Odyssedash has just experienced the birth of her daughter and she has to leave for war in Troy. She fights, kills, gets ponies killed, and wins the war after some trollish idea. After winning, she gets reckless which leads her and crew lost at sea.
Hi! Name's OdysseDash, and what I'm about to tell you is really crazy, yet awesome! So, I recently had a young mare with my wife, PeneleSparkle, details, details... BUT! On that same day, I had to go out to war to fight in Troy! It was a long battle. About... seven years? Something like that. Anyways, I kinda got a bit too reckless, but hay! That's me. So, I declared I won the war myself, when in reality, the gods of us Greek ponies had helped out a little. Athena Bloom helped out in war and when I came with the idea of the Trolljan Horse, EuryloDerpy accidentally dropped something on the soothsayer, which kind of wasn't help of the gods but... Anyways, Athena Bloom and Poseidon Scratch pointed that out. Unfortunately, I was too stupid to disagree. We then got lost at sea and... well, things turned out bad. But, that was the fun part!
"It's a filly!" At those words, my face just lights up.
"A filly..." I repeat as I stare at the beautiful little infant being cradled in my wife's arms. Admittedly, This whole scene is kinda lame. I just go with it because it pays to see PeneleSparkle happy. She and I are tight, you know? I'm glad we met. Anyways, it just makes me so...ecstatic to see the face of our new infant, I just start thinking of this one song one of our friends sang one time. Something about smiling...?
"Everything seems to be fine." Nurse EurycleHeart reports as she looks at a small piece of paper flat on a stone wooden slab, floating in the air as she uses her magic to levitate it in front of her. After examining the paper for a bit, she looks up at me with a smile. "This has been a very interesting event. I've dealt with couples giving birth before but this, I never thought it to be possible. Two mares? That's... That's amazing." She admits. I hear PeneleSparkle chuckle.
"Well, that's what you get when you study. You learn to experiment." She giggles a little bit more before looking at me with a look of pure happiness. "And the only way to make it possible is to have that special some pony right there with you the whole time." Right there, and I'm not kidding, my heart burst. I mean, I've heard her say she loved me before, but this was one of the best ways she said it yet. I just had one thing to do after she said that. I went to kiss her. Yeah, you heard me! I've gone sappy! It's terrible. Yet, I don't mind. Strange, huh? We share a moment together with lips locked. Then the door burst open, causing me to look over with alarm which soon replaced with disappointment as I realized what was about to happen.
"Excuse me, OdysseDash, Ah don't mean ta interrupt your special occasion here but..." I raise a hoof to stop her before trotting over to whisper something in her ear.
"Gather the soldiers. We leave tonight. Tell Pink to set up a party. I'm upset to say we're going to have to..." I gulp as PeneleSparkle asks a question interrupting me.
"Everything okay over there?" I just look back, smiling.
"Yeah. we're just planning a party to celebrate this special day." I lie...somewhat. I then turn back to Achilles Jack who is waiting for me to finish up the order.
"Just get a Pink to set up a party and gather every pony to leave for Troy at around sunset." Achilles Jack nods and heads out while I trot back to my wife.
A couple hours Later...
"All right! We're here!" I take off a blindfold that was covering PeneleSparkle's eyes to reveal the party...and apparently Pink shouting "SURPRISE!" and blasting her "party cannon" in our faces followed by her laughing at...me. Yes, me. I jumped in surprise a little. I guess it was a little bit of a surprise party planned for me then? There is a massive table at the center with many fancy foods assorted in a decorative way. There is so much, I could take it all and not go starving for at least a year. Around the table are balloons. Something I don't understand yet, I mean, what technology is that? What does Pink know about this rubbery material and how to make it fly? What most ponies know is how to put smoke in a really thin saddle bag and let it go for it to fly. What? This is what happens when you live with a total egghead! She rubs off on you after a while. And I love her for it.
"Oh my CeleZues!" PeneleSparkle exclaims as she gives a look of surprise. "Wow, Pink! This party looks amazing!" PeneleSparkle compliments. Pink always throws the best of parties with her...interesting technology. I mean seriously! This party has balloons, she got a massive cake that looks way cooler than most traditional cakes, and all the banners, streamers, everything is just perfect!
"Thanks!" She bounces off, rolling away her party cannon. I decide to celebrate the occasion a bit before the worst part of the day comes. The time where I have to get her sleepy from too much cider. I wish this part had never happened. I walk over to PeneleSparkle after a while with two cups of cider in the grip of my wings. She looked a bit worried though.
"Hey, what's wrong? Is the party not good enough?" She shook her head no as I suspected.
"It's little TelemeScoot. I don't feel right leaving her behind on her birthday back in the nursery while we go on partying." PeneleSparkle confesses as she takes her drink and sips it. Using my free wing, I move it over her back to grab her and bring her closer to me.
"Don't worry. Nurse EurycleHeart is tending to her making sure she is safe. I even have some soldiers posted to ensure extra security." I attempt at reassuring her. She still looks downward in depression.
"It just doesn't feel right." I drink some of my cider before speaking again.
"If you want..." I take another swig of my cider. "We can go check on her ourselves." PeneleSparkle looks at me smiling, then leans her head on my shoulder. At that moment, I feel twenty percent cooler in ten seconds flat. As soon as we exit through a doorway, I flap my wing twice signaling to the soldiers to prepare to leave.
After roaming through the halls of our palace,we come across the nursery where Nurse EurycleHeart is sitting at a wooden desk writing on some paper. To her left is the little infant, sleeping soundly, sucking on her hoof. I gotta admit. It was adorable. Nurse EurycleHeart looks up when she notices we entered the room.
"Hi." she greets in a whisper. "Checking on TelemeScoot?"
"Yeah. I felt out of place over there away from our sweet little daughter." TelemeScoot opens up her mouth to let out a squeaky little yawn. I felt all our hearts melting at that second. "It's so nice to be here rather than there at the party. Don't tell Pink." I chuckle silently,
"Oh don't worry. I think she can sense it." PeneleSparkle chuckles nervously at my joke, when I punch her lightly on the shoulder with my right wing, seeing her relax in realization. We all spend some quiet time together. The only time I do something is when I notice PeneleSparkle's cup is getting emptier. When that happens, I secretly swap my cup with hers having barely drinking from mine and filling up my new cup. Every time her new cup gets emptier, I swap again. Every second of it, I hated, because I knew she wasn't one to drink so much and seeing her grow tired and more playful, it made me ache on the inside knowing she was going to pass out soon. Eventually, she did. Right next to the crib holding TelemeScoot. I started crying, knowing I had to leave. Then I hear her mumble.
