Horacio's survival to Equestria
Starting the inopportune journey
Load Full StoryNext Chapter“Arrrg, sooo bored” I grunted in my bed, it was two days before my birthday, turning 18. I honestly don’t care the enough to plan a party, not even in a reunion. Gladly, my family already did a plan, and they do pretty good parties. My bedroom was relatively simple, a bed ( where i was whining at the moment), a small desk for my homework, aside was a small TV. The walls were white, and the floor a midnight black, my favorite combination of colors. I sat on my bed and from my side, I brought a backpack where my laptop was in, took it, turned it on, and saw if there were updates on the fics i am reading.
Sadly, there were not, I brought up some games and went that way until midday. I turned it off and went to a walk at the park, gladly, walking is one of the few things that pulls me out of the boredom. After a few laps around the public place, I went straight to home. It was like 7 o'clock pm or something like that, I didn’t have a watch.
There, at the front of my house, a two-story building with a metal fence, big backyard, white painting, gosh I love white too much. I moved from my parents house a month ago, the decision of me going wasn’t theirs, was mine. I stepped inside, and went to the restroom downstairs. I looked at the mirror, a slightly tanned skin, unbrushed, dark brown hair, eyebrows and eyes of the same color, a white and black shirt, the black only covering the upper arms, and pants with the same pattern, and shoes with the same colors -damn I love them- black on the unershoe and on the tip.
Then, a sudden headache appears, “ARGH”, I shouted, I did long breaths to ease the pain, total success. After washing my face to ease the pain even more, I went upstairs. My laptop was not where I left it, it was slightly hidden under my bed. With the most confused face I have ever had in my life, I crouched to grab it.
A small blast, like a bubble paper being popped was heard behind me, I left my computer inside the backpack and went to see what happened.
I was so shocked, a portal was open before my eyes. At the other side, I saw an unusually green valley, but if the shock of the portal itself wasn’t enough, i recognized where it was going to... EQUESTRIA. I couldn’t move a muscle, I was slack-jawed, and having a big fangasm. What was left was that I squee’d because of it! But the happiness was over when the portal started to suck like a black hole, bringing me and my computer into it.
Trans-dimensional travel is no fun, really, when it touched the portal, I blacked out in pain, every neutron, proton, and electron of my body being violently ripped of me and put back in another place. Like before, no. Fun.
Before being completely unconscious, I heard voices, familiar voices. Able to see a little, I saw three bumps heading my way. I knew what will happen, and I didn’t like it. And with golden ribbon to close this, I passed out.
I woke up on what looked like a bed made out of hay. I moved around, I was not tied up. Looking at my surroundings, it was the place I expected, the barn at Sweet Apple Acres. What a cliche. I thought as getting up. I went quietly to the doors. Looking through a small hole in the big red doors I saw another cliche, the mane six with Princess Celestia and Luna. That last thing made it less cliched. At the corner of my eye were wooden boards. I leaned back quietly, the less attention, the better, and my brain clicked. Okay, exit has a barricade, the princesses and the Elements of Harmony are on the other side, and on top of all, who knows what they’ll do to me. Yep, I. Am. Fucked. the thought was sadly true. I had like a habit to think ahead of time, most times, greatly it happened now. I will just be nice, not doing anything that could annoy and/or make them punish me. There are three ways on how Equestria knows about humans. One: they don’t know a shit, two: know us as a myth, or three: they terminated us in the events of the past generations of the show. They’d be more guarded depending on the case, being the third the highest fully knowing what I am capable of.
A click snapped me from my thoughts looking back, an energy blast caught me, electrifying me, like a tazer. My instincts made me fight the current, and... I succeeded, standing up at full height. I threw my arms up in the air and shouted, “Don’t hurt me, I haven’t done anything bad. I surrender, I am going to lay down on the ground, but please DON’T hurt me”, I laid on the ground, upside-down, and waited for anything.
Surprisingly, I got levitated from the ground and made me stood up, I gently turned my head.
The ponies I named earlier had faces of shock, except of Celestia with her trademark poker face. "Uh, hello?"
“S-so” Fluttershy spoke, weird I know right? “y-you are n-not going t-to harm us.” I felt bad, surely she was almost at the blink of dead by a heart failure. I sighed and said i the most comforting voice possible “You’re right, I will not harm you. Ahm, I am sure a backpack came with me, can I see it?”
Celestia motioned Twilight to go outside with her, they’re talking for a full minute (felt like it) and returned with my backpack, handling it to me with magic. “Thank you” I grabbed the bag and inspected its contents, everything like I left it, just my laptop, a pair of headphones and the laptop's charger. I put the bag on, and something hit my head, metaphorically, “Ups, sorry, I haven’t introduced myself, my name’s Horacio, nice to meet you!” I held a hand up as a sign to shake it, Pinkie Pie, as always, appeared out of nowhere and shook it rapidly, and the grip itself hurt!
“Hi, I am Pinkie Pie” No way, I thought, “and this are my friends Applejack, Rarity, Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash!” she said motioning her hoof to each one of them as their names were said “These are Princess Celestia and Luna!” motioning to the respective ponies.
“Charmed” I said, bowing as a way of respect.
“Oh please don’t do that.” Celestia said. Everypony except me saw her with the same shocked expression “What? It gets boring when you see that every single day!” she gave a chuckle.
“Uhu, ah okay, now that introductions are done, what else is left to do?” I said clapping my hands. Twilight stepped out, trembling a lot Shit, I gave a big scare to them. “C-can I ask you some questions?” her voice filled with curiosity and fear. I crouched to her eye level and said with a voice so kind Fluttershy could be jealous “Sure! What do you want to know?”
“Well,” said the unicorn “for starters, what are you?”
“A human” Horacio stated flatly.

Okay! that concludes the first chapter, here goes your options for the start of the tree:
Topic: Equestria’s general knowledge of the humans
a) They know nothing, making it easy to leave a good first impression (more curious than guarded) (+10 relation)
b) As a myth, they know little, but sadly only heard the bad part, more difficult to leave a good impression (evenly guarded and curious) (nothing)
c) They know of the humans and their violence, an exiled (genocide)the human race from Equestria. The hardest to start if you want to befriend them (downright hostile) (-10 relation)
Tell me down there in the comments which ‘branch’ is this following!
Until next time.
