//------------------------------// // A new quest begins // Story: Fluttershy helps the writer // by Crystalbreeze //------------------------------// Three months passed since the writer posted the story about the mane six going on an adventure against an evil unicorn mare in the Everfree Forest. It was a very special story, because somepony helped the young writer. It was a small yellow pegasus called Fluttershy. Without her, the story could not be one of the most famous stories on FimFiction.Net. During the writing, the story's villain somehow managed to escape from Equestria and jump out of the writer's computer. The unicorn, who was called Savage Vine almost killed him and Fluttershy, but in the last moment, they finished her and finished the story too. Since then, the writer never saw Fluttershy again. It was a dark and stormy afternoon, cold wind was blowing and soon it started raining. A nearby playground was filled with children, but when the storm came closer, they all walked away. next to the playground was a huge building, a 10 stories high monument. In the 3rd floor apartment, the writer was standing in the kitchen. He was making some coffee and as it was ready, he filled it in a mug and went back to his room. He turned on the computer. When the operating system was booting, the screen became bright white. The keyboard did not work, the mouse either. It was like a power outage, but somehow the monitor was still showing that bright screen. "I've never seen anything like this before." Said the writer to himself. "Did something happen to the power supply, or what?" He stood up and looked behind the computer case. The cables were alright, none of the vents are damaged, nothing was wrong. However he could not reboot the machine. He looked back to the screen. He noticed a strange shadow in the whiteness. Seconds later a familiar creature hopped out of the monitor. It was Fluttershy, she was about the size of a squirrel, there was a bag on her back. She immediately flew up to the writer's face, she looked worried. "Oh my! I'm so happy to see you again! It was so hard to find you! I really really need you!" She said under one breath. "Hi, Shy." The boy smiled. “What’s wrong?” “No time to explain!” The tiny pony grabbed the writer’s clothes. “Come with me!” “Wait, what are you-” Fluttershy flew straight into the screen and pulled the writer with her. They disappeared from the room, the screen sucked the writer’s body into the whiteness. It was a magical portal to Equestria. In the next moment both Fluttershy and the writer stood in the middle of nowhere. There was nothing around them, only bright white. When the boy looked at the small pony, he noticed Fluttershy grew to the size of a real horse. She was much bigger than on Earth. She still looked really shocked. “Could you please explain why did you lead me here?” The boy asked. “I did, because I need you! Not only me, but whole Equestria needs you!” “Excuse me, WHAT? What happened since the mane six finished Savage Vine?” Fluttershy took a book out of her backpack and showed it to the writer. It was a big brown book with Twilight Sparkle’s cutie mark on the center of the cover. She gave it to the human. “This will explain you everything, open the book and read my memories!” He opened it. “This is empty. Every page is empty.” Fluttershy closed her eyes. Then, the book’s first page started glowing like gold. The blank page was filled with paragraphs of text. “Wow! How did you do thi-” “Read it please!” “Okay.” the writer started reading. So these are my memories of the last few weeks: After I got back to Equestria, joining my friends, together we finished Savage Vine in her castle in the middle of the Everfree Forest. As we went back to Ponyville, I told Twilight about you. The giant hooman writer, who writes stories that come true. She was amazed when she heard about your world. She couldn't help it, but she was so excited that she told everyone around her. About a week later even Princess Celestia and Luna knew about you and Earth. It was only a matter of time before the bad ponies found out that you exist.  The villains of Equestria wanted to see you, writer. You are the strongest creature beyond the pony world. The evil ponies were hungry to your special power. They wanted to write their own evil story about finishing the princesses and being the rulers of Equestria forever. If your written words come true, then if they take your ability away, they will be able to write too. It would be a disaster. Not a happy end, huh? So the villains gathered together. Their leader was a black hood wearing pony called Phantom. He used his dark energy to imprison the four princesses into Tartarus and turn the ponies into slaves. This was so terrible. Before he imprisoned Twilight Sparkle into Tartarus, the princess of friendship gave me a mission. “Find your friend, the writer! He has the ability to free us.” Then she gave me the book what you’re reading now. So I searched for you and now I finally found you… The writer closed the book. “Okay, I understand everything now.” “Will you help us, hooman?” She came closer to the writer and hugged her, she was so big and heavy, but soft and fluffy, like a horse sized teddy bear. Fluttershy cried. “Please help!” “Okay, I will. I foresee that it will be damn hard.” “Of course, but remember what you said when we wrote that story together: your friends give you courage. Do you remember?” “Yes. But I have a question: how will I be able to save your world?” “You must write everything down into Twilight’s book. What you write down there will happen. This quest will be a huge story.” The writer smiled. “Oh my god, this is sooooo cool!” “Where should we begin the quest?” She asked. “In your cottage. It will be perfect for a starting point.” “Indeed. I have some armor and swords at home. I’ll give us some weapons and then we’ll be ready to go.” “Alrighty then.” The writer blinked and started writing in the huge book: The human boy and Fluttershy disappeared from the whiteness and with a flash of light they appeared in the pegasus’ cottage. The small animals, including Angel bunny came closer to see them. Fluttershy brought knight armor and sword to the writer and to herself. They started preparing... And it all happened. The journey began...
