Not as planned

Okay, maybe rocketing towards the forest with my coffin closed wasn't such a good idea after all I internally groaned.I had failed to take in account the short distance which caused me to crash to the ground at full force.

"Those fillies will pay.." I muttered as i lifted myself up from the ground and scanned my surroundings . "This forest is pitch black! I can barely see were I am" I growled in frustration " But they shall not escape! No one mocks me and gets away with it, just wait you insolent fillies!" I shouted in rage as I started to make my way deeper into the forest.

Everfree night

The fillies have been awfully quiet ever since I entered this forest I thought as I made my way thorough the dense fauna of the forest. I could hear the cries of various animals and critters around me, but I just ignored them and kept going, after all who would try to confront a God? Even so I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being watched.

I turned around to make sure that no-one was following me. "Hmm?" I tilted my head as I found something standing still in the blackness of the forest " Is that a cottage?" I wondered aloud as I took the sight in front of me. A small lonely cottage just stood there. Now who would live in a dangerous forest like this? I moved closer to get a better look of the dark cottage.

It seems that the inhabitant is away at the moment, wait what are those letters on the door? I squint my eyes to read the letters on the door " Callum....Fortwood?" I said aloud" Thats a human name....strange" I moved away from the door and peeked inside the house from the small window.I could only grimace at the sight.

The room was full of hanging nooses which were covered in blood.

Its seem that even this world has its dark sides I scanned the room and saw that the floor was littered with paper sheets This "Callum" person seems to have some mental problems I thought as I found out that all the sheets had the same text written on them .

"Its all that a psycho needs" I read aloud and turned away from the window, having seen enough.

I hope that this person has not found those fillies. They are mine and mine only With a last glance towards the cottage, I resumed my search.

1 hour later........

I cannot stand this! Were are they!? I fumed in rage as the forest seemed to be mocking me." It would be easier to just burn this place to the ground an-" Then it hit me. Mot you are a genius! I chuckled in glee A small fire will lure the fillies away and thats when I will victorious I triumphantly started charging a basic fire bolt attack.

"Come to Mot little ones!"I yelled with malice as I threw the bolt at the forest which resulted in a massive explosion. I could feel my eyes stretch from their sockets in surprise as the forest was soon engulfed in a sea of fire. It seems that I used a *little** bit too much of my power...* I awkwardly thought as the fires swept across the forest.But my thinking was cut short when I heard footsteps coming from the fire.

A bipedal creature emerged from the flames and made its way towards me. Is that..a human? I thought, surprised that a human lived in this world. The creature stopped a few feet away from me revealing its entire appearance.A male, looks fairly young, wears some kind of weird clothes. Definitely a human I thought as I stared at the still bipedal, but something else suddenly caught my eye as I directed my gaze at its arms.

It was carrying the three fillies. I glared at the human who in return just tilted its head and grinned, causing something to fall from its pocket. A hanging noose..

"Callum Fortwood I presume?" I questioned after a long staring competition.

The humans grin grew wider. " You presume correctly" The human replied with a very thick British accent."It seems that you have visited my humble home already" he tilted his head again.

"It would be impossible for a human to live in a world  that is so far away in the dimensional current. Who are you?" I demanded.

"Callum" just stared at me with his green eyes. " I am many things. A ghost? A corrupted spirit? Or perhaps a wraith? In the end It makes no difference " He chuckled . "What really matters is that I have something that you wish to have as your own" He pointed at the unconscious fillies. " They happened to stumble across me. Poor things screamed in terror and fainted from the sight of me " He said as he caressed their manes." And since I found you looking for these fillies I believe its best if I gave them to you. I do prefer grown up mares much more" He licked his lips and lowered the fillies to the ground.

"Finally this wild goose chase is over.." I muttered as I picked up my prize. I glanced at the fire and with a snap of my fingers summoned a powerful gust of wind which caused the fires to fade away. Now to get out of this forest so I can harvest their souls

"Now then I believe its time for me to leave" Callum said as he started walking towards the darkness of the forest " Do visit me sometimes. You are the only one who knows that I even exist here" He laughed wickedly as he disappeared in the darkness.

I stared for a moment in deep thought Its best to not question his intentions I turned away and stared at the fillies Its time to harvest I grinned and made my way towards the entrance of the forest with the fillies fast asleep in my arms.

???

Callum stared at the retreating from of the God of death and grinned. " A God of death and ponies? Such a strange combination" He tilted his head " Things are about to get interesting,but whatever the case..." He glanced at a roped unconscious unicorn mare with a lyre mark and grinned even more. "I will be looking forward to my next visitor" He flung the unicorn over his shoulder.

