Chapter 1 The Birthday

One wish. Just one wish changed my life forever. There is nothing special about me. But yet the one thing I wished for came true. My name is Hunter and this is my story of how my life as a human ended and how my life as a pony began.

It was my 18th birthday. I was about to blow out the candles when I realized I didn’t have a wish. It took me a moment but I realized what I wanted most was to go to Equestria. I took a deep breath and blew out the candles.

The Mane Six were at Twilight’s house when the flash happened. With a rumbling of the ground a massive purple flash light up the night sky. “Where did that come from?” asked Rarity.

Rainbow Dash replied, saying “It came from the

Everfree Forest”

“ We better go and check it out” said Twilight. And off they set to find the source of the mysterious flash.

I woke up in the middle of a forest. I stood up and looked around looking for something, anything to give me a clue as to where I was. The entire forest seemed to be waiting... and watching. Suddenly I heard a growling coming from behind me. Slowly as not to provoke my attacker I pulled out my pocketknife with Rainbow Dash’s cutie mark on it and flicked it open and turned around. What I saw shocked me to the core. What stood there was impossible. But yet right in front of me was a pack of timber wolves. And not the one’s from earth. These were literal wolves made of wood the only place I had seen these was on TV… on My Little Pony… realization dawned on me, as I finally understood where I was. I WAS IN EQUESTRIA. My wish had come true. This shocked me to the core.But it was what I had wished for. I just hadn't expected it to come true I was abruptly brought back to the present as the lead wolf snapped at me. I sidestepped and got ready to fight for my life.

The Mane Six heard the strange creature long before they saw it. When they finally reached the clearing everypony stopped and stared at the strange bipedal creature battling timber wolves. As they watched it picked up a timber wolf and threw it at a tree. The timber wolf exploded into pieces. “Come get some you piles of deadwood, I have a nice big knife with your names on it.” The creature yelled. But the timber wolf was reforming before their eyes. “Stop reforming dammit!” the creature cursed in frustration.

“We better help it, whatever it is.” Rainbow Dash said.  With that said the Mane Six charged into the fight.

Everything was going from bad to worse until the Mane Six charged in. I threw a struggling timber wolf in the air  and watched as Twilight blasted it. Twilight and Rarity used their magic to quickly defeat the timber wolves. “Thanks.” I said quickly putting my pocketknife away before they could see it.

“You’re welcome silly what else would we have done and ohmygosshyou’renethatmeansIneedtothrowapart-"

Twilight shoved a hoof in Pinkie’s mouth and said “Slow down Pinkie, he can’t understand you.”

Pinkie nodded and Twilight removed her hoof . “Hi I’m Pinkie Pie, what’s your name?” Pinkie said.

“Hi Pinkie I’m Hunte- There was a crunch and all went black.

The Mane Six looked in horror as red streamed from the strange creature’s neck. There had been a sixth, smarter wolf hiding in the bushes waiting to strike. Quickly Twilight blasted it to pieces with the rest of its pack. Applejack walked over and laid an ear on the creature’s chest  and after a few seconds said “He’s dead.”

“D-dead?!” Said Fluttershy

“Well I guess we have to… bury him.” Said Twilight sadly  and then she levitated the strange creature’s body and started back to Ponyville.

As they were leaving Rainbow Dash noticed a flash of color and silver. As she looked closer she saw a knife…with her cutie mark on it!

“What was he doing with this, and… what is he anyway?!”She said annoyed and confused

“Rainbow come’on yer fallin behind” Applejack said

“Okay, coming.” Rainbow said picking up the knife and followed her friends back  to Ponyville.

A New Life

The Mane Six had just put the last shovelful of dirt on the grave. Suddenly a massive pillar of purple light erupted from the ground into the sky from where the grave was. Everypony gasped as the dirt on top of the grave was disintegrated. The strange creatures body floated out, suspended within the purple light. You could feel the sheer amount of magic in the air As they watched the light enveloped the creature. When the light faded into nonexistence a body was gently lowered to the ground. It was a jet-black alicorn with a very strange cutie mark.

They could see his chest rising and falling. His eyelids slowly opened to reveal glowing purple eyes. He said “Oh, hello again.” and passed out.

" I need to write a letter to the Princess."Twilight said in shock

I woke up in a darkened room. I went to rub the sleep from my eyes when I realized I couldn’t move my fingers. Or my toes for that matter. My eyes snapped open revealing hooves  instead of hands and feet “HOLY SHIT I’M A PONY!” I said THAT IS AWESOME!!!!! I then thought. I swung out of the bed  and landed on all four hooves and took a couple of steps.

