POV Feel

I followed the twins down the corridor without any mood at all, I understood that I could not relax, because my head tyrant would not let me down

"Why are you so gloomy" Yon asked me "Are you worried about all this?" I nod "Don't worry so much, you're lucky that we're with you. If someone else was with you, you would have remained disabled" she hugged me and started giggling

"If you don't take into account that I'm already disabled," commented in my head

By this time we had already reached the right door and behind it I saw a very large gym, in which there was a lot of sports equipment, ranging from exercise machines and ending with balls

"I am surprised by the size of all the rooms, I wonder what size the ship itself is?" I asked myself a silent question

When we first entered, everyone who was inside stopped minding their own business and started looking in our direction

"Hey, look" one of the guys shouted "It's the new guy, it looks like we're going to see a performance now" after his words, a hum and a noise of applause rose throughout the hall

"I feel like a clown in a circus," I comment on this situation

"And what did you want?" says Night "I agree with them, you are now a weak and defenseless foal, but for you it will be motivation to become stronger and put them all in their place" she encouraged me "Oh, I'm pity I don't have popcorn" and immediately destroyed her speech

I roll my eyes at my interlocutor's comment, by this time we had reached the center of the hall, where Yon was already standing with a piece of paper

"Now we will start checking your skills" she says checking the list "First on the list we will start with 100 meters" and shows the place from which we start

I approach the specified point and Yut comes up against me after 100 meters, letting me know where to run to

"Are you ready?" Yon asks me, to which I nod "Great, then to the start, attention and ..." here she looks at me with a puzzled face "Why don't you get up a running pose?" to her question, I shrug my shoulders "Don't tell me you don't know how to get up?" I nod and then the whole hall was infected with wild laughter of everyone who looked at me

"Look at him, this garbage doesn't even know how to start running from a low start" says one of the observers and tries to catch his breath after laughing

Yon takes a deep breath from the situation and after not much noise, begins to explain to me how to start running "Listen to how to do. Running from a low start is divided into three phases, at the command "Get" you rest your hands on the starting line, legs bent at the knees. At the same time, one leg is placed slightly in front, the other – behind, and it is she who rests her knee on the track. The head is lowered, the gaze is directed down. At the command "set", the knee lifts off the ground, the pelvis rises, the shoulders move slightly forward, and the weight of the body is transferred to the front leg. At the command "Go" you have to lift both hands off the floor, the hind leg makes a powerful push and the first running step, and the whole body strives forward to the finish line."

As a result, after the end of her dialogue, I just stood like a statue and didn't understand anything, and it looks like she noticed it

"God, there are so many problems with you," she says

"Let me show our newcomer how to do it" a person I don't know got into our conversation

"Ron, what do you need" says Yon "Did you also decide to make fun of him?"

"No, how could you think that" he reproached her with his affected tone "I want to help our “brother” to show how and what to do" he says with a cunning eye divination

I stood next to him and looked at this character “Ron”, he looked like everyone else, but his musculature was different from the others, he was thin, tall and fit, a scar that passed through his lips stood out very much on his face. Despite his friendly appearance, I only felt hostility from him

Yon sighs tiresomely, but still agrees to his request "Okay Ron, show our beginner the basics"

"Yes, of course, I will do it in as much detail as possible" he says, standing next to us "Let's diversify the test of your skills and add a small dispute to them" he suggests

"Absolutely not" Yon abruptly inserts his word

"I didn't ask you" he answers her and turns to me "Let's make a bet, if you can repeat or even surpass me, then I can guarantee your safety, and if not, will you become my slave until the end of the journey?" he offered a deal and holds out his hand to me

"Don't agree to this" Yon gets in "You can't beat him in running, he's the best runner in our team, let's just finish the test?" she suggested

I looked at her pleading eyes for a long time, she was right, but if I refuse, I will not be able to imagine the consequences and what they can do to me

"Think about it well" said Night "Now" your magic reserve is at zero, and even more so, doing magic in front of them is not the best idea"

