This Is Very Accursed

Good...grief...what has happened?
My eyelids part, allowing me to awaken from my previous slumber. As my eyes adjust to the world around me, I notice that the very colors that is, would be a mere green, black and brown.
It does indeed appear like my location would be in a forest of some sort. I can as of this moment feel it practically...'sparkling' with the magnificent absence of any major magic.
Then this cannot be the Forest of Magic...peculiar, considering the fact I never went to any other major forest, and I do always live near that forest.
Oh, I know. Stupid...
I sit up, suddenly noticing something is wonderfully amiss, and frustratingly enough unable to recognize exactly what. Standing up, the ground seem closer, as if my height had decreased by a major amount, hence the fact a nearby tree appeared to be ten, rather than six times taller than me, like it usually would.
My surroundings uncanny, I swiftly spot a pond in the vicinity.
"What...in Makai....?"
In the stead of my usual visage is a rather equine-looking one, something I only succeed in declaring thankfully for my somewhat double conscious.
Could it be...
Looking down on myself, my thoughts is very much confirmed as I do in fact have FUR.
"What...in the world?! Where in TENBATSU am I now?! You Gap Hag! Where ever have you decided to gap me NOW?"
Walking in circles, I do not fail in noticing my rant to be is causing me to walk like an animal.
"Noroi...."
Holding my hands, erm, hooves on my head, I begin attempting to find some peace in myself.
"Noroi,NOroi, NOROI! What in TENBATSU have you thought out THIS time, you accursed Gap Hag?"
...otherwise known as exclaiming in a high volume.
Circling around, I notice some small animals running in various ways to shelter. I find it suddenly clear that the Forest is very dark, and I can barely see the trees in the distance.
"My, am I observant...
It's not like I am very vulnerable...or am I?"
Swiftly, I notice I was still having my small bag where I contained money, various food, some memoirs, and of course, my Spell Cards. Not that I needed them available.
Looking inside, I find that everything is indeed fortunately still here.
"Excellent. Well, now I just need to figure out something. Noroi. Does she not realize that tampering with another world could be fatal? I already tampered with Gensokyo, so if you would send me somewhere, send me to the Outside World or something, it is a world I am familiar with! Gap Hag! Gap Hag! Gap Hag! Send me back this instant!"
Silence is the answer.
"Okay, I apologize, I was merely ranting. Could you ever be so kind as to return me to Gensokyo?
Utter silence once again.
"Noroi...she is either offended, or I might be terribly incorrect on my assumption for the one at fault...but does that mean..."
A roar erupts behind me, though I pay it no heed as a terrible thought comes to me.
"No...that cannot be...?"
Turning around, I am met by a big creature which I could easily identify as a Manticore.
"...an Incident?"

The Manticore roars at me, in such a way it by no doubt would have terrified normal huma- creatures.
However, I am not a normal creature.
Walking back a few steps, I jump up in the air, and remain.
"You would think you could feast on me, would you not?"
Producing some Danmaku, I throw some of them in the direction of its behind.
"Select something easier the next time."
The Manticore screams in agony, before running in the opposite direction as fast as its legs could take it.
Phew, it is truly reassuring that my magic is still present...
Shooting a glance toward the pond, I notice my bag nearby. Quickly treading it over my back, I find that it is not particularly harder to bear it than when I was a human.
Looking in the direction opposite of where the Manticore ran, I notice some light in the distance.
I should probably find some ci-"
My increased hearing allow me to notice walking in the distance.
By instinct, I release a cloud of Danmaku toward the intruder, which much to my chagrin causes a shrill scream of surprise, and finally in one of terror, one which gradually fades as the unfortuante soul flees.
...
...
...
"Noroi."
I did it again. I most likely hit a villager, most probably a child walking here. What a marvelous start! Noroi, I HAVE to find a way to lose that habit! This is not Gensokyo anymore.
Okay, so before I go, I need to search my mind for any valuable information I could perhaps have of this place. I have to remember I originally come from the Outside World. This means I could know something about this world.
...I do suppose living this way has made me almost forget my origins.
Well, let us see if I can recall something...
...
I fail to recall anything, much to my frustration.


