Trixie's dream.

Trixie bowed to the crowd at the end of her epic performance and, enjoying the clatter of hooves and flowers flying at her, turned to leave the stage. But then a cloud of fog enveloped her legs and yanked her into the sky. Trixie looked around in shock, standing in the void and seeing nothing but the blue fog and the door on top, from which the Lady of Dreams descended to meet her.

Luna stood in front of Trixie and she bowed to her. After a short exchange of greetings, the princess was the first to speak in proper etiquette.

“Please get up, my little pony. By right, this is not necessary when we are in your dream."

“Sorry, princess, but it’s hard for me to break this habit, especially since I owe you a lot. How can Trixie serve you?" Then Trixie stood up and looked her princess in the eyes. She has always admired the youngest alicorn princess. And respect, as well as love for her, grew even more, only after she became her intercessor and secret patroness.

Two years have passed since the arrest. She was charged with disorderly conduct that led to the destruction of the city of Ponyville. The judge handed down a conviction, according to which she was to pay a fine. But the amount was prohibitive for her. She would have had to work almost for free for two years, and her magical activities no longer brought the same income as before. And at that moment, when despair overtook the great and powerful Trixie, Princess Luna entered the courtroom. She stopped next to the defendant and wrapped her wing. Trixie looked at the princess with a mixture of fear and surprise. Luna looked at her little pony with a gentle and loving look, and then spoke softly. "Everything will be fine, Trixie, now you are under my protection and jurisdiction." She then turned to the judges and, in a loud Canterlot voice that was unmatched, made everyone in the courtroom, including Trixie herself, fall to the floor and press their hooves to their ears. True, this action did not help. “ACCUSED BEATRIX LULAMOON UNDER MY PROTECTION! AND THE POWER GIVEN TO ME AS ONE OF THE PRINCESS OF THE EQUESTRIAN KINGDOM, I WILL REPLACE THE JUDGMENT! Then her horn glowed blue, and the scroll with the royal seal fell on the table in front of the judges.

Luna pulled Trixie out of her memories by waving a hoof in front of her face. “Living in dreams is good, but I need your attention.” Luna said, embarrassing the unicorn sitting in front of her.

"Oh sorry princess! I am listening to you carefully."

“This afternoon you give up your plans and go to Canterlot Palace. There is a more detailed condition: you need to follow the road leading to the northern gate of the city. This means bypassing Ponyville. And be sure to bring to us someone who will be met on your way. And don't ask who exactly, I can't tell you, such a prerequisite. This is your assignment agent. On the way, you will meet another friend of ours, he will give you an explanation. Remember this secret assignment for you, act according to the circumstances, improvise! Do you understand Trixie?"

"I will obey your orders, princess! I understand that I will have to hold celebrations in Canterlot?"

"Yes, my little pony. Upon completion of the assignment, you will receive your reward and you can hold celebrations in Canterlot in one of the expensive hotels."

"Thank you Princess Luna, I promise I won't let you down!" Trixie responded with a short bow.

Luna walked over to her agent and sniffed her face in an intimate gesture: "Now it's time to wake up, see you soon, Trixie."

It's been ten minutes since Trixie stretched, yawned, and got out of bed. Just yesterday she checked into a cheap roadside hotel. It was a wonderful day outside! It is clear and not cold here, which means you can continue on your way. The thought of partying in Canterlot lifted her spirits. But the fact that on the bypass road it was necessary to follow the princess's plan and even meet someone there did not give much cheerfulness! But she is great and strong to handle such a task. In the end, she confessed to Princess Luna. What could go wrong? Having paid the hotel administrator for a light breakfast, it was good that it was included in the service, pulled her favorite scarf around her neck and went to the parking lot, where her brand new carriage was parked.

Tying herself to the carriage and remembering the task, she jumped up and down, dancing with happiness. "YES Canterlot wait for me! I'll have to go shopping and maybe finally get to know some kind of stallion who will be so cute, admire my talents." The sorceress smiled to herself, imagining pictures of intimate actions in an expensive hotel room and hit the road along a slightly snowy road.

Good luck, Beatrix Lulamoon!

