Weeping Human

by Ignis Consumens Est

The past thousand years

I'm not really weeping. I guess I got my name from those Weeping Angel things in the Doc Who series since I move when no one is looking and stop when they look at me. Red light, green light.

I wasn't always like this.. Okay maybe I was since my time in Equestria I was because I got shot in the face with a rainbow death beam that passed me and shot also the guy behind me named Discord(I call him Dissy).

At first, I was walking down the streets at Earth, heading back towards my home. I reached a footbridge, then obviously went up to walk over. But the footbridge apparently was unstable and crashed below me, sending me to my near death.

The fall didn't kill me, the suffocation did. When I fell down, I was groaning and every part of my body hurt. I cried, but I got ran over by a car. So I couldn't. Debris were all over, the dust particles floating everywhere. I felt oxygen in my lungs disappear, and wham! I'm dead.

At least, back then, I thought so.

My near-death experience had created a portal under me. I don't know why- but the next thing I know I was sucking in air like crazy, and also falling to my death like crazy.

I screamed for my life. I turned and saw the ground coming above me fast. Pink clouds soared above me and multi-colored flooring spread at all directions. Three figures were right below me. Two horses with horns and wings and a serpent thingy that looks funny.

"-it's over, Discord!" The white horse calmly said. The other one, the blue horse, nodded in agreement next to her.

"What could you possibly do to hurt me?" The draconequss asked, sneering.

"This." The two alicorn sisters floated up to the air with white eyes, their horns charging up with energy.

Around this time, I was near the ground already, and was already bracing for impact. But when the alicorn sisters shpt the rainbow of death, it got me as well.

"Nooo!" I heard a cry somewhere near me, and a cracking of stones. "I shall return!"

After the rainbow death, I apparently fell to the floor. I don't know how I survived the six hundred mile fall. Maybe the rainbow death ray gun softened my fall? That's a much better explanation than aliens with trajectory beams.

I felt my feet go numb, then my legs, torso, then my arms. I didn't know what was happening, so I struggled, and gained control for a short while, allowing myself to stand.

"It seems as if we caught something else." The blue alicorn whispered to her sister.

"Indeed." Thanks, captain obvious.

Then my whole body went numb. I couldn't feel anything, not breath, hear, feel. Nothing. I felt numb all over. I can only see what's happening in front of me plus peripheral vision.

"Should we try to free it?" Blue alicorn asked.

"No." Whitey firmly replied. "Both are to be kept in custody. The creature may be a creation of Discord."

Racists! Boo!

Fast forward a few hundred years, and my sanity hasn't been faring well. The twin alicorns found the ponies, which were very much like them minus the fact that they don't have both horns and wings. The twins ruled over them nicely, but Blue Alicorn turned evil and got banished to the moom. Shame.

My gaze settled on the flora in front of me and my neighboring statue, Discord. The alicorn sisters deemed fit to place us in their Royal Garden, where most high-priority prisoners turned statues were placed. Others are crushed and destroyed.

Crack!

That sound was the only thing close to hope I have. I never gave up on trying to escape. Maybe this'll be the chance!

I forced my body to have feeling, and believe it or not, it had. I could feel my arms, my legs, my face! I could look around now instead of one direction, which sucks, because I don't like the band.

I hopped down my pedestal, making a small dent to the ground below my stone hard feet.

Stone hard?

I'm still a statue, but one with feeling. I could move freely now! I could-

"What the-" the pony gardener, Flora, said, confused. "How did the statue fall down there?"

Flora was an earth pony, female, and had three flowers for a cutie mark. She's awfully shy(as she talks to the statues about her life. I don't think she knows we're all prisoners.), has a yellow coat and blue mane. She talks to us statues a lot.

I tried to run away, but I couldn't. It wasn't because I was frozen by fear, but because I was frozen. Again. My body felt numb all over. Ugh.

The earth pony tried to push me, revealing no success. Then she tried to tip me over then push me, but only proved that overturned statues are harder to push than standing statues. So she just stood there, panting.

Finally she relented, looked away, and called for unicorn help.

That's when I felt my body again. I realized that moment that if someone stares at me, I can't move. I can only freely move when no one looks at me.

So I made a break for it.

Fast forward to present time (Twilight Sparkle time). I found out over the years I'm immortal, and with the time span between my escape and present time, I explored most Equestria unseen. Literally.

I reside in the Everfree Forest, where I hone my newly found deadly skills. Apparently, I'm an assassin and I can kill anything that doesn't look at me. Even the strongest adult dragon can't stand against a Weeping Human. How do I know? A giant dragon tried to pee on me only to find out later that his neck was cut open by my bare fingers.

