The Truth Behind What’s Loved

Ch. 1 – Death is the start

Youtube Video

Ah, there nothing more relaxing than listening to bad meets evil’s lighters on your laptop while watching MLP: FIM. Ever since the summer started that’s all I’ve been doing all day; listen to music and watching ponies. My parents tell me to go outside, catch some fresh air but PONIES. They don’t know it but I’m a brony.

The only people that know I’m a brony are my younger sister and my older brother, and even they love the show too. My brother doesn’t give a fuck about people finding out his a brony and my sister is young so she can without being judged. I, however, am very worried about what other might think of me, so I don’t tell them my secret.

I was in my bedroom, lying in my bed, watching the “read it and weep” episode of MLP on my laptop that was on my lap (See what I did there?) while listening to my favorite rapper. And Royce da 5´9, he’s pretty good but ems better. I watch the show on my laptop because of 2 things; one, I don’t have cable and two, I live in Portugal, therefore, we don’t get the hub channel.

I don’t know how I found out about rap but I don’t care. I hope one day I get to rap just like many rappers that I know but I’m too young to do it. So, I’m basically stuck here, in my house, with nothing to do besides the internet and watching TV. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOring.

My sister is at my aunt’s house, my brother’s working at… I don’t even know, my parents are working too and my friends don’t live near my place. So my choices are: keep surfing the web for ponies or go outside. For once I’m gonna go with the second option. Taking the laptop off of my lap and turning it off, I got up from my bed and made my way out of my bedroom, grabbing my Iphone, earphones, wallet, (Which contained my money, ID and a subway ticket) and a black hooded jacket on my way to the door .

I live on the second floor of a 3 story building, so once I made it out the door I walked downstairs to the gate (or whatever the hell that was but I’ll call it a gate), opened it, walked outside and closed the gate behind me.

Now, I’m not so much as an ‘outside man’ but I do enjoy a good walk(ing on sunshine) once in a while. The road split in to two; one going to the left which there was a park, more buildings and a café on the other side and the other going up and to the right that goes downhill and so and so. I decided to take the route on the left to get to the café to meet some new people and maybe drink some coffee.

As I was walking I couldn’t help but notice a black SUV that passed by me at high speed, irritating me. Some people just do this for fun until someone looses a life. Then they’ll pray for another life like in the video games. That reminds me. Note to self; buy ‘Sleeping dogs’.

Nearing the café the black SUV passed by me again but this time it seemed a little slower but not enough so I could see the driver. Now, confused and annoyed, I quickened my pace towards the place. I took a right on the corner to reach my destination.

As I neared the café I could hear the sounds of a speeding car getting closer. I turned to my right and I saw the (you guessed it. No? Really? Wow…) SUV from before coming right at me. I saw the person who was driving it. It was a blond woman with long hair and a grey business suit and matching pants.

I should have paid attention to what I was doing because if I moved I would’ve missed the car. The SUV had hit me in the stomach and, instead of going over the car and crash on to the road, it smashed into the nearby building.

I saw the people of the café come out to see what that noise was and as soon as they saw me, some of them gasped while others got their phones to call an ambulance. One of them, a guy I think, I couldn’t see much because my vision was blurred, he ran up to me and said something that I didn’t understand.

The pain that I felt was excruciating. I wanted to scream but when I did, the pain got worse. Blood started to come flowing out of my mouth as consciousness took me into a deep sleep.

The last thing I saw was the woman inside the car with a smile. Not an evil smile, but a smile that said ‘Don’t worry, you’ll be okay’.

Fuck you, lady.


You know how they say that if you die, you’ll see a light at the end of the tunnel? Well, fuck the tunnel and the light ‘cause all I see is white. White everywhere (racist much?). I was currently laid down on the floor when I finally woke up. At first my vision was blurred and I started feeling like my head had been hit by a car, which kind of was, then when I could see better I saw that was in, what looked like, purgatory. Now, I’m not one to freak out when I die and appear in someplace else but…

“WHERE THE FUCK AM I?!” I yelled to nowhere and nobody in particular. This place was starting to creep me out. I stood up and started running to… to umm… uh… I DON’T EVEN KNOW. Let’s just say I was walking in that direction.