"Good luck in Troy..." My eyes fly wide open at those words.
"Wait, what?" I never told her I was going. How could she have possibly known that?!
"I said good luck in Troy." I look to Nurse EurycleHeart who just shrugs.
"How did you...?" PeneleSparkle chuckles.
"You aren't the only prankster around Ithaca." After that, she fell asleep. I couldn't believe it! She played me! Note-to-self; Don't teach PeneleSparkle how to troll others. I couldn't find the strength to be mad at her. After all, it was well thought out. I mean, I didn't even see it coming! After bringing a cushion to lie PeneleSparkle's head on, I join the soldiers who are just about done loading all the supplies onto the boats.
"Alright, which one of you told her?" Every pony points to Pink who just sits there smiling back at me. "Pink, next time, be careful with that party cannon AND your mouth." I flash out my wings and take off into the sky before landing on the front of the lead boat. "ALL HOOVES IN THE BOATS!!!" Every pony piles into their own boats to prepare for departure. "RELEASE THE ROPES!!!" The ponies at the back of each boat untie and release a sturdy rope holding the boats to the docks. "EVERY PONY, FOLLOW ME!!!" The boats take off as we all head to Troy. I take one last look at the land of Ithaca, one last look at the palace, one last look at the mare in the window near the top of the palace, waving farewell to me. "Goodbye, PeneleSparkle." I whisper to myself.
As a final gesture to her, I raise my hoof to meet my forehead, then salute. This is my life. This is my army. That was my wife. I am OdysseDash, and this, is my odd at sea.
It's been a couple of days since we left Ithaca and I have only come up with one thing. Boredom. Despite being on this journey to war, there's been nothing to do! I've been trying to keep myself entertained by flying around, bursting through clouds, moving them around, and causing all out awesomeness in the skies, but it was only temporary before I got tired and had to relax. Most of the time, I'm probably at one of the masts banging my head, waiting to get to Troy so I can bash some heads together. Even Pink cant wait, because she's usually so active and hyper! That's saying something even if she's bored. Well, I guess the army and I will have to endure...wait. Just over the horizon! I can see the outline of Troy! Thank CeleZeus! I thought it would be longer than this. I spread my wings out to catch some wind and take off into the sky. I fly ahead for a bit before turning to face the army.
"Troy is inbound, soldiers! Prepare yourselves, for when we land, we set up base camp!" I order. When I give the news, I see every pony lighten up as they go to gather there belongings to prepare for arrival. I fly back to the lead boat to wait for what seems like forever before we finally land on the sandy beaches I longed for so much. "Alright, soldiers! set up your tents over th..." I'm about to point my hoof to what looks like a dark forest where timberwolves may be inhabited, when I point to a nice open field where we can see everywhere in case an enemy comes uninvited. "There. I want some fire pits built so we can cook some bagels and muffins specifically for EuryloDerpy. You all know how she gets when she doesn't have her muffins." I then see EuryloDerpy spread her wings, jumping up, levitating in the air with her hooves stretched to the sky as she shouts "YES!" She immediately joins the crowd again after having her moment of joy. "Right, well lets get started! We don't have all day!" The army starts to fan out across the field and start setting up there tents. All except Achilles Jack who comes over to ask me a question.
"So, why am ah here again?" She asks me with a serious look.
"Well, you did say you had some business to take care of here when you visited my home land. I offered to let you come into battle with us and you agreed." Achilles Jack just narrows her eyes at me.
"That doesn't sound like what happened at all." She eyes me carefully.
"And all this could very well be just a story so who's talking?" We continue staring at each other for a moment when Achilles Jack breaks the silence.
"Ah'm goin' straight back ta mah tribe when all this is over. There are apples to buck." Achilles Jack gallops off to set up her own tent.
"You know you can return to them anytime because they're just as much in this war as my ponies are, right?" The glare I got was priceless!
"Shut up." She disappears into the sea of soldiers. I'm about to go and set up my tent when I see this gigantic palace of a temporary home not too far from where I am.
"What the..." I go to investigate, finding the one and only pony who would have set up this big flank tent. As soon as I find the entrance to the tent, I immediately figure out who set it up. "Rariclous, are you absolutely sure this is all necessary?" The question gets me a hard stare from the white unicorn.
"But of course, darling! One must simply not leave a bit of their lifestyle behind even if they are going into a long battle to win a war!" She then fits herself in a uniform, decked out with jewels.
"If you say so..." I open my mouth to say more when a pegasus bumps into me.
"Oh. I'm so sorry. I was just trying to look for Pink. She was here a minute ago and I had a question to ask her so..." I hold a hoof up to stop her.
"It's okay, Flutterpoleidus. Just be careful next time." I get up and brush myself off with my wings, getting a small smile from Flutterpoleidus.
"Thanks. I should go now. You know how she gets when waiting for battle." I gulp.
"Eeyup." At those words, I see a crimson stallion off in the distance in the camp , glaring at me. I quickly trot off to set up my own tent. "Note to self: Don't steal the lines of other ponies." After setting up my tent, I go to find EuryloDerpy to see if her blacksmith equipment is set up. I heard she does relatively well with being a blacksmith, but I haven't seen her work myself. "Hey there, EuryloDerpy!" She looks up from the anvil she just set up to give me a broad smile.
"Hello there, OdysseDash! Anything I can do to help?" I can never help but feel a great sense of joy around her. I guess she just has that kind of effect on ponies. Don't tell PeneleSparkle this, but she's kinda cute with her attitude.
"Are you all set up here? Because we're going to need you to sharpen any dull swords to get ready for battle." I inform.
"Yeah, just about done. For some reason, I keep dropping this anvil though. Almost got one our soldiers this time too, but it was completely accidental, I swear!" I just chuckle.
"Don't worry. I believe you. Just finish up and start sharpening swords." I order.
"Kay!" Derpy gets back to adjusting the anvil while I go to get myself ready. I have a feeling this is going to be one long and awesome battle! I stop immediately to ask her another question.
"Hey, do you have any extra anvils?" EuryloDerpy gives me a funny look.
"Umm...yeah. Why?" I smirk at the thought of my idea.
"They could be useful." EuryloDerpy shrugs and pulls a muffin out of nowhere and eats it. Seriously, where does she get all those muffins?
"Hey, can I have a muffin?" Yes, I was a little jealous. Don't judge me! Anyways, I head over to enjoy a few muffins after EuryloDerpy nods and pulls out a whole barrel full of muffins. "Wow. I can see why you love these so much."
