Fear Not the Darkness, but Welcome its Embrace

As a young filly I'd imagine different worlds out there, you know the kind with completely different beings or with outer-world counterparts; well I think I just found mine. It was very peculiar indeed because as I looked around everything seemed to be made of cobblestone with hay roofs, but along with that there are stone pillars built among each other. In the near distance I can hear voices, ones with the same accent as the one I heard previously but all different types; masculine, feminine and plenty more. My mane is blowing briskly through the wind and all I can feel is that summer breeze, you can tell its a summer due to the heat and mounts of wheat everywhere. I look forward towards the stone pillar and to tell you the honest truth it feels different; like its as though I feel somewhat taller.

As I look down I freak, I don't know what this is but its scary and I keep on looking at something that feels familiar but yet I have never seen them before. I can move them around and believe it or not, they wriggle and bend like legs but are short, skinny and bony. I take a look back and find I'm wearing a hood, I decide to slip it on to avoid suspicion.

Anyway I should get back to my current situation of where the fuck am I? This is new for me and I don't know anypony...wait I DO know somepony, the individual I heard through the portal earlier. I could follow his voice but I have no idea where it is and how to find it, I have this subliminal feeling that I should go towards the town directly ahead. I can kind of get the hang of walking, but on two...whatever these things are, is very difficult. Hopefully I'll get the hang of it by the time I reach the town, it looks relatively nice with no problems from here; we'll see once I get there, better safe than sorry.

*walks into town subsequently after gazing upon the scenery*

I cannot believe what I am currently seeing, there are...other beings everywhere, little ones, big ones and everypony in-between, except they aren't ponies; so what do I call them? It's all very confusing and I have no idea who I should talk to, come to think of it that individual I heard earlier had a name, I heard it being called out.

It was...Ezio.

My brain started rambling and I couldn't stop thinking, Ezio, I heard that name before; but where and what from? Maybe a dream, or a memory of a dream, anyway I have to get back to my body. I start looking around and I notice some casual differences between each being here, but one in particular wearing a hood but made of leather. I think its leather anyway, the hood is white like mine and rather large; I notice the figure turn so I turn with him...or her, I can't really tell; they, they have a big build so I'm guessing a stallion, or whatever they're called here.

Suddenly he starts running, no sprinting, he's sprinting almost as fast as I could go on four hooves. So I start going as fast as he is going but as soon as I have him fully in sight he just disappears into thin air. He stallion up'd and vanished like a fart in the wind. Great the first lead I get and he's gone, I might as well keep walking/looking since I have nothing better to do...oh wait, I do have something better to do, I need to find a way home. How am I meant to get home with no magic? I take there is no magic here considering how poor everyone looks, that and none of them are unicorns.

The next thing I know, although it doesn't come as a surprise, there is dust everywhere; no matter where you look, but before then there was a loud bang. Luckily I have very VERY good hearing so I start to sense something wrong, it's silent; not even tumble weed, just silence. Then I start to hear steps, not hoofsteps, but steps like the ones I'd been making since I went through the portal. They get closer and closer, then I hear nothing; but a figure jumps at me. I can tell its a mare, or whatever they're called, she has a small build and is breathing very heavily. She starts hoof to hoof combat, but I counteract; when I said that I grew up in a dangerous place I needed a way to defend myself. She acts shocked but begins fighting again and I keep defending until I knock her down.

Soon after I hear a blowing sound, then a pinch in my neck; my body becomes disoriented and I get dizzy. I fall to the ground and start to pass out, I see four other figures; including the one from earlier. Then I fall asleep and dream of something interesting.


Author's Note

Yet another short chapter, sooner or later I'll actually keep my word and type out longer chapters that don't take five minutes to read. This whole chapter should pretty much sum up what is going down and hopefully you'll get the picture.
