Names and theories.

*Poof* I my eyes swung open as I awoke. It was something that rarely happened in which I would be dreaming a I would heard a familiar sound around me. It was the best way to wake up because my brain was more or less already awake letting me start a day quickly.

"Yaaaay.... A new day to wreak havoc across the world!" I said before getting up and stretching. Aside from my back and legs being a bit soar, I felt great. I almost bumped my head against the hut door as I crawled out. It seemed to be early morning and the I could see some faint sunlight poking through the trees. "How should I start this hopefully wonderful day?" I asked myself.

I checked my list of things to do. "Welp, looks like its time to go take a look at how the fishies are doing." I said happily. Who knew that you could feel so stress free after waking up in a small hut, without a blanket, bed or floor. I walked up to the shiny river and took a look inside. It was hard to see much inside the water so I sat down and waited for the sun to rise. "Maybe this time my eyes won't have to bleed at the miraculous sight of the sun. Then again, I could just try not to stare directly at it when looking up...."

I waited for a while as the sun continued to rise.  Once it was bright enough to see into the waters without problem, I took a look. Not a fish to be seen and the crabs were back. "I'm guessing the when the fish leave then the crabs come out to eat and do other things." I theorized. I jogged back to the camp site and writ down the time.  

Next on the list was some more practice with my powers and some general muscle/stamina training. I wasn't the fittest person on earth and even though I had gotten stronger my stamina was very bad. For most of my life I had issues with asthma and most of the energy that I could get out would be in quick powerful bursts. This plus the fact I don't pay any attention in a fight meant the I would get exhausted very fast and if the instance of a chain attack of dragons came, I would only be able to fight one or two.

I jogged up to the edge of the forest. There was some birds in the fields but other than that I didn't see anything that could cause some problems so I made my way out of the forest. "Oh, today feels like its gonna be a good day." I walked out into the field and did some basic stretches before another few rounds of jogging from camp to field. It was a nice way to warm up and I soon found myself ready for my own kind of stamina training.

I started throwing punches into the air. Kicking was not something I did any mainly used my legs for keeping balance or push more power and speed into my punches. It tired me out pretty quickly but I urged myself to keep on going. If I could keep up an endless flow of assault, I would fair far better in combat.

I did some thinking whilst I threw my punches. "How in the world am I going to kill a dragon with my hands?" I thought. I may have been able to throw a few punches at the Horgr but that was not my true fighting style. What I tended to do is act like a tank in most videogames. I would move in as close as I could to an opponent, absorbing there assault as I went along and once close enough, I could grab my opponent of force them into submission with tactical stances and sheer overpowering strength.  

Now this may work on most humans but one I never needed to hurt someone in the process, just force them into a submission and two, I would not be fighting humans, I would be fighting dragons. To make things worse, I'm actually a very bad at punching. My strength came solely from a good fighting instinct and the ability to overpower my opponent quickly.

If learned how to use my ice dome correctly I could do step one of my general fighting style but I would need to learn to use it far faster and focused, preferably whilst on the move. Yet another problem was that I didn't have any offensive uses from my power, at least nothing I momentarily knew but that is something I would need to learn later.

I swapped from punching to so more power practice. I was tired but it seems I need nothing aside from focus to use it. I did the basic *freeze everything around me* thing just so I could practice it. Even though it was easy, there is always room for improvement and I noticed this as I tried to freeze the area faster and further.

"You what, I'm going to calls this *Frozen aura*." I said. It was a name that just popped up into my head and I found it quite fitting. I practiced it a little more and notice a pattern. Now it case you didn't know the whole pulse thing worked at different notes and it seemed that I could increase the distance and speed in which I froze the area around me based on the speed and note, I pulsed at.

I started practicing, this time focusing on the way I pulsed and slowly began to understand the effects of different pulses. It was awesome just how many different ways I could use the frozen aura. If I sped up the pulsing, the range of the aura would increase drastically. If I lightened the pulses the icy effect would decrease but once I push the pulsing deeper I immediately noticed the difference and the area really started freezing around me.

For a very brief moment around me the air itself started to freeze. "This is amazing!" I shouted, breaking my focus and quickly making the area around me thaw. It was rather odd though being the first time the ice didn't stay there for a couple hours. After about a half a minute the area around me had completely thawed leaving a large puddle of water around me.

"Well that's... odd." I said confused. My strange powers were definitely not something I knew a lot about and I was probably going to need to spend a lot more time practicing it. I didn't spend to much time thinking about it. I couldn't think straight anymore. My head was spinning and I felt a little sick. "Wow, this feels weird." Doing the sane thing, I stumbled over to the edge of the forest and sat down.

