Previous ChapterAuthor's Note
Hey look! I reused the original chapter title for chapter three!
I mean, you would know that if you've been reading the author's notes at the end of each chapter, you've been reading the author's notes, RIGHT!?
Something new.
It's been a while since Silver Spoon has been trapped in this endlessly yellow realm of the infinite gods. While she didn't really mind, being here and safe was far better than ever being anywhere near that, now very dead, monster.
And if Silver was being honest, given what happened with that monster, if she did ever return, she doesn't know if she could look at the everfree forest the same ever again.
Something interesting that Silver found out shortly after arriving, was that if she asked the 'computer' to translate its language, it would do so.
And so she's been spending most of her time on the 'computer' learning about it, the place she's in, and who created it.
Albeit very slowly, the controls were in fact not made for hooves. Who'd of guessed?
It's only been about a week since Silver arrived. Silver knows this both because the 'Computer' is able to tell time, but also thanks to a clock just above the door... And the alarm clock on the end table, it goes off at 8 AM every day.
Silver, with lots of time on her plate, learns some interesting things. For starters, she was the first living thing to discover this place other than the builders.
And that's the main thing, they DISCOVERED the place, sure they built inside it, but that doesn't mean everything in it was built by them.
As an example, The yellow gods. Apparently, they've been here since before time started in their universe. Or at least, that's what she read.
Also, the builders, as Silver likes to call them, simply because she wants to, and definitely not because she can't pronounce their species' name; built the building she is inside as a sort of bunker, a type of 'if reality starts to break' thing. Along with it being an 'In case they bring someone in here.'
Not that Silver really understood half the words she read, sure she could read, and try to pronounce them all day, but that doesn't mean she can comprehend them.
Especially the space-time stuff they keep talking about, that just goes right over Silver's head, but it's not her fault, It's not like she's in school, where you only need to pay half attention, she WANTS to learn more about this place, about the builders, and the Holy sentinels. (That's what the builders call them.)
Silver had to agree with the name, what with the golden rays of light, that literally burned away that monster.
She also tried to talk to one of the sentinels, but of course, it didn't respond to her at all. So, she's basically stuck here until.
A. The builders return and find her.
B. A sentinal decides to take her back home. (Does she even really want to leave?)
C. Something else happens???
D. Profit!
Anyway. So how does Silver know she's the only person here, along with the first one to discover it since the builders left? (She'll get to that soon.) Simple! The 'computer' Is connected to all the other ones, and they display how many occupants are active.
And of course, there is only one. Her.
And so, why did they leave? Simple, they got super borde, with the gods not doing anything for the entire duration of their stay here, and not really getting any science out of this place, they just up and left.
HOW they left, Silver was still figuring that out, along with how they got here. But from what Silver could find out, they used some sort of portal. Not like that of the sentinels, but something close.
And so, that's where Silver Spoon is at now. Wake up, eat breakfast, have a shower, maybe a bath, (Oh yeah, she also found a toothbrush luckily.) do some research for a few hours, eat lunch, do some cardio, and go jogging around the catwalks for about an hour. Give a pep talk to the sentinels before continuing on her journey, returning home to take another shower before having dinner and going to sleep.
And that's it, her daily routine thus far.
Luckily, if she ever got lost, which would be a big deal, due to her needing to keep her glasses safe at home, she just asks the catwalk to make a path to her home.
While Silver doesn't NEED her glasses, she still loves them dearly, and losing them to the infinite catwalks, or even worse, breaking them would be catastrophic, both because they are the only ones, but also because she sorta, kinda, just a teeny, tiny, little bit, can't actually see without them at all. Like sure, she could see, it would all just be very hazy.
The same goes for her jewelry, while she loved to look pretty, not that she wasn't without said jewelry on, she just didn't really want to wear it anymore, after all, it's not like anyone was here.
She was happy to find more mane ties, allowing her to keep her signature mane style. But she did keep her original in a safe spot, on top of the nightstand with the rest of her unreplaceable valuables.
