To Go Beyond

Dark sky was looming ahead, and it was filled with a massive amount of stars and a bright white full-moon. A testament of the almighty power to which or who created that particular universe.

'What's going on?' Asked my mind.

The feeling suddenly kicked in. A splitting headache that seemed like when someone hit your head with an imaginary baseball bat, by a professional baseball player.

I clutched my forehead with my left hand. Or more precisely, hoof.

After a few seconds tormenting pain that felt like an eternity, the feeling was finally gone.

".... What the fuck... I'm alive?" I muttered.

The phenomenon why I was always whispering to no one at almost every situation was nothing of anyone's concern. Was that because of the fact that I was an introverted person? I did technically never really care about it.

'Forest, grassland, hills, mountains... my hands!'

"What's wrong with me? Where... where is this place?"

Enlightenment then also kicked in.

"Am I a... pony?"

Apparently, from my point of view, I was a light-brown coated pony, with a neck-long, dark mane.

Curiosity was the nature of a human being, curiosity has driven the mankind to create wonders since the dawn of mankind on their homeworld, the Earth. So I stood up to get in front of a mirror or any reflective surface to examine myself. Or just wanted to.

"W-whoa..."

And I fell down like a toddler that tried to walk for the first time, correction, a foal.

"For the sake of..."

I was never a religious person. How could one believed something, ridiculous stories, that clearly created by the other humans only for their own ends was beyond me.

After a few trials and errors, I finally grasped it, of how to be to walk like a pony, although it was actually a bit wobbly.

"So it's just like crawling eh? Hmph..." I sighed.

"Wait, am I really a pony?"

Something then appeared in my vision. In a seemingly far distance, I could see the flickering lights of a civilization. A castle exactly. On a side of a mountain.

"... This, is..." I whispered, still. Confusion mixed with fear and joy. Confusion because I didn't know if I could live on this world. Fear because I was actually a talentless guy that never did something good in my whole life, so why would it be different this time? And joy because I was actually alive and young again.

I put my hoof in front of my head again, and closed my eyes. In other words, I facepalmed, or facehoofed.

'I can't believe this. I'm in that actual child fucking show. Great. And everything is also can be seen with actual, real-life, clearance. Even you can also feel everything like an actual, living pony, no life insurance included, sadly. Nah, never get such a thing anyway, why people would pay for such thing is beyond me, it clearly doesn't prevent one from getting injured or... The fuck am I thinking about?'

Then I also realized that I was alone in a some sort of plains, without any directions to go. In the deep of night.

I patted my head again out of confusion.

"Ha, I'm a fucking unicorn now." I surprised myself after I unconsciously managed to pat my head.

'Now how to figure to cast a spell.' I thought. In that show, casting spell was essential for every unicorn to perform everyday's activities. No spells, no life.

'Concentrate.... come on, just a simple spell...'

Then there was light. More specifically a white light that beamed out from my horn.

I was brimmed with joy like a child who got his wished present from the actual Santa. Actual tears were also flowed from my eyes.

"I... can't believe this..." I wiped the tears from my eyes. "Is this the feel when someone's getting an acid trip? Doesn't matter. Now, where to go now?"

I scanned the horizon to get some view of another civilization.

'Gotcha!'

There, in another direction, another shimmering, but much smaller castle, surrounded by other smaller housing buildings could be seen from my position.

'Good thing I wasn't in some sort of creepy jungle or something like that. Luck shines to those who apparently doesn't need it. Well, I actually need it but, fuck. I'll just go then.'

With a silent resolve added with the illumination from my new magical horn, I trotted my way to the village of the ponies while thinking of some plans to get help from the purple pony princess without actually revealing myself that I was once a human. Or tried to.

Yeah, yeah, I knew a lot of things from that show. So what?

'Highly doubt that hiding such thing would be working to her. It would also probably fine if she knows that I was once a human before. Hope I can get a permission to live here if my intention to left that shit excuse of a life is blown out. It's also uncertain in which episode I landed. But since the castle is already there, she's probably fine that I wasn't really a pony before.'

—||—

The cool, calm wind of the steppe breezed against my path to the lights of civilization.

'Was I actually died then get resurrected? How the hell can I forgot that? Fuck it. I'm young again now. Whomever did this is probably an actual top-grade god. Does there even exist such thing like that? Doesn't matter. Just keep walking, trotting. Having a bad life could rot away someone's sanity, apparently. And did I just died as a virgin? Heh... the universe could always find a way to mock me apparently.'

That was really a long night.