Wait a minute, how did I do that without falling? I thought in wonder for a minute about how I was doing this. In every fan fiction I read it always took time for a new human-turned-pony to get to be able to walk like I can. So maybe it is just an ingrained bit of information? Cautiously I took a few more steps. I then saw the mirror in the corner of the room. Walking  towards it I stopped at what I saw. I was a jet-black alicorn with glowing purple eyes.  I was distracted from my awesomeness when a strange groaning sound filled the room and something started to appear in the middle of the room. It was dark blue and strangely familiar. As the outline of it sharpened I recognized it. It was the TARDIS. From Doctor Who. WTB is it doing in Equestria? As the doors opened out walked two ponies. As they stepped into the light I recognized one as Derpy and the other as Doctor Whooves.

“He’s important right?” asked Derpy.

“Yes, I think so.” said Doctor Whooves.

The two continued to act as if  I didn’t exist for five more minutes while they talked. In that time I tried various ways to get their attention but ultimately failed. Eventually they left leaving a very annoyed me behind. Still aggravated I turned back to the mirror I noticed something else. I had a cutie mark! And I recognized it too! It was a red daedric symbol for oblivion. It was official. I was my character I had created. And if you haven’t caught on by now I am a massive  brony. What my character’s special talent is to breach the gap between dimensions and enter the Void. After digesting this information I turned my attention to my wings and horn I flexed my wings experimentally but figured that this was probably not  the best place to try to fly. But why not try a little magic? I figured how hard could it be? Focusing on a nearby quill I imagined lifting it. The quill twitched but otherwise didn’t move. I tried again but was met with the same amount  of success as before. Giving up I walked back to the bed and climbed in. I closed my eyes and sleep took me.

Introductions and Questions.

I woke up later to the sound of  voices in the room. Very familiar voices. And one voice I never thought I would hear in person. The voice of the one who kept me going through life. Rainbow Dash’s voice. When I first saw the show My Little Pony, well I fell in love… with Rainbow. Just the way she handles everything with confidence, her loyalty to her friends, and her attitude towards everything. I knew then that no one, no pony else would ever be able to hold my heart. And that I would protect her and make sure she was happy no matter what even if it killed me. Even if I couldn’t be with her I would do anything for her.  When other people shit-talked her back on Earth, lets just say I got VERY pissed off.  Long story short it would be kind of embarrassing if she found out. As for what I knew about Equestria  I figure it is best that I keep that to myself…for now. “Is he awake?” asked somepony, Fluttershy by the sound of it. “Oooh is he  a zombie?!” That was definitely Pinkie. “ Of course not, zombies don’t exist, and even if they did I wouldn’t be scared of them.” And that was obviously Rainbow Dash. An evil idea formed in my head.  I snapped open my eyes and in the lowest, most gravelly voice I could manage I said the cheesiest zombie line I could think of and moaned “Brrrrraaaaiiiinnnssss”

All six mares screamed as I limped out of the bed dragging my left hind leg.  Rainbow flew up to the ceiling but unfortunately for her the ceiling was low to the floor. I grabbed one of  her hind legs and she screamed again. It was too much for me to handle and I collapsed to the floor laughing. The Mane Six stopped freaking out and just stared at me. Finally after I finished laughing. Pinkie started giggling as well. I broke into another fit of laughter alongside her. When the others just looked at us quizzically. Pinkie said

“Don’t  you guys get it? The whole thing was a prank!”

Twilight facehoofed and the rest of the group save Rainbow and Twilight started laughing.

Applejack said laughing to Rainbow Dash “He sure got you Rainbow,  you were terrified.”

“He did not! I wasn’t even scared of him” Said Rainbow

I walked up behind her and moaned “Braaaaaiiiiinnss”

Rainbow yelped and jumped into the air before saying “Very funny.”

When everypony stopped laughing, Twilight said “What is your name again? We didn’t quite catch it the first time.”

“Oh it’s Hunter, but I am guessing  I am going to need a new name right?” I asked

“That’s correct. You are going to need a pony name.” Said Twilight.

“Speaking of names, what are your names?” I asked.(Not that  I  didn’t know but it would be weird if I just suddenly knew their names)

In answer to my question the Mane Six each stepped forward in turn and introduced their selves . After they finished the introductions. I pretended to have an idea.

“I know what I want my name to be!!”I proclaimed

“ Oooooh what is it?” Asked Pinkie.

“Void Walker.” I said proudly.

“Ohhhh, that is cool. Kinda dark, but cool.”  Pinkie said

“That’s a cool name, almost as cool as mine. Almost.” Said Rainbow Dash

“Magnificent darling!” That was Rarity

“Interesting.” Was all Twilight said.

“That’s a nice name” replied Fluttershy

“Mighty strange name but that’s yer choice” Applejack said

As I got out of bed, Applejack inquired about my cutie mark.

“What’s that mean?” She asked

“I have no idea what it means.” I lied

Applejack shot me look that said she knew I was lying before saying

“I gotta get back to mah farm, see ya’ll later.”

“And I have parties to plan soooo, seeyalateralligators!!!”

Pinkie said before zooming off.

“She’s always that random, don’t worry about it.” Said Rainbow

“ I have to go feed my animal friends, so bye Void.” Said Fluttershy as she left.

“And I must get back to the Boutique, but visit anytime

darling.” Rarity said with a wink before leaving.