After thinking about my actions and looking at Rona's hand again, I still decide to try my luck and shake it. Nearby, Yon looks at me and at this situation with resignation

"Great" Ron shouts out and looks at me complacently "Once you've decided, I'll start first, and you watch my movements carefully"

He stands at the starting point and bends down to stand up, and I watch his movements very carefully, analyze and memorize his every action. After the command “Go” sounded, he ran like lightning to the finish line, less than 10 seconds had passed, and he was already standing there and resting

"Ron broke his record, 9 seconds and 60 milliseconds" everyone started applauding him

Ron comes up to me, pats me on the shoulder and says softly in my ear "Don't worry, I have a collar for you" and leaves to wait for my failure

I stood like a pillar from the result I saw, I do not know what is happening to me. My legs couldn't hold me, my eyes hurt, my head started to get hot from memorizing such information, as if I “literally” copied the information, I fall to my knees and Yon runs up to me

"What happened to you happened" she worries "I told you it was a bad idea"

Ron comes up to us, sits on his knees and tells me at face level "I'm glad you accepted your defeat, but you know what?" puts his hand on my shoulder "You'll have to run, because we have to test your skills" and with a smug smile goes to the audience

I kept kneeling and looking at the floor, analyzing the changes

"What is happening to me?" I ask myself

"If you're interested" Night got in "I didn't feel any changes in your circle"

"What does all this mean?" I start to panic, "Okay, calm down, let's analyze what is happening" I take a couple of breaths and exhalations, calming my mind "I stood and watched as my opponent showed his skills. When he finished, strange things started happening to me," I kept looking at the floor, as if there was at least some answer in him, "Damn, how is all this connected?"

At this moment, a familiar hand falls on my shoulder and spoke to me "Okay, we can't change anything anymore, are you feeling better?" I nod "Okay, then let's finish this" we get up and she suddenly hugs me "Don't worry, I'll try to think of something"

I stood like a pillar from the unexpected action from her and for not much my pain began to evaporate around me

"Stop basking here" someone from the crowd shouted "And run on, we want to see how you screw up" all the observers agreed with him

"Stop mocking him, he didn't do anything" Yon stood in my direction

"He's a stranger here, and we don't know how to do anything else with strangers, do you agree, brothers?" everyone started supporting their fellow tribesman

"Don't listen to their Silent, if they don't believe in you, then at least we believe in you, me and my brother" she smiled and from another hall Yut gave me a thumbs up

I stood and looked at these two who sincerely supported me, I was filled with a mysterious saturation, from which I felt much better. The last time I felt so good was only with the support of my friend from the shelter

Having gained courage and filled with energy, I approach the starting point and gradually repeat all the movements that the person before me did. I was so immersed in this case that I did not hear the comments of everyone watching me and waited for the impending command “Go”.

I began to calm my mind and concentrate on my emotions, there were a lot of them inside me, ranging from panic to joy, but what pressed me more was envy? Yes, envy! I envied his skills, I envied how he was praised and encouraged by everyone around him and the strangest thing is, this feeling is very familiar to me, something inside me hated its mediocrity, I was getting hot, I was ready to give everything 100

When the command march sounded, some strange force pressed on my legs and I ran. I do not know how much time has passed, but for me it all happened in just a second
I was standing at the finish line and waiting for my result, it was quiet around me and only my breathing destroyed my silence, I looked at Yut and he stood in shock looking at me, after a while he says

"Um, Silent ran for 9 seconds and 30 milliseconds" he says in a surprised tone "And it turns out that Silent is considered the winner"
This is the last thing I heard, a smile appeared on my face and I fall to the floor losing consciousness

POV Yon

In a hurry I run up to Silent to check what happened to him

"Silent!" I shout, in a hurry I run up to him "God, what happened to you?"

