> Language barrier > by A_Pony_Name > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Split- > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack I woke up and looked at the clock, 8:22!! I was late and needed to hurry, my class was on the opposite side of the campus! I quickly got out of bed, got dressed and ran into the kitchen where I saw my roommate Matt. He has dirty blond hair, fair skin and is really tall. He tossed me some toast and jokingly jabbed, "damn, did you invite a bird into your hair, it's a real mess." I chuckled then looked into a mirror, I looked hideous. I'm already late, what's a minute more? I headed into the restroom where I did my hair. "Don't forget to shut the door, Jack!" Matt told me. As I was leaving the room. "Don't get your panties tied in a knot Matt!" I jokingly shot back at him. Before he could respond, I shut the door and left. My first class was science, and I was running late. As I jogged from one end of the university to the other, I thought I heard a bang so I looked back but I couldn't see anything so I just shrugged it off. By the time I made it to class, the professor had already started his lecture. "Crap." I muttered to myself. "... the origins of this new bacteria are unknown and potentially dangerous." wow new bacteria? I wondered in silence about what it could be. RING RING. RING RING. "Hello," the professor said, answering my phone. Still wearing the mic, "really!?" He looked astounded, "of course, I will be right there." He hung up then addressing us added, "I will be going to check on my project, to see something, class will be dismissed but I expect you to read on and give me an essay a week from now. About how you think bacteria will evolve to human cleaners in the next hundred years. damn do I hate this class. When looking around, I saw people getting up and leaving. I shrugged and decided to leave the classroom and head back to my dorm. On the way there, i decided I would check out the library for some books on bacteria. I headed over to the science section and got the books. When I sat down, I noticed the jocks all yelling at jokes and being dicks to a few people. I decided to get up and head to my dorm. As I started walking away, one of the jocks gave me a look "what are you looking at You little piece of shit?", he said and I sneared "Wouldn't you like to know." I mumbled, and apparently he heard it because he got up and cracked his knuckles. By the time he and his friends got up I was gone, running to my room. When I got back I noticed that the place was trashed, already being slightly pissed, I decided to call out to Matt. "Matt, did you seriously have a party in the hour that I was gone!!" As I made my way into his room I froze, he was gagged and tied up to a chair. I hurried up pulled my knife out of my pocket and started cutting away at his bonds. He opened his eyes halfway through and he lit up. I got the gag off him and asked what happened. Right as he started talking, his eyes filled with dread, and he stammered out, "b-b-beh-hind y-y-you!" He then, clutching his throat looked at me and fainted. My stomach lurched, thinking that he just died. I then realized what it was that he just said. I quickly looked behind me just in time to see a large needle jamming its way into my back. Celestia "Princess, we have news of a pony gone rouge. It was Spec Ops, he disappeared and we have heard from our spies that he has resurfaced in Saddle Arabia." An advisor started, "we have reason to believe that he has gathered a team of insurgents and killing those whom stand in his way!" "Is that all? You don't seem to be telling the full truth." I told him sternly. He gulped and said, "O-of c-course princess. Rumors have started to spread about a thing of theirs held captive, it seems as though the body of a Minotaur but taller." When he left, I twitched and started thinking i can't have a rebellion at my hoofs, I am just starting to get the world together. And this Minotaur, I will have to investigate further. "Servant! I need parchment and a quill, I have some writing to do." Before anypony could say a word, I left to my chambers. When I got there, my desk had all the right equipment, so I got to writing. I need you for "casual business". I dipped the letter into some dragon fire and watched as it burned away. Pinkie pie bloop bloop your in my brain, wow this is so cool, you have no id- "Pinkie, i would like two triple dipped chocolate cupcakes," Dashie said. I'll get back to you later reader. "That will be two bits Dashie." I said with glee, already getting the cupcakes from the shelf. "Pinkie, I told you not to call me that." Dash said while blushing. "Okey dokey!" I said back. but then started to feel something strange, twitchy leg! "look out! twitchy leg, twitchy leg!" Dash ducked and closed her eyes. A small thud sounded out and we opened our eyes, a golden letter was sitting