"Its all that a psycho needs..." He sang as he walked towards his cottage.

...............To be continued

Change of plans

Finally... I thought in relief as the forest entrance came into view. I glanced at the fillies sleeping in my arms. They look peaceful, but how long will that last? I grinned and made my way towards the entrance. The moon was still high in the sky, illuminating the path which guided me out of the forest.

I scanned my new surroundings. As I saw from the gorge, I was surrounded by green grassy plains and I could see the village in the distance.Now then I lowered the fillies to the ground. I believe that the soul of the orange one will suffice. The world would definitely be a better place if I took just her soul I darkly thought while raising my hand."As a human would say.." My hand glowed red. "Rest in peaces! Kiyehahahaa!" I laughed as I brought my hand down towards the filly.

*Clank!*

"Eh?" I glanced at my hand and saw that it was hovering just inches from the filly's face as If stopped by some kind of solid wall.Impossible.... I thought as I retracted my hand and brought it down with more force this time.

*Clank!*

".......Eh?"  Confusion was plastered on my face, which soon turned to anger "JUST DISAPPEAR!"I roared as I struck the filly again with all of my might.

*Clank!*

The filly was perfectly intact. "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH!?" I screamed in shock, my eyes bulging from their sockets."How can this be possible!?" I panicked as my brain went into overdrive. "Filly!hand!filly!hand! equals.......absolutely NOTHING!" I shouted ,failing to notice the stirring fillies. They must have some kind of barrier protecting them from my soul touch, but what!?" I groaned in frustration while massaging my temples " Okay...I just have to calm down and examine the fillies. I'm sure that theres a simple solution if I patiently examine them." I turned towards the fillies feeling much calmer " Now then. The first thing that I should do is to-"

The spot were the fillies laid was empty.

I slowly raised my head and saw a retreating dust cloud heading towards the village in the distance. Keep it calm Mot...theres no need to panic... I took a deep breath.Theres no need to act like a horny incubus at this time of the night I assured my self." I can gather the souls I need tomorrow. No one will believe those fillies so It will be easy" I chuckled and turned away.  While I do like sleeping outside, I believe that a temporal residence would be more fitting I thought while searching for something were I could stay the night. After a while I spotted a lonely cottage at the outskirt of the forest."Aah...Perfect" I thought as I started to make my way towards it.

Everfree outskirts

"A cozy little cottage" I said aloud, standing in front of the door. The cottage had a very rustic and earthly feel to it, almost like it was welcoming me with open arms. Since I hate being rude, knocking sounds like a polite way of announcing your presence I deduced and gently knocked the door three times. After waiting for a while I could hear a voice approaching.

"Coming!" A feminine voice called out. This will be interesting I thought while I polished my coffin.

The door slowly opened and I was greeted by a sight of a yellow pegasi mare. "How can I help........you?" The pegasi trailed of as she noticed my appearance.

"Greetings" I bowed my head. " My name is Mot and I was wondering If I could spend a night in your humble abode" I calmly stated. The pegasi in return just eeped  and quickly slammed the door shut. This is why I prefer humans more.. I sighed and knocked the door again.

The door slightly creaked. "Please don't hurt me.." The mare whimpered.I backed away slightly to give her some space "I assure you that I have malicious intents" By the tits of the succubus! Why did I say that!? I shook my head. "I mean that I don't have any malicious intents" I quickly corrected. The mare creaked the door a little and peeked out "Rea-really?" She asked and I nodded. " You have my word as the God of Death" Abaddons snot!" I mean that you have my word as the.......weird guy in the coffin"I finished with a perfect poker face.

The mare stared at me for a moment , but then smiled and opened the door. "I'm truly sorry, I shouldn't judge anypony by just how they look" She apologized."Could you repeat your name mister? I mean if thats okay with you" Its best if I kept my identity as a secret for now

"You may call me Tom miss....."

"Fluttershy" She smiled softly.

"Miss Fluttershy" I repeated. What a strange name...

"A pleasure to make your acquaintance mister Tom" Fluttershy bowed her head

"Like wise young Flutthershy" I bowed again earning another kind smile from the mare.

"So I presume its safe for me to sleep here for the night?" I questioned.

"Of course mister Tom. You can sleep in my bed while I will take the sofa" She motioned me to follow her. Such a kind mare..

"I don't want to intrude miss Fluttershy, let me take the sofa" I insisted, but she just smiled again.

