Venricks new life in Equestria.by StormChaptersPrologueChapter 1Chapter 2Chapter 3.Chapter 4Prologue"I am confident that it will work Twilight. Just have faith in yourself and it will happen" "Ok...I believe." Princess Celestia and Twilight Sparkle stood in front of the School were Celestia teaches her magic. for Twilight to continue her studies with Celestia, She had to show the school board what she has learned and what Celestia has been teaching her. They made their way to the classroom that Twilight had to show what she has learned. Three Ponies were sitting in front of a desk and surprisingly Twilights parents were sitting in the back. They waved to her with a smile as they were here to support her. She smiled and waved back as she stood up on the stage, Celestia walk over to the judges and sat down beside them. "good morning princess." they said with a smile and a bow "good morning" she simply replied. the judges looked up to twilight and one cleared their throat. "Alright, let's begin. Twilight sparkle, please come to center stage." Three ponies were sitting in a classroom with Princess Celestia sitting beside them. Behind them were Twilights parents. Twilight was nervous. It was her third year as Princess Celestia's student and did not want to big her a bad reputation by failing her presentation. As she trotted to center, stage she looked at her parents who smiled and nodded, She smiled back and took a deep breath. "When you are ready." one of the judges said. "Good morning everypony. As you know I am Twilight Sparkle and my presentation will be on galactic space travel" The three judges looked at each other and back to twilight with confused looks on their faces. She cleared her throat and continued. "Galatic space travel is where we are able to travel to a different world in an instant...well, theoretically. I've been studying this for the past six months and believe I am able to open a portal on another world." "Ok, well please show us Twilight this...Space travel." Twilight's horn begins to glow and a purple aura begins to glow around her horn and her body. Papers, curtains and the ponies hair being to blow in the wind that circled around Twilight as she began to float in the air. A purple magic seal began to circle around her and move forward in front of her and magic starts to move clock ways around the seal, Sweat started coming from Twilights forehead as she focuses all her energy into this spell. The ponies in the room except Celestia was getting nervous from the amount of power that was serging in the room. Her parents held each other while staring at the spectacular show of magic. Twilight's mother whispered "come on Twilight, you can do it, sweetie." A purple portal fully forms in front of Twilight. She smiles at her victory, but her celebration did not last long. Purple lighting started to spark from the portal and hitting in random directions of the room. the sound of the wind whipping around Twilight and the loud cracking of the lighting scared the judges as they saw the concern on Twilights face "You can stop now Twilight!" one of the Ponies shouted. "n-no! I can do it!" Twilight replied as she closed her eyes trying to use all her focus on portal to stable it, but she failed as the papers and loose objects around the room started going into the portal. The judges and Twilights parents took cover behind chairs and desks while Celestia had enough, Her horn glowed a golden aura and onto twilights forehead. Twilight's horn began to flicker with magic and then stopped. She flew over the Twilight and put her wings around Twilight as she collapsed into her wings and passes out from exhaustion. She looked back at the portal. it was closing in on itself and started to tilt facing up. Celestia's eyes grew wide as purple light started coming out from the magic seal. She turned her head to twilights and closed her eyes as pure magic shot from the portal into the sky with a pure bear for a couple of seconds before closing in on itself to just a pile of paper and a couple of lighting strikes to the floor of where the portal hovered. "I-I'm so sorry Princess Celestia...I..I thought I could do it" Twilight whispered to Celestia as she was regaining her strength to stand while resting on Celestia's chest. "It's ok my pupil, for a minute there I thought you actually had it" she replied, nuzzling Twilight. The rest of the ponies in the room came out of their hiding places and looked at Twilight. "W-with recent..events that just happen..we will let you continue to stay at this school...however, please stick to spells that are more in reach of achieving." one of the judges say as they dust themselves off. Twilight smiled "I..will try next time" Her and her parents were outside of the school with Princess Celestia. Twilight looked at Celestia. "so...were do you think that beam went to?" "I do not know Twilight. Though, where ever it goes. I hope it doesn't cause any trouble to anypony or..anything that comes into contact with." Celestia looks up in the sky in the direction the beam shot thinking were that beam will go, what will it do or what it can do. Twilight looked up with her and wondered what could possibly happen. did she just send a destructive beam that could obliterate anything in its path? she frowned at the thought of it. "Celestia, I hope it does not hurt anypony, I didn't mean to hurt anypony." "I know Twilight..I know" Author's Note I am aiming for this to be my big project.

Chapter 1"YOU WILL NOT GET AWAY WITH THIS NORGRAL!" "Oh, but I have! Your forces dwindle while mine rein supreme, Bastion!" Two men stood on top of a hill. one had a black shirt and jeans with gantlets, vambraces, greaves, gorget that had pauldrons and a bevor connected to it that sat on top of a poncho. He also was six feet tall with long dark brown hair and tan skin. The other wore a full set of black knight armor with a yak skull painted on it. He had short black hair and was pale. Below, men and women dressed in leather armor to plate armor fought each other with two flags being carried by people. one was blue with a yellow outline and an anvil on it that had a hammer laying on top. the other was black with red outline and a yak skull on it with blood dripping from the mouth and eyes. Bastion lunged forward with a metal pole staff, hitting down on Norgral's shield. Norgral counted by swinging his mace up towards the right side of Bastions ribs and making contact. Bastion yelled in pain and leaned to the side he got hit, dropping to one knee. He was not going to give up as he hit Norgral on the knee and made a roll to the right as he saw Norgals mace come down just barely missing him. Bastion gets up and swings his polearm to Norgals back, one, two, three, four repeated hits to his back and jumps back when Norgral back swings at Bastion. Norgral charges towards Bastion, Bastion didn't have time to react and Norgral swung his mace down on Bastion. Bastion fell to the ground and got bombarded by hits with the mace. Bastion went limp. He drew one last breath. "I...will be revenged...wait and.see" with that Bastion died. "oh, I'll be waiting, and when they come. I will mow them down like the people before you" Norgral laughed and leaned down grabbing Bastions metal poll and faced the fight down below. "MEN AND WOMEN FROM ZORA I HAVE DEFEATED YOUR CHAMPION!" The fighting stopped as all the people watched, some in horror, and some cheered. The cheering grew as Norgral held the staff. "aaaand that's game!" a man yelled wearing a yellow and red cloak with a clipboard. Everyone stopped what they were doing and clapped and talked among themselves "wow that was a great game, huh." "you nearly got me there Mark." "Damn we nearly had you guys" Nargral walked over to Venrick who was playing dead. "hey Venric, It's over now you can get up." "Aww but Steve I'm comfy," Venrick said with a smile with his eyes closed "yeah, yeah. Get up." Steven grabbed Venrick's hand and pulled him up. "Two more hits and you would have had me ya know?" "Really? didn't you get your alchemist friend to give you a buff?" "Nah, he died ten minutes into the first game and had to leave to drop off his girlfriend at the train station." "Ahhh fair enough." They kept talking as they made their way to a building where tents were set up. They were at a LARP event. People dressed in fantasy clothes and armor walked around drinking and talking to each other as they day closed to an end for it was the last day of LARP and everyone was heading home. An older man walked up to Venrick and put his hand on Venrick and Steve's shoulders. "hey guys, great game. It's a shame that Venrick is gone now, Whats your new character going to be?" Venrick smiled and laughed. "hahaha, yeah I was thinking of a Dwarf because of the free mining and blacksmith trait. Could start up shop and be a townsman." Steven gave him a smug look. "thinking of being a townie after I kicked your ass?" "pfft, Nah. Just wanting to do something besides running around killing people. Just for that you are gonna pay double at my store." The 3 people laughed and the older man spoke up. "that would be good, we do need more people being townies so the city could look more lively. Well, I gotta go. The misses wants me to take her out to the movies tonight." The man took off waving at the two and they returned a wave. Venrick and Steven packed up their tent and sleeping bags with the help of other LARP'ers who slept in the same tent as them. "hey, that was a fun game. So when do you think is going to happen since the all mighty Venrick is dead?" Alex said, who is one of the LARP'ers. "I don't know, I think you guy's will find someone." Venrick replied. "Ya think Leona could be the next champion? She's really good with that sword and shield." Ivan said while packing the tent into the bag with Alex "That would be sick to see," Venrick said with a smile and a small blush on his face. "Ya only saying that because you have a thing for Leona," Steven said as he pack the tent stands into a bag. Everyone except Venrick was laughing. A red blush went along Venrick's face and put a finger to his mouth. "shhh, quiet you." Steven laughed harder. "It's ok bro, everyone knows it." "wait really?!?" everyone around the now packed tent nodded. "I think Leona knows as well." The Alex said. Venrick sighs and looks down in defeat. "Well that's just great, think I need to find another LARP group." "It's ok bro...It' ok." Steven said as he patted Venrick's back. They made their way to a little opening that served as the car park were Venrick's car seat as they held the tent gear and sleeping bags. It was a blue Camry Sportivo and It had a few scratches along the side, back, and a small crack at the bottom of the windshield. "We are the only ones left in this car park eh? huh, So, you wanna do HJ's run? Or you want to come back to mine and we could play on the PS4?" Steven asked. "Both sound really good right now," Venrick replied as he walked to the rear of the car. Venrick opened the boot of his car. it was filled with empty bags for their armor to be put in and the odd thing here and there. Like a longboard, an Akubra that has seen better days, a native American quilt just in case it got cold through the night, and a red duffle bag filled with a empty water bottle, snacks, Venrick's phone, wallet, charger and a portable solar charger. ' Venrick and Steven looked at the boot with all the stuff. "alright, I'll take all the crap out while you put the tent and sleeping bags in alright?" Venrick said while looking at Steven, Steven nodded in response. Venrick grabbed the board and Akubra out and places it on the ground. Steven put the sleeping backs in, Venrick grabbed the quilt and duffle bag. As Steven put was putting the tent in the boot, Venrick grabbed the empty water bottle from the bag and went off to fill the water. As Steven got the tent into the boot he grabbed some bags and walked over to Venrick's stuff and started taking off his armor. "Man wish I could keep this on, so cold today," he said to himself as he