"Nurse Redheart please, let me heal myself. I can do it trust me!"
>The earth pony shakes her head "I can't Anonymous sorry, doctors orders"
"Who is the doctor then! I haven't even met him!”
>”His orders Anonymous I’m sorry! Now try to relax. No need to rip open your cuts again”
>Grumbling under your breath she leaves closing the door.
>Rubbing your head in annoyance you begin undoing the bandages on your chest.
>They keep giving you excuses that the healing salve they use reacts funny to magic.
>You are not about to sit in this place for a week.
>Your broken arm doesn't help with undoing your chest bandages.
>Maybe it would be best to do your arm first.
>Fuck it chest is open already.
>Waving your other arm over your chest you focus.
>Rejuvenation begins working its magic slowly closing the cuts.
>Pain begins arching through your chest.
>You lay another rejuvenation followed by a regrowth.
>Looking at your chest its got some scars other then that looks good as new...
>Doesn't feel good as new as your chest erupts in pain.
>Machine near you that’s connected to your wrist begins beeping loudly causing nurse Redheart to rush into the room
>”What did you do!”
>She looks at your chest and the ripped and tore bandages.
>”I told you Anonymous! I told you about those bandages!”
>Clenching your chest
“You told me it would react funny! Not feel like an orc's battle axe is bursting through my chest!” you scream back at her
>She messes with some dials on the machine as other ponies come in.
>”He used magic to.... heal him self with those special bandages we use” she explains to them.
>”Get him a painkiller.” She turns back to you “There's nothing else we can do besides give you something to rid the pain.”
>Grabbing her face you pull her in
“Please fucking do!”  you scream into her face
>You feel regrowth's effects end only causing your pain to increase more.
>Oh... no that’s not regrowth’s effect... that’s the needle they just jammed into your chest
>Your vision blurs as the pain subsides.
>Your head becoming heavy.
>Placing it on your pillow you hear talking to your left but don't seem to catch the words.

>Time passed before you come to almost waking up but you don't feel like you were sleeping.
>Your still drowsy though.
>What happened?
>You groan a bit sitting up.
>Light from outside shines into your eyes causing you to squint.
>The machine to your left begins beeping slowly.
>Soon after what looks like Nurse Redheart in your blurry vision walks in messing with the machine.
>”Anonymous are you awake?”
>Swinging your head over to the voice you focus a bit.
>Attempting to speak is hard.
>Oh you're thirsty
>Trying to move your arm it hurts like hell.
>The other doesn't hurt but its hard to move it...
>pointing at your throat the best you can.
>You hope its your throat...
>The figure disappears for a bit before coming back.
>”Here you go.”
>The glass hovers in front of you what looks to be a tray.
>You grab it moving it to your lap real quick.
>'okay Anonymous.... we can do this... lift the water to your mouth....' your voice echos in your head.
>Slowly you lift it up to your mouth.
>Taking a drink the water running over your dry throat.
>Your vision clears up slightly as you set the glass down.
>”Anonymous can you hear me?” the white figure to your left pulling your head toward her.
>You nod but your head is still heavy.
>”Good, I'm sorry we gave you a special painkiller we had no idea how our medicine would work on you so we used a much bigger dose. How are you feeling?”
>Moment of truth you run checks in your body from your mind.
>Everything seems to be okay...
“Tired.”
>”okay that’s natural, the feeling will disappear soon. A small piece of bread is on your side when you feel up to it please eat, if you need any assistance hit this little red button. I will be back a patient down the hall requires my assistance then we can talk about getting you out of here”
>Getting out of here?
>that perked you right the fuck up as you begin rubbing your eyes with your hand.
>Your other arm still hurts like hell but its nice and snug in a sling. Wrapped around your shoulder.
>Looking to your side you find the bread and shove it in your mouth.
>You're not entirely sure if you chewed it...
>might been an issue.... nope it went down.
>WERE GOOD TO GO WHERES THE NURSE

>You hit the red button on your left side.
>Nothing happens.
>hit in again.