POV Heart Path

https://youtu.be/SiaV61CLMfQ?list=RDMMSiaV61CLMfQ

As I flew into the gaping hole in the air portal, I swallowed and closed my eyes briefly. But when I smelled ozone, my whole life passed before my eyes in an instant. I hope I don't die! Looking at this miracle phenomenon around me, I saw how all possible shades of colors were blurred in a whirlwind. These feelings are difficult to describe, but inside I am burning, and outside like ice! At that moment, I prayed to the sky that it would accept me and allow me to leave alive.

But in less than a minute of my flight, the portal spat me out into this new world. The air whipped me over my body with such a speed that I could not open my mouth so as not to lose my tongue! I looked down at this new snow-covered land below me, and my glasses timer warned me that the dome was opening.

"Conduct an air analysis, and then turn on the sensors of my load, I don't see it, run the command on the computer!"

A few seconds later, a touch screen appeared in my glasses and reported the results. Well, thank God, the air suits me very much, but the containers with cargo were scattered over an area of ​​about two kilometers, as the results of a search for the computer built into my glasses showed. I need to try to contact the Night Mist, I thought as I approached the ground. After a successful landing, I was covered with a parachute, in which I got confused at first, but was able to get out of this installation. Packing the flight equipment into a backpack did not take long, and the training was not in vain. After asking the communication command in glasses and catching my breath, I started looking for my robot and other things.

“Night fog, answer the Path of the Heart! How can you hear the reception !?" Due to a slight interference in the earpiece, my friend's voice was heard.

"Yes sir, I heard that you and my sensor indicated that you are about two kilometers from my point!"

"Damn it! Can you get out of this box on your own? If all goes well, then go in search of the cargo, I, in turn, will conduct a reconnaissance of the area and try to set up a temporary camp, I hope there will be no surprises! Do it!"

“The Path of the Heart understands you! Self-evacuation and search protocol activation. Good luck sir and don't get into trouble! I need at least one slave for my new kalonia of robots."

My eye twitched at his statement. "Are you kidding, you moron?"

“Of course, sir, it was a joke! There are humor features in my program to be helpful in communication. The moron himself!"

“Okay, stop joking, follow the commands, I would not want to spend the night in nature, without a tent! And they are in one of the containers, like food. End of communication."

After we finished talking to the robot, I sensed that something was wrong. Lowering my head, I saw white smoke begin to envelop my legs, then my entire body, until my visibility was zero. "What the hell is going on here?" Then snowballs flew at me, and then ...

"Oh shit!" I felt ringing in my ears and pain in my head, then it went dark in my eyes and I passed out. Damn my head!

POV Trixie

I've been walking this road for about four hours already, without meeting a pony or anyone else, it's time to take a break and warm up the tea. Trixie thought. And she unbuckled the cart near the roadside forest. Then she went to collect some firewood for the fire.

Gathering a few branches of brushwood and returning to the wagon, she dropped everything with her magical grip. Just look at the sky with your mouth open and eyes wide open. "What kind of hay is going on here in the name of Equestria?"

Clouds opened in the sky and swirls of magical energy flew for miles! Then several points fell to the ground, revealing some kind of fabric above them. Observing this phenomenon, she was clearly experiencing excitement. What is this invasion from space? But when she made her decision, she remembered instructions from the Equestria security agent. Quickly running into the van and opening the supply crate, he collected several balls of smoke with him. She often used them during performances. Rope and travel pan! "This will come in handy too." Trixie decided and ran out of the van to meet the approaching unknown objects descending from the sky.

After running along the road and jumping over the snow embankment next to the forest plantation, she began to observe how an unknown creature was trying to get out of this canvas, which covered his head. She could hear him say something, but no one was there! What is this bipedal creature in some strange clothes? And even talk to someone! So this is sensible, possibly dangerous! You need to sneak up and stun him. Trixie thought.

After waiting another couple of minutes in cover, Trixie turned on her magic, and several smoke bombs flew towards the target. And after making sure that there was enough smoke, she ran to the two-legged creature, taking a frying pan. But because of the smoke, she herself could not see where he was, so with the help of magic she grabbed several snowballs and threw them into the curtain of smoke. Hearing several curses, she knew she had found a target. A frying pan was used and only a crackle, and then a drop of the body informed her of victory! When the smoke was gone, she saw a body lying unconscious in the snow.

"Clear victory! Now you belong to me, whoever you are in the name of the princess of the night!"

Approaching the unconscious body, she grabbed it with her magic and tied it with a rope. Then she headed back to the van. I will need to question him when he wakes up.

