  1. >Be the Hero of Time
  2. >Day who the hell knows in the Lost Woods
  3. >Is this even the Lost Woods anymore? You couldn’t recognize any of the plants or monsters you came across.
  4. >Plus you haven’t been able to find any supplies recently, no matter how many bushes you hack apart.
  5. >You’re starting to run out of everything but Deku Sticks and it’s making you a little worried.
  6. >Hopefully it’s just a bad dry spell.
  7. >You see the trees thinning out ahead, and spur Epona onwards with a [spoiler]slap to the flank[/spoiler]MOTIVATIONAL CARROT, making her whinny and trot faster.
  8. >Exiting the woods, you come out into a vast, open field.
  9. >Déjà vu
  10. >At the center of the field is a modest town, with some kind of large ranch nearby.
  11. >Cool, it’s like you’re in Hyrule and Termina at the same time.
  12. >You [spoiler]kick[/spoiler]CARROT Epona into a quick gallop, heading for the town and reaching it much quicker than expected.
  13. >You had thought it was farther away, but your eyes were just tricked by how small the buildings are.
  14. >Apparently this is because the town is populated by tiny, colorful horse-people.
  15. >Damn, they’re really little for horses, even Epona is taller than them and she’s still a filly.
  16. >They look like they would be right on eye level with a kid like you.
  17. >Speaking of eyes, theirs are huge - apart from that and their short pseudo-muzzles, their faces seem almost Hylian.
  18. >It’s not like you’re any stranger to weird humanoid races, though, so you just hop down from Epona and start looking for the shops that will certainly be here somewhere.
  19. >The horse-people have been looking at you uneasily, and some seem to be staring at Epona’s butt. That’s… kind of creepy.
  20. >At least they’re not making you leave her outside the town, for once.
  21. >After dismounting Epona, you run over to the closest building and try the door. Locked.
  22. >Oh well. At least there’s some shrubs planted outside the building. Maybe you’ll have more luck now that you’re out of the woods.
  23. >You pull the Mirror Shield onto your arm and unsheathe your Gilded Sword, swinging away with abandon.
  24. HUT! HRAH! HYAAAH!
  25. >”AAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!”
  26. >”THE HORROR! THE HORROR!”
  27. >You look up from your freelance yardwork to see horse-people fleeing in all directions and screaming hysterically.
  28. >Within seconds the street is empty, save for Epona, who just stands there as if nothing had happened.
  29. >What the hell was that all about?
  30.  
  31. >You continue going from building to building, trying to open doors, only to find them locked and occasionally hearing screaming from inside.
  32. >None of the bushes you cut up have anything useful inside them, either.
  33. >This is getting annoying, what is wrong with this place?
  34. >Suddenly everything takes on a purple tint, and you find yourself lifting off the ground.
  35. >You flail around, slashing at the air uselessly.
  36. HAH! HYAH! YAAAAH! RAAAH!
  37. >Damn, you’ve been trapped in some kinda floaty bubble of magic!
  38. >You hate it when people pull that shit on you, it’s such a dick move.
  39. >”Well, it sure is a feisty critter.”
  40. >You stop waving your limbs and try to look down at the ground.
  41. >The voice seemed to have come from an orange horse-person who’s wearing saddlebags and an odd hat.
  42. >It sorta reminds you of Malon and Romani, for some reason.
  43. >A purple horse-person nearby, with a glowing horn sticking out of its forehead, turns to the orange one and speaks.
  44. >”Yes, I don’t know what she could have been thinking, to just let it run around like that.”
  45. >Wait, are they talking about you? And who is “she”, exactly?
  46. >A quiet flapping near your head makes you look up from the two horse-people standing below you.
  47. GAH!
  48. >There’s a winged blue one with a rainbow mane and tail hovering just a foot in front of your face, looking at you skeptically.
  49. >Shit, you were not expecting that.
  50. >”Soooo, what the buck is it anyway, some kinda green-furred Diamond Dog or something?”
  51. HYAAH!
  52. >You swipe your sword in frustration, barely missing the creature as it quickly flies out of range.
  53. >”Woah!”
  54. >”Dash, be careful! Whatever it is, it’s not in a good mood.”
  55. >Well no shit, freaky purple horse lady, being magically held in the air against one’s will has that effect on people!
  56. >”Probably oughta take that thing away from it before it hurts somep0ny, Twahlight.”