My brother runs up to us, alarmed "What happened?" he asks me

"I do not know" I tell him "He just finished running and immediately fell"

Yut leans her head against his body and starts listening to his breathing "Bless our mother, he's breathing" he says and sighs with relief

I take off his glasses to check the condition of his pupil. Pushing his eyelids apart, I briefly freeze in place, surprised by the sight of his eyes, they looked like our mother's, but red and for a while I noticed how for a second his eye became brighter and went out again "What was that?" I thought

"What's wrong with him?" My brother asks me

"I guess he fainted from hunger," I tell him, "but still, I didn't think he could do that."

I look around and see that everyone is starting to disperse quickly, "This won't do," I think

"Hey, where are we going?" dozens of people stopped in the hall, and others who managed to get out disappeared outside "Now I need several assistants"

Many people started to deny it and came up with reasons to leave, it started to anger me and I can see out of the corner of my eye who arranged this duel

"RON!" I shout at him "Come here quickly"

He stops, looks around and cleans his ears of dirt "Decided to turn on the fool"

"Yes Ron, I'm calling you and let's be nice, bring your ass here and help the one you lost to"

He slowly turns around and walks towards us with a dissatisfied look

"What do you want?" he asks in a lazy tone

"Don't be clownish and help us bring it to Dr. Jekyll"

"Why should I help? Yes, and it seems that the two of you will be able to bring him to the doctor" he is indignant

"Firstly, I have to report to our mother about what happened" I say, and slowly approach him "Secondly, you lost to him and now you have to help and protect him" I stand close to him and poke him in the chest with my index finger "Thirdly, if you didn't If I started this performance, then maybe it wouldn't have happened"

He stood shocked, and did not know how to answer me, his eyes were rolling in all directions just not to look at me, not finding an answer at the walls and ceiling, he sighs languidly, slowly approaches the lying man and begins to take him by the legs

"Yut, take him by the shoulders, and I take his legs" he offers an idea "Let's quickly carry him and finish this business"

I roll my eyes at his childish whims and leave to report today's report to our mother "I hope everything will be all right with you" I say to the sleeping Silent

POV Feel

I wake up in a forest familiar to me and looked at the night sky, I do not know how long I lay there, but I did not want to move

"God, what a beautiful night sky" I say to the void

"I agree with you" my teacher appears out of the void "Let's just not get distracted from the important" she changes the subject "Explain to me what you did just now?"

"To be honest, I don't know what happened myself" I tell her the truth "The only thing I felt then was envy"

"Envy?" she asks me with interest

"Yes, envy, I felt injustice before, but this time it was special. I felt that I wanted to be able to do the same as him, I wanted to have the same influence and prestige as others" I looked at her "Tell me, have you ever felt this?"

She looked at me for a long time, and I looked at her and waited for an answer, soon she lies down next to me and looks at the night sky directly at the moon

"I'll be honest with you, I've felt that way too, for as long as I can remember" she closes her eyes, as if remembering old times "I'll tell you this, I was jealous of the one who was loved the most, the one who took all her attention, and I just wanted to be loved" here she couldn't keep I started shouting my emotions into the night sky "I couldn't keep myself in the shade all the time and I decided to talk to her about it, BUT she never had time to talk to me, SHE couldn't even spare a couple of minutes for a simple heart-to-heart conversation, because of HER they began to forget me, to leave to the background" I noticed that tears began to stand out in her eyes "I couldn't stand it anymore and decided for myself that if you can't be heard anymore, then I will act as I deem necessary, I…"

I watched her and felt incredible longing and sadness from her, I felt sorry for her and decided to take a risky step, I slowly approach her and gently hug her neck, she stops from her monologue and slowly begins to look at me

"You and I are very unlucky with fate" I tell her and gently stroke her mane "Although we are very little acquainted, but I feel that you and I are very similar and therefore let's stick together?" I ask her, smiling

She looked into my eyes for a long time looking for the truth in them, soon she wanted to tell me something, but did not have time, because a strange door appeared in front of us. The door was metal, gray in color, it was very old, there were a lot of papers pasted on it, but they were all unreadable and there was a strange dial next to it