"Oh,but I insist. I rarely get any guest so I want you to enjoy your stay as much as possible"  I was shocked at how kind this mare was to a complete stranger. " As you wish" I bowed my head in gratitude earning a light giggle from the mare.

"Just take the stairs up and you will find my room. Goodnight mister Tom" Fluttershy smiled again.

"Goodnight miss Fluttershy" I replied and went to her room.

Such kindness is hard to find.......  I thought as I laid down on the small bed and fell asleep.

.........................To be continued.

More setbacks

I slowly opened my eyes as the first rays of the sun hit me in the face. Now then I yawned Today I shall get to the bottom of this. I thought as I recalled the events of the last night I will find out what was protecting that filly and when I do the fun really starts... I grinned and lifted my self up from the tiny bed.

Perhaps I should check on my kind host first I turned towards the door I have to remember my manners after all I levitated towards the door and opened it.

As I made my way down the stairs, I could see the house much more clearly in the broad morning light. The walls were decorated with different kinds of paintings and the windows had flower stands on them. Miss Fluttershy has a good taste in decoration I glanced at the paintings It fits with her character quite well actually  I reached the main floor and noticed different kinds of critters running around the room, birds were happily chirping in their cages, the squirrels stuffing their faces with food and bunnies hopping around. She also seems to have a love for animals.. My thinking was cut short when I heard the voice of the mare in question.

"Good morning mister Tom!" She happily trotted from the kitchen and I bowed my head in respect.

"Good morning to you as well miss Fluttershy" I politely greeted the mare. " I was just in the middle of examining your beautiful house" I complimented causing her to blush a little. It was now that I finally noticed  her folded wings. The pegasi type I mentally confirmed and continued. " You also seem to have a thing for animals am I right?" I questioned.

"I am a animal caretaker actually" She gave a carrot to a white bunny " Its my special talent and my passion" She proudly stated.

"Indeed it is.." I muttered as the birds landed atop of me.

"Do you want to join me for breakfast?" Fluttershy asked. I guess it would be a good time to indulge myself with the local cuisine

"With pleasure miss Fluttershy" I softly smiled and followed the mare to the kitchen.

"I hope you like daisy sandwiches" She said as she went to get the proper silverware.

"Daisy sandwiches.." I deadpanned. Ponies.... I thought as I tried to find a place where to sit.

"I have to apologize for not having proper seats for you mister Tom"

"I believe that its best if I stand" I leaned against the wall. "My anatomy makes it hard to do things like these" It also makes it hard to digest flowers, by Abaddons ass crack even a wood spirit would faint by just seeing this food...

"It must be hard to live in a big coffin like that" She brought the plate with the small sandwich to me.

" I will admit that its hard sometimes" I gently took the sandwich and ate it with a single bite. Ugh....

" Do you like it?" She sweetly tilted her head.

"Yes" I flashed her a forced smile."Its very delicious"

*Knock* Knock* Knock*

Wonderful... I sighed as I heard the door knock.

"No one usually comes over this early, I wonder who it is?"  She made her way towards the door.

"I shall stay in the kitchen since my appearance may give the wrong first impression" I called after her.

"Umm...Okay" She sounded uncertain, but nodded her head and left my field of vision to answer the door.

Though I don't know whats wrong with my appearance..........It must be the color of the coffin

"Fluttershy!" A scratchy voice cried out from the living room followed by a loud crash.

"W-w-whats going on?" I heard Fluttershy ask.

"You have to come with me! Some weird suit wearing bipedal alien that looks like a corpse has started to attack the village!"

Wait a second...No...It cant be..

"An alien?"  The mares voice trembled.

"Yeah It has already taken out all of the royal guards and Twilight is currently trying to hold it back. We need the elements to stop this thing before its too late!"

"Wait Dash! I have a gues-"

"No time!" I heard Fluttershy eep again and the door rapidly closing .

I peeked from the kitchen and sure enough the living room was empty. A bipedal alien that wears a suit? I groaned What is another human wraith doing here!? Then it hit me It wants the souls of these ponies as well! My eyes narrowed Insolent fool! The souls of these ponies belong to me and me only! They belong to the God of Death!

I roared in fury and crashed trough the ceiling, leaving the stunned animals behind.

Ponyville

Entrance

The first thing that I noticed was the rising smoke from the village while I rocketed towards it. I'm getting sick of these interruptions I snarled. Why is it so hard to gather the pesky souls of these ponies!? I frustratingly thought as I landed at the town entrance.

"Welcome to Ponyville...." I read the sign at loud.

