> Macrocosm > by Silverfox117 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Mystery on the blue planet > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the morning the only light was the eerie red light reflecting from my walls. I set it to 6:30, but yet again I have beaten my clock. I don't even know why I go through the trouble of setting the darn thing. I suppose for those mornings that it actually does work, but that hasn't happened in a long time. "Okay, might as well get up right now." I said while pushing my covers down, and then turning my alarm off ten minutes before it was going to go off. Part one of my very boring routine: take a shower. I like taking showers in the morning they help me get a leash of what I am going to do today. This time however, it was different; I didn't like being in the shower. 'everything is going to be okay huh. Only if you weren't lying that day.' I thought to myself. I hurriedly got dressed. I usually don't care what I wear or how my hair is I only care that I am wearing clothes and have hair. After dressing I got a bagel, the biggest bagel in the bag, and left to school. I walk to school now after The Day happened. I feel like there should be no reason for me to be at school anymore. I have no friends, and I am failing all my classes. My teachers say they care for me and they want me to succeed, but I can see through them. All they really want is for me to pass so they could get paid for doing their job. Money is the only thing that anybody cares about. They just pity people. I hate "pity". Pity isn't caring its just, oh hey there is a small hungry child on the street let's feel bad for him so we could make ourselves feel better. I hate it. I HATE IT ALL! I find myself looking at the school clock again. Only ten more minutes to go. If I didn't feel like such a douche all the time then I would be completely ecstatic to leave this god forsaken place. I feel that time goes by much more slowly when I watch it. I am pretty sure that the Universe likes to screw with people like that. Considering that I am not the only person who states this claim. Dingggggggg! That was the bell. That loud obnoxious noise is the blessing of my life. I can not lie when I say I hate school, so I got my things ready and was just about to leave when," Acxel, can I talk to you for a bit." said Mr. Dividson. The first two words that popped up to my head is Fuck Me. I turned around and replied with a smile," Sure." I already knew what he was going to say next. Mr. Dividson was a short stout fellow. He wear glasses that looked like they would be from the nineties and probably was. He was wearing a suit and a striped tie, he always wears ties. He recently had his black hair, cut to a fade and it looks really awful. "Don't you care for your grades. Your future. I understand that you have had a rough time lately, but you have to improve your grade so you can accomplish your dreams. Don't you have dreams. I care about you." I stood there and starting thinking about this for a second. 'Dreams, dreams, do I have any dreams? I came up that I didn't have any dreams or what I was going to do after high school.' I replied," I'm sorry, but you don't know a single thing about me, and your telling me that you care about me. Well that's just a bunch of horse shit, I am just another student to you." After saying this I turned around and started to walk home. I couldn't turn around and see my teachers face not after what I just said. After walking a bit I notice that I'm being followed by a group of individuals in black cloaks. The cloaks had a weird red symbol that sort of resembled a treble clef. They have their long hoods all the way on, so I couldn't really see their faces all that well. The first thing that popped to my head was that who dresses like that, and why are they following me. Its not usual that people dress that way and follow my every step. This is getting really weird. I turned around and asked them nicely," Hey can you guy's stop following me." They stopped and didn't say anything. 'That's smooth tell the people who can be potentially dangerous to stop.' The individual in the middle, however started walking towards me. I started to back up a bit. Okay I can not be to close to them just in case he tries anything funny. 'Maybe their a nice group of people; yeah they can't be dangerous... right. I thought to myself.' The Middle one's hands were covered in scars and he had about five rings for each finger. He then revealed his knife it had a gold handle and in the center of it had a big red ruby on it." Oh Shit!" I yelled. Frantically I turned around again and started to sprint as fast as I can. 'I can't let him get me.' I ran through bushes and people's front yard. However, I can still hear them behind me. I looked for anywhere that I can hide. 'Uh I could jump this guys fence and hide in his backyard. Well there isn't much time for me to debate about it,' so I did it. I heard them run past the fence and kept going as if I was still running. I leaned on the fence trying to catch my breathe." I think I lost them." I said very tiredly. "Lost who." A deep voiced man replied. A hand quickly grabbed my neck and started to choke me. My first reaction was to kick him, but I couldn't move any part of my body. My vision was starting to get hazy. I can only make out that hand was the same hand that I saw earlier, except that its rings are glowing now. 'Goddammit is this it. Am I really going to die here like this.' I thought. My lungs now felt like they were on fire gasping for air. Suddenly, a flash of light appeared, and the next moment I fell in some strange forest. Then darkness. > Ponies? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Uuugh..." I could feel myself waking up. I start to wipe my eyes trying to see correctly. Looking around I am completely surprised. I am not in my room where I belong, but I am in this weird forest. Looking up I see the stars dancing across the sky. They where the most beautiful I have seen them in a long time. The way they illuminated the sky, and provided light for the darkness of the sky. They truly are amazing. "How did I end up here?" I asked looking back down to the forest I am now stuck in. Thoughts started surging through my mind of how did I end up here. I remember talking t- 'Those men in the cloaks, why where they chasing me?' I am completely confused at this point. 'I don't get it. Are they somehow tied to me being here right now. My head hurts thinking about this.' "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?" I screamed to no one in particular. Quickly getting sidetracked, I finally notice that I am in a huge forest. "Well that is wonderful." Looking around I see nothing but trees, shrubbery, and bushes. Getting a closer look I see that their actually really colorful. Its surprising that even in the night they hold so much color to them. Panning the scenery, I notice two large eyes glaring at me from the bushes. Fear and panic filled through my veins, I was about to get up and run, but my curiosity took over.' I wonder if it’s a wolf that I'm looking at right now?' I wondered. My suspicions were correct...well sort of. What came out of the bushes definitely was a wolf, but it was made up of sticks. I am not even kidding you; this horrifying beast that stood before me this very moment was a pile of sticks. This however, did not clench my fears as the beast was still about my height. It had piecing yellow eyes that looked as if it wanted to kill me not just for food but also for fun. Its jaws were bigger than any wolves’ mouth I have ever seen in my life with at least twenty razor sharp daggers on both ends of its monstrous jaws. The beast started to charge at a speed faster than an Olympic runner