To explain on how I got here would be something I can’t really say. Most would Described that there was a white light or a that portal sucked them in or anything equally bizarre. Then again, I don’t think that ending up in Equestria would be anything else BUT ludicrous.

Well I should start by talking about myself. My name is Francisco Perez and I was a Student at UCLA in California at the time before I ended up here. I know you’re wondering, how did I end up there. Well it started at a camping trip; me, my childhood friend Isaac, and another one of his friend, Redmond, decided to spend our spring break at Jedidiah Smith redwood state park. It’s nice to get rid of the stress of school. Anyway, it was the third day around noon.


I had just came back from using the restroom to see my friend Isaac waiting in the back of my truck. Hearing the sounds of the leaves crushing beneath my footsteps, he raised his head from his phone and looked towards me.

“Finally, come on Red got tired of waiting and went ahead.” Redmond, or Red as Isaac calls him became friends with Isaac during high school and kept in touch with him when me and Redmond graduated. I never liked Redmond. He was kind of an asshole, don’t get me wrong, he’s a ok guy at times, but he can also be a dick at well. So the sound of him getting impatient was not surprising.

“Alright lets go-wait, do we have a flashlight? It’ll be pretty dark out soon.” I started to search check my backpack for my flashlight, I carried a lot of things with me when we go camping or any other trip. It was one hobby of mine to go camping before I started to go to college. Isaac got off my truck and landed in front of me. Reaching out with his hand to help me up.

“Of course I have my flashlight but Red went ahead even though I told him that he doesn’t have one.” I can hear Isaac sighed as I found my flashlight. Clipping the flashlight to the side of my jeans I looked at him, gesturing to start walking. “Whatever man, we can give one to Redmond when we catch up to him, now come one where wasting time.”

Both of us started to hike along the trail in silence. Isaac wasn't much of a conversationalist, then again, so am I. Which is really my why I like hiking really. Its peaceful, no car noises or have to worrying about bills and other shit like that. Just the relaxing noises of the forest and the gentle stream of the river. Sure the exercise was good and all but it’s the scenery that I love the most about it. Seeing the trees tower above us like wooden skyscrapers. There’s was something calming about it, reminding us that our world is beautiful and all that shit. I’m not a hippie or anything like that, but I do know the importance of making sure the only world you live in, stays alive. At least, until we can travel to space.

Among the path there was a split in the hiking trail. One goes deeper to the forest and the other to the river. We agreed earlier today to take the pathway that leads deeper to the forest at night. So were hoping that Redmond took the right pathway. As we continue walking Isaac started talking.

“Hey Francisco.” Isaac said, breaking the silence. I didn’t Look at him as we continuing to walk along the path ahead. “Thanks for planning this thing for me, it really means a lot to me.”

“Don't mention it, I saw how you were constantly tired from everything. Besides, I wanted to get away from school, I needed this just as much as you.” I spotted the light of another persons flashlight down the path ahead of us as we approached. Maybe they’ve seen Redmond.

Isaac gave out short Forceful laugh. “Yeah, I guess we both needed this, with juggling work, school, and family, It's getting pretty overwhelming.” Isaac was really the reason on why I did this whole thing to begin with. Every time I seen him, he is either stressed out by school or work.

“This is your last year, after this then your done. You don’t have to worry about shit, like school, from then on. I still have three more years to go through though.” Then you have to worry about paying bills and the wonders of adulthood.

We got close enough to the light recognize one of the park rangers that work here. Isaac approaches him to asked about Redmond, as there talking I looked to the sky to see the moon between the branches and leaves of the trees. Deeper in the woods the trees group closer together so rangers recommend flashlights when hiking out at night. It gets pretty fucking dark, You could barely see the road ahead of you without any light source.
We were about thirty minutes away from our campsite right now and Redmond left several minutes before us. Where the hell is the bastard anyway? I took a view of my surroundings a check for any signs of him. Did he took the wrong trail? Maybe he didn’t took the trail at all and went to smoke. They warn us not to but I’m sure that’s not going to stop him. Whatever, if we find him then we find him.

