//------------------------------// // Can we build it? Meh probably // Story: when slenderman left me in paradise // by Jimbob //------------------------------// [Knight] {Me} “Twi, are we there yet?” “Almost” she was still on my back hugging me around the neck. Every now and again she would nuzzle my neck sending shivers down my spine. We head been walking down towards the Everfree for a while now, I probably could have flown there by now but I was enjoy Twilight’s company too much. We had stumbled towards a track of land that was closed in with barbwire fences. “Huh, I didn’t know you had barbed wire fences” I couldn’t see much use beyond prison security and there can’t be too much of a demand for that, what with the low levels of crime in Equestria. “Yes well, it’s not used very often except to separate dangerous land from villages.” I couldn’t see her face but I could hear the worry in her tone. I shifted my wings to nuzzle her a bit. “Don’t worry Twi I’ll be fine, I did take on a dragon didn’t I?” I felt Twilight nuzzle me in between my wings, which felt extremely good for some reason. “So I assume this is the place?” “Yes” Twilight squeaked out like Fluttershy. I reached back and ran my hand through her mane, she sighed contentedly. I took a look around the property, there were several trees as well as some rumble from what I assumed was the last attempt at residence, and that’s just what I could see! I had been told that my property extended in parts of the Everfree now, not really sure what I would do with it but I’ll figure something out. “Oh yeah I can work with this” I would have to beef up security but after I killed some wolves I figured the rest would give me my space, or get shot from half a mile away. I wasn’t really too picky about which. I walked out into the fenced in area and dug some lines in the dirt, making a rough outline of where and how big I wanted my house too be. “I’ll have to come back here at night” “AT NIGHT?!” she was worried again, she does that too much. “Yes Twi at night, how many times do I have to say don’t worry?” I would not be the reason Twilight got gray hair! “Alright, I’ll try.” I turned around and started heading back to the library to kill some time till the sun goes down, then construction! We headed back towards the library; I was thinking about how I would go about creating my house, Twilight was probably thinking of ways to convince me not to move into my dangerous, potentially deadly, new home. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX “… and that’s how we defeated discord.” Twilight had basically given me a quick run down of the history of the elements of harmony. It was nice since now I wouldn’t be lying when I said that Twilight had told me, not a child’s TV show. “And you worry about me and Timberwolves, when you take on a chaotic god with the power to create exploding chocolate milk.” “Yeah but we had the Elements of Harmony” “And I have the power of shadows” as I said this I caused a tendril of shadow too jump in between my hands. “The Elements of Harmony are stronger" “And Timberwolves are weaker than a minor chaos god.” [BOOOM! I love the smell of logic in the morning] {Smells like victory} “MINOR?!” Whoops I may have forgotten to mention to Twi that basically all human religions have chaos gods, Nordic, Greek, hell even the flying spaghetti monster could be called chaotic. But all those gods play for keeps, not messing around with the world while there are still forces out there ready to kill them. That’s why I thought Discord was a minor chaos deity, I mean the worst he did was probably emotionally changing some ponies and they still bounced back. I mean at least Loki would have mentally scared them, not saying that’s a good thing but he is a Chaos GOD! Okay rant over. “Umm where I come from there’s a couple hundred religions with Chaos Gods that make Discord look like a five year old with a lighter in a fireworks shop, chaotic? Sure, dangerous? Oh yeah, but stoppable? Well yeah you girl were able to stop him as soon as you were all back in your right mind you stopped him easy as pie. But my Chaos Gods often attempted to take over or do take over and kill hundreds in the process, not that this has happened yet.” Twilight was looking at me with a strange mixture of dubious and you’re full of bullshit. “Hey I just said it was some of our religions, they’re not always right, but the Nordic one were pretty cool, same with the Greek.” [Greeks are badass] {Definitely} “Greek?” oh great I should have known she would ask about the Greeks. I glanced out the window the sun had set and I now had an excuse to leave without hurting Twi’s feelings. “I’ll tell you later Twi for now I have to go set-up my house” she looked sad and worried. “Can I go with you?” she mumbled. I weighed the odds: more time spent with Twilight, less time making my house. Meh I didn’t have to finish my house tonight. “Sure Twi” “Good can’t have you getting hurt” I sighed, see had either ignored or forgotten the entire ‘I have powers too’ conversation we had just had. We walked out of the library and back towards my fields, soon to be house, I hope. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX “Ok so how am I gonna do this?” it was a cloudy night and everything in the field was covered in shadows which was perfect for what I needed. “Jake, what are you going to do?” “Oh I’m just gonna make a house out of shadows” “That’s crazy” “Definitely, but I ain’t paying for some contractor to build a house when I can build a sturdier one.” Twilight looked at me like I was an idiot. “Fine watch.” I imagined where I wanted my house to be and how I wanted it too be. It looked like a large two story house was emerging out of the shadows, it currently had no windows but I would change that when I was able to get some. When it was finished I felt like I had just run a marathon but when I looked at my house it was all worth it. There in front of me stood a huge house, two stories tall, with a wrap-around porch. If the inside was anything like I had imagined there should be three bedrooms, and two bathrooms, as well as a living room, dining room, and kitchen. I would have too pay for someponies to come out and the piping and everything and I would have to buy some furniture but other than that I was golden. “See I told you” I huffed while I looked back at Twi, who’s mouth was hanging open and eye’s were wide in awe. [You hear that?] {What?} Then I heard it, it was faint but it was getting closer, it was howling. A/N: Comments and Rating Appreciated.