unbuckled his gantlets. Venrick started walking back to Steven drinking out of the bottle. He looked in the sky at the white clouds that were drifting slowly in the wind and admiring the blue sky when he saw a small pink dot in the sky. "what the..." he whispered as he started to get bigger at an alarming rate. It was coming straight for him he thought, but, it wasn't. It was actually going straight to the car. "STEVEN, RUN!" Venrick yelled as he ran towards him. Steven looked at him weird "Dude, what's goi-" KABOOM. Steven looked up and saw a pink beam heading straight for him really fast. His face was in horror and couldn't move due to being scared. To Venrick, everything was slow motion as he sprinted towards Steven faster than ever in his life. He put his hands forward and leaped towards Steven, jumping over his things. The beam was 6 feet above them at this rate, Venrick made contact with Steven and pushed him out of the way while mid-air. As Venrick pushed him, Steven looked over to Venrick still with a scared face and tears slowly coming out of his eyes. Venrick looked into his with tears and silently said "farewell." As the beam hit Venrick and his things. Steven closed his eyes because of the brightness of the beam, as Steven hit the ground he could smell burnt dirt and still feel Venrick's hands on his side. he slowly but surely knelt up on one knee and open his eyes. Venrick and his stuff were nowhere to be seen and when the beam hit was burn marks on the ground that made a spiral shape to the center and some sort of runes around it with odd markings. Steven looked around "Venrick....Venrick where are you.." He got up and walked over to his car and leaned against it looking around the dirt car park. "Venrick?.....VEEENRIIICK!" Steven cried out but no response. Steven slid off the car and onto the ground softly weeping, a group of six People started to run to the car park and could see Steven on the ground. "Steven! Steven what happen? We saw that thing, where is Venrick?" Alex asked while he ran and knelt beside him while everyone stood around Steven. "He...he pushed me out of the way of the thing...he was right there...can you find him?" Steven pointed to the burn mark on the ground, was clearly in shock as he believed Venrick to still be here. "We...will find him..You go and lay down." He helped Steven into the passenger seat of Venrick's car, him and the rest looked at each others with concern faces knowing what really happen to Venrick. One broke down crying and the rest gave them a group hug. "He will be missed.." Alex whispered with tears starting to roll down his face. Author's Note Edited by: Quillo Manar Well, that was a rollercoaster of emotions. I really hope you enjoy this because it really makes me happy if you comment and give it a like. Catch'ya in the next chapter and have an awesome day/night! Chapter 2( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCHIAVqVKyA This is to listen to for the first two paragraphs) "Am I...dead?" Venrick said while drifting in a black abyss, still wearing his LARP gear. His voice echoed as if he was in a cave. His eyes stared up into the black nothing and his things floated next to him. His body felt numb, painless, and somewhat blissful. He felt completely relaxed and not afraid of his situation. A sound of a chime rang throughout the abyss as a small star appeared in his field of view, his body tensed as he saw it. Another chime that came with another star and then more and more little stars started to appear all around him as he felt like he was in space floating in the eternal expansion of the universe. he blinked his eyes and when he opened them he was standing up on a white floor that radiated a white glow with his things piled up next to him with the bag on the bottom, quilt, board, and hat. In front of him was his friends Steve, Alex, and Ivan, but...they were faded as if they were ghosts. Steven spoke up. "Hey Venrick, let's go out and walk around Surfers. I'll get ya lunch." Then Alex, "Hey babe, introduce me to that guy over there. He seems cute." Lastly, Ivan. "Hey bro, Even though we aren't blood-related, to me you are a brother." Tears swelled up in Venrick's eyes as he saw them all standing there with smiles on their faces and looking at him. "God....damnit.." He fell to his knees and started crying and put one hand into a fist and started punching the white floor harder and harder with each punch until he felt exhausted and yelled in frustration. He fell to the ground and whimpered softly. "Is this what the rest of my eternity is going to be, Seeing the friends I can never see again?" He closed his eyes again tightly and kept whimpering on the ground. "What are thou creature?" A voice echoed as a dark mist approached Venrick, Venrick shot up and took a couple steps back from the mist in horror. "A..human...what in thy world is a human doing here." the voice had a curious tone to it. "your kind was wiped out from this world a long time ago, how could thy be alive!" Venrick held his ground "what are you, and what do you mean the only one left?" The mist cleared and what stood before him made his jaw drop. A tall pony that came to his neck stood 10 feet away from him but it had a horn, wings, and its mane and tail were made of a dark blue mist that had stars in it. She wore a crown, chest guard and what he assumed were the equivalent of glass shoes. "Thou kind has been dead for more than two thousand years, we were surely confident that no human still existed." The pony looked at Venrick's friends that were standing there smiling at him as is nothing is happening. "are thou humans thy friends?" "y-yes...they were my friends before..well, this." He threw his arms up to show the night sky with stars and the white floor. The pony looked around the sky and smiled softly "Does thou adore the night sky?" "um...I guess, why do you ask?" "well, thou are dreaming of this place." the pony raised a hoof to the sky "D-Dreaming? How could I be dreaming, I'm dead. I pushed my friend out of the way and got hit by that thing and died!" Raising his voice and walking up to the pony and stopping three feet away from her. "Thou is still very much alive, you see. We come into the dreams of ponies that needs guidance and help them...but, for some reason thy was able to come into thou dream. For thou mind was begin to be helped and guided so thy came to help. It is strange that we were able to come into thou mind, this is very strange indeed." Venrick looked down with eyes wide in horror and his knees began to shake, his gauntlets rattle as his hands also shook. "I'm..still alive? This is a dream? I've got to wake up, I need to wake up so I can show everyone I'm alive!" Venrick proceeded to punch himself in the face and tried as hard as he could to wake up but no matter how hard he tried he could not wake up. The pony watched with a confused look. "Are thou saying there are more humans in this world?" "We live all over the world. We have cities and towns. I'm from Australia in a city called Brisbane. now will you excuse me, I have to wake up" Venrick explained while trying as much as he could to wake up. "I see, We have not heard of Brisbane, but we are fully aware of Ausneighlia. We shall wake thee so thy shall tell friends thou is alive." Her horn began to glow a bright white as her wings extended out and began the ascent into the air. Her horn glowed brighter and bright until it was blinding. Venrick covered his face and realised what she said. "wait...Ausneighlia?" Venrick was laying on the ground on a dirt path. it was night time and grasshoppers could be heard in the background along with an owl hooting. Venrick twitched his hand and his nose as he could smell Apples nearby. He open his eyes and saw millions of stars twinkling in the night sky and the milky way. His body felt exhausted, all his joints felt weak and he felt cold steel on his forearm, legs hands, chest and his warm breath on his face, but felt the warmth as his poncho was keeping him warm and he realised, He was still wearing his LARP gear. "That... was a weird dream.. need... to get up.," he thought to himself, he attempted to roll onto his side a couple of times before succeeding and fell onto his front. he struggled to push himself up and put a knee under him and pushed up making him kneel on one knee and put an arm on it to keep him stable, he breathed heavily as he used all his energy to get himself off the ground. He looked around as he was trying to get air into his lungs and regain his strength, he saw lights in the distance and houses but also two houses off in the distance on top of hills next to the apple trees. "a...apple farm..wait, where the hell am I?" he thought to himself. He looked to his right and saw his stuff scattered about in a grassy field and a small stream with mountains in the background and there he saw the moon.it was like his but, had an outline of a unicorn that seemed to look down at him, staring into his eyes. He got the chills as he realised that's not what the moon usually looks like, he had enough strength to get up and stand on two legs and walk towards the stream. Lumbering towards the stream and got on his knees again and started to drink from the stream. It was ice cold but felt amazing, he drank for a good minute and he got up. He didn't feel exhausted or weak anymore, He looked around for his stuff and one by one picked them up and put them next to the dirt road. "Alright, just need to go into the town, ask where I am and call my mum were I am." When he said the word mum he realised what his mother could be feeling. scared, sad, afraid her son is missing, as well as his father and friends. "I gotta get there now," his stomach grumbled, "after I eat something first.." He opened his bag and took out a muesli bar and began to eat it, he also took out a water bottle that had stevens name on it. his heart faltered for a second before opening the bottle and began to drink from the bottle for some reason the muesli bar was dry. Now, that he had something to eat he packed up everything. he put his longboard on the ground, wrapped the quilt around his bag, put his Akubra hat on and put his foot on the board. He looked forward to the town that now had a few lights on. he pushed off and began riding his longboard to the town. "must be a small town if very few lights are on," he wondered. He made his way to the outskirts of the town, went over a bridge and as he got closer to the houses. He realised they we not modern, but in fact, old looking like old german houses. He skated past a Carousel house that was different shades of purple and white and past some tents with diamond patterns on them. "this place is a little weird.." Venrick eventually made his way to the center of the town were a tower stood which he thought to himself, must be the town hall. Next to the town hall was a box that had a clock in it and stood on a pole that had a string with flags on them connecting to banners scattered about the town square that softly move in the wind and the water fountain with a pony on its hind legs with a smile. "Four Twenty-seven in the morning.." he thought to himself as he stared at the clock, "guess I'll wait until morning to ask around where I am." He leaned his longboard against the ground and elevated floor of the town hall, put his bag next to him and leant against the wall next to his longboard. He lowered his hat and opened his bag to take out his phone. he held the power button and realised that it was dead. he pulled out the solar charger and plugged it in. "I'm so glad I bought this when I started LARP, now just need to wait until the sun rises.." He placed it next to him, he put his left leg laying on the ground, his right leg up, relaxed and went to sleep. He did not dream, darkness only filled his mind while he slept and hours passed. as he came out of his slumber, he felt a nudge to his foot, another, and another. "What is it?" "That can't be what Lyra has been talking about, it can't be." "I told you humans existed! Here's one right in