  57. >”Ah, good point, Applejack.”
  58. >You look down at the two on the ground again, raising an eyebrow.
  59. >Hurts some-whatty, now?
  60. >You notice the horn on the one called “Twilight” is glowing a little brighter, what’s up with tha-OH SHIT YOUR SWORD
  61. GYEEH?!
  62. >You feel it being jerked from your grasp, and before you can even look to see what happened it’s already floating down in a little purple cloud of magic.
  63. >It lands in one of “Applejack”s saddlebags and the magic dissipates, accompanied by a dimming in the glow around Twilight’s horn.
  64. >You glare at her with realization.
  65. >Okay, you get how this works now.
  66. >It is ON, bitches.
  67.  
  68. >You take a quick glance into your inventory, beginning to form a strategy.
  69. >”Could you hold onto that for a while, Applejack?”
  70. >”Sure thing, sugarcube.”
  71. >”Oh, oh, I’ll carry it Twili-“
  72. >Both of the earthbound horse-people interrupt the flier at once.
  73. >”NO, Rainbow Dash.”
  74. >”Aww, but it looks so coo-”
  75. >”NO.”
  76. >You look over and smirk at “Rainbow Dash”, who responds by folding her arms, err, forelegs, and sticking her tongue out.
  77. >Twilight giggles quietly, and starts to walk away toward where you had left Epona.
  78. >You float along in the air behind her, held up by her cheap-ass magic.
  79. >”Come on girls, let’s see if our visitor has an explanation for why she set this thing loose.”
  80. >You frown as the other two begin following her. Again with this “she”, who is “she”? And YOU’RE the visitor here, what are they even talking abou-
  81. >You look up ahead of Twilight, and see that three other horse-people are gathered around Epona, trying to talk to her while she nonchalantly noses at the ground.
  82. >are you fucking serious
  83. Uuugh…
  84. >You rub your head, this is just becoming stupid.
  85. >You have to get out of here.
  86. >At least Twilight is unwittingly helping you, for the time being.
  87. >You just hope your plan works.
  88. >As you draw closer you can hear the other three in “conversation” with Epona.
  89. >”Darling, please, there’s no need to be shy, we’re all friends here…”
  90. >”Um, you can be shy if you want, though. I mean, I understand, I’m kind of like that all the time… why don’t we just give her a minute to…”
  91. >”A MINUTE? Fluttershy, we’ve been here almost FIVE minutes and she hasn’t said ANYTHING! She hasn’t even told us her name!”
  92. >The pink one, who seems even more unhinged than all the rest, raises onto her hind legs to stand in front of Epona.
  93. >She leans in and puts her hooves on Epona’s muzzle, looking worried as she pulls their faces so close together that their eyeballs are almost touching.
  94. >”How are we supposed to be friends if I don’t even know her NAME? What am I supposed to do for the welcome party? What will I write on the banners and the cake and the balloons? ‘Welcome to Ponyville, Quiet Nameless Pony!’? Won’t that look silly? I mean I like to be silly sometimes, okay a lot of the time, but really that’s almost too silly! Oh and what the hay is that weird thing?”
  95. >Suddenly her face is a few inches in front of yours, staring at you curiously.
  96. >SHIT, YOU WERE DEFINITELY NOT EXPECTING THAT.
  97. AAAAAAAAAAHHH!
  98. >”AAAAAAAAAHHH!”
  99. AAAAAAAAAHHH!
  100. >As quick as she came she disappears from sight, her head popping out a moment later from behind Fluttershy.
  101. >What kind of Goddess-forsaken realm IS this?!
  102. >Fluttershy looks up at you, eyes widening as she lets out a soft “eep!” and zips around to hide behind the pink one.
  103. >The white one with the purple mane simply tilts her head, wearing a look of mild disgust.
  104. >”Oh… oh my…”
  105. >Twilight sighs, using her diabolical horny magic to float you over closer to the group and Epona.
  106. >Yes, yes, that’s it, come on…
  107. >”Well Pinkie, we were hoping our new friend here could tell us that, among other things.”
  108. >The marshmallow horse-person turns to Twilight, shrugging.
  109. >”I don’t know if that will be happening, Twilight, our ‘friend’ is even less talkative than Fluttershy-“
  110. >”Meep...!”
  111. >”-in fact her attitude is beginning to border on just plain rudeness, if you ask me.”