>Still nothing.
>You're looking at the door and the button hitting it repeatedly
>Suddenly the door bursts open with Nurse Redheart rushing to your side.
>”Are you alright whats.... wrong...”
>You smile.
“What's this about me getting outa here?”
>she raises an eyebrow.
>”Really?”
>You nod.
>”Alright let me send word to Twilight and then I will see if you are fit to leave.”
“I'm fit to leave!”
>You stand out of bed.... its drafty.
>Its apparent now. you're naked.
>Covering up with the bed sheet
“Ehehe, can you tell her to get me some clothes from Rarity's.”
>”Rarity brought you clothes remember, when you were …. a bear your friends stopped by leaving a care package...”
“that’s right! Give me my candy!”
>”No.”
>Glaring at her she pushes you back onto the bed.
>”Your chest looks fine, does this hurt?”
>she pushes lightly on your chest
>Shaking your head no.
>She pushes harder.
>Still no pain....
>Shes pushing so hard your sliding now.
“Redheart... I’m fine.”
>Removing her hoof she looks at the red circle mark left on your chest.
>”I... I guess so. Guess you are fit to leave. But you still have to leave your arm in this sling!”
“For how long.”
>”four day's maybe five... wash your arm before you attempt to.... heal it”
“Alright... Just curious”
>Looking at the sling it doesn't seem like something ponies would use.
“Where did you guys get the idea of the sling and why are you sending me out of here so early?”
>”Minotaurs use it, Fluttershy also said something about monkeys when she checked on you. As for leaving early with the stunt you pulled doctors want you out of here before you cause some more issues”
“Oh....”
>You stare at her and then the care package your friends left you....
“Mind leaving so I can get dressed?”
>”huh?”
“rude to be naked in front of others where I’m from.”
>”Huh?” Slowly it dawns on her “Ohhhh okay I'm sorry, I will send word to Twilight sparkle”
“Thank you.”
>Nurse Redheart leaves the room.
>standing up once more you walk to the small white bag on a table across the room.
>opening it your candy, bottle of booze and clothes rarity....
>Um no.
>Pulling the “Clothes” out you are met with a.... pink frilly dress.
“This is not a robe... Rarity... this is a DRESS!”
>hurling the pink frilly bullshit on the ground you find some underpants
>these will work...
>....
>nothing like taking a stroll through town in your underwear!
>...
“Elders would have a fit....”
>Slowly you sit down on the bed packing away all your goodies thinking about home...
>One goodie stands out.
>The journal Twilight wants you to fill out.

>Picking it up you begin writing an entry.
>'I miss home today... its strange, it took a manticore kicking my ass putting me near death... yet I'm walking the death part off... This place is peaceful... it functions without war. Many races live side by side... I think I need to be more careful... going to talk to Twilight about healing magic and resurrection spells”
>Looking back you decide your left hands penmanship is awful....
>it will have to do.
>Sticking the pen in the book you close it.
>Thoughts meld into your head.
>Its been a month... and this is the first you have thought of home.
>'Wonder how everyone is doing.'
>Putting everything in the white bag which you assume Rarity provided you wait.
>Sitting on the bed waiting... for someone...
>Thoughts meld into each other.
>Suddenly you find yourself talking to yourself in your head
>'Maybe Twilight can find a way home...'
>'But this place is so peaceful... I have friends'
>'Maybe a visit?'
>'How would I get back?'
>Thoughts run into each other till a purple hoof is swinging in front of your face

>”Hello? Anonymous you in there?”
“Huh what?”
>Shaking your head Twilight’s up on her hind legs waving her hoof in your face.
>”Are you okay? Nurse said you are fit to leave but ponies don't just space out like that?”
"I'm alright just thinking"
>Silence over comes both of you till Twilight wraps you in a hug.
>"you had me so worried!"
>Hugging her back eventually both of you let go
"I'm sorry, we need to talk. but first we can stop by Rarity's so I can pick up some real clothes..."
>Twilight's back up and floats the white bag up and over her side.
