Anon & Daylily's Funventure pt.1

>Walking, just loads and loads of walking in the very late evening, or maybe very early night even
>Who knows it’s dark as shit and you’re carrying a pack bag full of supplies in this slightly windy weather
>The nights and evenings are starting to become colder, is summer going to start slowly coming to an end? You would not like that, especially in your current living conditions
>You are Anonymous, a human who’s lucky enough to have gotten the chance to live his life in Equestria, the magical land of horsepussy from the cartoon you’ve been watching
>And also you are an utter moron
>You’ve rented a house to live in, and you found one that was told to be “some ways outside of Hollow Shades”, for fairly cheap
>You thought it’d be ok, it’s not that far out, you checked from some random ass map, some exercise will do you good and since it’s secluded you’ll have a lot of peace and quiet, but it should be near enough to the town to bring back a mare or two if you get lucky from Hollow Shades
>Too bad you were so excited about it that you sort of miscalculated how secluded it was
>Instead of being Anon the human who lives near Hollow Shades, you’re Anon the hermit who lives away from everything and is not considered to even live in Hollow Shades as it turns out
>Well, Hollow Shades is still the nearest town to you, but your house is surrounded by a lot of woods and you live close to some mountains
>And so far you have not had much luck with getting visitors since it’s actually such a hike to Hollow Shades you’d need to stay at an in instead of coming back
>Well that and having only lived here for a week and visiting Hollow Shade just once, you discovered it’s actually a shorter walk to a lone train station and from there you’ve only visited Manehattan once, and decided to make it a relaxing trip and stayed at a hotel, wasting most of your moneys
>So your first trip ever to Hollow Shades was completely uneventful since you woke up late and got a bit lost, you only restocked on various supplies and started to head back in
>Not to mention as it turns out the town isn’t really much alive during daylight hours, bat ponies seem to favor sleeping through the day and you’re unsure if you should start changing your sleeping schedule just yet to match the bat ponies
>But thinking about your situation comes to a halt when you see your little wooden cabin
>There’s light shining out from the windows and you know you did not leave anything on when you departed earlier today
>So ignoring your now aching feet you sneakily dart to your house and set the bag of supplies onto the porch and check the door
>It’s open, and there’s sounds of rummaging and muffled talking coming from the inside
>Carefully you push the door open and peak in while listening for any sounds so you can confirm how many whatever’s are inside your house
>To your surprise you find the backside of a pony staring straight at you from across the house as the pony rummages through your stuff while muttering
>A bat pony it seems, judging by the wings neatly folded against her sides
>A white grey batpony with navy blue wings and denim blue mane as well as tail
>You stare at her cutie mark that seems to be some kind of a peach colored flower
>She has not noticed you and you decide to stop crouching and walk in, you were worrying it might have been some kind of a scary creature
>You walk behind her and hen keep looking at her butt, you were pretty sure she’d take notice of you already
>You could just call out to the intruder but you could also do something humorous just for the heck of it, maybe-
>The bat pony mare suddenly stopped and looked behind her, locking her eyes with yours, same color as her cutie ma-
>You don’t get to finish your train of thought or the greeting you were about to give her, a very sophisticated one like “Sup” or “Hi” but she proceeded to buck you first
>And almost on your family jewels, but thankfully her aim was just a hint upwards and hat you on the abdomen, because it hurts like hell
>With a cry of pain you fall down, mostly because you got spooked she crushed your testicles, but then there’s suddenly a tug here and there and before you know it your arms and legs are bound
>And as you wiggle around and look up you find the mare staring at you with a stern expression on her face
>”Who...what are you and what are you doing in my house?”
>You stare at the pony with confusion as she keeps studying you with her eyes
“Your house? This is my house.”
>Her expression becomes more hostile
>”So you’re the one who has moved my stuff somewhere, where are they?”
>What stuff? Sure the place was ready furnished but there was no stuff, none at all, you checked
“I have done nothing to anything”
>”You’re lying. Why else would you be staying in my house?”