I felt a hot flush rise to my cheeks and heard Rainbow laughing behind me. When I turned around I saw Twilight hiding a laugh with her hoof.

“So would you be willing to answer some questions?”

Twilight asked pleadingly

“Fiiinne.” I said

“Yes! A chance to study another species. This is the opportunity of a lifetime.” Twilight  exclaimed happily

“Uh huh, you are such an egghead Twilight, anyway I have clouds to bust so see you two later.” Rainbow said leaving before the questions could start.

“So what is your former species called? Asked Twilight

“Humans, and as you saw we are kind of  a mostly hairless monkey and are descended from apes.

“Okay.” She said writing everything down

We went on like this for a while, her asking, me answering.

Questions ranged from if humans have magic to what technological advances did we have. When we talked about computers it went like this.

“So you have computers?” I asked

“Yes, we currently have computers with kilobytes.”

I burst out laughing much to Twilight’s dismay.

“What’s so funny?” she asked.

  “Kilobytes!” I said laughing. “Humans have terabytes.”

I said flatly.

“WHAT?!” Twilight exclaimed

After that she wanted to know everything about human computers and technology.

A few hours later

“Well, I guess that is enough questions for today. You can sleep in the guest room.” Said Twilight.

“Thanks.” I said, climbing back in bed. She left and sleep took me once more.

Cloaks and Magic

Cloaks and Magic

I woke up very excited for the day as it would be my chance to see Ponyville. I practically ran down the stairs and nearly ran into Spike.

“Uh, Twilight who is this?” Asked Spike as he leaned over to get a better look at me. His eyes widened in shock as he took in that I had wings as well as a horn and he yelled “ AND WHY IS HE AN ALICORN?!”

Twilight walked in and just looked at me with that look that said I had to explain everything.

With a sigh I said “I’m Void Walker, who are you?” I asked

“I’m Spike, Twilight’s number one assistant.” He said proudly

“Well Spike, I have a story for you.” I said

[Insert long and boring recap here]

“So you’re an alien who turned into an alicorn, wow.” Was what he said after I finished.

“Yep that pretty much sums it up.” I said

“Well if you’re done we need to get Rarity’s so she can make you a cloak.” Said Twilight

“Why do I need a cloak?” I asked

“Because if everypony finds out that you are an alicorn and a male alicorn as well, they’re going to freak out.”

“I’m going to guess that’s a big deal?” I said knowing it was a big deal perfectly well.

“Big deal?” She said, “It’s a HUGE deal!!! There hasn’t been a male alicorn in thousands of years!!!!

“Okay, okay I get it big deal, sorry I asked. Can we go now?” I asked slightly scared

“Yeah lets get going already.” Spike said.

“You just want to see Rarity.” Twilight said

“Do not! I am just bored!” Spike said

“Uh-huh sure.” Twilight said with a smile

From the way this was going I could tell this was going to last probably the entire trip there so I just followed Twilight until

I heard

“We’re here.” From Twilight

Snapping back to reality I said, “Well this is a nice place.”

“I’m glad you think so darling. Please do come in.” Rarity said as she stood in the doorway of Carousel Boutique and ushered us in.

“So what is it you need made?” asked Rarity

“He needs a cloak to hid the fact he is an alicorn so we don’t have a freak out in town.”  Said Twilight

Rarity went in to a back room and came out with a tape measure and took a few measurements before asking “And what do you want it to look like?” She asked

“Whatever you think is best.” I said

Rarity went into a back room after she finished with me. After a couple hours of talking with Twilight and Spike Rarity finally emerged with my new cloak  and I was shocked at how awesome it looked. It was simple but that didn’t stop it from looking great, it had a hood, was black on the outside, red on the inside, and had a thin purple border on the edges.

“Thanks, it looks awesome!” I said

“You are very welcome, and before you ask you don’t owe me anything it was a gift to a friend.” Rarity said

“Oh, come on I have to pay you back somehow.” I said hoping I could repay her for the cloak in some way.

“Well, I do need somepony to watch Sweetie Belle tomorrow while I go to Canterlot to pick up some new fabrics, could you watch her for the day while I’m gone?” She asked

“Yeah I could do that. What time do you want me to come over?” I replied.

“About twelve o’clock would be fine darling.” Rarity said

“Ok see you then and thanks again for the cloak!” I said as I walked out after Twilight and Spike.

“So, Twilight what’s next?” I inquired

“Well since that took a while I was thinking that I could teach you some magic like basic levitation.”

“Awesome!” I exclaimed

A few hours later….

“Wow, this is the fastest I have ever seen somepony learn to levitate something on their first day using magic.” Twilight said

Yes after one of Twilight’s infamous lectures (which actually wasn’t so bad), and after an hour of practice I finally was able to levitate objects when I wanted.

“Okay it’s getting late and you are going to need your sleep for tomorrow, trust me.” Twilight said

“Ok, good night.” I said before heading to the guest room and falling asleep.
