Tonight ( Edited )

How odd, why is tonight's night unending?

It's been three weeks since I was 'born', everyday after I took a pack of manticores under my protection, were uneventful besides the passing timberwolves and hungry manticores, now I have over thirty manticores under me and the newborns were brought to me and the parents seemed to want me to touch the newborn, I do not know why they do that but they seem to do it as a tradition now. But two days ago was glorious!.

Two days ago

I was met with a rampaging hydra, it roared at me when it saw me and the cowering manticores, as I have a 'family' to protect, I battled it, it ripped through my wings and two of my legs, but I didn't care as I gained the ability to regenerate my body from the DNA I took from one of the heads I ripped from the hydra, it took a moment before I realised that cutting its head was pointless, so I went for the body, and it was extremely effective as it took me only one slash of my bloody arms's claws to kill it.

After this, the manticores proceeded to bring it's body in the cave, I didn't know why, but I saw them devouring its heads, I was confused by this but then, I saw the heads were regenerating back and then it hit me, the regenerative abilities of the hydra work even after it's death, so that would mean we have an unlimited source of food, it was brilliant.

Present Time

I woke up in my cave full of manticores, the young were sleeping on me or besides me, I seem to be like a father to them even if their true fathers were sleeping with their mothers in some corners of the cave.

It's been a while since it's been like this, some manticores left after passing adulthood but they would eventually return after bringing food, it was often the reptile chickens as they were the easiest prey to hunt, sometimes it was ponies, the first pony they brought back dead confused me, it wore clothes and was multicolored, looking at the pony it had wings and seems to have something on its flank, I didn't know how they brought ponies as there were none in the forest so I went searching, and I eventually found some, the ponies I saw were walking on two legs with hooves, always together and in a group of three, they were little so I guessed they were children, or for them foals, but then, I heard them speak.

"Are ya sure it's safe?" The red maned one a pink bow on its head, yellow coated filly wearing a t-shirt and jeans said with fear in her voice.

"Yeah! It's so cool, we've been coming here for a while and we haven't gotten in danger once!" A purple maned, orange coated filly with black tagged t-shirt and shorts said full of pride.

"What about that time we were chased by the Timberwolves huh?" A pink and light purple maned and white coated filly with a blue skirt and white t-shirt replied with doubt.

They kept arguing about 'if they should go back to Ponyville or not'. Ponyville... A name... Sentient beings use names as identification for pretty much everything, if there are sentient beings then there's civilisation, if there is civilisation there is war... Why do I think there is war in civilisation?

There's no time to think about it, the fillies I soon learn were Applebloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle are going away as the night is coming, I need to follow them.

Soon after, I was at the border of the forest, I never found out about it, even though I've known this forest like my cave, I never found the forest exit so I just assumed the forest was endless, but now I can see the end, it was exciting, the fillies went out of the forest so then I followed, but then I stopped when I could see the outside, it was beautiful, the village that was near the forest was peaceful, I could see a mountain with a palace on it. The outside world in my reach, but...

If the ponies are the dominating species, what would they do to me? Civilisation happens because of research, as I am a unique kind of being, I am sure to be examined by them, but, at the same time, I can't help but feel safe, no, I need to return with my family, I have to protect them, besides, it's getting late and the pack need me to sleep.

So I returned to my cave to sleep, on the way I could see the wooden wolves and the reptile chickens running away from me, I guess I became the apex predator in the forest.

I arrived in my cave and saw the manticores started to run to me and all started to lick or hug me, after a while of this show of affection, I went over the big pile of fur in the middle of the cave, they all made it for me so who am I to refuse the luxury, it even had ornaments on it, truly looking like a throne, so I got on it and started to shape it, but before I go to sleep, I opened many eyes over my body to make sure there were no intruders and that the manticores weren't injured, after I was sure it was safe and they were all in good shape, I began to sleep.

I woke up the next morning in my cave, I looked at the manticores and they were all still sleeping, but then when I look at the entrance of the cave, it was not sunlight I met, it was moonlight, I was confused, sure I woke up earlier than every other manticore here but it was always sunrise, but now it was a full moon high in the sky, then I heard the manticores starting to wake, I motionned them to stay here while I go see what's going on, they all nodded and I began to march in the forest.

