2 New digs...and power

I am aware that my righting is a bit fast paced so I need to work on that. Also my description skills aren't all that great but I hope you'll bare with me until I can get better at it.

I also wanted to say that I am pretty busy with school and will probably not be able to upload as often as other fanfics.

Thanks for the support on the first chapter. Any criticism, good or bad, is welcome.

Thanks for reading!


2 New digs...and power

Canterlot Castle

Logan's point of view

Looking directly into my eyes, Celestia spoke. "Tell me, what is your name?" No fucking around I see

Using the same manor I did with the guards, "I go by Phoenix Elvenkind"

Then, the one with the mesmerizing hair spoke, "What were you doing in the Everfree?"

I suppose you could call it training, but they really don't need to know that, "I was lost, and so I got bored and started playing around." Fuck! That was a terrible excuse!

She spoke again, "Understandable," What? "It is easy to get lost in the Everfree." she said as she bopped her head up and down. They seriously fell for that?

Celestia chimed in, "What I want to know is why you blatantly threatened an innocent woman with a hydra." She raised her tone a bit but still wasn't shouting. However the look on her face told me that wouldn't last long.

If she was going to interrogate me for something I didn't do than I was going to have fun with it. "With all due resect, no matter what I say here you've already made up your opinion on me, and its not like there's any real proof that I didn't do it. But then again, there isn't any proof that I did. So it comes down to whether you're going to believe your own citizen," raising my left hand in a cupping gesture," or some half naked guy you found running around in a forest." Doing the same with my right hand, "So what's it to be?"

They both stayed sat there with now wide eyes and shocked looks on their faces as if I had beaten them at a game of chess in a single move; which I essentially just did. Finally, the shorter one spoke up, "I have to say you handled yourself quite well there." I've been in that spot too many times to count, being a musician your practically expected to do drugs. "I suppose you do have a point. Right sister?" So they're sisters.

"Yes I suppose he does"

Speaking up, "So, what are you going to do now?" I asked in an almost challenging way, but with enough pizazz so that they knew I was joking. If its one or two people then I don't mind fucking around. But I get a bit flustered around big groups.

My statement made the, judging by the big ass picture behind her, moon princess giggle and Celestia smile a bit. The sun princess answered, "I see you have out played us, we ask you give us your address so we can keep an I on you. Wouldn't want to be to careless."

Slightly cutting in before she could continue, "Slight problem with that."

She cocked a brow, "Oh, and that being?"

"I'm not exactly, per say, from around here." Trying to think of how to put this lightly, I ended up giving up on that. "So yeah, I'm homeless."

The moment those last words left my house the two princesses gasped and looked at each other as if I had committed some kind of sin. And before I new it, with a pop and slight belly ache, we were in Ponyville. Holy shit was I not prepared for that. I knew teleportation was a thing before hand but God that felt horrible, sure hope I get used to that. Slightly curled up clenching my stomach, "Warn me next time." Ignoring the statement, we landed in a spot just outside of the Everfree borders. The two princesses walked up to a rather decent sized pot of land, raising both their hands and igniting them both in what I can only assume to be magic. After about three seconds of this a rather large house suddenly appeared in front of us. It was similar to a cottage but a bit bigger. Before I could continue assessing it, Celestia came up behind me and pushed me towards the house as her sister opened the door for me. Now inside the cottage, I had so many questions. But the main one, "What the fuck....."

Both the princesses walked in without saying a word and began placing furniture around. I just stood there waiting for them to finish so I could get an explanation.

As you walked in, the first floor was mostly open with a lounging area to my left and just to my right, were the carpet turned to marble tiles, a kitchen. With a large counter in the middle for people to sit around. The furniture and design were what you would expect In a cabin In the woods, except the kitchen. The kitchen was almost completely marble coloured. Even the top of the seating stalls were white leather.

Turning back to my left, the large brown sofas were the first thing to grab my attention. The two big ones, one to my immediate left and one only a meter away from the kitchen, could probably fit six people each. They were leather but still looked rather cosy and comfortable. Then there was another single sofa in the far left corner of the room. It was a similar design but looked like it had a lever to pull up the front of the chair as a leg rest. To the left of that and in the middle of the far lounging room wall was a nice little fireplace that really set the mood. The place had working lights which was weird because the palace was lit by torches, but I'm definitely not complaining.

The sisters were finally done and had just come back down the stairs that I didn't see them leave through. "As cool as this place is. Why the fuck am I here right now?"

