Life is strange, I was once the most notorious criminal in the Lylat System and now I the most respected wolf in the Crystal Empire, this is my story about my highest moment to my downfall. My name is Wolf O’Donnel and this my story.

My story starts in Corneria city, I was running from the cops. Why? I have no idea why I was just walking normally through the city then suddenly a cop car appeared and told me to lay down on the ground there was no way that I was going to do that so I started to run, I ran down the street whit the cop car behind me. I was going to run across the road to the other side but I did not get very long, because suddenly there came a car and I could not react in time and the car hit me.

Now you a wondring how I can tell this story if I'm dead, here is where the strange part start's I did not die I woke up in the snow. The first thing I did was to open my good eye and one thing was sure I was lying on my stomach, I managed to get myself up into a sitting position and to look around. The only thing I could see was snow and some trees.

"Where the hell am I?"

I did not know where I was or how I got here, the last thing I remember was that a car hit me. I managed to get on my feet and I started walking, I did not no where I was walking but I had to find civilization, I hope. I put my hands in the pocket of my jacket and in the right pocket, I felt something. It was my Ipod, thank goodness it survived I took out the earpiece and put them in my ears and put on a Song.

I walk for five minutes before I saw any sign of life but there was something strange about the building I saw they were made of crystal, it was a huge castle which was also made ​​of crystal. It took me about ten minnutes to get to the city and when I arrived I was surprise, what I saw was ponyer and they looked like they were made was crystal.

"What the fuck."

I could not believe what I saw ponies that were made of crystal, some of them had winges on their backs and horns on their heads, I could think of this a another time for right now I was more curious about this place so I went further into town.

One thing was for sure I made ​​a little fuss, because there were many who stopped doing what they were doing to look at me and I did not like it. Should think they had not seen a wolf before, well maybe not one that walk on two legs and was wearing clothes. 'I need a smoke.' I took out my cigarette pack and noticed that I had only eight cigarettes left . 'Fuck' I tok one out from the pack and took out my lighter and lit it. I took a very long drag from it and I blowd the smoke out of my nose.

I need that. I continue further into the town while ignoring the glances I got.

One thing was for sure this town was bigger than I first I thought because I had managed to get lost, I did not know where I was then I saw something that got my attention. It was a heart made ​​of crystal but there was something about this heart I could not understand, it was like a kind of aura that came from it. I would have liked to study it better but there were some ponies that guarded it and they are watching me.

If they are trying to intimidate me, they must do a better job than that because there is not much that scares me. But it's best not to make a fuss so I walk away.

I do not know how I did it but I found a park, so I found a bench so I could do some thinking. It was on question that popped up and it was: how I ended up here. When one dies, then one should either end up in heaven or in my case hell. I got no further than that for all of a sudden I felt something on my foot, I looked down and saw that it was a soccer ball. I picked it up and looked at it, it was a completely normal football which was a bit strange becasue these pony's is not so advanced in technology.

"Excuse me Mr wolf, Can i hva my ball back?"

I looked where the voice came from and what I saw a kid, he had red fur and black hair but strangely enough he was not crystal like de others. He could not be more than seven or eight years old, he did not have wings or a horn so he must be an earth pony. One thing is certain, he is brave.

"Here you go kid." I gave it back to him, he got a big smile when I gave him the ball back.

"Thank you Mr wolf."

He ran back to the other kids, I just smiled at how happy he was. But back to how I ended up here. To be honest, I have no idea. When one dies, then you are death.

Then I saw something in the corner of my eye. Two ponies were heading toward the kid I gave the ball back to and I did not like the smiles they had, also they were older than he was. I was glad I could hear what they were saying.

"Hey Red, give me the ball." Said the first, he has yellow fur and his tail and hair are blue.

"No, it's mine." Red answered.

"It was not a request, you little punk." Replied the other, he had blue fur and yellow tail and hair they must be twins. "Now give us the ball otherwise we take it by force."

Okay, there's one thing I do not like and that's bullies. So I got up from the bench and began to walk toward them.

"Hey, why not pick on someone your on side?" They turned to me.

"Mind your own bus...." When they saw me they were shocked and scared. "What the buck are you?" It was he with blue hair who asked me first, but seriously 'buck'?

