The Witcher 3 -DLC: The Witcher of Equestria
Chapter 19: Rest stop
Previous Chapter"Where would you like to go, master?" Roach asked.
"...Twilight's castle." Geralt replied "Need to think."
"And where's that?" Keira asked.
"...Give me a moment." He pulled out a piece of papers, a quill with ink, and drew a map. He gave the paper to Keira. "Follow the map. I need to rest for a bit."
"I thought Witchers don't need sleep?"
"I don't, but that doesn't mean I can get tired." He sighed. "Just... go." Roach moved forward. As Geralt said, he didn't need sleep, but there were occasions in which he did sleep, though they're far and few in between. He closed his eyes and slept. It had been a long day for him.
Geralt found himself in a fight with the Wild Hunt, all three were present, and Gaeralt was being tossed around. Caranthir stabbed Geralt's pony right shoulder, making him scream in pain as Caranthir's magic held Geralt by his horn. Eredin walked to the injured Geralt, holding the changed Ciri's mane in his left hand, and holding his sword in his right.
"CIRI!!!" Geralt yelled.
"Such a shame you had to leave us, Geralt." Eredein spoke "You were the best one of us." He lifted his sword. "But the Wild Hunt always wins!" He swung and Geralt's vision went dark.
"CIRI!!!" A different, sinister laugh was only heard.
Geralt gasped as he woke up. He was now in a room that was surrounded by and made up of crystals, and he was laid on a soft bed. His equipment hung next to him, leaving him 'naked' again.
Why do they always take my clothes off? He thought to himself. The door opened and Twilight came in.
"Geralt!?" She asked "What's wrong? Something happen?"
"... Just a bad dream." Geralt replied, getting off of the bed. "Nothing I can't handle."
"Oh, that's good. I was surprised to meet your friends. I never knew you were friends with a Diamond Dog."
"He wasn't one before. Where are they?"
"They're around town, exploring. Your friend, Roach, however, is outside. We're making sure no stallion goes near her, what with her... questionable actions." Geralt groaned.
"...Fucking Roach." He put his equipment back on. "Thank you for the hospitality, Twilight, but I must get back before something happens that I'm going to regret."
"Wait! I wanna go too."
"Twilight, what did I just-?"
"Not on your adventure, but to help you find your friends. You have a greater sense of your friends, and I know more about this town. You're going to need my help." Geralt stared for a bit, but sighed in defeat.
"Fine. We better make this quick."
Twilight and Geralt exited the castle, seeing Roch stand near the castle's steps.
"So glad to see you're awake, master!" Roach spoke I was beginning to worry about you as soon as you snored! I thought you were poisoned!!!"
"...From sleeping?" Geralt asked "Yeah right. Come on, we better find our friends."
"Oh, and Master? About my thing? Are you-?"
"NO!!!"
"What is she asking about?" Twilight asked
"You don't want to know."
"I want foals!" Roach whined "Foals from a handsome stallion! But none one has a pe-"
"Enough! Where did Keira and Zoltan go?"
"Oh, our friends? Keira actually went with Fluttershy and as for Zoltan... that, I'm not quite sure."
"...At least you got one thing done right. Stay here."
"Yes, sir!" Roach then sat on her rump and whistled a tune. "Look! I can whistle like you!" Geralt rolled his eyes and turned to Twilight.
"Know where Fluttershy's at?"
"She's usually in her cottage," Twilight answered "but I'm quite surprised she's allowing Keira to join her."
"Hopefully, they're not doing anything dangerous."
Twilight and Geralt approached to Fluttershy's cottage. Geralt was quite surprised by how much flora grew around, and the amount of animals that were around, most would've hunted each other easily, but were living in harmony. Twilight knocked on Fluttershy's door, though Geralt was shooing the various critters approaching him.
"Oh! I'll get the door." Fluttershy's voice spoke, albeit, muffled. The door opened and the pegasus answered "Oh, hello, Twilight. I see you brought Geralt with you."
"I did," Twilight answer "He's just concerned with his friend, Keira."
"Aw, how sweet. Don't worry Geralt, your friend and I are-" She paused and started to giggle. Twilight turned and both witness Geralt was covered with squirrels and Birds all over him, only his face showing with clear irritation.They both fell to their backs and laughed.
"I now hate small animals." Geralt growled. Keira came out of the door, but stopped. She too giggled, but had better control.
"Here, let me help you with that." She spoke. She pulled out some food and tossed it to an openeing. All the animals flew or scurried away from Geralt.
"Thanks. What have you been doing?"
"Me? Why, Geralt, when I was with Treehugger, she told me that she was friends with Fluttershy, and she happen to live in this town called "Ponyville". Immediately, we were friends, and I was able to learn some more plants with their more strange... attributes."
"Besides Poison Joke and how it makes me talk in reverse."
"Precisely. Plus, I won't lie, some of the animals here are a lot more adorable than those back home!"
"And annoying."
"Don't be so angry, Geralt. You're practically an animal, like them."
"I'm a God damn unicorn, Keira, and if you exclude the Witcher part of me, everyone around thinks I'm part Thestral; a bat-horse mix."
"Oh, you're part Thestral?" Fluttershy asked, her and Twilight regaining their posture. "I guess that's why I wasn't so... comfortable around you. Um, not saying I distrusted you, but we don't have many Thestrals around here... and you're new... but we don't discriminate at all. And... uh... With Luna gone, your kind-" Twilight placed a hoof in her friend's mouth.
"Thank you, Fluttershy," Twilight said "but I think Geralt gets the point." Fluttershy lowered Twilight's hoof.
"Oh... alright. It was nice meeting Keira. Hopefully, we can all get together for some tea; I'm sure Discord won't mind the extra company." Geralt's eyes widened.
"Discord!?" Geralt said in shock, followed by a growl.
"Oh, you two meet? Oh, please, Discord is... pretty new to friendship. Please don't be mad with him, he's just trying to have fun!"
"Sure he is. I'll be his best friend as soon as I-" Geralt's mouth disappeared in a flash. He muffled everything.
"Tsk, Tsk, Quite the temper, Geralt." Discord's voice spoke. "Maybe you need some of Treehugger's auditory therapy? Be bathed in positive vibes? Sonic Bliss?" The next thing that happened was loud screeching was heard all around, making Geralt and everyone else fall to the floor. As much as he wanted to kill Discord, Geralt ran away and headed to town, followed by Keira.
When they made it to town, the loud screeching stopped, and both Witcher and sorceress were able to listen & look up. The town was busting with it's usual energy and near peacefulness... near peacefulness. They heard furniture breaking inside of one of the buildings, followed by a stallion being thrown out of the window. Both looked inside the building to see Zoltan in what was essentially a barfight against some other stallions.
"Were you searching for Zoltan?" Keira asked
"Yeah." Geralt answered "And we just found him."
