From a foreign world he came to fight to banish evil from the light. His body was morphed into a mighty beast and day by day his strength increased. The beast and a god had a mighty duel to see which one could possess the jewel. With the god slain, the beast had to disappear. Listen to the tale of Quake the Fenrir. -Jolly Quake *_*_* “Tomorrow seems so far away” I sang happily, as I padded down the stairs. Tomorrow was the day; I finally was going to graduate in the field of biology. I always had a thing for plants, animals well..anything organic. I don't know, it just clicked me the right way. Just imagining the feeling of discovering a new plant or creature just makes me giggle like a small girl, though of course don’t tell anyone I said that. Everything was set, so I might as well take a breather today for I am feeling very stressed. I ambled towards the study room, hoping I could find a certain book. As you expected the study room had books...plethora of them, well what do you expect from a having a father as a librarian. It was probably because of that why I fancied reading a lot and hence why I got A+ grades ….ok fine you got me, though I read a lot, I’m still a lazy bum so I got B- grades, but I still passed decently right? Anyways where was I? Oh right, books. I searched around pulling out books in hope to find this specific book; it was a book about mythological creatures. I always found it intriguing. I mean who wouldn’t wish to uncover a dragon or a harpy? Just think of the amount of fame you would get. “Oh bummers” I sighed sadly. “Looks like Dad took it to the library.” It seemed my father took a liking to the book too. I don't blame him; it contained a lot of unique facts and was signed by a well recognized author hence he had to yank it off Ebay at a hefty price. Oh well, might as well pay him a visit. I went to the kitchen to pick up the house keys, then checked around my abode to see if all windows were shut tightly, we can't have any thieves stealing anything precious can we? After putting on a raincoat and locking the door, I proceeded to walk to the Library which was like seven blocks away. Meh, might as well get some exercise. The day was very damp; the thunder clouds were starting to form as they swirled in the colorless sky. I passed the corner shop and noticed it was packed with people, probably escaping the incoming rain, heh..they’re scared of a little rain. Three blocks down, and the wind was starting to pick up heavily. This didn’t seem normal, there was now a warning on the weather channel about a big storm. Aww whatever, the library ain't so far away now. I shrugged in my jacked as the rain started pouring down. It was very chilly; it felt like it went right through my coat, another weird thing today. ‘Better pick up the pace’ I thought and started taking faster, bigger steps, covering distance twofold. Five blocks down, so close now. I think I can see the top of the library protruding from behind some apartments, yep it was no doubt. While I was gazing at the pike on the library, I accidently bumped into a rather slim, hooded man. “Oh, please excuse me” I apologized, but something didn’t feel right about this guy. I couldn’t see his face in the hood; it was like a black hole that went on forever. The mysterious dude just stared at me, I think? I don’t know since I couldn't see his face, I assumed he was, before he continued to walk down the path. “I take that as an apology denied then” I mumbled as I turned back down the pathway. The storm was insane, the rain was dropping like hail and the trees were swaying so tough I thought it was a hurricane, but a hurricane in the UK? I was now dashing my way to the library, it was seriously getting dangerous outside, I should have noticed when I didn’t see a living soul in the whole street. But something inside was pestering me, the storm only got this violent after my awkward bump with that guy...nah that ridiculous a person can’t have that weather manipulation powers, that's something you see in cartoons. The library was now in sight. “Bout time, hope dad has a towel, the water is breaking through this lame coat” I grunted as the winds threatened to pick me up and throw me across the continent. “Well at least tomorrow I’m gradu--ARRGH” An uncontrollable amount of pain, tore through my back and zagged through my body. I felt myself vibrate intensely as my vision began to fade. I felt my skin burning, it was like leaving your hand in a saucepan filled with sizzling oil. My heart was thumping wildly and I felt...like crapping my pants, for real no joke. The last thing I saw was the hooded man from before?! A evil grin emerged from the darkness of the hoodie as he prowled towards me before crouching down and whispering in my faltering ears. “You will be a great addition to my chaotic arsenal.” > Tree vs Wolf > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Force should be right; or rather, right and wrong, between whose endless jar justice resides, should lose their names, and so should justice too. Then everything includes itself in power, power into will, will into appetite; and appetite, an universal wolf, so doubly seconded with will and power, must make perforce an universal prey and at last eat up himself.” ― William Shakespeare *_*_* “Ugghhh.” My brain was pounding against my skull. I don’t know what in the blazes happened. One moment I was running, then I felt something very painful hit me, then that hooded man said something about chaotic arsenal, what did he mean? Anyways time to open my eyes. Grrr, since when was this so tough? After a few forceful minutes, I finally managed to open them, the sight was not what I expected. I was in a rainforest!? “What..the hell?” I said in an unexplainable kid like tone, it was like I was ten again. Anyways, where in the blazes am I? The last time I remember the United Kingdom didn’t have any jungles. Anyways lying on the ground won’t answer anything, and I better move before some leopard or whatever predators that resides in this jungle finds me. With some effort I managed to move my arms and legs, that's funny, they feel different. Maybe it’s just a side effect of getting knocked out. I tried to stand up, only to collapse back to the ground, I was more exhausted that