I Wake Somewhere Strange
A New View on Myself
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWhoever used to live in this castle I must say had decent taste. I have thought about asking the other in my head who used to own it. But I don't feel like conversing with it for such useless details would be good. Should things go wrong between us I don't want to grow attached. I have probably been looking around here for a few hours now (I think I haven't exactly had a good grasp on time since I have woken up.) and I think I have a decent look going for me now. I need to find a mirror of course to make sure.
But as there was not any clothes made for me and only horse clothes I had to get creative. So I took some violet (I think the names violet) drapes and fashioned a type of dress out of them. Then I made really bad looking gloves from what I had left over just to avoid possibly killing the first person I shake hands with. (or hooves with I don't know how to word it) I may not remember a lot but killing someone as soon as I introduce myself probably won't go over well.
My plan for right now is keeping the little friend in my head a secret because if they were going to force it off the first host I definitely don't want them to think I'm in cahoots with it and hopefully I can actually get into this society. I mean that is if there even is a society this is the first building I've seen and apart from last night there is no one but me in here.So for all I know this colony? Yea lets call it a colony for now. This colony could just be like traveling brutes that just evicted somebody from someone else.
I should probably ask this Nightmare for more information but I'm not to keen on that. Right now at least but first things first. I need to find a mirror. With this new goal in my head I start moving through the rooms again passing a library. I quickly make a mental note to come back here later and see if I can possibly learn anything of value.
After going through a few more rooms. All of them useless to me right now. I come along one with a mirror. Giving myself a mental good job head pat. I go over to it, to my annoyance its covered with so much dust that it completely blocks out all detail. Yea this place is definitely abandoned. I start wiping off the dust going from the bottom up. I get the mirrors dust free (relatively) after a few minutes and look at my body in the makeshift dress.
It looks fairly well. The gloves I made are atrocious essentially just me wrapping the material around my hands just to cover them. The dress it self has a sort of princess feel to it. A princess in poverty but it will do. My hair is start white surprising very clean considering I have slept outside twice so far.What caught my attention finally would scare anything. (It even scared me) It was my eyes. Honestly this is just truly horrifying they look like something you would tell children at night to keep them behaving.
The first thing to note is the lack of a iris and pupils. The eyes are as white as marble. Except for the fact they there are black lines covering them like they are bloodshot. The black lines continue past my eyes To my temples and the bridge of my nose.
"There goes any hope of me being a model."
You just keep getting more interesting don't you?
"If by interesting you mean horrifying then yes quite."
Sure you might scare a few ponies here or there but you could also have fun with it.
I suppose she has a point but not only am I apparently dead(or just don't have a heart which could be worse) but I also will look eternally angry. Getting past my eyes my whole look isn't that bad all things considered I can be considered attractive. Which does bring me a little bit of joy.I always like looking good or do I? I still need to sort my memories out.
Caera?
"Huh what?"
What are you planning to do if I may ask?
"Oh I was going to ask you where the nearest town is if there even is one."
An easy question to answer the nearest town is Ponyville followed by the nearest city Canterlot.
I have to pause for a second. Do people really name there towns and cities that? I don't know why but this just bothers me. It's not horrible but its there just a sort of distaste for those names.Its probably nothing and I am sure the feeling will pass but its there for now.
"How far is um Ponyville?"
Not far at all simply follow the path out of the main entrance and you will arrive in a matter of one to two hours.
Hmm that does not seem to bad. But I should pry for more information first.
"Anything of value for me to note of Ponyville?"
From my last visit I could tell that it is more rural and in the town everypony knows everypony and that the six Elements of Harmony reside there.
"Do I need to worry about these um Element of Harmony?"
If they do not know of me and if you show that you mean no harm it is safe to assume no.
"Can you give me a quick description of what the Elements of Harmony are?"
The Elements of Harmony are six magical artifacts that wield the power of friendship to protect Equestria from all danger.
Hmm I see and don't understand at all but I guess it answered me. Now all that's left to do is make first contact and I set off to do just that.