about the time my nervous system sent the message to my brain that I was going to die if I stood there observing this monster. It was already a couple of inches away from me; when a bright marvelous purple ball of what looked like to be fire ruptured through the beast head severing it completely, and the rest of the body caught on fire. Just staring at the smoldering ash of what used to be the monster that was going to completely mutilate me; I realize that I am still alive and not dead. “Hey there, are you okay?" a female voice called out. "Um, yeah I think so." I replied back "Oh thank Celestia your are okay." she said coming out of the bushes to the right walking towards me. She was a lavender pony about half the size of your average horse. Unlike many horses she had hair like an average human except for the fact that its violet with a pink stripe running through it. She also had a small horn on her head obviously showing that she is a unicorn and not some ordinary horse. "Hello, my name is Twilight Sparkle. What is yours?" She asked cheerfully. With my mouth gaping wide open with disbelief of seeing a unicorn no less a talking one, I could not reply back to her for a couple of seconds. I had to absorb all the information that I was taking in so far. One, I got chased by a group of weirdos that almost killed me, second a wolf made of sticks almost killed me, and for the big finally, I am about to converse with a talking horse. How much weirder can this day get. I wonder if its going to try to kill me too like everything else today. "Hello is anyone in there?" she said while patting me on top of my head. "Um, yeah sorry thank you so much for saving me." I replied shaking my head of my thoughts. "Don't mention it." "I'm sorry it’s just not every day I see a talking unicorn." She giggled a bit then said sarcastically said, “Then what do you call yourself smart one." "What?" I asked dumbly. Man I can be an idiot sometimes. She rolled her eyes a bit then said seriously," You do know that you’re a unicorn right." Then it was my turn to roll my eyes, “That is preposterous. I can't be a horse if I'm human." "Would a human look like this." she replies with her horn glowing a magnificent purple. Afterwards, a small mirror appeared from nowhere. She then moved the mirror towards me with what I assumed to be telekinesis. "Holy crap is that magic?" Curiosity quickly flooded through me. "How does it work? Tell me please." "Later." As the mirror came closer to me. I could make out the impossible. 'This can not be correct, I refuse to believe that I am a pony.' I thought to myself touching my head with my hoof. 'How can this be correct when I was clearly human. No, no, no, I refuse to believe.' But here I am looking at my own reflection. My body fur was a milky white with a black stripe running though my the side of my body. I had large green eyes that resembled emeralds in a bit. My mane was long and flowing with the colors of a sapphire blue and a ruby red, and at the top of my head had a horn on. "I swear Twilight, I am human you have to believe me." I pleaded. "I'm sorry how can I believe something that doesn't exist." "Human's exist, we may not be from this world, but we exist." "Fine I believe you. “Twilight gave up as she said rolling her eyes. "Only if you promise me that you aren't lying to me." I really had no reason to lie to her at all. "Yes I promise." "Here follow me to my house. I want to hear everything and by everything I mean everything." I tried getting up, but my legs went wobbly and I fell with a thump. "Twilight I can't walk." "Seriously, do humans walk in your planet." "Yes, but we have two legs not four." "Hmmm, I suppose we center the ground with our hooves then we move our front legs first then the opposite leg follows rinse and repeat." Twilight started to walk slowly. As if she was showing a child how to walk, but I was fine with this because I kind of need to learn how to walk if I'm going to be here for a while. I followed her instructions exactly. I got up from the ground my legs were wobbly again, but after centering them I could stand still. 'Yes, point one to Acxel.' Then I started to move in a swaying motion trying to follow Twilight's instructions. Twilight giggled a little and remarked. "good job, you learned a basic skill that fillies learn. Come follow." I stopped and turned around to face Twilight. "Wait Twilight how do you know about humans? It's like you heard of us before or something." I asked "Well humans are mentioned in some mythology books that I read when I was just a filly." Twilight responded coolly 'Huh humans are mentioned in this world before that's cool I guess makes it easier to explain myself.'. Walking to her house, I started explaining to her the events before I came to whatever this place is called, but I still left out the part of the cloaked people. She seemed extremely fascinated by every word leaving my mouth. I never felt so important in a long time. Crossing over the hill to her house I got to see that she lived in a tree. "Twilight do most ponies live in trees?" I asked. "No silly, this is a library see." Twilight opened her front door and you could see books everywhere. This girl literally lived in a library. "We have to be quiet, my baby dragon is asleep." "You have a baby dragon. THAT’S AWESOME." "Shhhhhh." "Woops sorry, wasn't thinking much, so how did you find me in the forest." I asked. After saying this I could see Twilight thinking really hard about what to say. It’s as if she didn't know what to say. This is really weird considering she is a pony who lives in a library. You would think she would always know what to say. "Well I was outside calibrating my telescope. When at the corner of my eyes I saw a blinding yellow light in the Everfree Forest. I was intrigued, so I went to explore and see what caused that and I saw you being attacked by a timber wolf and here we are now. "Like I said before thank you so much for saving me." "Don't sweat it. I want to hear everything that there is to know about humans okay." I yawned. "I am sorry cant this wait till morning. I am getting really tired. I had a long and very eventful day I think I should hit the bed." "That reminds me. We got a new room built in at the back of the house for guest you could sleep in there." "Thanks." Afterwards I walked up a flight of stairs to my bed. I felt so weak from exhaustion that I instantly fell asleep on my bed. 'Am I dreaming?' I thought to myself. I can still see my mother and father they were walking down the street. They always feel me with glee whenever their together. Their like the perfect combination. My father is very outlandish and is a bit of a clown, while my mother is very serious and likes to get things done on time every day. Suddenly I see sirens and flashing blue and red lights. I see myself from a month ago running to the police officer. "I'm sorry son; this is the only thing we could find off their bodies." He says after handing my crying self a knife with a golden handle with a ruby like gem in the middle. "Nooooooo." I yelled drenched in sweat from head to toe. 'It was just a dream.' I said to myself. However, the knife wasn't; I clearly remember whose knife that is now. After thinking about it for a bit my body came to exhaustion. I let out a quick yawn. 'I'll worry more about it tomorrow.' Then I returned back to sleep. > Chess > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Hey get up. Breakfast is done.” Said a small child while poking my head. “Can’t I have ten more minutes?” I replied. “No. Get up now before the food gets cold. Twilight wants to speak with you.” He said seriously. “Fine.” I sarcastically replied. When I Opened my eyes the lights greeted me with a sharp pain to my retinas. I rub my eyes with my hoof to let them readjust to the blinding light. ‘Huh, where am I. Oh yeah yesterday.’ I thought to myself while scanning the room I currently occupy. In the daylight I could clearly see how the guest room looks like. ‘Who was I speaking too and where did he go.’ I thought while scratching my head with my hoof. The room and the floor boards both were painted brown to keep with the tree look, I guess. There were bookcases lined up from wall to wall. ‘This Twilight character really likes to read.’ I pondered to myself. The only decorations in this room are a green dotted flower with red thorns on its stem on the windowsill, and a poster of the periodic table of elements next to the door. ‘Whoa, most of these are the same. No they are the same except for the man-made ones. Does this rule out that I am in an alternate universe? At least I can speak science to these Ponies and not look like an idiot.’ I thought to myself as I was going down the list of the elements. ‘Yeah it’s organized the same way too.’ Pointing to the left of the table, I was able to recognize all the alkali metals. “The good old Periodic table, glad you haven’t changed a bit.” I said grinning. A purple lizard with large green eyes and spikes rolling down its back came running in the room and said, “Hey Acxel, Twilight really wants to see you in the kitchen now.” “Are you Twilight’s baby dragon?" I asked dumbly. I mean what else can he be. No there's just over sized lizards running around this place. Man I can be such an idiot. He pointed at himself. “Yeah, and the name is Spike.” It said proudly like he was a big deal around here. Who knows maybe he is. “Well Spike not only that I find it cool that you can speak, but you look like what I have always imagined dragons to look.” I complimented him just to make him feel good. “Um, thanks.” Spike replied scratching his head out of confusion. “We should probably go now. Twilight really wants to speak with you.” Spike left and started walking downstairs. ‘Oh yeah, she wants to know about humans. Maybe I can get something out of that.’ I decide to follow Spike downstairs and into the kitchen. Surprisingly the kitchen floor is also made of wood and not tile. Everything is made of wood. ‘That has to be a fire hazard, but yet again this is a world with a talking unicorn in it.’ In the middle of the kitchen there was a table with a dandelion on it. I see Twilight pacing across the kitchen until she sees me. “Finally, what took you so long?’ She asked while she pulled out a chair from the table. I pointed to the guest room. “Well I was just admiring the beauty of the periodic table you had in your room.” I said coolly trying to convey the fact that I really like chemistry. Twilight’s eyes suddenly started glowing, “You really like it. I thought I was the only pony in Ponyville who really likes chemistry.” ‘Is that the name for this town?’ I pulled out my own chair from the table, “Yeah well I did take chemistry my freshman year.” Twilight gave this funny look as if she didn’t understand what the term freshman meant. “What is a freshman?” She asked dumbly. “Well it’s the first year of high school.” I replied dumbly. Like she'll know what high school is idiot. “Breakfast is done.” Spike shouted. “Great I’m so hungry that I can eat a horse.” I scanned the area to both Spike and Twilight with their mouth gaping wide open. That was probably not a smart thing to say. Man I can be an idiot sometimes. “WHAT!!!” Both Spike and Twilight yelled. ‘Oh man that is the biggest mistake I have ever said in a long time.’ I thought while face palming but in this case I guess it would be called face hoofing. ‘Man how am I going to fix this.’ I started thinking of a way I can shrug it off. “That is a phrase humans say when we are really hungry. We actually don’t eat horses trust me.” I lied we do sometimes eat horses. “Don’t eat me please.” Yelled Spike while holding onto Twilight’s leg. Twilight responded with an eye roll. “You’re a dragon Spike; I am not going to eat you. Plus I’m a pony now and ponies don’t eat other ponies, right Twi.” I said “Riiighht.” Twilight looked over me as if I was highly suspicious of smuggling drugs to the coast of California. “Okaay what’s for breakfast guys?” I asked trying to break the tension a bit. “Oh yeah breakfast.” Spike said. ‘Thank god I was able to change the subject. That got really awkward. That was actually too easy to change the subject’ Spike gave both Twilight and I an apple and an egg. ‘Hardly seems like a meal, but this isn’t America.’ I put my hoof over the table to eat, but I couldn't grab any of the food. ‘How the hell.’ I tried again and again, but I could not find a way to grab the food. 'Well that's just great I can't eat now. I swear I'm such an idiot.' I look over to see Twilight using Magic to lift the apples into her mouth, and then she uses more Magic to lift the silverware and elegantly cuts the eggs. He spell got interrupted when she turned her head and saw me staring at me. “Uh, is there something wrong?” Twilight asked as she was looking around for any abnormalities. “Uh no, well yes I can’t eat my food.” I said shyly. Twilight rolled her eyes. “Oh my Celestia. Why can’t you exactly eat your food?” She looked at me puzzled as if I'm supposed to know how to eat. Well that's is most certainly the case. I am supposed to know how to eat. “Well I don’t know Magic, so I can’t pick up the Silverware or cut the eggs.” I started to mimic out the actions that I was talking about. “Not all Ponies can use Magic.” Twilight smartly replied. “Okay, so how do they eat then?” I asked sternly. “We pin things with our hoof and our ankle. Here I will show you.” Twilight wrapped the apple around her hoof and pinned it to her ankle. She then took a bite out of the apple. “See there you go.” I then did the same motion as Twilight. The apple fit snugly between my ankle and my hoof. It seemed a bit awkward at first, but I got used to it. It reminds me of when I was a kid and I tried to pick everything up without my fingers. The only difference is that this feels more stable and less likely to fall. I bit into the apple and a flourish of flavors rushed to my taste buds, “This is some good stuff.” I said with my mouth full. Twilight giggled a bit. Her face suddenly went through a paradigm shift. She moved her plate across the table and said, “I want to know everything there is to know about humans, okay.” After swallowing, I said coolly, “Well Twilight there is about ten thousand years of history about humans.” “Okay just tell me the important things then.” She said while summoning a notepad and a pencil. “I will only tell you if you promise me two things.” I motioned my foreleg up as if I raised up two fingers. “State your claim.” “Tell me about this place and how to use Magic.” Twilight grinned and replied, “I was planning on doing that normally.” ‘Okay what are the most important things about man kind? Damn this is tough.’ “Well… our planet is called earth, and our solar system is located on the Orion Arm of the Milky Way galaxy. Humans became a species about ten thousand years ago. Humans had many achievements through out many periods of time, but the modern era science has mainly focused on everyday luxuries. Which I tell you isn’t bad, but it also isn’t very good. Human nature varies widely from one person to another. The environment that a human is raised in usually affects the behavior of said human. Modern society has made me think that most humans our inherently evil. Humans now only care about how much money they could make, and if anything goes against said money we brush it off like we don’t care. For example, if there was a starving kid on the street most people would ignore them. They might “Pity” him but they won’t help the kid out. They’ll just go by their day like they never saw that kid. This really frustrates me.” “That’s terrible.” Both Twilight and Spike replied. Spike apparently joined in on the conversation too now. ‘I totally forgot they were listening to me. 