Chapters “Come on work, please work” was all i could say as I began to jostle and hit my flashlight, begging it to light up once more. My surroundings grew increasingly dark as the barrier of light my flashlight resinated burned out. Shadows began to leech their way along the walls, growing closer and closer to me.
The whispering began, barely audible as I furiously hit and slammed my flashlight. Slowly and frightfully the shadow like hands inched their way closer, but with a small stroke of luck my flashlight burst to life, resinating it’s bright life saving light. The shadows quickly withdrew to the corners of the room leaving me be.
“W... way to close” i muttered as i made my way to another large room, seeming to hold food and drinks. It was so dark, making out what kind of building this was, was seemingly impossible. It seems to be a market due to the collapsed aisles, throwing caution to the wind I began to scavange what i could from the mess of fallen aisles.
The store was ravanged, all i could get was a few sodas and three cans of tuna. “Damnit, oh well it’s food” i said loading up my bag with my new finds. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a small reflection, moving over to investigate I noticed that they were two AA batteries. In this world batteries were like gold. I quickly snatched them and stuffed them in my coat pocket. Looking back up to the mess I slowly made my way up to the front of the store.
Making one last once over of the store from where I stand it was proven that nothing was left. I turned away from the store and began Making my way through the dark streets and to continue on my to, I don’t know where. The shadows slowly encircled me, my only defense was my flashlight, without it they would take me.
“What kind of fucked up reality is this, one day everything is completely normal, and before you know it’s dark at 12pm and everyone you know is gone” I said to myself, hoping someone would hear. Of course no one would hear, their gone, the shadows took them.
Taking out my small notebook I scribbled some notes in. “Been somewhere around two weeks since this whole mess started. Haven’t seen anyone for I think three days now, so difficult to tell time when there is no day. Why did this all have to happen.” Seeing all that as fit I quickly put my notebook away continuing onward.
Walking for what seemed hours I finally came across a sight that seemed too good to be true, a light, not like the sun, but a street light not far away either. My pace quickened, going from a fast walk to a slow jog. The light grew brighter, as I grew closer. With my excitement i didn’t notice my flashlight slowly began to dim. I only noticed this as my surroundings began to darken.
Hands of darkness began to grow from my dark surroundings growing closer, with the new change in events I quickly sped up my pace, the whispering began to grow louder with the dimming flashlight. Finally only about ten feet away from the safety of the street light, at that same moment my flashlight finally burned out. In a last ditch effort to save myself I leaped towards the light. Feeling the icy cold grip of the shadows along my legs as i landed half in the light and half outside. The darkness began to pull as I resisted it's icy grip.
“Please let go, leave me alone” I whimpered in distress as i fought the icy pain that resinated within my lower body. With one last massive pull I managed to escape into the bright light. Breathing a sigh of relief I reached into my pocket and pulled out the batteries, quickly replacing the old spent ones in my flashlight. Deciding that there weren’t many options I might as well rest here.
Leaning up against the pole I drifted off into a dreamless slumber. Not noticing the flicker of the street light.
When I awoke It was still dark, not that it would be light, but darker than usual. Looking around I noticed that the circle of light that I lay in had significantly shrunk since I had last seen it. The whispering has returned and louder than ever as the light slowly dims I move to grab my flashlight. At that moment the Street lamp dims to a light flicker and then it’s gone.
I clicked the on button on my flashlight, nothing happened. Again it clicked, but no light. Now the shadows were closing in on me, tendrils of darkness grasped my now shaking legs in their freezing grasp.
“Please light please I beg you, I don’t want to die” I begged to the flashlight as the darkness had covered every part of me except my face. My body felt cold, numb, lifeless. As the darkness slowly clouded my vision. Everything stopped, and I was gone.
I was jolted awake by what felt like an electric shock, My eyes flew open to the sudden burst of energy to be greeted with darkness once again. slowly moving my arms and legs I began to get back up.
“Oww my head where am... Oh shit darkness, where’s my flashlight” I screamed scrambling around to find my life saving light. “Wait, there’s no whispering, the shadows aren’t moving” I said slowly calming down to notice that the killer darkness was gone. Finally realizing this I began to scan my surroundings, I was in a forest of some kind. Not like the ones back home, but much more dense and menesing, but yet oddly cartoonish.
“Where the hell am I, and where’s my stuff” I said looking down and searching for my backpack and flashlight. Not long after my search i found my flashlight in a nearby bush. Brushing it off i took out the batteries and realized why it wouldn’t light, I put the batteries in wrong. Quickly putting them in correctly I snapped it on with a satisfying click, the light burst to life growing slightly more sure about my situation I got back up.
“Now time to find my backpack” I said looking up into the trees. Like magic it just appeared stuck on a limb. Oh this should be fun a muttered to myself as i began my ascent into the tree.
“Crap, oww that hurts” I muttered to myself as I got up from my position, turns out falling out of trees sucks. Well no sense in wasting time might as well get moving. With that I began my trek through the dense woods. The uneasy feeling of being watched began to creep upon me, and since it’s not the darkness watching me, what is it.
What seemed like hours of hiking through the dense bush has led me nowhere. The trees never seemed to end and the darkness wasn’t helping either. I decided to pack up my flashlight not wanting to waste my batteries.