My train of thoughts ended when I see Isaac started to move again. “So did he see him?”

“No he hasn’t.” Isaac breath out a frustrated sigh, “Dammit, where the hell is he? It’s already night and we haven’t even seen him.” His face scrunched up in annoyance.

“He does know where we’re going right?”

“Of course he does.” Isaac face turn blank for a moment. “Then least I think he does. Lets just keep walking, we’ll bump into him eventually.” I didn't need to look deep to tell the he was stressing out about this. Regardless of how I felt about Redmond, Isaac and him were good friends. Isaac was nearly 3 years younger than us, and we were friends for several years so I look at him like a younger brother that I never had. Much like Me and Isaac, those two had a kind of dynamic sort of thing.

“Well didn’t the park ranger say anything else?” I asked Isaac.

“Not much, but he did mention that It was gonna be windy shortly.”

"How windy?"

"Nothing crazy, just a bit more breezy than normal he said." That's good, a little wind never hurt anyone. “Let’s keep hiking, I’m sure he is just at the camp smoking.” Isaac said.

It was a short while since we spoke to the park ranger. As we walked, I tried to get him too relax by talking about random things to get him to keep busy. Things like; shows we watch, latest news, and Video games. Isaac relaxed a bit since then but still showed some anxiety. He tends to stress if he lets his mind think to much but he’s keeping his cool at the moment. That was, until his face turned to one of confusion. "Isaac you got to learn how to relax. I'm positive that he is at camp, there's no way that he can get here without a flashlight." Isaac didn't' responded at first. He was looking intently at something down at the road.

"What's that right there?" My attention turned to the location that he was pointing at. Shining my flashlight in that direction I was able to spot something shining within the distance.

It was Redmond’s jacket.

Isaac rushed towards it, having realized what it was, concern that I’ve spent to get rid of returned to his face. Watching him approached the jacket. I notice that it was perfectly fine, no scratches, and no tears. But why was it hanging there anyw-

AHHH!” something, or someone, sprang in front of me from the bushes and low and behold. It was mother fucking Redmond. Not only did he nearly gave me a heart attack. But also made me fell backwards on my ass. I simply responded as any sane person would do.

“FUCK YOU REDMOND! YOU COCKSLEEVE CUCKBOI! WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK WHERE YOU THINIKING?!” Having to pick myself off the from the ground. Redmond chuckled as he tossed my flashlight that I dropped on the ground to me.

“Holy shit man your face got so red.” I gave a glare at the bastard. Redmond, however, saw enjoyment out of my suffering and gave out a low cackle at me. He fucking cackled, only villains cackle you know. "Did you hear him Isaac? He screamed like a girl." Thankfully Isaac didn't share his love.

“Seriously Red what the hell? I thought something happened to you.” Isaac threw Redmond’s jacket at his face. I kept wondering on how he got here? The forest around us was dark, the only things that are lighting up the area was our flashlights and-wait... Redmond got a flashlight with him. Guess that explains on how he got here in the dark. Still, I wanted to deck him on the face, but doing that would end up with us fighting again.

Me and Redmond where always trying to out do each other during high school. While I was on the swim team at high school, Redmond was top wrestler in the district. It’s been years since then. However He Joined The Marines after high school so he did not lose any muscle. And while going to the community pool to swim kept me fit. I wasn’t gonna win against a trained marine. That still didn't stop us from trying to out do one another. Which is strange cause seeing Redmond being scolded by Isaac like a nagging couple was something that not many could do to him.

Maybe they were secretly gay? Nah, they both got someone back home. Still the sight of them did made me chuckle at the thought, I really need to stop reading those yaoi manga's. That or I need to get out more... like socially get out more... Why DID I start reading those things?

I see Redmond threw up his hand in the air.

“HOLY fucking hell, you made it like I try to murder him.” Redmond Yelled. As they continued to argue I could hear a thunder sound in the distance. Didn’t the ranger said it was gonna be windy? Cause that didn’t sound like it was gonna be ‘Just windy.’ “FINE!! I’M SORRY FRANCISCO. THERE ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?” He proclaimed to the world, though I barely registered what he said. I did see Isaac smile smugly at him.

