The Lair of the Beast (part 2)

Home, sweet home...

Fluttershy's POV

"Welcome to The Rotten Vale!" He exclaimed and all of the moving corpse cheered, well roared.

Then we heard what sounded like a squeek from behind us, we all looked back and saw the humongous green beast named 'Jho' standing behind us, it was holding something in his mouth, he deposited it in front of Jhon, who looked amused.

It was a pony, a blue pony but we couldn't see much with all the saliva on her, then when we saw who it was, our eyes widen. It was Princess Luna, her light blue coat, her sky blue mane and tail. It was definitly her, before we could say anything we heard the beast say.

"Master, this little pony was spotted inside the patrol radius, she seemed to be spying on us, I apprehended her and brought her here, what should we do?" He said, it suprised us, Princess Luna was spying on us?

"Nothing for now, I will talk to her, return patrolling." Jhon said and Jho did as ordered, after Jho left, Jhon went to the unconscious, saliva covered Luna, we followed him to look at what he is doing, Jhon now in front of Princess Luna, seemed to be pointing at her, then she woke up brutally, panting and looking shocked.

"Hello there little Princess." Jhon said, and Princess Luna glared at him.

"Silence monster! I shan't fall for your words!" Luna exclaimed while charging her horn, then she shotted a beam at him, but he didn't move.

He got hit, but we couldn't see him as a fog of ashes rose, we all got worried and I rushed to search him and see if he was ok. I found him laying on the ground with a big scar on his face, he didn't have his eyes glow, he looked dead, well more than he already was. I started to cry, he was kind and alltought he looked scary, he isn't when you know him, he didn't even get to know Ponyville. I cried in my hooves and everypony tried to confort me while having little tears, Celestia looked furious and turned to Luna, who looked satisfied but then confused when she saw her sister's anger in her eyes.

But before Celestia could beat her, we heard a whistle, like something breathing in a huge amount of air, everypony looked around to find the source of this sound, but then I realised, I looked at Jhon's corpse, I saw it's chest rising, he's eyes started to glow again and the miasma was swirling around him again, I was so happy I started to go to him to hug him, I didn't care if I would have his flesh stick on me, I was just happy he didn't die, but then I stopped when I looked at him closer, his eyes weren't glowing in the conforting and wise blue. It was glowing yellow, not a sunshine yellow, a burning yellow.

He stood up on his back still breathing in air, this got everypony's attention, when they looked at him they backed up in fear, after a while, his scar healed and he seemed full of energy, he came back down on his four legs then looked at all of us, then Luna. He roared, rising on his two back legs and spreading his massive wings, it shook the ground, made the cave shake and some of the roof fall, after he finished, he went down and seem to crounch, but then we saw a huge amount of miasma leaking out of him, it smelled like death, we choked but then it stopped, it wasn't choking us anymore, it was choking Luna who was still coughting, after a moment she cought out blood but Jhon, no, this isn't Jhon anymore, this MONSTER was just looking at her in a satisfied look, but then he grapped his head, he growled and roared in pain before falling unconscious, with Luna too.

We all rushed to them, Celestia seemed worried sick for Luna and Jhon was just here, laying down with his yellow eyes fading away too make place to the slowly glowing blue eyes. Then he stood up brutally while making the same breathing in action, this time we all backed away with Luna, fearful to see his rampage, but then he talked.

"I-I-I-I'm sorry..." He said shaking when he noticed Luna, he started to cry, but he cried blood then turned around to run in his cave. We followed him with Luna being carried by Celestia.

"W-w-what happened? This wasn't supposed to happen! Why did I had the reaction of a normal Vaal Hazak? Why does it happens to me? It was all going smoothly until now!" He said while shaking in a blue water. We approached slowly, then I touched the blue liquid, wich was definitly not water, as it hurted me so much I screamed. Jhon heard it and turned to look at me.

