Chapters A Brand New Life: Prolouge
As I place the rest of by school supplies into my locker I was prepared for me and my friends weekly hike. My names Cameron, I'm 17 years old, never stood out in a crowd, and always tries to have a good time. My apperence is, I have short scragly hair, brown eyes, and I always wore a white jacket with yellow flames.
I closed my locker ready to leave, but as I closed it my good friend Josh happens to pop out of nowhere like always. He was always a person of great surprises.
"Hey Cameron, All set for the hike?" He said to me with a smile that was always on his face.
"Sweet Merciful Zaford, Josh!" I shouted at him. "You have got to stop Popping around the place. Its unatural."
"Sorry." He said with a forgiving smile. "Its just that, this will be out One Hundreth time on these Hikes."
"One Hundreth?" I said with shock. "I atleast thought we were near the fifty mark" I said scrathing my head.
"Well yeah!" He said, now starting to bounce around. "These things were ment to clear and open up our minds"
"Well look." I said trying to get his attention. "Go get Charles and meet me outside, ok?"
"Okie-Dokie!" He said with a salute, and hopped off to get Charles.
Josh's apperence was simple. He was 17 years old, blond hair, green eyes, and wore a simple blue shirt.
Charles however seemed to be on the fancy side and some how he always had some sort of strange shift in his actions that I found weird. He was a good friend, but was kinda snooty, yet he some how dropped that whole idea and turned into the most westernest person I know, accent and all, he was 16 years old, wore a red jacket from time to time, short hair, and a lighter shade of brown eyes.
As I exited the school I examined it. After some time of looking at the bricked school I hear someone coming out of the school. I looked to see the two friends walking towards me.
"You guys set?" I asked as every trip began.
"Ready as a, Hungry man in a Hot Dog Eating Contest!" He said as he stared to laugh.
I just stared at him, wondering where on Earth he gets his analogies.
I shook it off know best not to ask Josh about, how he saw things.
"Ready" Charles said as he fliped through a notepad of drawings that he always carried around, there were land scapes, ourfits, ect.
After ten minutes or so we arrived at our lovely trail. As we walked down it Charles pulled my attention.
"Cameron can you do me a favor and have a look at these outfits?" He asked while handing me the notepad.
"Sure, you crazy drawing man." I said as I took the pad into my hands.
I examined the drawing of outfits and they were exquisite. Great now I'm starting to sound like Charles.
As I was looking at the drawings I wasn't looking at where I was walking and fell down a small hill.
I tumbled and rolled down the hill and landed hard on the ground floor. My vision was blured and my ears were ringing, must have banged my head.
Then a pair of hands came and helped me up to my feet.
"T-thanks guys." I said as I staggered on my feet, trying to keep my balence.
"Should we head back?" Charles asked with concern in his voice.
"No." I said as I shook my head. "I should be fine."
"Well thats a relif, I though we were going to have to carry you to a Hospital or something." Josh said in a jokingly voice.
I turned to look at him, but as I turned something caught my eyes. There was a small spark, not to far from where we are.
"Cameron, you alright?" Josh said while waving a hand in my face.
I slowly point at the sparks erupting out of nowhere. We all just stood there staring at the sparks.
Suddenly, a purple portal pops out. We, yet again, stare at the new object in front of us. I sigh and slowly walk up the the portal.
"Cameron!" My friends call to me as I'm about five feet from the portal. I look back to my friends with a smirk.
"Theres a first for everything." I say to them as I turn and run into the portal.
I opened my eyes slowly to see the bright sun shining down upon me. I put my arm up in front of my to stop the light, as my eyes adjusted to the light of the sun, I noticed that my white jacket had been replaced with a black one with flames on the sleaves. There was also a glove on my hand, I couldn't tell how far it went up my arm but from the feeling it was up to my forearms.
I sat up wondering about what I looked like now, hoping that I'm not very different. I then looked at my left arm, it to was like the right arm. The outfit I was now wearing was really interesting me, I had always had some sort of intrest in fire, the way it felt, the way it looked.
I wanted to confirm the rest of the outfit by looking down at the rest of my body. The front of the jacket was a bunch of flames scattered across my chest. My pants were a dark shade of grey and had a black skull that was on fire on the back of my theigh. My shoes weren't any different. They were a black pair and had litte flames on the side of them both.
I was now beginning to wonder what could have caused my new apperence. I then thought of the portal. I had jumped through it and passed out from some sort of pain in my back. I reached around myself to feel if there was anything different. I was shocked to feel a pair of feathery wings attached to my back!
I turned my head to look behind me and I saw the little flying helpers there. I couldn't do anything, nothing but grin a little. The thought of having wings, being able to fly though the sky would be grand. But there was a set back. I had no real idea on how to use them. I sighed and looked around to find out where I was at.
From the looks of it I was in a thicker forest than the one I was previously in. My thoughts were cut short by the reminder of my good friends. I then stood up just hoping that they were near.
"Josh! Charles!" I shouted. No response. I had no idea where they were. They were no where to be found. Depression fell apoun me knowing that I would never be able to see them again. I started to cry a little but wiped the tears away.
"This is no time to cry. Get a hold of yourself." I told myself while breathing slowly.
I calmed down enough to come up with some sort of plan. After some thinking I came up with an almost perfect plan. First I would need to find civillitation. Second I would need to get a lay down of the land and I guess this world. And third hope that no one here is a crazy murderer.
I then dicided to head for the nearest source of light that wasn't up. And off I went.
--
It felt like I had been walking for hours, I couldn't tell where the sun was thanks to the trees I could only tell that it was still out. As I was walking I spotted a bigger source of sunlight in the distance. My hopes rose as freedom of this cursed forest-at least I thought it was cursed-and being able to find civillitation. I started to run now excited to break from the forest.
I reached the end of the forest, the warm sun showering over me. I was so glad to be out of the dark forest. I then saw that the sun was in its afternoon shift. I also saw a small town not to far where I currently was. So much joy rushed over me like a tidel wave.
I took it slow on getting to the town not wanting to seem like a crazy man. As I reached the entrence to the town I saw a sign set up there it said, "Welcome to PonyVille".
What kind of a name is that for a town? I asked myself about the strange name. But I pushed the thought away. As I entered the town I looked at how colorful the place was. Though as Saxton Haul would jump out and punch me in the face, things went from good to completely crazy!
As I was walking I noticed that there were two people talking about some sort of party, I really wasn't listening because they had a fur coat, and a muzzle!! Like a ponies!
I shook my head and looked off some where else not wanting to seem like a freak by staring a people...or is it ponies now?
"Look find a libary, get idea of place and hope there are no crazies" I said to myself. As I walked down a steet I noticed a girl with pink hair, a somewhat of a dark yellow sweater....and a fur coat, and wings. Not know the area I walked up to her.
"Um, excuse me" I said trying to get here attention. There was an audible "Eep" that must have come from her.
"Sorry." I aplogized stepping back. "I didn't mean to scare you."
She just stared at me, and was somewhat hiding behind her hair. Well this girl is obviously not the talking type.
"Sorry, I'll just be on my way." I said as I walked past her. Well there goes first impressions.
"Wait!" I heard a soft voice call behind me. I slowly turned my head to see the girl now looking a litttle bit more nervous.
"W-what were y-you going to ask" She said stuttering over some of the words.
"I was um, going to ask if you can lead me to the nearest liabary" I asked with a kind of nervousness in my voice.
"Y-yeah just follow me" She said while walking past me. I then started to follow her. I then tried to make small talk.
"So um, whats your name?" I asked hoping it didn't sound to weird.
"Its fluttershy..." I barely heard her say anything.
"I'm sorry but, could you repeat that?" I asked.
"Its Fluttershy" I was actully able to hear her say her name that time.
"Well, its nice to meet you Fluttershy."
"W-whats your name?" I heard her ask.
Name? My name? Cameron would sound like a freaks name. I then thought back to my apperence.
"My name is Shadow Flame" I told her. She then looked at me with a little smile.
"Its nice to meet you Shadow." She then looked forward and we continued to walk down the street.
--
After some time we reached a huge tree that appeared that it could be livible in. I looked at FlutterShy hoping we had reached our destination.
"Were here," She said while knocking on the door. "I just hope Twilight isn't in one of her study moods now. The last tome that happened-" Was all I could hear her finish as the door to the tree, bashed me in the face. My vision was blured and my ears were ringing. I couldn't stand up anymore I collasped onto the ground.
"I'm so so so so sorry mister!" I could hear a girl apoligize over and over again.
"D-don't...worry about it" I said slowly as my mind fell into a well needed rest.
--
"Is he going to be alright?" I heard the familiar voice of Fluttershy ask.
"I don't know, I really hope hes alright." I heard the same voice I heard before I was knocked out.
"Gimme a muffin, you little dolphin." I mumbled as I was waking up.
"What did he say." I heard the unknown voice say.
"Twilight, you did hit him pretty hard with the door." Fluttershy said.
Twilight, thats the name of the girl who hit me with the door? Well I would like to get to know people now that I'm here.
"Just a minute dolphin man." I said almost awake now. Even though I was asleep, I could feel their eyes on me. I opened my eyes to see two girls, or mares now, looking at me.
"Oh, hi there." I said trying to take the presure out. "It seems that there is some tension in the room. So how about I help you both with that, or something."
I looked around the room there were many book upon shelfs. I then thought back to my favorite series of a book that was called, "Daniel X Alien Hunter". As I was thinking my hand started to heat up. I looked at my hand and examined it more. Twilight and Fluttershy were just staring at me again.I took my gloves off and saw there was some sort of marking of my hand. It was a fireball with wings, it started to glow. The next thing I knew was that there was some sort of flame burst in my hands and the book popped there.
I looked at the book and back to the mares, they too were in shock. I then gave the book to Twilight, she stared at the book for a moment they looked at me and smiled. I then looked at Fluttershy and thought about some red roses. Next thing I knew, there was three red roses in my hands. I then looked at Fluttershy with a smile, I handed her the roses and she had some sort of blush on her face.
"Thank you, Shadow!" Twilight said as she gave me a hug.
"Thanks, Shadow." Fluttershy said softly.
"Ok two cute mares are hugging me because I gave them gifts." I thought to myself. "Wait, did I just say there cute?"
"Its getting late," Fluttershy said letting me go from the hug. "I'm going to head home now."
"Well bye, Fluttershy." I said as she got up.
Twilight then stoped hugging me, and got up and led Fluttershy to the door. I couldn't hear what they were saying but I noticed that Fluttershy covered her mouth and looked at me and blushed. She then turned around and walked out of the house. Twilight then walked back to the room.
"Its late, we should probably get to bed." Twilight said as she streched.
"You can stay here since you gave me the book." She said. "And because I hit you in the face with a door."
"You don't have to tell me twice." I said as I laid down on a nearby couch.
"Good night, Shadow." Twilight said as she walked up a set of stairs to which I assumed was her room.
"Good night, Twilight." I said back to her as my mind drifted into the realm of dreamland.
"Wake up." A voice said to me trying to wake me up. I pushed the sound away.
"Hey, wake up." I heard the voice say again poking me with what felt like a scaley finger. I pushed the hand away, not wanting to wake up.
"Come on. Wake up." The voice said with a angry voice. I guess I'm not getting any more sleep now. I opened my eyes, they slowly adjusted to the area and I found my self in the liabary home I fell asleep in.
"About time you woke up." The voice said now seeming relived. I look over to the right and was filled with fright.
"Ahh! A Dragon!" I said while flipping backwards out of the coach. I fell on the floor and rolled backwards on my back. I stopped rolling and was now looking back at the coach.
"Please don't set me on fire! Please!" I said while scooting backwards into a wall.
"Whats your deal." It said looking over the coach.
"Whats my deal?" I asked it. "Well theres a dragon right in front of me and I'm afraid to die!"
"Ok, first of all," It said as it jumped jumped down from the couch onto the floor. "My name is Spike, and I'm a baby dragon, and I would never harm anypony."
"Oh," I said feeling like an idiot. "Its nice to meet you Spike, my name is-"
"I already know your name," He said interrupting me. "Twilight wouldn't stop talking about you last night."
I was shocked. Twilight was talking about me? Wait maybe she was just talking about me as a friend, yeah a friend.
