//------------------------------// // Prologue ONE - An Unseen Fate // Story: A Dragon's Pain - REloaded // by D Styles //------------------------------// PROLOGUE ONE I was your average brony, nothing special about me. Sure, I was kind of popular around school and despite being a brony still respected by every other type of person. Maybe I was pretty well off even though the economy still sucked. I had nothing to complain about in life. Don't get me wrong, I really liked my life. I mean thinking about what's going on all around Earth, you really think that you would appreciate everything to have. I appreciated what I had. But I never knew that it would all be taken away from me in a blink of an eye, and put me in some place I've always wanted to be. Equestria, the place where my Little pony is. A world free from war, hunger, and strife . unfortunately however, I was put in that place in the worst way imaginable. I live in Hawaii. As usual there was a bright and sunny day. I woke up in the morning around 7:00. It was a Monday, which normally meant school, but something was happening today like a waiver day or something. I like to keep myself in shape, so as usual in the morning time, I decided to go for a jog, of course after breakfast that is. I finish breakfast about an hour later(pancakes mind you) I really don't want the pancakes to start showing, so I gave myself some time to rest and let my food digest. After that I put on my jogging shoes and my school P.E. clothes and left to take a jog around my little town. As I left my house, the bright light of the sun hit me square in my eyes, temporarily blinding me. It was still early around 9:00 AM, though the sun was now high in the sky for some reason. I dismiss the thought, taking in the crisp,clean morning air. I then began to proceed into my jog, a smile forming in my face as I see a bunch of little kids playing ball. Most of fun times back as a little one always involve a ball. And other friends. I wasn't really a loner, I did have of a bunch of other friends, but no one really did want to hang out with me when it wasn't school. So get this, I ran about three miles and ended up at the most chaotic intersection in the entire island. Every time I run this intersection there's always the possibility of me being hit by some idiot. So I assaulted the crosswalk button by hitting it around 50 times, including a little falcon kick. After about a few seconds, the red hand across the street turned into a white walking person, signaling that it was safe for me to cross the road. I calmly jogged up the crosswalk, only to find a speeding idiot heading straight towards me. Wonderful. And so I did the most reasonable and rational thing possible. I ran towards the damn car! Yes, that's right. Once I had the proper angle, it took a little leap at the vehicle! It was my only choice, however, to do such a thing, I had the basic survival knowledge, if running at a vehicle at full speed and surviving counted. Plus I had no other choice like I just said, I had no time to jump away from the road, the thing was moving pretty fast. I hit the car's windshield smack dab in the very middle with my right shoulder. Good thing that moron stopped. I got off his cracked windshield with hardly scratch. I had not noticed however, the fleeing convict that hit me and flew me into the air. I would probably survived if I wasn't hit by the two pursuing police cars afterwards. The last thing that I noticed was the bright sun shining down on me. the light slowly fading away as my consciousness faded as well. The light was overwhelming. I suddenly felt very lightheaded, and the sensation of falling. However, was all done in one swift moment when I fill the sensation of hitting ground, my head filled with pain, and then everything was black. It was a very difficult moment for me, it was a sad attempt for me to open up my eyelids, I was able however, to feel around with my hands and I felt the cold touch of grass. "A forest" I thought, not realizing I said that out loud. Just then an overwhelming headache took control of my mind, the pain was unbearable, and that without realizing it, I screamed out. Then, for second, the pain subsided as I realized how my voice sounded. It was much more deeper than usual, a bit more gritty, and a lot more menacing. I register what I remember previously, I was hit, by three different cars. In the middle of the street. How did I get here? What happened to me? Am I blind? Am I dying? What the hell is happening?! None of this made any sense. I needed to open my eyes. I needed to see what happened, as I did my mind went blank. And I fell back onto the ground. I woke up yet again, this time however I was able to open my eyes. It was a magnificent place this forest, so lush, green, and fertile. I then began to stand up, I put my black, armored hands in front of me to push myself up. 'Wait, what?' I then looked back down onto my hands, that that were covered in scales. I then took a look at the rest of my body and found out that they were all the same, clad in black armor. I was also the height of to tree next to me, what looked to be around 20 feet tall. 'What the bloody hell?' Apparently I turned into some kind of monster. And apparently it looked like I can destroy a whole lot of shit that I wanted to destroy. I didn't know when this happened or why it happened, and I didn't know if I should think 'O god this is awesome' or 'O Lord what the hell?' I then stood on top of both of my hind legs, increasing my height even more. I looked around to see if there was anything interesting, and found that, there was an apparent type of town a bit more west. I was thinking what I should go there or not, but then I figured out that, if a monster like me went to such a small town though, they would probably try and murder me. That would probably been the case. Again, I looked around searching if there was any place I can take refuge in, and found a mountain not too far east. How long you would take for me to get there? As I the thought of me walking all the way there, I felt something on my back... something different. A look at my side and I seen them. Wings. I was amazed that it. But also figuring out that I had no idea how to work them. Turns out though, using wings is a lot more easier then you think. It's a really funny concept actually, I'm not sure that applies to every flying thing but it sure as hell does apply to dragons. All you really need to do is look up, and then your wings, just flap by themselves and bring you up, and if you look down, your wings would stop flapping, kind of like a Segway, I leaned forward a bit then moved forward, I leaned backwards and.... yeah, you know. A very interesting thing. Flying all the way up in the air as a huge twenty-something feet monster, what's even more interesting is the fact that I have the power that, when I landed on to the mountain, I kind of broke it in half. Even more surprising than all of this, is probably the flying Pegasi that started to attack me when I landed....It was a very, very, interesting experience. I'll give you that much. I'm not really much of an aggressive guy... Or dragon, but I really didn't mean to burn all of them down..who would have known, that just by opening your mouth you breath fire? Apparently I was a threat, unsurprisingly, since I'd just probably killed a couple ponies.As they also had unicorns, who were a total pain in the ASS. Since of course unicorns can perform magic they ended up shooting things like fire and ice and things such as those. I honestly tried my best not to hurt any of these ponies. I did not want a giant bounty on top of my head, but at the cost of all of this I have been taking some damage of course, I've lost quite a few scales to some pretty big fireballs. I knew my life was in the well. I mean I'm a Dragon, a menace to the very way of life for every living thing here. I just stood there getting hit by lots of random spells coming my way, until of course, something had to come in and take care of all those ponies. It was a small dragon, well that is, compared to me. But it easily took care of every pony well, that would be exaggerating but it left some of course,it apparently became a distraction and told me to 'get in' pointing into a cave. Whatever's, this will be be one hell of an adventure.