They both looked rather displeased by my choice of words, but then put on a more confused face. Celestia questioned me, "What do you mean? I think It's rather obvious why you are here is it not?"

The moon princesses answered my original question. "This is your new home." That really confused me. However, it did explain why they were so shocked to find out I was homeless. Here, it's probably really rare considering it's all fun and rainbows. I mean, I'm not complaining but seeming as though they just gave me the house for free, anyone could really abuse their kindness. Unless........

"Oh, thanks. How much do I owe you." Thought I'd check just encase.

Celestia began walking towards me as she spoke, "Oh that wont be necessary, we have a different proposal." When she was only a couple feet in front of me, she put her hands on my shoulders in a very condescending manor. Instantly, I swiped both her hands away and backed up against the door I entered from.

After realizing what I had done, I spoke. "Apologies, I'm not a huge fan of being touched. Especially by people I don't know." It was true, I hated physical interaction. It just felt weird and unnecessary to me.

They both seemed a bit taken aback by what I had just said. The shorter one chimed in, "You mean to tell us you don't know who we are?" Well they are princesses, must be weird having someone that's not heard of them.

"I'm aware that you two are both princesses, but that is as far as my knowledge on you two extends." Well, and a few other things but they don't need to know that.

"Well then," the sun princess began, "some introductions are in order." She said that with a large grin and then clapped her hands together twice in a playful manner. Again, fun and rainbows. Putting her hand out to me, she began, "I am Princess Celestia of Equistria." She stood waiting for me to return the gesture she offered but I decided to wait until she figured it out. I literally said it less than a two minutes ago. Widening her eyes in realization, she put her hand back down and began looking at the floor with a small blush.

"It's a pleasure." Hearing a someone clear their throat, I turned to look at the princess of the moon.

"And I am Princess Luna," makes sense considering, a lovely name all the same, "of Equistria. However I rule under my sister, being the younger of the two.

Deciding to be a flatterer soon as no one was watching, "When you look as young as 20 age isn't of much concern." That got Celestia to blush even harder and got a cute giggle out of Luna. Before I got told off for chatting up royalty I decided to change the subject. "Sooo, about this proposal?

That instantly got Celestia to fling her head back up to look at me. Trying to be more professional, she spoke. "Ah yes, our sources have told us you are quite powerful and use strange magic......" She trailed off, "The very town your in is constantly under attack by things we like to call 'fangs'. Have you heard of them?"

Getting some 'Seraph of the end' vibes over hear. "I can't say I have."

Luna continued for her, "In short, they are creatures that appear to be human's. But in actuality, they are monsters that feed off of human flesh to gain nutrients."

"I see." This didn't sit well with me. Frociesta must have taken some ideas from the less child friendly anime as well. The two sisters looked a bit taken aback by how nonchalantly I took the news, "To be honest, I don't have much combat experience but I'll see what I can do. We have a deal?"

Both princesses sighed heavily as if a huge weight had been lifted off of them. Smiling, Luna answered, "You have a deal. You have no idea how much of a help you've been. Well......will be anyway."

"Good to hear it," I said, walking past the two and over to the kitchen. "now if you don't need me for anything else I think I'm gonna grab something to eat and scout the village to see how much land were dealing with here."

Celestia spoke up, "We appreciate you getting straight to it, and no we do not require anything else."

Turning around and pulling a peace sign, I responded. "I guess I'll see your around then."

"Indeed you will." Celestia replied, before they both left.

Quickly, Luna poked her head around the door and said, "Oh and also, you've been given the title of Baron and now own Ponyville."

Completely dumbfounded by what she just said I went to respond but was cut off. "Wait wha-"

"Toodals"

With that she was gone. Man, as much as I love a playful woman she's got to explain this shit to me. What the fuck was a Baron, and what does that have to do with me suddenly owning a whole fucking village!? Deciding to read up on it later, I prepared a sandwich from the food that was already in my house and practically inhaled it. This was the first time I had eaten since the Aurora went kablooie. I'm immortal and all but hunger's still a bitch.

Once I was done eating I contemplated on whether or not I wanted to explore upstairs or just do it when I go up to bed. Deciding to leave it as a surprise, I walked out the front door and took a deep breath. The morning air was wonderful, it was also rather sunny, today was looking to be a good day.

