Darkness surrounded me on all over as I opened my eyes again.

Thoughts swam like a tsunami in my head making me feel like I might go mad. I felt the darkness all around me that's when something appeared in front of me.

It looked like a giant spiderweb with strange images dancing in between the threads. And in the center of it was a woman. An elderly woman wearing a shiny black dress of some kind with white lines ending in a circle on her chest with six different lines going out into what looked to be the shape of a spider sitting in the center of the giant web in what looks like a throne. She also had a bandage covering her eyes meaning she was either blind or had no eyes at all.

I've seen this woman before, Somewhere. And it wasn't the first time I saw her in this black abyss either.

She raised her head and appeared to be looking at me.

"You have passed the test Jason wright, now it's time to wake up."

cr-CRACK

The sound of something cracking open and a bright light shining in my eyes causing my hands to rise up and cover them but I couldn't move them. As I tried to piece together where I was, I felt like I was laying down and in something soft and sticky. I also felt some hard substance covering my whole body like a body cast, making it hard to move at all. I was also hearing slight moving sounds all around me, as if tiny little creatures were crawling all over, or my body fell asleep.

crack-crack-CRUNCH

I felt the hard substance break off of me as I also felt myself falling off of what I was currently laying on. 'WHOA!' Luckily I was able to land on my knees with a grunt and move my arms directly in front of me in time so I wouldn't slam on the floor. My skin felt somewhat moist like I was wet all over but not quite, like slime. I tried opening my eyes a little but the light all around me was too bright for, along with the dripping slime burning my eyes.

I moved my whole body so I was just on my knees as I lifted my left arm to wipe my eyes, only to spread more slime all over my face, even entering my mouth'ugh, gross.'. I couldn't taste anything from it, but still, gross. I then lifted my right leg to the floor and the other till I was properly standing on the floor with my bare feet. I then took slight step forward and almost slipped, noticing right away that I was standing on a smooth hard surface floor. I then took another step forward and another, and another.

"Whoooahh!" almost losing my balance until both my slimy covered hands grabbed something cold and metallic 'cutting it a little too close that time there.'I then quickly used my left hand in a downwards motion, keeping my mouth closed of course, and was able to clear the stuff off my eyes to somewhat open them properly.

I saw that I was in a big white room with a tile floor, then looked at what I was grabbing was a metal handle on the side of the hospital bed.I'm in a hospital, what happened??' while my vision was still blurry I did see a door across from the room with a sign on the door. While it was hard to see what it read or what was on it, it did have the usual colors of a bathroom sign, so I walked towards it.

While I was still slipping from time to time, I was more careful until I reached the door and grabbed the knob. With that I entered the bathroom and it's sink was the first thing for me to see, so I didn't waste anytime and moved towards it. Turning the right knob on that had a red circle on top and knew it was the hot water, I turned it hearing the familiar sound of running water. Running my hands through the cold water until I felt it warm up enough, I leaned forward and washed my face. I took notice that I had to lean a little more forward than normal to reach the sink but I managed to move my head into my hands and into the warming, rushing water.

It took a little longer than I expected to clean the weird slimy liquid off my face but thankfully I got it out of eyes the most, that's what mattered. I lifted myself up turning the sink off and saw a small white towel hanging on a metal rack. I grabbed it and dried my face off "ohhh" 'okay, that's much better.' I then looked at myself in the mirror to see what injuries I had that led me to the hospital in the first place too. When I noticed the clear slime covering my naked body, oh yeah I was also butt ass naked. I look down at the sink Didn't even give me a hospital gown? what a bunch of laz....what the?? I froze and look back up with widened eyes as I took notice of something else, not just my body, but my whole self.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!"

Panic set in as I backed up quickly and tumbled to the floor landing on my butt as I tried to grasp what I saw. I then lifted myself up again to my knees, quickly and carefully getting back up, grabbing the edge of the sink counter. I then looked back at the mirror to confirm what I saw.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Standing in the reflection was me alright, but I looked very different than what I looked like before. And last time I checked, coma's make you older, not younger.

