A Good Share of Lives

by Sea Pony


Snowdrop

I tried to summon a wave of water on the beast. But as soon it appeared it fell in front of me. My eyes widden in alarm I had used all my magic, I could use some from my reserve but I risk my life if I do so.

Cold Heart snorted like a bull and then galloped in my direction. I had no time to react as he headbutt me. I landed face first in the snow after the hit, the King snickered. "Tired arleady? Let me help to get you to sleep...forever!" The windigo tackled me, not only I was sent on the ground once again but my whole body shivered from the intense cold from the beast's magic.

Horseapple I don't want to risk using my magic but if I don't I will die anyway. Let's hope I will survive this, if I don't I will forever haunt Roxanne for sending me here.

The cold monster charged at me once again. Meanwhile I lift both hooves above myself and screamed at the top of my lung as I focused on making the biggest spiritual orb I ever did. After a few second it was almost as big as me. I jumped forward as Cold Heart came just in front of me. "This is for Morning Dew, Snowdrop and everypony you wronged in the past!" I then slammed the ball of magic on it's face with all my remaining energy.

"Ahhhh! I can't be defeated! I am the King of the windigoes we are immortal!" As if to chalenge him the orb decided at this moment to exploded, sending me and the King crashing in the opposite directions.

I pant loudly I didn't know if I would survive this fight or not. "Must...Stay awake...Meek Sky, mom...I'm sorry." The dark unconsciousness enveloped me in what I believed was my last moment as Winter Song.

A day, it's crazy all that can happen in the span of a single day. Steven Roy was your everyday guy. A beautiful wife, a son and a daughter. All gone because of these blood-sucking abominations.

The man closed his eyes and let out a sigh. He placed his thrusty pistol on his forehead before opening his eyes again. "You will all die motherfuckers!" Steven kicked the door down and began to shoot every ghoul in sight. The four monsters that stood before the house were now nothing but dust. "Come on you bitches I just begun! Dinner is served with extra iron!"

"I like humans." A voice said from a rooftop, the man look up and saw a dark grey stallion with a black and red cape. "You guys never give up even when your situation is hopeless. It's so satisfying to take all that hope away."

Steven shot two bullets at the vampire. But Titiritero easily sidesteped between them before vanishing in a blood-red magical light.

The next thing he knew Steven felt something savagely bite his neck and he screamed in agony. It took only fifteen second before the human went limp. Titiritero retracted his fangs from his victim and open his mouth wide. a blue aura began to leave Steven's body and made it way into the undead's mouth.

Once it was done a small orb of light flew out of the body and floated in direction of the sky. Titiritero sighed. "Humans souls are good but not as satisfying as ponies."

"We're not here for you to feed anyway." Gaia said seemingly appearing from the shadows. "Speaking of which are you almost finish gathering your army?"

The vampire let out a annoyed grunt. "I guess we could go right now. But when I attack a town I prefer leaving no survivors."

"Fine, you have two hours to kill the remaining mortals after that we're going in Equis." The Elder Goddess replied.

"Yes boss!" The undead replied with a sadistic grin.

The first thing I felt when I wake up was that I was drained of energy and my body ashes from the fight with the wendigoes. "You've been asleep for almost two days. You're lucky you even made it. A little more magic used in that last attack and you were a goner."

I looked at the source of the voice and saw the same filly I had saved from the King. "You're Snowdrop right? I imagined you would look older than a eight year old filly." I then caught sight of the necklace she wore. On it was the symbol of a quill dipping in ink. It's was the symbol of our creator the Elder God Author but it's was also a symbol of wisdom. "You're a Eternal Child aren't you?"

She seem to hesitate for a few seconds before nodding. Eternal Children were a controversial condition where somepony had the phobia of growing up and decided to live with the appearance of a foal. Naturally some through it was only an excuse for them to take advantage of real children. In some worlds they were even killed on sight.

That was before a boy named Peter Pan rose to defend them. After years of struggle the council made an agreement they would permit the existance of Eternal Children and protect them from bigotry as long as they wore the symbol of Author to show to everypony they were older than what it's seem.

"Why did you made all this travel to save me? You should have left me inside King Cold Heart I have nothing left to go to."

"I need your help to protect my family. Beside I couldn't let these ponies suffer from the wendigoes and do nothing." I replied.

"The wendigoes will come back there still too much hatred here for them to give up this place so easily." She then sighed. "I suppose since you got in troubles for saving me the least I can do is help you, even if I didn't wanted to be saved."

"Cool when do we begin?!" I asked excitedly.

"When we're back in Equestria. It should be between months or years before the Wendigoes come back. But I prefer to not take any chances. And beside you will need all your magic for my training."

I groaned disappointed I had to wait that long.

"Thank you little filly for taking care of the tyrant." Morning Dew exclaimed. "Now that the looters lost their leader I will finally have enough bits to join my wife in Fillydelphia. I owe you big if you need help with anything you just have to tell me."

I smiled at the stallion. "Thanks I will remember it. But we must go, my family and my fillyfriend will be worried sick if I'm gone for too long." The stallion nodded in understanding. I said bye a last time before me and Snowdrop began to fly in direction of Equestria. I was worried I would have to guide her. But Snowdrop seem to have an extremely well developed sense of orientation for a blind pony.

"How long was I gone?" Snowdrop asked suddently.

"Huh?" I responded confused of the sudden question.

"How long ago did I disappeared? Time was a blur while I was imprison but last time I was here they weren't as accepting to homosexuality as that stallion. Even you seemed to mention you prefer girls without even being scared of who know about it. Thing like acceptance take time and even through Equestria was always accepting of these type of things somepony like you wouldn't feel so safe around strangers."

"...Well I can't say it's perfect we still have problem with a few transphobic there and there. But anyway I think it's been around two hundred years since anypony heard of you. Princess Luna tried to send guards to save you but they were too coward to-" I noticed Snowdrop wasn't listening anymore.

"P-princess Luna?" She asked almost whispering. "But she's in the moon."

To me it was weird to think somepony still through Luna was banished she's been back since before I was born after all. "No she's been freed from Nightmare Moon with the elements of harmony around nineteen years ago." Before I could even blink Snowdrop flap her wings with all her strenght and shot past me like a rocket. "Hey wait for me!"