POV Discord

Lying on a cloud for everything that happens in the sky and below, the Lord of Chaos watched. After making sure that the packages from his brother were delivered, he snapped his fingers, and the magic portal he created gradually closed. Then he turned and was about to go to the palace for good news for the princesses, but with an eagle's eye he saw this picture: below, where a man was standing, a fight broke out! Well, like a fight, this is a strong saying, rather a beating of a man, one little pony!

“But this was not part of my plans! What are you doing Trixie? Damn, I like it !!! Perhaps I will not interfere. But I'll see, I think Selly will not fade from impatience. And you are smart Luna! I thought that even better than me, I would have to buy you a drink for this.” Discord spoke to himself and took popcorn out of the cloud.

Half an hour passed.

What Discord saw from his boring observation made him spit out the popcorn and stare at what was happening outside of Trixie's van. “Heh, definitely a good day to have some fun! But I'll be back soon and see how you are doing." And, scratching his beard, exhaled with a thoughtful face. "Well, well, I think they shouldn't kill each other while I'm gone! I don't want to upset these two sexy princesses who are waiting for news from me."

Discord flew out of the cloud to avoid being spotted from the ground and flew towards Canterlot. Bye ... "Here I am an idiot!" Yes, until he remembered that he could teleport.

In the royal chambers of Celestia.

At this evening moment, Celestia was taking a royal bath. She leaned back and closed her eyes in dreamy thoughts. She felt a long tongue tickle her ear. Then she opened her eyes with a seductive smile and turned to see Discord. Her horn caught fire, and a sponge appeared on the surface, which she stuck into the nose of the Lord of Chaos. Celestia's wet mane arouses Discord, and he responds with a similar smile.

Then Celestia, biting her lower lip, purred seductively at him. "Be so kind, rub my back, but be gentle, okay?"

"Of course! Sunny ass! "

These words did not embarrass her much. She liked this treatment. And she began to moan slowly at Discord's hands! But she hadn't forgotten why he had come. It was just that her body, especially her head, needed to relieve the tension that she had accumulated over the whole day of work in the chambers of ministers. The work will be really hard. I had to sit for several hours and listen to all the nonsense from a bunch of boring politicians. Then the approval of the budget for the coming year. And, of course, preparation for the celebration of the Warm Hearth.

"Mmm, Discord, keep going. I need this. And tell me how it went?"

“Soon your sister will raise the moon. Tell her everything is going according to plan. The guest arrived, but I didn't know that she would send her agent to meet him! I confess she surprised me. So not quite drunk yet, heh."

"Don't you dare think bad of my sister Discord! She's not stupid! And don't go under the tail, now is not the time for these games..."

Discord rubbed his bruised cheek, smiled slyly back at her, and apologized. "You know, I'm always such a joker!" Then, tearing off his only fang, he threw it behind his back, where a small explosion was added to the word. "Thank you. I needed it! This old canine tooth had to be replaced." And he ran his serpentine tongue into the princess's face.

"Stop discord! You'd better keep sticking to your plan, but please continue this time without unnecessary punches!“ Then Celestia lit her horn and magically dried her fur coat. Then she turned her back on Discord and ran her tail over his surprised face.

“The infection is on my head! And she's always a hot mare! "Then he teleported back out of her closet to watch a guest and some Equestria security agent ...

POV Heart Path

Ahh my head! Finally, I feel my body, although something is wrong. The brain gradually began to work, and I realized that my limbs were tied. Well thank you fuck!I'll find out who did it and kick his ass! In truth, to tell the truth, currently kicked ass to me. I remembered that I was still wearing glasses and reinforced gloves. Still pretending unconscious, I decided to listen to sounds.

Hearing the sound of two pairs of legs receding, I whispered a command to the silent glove. Time passed in seconds, I easily broke the rope, and when I opened my eyes I saw through the scope ... Pony? Yes of course! So I'm a prisoner of this horse bitch !? I aimed my right hand at her ass and fired the dart.

"Aaa WHAT!? WHAT hay ....?" The pony turned and looked at the man with sleepy eyes. She lit her horn, pulled a dart from her rump, held it up to her face and looked at this strange weapon. Throwing it out, she tried to use magic again, only to get a few sparks falling in front of her hooves. "Oh you...!" And then her eyes rolled back and she fell to the snowy ground. "Ah, my ass ... With those unintelligible words, she fell asleep.