Spike's apperence was just a short dragon who walked on two legs, he had yellow and green scales. Weird he dosen't look like how I thought a dragon would look like. I stood up and dusted myself off, I then heard the sound of Twilight's voice.
"Spike! Did you wake Shadow up?" She asked as she walked down the staris.
"Yeah." Spike answered. "A little different then I thought he would wake up." Twilight then walked into the room and looked at me.
"Good moring Shadow." She said with a smile.
"Good moring Twilight." I said as I gave her a smile.
"So are you hungry?" She asked. Then suddenly my stomach started to growl. I held my stomach to silence it be it did less. I heard Twilight giggle by the sound.
"Come on, lets go to Sugar Cube Corner." She said as she grabbed my arm and pulled me to the door. "And, Spike." She said as she looked back at the dragon. "You can stay here and reorganize the books."
"Aw man." Spike said as if he has said that more than once. Before he could say anything else, Twilight shut the door to the liabary.
"Don't you think that was a little rude." I asked kinda shocked by her behavior.
"Not really," She said as she looked at me. "Its really a usally thing for us." I cocked my head to the side confused as how this was an everyday thing. She then pulled on my arm again trying to break me out of my thoughts.
"Are you hungry or not Shadow?" She said as if she was trying to make me go to some sort of party.
"Yeah Twilight, of course." I said as I got out of my thoughts.
--
We were walking down the street, when I happened to see Fluttershy with a little bunny on her shoulders.
"Fluttershy!" I called to her. She seemed to jump by my shout, but seemed to get a smile on her face as she relized it was me who shouted. She then walked over to us.
"Hi, Twilight. Hi Shadow." She said in a different type of voice than the day before. The other day she sounded very shy and nervous, but now she seems a bit confindent and happy about something.
"Hey, Fluttershy." Me and Twilight both said together at the same time. We all looked at each other and started to laugh.
"Fluttershy, would you like to head to Sugar Cube Corner with us?" Twilight asked as she calmed down from laughing.
"Actully, I was on my way there to get Angel a carrot sundae for him." She said as she looked over to her shoulder to the bunny who seemed to be the Angel she was talking about. The bunny looked at me and suddenly jumped from Fluttershy's shoulder and landed on my head.
"Angel!" Fluttershy said as she reached for the bunny. "Its rude to jump onto other ponies heads."
Though, as she was saying this Angel had nuzzled into my hair and fell asleep.
"Angel, get out of his hair right-"
"Its ok Fluttershy." I said while interupting her. "Hes kinda cute actully."
"Oh, if its fine with you." She said now seeming to forget about what had just happened.
"Well lets all head to Sugar Cube Corner." Twilight said.
--
After some more time of walking, we reached a house that appeared to look like a giant ginger bread house.
"Well, were here." Twilight said. I looked the building over and was confused on the structure.
"Why does it look like a giant gingerbread house?" I asked while pointing at the house.
"Its called, Sugar Cube Corner, for a reason Shadow." Fluttershy said as she slowly picked up the sleeping bunny, and taking him off my head. He resisted at first but he gave up, and was taken off my head.
"Wake up Angel." Fluttershy said softly said to wake him up. It was adorable the way she talked to him. The way her pink hair matched her fur. The way her slender body look in her yellow sweater. The way her pink tail swayed. Wait, TAIL!? I had never noticed a tail before, maybe because I'm not a pervert.
I looked over at Twilight, and saw a tail sawying at her flank. It was the same color of her hair, it to had a pink highlight in it.
"Shadow. You there?" Twilight said while poking my arm. I then shook my head and looked away blushing for staring at them.
"Yeah." I said while rubbing the back of my head. "Just um, daydreaming."
"Well since were here." Twilight said while pulling me into the store. As we entered the store my nose assulated me with many sweets.
"Pinkie! Are you here?" Twilight called out. When she said this, there was a sound of some pans being set down on a table. Suddenly it felt as if someone was breathing down my neck, I slowly turned my head around and was completely taken back.
"HI!" A pink colored mare right in my face. I screamed and fell backwards onto the ground.
"Pinkie." I heard both Twilight and Fluttershy say. I sat up and looked at the mare who had given me a heart attack.
"Whoopsie." She said in a bubbly voice. "I'm just so happy to meet another stallion is all."
"Wait, another stallion?" Twilight asked as Fluttershy helped me up to my feet.
"Oh right." She said shaking her head around. "I should probably introduce him." She then walked through a door that led behind a kitchen.
"What just happened?" I asked with a dumb struck face.
"Pinkie Pie just happened." Fluttershy said. I then heard some hushed chatter coming from behind the counter. Then the mare know as Pinkie Pie, came out with a stallion close behind.
"Hi." He said while waving at us. "Its always nice to meet new ponies." I for some reason couldn't stop and think about who he reminded me of. His appearence seemed so familar to me, he wore a dark blue jacket that had lockings on the sleaves. His fur was a much deeper color than the jacket, his hair seemed to be a bright shade of orange. I then saw a tail moving behind him it was the same as his hair, he also had a pair of wings attached to his back. The final thing I noticed was that his eyes were a mix of green and blue.
"My name is Knight." He said in a even more simular voice.
"Its nice to meet you Knight." Twilight said. "My name is Twilight Sparkle, and this is Fluttershy and Shadow."
"C~can I have a little chat with you Knight?" I asked him, with a glare.
"Sure." He said as he walked into the kitchen.
"Shadow." Twilight said with conseren in her voice. "What are you going to do?"
I looked over at her. "I just need to find some thing about him." I said as I walked into the kitchen.
As I walked in, I saw Knight eating a cupcake. "So, what do you want Shadow?" He asked as he ate the rest of the cupcake.
I looked him dead in the eyes. "Who are you?"
"Didn't I tell you already."
"Who are you?"
"I told you its Knight."
"I know its not your real name."
"How do you know?"
"Just answer me this."
"What?"
"Your name is Josh."
His eyes widen in horror. He started to breath heavily, I walked up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"The reason I know is because its me, Cameron."
"Cameron?" He said softly. He then pulled me into a bear hug. "I thought you were dead." He said while he stopped hugging me.
"I thought I would never see you again. If your here then Charels has got to be here to."
"Well I'm sure he will be here."
"Well let get back out the, I'm pretty sure Twilight thought I was going to kill you."
"Where would she get an idea like that?"
"Maybe its because the way I talked, I don't know really."
"Yeah, lets just get out of here." And with that we both exited the kitchen to the room we were previously in.
Twilight then ran up to my and looked me right in the face. "Shadow, what were you talking about in there?"
"Um, well from past history Knight here." I said as I punched him in the arm. "Are old friends, I'm just surprised that I ran into him."
"He an old friend?" Fluttershy said looking at Knight abd then back at me. "Were either of you in flight camp?"
"Uh, yeah except I droped out." I said while rubbing the back of my head. "But he graduated with ease."
"Oh, well that good to know." Twilight said as she picked up a muffin on the counter. "Would you like a muffin Shadow?"
"Muffins?" I stared at the muffin with content. "I would do anything for a muffin!" I then dropped to my knees and waited for an order to take.
"Um, how about you can just have the muffin." She said as she handed me the muffin. I then jumped up to my feet.
"Really?" I said, as I took the muffin. "Thanks, well I should be saying thanks to Pinkie for making the muffin right?"
"Actully." Pinkie said look at Knight. "Knighty here was the one who made the muffin." I could see a slight blush form onto Knight's face.
"Well, thanks Knight, if its ok with you can I get about ten more muffins." I asked as I bit into the muffin, it was absolute heaven when I bit into the muffin.
Knight and Pinkie then walked into the kitchen.
"Shadow?" Fluttershy said getting my attention.
"Yeah Fluttershy?" I asked as I gobbled down the rest of my muffin.
"Well I forgot to ask them to get Angel's sudae so could you take him back into the kitchen and ask for me?" She asked kinda souding a bit nervous.
"Sure Fluttershy, I'll get his sudae." I answer to her. Suddenly Angel jumped out and landed onto my shoulder, he then began the lay down on my shoulder.
"I guess hes already warmed up to the idea." I said with a chuckle. "I'll be right back."
I then walked into the kitchen with Angel riding on my shoulder. When I walked in I saw Pinkie handing Knight muffins as he placed them into a bag.
"Oh, is there something you need Shadow?" Pinkie asked as she stopped handing Knight muffins.
"Fluttershy forgot to ask for a carrot sundae for Angle." I told them as I pointed to the bunny.
"Oh another one of those, thats easy." She said as she suddenly handed me a class cup sundae with a carrot sticking out. I looked at Pinkie in shock, I shook it off as I felt a huge sense of dejavu happened. I then handed angel the sundae and he started to gobble it down.
Pinkie then handed me a bag, I then looked inside the bag and saw ten muffins inside.
"Thank you Pinkie and Knight." I thanked them as I walked back out of the room.
Before I could walk out Angel waved his paw in front of my face.
"What is it Angel?" I asked him. He had apperently finished the rest of his sundae already.
"Wow, you must have been hungry." I said as I took the empty glass out of his paw and placed it on a nearby counter. I then walked back over to the door but Angel waved his paw in front of my face again.
"What is it now?" I asked him. He then pointed at the door, I opened it slightly and saw Fluttershy and Twilight talking. Angel then pointed at Fluttershy, then he pulled me into the kitchen again, and then pointed at me. He then made a kissy face.
"Are you saying that, F-Fluttershy want to..." I trailed off on my words unable to finish the sentence. Angel then nodded in answering my question.
"Ok lets just get out of here." I said as I walked out of the kitchen.
"Did Angel get his sundae?" Fluttershy asked me as she took Angel into her hands.
"Yeah, he ate it really fast though." I told her as I thought back at how fast he ate it.
"I see you also got your muffins." Twilight said as she looked at the bag.
"Yeah, tasty muffins." I said as I took out a muffin and took a bite out of it.
"Well lets head back to the liabary now." Twilight said as she opened the door out.
I walked out of the store with Twilight and Fluttershy close behind. I was so happy to finally know that one of my friends were here, I just hope Charles is here.
"Well that most certainly was, interesting." I said as me, Angel, Twilight, and Fluttershy reached the liabary.
"It most certainly was." Twilight said as she opened the door and we all walked inside. I placed the bag with now only three muffins inside on a table. I had eaten most of the muffins, thanks to my absolute love for them, on the way back to Twilight's house.
"Hey, Shadow." Twilight said as she walked to a door. She opened it a bit and gestured me towards the door.
"What is it Twilight?" I asked as I walked into the room. Twilight then turned to me.
She got close to me and looked me dead in the eyes. All I did was blush, I felt it form on my face because of her sudden actions. She then chuckled and pinched my cheeks, she slowly backed up with a sly smile on her face.
She then gave me a wink as she left the room leaving me in complete shock. Many questions ran through my mind.
Does she like me, more than a friend? What did she like about me? How could she like me?
I shook my head, knowing that I'm not getting an answer. I walked out of the room to see Twilight and Fluttershy having a discussion, I walked over to the door out of the house.
"Twilight!" I called to her from the door. "I'm going to have a look around town."
"All right, have fun Shadow." She said from the other room.
"Be back soon." Fluttershy said as I opened the door.
"I'll be sure to hurry." I said as I walked out and prepared myself for the endurence I was about to go through.
--
"Ok. Focus." I kept telling myself trying to prepare for flying. I had atleast walked a good distance from PonyVille so no one would see me.
I kept imagining myself flying through the sky, over and over. But I couldn't think of any method of moving my new appendeges.
I sat down at a single tree in a open field, the shade was nice and cool. I looked at my wings and thought, thought, and thought. I needed inspiration.
I looked around the area to locate the nearest cliff.
--
I had walked a few miles to reach the cliff I had located on the ground level. I walked carefully to the end of the clift and looked over the ledge.
I was probably going to die if I would jump from here, which was exactly what I was going to do.
"Ok." I said as my breathing increased. "Just, jump off and hope it works."
I was now starting to have second thoughts of the idea, knowing if this dosen't work I would...
"No!" I said shaking my fear away. I then took big deep breaths to reasure myself that I'll survive.
