//------------------------------// // walks in the park prolog // Story: Anon has a cutiemark ? // by Tony2112 //------------------------------// My name is Anon, a 19 year old who just graduated and living alone. Today, has been rather eventful than most of my days within the span of 10 to 15 minutes. Every Tuesday, I like to walk to and from the store after working on my writing, painting, sculpting, or whatever comes to me that day. After buying a few things, I notice a sudden change in the weather. It looks like a storms coming in which means I’ll be soaked if I took my original route back home. There’s a small park that will cut my time in half and high chance of not catching a cold but, it’s route I never usually take. I usually don’t do this but; I decided to take the quickest route back home. A few minutes after entering the park, a fog came in which wouldn’t have bothered me in the slightest if, the said fog wasn’t glowing in the multiple colors of a rainbow. Just as quickly the fog it vanished and once it did; I easily took notice that the forest has drastically changed. Not only that I felt a small pinch on the back of my hands and taking a look, I see what appears to be a… pencil drawing? It's harder to see what’s all around me due to the fact that the stars are out instead of grey clouds clouds. What’s going on? Did something just happen? Was the rainbow colored fog the cause of all of this? A small but low growl snapped me out of my thoughts as I cautiously looked around. I spotted a silhouette of what I can barely see in the moons light is a wood-like wolf slowly making it’s way towards me. Without a second thought, I quickly turned around and bolted towards the opposite direction of the wolf dropping my bag from the store in the process. The bag would only slow me down as I care about living as I heard the wood-like wolf howling before giving chase. I ran as fast as I can dodging branches and being careful of my surroundings. I quickly looked behind me and see that the wolf was gaining some ground and I slightly look past it and realized something… Wolves travel in packs. Three more wolves was behind it and I looked to my left and right seeing two more wood-like wolves as I started to panic. I don’t want these wood-like wolves eating me for a late night snack. Looking a head I see a small light coming from a tree house which only means that I’m not alone and they’ll be pissed knowing that I’m bring a pack of wolves to their front door. That was until I felt one of the wolves pouncing me from behind and taking a bite out of my left shoulder, causing us to tumble over. Immediately, I was swarmed by the wolves being bitten everywhere as I felt one of them tugging one of my legs while another tugging my the sleeve of my shirt. Kicking my legs and trying to get them to stop only for one of them aiming for my throat. I was quick enough to kept it’s mouth open with my hands as I felt it’s fangs digging into my fingers getting closer and closer to my neck. I felt that my life was coming to an end only for the pencil drawing on back of my hands started to glow and quick flash, the wolf was launched backwards towards a tree. This warm sensation was a pleasant feeling as a two more wolves came towards only to be flow back like the first one. Magic? I instantly thought as the pack of wolves turn tail and ran away. I on the other hand was exhausted and in pain that I received from the pack. I limped my way towards the door and gave it few knocks. The door opened up to my surprised, It was shocking on who or what opened the door. It was small zebra with big eyes that was only tall enough to reach my chest and instantly I was pulled into the resident. :Please sit and don’t move.” The zebra spoke… I can understand her… I’m not on earth, am I? She left my sight for a few seconds before, coming back with bandages and a clear flask with green goo inside of it. After a few minutes, she was done checking my body for injured and make sure I drank all of the green goo that surprisingly take like blueberries. “My name is Zecora may I ask for your name creature?” She said as she sat across from me. “My name is Anon… I would like to say thank you for helping me Zecora.” She only nodded as her um, front hooves slightly lifted up my right arm. I’m a total stranger and maybe the only human here. Zecora is helping me out without questioning why I’m here in the first place. This place has to be a lot more peaceful than I expected. “May I ask Zecora, what’s this forest is called?” I said as she grasp my hands in her hooves. “The everfree forest that located next to a small village know as Ponyville.” Really, Ponyville that’s the name of a village? Next thing she going to tell me is that there’s two princesses that controls the sun and moon. “What’s this pencil drawing on the back of my hands? Do you know anything about it?” She looked up at me as I turn my hands my palm facing down as she looks at it for a second. “That’s your Cutie Mark Anon.” “What’s a Cutie Mark?” Zecora titled her head to the side with a puzzled look on her face that made her look adorable. “A cutie mark is often related to the personality or special talent of said pony.” But I’m not a pony why do I have one. Zecora gave me a small smile. My life just got a lot more complicated isn’t it?
