The patron of Want.

by Totally Emo

Loss of purpose? Adopt a pony! (Edited version)

I hate being a god… Now don't get me wrong, the perks at first were great: the sheer power to create or destroy was addictive and the respect I got was a massive boost to my self-esteem. Unfortunately, like all jobs that seem great at first I soon became aware of the cons of being a god:

1. I had a boss. That's right. Being a god doesn't exempt you from the one of the basic facts of life: Everyone has a boss. I can't even say I met the guy but the rumor is that he is the original GOD - the creator of virtually everything. Apparently he divided up his duties and created beings like me to handle various affairs to lighten his work load. Unfortunately that just rumors, basic fact is though I take orders from something that can wipe my essence from the face of the universe so bad it was like I never existed.

2. The job is your life. I used to have some free time but the boss decreed to create more and more and more until the fucking universe became a multiverse were alternate realities became so numerous that only the boss knows how much stuff he created. I can't even remember the last vacation I took… Hell I cant remember if I took a vacation at all.

3. The job starts to define who you are. I knew the god that was built for war, he used to be a nice guy with a sense of humor. He used to yell "head shot!" randomly and even created a heaven for warriors to do battle till the end of time just so he can see the happiness on some psychos face when they find out that they can live forever doing what they love. Now he's a jackass who hates, and by hates I mean HATES, he only feels rage… Last time I saw him he was destroying that heaven he created stating "In war the dead are not free." He enslaved the souls of the residents of that heaven and turned them into monsters that follows his orders.

I am a god of... well... Want… or Lust, now don't go thinking I'm pervert or anything! I guess you can describe me as the Ambition to become president, or the jealousy you feel when you look at that new Corvette in your neighbors driveway, the Lust when a husband looks at someone other than his wife or the need to eat that juicy medium rare double bacon cheeseburger when your on a diet. I was created for this purpose when humanity was created so I could push them up the evolutionary food chain. If I didn't do it who would? The first human would just have been content to hide and survive in the darkness until I made them experience the comfort of fire and the safety from the weather outside. Could the first humans take all that punishment from such a primal world? Yes they could, but they would just take the punishment and not strive to change any of it, I changed that and gave them the balls to tell nature to fuck her self and make the world theirs.

Humanity since then became my job and my passion. I promoted the idea of the species in not accepting "Just surviving" line of thinking. Tired of genetic diseases? I make the cure happen. Tired of those politicians holding you down? I create civil wars. Need the forests and jungles destroyed to make room for a growing population along with the need for food increasing? I say fuck nature and deforest areas and create clones of cows, sheep, and plants to provide a surplus of space and food for humanity to grow. Planet becoming inhabitable? Move to a new planet and fuck over mother nature there.

First time humanity moved to a new planet Mother nature was prepared for me. Humanity encountered a race of big blue humanoids called the Na'vi, and when we started mining and shit they got prissy for hurting "Eywa". So it was my race against mother nature's big blue monkeys, and I admit they had the home field advantage and the advantage of evolving to being able to survive the planets hostile surface. But they haven't had enough motivation to take control of nature and break nature's rules. Humanity wiped out the Na'vi through the use of nuclear bombs, chemical weapons, and good old fashioned bullets. Humanity fucked up the planet so bad that it became uninhabitable. So they mined the fuck out of it and moved on too another planet.

Mother nature is still pissed at me because of that... Like I give two shits about what she thinks.

Unfortunately Mother nature had a long memory and a even bigger ego - she got sick of my constant abuse of her "sphere" of influence so she challenged me to one on one combat. I accepted and our battle began, it was… Glorious. Suns exploding, wiping out entire star systems, black holes appearing to block anything we could throw at each other. That was just the opening blow to test out each others power. We started attacking each other for real, not at each other physically, but through our charges. The ones who we actually created for. If our purpose is destroyed we lose the will to live… I can't fully explain the feeling but imagine a puppy - yah a puppy with cute little eyes and soft fur: now imagine it getting its head cut off.

Sad, right? But you really never were attached to that puppy so you will eventually get over it.

Now imagine that same puppy alive and well that you took care of. You fed it, played with it, and eventually raising it to be a big strapping dog. Through all time you helped it learn new tricks, taught it not to pee in the house and had even started thinking of it as a family member. Now imaging its head being cut off.