Perhaps I should introduce myself, in case I have any Dimensional Audience, or if I happen to be at the brink of amnesia.
I am known as Risanderu no Tenko.
It is Japanese, and its meaning refers to Heaven. Translated, I would be Risanderu, "The Child of Heaven", Ten meaning Heaven, and Ko, meaning child. 'No' is a word that means either 'of' or 'the'
I was formerly known as an ordinary human child, from a world, much like ours- ahaha, I jest. It is ours.
I was not the average child. I was mature for my age, if not feminine. Whenever I would stroll or simply be present at school, those who did not know me might have attempted to ask me out on a date.
I held a fiery passion for the literary, consuming books at a rapid rate, something I inherited from Father...I miss him.
I was a passionate gamer as well, I loved video games to the point of simulation. Which brings me to when my life was shattered, for so to piece back together into a beautiful picture-excuse me, I tend to ramble.
While playing my favorite game, Touhou Kaeidzuka~ Phantasmagoria of Flower View, the final boss of the game suddenly acted strange. I found myself dodging thousands of ingame bullets, the cursed AI destroying my character.
As I cried out in rage, in the belief a wretched soul had hacked into my dearest computer simply to enjoy the vile pleasure of shattering the dreams of a frustrated gamer, I heard a voice. And then, I fell into darkness.
I awakened to find myself inside the word of my dreams: Gensokyo, where my favorite franchise, "Touhou Project" took place.
When my senses returned to me, I had apparently fought the Yama and the Hakurei Shrine Maiden while unconscious, a murderous Kirisame Marisa attempting to Master Spark me.
It did not take long until I realized I had suddenly developed the power of Danmaku,something I had dreamed of ever since my like towards the franchise became an unhealthy obsession.
It was then, between my adventures with Team Nine-ball, my caretaking in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, the befriending of several of the magnificent characters, and the beautiful Danmaku that I came to know a terrible secret that I had unfortunately been the victim of.
I had died. When I was summoned through to this land, SOMETHING hindered my safe journey, and as soon as I entered, I would embrace death.
However, an angel, a beautiful being known as Aria saved me in secret, granting me near omnipotent powers over light and darkness and desire, but also the responsibility over The Balance. Fun fact, I appear to be a child, but I have existed for over a century. Note how I stated that I had 'existed', rather than 'lived'? That is because I unconsciously rested in a dimensional waste bucket of some kind where time passed ridiculously swiftly. I look good for my years, do I not?
Jokes aside, I would then be a very important part of Gensokyo, guiding lost souls, or giving them a taste of the punishment they would receive in Hell, should they deserve it.
And...it was then I learned that my death had no impact on the Outside World. My existence was absent, and any memories of me was cleared from their minds.
It was then I realized that the dream I had, held a price, a price that I unintentionally had to pay.


I shake my head, the memories bringing me to pain.
"That would be enough for now."
Impatiently, I simply take flight towards the light in the distance.

Flying for a short while, I arrive outside the forest, near a cottage. Sneaking around it, I manage to not be spotted.
As I walk, I notice that, indeed, everything was very much taller.
"I do not really know whether it is because of my size or because I am currently walking on four legs like an animal."
Proceeding, I spot none in the vicinity.
In the distance, I see a large sign baring the letters: 'Ponyville'
Where have I-
"Hiiiiiiii!"
The town appears to be full of strange equine-like creatures, much similar to the body I am currently occupying. A phantasmagoria of colors and shapes, practically.
"I have never seen you before...um, hello?"
Is there someone talking to-
As my mind adjust from the town to my surroundings, I notice a pink visage in my own.
"Noroiiiiii!"
This...is she Rumia or what?
I-I could feel my legs taking to the air! Noroi, refrain from giving me a heart attack like that!!
My little 'curses' cause some of the creatures to look in my direction, however, as my breath still, for whatever reason they could have, they return to whatever they were doing instantaneously.
Breathing heavily, still on my back, I look toward whoever decided to simply pop up in such a fashion.
As my vision adjust, my mind at last is able to recall where I am.
...
I am in the land of Equestria.
...
...
...
TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNBATSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
