of markets for food and such items Got my breadand then started for home. We had started to walk up onto the door step of our house when we heard the most death deifying screech. We quickly threw the food inside the house and went to see where the horrible scream was coming from. We looked across the city and didn't see anything, this is when we then looked up into the sky only to see a horrid sight. a dragon. and not just any old dragon, a giant fire drake. We saw him and only to our avail see him make a B-line for our town. Our town wasn't big but was still large enough to attract attention to the great dragon. The archers started to release arrows from their bows and the horn callers blew heavily on the great horns of wood signaling to be prepared for the onslaught that was soon to come. The dragon got within range and breathed fire everywhere leaving a giant line through the city. My mentor was a renowned warrior in our town and was soon dashing to one of the guard outposts. I heard him yell "get outside the town quickly, but don't be noticed by the dragon!" I looked over to see the plains everywhere, no hiding places anywhere. thanks for the advice i thought sarcastically in my brain. I ran inside and quickly found my spear and javelin. They were know glowing so bright that i could barely look at them. I grabbed my old leather holster for the two weapons, sheathed them, then grabbed my old shield. The shield too was made out of mithril making it entirely weightless basically, I then started for the door only to then almost get burned by the dragons fire. He had scorched up the entire house and it was quickly engulfing the entire place, I couldn't go out the back because we didn't have one. My mentor thought it would be a brilliant idea to live in a house near the stone wall of the city so in case someone broke in the only option of escape was the door. (the windows were too small for someone to fit in) I wasn't frightened, but now I knew there was no way of escape. My mentor always told me you should die honorably, well I don't know about the honorable part but I knew I was going to die. I then pleaded for someone to help me, the fact I knew I was going to die quickly frightened me. I pleaded for aid but no one came I then went to the corner of my room waiting for the end. After about three minutes of watching the flames engulf my home I knew no one could possibly help me. I saw the flames get closer and closer spreading around the walls of my room. The flames heat was scorching my face as I waited for my end. I saw the flames spread around me, closer, and closer, and closer, I closed my eyes waiting for death. I heard a big sound then felt as though I was falling. I didn't feel the heat, nor did I hear the sounds of anything. I opened my eyes to see I was laying down on the ground of a forest. I had no idea what had happened, at first i though there was some kind of explosion that saved me and that I landed in the plains that watched over Dale. I knew one thing when I got up I was alive and that was all that mattered. I then heard a rustle in a nearby bush I saw the silhouette of the figure I couldn't make out what it was. I then instantly felt hungry, hungry for meat. I got my javelin ready to hurl. I positioned myself into a throwing stance and then launched my javelin toward the target.The figure heard the whistle of my javelin and looked up. I saw the figure had a horn of some sort thinking it was a deer. This deer was different though it wasn't a deer at all in fact. It was a unicorn it used its magic to stop my hurling thorn in mid-air. It then looked at me and I saw the figures eyes glisten in the sunlight. It gave me a frightened stare and then quickly ran off into another direction. I went to pick up my javelin then went and sat at a nearby tree base. I sat there for a couple minutes before I saw the figure again. I then tried my luck for a second time thinking I could catch it off guard this time. Well this time I saw five other pairs of eyes some with and without horns. They then came running towards me at a quick speed I saw the fastest one, a cyan colored pegasus, flying towards me and man they didn't look happy to see me. I got my spear and shield out and held my ground waiting the oncoming assault of the multicolored ponies.
Not at homeThe first one I saw coming at me were two different colored, one was a cyan horse like creature with wings, the other one was a orange colored with a hat on. The cyan one was obviously the faster one as it came lunging at me with a fist - er hoof raised. It hit my shield making a satisfying metallic clank as the horse hit the ground. Upon further inspection it looked to small to be a horse, it was pony sized. Pony it is then I quickly gathered what wits I had left and ran to a bush that was nearby, well considering they were everywhere. The orange pony didn't take its eyes off me as it then jumped into the bush with me. I made a hustle to get out before it could get me, but I was to slow for the pony. It grabbed my leg so I then began to pull the pony on my ankle with me. I knew what it was doing it was trying to make me tried by pulling the weight around. I quickly made a small slash against her hoof and she recoiled back holding the hoof I had just made a big gash in. The