I go to the castle of the Royal Pony Sisters. I like being a statue near here, even though no one stays here anymore. A lone traveler often comes across the castle and pays their respects. I stalk them around until they scream and shout and run away.

But now, I feel a large source of dark energy. Curious, I try to sneak a peek in what it was.

I can't move.

I struggle against the bonds of rock, only to find it was useless. Someone must be looking at me.

Instead, I look forward and see six ponies- purple, orange, cyan, yellow, white and pink. They all look at me.

"What is that horrendously looking thing?" The white one asks, horrified.

That thing has feeling, ass!

"Whatever it is, we can deal with it later." Purple quickly says. "Nightmare Moon is to be dealt with now!"

The other ponies charged inside the castle with purple, showing their agreement to Purple- who must be leader.

My body regains control, and I fall to my knees, catching my breath. Being a statue can grant immortality, powerful weapons, and great sight, but unfortunately does not grant breathing while being a statue. You can find yourself always desperate for air when you're a statue. Sometimes, we take the most important things for granted, and we regret not taking it seriously when we lose them.

After catching my breath, I cautiously walk inside the castle of the Pony sisters. I stop moving immediately- I mean it literally. I couldn't move, it means someone is looking at me.

The six ponies that entered is faced against a large- as a large as Celestia herself may have been- dark blue Alicorn.

Impossible, the only Alicorns left alive were Celestia and Luna..

Oh.. Yeah.. Luna.

I see her wearing her full battle armor from her last clash against Celestia, the one that banished her to her power, the moon. She's laughing maniacally.

But suddenly, these ponies, the ones that just entered, started glowing and floating. The last time I saw this was a thousand years ago, when..

When..

Rainbow death beam.

Sure enough, the rainbow death beam shot out from the six of them, heading towards Nightmare Moon. From here, I could hear the 'Noo!'

Then there, lay down was a smaller alicorn. Now much of a lighter blue, like the night sky, with mane a flowing blue with stars in them. Celestia appears almost immediately, surprising the six ponies. Using this opportunity, I try to run away. Sadly, Celestia notices me and uses her magic to bring me to her place.

"You know about this statue, Princess Celestia?" The purple pony asks, surprised. Celestia sets me down to face the six ponies who're looking at me a little confusingly, minus the white one who is looking at me like I'm a dead, rotting fish.

"Yes." Celestia answers. I can't see her face, she's behind me. "He is a living being, capable of walking the ground and seeing as we ponies do. He wasn't always like this, but that is a story for another time. But I must warn you not to look away from him."

"What do you mean, Princess?" The cyan one asks. "It doesn't look strong. I bet I can take it down, 10 seconds flat."

Celestia chuckles. "I doubt it. I once saw an old dragon killed with the creature's hands."

The ponies gasp, and the yellow pony faints. The cyan pony looks at me as if I was a walking killing machine, which I can assure everyone at this room this room, I'm not.

How did you know it was me?

"You're the only one who can cut quite cleanly and precisely." Celestia replies. "Besides, who can quite easily cut down a dragon?"

Oh coo- wait.. You can hear me?

"Yes." Celestia chuckles. "All the time, and all around the world."

.. Fuck.

"Uh, Princess?" The orange pony asks, confused. "Who are ya talkin' to?"

"Him." I feel Celestia's hoof on my shoulder. "I could hear him and I bet Luna could, too, when she wakes up."

"But it has no mouth!" The white one protests.

I HAVE FEELINGS TOO, YOU KNOW. Fucking racist..

Celestia winces at my sudden outburst, and clears her throat. "I should tell you that he doesn't appreciate it. In fact, he said some.. inappropriate words to prove his point."

I hear a groan beside me. Sadly, I can't see Luna standing up, due to the fact that she was indirectly looking at me, plus the fact that I'm currently a statue.

Wait.. Those are the same.

The sisters exchanged words, and Luna says, ashamed. "Sister, will you ever forgive me?"

YES! No one is looking!

Unfortunately, I must have been thinking too loud as every alicorn in the room whips their heads towards me.

"..what?" Luna dumbly says.

"Exactly." Celestia sighs. "And yes, dear Luna. I already have."

A large smile planted itself on Luna's muzzle as she's hugged by her older sister. And lover-dover sister stuff happens.

The two sisters now look at me. I could also see the ponies looking at me.

Can't.. Move..