'They really are respectful.’ I thought to myself. Twilight cleared her throat and asked, “Okay tell me what a high school is.” “Well humans are an intelligent species.” Twilight butted in by scanning my body and said, “Humans may be an intelligent species, but I don’t think they’re smarter than me.” “You’re on.” I said very competitively. ‘What am I doing? I guess I am representing all of man kind, but I’m failing calculus. 'This is going to be fun.’ “Is there going to be some kind of Jeopardy contest, because I’m good at that.” “No I don’t really know what Jeopardy is, but that is beside the point. We are doing an IQ Test.” ‘Fuck me; I’m terrible at that kind of test.’ “You are so on right now. I got a 200 once in a quiz.” ‘Why am I lying now? My mouth is just saying shit on its own. Maybe I can still fix this.” “Instead of doing an IQ Test why don’t we play a game of chess?” I said trying my best to persuade her. ‘I am so good at chess. My ELO is 1800 which is semi professional. What if they don’t know what chess is? What if they don’t have the internet? Coming to think of it I haven’t spotted a television or a computer yet.’ I panicked to myself a bit. ‘If they don’t have a comp- “You’re so on.” Twilight said grinning while breaking my train of thought. Her horn starts to glow a magnificent violet and then a chess board appeared on the table. After a bit of bickering I was able to get white. About thirty minutes in the game we both had equal material, but she could checkmate me in two moves. I am completely aware of this, so I moved my rook to capture her rook. She then recaptures with her own rook. Now that she moved her rook I see an opportunity for a forced checkmate. I capture her h-7 pawn with my bishop causing her to be in check. She couldn’t take my bishop because of my g-4 knight protecting my bishop. She is then forced to move to h-8 or h-6. It doesn’t matter which one she picks, because she just lost the game. Twilight looked up at me and then she knocked over her king. “Good game.” I said with my hoof out for her to shake. She shook my hoof and replied, “I never found a pony that can best me at chess except for Celestia.” “Yeah well I had that planned out twenty moves ago.” I said kind of arrogantly Suddenly a flash of light appeared over my hind quarters. “You got your cutie mark.” Twilight said grinning. “What is a cutie mark?” I asked dumbly. “Well it is something that basically tells you what your future is. I guess it’s like your destiny.” Twilight explained. “My destiny is chess, cool.” I'm such a nerd its no wonder why I have no friends. I then asked her about Ponies. Apparently we are living in the small town of Ponyville in the land of Equestria. She then told me about Pony sub culture. “Okay why don’t we go around town? There some ponies I would like for you to meet.” Twilight said grinning. She has been very happy a lot lately it is kind of strange. I turn my head to see Spike snoring on the couch. Apparently he fell asleep during the game of chess Twilight and I had. “I can’t blame you kid. Chess will make any spectator fall asleep.” ‘I guess off to Ponyville now.’ > Pancakes > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- When we first arrived at Ponyville my breath got taken away by surprise. The architectural style seems like it was taken straight from the history books. The buildings seems like they’re timber-framed with thatched roofs. The bridges were crafted with delicate stone layouts that added an artistic sense to the town. ‘Is this a kind of architectural style or technological limitations? It has to be by design, because I saw a refrigerator and other electronic devices.’ I thought to myself. ‘Plus why would an architectural style be a technological limitation.’ While we were walking my nose caught a scent, an amazing scent. It smelt of warm bread, fresh out of the oven, which made my tongue sizzle. The scent of sweets and fresh cut fruit made my stomach yearn for their sweet, sweet, taste. The more we walked the concentration of these smells greatly increased. It makes me just want to get up and start to run as fast as I can towards this baker shop, but former idea is silly for I can’t even walk correctly very well much less run. When the baker shop came in full view and it came abundantly clear that we are heading to this place, my heart skipped a beat. I ran as fast as I can. Unfortunately, in the process of trying to run, I got my left foreleg tangled with my left hind leg, my right foreleg to my left hind, my left hind to my right foreleg, and my right hind to my left foreleg. I fell face first on to the hard cement. Cement that is much cleaner than the ones back on earth, and luckily it had no gum on it. A sharp pain rushed from my nose to the back of my head. A little bit of blood twinkled from my nose to the cement. The cement has now been tainted by my blood. A sense of shame swept through my body. Strange thinking about it, how I feel bad for dirtying something that is always walked on by others. “Ouch.” I said as Twilight started giggling behind me. “I don’t know how you did it, but you’re almost as clumsy as the camel on that unicycle from the circus.” Twilight said giggling to herself. I got up and rubbed my nose with my hoof trying to smear off any small amount of blood on my nose. I said, “Ouch, it still hurts.” “Oh, come on. Don’t be such a big filly.” Twilight teased. “Hey I’m not a baby, and what did you say about the camel thing?” I asked still rubbing my nose. Twilight looked up trying to remember what she said to me. “You’re almost as clumsy as the camel-” I quickly pointed. “Yes that, how do you know about camels. “We have camels don’t you.” Twilight’s eyes suddenly grew larger as I can see that what I meant has finally been grasped. “Oh I see, I see. Fascinating. Do you have bears?” I nodded my head in agreement. “Yes.” Twilight’s eyes just got bigger. “Cows?” I nodded my head again. “Yep.” “Birds.” “Yes, again.” “We have the same animals. Fascinating, okay, you’re coming to see Fluttershy with me at the end of the day, okay.” “Gotcha.” I pointed with my hooves as if she already didn’t get the idea. Twilight looked back at town trying to remember why we were here in the first place. “First Sugar cube corner.” She said excitedly, ready to take the day by storm. The thought of the bakery totally slipped my mind until Twilight just reminded me of its existence. As we got to the front door I can see all the appetizing treats. The large cakes made my eyes water with their magnificent beauty and elegant designs. The tiny cupcakes made my mouth sizzle, for I was trying to imagine how delicious that cupcake would be. I can smell the pies a mile away. They filled the air with their enticing aroma that begs out, “Eat me, please.” “THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!” I yelled to Twilight. Twilight grinned and said, “Come in I’ll get you something.” “Awesome.” I said while pumping my forelegs in the air, only to fall on my face again. I’m such an idiot. When I walked inside the store I spotted a huge line of Ponies in front of the register. There is a very pink and puffy pony working the register at this place. Her mane curls in no particular order. I’m not sure if this is done on purpose or it somehow reflects her personality. It also resembles cotton candy in a way. She also had a sparkle in her eyes whenever she greeted one of the ponies in the line. This can only be found in the most sanguine of characters. I can tell she loves her