  112. >Fluttershy pokes her head cautiously from behind Pinkie.
  113. >”Uhh, I don’t know, Rarity, I don’t think she’s being rude… I’m, um, not even sure if she’s being shy, I think something may be wrong with her…”
  114. >”Well I’D SAY something is wrong with her!”
  115. >In a flash, Pinkie is sitting on Epona’s back, leaving Fluttershy exposed for a second before she eeps and runs behind Applejack.
  116. >Pinkie leans forward against Epona’s neck, reaching her forehooves up to point at her eyes and muzzle.
  117. >”I mean I don’t want to be rude or anything but she’s got super small eyes and her face is really, REALLY long!”
  118. >And now she’s standing on all fours at Epona’s side, pointing to her flank.
  119. >”And she doesn’t have a cutie mark, even though going by size she’s obviously old enough to have one by now!”
  120. >What the hell is a cutie… oh. She must be referring to the tattoos that all six of them have on their flanks.
  121. >You hadn’t really noticed those yet because THIS PLACE IS FUCKING INSANE AND MAKES NO SENSE
  122. >Case in point, Pinkie is now standing next to Twilight without you being entirely sure how she got there, rubbing her chin and squinting at Epona in concentration.
  123. >Fuck this shit.
  124. >”At first I thought maybe she was a big donkey, but for some reason I’m almost POSITIVE she’s a pony, so I don’t really know wh-“
  125. [spoiler]She’s a horse[/spoiler]
  126. >All six of the horse-girls rapidly turn their heads to look at you, dumbfounded.
  127. >You are a boy of few words, but you know when it is time for you to say something.
  128.  
  129. >For example, when you’re ready to execute your CUNNING PLAN TO ESCAPE FROM CRAZY HORSE TOWN.
  130. >Faster than lightning you pull a Deku Nut from your inventory and fling it directly downwards amongst your captors.
  131. HAH!
  132. >You shield your eyes briefly, being the only one to anticipate the blinding flash that follows.
  133. >”Ahhh!”
  134. >”Eeep!”
  135. >”The hay-?!”
  136. >”Oh my!”
  137. >”Augh!” *crash*
  138. >”Wah! Hehe, firecrackers!”
  139. >Just as planned, the accursed magic holding you in the air sputters out and you drop downwards.
  140. >You hit the ground and roll, already grasping a Deku Stick as you stand up amongst the stunned group and whirl around.
  141. HYAAAAAAHHH!!!
  142. >Spinning in a circle, you swing out with the Deku Stick and give each of them a solid blow to the skull.
  143. >thunkthunkthunkthunkthunkrak
  144. >The wood splinters and breaks in two as it knocks down your final opponent.
  145. >The five of them fall to the ground in a daze, holding their heads and groaning.
  146. >You quickly grab your sword from Applejack’s saddlebag, lifting it above you triumphantly and gazing in wonder upon its pointy sharpness.
  147.  
  148. ♫ DUH-NUH-NUH-NAAAH! ♫
  149.  
  150. >You just reclaimed your [spoiler][/spoiler]Gilded Sword
  151. >from a bunch of screwy horse-people!
  152. >Now get the fuck out of there!
  153.  
  154. >Will do!
  155. >You jump up onto Epona’s back and [spoiler]smack the living hell out of her flank[/spoiler]>GIVE HER ALL OF YOUR CARROTS.
  156. >ALL OF THEM.
  157. >With a loud neigh she sprints off, and the two of you barrel through the streets, horse-people screaming and scattering out of your way.
  158. >Crossing a short bridge, you clear the outskirts of the horse-people’s settlement as Epona gradually slows to a calm gallop.
  159. >Ha ha, you almost can’t believe that really worked!
  160. >Sure, you’re down by one Deku Nut and Stick, but you never use those stupid things anyway and still have a ton of them left.
  161. >You gaze up the road ahead of you at the castle in the distance, rising from a grand city built on the side of a mountain.
  162. >Hopefully it belongs to a less psychotic civilization than the one you just encountered...
  163. >Something behind you catches your attention.
  164. >A sound that reminds you of an arrow in flight, combined with an angry scream, rapidly getting louder.
  165. >What the hell IS that?
  166. >You turn around, looking back towards the town of wacky horse-people.
  167. >For a moment your vision is filled with all the colors of the rainbow.
  168. >But then there is pain, and your vision is filled with darkness.