That was the pain I felt when Mother Nature destroyed humanity, she took them out with a series of black hole popping up in the middle of the home fleet… After that I lost track of time… Detached from everything. Even Mother nature taunts and jeers about my loss. I wander the realms of existence hoping to forget, but just like that puppy, you just can't forget something like that. I would've continue on like that till the end of time if I had not come upon a quaint little planet named Equeastria... And on that planet I found a new purpose, and that purpose was named Scootaloo.
---------------------------------------
I felt the planet brimming with contentment. Every need provided and sustained by two entities that felt unfamiliar to me. I would've turned away if I hadn't sensed a tiny blimp of…"Want".

"Something must be down there that just might need me," I thought with a bit of hope that I might find something to give me purpose; or at least allow me to forget my troubles. I descended through the atmosphere toward the blimp. It was in a village that was going through a serious rainstorm, I appeared in the middle of what looked like the town square and I looked around… It had a medieval look about it and no one was around. The locals must have went inside their homes.

Except one.

I followed the "Want" until I came upon a little orange filly with wings on the ground in an alleyway, soaking wet under a overhanging roof. It didn't see me since I was hiding my entire being from the entities of this world who might get territorial over my trespassing.

"One of Mother natures failed creations?" I wondered. I felt a bit disappointed in my find since I had no need to take care of an animal. I was about to leave until I heard it speak in a young girls voice.

"Happy birthday to me, Happy birthday to me, Happy birthday dear Scootaloo," She ended with a sad sniffle. After that she burst into tears. I decided to let mother nature run its course for once and turned around to let the obvious reject die, when then I felt her "Want" begin to grow.

"I just want a family!" She snarled out between sobs. I stopped in my tracks looking at her thinking about what she said… I was intrigued at the possibility that maybe I can steal one away one of Mother nature's subjects, having one's creation stolen away by a rival god is really insulting, and I was in the mood for some petty revenge.

"I can give you a family..." I spoke inside her head. She jumped at the sound of my voice in her head. "I can give you that and more."

"Who are you?" She said out loud looking left and right in search of me. "Where are you?"

"I'm a…man, who can take care of you. And where I am is right in front of you." I didn't reveal myself, but I will if she accepts my offer.

"I don't see you," she said with a another round of find the invisible man, "and what's a man?'

"Dose it matter what I am? I can get you out of the rain and into a warm house in one hour if you accept my offer."

"I don't know who you are and plus I can't even see you,"

"You will see me and know me if you accept my offer, all you need to say is yes and I will appear." She looked like she was thinking about it and it seemed childish desperation was winning out for someone to finally take care of her. To finally have a home.

"Yes," She said in a pleading whisper.

"Yes what?" I needed too make sure that she was willing to accept my offer.

"Please mister take me home!" Her eyes where looking every where for me to appear, and her eyes started to grow even more desperate when she couldn't find me.

"As you wish." I appeared right in front off her in my usual psychical form, A cloaked figure in black robes with two glowing white eyes shining out through the shadows of the hood. Weirdly enough she didn't flinch from my appearance nor look like she wanted to run away. She just looked up at me with a open mouth. I smiled, and knelt down were lightly tapped her chin with my right hand, and when I touched her I willed the water away from her coat so she would be dry. She closed her mouth in surprise.

"What are you?" She asked with wonder in her voice.

"I'm you father... If you want one that is." Some how her face managed to make an expression that showed mixed excitement and fear and longing into one. Then she fainted, and I caught her before she could hit the ground and cradled her like a baby.

"Too much in one day for you, kid? I said to her, "Ahh well… We can finish this in the morning"

That night a new house with two new occupants appeared at the edge of town, one of them was sleeping for the first time in two years in a warm bed, were the other was contently watching it's new ward. In another place in city called Canderlot, a goddess as planning on visiting the town to see her prized student.

And in the country of America a fellow Brony is wondering if he should continue this story...
Were his editor is vigorously shaking the Spelling and Grammar stick at him.

[Totally Emo]

Fuck you Avatar! You're just a prettier version of Dances with wolves!

All is well!

[Super]

Well done sir. It's an interesting angle your approaching this from, I wish to see where your story goes.

[Archangel]

Please continue this, I really enjoyed reading it.

[Meta Knight]

fantastic

[treos]

well this is a interesting idea, tracking

[FireHawk]

I lold at na'vi! Please don't let this die

[Dracmatais]

Well. I'm of the opinion you've got a good premise here and should totally continue the story. I for one would love to find out where things go from here.

