Celestia is life ,death is well death what would happen if they were to meet . What will they say ,what will they do .Will they fight or will they become the best of friends .Will death fall to the darkness or side with the light .Will celsetia hate hate death for causing misery to her ponies or will she simpathetic to grim reaper .(in need of better cover art)
I looked around and saw absolutely nothing but trees all around .
''HELLO!...is anyone out there"
"Who am I"
I got up and looked around me to see what was there .All I saw was a was a simple blade and a pack of water. I picked them up and started walking west. As I walked started to here the sounds of people talking .I started to run towrwards them in hope that these people knew who I am an can tell me why I was in a forest .As I brusted through the bushes I realised something strange about the people no they were.....colorful to say the least and it look like some of them had.....wings and horns ?Well whatever they are there still people .As I walked into the town I got a better look at the 'people' and found that they in some way resembled horses if they stood upright and had hands .
The looks some of them were giving me though they weird to say the least more like they were afraid of me ,well no matter I walked up to a girl (or mare ,whatever it is) and asked her were I was .She started screaming
"MONSTER! MONSTER! Get it away from me !"
and started running and causing a panic amongst the other horse people .I tried to calm them down and say I only wanted some directions but they just screamed and ran away .One of them pointed at me and said, no screamed, "DEATH" .Well I thought that's not a bad name ,so I decided to roll with it .
"Yes I am death .Can some one tell were I am"
This was a bad idea as this only made them scream even more .One of them said
"Your not taking me"
and threw a rock at my face and then he added
''you hooded freak"
why did he threw a ro-wait I'm wereing a hood ,that's why their so afraid of me .I then proceed to take my hood of.....worst mistake of my life .When the hood came of the stallion went wide eyed and said "what buck are you" and I replied to my idiocity
"I am death what's your name"
said stallion screamed like a little girl and ran away in the opisete direction .I look around and see that noones there
"I just wanted to know were I am" I yell out .
As I walk out of the town I pass by something that sparkes my curiosity.....a simple mirror ,now I know why they were afraid of me .My eyes looked like they came strate out of hell my face, if it could be called that, looked like it came straight from a nightmare ,and it was then I realized my height towering at eight and a half feet (or hooves) tall .After seeing this I imideatly put my hood back on and swore to never take it off again . I begen walking again when I bumped into a very angry set of villagers armed with pitch forks and torches one of them was wereing golden armor and spoke or yelled
''ON THE DECREE OF HIS MAJESTY LORD GALACTICOS YOU HERBY TO BE PLACED UNDER ARREST! Please come peacefully or we WILL use force''
Oh no I thought ,and preceded to run like that that 'stallion' did .To say the least they came after me and those horse people are fast as fuck ,but as it turns out im faster than them and managed to lose them in the thick forest .there I found what would be my new home .A little run down shack in the middle of nowhere . As I hid here I here them walking around and whispering quiet loudly .I quickly hid myself in fear of them finding me .As the sounds of talking and walking fade away I dare to look out side ,and see no one around (sigh)
''That was close''
And with that I sat down behind the wall of the shack and rested trying to find out what was going on.
Its been four months since the.......incedent ,and my life is going great .I havent seen a horse person in two months which mean ther're giving up on the search for me .I can finally reast easy now .Life is going good for me. The next day . I can't shake this fealling off ,like some thing bad is going to happen .I try falling asleep to reast it of but every time I close my eyes this place in the woods appears before me .I'm also getting a teriable headache .
''Son of a bitch this headache hurts''
I walk outside in hope of walking it off .This seems to be the case as the migraine seems to go down a bit . As I'm walking to who knows were I start to notice all the nature around me .
''Man this place is beautiful''
I say to no one in particular .
''I hope this forest forever remains free''
As I'm walking my headache soon goes away ,only to be replaced by something..........dark and brooding .This 'feeling' started to grow more and more until..............oh no..............I was standing in that same patch of woods that I saw in my dreams only this time there was someone their ,and he was in pain by the looks of it . I move over to help but something happened ,I stopped right on top of him and just looked down at quivering form . He looked up and his eye went wide for a while ,but then they just relaxed like wasent afraid anymore .
''Just get it over with''
He said
''Please ,the paine.......the paine is to much''
I had no idea what he was he was talking about ,but something happened ,and to this day I still don't know what it was .Only that it happens whenever I do this too someone . I gently placed my hand on his forehead and said
''Rest child''
After I said this he simply closed his eyes and stopped..........breathing .
''Oh no ,wake up.....come on horse person wake up''
I cept on shaking him ,but it was of no use .
