I awoke with a groan, my hand finding it's way to my pounding head. What the fuck happened? I forced myself to open up my eyes, taking a quick look at my surroundings. And where the fuck am I? It was almost too dark to see, the only light source being the small amount of moonlight that filtered through a barred up window placed high up on the wall. The walls around me were made of stone, as was the floor beneath me. I turned my head around to see prison bars, a look of confusion on my face. How the hell did I wind up here?

I sat there for about five minutes before the pain in my head began to subside. Once the pounding in my head had dulled I pushed myself to my feet. As it turns out, that was a bad idea. I placed my hands against the prison wall to catch myself as a wave of nausea passed through me. The only thing that stopped me from upchucking right there was the fact that I hadn't eaten. I let out another low groan as I pushed myself away from the wall, making my way to the bars. I took the bars into my hand, trying to shake them to no avail. Damn, won't even budge an inch. With that observation, I moved onto a new tactic.

"Hey, is anybody out there!?" I shouted, trying my best to peer out of the bars and into the long corridor. I didn't receive an answer so I just sighed, making my way towards the back wall of the cell and placing my back against it, letting myself slide down onto my ass. I brought my hands to my head with a sigh. How had I even gotten there? I did nothing wrong, so why would I be in a cell? It was then that I remembered the moments before passing out. I shuddered, thinking back to my zombie like, green eyes. What was up with those flames? I've never seen anything like it.

My eyes suddenly widened as I remembered something, "Fuck, what about my date? What time is it?" I looked around my cell, hoping for there to be some sort of clock that I had missed. As expected, there was none.

It was at that time that I began to hear the sound of footsteps, a lot of footsteps. I made my way back to the bars to peer out of them, hoping to see my captors. What I hadn't expected to see was some colourful horses making their way towards my cell. What. The. Fuck. There was three of them in total, each one of them sporting a pair of wings along with a horn that sat atop their heads. Alright then, not normal horses. The smallest of the bunch was purple in colour, her mane being mostly a dark indigo. The other two were a little different, their manes fucking flowing in an invisible current. There wasn't even any drafts of wind in here. The smaller of the two was blue in colour, her mane being a lighter shade of blue. Then there was the third one, she was huge, being even taller than myself. I suppose I should say this, the blue one was around chin height with me, her horn making up the rest of my height. The purple one only came up to just above my armpit.

They stopped in front of my prison cell, turning towards me. The purple one seemed to have a bit of fear in her eyes, though the other two seemed relatively calm. I crossed my arms, giving the group a glare. The white one was the first to speak up, "It seems the creature is awake." I would have been shocked if it wasn't for me being so pissed off, being called a creature by these damn horses. I managed to hold my tongue, deciding it would be better to remain silent for the time being.

The purple one looked up towards the tallest of the group, "Is it dangerous Princess?" She looked back towards me. I just glared at her, a small smirk finding it's way onto my face when she took a small step back.

"I'm not sure Twilight, we've never seen anything like it." I continued to glare at the mare that was apparently named Twilight. My glare shifted to the white mare as she stepped closer to the bars. "It could be dangerous or it could be completely harmless, but I'm not willing to take the chance until we know." I was getting tired of being referred to as an it, my glare turning more fierce.

The blue mare that had yet to speak took a step forwards, "Celestia is right, we wouldn't want this thing escaping the dungeon and running around Equestria if it's dangerous."

It was at that point that I had enough, "I'd appreciate it if you stopped referring to me as a thing." I let out in a growl.

It was at that point that I saw the two larger mares step back, seemingly surprised, the purple mares eyes simply went wide. The white mare spoke up, "It would seem that it can talk. Tell us, what are you, who are you, and what are you doing here?"

I spit on the floor at their hooves, "You haven't done shit to earn my name. I also have no idea how I got here, so unless you feel like either letting me out of this damn cell or telling me what happened, you all can go fuck yourselves." With that, I made my way deeper into the cell leaning back against the wall with my arms crossed.

Twilight stepped forward, putting on some sort of bravado, "Hey, show the princess some respect!"

It was at that point that I finally snapped, making my way forward and gripping the bars in anger, "Respect? Why the fuck should I show any of you respect? I have absolutely no idea where I am. One minute I'm getting ready for the night of my life and the next I'm in some damn prison cell surrounded by talking fucking horses. So fuck you!" I pointed my right hand towards Twilight, giving her the finger, "Fuck you!" I pointed my left hand at the unnamed blue mare, giving her the finger as well, "And a huge fuck you to you too!" I moved both of my hands so that both fingers were pointing right at Celestia. I would have laughed at the looks on their faces if I wasn't so unbelievably pissed.

