Tales of a Broken Sky

Writers ears pricked as she picked up a sense other than blood. She thought for a moment, trying to distinguish what it was. "Mmmm... Pony.." She murmured lightly, "Male, and a wolf." She growled at the last word. The thought of a wolf and a pony working together sickened her. She didnt want to believe and at last she stopped basking in the sun and stood up. Her nose inhaled the scents once more before she scampered off in the direction of the pony and wolf.

 

As Omega walked away, it lit the body to flames. It couldn't help but smirk at the smell of burnt flesh as it brought old days back to present.
Omega was a clone, none the less, he was one of the most dangerous individuals in the world. As the past came to him, he shook it off, walking through the woods.

 

"Well, you didn't choose a low-key location. Did it have to be a restaurant? Five stars, none-the-less?"

"I was hungry and i get to eat free in this one. Do you have a problem with that?"

The pink mare with her blond mane sat across from him on the round, deep red table. He didn't pay much attention to his clients, he mostly just listened to their voice and never looked at their face. It gave a sense that this was just a matter of business. "I presume the deed has been done, as we agreed?" Karl nodded and for once, raised his head to look straight into the others eyes, just to let her blink into the mind of someone who had just murdered. "I did what i was told and the traces have been taken care off. I'm pretty sure nobody will even be able to recognize him, too many pieces of an incomplete puzzle." He could see that she was nervous, it was plastered all over her face. She was right to be so. He was slid a letter, his payment.

"I just wonder one thing. Karl slid his eyes up again. "Are you him? The crimson hybrid smiled and nodded his head down.

"I can see why you'd think that. I have the same face, the same features, don't I? I'd love to confirm your claims, but if i was really the Forgotten, then i'd be much older, wouldn't I?" He finished up his meal, thanked his client for the audience, stood up and headed out of the restaurant, picking up his coat and mask, before vanishing into the dark alleys, away from knowing eyes.

 

Helping Hooves Heard Paw Steps Approaching And Thought It Was The Laughing Thing "It's Probably Some Humanoid Hyena, Celestia Help Me" Thought Helping Hooves Shaking In His Skin And Then He Thought Some More "The Potions In My Bag Could Create A Pretty Fireworks Show To Distract The Brute Then I Could Slip Away" He Pulled Four Potions Out Of His Medical Satchel With His Magic And Checked What They Were On The Label Of The Purple Potion That Helping Hooves Concocted Himself It Read "For Jerry's Problems" He Knew What The Problems Were But Didn't Want To Think About Them, The Red One Read "Unicorn Blood Extracted From The Area Around The Horn Contains Small Amounts Of Magic" That Was A Long One, On The Green It Simply Read "Heals All Ailments" And On The Blue One It Read "For Unicorns" He Wouldn't Mind Losing These Potions He Could Always Make Some More At Home.

While Helping Hooves Was Thinking About All This He Didn't The Paw Steps Getting Nearer And He Really Didn't Notice The Furry Creature Looking At Him And When He Did He Got Such A Shock That He Dropped All The Potions Onto The Forest Floor Causing A Loud Bang And A Lot Of Smoke. Helping Hooves Was Blinded And Disoriented When This Happened And All He Could Really Do Was Sit There And Cough From The Smoke Around Him.

 

Writer chuckled and shook her head disappointed. "Pathetic pony. Has he ever seen a feral dog before?" She jumped on the tree trunk clawing her way to a branch slowly. She glared down at him from the branch.

 

After The Smoke Cleared Helping Hooves Looked Around For The Creature He Had Seen Before But It Seemed To Have Vanished "Hello, Are You Still Here?" Helping Hooves Knew The Creature Wasn't Hostile Because He Would've Been Dead Already If It Was

 

Writer chuckled again, "Haven't you been told to look up and down as well? Life might be a bit easier for you." She was hesitant to jump down so she remained in the tree.

 

"Oh Hello There" Helping Hooves Felt Safe Now "Things Like This Don't Usually Happen To Me And When They Do I Rarely Find Myself Looking Up And Down" Helping Hooves Thought He Should Probably Shut Up And Let The Thing Speak But His Lips Were Already Moving "My Name Is..." Helping Hooves Stopped For A Moment Wondering If He Should Tell This Creature He Knew Nothing About His Name "My Name Is Helping Hooves I'm A Doctor For The Town Nearby And I'm Also An Alchemist" Helping Hooves Didn't Know Why He Was Telling This Thing Everything About Him "And You Are?"