"Aaah! Its because they are ponies! How silly of me! Kiyahahaaa......" I laughed to myself and snapped my fingers,causing the sign to explode into peaces." A truly wonderful village this is" I gleefully made my way towards the center of the village.

I glanced at the street and noticed that it was littered with ponies garbed in golden armors. Did these ponies really think that they would have stood a chance against a wraith? How pathetic.. My thinking was cut short when a heard a scream of pain from the town center. Leave some for me, you damn wraith! I fastened my pace.

Ponyville

Center

I finally reached the source of the scream and noticed two figures standing at the center. One was a heavily bruised purple unicorn mare. The other one was a fairly tall man who was wearing an elegant tuxedo with coat tails, dress gloves, and had short brown hair, but what drew my attention more was his blue corpse like skin.

"Such a disappointment, Is this all that the mighty element of magic has to offer?" The man spoke with a British accent. Another human with a British accent.....

The unicorn tried to get up,but failed when the man brought his foot down against her head. "If wasn't so corrupted I would feel sorry for you"  He grinned as he kicked the mare against the wall.

"Leave her alone!" I heard the scratchy voice shout while a blue blur charged towards him.

"Foolish!" The man gleefully yelled as he jumped and drop kicked the blur causing it to crash to the ground.

When the dust cleared a rainbow maned pegasi was laying unconscious on the ground. Its time to step in before my precious souls get wasted I cleared my throat.

"Hmm?" The man turned towards me, his eyes widening in surprise. "Now what in the world are you?"  He questioned while scanning my appearance.

"Someone whose going to send you to the netherworld" I grinned.

"Those are some big words" He narrowed his eyes."Do you really think that you stand a chance against a wraith of Death?"

"Why don't you find out?" I taunted causing his glare to intensify.

"So be it!"  He grinned as his arms began glowing green.He moved them in a circle as a projectile was formed.

"Disappear!" He yelled in glee as he threw a carriage wheel that was coated in green flames towards me. I quickly closed my coffin causing the projectile to shatter into pieces.

"What!?" He growled in anger. I opened my coffin and smirked at him. Its time to have some fun I snapped my fingers, sending a fireball towards the wraith. It struck the surprised wraith in the chest. "Giyaah!" He screamed in pain as he crashed against the wall.

"You were saying?" I grinned. The wraith shakily rose up, clenching his burned gut. " You insolent whelp!" He ran towards me while his hands glowed green. Deciding to make things more interesting I also charged.

The deranged wraith grinned and snapped his fingers causing rotten hands to sprout from the ground,grabbing me and sealing my movements. "You are mine!" He yelled and charged at me with a barrage of punches. Noticing this I teleported behind him. Too easy I chuckled as the confused wraith slowly turned towards me. "Hello there" I whispered with malice.

"Impossi-" The wraith was interrupted when I pierced his right shoulder with my horn."Nothing is impossible" I laughed and ripped his right arm of with a good swing of my head.

"GYAAAH!" He screeched in pain and stumbled backwards, green blood oozing from his wounds.

"I believe its time to end our little fight" I teleported right in front of him, his eyes widening in fear." Enjoy your flight" I smiled and punched him with a force of a steamroller in the gut hearing a satisfying crack of bones in the process as the wraith was sent flying towards the sky.

"Mister Tom!" I turned around. Fluttershy stood there with five other ponies all of them wearing some kind of necklaces.She was helping the purple one stand. " Please leave the rest to us" The purple one said.

"As you wish" I addressed her. The mare nodded her head and the ponies got into a position. I turned my head towards the airborne wraith who was now slowly starting to fall down.

"I shall obliterate you with all of my might!" The wraith yelled in anger as his only arm glowed green once again. A green sphere flew from his hand and morphed into a black carriage with three skeletal horses. " Begone!" The carriage rocketed towards the ground at break neck speed.

I glanced at the ponies and noticed that they had started hovering in air. What in the worl- My thoughts were halted when a bright rainbow emerged from the ponies and was launched towards the wraith at full speed.

"The elements!?" The wraith could only watch as his carriage was obliterated into pieces. "No.." The rainbow got closer and closer."NOOOO!" He screamed as the rainbow hit him surrounding him in a bright light.

The ponies landed on the ground while a statue fell from the sky. I stared at the statue, which was that of a petrified  wraith.

What a pathetic way of finishing someone off........ I made my way towards it. " I will show how its really done" I grinned and brought my hand back, ready to crush the statue.