After a while I noticed some ponies walking in the forest, there were six of them, they all had different clothes. There was a rainbow maned and blue coated pegasus with a sport t-shirt and shorts that were white, a purple one with blue striped mane and tail with what seems like what a librarian would wear, glasses and a dull shirt with jeans, a yellow maned and orange coated pony with a hat and farm clothes, a blue maned and wihite coat with quite luxuriously clothed pony, a poofy pink maned and coat with candy like clothes and a shy pink maned and butter yellow coated mare with a normal green shirt and skirt.

Then I saw a manticores that was one of mine, it seems to be sleeping but then I saw a blue cloud go to it and pierce through its paw like a stinger, it went on a rampage but before I could go help him the ponies arrived, although because the manticore was enraged it attacked them, they kept up against him until, surprisingly, the shy one stepped up and made the ponies stop, after they stopped she went to him, he started to hit her but then he stopped and showed the thorn in his paw, the pony was shocked and proceeded to get the thorn out, after that she was being licked in affection by the manticore, then the ponies continued deeper into the forest.

I went to the manticore and motioned him to return to the cave, he nodded and returned, I then followed the ponies.

There were multiple obstacles to wherever they want to go, all made by the blue cloud, I noticed it going to a Castle after they went over the obstacle, I followed it unnoticed and found it transform into a pony, it was a bigger pony with both horn and wings, it was not as tall as me but it was certainly as tall as a normal manticore, then she spoke.

"Show yourself! I can sense you!" She exclaimed, I guess she was talking about me, but I didn't come out.

"Nevermind, I will deal with you later, after I end these foolish ponies that stand against me." She said while transforming into a cloud again and going to the other mares, I followed it and then I noticed just one pony doing something with five stones, but the cloud interrupted and took the stones, the pony leapt after her then they disappeared, I look through my eyes for where they could be and then I noticed something happening in a distant tower of the ruined castle.

When I arrived I saw the pony charging to the bigger pony with a glowing horn, I analysed the glow from afar with one of my eyes and saw that the molecules that made it was similar to one of the reptile like chickens used to make things turn to stone, but it's structure was totally different but the molecules themselves were similar, then I noticed the same structure around the stones behind the bigger pony, it was unstable but could somehow hold together, when I look back at the pony I noticed that some of her body's molecule started to form in the area where the unstable molecules were, then for a moment I saw her entire body molecules disintegrate and reconstruct where the stones are, it was marvelous, it was like teleportation! Genius! By making an area's molecules unstable, you can make yours replace the unstable ones just the moment they start to disintegrate from the instability! Ingenious!

But then, when she got to the stones, the pegacorn pony turned into a cloud and went to the purple unicorn, who was trying to do something to the stones, I don't know what she was trying to do just by making photons around the stones, after a moment the pegacorn broke the stones to pieces and the unicorn was shocked, then the other ponies came through the entrance to the room, after this, the unicorn started to say that her friends were the 'Element of Harmony' whatever that is, then, I noticed an area in mid air had unstable molecules, then a stone similar to the others appeared, the pieces of the stones started to circle around the ponies, and became after that necklaces.

I analysed the massive amount of light coming out of the ponies and then I was shocked, it was antimatter, but it was stabilized antimatter, controlled antimatter, antimatter that doesn't destroy everything upon contact, it was like seeing... Harmony between everything, Harmony between matter and antimatter, a mutual help between molecules and antimolecules. True Harmony

This anomaly of the Laws of Everything launched to the pegacorn, no, Alicorn, it seems fitting. The Alicorn was surrounded by True Harmony and disappeared.

Then the sun rose and another Alicorn came out from the SUN, the SUN, this was too much, first I found a genius way to teleport, then I witness True Harmony, and then I see a PONY come OUT of the SUN?!?

It was too much for me, too much for my conception of everything, so I left to go to the cave to rest from this suprising chain of events.

But he was noticed by a pony, while they were all happy to see Princess Luna's return, a pony noticed him, at least a glimpse of him.

'What was that? It looked like an injured manticore... Maybe it's just my imagination.' Fluttershy thought, how wrong she was, the manticore was very injured, mentally injured from this chain of events.
