Chapter 3
The Abstract

“No, just the Doctor.” he said with an accent I didn’t recognize and a smirk on his face.

I looked over him trying to decide what he was, but coming up with nothing; He had what looked like brown fur covering his body, ears that looked like a lot like horse’s perched on top of his head, messy hair that was a darker brown than his fur. He also wore a blue suit with a brown trench coat.

“Ok… but can you answer a question for me?” I asked reluctantly.

“Well, I don’t see why not. What do you what to know?” he said with the same smirk still on his face. I noticed a squishing tail behind him.

I was feeling perplexed. “Just… what are you?” I asked with a tone that sounded more fearful than I really was.

“Well my dear human-” but he was cut off by the larger white woman.

“Discord, Take that ridiculous disguise off!” she said with a tone that sounded like a mother scolding her child.

I heard chuckling bringing my attention back to the pink woman. The laugh didn’t sound like a woman’s, but more like a man’s. “Oh dear, I guess my disguise is blown.” She said while looking up with a big grin on her face. Her eyes caught me off guard they were yellow and had different sized pupils.

She asked with a tone that sounded amused which sent chills down my spine “How did you know it was me Tia?”

With the same tone, she used before answering her question “We already saw her in the hallway. Did you really think it was necessary to do this?”

“Why yes Tia, it was fun, and you probably wouldn’t have let me in if I didn’t.”

“Yes your right about that. I wouldn’t have, but I don’t have the time to deal with you right now, so take that off now and just sit in the corner quietly.” She said with a tone that had more venom in it than before.

She started to change into a man in a suit. His appearance scared me, but also intrigued me. He had two different horns coming out of his head; his face had a little longer muzzle then the doctor and the women, and it was covered with gray fur with one long tooth protruded from his lips, his hands were strange as well one was a paw and the other was a claw, and a red tail snaked its way onto his lap.

The suit he wore was brown and ragged in some places, but neat in others. For instance, one of his sleeves was a sickly yellow and sloppy sewn on, and the other was farad to the point that it almost passed his elbow. The rest of his suit look pretty normal, but he wasn’t wearing any shoes and his feet looked weird as well; one looked like a hoof, and the other looked like a foot, but was covered in scales.

He stretched and two wings came out from behind him, and they were also completely different from each other and when he settled a golden apple appeared out of thin air and fell into his hand.

“WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!?!?!” I shouted.

“Oh, it was just Discord antics.” The white woman said looking quite interested in why I would make a statement like that.

“HOW THE FUCK DID HE DO THAT?!?!?!” I said still shouting.

“With magic, what else.” she replied.

When I tried to think of what the word magic meant I couldn’t come up with anything and then I tried to think of other memories, but nothing came to me. Panicking, my hands, moved to my head, and I started to hyperventilate. I shouted “WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO ME?!?!?!”

The Doctor responded to me in a comforting tone “We haven’t done anything to you.”

“LIKE HELL YOU HAVEN’T, I CAN’T REMEMBER A DAMN THING!!!” I looked up at them and shouted even louder “GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME!!!” I started to back away from them, but I fell out of the bed hitting my head on the ground. I quickly recovered from this and continued to back away from them till I hit the wall. I shielded myself unsure of what they were planning for me.

I then heard the Doctor say again “we haven’t done anything to you. It’s ok we’re not going to hurt you.” Even hearing that I still shielded myself, but I then felt a comforting hand on my shoulder. I looked up to see the Doctor with a warm smile on his face, and he said “I promise you that nothing will happen to you.” As I stared up at him, I couldn’t help, but trust his words.

I sat there and looked at the others in the room. The man in the suit whom I guess was discord wasn’t there, but the three women had worried expressions on their faces. Then the doctor got back to his full height and asked me if we could get back to the matter at hand.

He extended a hand and helped me back to me feet. The Doctor and I were about the same height with him being just a bit taller. I got on the medical bed and sat with my legs crossed. “Ok with that done let’s get back to your question shall we.”

“…ok” I replied still reluctant about them.

“Ok… now they are ponies, more precisely alicorns. And starting from the left we have Princess Twilight Sparkle” he pointed to the lavender woman ‘Wait so if they’re ponies I guess they would be mares and not women and he must be a stallion I suppose.’ She was wearing a simple white dress shirt with a purple vest over it and a pair of black pants, and no shoes leaving her hooves exposed. She looked to be 20 years of age, a little shorter than the doctor and me. and she had a nice figure, but her violet eyes were the most stunning part of her. They looked through me enveloping me in a sea of purple and violet.

