Chapter two - When it's all over.

It has been three days since the incident and I have been spending my days in the only way I can, taking naps and questioning Twilight. It was quite awkward speaking to her to begin with because of her rather provocative garb but once she was changed, we were as good as pals together and we spent many hours talking together, I learned at one point through it all that I am the only one of my kind here. This scared me a little, I didn't want to be the only human on this world but if that was to be, then it shall be. I went outside on the third day, too sick of being stuck in the dungeon/house/place. The sun was warm on my skin and the wind fresh on my face. You would have thought today was a normal perfect day if it weren't for the sound of the ponies in the near distance and the growls of a wolf behind me............ Wait. Wolf? I turn a full 180 as I stare up at the leviathan before me, it had to be at least a floor tall and with jaws wide enough to gulp me up in one go and it was just standing there no more than 50 feet away, looking mad as hell and ready to kill.

I was frozen, fright taking over my body, keeping me in place, I was screwed if I couldn't move. I watched as this gargantuan beast begins to walk towars me slowly, slowly creeping towards me demise. I could smell the breath of the beast and I was almost ready to puke on the spot, this was the incentive I got to allow to move again and I took advantage of it, I look back towards the building I left. It was no more than five meters away, I could make it if I tried but it'd be close. I readied myself as It continued to pad its way towards me. It was now or never and I jumped but I hadn't gotten two meters before I struck out with one of it's mighty front paws and sent me flying into the unknown forest. I landed hard and I was sure it had cracked a few bones on landing but other than that I was fine. I quickly scrabbled to my feet again and made a break for it but being me I had forgotten how big the beast was and how futile it was to run from such a thing, It had in no time but this time it had me in its mouth but it didn't bite down, this was....... I would have thought on it more if it wasn't for the strange light coming from the forest taking up my attention, how that took up more of my attention than being in a massive direwolf mouth id never know but it did and what came from that light amazed me. A five foot tall wall of fire was head right at me, at the wolf, I could feel the fear coursing through its veins, In the second for me to see it coming at me, I felt it wash over my body and strike the wolf with an impact hard enough to send it into the trees and dropping me in the process. I had landed much to hard for my liking and knew now that something was broken from the feeling it was giving me, I checked my body and found that my body was barely harmed in the flames except for a few stray burnt hairs. I was still looking myself over when I heard the sound of someone trying to get my attention. I started to look up expecting a pony to have saved my skin to find it was a massive two legged walking jungle cat standing before me with a few wisps of smoke still twirling from his fingers, he was looking at me with a rather amused look on his face as though he'd seen something funny. I couldn't tell what was funny.

"What the! Who and what are you?!" I question after gently pulling myself into a sitting position. The smile drops from his face and he pretend to show hurt at my question.

"Why, I am, Firepaw. Head Fire mage of the north and to what I am, I am a tiger. Firepaw is the name, blasting you away is my game". He replies smugly yet again. I took a moment to get a better look at my savior and noticed he was toting a katana on his back as well, a rather nice weapon in my books. I begin to stand but instantly fall back at the intense punishment my ankle felt is had taken, I wasn't getting nowhere for a while.

"Say. Firepaw, was it? Could you give me a hand getting back to that hut there? I think my ankle is broken". He looks towards it and then at me, he then without warning stoops down and pulls me up into his mighty paws and carries me to the entrance. "What did you do to that direwolf? Is it dead?" He just shakes his head.

"Nah, He's not dead but I dont think we'll be worrying about him for a little while". We get to the door and then he carries me in that drops me down on the sofa in the main room. "Oh, before I leave, what's your name? I didn't catch it before".

"Anon, and thank you for saving my life".

"Think nothing of it. I can already tell we'll be seeing a lot more of each other in the future. Take care". He then turns away and walks out the door and takes off across the lawn back into the forest.

"What a strange cat". I say as I lay back on the couch and catch some needed shut eye while I wait for Twilight to come back and help me.
