To Feel Is To Understand: A My Little Pony Story

I wake up inside the Pure Heart Ritual room.

"What happened?" Derpy asks.

"I uh, I finished the Test of Forgiveness." I say.

"That's one out of two. Only one more. Are you ready for your next test?" Blaze asks.

"Yes. Yes I am." I say.

"Okay, 1, 2, 3!" Blaze says.

My vision goes black.

I wake up inside a burning room.

My worst fear.

"Oh, shit! Where the hell am I?!" I yell.

I hear a female voice yell "Help! Help me! I'm, i'm stuck!"

I get up from the ground.

"Where are you?!" I yell.

"In here!" The girl says.

I follow the sound of her voice.

I walk inside another burning room with two burning pillars laying on top of a girl.

"Help me!" The girl yells

I try to pull her out.

She won't budge.

"Hold on. I got you!" I say.

I begin to lift the two pillars.

I struggle for a couple minutes.

They get one foot off of the girl.

"Go! I can't hold them any longer!" I say.

The girl crawls out from under the pillars.

My arm catches on fire.

"Ow! Fuck!" I yell in pain.

I let go of the pillars.

I put out the fire on my arm.

"Shit! Follow me! Stay low!" I say.

I start to walk towards a fire escape.

I reach for the doorknob, debris falls from the ceiling, then blocks the door.

“Let’s go! Follow me!" I yell.

I walk towards another burning room, beside the fire escape.

I look behind me, to make sure the girl is following me, the girl looks at me.

"Let's go!" I say.

We walk inside the burning room.

I shut the door to block more flames from entering the room.

I look around the room, to find a window.

I see one across the door.

I break it open.

I look outside.

"Come here." I say.

The girl walks to me.

"What is your name?" I ask.

"It's Ditzy." The girl says.

"Okay, Ditzy. I am going to land us inside a pool. We are at least 12 stories high. I will break your fall. You are going to have to face your back to me." I say.

Ditzy asks "What do you mean?"

"I am going to break your fall, just in case we don't land in the water. I will most likely not survive the fall. Come here. You have to be brave for me." I say.

"Okay." Ditzy says.

I wrap my arms around Ditzy.

I lean back out of the window.

We begin to fall.

My vision goes black.

I hear the mysterious voice again.

It says "Very good work, Arthur!

Courage can be a powerful tool, if used properly.

You have one more test to go.

I have faith in you."
