Just wanted to help

Geralt thought to himself quickly on this; He knew that with some money, he may be able to afford a place to sleep in, but he didn't know anything about this town or it's land for that matter. His greed told him to take the money, but Geralt took a deep breath and spoke.

"Sorry, I'm not here for the money." Applejack froze and stared.

"Pardon me?"

"I don't want your money. I heard your little sister scream and had to help. No pay is needed, though I do need information on this land."

"...Well... Ah guess Ah could help ya'll out. It's getting late, but Ah'll tell ya'll about Equestria in the mornin'."

"Equestria?"

"This land y'er in. Like Ah said, it's gettin' late, and... as a way to say thanks, ya'll can stay in the barn for the night. Use some of the hay to make a fire, but don't go crazy with it. Got it?"

"Thanks. Come on, Roach."

"Yes, sir." Roach replied, walking to the barn.

"... Is it alright if you can walk, Ger?" Applejack asked "Ah'm not saying it, but though you have them scars, ya'll don't look hurt."

"Like I said," Geralt replied "I'm new here."

Inside the barn, Geralt made himself a small campfire using some of the hay provided, but used rocks to form a circle barrier before casting an Igni. His magic, from what he felt, was natural as when he was a human, but it felt a lot more powerful as well. Roach was able to sleep, and Geralt, sat down on his flank, closed his eyes, slowed his breathing, and began to meditate. To most people, they think that he has a weird way of sleeping, but Witchers didn't need sleep, but meditation was needed to help pass the time, as well as care for wounds and craft potions, oils, and bombs. Geralt felt a tingle around his new horn and a strange sound coming from it. Geralt opened his right eye, seeing that he had some ingredients with him and that he was brewing another potion, much as he did back home.

Hm... this body must be more in touch with magic. Geralt observed.

"~Indeed, it is~." An echoing, woman's' voice replied. Geralt opened both of his eyes and looked around.

"Who's there!?" He growled, unsheathing his steel sword and standing on his hind legs.

"~Relax, I am no threat to you.~"

"If you're not a threat, then show yourself."

"Of course, Geralt of Rivia." A quick, blue flash appeared right behind him. Geralt turned, but froze at what he could explain was what Yennefer would look like if she had came with him. True, what stood in front of him was one of the weird-horse creatures, who stood a half-foot taller than him (much to Geralt's disliking), but she had a dark blue coat all over her body, had a horn (though longer) like Geralt, and had wings, meaning that this thing specialized in magic and flight. She wore a black tiara & necklace with a cresent moon and silver shoes over her hooves, but also a mark on both of her flanks that was on black blotches of the moon on her necklace. The real taker for Geralt, however, was her mane & tail: They were a lighter shade of blue from her coat, which looked liked it had small stars in them, but they both moved on their own, despite no wind blowing at or around them. He couldn't help it, but Geralt had to admit, she was the most beautiful thing, probably more than Yennefer... though he won't say it.

"Who... are you?"

"Allow me to introduce myself; I am Princess Luna."

"Princess Luna? Who's your mother?"

"...Mother?"

"The queen of this land?"

"Oh... our mother left us long ago, but that's not why I'm here."

"Why are you here then?"

"We have summoned you, Geralt, for our time of need."

"Wait! You summoned me?"

"Indeed, I had."

"If you needed me, then why didn't you send me a message? Or at least, speak through the portal? Hell, why'd Roach have to come along?"

"I apologize, Geralt, but summoning portals to other worlds took a lot of focus & energy out of me. Talking to you would take even more energy, and we need you in our time of need."

"...What do you want me to do? What's the pay?"

"My sister, Princess Celestia, and I need you to head to the mountains to Yakyakistan-"

"Yakyakistan? What is this place?"

"May I continue?" Her voice sounded authoritative.

"Sure."

"Thank you. There, you must find out what's going on with Prince Rutherford and why his kind, the yaks, haven't stopped and told us why the winter is coming."

"...Are you sure that you forgot what season it's-"

"It is the Summer time, Geralt, and we know snow is normal on mountains, but the snow is spreading to us right as we speak. Geralt, my sister has asked me to find someone who can do this professionally, and you were the only one who can do this."