''So this is what death means''
''So this is who I am'' ---------------------------------- As make my way to my little shack in the woods I think to myself 'why am I death' and 'am I a bad person' .All these questions and more fill my head as I walk into my 'house' .As I lay down I promise myselfe that I won't hurt anyone and I will stay in these woods for the reast of my days . Oh how wrong was I . She had to have found me .
Five years later Celestias POV I HATE my life ,not littarly mind you but you get the point .Today is my twentieth birthday and so far it hasn't been all that great .Now I know what you think 'how can anypony not like there birthday' but I have some really good reasons to not like this birthday in particular .
''Tia''
I here my sister say .
''It's time''
'Oh great' I thought .
(Sigh)"may as well get it over with''
I say to myself .Going back to why I won't like today's party .Its (or his) name is Rancerlot the hottest alicorn in the world (or so he says) ,and knowing its my twentieth birthday he WILL try to propus to the most beautiful alicorn in the world (aka me) .What makes matters worse is my that my parents won't no will not say no to his proposal ,and unless I find somepony else to marry by my twenty first I will have to marry that mother bucking asshole . As I walk outside into the hallway I meet up with my sister Luna (who is eighteen by the way) and start walking toerwards the ballroom were the party is being held at .
''So sister''
I look torwards Luna .
''You going to sa-'' ''Don't even finish that sentence Luna ,you already know the answer'' ''But tia ,he is handsome'' ''And a asshole'' ''He is rich'' ''But he is spolald'' ''He is the son of the second most powerful alicorn family in equestria'' ''I.don't.care'' ''I don't care for what my dear''
I cringe a little at the sound of his snobbish voice .I turn around and put my fake as hell happy face and say
''I didn't care much for last nights stars Ranceolot ,they weren't appealing at all''
Lunas face at that moment was priceless .Pay backs a bitch Luna and so am I .
''Well I for one thought they were marvoles ,one of your best works so far Luna .Keep up the good work''
Dear Faust I thought ,what a brown noser .But Luna distracted by his stuped as hell face simply smiled and noded .After this we all started walking down the hall torwards my 'party' .As we walked through the impossibly large doors everpony in the room stood up and boud to me .It was really ackward for me .Me and my sister quickly find our seats besaid our father .As we sit down they stopped bauing and went back to their bisnues .This continued for about two hours untill......oh no.......Ranceolot stood up went to to the front of my table and utters these terrifying words .
''King galactos on the behalf of my family I Rancerlot herby ask you that may take your daughters hand in marriage''
Oh shit ,I looked to my father and in his eyes I know what he is going to say .He stands up and says these horrifying words
''I king galactos king of the equstrias herby bless the engagement of you and my daughter''
He looks to me expecting a a smile of gratitude on my face ,but all he sees is a look of horrer on said face . Him and many nobles looked confused .What I do next baffles them .I go bat shit crazy .I flip the table distracting them and the busting through one of the stained glass windows flying as fast as I can . -------------------------------------------------- One hour later I have been flying for at least one hour straight and in dire need of reast ,but I keep pushing on knowing that they already sent out search party's after me .As I'm flying I start to dose of ,I shake my self awake but the sleepiness catches up to me and soon I'm asleep . There was the sound of wind in my dream as wake up ,when I open my eyes I see the ground rushing at me .
''OH SHIT''
I immediately opened up my wings in hopes of slowing the fall ,but this does nothing as I hit the tree line .When I land on the ground I'm in so much paine ,I try to stay awake but soon unconsciousness sets in and I pass out ,that's when he found me .
Clang clang clang The sound of metal clangs against metal ,it almost blocked out the sound of something big ,fat ,and heavy breaking through the forest............almost.