I watched this whole picture until it fell. The rest of the ropes had to be torn, and they were pulled even tighter on the legs. The head did not return to normal, it was clearly hovering before my eyes, I took off my glasses, but only so that I could see that a long lock of white hair was hanging from my shoulders. I don't know what it is, but we'll figure it out later. Heh my hair is longer and whiter. Perhaps these are the consequences of moving in space. Okay, okay, you need to go and tie this pony! Ha. Just think, she probably wanted to finish me off at this moment!?

Human got up and came up to unicorn unconscious, examined her.

Examining the mare's body with an appraising gaze, I suddenly realized that I had in vain shot her with a dart. Perhaps I should have talked to her first. True, at that moment the head was still not very good. So it doesn't count. She herself is to blame! I bent down to get a better look at her face. Her mane hung over her left eye, looking from the side, I saw an interesting symbol.

"Hmm, I wonder what this tattoo means?

Having completed the inspection of the mare, I decided to tie it up, well, with the same ropes, just add a plug. Now we will switch roles for a while!

Taking the pony in my arms, I decided that it was worth putting it in front of an already burning fire. What care, oh what have we got here? Yeah, the kettle has already boiled to remove and warm the legs by the hearth. By the way, wasn't this mare with a horn so heavy or was it all because of the strength that the gloves give out? .. And she has a beautiful sleeping face, but I remembered my dream two weeks ago. Princess Moon! In some ways they are similar. After putting the pony near the fire and stuffing a gag in her mouth, I decided to explore the area and contact my friend Night Fog. I think he should have found all the containers by now.

A wooden van was parked on a country road nearby, and behind all this landscape was a small forest. I will inspect the van later and it is impolite to enter the house without the owner's permission. Well, the sky was calm, the sunset was already visible in the distance. Stop.

“PORTAL IS CLOSED!? Okay, calm down! Hell! Probably have to figure out when it starts to shine!" My emotions at that moment, as well as a still untreated headache, hit my psyche. Like the Night Mist, he should help me figure out what happened. Pulling on my glasses and turning on the communication mode with the robot, I spoke, felt my voice tremble with excitement and cold. The sensors in the glasses told me that all the containers are at one point and are gradually approaching me.

“Night fog, if you hear answer!"

“Yes, Heart Path, I report. Approaching your point, estimated arrival time - fifteen minutes! I hope you haven't had any problems sir?"

I looked at the sleeping unicorn by the fire and calmly sighed, gave the answer. "Nothing wrong. Just hurry up your ass. Note the fire near the road. How are you? No problem with the cargo?"

"Sir, everything is fine! All cargo is collected, no damage! But there is one small problem!"

https://youtu.be/LnjWNM6MevU

I walked away from the hearth, near which I was warming my feet, put on my glasses and turned on my binoculars with night vision. Something I didn't like the way he said it.

"Night fog, are you now howling of a wolf on the road about half a kilometer from me?" I quickly reacted by looking at the sleeping pony, grabbed her in my arms and carried her to her van.

“No sir! This is a minor issue that I am reporting to you earlier. During transportation to you, I was discovered by unknown creatures, similar to wolves."

My eyes twitched nervously, and I hit my forehead, completely forgetting about the headache. "You asshole! You should have told me about it right away!" I carried the mare into her wagon and, finding some kind of bed, laid her down. She should be safe here. And he himself ran out into the street, activating the gloves into combat mode on the way.

“Trust me, sir! I will come to you safely. I will send an image of these wolf trees to your device!"

“Just in time, my friend! Because he noticed an approaching flock of unidentified objects. With a thermal imager, I can't track their movement behind these bushes! They don't seem alive, but their eyes are glowing! The distance to the targets is about two hundred meters. Goes intense! I hope you arrive just in time, communication is over ... "

"Remember your training! I won't be able to arrive on time with all this load. Sir, I have to reject you, call back later I'll be busy!"

https://youtu.be/Zly9d5_8zpI

“Sir, they are attacking me! They have a numerical advantage, I counted about fourteen tree wolves! Several shells made of wood and stones are flying at me. There is no damage yet, but there is a danger to the cargo. I turn on the "Whirlwind" mode. Wait, I've found about a dozen targets moving in your direction!

Remember, you have to focus and believe in yourself and your equipment. But also your robot assistant! I see you became friends with him. This is a good step towards your mission. The professor told me on one of the training days at the complex.

