Chapter Three: Music And Village

Previous Chapter

I continue walking to the same direction for now thirty minutes, and I see no sign of civilization, no Codyville, adapting the pain slowly on my walking and face, which makes it atleast a bit easier.

I sigh and take my iPad, turning the volume up to max and look what songs I got, and after a small time, I’m listening to the first song.

I smile while listening to this music, always making me happy and giving me a special feeling that I can’t describe, but I didn’t care how that feeling can be called, all I cared was to enjoy for a small time.

I look up and continually see black clouds, not raining, but very annoying that I have turn up the brightness on the pad, making me drain my iPad’s battery much faster, but, it was at seventy percent, so it should work for now...I hope.

After the song ends, I look at my iPad, closing my eyes and taking a random song, and when I played it, it was one song that I hoped that won’t appear I quickly click it away, and put the iPad away, listening to nature and environment, but I didn’t really hear anything, except me walking on the lair of grass, not happening anything, hell, I would even fight with the World of Warcraft thingy again just to get something to do, but I better won’t say that outloud or think that again, it can happen and when it does, it’s a nasty thing.

I am met with an endless lair of grass, not ending, but as close as I was giving up, I looked down, and saw a dirt path, behind me, and in front of me.

Such things could mean, I am walking in a loop or theres just randomly and magically appearing things in this world.

“Echt...Magie” [Translated : “Right...magic”] I think, just laughing mentally at the idea that magic really exists, and just started following the road, soon seeing another sign far away, making me running towards it like crazy, hoping that it would’ve any explanation for that “Welcome to Codyville” but there is no Codyville in sight.

I finally reach the sign, groaning at the distance I walked, and look what it said.

I read it the first, the second, third, fourth, and then fifth time, thinking if that was really just joking.

“Turn around for death, run as fast as you can, don’t look behind you, run!” it said, and being the intelligent man I am, I turn around, and see a fucked up thing in front of me, have I said that I am 7 foot tall? Yeah, that thing was bigger then that, making me scared shitless.

“Tell me, why are you doing the exact opposite thing?” the creature asked, my answer, only a gulp and turning my back on what it was.

“Yap...ich glaub i werd eifach weglaufe…” [Translated : “Yeah...I think I will just walk away”]

I slowly start moving, but feel being lifted by two...claws? hands? I don’t know, but I get lifted up by that thing.

“You’re not going everywhere now, young one, you will tell me why you didn’t do what the sign told, and only then I will let you walk away.” That thing said, making me shudder

“...Tu parles francais?” I said with a chuckle, but I never expected the answer he would say, “Oui, je parle francais, tu comprends moi?”

I mentally slapped myself and sighed, saying then “Ich bin eifach de inteligentischte person, ich mach mini eigeni regle.” [Translated : “I am the most intelligent person, I create my own rules”]

He sighed, and dropped me, saying with a groan “Fine, you can carry on then.* I hear some grumble and muttering, but I didn’t care what he said, all I cared, was coming to civilization, and when I started walking, I walked fast, faster then the speed of light...or that looked so for me at least.

I saw the real village soon though, it was very...different then I have ever seen, I mean sure there were old buildings where I am living, but this what I saw from a distance was just so old that it gave me the idea that I got thrown back into a Fantasy Middle Age living, but I don’t know, right now, this fantasy was way too fucked up for me.

I take my iPad, and check my battery, the screen showing surprising sixty-five percent, giving me a small smile.

I load up a random song, hoping something else then the other song comes on, and I was right, a very different song came up.

Clickie for Song

I am moving slowly into the village, seeing again a sign, standing on it “Welcome to Ponyville!”

“Ah! es isch Ponyville! Nid Codyville!” [Translated : “Ah! It’s Ponyville! Not Codyville!”]

I continue walking closer to the village, giving me one single question, which made me stop, right at the outskirts of the village.

“Ponyville...why was it named Ponyville? Sure, a village full with ponies...what’s the worst that could happen? Techno coloured ponies that can talk English and have Unicorns...holy shit if I continue thinking like that it might get real” I thought to myself, giving some thinking to that, and later just shrugging it off, and walk into the village.

The village itself looked very colourful, and it was...very empty I shall say, no single soul on the streets, as if it’s a ghost town.

I take my iPod, looking at its battery life, seeing that it decreased to sixty percent still much, but I will need to find a charging station at the end of the day, and in a place like this, it can get very heavy to make that.

I stop when I notice that there is something that resembles a notice board, I walk up to it and see if there is something.