2 hours later
"Soldiers! Prepare for imminent battle against Troy!" I order my men. I return to my tent to eat an apple and equip myself for battle as well, but when I turn around, I find myself face-to-face with a rather young goddess. I think...
"OdysseDash." I smile at the filly of a goddess.
"Well if it isn't Athena Bloom! How's it going at Olympus?" The small deity perks up a great deal.
"Amazin! I love hangin out with the others. Anyways, Ah'm here to tell you to watch yerself out there. Kay?" She confuses me sometimes.
'What the hay are you talking about?" She walks over to the set of spears I have bundled up by my sleeping bag, still keeping her eyes on me.
"Ah'm talkin' about how you can be reckless. Don't get ahead of yerself if you wanna win this war." Athena Bloom warns.
"Umm... yeah, we have thousands of ponies helping out in this war." Athena turns her full attention to me.
"And they have walls as big as two barns stacked on top of each other! They have the best military defense in all of Equestria! You must fight this battle with bravery and courage." I just roll my eyes.
"You don't think I have all that?" Athena Bloom just shrugs.
"I dunno. I just told you what CeleZeus told HermSnips to tell me to tell you." Ehh...What? "Anyways, good luck in battle!" With that, she disappears.
"Well... That was interesting." Just as I'm about to get back to war preparations, she comes back to me.
"Uhh, can you tell me why yer havin' anvils mass produced and shipped over here?" I chuckle and turn to her.
"Okay, I had this idea."
10 years later
Well I was right! This marks the tenth year of battle and it was awesome! the rush of adrenaline, the excitement of battle, I felt so alive! Unfortunately, we have lost thousands of ponies in battle. Many to Troy's toughest soldier, Vector. Or at least that's what I think he's called... Never mind. Anyways, we've been fighting for a long time with no way to tell who's side the gods were on.
"Fight on, soldiers! This is our year!" I dodge an enemy attacking me by using my sword to block before pushing forward knocking the pony off balance, using my wings to help me out because this pony was husky! I then slay the enemy soldier, only to look back in surprise as I see a pegasus flying at me, screaming, about to kill me when my favorite part happens. An anvil smashes down onto the pony's head. I look up to see EuryloDerpy smiling overhead. "Thanks!"
"Any time!" She flies off to get another anvil, when every pony stops to hear a pony miraculously shouting over every ponies battle cries and screaming.
"Achilles Jack!" I look to see her attention turn towards Sector... wait, I just changed his name again, didn't I? Dang it. "I challenge you! I hear you're the toughest and most invincible pony in all of Greece! Fight me and I shall prove the lunacy of those words I have heard!" Achilles Jack stabs a pony in the gut and steals his sword.
"Ya have a lot a guts thinkin' you can beat me." Hector (For once I got it right!) advances towards Achilles Jack as the battle starts up again, only to be stopped by a sword flying towards him, digging itself into the ground right in front of him. Achilles Jack... Hold on. I draw my sword out and slice a pony in the chest, letting her drop dead. So, anyways, Achilles Jack and... umm... Lector are just inches away now, Pector still staring at the sword. At the last second, Nector Just notices Achilles Jack right in front of him with her hind hooves in the air. Achilles Jack bucks the hilt of the sword in the ground to deliver a nasty blow to Dector's forehead and causing the sword to fly up into the air, spinning out of control. Fector is collapsed onto the ground on his back and when he opens his eyes, he sees the sword falling. Too late to react... Dang it, another enemy! I slice the ponies neck turning back to see the sword fallen, hilt facing straight up as the blade stands tall in the fallen warrior's chest. Wow. I wish I wasn't INTERRUPTED BY SO MANY ENEMIES so that I would have seen all of the awesomeness that just happened.
A lot of ponies, including myself, start cheering for Achilles Jack when we see her receive an arrow to the knee. We all gasp as she falls to the ground. Seems like some pony has a thing for repetitive memes. That's when all Tartaurus breaks loose. All Greek soldiers put their A-game on, forcing all the Trojans back into the safety of their gigantic walls.
Soon, all the Greeks are back at the base camp, grieving for our biggest loss in the war yet.
"Achilles Jack, was the greatest warrior ever seen on the battle field." Every pony keeps silent as the new leader of the Maremidons grieves. "She was the strongest of mares and it was weird how she smelled of..." Then a voice cuts in interrupting the funeral.
"What the hay is goin' on here?!" We all look to the wooden casket in surprise as we hear Achilles Jack's voice. We then see her head poke out of it, looking around in confusion. "And why am I in a casket?" Every pony gasps except me. A little too late, every pony!
"I...We thought you were dead!" Achilles Jack looks at the now former new leader with a raised eyebrow.
"Seriously? You couldn't have checked to see if ah still had a pulse goin' on?" Only silence answers her. "Well, y'all should get back to prepare for the next battle. Every pony, go back to your lives. There's nothing to see here. And there is definitely no pony about to say what ah smelled like." She glares at the former new leader who backs off, smiling sheepishly before galloping away to his tent in fear. "OdysseDash, a word please?" I head on over as Achilles Jack gets out of the casket.
"Good thing you're alive! It would have been totally uncool if that arrow actually killed you." She just laughs.
"It simply does not take just one arrow to defeat Achilles Jack." Well. I guess an arrow in the knee doesn't disable a pony. "Anyways, we're going ta have to come up with a way ta get inside those walls. For all the Trojans know, Ah'm still dead. We ain't gettin anywhere into those walls using an iron hoof." We both start pondering for a while, when I see the boats and get an idea.
"You up for a little trickery?" Achilles Jack gives me a curious look. "Lets go smash some boats. Or... at least remove a lot of nails." Just then Pink pops up right in front of me shouting "WOOHOO!!!" As she stands on her hind hooves with a crazed look holding a battle axe in her forehooves.
"PINK! WAIT!"
1 week later
This is gonna be awesome! We've finally finished building this gigantic wooden horse by dismantling a few boats. Most of the soldiers are currently piled into it, along with myself. The only lame part about it is, IT'S SO CRAMPED IN HERE! Hasn't any pony ever known I'm claustrophobic? Well, I guess I should blame myself because this was my idea... So, Achilles Jack is currently pulling us to Troy while we're inside the work of art. Well, at least everything but the face is a work of art. The face looks kinda messed up. And by that, I mean it looks like CeleZues when she's in a trollish mood, about to troll some pony. You know, as we all get nearer and nearer to Troy, I start to wonder to myself, why the buck did I make Achilles Jack pull the Trolljan horse when they believe her to be dead? Hopefully this'll turn out better than I think it will. Out lives depend on it.
