Mogget: Human in Disguise.
Load Full StoryNext ChapterMogget’s Chapter: The Human in Disguise.
The metamorphose state of a humans transition to becoming an extra-terrestrial being is one which consists of catastrophic ramifications. The anatomy of one’s body becomes disrupted by the change in balance, as flesh and marrow become unparalleled within the void of corruption. The complete structure, form and entity as a whole becomes disfigured beyond understanding, and as your senses heighten, both pain and euphoria are simultaneously experienced.
Mogget, the second transcendent being amongst our order of friends had the opportunity to encounter such a feeling. Within the red void, he felt his form being tugged and torn from every comprehendible angle. Reality stood before him moments ago, but now he stared straight into the face of nothingness. Face elongating, hands clotting up and fingers shriveling in; his entirety became one with that of a Pegasus. Wings of light sprouted from his back and his hair formed that of a mane. The apparel that once existed, now long de-fabricated into the non-material existence left the young male stark and bare. His pale white skin suddenly became the threshold of a grey coats existence, the fibres of hair now covering both body and face. Mogget had then finalised his transformation into Pony-hood. A less than graceful descent followed, the newly borne Pegasus had landed on solid space and what used to be an empty paradox had now become a vibrant critter filled garden.
Mogget’s senses came to be, the sun beaming down on his cool grey coat and a warm summer breeze which mingled through every strand of mane. The Pegasus lay quietly dazed on a patch of moistened soil, flowers swaying from side to side brushing gently against his wing. It tickled quite a bit. There was nothing unnatural about his presence in Equestria, an excitement stirring within his soul, his body and mind rejoicing as if it had returned home.
The breeze settled and Mogget rose to all fours. Panning his head from left to right, he remembered quite clearly the location he had unexpectedly entered. Fluttershy’s garden... A timid squeal arose to his flank, and upon turning he found a young mare concealing herself behind a few blades of tall grass. A mused look turned to one of sheer amusement.
“Wh-.. who are you?!” The butterscotch mares creamed in her more than ineffectual manner.
“My name is Mogget,-” Did I just say that? “Nice to meet you.” Smiling, he calmly approached who he knew to be Fluttershy. The colt’s mane waved about with each stride as he looked dead straight into Fluttershy’s tender blue eyes. “I’m not going to hurt you.” Mogget said in a reassuring tone. Sadly, the trust required was not given so easily. Only a few inches apart, he drew in closer, staring straight at her face.
“Assertive...” She whispered to herself. Straightening up and leveling Mogget’s gaze, she collided nuzzle to nuzzle with the stallion and narrowed a somewhat terrifying look dead centre into his soul. “What do you want?!” The bitter intimidation kicked Mogget hard in the gut.
Swallowing hard, the terrified colt back away slowly only to have Fluttershy press harder against him. “I-...I just wand.. I-c-c’mon! I didn’t mean any disrespect or anyth-nhk!”
Growling, Fluttershy huffed at the fellow Pegasus and smiled weakly. “Well then... um... Well I’m terribly sorry about that. My name’s Fluttershy, nice to meet you.”
I eased up, and with a sigh of relief I followed behind Fluttershy who kindly gestured towards her little cottage that I surprisingly missed. My heart slowed its pace and I regained my senses. It was hard to believe I was in Equestria, albeit what my body felt. It seemed strange enough to feel that everything was natural about my existence in this universe, but to answer with a name fully prepared and at my tongue; strange. What’s weird about being a Pegasus is that I can see to my hind almost perfectly, which is scary and a bit perverse as I think about how I may look to others when peering at my own flank; which is another thing! I’m what you’d call a ‘Blank flank’! Not cool.
I hop over a few tree roots and weave between a series of well parted trees. Time passes by before I realise I’m taking in the scenery and staring at a few butterflies that caught the corner of my eye; cute little creatures. Oh Celestia, if only my friends could hear me now. They’d never let me live this down.
“Um... So, Fluttershy...” I begin. She perks up and looks back. “Uhh... You’re not scared of me or anything? Not that you should be, it’s just I find it weird that you’d just warm up to me like that.”
I saw her muse at me. No surprise. “Well, I mean you did startle me when you just popped up like that, but when I approached you I could feel no hurtful intentions. I’m not sure; it’s too illogical to explain.” Her yellow hooves scuffed against the dirt nervously.
“Oh, well oki doki loki!”
A perplexed mare lurched back and met me with a strange question that only made sense after moments of thinking. “Where did you learn that?”
“Hmm?” I ask. “Oh uh...” It hurts but I have to lie. “A famous saying that has: spread throughout Equestria? Yeah, that’s what it is; a famous saying. Originated from none other than Ponyville I heard.”
“Oh really? I didn’t know that. That’s fascinating.”
“You’re fascinating” I say. Fluttershy blushes and I grin. I am so smooth! I peer into the subtle blue sky, and witness Celestia’s glory for the first time. The suns warmth coursing through me and the spring air flushing through my lungs, I breathe in and out with satisfaction.
“Well, we should probably head inside. I mean, that’s if you want to of course.” She looks at me cutely, her head tucked into her fore-hooves as her right eye is veiled by her silky pink fringe. I could not deny such an adoring look.
“Sure!” I pipe.
“Oh wonderful!” She cheers in her usual quiet manner. She zips in through the door and I follow.
Only moments after I enter her humble abode, I find myself shoved up to a table with an array of aromatic treats displayed all over.
“Well, I figured you might be hungry so I fixed something up for you; just a few odds and ends. I really hope you like it.” She pushes up a silver platter covered in cupcakes towards me.
I won’t hold back, the food looks amazing so I eagerly lay my hoof on one of the offered pastries and grip firmly the morsel of deliciousness. I quickly shove the whole cupcake in my mouth and chew. De-li- cious!
“So uh... Do you like them?” She asks.
I simply nod. There were no possible words I could use to describe how I felt. I couldn’t speak anyway, even if I wanted to. I continue to chew the sweet pastry when Fluttershy asks me a quick question.
“So um… If you don’t mind me asking, um… Where are you from?” Waiting for my response, she takes up a teapot and pours the two of us a drink.
We sit in silence. She sips on her tea, and I reach for another cupcake, though I feel reluctant to take another without first answering Fluttershy’s question. I look up at her and smile, simply saying: “Nowhere in particular, I travel around from here to there and so on. Though the spontaneous teleportation was a little… er… How would you say it, ‘Gratuitous’?”
“So you’ve traveled all across Equestria then?”
“Here and there.”
Placing her now empty cup on the table, she clapped her hooves in delight and said: “Tell me about your experiences, I’m sure that would be interesting!”
Fumbling around, I desperately try to think up an excuse to avoid an unnecessary conversation. None. So I try my hardest to come up with something on the spot. “Well, I have been to Manehattan. I’m sure you recognize the name?”
“Oh yes, simply amazing!” she exclaimed.
“Mmm…” I take a hold of the tea in front and sip. It’s very sweet and frankly very tasty. Everything here has been good so far. I down a few more mouthfuls and attempt to change the topic or atleast get the spotlight off me. “Have you been places?” I ask, leaning in with anticipation of an interesting story or two.
“Oh well, maybe I’ll discuss that with you later. I’ve just looked at the clock you see and I really have to leave.” The panic struck as she jolted into the air. “Wait, I forgot about you!”
“Don’t worry, I can just wait here I guess.”
“Oh no, I’ve a brilliant idea! You have to come with me and meet my friends! I’m sure they’d love to meet you; Pinkie especially.”