“Luegem mal...vermisst...vermisst...arbeiter g’suecht...nix.” [Translated : “Let’s see...missing...missing...workers wanted...nothing.”]

I walk away from the notice board, sighing, hoping that there is at least something to do, because he only had paper money, no gold or silver or something like that, because how much I remember, Middle Age didn’t have paper money, so...it won’t work at all here.

“Wonderful place isn’t it? So empty.” said a voice closely behind me, giving me no private space at all, I felt him very close.

“...Yep…” is everything I can say, that including a loud gulp.

“Turn around and look up at me.” said the voice, and as I turned and looked up, I saw the creature that lifted me.

Personally, he looked fucked up, he should go see a doc if he can fix, his god damn body is one big chaos! It’s like he adapted to every god damn creature there is! Well...nearly...I don’t see a scorpion tail for instance, but...it’s still strange.

“My name is Discord, God of Chaos, and do please, talk English, it’s heavy to understand your...different language with all those different letters and all”

I just look at him, and he looks at me, sharing some seconds of awkward silence.

“So? Will you talk English? Or will have to continue translate every single word you’re giving out?” says Discord, still looking at me, showing no emotion at all.

“I...guess I can speak English.” I say with a german accent, making Discord grin a bit with that stupid accent I got.

“Oh my, you have one strange accent, let me try to recreate it.”, says Discord, cleaning his throat and then trying to talk in a very heavy german accent “I am Discord, God of Chaos...my this really does sound funny.”

“Not my fault that I’m Swiss” I say, looking at my hands and legs, being then forced watching up again at Discord again.

“You’re what? Swiz? It’s already strange enough seeing a non-pony in this land that can talk but hearing that he’s race is Swiz is something really new, tell me, since when were you created in Equestria? I don’t think I ever created hairless apes that can talk, you must be created from nature!” He says fascinated!

I sigh, and then see Discord vanish, and then having something touching me, and as I turn around, I see Discord again, now with scientific clothes.

“Tell me, how was your species created? Where does your race “Swiz” live? How many of your species are there?”

Okay...I think since I’m talking English, might as well think Englisch, and now...what should I answer...I’m sure he will take “I’m an alien” as a joke...but what if not?

I started to shoot out words, always going quieter and quieter “I’m an alien from another Planet called Earth! There are 8 billion of us there, we’re called Humans and we don’t really know how we got created…”

Discord gave me a ‘Really?’ face, but shrugging and saying “Well, I do hope you will have a wonderful place here in Equestria! I will see you soon to talk with you more, you do sound interesting, I will talk with you some more.”

And last word, he vanished, not even giving me time to say ‘Goodbye’ or ‘Have a good one’

I look around, seeing that this ghost town is fully empty, giving me the idea to yell something what I ever wanted to yell, I walk up to a bench, stand on it and yell with full blast “I AM A VIRGIN!”, creating laughter in some homes.

With those laugher, my brain clicked, knowing that there are people here, silencing me, I slowly step down from the bench, scratching the back of my neck.

I walk up to a random home, and knock loudly on their door, hearing at least some steps coming to the direction of the door, and when it opens, I see a...technicoloured horse, staring at me, scared, the eyes of it unrealistically big.

“Aha! I knew there were living things in this village!” I say in happiness, the horse flinching back and slamming the door, locking it with all kinds of stuff behind it.

“Well...it was still a horse, I hope there are real people living here.” I say out loud, and with that, I started to walk aimlessly around the village, and I be honest, it relatively big.

My stomach grumbles, obviously hungry, now, when I come to another part of the village, I see one massive pile of ponies walking around.
They might be not alarmed or didn’t care, or thought that the creature will take some time to come so they can stock up on food

There are lines and lines of horses, and when I cleared my throat loudly, and started to walk into the busy area, I feel and see so many horses looking at me, and there were so many coloured ones, Grey, Blue, Red, Yellow, Green, all colours! And what is up with their hair? They’re all different coloured as well differently shaped! And why do I see Unicorns and Wingy horses?!

“...Can someone! PLEASE! TELL ME WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!” I yell, the horses looking at me, not moving one bit, as if they’re not moving, I’m not able to see them.

“...What?” I say, not expecting them to say, hearing some coughs, hearing then someone screaming.

“It’s a bucking monster!” and the horses go wild, running into their homes and some of them just running to another area, and me, well, I continue standing, not moving, not talking, like if I’m paralyzed.

I try to move, and find out that I’m really paralyzed.
Great...
