As I woke up I felt wrong and right at the same time. For one thing I didn't have fingers anymore and I felt more limbs than I'm used to. That felt wrong. But at the same time there was a strong yet gentle feeling close to my heart it felt familiar almost nostalgic and yet completely new.

''You must feel weird right now.'' The voice from the woman from before said. ''That is to be expected you were transferred in your new body. You are now a pony, a Pegasus to be exact.''

There so much I wanted to ask but I felt too disoriented to talk. The Demi-Angel continued to talk. ''You won't be able to move for a few minutes your soul is still adjusting to it's new home. Let me explain a few things while you recover. Oh! I never introduce myself didn't I? I am Gavreel and I am a demi-angel, we have serve the Elders for millenia most of us are knights. But I am simply a doctor, I dislike conflict so medicine was the best path for me.

Anyway back to your situation. You are now a Pegasus I am sorry if you are displease with what you are but we didn't chose what you would become. Your soul chose the tribe you're going to be. We tried to change someone race before but it just end up with them having the wrong kind of magic in the wrong body.'' I began to regain my vision the blurriness melt away and I was left looking at the beautiful woman in front of me. I still could not move though.

''Speaking of magic you must have felt it didn't you? That comforting glow close to your heart? This is your spark the center of your soul. It's always been there but you're just now noticing it because it started becoming stronger due to being exposed to magic.''

I was starting to be able to move once again But I still felt really dizzy. ''You will soon be able to go to Equestria but before you go you should go see The Council. They will explain to you a few rules you must follow and will give you sufficient funds to start your new life. Now I must go, there is plenty of other dead people I must attend to. You can leave when you're ready.''

With that Gavreel left me alone in what I assume was a hospital room. I rubbed the back of my head with a hoof. Man this is weird. To be honest I half expected to wake up in my bed. It's true what they say reality is stranger than fiction.

I got out of bed. My legs shook as I tried to get used to the new body. I looked at my wings only for them to open and hit me in the face. I spit out a feather and looked at a mirror in front of me.

I didn't know if it was just my imagination but everything looked more colorful. Almost as if the world was animated. Maybe ponies eyes saw the world differently than humans? I looked at myself. I thought I looked pretty good but then again I'm not really a expert as what would pass as good in Equestria.

I had a green mane with three black streaks, same for my tail, my eyes were blue and my coat was gray. A little mundane for Equestria standards but I didn't mind it.

With a sastified grin I took my first step as a Equestrian... And proceed to gracefully faceplant on the floor. With a groans I shakily rose back from the floor. I was glad Gavreel was gone that would have been embarrassing.

With a bit of wandering and asking for directions I found myself at the entrance of The Council. A line was formed in front of two huge golden doors. The door had four symbols carved into them. The first one was a quill, the second was a tree, the third one was a skeleton wearing a cloak and holding a scythe and the last one was the Ying and Yang symbol

In front of me were the most varied type of people I had ever seen. There were humans, elves, humanoid cats and dogs and I think I even saw a Zora from The Legend of Zelda. I wonder how many of them are natives and how many are people like me that chose a different life.

I waited a hour before it was my turn to meet The Council. Once I stepped inside I was presented to four beings assembled around a table. The first one was a regal woman with green hair. She looked at me with a smile. There was something off with her expression but I couldn't quite place it

The second one was a dark haired man wearing a cloak. He looked at me with a bored expression. The third one was old man with a very long beard. He held a neutral expression but I could see kindness hidden in his eyes.

The last being was a giant glowing orb floating above them all. The orb was mostly white but a few colors was visible from time to time.

''Welcome to The Council of The Gods.'' The woman said. ''I am Gaia Elder Goddess of life.''

''I am Kira Elder God of death.'' The bored man replied,

''I am Harmony Elder God of balance.'' The old man said.

''And I am Author Elder God of creation.'' The orb finally said. The way Author talked was really weird it was as if dozens of voices both males and females talked at the same time it was really creepy to be honest. The orb continued to talk. ''We the four creators of all life welcome you to the Veil the center of the multiverse. Before you go to your next life we would like to tell you a few laws you must follow.'' The... Thing cleared it's throat.

''Firstly the usual murder, rape, thievery are still not allowed. While murder does not have the same consequences as the Gaia branch killing innocents is still a serious crime and you will be punished accordingly. On the other hand if you kill criminals the consequences will be a lot lesser than in your world but I still don't recomend it. Finally the most serious crime you can commit stealing someone soul. If you ever do that you will be sent straight to the Wasteland prison, am I understood?'' He said menacingly I nodded nervously.

''Good glad we could get that out of the way. Those were the basic universal laws of the multiverse for the rest you will have to follow the laws of any worlds you visit. Now the council will give you five thousands bits to start your life. Do not waste them, it might seem like a lot but once you buy a home these bits will disappear quicker than you can imagine.''

With that a bag containing many coins made of gold appeared in front of me along with a saddlebag. The bearded man was the one to talk next. ''You're going to the world of Equis right? Good choice I always had a soft spot for that world.'' He said with a fond smile.

The hooded man rolled his eyes. ''Making hundred of copies of the same world is not what I would call a 'soft spot' Harmony this is a obsession''

''Now, now children not in front of our guest.'' Author scolded them the both of them shut up. The giant orb turned his attention on me. ''Now you may go, You should proceed into the Great Hall of Worlds. Each world is represented by a symbol if you don't know what the symbol of Equis is I put a picture in your saddlebag. We might meet once again one day. But until that day I wish you a good life young one.'' With a thank you I left The Council chamber and walked in searched of this hall.


The Great Hall was different than I imagined, for one thing it was outside and secondly there was no wall or anything just doors floating in the air each of them marked with a symbol some of them I recognised from popular fictions other I didn't recognize at all.

I looked at the picture Author gave me and I instantly recognize it. It was the flag of Equestria. Celestia and Luna forming a circle along with the Sun and the Moon. Harmony said he was fonded of Equis. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that the flag of Equestria is very similar to his symbol of the Ying and Yang.

I had to walked a long time before I found my door and when I got there I saw mutliple doors leading to different Equestria. Now what? How should I decide which Equestria I go to? But I notice that while most of the door had similar symbol there was slight difference in each of them.

Some doors only had Celestia controlling both the Sun and Moon, on others it was only Luna, some had Luna controlling the Sun and Celestia controlling the Moon. The coloration were also slightly different on each of them.

I looked at the picture in my saddlebag once again and found the matching door. There must be a reason why they chose this Equestria for me specifically right? With a nervous gulp I opened the door and stepped into my new life.


Author's Note

In my original story angels didn't exist at all it was just a title for the knights of The Council. It because in my story there is no ultimate evil or ultimate good there are just people no matter if they are gods or mortals or whatever. Angels in most legends represent pure good so that's why I didn't include real ones in the original. It's also why demons does not exist in the shareverse. But I decided to make a compromise make in sort that Angels did exist but they are now extinct and now all that remains is their 'less pure' offsprings.
