>Five days ago, you were given the glorious invitation you have been waiting for.
>In the mail came an odd letter stating that you were chosen to live out your wildest dreams.
>Inside of this letter was a map, a map that lead to what you expected to be the big horse haven.
>Kinda like Jurassic Park but with gigantic ponies.
>The time of the monsterhorse was at hand.
>You bust open your piggy bank and made a dash for some backwater village in rural Europe.
>To your surprise, the trip wasn't actually that bad.
>In fact, it was quite a relaxing experience.
>Until you arrived at a strangely serene dock.
>You stepped out of the guide's truck, but as soon as you did; he slammed on the gas and drove like he had to use the can.
>Weird
>But what can you expect, this place gave you the heebie jeebies too.
>The cold wind blew and whispered.
>On the dock a lone, rugged looking motorboat danced with the movement of the current.
>You spotted a dead tree, and what appeared to be a torn note stuck to the trunk.
"Get into the boat please."
>The word please was scribbled all over the page, whoever this was; they were kinda clingy from what you could tell.
>But the path to big horse is paved with clingy people.
>And the map to big horse heaven kinda leads you through the lake anyway.
>Judgement and common sense were thrown right out the window, you wanted gigantic horses.
>So you hopped into the rickety boat and revved up the engine.
>For some reason, the boat had a locked cabinet; a salty odor came from within.
>"Ugh, whatever is making that smell should-"
>The tide quickly shifted into a violent tone.
>Water was being pushed up like a geyser.
>"D-did I just see a shark tail? Or maybe it was a whale or-"
>Somethin's rockin the boat, and it ain't a guppy.
>The current nearly made your boat capsize from the sheer force of it.
>Tension?
>That word would be an insult to this situation.
>Your knees were buckling, a small bead of sweat fell down your forehead.
>Only thing that was on your mind?
>Why in the blue hell did this have to happen when you're so close to Jurassic Pones?
>You could have had a heart attack before getting the letter, that would've been better than being a quick snack for whatever was stalking you.
>"Just gotta get out of here..."
>You attempted to rev the engine back up.
>One pull, two pull, three pull.
>Like it would be that easy.
>"No no no, of all the times for boats to betray me!"
>You slammed your fist against the motor like a caveman.
>Nah, it wasn't going anywhere.
>Neither were you.
>A quick tug of your seaworthy vehicle made your heart stop.
>The creature snagged itself onto your steel anchor.
>Ouch.
>"Ahh!"
>The impact made you stumble onto your butt.
>"Kind of rough, don't you think?"
>Not really the time for wise cracks you immediately thought.
>And now it was starting to pull the boat around the lake in the most careless manner you've ever seen.
>Guess you had to put your big boy pants on and buckle your...boatbelt? Because this ride was about to get bumpy.
>To and fro the boat was thrown, it seemed like the monster wasn't even aware of dragging it.
>Your boat stopped dead in its tracks.
>Maybe the monster bled out?
>That was one theory, and one that you were most in favor of.
>You looked around the lake, it was quiet.
>Out of the corner of your eye, four bright blue neon lights moved through the fog.
>"Damn damn damn...wait a sec!"
>The lights stopped moving after that remark
>Strange, maybe it bit it's tongue?
>"Whatever is in this, it's gotta be useful against this thing!"
>Breaking the damaged container was easy enough. A quick kick did it
>"Chips? What the hell!?"
>Bags upon bags of chips were inside of the demolished crate.
"CHIPS!?" An excited voice came from the mist.
>"What was that? Sounded like a.."
>The raging tide pushed through the surrounding fog.
>Four bright blue neon lights continued to inch closer and closer to you.
>A fifth light soon lit up, it was about ten times bigger than the others, and it was the closest to the water.
>It was rushing right at you.
>Hopefully it was allergic to salt.
>What were you on, it lived in the saltiest water in Europe.
>Well, better to have tried and died than cried and died.
>A loud popping noise came from the bag as you ripped it open in a worried frenzy.
>You reached into the bag, the salty particles of the contents sticking to your hand.
>With precise timing, and a pounding heart; you lobbed the crunchy chips into the monster's glowing maw.
>Surprisingly, it warded the creature off.
>At that time, at least.
>It frantically swerved around your boat after it caught the chips with a delightful look on its face.
>Delightful meaning less terrifying than it was five seconds ago.
>From the depths beneath your boat, an antenna popped out to your side.
>The neon light from the top of it was hypnotizing, it was so stunning...it was so beautiful.
>And it was sorta rude.
>Without warning, it pushed you down to the floor of the boat with an intense amount of brute force.
>Stuck on your back, another antenna thrust itself out of the water.
>This is it, it's over.
>Monster one, Anon zero.
>You started to say your prayers and were ready to meet your maker.
>The beast ascended from the water, it was eye level with you.
>Its muzzle was a few inches away from the very tip of your boat.
>Water dripped from its ears playfully.
>Getting back up to your feet wasn't really possible.
>Every time you rose up, it lowered it's head to nudge you back down to the boat's floor with one of its antenna.
"Boop!"
>"God just-"
"Boop!"