in between the two of us. It had a seal that i knew way too well. "We are closed now dash," I said in a flat tone of voice, my hair straightening out. She looked at me with a deadpan expression, not budging, so I forcibly pushed her out, "closed." "Pinkie, wh-" Dash started, but I cut her of with the slam of the door. I picked up the letter and headed up stairs to see what my 'friend' needed. When i got to my room I closed the door and looked at the single paper. I slowly opened it as Pinkamena broke out, taking over my entire body as I was pushed to the back of my head and everything blurred out. Pinkamena I looked at what the paper said, I need you for "casual business". wonderful, I was hoping for a nice hmmmm... how do I put this.... SURPRISE > Divine intervention- > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pinkamena I let out a small chuckle before getting to business. I walked up to the safe that said, ONLY FOR PINKAMENA, it was covered in confetti, obviously that brat Pinkie Pie trying to get into my safe with her lame party cannon. Hey I heard that. As I was thinking, that brat stole so much from me, my composure, my body, and my only family. Yet she still calls me a "disorder." Anyway, enough venting, more progress. I opened the safe and pull out the paper work. It was files and files of unholy things done for the crown. I looked at my first assignment I had ever gotten. Cheese Sandwich, Royal Operative gone rogue once a spy for the crown then started selling secrets to the nation of Gryphonia. Being charged with treason of the highest order. Interrogate, then assassinate target, no witnesses. Ah, I remember what happened to him. Pinkamena I looked at the note one last time before I headed out. Damn, Pinkie Pie is going to be sad after I do this. But this is my test. I prepared the interrogation room and went into pinkies room, got into stockings, and wrote a letter. HEy CHeESY wHEEsY, coMe ovEr toNite so We can get to knOW eaChOther BeTter. I dipped the terrible, yet pinkie-like letter into dragon fire, and waited. i rehearsed the situation in my head, he would come in, i would seduce him, then get him with a sleeping potion. Then i would start to interrogate hi-. DING DONG. When I went up to the door, opened it and then in a sultry tone said, "hey cheese, I need you to come up to my room for a project I've been working on" I winked, "do you mind?" I bat my eyelashes and then walked up the stairs. When I got up the stairs, I readied the sleeping potion and the chair. Is this really what I want? Pinkie Pie will be so sad, do I really need this? "Of course I do", I said to myself. Still nervous about the whole thing. When he got to my room, I started shivering, I need to do this. he then told me, "You don't look to good Pinkie, your shaking like a nervous wreck!" Then added in a hushed tone, "more so than usual at least." I knew I had to do it, but Pinkie was crying in the back of my brain, You don't understand Pinkamena, he is my world, do you not understand?! She pushed against my control but I pushed back. "No," I said through clenched teeth. "What was that," he said getting into the bed. "NO!" I screamed, lunging at him. I pinned him to the ground and poured the liquid down his throat. When he saw what it was that I put down his throat, his eyes bulged. "Hello Cheese Sandwich , how is 'retirement'?" I said with as flat of a face I could, pushing pinkie completely out of our head. "P-p-p-pinkie?" He said, drowsiness evident in his voice. "Oh no, your dealing with Pinkamena now." Now under full control. "Then your dea-", he yawns, "ing with Sharp Cheddar." His coat turned a darker shade of orange and his cutie mark turned into an arrow of cheese. He slowly nodded off to sleep and I got him into the chair. Just as he started to wake up, I- TAP-TAP-TAP Rainbow Dash "What is taking Pinkie so long?!" I thought to aloud, "She isn't acting herself." I took a second Before thinking, WHAT IF SHE IS IN TROUBLE AND NEEDS MY HELP! "Don't worry Pinkie, I'm coming to save you." I mumbled under my breath. I flew right at the door, trying to kick it down, but just landed with a hurt leg. Hurt leg and ego aside, I flew up to all the windows and found pinkie just staring at a piece of paper. TAP-TAP-TAP I tapped on the window to get her attention but she just waved and closed the curtains. Well if she isn't in trouble now, I'll keep guard to make sure no one disturbs her. I stood like a statue in front of sugar cube corner. Jack I woke up and had the worst headache of my life, it felt like I had just been run over by a truck. five more minutes please. but then yesterday's events washed over me. Fuck fuck fuck, WERE AM I! I jerked my eyes open, and was greeted with a headache of lights and colors, I tried to move my arms and legs, but they were bound by pieces of clothing. As I scanned the area as keenly as I could, I noticed a