All of the ponies were staring at the UFO that sat before them, they all had their jaws hanging in disbelief all the while Spike was having a field day and was parading around with his fists in the air congratulating himself for being right while Twilight was wrong.

"Hah! Pay up!" Spike exclaimed while celebrating one of his few victories over Twilight along with the rest of the girls.

Five mares grumbled to themselves as they pulled out their coin purses and yanked out their bits for the bet, dozens upon dozens of bits were removed and passed over to their green and purple scaled friend. Fluttershy was the only pony who didn't make the bet because she knew that aliens are real on the fact that being alone in the universe must be a sad existence.

That and she doesn't like making bets against her friends.

Once the coins were exchanged Spike immediately placed them into his own coin bag and went back to enjoying his victory while his friends went back to gawking at the space ship.

"So...Twi', how are ya gonna tell the princess about this...thing?" Applejack asks as she walks over to the UFO, placing her hand on the front prong of the space craft, feeling that it is no longer hot

"I don't know how I can even begin to explain this to them Applejack. I mean can you explain this to them?"

The ensuing silence between them said it all.

"As my brother would say, Eenope!" Applejack said before removing her hand from the metal prong, her gaze moving away from the UFO only for it to look at her friends once again.

"Well, I guess I will just speak the truth to them, 'an unidentifiable flying object crashed into your old castle', I am sure that they not be mad at us for this seeing how it was out of our hands in the first place." Twilight said as she looked at the overall design of the space craft, wondering exactly how such a thing can even fly. To her the aerodynamics of it all was completely off.

While they were busy talking about the ship, Spike was busy collecting his well earned money from his friends, laughing to himself as he hears the sweet jingling of coins being exchanged to his claws before depositing them into his coin bag.

The green drake was happy that he finally got a big boost to his spending money, now he finally had enough to take his marefriend out on a date and a date in Canterlot no less! For him he was a happy drake, and happy drake is a good drake.

But for everyone else, while they were squabbling and chatting, none of them were paying any attention to the ship until it made a noise.

As soon as that sound was made all seven of the girls quickly ran away from the alien craft and ducked behind a fallen pillar and peeked over the top and sides, to see if anything was coming out of the space ship and to their surprise they all saw something slowly made its way out from underneath it

To say that they were shocked and surprised that alien life is real is an understatement.


[ME]


The first thing I did when I settled back into my special seat and took control of my warframe, I went out of my way to see the rest of my ship and hope that nothing inside is damaged or out of place. Stepping out of the Transference Chamber I looked to my right to see the chamber holding the bio-matter for the warframes is closed and not a single speck of the bio-matter to be seen so I can guess that there is no containment breach has occurred, but I will check on that latter. Looking to my left I saw the door to my personal quarters was wide open and when I walked up the open door I saw that nothing was out of place with the exception of the one pillow on the floor next to the bed, seemed like that it was tucked in underneath the sheets.

Feeling that nothing has gone horribly wrong down here I then decided to check up on the front of my Orbiter as well, can't have the navigation console destroyed along with the Foundry and Arsenal, otherwise I would be stuck here with no means of constructing and repairing anything that gets damaged or broken.

Walking up the ramp I saw that my sentinels are fine, seeing how they don't have to land ever...they must have stayed floating in the center of the cabin while the ship was spinning out of control during its death spiral. Turning my gaze over I saw that my kubrow on the other hand...she seems to be glued to the top of her kennel dome. Moving over to the kennel I disengaged the dome and watched my furry four-legged companion land on the metal plate with a plop before standing back up on all fours and wagged her little stubby tail before barking excitedly at me.

"Aww, did my little Snarblebottom get stuck in her kennel?" I said in a childish tone, my kubrow stood there and bark happily at me before pouncing, forcing me to the floor before licking my helmet.

"Yes, yes, I get it, you love me, now can you please stop licking me, I am not even covered in blood and your licking me like I am some sort of Grineer-flavored popsicle." I said as my large killing machine of a kubrow finally relented her licking assault and got off of me before sitting down, waiting for me to talk to her again.

"No Snarble, we are not going out on a mission." My kubrow whimpered at me, pawing at my leg, trying to get me to cave in.

"That won't work on me this time young lady." Her ears folded back and her eyes grew bigger. She was really laying on the cute factor.

"I said no! I don't even know where we are let alone if there are any Grineer or Corpus here for you to snack on." I said as I patted her on the head before walking past her and walked up the lowered ramp to the navigation section of the Orbiter.

