The Shards of Life

*The Next Morning*
I awoke and proceeded to my routine, etc, etc. I figured today I was going to just relax. after I had sat on my couch for a while, I realized that I was getting rediculously bored. I frowned
"If I didn't know any better, I'd say that this just calls for a bit of action." I told myself. I opened my door and decided I would take a quicker route to the park. After all, maybe I could do some training.
*Ponyville Park*
When I arrived, I noticed that nopony was here yet. I walked out to an open area, and closed my eyes. I decided it was best if I could see how long I could use my shield. "Flame shield!" I yelled. Just like earlier, I was surrounded by a sphere of transparent flames. After a minute or two, I lowered it. I figured that the only way I could REALLY train is if I could practice both my offensive and defensive skills. I sighed
"I should do this somewhere else." I told myself. Maybe I could find a job that could help.
*My House*
I found the envolope from a few days prior and opened it. I looked and all the jobs on the list, and frowned in dissapointment, upon making the realization that none of them would work. Untill I saw the last one on the list.
*Office*
"So, you wanna be a stuntspo...umm..." the stallion looked at me with a rather confused look
"Stuntspearson." I said
"Err...right. Show me what you got."
"You have any opener spaces? My tricks might ruin some of your stuff."
"Of course! Follow me." and with that, he led me to an empty field. "Let's see it, sport."
"Flame Airworks!" I shot out five bursts of fire, sending each one into the sky. I had them do some loops and stuff, but I wasn't done yet. I spread out my arms, and instantly, the flames burst like fireworks. I looked at the stallion, who's face was soaked in shock. "Waddya think?" I asked.
"Most spectacular!" he said "Boy, where in Equestria did you learn how to do that?"
"Long story." I said. He looked at me again.
"And what did you say your name was?" he asked
"Mason."
"Well, I'm Peddle Sticks, but mostly everypony calls me Ped for short. We'll keep in touch." he told me.
"Thanks!" and with that, I left
*Ponyville Square*
I was on my way back to my house, thinking about what life had been like before I got here. I remebered my family,how we always got together on Thanksgiving and Christmas, and how my aunt always made the best fruit salad ever, and a bunch of other things.
"Those were good times." I told myself "And although I may never go back, It was nice." I soon realized that It actually wasn't that much different from here to earth. The majorty of citizens here respect one another most of the time, and help when others are in need. I soon snapped back to reality when I realized that I was at my house. I was still a bit bored, but I guess its imposible to make "Fight a powerful figure" a part of my routine. Then I realized that it was almost sunset already. I went in my house and went to bed.
Little did I know what power was waiting.
*Unkown Location*
"He WHAT?" asked a low voice, almost in a growl. "What do you mean he hit you with a fire rock? HE'S A MERE HUMAN!" a long pause soon followed."Grr...You're useless!" it yelled soon after the slam of a phone.
"So, Crysillis got beaten, I take it?" asked another voice. this one was higher pitched, almost child-like.
"She was." said the other "What does it take to get rid of a human? This is rediculous!fisrt Discord and now her! Sombra is useless, seeing as how he was beatean by that pathetic heart."
"Well, maybe he's the hero of legend."
"Don't be stupid! He was killed over a millenea ago! By MY hand! And unlike you, I ALWAYS finish what I start instead of toying around like a three year old!"
"Well I just want a little bit of fun, thats all!" A door opened
"Lord Barron, I am to inform you that he does have one weakness!" said a voice.
"Tell me!" said Barron
"The element of Generosity. If she is taken, he is sure to come here! Then you destroy him!"
"Set a couse for Equestria. More specificly," Barron smirked "The Caurosul Boutique."
"Right away sir!" and with that, a small, dwarf-sized man left the room. Barron smirked once more.
"This is going to be wounderful. HA HA HAA!"
The End