The tension rises as we come to a stop. I decide to peek through a small crack in the front of the horse to see what is going on. Achilles Jack starts to knock on the big walls of Troy.
"Who's there?" a pony replies from the other side.
"Achilles Jack." She starts shuffling her hooves in impatience.
"Achilles Jack who?" I can see her stop her shuffling, starting to glare at the inconspicuous pony behind the doors.
"This ain't no joke." She replies irritably.
"I don't get it." I can hear some ponies in here snickering along with me.
"Consarnit! Just open the doors! Ah'm a guest!" I turn my full attention to the doors which fly right open to reveal... balloons and... a bunch of party necessities. Okay, where is Pink? wait, she's right here next to me and Rariclous. What the hay is going on? Every pony is smiling. "Hey, y'all!" Just then, the doors shut immediately to open a minute later to show every pony behind the doors, pointing spears at Achilles Jack with looks of war on their faces. Then they all look up to observe the Trolljan horse. "What? Never seen a peace offerin before?" The Trojans share looks of confusion, when a pony departs the sea of Trojan warriors.
"Achilles Jack! I thought we killed you in the last battle! Where are your Greek friends?" King Pryon, I believe his name is, looks around eagerly to find where we might be hiding. He has no idea!
"Nnope. They're uhh... gone, ya see? They um... left." Oh crud. Now I'm really starting to question myself.
"Really now?" Wow. He's seriously stupid enough to buy into Achilles Jack's lies?
"Be warned!" And, there's the start of our biggest problem. The soothsayer. "This pony lies!" Crud.
"How can you be so sure?" Wow. He really is stupid enough.
"Well, for the most part, she is struggling to find the words to say, and second, I have godly insight. It was revealed that a pony just like her would come with a wooden horse like this with what looks like... a troll face... and then she'd try to..." The soothsayer is silenced as I witness an anvil falling onto her from above. Wait... that means... Crap, EuryloDerpy! Peeking through another crack at the top of the structure, I see EuryloDerpy quickly hide behind a cloud where one of her secret anvil stashes are.
"You see? It's a sign from, uhh...HephaestusBell!" Oh god, Achilles Jack. Last time I remember, HaphaestusBell was thrown off of Olympus for being too white. I still think they were being a bit racist about that. I only get more nervous as King Pryon gives a hard stare at the Trolljan Horse. We all start getting worried as every second goes by.;
"I'll take it!" The King Pryon declares with a smile ten miles wide. Everyone in Troy starts cheering, Achilles Jack sighing in relief. Soon enough we're wheeled into the walls of Troy. Now for the most boring part of the plan. Waiting. Ughh.
I am so bored!!! I mean look at the Trojans! They've been partying all night! When the hay are they going to to bed?! I have nothing to do all cooped up in this big flank and cramped horse while they're down there making us all jealous of their cakes and fancy foods and whatever else they're eating down...
"OdysseDash, pardon me, but I think they have gone inside for the night." I give a hopeful look to Rariclous before looking out through the small crack to see all the partying has died down and every pony went inside for the night.
"All right, every pony! Through the exit and open the doors!" Every pony starts moving as the Trolljan horse starts emptying out. I'm not too happy with the design of this because the only exit is... the flank. It feels gross just thinking about it. So, as the Horse starts emptying out, I fly out of the thing, trying to get the thought of exiting through the rear end out of my mind. So gross... Well, at least I'm out of there. It was terrible, it smelled like sweat and smelly hoof, and like I said, claustrophobia kicked in. Then I hear Pink's stomach growling. Might be trouble.
"I'm hungry. Oh look! Cake!" I'm about to fly over to her to stop her and get her focused on the mission before she stuffs her face with cake. "Mmm!" She licks her lips before her smile disappears. "Wait a minute..." She tastes the cake a bit more and judging by the look on her face, she just got pissed off. "They stole my recipe..." Oh no. "They stole my recipe!" Hurry up with those gates! "THEY STOLE MY RECIPE!!!" Pink swings out her battle axe with a look of pure rage on her face. Coincidentally, there is a lightning lightning and thunder as soon as she pulls out her weapon. Every pony reacts to her shouting and ready their weapons for imminent battle as the Trojans pile out of there homes, battle ready with surprised looks on their faces as they are greeted by a pink pony swinging a huge battle axe epically owning a lot of their ponies and a swarm of Greek soldiers. Soon enough, due to the surprise attack, Troy surrenders and the war is won. Unfortunately, Achilles actually does die. It was a simple mistake made by EuryloDerpy. Go figure. Also, during that last battle, I found out the gods were on the Greek's side, but I was too engaged in battle to notice an arrow flying to my head only to be blocked by Athena Bloom. Can't believe I didn't see her. I really wanted to say hi.
So, it is after the battle that we start to prepare for our departure from Troy and I go to confront EuryloDerpy.
"Hai there!" She waves to me with the same derp-eyed look with her smile disappearing as soon as she sees I'm unamused.
"Euryloderpy, what was that? You dropped an anvil on Achilles Jack, ultimately killing her for real this time! What the hay?!" EuryloDerpy shrinks back.
"I just don't know what went wrong." Her usual response when she makes a derp.
"You son of a seapony! You killed the greatest warrior in all of Greece and this is all you have to say?!" She flattens herself down to the ground with her hooves covering her face.
"I...I..." then, I regret this, but she hits me with disappointment. Towards myself. Why does she have to be so innocent?!
"You..." I can't find the right words. what the hay is wrong with me?! "I'm sorry. just be really careful next time. Sorry to say, but you will be serving time in the dungeon for a year." I decide. She slowly gets back up before wiping a tear off her face.
"O...Okay." She pulls out a muffin in apology. I stare at it for a few seconds before looking back to EuryloDerpy who is still offering it to me.
"Fine." I take the muffin and start eating it. I need to learn how to make one of these! "Apology accepted." I notice EuryloDerpy's face brighten up a great deal before I make another response. "You're still doing time though."
"Okay." She heads off to start packing for the trip back home before Granny Agamemnon, as Achilles Jack used to call her, trots up to me.
"OdysseDash. It has been great to have you in battle. Considering you tried to fool us by sewing salt into the farm fields at your home instead of seeds." Well, this wasn't what I expected.
"Heheh, umm... yeah, about that..." She stops me.
"Save it. I completely understand that you wouldn't want to leave the safety of your home where your... umm... wife and kid live. How the hay does that even work anyways?" I just chuckle.
