Darkness Is Magic

I swam up to the surface after doing the super cannonball. I dog paddled to land and stood up rubbing the water out of my face and hair, but my clothes were still soaked.

"Got damnit! That hurt like a bitch, if I would have belly flopped that I might have died." I said.

"Oh crap where am I!" I looked around in fear. I was in a meadow with a few scattered trees and a very dark and dense forest close by the lake that I landed in.

"Oh damn I'm in another world, like that Alice in Wonderland bullshit, hey maybe I'll find some elves or ogres while I'm here." I chuckled a little bit, but it hit me as I realized that my parents will be worried sick about me I need to find a way to get home before they come back on their honeymoon.

I looked down to see my IPod almost buried in the dirt, I ran up to it and dug it out.

"I'm stuck in this world I need my music for comfort!" I yelled in panic. I turned on the device and it came on.

"Oh, good I forgot it is waterproof I would have went crazy, like a stoner with no weed." I said while signing in relief. I looked around the place before I decided that I should look for civilization.

I decided to travel through the dense forest hoping to find a path or something. The warmth of the sun dried the water off my clothes and body. I walked through the thick bushes and trees being careful to not trip on the foliage, the forest seem to emit a fog that's only staying in the boundaries of the forest.

As I was walking carefully I heard a lion's roar close by, so I quickly hid behind the thick bushes. I peeked through bush and saw something that I couldn't believe I was seeing. It looked like a lion but 2 xs bigger and it had bat wings with a scorpion tail…

"What…the…fuck?" I whispered in utter shock on what I was seeing. Now I really do believe that I was in another world to my dismay. The creature walked away and vanished behind a couple of trees.

"Damn that thing was hideous; it looked like 3 different species had an orgy and created it." I said as I stepped out of the bushes. I kept walking through the forest trying to find a path or something to lead me to civilization.

"How did I get in this strange place? The Wristband!"

I thought to myself. I lifted my sleeve up on my right arm to see that the wristband I put on vanished without a trace. I had to find a way to get back home because my puppy Bogey is all alone.

Good thing I gave him a bucket of water and dog food that can last him for weeks with him being as small as he is. This place just kept getting stranger; the forest is the only thing that seemed to be real while the meadow, lake, mountains, and sky looked very…Cartoonish…

"I have to be careful in this strange world; I just saw an ugly ass creature that can tear me to shreds."

I thought in my mind.

"I'm glad I have my IPod with me, I'm a gamer and I love games but fuck the games and the 360, I need music! Can't work out, do school work, while sitting on your ass playing PS3 or 360 games, but you can do them while listening to music."I said mentally. I shook my head.

"Damnit I got to focus, I'm in this dense forest with no weapons and I might encounter that lion creature again." I said. I saw butterflies fly around the trees, yet they didn't look like regular butterflies, they looked very Cartoonish and their colors were extremely bright.

I continued walking through the dense forest trying to find a path, or something other than green. I felt my legs go out from under me as I tripped on a branch.

"Ow! Got damnit!" I said picking myself up. I was fine and I didn't get any scratches or bruises on my skin, and my clothes were still good and didn't rip from the fall. I looked down to see a broken tree branch on the ground.

I grabbed the small tree branch and held it in my hand like a sword to fight anything that will attack me.

"I wonder how Bogey is doing at home; he never likes to be alone and he whines a lot if there's not a person around."

I thought to myself. I walked what seem like to be hours in till I found a yellow Cartoonish dirt path that was in front of me, I threw the branch away and walked towards it smiling.

"Finally I found a path!" I yelled in joy. I walked on it and I decided to listen to my music as I walked. I took out my IPod and put my ear buds on and turned it on, I went down the list and picked In Da Club by: 50 Cent and the rap came on.

I turned off my IPod and took my ear buds out of my ears; I forgot that I can still be attacked even on the path. I continued walking on the path even though I wasn't certain if that lion thing was around, after 12 minutes of walking without my music on I found myself in a meadow.

I saw a patch of flowers, and then something caught my eye. I stepped lightly to see a Pony, but it was no ordinary Pony…the Pony looked like it was from a little girl's Cartoon or from an Anime…It had a Dark Red mane with a light red streak in it, and its coat color was Pale Yellow…

I also saw that the Pony had a tattoo of a Red Rose on its flank. I had no Idea what it means. As I was watching it, the Pony was gathering flowers with its mouth. Its muzzle is small while the ordinary Horses and Ponies muzzles are longer.

It seems to be picking up flowers and placing it in a woven basket.

"That strange ugly bastard in the forest and now this, what's next?" I whispered but the Pony heard me and stopped and stared at me…
