_______Journal__________

In the continuation of my mistakes, I went back to the base and pondered what situation I am in now, I know that I am not making any progress on towards home I still couldn’t figure out how to cast magic and I don’t even know how to make an contact on the local inhabitants, I just know that I am far away from the village where I first landed and I am stranded on this world on my own exception of some individuals like the mare and the dog who is sleeping in my base.

After the pondering, I grimly came back to the base not knowing what to make my move due to the lost of resolve and will to fight, it was to some extent sad and , It was madly depressing thought that so I managed to trip on a rock and hit my head.

After I came back home I slowly made my back on the tarp and sadly the dog was gone, without any emotional support I was vulnerable and was easily to be preyed upon an-

________First person______

I stopped my jotting on the piece of paper and actually started to produce an single tear in the corner of my eye, this was getting out of hand my morale was low because of the realization of no way pf going back home I made enemies instead of friends.

And I didn’t have any second chances of encounters in my travels and I instead never made any contact with any creature at all, this was the darkest thought in my life, in this world

I continued to silently mourn my own demise when suddenly the dog came back, and sensed something in me that she eventually knew that something was wrong with me.

She slowly approached me and hesistantly placed her paw in my shoulder and layed down on my lap, since I was currently sitting with my legs crossed, she released her paw and placed her whole Big body on my lap, it felt like an overgrown dog but strangely it felt relaxing and eases my stress enough for me to recover temporarily.

-------------Third Person---------------

The Diamond dog was Trying her best to cheer up her new Friend and master although she preferred to call him Friend rather than master, all because she was different from the pack than previously thought, but she rather would save it for another ti-

The man shifted his sitting position uncomfortably as the diamond dog advanced at the man snuggling to comfort him in the smallest way if a big possible way, The man was Confused by this affection and was shifting away but the dog suits to follow until he reached at the corner of the base and the dog continued to Comfort him in his darkest hour

Minutes passed without being disturbed, Things were now at a bright pace the dog successfully cheered up the man and encourage him to do another day.

The suddenly an disturbance was heard outside of the base and it was consisted of flapping noises and An hoofsteps then the man suddenly realizes who was on his own backyard, The Mare named baggage moon.

Baggage Moon Didn’t have an smooth landing and she instead landed loudly and combined with her waking up recently it was in a state of confusion she didn’t even drink her fruit yet, But she had to dispose her plan onto the Creature known as Ano

The man known as Ano opened the tarp, then the man was startled for an bit as the mare went inside fast in his base, the diamond dog was Narrowing her eyes on the mare as protective instinct of the dog was activated and the gazed of the Bat mare was Obsolute and the man.

The Man Broke the tension knowing the “stare” of confrontation due to him having experiences on that,

The Bat Mare known as Baggage moon broke her slitted stare on the diamond dog and turn her attention on the Creature she liked to call, The do did the same al be it more of an Happy tone rather than a disappointed tone.

The man turned to the mare and said” What, you, doing?” the man questioned

The Dog knew that this was a dialogue and thus she laid down on the ground stretched at her body and Went to relax without protest of the two creatures

The two of them looked at the Dog Trying to protest for the lack of space but couldn’t find the words to say so, so the let it slide off them and they finally spoke.

“So, What, need?” The man Asked, looking for an better spot to go

“I’m here to ask you to go and help me Get some things by tomorrow, We were lucky since my mother doesn’t allow my sisters and I to Get things yet” Baggage moon replied

The man’s eyes went wide for an bit and all of a sudden the voice came back

“Heh I was waiting for this”

“Wait! You were waiting for THIS!”

“Yes, You were ignorant enough that you didn’t listen to her proposition”

“propo-What?”

“an deal Ano, An Deal”

“What Deal?”

“Ask her, Not me”

Baggage Moon lokked at the man stare at the wall for several moments, she was idly looking at the man bagging his head, asi if he was some sort of mad Pony, but he recovered and said something

“What was deal?” the man queried, not knowing what her response will be

The mare was a bit surprised by the response and was largely Puzzled by the man so she repeated everything of what deal she would they do, And the man was pricelessly confused at the proposition he is in

“so, I help you steal?” the man repeated in quote

“Yes” she simply answered

“Why Do I have to-“ The Dog stretched at the man’s lap “-Agh, To help you, in Burg- burglary?” The man stuttered at the word

“Because you agreed with me” she smugly grinned for a little bit

“What di I say?” The man asked

“Because” she shifts her self in a better position while simultaneously “You said Yes” And found a better spot to sit on and sat on

“I said that?” He recurred

“YES!” she screamed in new found frustration

“Okay so .why?” He lamely replied

She stared at the creature frustration creeping in her mind as her second hand curled up into a fist ready to slap any creature at her distance, she was having enough of the creature’s shenanigans.