I then started walking backwards to get a good jump. I was a good destance from the ledge and was ready to jump. I started to walk, I then picked up speed and to a jog. I now was sprinting towards the edge. I then took a leap of faith, Ezio style.
I was free falling through the sky, looking at the closely approaching ground. I looked over my shoulder and looked at my wings.
"Come on! Move!" I shouted at them, they were not move to my body actions to move them. I then relized that if body actions didn't work, I should vizulize my wings carrying me though the air.
Suddenly my wings opened up like a glider and as I was falling I started to pull upwards. I then started to go straight and was gliding through the air now, I was desending towards teh ground so I gave my wings a flap and I accended more into the air.
"This is the most single greatest day of my life!" I shouted as I soared through the sky. Though all good things must come to an end, and the way it decided to end is by knocking me into a tree and then unconcious fell upon me.
--
I woke up to the sound of some ponies arguing.
"Well I need him fer help with the barn!" A western voice said angerly.
"Well I need him to model an outfit for me!" A very fancy sounding voice shouted.
"Do I get a say in this?" Another western voice asked.
"Quiet, Sliver!" Both the voices said to the third. I then opened my eyes a found out that I was in a tree, probably because of my flight problem.
I looked under me from the branch I was on to see two mares arguing about who gets to use a stallion I saw standing off to the side.
"Well I don't care if ya need him fer fashion, I need him to help with apple buckin!' The mare wearing a stearnson hat said.
"Well theres no way a stallion of his class should be on a farm!' The mare wearing a very fancy looking outfit said.
"Rarity, I need him!" The western mare shouted at the fancy one. She seemed to be very, very western with an orange coat. She reamined me of the two person personality friend I know.
"There are way to many trees for me and Big Mac to harvest." She shouted as she pointed to an orcid of trees. She then walked over to the tree I was in and gave it a big kick. The force of the kick had shaken the tree and made me fall out of it.
I landed on the ground with a loud thud and I was face down in the dirt. I pushed up from the ground and met three sets eyes staring at me. I then pushed myself up to one knee and they were still looking at me.
"Who the hay are ya!" The orange mare said as she yelled right in my face. The shout made me fall back onto my rear and hit the trunk of the tree.
"I-I-" Was all I could choke out from the fear of being beaten.
"Ya got ten seconds tah tell me what ya were doing in mah trees!" She said while cracking her knuckles.
"Um, AJ." The stallion in the sliver jacket said as he placed a hand on her shoulder. "You probably scared him half to death by threating him." His jacket was consisted of many lighting bolts all across his chest. He also had a horn to match it.
He then walked over to me and crouched down with a concerned look on his face.
"Are ya alright?" He said in a very familiar western voice. He streched his hand out for me to take it. I nodded and took his hand.
"Hang on, you have a big cut on your cheek." He said while his voice changed from a western style voice, to a fancy voice.
I put my hand onto my cheek and felt something wet. I removed my hand and saw my cheek bleeding.
"Darn wings." I said as I clenched my hands.
"Woah there." He said as he took a bandage out. "There is no need to get worked up over it."
"Sliver!" The western girl shouted. "Why are you helping him?"
"AppleJack, you don't even know his name." The fancy looking mare said.
"Fine." The mare know as AppleJack said. "Whats yer name then."
"Its Shadow, Shadow Flame." I said while looking at the three of them.
"Well its nice to meet you Shadow." The mare know as Rarity said. "My name is Rarity."
"Her name is AppleJack." Rarity said pointing at AppleJack. AppleJack then looked at me with a death stare that felt it pirce my body.
"My name is Silver Lighting." The stallion said with big gusto. No matter what he said he couldn't stop reminding me of him.
"Oh, you might want this." Silver said as he handed me the bandage. I looked at it and looked back at him.
"Would you really just help a complete stranger." I asked shocked at the offer.
"Well I wouldn't!" AppleJack said giving me another death glare.
"Sorry, I never ment to crash into your tree. I was just looking at the town and then I would head back to Twilight's house." I shouted. I hated of being accused of a bad person, always haved.
"Wait, did you say Twilight." She asked with a confused look.
"Yeah, I did." I said as I finally took the bandage Silver had offered me.
"Well any friend of Twilight's is a friend to me." She said streching out her hand for me to shake. I examined her hand and looked back at her confused. I slowly took her hand into mine and shook it.
"Mighty sorry fer the rude start of things." She said as she stopped shaking my hand.
"Its fine, just that I know your sorry." I said while applying the bandage to the cut on my face.
"Hey, Silver." I said as I finished with the bandage. "Could I ask you a few questions?" I looked at the mares. "In private."
"Yeah sure." He said as he walked past a few trees and stopped. I then walked over to him and got in front of him, I looked back at the mares to see them continuing there arguement.
"Just one thing." I told him in a serious voice. "It you Charels?"
His eyes went widen to the metion of the name. He then chuckled a little.
"I was hoping I wasn't the only one here."
"Well Josh is here as well."
"Well thats great to know, I was begging to think that you both were dead or something."
"Yeah, still surprised everyones a pony?"
"I nearly lost it."
"Same here."
"Well I'm going to leave now maybe that crazy Pinkie Pie girl will throw us all a party." I then spread my wings ready to fly.
"Well I see you later then, Shadow." He said with a chuckle as I took flight.
"I'll see you later, Silver." I waved to him as I flew off back to Twilight's house.
--
As I was flying through the air I saw I was close to the area I had trained in. I saw then tree I took refuge under and saw something sparkle under it.
Interested by what it was I flew back down to the ground. I then saw a red like stone under the tree, I walked to the tree and got to one knee to examine it more clearly.
I decided to pick it up, it was very warm to the touch, the stone was atleast the size of my hand. I turned the stone over to see writing onto it.
The Flames will carry you forward.
The Flames? I asked myseld what it meant over and over. Though as I was holding the stone it felt like it was getting warmer in my hands.
Suddenly, the rock turned over and lanuched its self into my chest. The force knocked be onto my flank and stuck onto my chest. It then started to glow and mush into my chest, fire like veins then formed from my chest and kept moving in.
I tried to pull it out but the more I did the more force it went into me. Then, it merged into my chest finally, leaving a strain of slowly fading fire veins on my body.
I then began to feel light headed and fell onto my back. I was staring up at the sky, my vision slowly improved to a strange reason.
Hello? Is this thing working?
I then picked my head up and looked at my surroundings. The voice was a mans voice and it sounded lost or trying to get some one.
"Is there anyone there?" I asked while rising to my feet.
Splendid! It worked!
"Who are you?" I said spinning around. "And. where are you?"
Ah, yes I must explain. I my dear friend have found a very important artifact. One that finds a host and attaches its self to them. Once it has, their abilites enhance largely.
"What are you saying." I clenched the sides of my head hoping I wasn't crazy.
Well, the main thing I'm trying to say is, you found a fire stone.
"Ok, so what your telling me is that there are other stones like the fire stone, and it merges with a body already with some of that element inside of them, like how I was able to burn those gifts into thin air." I asked my new friend in my head.
"Yes, though it drains and tires you out." He simply said. Ok I picked up a stone and it jumped into my body and now I have enhanced senses and fire.
"You know I can here your thoughts." He said gently. I sighed and looked around the area, I then looked at the tree I had found the stone.
"So do you have a name?" I asked him mentaly in my thoughts.
"Well most ponies called me, Shade." He said as his voice sounded dramatic on the word "Shade".
"Ok so what are you exactly?"
"Well what most of us are called are A.I. units."
"So your just a little helper for me or something."
"When you put it like that, yes."
I took a deep breath and sighed again.
"Well at least I'm stonger than I was, I've always wanted to control fire."
"Yeah I already know, I can look at your memories and thoughts."
"Well, just don't say anything smart about me."
"You got it."
"Man, already here a day and I have powers, I can't wait to tell everyone."
"Wait, you can't tell a single soul about this."
"Well that sucks."
"Its a secret hard to keep."
"Well for right now I should probably get back to Twili-" I then stopped thinking and looked up at the sun. It was now in a it's mid-day section.
"I've been gone for way to long." I said out loud as I opened my wings and flew up into the air.
"Oh thats right, Twilight Sparkle. She has a thing for you." Shade said as I reaced the town.
"What are you talking about?" I asked as I spotted the liabary.
"Fluttershy, too."
"What do you mean." I questioned him as I landed in front of the house. He then left out a chuckle.
"You'll know eventully."
"Tell Me!" I said out loud. I then looked around and made sure no one heard me, luckly no one ws around.
"What is it?!" I asked quietly at him. Unfortunely he had stopped talking and I could tell. I then opened the door to the liabary to see Fluttershy sleeping soundly on the couch and Twilight reading a book. She then looked up from the book and looked at me. A smile then formed on her face.
"Shadow, your back." She then got up and walked over to me. "What happend to your cheek?"
"I was flying around and crashed landed in a tree." I said as I rubbed my cheek. "Plus I found another old friend on some sort of farm."
"You mean Sweet Apple Acres. I guess he made friends with AppleJack."
"There was also a girl who seemed to need him for a design with a suit, I think."
"Rarity was there to." She then looked like she went into thought about something.
"If you don't mind, I would like a few question about your ability with fire, like how you got me that book and Fluttershy those flowers."
Don't Say A Thing!
"Um I'll try and answer a few." I said while thinking over my words to what Shade said.
"Great, just have a seat." She said as she levitated a notepad into her hand and sat back on the couch Fluttershy was sleeping in. I sat across from them on a seperate couch.
"Ok, first question." She said as she clicked a pen. "How did you make the gifts for us?"
Don't you dare!
"Well, I thought of something nice for you and I looked around and saw the books. It reminded me of the book and suddenly it popped there, same with the roses."
Thats, good enough.
"Alright." She said as she scribbled down some notes. "How do you explain the marking on your hand."
I then looked at my hand and removed the glove that consealed it. "I can't really explain the marking either. I think it got on my hand when I was in that creepy forest."
That ones good to.
"Ok." She said as she looked at my hand. She then scribbled down some more notes. "So your saying you were in the Everfree forest?"
"I don't know what the place was called actuly, I just woke up in it and made my way to this town."
"One last question." She said as she clicked the pen. "Can you just close your eyes for a second."
"Um, ok." I said confused. I then closed my eyes, I heard the sound of her standing up from the couch. I then heard footsteps walking closer to me. I was about to open my eyes but my mind wouldn't let me.
Suddenly it felt as if someone was breathing on my face. I felt a blush quickly form on my face for what was about to happen.
"Ok, you can open your eyes." I heard Twilight say sofly. I slowly opened my eyes to see a pair of purple eyes staring back at me. My mind froze. I didn't really know how to react. She then let out a giggle and backed away from me.
"Your so cute when your blushing." She said as she sat back down.
Thats what I meant by having a thing for you.
"Not now." I said mentaly.
"Hang on where Spike." I said already trying to forget what happend. Twilight was already reading the book again, but was able to answer me.
"All the reorganizing tired him out, hes been sleeping." She said still reading.
I let out the breath I had held when Twilight was in my face and finally breathed in. I then layed down on the couch for a small nap.
--
"Come on Shadow, you have got to be enjoying this." I heard Twilight sat in my dreams. She was giving me a relaxing massage.
"Twilight may I try something." I heard the soft voice say. I then felt Twilight's hands lift off my shoulders, and Fluttershy's hand take place onto my shoulders.
"I have to thank you girls." I said as my mind felt blliss.
"Theres no need." I heard Twilight say. I felt Fluttershy's hands slowly drift down near my wings.
"I really should though." I said in sweet relief.
"Well how about this." I then felt Fluttershy's hand rub a sensitive part of my wings and a wave of plesure ran through my body.
"W-what are you doing." I asked, breathlessly.
"Oh someones a little sensitive." I heard Twilight voice say softly. Twilight then lifted my head and I met her eyes. She then inched closer to me and closed it in a kiss. It was a passionet kiss and soft, I then felt her tounge wanting acess to my mouth. I opened my mouth and felt her explore the inside of my mouth, I then began to tounge wrestle with her. She then pulled away from the kiss.
"You enjoying yourself now?" Twilight asked with a cute smile. The entire time Fluttershy had been rubbing my wings.
