Chapter: One - Through the Looking Glass

Load Full StoryNext Chapter

Shimmering lights all around as I fell, through the rabbit hole I fell and onward to the Looking Glass. I stumbled upon this world accidentally. Was it a sign of fate? I found myself in the shape of a horse.. No, wait, a pony. I spilled out of a mirror that shined in shades of rainbow, and showed my new form. I had wings and now my clothes had manifested to my new figure. A vest and tie now fit a horse-like-body. My body was white and my mane screamed purple. My smile was scary on how happy I was. This was madness to believe this was happening.

It started on a troubling night. The rain washed away sins and brought gloom. Before I discovered Equestria, I lived in solitude and longed for more friendships. As everyday passed by I felt more alone. It must have been my loneliness that called forth such magic. I ran away from life as I dashed through the rain, and that's when it happened. I just fell into what seemed like a bottomless abyss, but I soon found out that it was but a step towards a future. I was now Aviator Shade; a pony of Equestria.

I tried to walk but stumbling is all I did. Walking on fours proved to be a tricky situation. I stumbled down the hallway after exiting the room with the mirror. It seems I was in a castle of white...

There was something coming from the near corner. What to do?! Where should I go?! I scouted the current area I was in. There was nowhere I could go.. Except.. Except the window right beside me, “well, I saw that coming,” I muttered under my breath. I was disoriented from my journey to this 'strange world', and I had wings that I have yet to use. ..Well, there I went, “Oh Shit!”

I went out the window and into more than a storm. In this world it was also night. The rain was but one problem. The other problem was that now I was plummeting to the ground at a high velocity. I flapped my wings, kicked my legs, and whatever to help ease my landing because I knew I was not getting to the ground without crashing. I came to terms that the only way I could have any hope was extending my wings and cruising to safety. I was too frightened to even move to any other position other than my current one. I coasted all the way to a tree where I roughly landed between many branches. But now, I was stranded in a tree at night in the middle of a storm.

I was exhausted, a pony, and wet to the brink of sorrow. Was I going to give up? No! I'd find someway down but with hooves it was nearly impossible. Could I use my wings? Yes. They were miraculously unharmed. The rain continued to interrupt my contemplation. I thought out loud; muttering to myself like I usually did. ( I had a problem self-monologue.) “If I use my legs to perhaps grip around branches.. No. Maybe I can fly to a lower branch?.. Hum.. Yea, right! I'm just too inexperienced with all of this anyways!” This all brought on a sense frustration. This called for a.. 'Leap of Faith'.
