The beginning
On Earth William's House

William was working on a freelance programming project , after a few hours he stopped to play some games before heading to bed

3 hours later location William's house

After 3 hours he woke up in a cold sweat and all stiff and looks at his phone noticing it isn't charging and that there is no electricity "Strange" He mutters before heading to the breaker

"Hmm it seems in order power outage maybe?" He said still stiff as he got shocked by the sound of growling

"I don't have any dogs on my property last time I ..." He stopped talking in shock as he looks out the window and sees a forest outside
"What the actual hell!!" he shouted as he looks outside he sees what seems to be a wooden wolf

"Wait is that not... Nope, impossible, I'm still dreaming no way , I have read to many fanfics this isn't possible"

the timberwolf growled and noticed William through the windows and lunged at them hitting it failing to get inside and snarls

William found this humorous and laughed "Well for a dream its rather funny to see a timberwolf hit a window and fall back , hmm this is rather a Lucid dream so might as well have some fun , now let's see if my house has the same tools as my house when i'm awake.sadly I can't seem to manipulate this dream like some other dreams I had but well might still have fun" he responded while walking to his little tinker room passing his not yet connected solar generator and panels and unfinished projects as he heads to a dusty tool box taking out an axe

"Well I hardly use this well time to have some fun still hate that I feel so sore" he heard the snarls of the timberwolf still hitting the house its windows and doors trying to get inside

"Fisty little thing aren't you" he responded to the now mildly irritating timberwolf.

As he opened the door the timberwolf jumped at him and bit his arm causing William to hit the beast with the axe and look in anger as he started to slash at the timberwolf in anger with the axe.

The beast its legs cracking and breaking under the slashes of the axe before ending with the axe imbedded in it's skull.

William took the axe out of the timberwolf its skull with an angry growl "Bloody hell that hurt , well I can count out the dream idea , shit!" He shouted while wincing in pain of the bite before heading inside to get a first aid kit to treat his wound

"I don't know if this is punishment from all freaking mighty god or some freak accident that I'm here but fuck , I'd better prepare I don't wanna end up wolf chow or whatever else lives in this damn forest" he heads inside his tinker room and looks at his in uninstalled solar generator and starts setting it up taking his tools with a big sigh

"I need electricity I rather not have all my food go bad and have my electrical tools become use less"He said before going outside to install the solar panels

The sound of working attracted some unwanted attention from a manticore.

William looked at it in shock "Shit shit shit shit" he quickly the soldering iron he took to solder on the electrical wires for the solar panels and generator for his defense as the manticore headed towards him ready to attack only to get burned at its paws and face by the human who jabbed the hot soldering iron at the manticore in It's fright the manticore growled and rushed away in pain of his now scorched body parts.

William let out a sigh of relief "Bloody hell Thats scary well I'll have to clean the soldering iron but damn I'm lucky my house and stuff came along with me"

Meanwhile in the golden oak library

Twilight was muzzle deep in a book but then suddenly felt something strange when she put her book down Rarity came in the golden oak library and rushed to twilight

"Twilight Darling were you working on a magical experiment again?" Rarity asked

Twilight looked at Rarity "No I didn't but there was a small fluctuation in ambient magic , I just wanted to go and see what caused it" The unicorn replied before putting her book away as she gets up.

Spike heard Rarity and blushed waving at her as he came out of the kitchen "Hi Rarity" Spike said in a loving way as he looked at the mare

Rarity looked at the young dragon "Hello Spikey Darling" the white unicorn replied

Twilight looked at Spike "Spike I'll be off to look into something will you take care of the Library when I'm out "

Spike looked at twilight and nodded with a big smile.

Twilight smiled back and said "That's my number one assistant" She replied before leaving the golden oak library

"I'll see you later darling" Rarity responded to the young dragon before following Twilight.

"So Twilight Darling what was that strange feeling and effect on magic" Rarity asked the made

Twilight looked at Rarity with a big smile "It was a ambient magic fluctuation normally you have them near major spells relying on the ambient magic in the area though I wonder what could cause such a big flux in ambient magic" Twilight said walking through ponyville following the trail of the magical fluctuation. Before being met by Rainbow Dash.

"Twilight something weird just happened I was laying on a cloud just chilling after some practice but then suddenly poof I fell through it and fell on another cloud, did you do one of your egg head experiment's again" Rd asked twilight

Rarity looked at rainbow and responded "No dear it wasn't Twilight who did so I already asked her if she was doing experiments"

Twilight looked worried "So the ambient magic got low enough to make you fall through a cloud that's dangerous"

RD looked at Twilight and asked "Can you translate that from egghead to pony?"

Twilight looked annoyed but calmed down understanding that not every pony has expertise in magic and said "Well you know how everything has magic in it the plants even the air water and the rest it went pretty low for a while causing well issues its stable now but I'm following it's faint trail so we can find out what caused it"

RD looked at Twilight "so the magic got low and weird things happened got it , well when I find the mare or monster responsible for this I'll kick their flank to Tartarus. " she said boldly.

Twilight nodded "I agree causing a magic fluctuation of such magnitude is dangerous some pony could have gotten hurt" Twilight replied as her friends and her followed the trail

A while later in the Everfree Forest

William was done setting up the solar panels and generator for his house as he felt like he was being watched and he saw two Hazel blue eyes causing him to take his stuff into his house

"I can't deal with more right now , I need to rest first" he thought as he looks outside he noticed the Hazel blue eyes are gone.

He takes a cola out of his fridge and sits down in his sofa "thank god my house and stuff came along with me" he said before drinking and relaxing in his sofa as he thought deeply about his situation.

