Think carefully about what happened back then. Come on, brain! Time to get to work. How did she open the door? Try to recall what she used. There has to be something I'm missing here. You memorized all those details in anatomy books. You can recall some steps to open up a door. An untouchable door, but a door nonetheless.

I tried my best to recall the events that took place before she left. This might sound crazy, but in my living room, there is a door that doesn't lead anywhere. This door wasn't always there. It was a recent addition, something my last guest left behind four days ago when she suddenly wandered through it and disappeared. She went back home. I'm glad she made it back, don't get me wrong.

But.

She, she left something behind. And based on what she said to me, it is something important. A pendant shaped like a moon, and with a small sapphire attached to it. The chain seemed to be made out of silver too.

"This was a gift from my sister. We made one for each other. It was a promise that we would always have each other's back. That we would always be together."

Those words reverberated in my mind as I held the pendant in my hands. That small piece of metal represented a bond between two sisters. Family is something you don't mess around with. Losing this pendant could make them fall apart, or maybe even fight for a long time.

That's why I had to remember. That is why I had to open that door. That's why I.

(Four days ago)

"Chalk?" I asked with a glass of water in my hand. "Why do you need chalk?"

"I need to draw a magic circle. I have enough power to make the trip back," She replied while making a piece of toast float up to her mouth. "I also need two candles," I nearly choked when I heard that.

"Please, don't say that you need the blood of a cow or something like that," My response caused her to choke on the toast. I ended up having to rub her back while she tried to contain her laughter.

"I'm not going to summon a demon. You can relax. The circle will have some of my kind's writing on it and no shapes. The wax from the candles will make the door appear," She explained after regaining her composure.

"Thank god! I was afraid you're were gonna ask for the blood of a virgin too. I'm pretty attached to my blood, you know?" I replied making her snort again. It was hard to believe, but I was speaking to a hor-pony. I was talking to a magical pony with wings and a horn. She had a white coat and a pink mane that were too silky and soft to be real.

Her name was Celestia. Her title was Princess Celestia, daughter of the Sun. She was the elder sister of Princess Luna, daughter of the Moon. Their mother was called Queen Faust, Ruler of the Ancient Scriptures. According to Celestia, Faust was the first pony to ascend to the status of Alicorn, which also happens to be Celestia's species.

After that sad excuse for breakfast, I went to the store and got myself a box of candles and chalk. Celestia forgot to mention color or any specification for that matter, so I ended up with two boxes for each. When I got back, I found Celestia placing a few pages side by side within a closed space.

"What are those?" I asked while placing the boxes near her. She let out an eep before turning to me with a glare. "My car makes plenty of noise. It's not my fault that you ignore what's happening around you when you're making magic."

Pouting at my remark, Celestia looked at the boxes before turning back to me. "Why are there two?"

"You forgot to mention if they had to be a specific color. Therefore, I picked one of the regular and one of the colored ones for each," I replied while petting her head. "Can't afford to make mistakes now, can we?"

Blushing at the gesture, Celestia looked away while pulling the white chalk to her. "This will do fine. And are you sure?"

"Yep. I have things to take care of here. The people here need to get their pay, and I need to be here to see how the animals and other things are being handled," I replied with a half-smile. The offer she spoke of was the opportunity to go back with her to Equos, her world.

This is going to be weird to explain, but after I spent some time sheltering her. Something happened between us. Not that kind of weird, I was not about to do it with a pony. It's like, how should I put it? We were trying to figure out a way to get closer. And when Celestia started with the talk of getting back home, she offered me to go back. Needless to say that, both of us were still confused as to how to deal with this situation.

In the end, we decided it would be best for us to go our separate ways.

"I'll get started," Celestia said with a sad voice. I swear I saw her hold back some tears while I kept a poker face with a waterfall coming out of my eyes. Yep, I am a crybaby.

While Celestia prepared her way back, I rushed to my room and got a package that I had requested about a month ago. It ended up being a bit more expensive than I thought, but it was beautiful. A golden necklace with a purple gem attached to it, my last gift to her before she went away. Running back to the living room, I found Celestia standing with a box of matches floating by her side.

"Everything is set," She said with her eyes turning red. I pulled out my phone and then handed her the necklace. "W-what is this?" She asked while dropping the matchbox.

"I wanted to give you something before you went away," I said while placing the necklace on her. "There, a perfect fit. Do you mind if we take a picture before you go? Of you, the circle and us?"

(Back to present)

Facepalming at my stupidity, I ran to my phone to check the photo gallery.

How did I forget about this? HOW?! For the love of, FINE! THIS IS F-I-N-E! I mused as the memory of the same night Celestia left came to me. Oh, yeah. I cried so hard I went unconscious. SUE ME FOR CRYING!

It was easy enough to find the pictures, drawing them on the other hand, that was going to be a doozy. In my stupidity, I took several pictures instead of trying to capture the entire circle. Meaning I had no idea where the letters were supposed to start. I am no magician, nothing close to it. But even a poor ignorant soul like me knows that magic can be finicky. And I'm not a big fan of having my body turned into jam, or ending up with my face on my feet, or some other hideous magical mishap.

Strangely enough, I am very attached to my life. Save for a few occasions, where it seems that my recklessness is equal to the idiocy level of fighting a dinosaur with just my fists.

Switching to the last picture of the gallery, I saw a familiar scene. It was a picture of both me and Celestia smiling on my couch. The necklace looked good on her. It was kinda hard to make it look like the one in the show. But she was really happy about it. The thought of her crying for any reason made me clench the pendant hard. I ran towards the box of chalk, re-did the entire circle, then looking at the pictures on my phone, and made the writings as best as I could.

Ok. I'm doing something stupid. And I am going to regret this eventually. However, I will at least get some supplies before lighting the candles. A backpack, a sleeping bag, food, a compass, a flint, and maybe a carving knife should do the trick. Can't risk carrying too much on me.

After concluding that, I went to my room and packed the things I believed would aid in my survival. I placed the pendant around my neck before heading back to the living room. I could see the door more clearly now. Reaching for the candle box, I picked up two candles before getting myself a matchbox. Placing the candles at the base of the door frame, I lit up the candles.

The wax from the candle suddenly moved on its own as it filled the frame. Watching with the same level of awe as the first time I saw it, I waited for the ritual's end. Taking about half an hour, the door was complete. I took a deep breath before touching the handle. The metal felt real.

That's it, I am going to make a jump to another world to deliver a small pendant. I have to be the most insane person on earth.

Twisting the knob, I pushed the door open before rushing inside. Or, that's how it should have been. Instead of walking out the door like Celestia, I stepped into air and fell.

And fell.

And continued falling for about an hour or so. Being blinded by the lights, I shut my eyes as my body violently shook through the air. I believe it's clear that I was screaming like a baby. I will not deny it. I was in total panic mode as I tried to make sense of my situation. But, of course, I was not going to have things go my way. Before I could make sense of my bearing, I slammed the ground hard with my face.

Opening my eyes, I saw a familiar sight. An old ruin, surrounded by forest as far as the eye could see.

Author's Note

OK!

Let's make this thing work. I have no idea as to what I am doing. Nor do I plan to know what I'm doing. I'm as lost as it gets. How about you get lost with me?