>"Of course, Rarity and Sweetie belle went camping with Applejack, Applebloom and Rainbow dash."
>Getting out of the hospital bed you do a quick stretch.
>Twilight notices your just wearing boxers.
"Rarity made me a pink... dress... its not a robe. A dress. Robes are longer."
>Twilight giggles a bit before walking out.
>YEP
>NOTHING LIKE WALKING THROUGH TOWN IN YOUR UNDERWEAR

>Twilight signs you out of the hospital leading the way to Rarity's.
"So whats camping?"
>"Huh?" Twilight looks back at you confused
"Camping... what is it? never heard of it"
>"Oh its where you leave your house and modern day lives to live outside. Sleeping under the stars or in caves. some really enjoy the experience. me personally doesn't sound to fun or exciting."
"Interesting... nothing as exciting as reading books for days at a time?"
>"Oh gosh yes!"
>You chuckle at Twilight as you think about camping.
>Walking out of the hospital the sun is visibly going down.
"Camping huh? doesn't sound like something Rarity would really enjoy... considering.... dirt"
>"Yeah I guess that is weird”
>Twilight turns leading you behind Sugar cube corner.
>Normally you would think nothing of it but she keeps looking behind you and between alleys.
“Twilight whats wrong?”
>”Huh? Nothings wrong everything is fine”
>She looks behind you again.
“Why are we taking this way then?”
>”uh” She looks back at you then at your underwear “Because you don't have real clothes! I know how you humans get ehehe”
“...I'm not buying it. Spill it.”
>Twilight turns the next corner, Rarity's coming into view
>”nope that's it!”
>Walking up to the door with her she opens the door letting you in first.
>Glancing back you see her look around.
“Twilight... why are you looking behind us all the time?”
>Startled she rushes in closing the door.
>”I um...”
>Her eyes dart back and forth.
>Glaring at her she holds her spot unmoving.
“I'm going to go put on clothes... and you are going to tell me why you are acting so strange.”
>Twilight has a small bit of fear in her eye as you ascend the stairs.
>Did you miss something?
>Walking into your room its mostly the way you left it....
>No wait bits bag is moved.
>Looks like Rarity dipped into it to pay rent, possibly pay for the fabric of your clothes.
>Not like it matters you still have a sizeable amount.
>Its surely going to disappear fast once you get the engineers itch.
>Tossing some real clothes on...
>By real clothes you mean your robes and some pants.
>Robes were hard to put on with one arm but you managed it.
>You are not a fan of the shirts Rarity keeps making you.
>They look nice but robes just feel so much better.
>Stretching you leave your room and descend down the stairs to find Twilight peaking out the window.
>She didn't hear you come down it seems. Maybe?
>Taking a seat on the stairs you watch her look back and forth.
>This goes on for some time till she sighs turning around.
>She sits and looks back at you
>You can see the gears turning in her head
>”How long have you been there?!” shes clearly surprised by you sitting there.
“Long enough to know somethings clearly up.”
>She rubs her head clearly annoyed by your actions but releases another sigh.
>”Your attack on Trixie... in worgen form has some ponies freaking out. Seems word got out. I managed to explain it to Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow dash and Pinkie. Most seem to understand but the way you attacked Trixie some how got out. After some explaining to Celestia and the mayor and Nurse Redheart they agreed to leave you alone but they can't control other ponies.”
>Nodding in understanding... you did act very violently.
>As you beat yourself up in your head Twilight keeps talking.
>”Rumors have started going around you're a monster and I'm running out of space to hold ponies back”
>You mcfucked up Anonymous
>Adjusting your small bag filled with various objects you ask her a question.
“Well any idea on how to... fix this... I like it here.”
>Twilight rubs her chin for a bit before sighing.
>”I don't know Anonymous, I was hoping maybe staying around Rarity or me would maybe help but the more I think about it now...” She stops.
>No words need to be said.
>Changing subjects
“So how did I end up at the hospital?”

>Twilight explains how you burst through the forest to where her and Zecora were.