job. The interaction of other ponies and possibly the sweets, this is the job most fit for her. Twilight went in the line and I followed. It seemed like it took forever before we got a chance to order. Twilight said, “Hello Pinkie.” A fitting name. Pinkie gave a quick glance to me and then gasped. She ran to me with lighting speed catching me completely off guard. She then wrapped her hooves around my mine, and we shook hooves. Pinkie said, “I haven’t seen you before. If I never seen you before then that means your not from here, and if your not from here than that makes you not my friend.” Pinkie let out a gasp before continuing. “If your not my friend than I don’t know you, because everyone in Ponyville is my friend and that means I know everypony, and if your not from Ponyville than-.” Pinkie eyes just got a lot wider and she lout out an extremely long gasp, much larger than the ones that followed before it. “If your not from Ponyville than that means your new and if your new than your new, but if your new than doesn’t that make you not a resident in Ponyville yet, and if your not a resident from Ponyville than that makes you new.” Pinkie grabbed my head with her hooves. “DO YOU KNOW WHAT WE DO WITH NEW PONIES?” I shook my head with a little bit of fear, annoyance, and curiosity, mainly curiosity. “We party of course, duh. What do you think we do silly?” I replied by shaking my head in a condescending manner. I couldn’t believe the amount of energy emanating from this pony. There seems to be no way of stopping her mouth from running. ‘Is that supposed to be a rhetorical question or not, because if it’s not then I really don’t know what to say.’ “Pinkie can I have one of your famous chocolate cupcakes.” Twilight asked while scanning the menu, as if she is going to order something else too. ‘I almost completely forgot about ordering, but really desert at this hour.’ I looked down at my wrist and then I remembered I don’t have a wrist. I sighed, I couldn’t really complain about having sweets at this time, because I always ate cake in the morning for breakfast. Yeah sue me. ‘Who knows maybe desert is completely healthy for ponies.’ “What to order, what to order.” I started scanning the menu not really knowing what to get. “Do you girls happen to have any thoughts of what I should get?” Of course right after I said this, the pink pony’s eyes grew immensely. They seem to do that a lot. “There is so many great things you could order. We got chocolate cupcakes, red velvet cupcakes, chocolate cake, red velvet cake-.” “I’m going to stop you right there and say, you like chocolate don’t you, but I’ll think I will have an apple pie with some whip cream on the top. Thank you.” A bit later the pink pony came back with the deserts. She sat down right next to us, probably to commerce, and she then started going on and on about how she wanted to friends and how she knows every pony in this town. “So do you think we could be friends?” Pinkie asked politely for once. I looked at Twilight. She then looked at me, grinned, and then nodded in approval. Thinking about it why do I need Twilight’s permission to have friends. She’s not like my mother or anything. God I can be such an idiot. “Yes.” I said with a smile on my face as wide as the Mississippi River. She now is the second friend I had in a long time, Twilight being the first, I think. This world has already opened up to me more than Earth has ever done, and probably more than it ever will. “Man this pie is great!” I said with my mouth full. “You should probably slow down. I’m sure the readers don’t want you to choke or anything.” Pinkie said with a huge smile on her face. She always seems to be smiling. I really like that, it makes feel good on the inside like no matter how bad a situation could be there will be Pinkie smiling, giving hope. “What?” Twilight and I both said in utter confusion over what Pinkie just said. “Yes the ones watching us right now.” Pinkie put on a fake mustache and put her hooves together and started rubbing them together. I started to crack up. I started laughing my but off. After a bit longer of laughing and me wiping my tears, I finally asked, “Where did you get that mustache from?” “I always keep them around town just in case I need them.” Pinkie said taking off her mustache. I can feel myself cracking up again after she said that. “Haha, keeping… them… in… town. Wow you are one crazy pony Pinkie. I really like you.” I said wiping my tears of laughter. “I think it’s time for us to be off now. Nice seeing you Pinkie.” Twilight said. “Ah do we have to be going now.” I whined. “Yes we do. We need to do more things.” Twilight said with a bit of a rush to her tone. “Wait, silly me I never got your name?” Pinkie asked. “My name is Acxel.” “Nice to meet you Acxel.” “Likewise.” Twilight and I then walked from the baker shop. “So what do you think of Pinkie?” Twilight asked. “I liked her a lot. She is very nice, and has a great attitude and she’s funny. “Yep she’s quite the hoot isn’t she, but before we move on there is something I need to tell you. Come closer.” I then moved closer to Twilight, so she could whisper something to me. “You cannot tell anyone your human okay. Especially that Lyra pony.” Twilight got a bit sinister especially after that last part of Lyra, Lyra, whatever her name is. “Okay.” I just nodded in agreement. Man I really am a slave to Twilight. We walked in silence after that. I could tell that Twilight is lost in her thoughts just by the way she walked. While walking I also noticed this brown pony with an hourglass cutie mark and a gray pegasus chasing this weird purple cat thing. That seems a bit odd, but who knows maybe that’s the norm here. “Here we are.” Said Twilight as she pointed to a purple boutique. I can only assume that in there is another one of her friends. When we walked in a white unicorn with an over styled blue mane greeted us. “Hello Twilight, I have this dress that I made for you, and I have a feeling that you’re really going to like it, and who might be your dashing compadre over there.” Said the white unicorn. I blushed a bit after she said that. Twilight replied, “I will love to try your new dress Rarity, but not right now.” “Oh that’s okay.” Rarity sounded a bit let down. “This is my new friend Acxel. Actually I have a favor for you Rarity. Do you think you can introduce Acxel to the rest of our friends while I go do some research?” ‘Not much of a favor if your just gonna tell her before she even accepts.’ “Sure darling, nice to meet you Acxel.” “Likewise.” Twilight then left without saying a word. ‘I wonder what she’s up to.’ Rarity walked around me and asked, “You like her don’t you?” I quickly started shaking every part of my body that can shake. “What me no, that is completely preposterous.” I laughed a bit afterwards. “No really, I can tell just by the way you look at her, and the way you cling to her every word. Honey, I know love when I see it.” Rarity getting right down to the point. ‘That can’t be true, how can I like a pony if I’m human. Well at least used to be human.’ “Well I guess that doesn't matter, but what does matter is I just got a wonderful idea. I want to make a tux for you.” “You don’t have to.” I said. “It’s not your choice. I’m making a suit for you and that’s final, plus I really want to.” Rarity said pushing it on me. Somehow I knew I wasn’t going to win this, so I just accepted it instead. “Thanks.” I quickly gave up. What can I say, Ladies can push me around. Even pony ladies I suppose. Rarity looked up. “Where did you meet Twilight? She asked curiously. “I met her in the Everfree Forest.” Not lying yet. A whole new record for me. Rarity rose her eyebrows, “That’s a strange place to meet don’t you think.” I looked at the window, eyeing the view of the small town. Looking out windows always help me think, and makes me feel more secure. It’s as if I’m not here anymore. I’m a bird in the sky flying through the clouds, feel the breeze on my wings. I always space out during class while doing this. ‘If only I was a pegasus.’ I looked back at Rarity, “Yeah it is strange huh, but what can I say. Twilight saved my life and I should be eternally grateful.” Rarity looked surprised, “Really, she did.” “Yep, she saved me from a wild Timber wolf attack. I thought I was going to die right there.” Well thinking about it now I thought I was going to die a lot yesterday. Hell I was thinking that Twilight might even try to kill me. Rarity started pacing and asked, “Where are you from?” ‘Where am I from, well shit. I can’t remember any other cities name except for Ponyville. I can’t say I’m from Ponyville, she might be like Pinkie and know everypony here. What do I say?’ “I actually don’t remember where I’m from. When Twilight saved me in the forest I actually had amnesia and I couldn’t recall any events before meeting Twilight.” ‘Well there goes my dirty, dirty mouth again. I really have to learn how not to lie.’ Rarity raised her eyebrow again. I asked before she could reply, “Do you think we could leave now.” “Sure just let me find the right outfit darling.” “Okay.” Rarity left me in the front of the store. I started to look around the place, observing some of her dresses she had on display. The colors were outstanding it looks as if some of them are perfectly blended together. I reached out and touched the fabric of the clothes. The fabric felt as I would imagine a cloud would feel. I heard Rarity humming as she started walking down the hall. I instinctively stopped touching the clothes and walked back to the spot that I was waiting for her at. Rarity had a completely fabulous outfit, a little too fabulous for just a walk in town. After a bit of walking Rarity stopped at the local marketplace to shop, I assume. This place reminds me more of a flea market than anything else. There are vendors trying to sell all sorts of products, and costumers trying to negotiate deals. It all feels way too familiar, almost like I’m back at home. The only thing is I’m not. In the corner of my eyes I see Rarity talking to this blonde pony. ‘I wonder what she’s doing.’ I walk over to see what Rarity is doing. “Awe Applejack I would like for you to meet my good friend Acxel.” “Hi, Applejack.” I said. ‘Good friends we just barely met.’ “Howdy partner. Ah' don’t reckon seeing you here around these parts before.” Applejack said with a strong southern accent. ‘A southern pony, what is this place going to have next, British ponies.’ “Um, yes nice to meet you Applejack.” I said. Rarity butted in the conversation and said, “Yeah that’s because he’s not from here.” Applejack took a bite out of her apple. “Really so where are you from then bud?” “Actually he doesn’t know where he’s from. He has amnesia. In fact he only remembers waking up in the Everfree Forest where he suddenly got attacked by a Timber Wolf. Only then did Twilight come in and save him, is it not romantic.” Rarity said while glancing up in the sky. ‘Not really.’ “I think Twilight is going to help him get his memory back and try to find where he’s from.” Rarity still looking in the sky trying to imagine me and Twilight together. Applejack then gave me the biggest hug and told me how I’m one of the bravest warriors she ever knew. The only thing is that was a complete lie, and it didn’t help for the fact that Rarity had to go and add things to the lie. I am watching gossip spread from pony to pony. I really don’t think Twilight is going to like this at all. We then left the apple stand and Rarity and I headed out to our next destination. Rarity was talking about some pony named Rainbow Dash, but we had trouble finding her. Apparently she is some kind of hotshot pegasus. It started to get dark, and we really had to find her soon, or I think I might want to kill myself. I can’t stand Rarity’s constant complaining of how things are so uncouth, and how much of a terrible thing this is because we can’t find Rainbow Dash. “Ugh where can she be, she said she’ll be here, but she is nowhere to be found. THIS IS THE WORST POSSIBLE THING EVER.” Rarity said while fainting on a couch she conjured from god knows where. See there you go. ‘Ugh this is really starting to get on my nerves now.’ Rarity then sat up and said, “Oh stupid me, how could I forget out. She said she was going to be at the dojo.” Rarity hitting the top of her head with her hooves. Now when Rarity mentioned dojo this sparked great interest to me, because I always wanted to try to learn a martial art. I was bullied a bit after “The Day”, so I wanted to try to learn how I could kick Steve in the face. However, I got denied to every dojo. They told me I was going to abuse my power. Like what does that mean? When we got to the dojo it seemed completely empty. There were broken benches and punching bags on the floor though. It seemed like some pony was training not too long ago. “Did we miss her? Oh woe is me.” I rolled my eyes in response to Rarity constant bitching. I mean Rarity is cool and all, but seriously this got to stop. It is really starting to get on my nerves. Suddenly, a blur of colors zipped right past me, followed by a shout then a crash. I turned to look only to find a 500 kilogram punching bag stuck in the wall, and next to it is a blue pegasus with a rainbow colored mane. She moved her hoof through her mane, showing a side of elegance and grace with what I just seen, an extremely powerful pony. “THAT WAS AWESOME.” I yelled in excitement. She walked towards me and said in a cocky tone, “Yeah I tend to be that.” “Rainbow we were searching all day for you.” Rarity whined. “Didn’t I say I was going to be here?” … “Okay there you go, well who is this Rarity.” “Hi my name is Acxel. I assume your Rainbow Dash. Do you think you can teach me some of your moves?” I pleaded probably sounding pretty desperate. “Um yeah, but it would cost 50 bits an hour to train you-” Rarity butted in. “Hey, Acxel is a great friend of Twilights, and he has amnesia so you should give him free lessons.” Rarity stared right in Rainbow Dashes eye. Their glares met, and for what it seemed a while nothing was going to happen at all. Rainbow Dash then let out a sigh. She gave me a small smile and reached out her hoof. I extended mine and we should on it. “Acxel I expect to see you in the morning, okay.” “You bet yah, but I should probably get a job just to make money huh.” “You could always do my studies with me.” A very familiar voice behind me said. I quickly turned around to see Twilight in the doorway. My face lit up, and I ran straight to her and gave her a big hug. Hey don’t hate on me she is like my only friend that I had in a long time. “Uh, are you okay?” Said Twilight blushing a bit. I quickly let go of her, and then I blushed a bit. ‘Okay maybe that was a bit eccentric.’ I turned to see both Rarity and Rainbow Dash staring at us with their mouths wide open. Twilight and I both started blushing again and said, “No, it’s not like that at all.” “We’re not like together or something.” I said then followed by a face hoof. Twilight didn’t say anything after wards. We both just kind of slowly and awkwardly walked out of the dojo together. After getting a bit distance from the dojo Twilight looked at me and we both started laughing. “I can’t believe I did that Twi.” “Yeah, I didn’t see that coming either, so why did you do it, the hug? Did you really miss me that much?” I looked into the clouds again to help collect my thoughts together. Man would I kill to be a pegasus right now. “I really don’t have an answer to that. I was just so happy to see you I guess. I mean its night now, and it has been hours since I last seen you. This really never ever happened to me before.” Twilight grinned, “Well that’s sweet I guess. I have one more person I would like for you to meet and then I could teach you magic like you wanted.” “Sweet, so um, Twilight who is this person that you want me to meet anyways?” “Her name is Fluttershy. She lives out of town, near the Everfree Forest actually. I will warn though like her name applies she is extremely shy, so I wouldn’t be too over charismatic with her okay.” Twilight warned. “Okay.” I swear these ponies’ names are insane. “Acxel.” “Yeah.” “Since when did your cutie mark disappear.” I turned around and said grinning, “Twilight why you looking at my ass?” After I said that she started to blush. She opened her mouth but not a noise came from it. I giggled a bit, “I’m just kidding, but seriously is it gone.” “Yeah it’s gone. It’s like you never got it in the first place.” Twilight’s voice started to get a little bit more stressed. “Is that supposed to happen?” I asked dumbly. “No, that is not supposed to happen. When I said that the cutie mark is like your destiny I meant it. It is supposed to be a part of who you are and what you do. It is a permanent impression of yourself in a nutshell, and if it disappeared then that shows that really wasn’t your destiny.” “I think I get it. The fact is that where I’m from there is no such thing as destiny or happily ever after. There’s just life, a meaningless composition of disappointment after disappointment.” I sighed, “Humans are meaningless all we do is destroy. Even though I’m a pony it’s like this place knows who I really am.” I looked across the bridge and stared into the countless number of trees untouched. I then turned around to Twilight. “However, that doesn’t mean there isn’t such a thing as second chances. I’m not a human anymore Twilight. I’m one-hundred percent pony, and seeing the nature around here it makes me feel pleased how your species coincides with nature so perfectly. It makes me pleased that humans haven’t degraded this place yet.” Twilight had a worried expression on her face. “Wow, I didn’t know you had feelings like that.” She suddenly grasped my leg. “If you feel like that than you really go to see Fluttershy.” “Okay.” I said trying to keep up with Twilight. It was a miracle I didn’t lose my balance like last time. I think I’m getting used to walking now. We arrived at a small cottage that I’m assuming is Fluttershy’s house. The one thing that sets me off is that what I saw in Ponyville was that many ponies seemed to be around the same economical class. Everypony had the same house, the same amount of money, the same merchandise, and the same level of happiness. This seems different in the fact that Fluttershy’s house seems very modest compared to all the other ponies. Twilight walked to the door and banged on it incisively. Knock, knock! ………… Knock, knock, knock, knock, and knock! ………………………………………….. Knock, knock, knock, knock, and knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, and knock! ………………………………………………………………………………………. There wasn’t a single noise coming from inside the house. I looked over at Twilight. “I guess she isn’t home.” Twilight was still staring at the door. She turned around and started pacing back and forth. “Oh, I know she is probably in her backyard checking on her forest friends.” I looked back at the cottage. “If you say so.” I said in a demeaning manner. We went around her cottage in which I was completely surprised. It seemed as if every animal in the world lived here. The diversity of animals is ridiculous. It ranged from squirrels to bears. Yes bears, this pony had bears living in her back yard! However, there still was no sign of Fluttershy anywhere though. I scratched my chin. “Where the hell is she?” I looked over at Twilight. She was standing next to the chicken pens staring into the Everfree forest. I then walked towards Twilight. To my horrification half of the pen was gone, and on the floor were pegasus feathers. “Twilight- She didn’t even let me finish my sentence. “We have to go in the forest NOW!” She then ran off into the forest following the tracks left by whatever destroyed the back side of the chicken pen. ‘This is not going to go well.’ I thought to myself. I was running as fast as I can go just to try to keep up with Twilight. The more I ran I could see less and less. The forest completely immersed us. It is now pitch black in the forest. I can’t see two inches from my nose. I just had to follow Twilight hoof steps. I could feel my muscles give way. My test tightened up and it started becoming very difficult to breathe, but I couldn’t let this stop me, somepony is in trouble and I need to find her. I kept going in spite of my body failing me. Until I stopped suddenly, and I felt a great pain hit me right in the nose. I looked up and I ran into a branch. The tree had a very horrifying appearance, but that wasn’t the thing that filled my heart in fear. What made every part of my body tremble was what was on the branch. It was a broken piece of black cloth. A very reminiscent piece of cloth a piece that reminded me of what happened yesterday. “No, no, it can’t be. That isn’t possible. It’s just a piece of cloth.” I heard the sound of branches breaking behind me. I quickly turned around and faced the sound only to see Twilight staring at me. I sighed, “Have you found her yet.” Twilight shook her head. “No.” I said grimly. Twilight then looked down and tears started to fill her eyes. I lifted her chin up so her eyes were parallel with mine. “Hey look Twilight, I’m sure Fluttershy is just fine, but right now I’m more worried about are safety.” Twilight gave me a weird look like what am I talking about. “I can’t explain right now, but this place isn’t safe and we need to Go like now.” Twilight shook her head. “Not until we find Fluttershy.” “Okay fine.” Man I really give up so easily. Damn ladies control my every action. We started the search for Fluttershy. Twilight cast a spell that illuminated her horn like a flash light. That is pretty useful. We both are yelling Fluttershy to see if anything would respond, but nothing ever did. We searched in small caves, and holes in the ground, but still there was no sign of her. Hell I even climbed a tree to see if I could spot Fluttershy. Climbing a tree as a horse was probably one of the most challenging things I did for a long time. I swear my arse got so sore afterwards. I sighed. “Twili-.” A sharp pain filled my head. It felt as if all my skin is being pulled of my skin slowly. I quickly fell straight to the floor and started screaming. I can see Twilight quickly ran to my side at the corner of my eyes. I can see her mouth moving, but no noise came from it, just silent mumbling. She had this worried look on her. Like the kind in which you have no idea what to do. In the pain though I could make out the faintest of voices. The voice started to escalate in volume and when it did the pain followed in suit. I started to scream my head off. The screaming didn’t really help at all, but what am I to do. The voice sounded demonic with many echoes to it. “Oh, so this is where you went.” The voice said playfully in my head. I can feel its dark fingers caressing my brain as it was going through my memories, looking at them, violating them. I barely managed to get any wards out. “Get, the, fuck, out, of, my, head.” Twilight started to shake me. I don’t know why she would be doing this but I can tell she is panicking right now. “No I think I like it here. Ho ho, somebody made some friends. How would you like it if I killed them in front of you?” The voice asked wickedly. I was on the floor with my hooves around my head. I could still feel