“No I’m no, here let me-t”
>You wiggle around and manage to sit up, alarming the pony as she opens up her wings and seems to take a stance of sorts
“Check that cabinet over there, there’s my contract for renting his house”
>You nudge towards a cabinet with your head
>The bat pony seems suspicious but slowly walks to the cabinet without taking her eyes off of you and rummages around with one of her wings, and pulls out a piece of paper, your rental contract and starts to read it
>And hear ears return back to their normal position, and then start to bend backwards and by the time she’s done with the paper they’re fully floppy
>”Your story checks out, I can’t believe they re-rented the house...”
>She sets the paper back down and her ears fold back up and with a sigh she walks to you and undoes the knots on the rope that is tying you down
>You get up and wince how sore your abdomen feels
>”I apologize for bucking you, I wasn’t sure what you were and thought you were some kind of a troll creature who had taken over my house”
>Wait troll creature? Now you know you’re not that ugly, hell you’re actually pretty handsome so thanks for that random rude pony
“Maybe you should not go around bucking poor creatures, that really hurt”
>The pony simply pulls up a chair and sits down
>”My name is Daylily, the pony who previously lived in this house. And it was supposed to still be rented to me”
>You pull up a chair as well land sit at the small table, opposite from this Daylily bat pony
“Daylily, is that even your real name? It sounds awfully non-bat pony-like, you’re sure you haven’t just made it up on the spot?”
>Daylily stares at you for a few seconds while looking a bit frustrated
>”Why would I make up a name, and even if I did I’d choose something like that?”
>You shrug
“I don’t know, you might just be a burglar who’s just pulling things out of her ass so I won’t turn her in to the authorities”
>Daylily’s expression changes back to her serious face
>”I see, yes that is possible, how would I proof that I am telling the truth?”
>Well, now you find yourself at a loss for words, you have no idea
“Well I guess that...”
>You don’t really care that much if it is true or not, you just wanted to get back at the mare for kicking you and then binding you up
>Well, the silence is getting awkward so might as well try to strike up a conversation while you’re thinking
“You said you’ve been gone for a while, where were you?”
>Her ears droop once again and her expression changes, for a brief moment she seems a bit...sad?
>”I was out training, in the mountains”
>Her ears rise back up and the hint of sadness is gone
“Training, why? And why in the mountains?”
>”I wanted to get stronger and I’ve read and heard of many stories where the main character goes to train in the mountains in seclusion to power up fast so that’s what I did”
>The bat pony lets out a sigh
>”The pony renting out this place must have thought I’d gone missing, I was gone for a long while, but not long enough for all the money I paid for rent in advance to have ran out”
>Suddenly it seems like the pony realized something
>”When you came in you noticed that the door was not broken in am I correct?”
>You stare at the pony for a few seconds
“Wha? Oh right yeah the door was open”
>The pony nods and flashes you a smug smile for a brief second
>”I came in with a key instead of breaking down the door so that proofs you that I am telling the truth”
>You nod
“Yeah you’re right”
>Not that you were actually concerned about that to begin with but at least now you’re sure she’s probably telling the truth
>”I’m going to have to go and have a chat with that pony to sort things out. Goodbye Anonymous creature”
>The pony climbs off of the chair
“A human, I’m a human”
>The pony pauses and looks at you again
>”So this is what a human looks like, I heard a few rumors about your kind when traveling back from the mountains”
>But then she takes flight and starts to slowly head towards the door
>”I apologize for the inconvenience”
>But as she opens up the door there’s a howl loud enough to make you jump coming from somewhere, somewhere very close to your house
>Daylily quickly slams the door close and locks it before rushing to turn off the light
“What is it?”
>Daylily signs for you to stay quiet and peeks out from a window
>”Timber wolves, I ran into a big pack of them and they’ve been following me for a few nights, I though I’d lost them”
>You quickly sneak closer to the pony and the window
“Timber wolves, out here?”
