The sun was bright over the lake as fish jumped out to catch some food. The wind was light against my side as I watched the fish hunt in their own way. About ten yards to my left was a rather large Manticore, or what was left of him at least. He attempted to take my tertiary to get to the pony towns that lay at the heart. He didn't get too far though. So on a full stomach I had stretched out to my full eighty foot length in the shade provided by the trees. Perhaps I should explain myself before I get too far. My name is Radar, I prefer to keep my age to myself but I am more than twice the age of the princess of the sun. My height at the hips is around thirty-five feet and I weigh twenty tons. All together I am the largest carnivore in the Everfree forest. Now some may say that the largest carnivore was the Ursa Major, well that would be true but because of the lack of meat for an animal that size, it would revert to eating trees therefore making it an omnivore. The only reason they are seen as carnivores is because of their large sharp teeth, of which are mainly used for cutting trees. They almost never eat meat.
So ya I am the largest killer out here. I don’t count dragons because the large ones only migrate here for the summer to mate. What relay matters is what I have to kill with. First thing on the list would be the eight inch serrated teeth, And the bite force strong enough to make a Hydras spine look more like a pile of gravel. The next thing would be my arms. They can stretch out 9 feet and grab something and dig into it with the one foot raiser sharp claws, five per hand as well as the armor plating on my back and sides. Then there is my head, a reinforced skull that protects my brain, which is larger than anything else i know other than the Ursa Major, and my Spermaceti Organ. A body part that creates sound waves like the ones from sperm whales. Mine has the capabilities to create a sound wave so strong, that it can be used to disorient my pray.
So ya, my life is good. But one thing that confuses me is that the ponies have no record of me. They know more about changelings then they do about me, and to them changelings are a fairy tale. The largest carnivore that stays here year round and they don't even know it, well other than Discard and Luna but discard's in stone and Luna is on the moon after her new spell went wrong over 1000 years ago.
So, I’m sitting here, looking over the water, when something hits me, in the back of the head, hard. I roar up and everything went quiet. I stand up and rotate to face what had hit me, when I saw nothing. I turn around and see a cylinder sticking out of the ground. Walking over to it, I pulled it out of the ground, it was made of mettle, vary old mettle at that. It had some interesting creases and looked like it was made from old world armor. I tore the nose off with a great amount of effort. This was some top grade armor, and it did not look like it had any deterioration at all. Inside had paper that looked to be made from a very old recipe with plants. I unrolled the paper, of which was smaller than my palm, and read to myself,
"Radar, if thou find this then it means that thy are still alive and still in the Cantrlot area.
I need thy help 1000 years after my imprisonment, the sun celebration on this date is when I can escape. I have created a spell that will reverse this nightmare I have become. I require as much time as possible, I plan on holding my sister for most of this, but if any of her guards or brave townsfolk attempt to chase me than thou must hold them back. On this night I will return to my castle to perform this spell but by doing so will leave me at risk of attack. I ask of you, meet me at the castle, protect me during this time at all costs, then will things return to how they were."
Signed Luna"
This was nothing I was expecting, but the sun celebration is in 4 days and I’m at the other end of my territory from there. Well, guess my brake is over. I grabbed a large chunk of the manticore flesh and rushed off into the forest. New mission from an old friend in need, this should be a piece of cake.
On my way through the forest, I sensed that I was not alone. I used my "radar" to look around and found that it was my two friends, Colicer and Ralisea, trying to sneak up on me from the tree I was next to. I put the manticore meat down and use my tail to smack the tree trunk. Almost instantly, the two black forms fell out of it and landed on the ground.
"Colicer, Ralisea, you know you two can’t sneak up on me. I can see you in more ways then one."
Colicer, an older changeling, about in his teen years, had a light blue torso plate and was male, was the first to reply. "We can still try."
Ralisea, slightly younger then Colicer, and with a light pink back plate, and was female, stood up from the ground. "We are getting better, last time you saw us in front of you"
"That would be because I have something to do, I have told you about Luna right?"
The two changelings looked up at him and nodded. "ya that pony goddess that controlled the moon a long time ago."
"Yes, well it would seem that she is coming back and needs my help to fix what happened." At hearing this, the changelings looked up at him with the closes thing to puppy eyes a changeling could get. "Can we come too?"
"I don't think that is a good idea, I don't want you two to reveal the existence of changelings. That would end vary badly for you and me."
"Oh ya, forgot that part" Ralisea said in displeasure. They both put their heads down and started to walk back to their hives, of which were two diffident hives altogether.
I felt bad that they had got in into a mood like that so I said the best thing I could "aw hell, how about i bring you back some emotions for your families?"
And of cores, at herein this they both ran back with smiles on their faces that I swore would tear a muscle. "Thanks Radar, don't forget that my hive feeds on excitement." Colicer said, almost jumping up and down in glee.
"And that mine takes relief" Ralisea said, the smile stretching from one side of the face to the other.
"Don’t worry, I won’t forget" Ralisea and Colicer ran off in opposite directions and thanked me all the way till I couldn't hear them.
Ok maybe I left out something back at the lake. i have the capability to store and use emotions like changelings. I use anger and pride to heal my back armor in a fight mostly but I can store other emotions as well. They just end up on my tail as a thin coating in there solid form of small crystals.
So back to that job.
