The End of the Beginning

Huh? Where are we? We seem to be at some sort of mountain. Wait, what? Are we going to scale the mountain? Well, I dunno. I can make a few guesses though. And, luckily, I managed to keep my Kindle Fire. They also didn't bind my hands. So, I can listen to music, which means I can have fitting puzzle music! YAY!

I know what you're thinking. (or, I can guess.) You're thinking "Why don't you run?" Well, two reasons, one I'll reveal now. It's simple really, this way I can look into... whatever this mountain is, and what relation it has to do with... I guess the Equestrian Armed Forces?

Alright, now let's see. Let's press the play button on my music, and begin.

So, step one. Is there any obvious ways up the mounta-

WAIT WHY IS There a cloth on m....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ok, interesting first though of the day:

"Why do I seem to be in bondage gear?"

Of course, that was my reaction to the fact that I'm chained to a wall. In a dungeon. Luckily, I am clothed and there are no whips or gags nearby. Or creepy monsters.

Yes, that is my mental checklist if I ever get thrown in a dungeon.

Not much to say, really, just your stereotypical dungeon.

Oh, and my kindle fire is still with me. Too bad I cant reach it.

Well, I guess we're gonna have to-

*creeeeak*

Oh look, the door's open!

And there are guards. Yay.

"Prisoner number 087, come with me."

"I'm going to take a wild guess and say prisoner 087 is me."

"Don't get smart. Your trial will be in 15 minutes, and you will be defending yourself. you will be prosecuted by Twilight Sparkle, personal student to Princess Celestia, and will be judged by Princess Celestia herself. Any questions?"

"Yes, will there be a jury?"

"No, there will not be a jury."

"Will I be allowed to roam?"

"Only under guard supervision."

"One more thing. Will I need formal attire?"

"No."

"Thank you. Oh, and can you unchain me? Can't roam around with a wall on my back, now can I?"

"Wait, what did you-"

And he bursts into laughter. I don't think what I said was funny.

"Give- Give me a moment! So, a fatty like you is going to tear down that wall?!"

Oh.

"Hey, no need to be rude. But, you do have a point. NOW BLOODY HURRY UP AND UNCHAIN ME."

"Sorry. But, it's just so funny!"

How long is this guy going to take...

*Click*

"Took you long enough. Anyways, what's your name?"

"My name is Shining Armor."

(oh, and from now on, Shining will be in blue.)

"So, Shiny-"

"MY NAME IS SHINING! GET IT RIGHT!"

"Look, if you're going to talk to me, expect embarrassing nicknames."

"Well, then Jake, glad you told me that now."

"HAH! DEVIL'S PROOF! Back in my world, someone ALREADY HAD THAT NAME!"

"So? they're not in Equestria, so it doesn't matter if the name is taken or not."

....

....

....

DAMNIT HE HAS A POINT.

"Y'know Shiny, I can see us being good friends. But first, I need to get this whole crime business cleared up."

"So, what, are you gonna do it all alone? I'm here, you fool. AND STOP CALLING ME THAT."

Well at least I have help.

"Ok, so where to start? Let's see, the attempted murder is the easiest to disprove. However, since we only have 10 minutes, we can't gather evidence. So, might as well chat. First of all, who is Twilight?"

"Depends. The pony, or the toilet paper brand?"

"The pony. Mainly because it would be weird to talk about wiping you butt with crap."

"Yeah. Anyways, Twilight is my little sister."

"So, what you're saying is that I'm being prosecuted by your sister."

"Yep."

"And you're fine with that."

"Yep!"

"That is creepy. Oh, well, 5 minutes to showtime. So, what's she like?"

"Well, she's very smart, and not very social."

"Well. SHIT."

"Hey, what's that for?"

"She probably knows what's going to happen ahead of time. Which means, I'm dead in the water."

"...Hmm. You really think that?"

"Yeah."

"Well if you're half as smart as you look, you might win."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Twilight's always one to take forever to make up her mind. However, you seem to be someone who can make a decision instantly."

"Ah, so in other words you're saying I have an advantage of wits, as she's extremely technical."

"Basically. Oh, and if you do lose, I can pull some strings."

....What did he just say?

"Ok. Tell me the truth. Why do you trust me?"

"Simple. No one comes to a world not of their own and then immediately starts a fight. And besides that, it's almost impossible to joke after trying to kill someone."

".... Huh. You do have a point there. Thanks for the trust."

"But if you touch Twilly, I will hunt you down and make you wish you were dead."

"Uhhhh.... I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the encouraging words?"

"Well, It's time for you to get going. I'll lead you to the court room."

And so, he got up, and my test began. It would be a test of wits and smarts, and the will to find the truth.

Of course, I could be retarded and it'll be "Walk in, get arrested, walk out, eat face."

But we'll have to find that out later.