"Man this feels bad." I said whilst putting my hands on my stomach. "Now I could be wrong, but I think that might have been to much for me to handle. If only I had gotten some kind of warning before doing that." I decided the best thing to do right now was complain and wait for the sick feeling to go away.

To my wonderful luck the sick feeling went away with great speed and I was up on my feet in no time. I walked back into the field. It seemed like my general routine consisted of walking in and out of the forest. "Okay, lets try to keep myself from doing anything that could later be considered stupid." I began pulsing again, this time making sure not put some focus on my bodies reaction to the different uses or energy.

Nothing really seemed to change though, I repeated almost everything aside from the *Freeze the air around me* part without the sick feeling or the area thawing straight afterwards. One thing was poking my in the side like a annoying little questionary thorn that can only be removed with a reasonable answer. "If something gets cold due to the loss or absence of energy, why did it take energy to carry out?" I asked myself.

I put my thinking cap on and began the endless process of trying to figure it all out. "Now I guess that it could somehow be possible that I am using my own mental energy plus the odd magic energy that I saw Twilight use." Haha, I had remembered the name! "By doing to I could pull away any natural energy away from the air and things I came in contact with which made them freeze. This would explain why I was able to freeze solid rock, or at least It kinda explain it."

"That only leaves the question, where is the natural energy during this time. It can't just disappear. Maybe I temporarily absorb the energy into my body." I guess it sounds strange but it would help continue to explain it. "I guess that sick feeling I got was a discharge of that energy. I mean I did start freeze the air around me, I don't even know if that is naturally possible but its damn cool."

"Oh well, there is now two scenarios I could think of that would either make me feel good or make me worry. One, once the energy has been stored in my body, it will slowly dissipate into the surrounding area's. This means that if I were to absorb to much I would have another dramatic discharge but it would also mean that with some control, I could keep myself from having any discharges at all."

"Two, I am working the same way a light would, I slowly store up enough energy that once it reaches a certain point, I will basically turn on and all that energy will be used up in a flash." This was the worse of the two scenarios but it once more helped further explain my situation.

"Enough theorizing for now, there is much to discover and an unknown amount of time to do so." I Said, going back to practicing. It didn't last very long though beginning that I could now see something flying with great speeds in the sky. "Well crap." I said whilst rushing into the forest. I hid myself in a tree and watched as the object came closer and closer.

With a better look, I noticed it to be Rainbow, she slowed down after noticing the icy patches covering the field. "Maaaaaybe I didn't think this through enough...." I thought as Rainbow landed. I could hear her saying something but it wasn't very clear. Now I either needed to plan a quick escape or sit it out and hope Rainbow doesn't walk into the forest and find my campsite, or me for that matter.

Rainbow wandered around the edge of the forest for a moment, peaking in every now and then. To my luck, she didn't even look in my general direction. What was an issue is that she seemed more and more urged to go into the forest. At first I didn't understand why she didn't just go in but it became clear once she walked past the tree I was in.

"...... I don't want to get attacked by a dragon or som......." I heard as she walked past. Its hard to understand a sentence when you don't get to hear the beginning or end but this sentence was understandable enough. "Of course, she probably remembers the what happened in the Everfree forest and has associated the icy patches with a Horgr." I Thought to myself. It had its upsides but also some downsides. Even if Rainbow didn't come into the forest, the probability that a more military type group would come along in search of the possible threat. I didn't know what to do in that case.

Rainbow did the sensible thing and started flying away. This was great news for me but all it really meant was that I needed to move camp. I went back to the camp and destroyed the hut. It was mentally painful to do. "I'm sorry my happy little hut but your time is up and people will go looking for you." I said sadly. I spread out the remains of my hut equally to make it look more natural and grabbed my bags. I destroyed the campfire holder and took a look around to plot my next move.

"I could follow the river more inwards. That sounds like the easiest way to not get lost." I said. It seemed the most logical thing to do. I picked up two of my makeshift spears and started moving. The forest looked beautiful and the way the sunlight shined through the branches and leaves make it look even better.

The mood of the forest changed as I went deeper. It changed from a energetic, light feel, too a relaxing, peaceful feeling. "This is the perfect time to do some deep thinking." I said as I wondered along. "These last couple of days have been crazy, talking ponies, dragons, cuteness beyond belief, the list goes on and on. I like it, its a nice change to my average *wake up get on computer* and *get out of school, get on computer* way of life."

"Hell, I have gotta more movement and useful thinking done here than I have during the last 5 months of my life." Even though I had some drastic responsibilities add into my life, the trip had been great fun and I now was going to have tons of stories to tell if I ever am able to get back home. Even if I had the choice to, I wouldn't know whether or not to stay here or go back.