huge bird right above me, watching my every move. I was in a large barn-like room. I tried to call out for someone but when I tried to speak, I noticed a gag that was placed in my mouth. I really started to freak out when I noticed, but to top it all off, the bird let out a terrifying SQUAW and dove straight to the ground in front of me. I started to hyperventilate out of my nose, when it started screeching at me in an ungodly speed. Then it reached for my head. Firth I dove down to the things position and started talking, "Hello..." when it didn't say anything, I realized that it still had the gag on. "I am sorry, let me get that thing off of you," I reached for the gag and tore it off. It was had its eyes closed so I tapped it on the shoulder. "Are you ok, I know us griffins are scary, but I will be nice." I said genuinely. It started to scream, so I put the gag back on and had trixie put another sleep spell on the thing. I went back to my perch and waited till it woke up again. While I was waiting, Trixie came up to me and said, "this will change everything firth, Celestia's tyranny will finally end. I wish I could share this achievement with those I love, but don't want to risk somepony knowing my secret weapon. This will finally be the time where all are free under Celestia's wrath." Two Hours Later The thing woke up again and I took a slow glide down and I took the gag off and it started... speaking? If it was, it was no language that I had ever heard, and I was famed for knowing all languages out there. When it spoke, I tried my hardest to listen but it just kept rambling along and I had no clue what it was saying. Jack "Please, oh lord, I know I haven't talked to you in a while, but please save me from this. I know I have sinned, and I know I'm not that close to you but please, have mercy." I sat there in my binds praying for a miracle, when it squawked again. That's when I heard a little voice inside my head, one that I am sure was God. Find out what they need child, I cannot help you, but I can tell you that they need you so please my child, listen and learn. From that divine intervention, comes the end of my old life, and the beginning of another. A life that I would need to listen and learn everything I could in order to survive. > Letter- > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack I decided I would take a nap. I need to understand the gravity of this situation: God just talked to me! after I had my small nap, I took a deep breath and prepared to digest the information. I am in a room with beings never before seen and have been told to listen and learn. Its O.K., I took a deep breath, I can do this. I will adapt. Firth I looked at this creature as it cried and saw a dying man in a healthy-looking body. I looked over to Trixie and asked her, "Why did we need him, why not his roommate, or anyone else? I don't understand why we needed to take him." "We needed him because he is the only member of their species that can speak our language and have magic implanted into him. His ancestors were the ones who taught earth ponies farming, pegasi flying and unicorns magic. In the forgotten history of Equis, man was there before all others, they saved our dying race, but then they randomly went extinct, and no pony knew why. At least until I found a rip when scanning the royal palace, they were banished by a being greater than you can imagine. The only reason I know this, is because he spoke to me, he told me where and when to find Jack. The only other thing he told me, He called himself 'God'"." She told me very enthusiastically. I responded with, "cool, then let's get to business, I have a lot to teach this hatchling." "Trixie is glad you are still willing to help," she said with a crooked smile, then left. I pulled up a book on the alphabet and started teaching. Jack When I finally stopped crying, I saw the bird-like thing get up and untie my bonds. When I got up, I noticed that it had a book in its... Claws? It opened the book and started squawking in small bursts. It gave the book to me and I looked at the page, there were symbols that I had never seen before. When I looked up again, I saw a chalkboard and it was writing on it. It was the same symbols as on the book. Then it said the glyphs very slow and pointed to each one. "Chawn, dawn, kren, hept, msst,..." I tried to repeat the strange sounds, but when I failed, I had an idea. On the other side of the chalkboard, I started writing the English alphabet. "This would be way better if I had my backpack," I muttered to myself. Firth I watched as this creature wrote symbols on the back of the chalkboard, then listened to him sound each one out. So this must be its language, but then it said something that threw me off guard. Jack I pointed at "a" and said, "letter" then to "b", "letter" and so on and so forth. The thing then got up and pointed at 'a' and said, "Leddshtaer?" Then