The warm hug of the sun was all I felt as I was stirred from unconsciousness. But, that good feeling was soon overlapped by the pain wrapped all over the left side of my body. It felt as if I had been stabbed over and over mainly my left arm and hand yet still minor pain all over the rest of that side and some on my right side. I slowly opened my eye but than realized it felt almost impossible to open my left eye. After I gathered my senses for the most part the first thing I noticed were my left lens was cracked and nearly useless, but my right lens were completely fine. I still had the problems of using only my right eye, namely more blurry vision and lose of depth perception. After taking a breather and standing up I noticed I was in the middle of a opening in a forest and I was near the middle of it, in fact I was in the middle of a small crater which I have no idea how I caused something even a quarter of that size. I then proceed to use my right arm for the single reason my left arm felt the need to not respond to my desires to check my phone to make sure it wasn't cracked, lucky enough it wasn't cracked at all. I checked the battery life to see it at 86%, with no Wi-Fi. I turned off the Wi-Fi so it wouldn't waste power searching for a signal. I than saw there was nothing and I mean nothing around me, no towns or cities, no radio towers, nothing. Although my best chance was the smoke that seemed to be coming from my left inside the forest. I than proceeded to keep quiet walking through the forest making sure I was staying north following my phones compass as I made it through the forest taking more time than I could have by avoiding predators and staying on course. I made it through the forest soon getting a eerie feeling yet ignoring it because the eerie feeling was most likely predators stalking me. I started sweating as I made it closer and than I somehow felt something stalking me without hearing or seeing it. Knowing this I reached picked up a decently big stick and swung it around me and hit something square in its... mouth or muzzle maybe? When I turned around I saw a... wood... wolf? Now my thoughts ran wild telling we why was a giant wooden wolf alive, and how was it alive. At this points my body was sweating bullets I quickly ran  north which came without incident lucky enough for me I came across a wood hut with smoke coming out its roof with creepy voodoo like masks hanging from the branches around.

"Ok that's a bit creepy but who am I to judge a persons beliefs based on what they own, who knows maybe their nice people?" I said reassuring myself that there wasn't anything wrong with anyone living there. With that I knocked on the door of the tree hut thing.

"The door is open so please come in" A voice that didn't sound anything like I've heard before. But, nonetheless I obliged and welcomed my self in. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was a zebra with a Mohawk.

I than proceeded to scream, "WHAT THE FUCK!" with that the 'Zebra' whipped its head around and than its jaw literally hit the floor, causing my jaw to also drop at the same time. "I don't know what the hell I've been smokin but something is definitely up here"

The zebra than cringed at me and said "I could ask the same to you but that would be very rude."

I than dropped my jaw two fold and started murmuring different things I could've used to get here "Not cocaine, not heroine, not having a acid trip, not drunk, welp aren't I just a lucky fucker"

The zebra once again said something assuring I wasn't asleep "I don't know why you are here so please tell me so I may hear"

I replied "First cut that shit out, second I have no clue how I got where ever here is"

The zebra replied "I will quit rhyming if you can quit cussing"

I sighed "Deal." I held my hand out and shook its hoof. "Also could you help me with this-"

"Zecora" Zecora said

"- Zecora" I said flagging down my entire left side. He? than put a smile on... his face? I couldn't really tell in all honesty. But, I chose not to be rude to him.

"I would be glad to help  you-"

"Brendan, but call me Dan, please"

"Dan, could you please come over here and drink this" She said as she fished a bottle with a red liquid inside of it out of a chest. "Drink this and it should heal you"

"I don't know how that works but I'll try it" I said as I grabbed it and chugged it, note that it tasted horrible.

"Wow I've never seen someone chug a healing potion top to bottom" He said as he giggled? The hell guys don't giggle... Oh my god I though she was a guy...

"It was still pretty nasty Mrs. Zecora" I decided to confirm my suspicions

"Please don't call me Mrs. Its just not right" I'm glad I did that which I nodded my head in confirmation to her.

"Well my eye feels a lot better now" I said as I opened my eye and it burned really bad but I forced it open anyway.

"Oh my Celestia! Your eye! Its bleeding and looks different!" she told me, wait what? My eye different and bleeding? She than gave me a mirror and I looked into it and I didn't expect to see a normal eye except it was lightly bleeding and it had a ring halfway between the skin and the pupil, and it hurt like a lot though, something about this eye felt different but, I can't seem to figure out what feels so different. I just feel like I'm somehow seeing more.

"Zecora, do you have any idea what this could possibly be? Anything that could help me figure out what it is?" I said, I mean it can't be bad I just want to know what it was.