front of us!" "I'd say stand back, it might be dangerous." Venrick open his eyes but did not move "what the hell is going on?" he thought. He looked at his foot that was being nudged by a...pink hoof? He could not see the face of the pink pony that was nudging him, but he could see a crowd of pastel colored ponies with pictures on the rumps and what looks to be stallions around him. "ok, what the hell is definitely going on...I need to be calm about this." He kept looking at the different ponies that surrounded him, he could not see faces but only their bodies, he could see wings on some of them. "somepony get Twilight, she might know what it is." "I keep telling you, it's a human!" "Lyra, calm down, how are you sure it is one of these...humans" "I've read about them when I was a filly and about their culture, it's body and armor fit the drawings I've seen!" A pony began to run away to get this Twilight pony, he had to play his cards right or else he does not know what will these ponies do to him...but, wait a minute, if he could guess the height of these ponies, they are no bigger then at least his hip and the stallions come up to his chest. "I might be able to get away, need to reach for my longboard and I will be able to get out of here.." He looked over to his board. it was on the ground on top of his bag that still had the quilt wrapped around it and his phone was right next to his hand, the screen had a green battery indicating it was fully charged. "great, just need to find a escape route, think it will be fight or flight when I stand up..guess I just have to wing it." Venrick counted down in his head, he was about to make a dash for it as the ponies still talked amongst themselves. three, two, one. To Venrick, everything went slow motion. He lifted his hat up so he can see the face of the pony in front of him, she had violet hair with a light pink streak through her hair, a horn, and had three diamonds on her backside, she jumped back with a surprised expression, his eyes met with her pink iris eyes He grabbed his phone and launched himself to his longboard and bag, he grabbed his bag and stood up, towering over the ponies. The ponies cried out as he moved in a mix of emotions as some were running away in terror while some watched with either fear or awe that the human moved. he threw his bag over his head and shoulder, he put his foot on his longboard. "see! see!! That's a human! They are real," a mint green pony with a Lyra on her rump said jumping up and down with joy. Venrick saw an ally he could skate through to lose the crowd, leant down ready to push off his longboard. some of the ponies saw where he was going to go and got out of the way as he pushed a couple of times on his board picking up speed, Venrick opened his mouth and spoke. "GET OUT OF MY WAY!" He dashed to the ally way and went through it, dodging crates and bins that obstruct the path. He exited the ally and found he was in the main road were more ponies were walking with saddles carrying food and some behind stall saw Venrick exit on the board. "Take a right," he thought and pushed hard to gain more speed after turning right, just barely missing a blue pony with light blue and white hair that had a horn. he was picking up a lot of speed as he started going down a small slope. There was a crowd of ponies that saw Venrick and panicked, running all over the place, he could not find an opening as he was heading towards the panicking ponies but saw a wagon laying backwards and the poles sticking up. He steered towards the wagon and got low to the ground, hitting the wagon perfectly and jumped it. he flew above the ponies were some watched as he basically flew in the air, he landed 5 feet from where he jumped and cleared the ponies. An intersection was coming up, "left," he thought, turning into the intersection, but that was a mistake. A big crystal tree that had a purple and blue crystal castle in it stood a good 200 yards in front of him, "damn, I've run into the towns....castle?" stunned and awed at the glistening castle before him, he did not see the little pothole in front of him, he hit it, making him fall forward and spin, landing on his back and hitting his head against the ground, knocking himself out. As he was losing conscience, he heard a group of ponies running up to him and out of breath, he saw an orange, yellow, and brown haze come into view accompanied by a white and purple haze. "Looks like he fell off." one of the ponies said with a southern accent "Well at least he is not causing any more havoc in town, and where is Twilight? Didn't that Stallion get her?" the other said in a British accent. "Ah reckon she'll be here in any moment, for now, ah think we should get him inside da castle so he could rest up." The voices ground out to muffling and his vision went dark, he was now conscience. "Well, of to sleep again.." Was the last thing the thought to himself as the darkness embraced him and drifted to sleep. Author's Note I do not own the song, it belongs to it's respectful owners. I recommend giving it a watch, really funny. Took about 4 days to write but paid off. I really enjoyed writing this and hope you enjoyed reading it. See you in the next chapter. Chapter 3."So are ya sure it's a human Twi?" "I am pretty sure Applejack, Venrick fits the description of the books I've read." "Is he dangerous?" "I'm not sure Rarity, he didn't seem like he was out to hurt anypony, just get away from us. So, if anything I think he's just scared." Venrick's eyes slowly opened and let our a groan. "urgh, man that hurt." He sat up and rubbed the back of his head, looking down at the..blankets. "wait...blankets..I'm in a bed and where is my armor...in fact, where is my stuff." He looked up and saw six colorful ponies standing around the bed in a mixture of surprised, shocked, and one scared hiding behind her hair. The purple one with a horn AND wings stepped forward and cleared her throat. "greetings Venrick, my name is Twilight sparkle. ?" Venrick looked at her with an open mouth speechless and looked side to side. "uhhhhh..." there was a bedside table that had a small thin body and a large flat surface, he looked at Twilight and back to the table. She was curious why he was interested at the table, before she could ask he threw the covers in the air, rolled out of bed and grabbed the table, pointing the flat part at them using it as a shield. All the ponies stepped back and looked at him confused. "Oi, don't come any closer alright or I'll....umm..uh..throw it at...yoouu.." he said looking at it and realised that was a stupid move. a blue pegasus pony with rainbow hair started laughing at him, the orange pony scratched the back of her head, Twilight seemed to look at him with an inquisitive look, the pink one was..bouncing in one spot with a smile and laughing with the blue pegasus, the white pony with a horn took a couple steps back and shared the same expression as Twilight, lastly the yellow Pegasus just kept hiding her face with her hair. I just dropped the nightstand and stood there. "We aren't going to hurt you, Venrick. In fact, Applejack and rarity brought you to my house and I healed your little concussion from your fall on..that." She pointed to the longboard that was in the corner leant against the wall were Venrick's armor was piled on a chair, his bag, boots, and quilt laying on the floor neatly beside them. He put the nightstand back where it was and looked at all the ponies individually. He cleared his throat. "Sorry for that, um, and thank you Rarity n' Applejack. Also, how do you know that name?" "It's labeled under your armor." He remembed writing his name on the armor for LARP and rubbed the back oh his head feeling a little embarrassed. "oh, right, forgot about that. Well, it's nice to meet you all. My name is Venrick Enyeto Dakotah, what are you names?" Twilight smiled "well, you know mine, rarity's, and Applejacks. I'll introduce you to my other friends. This is Rainbowdash, Pinkie pie and Fluttershy." Rainbowdash puffed her chest out and gave a proud smile "I'm one of, if not THE fastest pegasus in Equestria." Pinkie Pie ran up to Venrick and gave him a big smile. "Nice to meet you Venrick, I've never seen a human before, you are really tall, I'm going to throw you a "welcome to Equestria Venrick" party!" She gave Venrick a big toothy smile followed by her zooming out of the room in a pink blur. Fluttershy stood there looking down. "It's...nice to meet you, Venrick." Venrick stood there giving her a confused look. "I guess their names really fit them well...that's real weird." He thought to himself. "Well, It's nice to meet you all. So, I'm in a town called Equestria huh?" "no, no, That's the country, the town is called Ponyville." "Wait, COUNTRY?!" "Uhh, yes..." "So you're saying I'm not on earth?" "Earth? No, this world is called Equus." Venricks heart started to race and his knees went weak, he fall to the ground and leant against the front of the bed and stared into space with his eyes widened. The ponies gave him a worried look, Twilight ran up to him. "Are, you ok?" "I'm...not on earth..I'm in some strange world called Equus. That means I won't see all my friends that I LARP with, my mum and dad back home, friends from high school. I will never see them again.." Tears rolled down his eyes as he was on the edge of crying knowing he will never see anyone he knew. He slowly lifted a hand to his eyes and covered them. Twilight put a hoof on his shoulder looking sorry for him as well as the rest of the ponies. "I'm, so sorry Venrick. I... don't know what to say." "It's ok Twilight...it's not your fault." Fluttershy walks up to him and nuzzles him. "It's ok Venrick, don't cry." Venrick moves his hand and looks straight into Fluttershy's eyes, his breathing steadies and calms down. Venrick had this calm feeling wash over him and all his trouble went away as he stared into her eyes, something about her made him calm and collective. She gave him a soft smile. "you feeling a bit better?" "y-yeah. I am, thank you." He stood up, wiped his eyes and took a deep breath. "Thank you, I needed that." all the ponies smiled. Venrick smiled back but could not help feel something in the back of his head making him want to scream, cry and hit the wall until it broke. "So, I'm guessing after Skating through the town I've made a bit of a trouble haven't I?" Rarity smiled sheepishly. "Well Darling, you did nearly hit Minuette and knock over a stall with that ..thing of yours." Venrick scratched the back of his head and looked down. "I better apologise for that shouldn't I?" Rarity nodded. Venricks stomach rumbled and he looked at the girls embarrassed. "We should go to Sugarcube corner and get something to eat," Twilight said with a smile "I'd like that." Venrick took off his poncho to feel more comfortable in just his jeans and shirt, He put on his boots and looked at his things. He knelt down to his bag and pulled out his phone, wallet, and put it in each front pockets of his jeans, zipped up his bag and looked towards Twilight. "are we going to be coming back here? "I do think so, it should be fine for you to leave your stuff here." Venrick smiled and stood up. "alright, lead the way." Twilight and her friends led Venrick outside of the castle, it was a little cool with a soft breeze in the hair as the sun was nearly about to set, Venrick seemed to have passed out for a couple of hours. As they started making their way to a part of Ponyville. Venrick was confused on where they were going since there were no ponies around, he looked at Applejack who was right next to him. "so, uh. Why Sugarcube corner?" "Oh, well remember what Pinkie Pie said? She's throwing you a party and we are going to it." "oh..wait she was serious?" "When it comes to parties, she's always serious." The group made their way to a building that looked like a gingerbread house with two giant cupcakes on the top, frosting, candy, the whole lot. Venricks stomach growled as he saw the building, the girls looked at him and giggled. "wait until we get