"Wait Mister Tom!" You must be kidding me....... I thought as I turned towards the ponies, who were cautiously staring at me. I hope that Fluttershy has my back cowered....

"Yes?" I asked and the purple one stepped forward.

"We need to talk" She glared at me. Yes.. she will be the first to have her soul ripped now... I darkly thought.

"Of course. Lead the way" I bowed my head.  If this mares dares to disrespect me as a gratitude for saving her rotten soul, I shall personally grill her on a fire and eat her...

..................................................To be continued.

Toms Plan

"Got it?" I asked the fillies.

"Got it!" They jumped up and down in excitement.

" I cant believe that we have a monster helping us!" The orange one fluttered her wings. Insolent filly......

"I'm sure we will get our cutie marks in no time!"  I sighed.

"Lets make one thing clear" I caught their attention " I am a God of Death,my real name is Mot and you will address me as such when no one else is around. Do I make myself clear!? " They yelped and Immediately nodded their little heads.

"...Whats Death?" The orange one blurted after a moment of silence. She must joking...

"SOMETHING THATS GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOU IF YOU DON'T KEEP YOUR LITTLE MOUTH SHUT!" I bellowed in anger,causing the filly to be pushed back by the sheer volume.

"..So its a bad thing?" The white one asked this time.

"Yes!"

"So that means you are a God of Bad things?" The yellow one tilted her head in confusion.

"Yes!"

"So your special talent is making bad things happen?"

"Do you want your mark!?" They looked at each other and nodded."Then no more questions!" I sighed and turned around.

They may be annoying, but no matter.. I chuckled inwardly. Everything is going according to plan  I grinned inside my coffin. Mot. You deserve a pat on the back

"Look there they come!" I heard the yellow one shout, so I turned my head towards her. Perfect.. I thought as I saw the fast approaching group of mares.

"Applebloom! Are ya alright!?" The orange mare,panic evident in her voice rushed to hug "Applebloom".

"I'm fine Applejack! I was just playing with Mister Tom" She winked at me and I nodded my head in response.

"Oh Sweetie bell!" The white mare hugged "Sweetie bell" Albeit more gently." I was so worried about you".

I felt someone tapping my coffin. I turned my gaze down and noticed Fluttershy staring up at me. I smiled down at her." You really thought that I was going to do something to these little fillies, did you?" She sheepishly looked away.

"I'm sorry that I doubted you Mister Tom.." She looked at Twilight who was in the process of catching her breath. I leaned down. " She could have teleported you here.." I whispered and Fluttershy nodded her head.

"I tried to tell her that you didn't mean any harm, but she was so sure that you were going to harm the fillies and immediately rushed through the door.." She whispered back.

" So this weirdo didn't do anything to harm you?" The rainbow maned one asked the fillies.

"Nope!" They responded at the same time. She turned towards Twilight. "I guess you were just overreacting Twilight" Who in return sighed and lowered her head.

"Sorry.." She apologized. "Lets just return to the library then.." She slowly started to walk away.

"Yeah! We need to part-" The pink pony stopped when a hoof was showed in to her mouth.

"Not now pinkie.."The rainbow maned one scolded and removed her hoof.

"Aaww.." "Pinkie" Deflated a little, but nodded her head and followed Twilight. Just as planned I grinned victoriously.

"Come on girls!" The fillies also followed the mares. " You too Mister Tom!" Applebloom called.

"Coming" I levitated after them. Kiyahah.....

Library

The fillies and the mares were seated in the living room while I just leaned against the wall again.

"Now then!" Twilight popped from the kitchen."Since we have conformed that you are not a threat, I think it would be best if I asked you some questions!" She pulled out scroll and a quill. I had to answer so many pointless questions today, so no..

"I'm afraid that I feel a little tired actually" Her ears fell a little." But I promise that I will answer your questions tomorrow"

"Could you at least tell me what that things was?" She asked with puppy dog eyes. MY EYES!

"The wraith?" She nodded and I sighed "Fine..." Her ears perked up again.

"A wraith is the spirit of a sentient being. When one dies theres a slim possibility of being turned into a wraith." She scribbled in her scroll.

"What does a wraith exactly do?"

"It gathers the souls of the dead, but not all wraiths do that because they got corrupted by something" I glanced at the fillies and noticed that they weren't paying any attention.

"So it was a corrupted wraith then?

"Yes" I nodded my head.

"How do you know all this?" She asked with a quizzical look. Well I kind of have the power to create wraiths...

"Its something that has been passed down in my family for generations" She scribbled something on her scroll again and nodded.