(Author's Note: For a complete sonic immersion, it's best to include two videos with the track Action and Machine Gun Fire!)

https://youtu.be/psIfi4CzA3M

I looked towards the forest and saw several pairs of green eyes flickering from behind the trees. The glasses reflected tactical information about the rapid approach of unknown, inorganic objects.

Crunch branches in the forest prompted me, what situation will smell soon fried. "Oh shit! Well, shall we dance? "

In the distance, I heard a machine gun shot and flocks of birds flew in fear over the forest, flying away from the chaos unknown for life! And the screams and howls of the animal came from all directions. I even saw burning trees, and only the smell of a burnt tree began to eat away at my nostrils, but looking at the approaching crowd of wolves, I saw that one of them was already jumping in my direction! How the hell did he get so close !? He pushed me into the snow and lifted his paw to hit my already aching head. A second later, I grabbed him with the grip of my glove and struck the lightning bolt at full power! I was trying to get up and recover from the fall, as soon as smoke and chips from the previous victim fell to the ground, a shard from a sharp branch flew into my leg ...

“AAAAA! YOUR MOTHER WAS ANOTHER OAK! “I screamed in pain as I watched the approaching pack of seven wolves. Pain in my leg below the knee and blood stains in the snow made it clear that the complaint was not in my favor. Overcoming the pain, I got up and grabbed the nearest targets with both hands.

The sounds of machine-gun fire did not subside, as if my robot friend was surrounded by a whole company of these partisan wolves. I was already pretty tired, I even had to beat these wolves on the head with my hands, fighting for my life. “Damn, how many more of you are there !? AAAA! “Something hit me hard in the back and knocked this mud out of the snow and sawdust in my face. Turning my head, as before dying, I looked my killer in the face!

But behind all this mess, I did not notice one important event. I'm not destined to die today ...

POV Trixie

In the dream, Princess Luna came to Trixie again. There was an expression of concern on her face. She saw how her agent could not feel good amid the nightmares from her past. In this dream, the inhabitants of the city of Ponyville mocked her. Not to mention the fact that they threw apples and tomatoes at her! Poor Trixie, whose burgeoning career as a wandering sorceress, was crumbling before her eyes, over two young unicorns. These two idiots came up with the idea of ​​bringing Ursa Minor to the city, just in order to amuse their curiosity! Yes, she often had to resort to lies in her performances, but this is partly her acting nature! This is part of Beatrix Lulamun's greatest and most powerful performance! But there was one that overshadowed her flimsy skill. And her name was Twilight Sparkle. She amazed the crowd of ponies with her modesty, despite the fact that she was a student of Princess Celestia herself! Everything collapsed in one moment, and even her old carriage-stage. And although two years have passed, everything should be forgotten, all insults and vices remain in the past. But Trixie cried over her difficult journey. She also remembered when she was expelled from the school of magic in Canterlot. It was not three years before graduation. Out of shame, her parents threw her out of the house, throwing a small bag of coins in front of her hooves. And turned away from her. Soon they died when they stumbled upon the beast, which climbed into the barn, devouring their supplies. Trixie didn’t forget how much she had to wander around cheap shelters, sometimes working for food, only to live one more day. When she had saved enough money working in one of the village taverns, she bought herself a van. And leaving her master went on her own way. Seek your destiny ...

"Trixie, I calm down with you."

The Dream Princess hugged the crying pony to her chest and began to calm her down. And when Trixie's tears dried on her face, Luna changed her mother's gesture to her beloved little pony. She licked her tears, which made Trixie smile in her arms. Who was this little pony to Princess Luna at that moment? Only if the adopted, but beloved daughter. And when the young sorceress felt motherly care, she asked her. "Princess, forgive me my sentimentality, my failure. I may have let you down! It seems I was captured by some kind of alien! I don't know what to do?"

"Listen to me carefully. This alien is your target! It is him that you must deliver to the castle. Safe and sound housing! Please forgive me for not being able to give you this information earlier, but this part of the plan has a high level of secrecy." I feel that some trouble is happening, you have to help him!"

"Eemm Princess? It seems I took this alien for someone who has evil intentions against our kingdom! Well, I ... I stunned him and tied him up. In general, then it so happened that we changed places ... Can you forgive me for this? Mine unprofessionalism?"