The man noticed the creeping anger, the man realized the mistake and he took himself a fool and said something to calm her down but he wouldn’t like it one bit at all

“*sigh* What’s Deal?” The man conformed

Baggage Moon anger was finally vented off her and the creature finally accepted her dominance over him, Without an second thought she relayed all the plans on him again

“The Deal was for You to help me get some certain things for me, like fruits and what not ”she cuts herself to breath and continued ” but there is an Another in this deal, you will help me get some valuables too” and with that she finished relaying the plan unto the man

The man Easily bypass all of the information, He knew to himself that he was no stranger to stealing due to him having multiple experience on the line of work and Personal interest, taking this moment to ask any information he exploited it

“so where me?” He asked, definitely drawing the first knowledge he could grasp in this world

The mare was confused at the creature’s question, she assumed that the creature was referring to his own species but no knowledge was to come into her mind so she naturally said “no, Don’t know what yo are”

The man was confused at first of the mare not knowing where she is, but he soon realized his mistake in the Inglish and soon corrected it “Where Am, I?”

The mare heard his correction, and finally snaps her confusion away and easily said “Were in equestrian, I thought you were smart” she made an witty remark on the Creature which she underestimated his intelligence

“What, smart” The man asked himself but composed himself again to something important “Uagh never mind, What is Ponies?” He asked hopefully he will get some knowledge out of this creatures, He may read the book but it was only one book

Baggage Moon felt a little offended censured “Oh yeah, like I don’t even Know YOU” she ended it with an point of the index finger

The man confused but then realized that he might’ve offended her for he knew it very well and sent out an “sorry, If I Hirt You” The man crudely Apologized

Baggage Moon was surprised at the creatures kindness as if she was first exposed to it, Her heart flipped for an second and came back to her, she shook it off and “ I Accept your, apology” she Internally blushed but she hid it well

The man naïve’shly smiled that he’s apology was accepted , he could remember the time where almost everyone doesn’t have this tolerance before so he felt a bit proud of himself, so he decided to chat for a bit before she leaves

“*sigh* Name is” he took his time to contemplate his name anonymity but he shrugged it off knowing that it was useless especially he was not in his old world unless he came back of course” Ano” He extended an hand

The mare stared at the hand the man extended, Baggage Moon looked at the mans eyes through her night vision but no matter the visibility she couldn’t tell any mischief in his eyes, so she tentatively reached out to his hand and

“My name Is Baggage Moon, again” shook it softly “Nice to meet you ano” And retracted it, and positioned herself with crossed legs sitting while the man let his legs spread as the diamond dog relaxed herself into almost sleeping state

“Moon?” The Man questioned her name sake but to his opinion it fits perfectly to the mare so he accepted the fact

“so, what kind of creature are you Ano?” Baggage moon interrogated, Hopefully tying to get some answers out of him of what oddity he is doing in her Territory

The Katipunero took his time to think of his answer and it was concluded that he was an “Tao”

“Tao?” Baggage Moon repeated in a confused tone now knowing how to response to this strange word

“Tao, As in Man” Ano explained

Now Baggage Moon was even more confused of what this “Man” and this “tao” words and now she slowly by slowly realized that what they called their own species so she said “What’s the difference Between Tao And Man?” she curiously asked, With an sudden interest

Ano was bemused at first but then the train of realization hit him that he is in another world so he did not thake the account of everything will be possible so he said “Tao Is Me , Man Is spain” the man confessed almost painful look in his face, bigotry was common for Spaniards to do in his place when a sudden remembrance of people being mistreated for no reason at all sadden him and that’s the main factor of him joining the rebels

“so Taos are You and Man are Spaniards? Whats that?” she questioned deeper, not sensing Ano’s memoirs.

“please stop” Ano suddenly choked and a large tear appeared on his eyes, the sudden recall brought up some sudden sadness in his heart and with that he placed his back against the dirt wall and he barely suppressed an sniff, the dog sensed Her Friend’s sadness stood up on four legs and Hugged him

Baggage Moon was surprised of how the Dog moved but that was not important, what she focused is that her friend began crying out of the sudden, the more she think about it the more she saw their similarities

Baggage Moon approach Ano, The Dog was not caring at the Mare’s presence right now she has an friend to cheer up, Baggage Moon took on crawl to the Tao and slowly placed her hand on his shoulder and reassured him that HE was not the only one suffering from the mistreatment of people

As her time of being an batpony taught her anything, that Race Exceptionalism was prominent to the ponies, And they weren’t exactly lenient on the Batponies as the Children of Luna herself, But she didn’t have enough time to remember history right now she has an Friend to Cheer

The Dog shifted a bit giving space to an grouphug, The man Cold not contain his Tears any longer And he sobbed remembering what his masters used to say to him and Everyone including his family Especially to his oldest-

Ano was Eye went wide as the sight before him was Three Creatures Comforting him, The mar- Baggage moon was stroking his back and the dog was Hugging him so tight and smoothly at the same time.

At this point the two species were comforting the distraught man, who lost everything dearly to him, but no he wouldn’t give up he will find his way back home no matter what happens to his body and mind as long as he can remember it he will carry on

“But first we’ll need to end this Hugging session Ano”
