As you slowly connect the plug on the virtual reality helmet to the usb door of your old notebook, the concept of failure comes to mind.
What went wrong? When did you stop caring about reality?
And then, your everlasting defense filled your mind, just as dust filled your nostrils.
It's just what others perceive as reality! Mine, mine is different! And that's not bad!
And today, you'll be able to touch that reality you so long called for.

Thank you very much for your understanding!

As these words echo in your mind, a blinding light grabs you.
And then smell of hay, hammering of steel and heat of fire surround you.
As you slowly open your eyes, you find yourselves inside a wooden building, and a cobblestone ramp leads upstairs.

Silent and quick, your wings carry you on top of the stairway, where an hallway opens in front of you.
On the walls, weapons and shields of all crafts are stocked up in racks, and a huge furnace, shaped as three pony faces and tall as two diamond dogs stacked one atop the other, is breathing fire in a large, circular chamber.
>>209023
The rough stone emits a dry sound as your horseshoes climb it. Slowly, you make your way on top of the ramp, only to see shadows turning towards your position, as if agitated.
>>209025

The four jump at you, their eyes glowing a soft cyan color, as if made of ice.
Better this way, it means they can't see you blindside them.
With a fast motion you sweep on the left side of the one leading the charge and swiftly hit him on the left side with a double applebuck. He's not yet done for, but is getting there.
>>209042
The pony facing you doesn't mind them, as he chews on your hoof.
Helpless, and in the mouth of the enemy.
1 wound every turn.
>>209044
Don't get sidetracked while attacking, pretty face.
The pony going for you has had all the time to dodge your whide swipe, and effectively counterattacks, bucking you near your left wing with his forehooves.
>>209045
Nobody expects the fishnet stocings.
Even with all your clumsness, you are still able to land a perfect hit that catches one of the ponies right above his windpipe, effectively making him speechless at your performance.

Well having your other hoof free sure makes things better.
You hit the monster right on his head, and he lets go of the hoof.
>>209063
He sees right through you.
With another well-timed duck of his head he lets your blade swing whide and pushes you against one of the weapon racks on the side of the hallway.
Save for a few bruises, you don't look too bad..
>>209064

Spreading your wings and trying a liftoff amidst all the splinters of wood and steel that have fallen on you is no easy task, and the built buck just looks at you.
Why is he not charging?
Oh right, you were under a weapon rack.
Its content comes crashing down on you, buring you alive.
Helpless, but alive.
>>209081
A blade to wield, a pony to stab, a shadow to hide in, no armor to protect him…
What could you ever want more?
And with masterful precision you cut the flesh open, exposing a large, gaping wound in the back of the Pony's neck. He then turns around and looks at you, his eyes still as cold as before, but his expression one of rage.
>>209076
As you try to narrate the most epic tale you know, following the deeds of a certain Nylis the Demon-Hunter, your tounge stumbles on the details of her heroic ball-diving adventure back in fillyhood, and losing track of reality you mss the pony lunging at your neck.
Bad move.
