The Guardian Chronicles

A hand slid underneath the box. Having no other choice I stepped on. Then the box flipped right-side up causing me to face plant in some left over soy sauce. " Oh come on!" I cried.

It didn't take me long to realize that my kidnapper was the exact pony I was following. The ride in the box was not very smooth because that crazy mare decided she was going to run home which caused me to go all over the place and at one point getting up close and personal with the soy sauce again.

I felt like i was going to puke when Suddenly the ride smoothed out like we were flying but I shook the idea off thinking to myself that it was impossible. Suddenly I heard the creak of a door and hoofsteps on tile. ' This must be the kitchen' I thought. I felt the box land on something solid which I assumed was a table. Then, the box slowly tilted to the side. I transferred as the flaps to the box were opened letting in blinding light. The back of the box began lifting, I lost my balance and tumbled out onto the table. I stood up trying to regain my senses, and when I did I realized I was in a giant shadow. I turned around slowly and saw the mare, the one I was following studying me. "WOAH!" I cried falling backwards. I started crawling backwards until I hit something...her arm! I was trapped, no way out. I thought I would startle her but I was the one who was startled. After all that she finally spoke. " It's okay little fella I'm not gonna hurt you. Hi I'm Rainbow Dash". My heart raced, adrenaline blasted through my body. I had never been so scared in my short life. " Don't be scared little guy. Do you have a name?" She said in a calming tone. I was so scared that I just sat there silent. "Well I have to call you something" she said. She turned around and began to think of a name "T-Travis" I stuttered. She spun around and looked at me in awe. "So you CAN talk!" She said. She began to laugh and said " Well don't worry Travis you're in safe hands". After hearing those words some of the fear subsided 'ok' I thought ' she's not going to hurt me. That's a good thing'. Her hand moved behind me causing me to fall on to it. Then she lifted me up and carried me to a sofa where she lied down on her back, held me closer to her face, and asked " Huh, what exactly are you?" " An aura" I replied feeling a little more relaxed. She gave me a confused look and said " A whatta?" " An aura" I said. So I explained everything to her. My age, the magic, my talent, and how she was my special pony I was assigned to followed by an apology for kinda stalking her. Afterward she did the same. She told me all about her friends and how she was super fast and her age. Turns out she's 18. That night she left me a pillow to sleep on. It was huge but super comfy so I slept like a rock. I had never slept on something soft before. Since I was reborn I had slept on the ground or the bottom of a box.