inside, Pinkies food is delicious." Rainbow dash said as they got closer to the building. When they got to the front door the stood a good 4 feet away from the building. Applejack pushed Venrick to the front door and gestured him to open it, He looked at her with confusion and back at the door knob. He reached for it and held it, his heart beat fast, he gripped it tight and opened the door. The lights turned on, confetti shot out into his face, party blowers ring in his ear, and all the ponies cheered. There were decorations everywhere with pastries and cakes all on a table with punch, a banner was above the counter that read "welcome to Ponyville Venrick." Venrick stood there with a surprised look on his face. "WELCOME!" All the ponies said in unison. "Uhhhhh..." Venrick could only say as most of the ponies in Ponyville were here. "Come on, let's have some fun!" Pinkie grabbed Venricks hand and pulled him into the house, Twilight, and her friends came in after and began partying with the ponies. There was a DJ booth blasting music with a blue hair earth pony with glasses, the music was actually catchy and he was enjoying it. He made his way to the table with all the food and cakes on it, there he saw the pony Minuette there with some other ponies. He walked up to her and cleared his throat. She and the other ponies looked at him and gave him a smile while Minuette gave him an uneasy one. "Uh, hey, I'm Venrick. I just want to say I'm really sorry about nearly colliding with you earlier today when I was on my longboard." "It's ok, just try to be a little more careful ok? by the way, were are you from?" Venrick thought for a second on what he was going to say, but then had an idea. "hold on for a minute because I'm about to announce that." Venrick ran over to pinkie pie and whispered in her ear, she gave a big smile and yelled. "Hey everypony, Venrick wants to say something!" Every eye locked onto him. the music went quiet since he was six feet tall he towered over everypony so he didn't have to climb on something to be seen by them. He cleared his throat, shaking a little from every eye on him but he began. "Hi..uh, my name is Venrick Enyeto Dakotah and I am..well, human." Lyra clapped her hooves "yeah!" Logan looked at her weirdly. "After..talkting to Twilight I have realized something.. I am not from this world, I come from a world where humans dominate the world called earth, I was taken away from my world by something that I can't quite explain and came to this on. I am not sure if it was fate or by a random chance, but I know I won't be going anywhere anytime soon...so, enjoy the party and have fun." All the ponies clapped their hooves together and cheered, the music came back on and the party went back into full swing. Venrick sighed softly and walked back towards the table of food, as he got to the table he got a plate of different pastries, treats, found a place to sit and started to eat. It tasted amazing, the brownies were soft and tasty, the cake was moist and soft, cupcakes exploded with taste and the pie was simply to die for. "Oh my god, I want ALL the food here," he thought to himself as he finished his plate. He felt a nudge on his shoulder and he looked to his left, Lyra was standing there with a big smile and two cups of punch floating in the air surrounded by a gold aura. "Want a drink?" "Uh, sure, thank you." "No problem, wunna go sit down somewhere?" "sure, I'm cool with that." Venrick and lyra sat on a couch, lyra using her magic to floated the drink to him. He looked at how it was floating in mid-air and hesitantly grabbed it, his hand felt a little tingle as his hand touched the magic surrounding the cup but went away as the magic did. He took a sip of the cup and looked what was in it. "Is this cherry?" "Mhm, great isn't it? So what's it like were you are from? how many humans live in your world, what's your hobby, do you have magic were your from?" "That's a lot of questions.." "Sorry, it's just humans are so cool from what I read." "Heh, alright, well. In my world there's a lot of conflict due to politics, religion, and people with indifferent minds, there are roughly 7 billion humans in the world, my hobbies are: dressing in armor with foam weapons with other people and smack each other with the weapons, playing music, longboarding, watching movies, and I like to read once and a while." "Oh, wow.." Lyra looked up to him in awe "mmhmm," Venrick replied taking a sip from his cup. "Hey, lyra is it?" "yes." "Do you have alcohol in this world?" "We do, in fact, we have some at this party." "could you bring me a cup, please?" "uh, sure." Lyra got off the couch and headed upstairs. While she went to get the drink Venrick sat there zoned out. "so this is what my life has come to now? Colorful, talk, flying, magical ponies. I don't know if I can get used to this..I really need a drink" Lyra came back with a cup and handed it to Venrick. "here you are." "Oh, thanks." Venrick kicked it back and chugged the whole cup. Lyra watched with wide eyes as he finished it. Venrick looked to Lyra and raised an eyebrow. "You call this alcohol? tastes like lemonade." "Oh, well I didn't know what type of alcohol you're into so I go the one I like." "Well, it's not bad, but I wanna try some of the heavy stuff you have in this world." "Alright, well follow me." Lyra and Venrick headed upstairs, one the second floor was a hallway with three doors, a balcony overseeing the party below with a table full of different kinds of alcoholic beverages and some stallions and mares were talking, and stairs leading to a pink door with party balloons on it. two had signs saying do not open and the other door was closed and some ponies were lining up for it. Venrick kept following Lyra until they got to the drinks. The mares and stallions looked at him, mostly happy smiles. He was looking at the bottles and seeing the alcohol content, one was called, "Maple syrup vodka." "eh, good enough," he though and pours a glass. He took one swig and finished it all. "Easy on the alcohol, don't want you passing out," Lyra said while pouring another one of her lemonade alcoholic drinks. "It takes more than that to get me drunk" Lyra raised an eyebrow "You humans must really like your alcohol." "Yeah, sure I guess." A stallion with a caramel colored coat and brown mane walked up to Venrick and nudged him. "Hey there human, so you think you can hold your drinks." Venrick turns to him and looks down at him. "Who wants to know?" "Names Caramel, and yourself?" "Venrick." "Well, Venrick. Want to make this party a little more interesting?" "How so? "Let's see who can finish ten shots of Applejack's Whiskey first, wins." "Make it ten glasses and you're on, mate." Venrick and Caramel were sitting at a table with ten glasses on each side in the middle of the party, everypony was cheering. Venrick and Caramel were staring into each others eyes with narrow eyebrows. Venrick crossed his arms while Caramel just sat there, Pinkie Pie jumped up behind the table and began to speak. "Alright everypony, we have Venrick on one side and Caramel on the other. Let's see who can down their drinks the fastest! want to say something before we begin?" Venrick smiled. "If I win I walk away with a bottle of my choice." "Just knowing I beat a human at a drinking contest is enough for me," Caramel replied. "Alright, everypony get ready!" Caramel reached for the first drink as well as Venrick. "GO!" Pinkie cried. Caramel was quick to put the glass to his mouth and started chugging the drink, Venrick smiled and watched before taking two glasses, Finishing the first in one swig and the second with one swig. The ponies were going wild and cheering. Caramel looked at Venrick and couldn't believe what he saw, Venrick on his third glass while he just finished his fist. Venrick kept at his technique by holding two glasses and finishing them really quick. By the time Caramel was on his 5th Venrick slammed the tenth glass down. "VICTORY!" He yelled and threw his hands in the air. All the ponies clapped their hooves and cheered for Venrick. "How!" Caramel asked looking at the empty glasses in front of Venrick. "Being Australian!" He said with a big smile and laughing. Ponies laughed at his statement while Caramel looked down in defeat. Later, He took a unopen bottle of maple syrup vodka from the table and began to sway a little while descending the stairs to look for Twilight. He bumped into Lyra who gave him a big smile. "Wow you really did it, you beat Caramel at the drinking game. Besides Big Mac, no pony has beaten him." "Aw yeah, well. I'm looking for Twilight because the drinks are starting to kick in and I rather get into a bed before doing something stupid." "Well, if you want we can go back to mine. I have a bed you can sleep in." Lyra gave Venrick half-lid eyes and a little smile. Venrick looked at her eyes for a couple of seconds. "well, my stuff is at Twilights. If my stuff was with me I'd take you up on that offer. but, for now. Time to find Twilight." Venrick walked away still searching for the purple pony, Lyra watched with a sad look. Bonbon walked up to Lyra and narrowed her eyes. "Did you just try to-" "N-NO!" Venrick keeps stumbling around and eventually finds Twilight with her friends. "H-hey, Twilight. I, uh. really need a bed to lay on.." "after that little stunt with Caramel I wouldn't doubt it.." "can I like, crash at yours since my stuff is there?" "uh, sure it shouldn't be a problem." "Great! See you in the morning! Later girls" Venrick started to walk towards the exit. "Venrick, won't you need help getting back?" asked Twilight. "naaaah, I remember the way, I should be able to make it back" Venrick walked out of sugar cube corner with a bottle in one hand and stumbled his way to Twilights castle. After thirty minutes of stumbling around and trying to find the castle he finally found it and opened the door. As he closed it behind him he pressed his back against the door and looked to the ground, giving a soft sigh. He kept walking through the halls and made his way to the bedroom. He opened the door and scanned the bedroom, the bed was tidy, his things were where he left them and everything seemed to be in order...a little too much in order when he and the girls left. Everything was really tidy then he last left, "Since magic is a thing in this world I bet she just used some cleaning spell of something, I don't know.." He just noticed the door on the left that was mostly glass and it led to a balcony with two chairs on it. He opened the door and sat on one of the chairs, looking out towards the town. He could see far and wide of the land and all the houses scattered out across it, some houses still had lights on and he could see the town hall and Sugarcube corner, well, just the top of it. He opened the bottle he held in his hand and held it out. "To me being taken away from my family, my friends, my world, and to this strange unknown world with talking ponies and fucking magic," he began drinking from the bottle, a tear fell from his cheek followed by another one, he held the bottle out again. "Oh, and to being the ONLY human in this godforsaken land, the last of my people, to that, I say FUCK IT!" He drunk and more of the bottle. He only got half way before it fell out of his hand and onto the floor. He attempted three times to pick up the bottle and was successful on the fourth, he put the lid on it and sighed. "guess that's enough now...." He stumbled towards the bed, putting the bottle under the bedside table, He took off his shirt, threw it to the chair that had his things on it, and climbed into bed. He stared at the ceiling and sighed again, relaxing his body, he put his arm over his eyes and smiled. "At least this bed is really comfy, today has been really fucking weird, let's just hope it isn't as bad tomorrow." With those words, he started to drift off and sleep. Author's Note Writers block is annoying, but got through it. hope this alright, enjoy! See you in the next chapter Chapter 4Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.