Looking at the open area I saw that my navigation console is still intact, the small golden statue that I found is still on its little mount, the big old urn behind it is still wedged between the window and the console and the window is not broken or cracked in the slightest. Shifting my gaze I saw that the console connecting me to my factions is still operational, but sadly it isn't connected to any of them so that means that I am shit out of luck on getting anything from them be it news or anything else that is important to me. Next was the market console for all of my blueprint and resource needs, sadly there is no connection at the moment and I highly doubt I can get a Darvo Deal out here... wherever here is.

"Ordis!" I called out to my ship's cephalon and for a moment I heard nothing but the silence didn't last long as a small transparent blue screen appeared in front of me as I looked out the window to see if I could recognize anything but all I saw was nothing.

"Yes Operator? Is there something you need? *bzzt* PLEASE SAY NO! *bzzt*"

"Ordis try to raise our sensor array and see where we are, if we crashed on Earth we would at least be getting pings from Grineer scavenger ships but so far all I am getting is static and dead air."

"At once Operator." And with that said the cephalon vanished from sight, and just in time to as I watched my kubrow swat at it with a paw.

Shaking my head at the sight of my killer dog trying to play a game with my ship's AI I returned to what I was doing and turned back down the ramp and towards my special chair.

Returning to my chair I slide myself back in before the pod sealed itself around me, ensuring that nothing gets in or me accidentally falling out.

Closing my eyes before opening them back up I was now looking out of the neuroptics from my warframe's helmet, its vision staring at my chair from where I left it.

Rotating my right hand to have the palm facing me I clenched my fingers into a fist, the sound of the semi-organic material being clenched tightly can be heard and for a moment I felt back at home being in control of a warframe once more.

Leaving the transference chamber behind I walked toward the sentinel port and unleashed all ten of them into the orbiter's compartment, letting them float and hover freely in their home.

Stepping over and into the arsenal I looked over my available weapons and picked out my loadout for my trip into the unknown landscape outside. Grabbing my Braton Prime from its housing I unfolded it until it was in its proper shape before shouldering it onto my back, taking my Lex Prime from my hip I slid back the slide and saw a magnum round was still in the chamber before slipping it into a holster as I looked around for something else to bring with me. Looking at my arsenal I saw something that could use some love and in a matter of seconds my beloved Warhammer materialized into existence, the Fragor Prime, its gilded appearance made me wonder just how effective it would be at crushing its target but when it smashed a Grineer trooper's head like a watermelon I rescinded any comments I had on it and used it as often as possible.

"Ordis, I will be doing a short reconnaissance around the crash site and see where we are and to see if there is anything we can use as salvage to repair our void engines." I said as I forced the ramp leading into the navigation console up as I climbed into the infiltration pod and motioned for my Wyrm Prime to follow me, its Orokin colors glinting off in the low light as it slithered in the air before entering the pod with me as I secure myself inside it.

Once we were in the pod I gave it the green light as it rotated around slowly before it began its rapid cycling procedure before flipping us over and disengaged the magnetic locks holding us in place.

But instead of rolling in the air and landing on the floor in a three-point landing, I instead landed on the ground stomach first as my head bonks on a stone brick.

'Okay, I was not expecting our orbiter to have crashed this close to the ground. I thought we would have at least crashed high enough that I would be able to land and move immediately if necessary. Now I have to bonk my head against the floor before crawling out from underneath my own ship!'

Scowling at the ground I crawled out from underneath my ship and once I was far enough from it I stood up and looked around, my eyes were not believing what I was seeing.

"What in the world...what is this place? It looks...ancient..." I muttered to myself as I slowly walked around before the sounds of glass crunching underneath a boot caught my attention, making me look down to see that it was indeed glass.

Looking up I saw that where my ship crashed that there was a line of windows and that I crashed into over a dozen of them, the rest of the windows that I thought were left standing were broken all over the floor, the shockwave from the impact broke everything in the hall.

'Man I sure hope nobody was home. There is no way in hell my credits will be able to cover this amount of damage! If this place was once owned by the Grineer or Corpus then fuck them, I'll just leave a note saying a Tenno did it.'

Seeing that I am standing in some sort of ancient building if I can judge it by the worn crumbling bricks, the dust filled hall, and that what looks like carpet in the middle of the hall is severely moth-eaten to the point that its design is unrecognizable.