While it has been awhile since I had a decent workout, this was a whole new level from what I was seeing with the new well built muscles of an Olympic athlete. I knew that I was about to be in my mid thirties but right now I seem to have reverted back to early twenties I practically look like a eighteen year old high schooler all over again, the only logical explanation I can think of about that was plastic surgery done on me, but that was extremely unlikely. Even though it was designed to make you look younger and repair whatever damage your body took, it wouldn't look as accurate as before. That and there weren't any scars on me that were new.

I immediately took notice of something very much different about me that I knew were not there before. My canine teeth looked to be extended to a point. I shockingly put a finger on one of the tips and felt a sharp poke as a new pressure made itself known. As I lifted both My hands I noticed my fingernails were also pointy and extended on each finger as I brought them forward I then noticed that my skin was still the same slight tan which gave me a very small measure of relief, but not for long.

I also noticed that the bathroom light wasn't on, aside from the door still open leaving me in total darkness, except I can see very clearly in it. 'What exactly am I on right now?' that's when it hit me. I looked back to the open door and saw the hospital bed I was in and what was in the bed currently made my blood run cold and my mind to fuzz.

On the bed was a large silky looking mass, covered on the outside by some hard shell and it was split wide open. Very similar to certain insects that created such things I saw on the discovery channel. Except nowhere near as big 'A cocoon??....I was inside a COCOON!!?' I couldn't breathe, I was on the verge of having a panic attack at the realization and my sudden change. Hands wrapped around behind my head with my eyes closed tightly, kneeling on bathroom counter on the verge of losing it. 'Wake up, wake up, wake up' I kept repeating in my head over and over again while slapping it, but it was a fruitless endeavor. This was really happening "what the fuck happened to me!?" I whispered with some tears in my eyes now as I started hyperventilating.

Then I heard the sound of clip clopping from close by. I opened my eyes and walked out wondering what was making that noise. It sounded like it was coming from somewhere outside of the hospital room I was currently in, and it was getting closer.

I then moved to the bathroom entrance to the main room once again. The clopping sound I heard was louder now, followed by another. When I came out of bathroom immediately noticed another door on the far side wall. As I looked around the hospital, I suddenly had a very strange feeling of seeing a hospital room like this before. I shook that thought quickly from my already stressed mind as the clip clop sound was even closer and clearer now as I began recognizing where I heard it from.

'Hooves?' I was now confused as to why I was hearing hooves all of a sudden 'it's official, I'm losing my mind.' The hoof steps were now right outside my door.

The door opened quickly that I had to cover my eyes again from another bright glare from who was at the door. as I heard a voice speak to me, a feminine motherly voice I knew I heard before.

"Oh, Mr. Wright, your awake I see" as my eyes adjusted from the sudden blindness from the door opening, my eyes widened in shock at who was standing at the door. If my head was spinning before as what was going on earlier, it might as well have fallen off from who I saw.

A very tall pony almost the same height as me with a white coat and a mane of many colors, flowing in a none existent breeze wearing a small golden crown on her head with golden horseshoes. She also had a long horn on her forehead just above the crown and what looked like wing folded on her sides "PRINCESS CELESTIA!?" I blurted out without thinking as I stared at the very ruler of Equestria herself.

"Oh good you remember me" she said with relieved smile as she came into the hospital room. then A golden yellow glow came from her horn and a light switch next to the became covered in the same glow and the lights turned on once again blinding me.

"GAH!!"

I covered both my eyes as the startled yelp caused the Princess to gasp and then heard her magic horn go off again and then the lights dimmed. "Oh, I'm sorry I didn't mean to startle you like that." she spoke in a calm voice the same kind of voice I imagined a mother would use speaking to her child.

