The immortal curse

by Till_The_End


Darkness awaits

Michael was awoken by a loud thud. He looked through a window and sees a manticore trying to get a small bunny, by running through the trees at full speed. If he didn't act fast, the manticore will either see the hut and hunt around for anything or it would smell him. Michael stood in place to see what the manticore would do, and of course, it started sniffing the air. The manticore looked towards the hut and started walking towards it. Michael's heart stopped, he knows he can't die, but manticores scare the hell out of him. The manticore let out a big roar and started to run to the hut.

Michael opened the hut's door and bolted to a clearing of the everfree forest, it wasn't any better than the rest of the everfree. Michael turned back around to see the manticore still charging towards him. Michael stood his ground ready to fight, but the manticore had the first attack. The manticore left a deep gash of it's claws on Michael's chest. Michael dodged the next attack and punched the manticore in the jaw. Michael was hit again with the manticore's claws in his right arm. Michael started running towards a cliff he knew, it was about 350 feet high.

Michael got to the cliff, but he didn't expect the manticore to catch up with him so quickly. Michael tried to dodge, but the manticore tackled him off the cliff. Michael turned the manticore to the ground to make the landing hurt less. The manticore was wailing it's arms and legs around at Michael, but it wasn't long until they hit the ground.

The manticore was dead on impact, while Michael lay on the ground waiting for his cells to regenerate. While he was unconscious, he had a dream, just like all of the other dreams while he was healing, it was a nightmare.

Michael saw the town ponyville, it was very peaceful and there were no ponies around, that was strange. Ponies are usually out by this time of day. Michael peered inside the ponyville library also home of the twilight pony. What he saw horrified him, he saw that Twilight's eyes were gauged out and her limbs were cut off and hung on the wall. Michael threw up shortly after, when he peered back in, Twilight's face was right at the window. Michael jumped back and ran to a different building, it was sugar cube corner.

He peered into one of the windows, afraid of what he was going to see, he hesitated. He saw that pinkie was lying on the ground with cupcakes shoved down her throat and a giant shard of glass right through her chest. He turned around not wanting to see any more, but the dead bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Cake were right behind him, staring at him in the face. Mr. Cake was hung on a board from on top of the roof with hooks through his eyes, hands, feet, mouth, and torso. Some of Mrs. Cake's skin was torn off, her eyes were blood shot with blood running down from them and her brain was showing out of her head. Michael ran again, to the middle of town.

What he saw was truly disgusting, he saw the heads of rainbow dash and applejack pinned on a locals house. Everywhere was either their torsos or their guts were hanging off of houses or on the ground. He ran again to the carousel boutique.

He wants to see if there were any survivors. He saw that the door was smashed down, he walked inside and saw that rarity was hanging off the ceiling with a rope around her and she was torn in half, her intestine was hanging from her body to her legs on the ground. He also saw that the cutie mark crusaders were there. The only thing different was that it wasn't as brutal, except for scootaloo. Sweetie belle and applebloom had their throats slit, but scootaloo's guts were pulled out of her and shoved into her throat. Once agin he ran to the last pony left to see, fluttershy.

He got to fluttershy's cottage and ran inside. He saw that animals were sliced open and were pinned on the walls. He looked around more and saw that fluttershy wasn't murdered, but committed suicide by hanging herself. He turned around to see the rest of the mane six staring up at him, all of their bodies were intact, but each one of them had gauged out eyes. He looked up a little to see a creature, he knew it for 3,000 years. It looked a lot like a normal human, but it was more shadowy and had long twisting horns, its name is kartaborous. It gave a wicked smile, a smile that can put fear into ursa majors.

"You thought I was gone, didn't you?" Kartaborous said with a demonic voice

"I thought you were gone, how can you be back?" Michael said with a trembling voice

Kartaborous didn't say anything he just turned the entire dream into complete white and lifted Michael into the air with some type of telekinesis. "You and those damn ponies won't be safe after I am free." Kartaborous lifted a hand into air and shoved it through Michael's stomach forcing him to wake up from his unconscious state.

Michael looked around and saw hundreds of books stacked on shelves and there were 6 bipedal ponies sitting around, of course it was twilight and her friends. Twilight was reading biology and mythology, rainbow dash was reading daring do, pinkie was sitting on a couch humming a song, applejack was asleep with her hat over her face, rarity was sitting on the same couch as pinkie looking worried, and fluttershy was in the corner.

"Twilight darling, do you really think it's okay to bring this repulsive thing into your home?" Rarity said making a scowl when she said 'repulsive thing'

"Well, I'm just trying to find out what it is, my books of biology didn't have anything about it, but the mythology book had a description of it." Twilight said not looking away from her book.

Michael cringed every time they said it. Michael slowly sat up waiting for a perfect time to start running out the door. Everypony started to huddle around Twilight, which was perfect. Michael slowly got up and tiptoed towards the door. 'CREEEEK'. Michael cringed and heard a few gasps behind him, he turned around to see all six ponies staring at him. Michael ran to the door and opened it, but was caught by a purple aura. His body was stuck in midair, his body turned around and faced twilight.

Michael looked around to see rainbow and applejack glaring at him, he didn't care many different people or species in the past did the same. He saw pinkie smiling at him, go figure. Rarity giving him a scowl, while twilight was giving him a puzzled look. Fluttershy is, and was, in the corner of the library.

"Look, I will be your slave as long as you feed me." Michael said jokingly

Applejack stared daggers at Michael, strong enough to kill an Ursa Minor. He could have sworn he heard a giggle from rainbow dash. It wasn't long until he was thrown on to a nearby couch. Twilight started asking questions, 'why does the universe have to try to kill me with boredom.' said Michael thinking to himself

"First question: What are you?" Twilight asked

"I'm a human, also known as a homosapian." Michael answered

"Okay... where did you come from?"

