The Peacemaker

As I laid on the ground and waited for it to be over I heard an absolutely terrifying rattling sound and opened my eyes, in the blur and faze that clouded my view I saw the humans above me start to twist and turn as blood spurted out from wounds as projectiles ripped through their bodies.

Several of the humans fell instantly but others tried to stand their ground, only to be pummeled by incoming projectiles that further shredded their bodies.

The one who had pointed his hand thing at me tried to bring his object up but a barrage of projectiles riddled his body and he fell to the ground. Suddenly another human entered my view and he crouched beside me as he held a large shooty thing that he had to hold in both hands. “Looks like I arrive just in time” said the human with a thick accent, whatever it was it was kind of funny.

He slung the big shooty thing around his back then lifted me up and put one of my forelegs around his neck as he began to carry my body away. Other shots rang out in the forest and I could hear the projectiles whiz past us. My vision kept blurring as we moved along through the forest when suddenly another human burst out from behind a tree and swung a machete at my saviour. He stepped our bodies back and drew out a shiny handheld thing and cocked back a hammer to the rear of the object then the object let out a thunderous BOOM and the other human’s head seemed to disappear in a mist of blood.

He continued to carry me along as several other humans chased us from behind and he turned our bodies and in quick succession shot off five more projectiles, each with their own BOOM signaling their departure towards another human.

“Don’t worry little one… I won’t let you die here… not now… not like this” whispered the voice and he continued to carry me along but suddenly another human burst out from a thicket of bushes and tackled us. As my rescuer was tackled to the ground he dropped my body and my vision blurred severely and I could barely see but I was able to depict the two humans fighting.

One began to dominate over the other and I just hoped that the one winning was my saviour or I’d be doomed. Suddenly one drove a knife into the other’s skull then came over to me. “Stay with me… you can’t die here… not here, not now” said the voice of my rescuer as he picked me up and began to carry me again.

I passed out from the pain and fell into unconsciousness but even in my unconsciousness I could hear my rescuer’s voice as he muttered things to me.

“You will survive… your parents were legendary warriors… you are a legendary warrior” I heard him mutter but I phased out again.

“Dammit… this is really bad… hey stay with me” the voice said again but I phased out again.

“There… I will see you again soon… I know that, if you ever find it in your heart to forgive me for what I have done, please tell me before you kill me” the voice said and I phased out again.

‘Kill him? For what, he saved my life so why would I want to kill him?’ I wondered in my state of unconsciousness, as time rolled by I found myself wondering other things such as who was that human and how did he know I needed to be saved.

I awoke in a hospital bed in the Ponyville hospital and began to look around but flinched in pain as I realized that my wounds still weren’t healed. “Damn… that sure was something else” I muttered to myself.

“Ah yes, Ms. Dash it’s so good to see you’re finally awake” said the familiar voice of nurse Redheart. I looked over to Redheart with a weak smile, “What… how am I here?” I asked and Redheart shrugged. “No-pony really knows, there was a knock on the front door and when we came to the front door there you were. Some-pony had patched you up before bringing you to us but didn’t stick around to chat” she informed me. “So how long do I gotta stay?” I asked and Redheart thought to herself.

“Not long actually, gunshot wounds heal up rather fast… though your wing may take up to a few weeks to heal” she informed me and I looked to my bandaged wing. “What the hell happened to me… it was like thunder was going off then bang, things started to rip through my body” I told her and she chuckled. “Perhaps you should’ve paid more attention in history class Dash, you might’ve learned a thing or two about humans and their guns” she began. “Guns?” I asked and she nodded “Yes guns, humans and their guns… they’re very dangerous and you’re lucky you aren’t dead. You see humans use guns as a sort of weapon and only unicorns can use guns very effectively, though a few Pegasus and unicorns have been able to utilize customized guns” she told me and I let out a deep exhale.

So some human had come to my rescue then left me at the front of the hospital. I concluded at that point that perhaps I could be friends with this human and he could be like my own human, the same way Applejack owns Javier and maybe this human that saved me could help me hunt down my parent’s killer.

Alright just so you all know I’m hoping back to Dmitry now oky doky.

I sat on my rocking chair on the front porch of my small house by the bottom of the mountain and smoked a cigarette. I had never wanted to start smoking but after I killed Wildhorse and Rose Pedal I just let myself go.

I took a deep drag of the cigarette as I heard a small car drive through the forest towards my small house that was secluded in the wilderness. As the car approached I readied my double barreled shotgun, waiting to see if it was a friend or a foe then I realized I had no friends and kept my shotgun ready.

“Please Dmitry, lower the gun… we mean you no harm” said one of the men as they exited the car. I lowered the shotgun but only slightly as I let them approach. “What do you want?” I asked the two men as they walked forward to my porch. The man in the nice suit stopped and looked to me then asked “Dmitry… how would you like to get paid: bits or dollars?”