"Twilight, can I have a turn?" Fluttershy said as she stopped rubbing my wings.
"Yeah, I also want to try something." Twilight then walked behind me and Fluttershy stepped in front of me. Fluttershy then sat on my lap and wraped her arm around my neck and kissed my softly. I then brought my tounge out and licked her lips, she parted them and allowed me to enter.
Twilight had continued what Fluttershy had down and started to rub my wings, except she was using her magic to massasge both of my wings whole. The plesure was overwelming for me I let out a moan in Fluttershy's mouth and she pulled away from the kiss.
Twilight stopped massaging my wings and walk around the front of me and both Fluttershy and Twilight gave me a seductive look.
--
Suddenly I woke up from the dream and was sweating like crazy. I was looking around the room and it appeared to be around night time.
I layed back down and stared at the ceiling shocked at what I had just dreamt. I had feelings for both Twilight and Fluttershy.
Did you enjoy the dream.
"Did you have something to do with that?"
Not much all I did was open your ture feelings for them.
"This just makes me feel awkward."
Maybe, but thats how you really feel for them.
"I know, that is what makes it weird."
Well, know this thay feel the same for you.
"How so?"
Even though they've only know you for a short time, they developed a liking towards you.
"So how should I act?"
For now just act the way you are now, just wait till something happens more.
"You already a good friend Shade."
Thanks Shadow, most people I've merged with have just been complete jerks.
"How old are you exactly?"
About one thousand years old, give or take.
"Well thats nice to know at least."
Just go back to sleep, I can hold back the dreams if you want me to.
"No, just let them happen."
Ok what ever you say.
I then closed my eyes and was ready for a type of dream I was now going to enjoy.
"Oh Shadow." I heard a soft voice in my sleep say. I opened my eyes to see Twilight standing over me with a smile.
"Did you sleep well Shadow?" She asked as she backed up and let me sit up. I recalled to what dream I had last night.
"Yeah a great sleep." I said as I stood up and streached. "A interesting one, infact."
"I'm glad to hear that." She said. "So is there anything your going to do today?"
"Nothing important, why do you ask?"
"Oh, no reason."
Then there was a knock on the door, I wondered who it was. "I'll get it Twilight." I said as I walked over to the door. I opened it to see Fluttershy with a smile.
"Hi Shadow." She said as she gave me a hug. She quickly backed away with a small blush on her face. "Sorry, is Twilight here?"
"Um, yeah shes inside." I said as I pointed inside and stepped out of the doorway. Fluttershy nodded and walked inside. I closed the door and walked back to the room.
"So is it planned, Twilight." Fluttershy said as I walked in the room. Twilight then placed a hand over Fluttershy's mouth to keep her quiet.
"Whats planned?" I asked in confusing.
"Its nothing." Twilight said removing her hand from her mouth.
"Sorry." Fluttershy said to Twilight. "We'll talk about it later, Fluttershy." Twilight said.
"Um, Shadow can you do us a favor?" Twilight asked as she walked up to me.
"What is it?" I asked hoping it wouldn't be bad. "Can you go and get your friends and come back here."
"Uh, What for exactly?" I asked wondering what she needed them for.
"Oh, um." She pondered at a reason to come up with. She then perked up and walked over to Fluttershy and whispered something tp her. Fluttershy then looked at Twilight in shock and back at me, she then sighed and slowly walked up to me.
She got close to me and gave me a set of bedroom eyes. I felt a huge blush form onto my face and I closed my eyes.
"Ok, I'll go." I said with my eyes still closed. I then felt Fluttershy breath out, onto my face. I opened my eyes to see that Fluttershy had backed away with a big blush on her face. I then turned around and headed for the door.
"Oh and Shadow, take your time." Twilight said as I opened the door. I looked back and nodded, and then I walked out of the house. But before I closed the door I heard the sound of Fluttershy say. "Is it going to be as hard as last time?"
I then closed the door with a blank expression on my face and looked off at the town.
Well your going to have fun.
"Shut up!"
--
I decided I should head to Sugar Cube Corner first, knowing thats the only place I know to look for Knight. I arrived at Sugar Cube Corner and noticed that a sign on the door. The shop was apparently closed.
"Where could he be?" I asked myself as I looked through the window. It was dark inside and I couldn't tell if anyone was in there.
Have you tried looking up?
I heard Shade say dumbly. I looked up to see a cloud floating above me, I listened closely to what was above me and heard a familiar voice.
"Rainbow, quit being a tease."
I tilted my head to make sure I heard correctly of what the voice said. The voice had came from Knight, but whos this "Rainbow"?
I flew up in the air to get closer to the cloud, as I got closer I kept hear Knight giggling. I finally reached the cloud and held onto the side of the cloud. I saw Knight being tickled by a cyan colored mare.
"Knight?" I asked now climbing onto the cloud. They both jumped and were now sitting and staring at me. "Am I interrupting something?"
"What, no, no, no." Knight said as he stood up. "We were just um, having a tickle fight."
"Yeah, just a tickle fight." The cyan mare said also standing up. "So who are you."
"This is Shadow, the guy I was talking about." Knight said to her explaining who I was. "And Shadow, this is Rainbow Dash.
"Um, its nice to meet you, Rainbow Dash." I said exstending my hand to her. She then took a firm grip on my hand and shook it.
"Yeah, same to you. Why are you here anyway?" She asked letting go of my hand.
"Twilight sent me to get everyone for something, I don't know why." I told her as I thought back to how it happened. "She wants you to go to the liabary."
"Yeah we'll go, right Rainbow?" Knight said as he looked over to Rainbow Dash.
"Yeah, lets go." Rainbow Dash said as she and Knight flew off towards the liabary.
I watched as they flew off and marked one person off my list, to go get. Now I just need to go and get Silver.
--
After some flying around I spotted Sweet Apple Acres. I then landed on the ground and found myself at the entrence of the barn. I looked inside of the barn to not see anyone inside. I then continued to walk around, until I heard someone talking.
I walked around a tree to see AppleJack talking to Silver. I got an idea and decided to sneek up and find out what will happen. I jumped into the tree and continued to climb across the trees to reach the two. Conner style.
I was atleast three trees away from them and was able to hear them.
"What makes ya think that I'll let ya use magic on my farm?" She said getting in his face.
"I-I just thought it would be a lot easier. Is all." Silver said as he back up into a tree. She seemed to be angry but happy both at the same time.
"Ya know I got tah punish ya, right?" She said as she got closer to him.
"AppleJack, w-what are you doing?" Silver said in a very frighten voice. AppleJack then kissed him on the cheek. Silver then froze from it, his grey face did little to hide the blush on his face. AppleJack then giggled and backed away from him.
I decided to help him out.
"Hey, Silver!" I said as I jumped down from the tree . AppleJack turned around quickly to look at me in shock. Silver was still frozen from shock as well. "Silver, you ok?" He then shook his head and looked at me with a blush still on his face.
"Yeah, I'm fine." He said rubbing his cheek. "So what brings ya here Shadow?" AppleJack said with a concerned look.
"Twilight told me to get everyone and meet at the liabary." I explained again.
"We'll be there." Silver said as he stood next to AppleJack. I gave them a nod and flew off into the sky not wanting to get in trouble for interrupting what AppleJack had done.
I landed on a cloud far away from the farm so I could rest, already two days here and were already being...well I guess it's not a bad thing if he all enjoy them, I think.
Yeah, you think.
"Is now really the time for this Shade?"
I thought I could have possiblely helped you with this problem, but if you don't want my help.
"What would you have in planned?"
Oh nothing to big, just an ability to read minds.
"Wait, you can do that?"
Fire isn't the only thing I took enjoyment in, I also tried mind mentals.
"So would that drain me or something a lot faster?"
Yes, it would take a lot of energy to do it.
"Ok, we'll only try it this once and see what happens."
Your the boss.
--
I was flying over PonyVille looking down at the small peaceful town in admiration of it's beauty. I then flew down and saw the liabary with Knight and Silver waiting out side, I landed in front of the building.
"Bout time ya made it." Silver said as I walked up to the door.
"Don't get your head in a scuffle Silver."
"So do you guys know why we're here?" Knight asked.
"No clue." I answered pushing on the door. For some reason it wouldn't open, I pushed harder on the door. Still woudn't budge. I then knocked on the door.
"Twilight, you in there?" I called. Then was a sound of shuffling in the house, I looked at Knight and Silver who gave me shrugs.
"You all can come in!" Twilight shouted from behind the door. I pushed on the door again and this time it opened, we all stepped in and saw the lights were out.
"Let me try something." I said as I opened my hand, a small fire ball erupted in my hand and gave us some light.
"Cool." I heard Knight say behind me as I waved the flame around. Suddenly the lights came on and there was a loud cheer.
"SURPRISE!"
Silver, Knight and me all shouted in unsion as the scare came to us, our screams slowly died down.
"What is all this." Silver asked looking at the decreations.
"It's a party for you guys!" Pinkie Pie said popping from behind Knight. "Oooo, a party!" Knight cheered.
"So do you girls usally give parties to new ponies in town?" I asked confused with all the work down.
"It's a usal thing now." Twilight answered. "Oh." I blankly replied.
"Enough chit-chat! It's time to party!" Rainbow Dash said as she hit a button on a speaker that pumped out music.
And then the party began.
--
It had to have been hours since the party had started, the sun was now setting but the party was just starting.
"Time for some party games!" Pinkie shouted as she cut the music off.
"Pinkie I was starting to have fun." Rainbow Dash protested. Pinkie then ran into Twilight's kitchen and came out with a bottle.
"Why do we need the bottle?" Knight asked taking the bottle.
"Because, its going to be used to pick the person there going to Truth or Dare." Pinkie explained. Everyone started to sit in a circle.
I joined them and sat inbetween Flutteryshy and Twilight. Pinkie then walked over and sat down next to Kight and Rainbow Dash. Silver was already seated and was next to Rarity and AppleJack. Pinkie then placed the bottle down and spun it around.
It then landed on Knight. "Ok Knight, Truth or Dare?"
"Truth." He said. Pinkie then went into thought, she then got a smile on her face."Which do you perfer? choclate or vanilla?"
"Choclate." Knight said as he spun the bottle. It then landed on me. "Shadow, Truth or Dare?"
"Dare."
"I dare you, to take a bottle of cider and drink it all in one minute." He said as he handed me a bottle of cider.
"Is that all? Easy." I said as I took the bottle. I popped the cork and took a gulp, it was sweet. I then took another swig and began to chug the rest of it down. I then fiished the drink and made a large burp.
"As I said easy." I said placing the bottle behind me, I then spun the bottle and it slowly landed on AppleJack. A smirk slowly made its way onto my face. "AppleJack, Truth or Dare?"
"Um, truth." She said scared of her answer.
"I want you to tell me what caused Silver to blush when I got to Sweet Apple Acres."
A blush then formed onto both AppleJack and Silver's face. "Well I, um kinda...kissed him." She said looking down. Everyone then let out small snickers from the news. AppleJack then gave me a a death glare and I got a little worried from the look.
She then took the bottle and gave it a hard spin, it then landed on Twilight. "Twilight, Truth or Dare."
"Dare." She said with a smirk. "I dare ya tah take Shadow in that closet for twenty minutes." AppleJack said pointing at a nearby closet.
My eyes widen to what she had just said. I then looked at Twilight who still had the same expression on her face. "Alright." Twilight said as she stood up. "Coming, Shadow?"
I closed my eyes and breathed out, knowing no way out I stood up and followed Twilight into the closet. She then closed the door and then looked at me.
"Sit." She said.
"Um, what?"
"I said 'sit'."
I then followed her orders and sat down, I was wondering what she had planned for me. She then walked behind me.
"Ok, first off, just because we're in here doesn't mean I'm going to have my way with you, yet." She said putting her hands onto my shoulders, I shivered from her touch.
"But that doesn't mean anything for later though."
Having fun?
"Not now Shade!"
"I've always thought you were kinda cute, nice, kind. I guess that's why Fluttershy also has a interest in you." She said with a giggle.
"Wait, Fluttershy like me to?" I asked wanting to know more.
"She didn't really want me to tell you though, so can I make sure that you won't tell her." She said sinking her hands deeper into my shoulders.