"Long story. PeneleSparkle is a unicorn, remember?" Granny Agamemnon nods in acknowledgement. "Well, it's been a pleasure to be in battle with you. safe travels under CeleZues' skies and above Poseidon Scratch's waters. Speaking of which, I need to do something quickly. Catch ya later!" I spread out my wings and fly to a secluded area Where my wings are still spread out as I declare to the heavens our victory. You know, she acts a lot younger than she really is. I don't get that.
"Gods of Olympus! Hear me! I am OdysseDash! She who made The Trolljan Horse and brought down Troy! I, a mare, have done this all on my own! How about that, suckers?!" I fall to the ground in surprise as I hear wubs coming deep from within the ocean. Then I hear the voice of Poseidon Scratch.
"Aww yeah! How about those beats?" I get up smiling.
"What's up, Poseidon, Scratch? That a new beat?" I see Poseidon Scratch's face forming in the waves of the ocean.
"Hay yeah! Pretty sweet, right?"
"Definitely! Hey, did you see my awesomeness back there?" I can see Poseidon Scratch nodding her head in the reflection of the waves.
"Yeah, you were pretty cool! However, I heard your gloating and I'd like to say that you kinda didn't do it on your own. Didn't you see that arrow being stopped in midair?" I obviously didn't so, my answer is obvious.
"There was no arrow! Where the hay would you get that idea from?" Poseidon Scratch's smile vanishes and the wubs suddenly start to get quieter.
"OdysseDash, you do not believe. She was there, yet you did not see."
"I did not see because she was not there." Downfall in three...two...one...
"Okay, why would you not believe a god? I witnessed it! as did all of Olympus. If you will not believe, you will learn." Poseidon Scratch starts playing a creepy techno beat.
"Learn what?" I start feeling only a little fear as Poseidon Scratch's voice starts to boom louder.
"That without the gods, pony kind is screwed." With that, the music ends in an upbeat tempo that stops suddenly, then Poseidon Scratch disappears.
"That...was...AWESOME!"
So then I decide to head back to the boats where most of the fleet has already departed except for the ponies from my land.
"Oh hi! I was wondering where you went!" Oh no. Pink is going into another personal debate. I can tell. "You know, I was thinking. I saw their assortment of foods and I got an idea when I saw their cherries and bread. Maybe I could come up with something like a Chimmy Cherry! OOH! Maybe I could call it a Cherry Chonga! I dunno. What do you think? Chimmy Cherry or Cherry Chonga? Chimmy Cherry or Cherry Chonga? Chimmy Cherry or Cherry Chonga? Chimmy Cherry or Cherry Chonga...?" She just continues on and on until I stop her.
"Pink, please! We gotta head home now." With that, all of my soldiers pile up onto the ships.
"I feel like my great great great great great great granddaughter might have the same debate with herself." And I hope my great great great great great great granddaughter will not have to put up with it. Hopefully It'll be Rariclous's kin that has to deal with it. I don't know why it's just... I don't know. So, anyways, we all gather all our belongings, including EuryloDerpy who ties a cloud with her anvil stash to the mast of the ship before joining us, accidentally crashing onto the boat. Everyone chuckles at the derp.
"Careful not to sink it again." I humor. We take off to the sea and after a while, we realize we aren't headed in the right direction. This is where the real oddities begin!
Warning! Those who love Trixie will be upset!Notice the red if you have Dash setting for color option
Chapter 2:
The Great and Powerful Trixie-clops!
So we've been sailing for a couple hours now and It's getting quite dark. We decide to set up a fire in the metal fire pit at the center of our boat. Every pony is chatting and having a good time drinking some cider supplied by the Maremadins. I'm listening in on the conversations having nothing better to do myself.
"You have fought well, OdysseDash." I look to my left to see Athena Bloom sitting right next to me.
"What's up?" I greet with a smile.
"What's up is how you didn't recognize mah help in the middle uh battle." She gives me a stern look while I wonder Are we seriously going over this again?
"Why yes. Yes we are!" Oh snap! Apparently gods can read minds. "No duh, OdysseDash. Just be careful what you think, alright?" I nod yes. "Right, so we were talkin' bout the battle."
"Well, I didn't notice the arrow coming at me. Do I still believe it? no." Athena Bloom glares at me.
"Yer walkin in an Everfree forest full a timberwolves right now, OdysseDash. Be warned that this behavior will get you into huge trouble, miss." I just laugh.
"And you sound too sagely for a young goddess!"
"And another thing! Stop drinking so much cider! It's gettin you all crazy and reckless!" With that, Athena Bloom leaves, and I postpone all my happy feelings as I flashback.
"Hey... What's OdysseDash doing?" Every pony starts staring at me as I stare off into space when Pink points it out. "And why does everything seem all wavy around her? Oh! Is she an alicorn in disguise? Where's her horn? Do you think..."
"No, Pink. She's just having a flashback. I recognize that kind of eye trickery anywhere. Happens to me a lot too..." Rariclous goes into a flashback of a time she went into a flashback.
"I would expect that from her considering she's an actual unicorn, but from OdysseDash it's just weird, y'know?" Flutterpoleidus shrugs.
"I don't know." She starts with her voice quiet as ever. "It is entertaining though. Right, Angel?" Flutterpoleidus turns to a small bunny beside her who just shrugs. Soon enough, I come out of my awesome flashback.
"So, what did I miss while... Is Rariclous having a flashback?" Pink and Flutterpoleidus shake their heads yes, Pink more rapidly. "What of?"
"Of the time she had a flashback!" Pink replies.
"How did you..." Pink stares into Rariclous's eyes.
"Her eyes tell the story! You can watch it like a movie!"
"What's a movie?" Just then, Rariclous leaves her flashback, only to shriek and fall off the boat when she sees Pink right in her face. Every pony burst out laughing.
"My mane!" She gets back onto the boat. "My beautiful mane! This'll take forever to dry and shampoo and... well... everything else!" Our laughter dies down as Rariclous uses her magic to levitate a brush she stashed onto the ship to brush her mane. "Of all the bad things that could have happened, this is the...worst...possible...thing...EVER!!!"
"Uhh...Rariclous, don't you think that's a bit overly dramatic?" She gives me a glare.
"Well its not my fault I think that a mare must look her best all the time." Wow. Some pony's hyped up about fashion a bit too much. Geez. My eyes are getting heavy. I'm getting sleepy.
"Well, guys, I think I'm gonna hit the hay. It's getting late and we'll need our energy for wherever we're going." I gather my pillow and lay down on it.
"I still think its weird how we haven't seen the fleet, right? I mean, we've been traveling for quite a while now and they're nowhere in sight! Should I climb up to see what I can find?" Pink starts looking around with her hoof above her eyes in an all out search mode.