>Eventually Fluttershy came by explained what happened and that Trixie was using an amulet that amplify ones powers.
>Twilight and Fluttershy took you to the hospital where she explained to them who and what you are.
>Fluttershy took over explaining to them how to take care of a bear while Twilight went and had another duel with Trixie.
>After that she held a magic show for some special guests of Celestia.
>Twilight finishes going over everything and heads home.
>Moment you close the door it hits you you forget to ask him about healing and resurrection magic.
>Guess you will ask later.
>Making a quick dinner you eat it alone at Rarity's kitchen table.
>Something is gonna have to be done.
>Maybe talking to midnight might be a good idea...
>Maybe.... what would elders say?
>the image of a purple night elf with glowing yellow eyes appears in your head.
>A rough voice that sounded like it always needs water echos in your head
>”YOU DID WHAT?! Of everything we taught you! Everything we put forward for you! You throw it away by walking around town NAKED!”
>Chuckling at the thought you wash your plate and face in the kitchen sink.
>best to talk to Midnight tomorrow.... or tonight shes a night guard.

>Throwing a thicker robe and a cloak on you head out the door.
>Not many ponies are out and about.
>but those that are look at you.
>Some wave or say hello.
>Others ignore or glare at you.
>Doubt a formal apology would fix this.
>you're not in a prison cell so that's a good sign.
>Oh you're passing Fluttershy's place.
>Need to stop spacing out anonymous.
>Stopping at Fluttershy's you knock on her door.
>Shes saved you again. She needs to be thanked at the very least.
>The door opens to the yellow Pegasus as she looks up at you with a small smile
>”Oh hello Anonymous! You're okay!”
“I came by to say thank you... again for saving me.” You made sure to get down on one knee so you're eye level with her.
>”Oh it was nothing at. I'm just glad you are alright”
“I'm alright. I came by to say thank you and if you need anything feel free to ask. I owe you pretty big.”
>”Oh no that’s alright you don't have to do anything.”
“Fluttershy you have saved me twice. If you need a favor or something simple please feel free to ask.  Someone who has saved my life twice I would be a complete jerk if I didn't at least thank you and offer it”
>”You could stay here for dinner if you want” Her voice speaking quieter on the next part “It gets lonely out here sometimes.”
>Barely picking up that last part you run it through your head.
>Rarity has talked about how Fluttershy lives alone out here only with her animal friends.
>If this is what she wants. It is what she will get. You can visit midnight after you finish up here.
“Alright Fluttershy. I'm not to hungry but I will stay for a bit.”
>Her head rises as a smile is plastered on her face.
>She ushers you inside as you take a look around.
>Her house is filled with tiny creatures from birds to little mice that live in the walls.
>But past all her animal room mates she still keeps a very clean room attached to a kitchen with stairs leading up to a bedroom you suppose
>Fluttershy leads you into the kitchen.
>What she begins preparing is something she couldn't hide if she tried.
>Fish.
>You caught the smell instantly and began watching her.
>small talk was going between both of you as far as the differences in worlds and your adjustment to living with Rarity.
>Eventually it leads to the main topic at hand one you have been wanting to ask since you watched her start cooking.
>She places a plate in front of you with said fish and lettuce on the side.
“Fluttershy? What is this?”
>you weren’t stupid but...
>”W-well its fish... you eat fish right? You can turn into a big cat and bear so I assume”
“Calm down Fluttershy its fine just... its been a month since I had anything meat related. It smells great!”
>Fluttershy relaxing a bit as she places a bowl in front of her with various flowers and other plants.
>What she does next as she sits down stuns you.
>She picks up her fork with her wing and begins eating.
>...
>You can't help but watch her eat using her wing to wield the fork.
>She takes notice of you looking at her.
>”I-is something wrong?”
“No... That's just impressive.... I had no idea Pegasus had that kinda control of their wings.”
>”Oh its nothing really.”
>If you say so.
