entry 3
I was laying in a bed in the house above a forge as a earth Brown Pegasus Pony treated my wounds Rusty was on the bed acrossed from me her leg completely healed and a few bumps and bruises.But other than that completely fine she looked at me with worry as I wrote in my journal with my left wing as I wrote today's events with great pain.
the day started out normally I woke up at 10 p.m. and got up and looked around seeing that I was inside a tent as the previous day's events flooded back to me. looking over to the sleeping filly her chest Rising slowly showing she was still asleep and he walked over to her pushing her awake.
" wake up Rusty the early bird gets the worm" he said and pushed her more
" go away I ain't no bird and I don't want any worms " she said
I scooped her up and groaned as he put her on my back and trotted out of the tent before putting her before putting her on the ground. I walked over to the tent and started to break it down and packed it up looking up at the sky it was already night time outside. I trots to the falls and puts Rusty down next to them and she opens her eyes hearing the water and drinking some as I gets some to drink to.
" rusty your so lazy "* I giggled seeing the filly stretch her neck to drink of the water
" sut up" she said her mouth full of the precious life giving liquid
" yaya but you are just admit it " I teased
" as soon as you admit you like lilly " she shot back teasingly
" i dont i mean not in that way shes like a sister " I said blushing
" right now " she laughed
" ugh " he groaned and scooped her up putting her on his back
I trotted towards Manehattan the next place was hollow shades a forest that had Timberwolves in it. I didn't want to go through the tunnel because of the train and the other way was Uncharted hills that I was unwilling to take a filly into. I started to hike to the top of neighagra Falls so I can have a good overview of where I was going but of course it was strain on my legs with a filly on my back and full body armor on me but at least the view was beautiful. nearby water cascaded around us as we trekked up the slopes climbing up to a higher area but slipped half way up. the slick grass making me slide down to the bottom as he turned to see where he was going.
" weeeee this is fun " rusty laughed as we slid down the slope and i guess when I saw what was coming up
" rusty! hold on" I said and stread my wings as there was a dip infront of us and we slid down it
my eyes widen when I saw what's at the bottom. the dip fell into a pool of water that had one of the falls Cascadeing into it.We slipped to the edge and I jumped flapping my wings Rising over the water and flew. rusty started to shiver slightly as I rose into the air before flying to the highest point of the falls. I have missed the feeling of flight the wind under my wings the air in my fur but my main goal was to keep rusty balanced on my back. shifting her slightly so she was a bit safer she grabbed my neck and held on for dear life scared.
" I won't drop you rusty " I said softly
" I know its just this is how I broke my leg last time"she said
" you fell of your mothers back?" I asked knowing its the mother fault if she did unless Rusty was goofing around
" yes but I was sleeping and I toss and turn a lot when I do" rusty said
I nodded knowing that Rusty does tossed and turn quite a lot until she's comfortable then she settles down until she's woken.
" and your mom?"I asked
" she was tired also more on autopilot to save energy"she said
I landed on the top of the falls looked down seeing Hollow shades and way in the distance our goal Manehattan. I took a step forward to see it better and slipped down the slope again.
" ahhh no not again "*I groaned as I skidded on my four hooves but this time I was able to turn myself pushing my right hoof out I turn left so we didn't fall into the waters below. my sight was blinded by mud and grass being kicked up and my limited vision was bad as my last second turns almost made us go over the edge to top it all off we both got extremely muddy and I felt grass sticking to me. but on top of me I could see Rusty sticking her hook up in the air looking very happy as we slid down the slope and came to a stop.
" again again round 2!" she said very muddy
" no not again" I said taking her off my back and dropping her into the water
" what why am i in the water" she asked looking very mad if looks could kill I would be very dead
" it's time to take a it's time to take a bath Rusty" I said and smiled
" BATH! oh no no no no no" she yelled and tried to get out but I grabbed her with my wings and put her back in
" calm down I'm just rinsing out all the mud" he said and started to wash her and she sat down looking very angry
it took a bit of time to rinse out the mud but after that it put her back on the shore. then then stepped into the water before washing off I didn't take my armor off because I wanted it to be quick cleaning myself up I grabbed Rusty and continue to walk to our goal Manehattan
I started back on the trail again and Rusty dozing off to get her 2 more hours of sleep she needed. during those two hours nothing big happened it was mostly quiet we passed a town or two but it wasn't anything big. I did buy some more apple and oranges with my savings using the last of it but that was it and I started back on the trail. at the two-and-a-half-hour Mark Rusty woke up and yawned looking around to where we were ahead of us was a forest to the north I could see neighagra falls to the South was foal mountains and of course ahead of us was Hollow shades.
" we are here hollow shades " I said
we walk into the Forest it was extremely dark and Shady and it made me extremely nervous it was about 1 o'clock am.
" oh oynx I can finally move my leg" said happily and jumped off my back taking off her brace she walked next to me normally
" that's good now you can stop being lazy" I teased
she huffed and kept trotting next to me *" ya right"
I laughed and trotted down the path but stopped as I heard a eerie howl and pinned my ears.
