Equivalence of Two Worlds

When I woke up, I was greeted to a battered body, and a rather light head.

"I must have bled quite a lot…" I thought out loud.

Someone – or something – must have heard me, as I heard footsteps coming up a set of stairs. However, something wasn't quite right with the footsteps. I wasn't able put my finger on it though, since my brain wasn't exactly working at full efficiency.

Before I had a chance to puzzle over it for too long, I heard a young, female voice say "I see you've woken up."

I opened my eyes for a split second before I closed them again from sheer pain. "Oww…" I exclaimed.

From the tiny, blurred glimpse I got, there were 3 figures. One pink, one lavender and one blue and rainbow coloured. I also noticed that the colours were more vivid, more cartoonish. It just didn't seem real.

I tried to sit up, but I was interrupted. "Don't sit up! You need to rest, you were bleeding for quite a while."

"At least that answers one question!" I thought to myself.

"Where am I?" I asked.

"You are in the 'Golden Oak Library'." The voice answered.

I didn't recognise that place. Yet, for some reason, it seemed familiar. Maybe I had visited this place in a dream? I don't know.

"Where is that?"

"In Ponyville."

"Ponyville?" I scoffed. "You're having a laugh!"

"Nope…" said another female voice."You are in the one and only, Ponyville! Guarded by yours truly." She said proudly.

"You definitely are!" said another voice, full of excitement and glee.

Then the truth smacked me in the face like a fish.

"You mean I am in a land full of talking Ponies?"

"And Pegasi and Unicorns and Alicorns…" The third female continued.

I chuckled. "Of all the weird dreams I've had lately, this is by far, the weirdest." I fell asleep with no recollection of this encounter.

When I woke up again, it was already night. I could open my eyes again, and my head didn't feel as light, but I still felt fatigued. I subconsciously recognised this place and knew this was not a dream.

I saw light shining from the stairs, and still half asleep, started to walk down them. I fully awoke to a bunch of feathers in my face from an owl.

"AAAHH!" I yelled.

"WHOO!" The owl hooted.

"Owlowiscious!" said a worried female voice

"Owlowiscious? I never haven't heard that one before!" I thought to myself.

A lavender coloured unicorn came to the bottom of the stairs.

"You are a-a unicorn?" I said in shock.

"Yes, why is that surprising?" the unicorn asked.

"A talking unicorn?!" I couldn't believe what was happening. I had fallen off a bridge, and suddenly I saw everyone as a pony.

"Well, yes. I am." She said in an irritated tone.

"And you're a talking earth pony".

"I'm a WHAT?!" I exclaimed. Never in my entire life had I heard anything a preposterous as that.

"If you don't believe me, go look in the mirror." She said in a surprisingly calm voice.

I continued down the stairs, apparently on all fours, but at the minute, I couldn't care less. At the landing, there was a mirror. The second I looked at it, my jaw nearly hit the floor.

Inside the mirror, there was a charcoal black pony, with dragon green eyes. He also had a navy blue mane with a lightning yellow stripe, and a matching tail. This disproved everything I believed in for the whole of the 13 years of my life.

"Tell me this is not happening…" I asked, depressed at just how crazy everything was

"Sorry?" the unicorn said.

"Tell me I'm just going mad…"

"Well, this is definitely happening, and I'm pretty sure that you are not going mad."

I groaned.

"What's wrong? Are you disappointed that you are an earth pony, or that you are a pony in general."

"The latter…" I replied in a sad voice.

"Come…" she invited me. "I am sure you have a lot of questions."

She then cleared the table of her books. But it's how she cleared the table. All the books and scrolls started to get a shimmering lavender glow around them, before they started to levitate to where they came from.

"How- how did you do that?" I stammered.

"Magic."

"But magic doesn't exist!"

She turned around, looked like she was deep in thought, them started grinning.

"Magic doesn't exist, does it?" She asked me rhetorically. "Well then, how do you explain this?" Her horn started to glow with a lavender tint, before me myself started to glow.

"Oh no…" I said quietly before I started to levitate. I wouldn't have minded that, but when I started to turn upside down, then I minded.

"AAHHHH!" I yelled, in surprise

"Ok, ok! I admit. Magic seems to exist!" I yelled, in hope that she would put it down. Apparently, that was enough for her, and she slowly put me down. "First of…" I asked. "Who are you?"

"My name is Twilight Sparkle, and the little dragon over there is Spike." She said pointing to a basket with a purple dragon with green spikes, snoring peacefully away. "Spike helps me during the day, and Owlowiscious helps me during the night. I think you accidentally met her."

"Indeed I did." I replied.

"Anyway, what happened back there?" I asked

"Back where? Oh yes, 5 days ago."

"5 – days?" I asked "Have I really been out that long?

"Yes, or 6, in 3 hours."

"I wonder if they started searching for me yet?" I wondered. "I wish I could just be human again…" I saw a bright flash. Then came a wave of extreme weakness, before I collapsed.

"What in Equestria?!" I heard Twilight shout, before I passed out. Again.