I checked my phone that was still in my pocket and saw the time; 15:30. I put it in back in my pocket and continued my way through this place, my running turning into a walk.

The scenery around me didn’t change while I was passing through. It was just nothing here, nothing there and an impossibly invisible platform under my feet that kept me from falling. Seriously, it’s like the floor was an endless abyss to which I could die… again.

“Where am I?” I asked to the nothingness that surrounded me.

“You are in purgatory.” Said someone behind me that stopped me on my tracks. I turned towards the voice and I saw a woman with long blond hair and a grey business- WAIT A MINUTE!

“It’s you.” I said with anger rising in my voice. “You’re the bitch that killed me.”

“Yes, I am, and I am very sorry for that but it had to be done.” She said in a calming tone that aggravated me more.

“You’re sorry? You killed me and you say you’re sorry? Am I supposed to believe that?” I said while walking towards her. I have a feeling that I’m not gonna like this bitch.

When I was a few feet away from her I stopped. Not because I wanted but, like, I was being forced to stop. I tried to move but I just couldn’t. I looked at her and she had a hand up with a yellow aura around it.

“Now, before you decide to beat me up, will you listen to what I have to say?” She said in a kind voice and with a gentle smile. That calmed me down, for some reason.

I was still unsure whether I should trust this woman that killed me, but nonetheless. “Okay, I’ll listen.” As I said that, she released her hold on me. How did she do that?

“Good.” A chair appeared behind her and she sat down on it. “Want to take a seat?” She motioned behind me. Just like her, there was a chair waiting for me to sit down. I did as she told me to. “I believe introductions are in order, yes?” I nodded. “My name is Megan, but you can call me Meg.”

I guess I can tell her my name, since she did so herself. “Well, I’m-“

“Gonçalo, I know.” Maybe not.

“How did you know?” I am starting to get really scared. Who am I kidding? I was already really scared.

“This may make me sound like a stalker, but I’ve been watching you for years.”

… woah. “What do you mean?”

“I will answer that question, but first answer me this; do I look familiar to you?”

Why is she asking me if she looks familiar? Well, let me see. The blond hair, blue eyes, suit, and pants and, by looks of it, she’s in her 30’s or 40’s… Mom? My mom doesn’t have blue eyes but that’s as close as I can get. “No, you don’t look familiar. Why, are you family member, if you are, I’m sorry but I always forget about some family members that I rarely see.” I smiled sheepishly and rubbed the back of my neck with my hand.

She giggled. “No, I’m not a family member. I speak English, didn’t you notice that?” She’s right.

I facepalmed at my own stupidity. Is facepalmed even a word? Oh well, it just became a word. She giggled some more.

“I’ll give you a hint; a friend of yours told you about me.”

I looked at her in curiosity. “Who?”

“His name is Graham. You may know him as Dragon Emperor Geon.”

DEG? That guy told me about her? The only girl, that I can remember him telling me about, was the first human in equestria. And even that…

Realization hit me straight across the face. “You’re that Megan?”

“Quite.”

“But equestria isn’t real.”

“Actually, equestria is real. You just see it as a cartoon.”

She didn’t just…“So you know I’m a brony, huh?”

“Yes, I did tell you I’ve been watching you haven’t I?”

Why do I believe everything she says? Do I really want the show to be real? I did die and come here out of nowhere, that’s weird already, so I might as well should. “Yeah, you did. But I’ve got so many questions now.”

Meg smiled. “I will be happy to answer them.”

Okay then, let’s get started. “First question; where are we?”

“We are in purgatory. You died and this is where you go when you die.” Meg said in a matter of factly.

Wait. ”Aren’t I suppose to be in heaven or hell?”