"Twilight.." Celestia begins.

"I'd be happy to, Princess Celestia!" The purple one immediately says, smiling.

"Yow know me too well, Twilight Sparkle." Celestia chuckles.

With magic, they carried me to a treehouse- a library- and set me down a little to the left of the front door. I feel ponies' gaze on me, making me unable to move.

Sigh.. I feel like I want to weep.

rude much the princesses shouldn't be surprised if he has some not to nice words for them alone in thought and can't interact is cruel fate and they knew all along? who would be nice after being trap twice and thought they were doomed to be alone and unheard?

[Mad Maudlin]

Wow. Thats kind of harsh there. What'd he ever do to them?

[Creatix]

You have garnered the interest of a Doctor Who fan. You would be wise not lose it.

[Alondro]

I suggested this as a troll fic to my Jersey Discord's meetup group a while back...

I weep to see that it has been apparently taken as a serious plot.

The alicorn sisters deemed fit to place us in their Royal Garden, where most high-priority prisoners turned statues were placed. Others are crushed and destroyed.

Oh I'm going to be vicious now. You're beating that dead horse trope? Seriously, did you ever bother to actually look at the statues in the garden? What, did the Princesses ask these diabolical giant pony villains to kindly hold flags and pose nicely before stoning them? Discord is the ONLY creature ever turned to stone, and that was done via the Elements of Harmony NOT the Sister's own power.

[Alondro]

5556467 He had the misfortune to end up in yet another fanfic that hates Celestia and Luna.

Had he actually ended up in Equestria, things would have gone much better! Unless he landed among the minotaurs during rutting season...

[TheNomad]

I saw another fanfic like this but he stopped posting in awhile... Well I'll see where this one goes, I really like it. I also like to think this guy is wearing a suit. I think a stone suit would look cool.

[user123]

they banished sombra...I'm pretth sure they could stone lesser enemies?

[Fictional Fanatic]

Interested. Now, write more!

[Zhanuzi]

This is a good start to a story.
Try to avoid making the mistake of typing the wrong key or you end up making shot into shpt.
Rereading the story is always a nice way to find mistakes.

[ReapersinMLP]

Moar?

[Alondro]

5561069 Sombra such a loser, he got taken out by Spike and Cadance.

I think nerds would beat him up and steal his lunch money!

[user123]

This is good, but ah, must suck as a weeping angel.

[Ignis Consumens Est]

Chapter 2 is in the making! You may be expecting it's release later or maybe tomorrow(due to procrastinating), so get ready for the release!

(TY for the favorz :))

[Djerid]

5561377 or you end up with stpo signs instead of stop. How does one stpo in the middle of the road in a car anyway?

[cultpony]

This is certainly interesting.

I think I spotted a few grammar mistakes and such along the way but nothing sirius.

Keep going!

I WANT MOAR!

[StarChaser01]

Yes... more... now...

[tlegg]

i would be annoyed at the pandering. but really I'm more annoyed off that we're getting the weeping angels that kill instead of send people back in time

other then that this feels more like a first draft then anything else.

[Zhanuzi]

5563435 You step on both the gas and the brake at the same time, It's a typical beginner mistake ;)

[thatguy45]

excellent. we expect more. and soon. very. soon.

[Ghosted Note]

Okay concept, but the writing feels rushed. Two fast forwards in the same chapter, with no sort of logical transition to soften the blow? IMO, slow down the writing, take more time to describe and less time pushing everything forward at a breakneck pace.

[musicman722]

couple errors here and there. Bit rushed as well for a first chapter. Would have been nice to know a bit more about him during the thousand years instead of telling us the stuff on the spot. Still, one of the few weeping angel fics on this site. i'll keep an eye on this.

[TerminatorPON47]

5563258 more chapters now wa ha ahahahahahah ah
lol keep up the good works

I will remind you that George isn't really a Weeping Angel, but he just named himself after one because of the fact he's a statue, can walk, and goes red light when someone sees him, and green light when no one looks. The fact that he can cut up a dragon was because his stone material is unbreakable by normal means (it even took Dissy a thousand years to go out, and that required magic, this is how I formed my theory on how the creatures stoned by the elements of harmony cannot be broken out by physical means. But it's just a theory.) so even dragon scale could possibly not stand a chance.

And to everyone else- thank you! I appreciate the compliments and the tips that it is a bit rushed- but I couldn't spend my whole time because of my non-existant schedule

[Clocklike]

Sigh.. I feel like I want to weep.

Oh, this is so very interesting, and entertaining.