"My guess is as good as yours but, from the way the ring is shaped it's probably a manifestation of magic in t-" "Let me cut you off right there Zecora but really? Magic? The stuff of myth and fairytale?" "- no not fantasy magic, real magic." she said.

"Yea... no that's not rea-" as if knowing what I was going to say she said "Explain the potion." "-Well the potion is probably a... early... herb medication." I said unsure "Wrong its magic, and it probably over accelerated the repairing process of the eye and overstimulated it."

"..." I said nothing. Well there goes my brain.

"But, I may be wrong you should ask Twilight Sparkle just to be sure, I think I'm right but who knows." she said with a half silent chuckle.

"Where would she be exactly?" I asked making sure to start making a map of the land.

"About a tenth of a mile away from here is a path to a town called Ponyville head east after that for about three fourths of a mile, her house is a giant living tree can't miss it, got it?" She said slower to make sure I got everything.

"Got it, thanks Zecora your a life saver." I said in a happy tone. I swear I'd be lost without her.

Figuring it would be a good 2 hours before I got to this place I turned on a some music on my random list, now let me tell you I am a huge fan of rock and a fan of good electronic or techno music with a tiny bit of pop here and there. For now I'll listen to some classic rock.

I silently started humming the tune to the song over the next hour until this, 'Sixth Sense' I'll call it kicked in. I spun around and was greeted with a tranquilizer dart to the arm. "Fuck." I muttered to myself. I unbuckled my belt buckle and tightened it around my arm to hopefully stop some of the flow or at least minimize it. I threw a rock in the direction the dart came from and was greeted with another shot, but this one to the hip. The last words out of my mouth were "sunva... bit... ch..."

?<<

What is that thing... looks like some hairless monkey, maybe a new species? I think I'm gonna have to take it down and bring it back to study. I than shot a tranq dart at the beast. It seemed to understand what I did and wrapped something around its arm to stop blood flow, maybe it has some intelligence. It somehow saw me before I left any indication, odd... I must be getting sloppy. It threw a rock straight at me, which may I add ALMOST HIT ME. No pony has every came that close to hitting me, ok now I've got to clean this up fast. I shot another tranq and this one took it out almost instantly. "Heh your a tough one arentcha" I said smugly. Well time to get this thing back for examination.

I woke up with a feel of less pain but yet I felt like I was tied down. I opened my eyes to see I was and I was connected to a bunch of machines. "What the hell..." I muttered silently to myself.

"Subject is awake" I heard a voice say. I snapped and screamed at it to let me out "Subject is also violent" Violent, VIOLENT? I'll be fucking violent all right. "Interesting subject also seems to increase in power when angry mainly in the left eye, odd..." I realized the straps were to tight to escape. I than saw a pony in a hazmat suit covering it and its face completely. It than injected a needle into my left eye, A FUCKING NEEDLE! "AGH FUCK YOU I WILL GUT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IF YOU DONT FIX MY EYE RIGHT NOW YOU FUCKING BASTARD ASS BITCH!" The pain was so unbearable I kept screaming and than it happened. The straps on my body broke and I ripped the needle right out of my eye which was now bleeding furiously. I opened both eyes and looked at him.

"Wh.... what are you!?" He said in a panicked tone.

"Your best nightmare buddy." I said violently staring at him. His ears flopped down and I hit him so hard in the head his eye popped out of his skull.

"Oh you see that buddy I hit you so fucking hard I popped your eye out your skull, and oh what a beauty it is" I said as I ripped out the eye. He faintly gurgled trying to scream and failing miserably. "Something wrong? Cat got your tongue?" I said as I ripped out his tongue and  threw it on the ground. "Now have you learned not to FUCKING INJECT NEEDLES INTO PEOPLES FUCKING EYES!" I screamed and he shook his head furiously. "Good but, something like this can't be redeemed so, I'll give you the ultimate mercy instead. I stomped his skull in and walked out the room leaving a dead carcass on the ground. I looked for my clothes and items. Finding what I was looking for I went into his shower room washed the blood off using some basic soap to stop the blood stench coming from my body. I put my clothes on, got my phone and notebooks than left.

The fresh flow of the air coming over me felt amazing, like a hot shower after a cold winter night. Although the feeling of my eye being stabbed and unusable was painfully obvious. I came out of a bunker in the middle of a town, which I think was Ponyville so I went back into the bunker after realizing it was approaching night so I decided to sleep I covered my eye with a ripped off piece of clothing, ate some bland ass cereal and went to sleep.