“This is the first place the souls of the dead go. Then the Lord makes a decision whether the soul goes to heaven or hell.” Okay, I should have known that but, apparently, I’m an idiot.

“My next question is, and I’m sorry if you may be offended, why do you look older?”

“I’m not offended and it’s simple, really. The show that you watch is generation 4 while I am from generation 1. The time difference between those two is of 30 years, just like generation 2 is 20 years apart, G3 is 10 years and G3.5 is 5 years.”

“Makes sense. How long have you been there?”

“I have been there until the end of generation 1, when I was 15 till the age 25 years old.”

Let me do my math here. If G1 was 30 years ago and she was 15 when she got in Equestria, then she’s 45 or so now. Funny thing is, I hate math but I’m good at it. “Why aren’t you there anymore? What happened?”

Meg looked disheartened with that question. “Humanity happened.” She said, her voice ice cold.

I started to worry. “What do you mean by that? Were there any other humans?”

She looked at me. “For you to know that, I have to tell you the true story of equestria.” My worries and fears rose when she said that. Nonetheless, I nodded. “It all started when I was on my farm, brushing my horse’s mane in the barn. I can’t remember her name though; age can really get to you, huh?” She laughed as did I. “I was just relaxing when a storm came brewing in the skies. I thought it was weird because the weather schedule didn’t predict a storm that day. I thought they made a mistake but then I saw a horse coming down from the clouds and into my well. I panicked and ran to it and pulled the rope up. What I saw shocked me. It was not a horse, it was a Pegasus. Not only that but also a talking Pegasus. Imagine my surprise.

Her name was Firefly. She was so full of pride but she seemed like a good pony. She told me that, back in her town, ponies were kidnapped by Stratedons (if I got it wrong, say so in the comments) and I said I would love help. We flew there and, let me tell you, it was the most beautiful place I have ever seen. Such peace, harmony and beauty and it was in trouble.” I nodded and let her continue the story. “I couldn’t just leave them to suffer, so the ponies and I decided to rescue the imprisoned ones. It was hard and it took us a lot of time but, in the end, we did it.”

“What happened after that?” This sounded like generation 1 crap but I actually liked where this was going.

“Afterwards, King Leonidas was so happy that her ponies were safe she granted me the ability to stay in equestria.” Meg’s smile was full a joy. “I couldn’t be happier. To live amongst the most peaceful and most cute people in the universe. It was all like a dream come true.” That’s cliché. “It was like that for months and in that time, I had learned how to use magic, travel through dimensions, which was a struggle at first but I got used to it and also give other ponies powers to control the elements of nature.

Then one day, Celestia made a choice to bring more humans into equestria. I was ecstatic. More of my kind in this world? It was just too good to be true. At first, when they came, everything was normal, peace, quiet and the occasional adventure,” At this her smile faded and turned into a frown. “but 5 years after they arrived, they started acting like they owned the world.

They started getting greedy and violent; some of them killed others just for fun. Some of them even threatened me to give them magic. I was so scared that I just gave it to them. Sure, the ones who committed crimes went to prison but they either waited till they got out to keep doing what they were doing or they would break out of jail. They did horrible things to them all because they were sick and tired of these ponies. Why? I kept asking myself that as I saw my kind performing unforgivable crimes in front of my eyes. I cried every minute of every day whenever that happened. That was only the majority of us; the ones who didn’t were too scared to do anything.

Another 5 years passed when the most horrible thing happened. One of the humans, who was my boyfriend, killed King Leonidas. Queen Sun Ray had enough of us and teleported us back to earth where we just lived our lives like in equestria; filled with sins. I tried to contact her to tell her how much I was sorry for my kind did but I found it to be impossible. I just let it be.”

Tear started rolling out of her eyes as I let all the information process inside me. They killed equestria’s king. Bastards should be punished. Afterwards, I looked at her with a sad expression and said in the kindest voice I could. “I’m so sorry for what humanity has done to that world. Trust me, if I was there, I would instantly kick their asses for what they did.”

