Exiled

The Town of Ponyville was a small, peaceful settlement. We stood on the main road entering the village and bypassing ponies would shoot me curious look and occasional waves to Fluttershy and Rarity. “Seems like a nice town” I said to no certain pony. “Oh, Darling, it’s the nice town here in Equestria! And also, it’s close to Canterlot, so my customers don’t have a long way! Did I mention yet? I am the GREATEST Fashionista all over Equestria” Apparently Fashionista is the Local word for seamstress. “No you didn’t mention that yet Rarity. And what do you do for a living, Fluttershy?
“I, uhm, and care about hurt animals” she told me in that cute voice of hers- Wait cute voice of hers, did I really just think that? A loud gasp and a pink bolt that crashed into me interrupted my Thoughts. The pink bolt turned out to be another female Pony- mare is the term, isn’t it? – Who was now sitting on me, her puffy pink mane hopping as she blurted out a constant stream of words: OMYGOSHWHOAREYOUIMPINKIEPIEDOYOUWANTTOBEMY- Rarity silenced her with a hoof and pulled her of me. ”Pinkie, this is Teridax” she told the crazy pink pony “he saved me and Fluttershy from a bunch of Diamond Dogs”. Pinkie Pie bounced in the air, screaming: “THIS CALLS FOR A PAR-TEY!” and then zoomed of still in midair with, apparently, the speed of light. As I got back on my hooves I started to ask myself if the laws of physics applied for the pink one. “You MUST meet the rest of our friends, darling” Rarity interrupted my train of thought and pulled me with her. We arrived at the town’s central marketplace and rarity headed for a Cart full off apples with and orange-coated Pony wearing a hat next to it praising the apples. She was the first one I saw that wore any kind of clothing, and I started to wonder if Rarity even made the slightest profit. In that moment I realized that there were three different types of Ponies: the horned ones, the ones with wings and the regular ones like me. The apple turned her gaze towards us and smiled. “Howdy Rarity, Fluttershy and…” Before I even had the chance to tell her my name, rarity made a step forward and exclaimed “This dashing stallion over here is called Teridax! He saved me and Fluttershy from a group of Diamond Dogs!” “Oh, really? Well fellah, seems like yer a good fighter! These damn Diamond Dogs are sure not easy tah deal with!” “It was nothing” I shrugged it off. “OH, such a humble hero” Rarity put a hoof to her in a theatrical gesture. Applejack chuckled to that. “She has a thing fer heroic fellahs, you should be careful around her, or you might end up married” she joked. Rarity shot her a frown for that. She looked back to me and said: “Well, there are more friends to visit, see you at tonight’s party to Teridax honor, Darling” “Goodbye, Applejack” I told the Farmer-Mare and followed Rarity and Fluttershy to their next friend. They stopped in front of a tree with a door. “What is this building”? I asked, but Rarity had already opened the door, so I followed her. As we entered, I found myself in a library, bookshelves everywhere. On a counter, nose deep in a big book, sat a purple Unicorn and with a dark purple mane with a pink streak in her hair and said: “Welcome to the Ponyville Library, someone will be right there for you” without even looking up from her book and shouted “SPIKE! Customers!” A small purple and green lizard came walking from the back end of the library, and as he set his gaze on us, he made a little jump and stammered “Hey Rarity” with a goofy grin. After a short time, h seemed to get aware of me and Fluttershy too. “Oh, hey Fluttershy and…” Again, Rarity took a step forward and said: “THIS handsome hero is Teridax! He saved me and Fluttershy from a pack of nasty diamond Dogs” From “Dashing” to “handsome” in some minutes? Applejack seemed right about her and being saved! The little lizard was shot me a jealous frown and there was smoke coming from his nostrils. Apparently the little guy had a crush on Rarity. The purple Unicorn had risen from her table and was greeting me now “My name is Twilight Sparkle, I’m the local Librarian and Princess Celestia´s most Faithfull student.” “Is that princess Celestia the local ruler?” I asked her. “Uhm, yes she is! Are you not from Equestria?” “No I’m from an island Named Mata Nui” I casually told her. “You never told me you weren’t from Equestria, Darling!” Rarity spoke up. “Well, you never asked, Rarity.” Twilight giggled at that and then said “I’ve never seen such an island on any map of the known world! Where exactly is it located?” “On a planet named Spherus Magna some light-years from here! If you have a strong telescope, I can show it to you by night!” “You- you’re from another Planet? But, you’re a Pony! How is that Possible?” “Long story short: I lost a war, died and a godlike being granted me a new life on this Planet!” Their jaws dropped, and Spike said “He is insane!” Rarity shot him a glare and answered “HE isn’t insane! Spike why are you so rude!” “No problem, the lizard has a point. My story sounds a bit strange, how about the Long version?” “Hey, I’m no LIZARD, I’m a Dragon!” “Then you are the smallest Dragon I’ve ever seen! Listen, do you want the whole story or not?” Everyone agreed, except for spike, who continued to glare at me. So I told them the Story of my Life: My early Life as Metru Nuis Makuta, a peacekeeper, and my fast rise after the war against the Barraki. I spared some details at the Great War (mostly the detail that it was my fault) and ended it with my Banishment. Some hundred Thousand Years of live narrated in some minutes. The others listened politely, there were no interruptions expect for occasional owe and awes, and whimpers from Fluttershy, because my life is a pretty Brutal Story, and they only asked questions were it was necessary. At the end of it, Twilight was the first one to speak up: “Well, after you saved Rarity and Fluttershy, I’m sure the Princesses would help you to get back to your Home!” “Nah, I don’t want to go back, I’m beaten, my armies are dead, there’s nothing to return to. And also, I start to like it here.” Rarity spoke up after that: “Well, its getting late, and I assume you have no place to sleep Teridax?” I shook my head no. “Well, you could sleep with me- uhm I mean at my Boutique of course!” she giggled and Blushed, and I swear, Spike was about to explode and kill me, so I replied “I´d love that” eager to get away from the little dragon.