"I won't say anything." I groaned out from the feel. She then leaned over my shoulder until she was next to my ear.
"How can I make sure?" She whispered into my ear as she tighten her grip.
"I promise, I won't tell." I Stuggles out to say.
"Ok, I just need one thing to take your word." She said as I felt one of her hand go down to my wings. She then plucked one of my feathers, it was a mixture of pain and pleasure, I let out a soft moan.
"Little sensitive aren't you." She said with a giggle.
"I'm never playing Truth or Dare again." I said dropping my head. Twilight then let go of my shoulders and walked to the front of me, she then picked up my head and brought my eyes to meet hers.
"Just be happy I didn't do what I had planned for you."
She then let go of my chin and walked over to the door. "Come on, it's been twenty minutes."
I looked at her and then stood up, confused for what had now just happened.
"Just one more thing before we walk out, I have to do something." She said as she let go of the knob. She then walked over to me and kissed me on the cheek. I felt my face burn furiously like it was on fire.
"Just had to do that." She said opening the door, I followed close behind.
"So, did ya'll have f-"
"Done!" I said walking out of the room.
"What, we just started playing." Pinkie said in disbelive.
"Done!" I reapeated.
I then sat down in the couch, exhausted from the day. "Shadow?" I heard a timid voice say, I looked over to my right to see Fluttershy standing there.
I gave her a small wave and leaned my head on the back of the couch.
"Is there something wrong?" She asked as she sat down next to me.
"Just tired is all." I answered not lifting my head.
"Do you want to go for a walk, I mean if you don't want to."
I picked my head up and looked looked at her with a smile. "A walk would be nice, want to come with?"
"Um, ok, if you don't mind." She said softly.
I then stood up and walked over to the door, I looked behind me to see Fluttershy close behind me. I then opened the door and went into the beautiful night.
--
"This place is peaceful." Fluttershy said as we both sat on a bench in front of a pond.
"Very." I said admiring the water and moon. Fluttershy then moved closer to me but I took no notice.
"Your warm." She said moving closer.
"Are you cold, Fluttershy?" I asked looking at her, she had a small blush on her yellow face, She then nodded.
"Here." I said as I wraped my arm around her, she let out a small 'Epp' sound. It was so adorable.
She then slowly nuzzled her way closer to me. "Your very kind, Shadow."
"Your welcome Fluttershy."
"Um, Shadow?"
"What is it?" I said looking down at her.
"I think I-I...nothing." She said looking away from me. She then layed her her onto my shoulder. Why is it always the shoulder?
I looked back out at the water. I could hear Fluttershy breathing heavily, she then pulled my arm off of her and stood up.
"Fluttershy?" I asked as she took a few steps away from the bench. I stood up and stood behind her.
"Fluttershy, are you ok?"
"I can't take it anymore!" She said as she quickly turned around. She then tackled me to the ground a massive blush taking up most of her face.
She then brought her muzzle to meet mine. It was a passionate kiss, my eyes handed widen from what was happening but her eyes her closed.
She then pulled back from the kiss and stared into my eyes, her face then filled with shock for what she had just done. She quickly got off of me and flew off into the distance.
I propped myself up on my elbows staring of to where she flew of, I was only asking myself one question.
What Just Happened!
What to do, Oh What to do
I was sitting on the ground staring off to where Fluttershy flew to. Fluttershy had just kissed me, though it was shocking, i enjoyed it. It was a soft kiss, I couldn't explain what had happened, but I wanted it to happen again.
Did you have any fun?
"Lots of fun."
Need anything?
"No."
Ok, you might either want to go after her or go back to the liabary.
I stood up and looked at the back to the liabary, then to where Fluttershy flew off. I had made my decision. I want to go to Fluttershy.
I jumped in the air and followed to where Fluttershy flew, hoping to see her again. I didn't know where she lived, but I was determind to find out.
I was flying through the air until I reached a forest.
"Oh great, its the same freaking forest!" I said as I landed at the border of it. I stared at it, I couldn't see far but I knew Fluttershy flew here. I walked into the forest in search for her.
--
I was walking in the forest unable to see anything, so I held my hand open and a small flame popped out emiting light for me to see. It was still hard to see but it was a little brighter.
I continued to look for Fluttershy until I triped and fell right on my face. I groaned in pain as I push myself off the ground. I then heard a deep low growl.
I looked up to see a pair of eyes staring at me, I got up as quickly as I could and was looking at the eyes. It then jumped out and let out a roar. It was a monster of complete horror.
It had a body of a lion, a pair of bat wing and a scopion tail. I was frozen with fear not knowing what to do but run away, or accept my fate.
I jumped in the air and tried to fly away, but the creature also jumped and clawed my side and I fell to the ground.
I held my side in pain, I held my hand to my face and saw I was bleeding. I held my side again and stood up, I looked back at the creature and I slowly backed away. I was walking towards me, growling with hunger.
I was about to turn and run, but the thing launched itself at me and clawed my chest. I yelled in pain and I fell to on knee, holding both my chest and side. I looked up at the creature, it then clawed my arm it caused me to fall to the ground.
I held my eyes shut trying to ignore the pain, I felt the breath of the creature on my face. I then acceptd my fate.
"What are you doing!?" I heard a familiar voice say. "You know its not right to eat other things."
The creature let a soft growl out and backed away from me, I felt relief run through my body.
"I just hope what ever you hurt is o-" Was all I heard out of her. I heard someone running over to me.
"Shadow! Shadow! Are you ok." She said as she pulled me into her arms.I opened one of my eyes and looked to see a concerned Fluttershy holding me close.
"Y-yeah F-Fluttershy, I'm fine." I choked out as darkness was forming around me. I chuckle a little, think about what is happening. "You know Fluttershy its, funny. I came here to be with you, and I am. A little beaten but."
"Shadow, don't talk. Save your energy." She said holding me closer. Tears had begun to form in her eyes. I brought my hand to her face and brushed the tears away.
"Don't cry Fluttershy." I said as the darkness slowly came closer. I blinked and felt my vision getting darker. I finally closed my eyes and finally let the darkness in.
--
Darkness, darkness was all I could see. Though it was a wet darkness, I felt awake but not alive.
"Am I dead?" I asked myself looking around at nothing.
No your just in your inner mind.
I looked in front of me to see a stallion wearing a red suit. He had a white fur coat and flame like eyes, a scar across his left eye. I tilted my head because he was the only other person here who could have talked.
"Shade?" I asked moving closer.
The one and only.
"W-what happened?"
Well, when someone carrying an element stone in their body, have a close death experience which causes them to enter their inner thoughts.
"So how do I get out?"
Whoa, slow down there, you just got here. You can't leave with out finding out a ability.
"What do you mean?"
Well take the fire thing you've done.
He then opened his hand and a small fire ball erupted from his hand.
Like this, I can manipulate fire, I can also manipulate it with the body.
The fire then went into his hand and his arm caught on fire, but it quickly stopped as his arm turned into a giant blade. I stared at his arm in amazement, he chuckled and walked up to me.
All theses powers could be your but for now you have to wait.
He brought the blade up to my face and held the sharp part to my cheek.
Just known this, never turn your back on me.
--
I woke up sitting up quickly, I was breathing heavily from what I had experienced. What was Shade talking about?
"Shadow!" I heard Fluttershy say, she then ran over to me and pulled me into a hug. I was confused for what was happening, but I didn't care. I returned the hug and Fluttershy had began to cry again. I pulled her back and wiped her tears away.
"I told you not to cry." I told her again. She let out a soft giggle, she then looked over my body. I looked down and noticed my shirt was gone and replaced with bandeges over my sides and chest.
"Thanks for helping me Fluttershy." I said as I held my wounds.
"It was nothing really, I thought you were dead though."
I looked around the room I woke up in and noticed that I was in a small cottage like home.
"Is this your home?" I asked looking at her.
"Yeah, I took you here to help you."
I pulled Fluttershy close and gave her another hug. She gladly returned the hug, I was happy to me with her. She then pulled away and looked into my eyes with a blush on her face.
"Um, about what happened, when we were at that pond. I just..." She trailed off on her words. She was looking away, trying to hide her blush.
"I found you very kind, you weren't to demanding with things. And your really cute, I just couldn't resist anymore." She said as she looked back into my eyes.
She moved closer to me and connected our lips. Again it was a soft kiss, I enjoyed the feeling and kissed her back. I didn't want to put to much force into the kiss not wanting to seem like a freak.
She eventully pulled back with a small blush and a smile on her face.
"Was that ok?"
"It was just fine Fluttershy." I said as I gave her a hug.
All I knew now is that I was happy to be with her, but my mind thought back to what Twilight would say.
I was hugging Fluttershy for a while but eventully we had to stop. I asked how long I had been out since I was attacked, it had been two hours since then.
Fluttershy told me how happy she was that I was ok, she would have been devistaed if I kicked the bucket. I told her that I'm not going any where.
I stood up wanting to strech my muscels, Fluttershy gladly helped me stand. I was aching all over my body, it had felt as if I was used as a practicing dummy for football players.
"You need to take it easy Shadow, your really hurt." Fluttershy said making me sit down on the bed. I suddenly felt alot warmer, inside of my body.
Sitting around is lame, how about I help with that.
The inside of my body kept getting hotter and hotter, was Shade doing this to me?
"Shadow, why are your eyes on fire?" Fluttershy said tilting her head in front of me. I blinked not know what to tell her, all I did was start to remove the badage on my side. Fluttershy quickly put her hands on mine to stop me. I gave her a reasuring look making sure she sould let me do this.
She slowly removed her hands and allowed me to continue, I finally got the badage off and there was no wound only a scar. I chuckled a little for what Shade had done. Clever bastard.
I then went to the badage on my chest and started to remove it, I was having troble getting the wraping off. Fluttershy then leaned over and helped me get the badage off. I looked at her and she just gave me a smile. We got the banage off and just like my side a scar.
"What about the one on your cheek?" Fluttershy asked pointing to my face. I held my cheek and slowly took the badage off. I couldn't tell if there was a scar or not but Fluttershy seemed off from it.
"Its just really noticable." She told me holding my cheek and rubbing the mark. I gave her a smile and looked around the room.
"Fluttershy, do you know where my shirt and jacket are?" I asked standing up. She told me that they were being washed to get the mud and, blood out of them.
I walked over to a couch and ploped myself on it and rubbed my face.
"Is the day here as crazy as this one?"
"Every day at PonyVille is a crazy day Shadow."
We both then started to laugh, it was really funny already three days here and I got a girlfriend, my friends are here, but the only thing I couldn't get over is the blasted pony thing. Oh well, easy coming easy going.
Before we could engage in a converstion there was a knock on the door. Fluttershy seemed confused for who would be here. I insisted that I get the door for he for all shes done for me, she smiled at my offer and sat down onto the couch.
I then followed the sound of where the knocking happened, I reached the door that had the knocking reapting over and over. I opened it and was filled with freight.
"T-Twilight?"
"Oh, just the pony I was thinking about."
What was Twilight doing here? How did she know we were here?
Twilight looked me over up and down and smiled by what she saw. I blushed and just stepped free from the doorway. Twilight freefully walked in.
"So who was it Shadow?" Fluttershy said as we entered the room. She looked at us and her eyes widened, for some reason she also was blushing.
Twilight giggled and walked over to the couch and sat next to Fluttershy. She then looked at me.
"Shadow, if you don't mind I would like some alone time with Fluttershy for a while." Twilight said holding Fluttershys cheek.
I blinked and quickly flew out of the room, I flew up the staris not know where they lead I just know I didn't want to be there. I opened a down and slamed it behind me.
I breathed out and slid down the door and was now sitting. I felt something tugging on my leg, I looked and saw Angel with a confused look.
"Hey Angel, sorry for busting in here. Just Twilight and Fluttershy are having alone time." I said with a shiver from the thought.
He just shrugged and again looked at me confused. He then pointed at my chest.
"Hang on let me try something." I told him as I closed my eyes.
"Shade are you there?"
What do you want?
"Remember the mind reading."
What about the mind reading?
"Can it work on animals?"
Anything with a mind.
"Can you make it work for Angel?"
I can try.