cyan one was getting up again although the orange one looked about done for. The cyan one looked at what I had did to the orange one, then quickly gave me a death glare. What it did next shocked me so much I just stood there like an dumbfounded. "YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR THAT YOU FREAK!," it said this in a rather high tone. Probably female While I was lost in my thoughts she quickly got on her hoofs again and made a mad dash to me. Her wing looked broken in some parts near the edges. How did she break her wing? She hit me with her hoof... Still in my thoughts she slugged me right in the face making my teeth clinch together and making me stumble backwards and fall to the ground. She looked satisfied with her work as she shot me a hooked smile. Oh now you're going to pay I dragged my body upwards reclaiming my shield and spear, javelin in its leathery holster still. "How are you still standing?! I socked you right in the face!," she looked terrified, knowing I just took a punch to the face and was only left with a couple brain cells gone and a banged up face. "Well you see in my world im somewhat a sturdy guy." I started to walk towards her with a devilish as I was lifted up by a purple aura. "You can stay there for all your worth," the lavender one said in a professional, yet mad tone. "I'll also be taking these," she then took my weapons out of my hands and leather holster. Now im not sure why, but something inside clicked and made me extremely mad knowing she was taking away my only connection I had left with my home, well whats left of it. I felt something deep inside me come alive and awaken, a force that made me want to kill, destroy, demolish. My irises then started to contract from my oceanic blue eyes and turn them into a shade of red that looked like blood, I also started to scowl at the ponies laid out in front of me. I started to go on a rampage grunting and yelling trying to remove me from my purple prison. The lavender one looked frightened at first, but then started to regain her stature again. "There's no way you're going to break free from my magic," she said this in a very confident tone. "Yeah we'll see about that." I then started to flex my muscles and start to move the energy in my body into my arms. I felt the energy surge from my chest to my arms and then proceeded to push outward. I could feel the magic starting to get weaker I as pushed even harder to break free. With one last push I broke free from the aura and landed on the ground feet first. "ho-how did y-you?" I then glared at them with my blood red eyes and they quickly backed off. The lavender pony dropped my weapons and I then went to retrieve them. I was walking to my weapons laying in front of me, when I got to them I started to pick them up. The energy inside me then dissipated and I collapsed on the forest floor. The ponies quickly ran to me and restrained me. The world was turning black as I started to hear the lavender one say faintly. "We... need... get... to... Princess.... Celestia..." And with that I closed my eyes and let the world go dark around me.
Valuable info and a hard decisionWhen I woke up from my somewhat pleasant slumber I was in a room with stained glass windows and a giant throne at the end of the hall, weapons still on me. You know being the only human here you'd thing they would have you strapped down a table ready to cut you open I took a double take on the room and found that on the other end there were 2 giant doors that looked at least 12 feet tall in comparison to me. While I was still looking left and right and up and down I didn't notice the giant white pony come from the other end I was looking at. I heard the shoes or whatever it was wearing and turned around quickly to identify the noise. What I saw was a giant pony that had a horn AND wings on it, also some fancy get up like golden shoes and a tiara placed on her flowing mane. She then spoke in a motherly voice that was pleasant to hear. Another female "So you're the one that has been causing trouble lately," she said this in a tone of comfort and not anger like I thought she would. I was confused and asked her,"you're not angry with me?" "Why no, why? Should I be?" "Well no it's just that being the only creature here on this planet I just thought you would be trying to kill me right now." She chuckled at my statement and continued to speak,"It is true you're the only one of your kind here, but we won't harm you." "What do you mean by, we?" And with that six other ponies came into the room. Oh shit.... What I saw were the same ponies from earlier that tried to kill me, but this time 3 new ponies that I hadn't noticed before were there too. One Pink with a pink mane, another one was white with a rather stylish purple name, the last one was undeniable shy with a coat of yellow and pink mane. The two ponies I had banged up before had casts on the areas that I had damaged. The cyan one had a cast on her wing and also on her hoof that she so recklessly punched my shield with. The orange one had a bunch of gauze on her left front hoof that I had sliced open. The white one spoke again,"I believe you owe them an apology for your acts towards them." "like hell I will! They attacked me!" "Yes, but was it not you who attacked my student