>Daylily nods
>”It’s weird, but there, look”
>She points at something outside your window and you look out
>And see one, two, three and son enough 5 timber wolves sniffing around on the yard
>And they look much more intimidating than you’d have thought for a pile f wood and sticks walking around
“What are we going to do”
>Daylily suddenly yanks you down as one of the wolves turns to look straight at the window
>”We’ll wait for them to leave and I’ll notify the town guards at Hollow Shades once I reach the town”
>Suddenly Daylily quickly puts distance to the window and yanks you away from it, just in time as a timber wolf rams its head through the window screen
>It locks eyes with you and lets out a growl that is joined by more growling coming from the outside
>You stare back at the snarling wooden beast while feeling your pulse picking up
“Fuck”


“Fuck”
>”What are you lying around on your butt? Get up quick!”
>Daylily suddenly delivers a flying kick to the timber wolf’s face, knocking the creature’s head out from the window frame
>”Help me push this closet!”
>Daylily flies to the large wooden wardrobe and starts to push it, and you join her in doing so
>And not a moment too soon, as the two of you slide it to block the broken window something rams against it, hard
“Whoa they’re strong!”
>You quickly push the wardrobe against the wall with your whole weight so it does not fall over
>”Do you have anything heavy around here?”
>You quickly look around and then point at a large wooden trunk
“That thing!”
>Daylily quickly flies to the trunk and starts to push it towards you, struggling to do so as she flaps her wings hard but the trunk just slowly drags along the floor
>Another knock against the wardrobe almost makes you and it fall over
“Hurry! I can’t hold this for much longer!”
>Daylily grits her teeth’s and starts to flap her wings even faster, sweat pouring down her face
>”I’m...trying!”
>Daylily managed to get the trunk to you and the two of you position it in front of the wardrobe, and not a moment too soon
“Shit that was really intense!”
>Daylily turns her attention to the door
>”It’s too late to relax yet, fortify the door quickly!”
“Ok, right”
>You rush to your couch and drag it in front of the door, and soon enough all of your furniture has been made into barricades at the window and the door
>And then you collapse onto the floor and rest against the wall while wiping a few beads of sweat off of your forehead
>Daylily too lies to rest on the floor and breathes heavily a few times to calm her breathing down
“Thanks”
>Daylily turns to look at you and tilts her head in slight confusion
“For kicking that timber wolf so it didn’t get in”
>Daylily turns her head away from you and to look at the barricade on the broken window
>”That’s a given, if it got in we’d both be in trouble”
>You’d like to imagine she’s looking away to hide some kind of a blush and feeling shy about letting you see it, but her tone of voice suggests otherwise
>Still it does not stop you from imagining it happening
“Now what? We wait for them to leave?”
>Daylily rolls over and lies in her back
>”No, we’re trapped, if they’ve been following me for this long there’s no way they’d give up, and they will eventually get in”
>You stare at the bat pony as she sighs and stares at the ceiling, seemingly in deep thought
“How about Hollow Shades? Shouldn’t the towns guard ponies be able to deal with this?”
>Daylily rolls over once again and gets up
>”Yeah, we need to get to Hollow Shades next, and I know how we can do it”
>You stare at the pony as she walks to you and then stops in front of you
>You stare back at her for a brief second
“Are you going to tell me how?”
>The pony blinks once
>”Are you going to get up?”
>This little...
>A loud thump followed by the sounds of wood giving out under the pressure makes both of you jump a little and turn your attentions to the door and find a dent in it
>You quickly get back onto your feet
“Yeah getting up sounds good”
>The pony nods and takes flight so she’s more at eye level with you
>”There’s a small window up in the attic, we’ll get out from there and sneak away while the wolves are busy trying to break in”
“Ok let’s do that and hurry, like right now”
>But as you say it she has already flown to the hatch and pulled it open, making the ladder slide down
>She flies into the attic and squeezes in and you follow close behind
“Ommph”
>”H-hey watch it!”
>Maybe a bit too close behind, you ram your face right into her butt
>You were not really paying attention to her but at the door that seems to be close to breaking down
>You take a few steps down on the ladder
“Sorry but I had bigger things to worry about than your ass”
>Daylily stops moving
>”...Are you saying my ass is bi-wah!”
>You push her inside the attic by her butt
“We’ll have this talk when we have the time for it!”
