>Day This Is Not Lordran in Equestria. >You are Havel The Rock. >And this is most certainly not Lordran. >It's too bright. >Too colorful. >It angers you. >You hate it. >And what you hate even more is magic. >And Seath the Scaleless. >It was probably his doing that you were here. >This angers you further. >Three small horses stand in front of you. >They are not colorful. >This pleases you. >They have wings of bats, which could be the result of magic. >This angers you! >"Hi!" >One speaks. >You kneel down to its eye-level. >All three of them have slitted eyes. >"My name is Echo!" >The dark blue-haired one accosts you. "My name is Havel The Rock of Thorolund, ex-Bishop of the Way of the White Covenant, now loyal knight to his glorious Sun, Lord Gwyn." >"Glorious Sun?" >The dark turquoise-haired one speaks. >"Do you mean Princess Celestia?" >You shake your head, your large helmet not revealing this. "No, I do not mean that. I mean Lord Gwyn." >"Apologies, sir. My name is Midnight, and the p0ny you just spoke to is Speck." >You sigh loudly and pick up your Dragon Tooth and shield. "Where am I?" >The first one... Echo, speaks up. >"Equestria." "This is not Lordran." >"Never heard of it." >You start walking across the field in which you stand. >"Where are you going?" >You point into the distance, toward a large mountain with a castle built onto its side. "That castle." >Speck screeches and flies in front of you. >"You're going to Canterlot?! Can we come?!" >This one is excitable. >It's endearing. "Nay, 'tis not a journey such small creatures should make." >All three of them have a snicker fit. >Their keekeekee's ring through your helmet. >"Wow, Mister Havel, you're quite batty aren't you?" >You look at Echo. >"That journey's easy! We can wing it!" >You look at Speck. >"Pff, that trip ain't no fang." >You look at Midnight. >Seath will pay for this. >You very calmly start walking across the field. >The three p0nies follow you. >You stop in front of a large apple tree. >"Are you already tired, Mister Havel?" "No, merely... angry." >You lift your Dragon Tooth and size up the tree. >You slip your shield onto your back and hold your weapon with both hands. "Stand back, small horses." >They take a few steps back and you swing as hard as you can. >The tree explodes, wooden shrapnel and apples flying everywhere. >A collective, loud gasp sounds behind you. >You turn to see all three of them staring wide-eyed at you. >You step up to them and kneel in front of them. "NO MORE PUNS, UNDERSTAND?" >They all nod and whimper. >You hated Seath. >You hated magic. >You hated bright and colorful things. >And you hated puns and jokes. >Positive was not a thing you felt. "Come, we continue our journey." >You turn and lead them towards Clip-a-clop, or whatever they called it. >Several hours later, you arrive at the gates of the city. >The guards glare at you and your companions. >You would glare at them too, but you were currently focused on the guards. >"We can't let you in. The Gala is due to start, and the city is closed." >You turn to the bat p0nies. >Each one of them now wears an elegant dress. >You won't ask. >You will only be angered by this obvious display of magic. >You turn to the guards and lift your club in anger. "LET ME THROUGH, OR SO HELP ME LORD GWYN I WILL END YOU." >The guards' horns glow as they try to assault you with their magic. "MAGIC DOES NOT HARM HAVEL THE ROCK! HAVEL THE ROCK HARMS MAGIC!" >You pull out a talisman and cast your Great Magic Barrier miracle. >You hold your club with two hands and swing it at the guards. >The first one manages to duck, but the second... not so lucky. >He screams as he falls down the mountain-side. "LET ME THROUGH, OR HIS FATE WILL BE YOURS!" >The guard cowers and opens the gate. >It doesn't open fast enough for your liking. >You smash it open with your Dragon Tooth. >The three bat p0nies cheer and screech as they follow you into the city. >Speck taps at your helmet and points toward the castle. >"Come on! We're gonna be late!" >The bat p0nies speed off. >You give chase. >You run fast, despite how heavy your armor is. >Squats and oats, as they say. >You come upon the front entrance to the castle. >More guards stand around the castle's front gardens. >They pay you no heed. >The bat p0nies have disappeared into the crowd of other, smaller, more colorful horses. >Many of them use magic to hold their drinks or food. >Too many times today, have you been angered. >You will take this up with Princess Celestia herself. >And then with Lord Gwyn! >You walk into the castle. >A large hallway with a large door on the end of it, and many other entrances lining the sides of the hall. >The large door at the end is blocked off by guards. >You approach them. "Where is Princess Celestia?" >One guard points behind you, to the third entrance on the right of the hallway. >You thank the guard and head down that path. >Another hallway. >You sigh and start your trek to its end. >A large room with many ponies, a staircase, and a large white horse with a multicolor mane, and a smaller, but still large, dark blue horse with a mane of stars. >Obviously the gods of this world. >You approach them. >Three small bat p0nies immediately speed past you and latch onto the darker horse. >You scream at them. "IS THAT ANY WAY TO TREAT A GOD, YOU RUDE, DESECRATIVE, INSUFFERABLE LITTLE PESTS?!" >You hold your club up at them, threateningly. >They back off of the darker horse. >She thanks you. >Both of the large horses stare at you, looks of curiosity and fear on their faces. >You kneel