You know, I never liked politicians…yes I am well aware of the facepalm you just did as I said that. But let’s face it, these guys are just assholes that got given a power seat.

3000 years later, this fact really hasn’t changed that much, well the Princesses are the “Changed” part but the others, they didn’t care about the fact that I am just an innocent bystander, I have a feeling they used me to have a war. How do I know that? Because my flesh is spelling out “Scapegoat” with a capital T!

See, I had the sense to read up on other immortal races and know what the world was like. I wasn’t going to be that blind guy from the past who knows nothing of the future. I want to know and I needed to know, see that’s another thing these so called leaders are assholes about: the know!

Now, what I need to know is that I am being hunted with no end in sight until the Necromancer is destroyed. That’s simple and easy but for all I know, there is much more knowledge like the how and the why. I know why, S-C-A-P-E-G-O-A-T! Do I need to spell that again, the griffons and minotaur are warlike creatures and the Zebra probably cowered towards a majority with no backbone. Celestia and the other Princess had the sense to vote against the others despite the majority crushing them. It’s going down with the ship!

But that enough about that, whatever rhyme or reason, the outside world has to be survived. Someone may well ask if I wanted revenge. The answer is to the Griffons and Minotaurs, maybe but on the whole no, they cross my path and leave me no choice to kill then it will happen.

I am NOT going the pretend like some little insecure girl that I won’t have to kill, it’s going to happen, Necro-soldiers or Magical creatures, blood will be shed. 3000 years did not change a damned thing about this fact. I am not saying I will openly kill, I am saying that when the time comes, I won’t back down.

When I do kill them, it will be without a doubt, them who dared to try strike at me. 

Just gonna repeat that: I. AM. NOT. A. COLD. BLOODED. KILLER!





I woke up from a dream conversation with Luna, I did not move instantly as I listened around for any movement, I did not hear any movement but nevertheless, I moved slowly and peeked out.

Satisfied I am of nobody around, if there is any sort of ill against me, that fact will not remain a fact for very long. I get my gear and put it on my back and then peer out once more, it’s clear.

I hop down onto the ground, I slightly slipped from the mud of the rain last night. I remembered the direction I came and walked towards a new direction. I didn’t use Super Speed because I might hit a tree and also I may run into enemies and get shot by arrows or sliced by a blade. Because that would be a fun breakfast, wouldn’t it?

Speaking of breakfast, I grabbed an apple out and ate it. It was courtesy of Sweet Apple Acres and I can say, the grow some damn delicious apples, they put Pink Lady Apples to shame back in the past as I was a fan of those apples. But it’s succulent juices provide me the fuel to carry on and not have the hunger in the stomach.

“Hey! See anything?” I hear a voice about 20 meters away
“Nothing! I don’t think he’s here” another voice says

Now, thankfully there were some rocks I could climb on and scope the new company out, I spotted them and they were Earth Ponies so they couldn’t fly or teleport up here on random chance.

“Bah! This job is so boring! I want to get some bad guys!” The first one complains
“At least it’s better than guarding a door for 12 hours straight that nopony ever enters” The second one said reasonably

So, these guards have been promoted to “Door-guarders” to “Expendable scouts” have they? I am not killing them though despite the fact I could get them both easily.

“That is true, why would anyone want to stand at a door to a room not even Celestia herself would use?” The first agrees
“Yeah, Princess Celestia said capture the human if we find him, I’ve heard all the other nations want him dead.” The second one mentions
“Yeah, I’d murder the guy, just put a spear through his head and be done with it and say a griffon did it. But he’s clearly not in these woods” The first one gives his insight

Another 30 seconds pass before their voices trail off and I deem it safe to proceed.

See, I didn’t kill them because let’s face it, kill the patrols would just give a neon sign saying I was here. If I had killed them, I would either be far away or still in the area waiting for the next patrol to come by.

I never got that, why is it that when you discover a patrol is gone missing nobody assumes they’re dead and just send another patrol of the same size and skill. You may as well just pick a random guy and kill him before he got out the front door.

By not killing them, it’s not cold-blooded murder and it doesn’t give away my position. Both sides have a win-win! They don’t know I’m here so as far as I am concerned, I AM NOT HERE!

If I were a guy in charge of these patrols and found my patrol is missing or dead, I wouldn’t just send another one, I’d either keep my forces away from the area until such time or two, send an army in there. There’s no way no one would just get through that unnoticed.

But enough of that, I continued on and out of the woods, were it different circumstances, I wouldn’t mind a proper walk around as these woods are quite nice but such is life.

More green plains greeted my eyes and I quickly scanned for any enemies before I went superspeed mode. None were there, this is most fortunate for I was expecting a base to be nearby but it must be in another direction.





I safely Superspeeded past a couple set of hills without attracting attention to my knowledge, it is quite unsettling when you know they are looking for you but you don’t know where. They could be right behind me and I wouldn’t know it! (I turned around at the very thought)

But something caught my eye and my nose, a horrible sight and smell and upon further inspection, I’m surprised I didn’t vomit.

“Jesus!” I muttered to myself

Two ponies’ insides were gored out at the base of the hill I was on, a blood trail indicates they were attacked somewhere up the hill. They were not soldiers, they were normal ponies, backpackers by the looks of things. They must not of gotten the memo about the Necromancer and therefore were clueless to this,

It is clear it was the Necromancer’s minions that did this and they feast upon their flesh, I can only hope their deaths were not painful and that the attackers chocked.

That’s just low, attacking defenseless ponies like that, don’t get me wrong, it was bound to happen but that doesn’t make any less low and sad. I checked their supplies for anything I could use (What? It’s not like they need it and I have no idea where I even ran off to, so let’s not add one more body to the pile), all I found was a map and some hay which I can’t really eat.

The map is of Equestria but it does not help me now as I have no clue where I am, the only way to make use of it is to find a town and learn of it’s name, find it on the map and figure out where to go next.

Before I leave, I notice one of them has a shovel, they may be strangers but if think they deserve a burial rather than this gored view here. So I dug and dug for what seemed an hour and a half by my estimate, I put their bodies in and then put the dirt over them.

“Rest in peace ponies! I hope the afterlife is a good one. I promise those monsters will not survive much longer should they be in my sights” I said to the grave

I can imagine someone like Rarity seeing this or poor Fluttershy, they wouldn’t want to see this, I just hope there aren’t anymore out there that are not aware of the Necromancer.


CRACK!

I turned around to the graves and saw hoofs sticking out of the ground with green circles. This can’t be good, I got my bow and arrows out and waited for the dead ponies to come out. 

As they fully got out of their graves, I shot an arrow at the first one and missed (WHAT? I only shot these arrows once, did you expect me to be a crackshot?), I shot another and hit the target this time but the other had closed in so I pulled the machete out and dodged his swipe and beheaded him.

I retrieved my arrows and decided to depart from the scene before anything else happens. That shit creeped me out and also I got to work on that aim with the Bow and Arrows, that second shot was luck and luck is something I don’t want to rely on.

In any case, I rush to find a place for the night…