Twilight shaking on my body. She was draped in sweat. Her face was extremely panicked. She didn’t know what to do. I barely moved my head coming up with a solution. She is definitely not prepared for what I’m about to do. The pain reached a new high. I let out another high pitched scream. I gritted my teeth to help deal with the pain. “GET THE FUCK OUT OFF MY HEAD YOU STUPID MOTHER FUCKER!!!!!!” I yelled at the top of my lungs. With the last of my strength I got up and drove my head in the closest tree. Then darkness. A very dark and oppressive hallway, which was littered with ancient artifacts on display, had two men cloaked with black robes started walking towards the edge of the hallway. One of them let the other one in a small door. In the room there was one other person in there. However, this man wasn’t wearing a cloak, no, he is completely naked. He liked not wearing any clothes as he thinks it restricts him, separating him from his flesh and bone. Except, it appears that he doesn’t have any flesh. In fact, he held no features in his face or body, just a shadow of a person. The inside of him was pure black. Looking at it for too long makes you warped and twisted for its’ body is the lack of a soul, and all that is evil in the world resides. it is the void. The void of despair, the void of which one who relishes in it loses all their humanity. it is the lack of kindness. A monster in which it probably called its’ home hell, and resided there until very recently. The man in the cloak who just entered the room with this horrid creature just stared at it in disgust. “I don’t know why we even keep you here demon.” He snapped his head to look away and stare into the far side of the room. The room is too dark to notice anything unusual about, but yet this man kept staring into the darkness. The demon turned his head to face the man in which who just spoke of him. “Oh, come on I thought you loved me here Van.” It’s voice had an echo of one hundred people in it. People that no matter his attitude always sounded scared and frightened, screaming for salvation,no doubt that these people had them sucked inside this demons body. “Love you Abraxis?” Van snorted. “I never heard of anything more ridiculous in my life. In fact, if it was up to me I would kill you right now where you stand.” Van said still staring at the darkness. "HAHAHAHAHA."Abraxis gave out the most chilling laugh that you will ever hear. “Do you think you have a chance to survive against me.” Abraxis said while chuckling. Two sideways mouths appeared on opposite parts of his head. They grinned, thirsting for the blood that he has long been waiting for. “I shall feed once more.” Van removed his hood and smiled. He had short blond hair, which had no care to it for it looked like it hadn’t been washed very well. His face is greatly scared with remnants of previous encounters that he might’ve had. It’s like someone took his face in a blender. His eyes burnt of a fire, a fire that only a battle could soothe. He then pulled out his hands to reveal that they too were covered in many scars, and each finger had about five rings on them. Whatever he has been through it couldn’t be any better than hell itself. He grinned with those eyes that were quickly ignited for the thought of a fight. “I would be so glad to finish you off right now.” Abraxis stopped smiling. “So be it.” Abraxis then grew another mouth, but this one was located right where it should be. The mouth ejaculated an ear shattering screech of joy. “This will be quick.” The mouth made a twisted smile, the kind that sends shivers down your spine when you look at them. Abraxis dashed forward faster than any human being can dream of, leaving a trail of dust behind it. While it charged it rose its’ right arm which then morphed into some sort of spear. It was closing in right on Van’s position. When one of Vans’ rings started glowing. A force field then surrounded Van. Bang! Abraxis slammed his spear hand right into the force field, yet nothing happened. Van rose his left arm. “Now it’s my turn.” All his rings on his ring finger then started to glow. Out of his hand beams of light shout out with fireballs, magic missiles, and the kitchen sink (not literally). Abraxis’ back suddenly started to move by itself, it flowed like water. Blood shout out everywhere as two massive wings appeared on its’ back. Abraxis took flight avoiding most of the magic offensive, but the armament still kept on coming, when suddenly a beam of light pierced through Abraxis wing. The pain filled through Abraxis causing it to giggle with joy. It loves the feel of pain; in fact, the only thing it loves more is causing others to feel pain whether emotional or physical. However, this allowed Van enough time to get Abraxis in a telekinetic slam. He grabbed Abraxis and flung him ten feet into a wall. Van quickly flicked his wrist. A small blue aura appeared around Van granting him speed of that much greater than a normal person. Van dashed as fast as he can. He dashed so fast that it could put Rainbow Dash to shame. By the time Abraxis hit the floor Van was already on top of it. Van flicked his wrist again, but this time a red aura appeared around Van that made him much stronger than a normal person. He grabbed Abraxis throat choking it. You can see the skin peeling off of Van where he is touching Abraxis, but Van didn’t pay any attention to this. His attention was only on making Abraxis ceasing from existence. With his right hand he started prodding Abraxis’ stomach with different fingers, and started chanting hymns until a symbol appeared on Abraxis stomach. Van readied his right arm to complete the spell. “CEASE FROM EXISTENCE YOU MONSTER.” Van yelled. “Enough!” Yelled a feminine voice from somewhere. Van quickly let go of Abraxis and bowed toward the direction of a small blue smoke in the center of the room that just yelled out. “I’m sorry my goddess, please forgive me.” Abraxis just stood there, speechless, even though he has no facial features you could tell that he is pissed after losing the fight with Van. I wouldn’t even call it a fight. I would call it an ass whooping. “All is well, I did quite enjoy watching you too fighting to the death, but I am a bit disappointed Abraxis. I was hoping that after I got you from the darkest pit of Hell, that you would be at least powerful enough to put up a fight against Van.” Said the smoke. Abraxis got up then started laughing manically. “Ah I still need to feed to gain my full strength, and I know exactly who I’m going to feed on.” Abraxis turned around showing his backside which is completely torn up from the wings emerging. “Don’t go, not yet, I have missions for the both of you. Thanks to Abraxis getting the information we need. I can see that Acxel is located in Universe 2332. Which is very convenient for me. Van I need you to prepare for traveling across universes, and you Abraxis we still don’t have all the information we need.” A mouth grew on the back side of Abraxis’ head. It grinned and said, “I’m sorry but he pushed me out of his mind when I was about to extract the information, and now an outside force created a mental barrier to protect him from me. I have to feed to get past it.” Abraxis started to sink into the floor searching for the person he is going to feed on. After he left Van turned to face the cloud. “We can’t trust it Goddess. After it feeds it may be too powerful for the both of us to handle.” “That is exactly the plan.” Van quickly shot up. “I can kill it now, and we can still complete the plan without it!” “No we need it.” “But-” “Silence and do what you’re told. DO NOT QUESTION THOU GODDESS!” The smokes’ voice suddenly got deeper, and was shouting. Van turned around and exited the room. Then with a poof the smoke was gone.