Prologue"I am confident that it will work Twilight. Just have faith in yourself and it will happen" "Ok...I believe." Princess Celestia and Twilight Sparkle stood in front of the School were Celestia teaches her magic. for Twilight to continue her studies with Celestia, She had to show the school board what she has learned and what Celestia has been teaching her. They made their way to the classroom that Twilight had to show what she has learned. Three Ponies were sitting in front of a desk and surprisingly Twilights parents were sitting in the back. They waved to her with a smile as they were here to support her. She smiled and waved back as she stood up on the stage, Celestia walk over to the judges and sat down beside them. "good morning princess." they said with a smile and a bow "good morning" she simply replied. the judges looked up to twilight and one cleared their throat. "Alright, let's begin. Twilight sparkle, please come to center stage." Three ponies were sitting in a classroom with Princess Celestia sitting beside them. Behind them were Twilights parents. Twilight was nervous. It was her third year as Princess Celestia's student and did not want to big her a bad reputation by failing her presentation. As she trotted to center, stage she looked at her parents who smiled and nodded, She smiled back and took a deep breath. "When you are ready." one of the judges said. "Good morning everypony. As you know I am Twilight Sparkle and my presentation will be on galactic space travel" The three judges looked at each other and back to twilight with confused looks on their faces. She cleared her throat and continued. "Galatic space travel is where we are able to travel to a different world in an instant...well, theoretically. I've been studying this for the past six months and believe I am able to open a portal on another world." "Ok, well please show us Twilight this...Space travel." Twilight's horn begins to glow and a purple aura begins to glow around her horn and her body. Papers, curtains and the ponies hair being to blow in the wind that circled around Twilight as she began to float in the air. A purple magic seal began to circle around her and move forward in front of her and magic starts to move clock ways around the seal, Sweat started coming from Twilights forehead as she focuses all her energy into this spell. The ponies in the room except Celestia was getting nervous from the amount of power that was serging in the room. Her parents held each other while staring at the spectacular show of magic. Twilight's mother whispered "come on Twilight, you can do it, sweetie." A purple portal fully forms in front of Twilight. She smiles at her victory, but her celebration did not last long. Purple lighting started to spark from the portal and hitting in random directions of the room. the sound of the wind whipping around Twilight and the loud cracking of the lighting scared the judges as they saw the concern on Twilights face "You can stop now Twilight!" one of the Ponies shouted. "n-no! I can do it!" Twilight replied as she closed her eyes trying to use all her focus on portal to stable it, but she failed as the papers and loose objects around the room started going into the portal. The judges and Twilights parents took cover behind chairs and desks while Celestia had enough, Her horn glowed a golden aura and onto twilights forehead. Twilight's horn began to flicker with magic and then stopped. She flew over the Twilight and put her wings around Twilight as she collapsed into her wings and passes out from exhaustion. She looked back at the portal. it was closing in on itself and started to tilt facing up. Celestia's eyes grew wide as purple light started coming out from the magic seal. She turned her head to twilights and closed her eyes as pure magic shot from the portal into the sky with a pure bear for a couple of seconds before closing in on itself to just a pile of paper and a couple of lighting strikes to the floor of where the portal hovered. "I-I'm so sorry Princess Celestia...I..I thought I could do it" Twilight whispered to Celestia as she was regaining her strength to stand while resting on Celestia's chest. "It's ok my pupil, for a minute there I thought you actually had it" she replied, nuzzling Twilight. The rest of the ponies in the room came out of their hiding places and looked at Twilight. "W-with recent..events that just happen..we will let you continue to stay at this school...however, please stick to spells that are more in reach of achieving." one of the judges say as they dust themselves off. Twilight smiled "I..will try next time" Her and her parents were outside of the school with Princess Celestia. Twilight looked at Celestia. "so...were do you think that beam went to?" "I do not know Twilight. Though, where ever it goes. I hope it doesn't cause any trouble to anypony or..anything that comes into contact with." Celestia looks up in the sky in the direction the beam shot thinking were that beam will go, what will it do or what it can do. Twilight looked up with her and wondered what could possibly happen. did she just send a destructive beam that could obliterate anything in its path? she frowned at the thought of it. "Celestia, I hope it does not hurt anypony, I didn't mean to hurt anypony." "I know Twilight..I know" Author's Note I am aiming for this to be my big project. Please comment and give me your opinions. i love reading comments have a good day and pony on. Edited by Quillo Manar. Big thanks to Quillo Manar for proof reading and editing.
Chapter 1"YOU WILL NOT GET AWAY WITH THIS NORGRAL!" "Oh, but I have! Your forces dwindle while mine rein supreme, Bastion!" Two men stood on top of a hill. one had a black shirt and jeans with gantlets, vambraces, greaves, gorget that had pauldrons and a bevor connected to it that sat on top of a poncho. He also was six feet tall with long dark brown hair and tan skin. The other wore a full set of black knight armor with a yak skull painted on it. He had short black hair and was pale. Below, men and women dressed in leather armor to plate armor fought each other with two flags being carried by people. one was blue with a yellow outline and an anvil on it that had a hammer laying on top. the other was black with red outline and a yak skull on it with blood dripping from the mouth and eyes. Bastion lunged forward with a metal pole staff, hitting down on Norgral's shield. Norgral counted by swinging his mace up towards the right side of Bastions ribs and making contact. Bastion yelled in pain and leaned to the side he got hit, dropping to one knee. He was not going to give up as he hit Norgral on the knee and made a roll to the right as he saw Norgals mace come down just barely missing him. Bastion gets up and swings his polearm to Norgals back, one, two, three, four repeated hits to his back and jumps back when Norgral back swings at Bastion. Norgral charges towards Bastion, Bastion didn't have time to react and Norgral swung his mace down on Bastion. Bastion fell to the ground and got bombarded by hits with the mace. Bastion went limp. He drew one last breath. "I...will be revenged...wait and.see" with that Bastion died. "oh, I'll be waiting, and when they come. I will mow them down like the people before you" Norgral laughed and leaned down grabbing Bastions metal poll and faced the fight down below. "MEN AND WOMEN FROM ZORA I HAVE DEFEATED YOUR CHAMPION!" The fighting stopped as all the people watched, some in horror, and some cheered. The cheering grew as Norgral held the staff. "aaaand that's game!" a man yelled wearing a yellow and red cloak with a clipboard. Everyone stopped what they were doing and clapped and talked among themselves "wow that was a great game, huh." "you nearly got me there Mark." "Damn we nearly had you guys" Nargral walked over to Venrick who was playing dead. "hey Venric, It's over now you can get up." "Aww but Steve I'm comfy," Venrick said with a smile with his eyes closed "yeah, yeah. Get up." Steven grabbed Venrick's hand and pulled him up. "Two more hits and you would have had me ya know?" "Really? didn't you get your alchemist friend to give you a buff?" "Nah, he died ten minutes into the first game and had to leave to drop off his girlfriend at the train station." "Ahhh fair enough." They kept talking as they made their way to a building where tents were set up. They were at a LARP event. People dressed in fantasy clothes and armor walked around drinking and talking to each other as they day closed to an end for it was the last day of LARP and everyone was heading home. An older man walked up to Venrick and put his hand on Venrick and Steve's shoulders. "hey guys, great game. It's a shame that Venrick is gone now, Whats your new character going to be?" Venrick smiled and laughed. "hahaha, yeah I was thinking of a Dwarf because of the free mining and blacksmith trait. Could start up shop and be a townsman." Steven gave him a smug look. "thinking of being a townie after I kicked your ass?" "pfft, Nah. Just wanting to do something besides running around killing people. Just for that you are gonna pay double at my store." The 3 people laughed and the older man spoke up. "that would be good, we do need more people being townies so the city could look more lively. Well, I gotta go. The misses wants me to take her out to the movies tonight." The man took off waving at the two and they returned a wave. Venrick and Steven packed up their tent and sleeping bags with the help of other LARP'ers who slept in the same tent as them. "hey, that was a fun game. So when do you think is going to happen since the all mighty Venrick is dead?" Alex said, who is one of the LARP'ers. "I don't know, I think you guy's will find someone." Venrick replied. "Ya think Leona could be the next champion? She's really good with that sword and shield." Ivan said while packing the tent into the bag with Alex "That would be sick to see," Venrick said with a smile and a small blush on his face. "Ya only saying that because you have a thing for Leona," Steven said as he pack the tent stands into a bag. Everyone except Venrick was laughing. A red blush went along Venrick's face and put a finger to his mouth. "shhh, quiet you." Steven laughed harder. "It's ok bro, everyone knows it." "wait really?!?" everyone around the now packed tent nodded. "I think Leona knows as well." The Alex said. Venrick sighs and looks down in defeat. "Well that's just great, think I need to find another LARP group." "It's ok bro...It' ok." Steven said as he patted Venrick's back. They made their way to a little opening that served as the car park were Venrick's car seat as they held the tent gear and sleeping bags. It was a blue Camry Sportivo and It had a few scratches along the side, back, and a small crack at the bottom of the windshield. "We are the only ones left in this car park eh? huh, So, you wanna do HJ's run? Or you want to come back to mine and we could play on the PS4?" Steven asked. "Both sound really good right now," Venrick replied as he walked to the rear of the car. Venrick opened the boot of his car. it was filled with empty bags for their armor to be put in and the odd thing here and there. Like a longboard, an Akubra that has seen better days, a native American quilt just in case it got cold through the night, and a red duffle bag filled with a empty water bottle, snacks, Venrick's phone, wallet, charger and a portable solar charger. ' Venrick and Steven looked at the boot with all the stuff. "alright, I'll take all the crap out while you put the tent and sleeping bags in alright?" Venrick said while looking at Steven, Steven nodded in response. Venrick grabbed the board and Akubra out and places it on the ground. Steven put the sleeping backs in, Venrick grabbed the quilt and duffle bag. As Steven put was putting the tent in the boot, Venrick grabbed the empty water bottle from the bag and went off to fill the water. As Steven got the tent into the boot he grabbed some bags and walked over to Venrick's stuff and started taking off his armor. "Man wish I could keep this on, so cold today," he said to himself as he unbuckled his gantlets. Venrick started walking back to Steven drinking out of the bottle. He looked in the sky at the white clouds that were drifting slowly in the wind and admiring the blue sky when he saw a small pink dot in the sky. "what the..." he whispered as he started to get bigger at an alarming rate. It was coming straight for him he thought, but, it wasn't. It was actually going straight to the car. "STEVEN, RUN!" Venrick yelled as he ran towards him. Steven looked at him weird "Dude, what's goi-" KABOOM. Steven looked up and saw a pink beam heading straight for him really fast. His face was in horror and couldn't move due to being scared. To Venrick, everything was slow motion as he sprinted towards Steven faster than ever in his life. He put his hands forward and leaped towards Steven, jumping over his things. The beam was 6 feet above them at this rate, Venrick made contact with Steven and pushed him out of the way while mid-air. As Venrick pushed him, Steven looked over to Venrick still with a scared face and tears slowly coming out of his eyes. Venrick looked into his with tears and silently said "farewell." As the beam hit Venrick and his things. Steven closed his eyes because of the brightness of the beam, as Steven hit the ground he could smell burnt dirt and still feel Venrick's hands on his side. he slowly but surely knelt up on one knee and open his eyes. Venrick and his stuff were nowhere to be seen and when the beam hit was burn marks on the ground that made a spiral shape to the center and some sort of runes around it with odd markings. Steven looked around "Venrick....Venrick where are you.." He got up and walked over to his car and leaned against it looking around the dirt car park. "Venrick?.....VEEENRIIICK!" Steven cried out but no response. Steven slid off the car and onto the ground softly weeping, a group of six People started to run to the car park and could see Steven on the ground. "Steven! Steven what happen? We saw that thing, where is Venrick?" Alex asked while he ran and knelt beside him while everyone stood around Steven. "He...he pushed me out of the way of the thing...he was right there...can you find him?" Steven pointed to the burn mark on the ground, was clearly in shock as he believed Venrick to still be here. "We...will find him..You go and lay down." He helped Steven into the passenger seat of Venrick's car, him and the rest looked at each others with concern faces knowing what really happen to Venrick. One broke down crying and the rest gave them a group hug. "He will be missed.." Alex whispered with tears starting to roll down his face.