>You crawl into the attic as well and quickly pull the ladder up just as a timber wolf manages to ram its head in through the door and look around
>You turn around and find Daylily glaring at you and as she looks like she’s about to say something you sign for her to stay silent and then point downwards
>Her face returns back to looking serious and she nods, and then slowly sneaks towards the small window at the end of the attic space while you crawl behind her, her tail hitting you on the face every now and then
>But you’re not really complaining since you’re getting a pretty nice view, shame you can’t wholeheartedly enjoy it while feeling this tense about the whole surviving thing
>The attic is empty and dark except for the bright moonlight shining in through the window
>There’s cobwebs here and there and dust all over the floor, you haven’t used this storage space at all yet
>But as it is a pretty tight fit already by pony standards, you’re really struggling to move around in it comfortably
>Judging by the sounds going on the timber wolves have not yet gotten inside the house yet
>Daylily fiddles with the small window and pushes it open, and then flies out into the night
>You peek out from the window, how are you going to get out of it safely? It’s not that huge of a drop but not that small either, maybe climbing out carefu-
>Suddenly there’s a loud crash and the sound of furniture being flung all over
>Daylily turns around and hisses at you with urgency
>”Quickly they’re in!”
>And you decide to take a leap of faith and jump/roll out of the window and managing to land down and roll forward, back onto your feet from your landing position like you were Leon from Resident Evil 4
>Your amazement at your flawless jump is interrupted by Daylily flying past you and giving you a quick poke with her hoof as she peaks around the corner
>She then signals for you to follow her and you try to be as quiet as possible as you follow her
>As you go past your front porch and now busted door you quickly grab your backpack you left on it
>”Oh no!”
>The loud growl makes you look in the direction of Daylily who’s in front of you, heading towards the path to the woods
>But there stands a timber wolf in front of her
>Suddenly you can hear more growling from within the house and see a few timber wolves rushing do the doorway
“Run!”
>You take off into the woods with Daylily flying behind you
>Damn it it’s so dark, you almost fell over!
>Daylily manages to fly past you now, making you pick up your pace as the sounds of the timber wolves after the two of you come louder and louder
>Daylily reaches a small clearing in front of the two of you but suddenly comes to a screeching halt, making you almost run into her
>And in front of the two of you is a larger, more mangy looking timber wolf than the rest
>”A dire timber wolf?!”
“I take it that’s bad?”
>The timber wolves that were after the two of you form a circle around the edges of the small clearing, blocking your way back
>Daylily lets out a growl of frustration while looking back and forth between the timber wolves as the dire one takes a step forward, snarling
>You really wish you were a smoker and had some lighter fluid on you right now, or a chainsaw
>How are the two of you going to get out of this?


>Daylily lands between you and the dire timber wolf ad starts staring it down
>”Back off for your own good.”
>The d-t-wolf growls loudly at Daylily who answers with a scree
>The other wolves now seem to pay more attention to the pony and the dire one as they slowly start to circle one another
>Daylily comes closer and closer to a large rock, and then stops
>You and the crowd of timber wolves keep looking to see what happens next
>One timber wolf suddenly pokes you with a bag of popcorn
>You stare at the bag and the wolf, and it signals you to pass it onwards, seems like you and the timber wolves have formed a circle of onlookers now
>You grab the bag of popcorn, grab some into your mouth and then pass it on to the next timber wolf who does not even glance in your way as it grabs it
>...should you run away or something?
>Daylily suddenly punches the rock with her hoof, instantly shattering it into a million pieces, making you choke and spit out some popcorn
>Wait hold up now how strong is this pony exactly?
>The dire timber wolf takes a step back and snarls while Daylily pushes her chest out proudly and stares the wolf down more intensely
>But then the dire timber wolf grabs a smaller rock between its jaws and tries to break it
>...and keeps trying to break it
>The crowd of timber wolves start to snarl and growl as the dire timber wolf fails to break the stone and spits it out
>Daylily seems awfully smug now as she stares at the wolf, which seems to seriously piss it off and it lets out a loud roar
>Daylily snorts in annoyance and quickly joins your side as the wolves almost instantly switch back to being aggressive and positioning themselves all around you and the pony, dropping the bag of popcorn to the ground and trampling all over it in the process
>Daylily turns her head to look at you
>”Negotiations have failed, on my mark run to the right”
“What ne-“
>All the wolves charge towards the two of you
>”NOW!”
