nu chap doods!
and now, I will show Jay's past
Jay did his best to climb a tree after he was far enough from the little camp
"Twi is right..." he mubmled "I'm a nuisance..."
he turned to the stars, trying to hold back his tears. a cold breeze blew, and the moon was shining pale. his world had crumbled before him. he turned to the ground and closed his eyes. one only tear rolled down his cheek and he couldn't help it but fall asleep.
Jay's memories...
there's large building, built near the the peak of a mountain, a famous school for ponies. in the grounds of the school a foal, who had a pair fo glasses hanging over his nose, who seemed to be at least nine years old, walked lonely.
"I don't know why am I here" he mumbled to himself
he was in that school for reasons he didnt understand. his family was having a very hard time economicaly, so they decided to send him north, with a part of his family that was more stable. the poor boy had no friends there, and he wasn't very fond to the family. at school he always spent his time alone, drawing and writing in the snow. one day a pegasus, who seemed a bit younger than him, ran up to him hiding
"What are you doing?" the boy said
"They wanna attack me!" the pegasus yelled pointing something behind them
There was a pair of ponies, who seemed older than them. the pony was blocking them.
"What are you doing there?" the older ones snapped "are you going to defend this freak"
"What did he do to you?" the kid said
"he just lurks around like an idiot" one of them reasured
"Is that all?" the pony said "You wanna attack him because he's alone? that's stupid!"
The pegasus looked at the older pony confused, he was trying to process what was happening. a pony who knew next to nothing about him was protecting him without caring what would happen to him
"move aside, or else!" the other threatened
the pony just stood there, hoping the others would just leave. not the case, they just attacked them both. both the bullies went away and left the two young foals there.
"hey, you shouldn't have done that" the pegasus said "now you're hurt too"
"hehe... I thought you'd need some help"
"then... I think we should be friends" the pegasus said smiling "My name is Eternal Blizzard, pleasure"
"Call me Jay" the pony said with a smile
End of Jay's memories...
Jay woke up, he was trying to keep calm but he couldn't hold his tears back. his memories haunted him, his mind forced him to remember his friends, how they met, and all they lived together
"That day I met my best friend" he muttered remembering Blizz.
he tried to sleep once more, but again the memories of his best friends invaded his dreams.
memories again...
Jay and Eternal Blizzard were running from the bullies again, they were escaping once more, not because they lurked around or stuff like that, they pranked the bullies. after running for ten minutes or so, they ended up running to a forest near the school. Jay and Blizz walked further and got lost in the forest.
"dude... I think we're lost" Blizz said
"yup..." Jay mumbled "and if we don't leave now... we're screwed"
Both tried to split up and find a way out, just to find themselves a bunch of times before realizing they were walking in circles. after what seemed more than two hours, they found a foal, he seemed just a bit younger than Jay. the pony was sitting there, it seemed he was waiting for something to happen.
"Hey" Jay called
The pony raised his head a bit, and looked down again. Blizz tried to get closer but the pony pushed him away. Jay got closer, he was stronger stronger than Blizz, so when the tiny pony tried to push him (and failed) he decided to ignore them
"What's up?" Jay said trying to look him in the eye
The pony's red eyes blankly looked at a little piece of paper he was holding with his hooves. Jay took it and read. it was a letter from his mother.
"what's it say?" Blizz asked pushing Jay a bit
"ahem" jay cleared his throat. 'Dear Son,
Your father and I have to go to canterlot,
it's an important event
don't worry, your sister will take care of you
signed: Mom'"
The pony sobbed a bit. then Jay sat near him and asked
"What Happened buddy?"
"My parents..." he muttered
"What happened to your parents?" Blizz asked sitting on his other side
"they..." the pony mumbled "they died while they stayed in canterlot"
Jay and Blizz hugged him lightly
"Why are you alone?" Jay said
"Don't you have a sister?" Blizz asked readin the letter once more
"She died... on an accident" the pony mumbled
Blizz looked away, remembering what happened to his family, in the avalanche.