“Yes” Isaac proudly said. He might be the youngest of us, but he was the smartest one. Even if he tense to overthink things. So you'll probably not gonna win in a argument against him. The both of us learned that a while ago.

“Whatever, hey is me or is the weather picking up?” Redmond asked.

“Yeah, on our way here we bumped into a ranger and he did say it was gonna be windy, but know that I notice its was been looking worst.” We heard another thunder, expect that it was closer this time. Redmond tried to look to the sky as did all of us. The confusion was evident on all our faces.

“Well shit, Windy my ass, looks like its about to be a storm soon. Let’s get back to camp before it hits us.” No one was talking as we all notice the lack of noise around us.

The forest seemed to die while we were talking to each other. There was not even a single noise. The hell? Wasn’t there at least birds chirping around earlier? The only noise we heard were the wind and the rustling of the leaves from it. When did the forest gets so creepy? Wasn’t this like the start of a horror movie, the shitty b grade kind. Leaves blew gentle around us as if to proving our suspicions.

"Fuck me, it does look like its gonna be a storm." I looked back to the path we came from and started to move. “Yeah, we should head back as fast as we can. Though it looks like its gonna be here before then.”

“Ugh... great, just great... all I wanted was to hike at night.” Man, this was not as going as planned for Isaac.

“Yeah Francisco’s right.” Redmond looked at the way Isaac was bummed out about tonight. “Hey” he said softly, “Relax we’re gonna be here for another three days so there’s no need to worry. We can try again tomorrow if the weather clears up” Redmond reassured Isaac. “Alright, were wasting time.” Redmond announced. They follow me behind as we headed back to our camp.

Along the way, Redmond caught up behind me and started to talk to me. “So, you guys where looking for me?” Redmond brought up. Might as well talk as we walk back to camp.

“Not really, more like we tried to keep a look out as we got here.” I plainly replied. It wasn’t like we went up and down this park trying to find him. “Though Isaac was the one worried about you.”

“It’s Isaac, he worries about everything.” Redmond looked back at Isaac to see if he is still behind us.

"Got to love him for that. Wouldn't stop worrying about others until he knows there ok."

“Yeah... Look, I know we haven’t got along during high school and even after... but real shit. I appreciated on what your doing for him. I know how much you hate me but thanks letting me tag along.” Shit, way to make me feel bad now.

“I don’t hate you, annoyed at most sure, but I wouldn’t want nothing bad to happen to you if that’s what your thinking.” I gave out a soft sigh, “look, I don't know why this sudden 'hear to heart,' but your good friends with Isaac so I wont give you trouble. At least until you start acting like a dick again."

“Pfft, you make it sound like I am a asshole.” A short chuckle escape my lips when he said that.

"You are a asshole."

"OH COME ON, who can be mad at me? I'm lovable and my eyes are majestical. Ask Isaac."

"Why would Isaac be talking about your eyes?"

“I’m right hear you know.” Isaac said as a matter of fact. “You guys make it sound like I’m a women, holy crap man.” Isaac said. “Do I act gay or what? Tell me Red? Do I like act gay?" He not gay, but being raised by 5 sisters, a mother, and her 2 sisters would make you act more flamboyant than any, or at least act less ‘macho’ than some. Redmond answered for us.

“I don’t know, like you do fucking things that are a bit questioning, hell most of us thought you WERE gay until you started to day a women and even then we thought you did it to shut us up.” Even looking forward I could still see Isaac face flush with embarrassment.

“OH SCREW YOU GUYS! I am not gay okay? What about Francisco? Remember that he dated a guy once?” You fucking bastard...

"OH RIGHT! I almost forgot about that." Redmond started to laugh. Now it was my turn to be embarrassed.

"Fuck you, I don't even know that he was a guy." I'm trying to defend my honor here. Isaac please help me buddy.

"You dated a trap and that's gay." They will not find your body Redmond.

"TRAPS ARE NOT GAY IF YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW IT WAS A DUDE!" Its not gay...