pointed at 'b' and said, "leddarrr" He then flipped the board, and pointed at one of the glyphs. Firth "Letter" I said to the creature exitedly, then pointed to the next, "letter" It tried its best at pronouncing 'letter' but barely succeeded. I told it again and it said, "ledder." Probably better than I said it in its language. It then circled the entire thing. Jack "Alphabet" I said circling everything, then went to 'g', "letter, letter." I started pointing at random letters and saying letter then back at the alphabet. We went on like this for an hour before giving up because of a new problem. My stomach growled. It tilted its head as if unsure of what just happened. SHIT how to explain hunger. I spent a full two minutes like this, until I decided to throw imaginary food into my mouth. Firth The hell is this thing doing, I just heard a strange noise come out of its body and now it's motioning towards its mouth. I decided to point toward my beak and mimic him, if this is a normal social thing it does. I continued until it hit itself in the head and shook its head. It's face then lit up, it started drawing something on the board. It looked like a chunk of meat, with an arrow pointed toward its gullet. That's when Trixie showed up. Jack "what the hell is that?" I wondered aloud, looking at a blue horse unicorn. It started speaking to the thing in front of me and I could pick out letter and alphabet being said. Then the unicorn turned to me and showed me a plate with a couple foods drawn in pen. I saw grass, meat and what looked to be a cupcake. I circled the meat and suddenly a large uncooked slab of unknown meat appeared in front of me. Trixie As I started to walk away, I heard the thing yell and hurry to the chalkboard. It was drawing... something. It looked almost like magic but then I saw the full picture, it was a fire. "Oh..." I used my magic to teleport some small logs in and create a small fire, then it took a stick, cut a peace of hydra meat off the slab and roast it over the fire. Firth I wasn't expecting the creature to pick meat, because everypony is vegetarian. I watched as he called for a fire and cook the hydra meat. I just took bites out of the slab. We sat there in silence for a while, so I decided we would learn names while we ate, I got up and pointed toward myself, "Firth" I pointed at Trixie who was eating a salad, "Trixie." Her head popped up and then back down. Jack The bird thing got up and pointed toward itself. It said something so I tried to repeat it, "Fithhh, no, Frith" I looked up. Then pointed toward the unicorn, "Trickkzy." Firth This thing has a long way to go. It then got up and pointed toward itself, "Jack" I pointed toward him and said, "shazk?" Oh well, we both have a long way to go. Trixie "Good work today Firth, I am going to my quarters for some rest." I teleported out and pounced on my bed. Then talking to myself, "This is going to take forever." UHGGG > EVIL- > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trixie I woke up, sighed, and started praying to the one who sent me the creature. Thank you, you have sent me the one thing I have needed my life, HOPE. When I got out of bed, and went to see the creature. It had tears in its eyes. I sighed for the second time in five minutes and woke up Firth. "Trixie needs you to cook a meal for yourself and it," I said gesturing to the beast lying down on the undersized mattress. Jack I woke up to the sound of a door opening and closing, then saw the 'Trixie' checking out my eyes. She (or he) then walked up to the bird and said a few words and left. The bird got up and without saying anything left as well. I looked around for anything that could help me leave. I tried the door, but it was locked. The walls were made of wood, but when touched let out a blue aura. "freaky," I muttered. I sat back down and waited for 'Firth'. When the bird came back, he was holding a plate that had a food that looked like pancakes. Firth gave me one plate and sat down on the other mattress with his (or hers). The first bite that I took was strange, it tasted like whole grain pancakes but zesty. We ate the pancakes in silence then Firth said, "Jace?" "Jack" I responded pointing at myself. "Jak?" Firth said pointing at me again. "yes, Jack" pointing toward myself. "Yass Jack?" it said with a crooked head, I shook my head and said "Jack." Today is going to be a long day. Celestia "Hello Spec," I said in a tender tone. Pinkie had found Spec smuggling blueprints for very technologically advanced weapons into Saddle Arabia. I looked directly into his eyes and smiled a maniacal smile. "You thought you could turn your back on the crown?" I magicked him onto a chair and tied him down. Then leaning down, mouth almost touching his ear, I whispered, "Here is your reward" Then quickly sliced off his ear, blood splattering on my face. "How could you," he said to me, tears