I thought. “Great, might as well drag myself” I croaked through my dry throat as I started to pull myself across the canopy. Why do I feel so light? And why am I so damn thirsty? “Man, I *cough* really need to drink.” Luckily being in a rainforest meant there were many puddles to be found, I would probably get sick, but I really need to drink something if am to get some strength. I got over to a puddle and brought my head down into it with my eyes closed, drinking it like a dog would do. The feeling of the cool rain water washing down my anhydrous throat was one of the best feelings ever, besides having three X’s and taking two’s, if you know what I mean. After quenching my raging thirst, I opened my eye’s with a smile, only to be wiped off and replaced with a terrified look. There in the puddle, looking back at me, was a wolf or a whelp to be specific. Its fur was charcoal black with a cyan blue design of a circle with many arrows pointing outwards in all directions from it, on its chest and its ears were flopped down. But what really got me were those eyes. They were blood red and creepy, it was like it was piercing your soul, but besides that I saw pain in them, and maybe loneliness? I quickly turned around to see if there was a cub near me, but to no avail, I seemed to be the only one here, then it struck me like the iceberg to the Titanic. ‘Oh please, I hope this isn’t what I'm thinking’. I brought my vision back to the puddle and the same whelp was there gazing back at me. I gulped and moved an arm, only that it wasn’t an arm, it was a leg and those weren't hands, they were PAWS! “Oh god, oh god!” I started breathing faster “This is some type of joke.” Everytime I moved a paw the reflection would mimic it. I stuck out my tongue and licked around my lips, the whelp in the puddle did the same. This is not happening! I am not in a wolf's body! A baby wolf to make it worse! I started thinking deeply, scrambling around my brain, which was throbbing again. 'Ok, I was going to the library, I got hit by something then I blacked out.' I reasoned. After some long minutes of pondering an obvious explanation surfaced. I facepawed at my stupidity. “Of course! I'm such a fool, I’m dreaming!” I began chuckling, but instead of a sexy grown up chuckle it came out as this!No! Not like that, like this. But that's beside the point. So somehow I’m dreaming that I’m a baby wolf, meh I’ve had weirder dreams. Like one I had that involved three potatoes, a bucket of pelicans and Satan. Ok, now that's solved, I need to wake up now! My graduation is tomorrow, I’ve worked three long ass years for this day, I'm not about to lose it over a damn kids dream. ‘Since I don't have opposable digits I cant pinch myself’ I looked over at one of the many trees that grew in the jungle ‘But maybe a tree could help.’ I stood up on all fours, which was surprisingly ea-nah who am I kidding, this will take some time. *20 Minutes Later* “That should be enough.” I panted. It took me five minutes to get used to standing on all fours, then another ten to walk without planting my face into the ground, but once thats over running was a breeze. I turned my glare to the same tree and started walking back and forth, never leaving it out of my sight. “OK tree, I don’t like you and you don’t like me.” On cue a breeze blew strongly passing the ‘both’ of us. “Only one of us will stay here! And it won’t be me!” I squinted my eyes and charged at it, head lowered. “AAHHHH” I roared as the tree got closer, I prayed this works. Tree incoming, in five, four, three two one *CLONK* “%$#@” I cussed or better off, I howled, as my head connected squarely against the tree trunk , blazing up my pain receptors. I began to fall backwards towards the ground, in slow mo, clutching my furry head in between my paws as my consciousness began to swirl. I laid on the cold, soggy ground looking up at the cyan blue sky, through the branches of the tree’s as the warm embrace of unconsciousness came for me again “Fuck Bruce Willis.” Then black. Above the jungle, a certain cloaked chaotic spirit was laughing maniacally at the scene that unfolded “Oh yes!” He chimes as he rubbed his two uneven upper extremities together “This one will be the perfect heir.” *_*_* Canterlot Castle was on high alert. The guards were running insanely down corridors, left and right, searching for any clues. Princess Celestia was sitting in her throne room, contemplating at her sun through one of the many grand windows of the castle. Her face was plastered with a worried look, for it was a glum day. Discord, the one and only chaotic spirit has escaped from his stone cell, but the worse thing was that it wasn't today. According to the forensic ponies, it seemed he escaped his cell three days ago, during the moments of twilight, just when she and Luna were preoccupied with lowering the Sun and raising the Moon, he outsmarted them and took that exact moment when their guards were down to escape unseen. ‘Three days, yet he hasn’t materialized anywhere or caused any type of disarray. Just what are you planning Discord?’ “Tia.” A serious, firm voice called, snapping the pensive alicorn out of her worries “The Elements of Harmony are on their way to the castle, I have sent them the chariots a few minutes ago.They should be here before the dusk.” Celestia nodded approvingly “Much obliged Lulu” She averted her gaze back to the Sun “I haven’t been thinking straight since hearing the news of that fiends escapade,” she spat out. Discord has caused so many trouble for all PonyKind, he deserved to live the rest of his days locked up. Luna noticed the anxious face on her dear sisters face. “Tia, thou must remain calm and collected, for that it what he wants to achieve, he wants to make you feel nervous and insane.” The dark blue alicorn assured in a distinctly soothing tonation. Celestia rubbed her face and stood up from her throne. She trotted towards her younger sister and gave her a caring hug. “Thank you Lulu, you always seem to know how to calm me down.” “Thou do not hath to thank me, it is my duty as a sister.” They both smiled. “If you need me, I will be in my room.” “Very well.” Celestia left the co ruler of Equestria in the room alone. It was Lunas turn to gaze up at the Sun, though she was