Taking a few cautionary steps around my ship to check on the extent of the damage

Grumbling to myself I looked at my ship from the front of it to see what the damage was and I must say that there wasn't much damage to it at all, there may have been some dents and dings to it but there wasn't any actual damage to it. Climbing onto the front the ship where the navigator console is located there was no damage to the reinforced glass so I moved onto other parts of the ship, I checked the left wing then moved onto the engine attached to its underside and saw that it was for the most part burned out. And as I went to go check the other wing and to check on its engine I heard something crunch on a piece of glass behind me.

Whirling around to the source of the disturbance I pulled out my Lex Prime and aimed down the glowing iron sights, the pistol pointing at a fallen pillar as I kept my eyes on it for the slightest of movement.

Motioning my sentinel to the pillar I pointed it to where the pillar cracked before it fell over as I slowly made my way to the other side of it, to ambush whoever it is that is spying on me.


[Twilight's POV]


Ducking behind the pillar with the rest of the girls and Spike we were able to remain out of sight just in time as the strange alien turned in our direction after Fluttershy accidentally stepped on a piece of broken glass.

Covering her mouth with a hand we stayed behind the pillar as I quickly lit up my horn and cast around us an invisibility field around the seven of us as we tried to stay out of sight from the alien.

I couldn't believe that there was a real live alien here! In Equestria! All theories that have been created on their being alien life beyond our world has been proven true but now comes the hard part, initializing first contact without causing an incident between Equestria and the alien's race!

As we hid behind the pillar I quickly told Spike to write a letter to Princess Celestia about what is happening and if she could either offer any advice or if she can get over here as soon as possible.

While Spike was busy writing the letter I took a peek over the side of the pillar and saw that the alien was coming closer but I couldn't tell what it looked like until it finally stepped into the light and in that brief moment that it was visible to me I realized that this might be harder than I had thought.

This alien was tall, taller than myself and the rest of the girls, it is easily standing at seven feel tall, maybe a little bit more by a few inches, and if I am correct about its height than it easily matches Princess Celestia in height! It is wearing some type of armor or environmental suit one usually wears when entering a hazardous area like a sulfur pit or toxic swamp, it is black and brown in color with gold accented pieces on its shoulders, hips and its helmet. I also saw that on its body it had numerous glowing gold colored lights throughout its body and on the back of its neck was some sort of cloak although it didn't cover the entirety of its back as I only saw two lanes of cloth running down its back. The suit itself appeared organic looking, doesn't appear to be made out of metal as it flowed freely around the alien's body in such a way that the armor of the royal guards is no where near as flawless and perfect as the thing I am seeing.

Whatever this thing is, I am not sure what to make of it, is it friendly or is it hostile?

But my thoughts of it were soon interrupted when I saw something in its right hand, a small handheld device that looked almost as gilded and gold plated as the suit it was wearing. From what I can see it looks white with some gold accents but as it stepped closer I also noticed that between its legs was an angular piece, my guess to protect its groin from any kind of attack.

It looks like this thing came prepared from an attack of any kind if it is protecting such a spot in such a fashion.

Before I could inspect the alien further it was now standing in front of me, looking down at where me and girls and Spike were hiding, the invisibility field was still holding but as it stands if it were to take one step inside or place its hand in, it would break the field and reveal us to it.

We all sat there in silence, the alien was pointing the device at us as it scanned the area trying to find the source of whoever stepped on the glass shards but found nothing as it couldn't see any of us. As we simply sat there in fear of getting discovered we were all bumped to the side as Spike had to keep himself quiet as he saw something come slithering out from around the other side and appeared right in front of his face.

The thing that slithered out from the shadows was some sort of hovering snake beast, it had a black underbelly with white and brown colored pattern on its top half with what looks like gold plates melded into it, it also appears to have six gold fins along with what looks like golden whiskers for what appears to be its head with golden horns sprouting up top. Its tail appears to be some sort of strange gold plated circle as I spotted that throughout its body is an array of blue lights, just like the alien with its golden yellow lights on its armor.

I think this thing is the alien's pet! It is so exotic looking and strange, I see no means of it hovering in the air and yet with the smallest of flaps from its front fins it manages to stay hovering in the air.

Fearing that we might have been found out I was preparing for a teleportation spell but that is when the alien put away its device on its hip before turning around and returned to its space ship while the snake thing slithered beside it before giving one last glance towards us.

