Warforged in Equestria : Chapter Two - Ghost Town

> Much to your surprise the walk out of the forest takes little more then half an hour.
> Though it was likely close to the middle of the day during your fall, your time inert and the walk have left sunset only scant few hours from now.
> You begin to think to yourself.
> 'Hmmm, these... p0nies speak common. Perhaps this is simply a far flung reach of Eberron? When the sun has set I will need to check the stars for what constellations I know.'
> 'If this is Eberron perhaps they may even be able to help me reach my home again... And then I can KILL that damned Kobold...'
> Before you have time to contemplate how to best turn that reptilian bastard into goo, you realize you have reached the outskirts of what appear to be a small village.
> When you notice how close you have come to the town you stop to address the two you have been traveling with.
> "Before I can continue another step, I must know the types of reactions I can expect from the local populace"
> Twilight turns to look up at you with a raised eyebrow, a look of what you think is confusion on her face.
> "What do you mean?"
> You ponder for a moment how to better phrase the question.
> "You two had entirely different reactions to my appearance, as such I need to know if others will have similar reactions, or if there is a possibility of outright hostility."
> She adopts a look of shock, telling you all you need to know before she answers, though you know it impolite to interrupt.
> "I can't imagine anypony being... hostile, though a few might be afraid. Still I'm sure everyp0ny will welcome you with open legs"
> An ambiguously gendered, living construct with no sex drive you may be, but the implications of this statement are far from lost on you.
> Needless to say that, much to the confusion of your two companions, you burst into an uproarious laughter.

> Now both are starring at you with looks of confusion.
> After a few moments of you standing there laughing like your voice box was on constant loop, you snap back to your usual self.
> "Terribly sorry about that, but I have a feeling that doesn't mean the same thing when dealing with bipedal creatures."
> The silence that follows is deafening.
> Oddly enough it's Fluttershy who breaks the silence.
> "So... What was so funny... I mean... Um... that, was... You where laughing right?... I'm sorry"
> "You need not apologize, my kind has always had... Trouble... Conveying emotion. We get used to it."
> "As for your question, amongst most intelligent bipedal species that I know of, the similar terms are used to describe females of... Loose morality"
> "Anyway now that all our questions are answered, let us be on our way"
> You don't even bother to look at there facial expressions, though you are sure they would be beyond value.

> Within short few minutes you are in the village proper, strangely despite the number of homes you have passed, the streets are almost totally devoid of life.
> You are unsure if this is unusual until Twilight voices her own concerns over the matter.
> "Where is everyp0ny? Shy, is something going on in town that I forgot about"
> "N-no, I don't think so?"
> A quick look around at some of the nearby homes reveals something moving within the windows, though too quick to get a good look at whatever it is...
> ...That is until a p0ny reaches out her window to slam the shutters closed, a look of panic on her face.
> Well that's all you needed to see to figure out where everyone went.
> "Twilight it appears as though you are a paragon of bravery among your kind."
> She looks at you, again confused, an expression you are getting very familiar with.
> "Um thanks... I think? Where did that come from""
> "Look around carefully, not at the streets but at the windows. Everyone is in hiding."
> Both Fluttershy and Twilight quickly do just that and then look at each other and frown.
> "What should we do Twilight, it's just like when Zecora showed up?"
> She raises a hoof to her chin pondering the question.
> Much to your confusion after a few seconds she raises her hoof above her head and you hear what you assume to be a snap.

> "We need to get him to Sugercube Corner stat! Shy, lead him there I'll go ahead and tell Pinkie you're coming so she doesn't freak out when you get there"
> What follows is a similar snapping sound and a bright light, before you know it Twilight is gone and you are left standing in the street with Fluttershy.
> "Umm okay, Mister Anonymous, please follow me"
> A nod is your response before she starts off running.
> After a few minutes of running through town the silence and total lack of another presence is shattered as a voice rings out from... above you?
> "Stay away from her you jerk!"
> You look up to see a cyan colored blur hurling towards you.
> No time to anchor your feet for a proper defensive stance and no shield. Dodge it is.
> You manage to tumble to your right just as the streak of color shoots past you.
> You catch a glimpse of it was you just dodged as it flies past you.
> A cyan coated, rainbow maned... Pegasus?
> Well this day has just been full of fun little discoveries hasn't it?
> Coming out of your roll you turn to see the streak of color beginning to turn towards you once more.
> You anchor your feet and raise your arms to defend yourself as the streak begins its charge again...

> This time You're ready for it...