"And what about that yaoi manga?" Please... Isaac I didn't know you can be so cruel. Throwing your best bud under the bus like this.

"It was the one manga." I quickly shot out, shaking my head, "why are we even talking about this anyway?"

"Because you dated a trap." Redmond kindly reminded us, "and that's gay."

"Traps are only gay if you willingly and knowingly date a trap. THEN that makes it gay." I let out a huff as they snickered around me. I guess I deserve this...

Another thunder was heard far off behind us.

"Relax, Francisco. Its okay to be curious about these things." That's it, I'm not giving you guys any of my bacon tomorrow... at least they were having laughing and having fun... still not gonna give them my bacon. I will not have my manly pride made fun of like that.

A rain drop fell next to us as did another, soon after it started to rain. "Common guys, I don't know if we should keep walking if we want to make it." Isaac went up ahead of us, eager to get back to came. He still had that goofy grin on his face.

"Common Frankie, lets get the fuck out of here before it gets here." Redmond jogged after Isaac, leaving me behind in the dark. Looking up to the night sky. I can only see the dark clouds that cover the skies now. I really hope that we make it. Without wasting anymore time, I ran after them.


The stormed hit us within minutes and it was worst than any of us imagine. The wind was howling relentlessly around us. Me and the guys were running to get there before the storm got here, but it was here before we knew it. The once dry ground was now slippery with mud, making it harder to move. With our path now muddy. We had to slow our pace to avoid slipping. Isaac wasn't fit as us so he was having trouble keeping up. the weather didn't help, It was moving him around a bit, making it harder for him to move straight. The fact that it was pitch black didn't help my panic. If we lost our flashlights or if they died by low battery. We'll be stuck in the dark.

How the hell did this happen? I thought they give out warnings to hikers or close down the hiking trail before these things happen. Maybe they didn’t expect this?

Rain fell around us as we approached a split amongst the trail. The air turned misty with the rain as time went on. Holy fuck, it’s getting harder to see ahead of us now. Thank goodness we have flashlights. If we didn’t have them, I doubt that we would been able to see anything I’m front of us.

We arrived at the split in the trail. A flash of thunder light up the area around us for a brief moment before darkness took over. To our horrors, the sign fell over, the sign was covered in mud and the words were in readable.

“SHIT, WE HAVE TO FIND A PLACE TO HOLD OUT UNTIL IT CLEARS OUT!!!” Great, now I barely can hear them over the storm now. I think Redmond was the one that shouted that. I did catch on what he said though.

Its doesn't look like its gonna get better, we have to find something to take cover in to protect us if shit starts falling. Looking around I try to spot anything we can use as Cover, Wind raged like a wild bull. branches and leaves wiz by me rapidly, giving me scratches on my unprotected arms.
FUCKING HELL, is it a fucking hurricane or what? I could feel the wind constantly trying to push and pull me around. We were drenched in mud and water, freezing our asses off. I could see the trees above us moving from the wind. That’s not a good signs, if the redwood moving then things are gonna get more horrible for us if we don’t find cover.

We Need Shelter Now.

I searched more franticly for any sign of protection against the weather. A cave or a fallen tree would do fine, right? We had luck on our side, Like a pillar of hope, I spotted a hollowed out redwood tree, and it has enough cover for the rain too. I spun towards my friends I quickly grabbed them and pointed towards the hallowed tree. Without any delay I yelled. “GRAB ONTO MY BACKPACK AND DON’T LET GO! THE WIND WILL PUSH US AWAY!” I was glad that they caught on to my plan quickly and forming a conga like line. Me in the front, Isaac in the middle and Redmond in the back. Both of them holding on to the backpack in the front of them. We fought through the storm to make it to the only shelter the can help us. Branches and leaves, even small rocks, where flying out left and right. Debris was flying by us, branches was hitting my arm, hurting like someone was whipping you. Scratches from the branch covered my arm and the mud made it harder to move. We have to make it. Isaac was swinging side to side between us, with only Redmond and my back to hold him in line.

We were almost there.