"The only thing I can really consider bad so far was the recent kick to the face but I have had worse than that. Like a tooth infection." I stopped for a moment and rubbed my jaw. "Damn those hurt a lot." I remembered the fact I hadn't brushed my teeth in the longest time which did spark some worries.

As I walked, the air became colder and the water started streaming faster. There were far more large boulders and rocks laying around everywhere. Some of them looked as if they had only just been moved there. "Maybe I should make a list of the weird things that happen to me. Nevermind, I should right a book on it. I might even been able to make money of it."

"Speaking of money, do these ponies have a currency? I haven't seen any but I doubt they just get everything for free. I wonder what it would be called. Come to think of it, the ponies sure do have some odd yet fitting names. We have Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle. Wait how do I even know her full name? Is that even her full name? Well anyways the names seem fit the ponies personalities strangely well. Aside from Lyra, which doesn't make much sense at all."

I gave the name thing a moment of thought before remembering something. "Didn't Lyra say that names held some power over the thing there given to? I guess that would explain a lot about the ponies and it might even explain some stuff about me to.

If you were to take this *Rule* into account, you could use it to explain my changes far more easily. I have increased strength and battle instincts. That could have to do with the fact my first name is Gunnar which means warrior and war. Makes me wonder what the definition of warrior. Yeah, I have these weird mind jumps sometimes.

Anyways, I simply assume Berge means mountain, which could explain the resist to the cold and maybe even the icy power, if you think of it like that. Now only left the name Anthony, which was the name of some saint. I also read somewhere that it meant flower in ancient greek. "I am Gunnar Anthony Berge, the pretty warrior flower of the mountains!" I joked. Sounds more like the name you would give a Norse women but what the hell, if it made me look better, then so be it.

The fact that Anthony was the name of a saint might also explain the fact I had powers to begin with, being that there are apparently of a higher power and all, I never really believed and of the *God* stuff. Once again I was left with a more philosophical question.

"If the meaning of the name holds power, then technically everything conscious enough to name something can strange that meaning, or at least the true meaning of there own name. So that means If I truly believe that my own name were to mean something new, I could change my very being. Not that I would want to believe it meant something else, my name is awesome."

"Speaking of names, I still need to name my power. Its gotta to be something fitting but what would be a good name for my icy power." I stood still for a moment and thought. "Blizzard? nah, I'm not a pokemon, at least I think I'm not. Coldfront? Nope, that would be a better name for one of the ways to use my power. If I ever find something to use the name for."

I spent quite a while thinking of names but nothing good seemed to pop up. Out of no where I heard a voice in my head. "Duuuuuuuuuuddddddeeee, you should name it Frostbite, that would be coooooooooollll... get it, cool, like your power?" The voice inside my head said. "All bad puns aside, that does indeed sound like a good name, mister voice in my head. Though I would suggest you work on your jokes some more." I replied. "Thaaaaaaankkkkssss duuuuude." The voice in my head said slowly fading away.

"Welcome to my mind, probability of insanity is rather high. Welp, Frostbite, that is what my power shall now forth be called. I hope the voice didn't copyright the name before I used it in some kind of attempt to sue my mind for more memory space. I need the last part of my small memory to store lyrics to funny songs in."

I returned to walking, happy as ever. I now had a name for my power and could start naming an re-naming the ability branches of it. "If I'm going to be stuck in some odd world, then I'm going to turn the whole thing into a video-game in my head." I already had a name for the odd ability to freeze everything around me. That being the Frozen aura.

Next I needed to name the ability to freeze thing in an instance with my hands. "Well this one is obvious, Flash freeze. No argument there. Now what about the whole icy dome thing, I sure there is a better name for that than *icy done thing*. You know what lets mix things up. Blast shield, that's what is going to be named!" I now had named all the powers I had available. All I had to do is learn more and I would be able to write down enough to call it a class sheet.

"Come to think of it, why don't I give myself or rather what I am a name. Once again this will be easy, I am a Glacier, bringer of the northern winds and the coming winter!" I shouted proudly. "Damn I love thinking about these kinds of things. Wait... didn't that Horgr leader say something about the northern winds or am I going crazy? I'm already crazy so he probably said something about it. Hope he won't be mad about it.

I took a break from, well, thinking and continued walking is a peaceful silence. Everything seemed to be going fine until I bumped up against a rode. it had a bridge going over the river but if a pony just happened to be using the road as I cross, then so much work and walking would have been for nothing. I quickly rushed up to the bridge and peaked over it checking both sides of the road.