running down his face. "YOU EVIL PIECE OF SHIT!" I stuffed a gag in his mouth. Shifting into a motherly tone again, I said,"You need to be quiet young one," holding the knife in front of his face, continued saying "you wouldn't want another Boo-Boo, would you?" He started yelling into the mask for help but was greeted with silence. "Have you ever heard the quote, 'No pony can hear you scream?" His eyes widened in fear. I laughed madly and cut off the other one, saying the same line, "Here is your reward." I then made a cut of the royal seal on his forehead. He screamed, an ungodly scream. When he finished with his outburst, I yelled, "I CLAIM THIS AS PROPERTY OF EQUESTRIA. FURTHERMORE REVOKING THE RIGHTS IT HAD." Leaving him to whimper in pain, I got up a walked to my quarters. Spec Ops I sat, quivering with fear as she yelled her spiel. When she was finished, she locked the cell and continued onward. Leaving me to sit in silence. I was beginning to lose all hope, and accept defeat but I heard the guard to my right say something. "I know how you feel, I was in your place before." I looked up, confused at what he was saying. He then looked me dead in the eye and asked me how willing I was to get out of there.... I swear I say a flash of green in his eyes. Celestia That felt good! I took a bath and got into my nightgown. When I rested my head on the pillow, I remembered about Pinkie. I teleported over to my desk and began writing. Pinkie Pie "Alright girls, it's time for bed now. We have all had long days." Twilight said, while everyone else was already curling up on their respective beds. "Maybe a very long day, for most of us." She chuckled. That day, Celestial sent us to the Griffonian borders, looking for crimes against Equestria. When we got their, there was a lot of talk about 'The Great and Powerful Trixie' and her project. Although none of us had known what her project could have been, we sent the princess a letter about it. I layer down on the bed a almost closed my eyes when- I got the feeling. Oh no, Celestia is asking for Pinkamena again. I quickly excused myself to the bathroom then caught the falling letter. Pinkamena I stared at the letter and grimaced. This body was already tired enough from Pinkie using it, but it is also 12 am. For the princess, I reminded myself. I was to find this centaur and report about him, but no killing. Unusual, but who am I to judge. Coordinates were attached to the note. It was around the courthouse, but no exact location. I spent the night breaking into pony and griffin houses alike, until I decided I would go for the courthouse itself. 3:00, I approached the door and using Pinkie-physics, pushed myself through the lock. Now that I was inside, I walked down the corridors. Finding nothing, I went the other way. Finding nothing again, made me suspicious, I walked into each room carefully and when turning the corner into the last room, I noticed monitors. Those cost thousands of bits, no pony here could afford 1, let alone 10. The money wasn't adding up, something must be goin- I was interrupted by an opening door, and a shuffling of hooves. "Why hello Mrs. Pinkamena, how are you." Said an all to familiar voice. "You doing well, because I hope so." Definitely know the voice. "Who goes there?!" I said, searching for a way out, when he relieved himself. "Oh," he said in a mocking voice, "does Pinkie Winkie not remember me?" Before I could open my maw, he whispered something inaudible. A flaring pain went up my spine and I was magically locked, incapable of using my Pinkie magic. SHIT. The last thing that went through my mind was... Sharp Cheddar. > Dribbling in Dark Magic- > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack "Uhhg!" I practically screamed for the millionth time, "how will I do this!" I thought while thinking of the language I was currently learning. I had been put in this room over one week ago, and I have barely made any progress. Their language, 'Equestrian' makes absolutely no sence. I've met numerous ponies by now, and from what little I can make out from their Equestrian, they are saying how I am the hope to their 'family' ...family... I miss them so much, my brother Chad, my best friend, Renn. My parents, even my step-mom, I miss them all so much. I know it has only been a week and a half, but unknowing if I will be able to return home ever, makes it feel like an eternity. And my roommate, Matt, what happened to him? Did he die? Head hung with sobering thoughts, I began to pace about. What had God meant? Surely I needed to do something, but what was it? As all these questions float about in my head, I began to pray. "Father up in heaven, please help me get through these times, help me understand this language, this place, and most importantly my purpose in this world...." I continued for about an hour, then with grief still in my heart, I opened my eyes and saw that Firth