- >You are a pale blue pegasus by the name of Rustle
- >You are the second in command of a herd of feral fluffy ponies
- >Or rather, WERE the second in command
- >Your predecessor has left, presumably never to return
- >You guess that made you the smarty friend
- >You were out of your element
- >Not only were you placed in a position of leadership you weren't accustomed to, but you were also in a human house, surrounded by things your fluffy little brain can't hope to comprehend
- >Your predecessor, brave leader Raindancer, followed a runaway domesticated fluffy pony named Wiggly here, in order to keep his people safe from the coming winter
- >But it all went to hell
- >Raindancer was exceptinally sharp for a fluffy pony, like no other
- >But that sharpness came at a price
- >What he had gained in intelligence he had lost in compassion
- >He killed Wiggly the day you got here
- >He said it was to protect the herd's "integrity"
- >You don't even understand that word
- >You of course disagreed with him, saying Wiggly was a friend
- >Raindancer insisted that anything humans thouched would be harmful to the herd
- >He might've been right Only a few days later, Raindancer left the house for a while
- >While he was gone, the herd wouldn't listen to you, telling you they only trust "smawty fwiend"
- >Against Raindancer's order, the herd started eating the humans' food
- >They were so ecstatic over the taste, they started fighting each other over it
- >For some, the food was too spicy
- >They drowned themselves trying to extinguish to fire in their mouths
- >When Raindancer returned, most of his people were dead
- >The few who survived blamed Raindancer, saying this was as his fault for leaving them
- >Raindancer wouldn't have any of it
- >He told the herd how the humans had corrupted them
- >The herd insisted that Raindancer leave
- >Raindancer doesn't like to be challenged, especially by dumb "human friends"
- >Fighting ensued, three more died
- >After that, Raindancer left, his last words to you being "Let them forget me"
- >You were left with what was left the herd
- >A total of 9 fluffy ponies including you
- >The winter came and went
- >The pregnant mares gave birth
- >The ones who kept eating the human food died
- >Maybe it was poisonous to fluffy ponies after all, you may never know, you didn't eat one bit of it
- >Once all the snow melted, you led the herd back to the field you came from
- >Two died along the way
- >Better than last time
- >Last time lost almost half the group
- >When you arrived at the field, you found Raindancer's hairless corpse there
- >He came all the way back here just to kill himself?
- >Guess he was that proud of his homeland
- >Big black birds feasted on his body
- >The same kind of birds that you once shood away with big stick to save Raindancer, earning his trust and friendship
- >Only this time you didn't have a big stick
- >You had to wait for the birds to leave before moving the herd back to the field
- >You picked up Raindancer's half eaten naked corpse and carried it to the edge of the woods
- >You took some pretty flowers and dropped them on him >May angels take him to a place where fluffies never go hungry...
- >Memories of your days together start coming back >You wonder how did Raindancer ever become so smart
- >How did he ever become so hateful towards humans despite never having met one as far as you know
- >His prejudice toward humans and paranoia of their influence were the reason he killed Wiggly, Hayseed and the others
- >Was he just crazy or did he actually have a reason?
- >You curse yourself for not intervening back at the house
- >Your indecisiveness in the fight between Raindancer and the herd cost Raindancer his reason to live and the herd their innocence
- >By taking a stand you could have saved one or the other
- >Doesn't matter, no amount of contemplating will bring either back
- >Some time later...
- >The herd now lives a mostly happy life
- >Your numbers quickly grew to 40
- >All the fluffies have seemingly forgotten all about Raindancer and their time at the human house
- >Better that way, fluffy ponies don't cope well with such memories
- >You know you don't...
- >You wonder whether you'll ever meet a human, whether it would justify Raindancer's views
- >Only time will tell if you succeed in staying friendly to the herd or if the realitys of leadership change you into what Raindancer became
- >Best to just go a day at a time
- >A mare calls out to you
- >She needs your help giving birth
