Arriving to Beyond
Part 1 of Chapter 1
Canterlot Library, 2032 Equestria
“Well I guess, its time-time to tell you what really happened-how I got here,
15 years ago…” the fillies gathered around you anticipating the story
“Housed to a particular boy, only realizing how life works, trying to live as it were..”
“But sir?” The young colt interrupted, “What is life really like out there?” The colt asked with a raised eyebrow. “Well, I was just getting there.” You said spooling the curiosity.
“Life was dark and full of uncertainty almost like the king of chaos himself birthed the world into existence, streets filled with crime, weather controls itself and everyone was only out for themselves, only sparing a few bright souls that had been given hope for a hopeless world, I was not one of them yet I had felt envious of them, weary that many would come to hate and revolt them, molding them into more of the same, angry selfish souls like the rest of us, some prevail longer than others but only for a moment a short, quiet moment..” You continued, reliving the same story you tell…
Drayton Valley, 2017 Alberta Canada… Earth
‘Another storm swept over today barely missing the small town, if we weren’t in a dark age I’d call us lucky, I wish the storm would hit us and maybe then we would finally have peace for once, maybe…’ I thought, dreary of our existence, dropping the over fried fries into the folded container I added the salt and set it on the counter.
“Order Ready! 72… 72” A co-worker shouted as he took the trey, walking away with it. ‘Another order finished, 2 years of this… of hell I just wish I could leave, forever.’ I sighed; I check the clock 20 after 6, shift over. I took off my hat and handed it to my shift replacement. signing out and walking away to my car…
‘Finally home away from that constant reminder of hell… only to go back tomorrow,’ I cried to myself. But I was swiftly taken from my depressed mind feeling a knife being held against my neck. “Your money, wallet, phone and keys NOW.” The man shouted. “Ok ok, I’ll do it just let me G-grab it ok” I replayed hastily ‘Why am I so scared, for my life. I hate it, why do I feel this way?’ taken back but still in the light of the moment. I just took off my jacket, and handed it to him, he released me, and taking out my keys and driving off with my car or was my car.
I enter my house with my spare keys, shivering. Locater rings.
-“Home… 7:15 PM.”
“God Damn it!” I screamed ramming my fist into the unopened door. I grabbed my spare key and threw it into the lock and opening the door. Closing it locking it behind me and walking to my room, I spot my dad’s old PC quickly turning it on, but I leave it on the lock screen, a picture of my mom and dad me in the middle. It was my birthday that day, and the last one I’d spend with them, I slowly seat myself on my bed just staring at the picture.
They were filled with joy and hope, love and happiness life was awesome, “Hey mom, hey dad.” I spoke to the image “Eight years since then, huh, September 17, 2009, I wish I could… see that world you guys kept talking about.” Tears falling, a faint smile reached me. Remembering their time capsule “I guess it's time now, to open it.” Moving my gaze to the closet and moving to meet it. Opening it couldn’t feel slower, the last thing they gave me before they died grabbing the old box off the shelf and dusting it off, and slowly removing each piece of tape, paper and slowly opening the lid, part of me said open it, the other part said to leave it. Pop, it opened, eyes closed I began to release my curiosity and looked at the contents a small envelope opens greeting me with photos and a note, here your chance to live the life we promised you. I grab each photo one by one, every photo made me feel a more and more of a burning pain. My eyes are crying as I see each photo, Spark. Light, shining from deeper in the box I reach it. Snap, burning, light it consumed me.

Bang, the light was gone and I hit the floor, hearing the words ‘careful what you wish for’ “Ah, my head what the hell…” I checked my surroundings “Grass, Trees, Bushes.” I Hyperventilate. “WHERE THE HELL AM I”…
I try getting up but stopped abruptly when the burning pain increased, I see my whole body on fire. Nothing but the silent crincling of the flame, pain, I scream as the shock wore off and the pain was unbearable, it was like napalm it wouldn't go out and I just passed out...
'Fire, Fire, Fire everywhere,' I wake. I check my surroundings. "Couldren, wood, bottles" I spoke to my self, heart racing I notice the cage I'm in and that the fire was gone. "Please be a dream, god please tell me this is just some dream," I spoke, the words ringing in my ears. "So you are the fire magic, how dramatic" A voice of rhyme rang my ears again, I frantically looked around. "W-whos ther..." I said interrupted by my locator beeping.

" I'm Zecora, nice to meet you, one that speaks, what is it that beeps?" The voice rhymed again this time telling me her name, Zecora.
"Hey whats going on, why am I locked up, SHOW YOUR SELF AND TELL ME WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING" I yelled with intent, she shows herself, a zebra on second thought I'd rather not have known even if the mystery haunted me.
"I see you're scared, given you were unprepared." she rhymed, after noticing my surprise to the talking zebra.
Was I afraid no, I was petrified and once more I passed out.