As soon as they were out of earshot I lowered the invisibility field and let out a sigh of relief before slumping against the pillar just as the rest of the girls and Spike let out sighs of relief of their own.

'Dear Celestia that was a close one! It would seem that this alien knows that something is here but is unable to see us, I hope we can initiate first contact without a conflict arising! I cannot fail Princess Celestia now!'

"Twilight! I finished the letter!" Spike whispered to me before he inhaled deeply and blew on the letter, disintegrating it into a green magical mist as it swirled in the air and out of the massive hole in the wall and headed straight for Canterlot.

Before we could once again peek over the pillar to see the alien but what we saw scared all of us.

The alien was staring right at us, and it had something else in its hands, and it was pointed right at us.


[ME]


I knew that I was being watched but when I looked behind the pillar to see if there was something hiding there but when I found nothing I had only assumed that it was just a piece of glass falling over and shattering on the floor. What I wasn't expecting however was for my sentinel to make a quiet sound alerting me to a disturbance and as soon as I turned around to see what it was I saw a wisp of green smoke rise from behind the pillar as it shot outside and towards some far off location.

Someone was hiding behind the pillar and it just sent out a distress signal.

Grabbing my Fragor Prime from my back I wheeled around and smashed the fallen column right in the middle of its mass, splitting it in half and completely crumbling the center of it into dust as the head of the hammer ground the ancient stone into dust and pebbles.

The sheer impact of the blow made several individuals who were hiding behind said pillar to fall forward to get away from the pillar that I had just crushed and what I saw made me momentarily pause any further course of action against my would be assailants.

Looking down at them with my Lex Prime pointed at one of them I saw that instead of Grineer Manic's, the Grustrag Three, a pack of Zanuka or even the Stalker and his Acolytes, but this? This is not even remotely close to being a threat to me.

Staring down at the seven indigenous beings before me I saw that they were not feral nor were they of any hostile threat to my presence being here, in fact my very presence is making them fearful and are afraid of my very being. Looking at these seven beings I saw that there was some human quality to them such as that they are wearing clothes that humans in the past before the rise of the Orokin Empire would wear, they are bipedal, they seem to be capable of some sort of vocal speech patterns if the strange purple bipedal iguana is of any indication but that is where the similarity between humanity and their current physical appearance ends.

They are horse-like in nature with their physical appearance, they have short muzzles, ears, fur covering their entire body, tails, hooves instead of feet, two of the beings have what looks like a horn coming out from their forehead just barely inside of their hairline while the other two have feathered wings coming from their back, probably from around their shoulder blades.

Another thing that sets them apart from humans is that their fur color along with their hair color are from what I can see come in a very wide myriad of color palates ranging from the brightest of pinks to the deepest shade of lavender, the seven of them almost carry the rainbow with their presence, one being in particular actually has the rainbow pattern for their hair on their head and tail.

As I stare down at the humanoid-like horses I took stock of them, two had horns, two had wings, the other two had neither horns nor wings and the seventh was an iguana had purple scales with some green scales on its neck going downward, it had frills on its head so I can only assume it is either poisonous or non-poisonous.

Seeing that they are harmless I put away my Fragor and Lex Prime before pulling out my Codex Scanner and pointed it at them. The yellow winged horse, alabaster white horned horse, and the purple iguana cowered at the sight of the codex while the cyan blue winged horse and the orange earth horse moved in front of them, being protective as they stared angrily at me all the while purple unicorn was staring at me with some curiosity.

The Codex Scanner released a holographic overlay on the horses in question, one at a time a pixelated scan moved across their bodies for a brief two seconds before winking a green light that the scan was completed before moving onto the next horse being before ending with the iguana. I don't know why but that thing almost reminds me of a dragon from the ancient mythology of Earth...must be my imagination because dragons have wings and this iguana has no wings, no horns, and I see no trails of smoke coming from the nostrils.

I feel cheated for some reason.

Once my scanning was done I placed my scanner back into my armor port before turning around and returned to scanning my ship for any hints of structural damage that might prevent me from returning back to the dojo or a relay.

"Ordis can you hear me?"

"Yes Operator, I can hear you loud and clear. *bzzt* You don't need to shout you know! *bzzt*"

"I didn't shout, but anyways I need you to take the scans I have collected and analyze them. I want to know everything you can find on this strange race I have discovered and report back to me when it is done."

"At once Operator. *bzzt* Lazy sack of cra- *bzzt*" I cut Ordis off before he could even finish that sentence.