"Spike!" She called out, resulting in a tiny purple dragon rushing down the stairs.KIYAHAHAHAHA! My Sides! KIYAHAHAHAH! I almost died laughing internally when I saw the dragon and had to close my coffin for a second.

"Umm...Twilight whats that?" The dragon pointed at me.

"Hes a visitor,his name is Tom"  Twilight explained.

"Greetings young Spike" I bowed my head.KIYAHAHAHAH!

"Nice to meet you Tom. Names Spike and I'm a proud dragon!" His chest puffed with pride. ............KIYAH-

"Indeed you are" I smiled.

"Spike could you send this letter to Princess Celestia?" She gave him the letter.

"On it!" He took the letter and rushed upstairs again.

"Now then! Tom. Me and the girls are going to the Sugarcube corner to discuss about where you could stay." The mares got up and went for the door." Could you watch after fillies while we are gone?" Twilight called out from the door.

"Of course" I smiled at her and she smiled in return,closing the door. They must still have doubts..hmm...How should I gain their favor?........AHA!

"Attention!" I called to the fillies and they quickly formed a line in front of me."I have the perfect plan to get those mares to trust me more"

"What plan?" They asked at the same time.

"Simple.Its something only a God of Death could do perfectly..." I paced around the fillies.

"And that is?" Sweetie belle asked this time. I started to slowly turn.

"We are going to...."  Their eyes widened in anxiety. "Cook!"

"I'm going to wow their taste buds with my homemade cupcakes" If theres something that humans thought me its cooking! I owe those vikings one..

"But Pinkie pie is the best baker in Equestria!" Scootaloo spoke with a smug confidence. What!?

"Yeah..I doubt you could make cupcakes as well as Pinkie does" Applebloom continued. IT.IS.ON!

Cooking Time!

"We will see about that. Applebloom! You get me all the ingredients that I need.Scootaalo! give me something to cover my coffin. Sweetie Bell you will help me with everything else." They hastily nodded their heads.

Scootaloo handed me a pink apron which i tied around my coffin. It begins... I grabbed a nearby bowl.

"Eggs!" I grabbed a hand full of eggs from Applebloom and threw them in the bowl.

"Flour!" Applebloom gave me a bag flour which I ripped open and added to the bowl.

"Liquid butter!" I squeezed the entire bottle in the mixture.

"Finish the base while I will get the secret ingredient!" I gave the mixture to Applebloom and teleported away.

2 minutes later...

I teleported back to the kitchen, my apron slightly red.

"Take a break"  The fillies nodded and went to the living room. Once I made sure they were out of the hearing range, I took my ingredient from my coffin.

"Mince the pork meat!" I threw the chunk of beef on the table "God of Death style!" I punched the meat several times.

"Add it to the mixture!" I threw it in the mixture.

I ripped the kitchen cabinets door out , tossed it aside and grabbed a dozen cupcake molds.

"Fill the molds!" I carefully filled the molds.

"Oven!" I punched the oven window and threw my molds in.

"Pork Cupcakes. Done!" I ripped my apron of and went to the living room.

"Clean up, fix the kitchen and take the cupcakes out"   I leaned against the wall. Now we will see whose the best cook..

The fillies sounded excited, muttering something about getting cleaning cutie marks as they went to the kitchen.

"We are back!" Twilight called out. Just in time

"Perfect timing! I just finished making some cupcakes for you all" I gave each pony a nice red colored muffing.

"Aaw..Thanks Tom!" Pinkie pie immediately ate hers, the others following suit.

"These are absolutely delicious!" Rarity praised me.

"I think Pinkie has competition" Rainbow nudged the pink pony.

"Well ah reckon this is the best cupcake ah have ever eaten" Applejack had a goofy grin." Yah think you could tell me whats in it?"

"Thats a family secret Miss Applejack" I grinned.

A family secret indeed...

Naive world

Impossible! How could I lose !? I screamed inside my mind as I floated alongside the dimensional current, just minutes after I was banished from the netherworld.  I am Mot! The supreme God of Death! My grip around my golden coffin tightened as my rage took control over my body, but I shook it off as quickly as it came. I will not let my emotions take me over, after all it’s only a matter of time before I can regain my throne. I grinned inside my coffin. I only have to find a suitable world, so I can gather enough souls to travel back. I thought, as my eyes scanned the current for dimensional tears. Now then. Which one is the closest? I merged my hand with the current, causing images to appear in my mind.

