Ewww, it's you again, how unpleasant

I didn't have to open my eyes to know who it was. I sighed heavily through my nose, if that's possible. I rolled onto my stomach and tried opening my eyes, but they wouldn't. Again, they weighed like a million pounds. I groaned before trying to speak, "What do you want, can't I just go back?" I pouted, "I've been through enough lately, right?".

Actually, yes, yes you have. And I don't really like you, so I am going to make this as short as I can. I know why the universe sent you here. It's pretty complicated, so I have to explain, The shadow demon sighed, I oversaw your talk with your parents. Mighty fine people If I say so myself, shame you killed them He said, trying to get me mad.

Much to my dismay, and his delight I snapped. I stood straight up, and forced my eyes open. No one, NO ONE insulted me, or my parents. "Listen up shadow-dick, you stupid dick sucker," I started, staring into his deep red eyes, "If you insult my parents one more time, I will rip your puny dick off, shove it down your throat, and drown the ones you care about in your pathetic brain matter! Hear me mother fucker?!" I shouted, waving my hands in motions of the brutalities I had described. 'That must've fucked him up! Oliver 69 - Demon 0!' I thought proudly. You dirty mind you!

The shadow demon out a hand to his mouth. I got into a defensive stance, ready for any attack he gave me. He stared at me a moment, then he broke down on his ass laughing. He literally ROFL'd, which I didn't think was possible, rolling around and waving his arms frantically. In between laughs he would sputter something, but failed as he broke down again.

I sighed, and sat on the ground. Ground? I guess there wasn't actually a ground, since it was an eternal void of nothing. But that is besides the point. After another few minutes, he stopped laughing. "About damn time," I said, "Are you done?" I asked, crossing my arm.

Y-yes! Please ex-excuse me! He said, getting up, You're a funny one, you! He chimed, striding his way over to his recliner. He sat down, and poured himself some tea. Sipping it carefully, he regained his composure. Alright, I guess you are wondering what I've brought you here for, and not directly sending you back to Equestria, as soon as possible? He asked, setting his tea cup on its saucer, and folding his hands neatly on his lap.

"Actually, first, I was wondering what I could refer to you as" I told him

Twas wondering when you would ask that. You may refer to me as, Dunar, if you will, He said motioning to himself.

"Okay..? And now, please tell me, why am I here?"

Oh, yes, It is very simple actually. I have sent the Multiverse Device to Equestria, although I know not where. And for you, and every other being in the Universe, this could be a problem! He said bluntly, as if that wasn't a big deal, Anywhere from the tallest mountain to the smallest stream. It could be anywhere. And it is your job to find it, before it falls into the wrong hands! He said, growing more serious.

"Whoa whoa wait! My job? You're a god! Can't you just, teleport it? And why is It 'My Job' in particular?" I was starting to panic....

OLIVER, YOU DUMBASS! I thought you would've figured this out by now....I am the God of everything in between! Which includes shadows, fate and destiny! He yelled.

"Wait! You're saying my destiny is too find some stupid device and destroy it?" I countered, annoyed by the situation.

Do you understand the severity of the situation? If you don't, the universe could be torn to shreds! Being friends with the God of Death, even I that would be bad, he said, calming down. Easing himself back into his recliner, You wouldn't be a pawn of the gods, Oliver, you would be the savior of the universe. When you died, you would be- He cut himself off, I have said too much. You shall return to Equestria, and make some friends. I will contact the princess and inform her of the siuation He said with a wave of his hand.

"Wait, you know Celestia?" I asked, surprised.

Yes, merely. She is the great granddaughter of the God of the Universe. He gave her the sun, she was always his favorite. He said, sighing happily, lost in thought.

"Yeah, okay. Now can I please leave? This place makes me want to shit myself!" I said, looking around nervously.

Yes, yes you shall. Good luck Oliver. Good luck....

With that, and a wave of his black hand, a bright loud engulfed me. My mind was eased of thoughts, and I knew no more.

I awoke in a forest, although I didn't know where I was. It was daytime, but it was very, very dark. Glancing up, I found the reason. The sun glowed elegantly on the sides of the moon. A solar eclipse. Dotting the sky were heaving rain clouds, ready to burst any second. I shifted my attention to the task at hand. Find help.

I stood up groggily, still drowsy from being unconscious. Wen I got to my feet, I scanned my surroundings, looking for any sign of civilization. Finding none, I set in a random direction, hoping for the best. I strode over to the forest edge, peering inside. It seemed calm, but not peaceful. A powerful tension filled the air, like a overfilled balloon ready to explode. No animals were in sight and a slight fog crept from the deep vines.

I decided I had to take a risk. All though it was against the rules, my rules, sometimes it was necessary. I plunged into the forest, and my face was slammed with a wave of dense heat. A brushed it aside and strode deep inside the forest. Not knowing what I was looking for exactly, I just keep walking, hoping for the best.

Sweat started forming instantly, tainting my clothes with a dreadful smell, like a locker room in school. As I continued walking, I began feeling a sense of paranoia and anxiety, as if someone was watching me. Wanting to get out of this forest, I quickend my pace.

Hours it seemed. Hours of mindless trudging. It began too rain awhile ago, which didn't add to the affect of dreadfulness in the forest. I was about to sit down for a break, when a blood curdling scream pierced the air. My head perked up instantly, someone was in trouble! I shot off the log I was resting on, and sprinted towards the area of the scream.

I ran, and ran faster than I had before. Someone was in trouble. When I reached a clearing, I gagged at what I saw.

