The smell of grass was the first thing to greet the man who was slowly returning from unconsciousness. The man in question was in his 20s, had a pale complexion and dark brown hair. His left eye was chestnut brown while his right had an icy blue tone. His clothing were simple, a black shirt, a pair of blue jeans, brown shoes and a thick dark green coat.

The second thing to greet him was the uncomfortable brightness of the sun as he opened his eyes. He quickly closed his eyes and tried to shield them with his arm, only to realise that he couldn't move it. He tried to move other body parts, but the only thing he could move freely was his eyes. He couldn't even speak, but thankfully, he could breathe. Sleep paralysis wasn't an unknown experience for him, so he didn't immediately panic. He slowly opened his eyes to examine his surroundings. A tall mountain towered over him to his right and on it's side he could see white structures of some kind. To his left was a field which was dotted with the occasional tree.

‘Where the f**k am I and how did I get here?’. He thought to himself as he looked around trying to determine his location as well as how he got there. He tried to move his body again only to fail. He tried for several moments to force his body awake, but to no avail.

‘COME ON!’ He mentally screamed at his body. ‘WAKE UP!’ But no matter how much he tried to force it, he couldn't move his body and panic was starting to settle in his mind. His eyes moved around frantically and he started to hyperventilate. Normally he is not the kind of guy to panic, but waking up, paralysed, in the middle of a field, in an unknown territory is cause enough for most. He had never felt this exposed in his entire life. Suddenly he heard several voices in the distance.

“OVER HERE! I found somepony.” He heard someone shouting.

‘Who's out there?’ He mentally screamed only to be reminded that he was still paralysed. ‘GOD DAMN IT! Why can't I move my body?’ The frustration was soon replaced by confusion as he suddenly heard the sound of several pairs of flapping wings shortly followed by the sound of hoofs.

‘The f…?’ His thought was interrupted as he noticed that he was being surrounded by at least 20 ponies all clad in golden armor. This, in it if itself, was a strange sight to behold, but something even stranger was the fact that he could see wings poking out of their back. The confusion stirring inside him wasn't helped when one of the ponies actually addressed him.

“You there! Rise!” It ordered as it approached him. It's voice deep and unrefined.

‘WHAT IS GOING ON?’ He wanted to run as far away as possible even though he stood little chance of outrunning a herd of ponies at the best of times. Let alone a herd of freaking pegasi.

“I will not ask this again creature. Now STAND!” It's face was now towering over the poor paralysed man lying on the grass.

‘COME ON!’ He frantically begged his body to spring into action or at the very least let him use his voice. All he could do was brace for the worst when yet again he heard the sound of flapping wings. It was almost inaudible and the strange thing was that he suddenly felt a sense of calm washing over him.

“At ease captain. Stand down.” The voice was feminine, gentle, melodic and powerful all at once.

“As you wish your highness”

‘Highness?’ He thought to himself as he noticed that something was blocking the sun. He looked up and was astounded by what he saw. Looking down on him was a horse of the purest white with what looked like an aurora attached to it's head. There was a long slender horn sticking out of the head. There was no mistaking its status as a royalty. It was adorned with a golden crown and it also had a golden ornament around its neck with a magenta coloured gem of some kind in the middle of it. The gems colour perfectly matched the colour of it's kind and wise eyes.

‘......?’ Was all he could say to himself as he looked up into its eyes. It lowered itself down to his level and carefully placed the horn on his forehead and to his amazement, it started to glow. His eyes widened as he felt a warmth spreading through his body. After a short moment it stood up and spoke to the captain.

“He's completely paralysed from the neck down. Take him to the the infirmary at once.” It said in a tone that wasn't to be questioned.

“With all due respect your highness. The creature could be dangerous.” The captain tried regardless as he sensed hesitant to bring the so called creature to a place where it could potentially harm someone.

“I appreciate your concern, but I do not sense that he poses a threat as he is currently both alone and paralysed. Now take him to the infirmary this instant.” The paralysed man in question listened and pleaded that they would listen to the big white horse. He couldn't explain it, but for some reason he felt safe near it.

“Forgive me your highness. I was merely concerned as the creature is not known to us.” The captain turned to the group of pegasi. “You heard the princess now move! “

The man on the grass began to feel tired as the adrenaline left his body. He heard the white horse’s voice before the world around him turned dark.

I've been writing this for a while and I finally worked up the courage to publish it. I'm writing this simply because I want to, but another reason is that I want to improve my writing skills.