The doctor pulled me back as he then pointed at the blue mare and introduced her “Then we have Princess Luna.” She looked to be about 25… maybe and was a little taller than the doctor. She wore a gorgeous blue dress with a black trim that complemented her nice figure. It left her shoulders showing, and there was a tattoo on her right shoulder that was a crescent moon with a black background. Her bust was a bit smaller than twilight’s, but that was nothing to scoff at, and as I moved up to look into her eyes, I felt like I was looking at the night sky. She just radiated the night and all its beauty.

And then he pointed to the last of the three mares “And she is Princess Celestia.” She looked to be the oldest of the three, but she only looked about 30 at most and she was taller than Luna to the point that she almost touched the ceiling with her horn. She wore a beautiful dress like Luna, but it was white and was gold trimed. It really complemented her figure well. Her bust was massive, and she also had a tattoo on her shoulder, but it looked like the sun this time. My eyes were drawn to hers, and as I looked into them I felt like I was being embraced by a mother’s warm hug.

“And they the ruling bodies of this land.” he finally stated.

“And… what is this land called if I may ask?”

He turned back to me, saying “This is the land of Equestria, and you’re in the Ponyville hospital.” I chuckled a bit after hearing the name causing him to start chuckling bring both of us the full out laughter, and he said through his laughing “yeah, I know I have to same reaction when I first got here.”

Twilight then spoke up “what is so funny?” But Luna just put her hand on Twilight’s shoulder and said in an amused tone “its better not to ask, it will only make you more confused.” Twilight just put one of her hand to her face and sighed.

After calming down we got back to where we were “And what about you and that other guy, Discord was his name right? Also, what is with those tattoos on their shoulders?” I pointed to Luna and Celestia.

“Well he is a draconequus and the god of chaos.” He said flatly. My arm fell along with my mouth and my right eye twitching as I stared at him. “And for me… you can say I’m a traveler of sorts, never staying in one place for too long.” After he finished I just stayed like that until I heard giggling which brought me back to reality and I looked to find the source was Luna

“Oh, I’m so sorry it’s just your face was so humorous.” She composed herself. “Now doctor let’s get to the reason why he’s here.” she asked.

“I’ll get to that, but first he had one more question. You see those tattoos are called cutie marks; they’re the pony’s special talent, and
they magically appear an adolescent when they discovers this talent. It can be abstract or literal. Let’s take twilight.” She pulled up her sleeve to reveal a pink six pointed star with five white stars around it. “Her talent is magic itself. How let’s take Celestia and Luna, their cutie marks are a sun and moon because they have control over them.”

I got over this magic, but the last thing he said really caught me off guard “Wait what?!?!?!”

“Yes. Celestia set the sun in the sky everyday and Luna set the moon in the sky every night.” I then look at the two with uneasiness. ‘They can control the sun and moon, if they have that much power then what could they do to me?!”

Celestia’s smile grew washing me in that warm feeling of a mother’s embrace again “like the Doctor said we won’t harm unless you show reason for it, so you can relax.”

I did relax a bit, but I was still uneasy about the fact that it was like she knew what I was thinking. ‘My face must have given away my thoughts and she picked up on it or something like that I guess.’

“Ok, now let’s get back to your question Luna. Now from what I gathered from Twilight’s letter is that… he isn’t from this universe at all, and this also explains why Twilight couldn’t use her magic on him and why he healed so fast.” Celestia asked for him to explain what he meant by that. He turned to talk to her.

“Well you see there are a countless number of universes out there. All slightly different from one another, and sometimes a tear opens up in an event called transdimensional wormhole displacement or TWD for short. These “wormholes” opens up connecting two of these universes together. It very rare, but sometimes things fall through, and it’s even rarer that the object survives this. Mostly due to the fact that they’re passing through the Abstract Plain unshielded. They’re exposed to large amounts of Abstract Radiation.”

Twilight spoke up now “so can you please explain this Abstract Plain and Radiation”

He replied in a very soft and warm tone “Ah yes I was getting to that. The Abstract Plain is an area in the void between universes; it keeps them from bleeding together and collapsing. Abstract radiation is a byproduct made by this plain; it is very chaotic and random at times, whenever it touches matter something strange happens, if it’s not destroyed.”

I asked reluctantly “like… what?”

“It can perform miracles and create disasters. Let’s take one example; somepony going insane for no apparent reason like King Sombra.” The princesses cringed when he said that name.

“Who’s… King Sombra?”

Luna answered my question in an unnaturally loud tone making me jump and increased my fear for them “HE WAS A CORRUPT KING THAT NEARLY DESTORYED HIS KINGDOM AND ITS INHABITANTS!!!” I could see the anger in her eyes flash before it disappeared when Celestia put a hand on her shoulder calming her.

