~An Affinity With the Sun~
{Act I}
[Chapter III]
|Anon vs. Wild|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

>You recover your vision and the first thing your eyes see are Sun Horse's golden hoof cups
>She stands over you, giving you the same smile that sickens you
>"Hello my love."
>She says to you
>You prepare to nope as hard as you can and run for the hills
>But wait, you're already in the hills
"Where are we?"
>You ask, to which she responds
>"We are in the wilderness. I figured that you haven't had enough incentive to accept my offer. So I thought I'd leave you stranded in the forest until you need me to save you!"
>She claps her hooves together in triumph and giggles
"Fuck that, I'll have you know I've graduated top of my Boy Scouts class and I'm perfectly experienced with the wilderness!"
>"Ohohoho?"
>She chuckles at your determination
>"I love it when you play hard to get. Very well my love, I'll play along. Let's see how long you can survive~"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

>An hour
>An hour was all it took to be up to your neck in shit
>So far, your injuries are light
>A twisted ankle, bruised knee, and a various scrapes and pricks from thorns
"This is bullshit.."
>You thought to yourself
>Why did you have to be the victim of a Princesses' love obsession?
>Nevertheless, you must persevere
>But to be honest
>Her offer is looking pretty good right now
>Part of you wants to accept it, the other doesn't want to give her the satisfaction of winning
>Eventually you tire and settle in a clearing
>You use what little knowledge you remember from the Scouts to start a fire
"Things just get worse and worse for me. What is it with everyone in the Anon family having insanely bad luck?"
>You have nothing to eat, the pit in your stomach confirms that
>Before you can complain you hear a rustling in the bushes
>It could be her
>You put up your dukes, ready to sock a horse in the jaw needed be
>But instead of being greeted by your familiar alabaster horse
>A large grizzly stomps out of the shrubbery
"Goddammit..."

>The grizzly reals up on it's hind legs, roaring and clawing at the air
>You're scared shitless
>Terrified that death may very well take you at this very instance
>But wait, this could be your salvation
>Your path to liberty from the oppressive Pone who bares the sun on her flanks
>You know that it would also hurt her greatly if you laid down and died
>Perhaps your pay back for her ruining your life, you have nothing to live for anyway
>But would you dare?
>Would you lay down and die just to spite her?
>You search around your soul to find the balls to do it
>Whether you find them or not is unknown
>But you plop down on your ass and get ready for the mauling
>You keep the thought in your head
>The thought of your revenge
>Maybe you could come back as a ghost and haunt her for the remainder of her immortal life
>The bear charges and is on you in a second
>Before his teeth meet your face, it poofs away in magical clouds
>"Ah ah ah my little human. You can't escape me, even in death. Stop this foolish game and come to me! Even if you died, I'd find a way to bring you back to me."
>Her voice echoes through the forest from an unknown location
>She's taunting you
>You begin to think to yourself
"Maybe I can't escape her love. Maybe I should give in."
>"Oh my little human. I know what's best for you. I am the only one who can love you, protect you, and supervise your well being."

>What can you do now?
>You honestly don't what you can do
>It seems like she's got everything planned
>You're just trapped in her love game
>But to hell with that, you're an honest, workin' man and it will take a lot more to break your spirit
>For the sake of Anons, you strive forward
>New determination is now flowing through your veins
>You won't give in to Sunbutt's demands
>It's time to utilize your skills you've gained from summer camp
"Moss..."
>You use your Eagle-Eye badge to spot moss in the dense forest
"Moss always points north!"
>You head in the direction the plant points
>It will be dark soon, shelter would be needed
>If you were going to survive the trials of a god mare in love, you're going to have to bring your A-game
>You forage around for berries and other eatables
>Gathering twigs and thin branches for your bedding
>You were determined to make it out of this wild the next morning
>Maybe you'd even march straight back to Canterlot just to shove it in her face
>But as you fall asleep in your makeshift bed
>You can't help but feel a tinge of emotion for the pony doing this to you
>Whether it's pleasant or not is debatable
