New Life of a Crow

by Knight of Crows


That went well enough

Twilight POV

What we just witnessed has left everypony completely slackjawed, this...Stallion? He didn't just take down that dragon, he utterly destroyed him. Not long after the slaves we were going to save were all running out of the tunnels, did this stallion free them? What happened to the diamond dogs? What was that giant black weapon that appeared out of nowhere? None of this makes sense and I have so many questions.


Princess Celestia POV

We arrived just in time to see one of the most dangerous dragons in Equestria since mother and father ruled just fall to this pony who took him down in less than a minute. It would have taken me and Luna with dozens of guards to accomplish this and this pony does this alone. I must see him myself, he could be a great ally if we are ever in need.


Princess Luna POV

I cannot believe what I have just seen, and it seems sister and everypony else are thinking the same. Just who is this pony and why is he here, how could anypony but an alicorn obtain such power without me or Celestia noticing him sooner? The best we can do is hope he isn't an enemy, but knowing how pathetic the guard of today is compared to 1000 years ago they are going to ruin this. I may need to step in if that is the case.


Ryan POV

I think I used too much power if my heavy breathing and dizziness is anything to go off of. Now I have to deal with these ponies and hope for 2 things: they don't attack out of fear and they can be reasoned with. Here goes.

"This is not how I expected to meet you, but I can say you're welcome for doing your job for you." so far so good, no one's shouting or att-.

"Die monster!" GOD DAMN IT. a guard said interrupting my line of thought then charged at me with a barbed spear (why is that allowed, that reminds me, I still need to forge the Gae Bolg) and this is going to hurt.

"AAAAARRGHHH!" I grabbed hold of the spear as it pierced my abdomen

"You should consider yourself lucky that I am a very understanding person, otherwise you would be painting that tree over there, had anyone else been in my position you and any number of your friends would either be dead right now and if you survived, a dishonorable discharge would be the least of your worries." I pulled out the spear then let my body heal itself before throwing his spear clean through several trees, knocking several of them down. It took 3 seconds before we heard it stop. He started shaking then.

"Your fuck ups include, but are not limited to armed assault, attempted murder, and reckless endangerment of everyone here and if those 2 with the crowns actually are royalty then endangerment of the crown which in this case could be considered treason. Back in my day you would have been arrested possibly killed by your own comrades on the spot!" He ran back to everyone else and hid behind them, the coward.

"Next time think before you act, otherwise it could cost you everything, assuming you're even allowed to live long enough to regret it." now turning to the rest "The next person to do something like that to me before I even think of saying or doing anything that could reasonably be taken as threatening TO YOU will find a few more holes in their body." after finishing that sentence I saw the 2 tall winged and horned ponies walking up to me.


Princess Celestia POV

This pony, no, whatever he is has surprised us again. I expected him to kill that guard if he survived, but instead gave him and the rest of our guards potentially life saving advice then threw the spear with enough force to knock down almost every tree in it's path for 3 seconds. I need to correct this, I'll deal with the guard later if Luna doesn't do so first, but right now damage control takes priority.

"I thank you for showing him mercy and I am sorry for my guard's actions and will see to it he is punished accordingly, allow me to heal you. I am Princess Celestia and this is my sister Princess Luna, the diarchs of Equestria, and may I ask who and what you are? I don't believe I've ever met your kind." wait, where's the wound?

"Your welcome and that doesn't surprise me since I'm the last of my race, and technically I'm no longer what I was born as anyway. Also healing me isn't necessary since it's already healed." all this surprised me greatly and also hurt knowing this "I was born a human and to answer your other question I'll tell you when I think of a new one." why not the name you were born with I wonder.

"Sister, if I may interrupt, I believe we should deal with this after we help the former slaves and any diamond dogs left." Luna reminded me

"I'm sorry, but the only survivor is the 1 dog I interrogated to learn where the slaves and the leaders were. Be prepared for a very gruesome sight if you go down there." what "To be fair I gave them a chance to resolve this peacefully even after they broke into my home and tried to enslave me, needless to say that failed miserably, what would you expect? The survivor is yours if you want him though." I was about to respond when I heard what sounded like an alarm going off.


Ryan POV

I pressed the accept button on my phone which I keep forgetting to fix so it doesn't immediatly turn on speaker "Yes Emily, do you need something?"

"It's Misty, th-"

"What's wrong, tell me now!"

"The cryo pod just started malfunctioning, she's on life support now, come quick."

"Don't need to tell me twice." I turned back to the princesses "If you want to come just follow the bodies, we can continue there." I heard Luna tell me to stop as I was running off, I'm not going to lose her permanently.


Princess Luna POV

"Sister, we need to go with him!"

"Luna there are too many unknowns right now and you said so yourself we need to focus on our ponies." Tia, must you be so thick sometimes?

"You heard what this Emily said and if life support is anything to go by then somepony dear to him is is danger, if you want him as an ally then this is the chance. I'll go with or without you."

"You're right, Twilight I'm entrusting everypony to you, make sure they reach their homes safely."

"Consider it done Princess." we set off after the human after.


Mane 6 POV

"Shouldn't we be going in there Twi? That thing could be evil!" said Rainbow

"Believe me Dash, as much as I would like to the Princess gave us orders to see to everypony else first. Besides, considering how easily that thing took down that dragon and taking into all the freed slaves not only would we not stand a chance if he is evil, but we would only get in the way if we did go. All we can do is hope he is on our side." Twilight said firmly