" oh no timber wolves " I said scooping her up and put her on my back before breaking out in a full gallop the sound of the Timberwolves running behind me only spurred me to go faster.
I panted as I wanted to fly but the Treetops cover was to thick and the Darkness was too much as I dodge trees at the last second. the howling kept happening and Rusty started to shake honestly I wanted to freeze but I had to keep going. I kept Galloping until I found myself face to face with the Rockwall and pushed Rusty on it
" climb Rusty" I yelled and pulled out my trainee sword
she didn't even argue and started to climb up the the wall getting hooked holds all the way up as I was face-to-face with a pack of 4 Timberwolves they look like Oak Timberwolves. the brown would wolves surrounded me and they Crescent Circle as I put my back against the wall and Rusty kept climbing. I sliced at 1 with my sword embedding The Sword and it's front right leg and I started to tug but of course the sword wouldn't come out.
" damn poorly made swords " I yelled and yanked up it somehow cut up the leg and cut a tooth out I frowned and looked at the wolf.
the other three wolves bite at me I was able to block two of the wolves with my wings but third wolf bit my leg in betting it's Fang in my leg making me yell in pain. I slap the other two Wolves and sliced the wolf that bit me on the head then felt a pain on my wing making me yell as I look beside me a good-sized rock roll to the ground. I swiped at the wolves in front of me making them back off and snarled as I look above me Rusty was hanging off the edge of the cliff and jumped to the top dragging herself over and panted
" its your turn!"rusty yelled
I nodded and turn around jump onto the rock wall starting to climb only to get my tail bitten.
" ow ow ow that is my tail!" I yelled
Rusty shot a beam of magic and the Timberwolf broke apart I went back to climbing not even caring what was happening below me. I saw red rays of light shoot by me knowing that Rusty was covering me I got to the top and panted scooping her up and started running again. the amount of pain rushing through me was nullified by the adrenaline as I put his sword back. I kept running until I finally got away and pants slowing down to a trot I looks forward and see some light speeding up he breaks at a full gallop towards it until I gets out of the Hollow shades
" ok next stop Manehattan " I said and limped on the road the adrenaline dying down and the pain sparking up
" oh Celestia your hurt oynx " rusty said and tried to heal me but it was nullified
" that won't work rusty magic don't affect me as i'm half dragon but that also means healing magic to so its good and bad " I expained limping
" so your completely magic what else?" she asked
" well fire and I take less damage from slice and blunt weapons but piercing damage affects me normally also any element but fire does to "* I expains limping
" how do you know this all?" rusty asked
" training in royal guard camp " i said and and staggered " but yet another thing to that list it seems biting ow the fangs go through my scales"
" you have scales " rusty asked in wonder and pushed against his fur feeling them
" ya they are thin and add a little more protection on top of my armor." I said
" so you're half dragon half pony?" she asked
" no half dragon half deer " I admitted
" oh don't worry your still my friend and savior" she said as we walked into Manehattan
The Morning Sun started to rise over the buildings as we walked into the big city and i sighed. now came the task of finding the address I started walking from residential area to residential area but found nothing.I sat on a bench in front of a forge about noon time eating an apple and Rusty was sitting next to me eating one also.
" Onyx behind us is my home" rusty said as she ate and looked at the forge it had an upper part for living
" what why didn't you tell me that" i asked and limped to the forge
" because I want to stay with you a little longer" she said and followed
" rusty I'll come to visit when i can but you need to get home your mother must be worried sick about you" I said and opened the door
I expected an earth pony and a Pegasus to be in the shop but what I did not expect what's a single earth Brown Pegasus to be maning the forge she was more black than brown because of stoot. she turned around and looked at us with a soft smile
" hello there how may I... oh my Celestia Rusty" she ran at Rusty and hug her pulling her tight to her chest " oh my baby i missed you"
" m-mom c-can breath" Rusty gasped for air
the Pegasus mare lightened her strength but did not stop hugging the filly. oynxwing smiled at the sight as the mare looked at him
" and who are you?" she asked " did you help my daughter"
" mother he was the reason I was able to get back. he carried me on his back while my leg was healing when it was broken. and he fought off some timber wolves " rusty said
" thank you i am ironhoof and for being my daughter back I'll nurse you back to health and build you a sword better than the one you have" she said proudly
" oh no i don't want to intrude"i said
" nonsense" she said and pushed him up the stairs passed her living room and dining room and into a bedroom there was two beds in it and he was laid on to one of them
" now just relax " she said as she went away
he relaxed and frowned knowing that he was in no condition to fight against it and looked at Rusty as she laid in the other bed and looked at me as iron hoof came back instead of putting some medicine on my wounds as I pulled out my journal and started to write in it
I closed my journal inside the medicine in full effect now and I finally finished my job Rusty was back home safe with her mother iron hoof who was crafting a sword for me she used two teeth that were embedded in me as some part of the sword but I would not know until she was done for what she had planned for them. I sighed and close my eyes letting myself fall into a fitful sleep hopefully tomorrow will not be as eventful oh how wrong I was