The doctor cleared his throat to announce he wasn’t done yet “let’s take another example.” He turned back to me and said “You. From what Twilight said it sounded like you should be dead, but here you are fully healed only a few hours after Twilight found you.”

“Ok, but that still doesn’t explain why I couldn’t use my magic on him.”

The Doctor walked over to me and ran a finger along cheek and then turned and walked over to Twilight and asked “Twilight this may explain what I’m talking about?”

“Ok… but Doctor what are you going to do?”

“Just a simple experiment nothing to worry about. I just need you to kneel.” She did what the Doctor asked, and he rubbed the finger he ran long my check with on the tip of her horn. “Now, Twilight try to use some magic.” Her horn started to glow, but stop where he rubbed her horn. You could see the strain on her face from the effort, but in the end she failed.

“Doctor how long will this last?” she asked with a worried tone that matched her expression.

“Only an hour and then it will begin to fade, so about two hours of no magic.” she grimmest at that “So… Twilight as you can see Abstract Radiation can absorb energy, and that is all that magic is. Also in most cases it destroys matter and absorbs the energy release and that is why it’s so rare for an object to fall into the Abstract Plain and survive without shielding.”

Celestia then walked over and scanned me with her eyes like she was looking for something she couldn’t find. “Um… can I help with something?”

“So Doctor what would you say? Is he dangerous or not?” she asked not looking away from me.

“Well… that remains to be seen, but he isn’t enough of a threat to worry too much about right now, but I recommend somepony which over him, evaluate his abilities, and to make should that he doesn’t cause any trouble.”

“What do you mean by evaluate his abilities? You don’t what he can do.” Luna asked with a tone of disbelief.

“No, I don’t.” he said in a flat tone “You remember when I said that Abstract Radiation is random, well it could have done countless number of thing to him that we haven’t seen yet and also with his amnesia we can’t get a base for what he could do before he fell through into this universe. So yes we need to evaluate him and his abilities. Oh and I don’t suppose you remember your name right?”

I thought for a second searching the deepest parts of my mind, but I came put empty, and I replied simply with a “No.”

“Okay so we need to find you one because we can’t keep calling you him, he, and you.”

Celestia asked, “how about Eric?” I thought over the name for a bit and found that I liked it, but I was curious why she suggested it, and I
asked “I have to ask why that name?”

“Well… you remind me of somepony I knew long ago.”

“Ok. I like that name, I’ll keep it.”

The Doctor happily stated “Eric it is.”

“Ok with that settled let’s get back to who’s going to evaluate him.” Twilight asked.

Even thou he was turned away from me I could still see his smile growing larger before he said in a playful tone “why not you Twilight?”

“WHAT, Why me?!”

“A princess would have more than enough power to stop him if he went on a rampage, but Tia, Luna, and Cadence all have their kingdoms to rule so… that just leaves you.”

They were talking like I wasn’t here and that I didn’t have an opinion on the subject. “Wait… let me get this straight. I was pulled out of my own universe, hurled through a plain that could have destroyed me, but instead leaves me with abilities that I don’t even know what they are, then thrown into another universe which is ruled over by human looking pony only to find I can’t remember my past, and then… they say I need to be studied like some animal in a cage. Well I say that’s bull!”

They all looked at me then Celestia spoke “if you don’t like the doctor’s proposal, then I could always put you in a dungeon and let my scientists poke and prod you till they find out what make you tick.” She said with that motherly smile that was now terrifying me.

I gave and said with a trembling voice “Ok. Ok. Fine… if those are my only two options then I will… go with the first one.”

“Good.” She simply replied. “Now Doctor, when do you think we should start.”

“Well I spouse anytime Twilight is ready.” he said as walk out the door. Luna and Celestia followed after him.

I looked out the door before it closed, and I saw Luna and the doctor. They were talking about something. I looked at Luna’s lips because I couldn’t see the Doctor’s and what I got was “Ok Doctor… I can’t do that.”

‘What the fuck! I can read lips?’ I thought before Twilight brought me back to the medical room.

“Well I suppose we should get going so you can see where you’ll be staying for awhile.” She said awkwardly.

I was still a bit dazed from this whole experience, so all I got out was ok. “But first we need to get you some new clothes.” I looked down to see the black shirt I had on was covered in blood and with around five or so holes randomly scattered across my chest.

“Ok… but where should we go?” I asked her.

“I have a friend who would love to help.” She said, with a bit of pride. “Ok… I guess I’m ready whenever you are.”