Chapter 2( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCHIAVqVKyA This is to listen to for the first two paragraphs) "Am I...dead?" Venrick said while drifting in a black abyss, still wearing his LARP gear. His voice echoed as if he was in a cave. His eyes stared up into the black nothing and his things floated next to him. His body felt numb, painless, and somewhat blissful. He felt completely relaxed and not afraid of his situation. A sound of a chime rang throughout the abyss as a small star appeared in his field of view, his body tensed as he saw it. Another chime that came with another star and then more and more little stars started to appear all around him as he felt like he was in space floating in the eternal expansion of the universe. he blinked his eyes and when he opened them he was standing up on a white floor that radiated a white glow with his things piled up next to him with the bag on the bottom, quilt, board, and hat. In front of him was his friends Steve, Alex, and Ivan, but...they were faded as if they were ghosts. Steven spoke up. "Hey Venrick, let's go out and walk around Surfers. I'll get ya lunch." Then Alex, "Hey babe, introduce me to that guy over there. He seems cute." Lastly, Ivan. "Hey bro, Even though we aren't blood-related, to me you are a brother." Tears swelled up in Venrick's eyes as he saw them all standing there with smiles on their faces and looking at him. "God....damnit.." He fell to his knees and started crying and put one hand into a fist and started punching the white floor harder and harder with each punch until he felt exhausted and yelled in frustration. He fell to the ground and whimpered softly. "Is this what the rest of my eternity is going to be, Seeing the friends I can never see again?" He closed his eyes again tightly and kept whimpering on the ground. "What are thou creature?" A voice echoed as a dark mist approached Venrick, Venrick shot up and took a couple steps back from the mist in horror. "A..human...what in thy world is a human doing here." the voice had a curious tone to it. "your kind was wiped out from this world a long time ago, how could thy be alive!" Venrick held his ground "what are you, and what do you mean the only one left?" The mist cleared and what stood before him made his jaw drop. A tall pony that came to his neck stood 10 feet away from him but it had a horn, wings, and its mane and tail were made of a dark blue mist that had stars in it. She wore a crown, chest guard and what he assumed were the equivalent of glass shoes. "Thou kind has been dead for more than two thousand years, we were surely confident that no human still existed." The pony looked at Venrick's friends that were standing there smiling at him as is nothing is happening. "are thou humans thy friends?" "y-yes...they were my friends before..well, this." He threw his arms up to show the night sky with stars and the white floor. The pony looked around the sky and smiled softly "Does thou adore the night sky?" "um...I guess, why do you ask?" "well, thou are dreaming of this place." the pony raised a hoof to the sky "D-Dreaming? How could I be dreaming, I'm dead. I pushed my friend out of the way and got hit by that thing and died!" Raising his voice and walking up to the pony and stopping three feet away from her. "Thou is still very much alive, you see. We come into the dreams of ponies that needs guidance and help them...but, for some reason thy was able to come into thou dream. For thou mind was begin to be helped and guided so thy came to help. It is strange that we were able to come into thou mind, this is very strange indeed." Venrick looked down with eyes wide in horror and his knees began to shake, his gauntlets rattle as his hands also shook. "I'm..still alive? This is a dream? I've got to wake up, I need to wake up so I can show everyone I'm alive!" Venrick proceeded to punch himself in the face and tried as hard as he could to wake up but no matter how hard he tried he could not wake up. The pony watched with a confused look. "Are thou saying there are more humans in this world?" "We live all over the world. We have cities and towns. I'm from Australia in a city called Brisbane. now will you excuse me, I have to wake up" Venrick explained while trying as much as he could to wake up. "I see, We have not heard of Brisbane, but we are fully aware of Ausneighlia. We shall wake thee so thy shall tell friends thou is alive." Her horn began to glow a bright white as her wings extended out and began the ascent into the air. Her horn glowed brighter and bright until it was blinding. Venrick covered his face and realised what she said. "wait...Ausneighlia?" Venrick was laying on the ground on a dirt path. it was night time and grasshoppers could be heard in the background along with an owl hooting. Venrick twitched his hand and his nose as he could smell Apples nearby. He open his eyes and saw millions of stars twinkling in the night sky and the milky way. His body felt exhausted, all his joints felt weak and he felt cold steel on his forearm, legs hands, chest and his warm breath on his face, but felt the warmth as his poncho was keeping him warm and he realised, He was still wearing his LARP gear. "That... was a weird dream.. need... to get up.," he thought to himself, he attempted to roll onto his side a couple of times before succeeding and fell onto his front. he struggled to push himself up and put a knee under him and pushed up making him kneel on one knee and put an arm on it to keep him stable, he breathed heavily as he used all his energy to get himself off the ground. He looked around as he was trying to get air into his lungs and regain his strength, he saw lights in the distance and houses but also two houses off in the distance on top of hills next to the apple trees. "a...apple farm..wait, where the hell am I?" he thought to himself. He looked to his right and saw his stuff scattered about in a grassy field and a small stream with mountains in the background and there he saw the moon.it was like his but, had an outline of a unicorn that seemed to look down at him, staring into his eyes. He got the chills as he realised that's not what the moon usually looks like, he had enough strength to get up and stand on two legs and walk towards the stream. Lumbering towards the stream and got on his knees again and started to drink from the stream. It was ice cold but felt amazing, he drank for a good minute and he got up. He didn't feel exhausted or weak anymore, He looked around for his stuff and one by one picked them up and put them next to the dirt road. "Alright, just need to go into the town, ask where I am and call my mum were I am." When he said the word mum he realised what his mother could be feeling. scared, sad, afraid her son is missing, as well as his father and friends. "I gotta get there now," his stomach grumbled, "after I eat something first.." He opened his bag and took out a muesli bar and began to eat it, he also took out a water bottle that had stevens name on it. his heart faltered for a second before opening the bottle and began to drink from the bottle for some reason the muesli bar was dry. Now, that he had something to eat he packed up everything. he put his longboard on the ground, wrapped the quilt around his bag, put his Akubra hat on and put his foot on the board. He looked forward to the town that now had a few lights on. he pushed off and began riding his longboard to the town. "must be a small town if very few lights are on," he wondered. He made his way to the outskirts of the town, went over a bridge and as he got closer to the houses. He realised they we not modern, but in fact, old looking like old german houses. He skated past a Carousel house that was different shades of purple and white and past some tents with diamond patterns on them. "this place is a little weird.." Venrick eventually made his way to the center of the town were a tower stood which he thought to himself, must be the town hall. Next to the town hall was a box that had a clock in it and stood on a pole that had a string with flags on them connecting to banners scattered about the town square that softly move in the wind and the water fountain with a pony on its hind legs with a smile. "Four Twenty-seven in the morning.." he thought to himself as he stared at the clock, "guess I'll wait until morning to ask around where I am." He leaned his longboard against the ground and elevated floor of the town hall, put his bag next to him and leant against the wall next to his longboard. He lowered his hat and opened his bag to take out his phone. he held the power button and realised that it was dead. he pulled out the solar charger and plugged it in. "I'm so glad I bought this when I started LARP, now just need to wait until the sun rises.." He placed it next to him, he put his left leg laying on the ground, his right leg up, relaxed and went to sleep. He did not dream, darkness only filled his mind while he slept and hours passed. as he came out of his slumber, he felt a nudge to his foot, another, and another. "What is it?" "That can't be what Lyra has been talking about, it can't be." "I told you humans existed! Here's one right in front of us!" "I'd say stand back, it might be dangerous." Venrick open his eyes but did not move "what the hell is going on?" he thought. He looked at his foot that was being nudged by a...pink hoof? He could not see the face of the pink pony that was nudging him, but he could see a crowd of pastel colored ponies with pictures on the rumps and what looks to be stallions around him. "ok, what the hell is definitely going on...I need to be calm about this." He kept looking at the different ponies that surrounded him, he could not see faces but only their bodies, he could see wings on some of them. "somepony get Twilight, she might know what it is." "I keep telling you, it's a human!" "Lyra, calm down, how are you sure it is one of these...humans" "I've read about them when I was a filly and about their culture, it's body and armor fit the drawings I've seen!" A pony began to run away to get this Twilight pony, he had to play his cards right or else he does not know what will these ponies do to him...but, wait a minute, if he could guess the height of these ponies, they are no bigger then at least his hip and the stallions come up to his chest. "I might be able to get away, need to reach for my longboard and I will be able to get out of here.." He looked over to his board. it was on the ground on top of his bag that still had the quilt wrapped around it and his phone was right next to his hand, the screen had a green battery indicating it was fully charged. "great, just need to find a escape route, think it will be fight or flight when I stand up..guess I just have to wing it." Venrick counted down in his head, he was about to make a dash for it as the ponies still talked amongst themselves. three, two, one. To Venrick, everything went slow motion. He lifted his hat up so he can see the face of the pony in front of him, she had violet hair with a light pink streak