"What in the world?" I uttered aloud as I focused on the images. I could see vast amounts of colorful ponies gathered around a small village. They all had different color schemes and marks on their flanks, which only served to confuse me. "What is this ridiculous sight? a world of talking ponies?" I sneered. I also noticed that some of them had horns and wings. Unicorns and Pegasi... I pity the God who created this colorful land. That even a human child could have easily created. I sighed and removed my hand from the current. I have no choice, but to enter this world and gather all the souls I need.  I rubbed my eyes to clear them from that colorful vision. I really wish that the human world would be close, I enjoy being in that world since they treat me like a proper God, I must visit them after this whole ordeal is over. With my mind set on this, I entered the tear.

Equestria

I stepped out of the current to be greeted by a night sky covered with twinkling stars. I quickly scanned my surroundings and came to a conclusion that the dimensional tear must be located in some kind of gorge. Satisfied that no-one's around, I closed the tear with a snap of my fingers. Can’t have anyone following me, now can I? I started to laugh darkly as I levitated myself from the ground to get a better view of the gorge. Yes! soon the souls of these ponies will belong to me and I will sa-DONG!** Unfortunately, my monologue was cut short, when I levitated head first into a boulder.

"I hate this world..." I grumbled as I made my way above the gorge, paying more attention this time. In the distance I could see the village that appeared in my mind, surrounded by grass plains and a dark forest.

"Hmm..The village seems to be pretty small, I have to personally investigate if they have the high quality souls that I need" I glanced at the moon " But it looks like I have to wait till sunrise since mortals like to sleep at this hour" And with that I lowered myself to the ground and closed my coffin Might as well do the same... I thought as sleep overtook me.

"What the hay is this?" my eyes sprung open as I hear a voice from the outside.

"Ah don't know, but it looks like a weird golden statue" another voice piped up, the voices seemed to belong to young child's.

"We probably should leave it alone girls…" A third squeaky voice commented.

"No way! If we can get this thing to Ponyville we could earn our cutie marks"

You wouldn't dare...

"But what if this thing turns out to be dangerous?"

Listen! Listen to the squeaky one!

"Pfft! This thing’s is as harmless as a little bunny, just watch me!" After the scratchy voice said that I felt something poke against my coffin.

"See?"

I opened my coffin door very slowly causing the voices to yelp as I stick my head out of my coffin. Standing in front of me are three colorful pony fillies and they look absolutely frightened as I towered over them. "Now then" I address them with a calm voice "You have exactly five seconds to run away before I will rip your souls out. But, why five seconds?, you may ask. And the answer is: I am a merciful God"

"Bu-but we-"

"One!" The fillies tumbled over each other in their panic. "Two!" Their eyes widened in horror as they scrambled to their hooves. "Three!" With a scream of absolute terror they took off as fast as their little hooves could carry them. "Four!" I licked my lips. "Five!" and with that, I levitated towards the running fillies while cackling loudly.

"We’re sorry, mister!" The white one pleaded as I closed the distance more and more.The fillies were running out of the gorge towards the dark forest.

"I like you, squeaky one. That is why I'm probably going to spare your life...” I thought about this. “…probably" The thick forest would make flying difficult, it’s best if I follow them from the sky. I elevated myself above the forest as the fillies rapidly entered it. I kept my eyes on the fillies, but quickly lost them as the forest canopy grew thicker. "Accursed forest!" I yelled in anger as I tried to locate the insolent fillies. Not having any luck I growled in frustration. "To think they managed to outrun me is unacceptable! I will find them, and rip their souls out!” I thought, again. “...well, maybe just the scratchy one’s. Since she dared to disrespect me," I turned towards the village and grinned "If they manage to get out of this forest, they will most likely head towards that village and that’s where I shall go, too," I started to make my way towards the village, but stopped when I heard the familiar voices of the fillies scream in the forest. "Found you!" I screamed in glee as I propelled myself towards the forest. "No one escapes Mot! No one! Kiyehahahahaa!"

The God and the ponies

Fortunately no one was killed when the wraith attacked. The guards were bruised here and there ,but it was nothing serious since they already were putting of the fires. As I followed the mares I pondered what that light show a few minutes ago was all about.

A rainbow that turns your opponent into stone... I glanced at the statue and snorted. That must be the most humiliating way of losing to someone. I think that he would actually prefer to be destroyed rather than being a lawn ornament for the rest of eternity I chuckled, earning odd looks from the mares.

"Are you sure you don't want me to destroy that statue?" I decided to break the silence."For the greater good of course" I smiled.

"Thats for Princess Celestia to decide" The purple mare responded.

