Prologue

You know, I look back now at my at my entire life, my real life in Equestria, back before I was on the ground, bleeding and dying, for a pony that I love, I realize that I regret absolutely nothing, from the first night, when I ran, that fateful night when I came here. In the end, looking into the eyes of my attacker, I feel no regrets, just happiness, to know that I died for the one I love...

"Daniel, what is the meaning of life?" A voice, neither male nor female called out to the thirteen year old boy.

"I- I don't know." Daniel began falling, into a void of darkness. It was odd, for while he was in it he did not feel anything, not physically nor mentally. His thoughts began to fade until suddenly, all around him it turned brighter, and he found himself on a beach. "But we could always find out." He found himself saying.

"Do you wish for another chance?" The voice said, the beach quickly fading away.

"Yes, yes I do." Daniel said, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Where are you?" The voice spoke.

"I, don't know." Daniel replied.

"Are you lost?" The voice called, seeming to grow more distant.

"I, yes!" Daniel yelled.

"Then you will be found..."

Daniel's eyes shot open, and he looked around. He was in the library, a book open on the table in front of him. He got up, and walked out the door. He looked up at the sky, and saw that it was night. Shoving his hands in his pockets he started walking back behind the old building, when somebody came running up to him and shoved a gun, pulling the trigger on himself. Daniel's eyes went wide as the man screamed in pain, and went down, and two police officers came running, and saw Daniel. "Hey you kid!" One yelled.

"What? Wait no! I didn't? What's going on?" Daniel looked around himself frantically. Finally deciding that it would be best to run, he dropped the gun and sprinted out of the alleyway. Looking behind himself he saw the two cops on his tail.

"Stop! In the name of the law!" The second cop yelled in a cliche way.

"That's happening." Daniel muttered sarcastically. Daniel weaved through the crowd, expertly dodging and evading people, quickly leaving the cops in the dust, turning quickly into another alley he looked around for a ladder. Seeing one at the end of the alley, he ran towards it, and started climbing, and when he reached the top, he looked over the ledge to see the two cops running by and out the opposite end. sighing, he slid back down the ladder, and walked out the alley. He stopped in front of the electronic store, and looking at the screens on the televisions, he saw his own confused and shocked face looking back.

"Police are now on the look out for this suspect, if you see him, please turn him in to the authorities." A female announcer said.

'How the heck did they get my picture so quickly?' Daniel thought frantically. He ran towards the nearby bridge that led out of the small urban area, and into the surrounding farmlands, and kept on running.

Stopping near a tree with plenty of low branches, he climbed up, and rested on a good sized branch. Thinking over the crazy day, he wondered what had happened. One moment he was walking, and the next he was running from the police, all because some guy shoved a gun in his hands. Feeling exhausted, he finally let sleep take him.

"Do you need a second chance?" The voice returned.

"Yes." Daniel said, feeling himself fading

"Then you shall receive it..." Daniel felt nothing. Absolutely nothing. not emotionally or physically. then suddenly a breath of life was given to him and he breathed it in through his nose. It smelt like apples. Opening his eyes, he was staring into two golden eyes. Eyes that weren't exactly aligned correctly...
