>You're Anonymous(This is in the present.) >And this Pain is unbearable >You look down; to see the red stains on the carpet; also to see your blood flowing out of the humongous,deep wound you just got.. >You knew it was going to end this way. >As you look forward to the door; knowing they're on their way; you know what they'll find. It seems they might be too late. ====== >As you walk your way to sugar cube corner; your sword over your shoulder; like you always carry it. >As you walk in; you're greeted by 6 ponies and a dragon. >"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" all say at once >Oh yeah;you did mention your birthday was tomorrow- or today.. which ever is correct. >"Indeed; you did."says a regal voice; coming through the door. "P-princess Celestia!" >You rush in for an embrace; as the princess is your very mentor; enhancing your already "mastered" skills.. >"Hello there; Anon.."she replies as she hugs you back; slightly blushing >You notice things like this; which makes you think Celestia m-maybe... >"Let's get this party started!"pinkie says- and streamers and music comes on; breaking your train of thought. "Alright; Pinkie I hope the cake you baked was chocolate!" >"Yep! I know you like chocolate; because I know what everyp0ny likes!" "Of course you do; Pinkie." >Rarity walks up to you; "Happy birthday Anon; I even made a new shirt for you!" >Shirts for your birthday? Even here man... Even here... "Thanks Rarity!" >You put it on; it doesn't look bad- it's black with a picture of a rune you cast that summer sun celebration. >Ah.. Everyone loved it; it was a mixture of fire; ice; water; and grass. >After the rune disappeared; it sent up grass- which lit on fire; turned into water; and froze into ice. >Didn't you mention you can create runes; while being an expert at wielding a sword? >Yeah...your memory is pretty wild. >You catch Celestia at points.. Trying to make a move on you? Eh; you make nothing of it; you're too busy having fun with Pinkie pie; trying to catch up with her. >By the time you go to your house; you fall asleep on your floor. ==== >The sun is staring at you with a smile. >Well; not literally; but if the 'Sun' was actually here; I bet she'd be staring at you with her warm gaze... >You shake your head at the thought. There's no way that would happen. >So you get up to make some breakfast. >You get some eggs and... and... B-bacon! >Bacon is a long lost delicacy in this world. >You could only get it if you went to griffon territory; and they certainly didn't like you. >Thank god for Fluttershy's gift. >As you finish your breakfast; there's a 'knock' at the door. It's Twilight. >"Heyy, Anon... Did you like your birthday party?" "Yep; it was the best one yet!" >"Hehe; well Pinkie is really good at throwing parties; I remember that welcome one she threw for me." >"Well; I actually came to you because I need to go to the Everfree." "Ah; let me get my stuff then." >You pack up some potions- and of course your sword. "Alrighty; I'm ready." >"Great! Lets go." >As you walk into the everfree; you remember that first time you fought that Manticore in here. >God that was one hell of a fight. >You've fought tougher creatures; but that tail... >That >Fucking >Tail. >It got you countless times >That was when you were first here; about a year and 2 months? >Life's been good around he- >Your train of thought is ended by the clap of thunder and Twilight's voice >"ANON?!" >"ANON WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" "H-huh?" >Just then you notice how it's hailing AND raining. >Oh not to mention it's thundering and the wind is kicking up. "G-gah; what's happening?!" >"I think a tornado is going to start.. I had planned everything out there wasn't any warning by the pegasi! "Don't worry. I got this covered." >You cast a resistance rune. >This rune casts resistance to wind specifically. >Thank Celestia for teaching you stuff like this. "We better go to a cave near-by." >"Good Idea..."
