Unmasked
Prologue
Edge "The Ranger" inside Everfree 11:56 pm
I sat there, in the trees, watching, ready to help at any sign of danger. I watched the white unicorn with the curled purple mane and the foal standing next to her, just talking. It made me smile under my gas mask and it made me remember when I was younger, with my mom. The sudden chorus of cracking twigs and the rustling in the bushes drew my attention, something was going down. The bloodcurdling howl of a Manticore followed by the screams of the two was ear drum shattering. I sprung into action. Shooting my Hoofhook to a sturdy branch and flipping my Hoofblade out of its sheath, I jumped. I streaked by the Manticore's back digging my blade in and across it, leaving a large laceration that dripped precious crimson. The Manticore swiped the air behind him, predicting the assailant to still be there. In unison with his swipe, its tail flailed behind it, hitting series of rocks. The rocks launched at the two but only hitting the mare, which knocked her unconscious. The foal was unharmed but in shock at the transpiring events. I landed in front of the two making sure the Manticore didn't have a chance at a snack.
"Here kitty, kitty, kitty want a treat?" I taunted the beast. The Manticore let out another roar before charging me.
I jumped, dodging the charge, onto its back and struggled to maintain balance on top of it, due to it flailing its mighty claws. It tried throwing me off but I had an iron grip. I Raised my blade and thrusted it into the beasts neck. Jab after jab, blow after blow, the beast's eyes rolled into the back of its head and collapsed forward just feet in front of the mare and foal. I stepped off of the Manticore, and rushed over to the Mare lying on the ground. The foal was nowhere to be seen, probably hiding. I knelt down beside the mare and took off my backpack, searching in it to find my first aid kit.
"Is… she going to be alright?" a voice called out behind me. It was the foal, I turned around to face her but she jumped back in fright. Probably due to the gas mask I keep on my face.
"No need to be afraid, she going to be just fine. She's not dead she's just unconscious." I beckoned her over. I opened my first aid kit and pulled out a alcohol swab. I disinfected the area and reached into the kit again pullingg out gauze. "Hold your hoof here for a second, I need to get tape and bandages." The filly did so and I retrieved the items. I wrapped the long bandage around her head and put a piece of tape over the loose end of the bandage. "Thank you for your help, might I ask what a Mare and a little Filly are doingout here?" I asked puzzled
"I'm not little!" she testified. I chucked.
"My mistake, now, would you like me to take you two home?" I asked. The foal nodded. I picked up the mare and hoisted her onto my back, and then I hoisted the foal onto my back.
"Wow! You're strong!" the foal said in amazement. "You can carry me, my sister, and your pack?" I nodded at the foal's acknowledgement. "I'm Sweetie Belle by the way, and this is my big sister Rarity."
I emerged from the thick brush of the Everfree Forest, examining the town that lie ahead. "Point me in the direction, please." I said to the newly acquainted Sweetie Belle.
"Ok um… That way! Do you see that carousel looking house? That's it!" she pointed out a cylinder like house with a spire for a roof.
I walked in towards the house through the fields, listening to the crickets chirp in the spring night. I came to a stretch of road with houses leading down towards my objective. The sounds of the crickets were all I heard. The lamps illuminated the dark streets which were unoccupied by any living creature. It was peaceful, serene, and calm. It reminded me of my town and how simple life was back then. I relished at the thought of being home again as a foal. I finally reached the carousel looking house. Sweetie Belle opened the front door and led me to Rarity's room. I laid her down on her bed and put her covers over her. Rarity seemed so peaceful this way almost like an angel. Sweetie Belle stood in the doorway, I approached her.
"Call your family and a doctor in the morning to check for any brain damage." I said to her. She nodded and went to her room. I left the house that night with another task ahead, finding my parents.
I know it might seem short but come on! I'm not sure when I'm uploading again but I hope it will be soon!