obviously a night pony, she really did enjoy the day, even if she did sleep right through it. But nevertheless she couldn’t deny that the world seemed so pretty during the day, in one way though. I mean seeing all the explosions of colours is awe inspiring, but so is the land during the night, when the silver light blankets the land in a soft swipe and all the lakes reflect the beauty of the moon, such was the beauty of the night. And just the thought of Discord on the loose seemed to shatter this peaceful trance. “I will not hold back this time Discord.” Luna growled. “I won’t let my sister fight alone.” *_*_* I woke up to the feeling of something warm, nuzzling against me. It was like being wrapped in tons of thick blankets during a below zero night. “Uhh what...what happened?” I yawned. Was I awake, am I back to reality? “EEP! It’s waking up? Oh my such big teeth for such a young one.” A squeaky feminine voice said, both in a terrified yet curious sound. “Well I’ll be,” a southerner accented voice joined in. “Th'eng makes Winona look like ah hamster.” “How fascinating! I wish to undergo it with some experiments” A third, geeky voice chimed rather excitingly, I wasn't feeling so honored. “It’s soooo cute, it’s like a ball of all the sweetest things in the world merged into a puppy form, I wonder if it likes sweets?! I mean it's the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen so that mean it must like sweets. And if it does, we will be best friends and Gummy would love him and we will have parties every day!” Another voice babbled, nearly forcing my brain to seep out my ears. And by the way, one does not call a full grown man sweet, it just doesn’t sound...manly. A posh, and very mature ladylike voice came to my ears rescue. “My dear, you really should calm down. You will frighten the poor cub.” Cub? Oh god no! Please don’t tell me I'm not awake. I felt sharp a poke against my head, causing me to flinch. “Rainbow Dash! Don’t poke it like it’s some type of toy!” Seems like my harasser is called Rainbow Dash, pfft what a ridiculous name. Now that I think of it, the voices all sound rather feminine, so at least it won’t be a unpleasurable dream. “Chill Rares, just checking if it's still alive.” “Why of course it’s alive silly billy. It talked remember? or was it a whimper or maybe it whimpalked.” “A’hm not sure dat word eve’ns exist Pinkie.” “Whatever it is, we can study it later. Princess Luna has sended us carriages, so we must prepare for the trip. Fluttershy can you take it to your house? I would leave it at Applejacks care since she already has a canine as a pet, but I'm not sure Big Mac will want to see it after it crash landed on his back.” Oh come on, I'm not that heavy. Wait. Crash landed? How did I end up in the sky? I was on the jungle floor. And just where am I? And what's with all these dumb ass names, argh ! So many questions! WRY BRAIN?! WRY DO YOU HAVE THESE MESSED UP DREAMS?! “I still can't believe it crashed into the Big Mac and came out unscathed. The poor dear is all in casts in the hospital.” Rares, as I came to know, said with concern. “So will you take it Fluttershy?” “Oh yes!” The squeaky voice, known now as Fluttershy, retorted over eagerly before lowering its voice “I can, that is...if any of you don’t mind.” “Uh hello Shy? You take care of animals, so you're the best choice for this” The voice that I acknowledged as Rainbow Haras-Dash, snorted. “Ok girls, then it’s set. Prep up and be here in half an hour” The leader said. “Yes!” All the others said together. I felt myself get picked up and cradled. I instinctively nuzzled up to the additional warmth, as I felt a cool breeze sway by me. Looks like I was outside, but yet I decided it was best to keep my eyes closed and pretend I was asleep. My ‘fake ‘puppy’ snores triggered a giggle from my transport. “Oh aren’t you just the cutest thing ever.” Fluttershy cooed. I rolled my eyes. Oh not this cute shit again. The journey was short, as we made it to our destination quickly and rather smoothly, how do these people run so fast yet so gently? My dreams must be awesome like that. “Ok. Here we are little one.” There was a sound of a creaky door opening, followed by my nose being smacked by tons of different scents. The smell of aromatic flowers twirled in my head only to dampened by the intense smell of animals. My eyes might be close, but I could still picture what type of area I was in....A Zoo. So they going to cage me? Absolutely brilliant. I was unaware that I was whimpering in Fluttershy arms until she hugged me harder “Oh don’t be afraid, everything will be alright.” She reassured with a motherly tone. I felt myself get dropped into a small bed and I instantly curled up in it. Oh great, now I'm getting canine instincts, I just hope I will wake up from this dream. Fluttershy seemed to go up some stairs, probably to get some clothes for the trip. The noise of clopping came down before her honey liked voice filled the room. “I'll be back soon! Angel will be here to take care of you while I’m away.” Her voice was then directed at someone else “Right, Angel?” The noise of feet tapping furiously against the floor filled my ears. “Yea..sure...whatever.” This Angel guy grunted. I already disliked him, why do I put douchebags in my dreams? But that aside, a dude called Angel? I got to get his autograph. “Ok you two be nice,” was the last thing she said before the noise of the door closing followed. I sensed something coming closer to me, forcing me to shrug in my bed. “Listen dude.” Angel sounded angry. “This is my house and I make the rules. Follow them and we’re good, don’t and I'll turn you into a pudding. And your fake sleeping doesn’t fool me.” All this threatening was emphasized with a carrot poking at my ribs. Canine smell for the win. I really wasn’t in the mood to make enemies, so I just waved my paw like I didn’t care and rolled on my other side, getting a ‘hmph’ from the douche in return. ‘Please wake up, Please wake up’ I thought as this time I forced myself asleep calmly and not by pain. Outside an evil creäture grinned wickedly, as it glared inside the hut. “Let phase one commence!” > Sentient Ponies? Yea right. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Our real discoveries come from chaos, from going to the place that looks wrong and stupid and foolish.” ― Chuck Palahniuk. *_*_* I woke up to the smell of pancakes and honey and proceeded to begin my day. ‘It’s the day, yippee!’ Nothing could ruin this day. I opened my eyes and wished I didn’t. I wasn’t in a hospital or my house, this was a tiny wooden cottage, with flowers pots hanging all over and animals, so many animals, scampering here and there. I looked at the tiny oval bed I was resting in and facepawed my face violently. A dream can’t last this long, this is unrealistic. Maybe, Maybe this is re- ‘No, No, NO!’ My brain instantly denied the possibility that this was real. That I was now stuck in a wolf cub’s body, god knows where. The smell of the delicious pancakes rubbed past my sensitive canine nose again, making my stomach rumble like a motor. ‘Might as well eat something first before freaking out’. I followed the sweet, honeyed scent towards what would ultimately be the kitchen, and blinked at what my eyes were showing me. There standing on a pretty tall stool, in a cubs point a view mind you, was a white bunny, flipping a pancake with a wooden spatula. ‘No way in hell is this real’ I groaned inwardly before howling in laughter. My outburst caught the bunny off guard as he jerked up straight and lost his balance on the stool, causing him to fall off all with the spinning pancake following him down. I turned my head, eyes closed, and flinched as I heard the loud ‘thud’ followed by a squishy splat. I turned my gaze back to the now sandwiched bunny. Its features were glued on the pancake quite comically. I helped get the pancake off him, but instead of a thankful nod or anything, it swiped at me with a furious face and started yelling. “I knew you would be a problem as soon as I saw you!” He poked my fluffy chest with his tiny rabbit paws. “She might think you're innocent, but you're a wolf, not one I’ve ever seen before, but nonetheless you're from a traitorous kind.” He gestured in the way ‘I'm watching you’, before hopping away. He stopped at the doorway and said “Foods in your bowl.” And with that he left, leaving me jaw opened and baffled. 'Did that rabbit...just talk? Yes, it did. And it was cooking wasn’t it? You know what? I’ll just pretend it didn’t before my sanity takes a hike'. I shuffled towards a red colored bowl that was filled to the brim with scrumptious pancakes and I gorged on them with no second thought. The taste was heavenly;The texture of the pancakes was orgasmic; and the smell was honey scented. “Oh jeeez, this terrific!” I exclaimed, mouth full of the succulent pancakes. I’ll give you that, that rabbit can cook. Ahhh it feels so awkward admitting that. After a few seconds, I finished my breakfast and smiled widely, satisfied with the quality of the food. ‘If it's a dream it might not be so bad’. I staggered my way out of the kitchen, stomach bulging, and plopped onto my small and hopefully temporarily bed. My sight was set on the softly swaying trees and lazy drifting clouds outside, until I caught a glimpse of something white, scurrying around. It was the bunny again. He was carrying a small sack of seeds on his back but it was obvious he was struggling, as each step he gave he nearly toppled over. I sighed and thought if I should help him. ‘As ridiculous as it sounds, he did make some good pancakes but I'm sure he hates me.’ I buried my head underneath a pillow as I tried to decide what to do. ‘Help him, he made you breakfast.’ An angelic voice tried to persuade me. ‘He only did it because that Fluttershy women ordered it.’ A demonic voice objected. ‘He needs your help, be helpful.’ ‘He hates your kind remember. Why help the little brat?’ ‘He could've kicked you out by now if he wanted too.’ ‘Pfft, yeah right. He’s too scared to approach you, remember your on the top of the food chain’ ‘Prove to him that wolves can be trustful.’ After my internal debate subsided, I groggily stood up and trotted outside through the back door. The bunny was scattering the seeds across the grounds for the hens to pluck, once he decided it was enough he attempted to pick it up, but he was too tired and was starting to wobble backwards with the whole bag ready to crush him. In a flash, I ran towards his aid and used a paw on his back to help his balance. He sighed in relief when he noticed he wasn’t going to get squashed again, and turned his head towards his helper with a thankful smile. He must have expected someone else because as soon as he saw who it was, his trademark frown returned. He turned away and carried on moving, now holding the bag more firmly. I jogged up beside him. “You..uh need any help?” The rabbit shook his head. “Not from you I don’t.” Ouch! Talk about rude. “Uh...I know we started on the wrong fo-I mean paws but could we ya know? Restart this?” I said trying to sound convincing, hard to achieve when your voice sounds so young. It’s going to take some time to get used to this dream, I mean of all the dreams I could get stuck in, it had to be one where rabbits talk and I'm in a furry body. Why couldn’t it be a Bleach dream or an Adventure time dream? The bunny rolled his eyes, before dropping the bag unceremoniously. “Ok, I admit I was probably too harsh with you, especially since you're a kid-” I felt my eye twitch, I don’t like being called kid. “But it will take some time before I can trust you.” I nodded understandingly. “Ok, that's cool. I'm glad we can be at neutral than negative, Mr..?” Again the white ball of temper rolled his eyes “I guess I have to give you my name.” He extended his paw which I met with mine. “The names Angel.” I felt a pin drop from afar. THIS WAS ANGEL? This is who that Fluttershy women asked to take care of me? Oh this is too much! My mind was freaking out while Angel was gawking at me as he awaited my name in return. “Ahem!” He coughed forcefully, bringing me back to ‘sane’ level. “Sorry, it’s just I thought Angel was a guy.” Angels mouth dropped as fireballs formed in his eyes. ‘Wait I think that came out wrong.’ “Are you implying that I'm a female? Mutt!” He spat venomously before taking out a sharp looking carrot out from nowhere behind his back, how does he do that? I shuddered as I realized I pulled a very wrong nerve. “N-No that's not what I meant!” I stuttered as I tried to defuse the scene before I became dog kebash “I mean I thought you were a..H-Human like your wife.” His angered faced was replaced with pure bedazzlement “What in Celestia’s name is a Hooman? And Wife?” His face flushed red. “Eww, no way dude! Fluttershy isn’t my wife, she’s my caretaker!” I did my kid like chuckle again. “I noticed. I mean a Human with a rabbit as a husband is beyond zoophilia.” “I don’t know why you keep calling Fluttershy a hooman, like you say. She’s a Pegasus.” It was my turn to be confused. “A Pegasus? As in the mythological horse with wings Pegasus?” Ok shit is getting real freaky now, there's no way that Pegasi exist in the real world, I have enough proof to show that this is in fact some dream. “So let me get this straight.” I began in a slow,soft tone “Your caretaker, the girly voice I heard, that picked me up and brought me here is called Fluttershy?” Angel nodded, eyeballing me as if I was mad. “And....she is a Pegasus?” He nodded again “I don’t know what you find so wie-” “WHAHAHAHAHAHAH!” My howls of laughter shook the place, smothering his voice. I rolled on the floor, barely able to breathe. Tears of joy were seeping out my sharp, wolfy eyes. “Oh..Oh god.” I squeaked through my fits of laughter. “Good one there Angel, you got me good.” Angel shook his head irritatingly “I'm not the humorous type. I'm serious mutt! Fluttershy is a Pegasus as is many of the Ponies that live in this town.” My laughter died down just like that. This rabbit can’t be serious. Sentient equines? Mythological pegasus?! Ok this is not Earth, this is for shiz Lala land. I fell onto my rear and passed a paw through my plushy face “So let me get this straight.” I said unconvinced “Im in a town-” “Called Ponyville.” Angel interjected. I groaned at the horrible pun. “Ok, So I’m in Ponyville, where ponies; Four legged, vegetarians, old mode of transport are the sentient beings?” “That's what I’m trying to say, if you would just stop laughing like a drunk earth pony.” Angel rubbed the bridge of his spot like nose. “I assume, you're new around here since you don’t seem to know anything about Ponies. Makes sense wolves generally don’t live in Equestria other than Timberwolves.” Angel began to scrutinize me. “I’ve seen many types of wolves, both in person and books. But you...I’ve never seen a breed like you. Your pretty large for a whelp of your age-” He forced my jaws open by jabbing his paws in the holes on each side of my mandible. “-And your jaws are akin of those of a teenage Timberwolf.” I could see on his face that he was awed by the sight yet terrified. I pulled my face away from his tough grip and laughed nervously. “I really can’t remember how I got here. I somehow woke up in a jungle-" I dared not to mention the REAL world. "- And had a little battle with a 'monster' and the next thing I remember is hearing some girls say how I fell from the sky." Angel tried hard to stifle a laughter. “Oh yes, I was passing by the Sweet Apple Acres, which is where the best apples are made mind you, and I saw how you just plunged through a cloud and gave Big Mac a painful bash.” Angel was barely able to contain his laughter. Who would've imagined this innocent looking rabbit was sadistic, that's another one for the book of ‘least expected stuff’. “So yea, I saw how you cracked Big Macs back, and how you were left unharmed.” The white bunny eyeballed me questioningly. “ I admit, that's one reason why I was mean to you. One does not simply fall from the sky and come out like nothing, your one lucky wolf.” He patted my shoulder.“You ain’t so bad as I thought kid, but I still don’t trust you yet.” “So-” I began, attempting to change this ‘trust’ topic asap. Time to play along with this dream rabbit. “So say that it’s true, that ponies are the sentient of this town. That means they build houses, bake pastry, farm etc. Correct?” “You don’t see us living on the fields do ya?” Angel replied sarcastically. I gazed at the little cottage, he was right. “Of course, so do you think you can tell me where the closest Human settlement is.” Angel blinked. “There you go with this Hooman thingie again. What are you blabbing about?” “What do you mean what I’m blabbing about?!” I shot back angrily now. “H-U-M-A-N-S, Bipedal beings, Sentient, They don’t have fur and instead of hooves and paws-.” I rose my paw to indicate. “They have hands; Multifingered extremities at the end of their arms, similar to chimpanzees.” I huffed at the end. I was seriously getting tired of this. I just wanted to wake up. Angels face was scrunched up. “Im sorry, I have no idea what you're talking about.” “Arrrhg, I give up!” I let my head drop in defeat. All this was too much, it felt so real yet it couldn’t be. “I don’t want to be here anymore, I just want to wake up.” “This aint no dream dude.” He poked me in the side with his carrot. “I don’t know what's going on in that little wolf head of yours, but I assure you this ain't no dream” I lifted my head and was met with a sympathetic face from what I thought was the grumpiest rabbit ever. “I kinda understand how you feel.” I was shocked. ‘How does he know how I feel? He isn’t even real.’ “I too was ripped away from my family when I was young.” Angels voice lowered and got really cold, the tension in the air was thick enough to cut. “Wolves! They attacked my family while we were migrating-” His voice began to slightly quaver “My m-m-mother told me to run as fast as possible while she and my b-brothers stayed back to distract.” His voice was getting harder to hear as he started to crack. “I ran and I ran till I blacked out in exhaustion, I thought I was going to die out there in the forest alone” He pointed to a sinister looking forest. Just the sight of it made my fur stand up straight. “That was until Fluttershy rescued me from its dark grip and took me here, my new home.” I nodded as I started to understand why he doesn’t trust me “So that’s why I'm always grumpy and I loathe wolves. I want to give you a chance, but it's hard for me to do.” I rose a paw agreeably. “I understand, I too would do the same if I was in your shoes, ughhh paws, you get what I mean.” Angel smiled. “Thank you for understanding.” His expression changed in a flick to one of aggressiveness “But