New Life Flickers

Home Sweet Pre-prepared Home and A Little Experimenting.

We've been travelling for a few days now, and now I can see Rambling ridge ahead, but let me give you a basic recap.

Once, LightRay, Glow-Plankton came back with a cat, I was ecstatic let me tell you. Vermillion was a bit sacred of the pups but the seemed to sense this and kept their distance until Vermillion warmed up to them.

Glow-Plankton improved the cart, Making sure it could fit a Spruce or Birch so they could pull it and somehow making a retractable roof on the cart. We made sure to let Verm get used to the cart and made sure Birch and Spruce could pull it no problem.

And then, there was the pony Firefly and UVL brought back. UnknownHaze wanted help so Firefly told her everything about us. After some convincing she decided to start new with no memories of her life whatsoever. Firefly managed to get a teensy bit of info out of her but that was all she needed. Apparently she worked really hard to help her mother and father but once she got sick with an unknown virus, her family straight up left. UnkownHaze's been doing whatever job she could find and that they let her do. She's actually has decent money, but her condition is getting worse. She was doing her favorite thing to do, watching. It brings her peace, but she hates other ponies interacting because, one, she's either scared she get them sick or, two, she worried they'll push her away of something. Pick your poison.

I mean, she literally has all the symptoms of Covid!

I just hope she survives long enough for us to figure out a way to help.

We loaded all the thing we had, jumped into the cart (Helping Unknown up, of course.), except me, who was the one putting the thing to attach to horse onto Spruce. I made sure the Timberwolves knew what to do and we set off.

There was not much to our ride to Rambling Bridge. And yes, I know it's "Rambling Rock Bridge" but please, "Rambling Bridge" is easier to say. Wood-puppies didn't get tired didn't get tired much. When they did get tired, we'd stop, I'd let Spruce/Birch disassemble, making sure the green orb was nice and protected and the other one that was resting would reassemble after resting and take the lead. This usually happened every morning. We'd often collect berries and plants we knew were safe from study back up in the Cloud and collected them for both Unknown, and The Timberpups. Though they didn't care if it was poisonous. In fact, we'd often collect poisonous ones to feed to the Timberwolves so the berries would hopefully sport in their tail as defense. I even hope to use gloves to feed them Poison joke was we visit Ponyville!

Now it leaves me to here, we passed through the forest and now we're entering the place we can call our new home!

"Why are we passing through, Rambling Rock Ridge...? I bet it would be easier to pass a place with food.", asked Unknown.

"Well, to answer your question. I don't think we're passing through, more like, living here. We need a Private place where ponies won't run away in fear from our Timberwolves. Anything! Am I correct, dear sister?"

"Correct-o my friend-o!" God, that sounded way less cheesy in my head. "This place will be our new home! I picked it because it was not only the closest to a nearby town, it was closest to our location, and it's way more private!

UnknownHaze sighed "So I'm staying with you? I guess it'd be great to have somewhere live that isn't a reminder of my past, and perhaps work for the remainder of my life..."

This made me frown, she's really sold on the idea that's she gonna die and that makes me kinda angry. We will find a way to save her... OR maybe Cloud will? I hope so, I don't want to do any work. PLEASE CLOUD PLEASE!

After thirty minutes of travelling and talking we soon came to sudden stop. I look outside to see Birch curiously looking at a furniture, like, lots of furniture. I'd could vaguely remember THAT'S MY OLD TEDDYBEAR ON TOP! The one from earth, there, and probably a bunch of other things from Earth on top. I was the first out followed by UVL and the rest, Hazey opting to stay in the cart with Vermillion.

At the base of the pile was a sign.

This is one of the last thing I'm doing for you, assuming you haven't, look to your right ➡

I looked and as everyone followed my gaze, they saw the edge of Rambling Ridge, and there was a home mingling with the ridge!

It was perfect.

"I guess the Cloud really did listen" I muttered.

For next hour and half we moved in all the furniture, my room had everything it had last time. A desk beside my bed, a chair sticking out. And across the room was a empty closet and a bookshelf as well as the exit door. In my simple, red bed(Minecraft looking ah), was my good ol' BIG teddy bear with his red tie, a missing eye and his Light-golden fur. His name was Lasel, and he's probably possessed.

I had a bunch more stuff. Where is it? Well, half to Speck and the other for Unknown. Unknown wanted to stick in my room for some reason, I don't know why, maybe it's because my room is bigger? That's why Glowie's at Ponyville, to buy a bed and obviously a bunch of other regular supplies like groceries, I made sure to remind Glow-Plankton of Pinkie and to get in and get out, quick. I want everyone to come when that happens, even Vermillion and perhaps Birch and Spruce.

Talking about Spruce and Birch I was thinking about golems.

Golems aren't like, giant white things that protect things in MLP. They are what Timberwolves are. Created to mimic living beings. Whether with flesh and bones or sticks and leaves, they all need magic as a heart.
Without them, they collapse and die. Other than that or you use like, their ultimate weakness, you cannot kill them.

I'm really interested in this because I've literally always wanted to make a creature that mimicked other living beings. And now, I could do it! I know the basics since I read a bunch of books in the Cloud's library whenever it was reading time.

Hm. Right, we promised to play with the puppies.

I use my magic to pull the first drawer on the desk. It was filled with craft supplies, as well as a lot of a paper.

But the puppies?

Well, there's always time for Origami. The Pups can come at night. I bet they're exploring our new "territory" as we speak, Tearry.

I spent the rest of the afternoon making a bunch of Origami animals, one for each letter(excluding the ones I did not make cause I didn't like them). A dragon, 10 to be exact, all white in color, of course.

These weren't silly animals, they were simple-looking, but not cute, just, there.

Now time to make a core! I simple started with the dragon after taking a sheet of paper I started writing a bunch of traits this dragon would have; intelligence, the ability to fly, fire, and a bunch of other things too. It's surprising it doesn't take too much magic to make a core for the animal. The only reason why it's "hard" is because you need to concentrated the magic into a ball or a shape, but if I simply take some magic from my light reserves, piece of cake!

When I was done, I was a bit drained but happy. On my desk, the lay a small grey orb, plopping it in the dragon.

I waited...

And waited...

And...

It shuffled a bit, yawning like it just woke from a deep slumber. It looked around, and it's gaze landed on me.

Pushing it's body up with it's wings, it flew around the room, landing or doing tricks.

"I wonder what I should call you..."

The dragon flicked it's gaze towards me before focusing back to it's exercise.

"Yep, Bob."

Bob suddenly swerved towards me, landing on my head before settling there.

SLAM!!

The door slammed open, scaring the fuck out of me and Bob. There, was Lightray, having a panic look on his face.

"UNKOWNHAZE IS GONE!!!"

Author's Note:

Gosh, there was so many ways this could turn out and so many chapter names this chapter could have gotten, so I was late for my usual post time. Next one is also going to be late as I'm need to focus on fanfics on other platforms. See ya!

Looks interesting, adding to tracking.