"I'm your worst nightmare if you do not leave him in alone." I replied with a cold voice and it worked because I could see the fear in his eyes, both just ran as fast as they could.

"You ok kid?" He just nodded, I could see that he was afraid of me and that was not my intention. But before I could say more, I was interrupted by another voice.

"What are you doing with my son?"

I turned to where the voice came from and what I saw was a girl or mare I think they called, and she was beautiful. She had red fur and white hair and she had the perfect body, in my eyes.

"Hey lady, I did not do anything I saved him from some bullies." She stood in front of her son.

"Yes sure, I bet you're going and eat him later. Being a wolf after all, now leave my son alone before I summon the guards."

I could not believe what I heard, she thought really that I would eat her son. If she had not been Red's mother I had punch her in the face and I think she is beautiful.

"Alright, alright I'm going." I began to move away from her and Red.

Red did not like this, he rescued him from the the bullies.

"Mom, he speaks the truth." She looked at her son.

"Listen Red, this is the fear that speaks for you."

"I'm not lying, the twins tried to take my ball again and Mr wolf stopped them."

She was not sure if she believed in her son but twin has bothered him before, she looked at Wolf.

"Excuse me Mr wolf."

I did not come very far before she spoke to me.

"My name is Wolf O'Donnell not Mr wolf and if you are going to summon the guards then give me some time to get away."

"No, I'm not going to call the guards but did you saved my son from the bullies?"

I turned around. "Yes, they were going to take his ball and I stopped them." I could see the look on her face that she had trouble believing in me. "I do not care if you believe me or not but your son is safe and it's the only thing I care about, now you'll excuse me I need to find me a place to sleep for the night." I stared to walk away.

"Wait."

Good lord, can this pony make up her mind? I stopped but I did not turn around.

"What now?"

"If you want you can sleep in our house." Ok, that's weird. I turned around again.

"Just like that?"

"Yes."

She replied with a smile, which I actually think was cute. But back to offer her. She changed my mind very quickly, perhaps she believed her son but I think she's up to something.

"Alright, but only one night." Both smiled at what I said.

"Great, follow me."

She and Red started walking and I followed them. After a while I broke the silence

"You never said your name." She look at me.

"My name is Shyla." Nice name. "And here we are." We stopped in front of one of the houses but I could see differenc them because everyone was made ​​of crystal, Red ran right into the house so I assume they live there.

"Shyla can I have a word with you."

I looked to where the voice came from and to the right stood a another mare she had white fur and red hair, are they sister? Shyla look at me.

"You can wait inside the house while I talk with my sister."

I just nodded and walked into the house. It was not so much to say about the inside of the house, tables and chairs looked what one could find in my world. What stood out most was the kitchen, it had a stove and a refrigerator which was weird considered what I've seen so far. Then I heard Shyla entered the house

"Buking sister, always meddling in what I do."

"I's everting ok?" She was obviously not prepare me to ask because she was surprised.

"That was my sister, she always think that she knows what is best for me. But enough about that I suppose you are hungry."

She hit the nail on the head because once she said that so responded my stomach for me, she began to laugh at it.

"I take that as a yes, you can wait in the living room while I cook something up."

I went into the living room and the first thing I noticed that there was no tv, "fuck." I swore as low I could. I have ended up in a world without television, that's just lovely I'm going to be crazy within a week fortunately I have my Ipod so that's a plus. Then I saw some pictures of the fireplace, it was picture of a mare which was Shyla, a kid that was Red and a stallion which looked exactly like Red which I assume is the Red's father. They look very happy, wonder where he is.

There was not much I could do so I sat down on the couch, then I heard someone coming down some stairs, I guess that's Red. He sat down beside me.

"Hey Mr Wolf." I just rold my eye of what he said.

"Listen kid, it is not Mr Wolf it's just Wolf."

"But mom says to use Mr."

"Your mother is right but I don't like it, I'm not that old."

"Ok, why do you have an eye patch on one of your eyes?"

I did not answer because it was something I did not like to talk about. "Honey, can you help me in the kitchen?" Thank goodness.

"Coming mom."