don’t you dare tell anyone about that. I have no idea why I told you the biggest secret of my life but you better keep your jaws shut.” I nodded then gestured zipping my mouth. “Well lets do something, its a long day ahead. I know you're still doubtful about Ponies being the masters around here, but you’ll see once Fluttershy returns from her stupid royalty duties.” The rest of the day passed rather decently. I helped Angel feed the animals that Fluttershy kept in her cottage. I for one don’t know how she can bare the smell and clean all their wastes everyday, but hey who am I to judge? I'm quite impressed how my brain could create such a complex world, I didn’t know my imagination was that wild. Angel proceeded to explain to me about the variety of ponies here. Looks like Earth ponies were just like the real horses, tough as bricks. Pegasis have the ability to manipulate the weather and push clouds, I scoffed at first but then accepted it as the truth just for the hell. And last and most difficult to believe, Unicorns. Yes those horned horses. Supposedly they have the ability to use magic and such, manure if you ask me. After the explanation we had lunch, Angel had a carrot stew and I opted for a berry sandwich. I said it once I'll say it again, that rabbit can cook. Of course I really wanted meat, both my human and canine instincts craved for it, but I had to let it slide. During the moments of dusk, we both went out for a walk by the famous Sweet Apple Acres. It reminded me of my uncles farm, that I would go to every summer to help him out then bathe in the river nearby. It was the best way to beat the heat. ‘Soon, I'll be home.’ I sighed in between happiness and sadness. Though we’ve only known each other for a day, I could dare say Angel has become a friend. I mean we have many things in common other than the sadisitic part. We both liked pulling pranks and wrestling. We also liked sword fighting, for heck we even had a little fencing duel with two carrots,.. he kicked my furry ass. Just listen to me, getting mushy of saying goodbye to an imaginary friend. This colorful utopia isn't the place for me. I belong where crime rate is high and you have to work your b$lls off to get a job position, this perfect world is too good to be true. After a good hour of sauntering we raced back to the cottage, I obviously won in that department. For a Whelp, I sure was agile. The rest of the night was peaceful. Dinner was basically light, crackers and cheese, no meat again sadly. After that Angel went on with his routine to check on the other sleeping animals. I took the moment to find a comfortable patch of grass and laid on my back to contemplate the starry night. It was breathtaking, the sky was more white than navy blue. So many stars glittering all across the cool sky, it was hard to believe my brain could achieve this. I was so mesmerized by the glorious sight, I didn't realize the white ball of grumpiness lie down a few steps away to do the same thing. “No matter how many times I see it, It never ceases to amaze me.” He said in a delighted tone. I turned my head to him. “Yea, this place is beautiful. I give you that.” “You know? I haven’t caught your name yet.” I gulped. My name? Aww great... “I can’t remember.” I lied. Angel got up and looked at me quizzically. “You forgot your name?” I nodded sheepishly. “Well at least the fall did something to you.” We both chuckled. “Meh, you’ll remember soon.” “Yea I guess I will.” My voice trailed off at the end as a frown plastered my wolfie lips or I assumed it was a frown. ‘I'll remember when I wake up.’ Two days in this dream world, and I was already going to miss it, sometimes it makes you wonder how precious life is. But I’m still baffled as how I ended up here from a jungle. I would understand if someone or somepony as Angel told me to say, found me but tumbling through the sky? Angel noticed my frown and threw a carrot at my head, seriously where does he get all of them from? “You're still thinking of your pack?” I nodded “More or less. But mostly I’m still trying to find a reason to how I ended up in the sky.” “I think I can answer that for you boy.” A mocking, cheerful voice replied. My ears twitched towards the sound and in a jiff, Angel and I sprang to our feet in a defensive stance. Somepony was here and it didn’t sound like Fluttershy. “Who goes there!” I shouted into the night as I began to growl, It came out so natural. I could hear the sound of grass shuffling and the wind rattling the chicken coop. “Now, now. No need for such aggressiveness, after all I brought you here.” The unknown sinister voice continued to talk. “Show yourself!” Angel boomed while he gripped his carrot like if his life depended on in it. “Very well, since you insist. But my you sure are grumpy beings. At least the Elements of Harmony are more friendly.” The voice pretended to sound crestfallen. I lowered my head and growled louder as a bipedal hooded figure came into light. It was the same dude I bumped into during that rainy day. “Y-you” I stuttered. My brain couldn’t comprehend what was happening. My animal instincts wanted me to lunge at the foe and rip it to shreds, but my stronger human instincts wanted me to run. “I-I remember you, from the street. Who-who are you?” The hooded man threw his head back and shrieked in laughter, before pulling his hood down. What came out was going to haunt me to my grave, it wasn't a human head..it was like a combination of a horse, a dear and a dragon. “You can call me Discord, Human or should that be Fenrir?” His grin reached both side of his face, which was anatomically impossible. “Anyways enough chit chat, it’s time you took your role as my chaotic lieutenant.” ______________ In need of an proof reader, if you're interested please don't hesitate to message me. > The beginning of something chaotic. