A Slender Friend: Chapter 3

Tundra POV

After leaving Zecora to her duties, we were on our way to Twilight's house.

/)Pony ville(\

As we walked to Twilight's house, we were getting odd stares and some ponies were just trying not to look in our direction. I guess it's hard not too look in the direction of an old legendary being that is said to murder ponies. We reached Twilight's house in a mater of minutes. We entered the well kept house. We sat on the seating furniture while Slender just stood.

Twilight began asking questions immediately. "Where are you from?" she asked Slender Mane.

Slender answered, "I have no knowledge of my origin."

"Do you have amnesia?" Twilight asked.

"I only know that I was a creation. By whom I was created by, I do not know." Slender responded.

"What do you do daily? Other than killing." She asked.

Slender said, "I do not kill without reason. I punish the ones that have committed crimes against Equestria. Punishment without reason is murder." He was offended, and that was never good.

Twilight asked another question. "How do you use magic if you're not a unicorn?"

Slender answered, "I was given this ability and many more. My creator gave me powers that even the sisters can not posses. Many of my powers are genetic."

"What are they?" she questioned.

Slender began the list. "They include; hearing thoughts, teleportation, unimaginable agility, speed, and strength, sprouting multiple appendages, changing hight, and bending the will of another. I can only do this depending on their will power."

Rainbow asked him, "What's up with your legs? They're so skinny. And not to mention you're freakishly tall."

"He is called Slender Mane for a reason, you know." I said. And what he said next was something he said to me only once. He said, "Not to mention I am a close friend of her." every one looked at him in shock while I sat there, expressionless.

"This is impossible! How come there are no records of you then?" Twilight was flipping through history books while asking these questions.

"I am not in any records because I requested I not be in any records, as well as remembered." Slender explained. Twilight began an argument, "But why? Why would someone of your status not want to be known?"

"It is none of your business to worry of my past."

"Of course it is. As Celestia's student-" She was cut off by Slender, "I already know. You, as the student of Celestia, must report findings of great importance and of friendship to the Princesses. Has she mentioned one word of me?" Twilight stayed quiet. "Exactly what I thought. If I was worthy of researching, she would have told you of me. Besides, I would much rather stay out of their curiosity."

"Why, what happened?" she questioned, hoping for an answer. I could tell he was getting upset. He had told me his past was always so painful to remember.

We could both feel her heartbeat. She wanted to know so much. She already gotten her notepad out. Slender Mane then said, " You want to know so badly? Well I will tell then. Long ago, weeks before Discord went power hungry, he offered me the power that the Princesses would use against me. He said they would strike me down due to my abnormal strengths and other abilities. I believed him, but only since he was the first being I considered family. Celestia and Luna said and swore they would never betray me. A guard must have overheard the conversation. The sisters confronted me a week after, when Discord was finally away to gain allies. I let my emotions get the better of me, so i ran. I felt that I was useless to them."

"What did you do next?" Pinkie asked, surprisingly serious.

Slender continued his story. "I killed my emotions and secluded myself in the forest."

"What was your relationship with the Princesses and Discord?" Twilight asked.

"Discord was like a brother. He was chaos and I was order. He made the mess and I cleaned it. He was my best friend, and then he manipulated me. Celestia, a close friend and a powerful ruler, she took me in and helped me understand this world. She was like an older sister watching out for us. And Luna. She was so young when we last seen each other. She was like a little sister to me. As she grew, I began to have feelings for her. I was, as you would say, in love. But after what happened, I am sure she never wants to see me again." That is his relationship with them. Close as family. Never to split apart. And one thing changed it all. When he found me as a child he was just another monster I would check for under my bed. Then he became my master and father figure.

Slender was uneasy staying here, so began toward the door. "Well, we must be going. We should meet here again tomorrow. Come Tundra, you must rest for tomorrow." Slender said to me. I followed and said, "Yes, master." I looked back at the six and waved to them. They all smiled and waved. Twilight's smile somewhat bothered me.

Everfree Forest

We were finally home. But one thing tugged at my thoughts. As we left Twilight's house, she put on more of a devious smile than a friendly one. I am sure Slender noticed too.