in front of the white one and offer her your hand. >"No, rise. Who are you?" >The white one addresses you. >You stand and clear your throat. "I am Havel The Rock of Thorolund, ex-Bishop of the Way of the White Covenant, current knight of the glorious Sun, Lord Gwyn of Lordran." >She has a surprised expression on her face. >"Glorious Sun? Lord Gwyn? Hmm. I know not of him, but I am the Princess of the Sun, Celestia." >Princess of the Sun? >You kneel once again. "Gwynevere, 'tis an honor to be in thy presence." >"Gwynevere? No, no. My name is Celestia. Cel-es-tia." >You stand again. "How did I get here?" >She shrugs. >"I believe we should use a later time to discuss that, and see if we can find a solution. In the mean time, please. Enjoy the festivities." >Your stomach growls. >You will not protest to a free meal. "Very well. I will return soon." >The three bat p0nies finish harassing the dark horse and follow you. >They squeal and gossip about having met the Princess of the Night. >Whatever that means. >You sit at a large table with a dozen other p0nies and your three companions. >Echo and Midnight went out into the garden to hunt down small animals. >They now drank their blood. >At the table. >They disgust you. >Speck, on the other hand, simply ate some fruit. >She was much quieter than the other two. >Did it have something to do with her not drinking blood? >That wasn't your business, nor did you care. >You picked an apple up and held it to your helmet. >Several p0nies and Echo stared at you as you smashed it through your helmet's face holes. >You didn't actually eat the apple. >You just smashed it against your helmet. >And you were sustained from it. >It was not something you questioned. >It was efficient, as you never had to take your armor off. >"I say, that is more abhorrent than those two... vile bats drinking blood at the table." >You stand. >You turn to the offending horse. "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY ABOUT ME, YOU LITTLE HORSE? I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW I WAS THE TOP BISHOP IN THE ENTIRE WAY OF THE WHITE COVENANT, AND I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN NUMEROUS SECRET RAIDS ON THE DRAGON SEATH THE SCALELESS, AND I HAVE OVER THREE HUNDRED CONFIRMED HUMANITIES..." >You start to trail off as you run out of breath, opting to simply flip the massive table. >"I-I'm very sorry sir, I did not mean to... eep." >You pick the horse up by its throat and start screaming in its face once again. "ARE YOU MOTHER FUCKING SORRY!?" >He tries to nod. "TOO BAD, YOU INSIGNIFICANT MAGIC-USING PIECE OF DUNG." >You turn and throw him through the large glass windows behind you. >Several p0nies start clapping and cheering. >One walks up to you and places a hoof on your armor. >"Thank you, dear. Nop0ny likes him." >You hold your arms out to your sides, palms upturned. >Midnight floats in front of your face, holding a very large watermelon. >Don't even think about it. "Don't you dare." >She dares. >She smashes the watermelon into your helmet. >You can't even be angry. >You brought that upon yourself. >The other p0nies that sat at your table begin moving to another room. >The one with her hoof on your armor says the ball dancing is about to begin. >All three of your companions scream in unison and start pushing, pulling, and dragging you to the ballroom. "Absolutely not." >Echo displays large puppy eyes. >Speck threatens to cry. >Midnight huffs and pouts and stomps about. >You refuse. >"Pleaaaase Havel?" "No." >"Come on, Mister Havel! Please?" "No!" >Midnight finally chimes in. >"Come on. It'll be fun." "NOOOOOO!!!" >You hate fun so much. >It ranks up there with magic. >You stomp around the ball room, picking up random p0nies and throwing them at other p0nies. "I hate fun!" >You throw another. "I hate dancing!" >You grab a large ice sculpture and hold it over your head. "And I especially hate this world!" >You throw it down and smash it to bits. "SUN HORSE WHERE ARE YOU! WE HAVE BUSINESS!" >The large white horse runs into the room. >"What is all of this noise? Why is the ice sculpture shattered? Why are there p0nies lying on the floor?" >She looks up at you and raises a brow. >"Oh. I shouldn't even be surprised. After several thousand years of putting up with everything." >She sighs and shakes her head. >"Come with me, Havel." >You follow her. >Your companions follow you. >Both princesses, you, and your companions sit in a small room. >"You came here with a dimension walking spell." >MAGIC! >You roar aloud. >"My sister and I know a spell that can get you home." >Praise the sun! >"But we will only use it on one condition." "Name it." >"Take us with you." >Lord Gwyn would probably enjoy having a horse. >And you like how the dark one lacks any real color to her. "Deal." >"What about us?!" >Echo pipes up. "What about you?" >Speck waves a hoof in front of your helmet. >"We wanna go on more adventures with you!" "Absolutely not." >Celestia chuckles. >"Oh come now, Havel. I think they'd have fun." >You sigh. "Fine. But if you die, it will not be my fault. Remember to tap your bonfires and keep your estus flasks handy." >Midnight stares at you with a curious look. >All of them do. >"Die?" >"Estrus flask?" >"Bonfire?" >This was going to be an absolutely dreadful experience. >"Ready, Havel?" >A portal opens up in the middle of the room. >Lordran. >Your home. >And home of Lord Gwyn. >You step through, all five p0nies following you into Lordran. >Specifically, the Firelink Shrine. >And a truly dreadful adventure awaits.