After a quick sprint around every nook and cranny of the village, and when I mean quick I mean 3 seconds, I decided to take a stroll around it as well just to get a good feel for the area. Walking past many shops and houses, the people didn't exactly give me the nicest looks. Then again, I was wearing what were practically rags that were so damn comfortable! I only got about a tenth though the route around the town that I was taking before I was stopped by a rather glamorous looking woman.

I suddenly heard a large gasp from around 30 meters behind me, along with a thud on the ground. I turned around to see a woman standing there, she had just come out of a shop and had dropped all of the groceries she was holding. With both her hands on her mouth, we locked eyes for a moment before she began rushing towards me. Circling me, she began muttering random insults about my clothes under her breath. "Oh what horrible, horrible attire. Who on Equis would make someone wear such a thing?" After she was done mocking me she reached out from behind me and went to grab the back of my shirt. Instantly, I was facing her with a frown as I used my blood bending to stop her hand from coming any closer. Realizing that that technique was supposed to be rather painful, I let her go but continued to frown at her. I didn't feel the need to apologies soon as she went to grab me without permission.

Looking down at her as she was about a foot shorter than me, I spoke "Believe it best to ask before randomly grabbing someone."

Looking up at me in shock and fear, she managed to stammer out, "I-I apologise s-sir"

I looked down at her eyes one last time and then began to take my leave. Was I a bit harsh? Yes. Was she wrong to try and grab me? Also yes. I only got another 10 feet before I heard another voice, "Hey! Who do you think you are mister?" I sensed her raising her hand to tap me on the shoulder. I'm not sure how I knew she was, I just knew. However, I also somehow knew that she wasn't on the ground. This confused me for a sec and then I realized that she was probably just a Pegasus. Going for the less painful route now that I know someone's going to grab me rather than just using my reflexes, I activated fox hunt and took all the power from the arm she was going to use to grab me. Now finally turning around, I saw that the woman had rainbow coloured hair and was wearing a blue tank top and black sports shorts. On her lower back sprouted two blue wings. They weren't attached to her back and weren't like normal bird wings. They were translucent and rather small. Very pretty to look at though.

She fell to the ground and her wings disappeared. She looked to the now powerless arm and grabbed it, she then lifted her head back up to me with a look of pure horror on her face. I decided to play nice and give her her arm back. When she realized this she began moving it around and wiggling her fingers about. She looked up at me once again and took two steps back. Still with the same look on her face, she spoke. "W-What d-did you do?"

I ignored her question and spoke in a cold tone, "Can I help you."

I could tell she was trying to be strong but it was failing, "W-Why'd you hurt Rarity, sh-she didn't do anything to you."

So she was sticking up for her friend. Huh, I think I instantly assumed her to be some idiot but maybe I was wrong. At least she's loyal I guess. Deciding to cool my jets, I stopped with the death glare and cold tone and spoke in a more natural tone. "Rarity being the woman behind you?"

"Y-Yeah, she was just tryna get you some new clothes."

Now a bit of it was coming back to me. This must be Rainbow Dash and Rarity. "I see, I was unaware." Turning to Rarity, I bowed slightly and spoke, " Apologies," That felt weird to say in Ban's body, "I am not a fan of being touched, I overreacted a little and I am sorry. My point still stands though, don't go around grabbing people without permission."

Both the girls looked a bit more relaxed now. "It is quite alright," Rarity began, bowing slightly, "It was wrong of me to attempt to grab you."

"No apologies needed. I'm sure most people don't have a problem with physical contact, you just so happened to come across a guy who does."

Rainbow Dash suddenly butted in. "Don't you apologies to him! He's clearly in the wrong!" Figuring that in the future I may have to deal with these two daily soon as were all protectors of Ponyville -and not to mention my subjects now- I made an effort to start off on a good note.

Turning back to Rainbow Dash, I apologised to her as well. "And apologies to you too," She looked surprised at that, "I'm on orders from the princesses so I'm rather focused. I hope you'll eventually forgive me, but I must be off." Truthfully I had all the time in the world but this was too much social interaction for one day.

Huffing a bit, rainbow head replied. "I guess I can forgive you."

Turning to Rarity she nodded, which was all the confirmation I needed. Then she spoke, "If you have the time, come to my boutique later so we can sort out those dreadful cloths of yours, it's the one with the dresses in the window, you can't miss it." After she finished I think she realized what she had said. Now looking down and blushing slightly, she apologised again. "Apologies." That got a small laugh out me.