A sudden Pain Shot through my head as I found myself on the ground. My vision blurred as I try get up, but was unable to. Both Isaac and Redmond Topple over at my sudden collapse. Struggling to get up, I fell over once again. My flash light illuminated Isaacs face as I can see the horror he showed. I tried to get up again but was hold down by Redmond. Rain beat down my face as I try to see what happened through the dark and rain. Shit what is he trying to do?

“SHIT! HELP ME DRAG HIM IN THE TREE! I KNOW HE HAS A MEDKIT IN HIS BAG!” I blinked slowly and can feel myself being dragged through the forest floor beneath me with Redmond on my left and Isaac on my right. I looked at them, I’ve never seen Isaac looking so scared. Shit, did I hit my head?

“what happened? How bad is it?” I couldn’t raise my voice, and it didn’t look like they heard me. Fuck, the pain in my head was numbing. I see branches and planks of wood fly behind us. Is this small redwood tree even hold out? The wind was Raging all around us. My vision was fading to black. I've seen enough movies and video games to know that, that was not a good sign. Shit, am I dying? I can't die like this, but its getting hard to keep my eyes open. No... not like this, I have to stay awake.

“WERE ALMOST THERE, FRANCISCO! HOLD ON A LITTLE MORE!” who said that? It’s getting harder for me to hear.

I have to stay away.

“REDMOND HE LOSING A LOT OF BLOOD!” I didn't know if that was tears or the rain on Isaac face.

I have to stay awake…

“SHIT, FRANCISCO! QUICK GRAB ME SOMETHING TO STOP THE B..DING! LOOK AT ME… D.N’T CL.SE Y.UR .YE." I was strange seeing Redmond show concern over me...

I need to stay awake...

With those final thoughts, the world around me fade to black.


I see nothing but blackness everywhere I looked. I try to move but felt nothing… what? I try moving my arms… then my legs... Yeah, I feel nothing. Why can’t I feel my body? Wait, am I dead? Is this what being dead is like? If so then religion has A LOT of explaining to do. I don’t think floating around in a void is in any religion. Unless this is purgatory. Then things would make a whole lot of sense...
Oh crap, am I gonna be like this forever? I’m going to go insane like this. Just me and me alone? I know I’m not that social but even I like to talk to people once in a while. ARRG why can’t I feel anything? I tried again to move, but I’m not sure if anything is even happening. Okay calm down, I shouldn't panic, I'm probably unconscious. If I can... only... wake up...
"dammit dammit dammit dammit DAMMIT." I could feel myself starting to panic, wait feel? How is that even possible I don’t have a body? I guess mentally feel, is there a word for it? My mind raced around my head. Frustration was building up quickly within me. What about the guys, Are they okay, and what about the storm With a loud frustrated roar, I yelled out.

AAAAARG FUCKING HELL!” Then, as if that was the magic word, the void around me exploded as my vision sprang up from the bed as a scream pierced my ears.

“HAAAAAAA!” Shock overcame me as I suddenly heard a young boys voice. The vision before me swerved around the dark room in frantic way. It was a bit disorienting. “Hello, who's there?” I was silent, not knowing on what to say on the situation. A heavy heart beat sound fill my hearing. I try to look around, however, I was unable move anything as I had no control over my vision. It was hard to make out anything in the dark. Wasn’t as dark as the void or the forest but it was dark nonetheless.

Can I do something? Can I say something? SHOULD I SAY SOMETHING?

I was thinking on my next action carefully or what is going on when I noticed the light flicker at the bottom of the door. The lighting from it gave me enough to make out the room a little bit.

It was a boys room from what I can see. Games and some action figures where on a blue dresser. what grabbed my attention was the posters of horses on the walls. I guess he likes horses, but they didn’t look right. Their heads looked more smaller than anything, but the eyes are huge, like cartoonishly huge. I looked around the room then turned too the closet. Why couldn’t I control where I can look? Its like I was watching a screen or something.

Amongst my confusion and panic, I was blinded by light as the door opened. I see arms cover my eyes, taking a moment for them to adjust. I heard a motherly voice break through the silent room.

