Same disclaimers as last chapter
Book the Second AKA Finding a calling.
I awoke shortly before the dawn in the area that I had falsely attributed to a forest. Yes there were trees but they were more spaced out than those in a forest would be. I made a quick decision to leave the area when my stomach growled and I had realized that hadn't eaten in hours. Looking around I couldn't find any food on the ground (I would've just wiped off the dust). I looked into the trees and saw apples. So I reached up and took a couple. I made sure to save the seeds in case I came across the owner of whoever owned this place. I had quickly made my way out of the orchard (for that was what I now perceived it), and made it to the top of a hill. Something made me stop and just watch the sunrise, which is a rare occurrence for me. I just sat and watched it. I immediately thought of home, even if half of me was happy to be away from them and wondered if I was being missed. I would have given anything to have gone home at that moment. After a few minutes of remorse that I may never get to see my family again. I got up and moved to the forest that I saw in the distance, something about the forest made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. I shouldn't have even bothered heading that way as a few steps towards the forest I heard a scream from my left. I immediately started running in that direction and saw a small village. I would have known the name if my mind wasn't on protection mode.
I ran without thinking into the town and immediately met up with a guy that was about my height but was more muscular than I was. I could see he was busy torturing a creature that resembled a small pony. My kind demeanor instantly disappeared as I said, “Why don't you pick on someone your own species.” He turned to look at me as the pony ran and said, “Another weakling, but I'm surprised I'm not the only person here. Why did you get involved in that. That didn't concern you.” With that last sentence he charged at me. I did what my instincts told me to, mainly get him away from something that can't defend itself. So I ran for the area that I had watched the sun rise. By now, the sun had risen to about what I would say is the 8 o'clock position when I had reached the hill. We were both pretty tired but I had one advantage over him, just like he had one over me. I was still thinking clearly while his adrenaline was pumping his body with a second wind. I turned back to face him when that girl I had met whenever I had awoken popped into my head. I looked down at my side and, sure enough, the blade was still there. I drew it when the guy I was facing reached behind him and to late noticed the zanbantou on his back. I just had to run into this without thinking didn't I, was my first thought while my second thought went back to my home world. I had remember what I had learned, well watched about swordsmanship. I settled into a one handed stance that I remembered seeing multiple times. He charged at me and swung his sword at my head planning to decapitate me. It would have worked if I hadn't ducked. I sliced at his leg as he shifted his blade to take another slice at me. I succeed slicing his leg and rolled out of the way as he took a step back and swung at me again. I felt pain shoot through my left arm. I forced myself not to cry out in pain as I got up. I looked at my hand and almost fainted. There was a lot of red, and my left arm was quickly becoming numb. The man laughed as I looked at my hand. “Playing hero wasn't all it was cracked up to be, was it,” he asked sarcastically. I put my sword in my mouth and gingerly put my hand to my shoulder. I bit down on my sword to avoid screaming in pain. I quickly let my left arm go and put my sword back in my right hand, my left hanging uselessly at my side in pain. “You don't know me very well. Pain is a just reason to defend others from you, ugly,” I replied with a smile, music popping into my head. That seemed to make him laugh louder, “There's the trash talk I've been waiting for. Picking on those ponies didn't provide the thrill I needed. Now, let's end this.” With that he charged at me again as I readied myself to attack him. It must have looked like a scene out of a movie or something. We both sliced at each other as we passed. I could feel him hit me. That combined with all the pain I had been pushing through forced me to my knees. Looking back at my opponent and saw him falling. Before he hit the ground, though, he burst into green flames. The man had disappeared before he hit the ground. I turned around and just sat in silence. I then started a relived laughing and put my sword down right next to me. I grasped my left arm up near the shoulder and found the arm didn't pain me as much. It would appear that I have improved regenerative properties here. Thats intresting,very, very interesting, were my thoughts at that time. Funny thing, time. I began to feel tired when I saw a grey pegasus land next to me, and in a few moments a brown pony with chestnut hair was beside it. "Well this is interesting. Let's get him back to the TARDIS quickly Ditzy," the brown pony said. From his voice I would have to say he was a male. The pegusus next to him nodded to him and they both lifted me up onto the pegasus's back as something hit me over the head.