first?" Student? I remembered about throwing my javelin at the purple one for means of food. I mentally face palmed myself and then stood there looking at the ground trying to avoid there gaze. "Im sorry..." The purple one spoke up. " what was that?" She was enjoying this so much "Im sorry..." "Still can't hear you." She now put up a hoof to her ears indicating I wasn't loud enough for her. "IM SORRY" They looked phased at first, but then looked at me knowing they had won. The white one spoke yet again. "Well now that that's settled I would to introduce myself, I am Princess Celestia." Oh great royalty "May I ask what yours is?" I don't know why, but my gaze instantly went to her ass as I squinted my eyes to look at the tattoo thing on her butt. She instantly noticed this and covered herself with a wing "It's not polite to stare." I was reeled back and then processed what just happened. I looked at a Princess's ass and lived to tell about it. Thank god "Oh well its just that the thing on your butt..." She looked back and saw the thing I was talking about "Oh this?" She promptly placed a hoof on her hind quarters "Yes that.." "This is my cutie mark." Wut "A cutie what now?" "A cutie mark." She could tell I was hopelessly lost in what she was saying and started to explain. "Cutie marks are things in this world that help us identify our natural talent. Like mine for example is a sun indicating that I raise the sun everyday." She said this in a matter-of-fact tone. "I see..." "Well now that that is settled won't you please tell us your name." The seven ponies then moved there heads closer to me thinking I was going to mumble again. "My name is Nave." "Do you have a last name?" "My mentor gave me the last name Valgar, but im not entirely sure." "What do you mean? Didn't your parents give you a last name?" I then stared at the floor again remembering that I didn't know my parents. "Oh.." She saw that the words "parents" didn't work around me, after a couple of seconds of awkward silence she spoke up again. "What happened to them?" "I-I don't know exactly... I grew up with my mentor and he never said anything about my parents. Hell I don't even know if HE knew who they were." "I see.." After a few more seconds of more silence the lavender one spoke up. "Well now that we know your name let us introduce ourselves." "Im Twilight Sparkle" The yellow one spoke, but very softly and almost not audible. "Im Fluttershy" Cuteness overload The third one was the white one. "Hello darling, my name is Rarity." Oh great a royal wanna-be The fourth one was the orange one from. I gave her a weak smile as she gave me a glare that screamed "blood will be spilled." "Im' Applejack" Farmer/Hillbilly The fifth one was the cyan winged one that hurt her wing, she too looked pretty pissed. Yet she spoke in a cheerful voice. "I'm Rainbow Dash, fastest flier in all of Equestria." So this place is called Equestria huh? The last one was a pink one that looked more than excited to see me. "Umm... hi?" "OHMYGOSHANEWCREATUREICANTWAITTOTHROWAPARTYFORYOUAREYOUFROMSPACEORSOMEWHERELSEIREALLYREALLYWANTTONOWYOUKN-" She was cut off by Twilight with a hoof in her mouth. "Please Pinkie Pie don't scare him, even if he did attack us..." Oh great a grudge holder... "No its fine she doesn't scare me at all in fact I thing its kind of cute that she enjoys me here." "Really? Are you serious?" "Oh course I am" "Well ok then..." "Good now what?" I looked back at Celestia who was watching us the entire time. "Well now i'd say Its time to go to bed my little ponies." "What?" I looked outside to see the moon had already risen and was at its full glory in the night sky. "how did it get there so fast!?" "Luna must have done it a little early tonight, but close enough to were no one would notice." "Wait who is this Luna you speak of?" "Why she is my sister of course and the Princess of the night." Double royalty huh? By the time I was in reality again Twilight and her friends were already leaving saying their goodbyes to the princess and shuffling out the door, I also heard Pinkie shout something on the lines of. "We'll have that welcoming party sometime soon ok?" Celestia was standing behind me and then spoke. "Well now that that is settled won't you please come with me?" 10 Minutes Later "Nave I have to something to ask you." "Yes and what would that be?" "Would you like to see who your parents are?" "What you can tell me!?" "Well yes I can If you want me to." "hmm... I-I'm not sure I want to know who they are... they abandon me when I was just a baby! WHO DOES THAT!?" My tone started from excited to nervous to anger in about 10 seconds flat. (hehe see what I did there) "No need to get angry Nave I already know who your parents really are and why they did what they did." "I'll consider it right now i'm just tired, beating up ponies isn't the easiest thing in the world you know." She gave a angry glare on the mention of basically beating up her subjects. Hell I couldn't blame her she was just being protective. "Follow me, you can sleep in one of the guest suites on the top floor. Oh and another thing could you please keep your weapons concealed I don't need one of my guards trying to trample you thinking you're trying to kill me or something absurd." "Ok, but just for the record I bet I could beat any of them." She laughed at my remark as we continued towards the top floor. Guest Suite Celestia had just left my room and I was now laying on the bed that had much more space than my old bed did. Yeah the one that's burnt to a crisp As I lied in the bed I had one thing on my mind and that was should I know who my parents were? Or keep it a mystery? I thought about this until I drifted off into the sandman's heavenly realm of sleep.