through her hair, a horn, and had three diamonds on her backside, she jumped back with a surprised expression, his eyes met with her pink iris eyes He grabbed his phone and launched himself to his longboard and bag, he grabbed his bag and stood up, towering over the ponies. The ponies cried out as he moved in a mix of emotions as some were running away in terror while some watched with either fear or awe that the human moved. he threw his bag over his head and shoulder, he put his foot on his longboard. "see! see!! That's a human! They are real," a mint green pony with a Lyra on her rump said jumping up and down with joy. Venrick saw an ally he could skate through to lose the crowd, leant down ready to push off his longboard. some of the ponies saw where he was going to go and got out of the way as he pushed a couple of times on his board picking up speed, Venrick opened his mouth and spoke. "GET OUT OF MY WAY!" He dashed to the ally way and went through it, dodging crates and bins that obstruct the path. He exited the ally and found he was in the main road were more ponies were walking with saddles carrying food and some behind stall saw Venrick exit on the board. "Take a right," he thought and pushed hard to gain more speed after turning right, just barely missing a blue pony with light blue and white hair that had a horn. he was picking up a lot of speed as he started going down a small slope. There was a crowd of ponies that saw Venrick and panicked, running all over the place, he could not find an opening as he was heading towards the panicking ponies but saw a wagon laying backwards and the poles sticking up. He steered towards the wagon and got low to the ground, hitting the wagon perfectly and jumped it. he flew above the ponies were some watched as he basically flew in the air, he landed 5 feet from where he jumped and cleared the ponies. An intersection was coming up, "left," he thought, turning into the intersection, but that was a mistake. A big crystal tree that had a purple and blue crystal castle in it stood a good 200 yards in front of him, "damn, I've run into the towns....castle?" stunned and awed at the glistening castle before him, he did not see the little pothole in front of him, he hit it, making him fall forward and spin, landing on his back and hitting his head against the ground, knocking himself out. As he was losing conscience, he heard a group of ponies running up to him and out of breath, he saw an orange, yellow, and brown haze come into view accompanied by a white and purple haze. "Looks like he fell off." one of the ponies said with a southern accent "Well at least he is not causing any more havoc in town, and where is Twilight? Didn't that Stallion get her?" the other said in a British accent. "Ah reckon she'll be here in any moment, for now, ah think we should get him inside da castle so he could rest up." The voices ground out to muffling and his vision went dark, he was now conscience. "Well, of to sleep again.." Was the last thing the thought to himself as the darkness embraced him and drifted to sleep. Author's Note I do not own the song, it belongs to it's respectful owners. I recommend giving it a watch, really funny. Took about 4 days to write but paid off. I really enjoyed writing this and hope you enjoyed reading it. See you in the next chapter.
Chapter 3."So are ya sure it's a human Twi?" "I am pretty sure Applejack, Venrick fits the description of the books I've read." "Is he dangerous?" "I'm not sure Rarity, he didn't seem like he was out to hurt anypony, just get away from us. So, if anything I think he's just scared." Venrick's eyes slowly opened and let our a groan. "urgh, man that hurt." He sat up and rubbed the back of his head, looking down at the..blankets. "wait...blankets..I'm in a bed and where is my armor...in fact, where is my stuff." He looked up and saw six colorful ponies standing around the bed in a mixture of surprised, shocked, and one scared hiding behind her hair. The purple one with a horn AND wings stepped forward and cleared her throat. "greetings Venrick, my name is Twilight sparkle. ?" Venrick looked at her with an open mouth speechless and looked side to side. "uhhhhh..." there was a bedside table that had a small thin body and a large flat surface, he looked at Twilight and back to the table. She was curious why he was interested at the table, before she could ask he threw the covers in the air, rolled out of bed and grabbed the table, pointing the flat part at them using it as a shield. All the ponies stepped back and looked at him confused. "Oi, don't come any closer alright or I'll....umm..uh..throw it at...yoouu.." he said looking at it and realised that was a stupid move. a blue pegasus pony with rainbow hair started laughing at him, the orange pony scratched the back of her head, Twilight seemed to look at him with an inquisitive look, the pink one was..bouncing in one spot with a smile and laughing with the blue pegasus, the white pony with a horn took a couple steps back and shared the same expression as Twilight, lastly the yellow Pegasus just kept hiding her face with her hair. I just dropped the nightstand and stood there. "We aren't going to hurt you, Venrick. In fact, Applejack and rarity brought you to my house and I healed your little concussion from your fall on..that." She pointed to the longboard that was in the corner leant against the wall were Venrick's armor was piled on a chair, his bag, boots, and quilt laying on the floor neatly beside them. He put the nightstand back where it was and looked at all the ponies individually. He cleared his throat. "Sorry for that, um, and thank you Rarity n' Applejack. Also, how do you know that name?" "It's labeled under your armor." He remembed writing his name on the armor for LARP and rubbed the back oh his head feeling a little embarrassed. "oh, right, forgot about that. Well, it's nice to meet you all. My name is Venrick Enyeto Dakotah, what are you names?" Twilight smiled "well, you know mine, rarity's, and Applejacks. I'll introduce you to my other friends. This is Rainbowdash, Pinkie pie and Fluttershy." Rainbowdash puffed her chest out and gave a proud smile "I'm one of, if not THE fastest pegasus in Equestria." Pinkie Pie ran up to Venrick and gave him a big smile. "Nice to meet you Venrick, I've never seen a human before, you are really tall, I'm going to throw you a "welcome to Equestria Venrick" party!" She gave Venrick a big toothy smile followed by her zooming out of the room in a pink blur. Fluttershy stood there looking down. "It's...nice to meet you, Venrick." Venrick stood there giving her a confused look. "I guess their names really fit them well...that's real weird." He thought to himself. "Well, It's nice to meet you all. So, I'm in a town called Equestria huh?" "no, no, That's the country, the town is called Ponyville." "Wait, COUNTRY?!" "Uhh, yes..." "So you're saying I'm not on earth?" "Earth? No, this world is called Equus." Venricks heart started to race and his knees went weak, he fall to the ground and leant against the front of the bed and stared into space with his eyes widened. The ponies gave him a worried look, Twilight ran up to him. "Are, you ok?" "I'm...not on earth..I'm in some strange world called Equus. That means I won't see all my friends that I LARP with, my mum and dad back home, friends from high school. I will never see them again.." Tears rolled down his eyes as he was on the edge of crying knowing he will never see anyone he knew. He slowly lifted a hand to his eyes and covered them. Twilight put a hoof on his shoulder looking sorry for him as well as the rest of the ponies. "I'm, so sorry Venrick. I... don't know what to say." "It's ok Twilight...it's not your fault." Fluttershy walks up to him and nuzzles him. "It's ok Venrick, don't cry." Venrick moves his hand and looks straight into Fluttershy's eyes, his breathing steadies and calms down. Venrick had this calm feeling wash over him and all his trouble went away as he stared into her eyes, something about her made him calm and collective. She gave him a soft smile. "you feeling a bit better?" "y-yeah. I am, thank you." He stood up, wiped his eyes and took a deep breath. "Thank you, I needed that." all the ponies smiled. Venrick smiled back but could not help feel something in the back of his head making him want to scream, cry and hit the wall until it broke. "So, I'm guessing after Skating through the town I've made a bit of a trouble haven't I?" Rarity smiled sheepishly. "Well Darling, you did nearly hit Minuette and knock over a stall with that ..thing of yours." Venrick scratched the back of his head and looked down. "I better apologise for that shouldn't I?" Rarity nodded. Venricks stomach rumbled and he looked at the girls embarrassed. "We should go to Sugarcube corner and get something to eat," Twilight said with a smile "I'd like that." Venrick took off his poncho to feel more comfortable in just his jeans and shirt, He put on his boots and looked at his things. He knelt down to his bag and pulled out his phone, wallet, and put it in each front pockets of his jeans, zipped up his bag and looked towards Twilight. "are we going to be coming back here? "I do think so, it should be fine for you to leave your stuff here." Venrick smiled and stood up. "alright, lead the way." Twilight and her friends led Venrick outside of the castle, it was a little cool with a soft breeze in the hair as the sun was nearly about to set, Venrick seemed to have passed out for a couple of hours. As they started making their way to a part of Ponyville. Venrick was confused on where they were going since there were no ponies around, he looked at Applejack who was right next to him. "so, uh. Why Sugarcube corner?" "Oh, well remember what Pinkie Pie said? She's throwing you a party and we are going to it." "oh..wait she was serious?" "When it comes to parties, she's always serious." The group made their way to a building that looked like a gingerbread house with two giant cupcakes on the top, frosting, candy, the whole lot. Venricks stomach growled as he saw the building, the girls looked at him and giggled. "wait until we get inside, Pinkies food is delicious." Rainbow dash said as they got closer to the building. When they got to the front door the stood a good 4 feet away from the building. Applejack pushed Venrick to the front door and gestured him to open it, He looked at her with confusion and back at the door knob. He reached for it and held it, his heart beat fast, he gripped it tight and opened the door. The lights turned on, confetti shot out into his face, party blowers ring in his ear, and all the ponies cheered. There were decorations everywhere with pastries and cakes all on a table with punch, a banner was above the counter that read "welcome to Ponyville Venrick." Venrick stood there with a surprised look on his face. "WELCOME!" All the ponies said in unison. "Uhhhhh..." Venrick could only say as most of the ponies in Ponyville were here. "Come on, let's have some fun!" Pinkie grabbed Venricks hand and pulled him