"What is going on her your maje-OH!" another female voice spoke as I opened my eyes and when I looked I saw a pony mare dressed like a maid walk in and her eyes widen as she looked at me "P-Princess, w-w-what is t-t-THAT!?" she pointed her hoof at me, as she looked ready to run out of the room.

"It's alright nurse, this is the patient in this room I brought in a week ago" as the princess said this the nurse never once took her eyes off me, she looked to be on the verge of having a panic attack. She then swallowed as she was obviously trying very hard to keep her cool. And considering my new appearance I just saw in the bathroom mirror, I no doubt look a lot scarier now.

And I don't blame her.

I'm still trying to wrap my head the whole time she came in. THE Princess Celestia herself was standing right in front of me, in the flesh. She looked a hell of a lot more realistic than in the cartoon, but other than that she looked just the same in every other category "wh-what is going....? before I could even try to explain what was happening right now the Princess walked up to me.

"It's alright, I imagine your still pretty confused by all this. Do you remember what happened?" she spoke gently with a calm face, even if it hardly seemed to work in the state my mind was in. I thought about what she meant, did she know what happened to me and why I look like this? A week? That's how long I was out! I was still beyond freaked out that I shook my head before looking back at her.

I felt a soft touch on my shoulders as I looked back at the princess who now had one of her wings wrapped around me despite the slime still covering me. Though judging from the slight discomfort on her face that only showed up half a second she probably regrets it, though she didn't seem to care right now "It's alright Jason, I know your scared and I will help figure out what happened, but right now your going to need some new clothes and a proper shower." that reminded me I was still in the nude which made both my hands cover between my legs, causing red to appear on my cheeks.

The Princess giggled at my embarrassment as the nurse was still quite terrified of me. She was still frozen at the door entrance looking back between me and the princess, unsure what to do. Princess Celestia then cleared her throat and pushed back to bathroom "Go on Jason, well talk when your ready. My sister and nephew need to hear this too but I rather not repeat myself. Until then I will have one of the maids have some new personal clothes ready for you when you finish."

I just about turned around entirely facing her before she finished her sentence. I thought for a moment as I look at her(still covering my pride of course)and then nodded as I went to bathroom for a shower.

I stepped into the bathroom again closing the door behind me as I jumped in the shower. I also seem to have a new problem 'Jeez, wouldn't it be easier to design a shower for all species instead of just for ponies' not sure why they haven't yet 'meh, I'll figure it out eventually.' I then reached for the knob that turns on the shower, twisting the knob to the hot water.

squeak CRANK

"OH, SHi-!!!" cold Water splattered that was me as the shower knob ripped off the wall. Shielding myself as much as I can as the new hole in the wall barreled out uncontrollably. I did manage to reach the wall trying to cover it to stop all the water with my back slammed into the wall. That was partially working but not for long as I heard cracking in the wall. I turned to see that the squared bath wall was on the verge of falling apart "uh-oh." this was not good at all.

I heard hushed shouting from outside as the bathroom door slammed open.

"Jason is everything a-AH"

VVVVRRRRIIII

The shouting was caught off as a sudden noise from out of nowhere and a large tingling sensation in my head caused me to move without thinking. everything moved as if in slow motion when I ran to the princess. A loud tumbling sound from behind was heard but I didn't even acknowledge it as I grabbed her in both arms and jumped as a loud sound of rushing water was right behind me.

When I came to, I was standing outside of a massive hallway, which I recognized belonged to Canterlot castle with the princess still wrapped around my arms as I laid on the side as if shielding his body from harm.

"wh-what happened" Celestia said as I got off the floor and let her go.

"FREEZE"

'Ugh, now what?' I then turned to the third voice as four white ponies wearing golden armor on white coats came running towards us. And they did not look happy to see me.

"Halt monster, stand away from the Princess now," the one leading the charge spoke as he pointed a spear he was holding with his wing inches from my face "wait I didn't....." I tried to say but two of them put spears in my face, silencing me

"your highness, are you okay?" the head guard spoke not taking his eyes off me for even a second.

