Death is not the end

As i opened my eyes i found myself in a forest at what appeared to be night.

I decided to survey my surroundings, walking around and getting familiar with where i was. It was then a realization finally dawned on me.

I was alive again...

Realizing this, i held a hand up to my face and felt my own skin...

Collecting myself after a few brief moments of just enjoying my original body again, i continued walking through the forest, eventually coming to a strange structure. It looked like an animal sanctuary back on my own world, complete with small creatures and various shelters for them.

Walking towards it, i saw a rather large cave near the main building of this sanctuary. Me being the curious type, i decided to take a small peek inside it. Seeing nothing, i took a few steps inside and heard a very loud snoring coming from deep within the cave, along with a low growling, not wanting to become some creature's lunch, i decided to leave this sanctuary place alone for the time being.

Continuing my journey, i came upon a village, with houses similar in construction to old medieval cottages. Wandering around this strange village i saw a rather large tree that had been turned into the literal definition of a tree-house.

Curious as to what type of life inhabited a village like this, i decided to sit down on a nearby bench, giving my legs a bit of a breather after what had happened.

A few minutes passed and i saw that the sun was slowly rising, and i saw... something out of the corner of my eye, it seemed quadrupedal in nature and strangely resembled a... horse?

Deciding on not to disturb the local populace, i carefully made my way to a nearby gathering of trees and, noticing i was getting extremely tired, settled on taking a small nap under one of the trees, recovering from the events of earlier.

As the hours passed and i snoozed away, i neglected to notice a rather large barn near the edge of the gathering of trees i was in.

After finally waking up and opening my eyes i found myself face-to-face with a creature similar to the one i saw back in the village.

The creature was definitely smaller than the one i had seen before and had a olive coloring to what i believe was fur, the creature also sported a slightly lighter than red mane with a large pink bow in it's hair.

The creature seemed to be very curious as to what i was, seeing as Death said there were no human inhabitants on this world. It kept staring at me and i returned the stare with caution. After a few moments, however, the creature turned and ran in the direction of the large barn which appeared to be it's home.

After the creature had left, i heard  the clopping of hooves rapidly coming towards me and, without time to think, i climbed up the tree and stayed there, trying my hardest not to make a sound.

"It was right around here!" A young southern accented voice said.

"Are ya sure?" An older sounding, also southern accented voice said.

The sound of hooves approaching stopped and as i looked down, i saw the same creature from earlier and a larger one with an orange coat and what appeared to be a cowboy hat. A cowboy hat? I thought to myself.

"Yeah, it was right here! It looked like a... well i dunno, but it looked weird!" The smaller of the two said.

"I dunno Apple Bloom, doesn't seem like anythin's out of the ordinary here..." The larger one replied.

It was then i figured out what type of tree i was sitting in, it was an apple tree, discovering this, i tensed up, remembering that i had a small allergy to apples.

As the two were about to leave, i relaxed and accidentally let out a sneeze, which alerted the two creatures to my presence.

"See? There it is!"

"What in tarnation...?"

The sudden shock of sneezing and being discovered caused me to fall out of the tree and onto my back, groaning.

"Eh... heh... Hi?" I said sheepishly.
