> Guardian of Nature > by BronieMan305 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 > --------------------------------------------------------------------------       The name is Charlotte Greenfield, though most people just call me Charlie. I have spent my life protecting Earth and the beaughtiful creatures that inhabit her. I love everything from the smallest ant to the most exotic zebra. Two days ago I finally accomplished my goal and made it a class 1 felony to so much as harm an animal on purpose.       I was in Antartica on an expedition to see penguins, when an avalanche starts. A baby penguin was running away to no prevail. I dived for the poor baby only to be covered in the snow and trapped and freezing.      When I finally accepted death I felt a pull and feel the warm sun on my face. When I look up I stare into the most beautiful face I had ever seen and wander who she is.      "Hello my daughter of Earth," says the strange woman, "Are you alright?" As I look her up and down she is wearing a green dress that seems to serve as a type of camoflage. She constantly blends into the scenery behind her.      "I guess," I told the strange woman, "but where am I, and who are you?" I was in a forest clearing and there were squirrels and rabbits everywhere.      "Why I am the creator of all things of beaughty, the master, the artist, the caring gaurdian," she speaks in a riddle, "I am Mother Nature and your in my place of peace the final resting ground for all animals."      I take this all in, having trouble believing it but know it to be true and feel the power radiating from her. "Why am I here Mistress?" I ask.      "You have proven yourself to be pure of heart and have a proper respect of nature, I must ask of you a favor."      "What might that be ma'am?"      "Out of all the realms I created one was more beautiful than you can begin to imagine, it was a place of nature, of place of peace and equality. Thousands of years ago it was taken over by a power of chaos and evil."      "But what does this have to do with me?"      "Several hundred years ago peace was restored by great sisters of magic, and nature returned to normal with them guiding its actions. But now a new evil is arising, and I cant tell what. I need you to save the planet of complete nature and keep its peace and balance."     At this point I was worried as I had no clue what I was about to get into, but that didn't matter because if there were creatures going to be harmed I had to put a stop to it.      "What must I do my lady?"      "I'll send you down to the planet near someone who can help you, if you lucky you may not have to fight him first. Since you have no way to defend yourself, I will give you the blessing of nature. You will be able to speak to the animal and trees, and control the wind and the earth."      "But that may still not be enough so I give you this magic bow 'eftheai voli' or staight shot in English. Any shot made with this bow will hit it's target.  I give you the magic quiver 'ateleiotos velos' or Never-Ending Arrow that will give you a constant supply of magic razor sharp arrows to shoot, and if combat comes to close I give you 'metatrepsoun prosopiko' transforming staff. It will become any material you need it to be."      "I will do my best, my mistress."      "I know you will which is why you are now my 'kidemonas tou fysi' Guardian of Nature. Now go an wake up."      She pushes me onto the grass below and suddenly I awaken next to a mysteriously deep woods. I am prepared to fight. As I walk along the edge of the woods I spot someone sitting on a hill in the distance.      As I come close I begin to see the look of the man. He seemed around sixteen wore a grey hoodie with blue jeans and had a dagger hanging off his waist. I snuck up from behind when all of a sudden I'm grabbed and shoved to the ground, he covers my mouth with one hand and holds the dagger to my throat with the other. God this guy was fast.       I see his face and his blue eyes when he speaks, "I told you people to leave me the fucking hell alone, and I wasn't kidding."       "Mmmhhhmmmhhm," I mumbled intellegently. He presses the blade into my throat and a small trickle of blood slides down. As I watch his hand absorbs the blood like a sponge.       I turn to his face and see his eyes flash into a color of pure gold, and his teeth become pointed and jagged.      "This is you last warning," he muttered. He let me go and dashed off into the night. Quickly going for my quiver I grab an arrow labeled 'Tracker' and shoot it. I see a small bead release from the arrow and hit the man.     Confused as to what just happened and a little sore I bandaged my throat with some herbal leaves an went on. Heading around the woods I find a path. One way heads North one South.      I start heading North because I can see light in the distance. As I get really close I notice alot of small charming buildings. I turn and see a sign that read 'Ponyville, Equestria' and was immediately confused. Ok super nature-filled world has a town called Ponyville.       