>"Swear to god, let me-"
"Boop!"
>This was really getting on your nerves.
>"Let me get-"
"Boopy!"
>Each time it pushed you down, it just laughed.
>"Seriously, this is getting old!"
"Beep!"
>It planted you down with authority, and laughed again.
>The size of the beast was mind boggling, its behavior even more so.
>Having a tough time getting to your feet, you decide it would be best to kick back at the mercy of the creature.
"Chips, mister?"
>"Wh-what?"
>It spoke with a sweet voice, sweeter than a fine chocolate cake.
"Chips, that's what I said."
>"Uh..."
>You froze up at that very moment.
>Did you hit your head too hard?
>Was this a sick trick?
>Even if it was, it was still a sight to behold.
>As you observed it down the salt ridden chips with glee, you thought it would be wise to remain quiet.
>Good move, a strange beast of this magnitude is the most unpredictable force ever thought of.
"Mmmhm I haven't had chips in a while!"
>A short belch soon followed, and just like that she finished the cargo that was left aboard your fine-ish vessel.
"I know you!" The excited beast cheered.
>"Y-you do?"
"Yep!"
>"Well, who am I-"
"You're uh..."
>"Who?"
"I 'unno, but all I know is; I'm so happy that you've come!"
>"What are you talking about?"
"Nobody's ever gotten into this little boat, even after I made those mean townspeople put a sign up." She placed the tip of her hoof onto the small boat and quickly took it off, sending the vessel into a slight bobbing frenzy.
>"You mean that note that says "enter the boat please please please"?"
"Oooh so it did work!" It clapped its hooves together in joy, splashing quite a bit of water into your face.
>This thing was odd, not in the bad way...but in the extremely quirky way.
>"So uhm, y-you got a name?"
"Uh...Seq- no no, erm....oh it's Orchid!"
>Took a bit, but she remembered.
>"You fumbled there for a sec, you must not get out much."
"I haven't talked to another living thing in so long!"
>"Well, when you attack whoever comes here-"
"What? I was just so excited to see you! I-I'm sorry..."
>You know, for a terrifying monster of nightmare; she's pretty harmless.
>"It's okay, I mean uh..."
>Conversing with this gigantic kaiju was harder than fighting it.
>"Look, the only reason I'm out here is because I need to get across the lake."
>The map was a tad waterlogged, when you showed it to Orchid you could see her majestic blue beams shining from the other side.
"Ooohh, that sounds fun! Is there treasure there?"
>"More than you could imagine."
"What kinda treasure?"
>"Gold, silver, gems..."
"That's not treasure, that's junk."
Orchid scrunched her muzzle and energetically shook her soaked mane out of her face.
>"What? Those things are very valuable!"
"Pfft, if they're sooo valuable, why is my bed made out of them?"
>"Y-you've got an entire bed of treasure!?" You rolled the damp map back up and put it back into your pocket.
"Well, yeah; what else am I gonna sleep on?"
>"Didn't even know you had to sleep...seeing as you're a monster" Not the brightest idea to call Orchid a monster, but hey; it was in the heat of the moment.
"A m-monster?" She sniffed and quickly looked away from you.
>Now you've done it, she's gonna eat you smart guy-
>Is she crying?
>"Uh Orchid?"
>Her sobbing wasn't very loud, but it echoed through your skull.
>Watching a kaiju cry wasn't fun.
>And she wouldn't stop crying, probably couldn't even hear you.
>It was time to man up.
>So you took your boat up to her side. At least a part of her upper body was topside along with her head.
>You could only think of one way you could get her attention and not get splashed out of existence.
>You rolled up to her side and extended your hand...
>Man, you were shaking like you've seen a ghost.
>It felt like time was moving slower.
>Your heart almost pounded completely out of your chest.
>Finally you made contact with Orchid's smooth skin.
>And did THAT ever get her attention...
"Eeeeeeeeeeee!"
>Orchid looked giddy, from what you saw. She screamed in joy.
>Until she bolted out of your reach and submerged herself in the dark void of the lake.
>Well, you guessed that you solved the situation.
>Now to get to Jurassic Pones.
>However, destiny had something else in mind.
>The water started to roar ferociously, the waves were beating your small speedboat silly.
>And the addition of more fog rolling in didn't help.
>You held on to whatever you could, hoping the lake wouldn't swallow you whole.
>The vessel twisted from left to right, the current smashing it enough for it to nearly wreck under the severe pelting of water.
>Water splashed into your eyes and mouth, the churning waves destroying the boat.
>The speedy vessel couldn't withstand anymore, it finally buckled under the beating.
>It overturned, and sent you flying overboard.
>Water, shivering cold water embraced your skin.
>You could swim, at least.
>"Swim back to the boat, push it back over and get the hell out of this lake..." You said under your breath.
>A plan is a plan, and well; yours was going to work.
>Until a certain kaiju slammed its horn straight through the overturned vessel, turning it into nothing but driftwood.
>"Perfect..."
>A large shadow formed underneath you in the darkness of the water.
>It was time to say your prayers and say goodbye cruel world...
