As he was about to reach the pastel yellow pony his vision fogged and when it cleared he was right in front of her.
She looked a lot shorter when she was far away because now she towered over him. The serine expression she had but moments ago was gone now replaced by a horrifying glare.
"Hi?" he muttered crouching he began to crawl away.
Her hoof flew up catching him on his jaw sending him flying backwards. In a snarl she gritted "be gone accursed abomination!" she kicked with her back legs, the blow connected with his eyes and the world disappeared.
He stumbled away blind and in pain. Blood had once again begun to trickle out from under his bandages.
after he was out of sight Fluttershy shook her head and with a perplexed look down at angel who was stare half horrified and half amazed, "what happened?...i blanked out there for a bit...what is it angel?"
The white pony fell over gasping as his eyes reformed and the cracking of bones fixing wracked his body
"Curse...this...curse I'm out of the forest isn't that what had the curse in effect? Who.. Or what placed a curse like this its..Madness...madness"
A snapping grin slowly ran across his face. I kill. And yet I cannot die...I must be a... death god or something along those lines, why else would I bleed but to signify the bringing of death?"
Hunched over he walked back to his cottage. A feeling like that of a thousand staples piercing his spine.
"NO! You are not a death god, your cursed THIS ISN'T YOUR fault. STOP, FIGHT BACK." he focused on what he had just said and it seemed that the blood slowed.
"Yes. I'm not broken I'm a pony...a pony who someone hated and now...wants me to suffer. But I WON'T, NOT ANYMORE; but the blood...it kills" he let out a roar. "SHUT UP" the dialog with himself stopped.
Exhausted he collapsed on his bed he lay there for who knows how long.
Rainbow dash got up, she was restless. GYAAAAAAH I haven't gone flying all day!
She threw a pillow across the room and busted out of her door and flew into the sunset.
The wind was rushing through her mane, she breathed in the cool dusk air. She thought she could smell rain.maaaan i gotta move that rainstorm in tomorrow, ah that cirrus cloud loos real comf;OH MY CELESTIA WHAT IS THAT SMELL"
She grasped her snout as the rancid smell assailed her nostrils. Smells like a dead deer
She flew in the direction of the smell expecting something foul but instead was confronted by a strange shack. Isn't this applejack's old chicken coop.
She turned to leave but a hacking cough from inside caught her attention.
That sounded like a wounded animal I better take it to Fluttershy WOAH."
The door opened and a haggard pony emerged from the shack, a crimson river of blood cascading from to open wounds above his eyes. Before her lay a defeated soul it gazed into her eyes with fear that touched something deep within her...
She approached the pony who shrank away and curled up into a ball shivering.
"It's okay. I'm not going to hurt you...what's your name?"
She stretched out a hoof to pull it up.
It lifted its head its empty gray eyes were impossible to meet. "You...you see me...as...what a really am?"
"Of course, what else could I see you as, you're a wreck. She grasped its hoof and lifted it to its feet. it was surprisingly tall standing a head above her but somehow managed to seem small and helpless.
It opened its mouth and broken speech dribbled out. "Name… I remember"
"Remember what" she took an exercise cloth and tied it around the ponies head. "There that should stop the blood you really should see a doctor"
"A name...I remember a name...Chimera. My name...is it...no..yes..chimera..call me chimera"
She what rubbed her head "what? Your name is chimera? huh..odd name..my name's rainbow dash.. Say you let me take you to town and get you fixed up?"
Fear grasped chimera's eyes. "No they'll try and kill me…and then they might die! No more death."
It clutched its head its head "curse...I'm cursed any living thing. It tries to kill me...and then dies hate...so much hate"
"uuuuuhhh okay.." rainbow looked up at the sky "it's getting late, I should really be heading home but don't worry i'll bring by some better medical...stuff. You know how to use it right?"
Chimera began to walk back inside the hut. "yes… Somehow I do..."
Rainbow flew off into the gloam. Chimera closed the door and his heart began to race. "Who was she? How did it not effect her...plan ,plan...I need a plan.."
He took the box out from under the desk like thing and set the box on it." its locked but with no key… I can think more clearly now somehow she fought off the curse a bit."
A latch clicked open on the front of the box and a small panel with strange pictures on it was revealed, but the box was still locked.
"A monster. A black cloud...a knot...what...huh a riddle, how are these things connected... a knot binds two things together...now the cloud black storm cloud? Weather, bind, now the monster..."
He scratched his head, the monster had a mishmash of animal parts. "chaos...bind, weather...LOYALTY!"
For the first time in over 200 winters he smiled. "LOYALTY BINDS EVEN THROUGH CHAOS AND STORMS."
A small spark flicked off of his mane and drifted into the darkening air.
Rainbow rubbed her wings, she was tired but not from the short flight, that pony. Broken and torn wings, broken horn. i wonder what made him like that...not even a dragon could those kind of injuries off on pony his size. Also how is he alive judging by the smell he's bleed well over four pints of blood."
"Cause what did that to him wasn't of this world."
Rainbow stood bolt upright. "WHO'S THERE?!"
A small flicker of light entered the room then dissipated. "Only you can help him... noticed didn't you?"
Rainbow backed away. "What? Oh and I don't like disembodied voices"
"His wounds are ancient but are still open."
"Yeah I noticed but what is it to you?" rainbow relaxed a bit if this thing was going to attack her it would have already.
"I'm a part of him and he must never know of my existence… EVER and so after I'm done talking you will not remember this encounter. Someday we may meet again."
Rainbow looked quizzically at the spark "but if you're just going to erase my memory then why tell me?"
The spark flashed and everything went white. "Because my mistress needs you to act upon it"
