As silent went inside of the orphanage he was greeted by the sight of those three fillies he saw earlier. The earth pony came up and said.
"Hi there partner. We were wondering who you were? And do you have a cutie mark?" Her accent was western. She was obviously a relative of the stetson wearing pony. Silent merely shook his head no and went to his bed. When he was there he saw out the corner of his eyes that the fillies were inching closer. He decided to freak them out to get them to leave him alone. He pulled his hood off and took a sandwich with meat on it out of his bags. The 3 fillies recoiled in shock. Silent then began to eat. The three fillies turned green and started screaming and tearing out of the building. Silent then showed the first emotion in 2 years. He chuckled. His voice obviously didn't belong to a colt. It was deep and gravelly. It was obviously hoarse from not using it since his parents death. Silent put his hood back on and continued to eat.
Soon enough when he was finished eating 6 ponies came into the building. It was the 3 fillies as well as the stetson wearing pony and the rainbow pony. As well as another pony that had a white coat with purple hair. They looked at the colt and said to the fillies.
"Where's the monster?" They asked. The fillies were trembling as they pointed at silent.
"But that's just a young colt. And you said that the monster ate meat."
"HE DID EAT MEAT!" Said the white filly.
They looked at me. "Did you ever eat meat in your life." I nodded and the ponies looked shocked. To prove my point i pulled out another sandwich with manticore meat on it. I took a bite out of it. The ponies turned green and looked like they were going to throw up. The fillies actually did throw up into a nearby trashcan.
"A- Are you at least a griffin?" Asked the white pony with purple hair.I shook my head no and took my hood off. They were shocked to see an ordinary colt.
"W- Why are you eating meat? And what meat is that?" Asked the rainbow pony.
I went through my backpack and took a notebook. I wrote down. "It's manticore meat. And i eat it because it tastes good." I then gave it to them. They were shocked to see that it was manticore meat.
"Y-your joking right?" I shook my head and took the meat out of the sandwich. They could smell the unmistakable scent of a manticore.
"How did you find a dead manticore?"
I then wrote down. "I found a live manticore and killed it." To prove my point again i stomped the ground as hard as i could. It felt like an earthquake as happening. The fillies and the ponies on the ground were terrified. But the Rainbow Pegasus was looking angry.
"Well your going to have to leave. We can't have someone as dangerous as you around here." I took the note book back.
I wrote down. "And go where? This is the only place in Equestria i have yet to visit for a full day. I've been turned away from every other place in Equestria. I would have thought that 3 of the elements of harmony would be understanding for me." As i was writing the air seemed to get colder around me. I gave the notebook back to them and they looked shocked to see that he had traveled around equestria and he knew about them. They stared at me. and gave back the notebook. I glared at them with a stare that could make the toughest drill instructor whimper in fear. They left the building and i went and laid down on my bed. I got some clothes ready for the next day. I slowly fell asleep hoping that nobody would bother me. The bed was extremely comfy and ive been sleeping on the ground for a while.