“Are you okay sweetie? Did you have another nightmare?” I’m guessing that’s the boys mother, but why can’t she see me? Am I right there? Arms went down as I can make out the boys mother… It was a horse... HOLY SHIT IT WAS A HORSE!

“What the fuck?” My vision flinched at the sound of me. Can they hear me? If so then why is only the boy reacting to it. Couldn’t the mother hear it to. As I tried to stop freaking out, I felt something else within me. I was panicking as well, but its like something else was within me, Its weird. My view turned to the boys mother. I can now see the worry and concern on her face. God, for horses they have very expressive faces. it was like a humans... but also a horse. Somewhere in between.

“Are you okay? Why did you jumped like that?” A wave of embarrassment washed over me. We looked away from the mother and the boy stammered.

“N-NO, i’m ok I just, ohm, had a nightmare.” This is looking more like a fever dream for me pal. The mothers huge round eyes soften but still held worry.

“Oh, What was the nightmare about?” the mother responded, walking up to her son. Getting a good look at the mare, I see why the posters look as they do. She had a Darkish blue coat with a hot pink hair that was styled into a ponytail. Come to think of it they are pretty small to be horses huh? Either that or they like in a big house, but it doesn’t look that way. Would ponies be the right word?

This is getting fucking weird. This has to be a dream, yeah… that makes sense This is all a VERY detailed dream. I’m sure when I wake up, I’ll be covered in mud, damped with water and probably with a concussion. BUT HEY, at least Isaac and Redmond are okay, right? Right, I managed to calm down to the best I could with heavy breathing. I’m guessing the boy, can’t hear me when I breath. Should I say colt, since they do look like ponies. Second thought how can I breath? I didn't even have a body.
We both looked down in embarrassment as I can make out his legs. There were like ponies except stumpier, and his color was brown with a white ending to it. At least he doesn’t the colors of a little girls dream of candy color pony. Shame and guilt took ran down me. This was getting pretty fucking jarring.

“I don’t want to talk about it....” He whispered softly.

“Was it bad?” the mother asked. I could see the tiredness on her eyes. “You know you can tell me anything rig-”

“It’s nothing, really.” Wow kid way to not make it look like nothing is going on. He was quickly answering her questions, like it he committed a horrible crime. That embarrassing feeling never left me. A awkward pause between the two happened. I was getting strange sense of Deja vu from this.

“But did you hear something?” The young colt questioned his mother. She raised her head and I could see her ears flicker twist and turn trying to hear something for his son. I’m guessing there trying to for me. After a bit she lowered her head, shaking it at her son.

“I don’t hear anything. Are you sure it wasn’t in your head? What did you hear anyway?” wait… in your head? Am I stuck in this kids head?

“Don’t really know, I heard yelling then somepony said the F word.” Oh great not only do the kid can hear me, he can also telling his mother that I was swearing, and somepony? I was right on the pony bit huh, but really. Somepony? With a soft chuckle she hugged her son.

“Oh it must be Old oak again, you know that he hates losing, must be betting all of his money again. I swear that old geezer never learns” So horses bet? Do they just have a couple of those fuckers to run around the track or do they play cards? Why am I even thinking that? I should find a way to get help.

“Yeah, your probably right. Sorry for waking you up mom.” The kid faked a yawn as his he pretend to be sleepy. While I could tell that his mother was not buying it, she went anyways.

“Its okay ace, go back to sleep. You have school tomorrow.” The mother walked to the door and began to close it “I’ll leave it open a little for you okay Sweetie?” By this time my vision became dark again as I heard another fake yawn.

“Ok… mom.” I hear hoof steps walk away and the flickering of the light switch. After a minute or so his eyes opened again and hoped off the bed. I watched as he approached the window and peeked outside of it. It was like looking at a scene of at one of those fantasy movies. Like a medieval villages, the only difference was that it had some light post here and there. Houses look more German design than any, the roofing range from thatches to wood and tiles. Before I could see anything else, he moved his head went back in and slowly moved towards the bed. I heard him yawn as he blinked. “Right… Must have been Old Oak again.” Crawling into his bed, He tucked himself in and fell asleep.

