Chapter 8 >You are running >You are on a beach. The sun is setting over the horizon casting red glow up on the sky. >Why are you running? >You’re having a Weathering Heights moment. >”Anon!” the girl shouts. >She has dark hair, and big purple eyes. >You hug. >She’s crying. >Girl: “No no no, can’t you help him?” “What are you talking about? Help who?” >???: “I’m sorry but there isn’t anything we can do to save him. His wounds are healing but his mind is most likely damaged beyond repair.” >Who said that? >You turn around. >Nothing. >Only the beach and seagull. >You turn back to the girl. “Don’t worry.” >You kiss her tears. >Girl: “But I… You can’t turn him off.” >???: “We don’t know anything about his anatomy, we don’t know how he works, we can’t save him.” >You turn around again. >Seagull: “It’s a waste of time we are only prolonging his pain.” >Okay the seagull just talked. >… >Wat? >Girl: “O-okay… Can I have a moment alone with him?” >The seagull nods and flies away. >Girl: “Please Anon… wake up.” >She is crying again. >A few raindrops hit your head. >You look up. >Clear skies. >Girl: “If you don’t you will die.” >More rain drops hit your head. >Girl: “I don’t want to lose you.” >She sounds a bit like Twilight. >Wait a second. >Twilight. >You were fighting some demon dog sprite thingy. >How did you get to a beach? >Talking seagulls and rain from a cloudless sky. >… >This is a dream! >Girl: “Please just wake up.”     >You open your eyes. >Twi: “Doctor… I’m ready.” >Twilight. >You try to sit up but the pain is too much. >Doc: “Okay Twilight, he won’t feel a thing.” >You hear some hoofsteps. >Twi: “Goodbye Anonymous.” She manages to say between loud sobs. >Wait are they killing you? >Holy shit they are killing you! “Hey, no, wait, stop, I’m awake, I’m awake!” >Twi: “ANON!” >She hops up on the bed and hugs you. >You would run your hands through her mane but it hurts when you move. “Twilight, it hurts.” >Twi: “Oh.” She jumps down from the bed and mumbles a ´sorry`. >She’s trying to hide it but you can see her blushing furiously. >Understandable. “Are you alright?” >Twi: “Yes, I am, but Dash is still in the hospital too. She broke her wing and two of her legs.” >Poor Rainbro. “You should go see her, tell her I’m awake.” >Twi: “But you just woke up.” “About that, how long was I out?” >Twi: “Almost a month.” >Twilight leaves but comes back ten minutes later. >She is way too caring for her own good sometimes. >The two of you talk for a few hours before she leaves for good. >At about six the doctor comes and asks you about how to fix your body. >They did everything correctly but they didn’t know if any of your organs were damaged. >It doesn’t take long before sleep finds you.   >The next day… Day 58 in Equestria. >You are awoken by Pinkie Pie who came with breakfast for you. >You thank her as the hospital food is horrible. >You enjoy hearing her talk while you eat. >PP: “And Big Mac just got a new wagon, it’s really, really nice, it’s made of oak. It looks a lot like his old wagon, but this one has reinforced wheels so it can carry more.” >Mostly stuff you couldn’t care less about but once in a while she does in fact say something useful. >PP: “He uses it to carry apples over to the market where Applejack sells them. Oh! I forgot to tell you! Applejacks parents visited while you were sleeping.” >Applejacks parents? >From what you heard they don’t come by P0nyville often. >PP: “I also brought a board game I thought we could play.” >Pinkie pulls a board game out of nowhere and places it on your lap. >You don’t want to tell her it hurts like hell. >So you just play with her. >She won three times in a row. >You can’t understand these rules. >This is like Monopoly but without the commercial aspect. >You have to be nice to p0nies. >´Get your own money asshole` >PP: “You really aren’t that good at this game Anon.” Pinkie laughs. >No fucking shit! >PP: “Do you maybe want to play something else?” >You sigh. “Sure.” >This game is a lot heavier. >You have to build a maze of some sort. >Okay you can do this. >… >Nope. >What represents the ´mouse` is actually supposed the get the cheese. >This is so weird. >You know a much better game. “Pinkie, do you think you can get me like a grid of 8/8 black and white squares and some wood and a knife?”   >After Pinkie left you alone after whipping the floor with you over and over Applejack and Fluttershy came by. >They brought you some ´get well soon` apple pies. >After talking to them you found out that the house you and that demon wrecked was indeed your newly finished house. >You were about to explode in a burst of rage, before they told you that they renovated and improved your house. >You politely ask Applejack about the business and Fluttershy about the animals. >It’s not like you give a shit, but sometimes it feels good to be polite. >They say their goodbyes and leave you alone with your thoughts. >You have to get some better combat magic should this Carnage guy appear. >You’ve had nothing on your mind since you woke up. >You can’t protect your friends if a demon lord decides to wreak havoc across Equestria. >Now is the time to study. >You’ll ask Twilight for the Grimoire next time she visits you. >You run a hand down your chin as you get ready to sleep. >You need to shave.   >Day 62 in Equestria. >It’s been five days since you woke up. >You can’t take it anymore. >You need to get out. >You need to move. >You need to practise magic! >Theory is so incredibly boring. >The only magic you’ve been able to train here is healing and telekinesis. >Moving pieces of confection to your mouth doesn’t help you get better at magic, it only adds to your weight. >But this pie is so fucking good! >You take another bite. “That’s enough for now.” You decide. >You pic the book back up and continue reading. >After rereading the chapter on ´Cryomancy` a couple of times you try cooling a glass of water. >Ice, ice baby! >Fucking progress at last. >You place the glass on the small table beside you. >For once you actually wish Pinkie Pie was here. >You finished the chess board. >You are without an opponent and you are not one of those crazy types who play chess with themselves. >The pain is almost gone now so it won’t be long before you can get out of your own room and visit your bro. >The two of you have ben pen-pals the last couple of days. >Rainbow got Nurse Redheart to pass notes along between you. >Speak of the devil. “Hi Redheart.” >NR: “Hello Anonymous. Are you feeling better?” “A lot, I might be leaving you soon.” >You let out a lively chuckle but your sides hurts from it. >The winching and hand on the side doesn’t exactly help emphasize your point. >NR: “Maybe you should wait a few more days.” >She places some food on your lap. >NR: “Do you have a note for Ms. Dash?” “Yeah.” >You hand her a little letter. >NR: “She is really looking forward to seeing you again Anonymous.” >You smirk. >Of course she is, she’s the best bro ever. >NR: “She always talks about you when I give her your notes.”   >Later than day Twilight visits you. >You try to stand up a little. >The leg Egriy stepped on is still hurting a lot when you apply weight on it. >You limp around a little before you sit back on your bed. >Twilight points over at the little table. >Twi: “What is that?” >She levitates the chessboard over. “That is a game from Earth, it is called ´Chess`” >Twi: “Cool, will you teach me how to play?” >After three hours Twilights knight takes your queen. >You are check mate. >You are tired of losing. “Wow Twilight you are a natural.” >Twi: “Thanks Anon, do you want to play again.” “Nah, I’ve had my ass kicked enough for today.” >There is a moment of silence before Twilight changes the subject. >Twi: “So I’ve looked through some of my books and I found a few entries in ´The Basics of Tartarus` apparently he is a greater demon raised to the ranks of lordship.” “The lord of destruction and bloodshed as the sprite put it.” >Twi: “Exactly, he rules a large portion of Tartarus just like many of the other demon lords.”  “Is it possible for a demon lord to enter this world?” >Twi: “Well if it’s possible for you, I guess it’s possible for anyp0ny.” “If he comes we will be ready.” >Twilight lets out a little chuckle at this. >Twi: “Maybe you should get well first.” >She hugs you. >She is still hugging you… >Damn this is getting awkward. >She finally releases you. >Twi: “Good bye Anon I’ll see you tomorrow.” >After she leaves you lay back in your bed.   >Twi: “Rarity what in the name of Celestia are you wearing?” >Rarity is here? >Rar: “Oh that’s nothing Twilight, I am just going to help Anonymous get better.” >How sweet of her… >HOLY SHIT! >http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbBi2j_HLTc >Rarity is wearing a pink nurse outfit so small it would only fit a filly. >Where is that music coming from? >Twi: “Do you need any help Rarity?” >Rar: “No thanks just head on home I think Anon needs to relax I little.” >Oh god. >Twi: “Okay I’ll see you tomorrow Anon.” >Don’t leave. >Please. >Rar: “Okay Anon let us take a look at you.” >She winks at you and slowly walks over to your bed making sure to swing her rear as much as possible. >Rar: “Now just lie still and let Nurse Rarity take good care of you.” >She crawls onto the bed and places her ear right over your heart. >Rar: “Oh my! Your heartbeat is going way to slow I have to speed it up!...” >She runs hear hoof circles on your chest. >Rar: “But how?” >You feel a certain sensation between your legs. >Stop it. >Stop what? >You know what I’m talking about dick. >I have no Idea. >You will stand down Private! >Stand? Okay, I can do that. >Damn you boner! >Rar: “Maybe if we did some… Exercises?” >Rarity slowly moves down your body. >Rar: “Oh my.” >She sees the bulge in the bed sheets. >You have to stop this right now. “Rarity I’m really not in the mood for this.” >Rar: “Really now?” >She runs a hoof over your erection. >Rar: “Let the nurse do her job.” >Just as she is about to pull down the sheets the two of you are interrupted. >NR: “It’s getting late I will have to ask all visitors to leave.” >She enters the room and just stands there dumbstruck. >Yes! “Rarity was just about to leave.” >She does so. >While shaking her rump of course. >NR: “What was that about?” >You lie on your side and hide the awkward boner under the bed sheets. “Rarity has been acting like this ever since I got here.” >Redheart just shrugs and walks out of the room. >You need to get out of this hospital.