"Here."

Everypony looked at Michael quizzically.

"You're telling me that you're a new species?" Twilight asked

"No, my species used to be the dominant race, until an apocolypes because of... HIM."

"Him?" Rainbow said

"That is something I don't want to talk about."

Everypony looked over at each other and at Michael a couple times. Twilight cleared her throat going on with her question mania.

"So, if your species used to be the dominant species... you're the only one that equestria has ever seen... exactly how old are you?" asked twilight

"... ...over 4,000." Michael said barely could be heard

"What was that?" Rainbow asked

"I said I... am... over 4,000 years old." Michael said trying not to choke on his breath, should have just said that he woke up from an imprisonment.

Everypony's mouths were on the ground, figuratively speaking... except for pinkie pie, for her it's literally. They all stayed still and stared at Michael in disbelief for about 3 whole minutes. They all huddled around eachother, probably talking about how being 4,000 is possible.

Applejack walked up to Michael and looked him in the eyes. "He's... he's telling the truth." Applejack said

They all huddled back up, but once in a while one of them would look up at him. Twilight walked up to Michael after a short while saying "so... you're older than the princesses? AMAZING NOW I CAN LEARN ABOUT ANCIENT HISTORY." Twilight yelled in excitement.

Michael, for one, wasn't as excited......... 'SHIT, MOM -or Zecora- WILL BE WORRIED ABOUT ME, I HAVE TO GO NOW!' Michael stood up going to the door, but once again, a purple aura stopped him.

"Where are you going?" Twilight asked

"Look, I'd love to stay and chat, but I have to get back to my mom." Michael said struggling to get out of the levitation spell

"You're mom is still alive, I thought you said you were the last one." Rainbow said

"I am the last one, she just adopted me after she found me wondering the everfree forest." Michael said getting tuckered out

"You're adoptive mother lives in the everfree forest? Is she a zebra named Zecora?"

"Yes... NOW LET ME GO! SHE'S GOING TO BE WORRIED ABOUT ME!"

"Alright, we can come with you. Your mother is a friend of ours." Twilight said

"Well, I guess you can come. It will be fine to actually not talk to one pony... or zebra to talk to."

Before Michael and the 6 went into the forest, they had to make a stop at fluttershy's cottage. She needed to feed them. A few minutes later of helping feeding the animals and battling a small bunny when fluttershy isn't looking, they left through the everfree forest. Michael left angel bunny in a locked pantry with carrots.

They arrived at the hut and walked inside. "I'm home." said Michael

Zecora walked around the corner, but she was angry. "Why weren't you here? I told you to stay, to not spread fear." Zecora said

Michael stepped back ready to get yelled at, but it was silent. Zecora walked up to Michael, then looked past him, looking at the mane 6. Zecora looked back at Michael and smiled.

"I see that they do not fear you, but you do have chores to do." Zecora said

"Oh yeah, I was supposed to do my chores... but a manticore attacked me earlier." Michael said. He was going to have to explain this to twilight and the others.

"Wait wait wait, you were in a fight with a dang manticore? How in the name of celestia did you survive?" Rainbow asked

Michael took a deep breath and turned to the 6. Michael explained what gapped about 4,000 years ago with a creature turning him immortal.

"Wait, what did this creature look like?" Twilight asked

"Well, he had a paw for his right arm, a talon for his left arm, a dragon head, and many more parts of his sick body." Michael said

"Discord did this to you?" Rarity asked

"I guess... wait, how do you know who he is?"

"He, uhh... he is our f-friend." Fluttershy said, unfortunately she was in the back of the group, so I could barely hear her.

Michael looked at them shocked, they were friends with the thing that made his curse. He sat down on the couch thinking of how easy it would be to get his revenge now.

"Can you get him for me." Michael said through his clenched teeth

"No need, I am right here." said discord... as a black flower.

Discord turned back to normal and stood in front of Michael.

"You said you needed me did you not?"

Michael stood up and clenched his fists, he raised his right fist in the air and slammed it into discord's face.

"Well, that is one way to say hi." Discord said getting to his feet... I guess.

Michael ran towards discord to throw another punch, but rainbow dash slammed him to the floor. "What the hay is wrong with you!?" Rainbow yelled. Michael struggled to get out of rainbow's grip, but to no success. Getting out of the fastest flyer's grip is not an easy feat.

Rainbow let go when Michael calmed down, but twilight still made a force field around Michael. Everypony and thing sat down. Zecora went outside to find a certain flower, plus she didn't want to be in the middle of a confrontation.

"Now, what is the problem, other than being immortal." said twilight

"That is the only problem. Because of this discord, freak of nature, making me immortal. My friends and family die, while I still live, whenever someone befriends me or becomes my girlfriend, they end up dieing while I have to live with the guilt; and because of discord, he has to be in my head." said Michael

"Again with the him and he thing, what are you talking about?" Rainbow said

"And I said I don't want to talk about it." said Michael

oh, you're talking about me again.

WHAT, YOU CAN TALK TO ME IN MY HEAD NOW? GREAT, JUST GREAT.

Don't worry about me showing up any time soon, you have exactly 2 years until I have my full power; and if you ever tell anyone about my existence, this will happen

Michael's started to feel like it was going to explode, he got down on one knee crying in pain.

I know I can't kill you, but It will torture you until you don't talk. Do you understand?

Michael got back onto the couch, while everypony was looking at him like he was crazy... and apparently discord wasn't here anymore.

"Look, I just had a headache and I wish to rest." said Michael

The ponies looked at eachother and shrugged, shortly after everypony has left the hut. Michael just lied on the couch closing his eyes to sleep the day off, yes he was worried about what kartaborous would do to the ponies, but he did say he won't get out in 2 more years.

Your world will burn
