Surviving in the castle

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

I wake up but i keep my eyes closed.

Please please please,that everything has been a dream, now i wake up, go to the kitchen,eat some fruit and go to take a walk in the horta.I open my eyes, but is not a dream, all is real, i'm still in a castle in a forest in another world and i'm a weird alien horse.

I clean my eyes and take a long breath.If i'm gonna stay here for long, i need food, water and a proper bed,later, when my immediate life is not in danger, i go to explore the castle.

The water was easy, near the entrance of the castle are a current stream of water.I was thinking of purify the water but without hands it's very complicated building a simple filter.

I lower my head and take a sip, is fresh and good, maybe later i can take a little bath.Meanwhile i was coming back to the castle i observe something, parts of the castle are far from the estructure, like something or someone desplace the ruins.This is from a explosion, the interior part is burned, maybe the powder keg of the castle exploded and that is the reason of the abandonment.The pain in my stomach it brings me back to reality.

Now, i need food and its a problem because one, i don't know what aliments this new body can digest and i don't know what is edible in this world. Technically i'm a sorta a equine, i always can eat grass, and the surroundings of the castle are full of that plant.I take a bit and, for my surprise, it's not that bad, stills grass, but it's not worse than the Polish food I ate one day with my brother.
"Marc…"i shake my head, now it's not time for being homesick, i need to be focused in the immediate problems .

The time pases meanwhile i collect branches and leafs for a little bed, very pleased that for some reason the transformation/body change that happen to me cure my back pains, and the high noon arribes, and something happens, the sound of explosions and trees breaking.Im scared.

"I think this is the best time to explore the castle-"And i run at the interior of the ruins.

"It's dark in here and i dont have fire, perfect " i said, and the echoes of the long corridor repeat my words.I walk for a minute and i arrive a what it's seems a armory.The place is empty of weapons or armor, only some furniture and horse shape stands for helmets, all covered in dust.I was going to leave the room but I saw something with the corner of my eye,
a sword guard hand his harness.

The guard is blue whit the symbol of a crescent moon and a sun, and the handle are covert in leather, seems adapted to handle the sword with the mouth.I approach to the sword and unseathe it . It's, it's,full of oxid, but it's suits me in this situation .Pin me the harness took a time, without hans all is more difficult but i begin to understand more how to use the hoffs.

Now , armed i feel a little less threatened and continue my exploration. After climbing some stairs i arrive to a salon and my suspicions seems to be correct, a explosion destroy the ceiling and blow up part of the ...trons?

In the end of the tron room are 2 trons, one made of white stone with rests of golden, and the other make of type of dark blue stone.The white one have one sun and the other, a very damaged moon, like the symbols in my rusty sword. But the more weird thing is a stone and metal structure in the center of the room.

"Seems like a weird representation of a solar system, but what is this?"In each of the 6 strange spheres that make up the structure there was a gap, a gap with a different shape form each .One seems a butterfly, other a thunder, an apple , a fish i think, a diamond and the biggest a star.

"This is strange, i understand the trons, one for the sun ruler and another for the moon ruler but this structure it's really weird"The sun began to set in the hole in the ceiling and i start to go to my little base in the entrance off the castle with more questions than answers. At least now i have a weapon and i can defend myself from...what.I heard something, voices, i'm not alone and to anyone's surprise, i'm scared.

I hide in the shadows, trying to see the newcomers and when i see they, i don't know if i am surprised or relieved. They are 6 ponies , multicolored and talking to each other.Wow, it's seems that i'm not a weirdo in this planet.

"Ok girls ,here ends the magic track"says the bigger pony, a purple unicorn with wings and a weird tattoo in his back .This is weirder every moment that passes.

"Thank Celestia, my hooves are full of mud"says a unicorn with a white fur, an extremely combed purple hair and tail and a very “wealthy” voice .

"What in tarnation is that?2 Says a orange pony with a cowboy hat and a extremely strong country american accent.

"I think is a bed, perfect, im need a nap"A blue gay parade pegasus says and in fly extremely fast to MY bed.

"Girls i think we maybe be fast, this place stills scare me"another pegasus says in a low voice, this have pink long hair and a yellow fur.

All of the ponies have a weird tattoo is his butts, and all seems very familiar to me whait,where is the last pony?

