Current location: the Crytal Empire, west to the city, The Abandoned  Cabin(selfnamed)

Well, what should i write in this? I was never that Diary writing type, but what strange(and AWESOME!) thing happened to me, i should document it, i guess. So here we go:  Now i am a pony. I know here this shouldnt be suprise, but four hours ago i wasnt a pony at all.

And i not existed in this universe either.I was a human,lived in my own world without magic, with my parents and i was a fan of a certain cartoon show My little pony:friendship is magic. Yeah a brony. A closet one more specifically. Dont ask me how i have arrived here, your guess is just as good as mine.Not an expert in this kind things. Well lets go in chronological order in the events, shall we?

-I wake up in the woods, laying in the snow some hours ago

-I realized immadietly that my "bodily condition" changed and sorta losed myself for a little(lots of cursing)

-After i calmed down and tested the waters with my new body moving around, i decided to search for civilization or at least some shelter

So im in Equestria, more specifically in the Crystal Empire, as a pony. And in my new homebase in The Abandoned Cabin. You can see the city from the front porch of the cabin, in matter of fact its seems close enough to reach it with some walk. As for my new home, from outside it looked old, but you can never know these things, so i carefully knocked on the door first before i broke in.(its a bit harsh word for it the door was a bit stucked because the lack of use, but was not locked) in the inside i seed that this place have not seen use in a few years at least, from the looks how dusty it was and full of cobwebs.Well if nopony else use it then i will! Dont judge me! I always wanted  a log cabin home, so have to grab the chance.  As for the the interior, the house haved a bedroom with a desk and yeah, a bed with sheets, pillow and all that stuff, a bit was dusty, i worked that out, and since i was there, cleaned the whole cabin too, and finded some awesome stuff there and there. I finded that the desk in the bedroom haved lots of unused paper, some still usable ink and a dip pen(so i can write this now). in the bedroom was a closet too, but all it haved was just a red scarf with white stripes, still it was in considerably good shape, so after i dusted it out i decided that i will wear it.(Despite having fur now i still feeled the cold)and a double sided old saddlebag, faded brown in color. While cleaning the cabins kitchen i found a lot of food cans in the cabinets, i seed no expiration date on them so they should be still good to go and an old can opener, you know that kind wich looks like some serial murderers weapon. So i can open them wich is good thing too. In the living room, i founded an old broom, its like which the witches use in the fairytales or in the fantasy storys but it makes work done and i cleaned the whole thing out. The living room is not closed off from the kitchen area, but that makes sense with that pot belly furnace in the living room, it should be used to cook too. the living room consist the furnace, an old red couch with some yellow patches on it there an there which  is facing the furnace, next to it paralell to the wall an empty bookcase with and old stormlamp on it(i checked, its not the usual kind, it works with some magic crystal i guess, i need to use it sparingly, dont know how much charge has it in) and a large basket next to the furnace with a hatchet and a half box woodmatches, probably for the firewood. As i cleaned the cabin i think i have solved the mistery what befuddled the bronys, that how can grab non-unicorns grab things with their hoofs.Well its quite simple(elementary you can say), the hoofs of the pony are pretty solid(so can Applejack buck the trees) but they have also two soft pads on the inner side which allows them(us now) to grab things. Though its grip not so good or is as versatile as the hands but you can manage with it. Decided i have enough from the chill, i checked the furnace for ashes, but it proved itself empty so no need to clean that out, thank you very much. I placed the matchbox on the top of the furnace and grabbed the basket with the hatchet with my mouth and headed out to found some firewood. I founded a fallen tree not much further from the cabin wich i using the hatchet with mouth and hoof, somehow converted into usable fire wood  and filled the basket with it and i dragged it in the snow towards my new home, withan intent using it. And in right time too, its began to get dark and i seed some clouds starting to roll in from north, probably filled with more snow. I reached safely the cabin and moved inside with my cargo, after i closed the door behind me i begin to start a fire in the furnace, praying silently that the chimney wouldnt be clogged. I sacrificed a paper from the bedroom desk but i managed to lit a fire in the furnace and thankfully finded that it works wonderfully.It warmed the cabin up so i dont needed the scarf anymore so i put it back to the closet. Suprisingly it i helped a lot to fend off the cold while i was out searching for wood. Which maked me somewhat hungry, so i opened a can open with the ancient opener, a tomato soup one. I grabbed a spoon too from one of the kitchens drawers, and wanted to start eating right away, but i stopped. Who knows how long was this tin in the cabinet, so its better to play it safe, even if this things are almost everlasting. With a brilliant idea striked in, i simply cooked it on the furnace . So i haved a WARM and delicious soup for dinner.

So we have reached our current time right now i am here in the bedroom at the desk writing this at the light of the magic storm lamp(The sun goed down fifteen minutes ago) while listening the wind howling outside and the occasiaonal crackle from the fireplace. I looked outside the window of the bedroom, its started snowing too it seems. This somehow makes me feel so xmassy, where i lived before the last big snowfall was when i was just a little kid. ever since there was just black christmas.... It seems i have derailed a bit. Well now i am a pony in Equestria i guess, like in those fanfictions. Except in those the protagonist always end up in Ponyville, not in the Crystal Empire in the north. Not that its that much problem it think, If i would to appear there they would figure out in no time that im not from here, so much for living a normal life.

Right now i have time to examine my new body i think. I looks i am a dark chocolatebrown stallion(thank for all beings i was not genderbent!)

a spikey(heh) short white-blonde mane and tail, dark green eyes and an earth pony too(i checked my reflection on the glass window, yeah no horn, no magic, no wings )Oh and i dont have a cutiemark.Hence i said they would figure out in no time that i am not from these parts.

Ce'st la vie! How the french would say. Oh crap! I just recognised something! Its fact that im in Equestria mind of you(if im not in coma, or that sorta thing) but WHEN? Before i arrived the Sixth season just ended in the show.What if i arrived earlier? If this even a canon universe.

I dont wanna deal with those time travel things! If i screw up something, it will end in fallout equestria! Ok calm down, me. Lets look it rationally, like..like Sherlock! Yes that lets do that! What i know?Im in north just next to the Crystal Empire. Ok thats help a bit, its there, so Shining and Candence should be married now, and they defeated Chryssy for the first time, so thats done for sure. But Spike has saved it from Sombra? Has Flurry Heart born yet? The Crystalling?Thorax? Theres so many questions! And i am in  need some answers i guess. I thinked it before but it seems it would be necessary to go in the city tomorrow. I must anyways because even if i have food and water( i melted some snow in a pot) but they would not last forever. I need bits for buying food and other things, so i need a job, plain and simple.

Thats settled it then, beware Crystal Empire for tomorrow....ehh yeah i need a name i think, a PONY name naturally, i dont want unwanted attention towards myself. Maybe the name of my Ponysona?Though my Ponysona was an unicorn, but why not? Its not like they would know.

So beware Crystal Empire for Ebony Lock's coming at ya! ...Tomorrow. If the weatheris good. Now i puts some more wood on the fire and then go to sleep. Tomorrow there will be some walking.

Ebony Lock out.