An unexpected eventI woke up to the sun shining in my face and the wind coming through the window that was barely open. I looked around expect to find my mentor next to me and shout my name only to remember the events that happened last night. Oh right... I walked down to the main throne room to see it being transformed into what looked to be a matrimonial scene. I walked around quickly to find Celestia and to ask to ask what the hell was going on. I spotted her with a quill being levitated by her golden aura and a checklist also levitated in front of her face. I cleared my throat to get her throat to get her attention, many of the ponies were now staring at me wondering what in Equestria I was. "Why hello, Nave. Nice to see you slept well." I gave a face that screamed "what are you doing to this place?" She seemed to catch on quite quickly. "Oh this well you see my Royal Guard Captain is getting married today! Isn't it wonderful!" The ponies around me were now muttering to each other, I could make out some of the sentences they were saying such as,"what do you think it is?" or, "Is it dangerous?" and also, "does even speak?" I was getting more frustrated with the ponies around me and also for Celestia forgetting to tell me such an important event. "I DAMN TOO SPEAK AND WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY I WAS NOT INFORMED OF THIS EARLIER!?" "Nave please calm down I didn't tell you yesterday because you said you were tired so I didn't want to try and tell you about this." I felt a wave of guilt come over me. "Oh I did say that didn't I..." My voice died down and the ground suddenly became very interesting. Celestia cleared her throat to get me to look at her. "Nave now that you are well rested I assume you have an answer to my question I asked you last night?" I looked back up and spoke to her again, "I have been thinking about and... Yes will you please some me?" She smiled,"Please close your eyes," I did what she told me to and I felt her horn come in contact with my head. I saw a memory unveil inside my brain many people all gathered around a one woman holding a child, but the woman was different from the others, she was... an elf. I also saw a man standing next to her smiling at the child before her. The child was asleep and looked content not giving a care in the world. My eyes were flooded with light when I opened them and I saw Celestia standing in front of me. I was confused as to why see showed me this. "Why did you show me this?" She looked surprised at my reaction,"Nave, those were your parents." What she said made me widen my eyes and look at her with a surprised face. "Those were... my parents?" I asked her in a hesitant voice, she nodded. "So i'm an elf?" "Half elf to be exact, but yes you inherited all the traits your mother had." "Wait so doesn't that mean I have elven magic within me?" She perked her ears up at my question. "Why... yes that would mean you inherited her magic... hold still for a second." She lowered her head and her horn lit up, then I was veiled in her golden aura. She took a step back as she stood at attention again when she finished examining me. "Nave... you have... an infinite magic source." I put a smile on my face and then asked her, "well that's good right?" "Yes, but while it is a blessing to have that much magic it is also a curse, that must be took over your body when you got here." I was astounded to here that, "Wait that's what caused me to have all that energy?" "I believe so." As I was in my thoughts to what she just told me she abruptly started to cloud my thoughts as she spoke,"I also forgot to meant that your father was a well known swordsmen of a land in your world known as Gondor. That might be why you're so good in the art of the spear." I forgot about my thoughts and ran up to her and spoke like a kid who had just received a gift, "My father was a man of Gondor!?" She stepped back when I quickly ran up into her face, "Yes Nave he was." I couldn't contain my excitement as I jumped in the air, but this time I felt a little more power in my legs as I began to launch off the ground. I almost hit my head on the ceiling that was about 20 feet overhead. Everyone in the room stopped and looked in amazement as I leaped in the air. I mostly got myself off guard when I looked down and saw how high I was. It wasn't long before I came back down and landed on my feet and went into a squat position. I began to stand up and inspect myself. Not a scratch on me... How in the world did I do that? "Nave I think the magic is starting to have an affect on your body." She quickly lowered her horn again as she inspected me. She was soon finished and began speaking again, "Nave the magic is starting to run through your body like wildfire!" She quickly ran and picked up a statue with her magic and placed it in front of me. "Try to pick this up." I