We were stuck in that town for what felt like ages, it was almost sundown when they decided that I should stay with Fluttershy because they couldn't find my 'owner' in town nor could they find a missing human report that matched my description. Everyone except for Fluttershy were cautious about me staying over with her at her cottage.

Let somehow Fluttershy was able to get her friends to agree with her, on letting me stay here. They really did felt scared for their friend, and I could understand why. The humans of this world are much more stronger than them, and could easily kill one in their sleep. I had to compare one human of this world's to an ape, or a gorilla.

Something was bothering me however it was more about me that the humans of this world. I know I should've felt disgusted, angered or even miserable; on how my people were treated like mindless animals. The problem is I just don't feel anything, I cant explain it other than I feel void of emotion. Like I don't care even though I know I should care about them as a human being.

Anyway I am now alone with Fluttershy and with her animals friends that live with her. We had dinner which felt odd for me, especially on how was I going to eat with the mask on. Let with some time I discovered I was able to move it upwards enough to my nose. However as far as removing it goes it seems to be made with the same purpose as my clothing. Dinner was a mix of various fruits and vegetables, I didn't expect meat because they were herbivores. However the fruit was very tasteful, better than any thing I ever had.

Fluttershy was in the kitchen, she was cleaning what was left of dinner, while I was in the living room thinking about my life trying to remember anything I could. Fluttershy's animal friends were all staring at me watching my every move. They seem to be unsure on how they should feel about me, they seem to look at me and tilt their heads with curiosity. One in particular that seemed to be the Fluttershy's main pet was a white rabbit, who sniffed up at my leg probably trying to identify me as friend or foe.

It hopped away when Fluttershy came back into the room. The little rabbit hopped to her and onto the couch where it then hop up on her back. Fluttershy treated it like it was a normal everyday thing for it to do so. "Okay everypony it's time to go to bed" she said softly. Causing her many animal friends to head towards their beds, may it be up in a bird house or elsewhere in the house they listened to her. She then turned to me and gave me a soft warm smile "Come now Sliver" she cooed heading up the stairs.

I followed her up the stairs and down the hall passing two doors on the right and one on the left. She led me to another door which she opened reveling a room with a small bed and a window. "This will be your room Silver, come now let me help you get into your bed" she explained before hovering over to the bed and began moving the sheets.

I climbed into the bed which was very soft and comfortable, while Fluttershy covered me with the bedsheets. "Goodnight Silver" she said before leaving the room and closing the door. I watched the door and listen carefully or as careful as I could to hear where Fluttershy went off to. However I wasn't successful and I couldn't hear her hooves against the wooden floor from behind the door of my bedroom.

Poor girl she does care, too bad I cant stay, I just need to clear my head and understand what is going on exactly. I sat up and looked out the window to gaze upon the light of the moon and it's starry neighbors. The constellations were not the same as well, making me draw another difference from this world and mine.

I sat there staring at the moonlight for who knows how long. I slowly and carefully crept out of the soft warm bed and over to the door. I slowly twisted the handle and pulled the door open. There was a small creak that had escaped from the door as pulled, but it was nothing that could have alarmed anyone or thing nearby.

I stalked my way down the corridor passing the first two doors till I had gotten to the last where it was left ajar. I peeked my head in to spot another bedroom, where Fluttershy was in deep sleep under her covers. I walked over to her being as careful as I could not to wake her.

Now staring down at her it raises a question on just how they had enslaved my race. From the ponies that have I seen, they seem to not have the backbone to keep humans in line, unless they are the military or have power to subdue one like Twilight. Honestly I could end her innocent life right here and it would be so fast that she wouldn't feel it. However I had no reason to do so, she was nice to me and treated me with some respect.

I shook away those thoughts brought my attention on why I left my room. I was going to escape tonight to get myself as far from these ponies as possible. Then something caught my attention from the corner of my eye.

I turned to face a shimmer of light, when I saw the mirror. It was a silhouette of a slim man, then that voice of my mysterious friend questioned me. "Where are you going to go once you leave and what will you do then?"

He was right, I was lost in a alien world where I had no real knowledge of. What was I thinking?

"Correction you weren't thinking Thomas" the voice said causing my eyes to widen in disbelief, did he just read my mind? "I cannot discuss this with you right now, I'm using too much of my energy to speak. Just go to sleep here for the night, you can escape tomorrow night" he advised me. He's right I don't have a plan after I had escaped. "See you soon " he said as the silhouette dispersed and was replaced with my reflection.

I glanced at Fluttershy seeing if the voice had awaken her, luckily she had not stirred from her location. I slowly exited the room the way I entered and shut the door as silent as I could, and made my way down the hallway back to my room. Shutting the door silently and getting into the bed once more, I felt that feeling once more as I close my eyes.


It was dark as night and cold as Ice, soft hums echoed from the darkness. The figure in front of me was darker than anything I had ever seen, it was like a black hole had appeared in front of me sucking the very light out of the darkness. Suddenly a beam of light appeared from behind him, turning the night to a dark grey. "Thomas" the voice vocalize as his eyes of a glowing white fire opened.

"Now tell me what are you, who am I, how did I get here and why cant I remember anything that happened till this afternoon?" I basically cried out to it. Only to be met with a tilt of the head.

"Who am I?, that's a good question. " the voice replied grabbing it's chin before snapping his fingers of shadow. "You can call me Light, and for who exactly you are. You're Thomas Wanedon, a former farmer from the town of Bath in England" he continued causing slight glimpses of my house and the farm I once grew up on to appear. However they were only glimpses no real memories of family or anything. "I suppose you would like to know more about your family and friends?" the voice stated.

"That can wait, how did I get here and where are you exactly. How can we communicate without being near each other?" I asked Light.

There was silence for the most part, until he let out a chuckle that caused my skin to crawl. "We opened a trans-dimensional gateway here. Sadly your memories being loss is a side effect of that said gateway. As for how we are currently communicating, well... I guess you can say that I'm in your head. How that came to be is a very complicated story and wait... do you feel that?" he questioned as a warmer presence started to take the void. "We're not alone anymore. You must wake up!" he voiced as a mist started to engulf us.


I quickly sprung up like one who had just recently been in horrific a nightmare. Questions started to fill my mind once more, many of which was about Light and what he is or was. Another was that warmer presence and what it could of have been. The fear of what might happen once I went to sleep had over taken me and was making it hard for me to sleep for the rest of the night. The sun was finally rising as I started to fall back to sleep once more. Maybe I could get some actual shut eye before, I am bothered today.
