As the vision faded a ball of light exploded in front of me and threw me out of the artifact room. As I tried to understand what the visions meant I was picked up by Selene who then activated her hands in an ethereal blue light which covered my skin. I immediately noticed that the bruises from my rough collision mostly disappeared as the light gently glided over them.

I looked to Selene to see her looking down at me with worry in her eyes. I then turned of to Theta to see him arguing with Solaire, however all I could hear was ringing from the explosion. As the light made it’s way across my body the ringing subsided and I was able to hear again.

"-ou kidding me Solaire! How could you think he would do something like that?" questioned Theta.

"Well I am taking things at face value. I see him getting blown away from the artifact room, which is off limits by the way, and leaving a crater in my floor!" Solaire exclaimed, "For all we know he could have broken the magi-lock holding the door closed."

"W-what are you insane or is you're head just full of empty air! He has no CLUE on how magic works in this place let alone at all! You really think a human with no prior experience to magic was able to easily break a master magi-lock without setting off some kind of alarm?" Theta shot back.

"W-well... I... uh, maybe if..." Solaire stammered as he was cut of by Selene.

"Will you both SHUT UP and let me concentrate on making sure he doesn't have permanent brain damage!"

"Yes... sorry"
"Of course dear..."

I looked over to Selene with a small smile on my face and held my thumbs up signalling to her that I was okay and that she could stop healing me. Selene nodded and gave me a warm smile as she pulled away deactivating her magic. A few seconds after Selene moved away I tried to stand up but I quickly fell over as my head was still spinning from the collision. Luckily before I landed on the ground again Theta managed to grab my arm and hold me upright.

Thanks Theta I signed to him.

Theta smiled and patted me on the back. "Well If you get hurt I get hurt as well... to a limit anyway."

I cocked my head to the side as I was wondering what he meant.

"Well I'm part of you am I not? Your emotions to be specific." He replied.

I nodded my head in realisation, anything I do to get hurt means that Theta is in pain as well, I must be more careful for both mine and his sake. I was in the middle of thinking when Theta yanked me up onto my feet. I glared at him while he sheepishly smiled.

"Well that's all dandy now isn't it? But can we focus on something important. Like how you got past the magi-lock keeping the artifact room from being opened?" Solaire questioned.

I looked at him confused, The door was slightly ajar, I just walked in. I had no clue there was a lock.

Solaire's faced morphed into one of worry as he looked around, "You mean it was open! I'm sure it was locked, no-one else could have opened it other than Selene."

"This is the world between worlds right?" asked Theta.

"Yes? What is you point?" said Solaire.

"Well maybe something else who can travel freely through world between worlds was able to disrupt the lock."

"While that is true that something could have done that, what entity is strong enough?" Solaire asked.

I saw Selene's usually bright face morph into one of concern as she whipped her head around looking for something. She looked past me and her face went completely white.

"You need to go now! Solaire charge the world hopping spell!"

"On it!"

"What's going on?" Theta asked

"We will explain as soon as we can contact you in Equestria. Now go before it spots you!"

As soon as she says that an ethereal screech sounded from behind me as a swirling purple portal appeared in front of me an Theta. I could feel the entity's presence closing in on us both so I pushed Theta into the portal and jumped in after him. As we fell through the wormhole I could hear it's protesting screeches get quieter and quieter as we continued down the wormhole.

"You think this thing has an end?!" Theta shouted from below me.

I shrugged and he face-palmed at my uncaringness of our situation. After some time of falling the wormhole changed from purple to blue and white. I for one was happy at the change of scenery however Theta not so much.

"We're gonna die!" Theta screamed

I looked around and realised we were actually in the sky. I started to panic too as we got closer and closer to the ground. I really did think we were gonna die for a solid 10 seconds until a coloured blur flew towards us and caught us.

"Gotcha, no one is dying on my watch today!" The figure stated proudly.

I promptly passed out from the shock of nearly dying... again

Ugh did you catch the license plate of the bus? Theta? Theta!

"Surprise sleepy head welcome back to the world of the living." Theta spoke jovially.

Where are we?

"In Equestria of course come on get up."

How long have I been out

"For quite a while to be honest. Long enough to make the pony who saved you worry." Theta explained. "Also time passes weirdly in your head, did you know that?"

Fine I'll get up...

As my mindscape disappeared around me I was met with face full of yellow fur as a woman was reaching over me to open the window. I shot up suddenly trying to breathe after being suffocated underneath her. As my breathing slowly calmed I noticed that the woman was gone. I quickly took in my surroundings and noticed that I was most likely inside a log cabin. After taking in my surroundings I decided to have a quick look around the room, in one corner of the room stood a bookshelf with books surprisingly in English?

