That pony was something that I could only describe as scary, or perhaps majestically scary, or just angry. She thought I had killed those other ponies; the guards who had fought with the hydras while I was down, who probably helped to stop the mythological pests. I probably shouldn't say that about beasts who could eat me whole back when I was a human, but I'm not anymore, and they were pests. They may have stricken me wounds, but...
Oh, wait where am I? Oh yeah, the scarily angry royal pony. I think she was a princess; wow, what a first crowd to say the least. Although, that's exactly what I didn't want. I just wanted to help those children and maybe save some ponies, and to build up reputation. Of course, however, I was killed? I wasn't sure really. I lost conscious watching the fillies fly in front of me, asking for me not to be killed. But the Princess Pony still looked angry at me. Oh, it might be because I'm a bloodthirsty carnivorous machine of carnage. Although, most dinosaurs were like that. They gave that feeling of fear and awe, by just looking at CGI of them.
Celestia looked at the beast, being ferried by a mass of pegasi guards and helped along by her own magic. The creature could be related to size in an Ursa Major. Not a full blown Elder Dragon or full grown Adult, but one of the biggest animals. It appeared as many have said, a 'Land Dragon.' No wings, no flames, just the largest teeth ever on Equestria, and a more ferocious bite than any dragon could muster. It looked scarier than an Ursa Major to say the least, and a battle between the two would be a sight to behold, however it appeared to be the only of its kind, so Celestia wished to analyze it with care and help it recover.
They finished towing it into the air, with a titanic net to hold it in place, as it let out heavy sighs of exhaustion. It may have been a monster, but it saved three troublesome fillies from death multiple times. Celestia had never seen anything similar to its kindness before. Although, she may have scared it a little too much with her display. She got carried away with anything even said to cause harm to her ponies, even if it wasn't true.
"Sergeant," Celestia addressed a pegasi directing the rest, "make sure you don't drop it. And keep it steady, the creature is flightless and injured already."
"Don't worry your Majesty, we can handle this. Right lads!" All of the pegasi cheered gaining new vigor and the travel time lessened to the capital city, Canterlot.
They were at a height, it would die if dropped, and at a speed close to a chariots. It was a spectacle to behold though, hundreds of pegasi guard lifting up the massive creature and practically towing it to the capital. Celestia had arranged transport to city- 'Massive Animal Care,' which the auction zoo usually used to treat their larger animals. Of course, the normals were there, but the larger, and more exotic ones were present as well.
They usually acquired the more tame of the bunch. Opting for anything that showed a reluctance to lash out at ponies or intellectual creatures. Because, well that was there gambit: a safe environment to view ravenous beasts of carnage. And those who were crazy enough could take one home, if they had the means to both take care of it, and handle it if it got out of control.
Celestia had encountered a wrong doing of both in some of the cases she's seen. An ursa minor, stripped of her mother, and given to a reluctant and foolish pony, who let it die in starvation and suffering. Another of such is a peaceful manticore slaughtering the pony family after being attacked by guards of the household unprovoked. Both instances made her wish for the removal of the park, but still the nobles had control over her actions.
However, the beast before her was something she couldn't let either happen to. If it broke free and decided to attack ponies willy nilly, it would cause tremendous problems. She could hold it down, but she witnessed some of it's fury on the other hydra, and stopping something like that would be hard to say the least. However, she saw it in its eyes, its fear towards her, and its liking to keeping ponies out of harm's way. She may have been too harsh on the creature, scaring the wits out of it.
Although, when you would see others hurt, and beasts destroyed, the largest left standing is usually the culprit, but after hearing the alibi from the fillies, Celestia knew otherwise for sure. She supposed she would deliver it to the park and see what happens to it, but she would discuss with her sister first as to what to totally do with it.
I awoke to see the ground from high above. It sent shudders through my body, but I realized I wasn't falling to it, but rather moving along the height. I felt that energy again, but this time it was slightly to my left. My body also seemed to be much more relaxed and slightly healed. The pony to my right, the alicorn was moving gracefully along the air with everyone else, and the hundreds of pegasi above me. Were they bringing me to my death or not? It made me curious; curious and scared. Even if I wasn't in my human body, and was a monster of titanic proportions, I still didn't want to die; to go into the unknown with no previous knowledge of what it would contain.
The pony had noticed me. She, as it definitely looked female, and sounded female, directed her gaze at me. I winced as she bore her eyes into mine. She held a steady face, with a neutral expression and no emotion, but such of curiosity, but for what?
It's funny, even in a body of a beast, I was still scared of females, of any race. They were easily the scariest. The radiating power just proved how easily it was for her to kill me, so I decided to keep calm and see what would happen next, as against to being dropped for a few hundred, if not thousand feet.
"Are you alright," her gentle voice asked which startled me in more than one way. Of course, I couldn't exactly respond, so I blinked once as a sign of something. She took it as a yes. "I'm sorry for hurting you before. I just thought you had hurt my little ponies."
I made a large grunting growl, which revealed some of the pain, but otherwise mostly everything was intact.
"Don't worry," she calmly bellowed, "you'll be alright. We'll fix you up and see where we should go from there. My sister will have a mix of emotions towards you, that's for sure."
All I could say about the 'medical treatment' is it didn't hurt, which didn't exactly sit with me. If I got hurt, getting better didn't just happen. Yet before my eyes, the unicorn doctors were easily accelerating my wounds closing up, but some scars were left. I guess I couldn't have anything, but afterwards I was afraid the whole time I was going to just randomly have the wounds burst open from the scars.