"Y-Yes I'm fine, lieutenant" Celestia said getting up from the floor.

"Don't worry your highness, we'll take care of this" he said as he glared as him and the others moved towards me, weapons drawn with the lieutenant having bladed wings on his feathers, similar to daggers.

"H-hey wait a min-"I tried to say but was cut off.

"SILENCE MONSTER, YOU ATTACK OUR PRINCEES AND WILL SUFFER FOR IT" the leader pony who was the lieutenant I heard Celestia say shouted.

'VVVVRRRRIIII'

The same tingling feeling vibrated around me again as I ducked out of the way of a spear an inch from my face was about to impale me. The guard next to him tried to jump on me but I caught him by the throat before he could land on my head. Moving faster than I ever did before in my life as I threw the second guard at the first one, knocking them both away as the two others ran at me.

"WILL YOU JUST STOP ALREADY!"I shouted pointlessly, of course at this time there was no point in reasoning with these guys, they were hellbent on taking me out.

The third guard to come towards me was also a pegasus as he flew up above towards me. I jumped out of the way of his charge in a mighty leap just in time The fourth one was about slug punch me directly in the face, but I moved my fist in time as it made contact with his hoof.

C-CRACK-K-K

• "AAAUUUUGGHHH."

The gold armor on the stallions hoof shattered on impact with my fist, from the sound of it, it sounded like I shattered his hoof too. I stared at my fist wide eyed over what just happened 'WOAH???' my fist wasn't even hurt or fractured at all.

The other guards were even more angry after seeing their comrade injured, all moved quickly towards me with the intent of taking me down all at once.

Until a familiar golden glow appeared in front of them, stopping in their tracks.

"ENOUGH!!!" a loud booming voice shouted right behind me as I turned towards the Princess, and she did not sound happy as she glared at them 'good thing I covered my ears in time.'

"Your highness what are you do-"

"STAND DOWN AT ONCE, ALL OF YOU!"

The lieutenant and his three lackeys immediately jumped back as their ruler put them in their place, thankfully.

"Care to explain why you were all attacking my guest lieutenant Slicer Wing."

"GUEST???" they all said at once, piecing together what was happening. This didn't satisfy Celestia as her anger burned holes and something tells me that doesn't happen often. I gulped a little as I looked at her and honestly she was pretty scary too. Her mane was darting out all over the place, looking similar to fire and since she does have the power to move the sun itself on this world I'd stay as far as possible 'mental note to self, never piss her off.' I thought as she lowered her magic field between us.

The lieutenant was the first to speak, still glaring menacingly at of course as I glared back "your highness this creature attacked you, we heard a noise and saw this....monstrosity attack you."

Okay now I was mad at this guy too, straight up attacking me out of the blue and just jumping to conclusions instead of getting her side of the story was just asking for it. Even the others nodded in agreement which wasn't making their situation any better.

"He, DID, no such thing, in fact you should be congratulating him for his heroics." she said turning to me with a smile as the guards now had become speechless. The lieutenant on the other hand was fuming now, still believing his own story.

"You expect to believe that this thing save you, he was clearly on the verge of devouring you!"

"Fuck you too asshole!"

I heard the princess clear her throat as I said this with a look telling me to stop talking. I raised both my hands and looked away while the lieutenant smirked.

"You all actually believe that?" she looked at all the guards who, aside from lieutenant 'Dumb Wing' didn't meet her gaze at all, knowing they just made a big mistake. Celestia then looked with disappointment which made them more nervous in the process "I see..... well then would you like to hear the truth then." Seems they all knew better than to object at this time anyways "very well, Mr. Wright, would you explain what happpened?" as she turned back to me.

"Gladly" I boasted loudly at her which made the guards cringe and their stupid leader of their little assault snarl and look away. "I was about to take a shower and a pipe burst" as I said this my smile grew and grew as they were all starting to look guilty.