"Fluttershy!" He rushed over me then pointed a claw at my burned hoof, there was miasma surrounding it, then I felt pain but it was not painful, I looked at my hoof who was completly healed with miasma sticking on it.

"Flutershy! What happened?! And You! What happened to You?!" Celestia exclaimed, while looking furiously at him, he was shaking then said.

"This liquid is acid, it is what you would say my everyday bath." He said while pointing at a little lake full of this acid, our eyes widen.

"Acid?! You are bathing on acid?!" Celestia exclaimed still looking furious. Jhon was now fully recomposed

"Yes, and what happened to me well... It seems like old instincs are surfacing..." He muttered, Celestia looked confused.

"Old instincs? What do you mean?" Celestia questionned.

"What I mean is that, I wasn't always sentient, I was like every beast in this forest, but I became sentient at one point, making my eyes blue. What you saw was me, before I gained sentience, and it seems like when I suffer a certain number of damage, I would come back as my old self." He said, it seems like he made up this story, but it holds up and explained what happened.

"Uurghh... What happened?" Luna said waking up, Celestia immediatly hugged her, who hugged backed confused by her crying sister. Then after they finished, Luna looked shocked by Jhon.

"How?! I used a mortal spell that could kill an Ursa Major!" Luna exclaimed trying to charge her horn again, wich was stopped by Celestia who scolded at her and explained what happened.

"What? I made him turn himself into his inner beast?" Luna said regretfully, knowing the pain and guilt of falling to darkness.

"Do not worry Luna, I forgive you, and besides, I would've been suprised to see you be like 'Welcome zombie monster to Equestria' while smiling like your sister always does." I said while pointing at Celestia, who blushed a little, this made Luna's gloomy expression to brighten and start to giggle.

"What? I do not smile at anything while welcoming it in my kingdom!" Celestia exclaimed at Jhon who looked amused.

"You just did it like this morning to me" he replied, this made everypony giggle and Luna laugh while Celestia blushed more.

"Hmm, I don't want to cut this short but aren't you two like royalty? Don't you have duties you lazy mares?" Jhon questionned with a scowl, this stopped both of them, who looked at each other then at me with a sheepish smile.

"Weelll, your right, we should go reassure the ponies who are maybe pannicking right now." Luna said, wich got a nod from Celestia.

"Yes, and I'm pretty sure it should be evening soon so let's go." He said while escorting the us out of the cave.

After getting out, we said our goodbyes and went to my cottage.

"Well it was certainly interesting looking at his natural habitat." Twilight said.

"Yeah! It wasn't even scary when he went beast mode" RD said, denying the fact that she was hiding behind me when 'it' happened.

"Yea yea, but he's pretty strong to pu' up with Princess Luna" AJ said.

"Oh but he is simply a gentlecolt, even thought he isn't very good looking he is gentle." Rarity said then started imaginning what would look good on Jhon.

"But I didn't get to throw him a party" Pinkie said while deflating, then she reflated just when Twilight said she could do it next time we see him.

"That's right!" Pinkie said while pulling out a bottle with miasma in it. She opened it then said.

"Hey! Can you ask to Jhony when we can see him again? I want to throw him a party!" Pinkie said, the miasma then flew out to the Everfree Forest.

"P-Pinkie, how did you do that?" I said timidly.

"Oh I asked Jhony and he said I could have this bottle with Mia in it to call him!" She said while pointing at the nownempty bottle.

"W-who's Mia?" I said.

"Oh silly! That's just the miasma I sent to ask Jhonny when we could see him again!" She responded, it confused all of us but we just went with 'Pinkie being Pinkie'.

"Well, it was certainly a long day, we should probably go sleep, see ya girls!" Twilight said whilr going out.

"Goodnight Fluttershy" they all said then went away.

I am so tired from this, so I took a shower, then I noticed that the miasma in my previously burned hoof went away.

Then I went to my bed to sleep. I hope he is ok.