“Fuck!”
>Just barely you manage to dodge the few wolves to your right as Daylily simply flies past them
>But then you feel a tug and whip your head around
>One of the wolves has grabbed a hold of your back pack and starts to shake its head from side to side, ripping it open and spilling most of the contents of it on the ground
>You manage to get away as the wolf is left with a large chunk of your back pack in its mouth and instantly skedaddle away like a black man running from the law
>But it seems that this has worked in your favor as the wolves trying to run after you two trip and fall down on the various cans and other items that spilled out of your back pack
>”Quick there’s a cave near us, we can hide there if we manage to put enough distance between us and them!”
>You look at the pony flying above you
“You think we can make it?”
>Daylily glances behind her
>”Yeah we can make it”
>You hope she’s right as you run to where she is leading you
>Soon enough the two of you arrive at a cave entrance and Daylily lands down on the ground before it
>She looks around and so do you, there’s no sign of the timber wolves anywhere
“You think we’re in the clear?”
>Daylily keeps looking around a bit more but then relaxes a little
>”I think we lost them, for now. We should camp out for the night in this cave and then-“
>Suddenly the dire timber wolf, followed by normal timber wolves jump out from the woods and rush towards you and the bat pony
>And you don’t plan on sticking around and run past Daylily and towards the cave
“Come on!”
>but then you quickly come to a stop, what if this cave is a dead end with no way out?
>You almost turn around but Daylily runs at you and head-butts you inside the cave before taking flight again
>”Now we’ve got to go fast!”
>But as she yells out to you she has her head turned backwards at you, meaning she’s not looking where she’s going and she flies head first into a huge stalactite on the ceiling
>”Ouch!”
>Daylily and you stare in horror as a crack forms on it and spreads around it
>And then it falls as Daylily quickly flies towards you, but then stops and looks horrified
>You glance behind yourself as the stalactite hits the ground and see the open maw of a timber wolf about to crush your head
>But then the floor gives out
“SHIIIIIITTT!”
>In panic you flail your arms around and try to grasp onto anything, and manage to grab onto something
>”WAIT LET GO!”
>And it turns out to be Daylily’s tail
>Both of you scream as you fall into the darkness accompanied by a bunch of timber wolves while pulling Daylily down with you
>And then everything goes dark as you hit your head
>...
>...ughh...what happened...the floor...right it gave out!
>Your eyes fly open and you come face to face with the visage of the dire timber wolf
“OH HELL!”
>Quickly you scamper away, only to be stopped by something behind you
>”Calm down”
>You turn your head and find daylily behind you with her hoof against your back, keeping you from putting any more distance between you and the dire timber wolf
>”It’s dead”
>Daylily lets go and points at the creature with her hoof
>You stare at it and find it not moving, and now that you look at it properly it is buried under a pile of large stones among with a lot of other timber wolves
“You sure? I know that these things can come apart and put themselves back together or something”
>”I’m sure, it’s already been an hour”
>An hour? For you it just felt like you blacked out for a couple of seconds
>You look up and find that the hole you fell in from is quite a way up
“You stayed with me for the whole time instead of getting any help?”
>You look back at Daylily who turns around and shows you her wing
>it looks off
>”Could not have flown out even if I wanted to, I hurt my wing in the fall, can’t fly at all”
“Oh, that must be my fault for grabbing, you know, your tail and all”
>You play it off by letting out a nervous chuckle which Daylily ignores
>So she did not stay behind for you...that’s kind of disappointing, not that you should expect anything to happen with a pony you have just met but still...
“You do know where we are right?”
>Daylily sits down and shakes her head
>”No I have never seen this area”
>She then looks up at the hole in the ceiling from where some moonlight shines in
>”Even the official cave is not completely familiar to me, I know a bit about it but...”
>Daylily lets out a sigh and you also turn your eyes towards the opening you two fell through, way up in the ceiling, far from the reaches of both of you
“From one thing into another...”