"Pfff, likely story why would a creature like you even need a shower?" lieutenant 'Dumb Wing' spoke once again as I gave him the finger without looking at him.

"Because I told him he could." Celestia said looking at the lieutenant as he got confused by this question "and no more offensive gestures Mr. Wright, please" I wasn't even surprised she even knew what the middle meant, which ALSO surprised me.

"What exactly do you mean your highness?" Slicer spoke as some confusion dotted his face.

"Well you see Mr. Wright here was getting treatment in the hospital wing from critical injuries here" as she spoke "This here was the very room he was staying in" She then looked at me "there is one thing I need to know, how did the bathroom get flooded Jason?" this of course was the question I knew at some point was coming up.

I scratched my head as I looked away at from her, unsure how to respond and I was also reminded once again I was still naked too which didn't help. "I.....accidently broke the shower faucet." I still did not look at her when I said this but I still answered as honestly as I could.

"And how did you do that?" she asked.

"I-I don't know I just turned it, it made a loud squeaky sound and snapped right off the wall, then the wall collapsed." I finally looked at her again when I said that and her look of surprise, actually surprised me too. Then she looked away for a second before looking back at me.

"That's....interesting." she said as the guards weren't happy with the answer I gave her.

"Your majesty y-y-you don't actually believe this creature do you" this asshole spoke in disbelief at her. Okay, he was starting to really piss me off now and the other guards looked like they wanted to run now as they saw me get angry at him.

"Well then, why don't we take a look inside his room and see what happened." Celestia then walked towards the broken door and went inside the hospital room. The dome I was in dissipated as well, causing the guards to tense at me being free. "relax everypony, Mr. Wright clearly isn't a threat, see to it you aren't a threat to him either" all the guards tensed at the princesses tone for they knew better than to disobey her which gave me smug smile at them all and a glare back from their leader again.

As we entered my hospital room I stared in surprise what happened. There was still quite a bit of water leaking down from the shower soaking the entire floor in the bathroom. And in the bathroom well....it wasn't really a bathroom anymore. The wall from the shower as I described collapsed exposing the pipes underneath.

"Now Mr. Wright I want you to take a look at this pipe and tell me what you see" Celestia looked at me from in the bathroom and I came in.

I wasn't quite sure why she wanted me to look at it, I'm not exactly the right guy to ask about this stuff but whatever. I entered the destroyed bathroom and approached the collapsed wall as I stood next to the princess staring at the pipes and the faucet on the floor next to her. I kept looking at them unsure what want me find under than the pipe bursted from within and the faucet was bent out of shape.

'Wait, what??'

I looked at the faucet on the floor, then reached down to pick it up for a closer look. The faucet wasn't just broken off, it was bent out from the top half of the pipe, meaning I didn't snap it off. Not to mention the metal cover for it was broken in half.

"No way, I have to have the strength of an ox to pull that off?" I said to myself out loud in surprise as if this transformation wasn't freaky enough already, I guess the new muscles I have were for more than show.

"Yes it appears your much stronger than originally anticipated, I admit I didn't see this outcome." she covered her mouth with a forehoof as she said this when I looked at her. This was far too stressful for me right now, I didn't even look at her as I left. "Jason?"

I finally looked back at her with an unhappy look "what is it you did to me exactly" I said accusingly glaring at her "tell me."

"Jason please, just let me-"

"NO YOU CAN'T JUST NOT TELL ME AND EXPECT ME TO BE OKAY WITH......with......THIS!" I widened my arms at her as I shouted angry that she's even doing this to me at all "NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD FINE WITH WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME AT ALL, NONE WHATSOEVER! NOW TELL ME RIGHT NOW OR I WALK, NAKED OR NOT!

"THAT'S IT!" lieutenant Slicer not happy I'm shouting at Celestia charged at me in rage. I turned at him as he jumped at me with his wing blades pointed at me and I raised my fist to his face.