[Cuauhtemotzin]

Good story, please continue. Grammar isn't an issue

[Tech_Priest]

This

*licks*

Yup! Solid Gold! 99,99% pure!

Keep it up!

[NoxCaelum]

That brony will obviously continue this story, seeing how good it is.

I want this to continue.

Desire tempered with Wisdom, brings to fruition, creation.

[Peyotr]

I'l bother him about continuing. Mostly because the story is awesome, and it gives me something to do... Not much to look forward too, besides editing, writing, and finals =_=. My life is so dull.

[Freezey]

Wow
You got an awsome talent
Too bad your wasting it on such short chapters

[Your Antagonist]

For the love of whatever god you pray to, CONTINUE

[Delicious]

I was about to correct your spelling of Equestria, then I read the end. You also misspelled Does...

[Delicious]

I shall track this.

[A Random Guy]

Just wait till Scootaloo's parents pop up in the show, then Emo will use the, "It's an alternate universe!" excuse. Works every time.

Actually I'd have the main character kill them for abandoning Scoot

I will have the next chapter ready by december 17th

[kknd2]

Well now, I suppose this one matches your avatar to a T. (It is power, I care not whence it comes) Ambition can be a good thing, Desire can be a good thing. But Purity and goodness are not the same now are they? I do so look forward to seeing how you run with this Emo. What diguise will Want take to fulfill the want of Scootaloo? And will Celestia and Luna remember the tale of the divine that fought mother nature and lost?

I do so look forward to that next chapter.

[Harpsanimation]

Note to self clear an hour and a half to draw fan art for this on dec 17 :3

[Valsion]

I just love your writing style. Your character is going to love the cutie mark crusaders: "We want our cutie marks right NOW!"
Also looking forward to him meeting princess Celestia

[Grog18]

Awesome, Just plain Awesome

[Reaper1oo]

"Happy birthday to me, Happy birthday to me, Happy birthday dear Scootaloo," She ended with a sad sniffle. After that she burst into tears.
To me this was the sadest part

in all seriousness though Moar

[Totally Emo]

Ah shit!!!! Sorry guys!!!

My muse kicked in for the Moons Necromancer and pushed out The patron of want over the edge so you might have a little bit of a delay for this story.

[Harpsanimation]

:( i will read the Moons Necromancer for now but i was really looking forward to the patron of want

[Krenshaw]

it's been 9 days since the chapter was expected....

[Harpsanimation]

omg read Moons Necromancer nvm what i said before moons necromancer kicks ass it's the best fan fic that iv read so far.... but patron of want has so much potential can't.... decied..... which on i i want more

[Gypsy]

wow this was incredibly good, the god of want without anyone hears the want of Scootaloo and offers her that want in physical and mental form. The physical part was very interesting for me seeing as he just drives people to what they want but here, here he has become the want/need. I wonder if he'll get attached like he did with the humans. I would love for you to continue this, it appeals to me in a great way.

DEAR GOD IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN

Nice story by the way...do continue!

[Critic]

And then the author Re-wrote his OTHER masterpiece, leaving this story in an eternal cliffhanger the end.

when will u update?

[Critic]

YOU TOOK DOWN “MOONS NECROMANCER“ !!!!!?????? , WHY ??? I know you didn't feel like it was up to your standards, but that doesn't mean you have to take it away from us, the readers, the fans. By the way, the story was going great in my opinion, I was waiting soo badly for more , specially after your comment on “Human “ . You can at least re-upload the story and leave it at hiatus, and maybe continue it if you feel inspiration . On a final note your stories are all unique and awesome, please don't just give up on them later on finish at least one of them .

[voiddragon]

MOAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MyLittleBurger]

I concur... moar.......

[Peyotr]

Continue, darnit. I'm not dead yet!

[Derpy_pie]

I like it, i love the aspect of adopting a scootaloo because i lvoe scootaloo! I wanna see how this plays out so please keep writing!

[Jaohni]

Is this thing dead or something? I really do like it, after all

[MrRainyDays]

when will this update o.o?

[Sandman]

Now there's a God I could pray to.
I want you to write more of this.
I want to see the God spread the need for more, to never stop wanting, to always reach further.
I WANT THIS AND MORE.

[CDR]

I'm going to find you. And you are going to continue writing this.
