The Anon named Chappy (Part 10)

>It was a dark and stormy night
>Yeah right. Can't forget highschool horror story
>Minus the storm, night and dark you'll get Everfree forest
>Yeah, minus the dark. It's actually a decent place to trek
"Shoeshine. How many times have you explored the forest?"
>"Four times. This is the fifth expedition."
>Four times huh
"Any one of them is at night?"
>"Sadly, no. Most of the forest's creatures prowl at night. All are nasty."
>Wait. Doesn't that means...
"Weird. If you can do it alone... Why do you need me?" you said while brandishing the machete
>"Like I said, it's no fun alone."
>Ouch. Can't deny that truth
>"Besides, with you here... Our chance to survive is higher."
>"...and the expidition would last longer."
"Which means the other four is a failure?"
>"Well...Can't say it's a failure. Just abandoned halfway. Those timberwolves always mess things up. Gotta bail before others come"
>Putting a hoof on a timberwolf, not bad. Not bad at all
>Wonder how would you face them
>Form the show, they are pretty weak
>One shot and they're in pieces
>But.... That one time
>They changed into a fuck huge wolf
'Hopes there's a lighter in the bag'
>After what it felt like 30 minutes of walking, Shoeshine and you arrived in front of Zecora's hut
>You're glad that nothing interrupted your trip so far
>"Here goes nothing"
>You can here her gulp
>What? She never met her or something?
>Knock knock
>No response
>...
>"Well then let's get a move on!" she said as her body turned and walk away
"Oh no you don't."
>You grabbed her hoof
>"I want to meet her. There are... Some questions need to be answered."
>Knock knock
>...
>Anytime now
>"See? She's not there so let's--"
>"Refrain your knock, the door is unlock"
>You heard the voice inside
>Both of you look at each other
>"Well... You go first, Chappy. Since you're the one that knocks last"
>Shrug, Nothing bad will happen. I mean, c'mon she's a nice zebra.
"Sorry to disturb you."
>"If I'm going to guess, what is your quest?"
>Zecora, pls
>I can't do rhyming
"I...Uhhh...a new brony in this settlement...looking for a cure... for... our ailment?"
>"Hahaha. It's not a crime, to not rhyme."
>If you say so
>"Why do you need a shaman, for your ailment...human?"
>She called you human
>Which means...
"I... Think you know what's up... A group of humans had come to Equestria. From the looks of it, the princesses don't know how to transport us back. And apparently Discord too. Unless.."
>"So... brony is a human race?" Shoeshine curiously interupted
"No... It's just...a misunderstanding. We're human in term of species. Think of... Bronies as a tribe. Sort of."
>A tribe of adults obsesed with pastel coloured ponies
>"Oh, okay. Got it."
>Good, because I don't know how to explain it in any other way
>Where was I?
>Ah. Questioning the Shaman
"Unless they are testing Twilight? Anyway, do tell us your insights."
>She clears her throat
>"It's a rumor long told, the sisters are friends with a human of old"
>An old guy, so it happened before.
>"A human he was, a pony he dies"
>Okay, so he turned into a pony
>"A unicorn of great powers, brought spells that rivals the sisters"
>Isn't that--
>You heard a gasp besides you
>"Starswirl the Bearded was a human!?"
"No fucking way."
>"It's a rumor of old, don't expect it's gold"
>True, can't based on rumor alone
>Looks like your next step is to meet the regal sisters
>"How long you plan to stay, because I don't have much hay"
>What's that supposed to mean? Just to rhyme stuff
"I real---"
>"Until tomorrow. Don't forget, you're with me."
>Shrug
>At least you're not sleeping outside
>"There's a question in mind, but do you mind?"
"Go on."
>"How does a human knows our tale, sit down and do tell."
>OH SHIT NIGGA YOU'RE BUSTED
>"I...uhh...I heard it from Twilight."
>Hope she buys it
>"A lie is what you said, why are you afraid?"
>Fuck
"You have no prove."
"One day ago, a brony came. Yet today, here you came."
>Shit
>You stand there silently, unsure what to do
>"Chappy, please. Speak up. I might be a rowdy mare, but I am no liar."
>"Your life will not be put on the line, I'll put a ward to make the world blind."
>She gets up and take some poles and goes outside
>A few minutes later, she came inside and nods telling the deed is done.
"Well, then. Where should I begin."