"JASON, NO!" the princess shouted in her regular voice as another golden aura covered the pony as my fist made contact with the constructed shield covering his face. A huge shockwave from my fist making contact with the shield shattering sending me on my back as the lieutenant was sent flying out the room.

I stood up as quickly as I fell, staring at the guard pony landing on the floor unconscious from the blow as I raised my fist. Princess Celestia stared in shock at what just transpired, as she approached me. I didn't move without thinking about my actions I was this close to taking a life right in front of her.

And it absolutely terrified me.

"Jason?" she spoke noticing my expression as I stood, but I didn't even hear her say my name or even bother responding. I started trembling again as she came closer. All of what was happening came rushing back to me at once, my transformation, my arrival in Equestria, me fighting ponies and of course almost killing one. it was all too much. Not looking back I ran out the room, running away from this nightmare as I went down the hall.

I kept running even when I wasn't quite sure where I was going, all the hallways and doors looked similar to the ones I've been for what felt like a half hour. The castle was huge, bigger than any place I've been to, to the point it's starting to feel like I'm going in circles and i probably am.

I stopped and looked down at myself 'first things first, need to find me some clothes and avoid all the locals.' I'm surprised with how quickly I came used to my nudity. It really shows how great my new body feels despite all that happened.

I picked a hallway and ran down towards it. The first door I saw, I opened and went in closing it behind me. I appear to have entered what I can guess was a guest bedroom, from the bed in the middle against a wall to all the furniture in it. The bed was normal sized which I was grateful for because if it was a much bigger bed I would have most likely stumbled into princess Celestia's personal chambers. The wardrobe most likely had some clothes in there. However opening it I never thought things through on the problem I would have.

"Of course, pony clothes" all the clothes I could see were designed for ponies, not humans, so no way was that going to work out. I looked at the bed and that's when I had an idea 'I could use the bedsheets to make myself a cloak' I know the princess wasn't going to be happy with this, but at this point I could care less.

I went to the bed, took the sheets out of the bed and proceeded to wrap around until I heard a ripping sound.

I looked down at the sheet I put around my waist and saw a huge tear from the middle where I was tightening them.
Figured I'd do something like this thanks to my new strength. "Oh great, can this day get any worse?" I said tempting fate before realizing it...yay, go me.

A sound of a bunch of hooves came outside the door. I ducked under the bed, untying the sheets and stayed quiet, hoping they wouldn't come in 'thank you SO MUCH Murphy.' I thought hating myself right now.

I heard the hoof steps stop as they ran past the room I was in but I didn't breathe a sigh of relief yet. I then heard another pair of hooves stop at the door to my hiding place as I then hear it open. 'please don't look under the bed, PLEASE don't look under the bed' I didn't want to risk peeking from under the bed as that's another fate I won't tempt. I heard the door creak open but no one came in yet, my guess was that they were peeking into the room and looking around. I held my breath, being as quiet as much as possible.

They might just leave I was starting to think, but that hope dashed away as the pony finally came in. from the metal sounds I'm hearing with the hooves, it sounds like the metal of royal guard boots. The guard stood on the side of the bed on the opposite side of where I crawled under. I then risked turning my head and saw a pony ear poking out as the face of a mare guard looked under and right at me.

I was frozen as we looked at each other, when the guard moved her head left and right slightly. I stood stock still as she kept looking under the bed, not really looking at me anymore. Finally she lifted her head left and then went to the side I crawled under, she then stopped where the sheets I left on the floor were. I heard a slight hum come from her, then she walked further up the bed and I heard a door open on and she walked in.

I started getting slightly relieved but I wasn't out of the woods yet. While I'm still not wanting to tempt fate I can't let her find me. I slowly and quietly slid out from under the bed and snuck to the door. I reached my hand for the doorknob until I touched it.

"AH!" I froze. I couldn't see my hand at all, it was gone, completely gone.