"Tomorrow. Just get some sleep." I hear the rest gathering their pillows and drifting off to sleep while I close my eyes and let my dream come to me.
The next morning
"LAND HO!" We all wake up to the sound of Pink shouting as she points to an island off in the distance.
"Alright, this is cool. We might be able to find some directions on this island." We all wait until we reach the shores of the island, but I find it a little weird how it seems to be empty. "Pink, Rariclous, go investigate. I expect your return in 3 days or sooner."
"Alright, darling. Just let me finish up my mane first and..." Oh that Rariclous.
"Now." Rariclous puts the brush away.
"Okay! Don't blame me if I don't look presentable to new ponies and they like me a lot less than the ponies at home." She heads off with Pink while Flutterpoleidus, EuryloDerpy and I wait for all eternity for their return. This is going to be so boring! Just like the ride to Troy!
3 days later
Okay, this is getting ridiculous! They should have gotten back by now! I said 3 days or less!
"Flutterpoleidus, EuryloDerpy, watch the ship. I have to go look for the other 2." They nod their heads in acknowledgement as I draw my sword and fly off, only to find them chilling out with a bunch of other ponies, laughing and talking to each other. I land right in front of them leaving a small crater where I land. "What the hay, Pink and Rariclous?! I tell you to come back in three days or less and you stay here chilling out with these random ponies? What is going on?!"
"Umm...I don't remember you telling us anything. In fact, these ponies are actually very nice!" Rariclous looks to one of the ponies who offers me some sort of flower. Looks like a lotus to me. Hmm...Now I feel like a total egghead, I mean seriously? I'm able to identify exotic flowers!
"Thanks." I snatch the flower from the pony's hoof before shoving it down the stallion's throat. "Now bug off and quit trying to steal my friends!" The pony runs off crying. "Come on, Pink and Rariclous. We gotta find our way home" I start trotting back to the ship when I see they're not coming.
"I thought this was our home. I mean its so nice here! The ponies are nice, the land is nice, the creatures are nice, speaking of which, why did you do that to the nice guy? He was just offering some food." I look back starting to go into a rage.
"What did you say about this being home?" I have a feeling they did something to them.
"I said I thought this was home." Okay, that's it. They did something.
"Listen you insab.. insa... you rogue soldiers, we're leaving this island. They did something to you to make you forget that your home is Ithaca." I get right into their faces about it.
"We're not leaving." Rariclous pulls out her sword. "And we will fight you if we have to." I look at Rariclous, starting to laugh.
"Really? You really think you can fight me and win?" No pony answers me. "Who taught you what you know about fighting? Pink, perhaps?"
"Well... Let's see... There was...no...Oh yeah! wait...no. umm..." I start laughing more.
"Me, you foals! I taught you everything you know! Pink, try attacking me."
"Okay!" She pulls out her battleaxe and swings it down at me. Immediately, I draw my sword and hold it in front of me, stopping the axe from hitting my face. I slide the sword down to the axehead where I twist the sword, catching it between the handle and the curved part of the axehead, twisting it hard enough for Pink to let go before I grab the battle axe and swing it at her neck, stopping just before it gains contact.
"Whatever you have to attack me, I can counter. You are my soldiers and if you think putting up a fight will let you stay here, You two are dead wrong." I hear the two of them gulp. "Understood?" They nod yes. "Now lets go back." I give Pink her axe back and head back to the boat. this time, they follow. Never felt so angry towards my soldiers before. They must have really ticked me off back there. Kinda hard to remember what even happened. Anyways, when I get back, I notice Flutterpoleidus blushing while EuryloDerpy is eating a muffin, sitting pretty close to her. Flutterpoleidus's blushing dies down when we come. "So. What have you two been up to?"
"Oh, nothing at all. Just talking while on guard." I give a sly smile.
"Uh-huh. Sure you were." Flutterpoleidus starts blushing again as she backs away nervously. "Hey, it's okay. If you like her that's fine."
"Oh, she's just being friendly, that's all. I see you got Pink and Rariclous back."
"Yeah. It took a bit of convincing but I got them to come back." I give Pink and Rariclous a hard stare as they look down in shame. "Anyways, lets go. No pony here will give us directions now." We set sail once again.
"So, you said that after you ate the lotus, you forgot all about home and just wanted to party? Except Pink who is always in that party mood?"
"Exactly! I have a feeling that lotus has some evil stuff going on about it! I feel like writing a song about this!" Pink gets up as she starts to sing an an insult to all songs. "The lotus was made by an evil enchantress! and when you finally scarf it down it'll put you in trances!"
"Umm...It certainly is...interesting, but that's not what happened. Just a little memory loss. That and the lotus grows naturally." Pink sits down with a smile still on her face.
"It's a work in progress." Hopefully she doesn't actually work on it. "Oh! Look! a sunset!" I look behind to see the sun setting behind the horizon. It makes me feel kind of lonely. I remember this one time I was sitting on a hill, watching the sunset with PeneleSparkle when she was still having TelemeScoot. One of the greatest times I ever had with her. I'm only reminded even more of that time looking over to Flutterpoleidus and EuryloDerpy who are sitting next to each other.
"Well, I'm going to sleep. I need my rest." I pull out my pillow and start to drift to sleep as I lay on it.
"Hey, can I climb up and look around? I wanna see what I can see, Because if I could see farther than the sea, I could see an island or something, you see?" I open my eyes to see Pink staring at me intently.
"Tomorrow. I'm going to sleep."
The next morning
"LAND HO! AGAIN!" I wake up to see Pink at the top of the mast.
"Pink! What are you doing?!" Pink slides down the mast to meet me eye to eye.
"Well you said I could climb up and look around tomorrow so guess what? It's tomorrow and I found land!" She starts bouncing up and down in excitement while I get up immediately to find what she was looking at.
"Quick! Shift the sail to the small island over there!" Rariclous and Flutterpoleidus take the order. "If there is an island, then there must be ponies who can give us direction!"
"Yay! More ponies for me to meet and make new friends with!" I look back to Pink.
"Not quite, Pink. Remember we're in strange waters right now. For all we know, that island could be full of hostile manticores. Pink stops bouncing, but keeps smiling. She never gets a negative feeling, does she? Well, there was the cake rage over in Troy...
"Okie Dokie Lokie!" I turn my attention to the island which seems to have gotten bigger. A lot bigger.
"Okay, maybe it isn't so small." As we get closer and closer, The island gets bigger and bigger.