>The fish was more less bland but the fact it was a change from your normal diet recently it was very good
>Small talk over takes Fluttershy's kitchen as both of you talk of animals from your world and her various 'adventures' as she calls them while taking care of the animals.
>You begin to question how this one Pegasus manages to take care of so many animals.
>with mice living in the walls and birds with their own bird houses inside.
>Plus the bears and chickens she has.
>hell back in Azeroth she may have made a pretty good hunter.... Besides the killing part.
>Dinner finishes as Fluttershy takes your plate she asks a question.
>”So whats it like being an animal?”
>you're taken back by it as you let the question sink in.

“Its different really. Like everything is. When you shift... Its what I call it some other druids would call it change or just be that form. But its different. I had to learn how to breath and walk again. Your initial thought process changes. The way you move. Its like being something different but still being you... Does any of this make sense?”
>Looking at Fluttershy she listened without moving as she smiled at you nodding her head.
“Sorry its just hard to explain.”
>”Oh no that’s alright its just so fascinating! I can communicate with animals on a whole different level but for you you're able to change back and talk to me.”
“But I'm not an animal...”
>”I-I know.... Its just you can be... like when you and rainbow dash um....”
>She stops realizing she can't word it nicely.
“Yes.... I have a reason for that...”
>Fluttershy cocks her head as she places the plates down on the counter.
>Its still rather impressive how she can use her wings like that.
“Twilight told you I'm worgen correct?”
>”Yes.”
“she tell you anything about worgen?”
>”That um... That was the real you when you..” She talks really low but you cant hear it “Trixie”
“that is correct. Its considered a curse.... but a blessing. Its up to the.... worgen what it is to them. Trixie I screwed up. I shouldn't have attacked.  The reason I attacked is because if I'm put in an aggressive position this form disappears.”
>Fluttershy gives you a questioning look as a white rabbit hops onto the counter.
“Best way to explain is for you to hit me....”
>A look of fear over comes her as she backs up.
“I'm not going to hurt you its just best way to show it. Instincts kick in causing this form to fail-”
>your speech is cut off as the white rabbit hurls a carrot at you.
>Catching you off guard it was enough to drop it as you appear in Fluttershy's kitchen in worgen form.
“That.... I lose human form when I'm hit.” You try to talk softer but the growl in your voice only makes it harder.
>She calms down a bit after you don't move.
>Eventually both of you lock eyes as she stares at you.
>”That really is you!” She gasps after something clicks in your head.
“Yes.... This is the real me. Its nothing really surprising honestly. I'm the same Anonymous all of you met. Just lost in a world where violence isn’t the first answer for everything.”
>Maybe not lost you silently think to yourself.
>”Its not that bad. You're just a big fuzzy guy who having a hard time adjusting.”
>You smile at the statement but Fluttershy wrapping you in a hug startles you.
“Thanks Fluttershy but Twilight told me the town knows I attacked Trixie... they think I'm a monster not that I really care but I don't want to send them into a frenzied panic or cause problems.”
>Fluttershy backs up giving you a look of she wants to say something but doesn't know what to say.
>”What about um walking around like this?”
>Gesturing at you as you take a look at your claws...
>Alright at least she tried.
“I don't know. Maybe if I hadn't tried to hide this form it would have worked.”
>Standing up you change back to human.
“Thanks for the meal Fluttershy I enjoyed it. I need to get going and talk to Midnight in the night guard. Maybe she has some answers.”
>Saying you goodbyes Fluttershy gives you one last hug before you walk out the door.
>The entire time she kept shuffling her hooves around, Twirling them on the floor.

>Taking the dirt path once more you begin walking towards the guard house... or barracks what ever they want to call it.
>Reaching the dinky little place you knock on the door only to have it open slowly from the force of your knock.
>The door opens slowly showing Midnight sitting at a table with a bunch of paper work watching the door open slowly.
>”Did that door just open?” She looks at you as you nod walking in laughing.
>She sighs before getting a brick and closing the door with it.
