Chapter 1: Meet Cobalt Shard.
Equestria City...More Specifically one of the trams that an airport has
I arrived at my destination on the tram, I stretched my rather muscular body, my body seemed to internally screamed with soreness and pain, I shrugged it off as I got off my tram seat, luckily, it was rather late at night, so there wasn't a lot of people bothering me with their small talk, such small talk is unneeded, or at least I believe it is unneeded. I picked up my old and sodden duffel bag, it didn't look pretty, but it was big and contained everything I need, my bible, my clothes, my money, and my pass...
I got off of the tram, being the only person at the station, I yawned loudly, not bothering to be polite like I usually am, this is probably largely due to the fact that no one's here, I quickly noticed that my black hair was frizzled and a bit greasy, maybe not taking a shower for a couple of days can make you feel like a dirty wreck with hair shinier than gold.
Nevertheless, I went on my merry way to where I'm supposed to go, my associates and my boss decided to relocate me to this weird town, I expect the reason for my relocation is probably due to the same reasons beforehand, but maybe, just maybe, my boss felt bad that I didn't get my full four years of highschool, so he decided to enroll me to Canterlot High as a junior with me not asking any questions for I know he has good reasons or so.
I went outside of the airport, I sighed rather loudly, waiting for my assigned cab to notice only me outside, it wasn't like any other cab, it was black so it can blend into the midnight light, it honked at me, causing me to slightly jump in surprise, I wasn't expecting a honk of the horn if I was the only person there, nevertheless I opened the door of the cab, the cab driver nodded as I entered into the back seat of the car.
"Where too Cobalt Shard?" The Cab Driver said with a snarky tone, I ignored him but only spoke a single sentence.
"The place I'm staying at..." I responded, the Cab Driver laughed in response, finding my honest response as a joke rather than the truth.
"You know, this place isn't like Japan right?" The Cab Driver said as he started to drive, I ignored him, wanting to look outside of the window rather than anything else, not really seeing a lot due to the darkness. Wanting to pass the time I answered my Cab Driver.
"It isn't, did you read about this town?" I asked to the Cab Driver. Mentally insulting myself for my chipped English, sounding a bit nervous despite this cool and calm environment.
"From what I believe, there's a big farm all dedicated to apples, Canterlot High is the only school in the city, the rest is in state and in the more rural areas, so Canterlot is the wealthiest school there is in the state, theirs good food, legal girls and high education value, but who cares about that anyway?" I nodded as I listened intently, wanting to know more about the school I going to be in but not listening to useless info such as the food and the...girls...
"Heard there is a lot of good food here too..." The Cab Driver said, once again I nodded in response, feeling the lag due to long extensive hours in a jet.
"You don't seem to like talking, don't you?" The Cab Driver said, this time with an honest tone of hurt in his voice. I sighed loudly and simply said.
"I don't..." Sure it was counteracting with the Cab Driver's claim, but then again, I honestly don't like talking, it is better to use actions rather than words for your words can lead people to think of a different emotion than what you're truly feeling.
"Well, you better get used to talking, in Virginia there's no such thing as punishments for not blindly following your higher ups, you actually have some free will here, meaning you have the right to say some more words than yes or no, unlike in Japan." The Cab Driver to try to lighten up the mood with his false information, something that legitimately yet silently pissed me off, for I despise snobbish people who believes they know things that they clearly don't know of.
We didn't speak until I finally arrived at my destination, it was a quiet and somewhat small house that is perfect for a young couple that at the edge of the neighborhood, probably better for single old me, after I paid the Cab Driver and thanked him for driving me despite the hour of the night ( and despite his somewhat rude way of speaking), I entered into my new home for the time being, it was well furnished, I was genuinely surprised that my boss actually got me some furniture to go along with the house, it had a rather nice kitchen, nice bathroom, and a king-sized bed , I silently smiled to myself, this is probably a symbol that my boss appreciates my worth, which honestly and strangely, gives me pleasure.
It even has a television in the living room, it's rather nice, but this house still feels like that it was furnished for a couple and not me, more for a young adult woman and a young adult man, not Cobalt Shard , a person with a rather muscular built and of both American and Japanese descent, a person that likes to procrastinate with professional wrestling and video games that melt your brain, and a person who doesn't want to be in a relationship of any kind. Or at least I don't want to be in a relationship right now when I have a fairly important job.
Due to how stressful and secretive my job can be, I'm a loner, both out of choice and out of reason, I don't like talking to other people, I don't like talking to girls near my age specifically, I don't exactly know why, but I falter when I speak to other people, I struggle to say the right words I want to say, especially with a physically attractive girl, so that's why I stay isolated from everyone else in the social structure, not wanting to accidentally insult someone through my bad wordplay when I interact with everyone except my boss, and myself.
So basically, I'm a professional wrestling gamer with an inability to connect to other people in a social way, who also fights monsters, it's rather strange, fighting monsters is sort of my job, killing them is sort of my job, and I enjoy it thoroughly. I mean, I'm no Achilles, I'm a Christian, I don't seek bloodshed and I don't like killing, but think of me like an mixed martial arts fighter, I'm getting paid to hurt others, so you'd got to learn to adapt to enjoy the death of one's enemies.
It was Saturday and I had to thank to god for that, it's midnight and I just want to rest so I went to sleep, with the clothes on my back and without the desire nor motivation to make me unpack right after I arrived in my new temporary home, I honestly didn't bring myself to even have a plan for tomorrow, its going to be my first day living here, in the suburbs of Virginia, helping my boss in this super-secret mission for me that involves undead monsters that were formely humans and me being a super hero essentially and beating them or stabbing them to death with a sword.
I sighed to myself, if this wasn't a life of oddity and strangeness, I don't know what is.
