”This one? Are you sure?

“Yes I have chosen him. He has a good heart. He can save them all.”

“Very well then. We will see the inevitable outcome of your decision soon.”


Dreamur woke to find himself laying down in a reclinable chair. It looked like it was designed during the time of Romans, but looked surprisingly in perfect condition. He lifted his head up to observe his surroundings. Big room, big doors, comfortable chair, large pillars, nice lighting, it was a nice room indeed. But how was he here and not falling it to the void? Maybe this was just his dream, and he actually was still falling and falling. Dreamur sighed, he was very traumatized. He sat up and stayed there, with his hooves dangling over the edge. He didn’t have to worry about getting hurt falling off of the chair, for It wasn’t built that high up. What had he heard? Some kind of weird dream he assumed.

He decided to stand up, and try to open the doors, but before that, a pink pony with curly hair, burst through the doors, and bounded into the room.

“Hello there new pony!” she exclaimed with a wide smile on her face, “I’ve been waiting for you to wake up for quite a while now, and I’m so glad your finally conscious. Now if you follow me, we can begin the tour!”

Dreamur tried to say something, but he was still recovering from the shock the pony had given him when she had unexpectedly startled him. The pink colored pony grabbed his hoof, and pulled him through the doors. The sun blinded him at first, but as his eyes adjusted, he gazed in amazement as he took in his surroundings.

“Wow,” he mouthed to himself.

He was in a beautiful courtyard, with luscious plants of all variations. There were sunflowers, poppies, and much more. The trees ranged from Apple trees, to Orange trees, and to even trees that Dreamur had never seen before! And the sun, the sun made it just perfect. He stepped forward, and noticed a fountain in the middle, with the sun reflecting off of it. It spurred water up of a fish mouth on the top. Stepping past it, he reached the border of the area, to realize that it was fenced of by a marble fence.

Peering over the edge, Dreamur saw nothing but sky. It went down forever he supposed. It was interesting to see clouds above and below him. The wind felt nice on his face and mane too. He could stay here all day. But the other pony had different plans.

“Common!” The pink pony whined,” I’ve been waiting all day, and I can’t wait any longer, just for you to stare out at the void. The void will be there later, follow me first.”

Reluctantly, Dreamur follow her off of the patio, and into two other doors leading to another building. It was right next to the building that he had woken up in. It lead to a gigantic room that looked like a museum. The roofs were extremely high, and the wall extended for a long way.

Dreamur stopped walking.

“Wait, before I follow you anywhere else, I just have a few questions.”

The pink pony replied, ”Well, I could but if we reach the informatory section of this museum, it would be much easier to explain everything. It is just right up there. There are many diagrams and pictures there, so everything will make better sense.”

“Who are you anyways?”

“Well, I am Pinkie Pie, the Curator of this museum. Before you ask what kind of museum this is, I will just tell you. It is a museum dedicated on teaching new ponies how to survive. Oh nice, we’re here! Let’s start now then. So, every so often, a pony appears out of nowhere on an island in a random spot in the world. We don’t know why, but it just happens.

We know about this because of our enderscope. It is an amazing invention, that allows us to sense when a new island is spawned with a pony. After many years, we’ve documented all 20 island variations, and programmed the enderscope to track when those builds appear instantly. Before it was made, we don’t know how many ponies must have died out there all alone. Of course, they could have survived by gathering materials from nearby islands. There are so many randomly generated islands that ponies don’t spawn on, that we are still discovering more of them!
1st

Now you see, we teleported you here using the same technology that the enderscope uses. Using ender power, we can teleport ponies to our museum, by concentrating the enderport device on the ender particles in your body. You see, in every ponies body, there is a small amount of ender particles. The enderport, which tracks on to those, can pull the particles with its host to it. Normally it takes from 20 to 30 minutes for it to get a hold of all of the particles, but it got all of your in a record of 5 minutes! Good thing too, because once anything falls in to the unreachable zone, they are almost certainly gone forever. They will fall until they starve to death. If you touched the other island, the teleportation progress would have restarted because if the target moves a certain amount of blocks, the enderport can’t “see” it anymore. Any other questions?”

Dreamur was speechless. That was a lot of information to take in all at once.

“No questions? “ Pinkie Pie asked, “oh well, might about talk about the history of our sky city.”

As they continued to trot through the lengthy room, Dreamur looked around at the interesting items on display, there was a dirt block labeled first dirt block spawned in this world. He wondered how they would know that. There were also things like replicas of all the kinds of spawn islands, and other islands too. He looked at them, and found the one that’ll spawned on. It was called “Chest of Fate”. He wanted to examine it in more detail but he could do that later, so he speed up and continued to trot alongside to Ms.Pinkie.

