                                                   Chapter 1: Waking up to a Dream

Alright, where do I even start? I guess an introduction would work. My name is Danny, I'm your average dude with ADHD, and a case of "Paying attention to everything but what was important nine times outta ten" as well as usually being "Out of it", Although I guess it IS kinda hard to be "Average" with ADHD. Ah well!

But all this mostly changed on that fateful day when everything was turned upside down, changed, shaken well, and then turned right side up again. This started one dull day when after feeling uncharacteristically sleepy(Not the kinda "Out of It" sleepy like I usually was, but the "Suddenly a nap sounds really good right about now" kinda sleepy) I took an unscheduled nap the woods near where I lived (Cliche am I right?) and started having strange dreams of stained glass platforms and a strange voiceless voice saying something about "Being the hero that was needed" and other strange cryptic things. After being given a strange glowing orb of some sort, I woke up and attempted to wrap my head around the strangeness of it all, I got up and picked up my trusty walking stick (A random sturdy branch I had found, good for whacking stuff and it even had a sharp end for jabbing) and was about to head home when something caught my eye. There, not a few feet away in the side of a large hill, behind some bushes (for effect?) was a small cave that seemed to be calling my name. I stood there for awhile at war with my self. Should I give in to my naturally curious nature and take a quick peek or ignore it? Ha! Like that was really an option for me! I live to explore. I am forever wandering off to look at something and this was no exception. I immediately crawled into the opening and poked around. Suddenly, the ground in front of me gave way and I found myself tumbling through empty space.

I must have blacked out at one point as I found myself waking up to find that I had been dumped into what seemed a mountainous area, I slowly got up and found myself, for the second time today, shaking the cobwebs out of my head. I was reaching up to rub a tender spot, when suddenly I noticed my hands were replaced by...were these hooves!? I looked around in a growing panic trying to find something with which to see myself in. My frantic gaze fell on a small pool of what I guessed to be rain water. I quickly scrambled over and peered at its calm reflective surface. The face that stared back at me was...bizarre. What stared back was an equine-like face with large eyes and a small snout. The strange new features didn't end there! I now also had a horn that stuck out of a messy (Somethings never change I guess.) red mane that had streaks of orange. My coat was kinda pale-yellow while my new tail was a deep sky-blue. And did I mention the wings? The wings had to be one of the more freaky new additions to my anatomy, they were medium sized and the same color as my coat. Needless to say, I kinda freaked a bit. But I didn't get much time to freak because suddenly my new ears perked up (A weird sensation for one who was not used to it.) at a noise behind me.

I realized that I suddenly wasn't exactly alone anymore.