There was a body hanging from the tree, dripping blood from every possible place. It's lower abdomen had been torn to shreds, revealing the intestines. Said intestines hung out, stretching a few feet below the body. On the ground there was a pool of blood, accompanied by various organs. Glancing too my right, I saw a old, vine infested cabin, fitted with the classic horror look. I made my way to the doorstep, and was about too knock when my blood ran cold. On the door, written in deep, crimson blood:

lets play some..hide and seek...

I.....FOUND...YOU

I spun around, and everything went black.

I woke up, screaming, "AGGGGGGGGGG PLEASE NO!".

I sat up in my bed, calming my gasping breath. It had been a long time since I had that nightmare. The one of my parents, in Atlanta. That's where it all happened. My mom in the tree, torn apart, my dad and brother in the cabin, eaten alive. I was supposed to keep watch, but I heard a scream far off. After finding nothing, I had come back too find the grousome scene of my dead siblings.

My eyes and ears cleared of the fog from sleep, and I took a good look at my surroundings. I sat in a hospital room, with the bed propped up against the left wall, furthest from the door. Next too me sat a what I thought was a heart rate monitor, but wit my lack of knowledge, I couldn't say for a fact. The walls bore a dull teal, and the roof brown, sharing the dullness. It seemed familiar. 'Aw, that's it, the one episode of dash in the hospital!' I mused.

I heard a faint tapping noise, but it got louder and louder. If I wasn't so weak, I would facepalm. The sound of hooves drew nearer, growing louder by the second. I cringed when they stopped outside my door, a sudden fear of meeting a pony fell on me, for some reason. I saw the door handle glow cream yellow, and turn slowly. When the pony entered, my jaw dropped.

"Your...your majesty!" I Sid, trying to bow in my bed.

"You may rise, my little human," said Celestia, a wide smile on her face," I have heard from you from Dunar, we have much too discuss" she said, her horn glowing brightly, engulfing me in an orange glow.

"Wait what ar-" I started, but was cut off when the world flashes bright around me, and with a pop, I found myself in what appeared to be Celestia's Chambers. And oh my, was it beautiful. I have read fanfics, and the proved to be somewhat correct, but it was MASSIVE. The bed itself would've fit 10 of me, and party. The walls glowed a heavy gold, along with the ceiling. Too the left, the doors to the balcony stood, draped with yellow curtains with Celestia's cutie mark showing on them. Another door near the bed led into what I assumed was a bathroom, which I could only imagine the size. Dotted along the room were various arrays of furniture, including lounging bean bags and massive dressers.

I stood and shock, mouth agape at the room. Celestia strode up next too me, standing just an inch above me, her horn just above the tip of my skull. "I am glad you think highly of my chambers, Oliver, but at times it can get rather bland," Celestia said in her regal voice,"But that is besides the point, I assume you know of why you're here yes?" She asked, facing me.

"U-um y-yes, your majesty. Please excuse me if I seem off, it's all so sudden!" I said, my breathing becoming labored once again. Celestia frowned, a deep concerned frown, "Do not fret, Oliver, you are in good hoo- er..hands! And please, there are no need for formalities here, I am off duty after all," Celestia inquired with a wink. She strode across the room, and sat in a chair. She guested to the chair in front of her, "Take a seat, we have much to discuss".

"Now, I assume Dunar has told you of your...predicament, if you will?" I replied with a nod, and she continued, "Good, and before you began, you might be wondering why I am not suprised to see a human in Equestria?"  She asked, spawning her and myself a platter of tea, fitted with sugar cubes and tea bags. I simply nodded, and prepared myself sme tea. After all, I was exhausted. "Yes, perhaps I should explain," Celestia implied, setting her own tea, Many, many years ago, a human like yourself came to Equestria, sent by Aleri, the God of Advancement. He sent me a message, explaining what his destiny was, and how important he was to Equestria. It was completely unrelated to your jurneys to come. He was a brave swordsman, and was destined to slay the most foul evil. Which turned out to be Nightmare Moon. After this, he became Luna's suitor. When he died, she was devastated. She has never spoke of humans since then, so be wary and try avoiding her at al-" Celestia's speech (thankfully) was cut short by a booming voice.

WE ARE VERY WELL CAPABLE OF MEETING A HUMAN! JUST WATCH Us ......

~> Luna's Point of View <~

My voice faltered when I caught sight of him. My breath was taken from my throat. I had long since gotten over my pain and sorrow. It wasn't the fact that he was human that caught me backing away slowly, but his appearance. He looked just like Sir Arthur.

I ran out of the room in years, slamming the door shut behind me.

~> Celestia Point of View <~

I wasn't too surprised when Lina galloped away in tears, he did look awfully like Sir Arthur.

"I am terribly sorry about this, your room is second on the left. I need to speak with my sister. We will continue this discussion in the morning!" I said, and teleported away with a POP.

~> Oliver Point of View <~

I was left alone in Celestias chambers. I sat down on the edge of her bed, and forced my kind to reboot. ERROR 301: TERMINAL RESTART FAILED - WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED.TXT COULD NOT BE FOUND.

I blinked, and stood up. I walked out into the hallway, acknowledging the guards, and made my way to my room. The room, as you may have guessed, was much more bland than Celestias quarters, but was still a humble fit. I sighted and dove into my bed. Tomorrow was going to be a big day. Everything was so rushed. I expected to wake up in the Ponyville hospital, and meet the mane six. But instead I woke up in Canterlot, got a huge speech by Celestia, and made The Princess of the Night storm off crying. Not that I was complaining, Luna is the best pony. But it pained me too see her so sad. I would pay her a visit soon....