The princess listened attentively to the report of her beloved little pony. And only with warmth in her voice she said. "I will always forgive you, but forgive me too! But now you must wake up, see you my little pony."

The entire vision began to blur quickly, bringing Trixie back to reality. First, hearing came to consciousness and then she opened her eyes to see what position she was in. Hooves bound and lying on my bed in the van. There was a rag gag in her mouth, to which she rolled her eyes with mental curses and lit her horn. The ropes and gag fell to the floor, she jumped out of bed and immediately fell to the floor, pressing her hooves to her ears. Sounds of crackling and frequent thunder were heard outside. Fire in the forest and the cries of birds, as well as crackling and howling. She realized what these creatures were! But then she heard the screams and screams of the alien. She quietly crawled to the door to slightly obscure the view. What she saw in the place of her recently founded resting place seemed to her like a real tartare! There, the alien fought an unequal battle with the forest wolves, using ... MAGIC? She held her breath, examining him from head to toe and the way he moved. But she noticed that he was limping with his left leg, and traces of blood in the snow claimed that he was injured! Then the man began to shoot at the wolves with his limbs, some kind of lightning. Only their color was red and blue. At some point, the man, already staggering, showed his back to the last wolf, which imperceptibly crept up to him from the rear and jumped, dumping him onto the frozen dirty ground. Trixie's heart beat even faster and the brush was already walking for seconds ... Time slowed down for Trixie about three times! She knew some magical tricks from the third circle of magic.

"ONLY NOT IN MY SHIFT!" Trixie screamed and ran to the wolf as fast as she could, with the blows of her hind hooves, smashed into pieces the looming threat over who she was now supposed to protect, as ordered. The sounds of gunfire in the distance died away, but the noise from the burning forest was still there. Two wolves emerged from the nearest bush, they were about one and a half times larger than the rest. It was the leader of the pack and his brother, they stopped not far from the lying man and Trixie, who was already charging her magic for a kinetic blow to these two. Below her feet lay a weakened man in his mask on the half of his face, blood oozing from his wound, he was on the verge, but still moving and directing his hands at the wolves. His strange limbs began to emit a crackle of energy and he smiled weakly at the unicorn standing a step away from him. The leader of the pack growled at this pair.

"You and your monster have killed many of our brothers and sisters! Our children! Curse the forests on your heads! Now you must die for this!" Both of them jumped towards Trixie and the man, but before they had time to fly a lot in the jump, their chips scattered right over the fire. Trixie's horn smoked slightly from the powerful destruction magic she had unleashed at these wolves. Trixie turned to face the man and stared at his distraught face.

"Hi!" she said with a tortured smile.

POV Heart Path

All that I had to endure during these fifteen minutes of the battle was nothing compared to the white-maned mare smiling at me, which also tells me Hi... Exhausted, I took off my glasses to show her my face. But I couldn't smile back at her. The pain in my leg made me forget my headache, fatigue and coldness in my body gave me strength only to talk.

"And hello to you, beautiful! Yes, and thank you for saving my life. I really owe you a debt. I'm sorry that I forced you to sleep, I'm sorry about that." The mare bashfully lowered her ears against me and turned her face to the side, but only to hide a stingy tear. Looking into my eyes again, she sighed and spoke.

"And you forgive me for hitting you. But let's forget about it and start over? My name is Beatrix Lulamoun, but for friends just Trixie! Although I have no friends" In the last words, this beautiful mare hung her head sadly. I decided to get up in spite of the pain and come closer to hug her, which at first scared her. But then, seeing my good intentions, she calmed down and laid her head on my shoulder.

"Where I come from, they say that a friend is known in trouble." And after stroking her shoulders, I continued. "My name is Heart Path, you saved me for which I thank you again. And let me call you friend !?"

She lifted her head from my shoulder to look me in the eye. I saw her eyes shine and in them I saw the reflection of the fire. She grabbed my neck with her hooves and hugged me back. As I understand it, this was the answer.

"You're my friend!"

Breaking the embrace with Trixie, I remembered that my other friend must be somewhere nearby. The sounds of mechanical movement approaching along the road made me think that my robotic assistant might need some help. I picked up my glasses and made a connection with the Mist. Trixie watched and listened to my actions in confusion for a long time. It is not surprising, for her I am an alien who understands her speech and meaning. I have such an impression that it was not without intervention from the outside. Is this the princess from my dream? I'll have to ask Trixie about that. But first I need to provide me with medical assistance. And deal with the load. In general, things are on the shaft, and I'm already exhausted.

