I woke up in a hospital bed. With a heavily armored stallion sitting on the edge of the bed.

“So you’re awake” It said.

“Where... where am I?” I asked.

“Ah yes out of all of the questions you have you ask the simplest first. You Ebon. Are in Ponyville General Hospital. As of now you are all alone in your room.” It said.

“But... but...”

“Don’t worry. She will be back. And yes she did kiss you. I was surprised too. But now she has some work to do. But I can tell you weigh heavily on her mind.”

“Okay then.... now...”

“What am I? Well I am an Ancient One. A Vampony Lord. I have control over life and death. And I chose you to be my host. Since wandering is not fun.”

“....”

“No I am not attempting to take you over. Infact I just want to watch what you do. I’m just a.... hitch hiker. Yes. But I am not gaining a ride for free. I am going to teach you how to control your new powers.”

“What powers?”

“Well first look at your eyes.”

Then a mirror floated in front of my face and I saw it. My eyes were silver, ‘My eyes....”

“Good you aren’t as stupid as I thought. Yes they did change. But what that means might be revealed to us later since even I don’t know why your eyes are silver. Mine turned crimson.”

He then turned to me and I saw he wasn’t lying. “Why aren’t you out there feeding and hunting then if you are so powerful?”

“I refuse to feed off of the innocent. The evildoers and evil vamponies I have no problem feasting on. I am a hunter. I hunt and wipe the evil from this world. Sort of a reluctant Villain of sorts.”

“Why do you want me?”

“I have no answer for that. I just chose you. Now before you ask no... you are not conscious. Infact you are in a coma like state. That I brought on you for the sole purpose of teaching you. Ah.... You will wake up before tomorrow night. So I suggest we begin right away.” It said throwing me a sword, “We have a lot of undead to kill. And a lot of talking to do.”

Then I heard a moan and the door burst inward. Why....

“You are a vampony now you do have to drink blood to survive. Although you could eat that won’t help much.”

I got out of the bed and jumped on top of the cultist and.... bit on his neck and drank.... I felt empowered.

“HAHA GOOD GOOD! You are learning quickly. Oh and yes I can read your mind.”

‘Gotcha. So no talking is needed.’

“Not by you! I still need too.”

‘Great... I now have a crazy mind reading vampony in my head.’

“Got that right! Now you might want to head outside.”

‘Some-pony’s out there?’

“Not right outside. More.... trapped inside another house. You might want to move or else it’s..... GAME OVER MAN! IT’S GAME OVER!”

Oookay. So with that I proceeded to leave the hospital not much else was inside.... odd.

“Not really they are having too much fun outside! Can you hear the sound of the falling rain? It’s like an armageddon flame!”

‘Great now you’re quoting a song. Don’t mock me. Please it won’t help either of us.’

“Oh it helps me alot. You on the other haha hoof... not so much.”

I sense something coming... wait hoof?

Then an undead horseman charged right at me. I jumped out of the way.

“DIE MORTAL YOU HAVE NO NEED TO BE HERE!” The Skeleton screamed.

“Da fuck I do get the hell out of my head!” I said.

“YOUR HEAD? HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAA THIS IS OUR DOMAIN MORTAL!”

It proceeded to attempt to kill me.... I just sliced through the horse and rider with my blade like they were paper. I turned around and was met by a burning Ponyville. All around were bodies. One building remained untouched. One. A tree.... I looked around some more and saw the entire town surrounded in fog. Thick and impenetrable.

“Yes I wouldn’t attempt to leave without her.....”

Her? Oh no.... that building.....

“RUN EBON RUN!”

SHUT UP FOR ONCE! I sheathed the sword and charged for the tree. I smashed through the door and was greeted with an undead sonnabitch attempting to kill Twilight...

“So soon?”

Ha ha ha ha ha. I don’t think so... She’s mine....

“Well then he can’t tell you what’s going on he’s currently in his first blood rage. Oh that’s brutal he just leaped onto the cultist and tore it’s throat out. Yummy. I bet rotted guts taste good... I never had any. But it appears they don’t. Since he is now puking. Fool. Oh back to Ebon.”

What the... I don’t remember much other than... eating that things intestines.

I felt Twilight hug me. “Thank you Ebon. There were too many of them for me to handle alone.”

I wiped my mouth off and returned the hug and looked at the carnage that I had caused. Nice try but this isn’t her.

“I try my best. Just play along.”

“No problem I’m happy to help!”

Then it vanished from around me. CELESTIA DAMMIT!

“Ha she has no way to get in here. So tell me what have you learned?”

‘Learned? Well I have super strength.’

“Check.”

‘I can sense undead.’

“Also check.”

‘I drink blood and I have...’

“AH yes. I forgot to mention. You have the ability to fly into a blood rage. I’ll let you figure that one out. And you can heal others and manipulate darkness. Fun times. You also have many other less than... good abilities. That I want you to never use.”

‘I have no complaints I don’t want to be a vampony.’

“Neither did I. Now.” A dagger appeared in front of me. “Take that and cut along your arm. I want you to make a blood pact with me.”

‘A what?’

“A blood pact. A deal that you won’t use any of the power I didn’t mention. Unless you discover some more own your own. Or unless I say its fine.”

‘Fine.’ I cut along my arm. ‘Now what?’

“I’ll do the rest.”

He drew some sort of seal on the ground in front of me.

“Step into it.”

I followed what he said.

He said something in a language I didn’t understand.

‘What?’

“Hahaha. Like I would tell you my name. But now it is done.”

‘So I can go?’

“No not yet you still have to train. Get back out there and slaughter the undead. I’ll awaken you when it’s time!”

‘Fine. I’ll go.’

Not only Ebon can hear the Vampony so no one else can hear him.