"Actually Ray, It's Equish, the language of the ponies. However technically it is English it just goes by a different name."

I nodded and looked through the books, they were mostly about how to help animals and about how they acted during different seasons of the year information an animal caretaker or veterinarian would need to know. However one of the books was different it was in the back covered by the other books as if it was hidden...

"What is it called?" inquired Theta.

It's called the 'Pony Sutra Vol 1' an interesting title.

"Read the description Ray."

Sure just let me... no, nope, nadda lets put that back.

"Honestly I agree lets just put it back where we found it, I don't want to know... that yet."

After putting the... special book back I saw that the window she was trying to open was in fact open. The air coming from the outside felt so... fresh and clean it felt so much cleaner than the air back on earth.

"I'm not surprised the air is so clean, I mean who would need fossil fuels when you have magic?" Theta explained

I agreed with him again and looked closely out of the window, I noticed to the right of the window was a large forest made up of oak and dark oak trees. It also seemed very dark in the forest as a darkness covered the edge of the forest preventing me from looking further inside of it. After seeing all I could I looked to my left and saw small thatch housed on top of a hill which means there is potential civilisation over there, probably a village or a town if i'm lucky. Just below the window was a garden full of beautiful flowers and neatly trimmed bushes that made the Earth nature preserves look like dumps. In the middle of the garden was a massive oak tree most likely centuries old going by it's size. Scattered throughout the tree were small bird feeds and if i looked closely enough I could see the faint outlines and silhouettes of birds hiding in the tree. Down to the right of the tree was a chicken pen filled with hay and scattered seeds all over the place, however no chickens were to been seen.

"Maybe they're sleeping?" offered Theta.

Yeah you're probably right.

As I took in the last view of the outside I went to turn back inside but a large brown figure hiding behind the tree caught my eye. The brown figure then stepped out from behind the tree and revealed itself to be a massive brown bear. My eyes widened as I ducked down beneath the windowsill and slowly crept towards the door hoping the bear didn't see me. Suddenly through the window I hear multiple voices coming down the road towards the house. I decided to listen in before deciding what to do.

"So you're saying this thing attacked you?" I heard one say.

"Oh.. well i'm not sure... but he startled me and I got scared... so I um.. sorry." I heard another one say in a near whisper.

"Hey it's no problem Flutters we're friends remember, plus if he did attack you I would pound him into the ground!" The first voice replied back.

"Hey Fluttershy how did y'all know he was a male?" A third one questioned.

"Um well when... I uh... When Rainbow brought him here, he had a bruise on his arm so I um... undressed him to check for other wounds... and I uh saw... his..." Fluttershy answered.

Breach of privacy much, shouldn't be surprised though...

"You saw his dick!? Wow Flutters I didn't take you for THAT kind of mare." The tomboyish sounding one, most likely Rainbow, laughed out.

"Oh I... um i'm sorry... I uh..." Fluttershy stammered most likely blushing.

"Hey come on now Rainbow that kind of teasin' aint nice. Plus you're one to talk having 'secret meetings' with Spitfire whenever y'all get the chance."

"H-hey that's not fair, we only meet up to work on our duo performances alone..." Rainbow replied.

I snickered Yeah right 'duo performances'.

"Hey Flutters did you see anything else when you undressed him?" Rainbow asked.

"I did... and it was horrible!" Fluttershy cried out.

I winced, She probably saw all the scars on our back Theta.

"I'm gonna have to agree with you there Ray." Theta replied

"What was horrible Shy? What did you see?"

"His back is um... horribly scarred. There were around seventeen distinct gashes I could see. That doesn't count the uh... large amount of scars on his chest and arms... I feel so bad for him." Fluttershy said with most likely tears in her eyes.

"Oh my Celestia, must be why the fella is so agitated, probably used to a life of fightin' to stay alive." The one with the southern accent replied.

"You're probably right AJ, which means we need to be very careful when approaching him in case he lashes out at us."

As Rainbow finished speaking Fluttershy opened the door and the trio walked in and slowly started heading up the stairs. I sat back down on the bed waiting for them to come in the room.

"Come on Flutters. You'll be fine." Rainbow spoke.

"I'm fine down here thanks..." Fluttershy replied.

"But what if he needs ya help to calm down Shy?" AJ reasoned.

"You're right and I haven't turned my back on anything yet, not even a manticore!" Fluttershy whisper shouted.

As they creeped slowly up the stairs my breath hitched as both me and Theta remained silent. Waiting. Hoping their reaction would be a friendly one. The door knob on the door turned slightly and the door was pushed inwards. My eyes then met their adorable faces.