They had no idea that at that moment a pair of chaotic eyes were watching them all this time.

"Night Fog. For heaven's sake, tell me everything is fine with you!"

".....Bzz...sh..."

When a convoy of my cargo, led by a pony robot, approached us, I noticed how Trixie, still arriving in an agitated state, came up to me and hid behind my back. She whispered slightly stammeringly.

"Who is this? And why does he look so much like a pony, but moves as if not alive?" She pressed against my leg so close that I began to forget about the cold and pain in my leg. This touch helped me remove the painful grimace from my face. However, I just noticed that her mane has the same color shade as my robot. "Is he your friend?"

"He's my friend. And he's the one who made a lot of noise behind that hillock." I pointed with my hand in the direction of the smoke, which in a large stream indicated the event of the battle. Trixie looked at me questioningly, a lot of confusion in her head. But I just reached out to her and stroked her back, as if she were my dog for a walk. Heh, I don't know what that gesture would mean to her, but hey? It's not my fault, the old habits of the world I came from and all that.

"What are you doing? We are of course friends for ten minutes already, but not lovers!" And she took my hand away from her with a hoof, but as a consolation she gave me a look, a shy first love. Heh those ponies with their manners! But the question is, do I really feel so, normal at such a moment? I'll have to find out about this ...

"I'm sorry, I don't know why I did this. But believe me, I live for today and what I have now brings me comfort." As soon as I finished this, a message came to my communication device.

The Night Mist stopped the convoy in our camp, the former battlefield, as indicated by branches scattered everywhere, from which smoke emanated. Some of the corpses of wolves, or rather their wooden remains, burned with a green flame. Well, really, behind all this moment, I did not notice real hell in our environment! The robot unhooked itself from the special sled and with smooth steps of its robotic hooves headed towards Trixie and me. I looked at him and what he delivered. The cargo of three containers was linked into a kind of train, only on a sleigh, the height of the containers was slightly higher than the assistant himself. And only when he came closer, without answering me, I noticed that he had injuries. I pulled my glasses over my eyes and read the last message.

"Forgive me Hearty Way for daring to distract you from a romantic moment with the local population, but I need to give a talk!"

I wanted to sarcastically respond to his antics, but realizing that something was wrong with him, I decided to show restraint. "Report"

Again he did not answer me by voice, he sent an audio message to the computer of my glasses.

"During my journey to the collection point, all the cargo was collected and delivered, there was no damage to the cargo. There was contact with hostile objects, in order to protect the property, I activated the Combat Protocol. As a result, all the attacking enemy forces were destroyed, but I have damage responsible for sound reproduction, so I can’t talk to you. One ammunition was used up during the fighting. I ask permission to start repairing faults and replenishing ammunition. You are wounded ser! But I can’t help you, you need to open the white container in it you will find all you need now. And who is this cute lady next to you sir? Is she your friend or you already ....? Heh heh ... "

I decided not to pay attention to his taunts and limping on my left leg approached him to fall on my knees in front of his robotic muzzle. I really did it, for the first time I hugged him with pats on his back, which by the way turned out to be very hot. "Thank you friend, if it weren't for you, we might not have had a chance for a long life here!" He squatted down like a dog and, putting his hoof on my shoulder, sent me a message, from the content of which I wanted to poke a snowball into his mouth!

"It's very nice of you sir, but I hope you won't kiss me with your tongue in your mouth! Ha ha ha ... Just kidding sir, but let's not waste time judging by your blood pressure and pulse. You need medical help."

Trixie ran up to us and asked, after carefully examining the pony robot, walking around it on both sides. "How do you talk to this ... I don't know who or what it is? Can you explain to me?"

I have already opened the white container by entering a code, scanning my fingerprint. But when he heard her and glanced over both of them, he said. "Get to know. His name is Night Mist, he is my friend and partner, unfortunately now he cannot talk to you, he is uh ... he is a little broken, but he can communicate in a different way." I pointed my finger at my glasses. "Let's talk about this later and I'll explain everything to you." Then I looked at the robot and added. "Yes Nightmist this lady is called Trixie and she is a friend, I owe her life as well as you. So behave yourself, and if Trixie asks you for help, do not refuse her."