I waited a couple minutes to get my bearings. Is this a dream? It must be. Talking horses, in a different world, and being stuck in the mind of a child is not what I call normal. I don’t think dreams can make such details such as the room, or the houses outside. The way they look was uncanny, then again I only seen the mother, I don’t even know what the kid even looks like besides his arms, but it would probably be the same.

My mind buzzed with question with even more questions that I desperately needed answers for. Where am I? How did I get here? Where is Isaac and Redmond? THAT’S something I want to know, I remember trying to get to the redwood tree, then something hit me, then… I passed out… Well that’s not gonna give me answers. I wonder if they gotten injured during the storm.

I felt myself shudder at the thought.

I took another deep breath, too many questions and not even a single answer to any of them. If this was a dream, then why didn’t I wake up already. You would think that a talking horse would be enough to shock you awake. Unless I'm in a coma and I can’t wake up… Dammit, I’m trying to find logic in a situation that DOESN’T EVEN MAKE SENSE.

Nothing could prepare me for this. I’m still aware of my surroundings and I still feel as much I can. A thought occurred to me that I might be possessing him. That would make sense. I probably did die, and this is god’s way of punishing me for not donating all those times I crossed the border from Mexico.
FUCKING HELL, I DON’T HAVE ENOUGH SPARE CHANGE LORD! That... Probably doesn’t help my case if I swear at god... Fuck.

So this isn’t a dream, I am stuck in a young colts head. I remember that his mother called him Ace. Is that a nickname or that’s his actual name. Whatever I’m stuck in a kids body and I can’t control it. So there’s that. I’m Most likely stuck in a different world, can’t control my body. I don’t know what happened to Isaac or Redmond, also I can’t control my body. What else I’m missing. Oh yeah, I can’t control my body!

There something you should know, I sort of have Agoraphobia, which means the fear of loss of control. Now I don’t have it as badly as others, but I’m pretty sure I’m if Ace can hear me breath then He would be constantly be hearing heaving wheezing. It’s a miracle that I’m not screaming my lungs out. Taking yet a deep breath, I ponder in thought once again.

Okay... What too, what to do... I can’t move my body. I CAN communicate, but to what extent, I don’t know. I’m not even sure if the mother can hear me if I try. Maybe... It dawned on me as I realize just how fucked I really am. No matter what plan I make. I can’t do it without Ace’s help. How do I approached this without him freaking out, and how do I make him get help? Tell him to go to an adult and say that I’m in here.
Oh sure, let the colt go up to his mom and say, ‘Hey mom, I hear a voices inside my head.’ That’ll do just fine, well get help and everything will be great. No, for now I should just observe until I understand on what I’m dealing with.

Yeah, I can do that. I’m starting to have a plan now.

First, Get more info on where am I.

Second, wait for Ace to be alone to try to talk to him. I’m gonna have to find a way to convince him to help me, and that he is not going insane, and that i’m not a demon, easy.

Thirdly, find out on what happened to Isaac and Redmond. Then again I should considered if they are even in this, whatever this is, or if there in the same predicament as I am. Which can make it even harder for finding them… Guess that's optional.

Lastly, find a way back home. If I or we got here then there has to be a way back, right?

I stared at the dark void around me and waited. Waiting for the tiredness to take over. Wanting to see that this is just a very bad dream, But nothing happened. I was not even able to go to sleep. If I have to stare at this for hours then i’m gonna go insane. Why couldn’t this come with music. I couldn’t scream in frustration or in horror for fear of waking up Ace. Both of them would be paranoid about me if I do that again. I have no voice and I must scream, so I can only do the next best thing. The little colt slept peacefully while I can only scream internally.


Author's Note

If you can't tell, this is sort of my first story that I wanted to make. However I'm never sure on how well I can write it. I want to give it justice and I hope it could be as least decent levels.

There's not much ponies in this prologue, but I feel like its more important to explain on what happened before Francisco got there. There will be more ponies next chapter, I promise.

So yeah, I'm gonna try to make this story happened, but if there's any way I can improve or have any ideas for the cover of the story then let me know. I don't have much on what to post for the cover.