>”Anonymous whats been going on? Sorry I didn't have time to come bother you at the hospital changelings have been sighted AGAIN and Celestia has been asking questions about you. You're lucky to have her student stick up for you, she was all up and ready to take you away for attacking her ponies.”
>You don't say anything as you gaze around the messy barracks.
>A two white ponies are sleeping in bunks with their armor on the floor.
>Must be royal guards.
>”and then when some of the town heard about you being worgen... what ever that is a few stepped forward defending you. Whats going on?”
>You shrug as you look at the two empty bunks. Must be for the night guards.
“I'm not sure. I know I messed up attacking that Trixie. So some ponies stepped forward?”
>”Yes. They even say you overreacted but they refuse to believe you're a monster.”
“So an apology or even walking around in worgen form would help?”
>”What? What is a worgen? You said you were human or a druid.”
“correct.”
>Shifting to worgen her eyes eyes widen a bit before returning to normal.
>”Alright that's cool but I don't see what the big deal is... you can turn into a bear or even a cat and bird...”
“I'm not entirely sure”
>Midnight jumps at your voice
>”Holy!.... you can talk?!”
>Giving her a deadpan stare you rub the bridge of your nose.
“Yes... This is the real me.... I never learned how to talk in my other forms before I arrived. Something I should work on. Look I came over here because of the whole me attacking Trixie thing... any ideas?”
>Midnight circles you examining closer as she makes “hmm” noises.
>”Much smaller then what every one said... right. You said something about an apology? Sounds dumb but maybe its your best bet. Celestia's student does these friendship reports, make something up about how you got worked up and attacked protecting them and you messed up”
“that sounds du-”
>Wait a fucking minute....
>Shes got a great fucking idea!
“You're god damn brilliant!”
>”Well of course I am!” she stands tall proud of herself.
>Looking around something is missing...
“Midnight.... wheres all the bits?”
>She gives a serious look.
>”We don't talk about that....”
“I um alright... well.... you gave me an idea so I'm gonna head home and sleep.... also thanks for the small care package while I was in the hospital”
>”Of course Anonymous.  You coming drinking with me tomorrow night?”
“doubtful... gotta “You shudder a bit “Friendship paper to write”
>”what ever nerd your loss”
“hey now... this nerd can drink you under the table easy. And last I checked you offered to pay-”
>”lalalalala not listening we said no talking about it lalala” she puts her hoofs in her ears while doing this laying her head on the ground with her ass in the air.
“but anyway thanks I'm gonna head out”
>She gets up with a smile
>”Alright Anonymous... be careful alright? You only have one life. No need to throw it away”
“Bah... now you're answering questions I didn't ask you.”
>You walk out the door heading back home.
>The walk is fairly quiet considering its the dead of night.
>but what Midnight said sticks with you.
>'You only have one life'
>Guards of all ponies would know of resurrection spells... maybe they haven't discovered them?
>Wait... how were.... no Anonymous you are not going to do this now.
>Shaking loose thoughts your eyes gaze to how far ponyville is.
“God this walk was quicker getting here.”
>Broken arm in bird form is a broken wing... no use there. Hmm no short way around it.

>you're almost to ponyville when you realize you're still in worgen form.
>Hopefully no one saw but you change quickly.
>You see no ponies at this time of night.
>If midnight went drinking you might hear some noises but no.
>All you hear is your breathing and footsteps.
>soon you reach Rarity’s or your home.
>Walking in its dark. Flicking a switch the lights turn on.
>Nothing out of place you flick the lights off using the moons light through windows to navigate through the house to your room.
>Reaching your room you do a leap of faith onto your bed.
>Your bed responds by hissing and clawing your cheek
“Fuck you to opal.” Crawling under the blanket you let thoughts meld together.
>Eventually the sting of opal clawing you becomes to much. Healing your cheek you relax as opal climbs into your chest.
>Well no getting up now... moving opal is like asking an orc to rip your head off.
>A friendship report....
“Dear princess Celestia.... today I learned.... no that sounds awful”
>laughing to yourself you throw the phrase around a bit before drifting off to sleep.
