Celestia slowly opened her eyes blinking slightly and turning her head as a bright ray of sunlight is shining directly into her eyes. She yawns and turns over on her side, vision still blurry as she blinks the rest of the drowsiness out of her eyes.

'Thank Faust, it was all just a bad dream how silly of me to think it was real. Though it was quite scary now that I think about, oh well it should be time for morning court soon, so I should really get up.'

She smiles to herself content in her answer to the events of the previous night and fully opens her eyes, standing up. In a matter of seconds her false reality is shattered as she sees another of the tall bi-peds sitting in a corner, starting at her with it's unblinking eyes. The cruel looking armor it wears and the death stick leaning against the side of the wall. As soon as she lays eyes on it she starts shaking in terror quickly trying to spot an exit to the room she was trapped in, seeing the only one was blocked by the creature as it continued to watch her.

Seeing no chance at escape Celestia collapses to the ground shaking in fear as she realizes she is most likely going to go. She is most likely never going to see her star pupil , her sister or her kingdom again. A lone tear makes it's way down from her eye and to the floor.

"Just...kill me already you vile creature or do you get some sort of sick fascination watching the results of your terror," she says more tears starting to follow the first.

After she speaks the bi-ped recoils in shock quickly standing up and grabbing it's death stick.

"You...speak English? Da? This is....concerning. English is not language I speak well. Though...I am not wishing you harm as long as you wish none to me," the creature responds with in a thick accent , though he was clearly stumbling over some words.

Celestia jumps in shock at hearing the creature speak "You...you can speak Equish? I am not aware of this 'English' you speak of."

"I do not speak this 'Equish' you state. I am only semi-able to speak English. I am fluent in Russian the language of my home country. Though now that we have established I mean you no harm I suggest we share names, da? It is not often I get to speak to creature in Zone who does not wish to kill me in horrible painful ways." the creature says chuckling slightly.

"Names?...Very well I suppose that would be the most reasonable way to go about things. My name is Princess Celestia diarch of the nation of Equestria and I would really like to know where I am,"

"Ah...my name is Rostik Gestav and you are currently in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone fondly nicknamed to simply 'The Zone' by us STALKERS. Since you seem to not originate from here I am going to assume it has not created you, da? This is...strange as most things aside from us humans in the Zone were created by it. Abominations and horrors behind our wildest nightmares prowl in the dark waiting for a minute to strike and drag the unwary into a dark hellhole to tear them to pieces or suck out their blood."

"That...sounds frankly horrible...I think..I need to lay down again. I am feeling rather woozy and that...disturbing fact did not help me feel any better at all. So with all due respect Rostik, if I may just call you that. I think I am going to lay back down." Celestia states before passing out again, still weak from all the blood she had lost.