I then heard the familiar sound of golden booted hooves rushing behind as I turned my head slowly looking at the guard mare right behind me. She must have heard me as she came back out to where I was standing, in a pose ready to attack. I awaited the inevitable confrontation by slowly turning towards her and lifting both my hands hopefully showing that I wasn't a threat to her as she glared at me. For a minute nothing happened, then I saw her eyes dart left and then right as she did earlier and even looked confused.

Now it was my turn to be confused 'why is she just standing there? She's acting weird like she can't.....can't?' I look down at my body again '...she....she can't see me!' I can still feel my hand but I can't see it '...I'm invisible!.....'as if this wasn't nuts in so many ways right now '.....I'M COMPLETELY INVISIBLE!!'

"Hnhh, still nothing" she said, she then went to door as I moved out of her way quietly and she left with the door closing. A wave of relief finally relaxed my beating heart as she was now gone.

"Phew too close there Jason" it was time for me to get back to making clothes with bed sheets.

It took a few minutes as I was being careful not to tear the sheets anymore now but I got it. They were comfy but looked like I was wearing a very bad dress the element of Generosity herself would die seeing. But at least I was now covered in some form of modesty now, so I didn't care about how bad it looked and I was really not letting anyone else see my junk either.

I opened the door back out to the hallway looking to make sure no one was there. I went down to my left hoping the hall would change down further. I walked this time much calmer now that I wasn't scared out of my mind now. I was still freaked out about this and still blaming Celestia for it. But at the same time, I was having second thoughts about it now. She was obviously planning on telling me later but things escalating as they did changed all that in a snap 'maybe if 'Slice your dick off' wasn't such a xenophobe I wouldn't have knocked him into a wall.'

"Yes, he shouldn't have, but you shouldn't have aggravated him either"

"Yeah right, the guy was asking for it"

"Even so, you must not let him get to you young Jason, that's just asking for trouble."

"Trouble!?, Guys like him are always trouble. It may have been my life's dream to come to Equestria, but I'm not taking shit from guys like him either."

Dreams aren't the same as reality.

"And what's that supposed to me-"

I stopped walking, looking around for anyone, nothing but the same hallway.

"WHO SAID THAT!?"I shouted in alarm, my eyes still searching the halls.

I did.

The voice sounded female, cold but sadistic and yet calm. It didn't sound like it was in one location, in fact it sounded like a voice I was hearing all around me. It definitely wasn't Celestia or her sister Luna although the voice sounded familiar "oh great, so now I'm hearing voices now, what else is going to happen?" I knew I was probably on the verge of losing it. the real question of the day is how much.

"Huh?" a cloud of purple mist started appearing all around me as I heard the mysterious voice speak again.

While it might be good idea for you to take it easy today, I assure Jason you are not losing your mind.

my mystery female voice spoke with some seriousness in it.

The mist was so thick I couldn't see where I was anymore. The mist blew all around me completely covering me head to toe until as quickly as it appeared, it vanished.

When the mist dissipated I was in a dark almost pitch black area, similar to the design of a cave. I then felt someone watching me from behind, so I turned to look who it was.

"It is time for us to have a proper conversation now, don't you think?"

The individual I saw smiled at me slightly. Another human? this caused my thoughts to go wild again as I saw who it was. The same elderly human woman I saw when I was dreaming, sitting in the center of a giant spiderweb even wearing the exact same dress like before. the very same woman I saw in a nineties cartoon show and comic books I read as a kid.

"Madam Webb!?"

Author's Note

And.....done the complete rebooted chapter. When I looked up the Ending original I was, as it turns out, expecting the sequel, Not the original. It urns out I never read the original at all and I always assumed Jason was around his early twenties when he was actually around his thirties, which was very dumb on my part but it also makes me happier that I rebooted this story. I also think this is a much better beginning chapter than the last one. There are probably a few mistakes on this chapter and I did correct the ones I saw and reread a few times to be sure it's accurate enough.