What I didn't just mention though, why I found funny, was how cautious the doctors were, like I couldn't take a little pain or discomfort. Although, by the looks on their faces, I could tell the ponies were just scared of me. It was justified, but still, I would have thought just observing passively would get them to open a little bit.
"Well Princess," A doctor said in the huge animal care room, leading right out into the city, which was definitely a buzz, "it seems to be stable, and we were able to heal everything with ease. Although, may I ask, what exactly is this? Is it a new dragon or something?" Princess Celestia shook her head at the unicorn stallion.
"No Doctor, I really have no idea what it is. It saved a few ponies' lives though, so I am grateful." The doctor nodded, to which I continued to observe, deciding on what to do if something were to pop up.
"So, what are you going to do with him?" The doctor asked, as nurses and observers, well observed me with curiosity, even prodding my tail or stomach, which was a little irritating to say the least. Of course, I couldn't really stop them, considering I was being held down by intense magical restraints.
"I haven't decided. Although, I don't intend to just let him go free. I wouldn't want another incident to occur in Ponyville involving him." Of course, I mentally said to myself. Well, might as well get comfy then. Wish I had some popcorn; wait I don't think my stomach would do too good with vegetation of any kind. If my mind can process it, my stomach might not. Being an omnivore definitely had its advantages. Although, having meat all the time was pretty nice too, even though I had to kill to get it. I really hope they knew I was a carnivore, because just as I finished thinking of food, my stomach lightly growled, sending the ponies into panic and disarray.
They got startled and spooked pretty easily, but to say they were terrified is just a tid bit excessive. They were, but it was a complete overreaction, I was just hungry. I mean to eat something intelligent is just wrong to me. Of course the only way on Earth was to cannibalize, but that still held true here. It would be a last resort measure. However, as overreactions go, this was actually funny: they put me under...yeah...
Next time I woke up, I was somewhere completely out of concept. I was in a huge garden. There were huge, wide open spaces, and even a few trees to relax under, and it was still in the afternoon; late, but still afternoon. The Sun was looking to be slightly descending, but still in control. A breeze held up, chilling off my free, and in control body. That's when I realized the presences beside me. Two immense powers were radiating to my right side, from where my head was down. I knew one of them, but the other had an opposite effect, like a chilling, icy feel. So, as to get attention and to figure out what was going on next, I turned my head to see two alicorns. One I knew: Celestia; and the other, I had no idea of. She looked similar in size, but still slightly smaller than Celestia, and she encompassed an opposite adornment, of dark blue and a wavy 'night-like' hair. I just realized, Celestia was the sun, and her sister, i presumed, was the night. Everything fit, and I would hold up that theory for now.
"So, Tia, what do you want to do with him?" the other alicorn asked.
"Well, Luna, I am hoping you would agree with me on this," Celestia paused, while I gathered the other alicorn's name, "we find him a home."
Luna nodded, "of course, but who would be willing to take in such a beast? I mean look at him," she did indeed look at me, only to slightly be taken back that I was looking at them, fully awake.
"Oh, you're awake," Celestia said. I didn't feel like responding, but more on the side of listening. I was always an avid listener, except to myself. Then I usually did the talking.
"This is my sister, Luna," the sun alicorn directed a hoof at the night.
Luna gave a half hearted smile, "hello," she weakly said. I grunted in response, as to get some kind of response out there. Being mute was at the same time, fun and not fun.
"So Tia, who were you thinking of?" Luna asked, while I continued to listen, while they thought I was just content with the environment and had no understanding of their discussion.
She paused, and paused, and overly-paused, 'mmmm'ing to herself the whole time, until she smiled and nodded her head. "Well, you've said you wanted a companion of your own for a while," Luna knew where this was going, "so how about you!" Luna sighed, while I felt offended at her sigh and the situation, but mostly the sigh.
"Tia, I understand, but why would you--"
"Luna, he saved three fillies. He also never attacked any of the ponies, or guards this whole entire time, up until this point. And look at him now," Celestia pointed towards me, while I just had the same neutral expression on my face, with inner fear still lingering on their power. "See, completely calm and collected. He is extremely docile. Plus, think of where he would go and what would happen if we didn't take him in." Luna had to admit, she did want a pet, and a companion for a while. Although, to think a monster such as the one before her would be it gave her hesitation; hesitation I was kind of getting a little sick of. I decided would accelerate the process.
I slowly rose to my feet, while trying to sneak around the group of ponies, while they were completely focused on their conversations. I had to admit, when they were in conversation, they ignored a lot of their environment, considering I had my entire face behind Luna when Celestia noticed me.
"I understand that, but look--uh Luna." Celestia was slowly raising a hoof.
"What is it?" Luna asked, while she slowly turned her head, where I made my move. With a quick thrust of my closed mouth, I sent her flying into the air so suddenly she gave a yelping scream, and looked down at me in fear, until she landed on my neck, in an oddly comfortable sitting position for her.
Luna was, to say the least, freaking out, but I found it amusing as she demanded to know what I was doing, as I began walking around, while Celestia giggled at the antics. I walked around the entire area, while having Luna demand me to put her down, tow which I did afterwards, with a pout on her face.
She slowly began to turn it upside down, as a small giggle came over herself. "That was oddly quite fun, and he is quite friendly for such an animal Tia." Celestia was nodding in glee. "Fine."
Well, to say the least, it was odd, but apparently I found a similar place that day: home. Luna was my master, and my new friend, even though she thought of me as such a: a pet and companion, I thought of her as a true friend, and of course same with her sister. Then I had a question, how was I not ridiculously hungry?