"... Alright, I'm flattered. But what's my pay?"

"Your pay will be gold from our treasury, at least enough to start your own kingdom." Geralt whistled at it.

"That's a lot of money. But what else? I sense you're hiding something."

"...Very well. I will use my abilities to help you find Ciri, your adopted daughter."

"What the-!? How do you-?"

"Oh please, Yennefer has told me many times on how you treat her like your daughter."

"Yennefer!? What the hell are you-!?" Luna disappeared in a puff of smoke as, coming out of it, was another one of the horse-creatures. This one was pink with a darker, poofy mane, blue eyes, and a smile so wide, it would probably make a Nekker jealous.  

"HI!!!" She spoke in a very light hearted, rapid voice. Geralt only blinked in pure confusion.

Was our conversation really that long? He thought to himself Or did the sun just move?

"Uh... Hi." He replied.

"Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie! What's your name?"

"...Geralt of Rivia." Pinkie gasped

"Ooh! Fancy! Where you from? Canterlot? Trottingham? I've never seen you before! You friends with A.J.? Any friend of A.J. is a friend of mine! In fact, any friend of my friends is a friend of mine, but you're here, and you're new! What's with those swords? Are you part of the Canterlot Army? How'd you get those scars? Are they for show? What's-" Geralt stared as Pinkie went fast with her questions. She was annoying... but he had to be patient.

It's alright, Geralt. Soon, she's going to stop.  

2 Hours later.

PLEASE!!! SHUT UP!!!

Geralt twitched all over, most around his left eye, as Pinkie kept asking for two straight hours!!!

"I wouldn't think it's been two hours, though." She continued "It feels like a few minutes to me, and I still don't know anything about you except your name, you're a unicorn, a stallion, a very attractive looking one, might I add, and-"

"I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!" Geralt yelled, standing to his legs. He screamed & ran, but fell onto his face. Though his screams were muffled, his hind legs moved in the dirt, kicking all of it away as he slowly, but steadily, gained speed as he ran away from the creature that was worst than if all of the creatures he battled combined into one. Soon, he moved forelegs and began to gallop away from Pinkie.

"Well that was rude."

"Master!?" Roach asked in shock, looking around for Geralt.

"Ooh! Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie! What's your name? Are you wearing a Sandal? Is Geralt your-"

Geralt ran into Ponyville's market, slowing down to catch his breath. He looked down at his hooves and realized what he just did.

"I... walked." He spoke to himself. "Huh... Guess I got the hang of this." He took a step and fell down onto his face. "...ow." Guess not.

"Oh my gosh!" The sound of a woman's voice spoke "Are you alright!?" Geralt stood back up on his legs, seeing what was the same subspecies as Luna, but was purple, had a lavender mane with a pink stripe that didn't move, a smaller horn, and, for a lack of better words, was naked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. First time walking in-" He stopped as the horse-creature stared at him. He let out an annoyed sigh. "Is it the eyes?"

"...Yes."

"And the scars?"

"Yes."

"Ugh, guess you want to know a bit about me?"

"I would. My name's Twilight Sparkle." she extended her right hoof out. Geralt lifted his left hoof, finding it hard balance on three legs than two. He was ready to accept Twilight's hoof when something was heard, falling to them.

"LOOK OUT BELOW!!!" A raspy sounding, woman's voice yelled. Geralt looked up, only to be collided with something of cyan and rainbow. He opened his eyes to be meet with, yet, another one of the horse-creatures, this one with wings and a mane & tail that looked liked that of a rainbow.

"Whoah!" she spoke with the same raspy voice "Where'd you get those scars? And your eyes? Was one of your parents a bat-pony?" Before Geralt could answer, another voice interrupted, this one sounding of high class as a blue aura surrounded him and the winged mare.

"Oh please, Rainbow Dash. As much as you'd love to know his scars, as tough & handsome he may be, I'm obsessed on where he got that armor. It's nothing like what I've seen from Canterlot. Oh please, sir, you have to tell me where you got this armor." Geralt saw that the other horse creature has a white coat, had a more curly mane & tail, with a horn sticking out of her forehead. Geralt backed up as she began to walk to him, looking like she was in love with him.