Meg looked at me and smiled. “Thank you, but I wasn’t finished.”

“You weren’t?” I asked, unsure of what was going to happen next.

“After we returned to earth, I had to take away the magic from the other humans so they couldn’t cause more damage than they already did. Let’s just say that, even if they had magic or not, they still did the same things. I thought they were going to be like that forever.

It wasn’t until 10 years later that all of them had come to me, I thought they were gonna beg for the powers that I gave them before, but when I saw them, they looked like they had been crying recently and I could hear from what they were saying that they were full of regret. It took them 10 years to see the consequences to their actions, but they finally admitted it. Me, apparently, being the group leader decided to have a reunion to decide what we would do next.”

I nodded expectantly, almost certainly knowing that my part was coming.

“In said reunion, we all came to a conclusion. To send our message of forgiveness to equestria we needed the most peaceful and the friendliest person in the world to help us.”

Oh, I get it. “And that would be me?” Meg smiled and nodded. “But, there are millions of other people in the world who, possibly, are way friendlier than me.”

“Well, we also needed someone who knew about the show so he or she could get an idea of what he or she is getting into.”

”What do you mean ‘get an idea’?” I asked curiously. Maybe some of the HIE fics that I read are right.

She sighed. “Equestria isn’t all rainbows and sunshine. Sure, it is better than Earth in many ways but it is far from being heaven.”

Oh boy, this is going to be hard. “Why did I have to die to go there?”

“If I used a teleportation spell when you were on earth and still alive, there would be a great chance that your soul would be gone forever.”

Well, I’m in deep shit. Humans were in equestrian before, that means I have little to nothing to explain to them about us, humans became what they are on earth (at least some of them. Still cliché though), The Queen got them back to earth, they watch me and kill to get there for a special mission. Seems like a normal day for me. Not to mention that I know who the king and queen are now.

One question still nagged me. “Why couldn’t you wait until I died on my own to send me there?”

“I’m very sorry about that but when we find the messenger we need to act fast. For every second we waste here doing nothing, the more things happen in equestria that we don’t know.”

“There isn’t anything I can do here, is there?” I said in a calm tone. “My only option here is yes, am I right?”

“That is correct, I’m sorry but sacrifices need to be done for we to start we this.”

I laughed. That does sound like me. “Yeah, one last question;” I took a deep breath, hoping that the floodgates don’t open. “Can I see my family, one last time before I go?”

She smiled. “As you wish.” She raised her left hand that was glowing the same yellow color, before a screen appeared beside her. It looked like the 40 inch flat screen TV I had in my room. The screen showed the car accident that had killed me, a crowd that had gathered around the scene, the news and… my family. My mom was crying on my dad’s shoulder as he held her in his arms. He had tear streaks on his cheeks, he had been crying. Near them were my brother who was kneeled down and hugging my little sister and comforting her. This scenery brought tears to my eyes as I covered my face with my hands and sobbed.

I felt a hand on my shoulder that made me look up. Megan looked down at me with a kind expression. When I finally calmed down she asked “Again, I am sorry for doing this to you. It was our only option.”

I wiped my tears with my hands and stood up from the chair. “I’ve seen enough, thank you.” Meg nodded as she made the screen disappear. “Ok, I’m ready to go.”

“Good, now” She walked a few feet away from me. “before you go, you must know 2 things; you will be seen as their enemies.”

I briefly interrupted her with a smile. “I know how to turn that around.”

She smiled. “Good luck with that. The second thing you need to know is, because of the magic that the other world possesses and the fact that this world doesn’t have any magic I have no idea of what may happen to you when you get there.” This scared me a little. “You don’t need to worry though; it can’t possibly be that bad.” How the hell do you know that. Are you a wizard?

I sighed, already making my decision. “Alright,” I puffed my chest out while closing my eyes “I’m ready.”

Afterwards, I felt something in my entire body that made me fall down to the ‘floor’, unconscious. Equestria, prepare your anus…

… That’s not right.
