* ShingA blade sounded as it whizzes by, embedding itself into a chimney. You were currently being pursued by the two masked entities and it seemed they really wanted you dead, or simply had the urge to improve their accuracy by using you.

To you this was nothing. After all, you had to face the likes of 173 and its exact clone one time during a power outage. If something wasn't done about those things something bad would happen sooner or later. You took a sharp turn at a rotunda and made your way towards the forest and your pursuers followed. They had stopped launching projectiles at you which was slightly concerning. You reflect on this as you hurled yourself into a tree, turning mid way to get a better look. They stop shorty of the edge, faces hidden behind cowls watching, then you see it, a snout. These were residents of Acadia. You could have easily revealed their identities with a flick of your finger but decide not to.

* Better let them think they have an advantage. *  You think with a twisted grin.

" Fare thee well! " You shout as the greenery absorbs you.

Suddenly it hits you. Where exactly where you and where were you going?

As these thoughts fill your mind you calm yourself and stick the landing. You look around, trees everywhere. You walk up to one and gently touch it. Using this power might not work but it's what you got for now. You begin to see through the trees. Interlocking roots act as your highway as you move through the forest. Suddenly you see a small cottage nestled between some trees a while from here. Now that's settled you have three ways of traversing through the forest. The first being teleportation, second, flight and third, free running. Looking at your surroundings you decide on the first one. You concentrate on your intended target and the world goes dark for an instant before light returns. You stand a good feet away from the house and obscured by the trees. The cottage seems like one from a fairytale. You scan for inhabitants and find two life signs, albeit one being significantly larger than the other. The larger life sign moves around the house in an unpredictable manner. The smaller one remains at one place. Suddenly the larger one stops in its tracks and looks, directly at you. You're slightly taken aback by this but that wouldn't be the end of it. It makes a beeline straight for you.

* It's 096 all over again. * You think as it gets closer.

The cottage door bursts open and out steps one of its inhabitants. A mare...with wings? She had a caramel colored fur with bright pink hair. Her eyes were blood red but the most interesting thing about her was the pink tattoo on her belly. It looked like a love tattoo with the edges swirling outward and inward at certain intervals. Oh and she's naked. People around here really like being naked for some reason.

" Oh come now, there's no need to be shy. " She says in a sultry voice as she walks towards you. You step out of your " hiding" spot and into the moonlight.

The mare seems surprised but quickly regains her composure. She circles around you, eyes moving from head to toe. It reminds you of 682 when she's under the influence of B.o.G, a very powerful concoction that makes her drunk and slightly unhinged.

" You're certainly a sight to behold. " She says.

You merely shrug, not allowing her to get close.

" You're not the talker I take it. No matter. I don't need you to speak anyway! " She lunges at you but you merely teleport onto the roof. The wings on her back extend and with a powerful flap sends her off the ground. She impressively twists her body and heads straight for you at breakneck speeds. You teleport again but she's already heading for you in your new location. You let her get close and turn intangible and watch her crash into a tree, destroying it. This strange game of tag would go on for hours until sunrise. She suddenly stops and passes out, clearly fatigued by all this. Her wings change from its original form to a more softer version. The first being that of bats and the second being that of a bird. Her tail grows longer and more fluffier. It's as though she's returning to " base " form. You look around, the destruction she caused was unbelievable, and to think she would have done probably worse had she caught you. You look down at her and then at the cottage. Against your better judgement you carry her bridal style and walk towards it.

" You've been awfully quiet. " You say out loud.

On que a figure steps out from the bushes, a large feminine humanoid lizard wearing a hoodie with an undershirt and pants.

" Should I ask? " You question as you walk.

" Better for both of us if you don't boy. " The lizard says as she steps in line next to you.

" And should I ask about her? " She gestures to the mare in your arms.

" No. " Was all you said.