"Don't worry about it." With that, I began to take my leave before Rainbow called out to me again.

"Hey! You never gave us your name!"

Deciding to fuck with her, I responded, "Indeed I didn't." Running around a corner before she could respond, I continued my way around the town. Up close it was rather unique and very wholesome. I decided there and then that I'd do my damndest to keep it that way. I only got through another 40% of the route before I was interrupted once again.

Suddenly, pink filled my entire vision without me sensing a thing. I readied to fight before realising that it was not a monster that popped up in front of me, it was in fact a person. Taking a few steps back I saw that it was a small girl, but probably an adult in this world, with puffy pink hair. She was wearing a massive pink hoodie that didn't fit her along with some denim short shorts and pink and black striped leggings. She was rather cute. What was alarming though was that when she showed up she was at eye level with me, but it appears she's also around a foot shorter than me. Putting two and two together I realized this must be Pinkie Pie.

"Hi! I'm Pinkie!" She practically screamed, "You're new here, we should throw a party for you!!" With the raise of both of her hands from that statement, confetti began to rain down onto my head. Looking up unintrigued, I found nothing there. I don't know much about mlp but I do know that Pinkie supposedly makes no fuckin sense. I'm beginning to see that.

"That won't be necessary." After my blunt remark I began to walk off. I was stopped when she ran in front of me waving her arms like an idiot.

"Hold up! You never even told me your name..... or where you live or your birthday or your age or you favourite colour or your......." She began listing things that had no relevance. I tuned her out until she was done just in case there was an actual point she wanted to relay. But nope. "And that's why we have got to throw you a party!!!" Looking at her again for a moment, I began walking past her again. I then heard from behind me, "Hey! Were do you think your going!" I had a plan to get her to leave me alone. Do absolutely nothing.

I spent the next 15 minutes or so walking around with a little pink creature behind me asking every question under the sun. After realising this wasn't going to work and that she had the will power of a warrior, I decided to just sprint home. Meaning she's somewhere in Ponyville probably feeling really confused. Heading upstairs, there was an office, two bedrooms and a toilet. Going into the bigger bedroom of the two I saw a small toilet in there as well. Deciding to make that my room, I grabbed a quick shower, threw on my rags and decided to chill for a bit. Lying in bed, I processed what had happened through the last few days. I went over a few topics such as what other powers do I have, how difficult are the fangs going to be and whether or not I'd need to actually start training. I came to the conclusion that training would be a good option no matter how strong they are. Plus, I know there are some rather powerful magic users in this world so I can never be to careful. Always handy to have the extra edge in combat.

Realizing a few hours had past, I decided to head off to Rarity's. She never actually told me were it was except the it had dresses in the window, but thankfully, I already know where that is. Grabbing an apple from the kitchen, I stepped out the door.

I decided to walk there as to not start to rely on my powers. Thankfully, there were no interruptions seeming as though most people saw my interaction with Rainbow and Rarity. It wasn't a long walk and I quite enjoyed it, having insane amounts of stamina means I get the incredibleness that is walking and breathing in the pure air minus the achy legs part.

Finally arriving at the boutique, I opened the door and triggered the little bell on the inside. I soon heard someone running down the stairs. As they came into view I saw she was wearing a beautiful white dress with purple cuffs and bottom. It really complemented her hair as well, it seemed she managed to get the exact same colour. As she finally reached the bottom of the stairs, she spoke. "Oh, hello my darling! Glad you came."

A bit annoyed, "Darling?"

She replied with, "Oh just accept and embrace. Now, strip down for me." Assuming she didn't mean the other kind of strip, I walked over to the middle of the room and began to take off my shirt. I was about to take my trousers off when the thought hit me, I'm naked under these. I paused for a sec, turning to Rarity she gave me an impatient look, "Well go on then what are you waiting for."

Replying rather slowly, "Errr Rarity, I kinda didn't have any clothes before the guard lent me some." I didn't really want to say it out loud so I tried to drop some things for her to pick up.

"Oh, I see." Ok, she gets it, "That must have been very difficult for you. No worries, I can make you all the clothes you want now!" Never mind then.

In a rather 'put the pieces together' tone, I replied. "I wasn't exactly wearing anything else before then......"

She instantly replied, "Yes you said, but now I can.........." She stopped suddenly. I think it clicked. "Oh, ohhhh." Slightly red in the cheeks now and looking away from me, "Now I see your concerns. However, I’m pretty good at that without looking.” She said with a small blush.