Red ran into the kitchen. I breathed a sigh of relief, I was glad I did not have to answer him. I took out my Ipod from my pocket and checked how much power I had left, just over 70 percent. I must remember to save the battery, I put the earpiece in my ears and put on one of my favorite song. I leaned my head back and began to sing.

Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder, I was going to hit who touched me but then I saw who it was.

It was Shyla. "Sorry, I did not mean to scare you."

"Take it easy, you just surprised me. Was there something you wanted?"

"The food is ready."

I stood up from the couch followed her into the kitchen, when I enter the kitchen I sat down on one of the chairs.

"I made ​​salad, can you eat that?"

"Yes I can."

I would rather have meat but I guess they have no meat, if I can't return to Corneria then I find a solution. She put the bowl on the table and I filled my plate, I had to pick out the flowers because I do not eat it. Here goes nothing, I took a bite of salad and it's good but I prefer meat. After we were done eating, I asked if I could help her with the dishes but she said she did not need help, so I let her do it.

Night came and I sat on the terrae stairs and smoked a cigar and listening to music.

"Room for one more?"

I turned my head and there stood Shyla, I moved to make room for her and she sat next to me. She was the first to say something.

"I never got to asked where you are from."

"You could say that I'm not from around here." She look at me.

"What do you mean?"

I took another drag from it and let the smoke come out of my nose. "I'm from a place called Corneria."

"Never heard of it."

"Like I said, I'm not from around here. Now you can answer my question: What's the name of this place?"

"This is the Crystal Empire."

The Crystal Empire? Seriously. "Who's the leader here?"

"His name is King Sombra and he is a very wise king." Maybe he can help me. "He is a better ruler then Princess Celestia." That got my attention.

"What do you mean?" She hesitated, I could see that she did not want to talk about it. "If you do not want to talk about it, that's ok."

"It's just a little hard to talk about it." She took a deep breath. "Princess Celestia and her sister Princess Luna are the rulers of Equestria," Equestria? A strange name. "and about a year ago Celestia wanted that the Empire to become part of Equestria but King Sombra refused. This did not Celestia liked so she invaded the Empire." What?

"Wait a moment, she invaded the Crystal Empire just because your king refused." She just nodded, I just facepalm. "That must be the stupidest thing I've ever heard."

"My husband was a guard when she invaded the castle, he did not survive the attack."

"Sorry for your loss" She smiled.

"Thanks."

Shit, now I'm glad I ended up close to the Empier because this Celestia is an bitch. Invaded someone just because do not want to become part of Equestria.

"Something tells me that she is not so clever to lead a country."

"She and her sister had only been leaders for Equstria for a month."

When I heard that I could believe what I heard, one month? Seriously, who the hell does something like that after a month? Andross was not that grazy. It's official, I think Celestia is the biggest asshole I 've heard about. Then it was quiet.

"What is that thing in your hand?"

I took another drag from it. "It's a cigar, believe me this is not something you want beginnig with it is very unhealthy"

"If it is unhealthy? Why do you do it then?"

"Because I'm an idiot."

"Oooookay. What about the thing in your ear?" I took out my Ipod and showed it to her.

"it's a Ipod, you can store music on it" She was surprised by that.

"This little thing? I can hold it in my hand my, sorry but I do not believe you."

I gave her earpieces. "Here put these in your ears." She had a little trouble getting them in her ears but she managed it in the end, I chose a song. She was surprised.

"This is incredible."

I just smiled. "It's technology."

"Techno-what?" I did not answer her because I suddenly yawned. "Tired?" I just nodded. "Come on, I'll show you where you can sleep." I stood up and threw the smoke on the ground and stamp on it, then I followed her into the house.

She led me up to the second floor.

"The guest room is the last door on the right, the bath room is the last door on the left my room is here." She walked to her room. "Red's room is next to the guest room." She entered her rom. "Good night Wolf."

"Gody night Shyla." Then she closed the door.

I walked to the guest room and opened the door and walked into the room, it was a normal room with a bed, wardrobe and a table. I took off my clothes except my underwear then I took of my eyepatch, I just lay in bed and wondered what the future had in store for me.

Author's Notes:

Hope you all enjoyed the first chapter of my new story.

You're probably wondering about Celestia, I do not hate her I just think it could have been a bit fun to write about an inexperienced Celestia. So I hope that you who like Celestia do not hate me.