Night and I exchanged glances and looked at the door again, after a while, the door began to open with a wild creak, and behind it we saw only darkness

"Is this how it should be?" I ask her

"Usually not" she answers "Initially, such doors appear only in the land of dreams, in which you can enter any dream, but in your dream I can't go out and enter someone else's"

We do not dare to enter this door for a long time, cold breathed from it and an oppressive atmosphere oozed out, but our curiosity gets the better of us and standing in front of it we look at each other for the last time in order to enter this black something

When we were inside, I didn't see any light source (except for the entrance itself), only the hard surface touched our feet and hooves, it lasted a couple of minutes until my patience broke

"How the hell long can this go on?" I shout into the void

"Have patience" calms the Night "We are now with you, as I assume, in someone else's dream and as I feel, I have no power here"

"Okay, I hope the one who we are now has no cockroaches in his head" and as if at my command, some voice echoes through

"Mediocrity…

- Useless…

- Nobody needs you…"

We froze in place and started looking for the source of these voices

"Why aren't you like sisters…"

Goosebumps went through my body, I don't know why, but it was as if they were directed at me

"I wish you hadn't been born…"

I fell to my knees and held my head with my hands, I didn't want to listen to it, looking at the Night she looked more scared and defenseless than she was before. From these voices, without thinking, I grab Night and hug her as much as possible, and she started hugging me back, we both were not comfortable being here

"They're better than you…"

This was the last drop of our patience, we decided to somehow stop it

"SHUT UP" we shouted together, and at that moment everything in the neighborhood quieted down

I open my eyes to look around, but it was also dark until my ears detected a strange noise, looking in the direction of the noise, I noticed a strange rectangle with interference. After exchanging glances with my teacher, we slowly approach a strange object, and a very strange noise was coming out of it louder and louder

"What is it" Night asks me

"I don't know for sure, but something inside me says that this thing is called a TV" I answer her

When we approached him in the butt, a strange distorted female voice began to come out of him

"Have you done your homework?" a woman's voice asks

"Yes, I made them" a voice answers, my voice?

"You have swimming lessons scheduled today," she reminds him

"Yes, I know" why do I hear my voice?

"Please, can you at least stay in this sport longer than usual" she chastises him

"Excuse me, I can't do anything, I have no talent for this" I have a very strange feeling of deja vu

"Why do your sisters get everything, but you have nothing, do you want to always be in their shadow?" a woman 's voice is pumping up

"Please stop, I'm trying as hard as I can" both of us are already shouting, me and the mysterious voice

At that moment I was already lying on the ground with tears and wanted it to stop

"Please stop, I'm putting all my strength into this" I shout into the void

"Wake up" Night wakes me up

"No, I don't want to" I can't hear her

"It's all over," she tells me

"Next time I will definitely succeed" I tell her

"Feel, calm down, we're already outside" and gently strokes my back with his hoof

I open my eyes and see the night sky familiar to me, looking around, I see the forest familiar to me and my teacher sitting next to me

"Where are we" I ask her

"We're still in your dream, we've been out of there for a couple of minutes"

"Do you know what it was?"

"Definitely not, but I have a little theory" she says with a thoughtful look "As it seems to me, perhaps this is the embodiment of your past life"

I look at her in surprise "How can this be?"

"As I said, I'm just guessing, in my long life I've never encountered such a thing, but all the facts are on the face"

"You know what?" I ask her "It turns out I live my second life as a loser" I say and sigh

Night looked at me with sadness in her eyes "Do you remember you asked me about us staying together?" I nod "So, I didn't finish then, having thought it over well, I accept your offer to support each other"

From happiness, I started hugging her tightly and she didn't even resist, it lasted a couple of minutes until she offered me

"Since we're here, let's continue your magic lessons?" I agree with her and a desk appears in front of me at which I sit down, and a board and a long pointer appear behind it "Today's topic will be devoted to illusions, as well as their types and their likenesses in Equus"

To Be Continued ….
