Chapter 1 Who Am I?

With another boring day of school over, I got off my bus into the cold heavy rain and ran home. I unlocked the door and walked into the empty house; both my parents wouldn’t be home till five so I had some time to myself. I hung my raincoat to dry and I went to my room at the end of the hall. My room was a mess and it always stayed that way. I cleared off my desk and fired up my computer; sure it was old but I could type on it so I never complained. While it whirred and beeped to life I pulled out my sketchbook and flipped through a few scratched out and unfinished drawings until I came to my OC. Like any brony my dream was to be the stallion I had drawn, with light brown fur and a bright orange mane. I smiled until I saw the flank and frowned, still no cutie mark; I could never figure that out. All of a sudden then was a huge lightning strike next to my window.

I jumped and sighed, “If only,” I looked at my clock, it read 2:30 and I realized I had to get to work, “Right I have a fanfic to write.”

I opened Word and typed,

Chapter 1 Who Am I?

I sighed, “Well it’s a start, and now all I need is a story.”

There was another lightning strike and the power went out.

“O c’mon I just got started.” I yelled at the storm.

Just then my computer screen lit up and it said, your destiny awaits you, I tried to move but I couldn’t. I looked over at my OC then everything went white.

…

When I woke up I was looking at a cloudless orange sky. I tried to get up but I fell flat on my back again. I sat up and rubbed the back of my head with my hoof…My hoof?! Questions ran through my head. Where am I? Who am I?

I stared at my hoof, “What am I?”

I turned to see a purple…thing running towards me on four legs. It came up to me; it had light purple fur, a dark purple mane and a horn. A unicorn?

“Are you okay?” She asked

I rubbed my head again, “I guess,” I stood up, this time on four legs.

“Thank Celestia, that’s a relief, I’m Twilight Sparkle by the way, what’s your name?”

My name, I thought for a moment and said, “I don’t know,” I looked around area and then back at my hoof, “To tell the truth I don’t even know what I am.”

Twilight walked in a circle around and said, “From the looks of it you’re an earth pony stallion of about 16 years of age. But where’s your cutie mark?”

I looked at her confused, “My what?”

She pointed to her flank which had a pink six sided star with sparkles around it.

“Everypony gets one when they find their special talent.” She said

“I guess I never earned mine,” I sighed, “Where am I anyway?”

“Oh, you’re in Equestria or to be more specific Ponyville.” She looked over at the sunset, “It’s getting late, and if you want you can stay at my house for the time being.”

“I’ve got nowhere else to go.”

“Great, follow me,” She said and started walking. I looked down at my hooves and tried walking behind Twilight. After a few tries I got my rhythm and continued to follow Twilight.

…

We got to Twilights house which was really a house built inside a tree. We walked in and there was purple and green dragon organizing books…there were books on every wall.

“Hey Twilight what took so long?” He looked at me, “Who is that?”

“He doesn’t know who he is and he doesn’t even have a cutie mark. He staying with us for a while, could you go make him a bed?”

“Sure thing Twilight,” He said and ran upstairs

I walked up to Twilight, “Who was that?”

“Hmm…oh that was my assistant Spike?”

I looked around, “So you live in a library?”

“Yep I’ve got every book you could think of.”

I yawned, “Where am I sleeping?”

“It’s the bed next to mine, c’mon I’ll show you.”

Twilight and Spike fell asleep and I just laid in my bed thinking. So I’m a stallion in a world of talking ponies, pegasi and unicorns, and now I’m staying with Twilight. But who am I? How did I get here? My eyelids felt heavy and I went to sleep.

…

I didn’t know it was possible to get tired from a dream. All around me was black and the only thing I could see was a small piece of paper a few feet in front of me. I walked up to it but when I was about to grab it, it just flew farther away. I tried running after it but that didn’t work with me still getting used to the whole four legged thing. I even tried sneaking up on it but it still flew further. It was hard to tell exactly how long I had been chasing the paper, but the more I chased it the farther away it was from

me. After more chasing and stumbling, I was finally too tired to keep going and I sat down.

I looked at the paper in the distance, panting I looked down and closed my eyes, “Please, I’m lost, I want to know.” I looked up but the paper was still too far away. “Please, I need something to tell me who I am.” I felt a tear go down my face and I said, “I’m scared.” The tear hit the ground and I heard a small tap, I opened my eyes to see that the paper was right in front of me! I carefully grabbed and unfolded it in the fear that it would blow away again.

I read the paper out loud, “Your name is Brilliant Blaze.”

Suddenly all the black was lit up by a gleaming sun above.

I wiped the tears in my eyes, “Thank you.”

I heard a stallion’s voice, “Stop crying and smile, it’s unbefitting.”

“Thank you.” I said again now smiling.
