Cp 10

Ezio evaded the guards, but they wouldn't stop until they had him. He saw a forest and ran towards it. He rested behind some trees until he heard the guards. Then he grabbed a smoke bomb that was in his pocket, threw it down, and ran off. The guards were blind and Ezio was already out of site when the bomb wore off. He kept running for 15 minutes straight. Then he sat down to rest, the guards were nowhere near him.

He got up, and made his way towards Ponyville. He walked through the forest, with a small clearing here and there. In one of the clearings, he walked through some blue flowers, but didn't notice. Then in a large clearing, he saw a hut. Inside was a Zebra.

Ezio knocked on the door and she answered.

"Excuse me, but do you know the way back to Ponyville? I need to get there as soon as I can." he asked.

"If Ponyville is what you need, then go that way at full speed." she said, pointing at a trail into the woods.

"Thank you." he said, and then he ran towards the direction that she pointed in.

He arrived at Ponyville in about 2 minutes, and stealthily made his way to Twilight treehouse. He went inside and got his blades from under her bed. He put them on and exited the house, going back into hiding. "Now that I have my blades, I can kill him quickly, I can't have anybody see me, not in the slightest, in and out." he said to himself, relaxing that he was out of danger at the moment.

Then his stomach growled. "I need to eat some meat before I lose my edge." While he was in town, he noticed that there wasn't any meat in the entire city, so he went back into the woods, hoping to hunt for some dinner.

Then he came across a large lion-like animal with a scorpion's tail and bat-like wings. It didn't notice him, so he went up to it and jumped on its back, inserting his blades into its skull. It was dead before it knew that he was there. Then he saw a cave, and dragged his kill to it. He gathered some firewood and made a fire to cook it on.

After he ate, he hid the kill deep in the cave, and fell asleep in another area in the cave, away from the manticore and away from the entrance.

When he woke up, he didn't feel the same, and when he tried to get up, he fell back over. "What happened?" he said to himself. Then he saw his body, it was that of a pony. He had a tan coat, brown mane, wings, a horn, an Italian variation of the assassin insignia on his flank, and a hidden blade on each of his hooves.

He saw that his cloak was nowhere in sight. He looked more widely, and his cloak wasn't in the cave or in the surrounding area. "Where is my cloak?" he asked himself. Then he remembered the cloak at Rarity's. He tried to get up again, but had trouble maneuvering his legs.

After a few minutes of practicing, he got the hang of it and walked back to town. He started to head to a building, but thought against it because he was a pony. He wasn't confident of his skills in that body, so he used the roads.

He went almost unnoticed, until he heard some ponies around him say, "Who is he?" "An alicorn? Is he from royalty?" "Where did he come from?" He felt unnerved so he quickened his pace, and fell down quickly.

"Are you ok?" asked a pony. He looked up and saw Pinkie Pie. "You seem familiar, do I know you?"

He didn't know how she would react, so he tried to mask his voice and said, "No, I think that I would've remembered you."

Pinkie lowered her voice and said, "Ezio?"

"I can't get anything past you can I, Pinkie?" he asked jokingly.

"It is you, Ezio." she said with a smile. "What happened to you?"

"I don't know, I ran from the guards into the forest, through some clearings, met a zebra living in a hut, got my blades from Twilight's, hunted a manticore in the forest, and fell asleep. And when I woke up, I was a pony." he said, inconveniently forgetting the blue flowers.

"Wow, you got away from the guards?" she asked. "They're not gonna like that."

"Yes, and now I'm heading to Rarity's to get something. Go get our friends, tell them to meet me there." Then he walked at a normal pace while Pinkie got Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow, and Fluttershy.

When he got to Rarity's shop, he saw that his friends were already there.

"Is that you Ezio?" asked Twilight.

"Yes, it's me, Ezio." he said. "Pinkie Pie told you then?"

"Sure did Ezio!" said Pinkie happily.

"Why did you come here first, Ezio? Not that I have a problem with it." asked Rarity.

"Did you keep that mysterious cloak you made?" asked Ezio.

"What cloak?" asked Rainbow.

"And what makes it so mysterious?" asked Applejack.

"Hold on a minute, I'll get it." said Rarity, walking off.

She came back with the mysterious assassin cloak, that she made without knowing, levitating behind her. Ezio put it on, but had trouble because he didn't know how to grab it. "Confound this pony body. If I'm going to stay like this, then I will need to learn how to control it." he said unhappily.

"What happened to you Ezio?" asked Fluttershy.

He told them what he told Pinkie.

Twilight thought for a little and said, "Did you touch a blue flower on your way here in the forest?"

"I think that I did, but why do you ask?"

"That flower is called poison joke, it plays a prank on whoever touches it, and in this case it turned you into a pony." she replied.

"That makes as much sense as anything else here, so I'm going to believe you. But I think that I will remain in this body." he said. "It has its benefits in this world. I will need to learn how to fly, and how to use magic."

"I can help you with magic." said Twilight with a spark in her eye.

"I'll help you with flying." said Rainbow Dash.

"Thank you, Twilight and Rainbow." he said with a smile.