In the beginning, a pony named Blorckits was spawned on the survival island. That was the one with the wooden chest with things to survive. If any pony was careful, the island would be able to self sustain itself forever. Blorckits worked hard, and began to explore. Just like every other pony after him, he didn’t have any memories from his past. Slowly but surely, the pony expanded his island using his cobble stone generator, which he had build with the items in the chest. A precise source of lava and water would create a unlimited supply of cobble stone. The pony finally mustered up enough courage to explore other islands. Overtime, he discovered other ponies that has spawned in like himself. He felt obligated to help them, for himself being the veteran, and began to bring the ponies back to his base. Eventually the base grew and grew into a town, then a city. That is where we are right now! They collected and crafted advanced technology, such as the teleporter that saves so many lives. The history of our city is so amazing, and I’ll be sure to help you learn all about it during your stay!”

“Umm, yeah sure, sound fun.”

“Alright then, but first let’s go to the other pony we rescued. Normally most ponies wake much after you did, because the teleportation drains their energy. The body naturally regenerates more ender particles, so it’s okay. There are no lasting effects. Oh yeah, and the island you spawned is called “Chest of Fate”! I’m sure you were wondering about it, after you saw it in the glass casing. It’s super rare, and the item inside the chest is determined by the pony.”

Pinkie Pie told Dreamur to take a right turn, and they entered a hallway. There were two doors at the end, and He realized that it looked like the ones he had came through in the beginning.

“Are these the ones I came through earlier?”

“Oh no, the doors and patio look the same, but there is a different patient in the room at the end.”

They pushed past the doors, and to the patio. Dreamur started for a couple seconds, until he was ushered away by Pinkie Pie.

“Alright, let’s go see who the other pony is then,” Dreamur said. ‘Can’t wait to meet another pony!

They pushed past the second pair of doors, and entered the room. Dreamur immediately noticed that the pony was a mare. She was a unicorn pony like him, and her fur was pure white, unlike his which was light brown. She was laying down on a chair that looked like the one that he woke in, and the room looked the same too.

As they walked towards the mare, the jolted awake, and shot up. Her eyes widened in fear.

“Who are you ponies,” she asked uncertainly.

“Don’t worry,” Pinkie Pie assured, We’re here to help you. I’m Pinkie Pie, and this is Dreamur”

She looked over at him.

“Hello,” she replied sheepishly.

“Hi

“Well then,” Pinkie Pie said, “ you both must be ravished, so we have food in the kitchen if you’ll just follow me.”

At the promise of food, the two ponies followed Pinkie Pie through the museum to the kitchen. It took some time, because the white mare stoped to observe her surroundings more than once. Dreamur understood, that’s what he had done when he passed through it. The kitchen was through an administrative door, and was not small. Pinkie Pie told them that they could grab a bag of oats and milk for themselves and sit down to eat them. Dreamur chose plain oats, and grabbed them and sat down, and the mare choose the same.

“Hey, what’s your name?” Dreamur questioned.

She looked up from her bowl, and replied, “ Powder.”

“Hmm, that’s a cool name, I’m Dreamur.” He reached his hoof out to shake hers.

She took it, and gave him a firm shake.

Pinkie Pie had just returned from getting her confetii flavored oats, and said, “aw, isn’t that nice, making friends already? Now we can all be friends! The more the merrier!”

Dreamur and Powder smiled, Pinkie was just so energetic.

They listened to Pinkie talk about how much she loved friendship, until Dreamur decided to talk about the situation.

“So, what kind of island were you on?”

“Huh?” Powder questioned.

“Well, you know the island that you woke up on, what was there? I was on a small island with only a chest with an enderpearl. It was a pretty tough spawn.”

After a sigh, she replied,” well, I was on a small island like yours, and there was a chest on it with food and more materials that I didn’t touch. I just layer down on the floor and ate my food, until I blacked out and woke up on another island, although this one is much bigger than the other. It’s just so weird how it floats with out any supports.”

“I know right?”

“Wait, Dreamur asked, “did you forget all of your memories too?”

“Yesh, I was so confused!”

Dreamur smiled. He already felt closer to this stranger, just because of the experiences and similarities that they shared. He had almost forgotten that Pinkie Pie was there, until she dropped her bowl in to the sink, with a loud clatter.

“Alrighty!” Pinkie Pie exclaimed, “it’s time for us to go on to something important that both of you have to do.”

Dreamur got up and pushed back his chair, then levitated his and powders empty bowls into the sink. They followed Pinkie out the “Authorized Personnel” doors, and walked to the front of the museum.