"Whoa..." We soon near the shore and just staring at the biggest mountain on this island makes me feel small as an ant, if not smaller. "Umm...right. Let's fan out and see what we can find." I look at Pink who has a smile about ten miles wide.
"You know what this calls for!" She opens up a hidden storage box under the floor of the ship containing a party cannon about five times bigger than the original. "A super-duper ultra mega big size party!!!" We all just stare with mouths gaping.
"Where do you keep these things?!" Pink ignores my comment and carries the cannon out like its nothing.
"Come on! The faster we go, the faster we meet new ponies!" Rariclous, Flutterpoleidus and I share looks before Flutterpoleidus makes a comment that makes us all laugh.
"At least she isn't carrying that battle axe." Even Angel is laughing. Something no pony has ever witnessed before! Soon enough, we all fan out across the island searching for a sign of any pony.
"I win!" Pink gallops right to me.
"What did you find?" Pink looks to the top of the mountain.
"A cave with food and pajamas and cheese!" Oh my. Rariclous and Flutterpoleidus gather to figure out what is going on.
"Lead the way!" We all follow Pink who is galloping to the top of the mountain with ease as though she climbed mountains before. Wouldn't be surprised if she did.
"Look!" Pink points her hoof inside the cave to reveal a big empty space with furniture, some shelves holding up a wide assortment of foods, and a wooden trash can.
"Whoa..." Me, Rariclous, and Flutterpoleidus all say it in unison, so I claim jinx.
"You all owe me a cider!" Rariclous just makes a face hoof.
"If you want my opinion, I would say this place needs more decor. and the walls should be a different color. The trash can... I don't know what we can do about that. It's ugly and smells like Tartaurus!" I give a sly smile
"How would you know?" Her gaze shifts over to me.
"I um... well, I might have annoyed Hades too much with my talk about fashion that he threw me out of the Underworld." We all burst out laughing. "So I cheat death! So what? I still think he should do something about all the blood stains from the wounded soldiers." I start hurting with laughter.
"Not... helping..!" Rariclous just shuts up and lets the laughter die down.
"You three done yet?" I get up trying my best not to laugh. I mean seriously! She annoys Hades talking about fashion and interior decor? That has to be one of the most hilarious and best ways to cheat death I have ever heard of!
"Yeah. Yeah I think so." Suddenly, one question pops into my mind. "Hey, where's EuryloDerpy?"
"Hai!" I look to my left to see Derpy with her mouth stuffed with a muffin.
"Never mind then. So, shall we check this place out?" Pink rushes in right away to check out the place. "I guess that's a yes." We all enter the place and make ourselves comfortable. Unfortunately, I have to be a little rude to the cave owner and take a little food. I got hungry, and I don't do well when my stomach growls for too long.
"You know you could have just asked for a muffin." EuryloDerpy made me feel stupid just there!
"Well do you have any?" EuryloDerpy searches her saddle bag to find none.
"No." she hangs her head low with a sigh. I guess I don't feel stupid anymore!
"I hear the sound of hoof steps!" Pink points out. We all listen carefully to hear the sound getting louder and louder. "Yay! The first new pony!" Pink starts bouncing in her excitement up until we can actually feel the vibrations of the hoof steps getting more violent as we see the pony coming into the cave. We all stand there with our mouths gaping wide open to see a gigantic blue unicorn with one eye enter and use her magic to roll a boulder in front of our entrance and only exit. She turns her head to have a look of shock as she sees us.
"Wha... Who are you?! And why do you trespass into here and steal some of my food?!" Holy crud. We're dealing with...
"Oh my gosh! A ponyclops!" Pink exclaims, bouncing up and down with joy.
"How dare you call The Great and Powerful Trixiephemus such a low and degrading title! I should smite you!" Pink suddenly loses her excitement and her smile.
"Hey! Who do you think you are, making her frown like that?!" I have to put my hoof down for her. No pony ever does that to Pink! Trixiephemus just uses her magic to fix up a quick dandelion sandwich for herself.
"I think I'm The Great and Powerful Trixiephemus." She takes another bite out of her sandwich.
"Well get this, oh Great and Powerful Trixiephemus. No pony ever..." She just swats me away like a fly causing me to smash against the wall. I fall to the ground in pain only to look up to see Trixiephemus towering over me.
"You all are like bugs. Annoying, weak, little, it's time for you to go." She lifts a hoof to squish me like an ant when I shout in my panic.
"WAIT! KILL US AND YOU LOSE WHAT WE KNOW!!!" I warn with my hooves covering my face in fear as I wait for her to get it over with. I open my eyes to see her hoof just above me. She then moves her hoof to stand normally.
"The Great and Powerful Trixiephemus demands to know these secrets you know." I get up, relieved of my panic. I never felt so scared in my life! That's a first.
"Okay, first off we did bring gifts. Have you ever tasted cider?" I got this. A plan hatched in my mind almost immediately.
"Cant say that I have." Score!
"Well, Pink, do you have that extra cider?" Pink perks up again as she searches her saddle bag, tossing out a spoon.
"Nope." she tosses out a blanket. "Nope." She then pulls out a rubber chicken? "Nope." Next up is... a cake. a full cake. "Nope." How much stuff does she have in there?! "Yes!" She pulls out a huge barrel full of cider making me wonder even further. How is she able to fit all that in there?!
"Pink, you are SO random! Anyways, pour it in that bowl over there for Trixie, okay?" Pink gallops over to an empty wooden bowl and pours it all in. "Flutterpoleidus, if you could please? Leaf whistle." Flutterpoleidus trots over to the entrance and find a leaf that is too big. She rips it down to size before putting it to her lips and shifting her hooves in different positions on the leaf to cause different notes, potentially making a song out of the whistling leaf. It sounds kind of pretty, actually. Looking back at Trixie, I see her relaxing a little. She seems to be enjoying this little setup. She then uses her magic to hover the bowl of cider over to her and starts to drink it. She seems to relax even more.
"Trixie demands more!" She lowers the bowl to the ground for Pink to fill it up even more. "You! Rainbow one! What is your name?" Crud. Think, OdysseDash! Think! For all she knows, you're no pony! Wait... That's it!
"My name is Noe Punney. No-pun-ay" Huh. Sounded like I had some sort of accent there. Cool!
"Very well, Noe Punney. I shall shpare you all ash long ash you keep shupplying me with theesh *hic* shecrets." Good! She's taking in too much cider! "Whoah. Trixie ish tired. *hic* Trixie will take a nap now. but firsht, you, derped one. What are you able to do?"
