The Human Colonization of Equestria

…

The images flashed into my head without mercy, pity, or remorse.

Each chain of images sending violent shivers down my spine as the images grew more and more grotesque, a red border surrounding them and giving a more erie effect.

I fell down to the ground as I saw images, images of- me, being tortured, forced onto the ship, forced to leave the wasteland of the world and everyone I knew.

One of the last visions, depicted me, strapped down as a white uniformed man stabbed a syringe into my side, then appeared another, of me being dragged to a cryo tube.

More and more frequently the images and visions poured into my mind, sending another violent wave of pain as I finally closed my eyes.

The last thing I saw was a pink rose petal, gently gliding, and landing softly to my left.

…

“But such a job won’t be easy.”

…

I was in the darkness yet again, but something was different right now. I don’t know why, but it just felt, different.

All the images and visions halted as a sigh of relief escaped me, I was still wondering where I was.

I opened my eyes to reveal a large space, an endless vortex of pure white and small pixels of grey sploched around.

I began to get up as my legs wobbled beneath me, I stood straight up as I began to wonder yet again, where I was.

I froze completely when I heard a female voice emit from behind me.

“Oh! Jeddie, you’re a bit early!”

…

“We need help!”

…

I spun around to reveal two creatures standing next to each other.

They each stood on four legs, one of them was pink, with darker pink hair and tail, she had a mark depicting two blue balloons, and a yellow balloon.

The other one was a cyan blue, with rainbow hair and a rainbow colored tail. It had two wings, covering the mark I guessed every one of these things had.

I stared at both of them as I began to go over my options here.

They could speak my language; they literally just spoke to me.

“Wh- who- or what are you?” I began to ask.

“Oh! I almost got carried away there; I just remembered that this is your first time here!” The pink one piped up as she began to jump up and down off of the ground.

First?

“I-I mean, we all are ponies, I’m Pinkie Pie, and this is Rainbow Dash!” She added as she pointed to her rainbow haired friend.

Ponies?

“Okay? Um, where are we?” I asked the pink ‘pony’.

“Oh yeah! Almost forgot!” She paused and then started again “Welcome, welcome to the Mind Realm!”

…

“From you!”

…

“So, what is this, uh, Mind Realm?” I asked Pinkie Pie as we trotted along the empty white landscape.

“It’s a place in our minds that we all have, and apparently, we all share one! We can imagine anything here and have anything!”

“How did I get here anyway?” I asked next.

“Well, you can choose when to come, or automatically come here; you atomatically came because you just received a mind realm! You can also be sent here if there is a really bad problem, but when that happens, the only way to get out is to find the solution to the problem!” She answered.

“So, what do we do here?” I still continued.

“Well, in this part of the mind realm, we can imagine anything! But, when we’re sent here because of a problem, we can’t.”

We kept walking forward as a staircase matirialized beneath us.

“Wha-”

“Remember, we can imagine anything!” She happily said as she cut me off.

“So, uh, what exactly are we? I mean, I see you’re a- normal pony, but what about me?” I asked as the stairs led us higher and higher.

“Oh, well you’re a unicorn, and Rainbow Dash’s a Pegasus, oh yeah! Incase you’re wondering, the mark on the side of your flank is a cutie mark! It shows your special talent.”

So that’s what the pencil means.

One of the pink rose blossoms flew directly infront of me.

“What are these doing anyway?” I asked.

“Oh, our rose petals, those guide you, they have an elemental power behind them, if you see them, they’ll light the way.”

Woosh!

The world began to swirl and mismatch around me as everything became dark.

“Remember Jeddie! The rose petals, they’ll light the way!”

…

“Yes you!”

…

It was daybreak as I began to wake up, the rose petals swirling around me as I stood up.

The rose petals flew around, and then continued in the same direction.

And, being the supersticious and curious me, I decided to follow them…