"Princess Celestia..." I deadpanned and the mare nodded. Silence once again followed us while we made our way towards our destination .

Ponyville

Library

"Is that a house carved in a tree?" I asked without any emotion. Must.Resist.Urge.To.Burn!

"Thats correct Mister Tom. This is were Twilight lives" Fluttershy trotted beside me.

"Judging by her mark, her full name is Twilight Sparkle I presume?" Fluttershy looked up at me in surprise.

"How did you guess?"  Its so obvious...

"Luck" I patted her head and followed the mares inside.

The interior was by pony standards quite interesting to say the least. The walls were full of books of different kinds. She lives in a library? I thought while glancing at the books, my head almost hitting the ceiling.

"Now then" The purple mare motioned the others to sit while she closed the door with her magic." We need to talk "Tom"" She narrowed her eyes at me.

"Do go on Miss Sparkle" I levitated a little closer to her as she sat down, leaving me surrounded by six mares.

"At yesterday night, three little fillies came screaming from the forest" My damnation...  " They said that a large creature in a coffin had threatened them and chased them." She turned towards the orange colored mare who nodded her head.

"At first ah didn't believe Applebloom, but when ah saw you" She gestured at me." Ah couldn't help, but to think that she was telling the truth" Time to defuse the situation before this escalates

"Now.Now. You must be confusing me with someone else" I kept smiling, but then the white mare stepped in.

"Then pray tell why would my sweet little sister lie to me?" She tossed her hair backwards.

"Since it happened at the night, I presume that she didn't see this person well. The night has a way of tempering with ones mind" Those damn fillies!

"Why did they all see the exact same thing!?" The rainbow mane pegasi glared at my as she hovered.

" I have no reason to hurt you ponies. Why would have I saved you from that wraith if I had ulterior motives?" Got you.. I  mentally grinned. " It must have been someone else.They are little fillies remember? They always have wild imaginations "And now the final nail in the coffin " I spent the entirety of last night with Miss Fluttershy, so It couldn't have been me" I leaned against the wall.

The mares looked at each other with unsure expressions. Twilight seemed to be in deep thought."We should get the fillies here then" She spoke with a smile." They would definitely recognize you, If they had seen you that night"  As a human would say..............BY THE GODS I´M FUCKED! Time seemed to slow down as my brain went into overdrive. I cant stop them from getting the fillies and that barrier has the souls of these ponies protected! I could feel the sweat beads starting to form.Wait! If I did that thing...Mot you are truly a genius!

"I can get them for you. Saves the trouble of you doing it" I said with a with a stoic voice and expression. Twilight turned towards me and smiled.

"Sure! I do feel a little tired after that- Wait what!?"

"ThankyouIwillseeyoulaterthen!" I rocketed through the door, leaving the shocked mares behind.

Sweet apple acres

Immediately after I left the tree house I flied towards the nearest location that being a huge Apple orchard. That mare had three apples as a mark, so that must mean that her younger sibling lives here.... I though while I scanned the orchard.

"Catch me if you can!" I heard a voice echo from behind me. That scratchy voice..... I turned towards it and as luck would have it the three fillies were running towards me without even noticing.

"No fair Scotaloo!" The yellow filly whined. They are literally running into my hands

"Oh come on Applebloom!" The filly finally turned her head towards me. " You are just....." She trailed of when she saw me. The other fillies crashed into her and they rolled right in front me.

"What they hay! Why did yo-" She and the other filly froze in fear at the sight of me.

"Ru-run!" The scratchy one screamed and they hastily tried to get up. Not this time I grabbed them in my telekinetic grasp and lifted them up.

"Ah don't wanna get eaten!" The yellow filly sobbed.

"I never got my cutie mark!" Squeaky cried.

"Silence!" I bellowed in anger, silencing the fillies. " Do I have your attention now?" They slowly nodded their heads."Good" I dropped them on the ground.

"Your sisters should be here in any minute now, so I want you to lie when they ask about me"

"But mah sister is the element of honesty....we cant lie to her" I rolled my eyes.

"Just don't look into her eyes when you lie" I explained to the fillies.

"Is it that easy to lie?" The scratchy one blurted, but quickly closed her mouth when I glared at her.

"If you do this I shall forgive you for disrespecting me"  The fillies seemed to be uncertain and a little scared.

" I will also let you ride my coffin" Their eyes widened." And I will help you earn these "cutie marks" " I smiled at them. I could see their eyes sparkle in excitement, seemingly forgetting the events of yesterday .

"Deal!" They yelled at the same time.

"Good! So this is what you must say.."
