Light In The Dark (under rewrite.)

I didn't know what was happening, all I did know was that I was hurt, and couldn't move. I remember pushing some kid out of the road when he ran in to it. I don't see anyone coming to see if I'm alright. I'm also in a lot of pain.

Am I dead?

"Oh my look at you, I bet you didn't see this one coming did you?" I had no idea who was talking but his voice sounded a bit high and too happy for my liking. As if seeing me on the road unmoving was a everyday thing to him. Why the hell isn't he calling for help?

"Well that would defeat the purpose of us being here wouldn't it?" What was he talking about I don't even understand what going on and why does his voice sound different now. It a bit deeper than before. "That because there are two of us silly" Said the first voice, two of you? I thought in confusion.

"Well two and one can be seen as if two side of the same coin, You know this would go a lot faster if you just talk like a every other sane human being." Sarcasm not what I need right now and talked? But didn't I just get run over by a double decker bus? And how does he know what I'm thinking? "Why are humans so slow" Said the second voice in frustration.

Something grabbing me by my shoulders and pulls me to my feet. "What the fuck..." I can talk again but why. "Okay boy now I'm sure you don't get this everyday so we'll use small words so you can keep up, Understand?" I turn around and was going to give this guy a real ear full. Until I see two cats looking back at me. I can't help but stare at them. What the fuck…

"Weird..." I say without thinking as I keep staring at the two cats that were looking back at me. The one on the left looked kind of cartoony and gave me a big toothy grin. It also had big blue eyes and was covered from head to toe in fluffy purple striped fur. But what I couldn't take my eye's off of was it sharp teeth, Lot's and lot's of teeth.

The cat on the right on the other hand was nothing like the fat looking fluff ball. It had no fur to speak of. It was so skinny I think you could see it bone's. It also had what looked like tattoos all over it body. But the most creepy thing about it was it small yellow eyes and had what looked like blood on it teeth. Did I forget to tell that it had human like teeth?. Ya It did.

"Okay let me start by saying, who or what the hell are you two?!" I said as I can't help but keep staring at them and slowly freaking out. There cats yes, But I didn't understand what was happening as I look around and see everyone around the streat. They were just frozen as if time had just stop for them. And they can TALK!, Cat's can't talk!

I can see half of them looking where I was and the other half look as if there calling for help. But the odd thing was. Everything was in black and white. "A deal of a life time some would say, Here where you can start a new life and go to a new world. This kind of thing don't happen everyday you know?" Said the Creepy cat.

I just look at them what the hell are they talking about.Now that I think of it I should find out what going on. I needed info. "Before I agree to anything I want you, the both of you to make some things clear for me." I can tell by the look on the creepy cat face it didn't like this one bit. But he nods at me as if to say continue.

"Okay silly man with no where to go, what is it that you would like to know?"Ask the fluff ball. I think long and hard as I get my list of questions set up in my head. "One you said I'm not dead then where am I?" I can tell this was one of those question that would not want to be answered.

"Let say before you got hit by that large means of transportation. We did something where your soul would stay here a bit longer, so we can... Talk with you. But Know this if you want to stay here it means certain death." Well that sucked thanks a lot creepy, okay so I can ever agree with these cat things. Sending me to god knows where or I can stay here and die. But I need to know something.

"How badly hurt was I?" I ask as the two of them give me funny looks. One of them give me one of those looks that just say. 'You don't want to know' the other juts smiled. "Let me put it this way, all the king's horses and all of his men couldn't put you back together again, even with help." Said the creepy cat again.

"So in other words I'm fucked." He nods at this as I start to pace to help me think. "What will happen if I agree to all this?" At this the cartoony cat smiles. I didn't like it, It just didn't feel right for this cat to be smiling like that. With that many teeth.

"Well to start with you could be anything you want! A Bird, Wolf, Fox, Minotaur, Dragon, Rat or Cat, why even a unicorn, fish or a mat. But like everything else you'll be naked. It only fair after all, those are the rule's. And yet at the same time there are no rules." Okay so I got some idea of what I could be dealing with, maybe. And getting myself into... I have no idea.

