I hummed a little tune as I walked towards the familiar town. 'Okay,' I thought 'what should my name be? Willow wisp?, no, soft soil?, no that's stupid, something to do with teleporting, blink? uh, okay, adjectives...fast, short, ...slimy?,no...just no, light, heavy, y'know what? i'll just be named 'Blink' from now on. Name decided I looked up from the ground to see that I was just on the outer limits of town, I also took note of the lack of castles, meaning Tirek hasn't shown up yet, as I first trotted down the street I noticed something strange: there were no ponies, I really should have noticed this earlier from the lack of noise but I assume that was because either I was lost in thought or there was no noise in the first place so I couldn't notice it change.

'Huh,' I thought, 'maybe Zecora's in town and they haven't realized she was peaceful yet. I paused for a moment to further take in my surroundings. I couldn't see any familiar landmarks although there were a few shops around, like quills and sofa's so that meant that the market is probably nearby. And Zecora is also probably there because I remember she wanted to buy a rose or something. suddenly I got the best idea and quickly teleported myself about 100 feet in the air so I could get an aerial view, and guess what? you retain momentum through teleports, meaning it took all I had to keep teleporting higher and higher so I didn't hit the ground.

And so, there I was, Flying through the air, teleporting to the same spot again and again like in portal, except, unlike in portal, I couldn't change the direction of my momentum, so I was helpless because touching anything would make me go splat. Yup, I was a certified, grade A++ idiot. I screamed for about half an hour, that's not to say I was there for half an hour, I just couldn't scream anymore. after I couldn't scream anymore I just fell there for another half-hour, scared outta my mind, awhile after that the novelty wore off and It wasn't too bad.

After I finally calmed down I decided to just look at the town and saw that the market was literally at the end of the street I was just on. I sighed before looking over to the relatively close mountain that held Canterlot and decided to go there because if I could give off bloodcurdling screams for half an hour without any response, I doubted anyone was here. Maybe they were all at Canterlot for Twilight's coronation, but I doubt she invited everypony, well, actually, that seems like something Pinkie Pie might do, or maybe She's having such a huge party that everypony is there and Twilight used a soundproof spell on the house or something but It wasn't very logical to soundproof a party everypony went to so I think It was just the coronation idea.

With that out of the way, I started teleporting as fast as I could towards canterlot, still infinitely falling, hoping I could get a princess to zap me with some momentum cancellation spell or something

And so began the tale of the eternally falling stallion

Hey, guess what? I forgot I could levitate. "jesus fuck..." I muttered as I still fell through the air, but slowed down by the air I compressed via levitation, after a few minutes of swearing, self hatred, and repeated teleportations combined with creative (not really) use of levitation, I had slowed to the point where I could just fall into a nearby lake and be fine. I shivered as I fell into the ice cold water before swimming as fast as I could for shore. when I reached it I sighed with contentment at the feeling of semisolid sand beneath my hooves.

I stood there for a moment before promptly turning around and dunking my throbbing and very much sore horn in the water, the cold liquid feeling heavenly on the overtaxed appendage. After about thirty seconds I reluctantly got up and looked at the sun overhead. 'Well,' I thought, looks like I have about 6 more ho-the sun chose that moment to slingshot across the sky and under the horizon, the moon following after a pause but much slower, also revealing the image of a mare on it's face.

"huh..." I said, in a state of shock, "guess that means they weren't at the coronation... wait, why the fuck was ponyville empty!" I shouted, causing a couple birds to flutter out of a nearby tree. I sighed heavily unable to comprehend the reasoning behind the mysterious disappearance of an entire village, Starlight's time thing, maybe?, no, I would have been attacked by changelings, or mind slaves, or whatever else, plus, the farm wasn't a factory in this Ponyville, nor was Ponyville in shambles.

What could have happened, I pondered, changeling invasion, no, this is pre-story, I decided to wait Until I could meet somepony and ask them, because this thought process was getting me nowhere. I briefly shivered in the cool night air, the water in my fur causing me to feel like it was the middle of winter, lighting up my (still sore) horn I grabbed every good sized stick I could see and teleported them all a little to the left of me, resulting in a good sized pile of branches for me to work with.

I also gave another quick lookover of my surroundings I looked for anything I could use and created another small pile of long grass, which was easy to weave into a rope using levitation, and used all this to make a tiny tree house in a tree that split down the middle making for an Ideal spot for a hammock and yet again looked around for something to make into a cloth, which ended up being a fuckton of large leaves I sewed together using bits of nearby plant roots.

temporary home secure I quickly set up the hammock after teleporting inside and used a bit more leaf cloth to cover the doorway I settled down in my secure tree hammock and was surprised by how tired I had become without noticing. I drifted off to sleep hating the fact that this shit happens the second I show up...