into the house, Twilight, and her friends came in after and began partying with the ponies. There was a DJ booth blasting music with a blue hair earth pony with glasses, the music was actually catchy and he was enjoying it. He made his way to the table with all the food and cakes on it, there he saw the pony Minuette there with some other ponies. He walked up to her and cleared his throat. She and the other ponies looked at him and gave him a smile while Minuette gave him an uneasy one. "Uh, hey, I'm Venrick. I just want to say I'm really sorry about nearly colliding with you earlier today when I was on my longboard." "It's ok, just try to be a little more careful ok? by the way, were are you from?" Venrick thought for a second on what he was going to say, but then had an idea. "hold on for a minute because I'm about to announce that." Venrick ran over to pinkie pie and whispered in her ear, she gave a big smile and yelled. "Hey everypony, Venrick wants to say something!" Every eye locked onto him. the music went quiet since he was six feet tall he towered over everypony so he didn't have to climb on something to be seen by them. He cleared his throat, shaking a little from every eye on him but he began. "Hi..uh, my name is Venrick Enyeto Dakotah and I am..well, human." Lyra clapped her hooves "yeah!" Logan looked at her weirdly. "After..talkting to Twilight I have realized something.. I am not from this world, I come from a world where humans dominate the world called earth, I was taken away from my world by something that I can't quite explain and came to this on. I am not sure if it was fate or by a random chance, but I know I won't be going anywhere anytime soon...so, enjoy the party and have fun." All the ponies clapped their hooves together and cheered, the music came back on and the party went back into full swing. Venrick sighed softly and walked back towards the table of food, as he got to the table he got a plate of different pastries, treats, found a place to sit and started to eat. It tasted amazing, the brownies were soft and tasty, the cake was moist and soft, cupcakes exploded with taste and the pie was simply to die for. "Oh my god, I want ALL the food here," he thought to himself as he finished his plate. He felt a nudge on his shoulder and he looked to his left, Lyra was standing there with a big smile and two cups of punch floating in the air surrounded by a gold aura. "Want a drink?" "Uh, sure, thank you." "No problem, wunna go sit down somewhere?" "sure, I'm cool with that." Venrick and lyra sat on a couch, lyra using her magic to floated the drink to him. He looked at how it was floating in mid-air and hesitantly grabbed it, his hand felt a little tingle as his hand touched the magic surrounding the cup but went away as the magic did. He took a sip of the cup and looked what was in it. "Is this cherry?" "Mhm, great isn't it? So what's it like were you are from? how many humans live in your world, what's your hobby, do you have magic were your from?" "That's a lot of questions.." "Sorry, it's just humans are so cool from what I read." "Heh, alright, well. In my world there's a lot of conflict due to politics, religion, and people with indifferent minds, there are roughly 7 billion humans in the world, my hobbies are: dressing in armor with foam weapons with other people and smack each other with the weapons, playing music, longboarding, watching movies, and I like to read once and a while." "Oh, wow.." Lyra looked up to him in awe "mmhmm," Venrick replied taking a sip from his cup. "Hey, lyra is it?" "yes." "Do you have alcohol in this world?" "We do, in fact, we have some at this party." "could you bring me a cup, please?" "uh, sure." Lyra got off the couch and headed upstairs. While she went to get the drink Venrick sat there zoned out. "so this is what my life has come to now? Colorful, talk, flying, magical ponies. I don't know if I can get used to this..I really need a drink" Lyra came back with a cup and handed it to Venrick. "here you are." "Oh, thanks." Venrick kicked it back and chugged the whole cup. Lyra watched with wide eyes as he finished it. Venrick looked to Lyra and raised an eyebrow. "You call this alcohol? tastes like lemonade." "Oh, well I didn't know what type of alcohol you're into so I go the one I like." "Well, it's not bad, but I wanna try some of the heavy stuff you have in this world." "Alright, well follow me." Lyra and Venrick headed upstairs, one the second floor was a hallway with three doors, a balcony overseeing the party below with a table full of different kinds of alcoholic beverages and some stallions and mares were talking, and stairs leading to a pink door with party balloons on it. two had signs saying do not open and the other door was closed and some ponies were lining up for it. Venrick kept following Lyra until they got to the drinks. The mares and stallions looked at him, mostly happy smiles. He was looking at the bottles and seeing the alcohol content, one was called, "Maple syrup vodka." "eh, good enough," he though and pours a glass. He took one swig and finished it all. "Easy on the alcohol, don't want you passing out," Lyra said while pouring another one of her lemonade alcoholic drinks. "It takes more than that to get me drunk" Lyra raised an eyebrow "You humans must really like your alcohol." "Yeah, sure I guess." A stallion with a caramel colored coat and brown mane walked up to Venrick and nudged him. "Hey there human, so you think you can hold your drinks." Venrick turns to him and looks down at him. "Who wants to know?" "Names Caramel, and yourself?" "Venrick." "Well, Venrick. Want to make this party a little more interesting?" "How so? "Let's see who can finish ten shots of Applejack's Whiskey first, wins." "Make it ten glasses and you're on, mate." Venrick and Caramel were sitting at a table with ten glasses on each side in the middle of the party, everypony was cheering. Venrick and Caramel were staring into each others eyes with narrow eyebrows. Venrick crossed his arms while Caramel just sat there, Pinkie Pie jumped up behind the table and began to speak. "Alright everypony, we have Venrick on one side and Caramel on the other. Let's see who can down their drinks the fastest! want to say something before we begin?" Venrick smiled. "If I win I walk away with a bottle of my choice." "Just knowing I beat a human at a drinking contest is enough for me," Caramel replied. "Alright, everypony get ready!" Caramel reached for the first drink as well as Venrick. "GO!" Pinkie cried. Caramel was quick to put the glass to his mouth and started chugging the drink, Venrick smiled and watched before taking two glasses, Finishing the first in one swig and the second with one swig. The ponies were going wild and cheering. Caramel looked at Venrick and couldn't believe what he saw, Venrick on his third glass while he just finished his fist. Venrick kept at his technique by holding two glasses and finishing them really quick. By the time Caramel was on his 5th Venrick slammed the tenth glass down. "VICTORY!" He yelled and threw his hands in the air. All the ponies clapped their hooves and cheered for Venrick. "How!" Caramel asked looking at the empty glasses in front of Venrick. "Being Australian!" He said with a big smile and laughing. Ponies laughed at his statement while Caramel looked down in defeat. Later, He took a unopen bottle of maple syrup vodka from the table and began to sway a little while descending the stairs to look for Twilight. He bumped into Lyra who gave him a big smile. "Wow you really did it, you beat Caramel at the drinking game. Besides Big Mac, no pony has beaten him." "Aw yeah, well. I'm looking for Twilight because the drinks are starting to kick in and I rather get into a bed before doing something stupid." "Well, if you want we can go back to mine. I have a bed you can sleep in." Lyra gave Venrick half-lid eyes and a little smile. Venrick looked at her eyes for a couple of seconds. "well, my stuff is at Twilights. If my stuff was with me I'd take you up on that offer. but, for now. Time to find Twilight." Venrick walked away still searching for the purple pony, Lyra watched with a sad look. Bonbon walked up to Lyra and narrowed her eyes. "Did you just try to-" "N-NO!" Venrick keeps stumbling around and eventually finds Twilight with her friends. "H-hey, Twilight. I, uh. really need a bed to lay on.." "after that little stunt with Caramel I wouldn't doubt it.." "can I like, crash at yours since my stuff is there?" "uh, sure it shouldn't be a problem." "Great! See you in the morning! Later girls" Venrick started to walk towards the exit. "Venrick, won't you need help getting back?" asked Twilight. "naaaah, I remember the way, I should be able to make it back" Venrick walked out of sugar cube corner with a bottle in one hand and stumbled his way to Twilights castle. After thirty minutes of stumbling around and trying to find the castle he finally found it and opened the door. As he closed it behind him he pressed his back against the door and looked to the ground, giving a soft sigh. He kept walking through the halls and made his way to the bedroom. He opened the door and scanned the bedroom, the bed was tidy, his things were where he left them and everything seemed to be in order...a little too much in order when he and the girls left. Everything was really tidy then he last left, "Since magic is a thing in this world I bet she just used some cleaning spell of something, I don't know.." He just noticed the door on the left that was mostly glass and it led to a balcony with two chairs on it. He opened the door and sat on one of the chairs, looking out towards the town. He could see far and wide of the land and all the houses scattered out across it, some houses still had lights on and he could see the town hall and Sugarcube corner, well, just the top of it. He opened the bottle he held in his hand and held it out. "To me being taken away from my family, my friends, my world, and to this strange unknown world with talking ponies and fucking magic," he began drinking from the bottle, a tear fell from his cheek followed by another one, he held the bottle out again. "Oh, and to being the ONLY human in this godforsaken land, the last of my people, to that, I say FUCK IT!" He drunk and more of the bottle. He only got half way before it fell out of his hand and onto the floor. He attempted three times to pick up the bottle and was successful on the fourth, he put the lid on it and sighed. "guess that's enough now...." He stumbled towards the bed, putting the bottle under the bedside table, He took off his shirt, threw it to the chair that had his things on it, and climbed into bed. He stared at the ceiling and sighed again, relaxing his body, he put his arm over his eyes and smiled. "At least this bed is really comfy, today has been really fucking weird, let's just hope it isn't as bad tomorrow." With those words, he started to drift off and sleep. Author's Note Writers block is annoying, but got through it. hope this alright, enjoy! See you in the next chapter