"I did my research..." he said raising his voice a bit "the only thing I could find out was that the accidents were related to Prince Blueblood so the police let it that way"
All of them cried a bit, then Jay got up
"hey, you have a place to stay?" he asked
"Nope..."
"Wanna come with me?" Jay said offering his hoof
"Uuuhhh... sure..." the pony said
"What's your name?" Jay said helping him get up
"I'm Frizzy" he said
memories end...
"AAAAH!" Jay screamed to himself "Stop remebering them! it's just more suffering for you..."
he didn't try to sleep anymore, if he didn't sleep the memories wouldn't slap him in the face anymore. he looked to the sky trying to stop his mind from any thought and maybe find a way to sort it out then another memory came to his mind. he wasn't sad anymore, he was furious, or at least outside he was. inside he was fighting with his own mind, the part that was the wolf was trying to get out and controll him once more, the other was struggling to keep it in.
"you won't have to suffer anymore" he heard "you'll be inside... forever... no more suffering..."
Jay's mind tried to find a way to say no, but the wolf was another mind, it was smarter, he had an answer for anything Jay could say. finally Jay gave up on trying, he let the wolf take control over his mind. as soon as the wolf took control Jay's mind sealed him inside the wolf, letting him alone and his memory to himself.
"this feels good" He thought "I don't have to suffer anymore... I don't have to be mad, or sad, I can float around my memories... forever..."
his eyes looked around through his memories, they were floating around like tiny spheres of light. Jay's attention was dragged directly to one of the spheres, it had a tiny image of his school floating inside it, he touched it it and suddenly appeared in his school. he looked around, there were no ponies there. he kept on walking through the fields of the school until he arrived to a little cave inside the forest he met frizzy. he remembered, it was a special place for him and his friends. they didn't have much friends, but there they met one of the best. he heard some voices coming from outside the cave, he couldn't forget those voices. he perfectly remembered everything now.
"now I understand how it works" he said to himself
memories...
Jay and his friends ran through the forest they were escaping the bullies yet again. another day another prank, they were used to running from the bulies, it had become their favourite game. after a while they ran into a tiny cave when they were sure the bullies grew tired of chasing them, they burst into laughter
"You saw that?" Blizz said trying to surpress his laughter "that is how you shove a bucket full of crabs into a pony's head"
"you saw when I threw that rock over Spade's head? classic joke" Jay said
When frizzy was about to say what he did, they all heard something from deep in the cave. Jay leaded the search into the cave. after five minutes they found a bright red light that seemed as a unicorn's power.
"Guys I think we should go back" frizzy said "I'm sure the break is almost over"
"it's hardly been five minutes, and we still have a lot of time before the break is over" jay said
they hid behind some rocks and saw a tiny unicorn, he seemed to be one or two years younger than them. the little unicorn was casting some spells, he didn't seem to be too much of an expert but he sure was good. he was tring what some of them recalled to be transformation spells. when Jay was sure there was no problem he walked towards the tiny pony. the unicorn turned to him and immediatley freaked out.
"no, no, wait I'm just trying to..." Jay said
before Jay could finish his sentence the unicorn attacked him with his magic and ran away. Jay opened his eyes and looked around himself, Blizz and Frizz' eyes were wide open and their mouths agape.
"What is it?" Jay said
"D-dude..." Frizz said "you... you're..."
"what the heck is it?" Jay said
"you're kinda..." Blizz said surpressing his laughter "Girly"
Jay looked at himself, the jinx that the unicorn casted over him had turned him into a filly. at first he freaked out a bit, but then he thought of something else.
"Guys" Jay said trying to put the lowest voice she could "we have to catch that unicorn and make him turn me back to normal"
"Okay 'May'" Frizz said
"May?" blizz asked turning to Frizz
"Well it's kind of the same as her normal name" Frizz said "and it makes more sense than calling a girl 'Jay'"
"well I guess you're right, let's get going" May said walking deeper into the cave
When they were deeper into the cave, they heard something behind some rocks. May walked to the rocks, and saw something behind it. it was the unicorn, taking a look at him she noticed his coat was orange and his mane was yellow with some reddish tones. he sheepishly smiled at May, he knew his mistake.