''What in the world''
'Clang' I drop the sword I was working on and rush out side to see what the hell was going on. As I make my way to were I heard the sound I start to prepare my self for what might be there, you can never know if it's a lion bat scorpion thing or a wood dog. Ax in hand I make my way over to were the noise was made. I bust into the clearing and
''Oh shit''
There was one of those horse people, but this one was.....different. She had both wings and a horn and was dare I say it quite. She had pink hair and white as snow fur, her dress may have been at one point beautiful but was all messed up and dirty. Not wanting to leave her there to the elements I scoop her up and take her to my shake. Once there I set her down on my bed and try to cover her as best I could. It's winter now and it can get very cold out here, espesaly at night. Knowing this I set out with my ax to chop up some firewood. I saw an old tree out in the clearing when I was invetgating the sound (aka really heavy horse person). As I'm walking torwards the tree I start to think 'why is she all the way out here' only people with a me sentence come out here willingly and those who come here by acident don't come in this deep. All these thought and more come through my mind as I chop down the tree. After I finish I start to drag it back to my shack. As I get to my front door I here something or some horse person walking around and going through my stuff, thinking about the horse person in my shack I quietly opened my door with my ax raised, only to put it back down when I realised the it was only the horse girl. I then asked
''What is your name''
Celestias POV ''Uhhhhh'' I shoot up imedetly shoot up and looked around to see were I was. Instead of the wilderness I expected I in a house or more apropaly a shack of sorts. I get up out of a........bed what the buck. Okay celestia calm down your not going to get raped ore chopped up into tiny pieces and made into soup for hillbilly canibouls. I check myself to see if I have any shackles or something like that on my hooves or hands. Satisfied that I didn't have any forms of restrictens I get out of the bed and start walking around the shack to get a feel of my souroundings. I walk around and see that whoever lives here is a talented metal worker as I see all off the creations on the walls and. As I'm looking around at the various axs, forks, and knives I don't here the door open and to my surprisement a deep but very nice voice said
''What is your name''
I jumped a little and turned around and saw something that scared and in tread me at the same time. Now I am a tall pony about seven and a half hooves tall but he (or that's what I think it is anyway) was easily taller than me and that's really saying something. He was at least eight hooves tall darwfing even me, he was wering a pitch black trench coat and a face conciling hood he had a sword with a dragon design on his back with a ax in his right hand and a piece of wood in other.
''What your name horse person''
Oh name what is my name going to be, I can't use celestia because he might report me so I pick the first thing that pops into my head.
''My name is Charlie''
I mentally slap my self for that. No way is he going to fall for that only a complete moran would fall for tha-
''OK''
Wate He fell for that.....wow let's see how long this will last.
''What are you doing all the way out here. Horse people normally don't come this far into the woods''
She looked at as if she were offended by what I had said.
''First of of all we are not 'horse people' we are, second of all what are you doing all the way out here''
'Crape' I thought what am I going to tell her that I'm hiding from the locals or that I killed someone. No keep it together death you can bluff your way out of this.
''I don't seem to like large or even small crowds, they make me anxios as hell''
She seemed content with that answer and moved on to the next question.
''What is your name''
''Drake''
I answered quickly. She then recomposed herself and sat there as if waiting for something to happen. Confused I to sat there waiting to see what happens, after awhile of awquwerd silence it was very clearly that she was getting impatient. Finally she said some thing.
''Well'' she started. ''Arnt you going to make some food'' ''Ooh......right, let me get on it right away then'' ''I'm not stopping you''
As I got up and started the stove going I got some food out 'I wonder if she likes beef and beans' I thought. After awhile I had finished making the food I found Charlie sit sitting where I had left her. Looking up she tied to look me the eye but could not because of my hood. After I set down the plates and sat down to start eating Charlie looks at me and says.
''What is this'' ''Beef'' I tell her. ''And were does this come from'' ''Cow''
After saying that one word she starts to look sick and then does the compleatly unexpected the ever, she run out side and trow up. Man that was a site and smell. After her episode she came back in to see me merely eating away at my food, she then goes out side to throw up...........again.
Well that happened, it seems that these 'ponies' as they call them selves don't eat meat and are entirely vegetarian as it seems. 'Great' I thought 'I have to go get more food'. It's not that I don't eat vegetables it's that there really hard to find this time of year.
"well may as well try", I said to no one in particular "besides I need the vegetables too"
As I continued trying and failing miserably to find carrots in the dead of winter like any sane person would do. In my walking I couldn't help but wonder were that pony person Charley came from. By the looks of her I say she was from one of the cities that dot the place and was flying to a village and got lot out here. 'Poor soul' I thought so far away from home and only a creepy hooded guy for company until she finds a way out of here and not get killed in the process. My thinking was rudely interrupted when the bastard child of a lion, bat, and scorpion walked into mine and I walked into his line of sight. Now five years ago I would of crapped my pants in pure fear, that was until I realized that I'm the most dangeres thing in this blasted forest and could kill anything with just a touch of my hands. This particular um a.......thing knew that and was 'shacking in his boots' so to speak as it must of been in that pack that I completely annihilated in my third outing. This creature seemed to remember quite vividly of said account and an like the wind screaming like that girl who was pretending to be a guy when I first appeared.