"Make muffins! But... I don't have any right now. I need the proper ingredients." EuryloDerpy looks around to see if Trixiephemus has anything she would need. "Doesn't look like you have anything I need to make any muffins either."
"Very well. When I wake up, tell me what I need to get." Trixiephemus soon drifts off into a deep sleep.
"Gather." Every pony huddles as I start explaining my plan. "Okay, guys! Here's what we do."
"Take the role of PeneleSparkle when she comes up with a plan to save our skins only to realize later that she could have just used her magic to move the boulder?" Rariclous breaks away from the group and attempts to use her magic to move the boulder.
"Rariclous, quit trying. this boulder is too big for even you to move." Rariclous gives up and rejoins the group. "Flutterpoleidus, you're going to leaf whistle a relaxing tune, or at least something that'll block out the noise as I use my sword to cut down that olive tree over there." I point my hoof to a small...umm, yet big olive tree. I... I don't even know why its an oxymoron. Another word learned from living with PeneleSparkle! Hay yeah! "We're going to cut it down so we can shave the end of it to make a wooden spike to drive into her eye."
"Umm...sorry to interrupt but, wouldn't that kill her?" Flutterpoleidus does have a good point...
"Not if we do this correctly." I have received an epiphany! Oh yeah! Another word! I'm on a roll! "The spike won't be sharp enough because its just a sword carving it down. That and we're only going for the eye. Not the head." Flutterpoleidus nods in acknowledgement.
"Wait a sec. What about our escape? She certainly will not just open the exit for us to just go." Wow. Even EuryloDerpy is smart! I guess those ponies back at home who called her dumb and retarded were wrong!
"That's just it. Where there's cheese, there is livestock. She must have a few goats or something roaming this land. That means Flutterpoleidus and Rariclous will have to hold on to the livestock. EuryloDerpy, how fast do you fly?" EuryloDerpy spreads out her wings to check.
"Well lets see. I have about 75 feathers per wing, multiply that by two, multiply THAT by two, subtract about..."
"Okay, just ride the animals if you're too slow." Wow. She's surprising. Why did I go with PeneleSparkle again? Again don't tell her I said that!
"Nope. Should be good." Thank goodness she came with an answer!
"Every pony is going to help drive the wooden spike into the eye of the ponyclops once its finished, okay?" Everyone nods their heads yes in acknowledgement. "Lets do this!" Flutterpoleidus pulls out her leaf whistle and starts playing music, drowning out the sound of our swords banging against the olive tree, chipping it piece by piece. Eventually, we finally cause it to fall, only stirring a little sound as Rariclous uses her magic try to to slow it down. We trim off the leaves and start putting a point on the gigantic stick. As soon as we're done shaving the end of the wooden spike, I look over to Flutterpoleidus who looks back and flaps a wing, indicating she is ready.
We move the cumbersome wooden spike into position, holding it directly above Trixiephemus's eye waiting for her to wake up. While I wonder if I'm just overdoing it with these nerd words, I start to get impatient.
"When the hay is she going to open her eye?" Flutterpoleidus flies down to Trixiephemus. "What are you...?"
"Don't worry. I got this." She taps Trixiephemus on the shoulder lightly. Umm... Do you mind if we gouge your eye out for a second?" While I face hoof, Trixiephemus grumbles.
"Wh...wha...? Uh...sure." Realizing what she just said, she whips her eye wide open. Taking advantage of the moment, we drive the wooden spike into her eye, causing Rariclous to complain.
"Blood in my hair! BLOOD IN MY HAIR!!!" She immediately rushes to the door and does something that makes me feel really stupid. She teleports out using her magic. As Trixiephemus rushes over our exit, she uses her magic to move the stone.
HELP!!! She is screaming from the top of her lungs which makes me need to cover my ears. Noe Punney has tricked the Great and Powerful Trixiephemus! Every pony starts rushing out. I am the only one left inside the cave. "You! You tricked me twice! With the wooden spike and the name!"
"Well it is called a magic "trick", right?" She starts going into a rage using her magic to start forming a force field to keep me inside. Unfortunately for her, I'm a wicked fast flyer! I get out before she even gets halfway done with her magic! I was even able to steal a couple of foods as well! We soon make it back to the ship where Pink and Rariclous both collapse onto the the wooden surface, while Flutterpoleidus is in a hard embrace with EuryloDerpy. I can hear EuryloDerpy trying to calm down Flutterpoleidus.
"Don't worry. Trixiephemus is..." We hear the sound of gigantic hoof steps getting louder. "Still here apparently!"
"Every pony, Push off now!" I fly to the side of the boat with EuryloDerpy who helps push the boat as hard as we can to get it out to sea. Rariclous and Pink use the oars on the boat to help push off as well. Soon enough, we are off the shore and into the water when the eye-less Trixiephemus comes to the beach
"YOU WILL DIE!!!" She uses her magic to lift something big. It just happens to be Pink's ultra party cannon. She must have accidentally left it behind. "Just because you have blinded Trixiephemus, does not mean my magic cant help me!" She launches the cannon at us.
"My party cannon!" Pink climbs up onto the mast.
"What the hay are you doing?!" She ignores me as she leaps for the cannon, grabbing it and falling back onto the ship. She lays on the boat for a bit before making a response.
"I got it!" I look over to Trixiephemus.
"You are an evil being, Trixiephemus! Yet you are not the brightest! You go back to the others and tell them, OdysseDash of Ithaca has taken your eye and outsmarted you! Tell them OdysseDash is conqueror of all! Troy, and more!"
"You...You're OdysseDash? No way! How could a small, pathetic weakling like you have possibly tricked The Great and Powerful Trixiephemus?!" What is she going on about? It just happened!
"Another unicorn on this island predicted this day to happen. I... The Great and Apologetic Trixiephemus would like a second chance! Please come back and I will treat you better." I think for a bit before taking in the hatred of her threatening to kill us all.
"If I could, I would take you soul and send it to the depths of Tartaurus where it would rot and suffer for all eternity! You threatened to kill all of us!" I spit at her even though I know she's too big to notice, not to mention blind.
"Then you will pay." Trixiephemus sits down on the sandy beach.
"Oh Great and Powerful Poseidon Scratch! I prey to you telling you to screw this pony over! Make her years to come a living hell and send her to the bottom of your deepest trench to drown!" Oh crud. This isn't going to end well. "If this is not her fate, then long be the day she return to her home in Ithaca! Send OdysseDash through great hardship as she makes her voyage!Poseidon Scratch, hear my plea!" Trixiephemus makes her way back to her home cave while I sit down, hooves covering my face. Every pony is staring at me making me feel worse that I messed up big time.