was there, giving me an odd look. Firth The tartus is this thing doing? I asked myself, I have seen Jack do this a lot and I know not what it is. I must remember to ask Jack this when we have the vocabulary for it. For the time being let's focus on today's lesson, casual talk. I gestured to our small table and sat down. Jack I sat down at our table and began to take out some notes that I had. Firth looked at me, the plucked out two of his feathers. I took one and said, "Thank you" in equestrian. Firth Jack smiled at me and said "sthank thū", I smiled. He had been studying since yesterday. Jack I am horrible at this. Firth I looked at the creature and smiled, and said, "learn 'HELLO'" then spelled it out, "H-E-L-L-O" Jack then wrote something down and said "hestto" then looked at me with a hopeful expression. Firth Today was going to be a long day. Trixie "What have we here?" I practically drooled out of my mouth. "An element of harmony?" "You know very well what I am, Trixie." Replied the chained ball of pink. I slapped her, then said in a calm voice, "I wouldn't want any back talk, especially from a prisoner. You never know what I might do." Pinkamena I listened to what Trixie had to say then looked around the room. I was in a plain wooden room, no windows. I was shackled to the back wall and was only allowed a meter of space. I went up against the wall and touched it. The wall glowed a light hue of blue, then faded back to the wood like color. I wasted my time away thinking about how I would get out when, abruptly, the door opened. "Pinkamena, I relieve you of duty." I barely saw what looked to be a crystal, then everything turned black. Trixie I got a crystal and started reading up on the forbidden spells, spells that tamper with your soul and memory. I searched and found many spells that I might need in the future, like transformation, animation and spell giving. I got to the one I was looking for, SOUL DIPPING. it allows one to look into, and take or give something from the soul. When I saw this, I got to studying and learning. When I understood the subject, I preformed this on a nearby plant. I saw a green aurora floating in darkness. I looked in and felt the plant. When it spouted as a bud, when it grew its first tomato, when finally got to where it was today. I tried to remove a small piece of it and saw what happened. I removed its memory of all tomatos and put in one of strawberries. It almost immediately changed. The tomatos were practically thrown off the vine, and a row of strawberry flowers emerged. Perfect. I got a crystal and charged it with a spell capable to hold an entire soul. I walked over to the cell and open the door fast. Before Pinkamena could react, I told her, "Pinkamena, I relieve you of duty." Then in a flash of light, I entered her head. When I got there, what I saw amazed me. There was two different souls. One of the rock farmer, Pinkamena, and one of a special operation pony, Rodger The Fith. Celestia had been implanting the souls of military ponies into average ponies. I picked out the one of Rodger and put it into the crystal. I then took out every memory of Pinkamena from Pinkies soul. Then, I knocked her out. I took her to her house and let her rest. Celestia "Your majesty, I would like to inform you that Pinkamena is back online and in her house." Said one of my more trusted servants. "Thank you," I spoke kindly, "prepare a chariot for me, please?" "Yes your majesty." He replied back to me. Pinkie I woke up and smelt the cent of ginger bread walls. "DELICIOUS!" I exclaimed. I did some of my morning routine, but heard someone down stairs. I ran into my drawer and found ninja clothes. I put them on in a half of a second, then bolted down stairs. But I stopped when I saw Celestia laying on Mr. Cakes couch. She looked at me and said, "Rodger, status report of infiltration mission." WHAT "Gee princess, I don't know what your talking about, but I don't know any 'Rodger' in this room," I said while jumping out of my clothes. I was then hit with a beam of majic and passed out. Celestia: 2 hours later "WHERE IS IT!!?!" I screeched in the mindscape. I was looking at Pinkies soul, but Rodgers was missing. Then it hit me, I might have a worse problem than I thought, the rebels have Rodger. This is not going well. > witchcraft and a gift- > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Celestia I eyed the book, then back onto the floorboards with the runes. I gently pushed the rune a centimeter up and began chanting over the body of a radioactive looking pony, green coat with a purple mane. RISE RISE RISE, OUT OF THE SAPPHIRE BACK FROM DEMISE FROM THAT PLACE OF IRE RISE RISE RISE INTO THIS PONY BEGONE WITH YOUR CRIES YOU WILL AGREE RISE RISE RISE I SHALT GIFT THEE THIS BODY SIR PINT SIZE! I performed the spell, then shielded my eyes. Combining souls emits a very bright light. When it was bearable to