A trip to a foreign land filled with... Ponies.

Chapter 3: The Shadow God

“TJ?”

“…”

“TJ!?”

“Wha!? What’s going on? Where am I?” I said snapping out of my trance.

‘Oh right… I’m in the land of magical talking horses…’

“Are you alright? You just stood there for ten minutes.” Twilight said.

“Huh? Oh yeah I’m fine it’s nothing.” I said hoping she wouldn’t tell I was lying.

“Hmm… Alright well I have to go send a letter to the princess saying that you are here.” Twilight said with a look of questioning on her face.

‘Wait… Celestia? Oh no… This can NOT end up going well for me.’

“Alright I’ll just wonder around a bit and try to get familiar with the surroundings.” I said as twilight began walking towards the library.

‘Hmm… This whole place looks EXACTLY like the show depicted it. Well I guess I’ll just find a place to relax.’

I decided to go find a bench to sit down for a while and think about what was going on. When I found a bench I was just about to sit down when…

“AHHHH!” Three voices screamed in unison.

“What? What’s going on!? Is someone hurt?” I said looking for the screaming.

I looked down to see none other than the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

“MONSTER!!!” They yelled as they ran off screaming.

‘Okay… that was wierd’ I thought.

I decided to sit on the bench for a bit so I could come up with some plans.

I sat there for what felt like hours thinking of how I got here and how I might be able to get back home. I eventually decided to stop thinking about that for a bit and start thinking about why ‘HE’ was here. As I began to think about it I started to doze off.

*****************************

BAM! I woke up to a loud noise in the kitchen. Curious of what it was I decided to get up and check it out.

When I reached the kitchen nothing had changed everything was where it was when I went to bed.

I went back up the stairs to my room. Once I was at the door I grabbed the door knob and immediately noticed something was off…

‘COLD!!!’ Was the only thought in my mind for a minute.

‘Why is this door so cold!?’

I decided to open the door to find out. Once I did I froze completely staring at what was in front of me.

Directly in front of me was a dark shadowy figure that seemed to radiate black coldness. As we stared at each other an evil grin appeared on his face and lashed out in front of me aiming straight for my head. As he did this I simply blinked and he was gone never to be seen again. Or so I thought…

*****************************

I woke up heart pounding a bit. I look around me to see I’m still in Ponyville on the same bench. Except there a few ponies around me just staring at me.

‘How long was I asleep for?’ I thought looking at the sun.

I had fallen asleep near noon and it had to be somewhere around 3-4 right now.

The ponies just kept staring at me as I began to sit up and look at the sun. I looked towards them wondering why they were staring at me.

“Uh… Hi?” I asked. No one responded and I sat there for a minute in silence.

“Why are you staring at me?” I finally asked. This time someone responded.

“We all wanted to know what you are!” Said a voice somewhere in the middle of the crowd.

“Uh… Well… I’m a human.” I said.

“What’s a human?” Said another voice in the crowd.

“Well… A human is kind of like you guys. We are sentient species of a planet called earth.” I said trying to explain what a human was.

They continued asking questions and I answered a few of them. Eventually I decided to go visit twilight and see if she got a reply from the princess yet.

I started walking towards the library. Which was a bit hard with all the ponies blocking the way. I finally made it out of the crowd and was almost at the library.

When I reached the library I knocked on the door and went inside. What I saw was Twilight and Celestia talking to each other.

They both immediately looked right at me.

“So… You must be the new human here… Correct?” Celestia asked looking me over.

“Uh… yeah that’s right.” I answered.

‘Okay… This is a little weird.’ I thought.

“Hmm… We have much to talk about.” Celestia said after she finished looking me over.

‘This can’t be good…’

“Alright. What do you wish to talk about?” I said.

“I wish to know about your planet and how you arrived here.” She said.

“Well… My planet is one known as earth. It only has one sentient species which are humans like myself.” I said going on about Planet Earth.

“As for how I got here I’m not entirely sure. The last thing that happened before my arrival here was I was driving home after a party when it began to storm. A flash of lightning appeared and I saw a dark shadowy figure run off towards some trees. Then I somehow crash into a tree. That’s when I heard Twilight call out for me and then I was in a hospital.” I explained to the princess.

“Hmm… I see.” Celestia said after thinking for a few moments.

“This shadowy figure you speak of. Have you seen it any other times besides then?”

I froze there for a minute thinking about the question.

“Well… I’ve seen him a few times back in my world as well as once in this world.” I said nervously.

“I see…” She said.

“We may be in grave danger then if what you say is true and the shadow god has been released.”
