Just a Normal Day
Chapter 5: Well Shit
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAl right before you all start saying I acted like a little bitch or something along those lines, I didn't. I acted in the most manly way possible; I shrieked and ran. Yep, totally manly. Anyway, I ran for maybe 10 metres before I realized, it's dark as hell and there are tons of trees around. Needless to say, I ran into a tree rather hard and may or may not have knocked myself out.
I woke up to a rather bright light shining in my eyes. For fear of being blinded and/or seeing the thing I tried so hard to run away from I kept my eyes clamped shut. This was all in vane as my eyes were forced open. The light then subsided and I found myself staring into the darkness of the forest once again.
"Ah it worked," said the voice from before. "We thought you have been more resilient to Our magic."
Magic? What the hell is this thing talking about?
As if it read my mind the thing spoke again, (Still couldn't see it) "Yes, magic. Also I'm an Alicorn not a thing."
It was then that this "alicorn" decided to show itself from directly in front of me a tall dark blue thing walked out of the trees. It looked pretty similar to the ones that I had previously met. If I had to guess I would say it, no she, was about 7 feet tall; give or take a few inches. Like I said previously she was covered in dark blue fur but also sported a fairly large pair of wings and a horn. I could tell you what she was wearing but it's kinda unimportant. I was still in shock about her appearance that I didn't notice her start a fire.
I opened my mouth to say something but got no chance as I was suddenly trapping in a bone crushing hug. This "alicorn" currently had her arms wrapped around my chest and was crying into my shoulder. I would have complained but I couldn't get any air to breath so all that came out were gasps.
Just as suddenly as it happened I found myself able to breath again and the woman was sitting across the fire from me. Oh did I mention that I didn't notice the fire? Cause it scared the shit outta me when I saw it.
"Tyler," the alicorn began, her voice broken. "We, I must apologize. It is my fault you are here and my fault I have no way to send you back." I was about to ask what she meant when I was cut off by the beginning of a rant. "I'm sure you realized by now that this isn't Earth" And she broke me, "I cannot express how sorry I am that this event has unfolded but you need to listen to me very careful if you want to survive."
"Whoa whoa whoa," I said. "I'm sorry but did you say this isn't Earth?"
She sighed as if she expected this questions. "Yes We, ugh we me I, did," she cursed under her breath "You must forgive me, I'm still learning how to speak like a normal citizen, I'm afraid not having been around for 1000 years has made this quite difficult. But yes this isn't Earth, or at least not your Earth."
All fragments of my mind that I had collected I lost. So I really was on another world, but apparently she didn't know how to get me back! I looked her straight in the eyes, my gaze was hollow, one of a broken man. Her eyes, still filled with remnants of tears, were filled with sorrow and regret. "You're kidding right?" I asked in a whisper. "You're fucking kidding right?"
She looked away, "I'm sorry but I'm not. I would not joke about such a serious thing. We've spent the last 2 weeks trying to figure out how to break this to you delicately. We guess it didn't work as well as We planned."
That was the final straw. The finally block fell down and the flood gates opened. I fell onto my back and wept. The thing that had caused this mad no effort to move she just looked at me with those huge eyes. It may have been only a few minutes but it felt like and eternity later the tears stopped. I sat up and wiped the last of the liquid off my face. She looked away from me and only 2 words came out of my mouth. "What now?"
She must have been fighting with herself but she did manage to look at me."I can send your conscious back one full day, so to a few hours before you woke up from the coma, or we can go into Ponyville, find Twilight Sparkle and the other elements and explain the situation."
"3 things," is my reply. "The first, why only a day? The second, how long was I in a coma, and how long have a been here?"
"I can only do 1 day because it is a small enough amount of magic that it won't cause the universe to tear apart, and only me and my sister will be able to feel the ripple in time. To answer your other questions, you were in a coma for 2 and a half weeks. and here for just over 3."
How the fuck was I hear for 3 weeks but only in a coma for 2 and a half? The last thing I remember is being in excruciating pain. I can't think about it now though, I have to much on my mind already. I can only thing of one thing to say. "Well, shit" and then darkness.