"Anything else I should know before we do this, like where I will be going?" The two cat's smile at me with big grins. "Just three..." They said at the same time. Okay forget what I said before they're both creepy. "If you ever need our help just call out cheshire cat three times and we will appear, Or not at all heh heh"

Just like beetlejuice. Wait why am I getting a bad feeling about this. "And the other two thing's?" I'm not sure I can trust these two. "You will be sent in to a city where we know you will survive and just so you know a... higher power will be keeping an eye on you" Said the fluff ball.

"And the other." Said the creepy cat as if to draw out the words as long as it can. As if finding enjoyment from dragging things along. "Have you heard of a show called my little pony, well we know you have but you won't be starting off in equestria but on the other side of the world goodbye and good luck, you're going to need it."

Before I can say any more everything go dark and I feel nothing. What the fuck really? god must hate me or something. Then I started to feel something flat. And hard and... is it wet? is that a puddle of water I'm laying in? Why am I lying in a puddle? And it... COLD!

I get up on my hands and knees as fast as I can, but as soon as I open my eyes I realize something wrong. I had a finger missing on both my hands as I look at them. Okay freaking out time NOW! Not only that but I had black fur going along my arms and the rest of my body. I feel something new as I look behind myself and saw I have a tail. It had no fur as did my hands and feet. When I look at my legs they were long. And reminded me of a dog's back legs. Also I have a freking TAIL!

Everything about this new body felt different. My ears where bigger that was a given. I could hear the sounds of a city around me. It slowly dawn on me that this was not where those two said I would be. I mean yes it didn't look like a city I'm used to but that not the point. I was in an alley of some kind but it was so dark and I could see lights. Most likely lanterns. Okay I have no idea where I am or what going on and my head hurts. Awesome…

I stand on my new feet and try to get my balance using the wall to help me stand. I see a small window with no light on inside and saw my reflection in it. I looked like a rat but my eyes were glowing yellow. I was a bit creeped out by that. But I didn't have time to think about this. I needed something to wear and a place to stay. Damn it cold I'm surprised I haven't started freaking out yet. Oh wait I am.

So where to go from here, what are my options. I look up as to see if I can see any star's only to see nothing but rock and more lights. That when it hit me I was in a underground city. Okay now I know some what where I am for the time being, Now for part two. Look for something to wear. And maybe eat, food sounds good right about now.

I just thought of something, I maybe in a diamond dog's underground city for all I know. Crap that just means I need to stay hidden. But can this place really be a part of that show? It just looks so dark. And hopeless, No they said this wasn't a part of equestria what could that mean? I can't think about that right now I need to get moving. I really hope I don't run in to a diamond dog.

I stay to the alley's not wanting to be seen or to get unwanted attention. Well speak of the devil. I see rat's in some kind of armor, They were holding a spear each and had sword's on there belt's. I couldn't help but think that their armor reminded me of something out of lord of the rings, Or dragon age. Or It was mostly made out of scraps.

No diamond dog's by the looks of it... Okay so I don't have to worry about digging for gems for the rest of my life. But who are these guy's? And am I one of them or something else? Fuck! I just want to know where the flying monkey I am!?

I Looked out of the alley's to see if they were gone, I look around to see if anyone or thing left clothes out to dry. As much as I didn't like it I'd have to steal to survive. After seeing nothing I was about to go to my next plan of crossing the street when I hear some one. Right behind me, Craaaaap.

"Give me all your gold now!" I felt a three fingered hand grab my right shoulder. I didn't think at this point and just did things... Ya when you know that you're life maybe in danger you forget about talking things over. Or thinking, Or anything else for that matter. I turned and throw my arm out when my hand slammed into it face. I didn't stop there as I grab the rat by the collar with one hand and the side of his head with the other. Then started smashing it head in to the wall.

I stop when I hear something drop to the floor it sounded like metal. It then I let go and it, He dropped to the floor like a sack of potatoes. Oh my god. Oh my god did I just kill some one?!, Wait calm down and check for a pulse it, He might still be alive. And as I put my hand to the rat neck to find it. I was unsure if this would work. Oh god let this work, I sigh in relief I didn't kill him but I stop as I start to think about what the rat dropped.

