Fluttershy might be stronger than she looks.

At least, that's what Rainbow says. Applejack's skeptical, to say the least. Especially after she just lost an arm wrestling match. Besides, that sweet, gentle pony couldn't win a tug-of-war against butterflies, much less be stronger than her, right?

...Right?

After her own untimely and early end, Fluttershy takes up the mantle to guide souls into the afterlife through heartfelt and philosophical discussions, perhaps finding a new meaning of life... In death.

_{Hey guys... I'm back, and hopefully better than ever. I just liked this idea for a story, and haven't seen it done on here(to my knowledge), so I decided to make it. I'm not sure how frequently I will update, because of school starting up soon, but I hope to get more out as soon as I can.}

Somewhat spoiler-ish: The character tags don't feature all the characters in the story, as there will be many, just the most prominent ones I felt needed to be there.

Cover art commissioned for the story was from: SweetStrokeStudios

Fluttershy finds herself in Canterlot, along with Rarity.

Well, not exactly "with" Rarity. The problem is, Rarity doesn't seem to know that Fluttershy is there.

Fluttershy will need a lot of paper, a fair amount of luck, and a little bit of magic to capture Rarity's attention.

There’s a pest in Carousel Boutique that only Fluttershy can deal with. But what happens when it’s the one animal, the one thing in all Equestria, that Fluttershy hates more than anything? The answer: absolute bucking destruction!

They just wanted to see her limits.

What started as a simple joke turns very..... Very..... Disturbing....

Now watch as a draconaques and 5 mares watch the third biggest lightweight in Ponyville in her drunk mode.

Fluttershy was a Pegasus pony who was afraid of heights, and yet she could really reach great speeds if she put her mind to it, but found no need to boast even slightly about her achievements. Spitfire hadn't met a pony like her ever before, and she knew she was different, special.

No one knows about Fluttershy's past, life, or family. Even she doesn't know. Everyone assumes she is the shy loner, who is more shaky than an earthquake. When the forgetment spell is broken, she soon figures out who she really is. Nobody, not even her friends expect her to be an alicorn warrior, fighting demons and things scarier than Deaths army...Oh wait she's fighting those too! But something is drawing her to them, like there is something in there, important to solve this secret of the war. Will this be her destiny? Is she able to be the leader she is supposed to be?

Or risk her friends learning about it.

We all know how the story goes. About how Twilight found and united the Elements of Harmony and defeated Nightmare Moon, preventing the world from going dark and giving Luna a chance for redemption.

However, what if one of the Mane Six hadn't been a normal pony but a monster that was shunned and feared by others? How would the story have gone?

Follow us now as we tell the same story, only this time Fluttershy, the Element of Kindness is not a normal pegasus, but instead is a gorgony. A creature with snakes for a mane and can turn any creature to stone with a glance.

Out of all the mythical creatures I have read about my top favorite are vampires and gorgons. So I was greatly dismayed when I saw how few stories there were that had actual gorgon ponies in them, here on FiMFiction. Thus I decided to write this little fic. I hope you all enjoy.

While I only intended to cover the first two episodes of the show (the pilot episodes), if enough people are interested I may try to create some more stories with Gorgon-shy based around other episodes in the series.

I ended up writing this story for the Augest Longfic contest, hosted by: SPark

This story is a part of my: Gorgony-Verse.

The cover art is something I created using GIMP.

When the Cutie Mark Crusaders work to help Fluttershy when her tail gets caught on their wagon, they discover there is a whole lot more to Fluttershy's tail than what meets the eye...
