shadow's POV
as i walked the forest spread around me the sound of animals echoed though the underbrush. it would had been beautiful if not so dam creepy. the wind whipped my fur around as I fought against it the sound of something heavy coming though made me jump into the underbrush. a Hugh animal walked past it had bat like wing a scorpion tail and a lion body. as walked past angrily I pushed myself further against the ground.
("that is a manticore a very powerful moster" aquamarine said.
"that great to know but how do i get past this thing"
"just wait for the past what you're daring enough sneak past it" aquamarine replied)
it stopped and sat down I shook my head I would love to wait but the chance of me being found was to great. I crept past it after getting to it's other side I accidentally step on a twig it snapped and the manticore looked at me. I roared and picked up it paw to swing
"wait I just got on thing to say" I yelled it looked at me with its head cocked the side like a dog wandering what's about to happen.
" you're one ugly mother fucker you know that" I said it roared at me it breath hitting my nose
" you need a breath mint, oh and bye" I yelled and ran off it gave Chase looking behind me and seeing it I ran faster
(" you know it's pretty dumb to anger a manticore?"aquamarine ask me
"ya" I answered
"why you do it then" aqua asked
" because I might die anyway so I might as well haves some fun" I said
"... OK oh and watch out for that tree" aqua said
" wait what" I asked her before slamming my head into a tree)
the manicore jumped at me and I rolled away it hit the tree hard and staggered a little before shaking it head and roaring at me. I smiled and ran off it ran after me weaving through the trees I ran faster hoping to get away from the manicore.looking around I saw that I was at the bottom of a steep cliff. I pressed myself against the rock face I tensed preparing to jump as it came to me I jumped but it saw what I was trying to do and adjust it's jump accordingly and slammed into me I felt pain go though my body as the sharp rocks dug into my skin I whipered and it swiped it's claws across my face yelping in pain I jabbed my horn as my fight or flight instinct came in. my horn went though it neck blood spattered all over my body and I flipped over pinning it down its scorpion tail lashed out and I jumped as it came at me and stabbed itself it screamed once more before dieing I staggered off of the dead manicore and fell crying not because of pain but because of taking a life
( " shadow your OK you did what you had to do to survive." aqua told me soothingly
"i-i killed something I took a life" I cry hard
" shadow it the way it is in the wilds"aqua told me
"were is the closest town aqua?" I asked
" it's ponyville half a mile north" she answered")
I got up and walked towards the town the one thing I knew is I had to get to the town trotting down the path in the forest I came upon a clear in the middle of it a cream pony with a red mane picked flower she looked around before going back to she was doing I walk out to talk to her forgetting I was covered in blood.
she looked at me and screamed " the horror the horror" before running off in the direction of the town
" well that was rude" I muttered before looking for some flowers to eat