I looked at Angel and felt a little light headed I blinked a few times and started to hear someone. I shook my head and the talking became louder, I then heared the voice clearly.
"I wonder if Shadow is ok?"
"A-Angel, try thinking of something."
"Did he hit his head or something?"
"I didn't hit my head Angel."
Angel stepped back in confusion for be knowing what he was thinking.
"Are you reading my mind or something."
"Yeah, I am."
"How?"
"Fire isn't the only thing I can do."
"Ok, so what happened to you?"
"I was attacked in that forest and Fluttershy came and helped me, my shirt and jacket are being wash."
"Well that make a lot of sense."
"Yeah, shes really helpful."
"Hey I think I should tell you this."
"What is it?"
"Yesterday, when it was night time, I was outside and I heard Fluttershy moaning. I could have sworn I heard her say your name."
"Um, I wonder why that is."
"Me to, I wonder why she said your name."
"Angel I don't think I can hold this mind connection anymore."
"Ok, its actully been great talking to you."
I then leaned my head back against the wall and let my mind become clear. I breathed in and out slowly coming to my sense.
I stood up and thought if the girls were done with whatever they were doing. I opened the door slowly not wanting to cause much noise. I slowly walked down the stairs and turned around the corner, I now wish I hadn't.
Twilight was ontop of Fluttershy and they were...making out! I gasped and turned my head back away from the corner. My face felt like it was on fire from me blushing.
"Hold on Shy, I think I heard something." Twilight said.
I was freaked out wondering what she heard, was it me? Was it something else? I was not standing here to find out, I turned around and was about to walk out.
Suddenly a hand grab my arm and I froze in place. I slowly turned around to see a seducive looking Twilight staring back at me.
"Just the pony we were talking about." She said softly. She then turned me around and looked me dead in the eyes. She reached in her pocket and pulled out a blindfold, she smiled at me and put it on me. I was very confused, I didn't know what to do.Twilight then got behind me and pushed me into the room.
"Fluttershy, look whos here to surprise us." Twilight said softly. There was a small gasp that must have been Fluttershy.
I was then pushed onto a couch, I was heating up all over from what was now happening. Then I felt someone breathing on my face, it got closer and closer until it met my muzzle. It was a little bit of a deamanding kiss but then I felt a tounge pushing my lips open.
I then let entrence to the invader and it explored my mouth, it then came into contact with my tounge and I slowly began to tongue wrestle with it. I assumed it had to be Twilight because there was a scent of books on her.
She pulled away and gave a giggle. I then felt someone sit right on my lap, I assumed it was Fluttershy because she had a scent of wilderness. She wrapped her arms around my neck, Twilight then placed her hand on my shoulders. She digged her hand deep into my shoulders, I tried to groan out but Fluttershy had silenced me by kissing me.
Twilight kept rubbing my back, she kept pushing harder into my shoulders. I was in heaven from the feeling, I had build up some stress over time and she was atleast getting the knots out.
I let out a moan, I heard Twilight giggle from it. Twilight then slowly moved her hand down to my wings, she then put her hands on the sensitive part of my wings and began to rub them.
I groaned in Fluttershy's mouth as she did this, Twilight giggled again. I was trying my best not to pass out from pleasure, but was struggling.
Twilight then removed her hands and I felt my mind coming back. Suddenly Twilight used her magic to warp around both of my wings entirly.
Fluttershy pulled away from the kiss, I then let my head drop from the pleasure because I couldn't take it anymore.
Both of the girls giggle by my actions, Twilight then took her magic off of my wings and Fluttershy got off of my lap.
"I think we might have pushed him a little to hard, Twilight." Fluttershy said laying me down on the couch.
"I think we will get used to it." Twilight said as she laid a blanket on top of me.
"Goodnight, Shadow." They both said as they kissed me on the cheek. They then went up stairs, I let sleep help me with my experience of pleasure run over me.
I opened my eyes quickly and sat up as fast as I could. I was breathing heavily, I looked around my surroundings and saw I was in the liabary. Didn't I go to sleep in Fluttershy's house?
"Oh Shadow, your awake." I heard Twilight said as she walked down the staris. I looked at her with confusion on my face. "Whats wrong Shadow?"
"Um, nothing its nothing." I said shadking my head. What that a dream? Was it real?
"Ok, hey are you doing anything today." She asked reaching the bottom of the staris.
I mentally smack myself for the amout of devafu I was going through. I shook it off, because I now knew that I could change what would happen.
"Nothing really why do you ask?" I asked getting off of the couch and streching.
"Oh, no reason."
And then on cue there was a know on the door. "I'll get it Twilight." I said as I walked over to the door. And exactly as I remembered Fluttershy was standing there with a smile.
"Hi Shadow." Fluttershy said hugging me. She then backed away with a small blush on her face, but this time I gave her a hug when she backed away. She was shocked at first but returned the hug.
I stopped hugging her and moved from the doorway for her to enter, she gladfuly entered with a smile.
I let out a breath beacause I get a second chance of this day. How many opertunitys will I get at this.
I then closed the door and walked back into the room and let all the devafu.
"So is it all planned Twilight?" Fluttershy said as I entered the room. Twilight then covered Fluttershy's mouth to quiet her. "Sorry."
"Well talk about it later." Twilight said removing her hand.
"Whats planned?" I asked sitting down on the couch.
"Its nothing." Twilight said sitting next to me. "Can you do us a favor?"
"What is it?"
"Well, can you go get your friends and bring them back."
"Why?"
"Because, um." She said thinking up of an excuse. She then perked up and got up and walked over to Fluttershy. She wispered something and Fluttershy blushed and looked at me and then back at Twilight. She sighed and slowly walked up to me, she got close to my face and gave me a set of bedroom eyes.
I stared back at her, only slightly affected by this. She seemed to get more nervous about me not doing anything, I smiled.
"I'll go."
Fluttershy then quickly back away and fell onto the other couch, I chuckled at how she had acted. Twilight looked at me a little confused and was about to ask something, but I had stood up and walked over to the door.
"I won't be gone long." I said opening the door and went off to get my friends, but this time its going to be different.
--
I got to Sugar Cube Corner and again, it was closed. I looked up to see a cloud floating above the building. I flew into the air and got closer to the cloud, this time I poked my head slightly above the cloud just enough to for my eyes to be seen.
This time I got a closer look a what Dash was doing to Knight, she wasn't tickling him like I thought, she was kissing his neck.
I got a devilish idea to prank them, I went below the cloud and back up a few feet. After I was far enough I chaged at the cloud and put it to dust. Both of them then fell, before they hit the ground the opened their wings and started to fly.
They looked around for the person who destroyed the cloud, they then looked at me, because I was laughing so hard from what I had done.
"Shadow! What was that for!?" Knight said flying over to me.
"I saw you both, on that cloud, so I decided, to prank you guys." I said in between my laughter.
He to then started to laugh, first slowly then into a huge laughter. We were both laughing, then there was a loud cough that caused us both to stop. I looked over to see the cyan mare, really mad.
"Uh, sorry about that." I said rubbing the back of my head. She then started to laugh herself, Knight too started to laugh aswell.
"You really think I'm going to stay mad at somepony, who pulls pranks." She said as she stopped laughing.
"Well from the looks of it, it seemed you wanted to rip my head off." I said claming down from my laughter.
"So who are you anyway?"
"He's Shadow, my old friend I told you about. The one who droped out." Knight said with emphasis on 'drop out'.
"I've been where hes before. Can't stand all the lame rules."
"Talk about untamable." I said with a chuckle.
"So what are you doing here?" Knight asked.
"Twilight said for me to go and get my friends, and bring them back to the liabary."
"Well I'm sure that we'll be there, right Dash."
"Yeah, it'll be fun."
They both then flew off towards the liabary, I thought back at how this first happened and how I changed it.
--
I landed in front of Sweet Apple Acres and breathed in the air. Oh, how I love the smell of apples.
I then started to wander around the acre in search of Silver, then I heard two familiar voices not to far from where I was.
I turned around a tree and saw Silver and AppleJack, I sighed and decided that this time, its also going to be different.
I climbed into the tree and jumped aross a few more until I was two trees away, I put my legs on the branch and hung upside down.
"Now what makes yah think I'm gonna let yah use magic on mah farm?" AppleJack said angerly, getting into Silver's face.
"I-I just thought it would have been easier." Silver said backing up into the tree. His eyes then moved so that he could see me, I was hanging in plain view, how else could he have not seen me.
"Yah know that I got tah punish you tough." AppleJack said caressing his cheek, well this didn't happen.
"A-AppleJack, w-what are you doing?" Silver asked shivering from her touch. She then gotter closer to him and she connected their muzzles. This did not happen.
Silver's eyes had widen but they slowly closed, he must've been enjoying this. AppleJack then backed away from the kiss.
"That was a punishment?" Silver asked confused. AppleJack just caressed his cheek and giggled, she then turned around and her eyes widened. I waved to her for knowing the whole thing that had just happened here.
"H-how long have yah been there?" She asked in shock.
"Just enough to see what you just did." I said jumping down from the branch.
"Um, yer not gonna tell anypony about this, right?" She said with a begging tone.
I then made it look like I locked my lips and threw the key. She then seemed relived by the new I gave to keep their secret.
"So, why are you here?" Silver asked getting away from the tree.
"Twilight wanted me to get my friends and get them to the liabary, blah blah blah." I said getting tired of saying it.
"Y-yeah, we'll be there." AppleJack said walking off somewhere.
I walked over to Silver and patted him on the shoulder. "She's a keeper."
As I said this he blushed, I chuckled and jump onto the branch. I looked back at him with a smile.
"Good luck with her." I said as I jumped into the air and flew to the nearest cloud.
I breathed in the fresh air that was completely sky high. I looked down at town and awed at its beauty, I leaned back and fell onto the soft cloud. It was so soft.
As I layed on the cloud I felt a strange heat coming from my arm, I sat up and held my right arm. No matter what I did it kept getting hotter. It then caught on fire, I shook my arm in order to stop the fire. Suddenly it stopped, the only thing I did was stare at my arm for it was now a red hot stone arm.
I sat up from the cloud from the nap I had taken when I layed down on it. I looked at my arm and held it.
"No more sleeping, damn visions." I said as I stood up. I seemed I had been out of it for atleast twenty minutes. I walked over to the edge of the cloud and looked down at the ground.
I took one step forward and fell off the cloud, I was free falling and was getting closer to the cloud. Before I could hit the ground, I opened my wings and flew staright up.
"That was fun." I said as I flew across the town. I spotted the liabary, Knight and Silver were waiting outside. I landed in front of the liabary and again let the dejavu run in.
"What took yah so darn long." Silver said in his western voice.
"Don't get your head in a ruffle Silver." I persponded while walking up to the door.
"Do you guys know why were here?" Knight asked as I pushed onto the door.
"No clue." I said knowing why we were here. I pushed again on the door, also knowing it was locked. I knocked on the door to get the attention of whoever was in there.
"Twilight! Are you in there?" I said knocking on the door.
"Just one minute." I heard Twilight say from behind the door.
I looked back at the guys and they just shrugged, I looked back at the door then a nearby window. I walked over to it and looked inside, of course lights are out.
"Ok, you guys can come in." I heard Twilight say from inside.
I pushed opened the door which caused it to make a creepy creek sound. We walked in and saw there was no light source at all. Suddenly the lights cut on.
"SURPRISE!!"
Silver and Knight screamed, I didn't want to upset anything so I also screamed. Our screams slowly died down and stopped yelling.
"Did you all throw this for us?" Knight said looking around.
"Yep, this party is for you guys." Pinkie said popping behind Knight.
"Ooo, a party!" Knight said happily.
"Do ya'll throw partys for anypony who shows up here?" Silver asked.
"It's become a usall thing for us now." Rarity said.
"Enough chit-chat, it's party time!' Rainbow Dash said hitting the play button on a speaker.
And the party began again well it began again for me.
--
"It's time for party games!" Pinkie said as she turned the music off.
"Pinkie, I was just starting to have fun." Dash protested. Pinkie then ran into Twilight's kitchen and came back out with a bottle in her hands.
"Why do we need a bottle." Knight asked taking the bottle.
