Oh great. They've found me. Who you may ask? The people here. Or, ponies, if you want to say it that way. Its only been a matter of time before they found me. Ive seen this world, its colorful, bright, yeah. Not the world i've dreamed of, but decent enough. They've thrown me into the "Queen's lair" Apparently. Where two queens sit in royal chairs. They told me that I was going to be let out into the wild. Do they think im a creature? They soon found out im more than a creature in their world, when I spoke. After about of two hours of discussion, they announced to the village that I was able to stay there. I was made a citizen. Although people judged my of what I was, i was a citizen. But I dont take kindly to racism. I never even said anything about racism back at earth. Telling someone that since they were black, they were idiots. No, I did not say that for a reason. I respect anyone, and everything. But if its something that has done a wrong in the world, You can count yourself out, on my nice list.

Death, Himself

" Zecora? Huh, such a strange name!"

I thought I was dead when I saw the brightness of the sunlight. I smelled smoke, and fire. As I gained conscious I saw that the helicopter we were in, had crashed. In a forest. I looked around to see only some of my teammates scattered around. They looked dead to me, so, I left em'. As I checked for all my supplies, looking for my pistol, then found it in my pocket, I was now the threat. I put it away just in case if I run into any civilians from the Etner city. Although it was likely i wasn't there, because, i was in a forest, not a holographic city. I walked along the path of tree's, searching and searching. Until i found a house, or a hut of some sorts. I walked towards it, not knowing of what was inside. I slowly grabbed the knob of the door, as it creaked open. I was greeted by a loud gasp. I hadn't looked until I hit my head on a pot. "Aah! God that hurt!" I yelled out loud. I opened my eyes to see a, well now as I know, a zebra. It was fully colored, fully functional, and seemed to be strewing a brew. It seems like I interrupted. After about 2 minutes of staring, It asked a question. "You've interrupted my brew, so I ask for you to excuse." It said. For now, I knew it spoke perfect English, for now. We asked eachother a series of questions. Until the last the i remember is turning around, seeing a bright purple light, and then. Darkness. I wasn't sure if i was dead. But i soon found out when i felt doors shut, and hit the ground. I got up, gaining consciousness. Then seeing a pack of what seemed to be medieval guards, surrounding two of the, "Royal ones" Who were both sitting on chairs. "What should we do with it? It just one of the other creatures we've encountered." The blue one said. " "But see, It wears clothing! We haven't seen any other mobile cities with creatures like these either." The other one said, next to the blue one. It was only a matter of time before i spoke for myself, and when i did, they were very, very shocked " "Hey, you mind telling me, Uhh. Were I am?" I spoke out loud. The room making it echo around. They both gasped. As if it weren't worse enough that they were going to throw me out, the guards got more tense. Holding the spears closer to my neck. I didn't move. They spoke silently, the two of them. I was beginning to think that they were going to just kill me. Until i heard them say "weapon". I guess they figured out about my pistol. Although, how did they know it was a weapon? That was my question, until they asked me to show the weapon to them. As i did this, i took short steps. Knowing the wrong move, could get me killed. I revealed the pistol, the guards, now holding the spear that is now touching my neck, gasped. Is this new to them? I couldn't tell, but given that they are using spears, and guards. Im pretty sure they are WWAAYY Behind than my time. After I showed them it. They told the guards to send me to the town. To deal with me. They said something about, bringing me to, twilight? She wrote a note, lifted it into the air, and *POOF*.. It was gone. Crap. I didn't realize that they had, telekinesis. Or teleportation! Now this was getting to weird. And about that, zebra. I'm still thinking, "Zecora huh? Such a strange name."

The Helicopter crash

"Shadow, hey shadow! You ready man?" Fern said. I wasnt all there, since I just had woken up. The weather was breezy, and cold. But you could tell it was a perfect day to either go raiding, or to fly in a helicopter, and chillout. We rarely chillout, so I decided to take my parachute, and the other equipment, one P33c and load it with ammo, just in case. And I was set! We left about two hours later. The delay was caused by the gas we needed to fill it with. And it takes about an hour to get gas, and an hour to put the gas in. It was ordinary, we just took some beers with us, put the helicopter on auto pilot, and sat down. But then, the helicopter shook, when we heard the loudest roar, in our lives. It was like a dinosaur. Or for that matter. A Blood dragon. They decided since they made a game based off of the blood dragon, why not make one. And man, those fucker's were everywhere! You could turn around in the jungle, and see like, five of them at once. Anyway, we didnt worry much about it. I looked down at my hands, and they started to, deteriorate. I didnt feel anything. But, my skin, started to fall apart, the tiny particles flying into the sky. It started deteriorating faster, and faster! I looked at my friends, and the same thing was happening. Under my skin revealed some kind of glowing layer. I then felt itchy, and on fire. The helicopter tilted downwards in less than a second! We all fell towards the cockpit. The pilot got up and shut all doors of the helicopter. And this reminded me of one of the movies I saw. Blackhawk down. And we, us, were flying a blackhawk also. We had no time to think though. A big red beam hit the side of the helicopter, and blew it off. Revealing several burnt scraps. We were several hundreds of feet in the air, going down about 100 feet per second. The Helicopter wing fell off, we were all holding onto the bars for dear life. I looked down, as we were still about 1300 feet in the air, the ground moved, and shifted. After about 3 seconds, The floor disapeared. I gasped at the situation. The pilot was sitting in the cockpit, about to eject, when the cockpit of the helicopter fell off. Like, blew off the heli. The tail of the heli blew off too! We were just all in the middle. Falling now even faster than before, with the less weight. I thought we hit the floor when everything stopped. I looked around, as my teammates were still floating in the air. Little pieces of glass floated slowly in the space of darkness. It felt like there was no gravity. We all floated there. Until. We dropped again, this time, leaving about 2 of our teammates out. They were long gone when they fell out of sight. The wind blowing against our faces. My skin was now almost completely gone. Then. We hit the ground.
