“A long long time ago in the land of old, a great pony once said that a great hero will come and save us all from a great evil. He will save us from the darkness.”
Twilight closed her book that she was reading to the flies in front of her. “Now.” said Twilght. “What do you think this evil will be?”
Scootaloo put up her hand. “I don’t care what it is Twilight! I’m tough and will beat it up!”
“Yeah!” say Apple Bloom. “Ah am’s the only one whos’ goin’ to beat em’ up Scootaloo!”
Twilight frown. She looks around her libary that she was in. “That not what I ask. What did I ask, Sweetie belle?”
Sweetie Belle looks around with fear in her one eye. Her gaze dart around like panther. “Um.” she say. “What did you ask?” She was not listening.
“What will the evil be?”
“It will be the blackbolts.”
“The blankbolts?” ask Twilight who was not giving herselves a facehoof in the face. It was hard to teach the flies about magic and old books. The old ones lived in the north where it was very cold and musty.
Scootaloo lift hoof. “The old ones are going to save us from the blackbolts? How?”
“Well…” Twilight started. But then we move to the outside and then into the sky. The clouds move apart to give us a better view of where we are going. Soon, we’re on another planet where a man named Gavin is sitting in a chair in Walmart.
“Gavin!” the maniger of the Walmart says as Gavin looks around. “Why are you sitting around??”
“I was just sitting!” Gavin’s eyes darted around. “I will get back to work!”
“You better!”
“I hate my life…” Gavin huffs under his breath. As long as he could remember he had been doing the same rutine. Eat drink, get money, Walmart, and then bed. His life was awful… And he felt like he needed something new.”
“Hey!” a customer walked happily over to Gavin, who could only roll his eyes as he saw her coming. “I was wondering if you could help me with something.”
Gavin sighed, “Get in line with everyone else who needs help, mame…”
“What?” She cocked her head to the side in confusion. “Is that a yes?” She looked around slowly. “Are you helping someone else? I can come ba-”
“No, no!” Gavin waved his hand. “Just… What’s your problem?”
The customer reached into her purs, and after rummaging through it for a short while, she pulled out a small flip phone. “I was wondering if you guys could fix this. I bought it here, so I thought I’d give this place the first try.”
“Yeah, I’ll help…” Gavin reached out and took the phone out of the woman's hand. She could feel somewhat annoyed as he eyed it, giving a faint disgusted look the old model phone.
Gavin sighed again, “What seems to be the problem?”
“Well, it isn’t turning on anymore.”
Gavin rolled his eyes. Great, he thought. The fool probably dropped it in some water and is trying to blame the store to get a new one…
“Did you drop it in water?” Gavin asked deadpan.
“Nope, it just stopped working today. Do you think it’s because it’s too old? I bought it a few years ago.”
Gavin reached out the hand that was holding the small phone. The lady raised a brow as he signaled for her to take it. She opened her mouth to protest, but was cut off.
“I don’t know how to fix phones.” Gavin stared daggers at her. “I just wanted to see the crap this store used to sell. Honestly, you shouldn’t even come here. Everything is shit.”
The customer gave him a weird look before quickly turning around to head to the front desk. Gavin watched her head shake in disapproval as she walked. “Fucking rude asshole…” he heard her say in all but a whisper.
“Yeah,” Gavin huffed as he too turned around. “Fuck you too.”
Gavin made his way to the bathroom and started to cry. His parents have been dead for 5 years. It’s been very hard for him to get a place to sleep. Most of the time he slept in a box outside of the Walmart. When it rained, he hid under some rusted cars in the junkyard.
“Why did you have to leave me?!” He cry into his shoulder. “Why?!?!?”
He stood back to his feet, wiping of the tears from his eyes. He took a step, only to fall face-first onto the ground.
“Fuck!” He yelled as he rolled on the ground in pain. He felt blood run down his face as he tried to cover up the pain. Suddenly his eyes wandered to some strange markings on the ground. They were written in a way in which he couldn’t read them.
He reached out a bloody hand to touch them, and when his hand made contact, sparks bursted into the air around him. The heat was got unbearable fast. And soon Gavin found himself passing out.
“Quid venistis ad me vitae meae?”
-------------------------------------------------
Gavin’s eyes flickered open. The pain in his noise was hurting really bad. But the grass felt different, and the sky was much bluer than he remembered.
“what’s going on?” Gain asked himself as he stood up to his feet. But they weren’t feet, they were hooves!
“What?!” Gavin’s eyes went really wide as he found himself eyeing his new body. “What am I?!”
Gavin took a step in his new body. lit felt nice with the new black fur and horn… HORN?!
Gavin did looked straight up only to see a bighorn sitting up top of his head. He fell backwards. But he soon felt himself floating off the ground. “W-WINGS?!” Gavin almost yelled.
“THIS IS AWESOME!” Gavin did a loop-de-loop in the air before flying off into the sky.
The possibilities were limitless to him. He could go anywhere, do anything! What was he to do first? He thought.
A cool little tree-house was spotted over a little village.
"Cool!"