"Because we're going to use it for Truth or Dare." Pinkie said taking the bottle back and placing it on the floor.
"If you all don't mind, I'm going to sit this one out." I said walking out of the room. There were some 'Awws' that came from everyone, I ignored it and sat onto the couch.
"Shadow?" I heard a timid voice say, yet again I looked to my right and saw Fluttershy there. "Hey Fluttershy, aren't you going to play Truth or Dare?"
"No, I really don't like those kinds of games."
"Well, I was about to go for a walk. Wanna come with?" I asked her as I stood up.
"Y-yeah, a walk would be nice. I-if you don't mind."
"Well, let's get going." I said as I opened the door, with Fluttershy following me.
--
We were both sitting there on the bench and looking at the crystal clear water. The moon was reflecting from the waster causing it to have some light shine upon us.
"I like coming here when it's night, it's really peacful." Fluttershy said moving closer to me.
"I have to say, it's really beautiful."
Fluttershy was no against me, I could feel her arm against mine.
"Your really warm Shadow." Fluttershy said.
"Are you cold Fluttershy?" I said already knowing the answer.
She looked away and blushed, she turned back and nodded. I then warped my arm around her and she seemed to jump. She slowly then nuzzled her way onto my chest, I could feel her breathing on my chest.
Though I had already experienced this, it felt like it didn't happen before. I placed my hand onto Fluttershy's and she let out a soft gasp, I held her hand tighter not wanting to lose it.
Fluttershy looked into my eyes, a blush still attached to her yellow face. I also felt a blush on my face, my heart was beating at a fast rate. Fluttershy had her hand on my chest and she let a giggle, she looked at my chest and then at me.
"Your heart it beating really fast, whys that?" She said in a soft voice.
I couldn't hold my urges anymore, she's just way to cute to hold off.
"Does this answer your question." I said as I came closer to her face. I then met lips with her, she gasped and was frozen for a second but she slowly kissed me back.
Fluttershy then pulled away with a smile and blush. "I reall am happy that you feel the same with as you do to me."
"I'm glad Fluttershy, I couldn't hold myself anymore."
I then hugged Fluttershy with pure joy, I was happy to have everything different.
"Well, just the ponies I wanted to see."
I stopped hugging Fluttershy and looked behind me to see Twilight standing there with a smirk.
Fluttershy quickly stood up and so did I, I didn't know what to do this time because I had changed what was probably going to happen.
"Twilight, I-I didn't know that you wanted him first." Fluttershy pleaded. Twilight then walked to Flutterhsy and kissed her. My face showed a blank expersion on what was happening, this did not happen!
Twilight stopped kissing Fluttershy and left her shivering for more, Twilight then looked at me.
"Would you like to join us back at Fluttershy's cottage Shadow?" Twilight said
"Yes, I would like joining you girls." I said walking over to be pulled into a hug by both mares.
"Let's go." Twilight said pulling on my arm, Fluttershy then tooked my other arm and we made way for Fluttershy's home.
What's a Changelings? And who is Chrysalis?
As we walked down the dirt path with Twilight and Fluttershy at my sides, I was in a perfect mood. I have two cute and beautiful mares with me on our way for some fun. I chuckled at the thought and continued to walk, I felt the warmth of both Twilight and Fluttershy as they both leaned on my shoulder.
We eventully reached Fluttershy's home and entered the household, as I walked in I saw that Fluttershy stayed by the door for a second, Twilight kept pulling me into the next room until she pushed me onto a couch, as the silence rolled on I heard a loud lock sound come from the front door. I looked behind Twilight to see Fluttershy entering the room with a sly smile.
Before I could see anything else, Twilight pulled me by my chin to meet her eyes, she had a smirk on her face. I knew what it was leading to. I pushed forward making the first move and locking lips with her, she let out a soft moan from the soft yet firm kiss I planted on her.
She wrapped her arms around my neck and pushed her tounge into my mouth, I wrapped my arms around her waist to deepen the kiss and began to tounge wrestle with her. She tightened the grip she had as she kissed me, making sure to check every corner of my mouth, though I didn't want her to have all the fun. So I again began to tongue wrestle for dominance, she eventully let me gain access to her mouth and let me explore her mouth.
As I continued to kiss her I heard a small wimper from a yellow mare I knew, I pulled away from the kiss to see a trail of saliva connecting for her lips to mine.As I looked into Twilight's eyes, they weren't there usal color of purple, but they were green. I blinked a few times and saw they were back to their normal color
I looked over to Fluttershy who was bitting on her finger to subdue her wimpers, to her it was no anvil. I stood up from the couch and walked over to her and placed a hand on her chin to briing her cute little face up. She seemed to be panting a bit and her wings were expandedto their length, I looked back into her eyes and moved forward. She seemed to stay there for a few seconds until she too leaned into the kiss.
I brought my hand to her wings and began to slowly massage them. She let out a soft gasp as I touched her wings, it was cute the way she reacted to my touch. The more I moved my hands along her wings, the more she pushed deeper into the kiss.
I pulled back from it and instead of the cute eyes of Fluttershy's they were green, I blinked a few more times and saw them change back. I ignored it and just looked back over at Twilight to have a actual blush get on my face.
Twilight had undone her button up shirt so there was a large amout of cleavge showing. I blushed more from the sight and looked back into her eyes. a seductive look was in her eyes, they were demanding.
"T-Twilight aren't we taking this a bit fast?" I asked letting go of Fluttershy, she let out another soft wimper as I let go of her.
"What ever do you mean?" Twilight asked who still had a seductive look in her eyes. She stood up and walked over to me swaying her hips from side to side. She got close to me and pushed me into a kiss, Twilight grabbed my hand and brought it to her breasts. I pulled back for her taking it to far, she looked at me with hungary eyes that kept turning green and glow brighter.
"Come on Shadow, we both know you need this." Fluttershy said as she hugged me from behind and started kissing the my neck. I let out a soft groan and tried to pull from Fluttershy's grip, she kept a tightening her grip the more I stuggled. Twilight got closer to me and placed her hands on my cheek.
"Stop!" I said trying to get free from Fluttershy's hold on me. Suddenly Fluttershy let go, and stepped back from me. Twilight also stepped back a bit from my shout, her eyes then started to glow green again, She let out a sign and seemed to be annoyed.
"This is taking to long. Your so stubborn." Twilight said in a different tone of voice. I stared back at her in shock by her words.
"He is stubborn." I heard another voice say, I turned around to see Fluttershy with an anoyed look and green glowing eyes.
"W-whats going on?" I asked looking back at the both of them, Twilight let out a stange evil chuckle. A green flame wrapped around her and she changed. Instead of the Twilight I knew and saw was now somesort a strange thing with a stange holes at the ends of her arms and legs. She had wings but they appeared to be like an insects wings, she also had a horn that looked like it too had holes in it.
I stepped back a bit from the pure shock I was going through and bumped into someone. I looked back to see something that was similar to the other only smaller. The so called Twilight let out another evil chuckle and pulled me by my shirt and threw me on the couch.
"Heres a little thing you need to know Shadow," She said getting into my face. "I'm am Chrysalis, queen of the Changelings!" She said with a boastful praise.
"What!?" I said in shock sinking back in the couch. The other one let a little chuckle out and stood next to Chrysalis.
"You see, this is a Changeling." She said pointing to the creature. "They, including me, are able to take the shape and form of anypony we wish."
"What did you do with Twilight and Fluttershy!" I shouted standing up from the couch. The other Changeling lunged at me and placed a knife to my throat, I froze in my place but held my anger in.
"Don't worry, there both alright." She said walking closer to me.
"What do you want from me!?" I said with a large amout of anger in my voice.
"We Changelings, feed on the love of ponies. Such as you." She said caressing my cheek.
"Though you happened to ruin our plans and get stubborn with things." She said with venom in her voice. The Changeling that had held a knife to my throat had stepped back but had the knife if I slipped up.
"Just tell me where they are!" I said trying not to kill them both for what they are doing. Chrysalis seemed to get a smirk and looked back at the Changeling and nodded. I looked at the Changeling and it charged at me and punching me in the face.
I fell to the ground and my vision seemed to get blurred, I saw Chrysalis walk over to me and crouch down in front of me.
"You want to see your friends? I'll take you to them!" She said as she raised her hand and stuck me in the face causing me to black out.
--
I opened my eyes slowly to see I was being dragged, I closed my eyes again and groaned in pain. I tiled my head to the left and opened my eyes again, I saw that I was being dragged through the Everfree Forest. I closed my eyes again and breathed in slowly.
"So why does Chrysalis need this guy again?" I heard a voice say, I lifted my head a bit to see two Changelings dragging me.
"Don't know, something about a dark energy inside of him." The other said seeming annoyed by the job they have been assigned.
I let a groan out and tried to move, but fell back down and closed my eyes.
"Look, he came to." One of them said as they both stopped moving me. I opened my eyes to see them both standing over me.
"Hey, just what exactly do you know?" One of them said as he kicked me in the side. I coughed a bit from the hit and blinked a few times.
"Come on, he's too beaten up to talk. Let's just get him to the cell." The other said as he kicked me in the face which caused me to black out again.
"Get up." I heard a familiar voice say in my head. I opened my eyes slightly just to have them drop back down.
"Come on. I said 'Get Up'" The voice said more demanding, I opened my eyes some more to see I was in some sort of jail cell.
"I Said, 'Get Up!" The voice said a a shock went through my body causing me to sit up quickly. I breathed quickly and fast, I looked around and saw I was in a cell.
About damn time.
"Shade? What the actual fuck happened!?" I asked taking in the area I was in.
Ok, a bitch queen kidnapped Twilight and Fluttershy, and also tried having sex with you. Now she locked you up in a cell to try and unlock the dark element in you.
"What, what's going on!?" I said clenching my head in pain.
Look if your going to want to get out of here, alive, your going to have to let me help you!
"Just, help me find Twilight and Fluttershy and get us out of here." I asked him standing up.
Ok this is going to be very difficult, you need to let your instincts take over.
"What do you mean?"
Take in your surroundings, learn your enemy, use your power.
"I don't understand!" I said as I held the bars to the cell.
Just let your instincts go.
I breath in and out slowly, I looked through the bars and saw that green torches lit up so they projected some light. I saw a Changeling that appeared to be guarding the area walk by, he stopped and looked at me he let a chuckle out and walked up to the cell door.
"So you've come too, good." He said with an amused voice. "Chrysalis has got the plan for you almost set up."
I threw my hand at him but he quickly stepped out of reach, he seemed to be shocked by my actions because his eyes were wide.
"A bit angry I see." He said, he then walked a bit closer not as much as I could reach him but as much that seemed close. "Seems that's a good thing for now."
"Where are they!" I shouted banging on the bars.
"Oh, you mean those two." He said with a evil chuckle. "They'll be fine, for now."
"If any of you as so much as hurt them, I'll make sure it's the last thing you ever do!" I said as my anger seemed to rise. I felt a strange burning sensation running down my right arm, I pulled it back and held it to subdue the pain.
"Aw, is the little pony hurt." He said in a little baby voice. I clenched my fist and felt the heat increase, suddenly it turned into a giant blade. I looked the Changeling right in the eyes and charge as far as the blade could reach, there was a satisfying punctured sound that came from him.
His eyes were wide and a small trail of green blood was coming out of his mouth, I retracted my arm and saw that the blade had green blood on it. I looked back at the Changeling as he collasped onto the floor, I looked back at my arm and it change back to normal.
I looked back at the Changeling corpse I had made and reached for his body through the bars, I searched over his body for a key and found a bronze key in a coin bag.
I put the key into the lock and unlocked it, the lock fell to the ground and I pushed the cell door open, I ran out and hugged the side of the wall.
Trust your instincts.
I moved slowly across the wall and peaked around the corner to see two Changeling guards approaching, I stood back a bit and waited for them to them to get closer. The walked around the corner and didn't notice me and kept walking, I quietly walked around the corner to see a alot more cells around me.
I looked around my current area as I moved and only though I needed to find them.
I walked down a few more cells and spotted a set of stairs leading up, I quickly walked up them and reached a castle like structure. I saw another guard approaching from a corridor and I quickly hide behind the corner.