'Man I gotta take time out of my day to fix his matrix...that thing is gonna breakdown completely one of these days and start talking to me in ways I never thought possible...I hope it doesn't suck out all the air in the Orbiter with me still in it...'

Ignoring the indigenous species that I have just scanned I returned to looking over my ship, seeing how I didn't fully look over the left right wing I returned to where I last was and felt around the engine for any dent or ding to it but found nothing.

'Thank god this thing isn't damaged...'

But before I could check on the rear of the ship for any signs of damage I heard my sentinel emit an alarm and I immediately turned around, pistol raised but I lowered my aim when I saw that it was the purple horned horse I lowered my guard and resumed my maintenance of my ship while out of the corner of my eye I watched as this horse took cautious steps toward me and my ship. The purple horned horse took several slow steps towards my ship, its hooves kept stepping on the broken glass, cracking and breaking them further it as I heard little noises coming from the horse's mouth, my guess that it was because it kept stepping on the glass and it was digging into its hooves.

I didn't have to wait long before the horse started to talk to me, or well...tried to talk to me because I don't understand whinnies, neighing, and whatever horse sounds they make when they talk to each other. Without even turning my head I saw that the horse was now standing at the edge of my ship, afraid to touch the wing it was nearest as it timidly tried to talk to me why my sentinel was hovering right in her face. Funny how the thing always does that to me when I am busy trying to hide in a corner to let a passing patrol of grineer or corpus soldiers walk by so I can stab them in the back, guess it just wants attention from its creator.

Looking at the purple horned horse I started to take notice of its appearance besides its species as a whole, besides the horn on its head that clearly looks like it is some form of bone-like protrusion and it looks like that it would break if I were to just give it a flick. After looking at its horn I heard Ordis speak up and started to tell me that the scan on the purple one standing beside my Orbiter is ready for viewing.

Telling Ordis that I will look at it later I returned my attention to my ship and only after seeing that there is no signs of damage other than that both engines have been overloaded when the Void collapsed and that they were pushed beyond their operating limits to ensure that I would survive. I am going to have to repair these engines by swapping out the void crystals within the engine's void breaching compartment in the front but I don't have the necessary tools to dismantle my engines let alone have any spare crystals to do the replacement with.

I am stuck here until I can either dismantle my engines from the opposite side which would leave me marooned here for a far longer time than if I can dismantle the engines with the proper tools and even if I had said tools I don't have any crystals to make the swap.

In essence I am...what is that saying that the colonists use now these days...oh yes 'Royally Fucked with no lube'...am I using that saying correctly? Eh whatever, I can make do with what I have, I can survive here until another Tenno finds me. I just have to hope that nothing bad happens to my ship or to myself in the mean time.

Shrugging at the implications of what has just been discovered I see that for the time being I am stuck on this planet I placed my hands on my hips to look at my ship one last time before deciding that if I am going to be stuck here I might as well have my ship propped up in such a way that will make getting to my engines easier to start on the repairs.

Looking at the split pillar where the scared horse people are located I saw the necessary props to keep my ship in place, assuming it can handle the weight of a...huh I don't even know how heavy my own ship is. This could prove to be problematic if they can't even support the weight of my ship.

Walking over to the pillar I saw the horses back away from me, the orange earth horse and the cyan blue winged horse kept their fists raised at me but I only spared them a sideways glance before grabbing the pillar by a crack and with a sharp yank I lifted it off the ground and I found that it is surprisingly light for five meter wide pillar. The blasted thing looked like it would weigh an easy ton, maybe two tons due to it being a support column for what looks like a fortress but to me it might as well weight the same as a single Bursa.

Seeing them look at me in fear is a welcome sight, everyone fears the Tenno because they know that they can't kill us with the exception of the Sentient's and the Stalker, all others see us as unstoppable killing machines that owes no allegiance to anyone but themselves or to the Lotus who might I add acts like our guide and our mother...I just wish she would stop sending me on suicide missions, Councilor Vay Hek needs to seriously give up in trying to take over the solar system, it will never work.

If we can blow up his Balor Fomorians, destroy his Terra Frame, and kick his ass across several planets what hope does he have in stopping the Tenno? The correct answer is never.

Hefting the surprisingly light pillar onto my shoulder I moved it toward my ship before placing it near the left wing before going back to grab the other half and placed it near the right wing, only when I placed it down I saw that the purple horned horse was waiting for me, a strange smile on its muzzle.

