This fire
Chapter 3, Let hell loose or anger the devil

"Uuuuugh". My arms were heavy and I had a head ach like a vodka induced hangover. Not just heavy but cold…hmmmm chains?

"Ah, yes" Now I remember.

I opened my eyes to take in my surroundings but I was immediately met with darkness. My eyes soon got used to the darkness and from what I could tell.
I was in a dungeon cell.

It was mainly a dungeon to me because of the shackles and the solid iron door preventing my escape. And the fact that there's no furnint. Oh a bench.

I got up from my sat position on the cold ground and thankfully the chains had enough length to let me sit with my back to the wall. 'Damn it!' I need to get out of this place without going berserk and then get back to my world.

Then the sound of old metal whining met my ears and I shifted my gaze to meet my visitor. And I was met with a blinding light. "Ahem!, welcome to my humble abode!". I said with a warm, loud voice while spreading my arms out with a welcoming gesture.

"It speaks". A curious voice said aloud. The door closed. And now that the unwelcome light was shut off I could see my visitors. Easy to tell with the stone floor.

"That I do, now what can I do for ya?". The lavender one approached first. Only now did I actually take in there appearances. One was lavender another cyan and then white, yellow, pink and the last a dark yellow.

"Well for one we'd like to know what the hay you were doing on that hill". A southern American accented voice spoke. 'Ah I knew they would ask that sooner or later'.

"I was trying to find my way back". A took a moment of pause. "Like a wolf that has strayed from the pack". They all gave me a strange look.

"How were you going to get back by burning down half the land?". The cyan one spoke. Obviously sarcasm.

"Rage needs no reason". My voice went quite.

"What?" They all asked at once.

"You see when I get angry, I can't control myself and it's like I become a totally different person. That and along with the eyes and the hair".

"And the fire?". The lavender one asked.

"Fire?". I asked, she nodded. "Damn it all, now I need to keep my anger in check from now on". 'Fire, this was new. I wonder what else I could do with…..NO it's to dangerous'.

"Excuse me". That brought me back.

"Huh?".

"You looked like you were day dreaming". She seemed…concerned. Strange.

"Well I would be glad to discus this all over tea but as you can see". I raised my shackled hands. "I'm a prisoner".

"Oh no, that was just to make sure you weren't dangerous".

"It's alright" I reassured her. "I'd lock my self up every time I got angry if I could.

She gave me a look that held sadness. "So can I go?".

Snapping her out of her own daydream. "Of course, Dash". The cyan one approached me and now that I could actually see her I saw that she had wings. But with that aside, she had a key in her mouth which she inserted into each of the keyholes in my shackles. I stood at my full six foot tall glory.

"Wow I didn't notice how tall you were". The lavender one said slightly in awe while the others just seemed to watch. I walked to the door and pushed it open. The same blinding light filled my sight but I soon recovered and saw that my cell was a small structure near a huge castle. And from what I could tell, I was within its walls.

The castle had more of a palace tone to it. Less of a war ground and more of a place of peace. Ahead of me was a beautiful courtyard full of floral life and bright flowers.

"So, what's this place called?". I asked out loud.

"Equestria". A regal voice spoke. I looked around searching for the source of the voice. "Up here". It said again, so I looked up. And there hovering above me was a dark coloured pegasus that looked like a deity of the night.

"Oh, hey there". I waved.

"So your what was making all that noise. Hmmmmm" She swooped down and I could now see she was an alicorn and was very interested in…me.

"Yeah sorry about that, anger issues". I said light heartedly. 'If only it were that simple'.

"Well I hope you won't let that happen in the future, and where are my manners, I'm Luna". She smiled brightly.

"Luchiano or Luke for short". I gave a small smile back. And then I turned remembering my audience.

"So, what are your names?".

"Twilight, Sparkle". The lavender spoke.

"Rainbow, Dash". The cyan spoke.

"Rarity". The white spoke.

"Pinkie, Pie". The pink spoke
"F..Fluttershy". The yellow spoke

"Apple, Jack". The dark yellow spoke.

"Well it's nice to know all your names now". I turned to Luna. "So can I go?".

"Well my sister wants to speak to you first". 'Yeah I ain't getting out of here that easy'.

"Okay, lead the way". I gestured toward huge door which was no doubt the entrance. The castles interior was incredibly beautiful, though I prefer gothic architecture. But there was no doubt a feeling of peace here. Hell even being in that cell was one of the few stress free moments in my life.

The group of multi coloured….ponies?. Yeah ponies followed me through the castles halls. We passed numerous guards clad in golden armour, they simply watched me walk by but I couldn't help but feel like more than their eyes were on me. I ignored it.

We soon reached a wooden door. It had engravings which made it look quite beautiful and the shade of it lead me to believe it was oak. Luna then opened the door which moved quite gracefully for it's size.

Ahead I could clearly see a larger pony sat upon a golden throne, beside it was an empty throne. A throne that Luna now sat upon next to her opposite, I approached at a steady pace taking in the beauty of the huge throne room with huge stained glass windows that probably told of some of this castles history.

When I stood before the two rulers I saw that the size difference between them was quite big. The big white one with a multi coloured mane watched me with curiosity and slight caution while Luna just seemed interested in my entire being.

"You are the cause of the disturbance in the meadows?". The question came quite unannounced as I found myself distracted by….something. Not wanting to seem rude I decided to put it in the back of my head.

"Yeah, but we both know it was more than a disturbance". I looked at the ground for a few seconds to gather my words before returning to meet the gaze of the rightfully cautious ruler. "Yes that was me half in form and definitely not in spirit. You see I have a problem in were I got to angry I can't control my self but I get amazing power. I am ready to serve whatever sentence you see fit". We seemed to just look into each others eyes. Searching and at the same time wondering while contemplating. "If you would let me". This regained her ears. "I would like to be set free, I know it's asking more than I deserve for the damage I have done but you see my worlds in danger and I need to train and find a way back there". I saw something in her eyes shift.

"You shall be sent to Ponyville where you will be studied by my student Twilight, Sparkle. It is the town that resides near the hill you decimated and shall be allowed to train there as no doubt your training shall produce similar results. And your sentence shall be to protect Ponyville during your stay here while I will task some of the finest researchers with finding a way to your world". I broke into a smile and held my hand out. She put her hoof in my hand and I shook it.

"You have no idea how much this means to me". I turned the hand shake into a small hug. I felt her instantly tense but she calmed slightly after a few seconds. I pulled back after a while "Thanks". She was blushing; the sight caused me to tilt my head down so that my hair partially covered my cheeks just in case I was as well.

"It's quite alright". She assured me.

"Well let's get going". I turned to Twilight. "So where are we heading".

"To my house in Ponyville, though it's also the public library but don't worry there aren't many visitors so you won't have to worry about uninvited guests". She reassured me.

"Well I'm all set". We began walking ahead of the group of ponies to the door.

"Wait!". I turned and was instantly tackled by a dark blur. "You didn't hug me". Luna said slightly disheartened.

"Oh…uh sorry, I didn't know you wanted one too". I held her head to my chest and I'll admit it was peaceful. I soon got up with her front legs still around my waist. I gave her a pet on the head. "Hey how about you come visit me sometime". I gave her a smile and ruffled her hair. She gave me a wide smile and nodded uncontrollably.

I followed Twilight and her friends to the exit of the castle. 'Maybe I can enjoy myself while I'm here'.