I looked at my arm and felt it heat up again, it then turned into the giant blade. I waited for the footsteps to get closer and struck when they were close enough. I stabbed him right in the middle of his chest and lifted him up in the arm and threw him down on the ground.
I turned my arm back to normal and ran down the corridor looking for them, I reached another set of stairs and instead of running up them I opened my wings and quickly flew up them. I landed on top of the staris and looked around the area, it had to be the main part of the structure because there were pillars and a giant room.
I ran behind one of the pillars and saw a another set of staris leading up to a throne, then Insaw her. Chrysalis sitting there looking annoyed. I held my anger inside trying not to rush over there and just kill her. I looked behind her to see them; my eyes widen for who it was.
Twilight and Fluttershy. They were both sitting in a cage and Twilight was holding Fluttershy who was simpering softly. I heard the sound of feet running up the staris in a hurry, then five guards ran down the path too Chrysalis and knelt down at the start of the staris.
"Your majesty," The one in front said catching his breath. "The one know as 'Shadow' has escaped his cell and killed two other guards. They both appeared to have massive stab wounds to their chests."
"You fools!" Chrysalis said "He's probably already on his way here right now. Come, we must find him!" She said raising from her throne and stepping down the stairs, the guards then stood up.
"Yes your majesty!" They all said following her, they all then walked down the stairs. Until I knew the were far enough I ran up to the cage Twilight and Fluttershy were in.
"Twilight, Fluttershy!" I said reaching the cage, they both seemed to be shocked and looked at me. They seemed to get shock from the sight of me and they were frozen.
"Don't worry! I'm going to get you girls out!" I said looking at the lock.
Suddenly they was a sharp pain in my back and stomach, I slowly looked down to see a sword sticking out of my stomach. I twisted and I let out a yelp in pain, I fell to my knees as the sword pulled out of me, there was a noticeable hole in my stomach that led to my back.
I looked behind me to see Chrysalis standing there with a sword in her hand and a smirk. I stood up slowly with an immerse amount of pain running through me, I got to my feet and turned around to meet her eyes.
"So is this where you will die?" She said as she twirled the sword around. "Or will you join me?" She said as she outstretched her hand towards me.
"Shadow, don't!" I heard Twilight way from behind me.
"Please Shadow!" Fluttershy said softly.
"So what will it be Shadow? Live or die?"
I looked back at the cage to see Twilight and Fluttershy with tears in there eyes. I looked back at Chrysalis and the her hand, I closed my eyes and exhaled slowly.
I the reached for Chrysalis's hand and grabbed it.
"SHADOW!" Twilight yelled from behind me.
"No!" Fluttershy said as she broke into tears.
"You know Chrysalis, I hav to thank you." I said tightening my hold on her hand.
"What for?" She asked confused.
"For sticking your hand out like an idiot." I said as I pulled her behind me and bash her head into the bars of the cell, knocking her out.
"S-Shadow?" Twilight asked in disbelief.
"I...would never leave you guys." I said breathing slowly, I walked over to the lock and busted it open with a strong punch to it. The mares quickly ran out and hug be, I fell to my knees and my vision started to go black.
"Shadow, your really hurt. Twilight what are we going to do?" Fluttershy said holding me tighter.
"I don't know, he's...he's losing a lot of blood." Twilight said as so hoing me tighter.
Then there was a strange heat sensation inside the wound, I felt it closing up.
I'm not going to let you die on me.
Then the wound closed, I felt slightly better then really better.
"Girls, I'm alright." I said rising to my feet.
"But, how?" Twilight said in shock.
"I can explain later. Right now we need to get out." I said looking around and found an exit.
"Okay, we can get out through there." I said pointing to our way out.
"Yeah, I would like to get out of here." Fluttershy said softly.
As we walked to the exit we past a hall that read 'Tresure Room'. When I walked past it I felt a calling me to go too it. I walked in front of the room and stared into it.
"Shadow, what are you doing?" Twilight asked stopping and looking back at me. I couldn't respond back, I felt in a trance, I walked into the room and saw there was a shrine with a black stone on a post.
"Shadow?" Fluttershy said walking to the doorway. I couldn't say anything my body then couldn't even control it. I walked up the stairs and saw the black stone more clearly, I was standing infront of the stone.
I lifted the stone in my hand and turned it in my hands, and saw an ingraving in it, it only said.
The Darkness will cause you Pain.
The stone then turned tightly in my hands and pushed it's self into my chest causing me to fall back and down the stairs. I yelled in pain as the stone started to mearg into my body with a painful push, Twilight and Fluttershy ran to my side and lifted me up.
"Shadow! What was that?" Twilight asked as the stone finally pushed itself into my chest, making black glowing veins all over my chest.
"Just give me a second." I said breathlessly trying to gain my head around what I had just done. I held my chest in the familiar pain I had felt when I got Shade in my body.
I slowly got to my feet with Twilight and Fluttershy helping me stand up. I pushed them away for feeling a strange feeling over my body, I cracked my knuckles and neck and felt complete relieved.
"S-Shadow, are you ok?" Fluttershy asked placing a hand on my shoulder, I looked back at them with a smile.
"D-don't worry, I'm f-fine." I said as my breath kept short, I shook it off.
"Let's just get out of here." I said walking over to the doorway with the girls into.
We had just escaped the castle from Chrysalis and were making our way through the forest, I was feeling a bit woozy as I walked from the experience I went through.
"Shadow, are you sure your ok?" Twilight asked as I took a moment to breath. I rubbed my head and nodded to them.
"Can we please keep moving?" Fluttershy said as she kept walking. "I really, really don't like it here."
As she was walking she tripped and fell, she cried in pain as she fell on her back. Me and Twilight quickly ran over to her and helped her back up to her feet, she cried again and held onto me.
I was wondering why she wasn't just flying to take pressure off of it but I looked back to see that her right wing was limp.
"Fluttershy, can you walk?" I asked trying to help her take pressure off her leg.She quicklt shook her head to say no from whatever pain she was having.
"Well, can you fly?" Twilight asked putting a hand on her shoulder. Fluttershy, again, shook her head to say no.
"Then theres no way that you can walk, or fly. So," I said picking her up bridal style. "I'm just going to have to carry you."
She let out a cute squeck as I did this, she also was blushing from my care for her. I looked back at Twilight for some reason also had a blush on her face.
"Let's get moving." I said starting to walk through the forest, Twilight made sure too stick close to me as we made our way out. Fluttershy seemed to bury her head into my chest as we walked through the forest, she must have really been scared of this place.
We all reached the end of the forest and looked around to find where we were at, Twilight pulled me towards a dirt path and she took lead.
After some time we were walking, we got to Fluttershy's house. I looked at the building and saw the door wide open, I thought back to the two imposters from eariler.
I looked down at Fluttershy who was nuzzled in my arms asleep, she was simply adorable. I walked in the house and saw Twilight close the door behind us.
"I going to go put Fluttershy in her room." I said walking up the staris, Twilight just walked over to the couch and sat down.
I got to Fluttershy's room and placed her gently on the bed, I took the cover and wrapped her up so she wouldn't get cold. I looked down at her slowly breathing form, the way her stomach went up and down as she breathed. I walked next to her bed and knelt down next to her and kissed her on the cheek.
"Sleep well, Fluttershy. You deserve it." I said as I walked out of the room. As I walked down the staris a strange feeling took me over, a feeling to look for something. I didn't know what but, something.
"S-Shadow." Twilight said softly, snapping me out of my trance. She seemed to be upset by something, I walked over to her on the couch and sat next to her.
"What's wrong Twilight." I asked softly.
She looked at me with nearly tears in her eyes. "I-I thought that you would, have left us and, join her."
"I'm sorry for misleading you both to that." I said holding her hand. "But, I would never leave either of you two."
"Shadow, promise me." She said moving closer to me. "That, you won't turn to them."
"I won't. It won't come to that." I said also moving closer.
It seemed sudden, she moved forward and made contact with our lips. I slowly closed my eyes and pushed forward into the kiss, when I was doing this I felt at peace.
I felt my mind getting fuzzy and I relized that I wasn't breathing. I pulled back and breathed heavily, Twilight was doing the same.
"S-Shadow," She said pulling me into a hug. "I-I...love you."
I held her gently and moved my hand along her back.
"I love you to, Twilight."
She pulled back from the hug and kissed me forcefully, which caused me to fall back onto the couch. I was a bit put off by her force but knew, I loved her and she was the real Twilight.
I put my hand and her back a caressed it slowly, causing her to moan into my mouth. She wrapped her arms around my neck, I felt something try and gain access to my mouth. I knew it was Twilight's tounge and open my mouth to her.
She slowly explored my mouth, making me start to tounge wrestle with her. She seemed to deepen the kiss and wrap our tounges together. She pulled back and looked into my eyes, she layed down on my body and whispered in my ear.
"I love you, Shadow." She wisps red going to sleep.
"I love you to, Twilight." I said closing my eyes and drifting off to sleep.
--
I sat up quickly and looked around me, everything was dark but some how there seemed to be light. I looked to the left and saw a weird figure standing there, it was glowing black like it was on fire. It had cold white eyes that stared into my sole.
I stood up and slowly walked backwards to get away from it, as I walked backwards it moved with super sonic speed and moved left too right and stood in front off me. It's eyes stared deeply into mine, it slowly brought it's hand to my neck and held it tightly.
It kept a tight grip on my neck as it's hold got stronger, it then stared to lift me up in the air by my neck. I could feel myself losin breath by the second, I gasped for breath as it's hold on me got harder.
"Oh would you leave the kid alone Star!" I heard Shade say as light suddenly cut on, reveling that the dark figure was a mare in a dark hoodie and black pants. She let me go and I fell to the floor breathing heavily.
"Oh come on, it's not like I was trying to kill him." She said looking at Shade. I looked back at Shade who seemed to be annoyed, he sighed and walked over to me and helped me up.
"Sorry about that," He said. "That other stone you picked up, was another element stone."
"The Darkness Stone." The mare said interrupting Shade, he gave her a glare which caused her to giggle.
"As I was saying, this is Black Star." He said looking back at her. "The reason we already know each other is when we were created, we were normal ponies. So far as we know there's six stones, from them they represent other elements."
"Shade, I think your about to break him." Black Star said noticing my confusion.
"Well, I'm sorry, I'm just having an incredibly hard time wrapping my head around all of this!" I said holding my head.
"Hey, Shadow was it? If your going to have us stuck in your head, your going to have to learn the rules."
"Star, don't start with that stuff again." Shade said as he faceplamed.
"Oh come on Shade, don't be a stick in the mud." Star said in a pouty face.
"What rules?" I said already afarid of the consequences.
"Rule one: Shade has already told you, don't ever turn your back on us." She said in a serious tone. I gulped and thought back to the moment Shade told me that.
"Rule two: don't be such a serious pony with things, like Shade her." She said as she nudged him.
"Rule three: always accept our help, we can always help you in a jam so be sure to accept it." She finally finished.
"Is that it?" I asked confused by the rules. "Seems easy enough."
"Ha, see this one knows how to have fun." She said poking Shade in the side of his stomach which caused him to jump.
"What ever, atleast someone here has too actual get something's done." He said as he walked off some where.
"Um, where's he going?" I asked Star as he vanished.
"He's going to rest, I saw what you did in that castle back there. A tough one is not what I took you for." She said with a small giggle.
"Well, I'm not one for fighting but if you hurt someone I care for. Your better off dead." I said rubbing the back of my head.
"Yeah, some times you gotta do what you gotta do." She said sitting down in a beanbag chair.
"Um, where did the beanbag chair come from?"
"We're in your head," She said tapping her head. "If your able to think of something and make it poof up in here, so can we."
I tilted my head from the infromation she just gave me, I shook my head and thought of a beanbag chair. I looked behind me to see it sitting right there.
"See, easy as that."
I sat down in the chair and got comfortable in the chair I had made.
"I could get used to this." I said putting my arms behind my head.
"Yeah, when your in this it's like a actual reality." She said rising out of her chair and walking away.
"So, relax." With that she faded out of my sight.
I blinked a few times and kept looking off in the direction she went to, I sighed and laided my head on the beanbag, I let my eyes shut and relaxed.