"I went to pull down the rest of my rags but not before adding, "Just please try to avoid looking at it whilst you take my measurements. I suppose I can let you touch me this time soon as you kind of have to but could you please keep the touching to a minimum?" By the time I had finished the sentence my trousers were off.

She gave me a confused look, "Whatever do you mean? I'm already done." That confused the fuck out of me. I then remembered magic exists, thank god for small miracles I guess. I need to get used to all this magic bullcrap. Maybe I'll hit the library tomorrow morning. Then again, I was planning to go check out that apple farm. Sweet apple acres I think it's called. Fuck it, maybe I'll do both.. It's not like I have any other plans and the princesses did a good job of not telling me shit.

"Apologies, from were I'm from we do it by hand." Oh how that one statement fucked me over. Looking down to pull my pants back up and then looking back up again, I saw what could only be described as pure interest.

Before I could question why she was giving that look she began to throw question after question at me. "Where are you from!? What kind of styles do they wear!? What do they make their clothes out of!?" Before she could continue, I focused fox hunt on her vocal box. Damn having full control of Ban's powers is useful. She began to look really scared. She probably thought she'd literally broken her voice by talking too much. Giving her her power back she began to make random sounds, as if testing out whether it still worked or not. She then looked up at me, "Did you do that?"

"You wouldn't stop talking and I'm not one for shouting."

She blushed a bit before responding, "Apologies, I do that sometimes. But did you really have to do that?" Shrugging probably wasn't the best answer but woopdy doo. Giving me a deadpanned look, she spoke again. "Just raise you hand next time or something."

"K"

"But in all seriousness. Where are you from?" I wasn't sure how to answer that. I could lie and tell her that I was an equestrian, just raised somewhere else. Or I could tell her the truth, or.......

"Hah, wouldn't you like to know" Dodge the question.

With a slight huff and an adorable pout, "Fine then, keep your secrets." Turning to the clock on her wall and then back to me she spoke once more, "We're all done here. Apologies, I would invite you for a cup of tea but I have plans for tonight." It was now about 7 o'clock. (English time) "I just need your colour preference and then I'll be all set."

"What about what style I want?" I asked.

She looked at me with a cocked brow, "What do you mean? I'm going to make loads of styles and then you pick the ones you want." Well that was a waste of material. Oh wait no, magic. They can probably use it to make a fucking pencil or something.

"I see. Again, different culture." She then had an understanding look on her face. I then remembered, "Purple, green and black." Thought I'd mix things up a bit.

She looked at me slightly confused, "Are you sure? That's quite the odd pallet."

"I'm sure" I responded with.

"Very well. I shall try my best but I will probably have to make some sets of clothes based on one or two colours as it may be difficult to integrate all three. Is this acceptable?"

Being the smooth and definitely not self conscious guy I am, I responded with, "Hey, your the professional."

After a quick goodbye I took my leave. She informed me that the clothes would come in a big tub outside my house one of these days, and to keep an eye out for it. With that info in mind, I decided I would walk around bare feet, like Toph from 'Avatar the last air bender', for the next couple of days so I would know when the parcel was dropped outside my house. It's not like I'm going to go anywhere too far away for me to feel it any time soon.

Reaching my house, I walked up the stairs and into my bedroom. I figured I'd get some sleep in so I could wake up early and get some things done. Before I could get into bed, I heard a strange noise coming from down stairs. It was hard to describe, maybe as if something was being written down on paper really fast with a weird humming noise in the back round. I went downstairs to investigate. Reaching the bottom of the stairs, I turned to my left to see the book on the kitchen counter (where I had previously left it) opened with an odd purple glow around it. Then suddenly, the glowing and noises stopped as the book slammed back shut with a small thud. I was very intrigued now and had a feeling I knew what it was that had just happened. Walking over too the kitchen, I reached the counter and looked down at the leather book. Slowly, I opened it to reveal the first page along with the inside of the cover next to it. I then reached for the page and turned it. Both pages were empty except the new title that appeared on the second page of the book.

It read 'Spirit Spear Chastiful'. The same thing happened as last time with years of training and information flooding into my mind. I nearly squealed in excitement as I read those words. After all the info had been placed in my mind, a spear suddenly appeared to my right. I turned to see the long silver spear in all it's glory. The tip looked just as sharp as you would expect. It appeared taller than me but looking down I saw it was floating about a foot off the ground. This was going to be fun