"You have to fix this" May said putting her hoof on the pony's shoulder
"I don't know how" the unicorn said "It was an accident!"
"ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?" May screamed hiperventilating "HOW AM I GOING BACK TO THE SCHOOL!"
"I think I could check my books" the pony said
"Do it now!" the filly screamed
"L-listen... my books are in the school" he said "I just come here to practise"
"Let's get his books" Frizzy said turning around
"I think I'll stay here" may said "I don't want anypony to see me until this kid turns me back to a colt"
"hey! I have a Name!" the pony said punching May soflty
"And what exactly is that name?" May asked before returning the punch
"I'm Fire Tornado, miss" he said
May smacked him again and laughed a bit. the other boys ran away to the school and gathered all the magic books they could find.
"So, Fire Tornado" May said "why are you alone?"
"I... don't like company"
"Why? you're a handosme guy!" May said before covering her mouth "that jinx is seriously turning me into a girl"
"Thanks for wat you said, but..." he said "I don't like being around other ponies..."
"whatcha mean?" May saig putting her hoof around him
"I'd better hang out with my family" the unicorn said using his magic to take a tiny phto out oh his mane
in the photo there were two unicorns similar to him, a colt who Jay asumed was Fire and a foal that slept on the mother's back.
"are they your family?" may asked looking at the baby pony
"yeah... those are my parents" then he turned to the tiny pony "she's my sister..."
"What happened?" SHe asked noticing fire was sadly looking down "you seem sad"
"mom... just... abbandoned me in the forest" Fire said
"woah..." she muttered turning around
"and my father sent me here so he wouldn't have to see my face" he said
"I..." May tried to say but she had nothing that could help the poor guy
"And my sister... she..." Fire sobbed "she's in a coma..."
May hugged the pony lightly, his life had been very hard (not more than Frizz or Blizz' life though). almost like a big sister or a mother, May put her hoof on Fire's shoulder, she smiled to him. before she could say anything, Blizz and Frizzy came back.
"Hey guys we..." Blizz said
"well well well well well well well" frizzy said "WHat do we have here?"
"It's not what it looks like!" May yelled "just hand over the books!"
After checking a ton of books they found a dusty book, it seemed very old, and the cover was almost completley ripped off, the cover of the book was written in japanese
"It says... uh... Tenkuu no Shihaisha: adovansusupersugaido" (天空の支配者:アドヴァンススペルガイド) Jay read "It's... if my japanese is right, an old tome of 'Ruler of Heavens: Advanced Spell Guide' a book ninth grade magic class book"
"What's a kid your age doing with a book for ninth graders?" Blizz asked
"We checked your classroom, you're in first grade" Frizz said checking the book
"I find stuff for first graders boring" the kid said "but they won't let me study advanced stuff untill I'm older"
"enough chat!" May screamed impatiently "I need you to turn me back into a..."
"Don't be impatient Ma'am" Fire interrupted smirking "I'm being careful! this book, is more than a hundred years old"
After a while Fire found what he was looking for.
"Chapter 18: Shape shifting spells" Fire muttered after turning the page once more "spell number 1897, Gender alterations"
Fire read the spell for some time until he fully memorized it. he stood on all fours, and used his magic. a tiny flash of light blinbed them and all of a sudden May turned into Jay once more.
"It's good to be me again" Jay said
"Say... if you're bored of first grade stuff..." Blizz said "why don't we teach ya? we're in third grade, I guess we can help"
Fire took a very respectfull tone and sat in fromt of them
"you'll help me even when I turned your friend into a girl?" he said bowing his head "you're my masters from now on!"
End of memories...
Jay was in the room of the spheres again, he curled up in there, gathering all his memories around him, enjoying them one by one, not knowing what was happenning outside of his mind
Enough for this chap
