>"It's ok if you can't do magic, Anon."
>"You are just a human after all."
>"Nobody expects anything like that out of you."
>"Just leave the hero work to us. We'll bring you back a souvenir."
"But Twilight its always like this, let me help you, just this time at least, I will never bother you again, Pinkie promise"
>"Anon you re an endangered specimen, cant have you roaming free in dangerous times like this"
"So you mean I m just going to be put into a cage 'for my safety' whenever you feel like?"
>"Well, tell me something, what could you do to help us?"
"What do you mean?"
>"Oh, you know, the simple stuff, like Applejack, who can send rocks 100 times her weight flying with a mere kick"
>"Or maybe like Rainbow Dash, flying so fast she can create tornados all on her on"
>"Then there s Rarity, who s mostly dead weight but her sweet talk helps a lot"
>"And lets not forget Pinkie with her...Pinkie...thing"
>"Or Fluttershy, who can...do whatever she does and control pretty much any creature"
>You involuntarily shiver, remembering the one time Fluttershy used her stare on you
>It doesnt goes unnoticed on the alicorn who goes on
>"And lastly there s me, who can teleport all the way to Canterlot and back, heal deadly wounds and literally destroy every atom of your body with a single thought, all the while without breaking a sweat"
>She stops and keeps looking at you with a smug ass grin before going on
>"So I ll ask again, what can you do? Isnt it better to stay safe inside the castle instead?"
"Actually Twilight, there is one thing I can do"
>"Oh yea? Do show me"
>Not wasting a beat you point to the ceiling and the mare follows
>"Anon, there s nothing there, trickery like that wont work in dangerous situations silly"
"Huh? No Twi, its my finger, that s my weapon of choice"
>With a sigh, she steps forward and get into arms range
>"Anon, I bet you must be craving to get into any adventure but-"
>She doesnt manage to finish as you boop her
>For a minute or two she just stands there, paralysed mid phrase with her mouth open and everything
>After a while she panics, running in circles while neighing, whinnying and various other panicked horse noises
>Slowly she gets hold of herself and you can see a fearful look into her eyes like you never seen before
>When she finally stops she quickly teleports away without saying a word
>And that s how you became the most powerful mercenary in Equestria
>Having dealt with a princess alone and survived to tell the history is sure to raise your reputation quickly
>You were just about to walk through the castle doors when Twilight teleported back with a massive cage in tow
>You didnt had any time to react as you were teleported inside of it, 'for your safety'
>Yet her fearful look from before didnt waver and for some reason she now kept her distance of you now
>Not like you could do anything to such a mighty princess right?