While looking out his window noticing some small birds and smiles "at least the small beautiful things remain" he says smiling at the beautiful birds who when they noticed him flew off "Awe come on" he sighed

Back with Twilight and the rest

The three mares were discussing while following the trail

"Twilight are you sure about this?" Rainbow Dash replied

"The trail leads into the Everfree we will need Fluttershy her expertise with animals on this" She replied

"Well Darling, I'd rather not have to deal with any monsters since I recently had a hooficure. I can't stand the thought some vile monster causing more issues with magic the fabric I was working on is ruined" Rarity said to her friends as they walked to fluttershy her cottage

Fluttershy was outside feeding some squirrels when the girls arrived near her cottage she saw them coming but her attention was grabbed by a few birds that flew to her and started talking to her

"Oh my , that sounds scary and dangerous, oh" she replied in her soft kind voice to the birds their chirping then her friends head towards her.

"Fluttershy, we will need your help . I know you don't like going in the Everfree but something strange has happened" Twilight said to Fluttershy

"Miss Blue feather just told me about a strange creature in the forest in a house maybe it has something to do with it"

"A house who builds a house in the Everfree and why would a monster do so?" Rainbow asked

"Maybe it's not a monster but a smart creature , maybe it's been living secluded in the Everfree for its hole life. I might discover a new species and its intelligent" Twilight said enthusiastically

"Still would be a uncivilized brute if it has chosen to life in the Everfree if you ask me" Rarity replied

"Uhm ... Well miss blue feathers said it was in shock and anger when it noticed a manticore so , I think it is lost she did say it made a manticore flee and killed a timberwolf" fluttershy replied

"Wait it scared of a manticore , that's awesome" Rainbow Dash shouted

"And also very dangerous if its a lost predator in a unknown location it could stroll out and attack ponies , it might just be as smart as cave ponies so it could still be dangerous" Twilight added

"Well from what blue feathers told me it only attacked after being attacked or near its home it didn't hurt miss blue feathers and her family it just smiled and seemed to be wearing clothes" fluttershy said

"It wore clothes , hmm maybe it is intelligent I do hope its isn't just cave pony rags and which pony in their right mind would stay in the forest?" Rarity asked

"Maybe we can find out , maybe Zecora knows about this strange creature" Twilight added

"Well what are we waiting for the creature scared of a manticore , I wanna see how awesome and scary it is" Rainbow said

And so the four mares went into the Everfree to speak with Zecora about the strange creature

Later at Zecora her hut

Twilight and the four mares went inside of Zecora her hut

"Aah my friends have come to talk , tell me why this dangerous trail you walk" Zecora said welcoming the mares

"Hi Zecora ,We are here to ask you about a strange creature in the Everfree?" Twilight said

"In the forest many creatures I see, more precise you need to be" Zecora replied

"Well we are looking for a strange creature that lives in a house wearing clothing we think it has something to do with some issues with magic before" Twilight replied to Zecora

"The issue with magic I had too, while making a special kind of brew. This creature you speak of I did see but after some thought I let it be. Wounded i thought it would stay but treated his arm was so I went away" Zecora replied

"His?! it's a stallion? All alone here" Twilight replied in shock

"Yes that realization have me a scare when I noticed its facial hair. But mareless as he maybe , he scared away and killed a beast of the Everfree. First I thought he went out in fright but all he did was restore captured light." Zecora answered

"Captured light? He knows magic and is all alone , why didn't you do anything he might be scared or starving" Twilight replied angrily

"Oh .. No I wouldn't want the poor stallion to be scared and alone" fluttershy said worried

"Magic I don't think it be , atleast not known to you or me. As for him I'd not be scared for it seems he is well prepared" Zecora replied

"Darling we can't just leave a stallion of any kind out in the wild even if he is of a strange race we don't know , we all know how emotional and weak they are" Rarity responded

"Yeah like a weak stallion of any race can scare a manticore" RD replied in disbelief

"Maybe it used the ambient magic to make it strong to suppress the stallion their weakness of heart" Twilight replied

"So it used so much magic not to be a chicken and to survive lame" Rainbow replied

"Rainbow!! That's no way to talk about a stallion" Rarity replied

"Why not it isn't here so it won't cry cause it can't hear me" Rainbow replied

"... Um can we go look for him, I'm worried and I'd rather not want to see it in a poor location and underfed without care" fluttershy said softly

"Of its abode you do not need worry made stone and strong inside he will surely last long" Zecora said

"That only makes it more stranger and dangerous if he has to use that magic again who knows what will happen and which mare leaves a house for a stallion in the middle of the Everfree" Twilight sighed and then rushed out followed by her friends

meanwhile in William's house

"Well I got enough food and snacks for now I got electricity now I only need water , more protection and well maybe a little garden for food , I wonder if I can eat manticore or if there are any wild bunnies or other animals to eat" he sighed

"well I can't complain still why the Everfree of all places to be dumped in and how is it even possible well not like I can find a way back nor would I want to I mean if I can get comfy enough , still I wonder how far on the timeline I'm at what season corresponds with now if they even do" William sigh's loudly

"too many unknowns to deal with still it could be worse I mean at least I have something of home with me" he said as he stands up

"Still so darn stiff and a bit nauseous now too , maybe its something in the air or something to do with coming here hell through whatever means I ended up here it could just be temporary side effects" He thought he then closes and locks everything up and enjoys a nice cup of tea

Author's Note

Sorry if the story is set before the twilicorn era, also I preemptively already added tags for later chapters also the anthro descriptions wouldn't make sense if it was given by a pony POV , next chapter Is soon also sorry for the slow development as for the story will continue soon I sorta want things to build up logically story wise and I hope it isn't to bad since it's my first story here