I'm going to guess that there is alot of ponies here which would explain the farm I see to the East. When I reach it I realize It's an Appletree and decide to give my new powers a spin.       "Um, hello?" I ask the tree.       "Yes master of nature?" said th tree.      "May I sleep in your branches, and perhaps eat an apple or two?"      "Of course master."      I climbed up and ate an apple.       "Goodnight appletree" and I drifted to sleep, but right before I do I could've swore I saw a ponie on it's hind legs and wearing a stoic, naaaaaah.       > Chapter 2 > --------------------------------------------------------------------------      I woke up to the sound of birds chirping. As I look around I decide I should stay in the shadows until I know if its safe. Hopping from tree to tree I see a barn in the distance. Upon getting close I hear sounds of people. Figures farmers would be up at the crack of dawn.      I launch myself on to the tree closest and hid myself in the leaves. As I watched I could hear speaking from inside the barn.      "Well Mac looks like were ready to start apple-buckin."       "Eeyup," said the voice I assume to be Mac.      What in Earth is applebucking? I watch ready to see the two farmers when out walks...a pony?!?      Im serious to talking ponies with what appears to be tattoos on there hips come out and start kicking the trees, making apples fall off and I could here a squeel of pain. My poor, poor babies.      Figuring I had seen enough I head towards the town from earlier. Most people were still asleep so I managed to sneak straight into a park in the middle of the town and climb a tree.       With a little bit of coaxing the braches entertwined to where no one could see me and no one could climb up. By now the sun had risen and people... no wait ponies were starting to come out of their homes.      The first that I see is a purple mare with a tattoo of stars on her hip. She comes to the park with a stack of books floating in the air surrounded by a light covering the horn on her head.      Soon after I realize shes being followed by a strange lizard creature that walks on two legs and is carrying a scroll and feather quill, like in the Harry Potter movies. Then they began to speak.      "Well Spike it looks like are experiment on the mass excelloration of electrons in the nuerons of a subject caused by compleye discombobulation is complete," said the unicorn.      "I didn't understand a word you just said Twilight," said the lizard. Yeah me and you both.      "Spike you silly little dragon, lets go home."    Wait.... Did she just say dragon? What mess have I gotten myself into. Later on an explosion sounded as a giant crater is created out of nowhere. Nobody seemed even slightly fazed.      "Sorry everypony!" yelled a voice as a blue pony with a rainbow mane climbs out, oh look shes a pegasus, Im not going to even bother being surprised.       "Are...are you alright Rainbow Dash?" said  a worried pegasis with yellow fur and pink hair.      "Yeah Flutters im fine, how're you?"      "Good but I really must be going, there's a poor little bear who broke his arm and I need to care for him, not to mention the beavers whose dam was destroyed in that storm."      I could tell I would like her, she knew the beauty of nature. It was nearly five hours before anymore ponies came close enough for me to here them. Sometime in the afternoon a very fancy looking mare with a diamond tattoo came along apparently scared that shell get dirty wined her entire walk.      After then nothing happened except three kids doing a bunch of random things while yelling 'Cutie Mark Crusaders!' and I was ready to tuck in for a nap till nightfall.       I slept for three hours untill I heard screaming. I woke up to witness a gargantuen lion with wings and a scorpion's tail. It was a damn manticore. It was closing in on those three kids from earlier and I made my move.      Jumping out from my hiding place I charge the manticore from behind quickly pull out my Jō staff and will it to become steel. I bash the beast over the head from behind and it fell to the ground. Jumping to its front I blocked with my staff as it swipes at me.      I grab my bow and launch an arrow into its chest. The blow doesn't even phase the beast. Deciding to kick it up a notch I shoot it with a barage if flaming arrows. Rearing back in pain he begins to fly in hopes of gaining the upper hand. To bad he didn't know he was fighting the wrong girl.      Willing the air around me I shot up far above him. Changing my staff to the densest substance known to man, I hit him with 8,000 billion tons of pure quark-gluon plasma falling at him going 20 miles an hour.      The beast falls down smashing a mile deep crater. I run down to find the creature in one piece and knocked out. Talk about a hard head. I lift up the crator and flatten out the ground. I then form a stone cage around him and send it flying to the middle of the forest.      I check to look that the kids were okay when I realized that about three-hundred ponies were staring at me. "Sup?" Well so much for staying undercover.
