Chapter 1: what was I thinking?

Ok, where should I begin... oh yeah, when I made a stupid mistake, this'll be sooo easy. now, let's start from the beginning....

I woke up, yawning, stretching my bat-winged limbs, after an entire night of sleeping.

"I hope I don't have too much work today as usual." I looked out the window, and sighed, looking at the statue of our ruler, The One, who is the ruler of the world I live in, called the Underworld, it's nice, due to the fact that I am a demon. I walked to the same broken mirror that always seemed boring and shattered. I still saw that same black fur coated demon, with red eyes. I sighed again and got out.

"Fireheart, so nice to see you, now go to work, we don't want another incident like last time." I saluted, not really caring, "Oh no sir, I certainly don't want trouble".

"Good demon, now, you can work by going to get us all lunch". I almost scoffed, but held my tounge.

"Why can't you get lunch?" He rolled his eyes.

"Fireheart, you are gonna meet The One today, I dunno bout you, but I think I like my head where it is thanks." I gave him a 'do you really think I'll fall for it again?', due to every time he said that, I wind up working anyway.

Thus I said, "Sir, can you not give me sarcasm this time." I then had a, 'I don't want to deal with a lot of jokes because I might punch you hard enough to make ya go to the hospital' face.

"Fireheart, this time I am not kidding... You'll actually meet him today." I almost peed, usually something bad had happened to a demon when they messed stuff up, and then they meet The One.

"I-Inferno, y-you better not be messing with me." He frowned.

"Fireheart, out all the times I have ever joked with you, this aint one of those times," yep, he aint jokin, and I will be in deep, deep hot water.

I am shaking, The One, was my ruler, and I am meeting him, how can i not be scared? I looked around the room I was in, which was huge to me. I was sitting on a red cushion, which was comfy to me, then there was the huge, crystal-like chandelier. There was a stone, granite table in front of me. Paintings of other rulers of the underworld were lined on the walls. I swear I felt my heart drop when the doors open, then, there stood the most fearful, yet awesome ruler of the underworld.

"Hello Fireheart, thank you for coming here, I need some hel-" He was interrupted I fell on my knees and yelled scared.

"PLEASE DON'T BANISH ME I DIDN'T MEAN TO DO IT PLEASE!!!" The One, shaken a little, looked at me.

He started chuckling and said gently, "Calm down Fireheart, I only ask in need of help." His appearance now being a little more friendly started to registered in my head. His grey coat, slick black hair, and gentle, yet fearful blood red eyes.

"Fireheart, I need a favor, as you know, Equestria is a little untrustful of us, and we need to make a treaty," I tilted my head.

" Why me? Why me out of all the other demons out there?" I looked at him, still a little afraid.

He smiled and looked up in thought, "Well, I have heard of your interactions with others, from Euqestria. You have the best experience."

I blink a few times, The One who ruled the underworld was telling me to go on a possibly dangerous mission to an unknown area in which I was to go to make a negotiation. I stood up, and saluted.

" YES SIR RULER SIR!" He puts a hoof on me.

"just call me by my name, Haigia, now go, go to two princesses named Celestia, and Luna, negotiate, then report back to me, clear?" I nodded and sped off, almost about to explode with the smile I have, which faded, I had no idea where Equestria is though. I walked back and asked feeling embarrassed little.

" Say, Haigia, where is Equestria?"

He chuckled, and said in his gentle voice, "Equestria is near out gates, go through them, then the forest, and you will be in Equestria, they might not see you friendly though, so be as quiet as possible." I nodded, and walked off.

As I was walking, i thought of something, what if they don't accept me at all? I shook my head, oh Fire, why are thinking about this, they might be friendly, they ponies after all. I kept walking, but stopped, thinking again, then again, they don't know anything about demons like me, they might capture me, torture me, or worse, kill me! I slapped myself, literally. FIRE!!! You were chosen for this kinda stuff, you should demon up. I looked at the gates, they were standing tall, strong, and fearless... if that makes sense. Oh well, let's do this
_______________________________________________________________________________________________

I swear I am about to scream, the guards at the gate were skeptical and it took a meeting with Haigia to convince them that I am not smuggling anything. They even hit me with a friggen pipe, i dunno where it came from but they had one. When they interrogated me because they thought I was some sorta spy. When they found out I wasn't, they were as pale as the moon. They practically begged me not to tell Haigia, I was very tempted to though. In the end, I forgave them, they were doing their job after all. The thing that bothered me though was that I was hit with something that seemed silly, but hey, it made me chuckle. The bump on my head hurts though. They gave me some weird medicine though... I decided i shouldn't bother about it, the guards are always weird. I sometimes think that they are insane and that they might have stolen something.

I walked out to the Overworld, aka, Equestria. I took a deep breath and screamed so loud, I swear someone from the huge castle on the mountain could hear me. I walked down a path in a forest, it wasn't too bad, but then, I heard howl in the distance, I think my heart stopped. Two timberwolves were circling me in 5 minutes, one thought occurred to me, what in the actual hell was i thinking? What, in all of, well, Equestria, was I thinking. I was petrified, but I was holding my ground. I growled, my eyes turning cat-like.

"COME AT ME DOGS!!!!!!" That was a mistake, one timberwolf charged at me, but before it struck me, I jumped up. The timberwolf accidentally ran into the other, which made that one angry, and he tried to headbutt the other off of him, but he failed, which made his situation worse than before. I couldn't help but chuckle, they were idiots. I clamped my mouth shut, because then they glared at me, snarling. "Oh boy, well it was fun being a pray and all, but i gotta go... so see ya!" With that, I ran like hell.

I stopped, I am almost lost in this forest, that and it freaks me out. Stuff is moving, living, and growing on their own. I wondered what it looks like above. I then, smacked myself in the face, I had wings... I have friggen wings... Why didn't I think of that before? Oh yeah, I was being chased by malicious wolves made out of toothpicks. I flew up, and sighed with relief, there was a village or town, or something like that. I went there, and when I got out and into the streets, I finaly realized it was night time, and when I figured that I could walk around for a few minutes, looking at everything. I looked around this weird town and found out that this town, is problably the weirdest, strangest place I've ever been. I even made a note to ask these ponies what the actual hell they did with the town. When i got to what looks like the entrance, everything went black.

I felt like I opened my eyes, no, I am in a dream. How do I know, well I know for one, that physics does not let me hang upside down on the moon, looking down at everyone. I look around, I was in a lucid dream? "This is... weird." I looked around again and saw two figures, one was weirdly shaped and the other was an alicorn.