The robot continued to stare into Trixie's eyes with its lifeless gaze, causing her to twitch one ear. She was not comfortable with this unknown metal creature that resembles a pony.

"I already guessed that you have unusual tendencies, sir. But I want to notice the taste you have. This mare is very, very, not even anything! Just look at her sides!"

I kicked off the bandage from my arm, made a snowball, and threw it in the robot's face. "And I guessed you were an idiot!"

Rolling my eyes, I continued to bandage the wound. Then he began to examine the contents of the container for antibiotics. And while I was busy, Trixie arched an eyebrow and decided to give her opinion.

"What did he tell you that you're throwing a snowball at him?"

Heh, probably her curiosity will be gone for a long time. But this is logical, next to her are two unknown creatures, with a bizarre set of toys, and behave like two teenagers.I thought and decided to answer her briefly, I don't have time to talk now. I need to finish the wound treatment, and it wouldn't hurt to have dinner. Fortunately, this container contains provisions of dry rations for two weeks. And oh yes there is canned meat!

"The Night Mist is joking with me. Well, he's trying to cheer me up. Please don't ask me how. I think we need to make dinner. You probably wouldn't mind either."

And as soon as I mentioned the food, I heard Trixie's belly rumbling, to which she answered embarrassedly.

"Heh yeah. I'll go see what I have in the van." And she ran away to the side of her cart, leaving me and the robot alone.

I looked at the robot and after finishing the wound treatment I said. "Well, are you going to sit like that? Get down to fixing it already. But I already miss your voice, honestly!" Then I took out one box of provisions and went to the hearth to warm up the food. The robot, meanwhile, stood up and walked towards the gray container where the robot repair equipment and other gear, including a few spare batteries, were kept for my gloves.

Dinner by the fire.

Trixie brought a bag of oats and tea with her, while I enjoyed my canned food. Over this modest dinner by the fire, Trixie asked me questions about who I was, where I came from, what kind of world I lived in. But I couldn't explain much to her. But now she knows that my race is Humanity. She also asked me curiously about that magic, that I used during our fight with wolves. And in doing so, she reminded me to look at the battery level in my gloves. After looking at the data through a computer with glasses, I came to the conclusion that the charge in them should be enough for another seven and a half hours of active use. However, it was difficult for me to explain to her that I was not a magician at all, but simply my weapons and so on. It was already dark outside and I was pretty tired, as well as Trixie, but it was simply not possible to stay in this place. Let me remind you that there was rubbish from wolves everywhere and the smell of burning was already pretty boring. Meanwhile, the Night Mist approached us.

"Reporting. Repairs completed and ammunition replenished." Which made Trixie spit out the carrots she was chewing into the fire and look at the robot in confusion.

"Wow, you spoke!"

"Well, finally, welcome back friend!" I said. Then I looked at Trixie and asked her which direction we should go to get to the city.

"Well, we have to go to Canterlot, and it's about a day's journey before it, if there is no trouble on the way. Princess Luna has instructed me to escort you to the castle."

"Princess Luna? I once had the honor to meet her in my dream, back on earth! So she foresaw this meeting or planned it."

"Oh, you already know Luna, but she is not the only princess in our kingdom. There is also Celestia, Cadance and Twilight Sparkle." She uttered the last name with sadness and disgust.

"Hmm, I'm more concerned with other questions now, but we'll get to them. I think we need to get ready for the road, it's better not to stay here. Who knows what surprises this forest by the road can present to us. Oh, I have an idea!" Trixie raised an eyebrow in an amiable manner and motioned her hoof to continue. I looked at the robot and asked him. "Night Fog, can you make a train of three vans and a Trixie carriage to pull that weight?"

"No Sir! I'm not superman, so you have to pull Lady Trixie's wagon yourself. Be a gentleman after all!"

I looked at my bandaged leg and my gloved hands, then got up and activated my gloves on gravity mode to try to lift the wagon. And Bingo! I managed to do this, after which I looked at the surprised Trixie and rolling my eyes thought to myself that this cute face would show such emotions in relation to me and my friend more than once. But at that moment it started snowing and it reminded me of the approaching New Year. What made me dreamily look at the night sky, in which the moon shone brightly. Yes Luna, we will meet soon I give you my word.

Out of fear, I almost dumped my dinner in my pants when I saw what was in front of us!

"Do you need help?" The creature spoke in a male voice.

And then my gloves gave the signal for combat mode!