see, I found it had worked. A twisted grin was plastered onto my face, I had just mastered the spell I had gotten from Sombra. That he had used to make crystal ponies his slaves. Except I left their soul. I looked at the eyes of the newly pronounced Pint Size, getting his name from his small size. Looking him over again, he had a neon green coat with a purple mane, his glowing eyes giving me his undivided attention. He spoke with a voice akin to a Timber wolf, "What shalt thou have me do?" I smiled again. I heard hoof steps behind me and then a cold hoof on my back. I shivered down my spine, then looked to my lover. He smiled at my creation and said, "Amazing work, my dear." I smiled at him, then in a lustful tone whispered, "Sombra." "HA HA HA HA!" Down Sized I was so excited, I just got accepted into the princesses’ special academy for intelligence! When I trotted off to my dorm, said in a hushed whisper,"I won't let you down princess." After this, I heard a familiar pop and some hoofsteps coming from behind me. Knowing that my friends enjoy tormenting me, as I am very jumpy. Because of this, I put on my most stoic face and turned, eyes closed I said, "You won't get me this tim..." I looked up and saw Celestia looking down at me, her ethereal hair in my face. My face turned a bright red, losing its stoic facade almost immediately. She looked at me for a second, then laughed, "That is the silliest thing I have seen all day." She said, still smiling. My redness increasing tenfold. Noticing this, she came into comfort me, "there, there my little pony, it's Ok to be embarrassed." I tried to squeak out a "thank you" but could find the strength in me to do it. Suddenly a bright light enveloped my vision and I blacked-out. Jack I had began to grow stir crazy from the repetitive nature of the days here, and this windowless room. From the first day that I got here, I was put into the same room and not given much time to do anything. What made everything even worse, is that I wasn't allowed to leave the room. Now, I am not the most active man, but I enjoy my usual hikes and runs, however, I have been confined by this simple ten foot by ten foot room that only had a tiny mattress and stack of papers. On my person, all I had was my watch, my coat, and pants. All of which did me no good in entertaining myself. My health was also starting to deteriorate, because of all the meat I have been eating. They must take me for a carnivore, because of my now, strictly-meat diet. This was dandy in the beginning, but it is starting to become a distinct problem. My vocabulary has increased by a lot since I have been here, and I've only been here for two weeks. From what I have gained through short talks with Trixie, I am a 'hope' for their resistance. Because of this, I now see ponies in a regular basis, coming to meet me. Trixie "Discord, what have you to bring in?" I said to the draconequus, who had been working as a spy for the resistance. "Oh darling, I have absolutely everything to report," he responded in a crude manner whilst putting on shades, "it's all in that binder." Knowing discord, I waited three seconds for a binder to fall from the air. When I opened it, there was pictures of... Oh god... OH GOD... I don't even know how Fluttershy survived that THING. I quickly closed the folder, face red and coughed. Discord just took the shades off that he had just manifested and snapped the book into oblivion. He then turned a shade red and snapped another binder into existence. Preparing my mind for another mental onslaught, I found that this one had segments on the castle and policies enacted, rather than the... indecent pages in the last one. Going page after page, I found the one that I was looking for, those whose bodies had been turned into slaves. Discord, seeing that I had found the correct page said, "I am going to go now, Ta-Ta" then poofed into non-existence. Jack I waited for sleep to overcome me when I received a knock at my door. ... That was odd, usually when the ponies come to see me, they barge right in. I slowly got up, rubbing the fatigue out of my eyes and answered the door, except when I tried to grab the handle, I realized I can’t open the door from the inside so I decided to knock back. Just as my hand rose up to knock, the door flung inward. A distressed-looking doctor came in with something in her magical grasp. I saw her walk over to my bed and plop something down on it with a soft thud. She mumbled a few things to me and left, closing the door and locking it. Looking back to the bed, I saw something that astonished me, my backpack. "HELL YEAH!!!!!" I screamed then jumped onto the mattress. Trixie Haphazardly, I put a soundproof barrier his room for when the doctor goes to give the Human a satchel, just to make sure Jack didn't scream or something when he received it. I tried scrying Jack and saw him screaming while holding a… Brick?