Locator beeps waking me up
Forest, 2017 Cave. 3:44 pm
Waking now on dry dirt and the smell of rock, I slowly get up rubbing my eyes oblivious to anything around me.
“Hey what’s going on?” I said still half asleep getting to my feet and opening my eyes
Big bodies slept around me like cubs to their mother, they’re asleep, snoring and emitting a green hue from their bodies like a machine but these things, these creatures were alive breathing, moving, snoring, and sleeping like an animal.
One got up and looked to me, fear hit me when I saw the green orbs so I didn’t move but the thing made its way to the light emanating from a large open cave wall, peering out like a scout of a pack would, it steps out revealing what it looked like, a massive wolf but nothing like I’ve ever seen before in my life it had wooden limbs and leaves and bark that were like fir, a body of timber, and I was alive breathing like it was nothing, as if it’s the most normal thing. I felt like screaming, crying, mentally shitting my pants, I could barely breathe it noticed this and came back inside the light grew closer the eyes locked on me and came up and sat next me I froze life flashing before me but it didn’t attack me it just sat there staring at me like I was supposed to do something.
“Oh boy, easy now, what is it you w-want-t?” My hands shook, it whined like a dog that wanted your food, so I did something. I reached over to pet it hoping that it won’t kill me, it didn’t move my hand touching its back stroking the hard lumber that was its back, my hand crawling across its bark and it didn’t attack me so I continued then my stomach growled, the wolf thing barked waking the rest, they all looked at me staring with those menacing eyes expecting me to do something I didn’t know what to do. I look around each one staring at me, so I move towards the entrance walking slowly and carefully, the smaller of the wolves followed me the same one that I was petting only seconds before
“Ok I think I know what you want, food right? S-so let’s find food ok.” I whimpered their ears perked up like they knew what I said, the rush beside me I almost screamed but again they didn’t attack me I walk out the cave finally breathing, now realizing I’ve held my breath the threw out the whole experience.
1 hour, 34 minutes.
‘The wolves have eaten several animals including a bear, and while they were busy I was still trying to get away but after 5 times tried and failed I gave up it’s not like they are trying to kill me anyway they just force me to stay around them like a guardian but against my will, yet I doubt that they care..’ The though rang, pouring salt into my metaphorical wounds, life now was no longer straightforward and obvious back home you had to watch yourself or else and you knew that and you knew something was bad and going to happen unlike here, everything just doesn’t make sense. Like a God of chaos just decided that today was the day pink rainclouds that rain chocolate milk just existed, or talking zebra that mastered Witchcraft and Doctor Sues or magic wolf wood that can kill a bear like a kid frying ants with a magnifying glass. ‘If I’m stuck here then this is what I’ll be living till I die in 83 years…’
‘Maybe it’s not so bad maybe horses talk too, and unicorns that shit rainbows...’ Stepping back to reality one of the wolves dropped a huge piece of bear meat right in front of me like a hot pocket, and I just looked at it, ripped right off from the bear torn muscle and oozing blood damn near gagging at it, gargle, but on second thought I grabbed it and never did I think this would taste so good, I ate that 10 pound raw bear like it was my destiny to rip it apart in my mouth and swallow with content and delight although the first taste was awful like eating old open cream corn mixed with uncooked stake, I almost threw up but I didn’t both out of fear and hunger one of which I knew about.
But I did finish the stake and no longer hungry both out of disgust and shame for eating a bear, but hey who can say that they were in a pack of wooden wolfs, took down a bear, ate the bear and not feel a little badass well me for the first 10 minute aftermath then I started to feel better for tearing apart the flesh of a bear and enjoying it.
1 hour later. Locator beeped
Forest, 2017, Edge, 6:04 pm.
My heart skipped a beat; I could see it, the edge of the forest right there
‘I have a chance to leave I can’t pass this up.’ The thought made my blood rush and adrenaline pump I could feel it, freedom just mere meters from being mine and I had to take it even so the wolfs had left me, so I ran feeling the trees tare remaining clothing and bushes and branches tare into my feet I leap. Feeling the trees just leaving behind me the pull and fear of the forest follow like a dream come true but like a nightmare something snags me dragging me back in like a parent taking their child to school just school being a forest filled with magic that would make even the bravest shit their pants.
Anxiety Rushed in, ‘is it the wolves? The zebra? The bear coming back to life to eat my ass?’ I couldn’t tell I just felt teeth dragging me into the back into the forest, neverfree. I can’t take the forest I fight back only to see a dragon dragging me back into the forest blood drained making me pale as can be feeling the teeth of the big winged lizard content in its eyes like it was his life was for; wings spread blocking out the sun. He was red and black like blood stains on charcoal, but it looked aged it took off taking me with it, I froze like ice stone cold the forest shrank as I was dragged through the sky. Its wings rang wind air thinning barley breathing, whoosh… whoosh… whoosh… That sound rang over and over, dizziness taking me breathing slowed blackness surround my eyes…
Locator Beeps
Chanter lot Castle, 2017, Back Gate, 9:34 pm.
‘…How can I explain what is happening, life was simple, dark and quiet never surprising, nothing different. Why I of all people did this happen too, life took everything else away now it took away home, everything gone. I have nothing left for me nothing waiting for me when I get home, nothing that I know and love is here and I can’t explain it, life just chose me and took it all away to give me this…’ I wake, tired and lightheaded the dragon's gone and I left at a small gate waiting for my fate to take its course.
“Another one...”…
TO BE CONTINUED…
