Let the games begin (pt. 1)
Author's Note
Just so you know:
the following chapter is taking place inside the mind of a character. yes, there will be vague moments and seemingly unexplained topics, but that is only because HE already knows whats going on and therefore, HE doesn't need to supply himself with explanations and exposition. Makes sense, no?
That being said, these things will be explained in future chapters. Y'know, when someone who doesn't know requires these things.
Also, this is my first story, it'd be nice if you could cut me some slack. i'm not asking for you to ignore shitty writing when you see it. i'm asking you to respect the fact that this is something i'm trying, and could use some constructive criticism.
Let the games begin (pt. 1)
~~~~~~June 30th~~~~~~
This was it. The last day of my junior year and marking the "6 month" point of the game. I had a beautiful summer to enjoy, then back to school. Summer for me is like, 3 months, so that's enough time to enjoy. I was on my way home, walking at a slow pace. I had my headphones in and was listening to whatever was on the radio. Mostly stupid pop songs. It was about a 40 minute walk, so I had to suffer through the stupid catchy songs. But I didn't let that stop me. I was ecstatic. The hard part was playing the game and managing to keep up my school work. Lucky for me though, I had 3 months off. That's 3 of the last 6 months where I could relax and take it easy, hopefully.
I had somehow managed to make it all the way home without getting attacked. I couldn't decide whether that was a good thing or a bad thing. Maybe something was stalking me. or maybe I've just become paranoid and it was really just peaceful. Never mind. I was exhausted. All of last night was spent doing a mission instead of sleeping. It was one of those stupid missions where you have to protect some important thing while hordes of bad things come after you. Not the best.
On the way down the hill to my home, I noticed the family car wasn't in the parking garage. My mother wasn't home, and therefore I can just relax and play video games for a while, maybe make some nice green tea. I hadn't had that in a while. Upon unlocking the door, I find a note on the stand next to the door
"jay,"
"Gone shopping, will be home by 9:00 8:00 pm. Don't go anywhere!"
I sighed. My mother was always a bit too overprotective. But on the bright side, it was about 3:00 now and that meant I had 5 hours home alone. The first thing I do is go right into the kitchen, and start making some green tea. As I put the kettle on the stove, I begin to hear some noises from upstairs. Not the loud startling kind, but a bit more quiet and shuffle-y as if someone or something didn't want to be found.
"looks like I'm going to need more tea."
By the time the tea is finished, I have already decided I had about two "guests" I could tell from the patterns of the thumping and the number of thumps that they were both probably quadrupeds. Either that or a weird creature with 8 legs. maybe it was a spider? That'd be interesting.
I grabbed a serving tray and put the tea on it. Might as well pretend to be fancy while I'm at it. I put some crackers and some dip on the try as well, arranging them beautifully. Although, a spider might not be interested in my "culinary art". Guess you can't please everybody.
As I was walking up the stairs, I started to make out a bit of conversation. It was a low whisper, but definitely two female voices. Either that, or a weird spider.
"Luna, are you going to help me or not?" One voice said.
"I'm sorry sister, but this technology is so strange." Said the other, followed by some clicking sounds of what was clearly a controller one of my consoles.
probably not a weird spider.
"I need you to help me! Here, you pack those devices, and I'll pack his clothes." Was the first voice again. By this time, i was at the door. And was able to open it and step over to the dresser, placing the server on the top.
"What do you think this is?" came the second voice. Levitating the tower of my computer.
"I think its my gaming computer" I replied, startling them both. They both looked up at me, surprised. "Are you having fun rummaging through my things? You're packing my clothes, so you apparently think I'm going somewhere."
Nothing. They both just stood there, jaws agape. Was I too sudden?
I took the time to examine the two of them. The one on the left was slightly taller. a white... unicorn? Weird, haven't seen one of those in a while. She had a flowing mane and tail of pink stuff. it seemed to be "flowing" but I didn't really feel a breeze. There was something orange on her flank, but I couldn't see it well at this angle. She had a golden crown or tiara of some sort on, along with some golden "shoes" and what I assume to be a necklace of gold, with an amethyst in the crown and necklace. The other one, was dark blue. It was also a unicorn, put this one had black jewelry on with a moon on the necklace. she also seemed to have an image on her flank, but I couldn't see that one either her main and tail were black. I noticed something else though: they weren't players.
"We didn't expect you to be here so early" the white one said. "we expected another hour, at least."
"Yeah, well, it's the last day of school for the year. We get out an two hours early." I responded.
"Why weren't you here earlier, then?" Questioned the blue one.
"After party."
"...of?"
"The last day of school."
She didn't respond. However, that wasn't really the current problem. The current problem was a bit bigger.
The white one kissed me.
She used her front legs to grab me while sitting on her haunches, and she pressed her lips against mine. Her eyes were half-lidded and there was a slight blush visible on her cheeks. Her wings flapped once hummed a little in her throat. She was about to slip her tongue into my mouth when the other one butted in.
"Sister, you can't just have your way with him in the human world, we must return to Equestria. Besides... I CALLED FIRST DIBS"
So it was going to be one of these days.
I just decided to comply, and get this crazy thing over with. Besides, the kiss was actually pretty nice...
"At least let me start the bond: after all, mother will send him away unless we bind him to us"
Uh-oh.
Bonds are tricky. They are usually something I avoid, but I still did my fair bit of research. There are multiple different types of bonds. The blood bond being the most powerful, and most dangerous. The "promise" bond being the most strict. And even the soul bond, the simplest and probably more intimate of all the bonds.
And it looks like they're going for the soul bond.
They either have never done anything like this before, or don't know a lot about polydimentional magics. Maybe both.
"So, where am I going?" I asked. I trying my best to not to sound too interested.
"To Equestria" said the white one almost dismissively.
if I didn't know any better, I'd say I don't have a choice in the matter.
"...and why?"
"to become our mate."
"now? Like, right now? That's a bit too fast of a relationship for me."
"Well, when we finish packing you things first"
"Of course."
"Might I ask, why you are so... submissive about this whole ordeal?" The blue one asked.
"I'm still considering if it's worth it in the long run."
"what's worth it?"
"That's a question for another day." At least she knows how to ask the right questions. "Do I get to even know your names first?"
The white one jumped in on this "Oh! I'm Celestia, Princess of the sun. And that is my sister, Luna, princess of the moon. We rule Equestria together."
I could feel something. Something a bit "not good" within Luna when Celestia said "together". I think I might have a curse to deal with at some point.
"Well I've finished packing, no thanks to you" Celestia stated pointing a hoof at Luna.
"I-I was keeping him occupied!"
Celestia rolled her eyes, "well, shall we go?"
A purple and black portal appeared on my wall, and they began to walk through it.
This is it. I've reached the point of no turning back. I sighed and followed them. As I walked through the blackness, I started to get a headache. A pounding force on my head followed me as I walked quietly through The Void. When I saw the other opening, I could see it was VERY colorful. When I was finally out of The Void, the headache hurt. A lot. It took me a second to realize that I was... slowly loosing consciousness...
Before I could finish the thought, I passed out.
