The Non-Equestrian Equestrian Hero

by New Dawn


Sixteen: All hail the king? I don't think so.

"Are we THERE yet!?" I whined again.

As you can guess... I'm bored again. I can get irritable when I'm bored or tired. It comes with the cost of having an awesome friend who used to be able to keep me entertained and not kill me.

"No." Navi said, her ear twitching.

She was in her pony form, since we had to pass by a traders route and, luckily we got by with little interruptions. She decided to stay in that form for exercise or something.

"Th' fer'st can't be too far... Can it?" Braeburn asked, using his hat to fan himself.

It did mean he was lagging behind a bit, but I guess even the appleloosan himself runs out of steam sometime. I wish I had that luxury...

Ha, appleloosan... this heat is really getting to my head...

"We're almost there. Don't worry..." Navi said, panting.


TIME LASPE!!

About an hour later, give or take a few minutes.


"I don't get how ponies get hotter than changelings! I mean, changelings have exoskeletons so in theory we should get hotter!" Navi shouted, falling on the sand.

"Well, time for a break!" I yelled, falling backwards into the surprisingly cool sand.

Braeburn just rolled on to his back.

"How com' this here sand is cooler th'n back th're?" Braeburn asked, obviously relieved.

"We're near the everfree. It's getting cooler because of the magic in the forest." Navi explained.

"Huh... Magic forest... We gonna meet tiny blue men that say 'Smurf' alot?" I ask.

"What." was all Navi said.

"Nothin'. It's another earth thing."

"A'mh going to go an' assum' that earth is th' place y'all come from?" Braeburn asked.

"Eeyup"

"Why did you quote mah cousin Big Macintosh?" He said, rolling onto his front.

"Wait, someo- somepony says that?" I said, sitting up.

"Yes. Ah said mah cousin Big Macintosh."

"Huh... Well, I look forward to meeting him!"

"We better get going. Zecora's hut isn't too far from Ponyville, but in that case we have a little to go... and we'll need to be prepared." Navi said, transforming back to her changeling self in a burst of blue fire.

I stood up and looked at the forboding forest ahead.

"You sure we have to go in there? Something's... off about it." I said.

Navi nodded.

"Well, Ok then..." I said.

We walked into the forest and almost immediately ran into vines.

"I got this." I said, taking out my sword and slashing them.

Navi grumbled something I just ignored. We kept treking on, until wolves attacked.

"TIMBERWOLVES!" Navi yelled, firing a blue blast at one, turning it into bark.

Yeah, by wolves I mean wooden wolves.

"WHY ARE THESE THINGS WOOD?!" I screamed as I slashed a few.

One of them did try to bite my injured arm, but it resulted in making it recoil and making my arm burn worse. Soon I stood around piles of wood.

"We're not done yet..." Navi said.

"Why?"

"The king is coming."

"Huh?"

Again, a total not freakout point as a giant man eating timberwolf came from behind me.

"THAT KING!" Navi shrieked.

"Aw come on..." I muttered.

It howled as several more timberwolves came.

"AW COME ON!" I yelled.

A chunk of it's face disappeared in a blue burst.

"JUST ATTACK THE FREAKING THING HEATHER!"

"R-right..." I said.

'Can I do the infamous jump attack?'

"HIIIIIYYAAAAA!"

A chunk of his nose was gone, but so was my sword. But, hey... on the bright side he got a new nose piercing in the shape of the master sword.... Oh Farore save me....

"WHAT THE BUCK DID YOU DO!?" Navi screamed in rage as she was double teamed by some timberwolves.

"Navi!" I yelled.

"HELP ME Y'ALL!" Braeburn yelled as he was carried off from his hiding spot.

'So much for the happy go lucky additude...'

I quickly looked from Navi to Braeburn to the giant timberwolf who has surprisingly attacked me. Suddenly pain shot through my body.

I quickly blacked out... but somehow I could feel what was going on. And could faintly hear.

"Heather..." Navi...

"help!" Braeburn...

I'm the worst friend/sword ever....

"Don't worry, comrade. We'll help you..." A mysterious Russian accented voice... Yep, I've died and gone to hell...\

The sudden feeling of being dragged? Whaaa?

"Get him to the king!" More voices? Where the heck am I being dragged?

"Bow down before you enter! It royal rules of timberwolf society!" Oh please don't tell me...

"It's an emergency! We need to see the king!" Oh god... NO NOT ANOTHER PALACE!!!

And there goes my hearing.... and all feeling... But why am I still awake... i mean if this a blackout... I should be alseep? Right?

To tell the truth... I have no idea why I'm not scared... I mean... I'm tired, I haven't slept in a while since I got out of that changeling prision... I still can't help but wonder what's happening to apple... loosa...