Somewhere else entirely
Harts Oats felt his man hood get insulted and felt inadequate compared to even the lowliest of men he then spent the rest of his natural born life scrapbooking, taking needle point, and battling fire timber wolves to the death in order to prove his great manliness
Back to the forest with thee
I had finally found some vegetables and was going back to my cabin in the woods. When I got back I noticed that Charley was outside waiting for me or something like that. Her ears perked up and she turned my way, seeing what was in my hands she smiled and went inside I fallowed suit and found the she had set the table and relit the fire. I looked at the table and saw that she did some weird things with my forks, spoons, and knives it looked kinda like this She had taken the vegetables I had gathered and was cutting them up and putting them into a pot full water, she was also humming some tune to this. I felt kind of awkward just sitting there not knowing what to do to help her as I did not feel hungry at that moment and she was putting some weird stuff into the stew, like hay and were those oats or is my mind playing tricks on me again. uhhhhh this is going to be weird.
Celestias POV
After I made my stew I poured me and drake a bowl and served him and sat down and started to eat. When I looked up I noticed tat he was just staring at the bowl like it was the weirdest thing in the world to him.
"you don't like your soup" "what....oh no its not that its just..." "just what" I inquired. "just that I can't eat this" "why" "I don't think my stomach would like it" "nonsense eat" "No thank you" "come on it can't be that bad for you" "I threw up last time I ate this stuff" "really prove it" "I will"
He got a spoonful and shoved the hole thing into his mouth, reverscicoligy for the win. He started chewing and then swallowed, he looked up and my proud smirk plastered on my face. I was about to ask how it tasted when I heard a low growling coming from his stomach his hand went striate to where his face was and I guess was covering his mouth (hood covering his face and all) and ran outside and started spewing like a volcano. 'Well his going to be weird' I thought
Oh god what was in that soup 'hurk' it feels like a fucking timber wolf trying to claw out of my stomach. Charlie then came out to presumably cheek on me.
"Oh my. I am so sorry I had no idea you couldn't eat hay" "You don't say hu"
Being honest with my self though she did look like she was sorry.
"Look it's okay, there was no real harm done"
At that she smiled weakly and then helped me up and back into the shack. When we got back inside she then went about making more soup but made sure to question me about all the ingredients I can and can not eat. When she finished and put the bowl in front of me I looked at it and then looked to her, she had this worried look on her face like I would die or something. I shakingly brought the spoon to my mouth ate the contents, the taste was well kinda not the best not the worst far from it, Though it was severely lacking in the flavor department.
"It's good" I sorta lied
At this she beamed at the sorta complement with much pride.
"Well thank you I put a lot of work and into that stew" she said while taking a bite
While we ate Charlie tried to make small talk with me
"So what do you do for a living" "Nothing" "Oh. So your not out here looking for gems or gold" "Nnnnope" "Oh okay. So any hobbies" "Metalworking" "Ah so that's what those tools are for" "Yes" "So what do you make" "Weapons and tools"
At this Charlie noded and went back to her soup. That when I decided to ask some questions.
"So do you have a death wish or something"
Oh god the look on her face, priceless.
"No I do not have a death wish" "Then what the hell are you out here for" "I could ask you the same" "I'm out because one I look like a creepy stalker and two because anything that trys to kill me suffers critical exsitance failure"
She looked at me and sighed.
"'I,m out because...........uh.....I kinda ran away from my home"
At that stopped eating and realized something. If she ran away they'll be looking fur her and if they find her she'll tell the about me.
"So you ran away?" "Yes" "Okay" "is every thing okay, you seem quite.....well....... worried" "oh no I'm perfectly fine"
Fuck fuck fuck, what am I gonna fucking do theirs gonna be ponies or some shit looking for her and if they come around here my hole shtick is gonna be fucked. (ruler of belief system here) dammit why did she halve to land near me and why did I take her in, Fuuuck my life was so good before this. Okay maby I can fix this maby if I could............uhh..............ditch her were they can find her without seeing me, yes that's my plan ditch her in a clearing or some shit any thing that will get her out of my life as soon as possible yes gotta start planing this.
Celestias point of view
"Hum excuse me drake but were is your lavatory, I find myself in need of relieving myself" "huh...oh it's out back to the left near the workshop can't miss it''
As I made my way to the back he went back to mumbling to himself, about what I don't know (all I heard was too heavy and not enough people) but never the less I had a mission and it was to tinkle, as I made my way to he bathroom I caught a glimpse of his workshop and needless to say I was Impressed, many tools were hanging from the walls and floor and blades as tall as I am were proped up and dozens of knives and axes of varing sizes laid strewn across the table. As I made my way to the lavoritiory I noteced one of the blades almost hidden from veiw. as I went towards it I couldent help but feel a sense of absoulute dread, as if this peticulare sword was somehow the most dangerous thing here. I shook my head and went the other way deciding not to investigate further.
"Now where did he say the bath room was?"
Authors note Im not dead Expect at least two updates by the end of the month
