The sun was high in the air, about in the middle. The early afternoon breeze was blowing, and there was a perfect number of clouds in the sky. The weather was perfect for a day to sit down and relax. If you were near the edge of the Everfree Forest, you could see in the distance you could see an arrange of animals scurrying around with a pony with them with a basket near a hill.
Fluttershy was gracefully kneeling to pick a flower, while her animals scuttered around to help too. With the help of her animals, and her wonderful singing/humming, she managed to almost pick a whole basket full of top-notch flowers, which she was sure Princess Celestia would dearly enjoy.
While she was taking a little break, a squirrel came near her and tugged her tail. When she looked around, it presented her with a dandelion. Fluttershy bent down to speak to it gently, saying,
"Thank you, little squirrel, but remember, these flowers are for Princess Celestia. Only the prettiest would do." she reminded kindly with a smile. The squirrel nodded understanding, but suddenly a small gust of wind blew, and the dandelion's seeds blew away with it. With the flower part gone, the squirrel sheepishly hid the stem behind its back before looking for more flowers.
Fluttershy went towards the top of the hill where there was also a basket of apples and a few rocks. She was about to pick another flower before a series of knocks came from nowhere. Being the easily frightened pony she was, she immediately hid behind the basket of apples, pouring the flowers to the ground everywhere in the process. She peeked out to see what made the noise.
Behind one of the rocks, a Parasprite came into view, with its adorable eyes, round blue body, long wings, and slender legs.
Seeing that it wasn't a threat, Fluttershy was fascinated by the insect she had never seen before.
"I never saw a little guy like you before." she said. While she was observing the insect, it came to an apple on the ground, showing interest in it.
"Are you hungry?" she asked. She mushed the fruit into a goop and gestured it to eat. What she didn't expect though, was for it to suddenly fly to the apple basket, and eat all of the apples in there. A bit shocked, but still loving the cuteness of the parasprite, she let it settle in her mane as she packed up her stuff.
But as she started to put the flowers back while her animals helped her, Lighting Heaven rushed in, panting and gasping for air. She collapsed as she started to catch her breath. She then started to elegantly trot up while stumbling to Fluttershy , who was confused.
"Hello- Fluttershy-" they said. "I don't know if perhaps you have a pet insect right now?" they said in each breath. Fluttershy was even more confused. And she was pretty sure this little filly was familar, she just couldn't put her hoof on it.
"I saw when I was coming up here, that you had a little friend with a big appetite. I got a book of cookies which I'm sure your pet would like." they advertised. They then levitated a box of them near Fluttershy, hopefully catching her attention.
"Oh, uh, sure! Let me just get my bits." Fluttershy said, as she went near the stump which used to have the apples and searched a bit. While she was distracted, Lighting Heaven creeped up behind her, and slowly grabbed the parasprite out of Fluttershy's mane. But then she noticed there was another one all the sudden.
Quietly panicking, she both grabbed them with levitating powers. She then quietly sneaked away, leaving the box of cookies behind. When she was far enough not to get noticed, she then made a run for it.
Fluttershy who was oblivious, she finally got the bits out. But when she searched around, the filly was gone. She was confused, before seeing that the cute little insect was gone. Thinking it must've flown away, she realized that the box of cookies she hadn't paid for was on the stump.
I successfully got the parasprite in my grasp! Running back to Twilight's library with all my might, I rushed towards the town. Taking short breaks every once in a while, I made it back. I hate running, I swear to the gods above, I need to be more prepared.
Getting the filly scout outfit off me, and Twilight and Spike tending to me, I held the now sixteen parasprites in mid-air. I let them go a few times by accident, and they ate more food. Thank goodness nobody barely noticed. Though they're showering me with unconditional love, tickling me, which I don't think is a downside.
I think I'll go back to my room, I had way too many events for a week. Taking the necromancer book out of the sub-storage, I started to binge read it. But as I took one step, I almost tripped as parasprites were flying all over me.
The parasprites were getting out of control. It's almost like they're more attracted to me than food, I mean, of course I'm irresistible, but still is a bit weird. They were making me almost float from the floor to my room, which was a fun experience.
Of course, I managed to stay on the floor, and open the door to my room. Observing the room for a spilt second, I almost had a heart attack. The book I had been reading fell towards the floor, and the parasprites started to quiet down.
What caused the change, you might be asking?
Rae was right there, reading the cursed necromancer book. There was a extra seat next to her, which definitely wasn't there before. She then turned towards me, beckoning for me to sit down on the extra chair.
Time seemed to slow down.
I could feel my eyes twitch out of exhaustion.
This is going to be a doozy.