What does it want and why is it still here?

Glancing at the purple horned horse I saw that it stood near my ship, its tail shifting ever so slightly when it noticed my head slightly looking in its direction as it opened its muzzle and started to make more horse sounds. I guess it was trying to talk to me and I can understand what it is trying to do but when you are talking to a foreign being and are unable to understand what is being said, things get lost in translation. At least it is giving me samples of its language but sadly without knowing what its words are due to them just sounding like what a horse makes...what is it trying to tell me?

With me sitting there on the edge of my ship I looked at the purple horse as I started to formulate a plan of action, if I am going to be here for what might be forever I might as well try to communicate with the locals, even if I can't properly talk to them.

After all poor communication kills and I would rather not kill these aliens over not knowing what is being said.


[Twilight's POV]


'Here I am, standing right before the alien, it sat itself down on the side of its spacecraft and was staring right at me.'

'You can do this Twilight Sparkle, you can do this. Just remember to breath and remember that the future of Equestria depends on you not bucking this up! Come on now! You can do it!'

Pumping myself up for is possibly the most important moment in the history of Equestria and of my life and I will not ruin this chance! Clearing my throat and straightening out my blouse and skirt I walked closer to the ship with the confidence needed to not buck this up and ruin a budding friendship with an alien!

"Hello! My name is Twilight Sparkle and I welcome you to Equestria!" I said in a happy tone as I smiled as wide as I can, trying to appear as friendly as possible to the scary and powerful alien.

'This would be so much easier if I could see its eyes or its face! If I can figure out its body language than this would make this a hundred times easier than it currently is!'

'I wonder how the alien sees us? Does it see us as helpless prey? Food? Friends? Trading Partners? Mere objects?'

Shaking that thought away I looked at the alien for a moment, wondering if there is any way to communicate with it but all I am coming up with is giving it some paper, ink and quill and let it write something down before attempting a translation spell on it. Or if I am feeling really bold...I could come into contact with its head with my horn and let our minds connect so we could learn the others language so much faster! I just hope it doesn't see that as a major invasion of privacy.

"Uhh...I am not sure if you can understand me but I am wondering if...if we can try some things?" I said as I looked at the alien, I don't know why but I can only hope that it nods at me or at the very least acknowledge me in some way.

I didn't have to wait long when it presented me with an empty hand, from what I can tell that it was a handshake.

Was it trying to greet me?


[ME]


I have no fucking idea what this girl is saying but if I know smiles like I used to know them, then that means that she means me no harm and that she is nice. If she was a dog or some other predatory than that it would be more along the lines of a threat or displaying aggression and dominance against me. So glad that this one is a horse, herbivores are peaceful and not dangerous, except for the hippopotamus, those things are killers when it comes to human life.

Listening to what the horse girl was saying I started to record everything that was being said all the while waiting for a break in the conversation and as soon as one was created I made my move.

Thrusting out my right hand I presented the horned horse my hand for a simple greeting handshake, if this notion was present among their kind than it will help with the process along with it help me find any possible similarities our cultures might have. If we can find ways to communicate and possible establish a means of talking than this process will be smooth, only problem is that if this handshake gets wasted because she doesn't know what it is.

'I wonder what this girl is thinking of right now...probably losing her mind that she is meeting a real life alien.'

With my hand open and waiting for her to grasp it I can see the tiny gears in her head turning, I saw that if she were to shake my hands it would kick off a diplomatic mission of epic proportions, she would be in the middle of this because she was the one who initiated First Contact and that she would have the most experience in dealing with extraterrestrials and that they will see her as the one that I trust the most. They wouldn't be far from the truth but no one can do a better job at dealing with an alien due to the language barrier, the difference in physiology along with psychological matters that will without a doubt hamper the path.

Seeing how she spoke and tried verbal communication with me I guess I shall do the same for her, even though my voice will sound like it has been altered due to speak through a bio-organic machine and that I am inside a complex machine it will alter it further. I might as well try to talk to the horned horse woman, just to progress this further just enough until we reach an impasse.

Baited breath and patience born of being asleep for over three hundred years I watched as the purple horse slowly stepped closer to me and for a moment all was still and silent.

Until she reached out and grabbed my hand.


Author's Note

Just had some free time for this one, college is coming up soon as seeing if I get that job at the organic food store along with college not being a twat and fixes its website I might be releasing more.

Oh and the coming chapters might be limited to four thousand words or less.

Next Chapter