"Hello,who are you?I'm Pinkie Pie and i like parties you like parties? Let's have a partie right now with my best friends and my new friend wow is that a beard, it's like Sunburst and a sword pretty i can have it?

"AAAAAAAAAA"Behind me a pink pony shots me with an avalanche off words.

How did it appear behind me?

"Hey Pinkie, you found somepony?"says the purple one

" Yes Twilight , a new pony friend!"

"STAY BACK"I say unsheathing my sword" I ' M ARMED "

"Calm down stranger, we don't want to hurt you"says with a diplomatic voice the cowgirl

"It's true, we are here in a rescue mission and i think you are the one we were looking for"

"W what you want, who are you?" Im shaking, the stress and the fatigue accumulated in the last days are tearing apart and now , a confrontation 1 vs 6, i started to cry.The sword fall to the floor

"I'm the Princes Twilight Sparkle and there mares here are my friends, where here to find you."

"Im AppleJack, you are safe now sugarcube "calm-says the orange mare

"My name is Rarity darling ,i have a blanket here if you needed " The white one brings to me floating a exuberant blanket, wait, floating?

"Hey dude, you make this bed, is very comfy, and i'm Rainbow Dash by the way"The rainbow hair pony says without opening her eyes

"I'm Fluttershy"the yellow one says in a very very low voice, behind Twilight .

"And i'm PINKIE PIE"The pink fluffy tornado scream and shotts a confetti cannon.

"What, Where did you get that from?"i said more calm now, and more confused .ç

"Dont ask, is better for all"nod AppleJack"And what's it's your name partner?"

Oh shit,this is a problem

"Im, um...i don't...remember my name.."i say, looking sad to the ground.

"Oh, that is terrible darling!"exclaims Rarity.

"How you ended here, in the ruins of the castle of the Two Sisters in the middle of the Everfree forest?"question Rainbow Dash, now focused in the conversation.

"I don't know either"i start to cry again , perfect, 19 fuckin years and im crying like a lost baby.

"Atleast you remember where you come from? Your home and family and that"Fluttershy ask me, with a worried voice ,I cry harder

"Yea, sigh, and i want to go back"I break, i made a ball in the floor and cover me with the blanket.

"Wow, this guy it seemed to me a rough stallion with that cool beard and the sword but it's a crybaby!"say surprised the blue pegasi.

"RAINBOW!"the rest of the ponies scream at her with angry faces .

"What? it's true"

"Remember your first winter without Tank?You cried the same or more for a much smaller thing"say Rarity with sass.

"Hey! that is a low blow"reply Rainbow Dash

The two mares start argue,and the pink one approach me

"You want a cupcake? You seems hungry " I left the blanket and stood up, drying my tears.
-Thank you, i'm very angry, I've been 2 days eating grass and taste very bad, jeje"and i devoured the cupcake"It's delicious! and sorry for my...manners, it's been a very roughs days and i'm not very well ."

"No problem, it's understandable in your hard situation ehhh... What do you want me to call you?"politely ask Fluttershy

"Mmmm, call me"im dont believe im doing this"Mercury Phantom, it's a nickname I used when i played CoD when i was a child "I know it's weird, but come on, this girls have weider names"

"What is CoD?" ask Twilight with a sparkle in her eyes.

"It's a videogame"

"A game?!" exclaimed Pinkie"I love games! but what is a video part of the game? What is a video?

"What, you don't know what is a video game?"

"No, we don't have that in Equestria"all said.

Fuck, i'm in the worse world in the universe.

"Where you from exactly?"Twilight say

2Well. it's complicated, and i think you don't believe me."

"Are you from another world when you are not a pony and the ponies are there are domestic animals and you are inexplicable transported here and you are lost here with a new body dont remembering your name but still remembering the others thinks like your Twitter password ?"

All shut up and stare Pinkie,my mouth is extremely opened.

"Yes, this is…. em basically all,how the fucking fuck do you know all that?"

"Meh, Pinkysense-say the mare"

"Stop here, you from another world?" exclaimed AppleJack.

"Yea, i think"

" And you are not a pony?"ask Rarity

"No,im a human"

"Whait, a human? that creatures with fingers , bipedal locomotion and always wear clothes?" ask emotionally Twilight , bouncing for the emotion.

"Yes !" i cried.

"Mercury, i think i can bring you home
