My New Life In Equestria: Year 1.

8:15 A.M.

"Hate not having a light source." On the bright side there was indeed a torch on the, castle? wall but without a means of lighting it all it did now was serve as a walking stick. By some stroke of luck, I managed to feel a very faint tremor in the ground around me. "What was that?" I thought to myself as I stood still. "There it is again." I felt it once more and didn't know how to feel about it.

"It could be other people?" My positive side said. Then negativity took a seat. "Yeah, the very people who put me in here, to begin with." I shook away the quarreling thoughts and made up my mind.

"When I find out who locked me in a dungeon my foot is going up their ass."

Castle Mainhall.
Same Time.

"It's moving," Cadance said as she tracked the pony from earlier. The other's all stopped as Cadance tried to zero in on the strange life source. "I don't think this is a pony." She mumbled to herself. She got a clear indication of where it was and held her breath. "This doesn't feel right." Suddenly a scream ripped through the castle sending all of the ponies hair on end.

"What was that?' Fluttershy asked huddling next to Rainbow and Applejack who were both on high alert for anything moving. Cadance was flustered now.

"This doesn't make any sense." She scanned her surrounding's again to and recoiled as she felt another life form, this one was definitely a pony but it was

"There are two of them." She said as her magic faded. The group all looked apprehensive. "One is in the tower." She pointed forwards. "The other is in the dungeons." She then pointed to a set of double door's that had once been chained and guarded but now they were little more than rusted old remnants from a bygone era.

"Wait? What?" She did a double take. "What magic is this?" She said as the other's thought of what to do.

"Do we split up?" Pinkie asked looking from pony to pony. They all thought about it. Then Twilight spoke up.

"We have to be careful." She said looking around. "If Cadance is tracking another pony and there in the dungeons no less then they can't be safe. Of course, that's assuming there even their of there own free will." She weighed the pros and the cons.

"We can split up but." She stated stressing her words. "Only If Luna and I lead one group to the tower while Cadance and Celestia lead the other to the dungeons." She looked around.

"Tis a solid plan young Twilight," Luna exclaimed as she went and stood next to Twilight. "Now what of the other's?" She asked giving the rest of the group a conundrum. Until Pinkie began to wave around her hoof in the air like a school filly.

"Ohh pick me! Pick me!" she shouted hopping up and down as she went. Rainbow just rolled her eye's.

"I'm going over here." She said as she let go fo Fluttershy with a soft smile and headed over to Cadance and Celestia, who were the furthest away from Pinkie at the moment. Fluttershy thought about it.

"Rainbow do you know any healing spell's?" Dash nodded.

"Sure do. With all the time's I've crashed It saves a trip to the doctor." She stated as she rubbed the back of her head sheepishly. Fluttershy nodded.

"Good. Then I'll go with Luna and Twilight." She said as she trotted over to the two headed for the tower. Soon they were all divided with Pinky following after Twilight and Luna, while Applejack and Rarity went with Cadence and Celestia.

"Ok, so we all know the drill?" Twilight asked to which they all nodded. "Meet back here when we find our target's." She said making Pinkie giggle.

"You sound like your brother Twi." She snickered as a hoof shot into her mouth to stop her laughter. Twilight just smirked.

"Well, when you spend half your life with a member of the royal guard for a brother some thing's rub off on you."She stated as the two group's got themselves squared away.

"Everypony ready?" Twilight asked. Both groups gave her a solid nod.

"Ok then let's go find the cause of all this." She pointed to the castle which even now began to distort just a little bit form the high concentration of magic coming from its depths.

8:30 A.M.

"Ok need to take a rest." I was starting to tire out. "Probably going around in circles." It wouldn't surprise me. No light to speak of and lost in some underground dungeon. "Man good old D&D made this seem like so much fun." I hate talking to myself but when I'm all alone it tends to help pass the time and stave off boredom. Mostly the latter.

"Hello?" Oh, sweet Jesus!

"I'm over here!" I was saved! I got to my feet and looked around. Just up ahead there was a soft blue light making its way down the corridor towards me.

"Oh thank god." I sighed in relief as I walked to the light. Then I stopped about halfway to it. "Hello?" I asked again.

"Hello? Are you ok?" I couldn't believe my ear's. "No way. There's no way for them to be here!" My mind raced as they got closer to me. In my blind scramble for answers my body froze. Finally, the light crossed the last of the distance between us and I starred at someone who should not exist.

"Hello?" She asked giving me a look of utter confusion. I said the first thing that came to mind. "I take it you weren't expecting me?" I felt so out of it right now.

"Um if you don't mind me asking just what are you?" Cadance asked me. I was about to answer when a thought entered my brain "This has to be a dream." My brain latched onto the idea no matter how desperate it seemed and ran with it.

"Of course!" My sudden shout startled all the ponies causing one of them to fly between me and the princess. "NO WAY!" I was staring at the one pony I admired the most. She did not look happy.

"Wow there buddy what's got you so excited?" Rainbow asked a look of concern on her face.

"This is all a dream." My statement had the opposite effect of what I was hoping. They all stopped and gave me a look of, had I actually stopped to think about it there look was perfectly valid, confusion.

"Um say what now?" I then noticed that Dash and Cadance were not alone. Two more ponies came into view.

"Applejack? Rarity?" I asked feeling very overwhelmed. "What is going on here?" I thought about it. "This is isn't like any dream I've had before."

"That's because this ain't no dream partner." Applejack stated. Even if she was the element of honesty I wasn't ready to believe her.

"Prove it." My challenge hung in the air for a second. Then Rarity stepped up.

"Forgive me darling but we simply don't have time for this." She said. "What?" I asked as Rarity got in front of me and gave me a soft smile. Then she stood on her hind legs and rared back a forehoof and let it swing for my face. Now me still thinking this was a dream was all well and good for all of five seconds as the pain registered and I was sent to the ground in a blur of pain and shock.

"Rarity!" Came a shout from the group. I could really care less at the time. My face felt as if it was hit by a semi-truck and the fact that it hurt shocked me to the core.

"This can't be real!?" I shouted causing the group to stop. Cadance took charge and I felt a soft warm embrace lift me to my feet.

"I believe these are yours," she said levitating my glasses over to me. They must have fallen off when Rarity, "Hit me." I frowned as I took my glasses and put them back on my face mindful of my new bruise. Rarity came over looking sad.

"I truly am sorry dear but we must be on our way." She said looking all around as if the place was alive, which for all I knew it was. This was Equestria after all if the proof in front of me is anything to go by. As everything came into focus for me my brain decided now was a good time to call it quit's.

"I don't feel so good." Was the only warning the ponies got from me as I slid from this world into the blissful void of unconsciousness.
