Aaaaaaaaaaand were back! Sorry folks, I've had this done for a while but for some reason haven't uploaded it until now. If you were looking forward to more Uncivilised, don't worry. I'll most likely be alternating chapters, unless I get some indication that you want one more than the other. Okay? Okay. Let's get on with it.

I don't own My Little Pony, just the contents and creations of my imagination.

Marcus woke up on the couch, with a gentle beam of light falling through the window and landing on his upturned face. He heard a light voice singing from another part of the house. He rolled off of the couch, stood up and went to search for the singer. He poked his head into the small kitchen, and saw Fluttershy standing at a small counter, preparing food for all of the different animals. Marcus cleared his throat, causing the small yellow pony to leap into the air. "Sorry," Marcus said as he entered the room, "I didn't mean to scare you." Fluttershy shyly looked down to the floorboards and mumbled something about it being ok. Marcus spoke up again, "Is there anything I can do?" Fluttershy, who had regained her composure, replied, "Oh, no. Um.. Twilight Sparkle was looking for you, she told me to send you over once you woke up, so you should probably go over there, if that's okay with you I mean." Marcus smiled and said, "Alright, I'll head over now."

He left the cottage with a smile on his face, for some reason this new world filled him with joy. He started jogging off towards the library. When he entered there were books flying all around the room. The purple librarian saw him and immediately dropped all of the books. "Oh, hi Marcus!" She said. "Hi Twilight," Fluttershy said that you wanted to speak with me?" Twilight nodded and said, "It has to do with the matter of your employment. I think I've found a job for you, that is, if you like books..." and with that Twilight launched into a clearly prepared lecture on how she no longer had time to preform her studies if she had to be the librarian as well. She explained that Marcus, if he should accept the offer, would become the new assistant librarian, which basically meant that he would stay in the library all day, and would rent out the books to anyone who came by to ask for them. Marcus immediately accepted, and took his place behind the counter while Twilight explained the organization of the library. When she thought that Marcus understood she left, leaving Marcus in charge of the tree house library combination.

Not many ponies stopped by that day, just two. One was looking for a book on edible plants in the Everfree Forest and the other was looking for a brief history of Ponyville.

Brightblade returned to the barracks with his book. If this place was to be his new home, he figured he might as well learn a much about it as he could. He decided to start reading after that night's patrol. He needed this night to order his thoughts. That creature from the Mage Tower was back. In his new town. He would keep on eye on the beast. He gathered up his armor and got ready for nightfall.

Brightblade walked around the main square, keeping a diligent eye out for any possible trouble. His patrol partner ran up to him and said, "Slow down! Geez, it's like you're running your route." Brightblade ignored him. He had learned to block out all distractions on duty. The captain of the watch had told them to be wary of any suspicious glows, a there was a criminal at large who used magic to aid his schemes. Brightblade scanned the horizon. He saw a faint glow, which he was about to dismiss as a light, when he saw it flash. He bolted towards it, with his protesting partner behind him.

Marcus awoke in the middle of the night. He was uneasy, but he did not know why. He heard a crash from upstairs and sprang to his feet. He dashed up the stairs just in time to see a large pony strike Fluttershy with a bolt of magic. Fluttershy screamed, and disappeared. Marcus began to run towards the large pony, but a bolt of magic struck him in the chest, and sent him flying down the stairs. The last thing he saw before he blacked out was a flash of gray light as his assailant disappeared.

Marcus woke up on the couch, a sharp pain in his head. He held a hand up to his temple and winced. He remembered the large pony who had abducted Fluttershy. He remembered the same pony knocking him down the stairs. He did not, however, remember walking to the couch. He swung his legs down, and accidentally knocked over the glass of water that was resting on the table. He reached for it, when the strangest thing since his arrival occurred. An orange glow surrounded the cup, and its descent halted. Marcus pointed to the table and the glass obeyed. Marcus rubbed his head again. This world was strange. He heard noises emanating from the upstairs. He sought out the source. When he finally found it he saw a large white unicorn and a smaller grey one standing around a scorch mark on the floorboards. The larger unicorn looked to him a said, "Do you know what happened here?" Marcus nodded. The pony grunted and then said, "Alright, come with me."

Once they arrived at the barracks the guard turned to Marcus and spoke. "Alright," he said, "we're going to set you up with some equipment, then you'll be accompanying me to find the pony who did this. Do you understand?" Marcus nodded. The soldier grunted and guided him to the armory. Marcus was fitted for armor and sent off to the weapon racks. He tried different weapons, from lightweight swords to crushing hammers, from quick daggers to crossbows. He eventually settled, at Brightblade's insistence, on a medium length sword. It was fairly heavy, but Marcus could lift it easily enough. Marcus sheathed his sword and held his hands in front of his eyes. He saw a small orange spark leap between his index finger and his middle finger and put his hands down. He would have to ask some pony about that. He didn't have time for that now however, as Brightblade came in to get him. He didn't say anything, he just motioned to the door. Marcus got up and walked out, not sure of where he was going.

Voila, one chapter as per your insistence. Drop me a line if you'd like, leave a review here, or PM me with any suggestions or anything like that. With that I leave you.

Captain Redclaws out.