was hesitant at first, but then thought oh what the hell, might as well try. I placed my hands on the sides and started to push with all my force upward. The statue easily came off the ground without a problem leaving me dumbfounded. As I was still holding the statue I started to talk, "So does this mean i'm some kind of super human?" Celestia chuckled at my question, "somewhat of one, yes." "What do you mean somewhat of one?" She looked at me with a smile on her face,"well with my training I can show you how to control your magic." I was excited that I could do such things, but didn't want to wait to be able to do them. "Do I really have to?" I then placed the statue back in its previous position. "Unless you can magically learn how to control them in one night yes." I just grumbled at her and looked away. She then remember what she was going to tell me earlier, "well anyway Nave I already told you about the wedding take place tomorrow, but I forgot to meant the 6 ponies that you... met are coming to this wedding to, so I deeply encourage you to try to get on there good side. Also while you're here come and help me set up for tomorrow." I happily agreed and then began the to help move things and set things up all with the help of my newly found magic. I worked and labored myself for about 4 hours before Celestia came back and told everyo- er, everypony to go and have lunch. I was on my way outside too, but was stopped by Celestia's big white hoof, "you can come eat with me if you'd like." I happily agreed and followed her to what seemed to be a dining room with stained glass windows and other fancy things laying here and there. I sat at the nearest seat next to Celestia and waited for our lunch to arrive. In the that time two new ponies joined us they were shocked to see me at first, but hey who wasn't? There names were princess Cadance and Shining Armor, the ponies that were married tomorrow. They were happy to meet me even though I wasn't one of them I knew I would became great friends with them. We sat there for almost another 5 minutes or so before another pony came in one with the same coat as Celestia, but had elegantly made blonde hair that draped down his shoulders much like mine, only mine was almost a white color and it had a finely made metal cuff to hold my hair back. He saw me and I gave him a friendly smile what happened next was unexpected,"My Celestia what IS that THING." I shot him a death glare only to have him give me a more disgusted look. Celestia spoke up before I could say anything, "Hello Blueblood this is Nave, he is a human from another world." He still looked disgusted at me, "well whatever it is, It's HIDEOUS." I rose from my seat and slammed my hands on the table and stood up, causing him to flinch a little. Celestia put her hoof on me to make me sit back down. "Blueblood I will not have you speak to our guest in such a tone," Celestia said calmly. I reunited my butt with my chair, while Blueblood had his gaze set on me. I heard a bell signaling the arrival of the food and a couple of unicorns came in and were levitating the plates in the air. They set the plates down, one for each of us, and pulled off the silver dome that covered the plates. My mouth was drooling considering I hadn't had food since yesterday morning and it showed as my stomach started to growl loudly. "Sorry i'm just a little hungry...." The domes came off and what was laid on the plates was a variety of plants and vegetables. My once smile turned into disappointment and Blueblood was the first to notice this. "What's wrong peasant? You should be grateful were feeding you." I just scowled at him and turned to Celestia. "I can't eat this," I simply said. "And why not?" she said confused. "Vegetables are disgusting, I need meat." She was drinking some tea while I said the last sentences and she nearly spit it out as I told her my thoughts. "You eat meat?" She asked in a nervous tone. "Yes, but I don't eat ponies or horse meat. Only chicken, cow, and pig meat." She breathed a sigh of relief, "well we may have some meat left over from when the griffons came to the council we have every month..." I smiled, "Great! No nasty greens for me~" Celestia rolled her eyes while smiling. After lunch was over blueblood quickly left and went to where ever ponies like him go, while I on the other hand went to go back to work on the wedding decors. After hours of lifting heavy objects and jumping to make banners stay in place in high places I was exhausted. My body wasn't used to elven magic yet so it hurt to use it. I simply sat down and looked at the work I had just finished It looked quite nice if you ask me, then again this was a royal wedding. It was already dark and Luna's moon was already high in the sky (something I had learned during lunch). I stood up stretched a little and then proceeded to walk back to the room I was camped in. I had removed my gear and set it next to me on the floor and quickly got under the heavy blankets. I looked up at the ceiling with my hands behind my head and sat there for a moment pondering what I was going to do tomorrow when the wedding was taking place. Probably seating in here considering no one has seen me yet I sat there for a few more minutes before the sandman took me to his heavenly land called sleep.