 

"I am just a passerby, wanting to know why you travel with such a dangerous animal?" Writer grins mischievously. "It will only forsake you one day." She looked at her claws unamused, then back at him. "You can never the wild out of an animal you know."

 

"This Wolf Has Been With Me Since Birth And He's Protected Me From Danger With The Help Of My Mother, Isn't That Right Jerry?" Helping Hooves Rubbed The Wolf Between The Ears With His Hoof, Jerry Wagged His Tail And Licked His Masters Hoof. "He's Fierce Too I Don't Go Anywhere Outside Without Him, But Unfortunately He's Been Really Sick Lately But I Brew The Medicine Myself And I Am Pretty Good At My Alchemy And Brewery So Jerry Should Be Back To Himself In No Time" Helping Hooves (Gonna Call Him Helping From Now On) Felt Like He Was Telling The Creature Too Much But He Shrugged It Off And Then Stopped To Let The Creature Speak.

 

"Yet you telling me this could lead to some gruesome things... Especially now that i know you 'guardian' is ill." (Omg so short.)

 

"Oh ****" Thought Helping Hooves As He Processed What The Creature Said "Why Did I Tell Him The Thing Keeping Me Alive Was Sick, No I Can Take Care Of Myself I'm A Skilled Doctor And Alchemist I Could Just Throw A Paralysis Potion At Him And Make A Quick Escape, But If That Fails Than I Have My Bone saw And My Magic To Defend Me" Helping Hooves Heart Was Beating Faster Than It Should And He Started To Get Gruesome Ideas In The Back Of His Mind "But I Pray To Celestia That He's Joking" Helping Hooves Stood There In Silence For A Moment Than Said With As Much Confidence As He Could Muster "And Why Would You Do Anything To Me, A Doctor, Who Has Done Nothing To Provoke You Or Annoy You, I Hope, Maybe I'm Just Wearing My Mane Or Tail In A Way You Don't Like And You Think I Deserve To Die For It But Remember This If You Kill Me You've Killed Half The Population Of The Town Nearby" Helping Hooves Than Stared Intensely At The Creature Waiting For Whatever Is Going To Happen Happen

 

Writer gives a hearty laugh, nearly falling out of the tree. She rebalanced herself and stared down at him, eyes gleaming. "Now now, I never said I would kill you. Besides, prey around has been scarce recently and you and your friend seems like a somewhat ideal meal. She gracefully jumps from the branch, landing on her feet. "And the other ponies? Creatures of the forest will gladly scavenge for the meat."

 

As he continued his path, a song went off in his pocket. Omega pulled out a cell phone and pressed a button, putting up to his ear, "Yeah."
On the other side, there was a dark deep voice, "Did you kill the bandits?"
"Targets have been eliminated."
"Good, we will have your reward once you have returned, see you then." And like that, the other line hung up.
Putting his phone away, Omega looked to the sky, wandering if theres something more than any of this life he had now.

 

"Most Of The Creatures In This Forest Would Sooner Trip Over Their Own Necks Before Counting To Three So I Think I'll Be Fine It's Just That You Seem Actually Intelligent" Helping Hooves Wasn't Saying This To Flatter The Creature But He Was Speaking Out Of Truth "I Guess I Don't Have To Fear You Now, Just Let It Be Known That I Fear The Genii (Plural Of Genius In Case You Didn't Know) Of This World The One's That Could Talk A Man Or A Pony Into Killing Themselves Without Even Trying"

 

Hearing the crash, Omega turned to the noise. He couldn't help but be curious, of course, curiosity kills the cat. He walked toward the noise, prepared for anything that comes his way.

 

Suprised by the sudden guns pointed at his face Helping Hooves Gave The Man His Answer "My Name Is Helping Hooves and I'm A Pony And A Doctor We're Not Enemies Well I'm Not Anyway I'm Not Sure About Her Though" Helping Said Ponting A Hoof Towards His Furry Aquaintance
