The soul of Determination. MLP

The soul, The puppet, and The doll

I'm gonna give a warning, there will be some possession of another living person for a lot of this chapter. If you don't feel comfortable, you can just skip this chapter. Also also all the art used for the characters ain't mine, and I did the best I could in finding ones that work for the story. If you know any better ones that work for this story, tell me. With that said and done, let us begin.

We watch the sun rise on a lovely day, the camera moves away from the sunrise and turns, showing us an upper-class city. We move past a sign saying Canterlot, likely the name of this city. The camera keeps going and begins to move up to the roof of a building, and we see what seems to be a red ghost. It is a human-like figure with two sets of wings on its back. It has a pretty normal look for a human, but there are no real details in its form besides a hole in their chest in the shape of a heart. They seem to be sleeping on the roof, slowly waking up thanks to the sun.

The red ghost yawns before speaking, "Gooood morning me!" They get up and stretch out their wings; it seems to be more of a habit than a need, though. Once they open their eyes, we can see that their pupils are replaced with yellow stars.

They fly up a good bit before stopping as a roof of a dome forms above them. They poke at it for a bit, unable to get past it despite their ghostly appearance.

They put their hands on their hips and roll their eyes while leaning back in the air. "Welp, I'm still trapped." The ghost seems to take a look around, taking note of the people walking the streets below. "And there are far too many people around for me to risk breaking out with my Determination..." They move away from the barrier and just stare for a while before suddenly blurting out. "Welp, time to do a reality check for myself!"

The soul flies back down and stands on the roof before they start their little 'reality check'. "Alright me let's get started! I am y/n, I am a soul without a body. I am a great person..." They hesitated the second the words left their mouth, freezing slightly as if unsure.

They put their hand out in the air, and a black box opens up showing a stat box. Their HP is 28, their defense is ???, and they have nothing in their inventory. Their hand flinches at the sight of their LV at 3, and the EXP glitched out, showing flashing white boxes. There is a slot called 'item', and it seems to have a red X covering it. y/n says nothing for a while, just staring at the stats. "... I'm a good person... anyway! Let's not think about that! Back to the reality check." They make the black box disappear and put on a happy smile as they go back to the reality check.

"I can possess people, but I normally only ever possess people who need my help or are forced into it." They begin to float like they were leaning back in a chair while they hold out their hand and count on their fingers. "I've helped the child Frisk escape the underground and gain a family, I've helped the hero known as Link save his home, and I helped Ness and his friends save his world as well... And I was forced into Kris for a long while, but I managed to help them out enough..." They stare at the finger that represents Kris for a bit before shaking it off. "Anyway, I'm here now thanks to a strange gray door I walked through. While I'd normally just find someone who needs my help, I'm kinda trapped in this magic bubble and can't break free without hurting people."

They go through the roof and fly into a room below them. There, we see a magical orb glowing with power, on a stand in the center of the room. "Thanks to this thing, I'm trapped. I don't think the owners did this on purpose, based on the fact that I think this thing is treated like a decoration rather than something important." They rub the orb lightly, watching it gain a static effect as it reacts to their every touch. "But still, it seems to be the thing keeping me trapped here." 

They push off the orb and fly through the building and head to a balcony, and start leaning on a railing. "Now I'm sure you're wondering. Why don't we just possess someone at night and try to escape? There's a reason we don't know what these people really are." y/n gestures to the people below. "They may look human, but they aren't; they are some kind a magic monster pony thing. I don't know why they call themselves ponies, but then again, why not?" They shrug as they smile down at the people below. "Anyway, the point is I don't know if they're made of magic or not, and in case you forget, creatures made out of magic tend to melt if they are... how to say... infected- contamination no... Exposed to too much Determination, yeah, let's say infected. I really don't wanna kill anyone, so yeah, can't risk possessing one of the more magical ones. Now, why don't we just possess a normal 'pony' instead of the unicorn or pegasus type? Simple answer really... One doesn't live here, nor in any of the houses I can reach, and even if they did, I can't just take one and leave this place. I need someone no one will miss and can just leave."
