Far From Home

Now this aint your everyday story, see this could be about a depressed girl who kills her self and goes to a magical land full of emo band members, but that’s not it. This is the story of a young man, who is transported to a magical land … that land is, Equestria …

The cool autumn breeze was cool on my skin, I loved how it blew threw my short hair and cooled downed my burning scalp. My name is Tristan Glenn, yea, and such a normal name, nothing special here. I’m 6’1 and 179 pounds, so you could say I’m average on that topic as well, but I beg to disagree. I’ve trained myself to box and wrestle, to tackle in football and to hunt. I’ve taught myself everything sports related, but academics wise … you could mistaken me for a special ed kid while your looking at my report card, even though my IQ is 134 . Anyways were was I ? Oh yea , as the cold wind wipes across my face , making my eyes water as I sit on my porch and sip on my drink .

“ God, I really need a social life. I can’t keep sittin’ on my ass and mope around. “ I say defeated in my mental battle. As I stand up I look to the sky and see a dark storm cloud heading to the middle of the sky.

“ Looks like its goin’ to storm.. So much for goin’ out.” I say adjusting my hat and heading inside. As I head in, I see my pitbull , Buster , round the corner and jump up and starts to lick me .

“Easy boy. I aint been gone but five minutes “ I say with a chuckle. Buster was easily my best friend, he loved me and I loved him no matter what. I would give an arm and leg for this dog, but I knew that his time was nearing the end, since I’ve had him since I was 6 . But I shrug that though off and pet him behind the ear’s.

• 3 hours later –

As I put down the remote the TV , I silently curse , I had let Buster out 30min’s ago . When I go outside, I see that the storm has gotten worse.

“ Shit! Buster must be freezing! “ I say grabbing my jacket and shoes and heading out into the storm. Bad idea, I can’t see shit, and Buster isn’t on the porch.

“ Damnit ! He must have headed out into the forest! “ I say heading into the tall dark forest. It must have been atleast 9pm because I couldn’t see shit.

“ Buster!! Here boy! BUST-er !!” I scream frantically for my dog. I keep hoping that he will appear and lick my hand but after waiting for a couple of mins I trudge forward and start to yell.

“ BUSTER!! COME HERE BOY! BUS- Shiiiittt!!! “ I scream as I walk right off a ledge and fall flat on my back, hitting my head against a rock, knocking me out.

-Ponyville,Equestria-

The bright sun shone down on the small of Ponyville as the ponies below went about their business. But in a tree house near the center of town, were a unicorn named Twilight Sparkle and a dragon named Spike. Their names were now through out town as Twilight was the pupil of the almighty Princess Celestia ruler of the entire country of Equestria .

They were going about their daily life of testing spells and writing reports of their activity to Celestia  , that was until a message popped from the gullet of Spike.  After skimming over it , he sat there dumbfounder and shock , dropping the letter he ran to the staircase and yelled.

“ TWILLLLLIIIGHT!!!! “

On the parchment laying in an angle, if one had looked at it, all they would have saw is the word ‘Visitor ‘

-Outskirts of Ponyville-

The Everfree , so majestic , but also very wild . Unlike the rest of Equestria  , were everything was controlled by ponies in one way or another , the Everfree was by all definitions , wild . So it wasn’t all that strange when a random snowstorm was forming.  But this one was different, the weather anomaly, usually confided to the forest, spread to the near by city of Ponyville covering it in snow.  But with this snow came a strange being, one the will change life’s either for good or bad.

• Tristan’s POV  –

Being unconscious isn’t so bad; it’s kinda like a forced sleep. But anywho , with sleep comes dreams , but with unconsciousness  comes nightmares . Be it the time were I shot a through a deer and into my cousin, or the time were my girlfriend Nichol was killed in a wreck with a drunk driver. What it might be, I awoke from my dazed and nightmarish sleep. As I stand up, I notice that my vision is blurry.

“ Great, a concussion, just what I need. “ I say putting my hands to my head in a failed effort to stop the pain. As I look around I notice that I’m still in the forest, but …this forest looked like a jungle with snow all around, which is startling since Tennessee has no jungles. But , deciding not to question it , I stand up and pull out my compass .

“ …. Well fuck this is useless “ I say as the compass is spinning like the teacup rides at a county fair .

In a bout of rage I throw the useless device .

• Outside the Everfree-

In the wake of the snowstorm, a butter colored pony named Fluttershy was tending to all of the animals that were displaced during the storm, using her kindness to get close to the startled animals and help their injuries and such , that was until a strange object hits her in the head , knocking her out cold .

_ Tristan’s POV –

After throwing it , I hear the Thwack! Of the compass hitting something , I walk forward , only to see a tiny horse on the ground , with it’s back left leg twitching … And I could say one thing .

“ Why the fuck does it have wings ? “