I noticed two somethings in the distance. My curiosity got the better of me and I slowly walked up closer, using the treeline as cover. What I saw stunned me, there on the side of the road was a little pony being harassed by two larger, less pony like ponies. The two bigger ponies were male and the small one I hoped was a girl. Having watched to much anime, I always made sure to be careful about the kind of stuff.

I got closer to listen to what they were saying. "For the last time, give us everything you've got or else we will take it by force." One of the male ponies said. "But I don't have anything to give you!" The small pony said. "Don't lie! We know know you have the emerald! With that thing, we can become rich!" The other male pony yelled.

Now there was one of three things I could do. 1. Ignore the fact this pony was being robbed and continue on my way. 2. sneakily help the little pony via and try to distract the big ponies before beating the to a pulp or 3. Blow my cover and simply walk up tot he ponies, wasting a lot of my energy and time trying to do what I do worst, help others.

"Well, I always needed to improve my social skills. Number 3 it is!!" I said before caring out plan C. To be honest, I'm pretty sure I'm an idiot but with no one there to stop my stupidity I was going to at least enjoy myself in the process. I walked onto the road and snuck up behind the big ponies. The little pony saw me and was about to scream. I put my finger to my mouth in a *Sush* gesture. The big ponies were still yelling at the little pony by the time I was right behind them.

I did a extremely minor version of flashfreeze and touched the big ponies on there flanks. By the way, did you know that just like with heat, if you touch something extremely cold, it will feel like you burnt yourself? Well now imagine you just burned your ass. That was the feeling going through the big ponies hindquarters and I touched them. They both bolt a few meters away, screaming in a comical pain before turning around to see what happened.

"Dude, what the buck is that thing?" Pony number one asked. I gave them a cheerful smile and was almost laughing from there reaction. "I don't know but its making me mad!" Pony number hjug, I mean 2 said. It charged me trying to run me over. I whacked him in the head making him faceplant into the ground. "Why do all the ponies faceplant when I touch them in the head?" I joked in my head.

Pony number 2 groaned and rolled around on the ground for a moment before getting back up. He stumbled around dizzily before falling back down. Pony number one rushed in between me and pony number 2. It was trembling with fear but stood it ground.

I turned my head and looked at the little pony which was now behind me. She was little brown pony, about the size of Twilight and had a hammer with lighting shooting out of it as a tattoo on her flank. Her mane and tail were both blond and she had a fedora on. "Are you a god?" I wondered before turning my attention back to pony one and 2. Pony two was getting up and I prepared for there next move. To my surprise, they bolted in the opposite direction, causing me to laugh uncontrollably.

"LooooooooL" I yelled ending my laughing spree. I turned my attention back to the little god pony and smiled, giving her a random thumbs up. She gave an awkward smile back. "Thank you." The pony said. "Graag gedaan." (Your welcome) I said cheerfully. The pony stood there for a moment with a confused look before snapping out of her thoughts. She took of her hat and pulled a pie out of it. "Why, hello there WTF moment. Its been awhile." I thought.

The little pony nudged it close to me. "Here, you can have this as a thank you gift." She said. At that moment I felt a new disturbence in the force. Something big was going to happen soon and it involved cake and pie. I bowed, signing a thank you and we both went on our ways. After our final waves goodbye I was once again alone. "I need to got one of those pie dispensing hats!" I said whilst I walked back to the river.

"I say, that went far better than I expected, which makes me once again wonder. Why aren't these ponies the slightest bit afraid of me? From what I've been hearing, I shouldn't even be alive but everything seems to just accept the fact I exist without second thought or doubt. Aside from Rainbow."

Maybe its just because my first impressions give off that I am a good hearted person, which is a complete lie. If I could I would have probably already killed someone if the likely hood of me getting caught was not so high. "Its only a matter of time before I get pissed off by someone. That is, if I ever get back to a human infested earth."

"Well no time to stop anymore, Adventure awaits and I have completely forgotten what I was had to do. Crazy man away!!" I said before jogging into the woods.




[Oh boy, I loved writing this chapter. My crazy is really showing and I prefer to write that way. Not all serious and normal. If its crazy, its bound to be fun to write. Anyways thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed reading. I will have to thank the fact I have had no school based stresses lately so I will try to keep the chapters like this for as long as my good mood maintains. Aside from this I don't know what to say, I guess I add that I have been to lazy to filter may latest chapters and that I really need to get on to that but I have been to impatient to do so. I don't really like rereading or seeing things especially if I wrote. Finally, incase you hadn't realized, I have not idea where this story is headed so be prepared for more random to come :D]






Next Chapter: Minor visit. Estimated time remaining: 2 Hours, 32 Minutes
