A Reformed Evil

The sky blew past his hair as he fell from the sky like a meteor, but soon his eyes open and found himself getting closer to the ground. His mind needed a few to catch a hold of what is happening as it wasn't a dream. His eyes go wide as he starts to yell loudly as the clouds flew past him and he started to flail and fall through the morning sky. He tries to think about what was going on, why this was happening as only a few things came back. Him being fired, him getting drunk, and finally him finding a bridge to jump off of. Before he reached it though, a burning yet warm glow came over him as he soon found himself blinded and now falling. Back to modern time, the man keeps falling as before he knew it, he made contact with the ground.

The odd thing was, he felt no pain. Not a bruise, a broken bone, or even a scratch. All he had was dirt around him as he left a decent crater in the ground as he stands up, wobbling. At the time, he was surprised to be alive and would question why he didn't die, but that thought was cut short by a roar of a creature nearby. He looks over as he shudders and sees the creature come closer into the sun. It had the body and head of a lion, yet wings of a bat and tail of a scorpion as his mind races through the records of creatures from his world as his mind stops on one creature, Manticore. Instinctively, he ran away from the creature as he zigzags around the trees to avoid the creature giving chase. As he ran, he felt the claws barely graze his jacket as he runs from it, the trees all blending into one another as he runs, but not for long.

His shoes skid to a stop as he is near a cliff as he pants and looks down. It was a long fall to the ground as he turns around and sees the Manticore now slowly striding towards him, wanting to toy with it's prey as he gets ready to pounce. Before the creature could pounce, a large bang is heard as the creature is sent flying, but the bang shocked the man as he falls over the edge and screams. He screams more as he falls, but soon closes his eyes, not wanting to see the ground coming as he does feel the impact, but the feeling of flying. As he opens his eyes, he sees he is flying low to the ground as he pants and soon feels his feet land on the ground and a soft chuckle behind him. He falls to his hands and knees as the figure is before him.

The figure was females with light blue color body which was weird for him. She had a rainbow colored hair and a tail and wings as her pink eyes met his light brown eyes. He carefully stands as he is standing at her height as he is five foot six. He sees her in a tanktop and cutoff jeans as she grins "Your pretty fast pal, but uh... I never seen a creature like you before. You some kind of pony?" she asks. He just shakes his head as he soon falls on his back as he looks up at her worried look "Whoa buddy! Ah okay just... just wait here!" she says as she flies off before darkness takes him.

As his mind goes dark, he starts to see images, pictures of a war going on. Fire, bodies and a dark voice speaks that says "Free.... us...." as the images of more destruction clouded his mind. Before long, a face appeared more demon then man as it roared and he wakes up. His eyes shoot around to see the white tile ceiling of a hospital as he feels instruments in his body. As he tries to sit up, he feels a wing on his body softly push him back down "Please rest.... whatever happened is over now" the kind voice says. He looks over to see a purple figure, but his mind was so out of it he could only hear and not see clearly. As he listened, the figure spoke again "My name is Twilight Sparkle. I must say, you are quite a hard creature to fix up. Your anatomy is quite unique as well in some aspects and the exhaustion your body went through took a bit to fix up despite the anatomy" she says.

He reaches over as his hand falls onto a book as he breathes softly as the figure shakes her head "I'm sorry for my blabbing, it's just.... your such a unique creature it's just-"

"Human"

"Pardon?"

"You call me creature. I am called human" he says in a raspy voice as he looks at the ceiling. He hears the familiar sound of pen to paper as she stands "I have a question I would like to ask you before I leave you to rest.... what's your name human?" she asks.

He blinks his eyes as the name shifted through fog and came up "Daniel. Daniel Gladesfield...." was all he said as the figure leans forward and softly pats his chest with her hand.

"Rest up Mister Gladesfield.... we will have much to speak of. I hope you get better" she says as she leaves. His mind, more weary then his body, goes as he falls asleep on the bed, the machine beeping the only thing to lull him to sleep.

The next day came, as Daniel was up and moving. His recovery rate surprised the faculty workers as he was already fully recovered. He had already changed as he looked himself over in a mirror of his appearance. He was wearing a charcoal grey jacket that went to his calves and opened in the front to show his suit. It was black color from pants to vest along with a pair of black shoes. Under the vest was a white shirt with a folded over collar and beige necktie that held it closed. His face was adorned with a pair of glasses that had rounded lenses on it in a grey frame. His skin was a Caucasian color, yet slightly paler then normal, but complimented his black shaggy hair quiet nicely.

In appearance overall, he looked just like a man of business or a teacher of some sort as he straightened out his outfit as he hears the door open. He recognizes the color as the woman walked in and had a inch over him as she smiled. To say her outfit was casual was a bit in the ballpark as she had on a loose button up top and a regular black skirt. On her head was some kind of golden tiara that adorned her head as she looks at me with her purple eyes. Her hair was two tone purple with a strand of pink as he smiles. He never met such a woman and yet here she was as he says "Twilight Sparkle? I recognize you from the color, even if I didn't get a good look before" he says. The odd thing that got to his mind was that she had a tail, hell many of the staff members had them.

She nods "Good to see you up and moving mister Gladesfield" she says.

He raises a hand "Please, call me Daniel. Mister Gladesfield is my father" he says. She pulls out a clipboard with questions as he walks over "Why don't we walk and talk? You know, to help me move around and get my bearings?" he asks as he feels another question sneak up on him "Um.... where exactly are we?" he asks.

Twilight smiles a bit "Why your in Ponyville General, a hospital in Ponyville" she says.

He raises a eyebrow "Ponyville? Where or what exactly is Ponyville?" he asks.

She looks at him in confusion "It's a small town in Equestria" she says.

All that did was make his face look more confused "Okay..... this will need a lot of explaining..... and some headache medicine" he says as he rubs his head. He feels the song wing pat his back as he sees her motion to follow for a walk and talk as he requested. This was going to be a long talk.
