Story update (Life with a Sexy Shaman) · 6:57pm Oct 19th, 2015
Hey there everypony! F1 here.
As the title states I'm giving an status update for the ever popular Life with a Sexy Shaman. The rewrite is running very smoothly. Me and my co-authors (recently acquired Browneyedbagel ). We've gotten a lot done (like 3 done and currently on the 4th. Thanks again BEB ), I've just been focusing on my Flutterbat vs Timberjack fic, so I haven't had time to write out the chapters. But I will be working on it little by little til the other one is done (which should be by Halloween). But here's a little snippet of the first chapter:
It was a calm, cool summer night in Ponyville. A gentle breeze danced through the town as the moon hung in the starry sky. While you walked through the tranquil streets with your purple alicorn friend, Twilight Sparkle, you couldn’t help but smile.
“Man, it’s such a lovely night,” you sighed.
“I couldn’t agree more,” Twilight responded.
“The skies here are so similar to the ones on Earth. Only ours isn’t created by a lunar alicorn,” you said with a small chuckle.
Twilight joined you with a small laugh as well. She then looked up toward you.
“So, have you gotten use to life here yet, Nito?”
You rolled your eyes in response from hearing that name.
“Twilight, you know I hate that nickname,” you replied.
“But it suits you perfectly,” she chimed.
“Ugh…”
“Nito…”
“Yeah…”
When you turned to face her she was hovering in the air at eye level. She then booped you on your nose.
“You’re cute when you pout like that.”
“Whatever,” you turned away in a huff.
“Aw come on, don’t be like that~”
Though you folded your arms in mock anger, you heard a fit of giggles coming from her. You too then joined in the laughter. Your playful banter was just one of the few ways the two of you got along. As you looked up at the night sky, you mind began to wander to how you came to be in Equestria.
-----------------------------
It had been three months since that faithful day you brought to Equestria from Earth. Princess Celestia had personally visited you and offered you a chance to live amongst her people. Being a young researcher, you couldn’t pass up the opportunity so you eagerly agreed. It turned out that there were a few others that Princess Celestia had chosen to bring as well. You considered it an honor to be one of the few humans she had chosen. She then offered a choice to stay in Canterlot with her or venture out to see Equestria. With your thirst for knowledge of the unknown, you chose to venture off.
You then found yourself in the quaint town Ponyville. After an introduction by Celestia herself, the ponies welcomed you with open hooves. There you met Princess Celestia’s prized pupil, Princess Twilight Sparkle. The two of you became very good friends, due to your common interest in research and studying. She even offered her home to you. There you two would conduct numerous experiments that would benefit both humans and ponies.
As the weeks passed, your research had provided invaluable results. A few days ago you came across a book of potions. Inside its pages was a formula for a potion that could enhance the abilities of anypony who drank it. Curious about its effects on humans, the two of you made it your goal to test out the potion. After two days, you were able to gather all but one of the needed ingredients. A rare flower said to bloom once every six months, the Moonlight Blossom. According to Twilight’s intel, the flower was set to bloom tonight.
-----------------------------
So there you were, two friends on your way to the mysterious Everfree Forest.
“So where is this orchard, Twilight?”? you asked.
She then pulled out the map from her saddlebag with her magic. She then quickly glanced over it.
“Hmm…it looks like it’ll be in the northern part of the forest,” she replied.
“Cool, so do you think we’ll have any trouble getting there?”
“As long as we stay on the path I mapped out, we should be fine,” she assured.
“Okay, then let’s get going.”
You then run off toward the edge of the forest.
“Nito, wait for me!” shouted Twilight, as she chased after you.
When you two arrived, an eerie chill crept up your spine.
“Are you sure we have to go in there?” you asked nervously.
“Yes, we do. Don’t tell me your scared Nito?” inquired Twilight with a teasing grin.
“Who? Me? No way!” you lied. “Was just wondering is all?”
“Sure you were. Well, in any case just stick close to me and you’ll be fine.”
“Can do, Twilight.”
With an audible gulp, you and Twilight venture the eerie forest.
'Til then, Later Days