What I saw was a dagger... "Son of a biscuit..." This thing was going to kill me!?! Wait why am I panicking now? The rat out cold on the floor it's at this point that I see what it wearing. Those boots do look nice, and an evil idea slowly works it way in to my head.

So ya. I stole all his clothes, well not all of them. I left him in his underwear if you could call it that. Damn now that I think about it that was kind of funny and mean, but hey not my fault. He should know better then to mug someone with nothing to take. I'm just lucky there wasn't a group of them. And he had some gold on him. five gold isn't much or is it bit's here?. Whatever it can get me something to eat at least.

I look at myself in what looks like a shop window. My new outfit was kind of run down but I didn't mind. The green and black fabric went well with my fur. And the boots were nice to. I was just happy to have something on my feet after walking around for who know how long with nothing on them. But what about those cats from before and what they were talking about.

Okay let start over with what I do know. One the cat's that I now am starting to think are some kind of alien's have some how sent me in to some kind of matrix crap for shit and giggles. Or this is real and I really did died so…

Okay moving on. Two They said I was sent here but I won't be starting off in equestria meaning I'm some how in the show of my little pony or a world like it, they also said the other side of it. That could mean anything from being outside it border's. To being in a another kingdom. I need a plan.

Three I need a plan... A Really good one.

Four... Fuck it I'm bad at planning with no info that can help me. I'm going to wing it and hope for the best.

Five meet some ponies and make some friend's. Why the hell not.

The more I think about it the more likely I feel this plan is going to fail. This is too much to deal with. "What do you think you're doing outside my shop!" I turn to the doorway and see an old rat. And I mean old... It looked like half his hair or fur was falling out. And he looked a bit ill to. Hmmm, Seeing as how old this rat is he looks like he could use some help maybe I can get a place to stay for the night. Or some info as to where I am.

"I'm looking for work... Do you have any openings?" As soon as I said work with a smile on my face. The old rat gave me a look that just screamed 'I don't trust you' So ya this was going to go well. "And why would a theft want to look for work." The old rat asked.

"Theft? How am I a theft?" I ask in confusion. The way the old rat looked at me was giving me the feeling that I was in trouble. And I didn't know way. "You don't know?" I didn't know how to answer that. So I just made something up off the top of my head.

"All I know is waking up with nothing on with no idea where I am and someone trying to mug me, oh and I knock him out and took his clothes." Ya the old rat just stare at me for a bit. Some how I get the feeling he's going to call bullshit on my story. But then he looks up and down the street before looking back at me. "Get in here."

I'm not sure what going on but I follow the old rat in side. A part of me said I shouldn't of gone inside but what else was I going to do? The door slam shut behind me and I see the old rat locking the door with a lot of lock's.

"You're an outsider I can tell but you're just lucky the guard's didn't find you." Said the rat as he walks to the back of the room. I look around and see that it full of old books and other things like, well the more I look at it the more it looks like a pawn show. There a small fire place to my right and to my left was a lot of boxes. But I was drawn back to what the rat said before.

"What do you mean outsider?" I ask as he looks back at me with a small look of fear. "Outsider as in not part of this city, how did you get in anyway? The tunnel's are all closed off." So I was right about this place being under ground. And I need to think of a backstory so this guy don't kick me out.

Oh who the ell am I kidding, I can't lie to save my life. Well I got nothing to lose so mite as well tell him. "I have no idea last thing I remember was talking to two talking cats, Next thing I know I'm a walking talking rat down here with no clothes on and you didn't give me your name?"

The old rat looked as if he was trying to find hole's in my story. But at the same time was trying to think of anything that may of been what I was talking about. He even went off to look in some of his book's. Damn I wish I knew who this rat was, just thinking of him as old rat was starting to be a pain in the ass, Or should I say tail from now on?

"Give me your name and I'll tell you mine." I can tell by the look in the old git eye he wanted my name, There was both power and weight to his words. So ya I was scared shitless as all hell of him. But what was I to do?. I can't give him my real name can I? No This is a new life a new start and something tell me I'm in for a long ride.

"My name... " But what to be called, let think to all the games I've ever played. And then it hits me a name I called myself on a game called skyrim. Why the hell not I liked that name anyway. Even if it meaning is a bit of a you know end of the world type stuff. It as good a name as any " ...Is Ragnarok."
