Frostheart did not enjoy the period of Hearth’s Warming. It was too loud; too bright; there were far too many ponies everywhere; And far more importantly, there was far too much good cheer and joyous feelings abound.

And since, as a windigo, she kinda needed negative emotions to survive, that last one was a serious problem.

Which in turn forced her into having to sneak into a pony settlement during Hearth’s Warming Eve in order to find some negative emotions to eat. The plan was simple, find somepony having a bad night, have a discreet meal, and leave. In and out, minimal contact with the ponies. Easy.

Now if only she could tell why the settlement’s name was ringing alarm bells in her mind things could be perfect! Oh well, she could think about it more as she searched for a target within Ponyville.

“And then Pinkie pie happened” is an excellent way to sum up any stories with Pinkie Pie in them.

Heartwarming! Pinkie strikes again!

:pinkiehappy: Glad you liked it. Merry christmass.

A job well done with the characters. What will Mayor Mare have to say about Ponyville's newest resident.

Probably something along the lines:

Glad you liked the story.

Iron. Cold iron. Not steel or any of the other alloys most blacksmiths used, but iron at its purest form without any other additives or impurities. A material known for its effectiveness against spirits and magical beings, both categories that she firmly fell into. If the pony used that, it was going to hurt. A lot.

Well didn't that wendigo said that she needed negative energy

That was especially true now that the stupid bugs had reminded the ponies that emotivores were a thing.

I imagine that there is no love lost between the two. They've probably had issues over hunting grounds every now and then for eternity. A windigo causes and feeds off of hatred and strife, while a changeling feeds on love and turns it to apathy.
Mental note: FiM equivalent to vampires vs werewolves is changelings vs windigos.

Oh. In this tale they remove the emotions that they feed upon? Interesting take...

A short, light-hearted, comedic tale. Not exceptional, but nice all the same. I appreciate this tale, and I hope you had fun writing it.

With a soundless sight, she shook her head and moved on to the next house.

I believe this is supposed to be sigh.

“As long as I don’t take too much at once there shouldn’t be,” the winter spirit replied automatically, more than a little poleaxed and unable to think of answering with nothing but the truth.

Anything, perhaps?

Last she checked only the horned ones could teleport! And even then she had seen teleports before and whatever the pink one had done had most definitely not been one! Heck, the only being that she had ever heard about bending reality to their will like that was the Lord of Chaos himself!

It would have been very scary if Pinkie Pie has that kind of power although it did happen twice in season 9 and in the comic

I would say this is a pretty interesting take on of the Wendigo so apparently this creature was looking for any negative energy from ponies or creatures but unfortunately everybody is in a great mood of this holiday specially Hearts warming which unfortunately for her Frostheart she did not find any negative from anybody and she was trying to call it a loss until Pinkie Pie showed up and take her to the party which was flabbergasted what just happened but apparently Pinkie Pie introduced bon bon which she was not in a great mood and frost heart can feel that but to her it's a good thing and Pinkie Pie even introduced Rarity which she was stressed out and feeling anxiety and Pinkie Pie told her to go for the negative energy which Frost heart did and with that Rarity a negative motion is gone and she wants to hire her which again this is surprising the Wendigo but somehow she accepted it if it means getting the negative emotion so I guess it's a win-win I would say this was a pretty interesting one and nice to see those creatures again keep up the good work

That was especially true now that the stupid bugs had reminded the ponies that emotivores were a thing.

Yeah, not the most intelligent move :moustache:

Stupid bug-ponies and their stupid invasion making things hard for everyone. Seriously, for a race of shape-shifters they wouldn’t recognize subtlety if it hit them in the face with a fish!

Agreed.
I mean what were they thinking, their entire race is practically built for stealth and subtlety, not to mention that they were virtually unknown making it even easier for them to blend in with the masses :trixieshiftleft:

As the ice-blue mare turned around while cursing her luck, she suddenly found herself letting out a very undignified squeak and rearing back in surprise as the darkness of the night suddenly turned pink .

You're night is about to get a lot more interesting :pinkiecrazy:

“What are you doing here?” a voice cold and hard as drawn steel demanded from right behind Frostheart.

Why wouldn't she be here, she was invited after all :trollestia:

“What?” the monster hunter asked with clear confusion. Awesome, now she did not have to feel alone in that regard!

:trollestia:

:rainbowlaugh: Never thought of it before, but that fits incredibly well! :trollestia:

Hmm, fun little story, definitely an interesting take on Windigos, but, if I'm honest, it felt a little rushed in places. Though, given this is a Jinglemas entry, that sort of makes sense, but still...

In particular, Pinkie instantly knowing who and what she was dealing with and why, as well as instantly getting her where she needed to be felt very contrived. Admittedly, the way you went into the whole transport thing helped a little with the latter, but it still didn't feel right.

As counter-intuitive as it sounds given the character, I think the whole cartoon reality-bending thing needs to be handled somewhat delicately. Using it for the occasional joke is fine, but either leaning into it heavily for jokes runs the risk of taking the reader out of the story and hinging actual plot on it... well, it's not impossible, but it needs to be done very carefully to avoid seeming like a lazy crutch and/or a transparent contrivance. And while I wouldn't say it goes that far in this story, it still feels kind of off.

Still, doesn't impinge on the quality too much, so I'd definitely say good job. Though it does leave me wondering about how this arrangement would work in the long term - the summer months could be... difficult for a start.

Yeah, if this had been a longer story I wouldn't have been so direct. Probably would've had a few chapters were Pinkie, Bon Bon and Frostheart would play cat and mouse and such for instance. But for a short-fic I thought it would work well.
Glad to ehar you enjoyed the story nonethless.

Cute I'd love to see more of this tamed windigo

I must admit that this has lead to a few ideas.
One that I think has potential is a windigo pretending to be a psichiatrist living in Ponyville while trying to avoid detection.

You will be befriended. Resistance is futile.

This definitely does seem like a story that wrote itself.

That was a good story.

Happy to hear you liked it. :twilightsmile:

I just wanted to swing by and let you know I made a little review for you story, and it can be found here.

Even a frost monster can't resist Pinkie Pie's infectious cheer.

This was quite a fun read! I'd love to see more of this!
