- >Nothing new.
- >But when there were Sorcerors around, that was definitely a problem.
- >The cacaphony of battle.
- >Crackling lasgun fire and the smell of offal and ozone.
- >Heart thundering like the engine of the Chimera.
- >Such was life as a Guardsman, Anon.
- >But today was a different day.
- >Battle was the same. Day in, day out.
- >But here was a decidedly different battle.
- >"ANON! WHAT KIND OF FROSTING DO YOU WANT ON YOUR CAKE!"
- >The weary soldier snapped out of his daydream.
- >These horses.
- >This world.
- >He had to have been killed in that explosion of warp energy.
- >But he heard no choir.
- >No shimmer of light.
- >No welcoming embrace from Him, immortal on the Golden Throne.
- >Instead he woke up on the shore of a river, soaked and half drowned.
- "I don't like frosting."
- >The curly mane of the pink baker pony eased out from the side of the door.
- >"What."
- >Her giant blue plate sized eyes twitched with a look of shock and horror.
- "...Raspberry."
- >"Coming right up!"
- >He recounted his appearance here.
- >The blast hit the Chimera and detonated it rather viciously.

- >Those that managed to get out were dragged away by Daemons or skewered on their blades.
- >He was fortunate enough to have is las pistol when the Sorcerer had found him.
- >"What a delightful little morsel. I wonder what you'll taste like."
- >It might have been a flashlight, but it still hurts when you shine it in their eyes.
- >It was enough to fumble his concentration and blast his prey with raw Warp.
- >Instead of being torn into ribbons and cast adrift in the Immaterium...
- >"And now, you're MINE!"
- >WHUMP
- >Again, he snapped out of it.
- >A large cake hit the table in front of him, joined with some plates.
- >A lemon cake with raspberry frosting.
- >And a Pinkie Pie staring down at it ravenously.
- >"One of my favorite combinations!
- >Guardsman Anon gave a sigh, lifting a fork full of cake.
- >Diabetes was mysteriously absent from this world.
- >Let's hope that stays that way.
- >And perhaps find some better food than cake.
- >There was only so much left in his ration packs.
- >His gear had been taken when he was rescued by the young ponies who lost a ball.
- >Which was probably for the better.
- >Throne forgive him for not blindly thrusting himself into combat with the warped xeno-equine creatures.
- >Water in the lungs tends to hamper one's combat abilities.
- >And they did save him, after all.
- >The 'Princess of Friendship' welcomed the soldier with open... Wings, I guess.
- >And unfortunately for him, took charge of his care. When she wanted to.
- >Lately she had been studying anything and everything he had brought with him.
- >The batteries in his lasgun had long since died, even before that purple horse started playing with his stuff.
- >At least she wouldn't shoot herself on accident.
- >Not that he really had a care for these strange horses, but it wouldn't exactly be a good situation.
- >And she would question you endlessly.
- >The ruling... Princesses would convene to decide on your fate not long after your arrival.
- >Judging you to be of little threat without your weapons, it was suggested to learn and teach one another.
- >A fat lot that would do.
- >Pink horse shoved the fork into the man's mouth, painfully hitting the tongue.
- >"How is it?!"
- "...Good, like all the other ones."
- >"You always say that! What do you REALLY think about it?"
- "I think I'm being spoiled or tempted. I can't decide which."
- >It had to be some kind of lost paradise world to be so lush and fruitful.
- >Maybe in time he would be rescued.
- >He wasn't holding his breath.
- >"What's that mean? You're kinda confusing."
- "Nothing. It's really good. I'm not used to getting things like this to eat."
- >Pinkie looked at him curiously.
- >"What stuff do you normally eat? Maybe if I make something like that it'll remind you of home!"
- "Normally I'm eating Munitorium Rations. I'd rather eat your food, to be honest."
- >"Do you not like those ..Myoon-it-or-eeum rations?"
- "Munitorium. No. They taste like crackers made from hay."
- >"That sounds delicious!"
- >...Horses eat hay. Of course they'd like that.