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “What do you mean by chaotic lieutenant?” I spat hatefully at the so called Discord. The random merge of animals chuckled as he slowly levitated off the ground and lied in the air, arms behind his equine like head, all while materializing a glass of chocolate milk, what?. “Just as you heard silly boy.” His voice had a trail of malice yet delight. He took a sip from his glass, only that he actually drank the glass and threw the milk away. A random explosion blew in that same direction as he gave a content smile. It was like he was enjoying this as if this was his hobby. Again I was aggravated by the fact that my brain seemed to enjoy placing douchebags in my dreams. “You’ll be my second in command as we spread chaos all over Equestria, No! The world! Yes, that's much more fun.” My growl rumbled again triggering a devilish giggle from the floating being. “I don’t know who you are, but you're just a figment in my dream.” I looked at Angel, who was looking back, shocked with what I just said. Discord on the other hand was ready to burst out laughing. “None of you are real. I'm going to shut my eyes real tight and when I open them I better be back on Earth.” With that said I clamped my eyes shut with all my strength, and tensed all my muscles . ‘Wake UP, WAKE UP, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL SANE AND NORMAL WAKE THE FUCK UP’. I mentally admonished myself. ‘I need to return to reality;Graduation, Farther, House, Queen sized bed, UK, Earth, Tacos, Shepherd's Pie, HUMANS!’ “Are you finished with your childish game?” Discords impish voice whispered in my head. I slowly opened my eyes and shifted them to the sound. Discord was there grinning his evil grin, frightening, to say the least. “Awooo.” I howled as I jumped away and stumbled backwards. Discord snickered at my response before clicking his claws before vanishing and appearing beside me. “A bit fidgety aren’t we? Fleas?” He mocked. “What do you want!” I steadily got back on all fours, glaring daggers at his ugly face. “Why won’t I wake up” “Jejeje, you think this is a dream don’t you?” Discord's voice was dead serious, drowning any thoughts I had that he was bluffing. “Of co-course this is a dream!” I stuttered, now unsure of myself. “You're a merge of three different animals maybe even more, one which is non existent by the way.” I then looked at Angel. “My friend says that ponies are the sentient creatures of this place, which is impossible, Humans are the only sentient race as far as I know.” I returned my gaze back at the floating abomination. “And you say that I’m a Fenrir? As in the individual wolf god, son of Loki, Fenrir? Thats plain impossible! He’s a myth. The same goes to pegasi and unicorns, they’re all just myths!” Discord gave a deep, disappointed sigh as he flicked his wrist, materializing a holographic screen in the process. But it wasn’t showing anything, just static. “Grrr, damn reception.” Discord somehow slammed the screen like if it was a TV, again I was lost for words, but it had results as an image flickered on screen. What I saw next made multiples lumps form in my throat, and widened my eyes to the point I nearly thought the pop out, Angels eyes were doing no better. It was Earth, but not just any random place, it was a graveyard and there were many people dressed in black. “Whats-what the meaning of this?” I inquired haziliy all while the lumps started to tighten, making breathing a chore. An evil grin plastered the demonic face as he said mockingly. “Why don’t you take a closer look.” The screen started to zoom down into the crowd, multiple familiar faces were recognized at once. My Dad, My best friend, Wilson and other members of my family. A chilly-so chilly sensation wrapped around my spine, as I feared the worst. It didn’t take long to find out. The screen then zoomed at at gravestone, written on it was....Me. In loving memory of a honest, kind and loyal man. Fimfiction reader 1991-2012 R.I.P I shook my head to prevent the sudden wave of nausea. “This...can’t be.” How could this be possible, how could I be dead? I concentrated my gaze on my father's face, he was doing his best to remain strong but it was clearly a losing battle, First he lost mother, now he's lost me. “I-I’m dead?” My voice was croaked as my eyes began to sting. Angel was watching the whole thing with his jaw wider than a mile, no doubt perplexed with what he was seeing. Discord hummed a tune while he floated. Never looking at me he stated sagely “You're here now aren’t you? So I very well think you're alive.” “B-but.” “Think of it as an reincarnation, only that you can remember your past life.” Discord interrupted in an annoyed manner. My stubbornness ticked him off. That explained it, that explained how I couldn’t wake up. Why this felt so real, why knocking myself out with a tree didn’t work, but one question still lingered over my skull. Tears began to create wet track on my cheeks. Was this it? I'm never going to see my friends or family. All that time studying biology was for nothing!? and now I'm forever forced to walk on four legs. “But how did I die?” A evil and satisfied grin plastered the demons face, he knew. I felt rage bubbling inside as I began to talk louder and sharper. “You had something to do with this!” He brought his face so close to mine I was tempted to swipe at his ugly, smirking face. “I won’t tell you everything, I'm not one to make the same mistakes twice.” Discord remembered his battle with Twilight and her friends. “Now let’s get started. CHAOS SEED!” “ Wh-.” My voice died off as one of Discords paws turned into a gray ball. If I didn’t know better it, I would think it was a rip off of Naruto's Rasengan. Oh anime how I miss you. Wait hes not planning on hitting me with that. “St-op!” I tried to dodge to the side, but the demon was far too fast. “Ugghhh!!” I groaned as the gray spherical orb of energy ripped into my chest. The sensation was agonizing, it was like every single organ inside me turned on fire. My lungs were like two drum stick batting against my ribs. “Let him go you monster!” Angel's voice commanded followed by a yelp from the demented monster as Angel pounced on Discord and bit on one of his ears. Discord gave an unimpressed sigh. “You must be Angel, the pet of the element of Kindness. Such of ball of grumpiness, tut tut.” With one sudden jerk of his wrist, Angel literally turned into a rocket and blasted towards some flickering lights on a faraway mountain. I tried to yell, but the Discords attack paralyzed me on the spot, his now blood red eyes were boring into mine. “HAHAHAHA! Accept the chaos young Fenrir, it is a marvelous thing and you have been given the honor to possess the chaos seed.” “F-Fuck you.” I managed to spurt out as my eyes began to dim. Chaos seed, what is he talking about, why was I the one he chose out of billions of humans? Discord pouted his lips “You are no fun.” He then gave a glance at the now sleeping town of Ponyville,and sighed happily. “Aww...such a wonderful and peaceful town, shame you're going to destroy it now.” The dim in my eyes vanished as they opened up widely. “I-I What!?” Discord gave a wry grin. “Don’t worry, you won’t remember a thing.” He then put his face close to my ears and whispered “But when you wake up, you’ll be just like me in the sense you’ll be hated by everypony.” I tried to rip his face off as my anger erupted but I felt the magic, the new magic inside me overpower me, it was like some foreign alien was assuming direct control over me. My eyes closed as my consciousness left, the last thing I heard was the bastard.