"I can," he replied "but please, I really need some-" He bumped into something that let out a small squeak. Geralt turned around to see a butter-yellow mare with wings and a long, pink mane & tail, who also turned to him. She cowered at his sight with a low whimper.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, mister, I should've seen where I was going. Come along little duckies." Following her was a trail of ducks, all quacking and following her.

"Fluttershy!" The rainbow one spoke again "You have to be more careful around ponies!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, Rainbow Dash. These poor little duckies were outside Rarity's home and they needed a way to the pond."

"So that was the sound this morning?" The white mare asked.

"What's all the commotion about!?" Applejack's voice spoke through the crowd. She stepped forward, but stopped at Geralt. "Ah! Mornin' Geralt, had a good sleep last night?"

"I don't sleep." Geralt replied bluntly

"So is that why you're a cranky pants!?" the all too familiar voice of Pinkie asked. Geralt froze with fear and looked around, seeing nothing. He heard one of his swords unsheathe and looked up; right on his back was the pink demon herself, holding one of his swords, playing with it like a toy. "Vwoom! Vwoom! Luke, I am your father! NOOO!!!" Geralt screamed again, standing on his hind legs, making Pinkie fall, and ran away!

"GET HER AWAY FROM ME!!!" Pinkie stood right up as the rest looked with confusion.

"Aw, I thought he saw that movie... what if he hasn't!!! Wait! I'll pay for a ticket for you!!!" she ran ahead, leaving a pink cloud that was in the shape of her body.

"... Ah never suspected him to be afraid of Pinkie." Applejack commented.

Geralt ran as fast as his hooves could carry him, but he heard a spring sound to his right. Looking at his right, he gasped as he saw Pinkie, hopping & chasing him easily.

"Is this a race?" she asked "I love races! Especially with Dashie!"

"Leave me alone!" Geralt yelled back, running faster. Again, Pinkie hoped faster, easily catching up to him.

"You may want to look ahead."

"No! Not for you!"

"Seriously! You should look ahead and-"

"Never! I'm not listening to you, you pink-" He slammed into the side of a boulder. He froze, but fell down like a plank, unconscious.

"...Told you."

Geralt slowly opened his eyes; his vision was blurred, but he saw light as well as some figures around him.

"Are you alright, Geralt?" one of the voices asked.

"... Please, let this be a whorehouse." He muttered to himself.

"Uh... the hay is that?" another asked. Geralt regained his vision, seeing the six horse-creatures surrounding him. Pinkie's leaned until her muzzle on Geralt's. It's a statement that Witchers have suppressed emotions and only in really heavy scenarios is when they really do show emotion. In Geralt's case, he began to sweat hard, shiver, and his teeth chattered

"G-get a-a-away from m-me!"

"Aw, what's wrong, Gary?" she asked, oblivious to his fear "You look like you've seen a ghost."

"Pinkie!" Twilight exclaimed, her horn glowing and lifting her off. "Can't you see Geralt is frightened of you?"

"Indeed," Rarity added "you're invading his personal space."

"Oops! Sorry!" Pinkie quickly apologized. Geralt stood up, shaking himself back to his natural, nearly emotionless state, though shook at the sight of Pinkie.

"Who, and what, is he?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"... I'm Geralt of Rivia, and I am a witcher."

"... A what?" Fluttershy asked

"I don't have time, but your world is in danger, and it seems that only I can help." He turned around, walked, though not great, and whistled for Roach. Roach seemed to came out of nowhere, but stood, waiting for Geralt's orders.

"Wait!" Twilight exclaimed, landing in front of Geralt as he tried to mount Roach "What do you mean that our world is in danger? Who told you?"

"Something's going on in a place called Yakyakistan, and who told me this was the one brought me into this world." Twilight gasped

"You're... from another world?"

"... As I told the others, I'm new here."

"But... you need all the help you can get."

"I don't need any help." Twilight leaned her face near Geralt's, both of their muzzle touching each other.

"Yes! You do! We'll help you get acquainted to our world, and then, you tell us what a Witcher is."  

Honor both.

Honor the first then leave.