Twilight looked like she was about to yell at me again but was cut off as Celestia took a step forward. Her horn glowed and an audible click could be heard as the cell door unlocked. I can't lie, I was surprised. She opened up the door, "You're right, it isn't fair of us to mistreat you this way and expect you to answer our questions. If you would follow me, we can continue this discussion elsewhere."

I took a moment to stare at Celestia before responding, "Fine. Lead the way." She began to trot off down the corridor as I followed her, the other two mares sticking behind me, probably to make sure I wouldn't try anything. We were out of the dungeon a few moments later, entering a large throne room, guards could be seen standing around, looking towards our group. I looked around confused, "Why is your throne room connected with dungeons? Isn't that dangerous?"

She smiled, "Magic keeps the prisoners from escaping, not that we have many. Even if we did, the guards would be able to stop them before they escaped. You're the first one to sit in one of those cells for quite some time now." I looked towards one of the closer guards, he was wearing some golden armor and wielding a spear. I wasn't much of a fighter, but I did know enough about fighting to notice his tense stance. He was ready to leap into battle, all I needed to do was give him a reason. I decided I'd prefer to not die today, so I just followed Celestia towards the throne. She took a seat on the throne, the other two mares standing off to the side, each one taking a different side. Celestia spoke up once again, "So tell me, what exactly are you?"

I stood in front of the throne, looking like a man on trial, though I suppose I was in a way, "I'm a man, or more specifically, a human." She had a perplexed look on her face, so I continued, "I'm also not from around here if you couldn't guess." She nodded, "Now I have a question for you. What the hell are you?"

Twilight decided she was going to field this answer, speaking up, "My name is Twilight Sparkle, and these two are Princess Luna and Princess Celestia. We're ponies." I slowly nodded, not caring enough to question it. "What is your name?"

"I suppose I can answer that now. My name is Tiberius Bernfield." Twilight mumbled something that I couldn't quite make out. I looked around my surroundings. "Where exactly am I?"

Celestia smiled softly, "You're in Canterlot. What many consider to be the main capital of Equestria." Yep, not on Earth.

"From where dost thou hail and art thou dangerous?" Luna asked.

I rose an eyebrow at her strange way of speaking but answered the question, "I'm from the planet Earth, from a land known as Canada, and of course I'm dangerous. Anything can be dangerous given the situation. Don't give me a reason to hurt anyone and you'll be fine." After answering the question, I decided to ask what I considered the most important question, "How did I get here?"

Celestia's smile disappeared, being replaced with a small frown, "We're not sure. All we know is that you had a large amount of dark magic in your body when you first got here. It seems that when we put you in your cell it dissipated, which means something used a spell to summon you here, though we're not sure who or why."

"So there's no way to get me back?" I asked, fearing the answer.

She gave me a look of pity, "Not until we find whoever cast the spell, and even then we might not be able to get you back. We've never seen this sort of spell before." I felt my hands clench into fists, the urge to punch something growing as I ground my teeth together, Why did it have to happen today of all days? Why did it have to be me? It seemed the guards had noticed, as I was surrounded by two of them, both of them pointing their spears towards me. Celestia held up a hoof, the guards turning to look at her. She motioned for them to back off and they did so, their gaze turning back to me. She began to walk towards me. I took a defensive stance, my fists still clenched. Then she did something unexpected, yet not entirely unwelcome. She hugged me. I just stood there as she wrapped her wings around me, "It's alright, you're going to be fine."

I didn't want to be angry, I really didn't, but I couldn't help it. I spoke, my voice barely above a whisper, "What the fuck do you know?" She let go of me, moving back with a look of confusion, "I just had one of the most important days of my life ruined. I might not see any of my loved ones ever again and even if I do, they probably wont be the same. They probably think I'm dead right now, and you think I'm going to be fine?" I looked her dead in the eyes, speaking in a dull, flat voice "I'll never be the same again." I turned around and walked out of the throne room, nobody trying to stop me as they thought about my words. I let out a sigh as I sat down, my back pressed against a wall.

I had a few minutes to myself before Twilight made her way out of the throne room and smiled sadly towards me, taking a seat next to me. I didn't say a word, let alone look towards her, I simply continued to look across the room. She waited a few seconds before turning towards me, "The princess wants you to come live with me in Ponyville until we figure this whole thing out." I didn't respond with words, merely turning to look at her. I gave her a small nod. She let out a soft sigh, "I'm sorry about what happened. We'll do our best to figure this out."

"Sorry isn't going to send me back. Let's just go. I don't want to be in this castle anymore." I pushed myself up to my feet. Twilight stood as well, beginning to trot towards the throne room. I followed her, not questioning where we were going.

She smiled up at Celestia, "He agreed, but I think it would be best if we got there unseen."

The princess nodded, "Say no more, I'll teleport you both." I saw Celestia's horn light up, encasing the both of us in a magical aura. Celestia gave us both one last smile before we disappeared. That was the last I saw of Canterlot for quite some time.