“When you wake up, search for me at the temple of the fallen Kings. That is, if you want to know the truth about your mother's disappearance.” My mother?! How does he know about her disappearance....she vanished five years ago, what is his part in this...so many questions...so few answers.... *_*_* “No problem Princess, we’ll find that monster and put him in his place!” Rainbows Dash assured while flying lowly in the air, puffing her chest. “I concur, we will bring justice to that ruffian.” Rarity said as she flicked her indigo mane dramatically. The Elements of Harmony and the two Alicorn sisters were in a meeting for the past hours, drawing out possibilities and conclusions on what Discord was planning and were he would most likely strike, which is easier said than done, it's no easy feat trying to predict some being so random. After some pondering they came with the conclusion that PonyVille and Canterlot would be the most likely area, both because of the chamber that hold the Elements and the place where the Bearers live. “Ah still fin it pre’ty unnerving that bad apple has been out dere for so long and yit he ain’t done anything funny.” Applejack removed her hat and wiped a bead of sweat from her forehead. It was a stressful evening and it has taken its toll on all eight of them, even though Twilight and Celestia did most of the talking, Applejack was also paying a lot of attention unlike her other friends. Pinkie Pie was surprisingly quiet while looking at the wall. Fluttershy...was being herself, which meant looking at the owls and bats flying past the windows. Rarity passed time for most of the meeting checking out her mane in a small mirror she bought with herself. Rainbow Dash snored through most all of the meeting. “Then it is decided.” Celestia stood up from her chair. “All of you will take your respective elements home and we will increase the amount of guards in both Ponyville and Canterlot by seventy percent.” “Don’t worry Princess, I will make sure we put Discord back into his prison.” Twilight stood firm as always in front of the princess, like if she was constantly testing her. “I never had my doubts.” Rainbow dash jumped off her seat and stretched. “Well, I'm off to sleep, go to be up early for weather du-.” “AAh!” Luna and Celestia suddenly yelled in affliction. Both of them tumbled to the floor and were quivering tensely, sweat rolling down their foreheads profusely. “Princesses what’s wrong?” Twilight asked, very concerned as she instantly helped her teacher stand up, the other five helped Luna. Celestia gave Luna a very worried look. “Luna. We are not imagining it are we?” “I wish we were, but it is no dream Tia.” She replied distressed. “Princess what in tarnation is going on!?” Applejack butted in impatiently wanting to know what got the Alicorns mane in a jingle. Celestia ignored Applejacks question. “Luna, send the elite guards to Ponyville now!” With no second thought the dark blue Alicorn nodded and dashed out of the meeting room, leaving behind six wide opened ponies and one anxious Alicorn. “P-Princess C-Celestia?” Twilight stammered. “The elite guards... what's going on that requires the elite guards?” The elite guards are basically the best of the best of pony military assault force. “I never thought this day would arrive.” Celestia responded, dread and fear overpowering her words. She gave her subjects a clear and cold gaze. “We have a second Discord and it's in Ponyville as we speak.” *_*_* In a faraway land where it is always dusk. “M-My lord, do you sense it?” A small shaking voice questioned. On a throne made purely of bones sat a demon who spoke in a raspy tone. “It looks like the Chaos seed has found a new host.” The demon gazed out of a close window to contemplate the never ending dusk. The scarlet sky was spread out across the sky like crimson blood smeared smoothly over a large canvas, as the golden sun slowly sank behind the epic landscape. Glimmers of light reflected off the still water, sending slithers of rose coloured shafts of light through the forest below. It was a sight to behold, not one if you're a demon. “What are your orders my lord?” The distant voice inquired. Bringing the demon king back from his reverie. He stood up and extended his arms, palms open. “Go to Equestria, that's where it is and bring me a full report at what we’re going up against.” “At once my lord.” The sound of scurrying followed by a slamming door sounded though the throne room. The demon king sat back on his bone made throne and clicked his claws together. Years, decades, and centuries he has waited for this day, now all he had to do was play the pieces cautiously. There would be complications, but he had prepared for countless scenarios. “Oh Discord, still trying to revive father's spirit I see.” The demon king materialized a cup of strawberry milk. “I’ll make sure whoever you tricked into absorbing so much unstable energy will be granted a painful death and then who knows.” He shrugged his shoulders “I could use that energy and free every beast from Tartarus or control the dragons and go to war with Equestria, the possibilities are endless HAHHAHAHAHAH.” His impish laughter resonated throughout the castle. “Let the games begin.” --------------- Action scene inbound, hold on to yo seat. and Many many thanks to my proofreader TioHoltzman