As i continued onward I happened to come upon a small clearing. Not wanting to waste my energy i kept up my pace and was soon enough at the heart of the grassy sanctuary. I cast my gaze over to the horizon and noticed a small amount of light. Waiting only granted me more light until the entire world was rid of the darkness that i had come to know and is now bathed in the soft warm glow of the sun.
“It’s finally over” I said out loud, with my changing luck I scanned the area, and with luck found a small trail leading back into the trees. Not seeing any other option I followed the trail back into the dense forest.
After several minutes of hiking the forest began to thin out. Slowly at first, but gradually quicker as i continued onward. The sun was now creeping it’s way up the sky, sending warm beams of light through the forest canopy.
Eventually the trees began to space out, out in the distance the silhouettes of buildings came into view, I began to run quickly reaching the tree line.
I cast my gaze over the town to be greeted with a weird and disturbing surprise. I jumped into the nearest bush to prove if my hunch was correct. From my new hiding spot I looked once more at the small town. It’s inhabitance were brightly colored ponies.
"Well shit looks like i'm dead." was all I could mouth out as I stared blankly at the scene before me. Deadly shadows and evil darkness is one thing, but a whole town of talking ponies is in a whole new category of weird. As I continued to watch them walk around their small town I began to notice things. For one some of these things can fly, they have wings. Not just that but others have horns.
One of these horned ponies caught my eye. It had a light purple with an even darker purple mane, it also had a lighter shade of pink flowing through it's hair as well. But that's not even close to the most striking feature, right in front of it was a pile of books, yet they were floating, covered in some kind of purple aurora.
Looking away from it I noticed two other ponies. One of them had wings and other seemed normalish, the winged one had a cyan coat with a rainbow mane. The other one well, was pink nothing but pink. They seemed to be talking, about what I don't know but talking.
"Since when can horses talk" I whispered to myself as I stare in awe at the whole town. None of this makes sense, how can I even be here. Last thing I remember is the darkness and the cold, the deep piercing cold. Thinking of this sent shivers down my spine as I pulled myself back to reality.
Now I could hear voices, they seemed childish, as though they belonged to young girls. Scanning the area revealed nothing, yet the voices grew louder and the words became audible. With a little more looking I finally found their source. Not even twenty feet away where three smaller ponies. This sudden realization made me cringe as they continued up the hill directly in front of my position.
"I'm telling you girls I saw the bushes shaking up here" said one of the ponies. It had a orange coat with a pinkish like mane, not to mention wings.
"Are you sure Scootaloo, I mean for all we know it could be dangerous" said one of the other ponies. This one had a horn, with a deep snow white coat and a light purple mane.
"Yea Scoots, for all we know it could be ah pack of timber wolves" said the last pony. This one seemed to be lacking wings and a horn. It had a yellow coat with red hair, not just that but it had a large red bow on it's head.
"Aww come on were almost there" said Scootaloo as she stopped a good 5 feet away from my bush. The two other ponies stopped on either side of her and continued to stare at my hiding place.
"Well i'm officialy screwed now" I thought to myself as the three curious ponies slowly cam forward, none of them muttered a word to each other as they stopped inches away from me. Their large eyes fixated on the bush.
"Ah think I can see something in there" said the yellow pony.
"I think I can to" said the white unicorn.
Without even thinking I burst out of the bush and ran straight past the three young ponies. They immediately fell to the ground and began to scream alerting all other ponies in town. Running and hiding was all I could do as larger ponies with armor began to run and fly in my direction. My vision was blurred by how fast I began to run. Quickly running on the outskirts of the town.
Looking up revealed three pegasi closing in on me. One quickly dive bombed me and swiftly kicked me in the side sending me flying. I quickly recovered, but not quick enough, I was now surrounded on all sides by these ponies. They all seemed shocked, scared even. Finally one spoke up, all it said was "what in the name of Celestia are you". By now a crowd had begun to form around us.
Saying nothing back I quickly ran at one of the guards, but was just as quickly stopped by some invisible force. All I could see was a weird like force field around me and around the horn of the guard I was charging at. Slowly I felt my eyelids begin to droop as a weird sensation of fatigue hit me and boom just like that I was asleep.
“Why am I shackled in a corner” was my first thought when I had finally awoke. I was in some kind of dungeon and of course was shackled to one of the corners. There were no windows, and only one large iron door. My restrains seemed loose, as though they weren’t meant for someone with a wrist. With a little maneuvering I was able to slide them right off.
There wasn’t much to see inside of my small prison, just a lot of cobblestone and some moss. Finally taking in my surroundings I noticed the door begin to open, showing two of those armored ponies. The room I was in was so dark that they didn’t even notice that I had snuck out of my bonds.
“So what do you think this thing is” said one of the guards motioning towards the door in caution.
“Dunno but I think… wait where is it” said the other guard looking to all corners of the room frantically.
Wearing dark cloths always did have its benefits. While the two guards inspected every inch of the room I took the only chance I had to run. Kicking off the wall I sprinted out of my cell, closing the door on my way out, locking the guards inside.
“Hey get back here, some pony stop that thing” the yelled in unison at me. Luckily no one was around to hear their yelling.
This dungeon seems medieval, not to mention like a maze, getting lost in here is easy. Then again I don’t know how I got in here in the first place. Running aimlessly finally led to a stair case leading up at the top of the stairs was a large wooden door. I could begin to hear the sound of yelling coming from behind.
“Where the buck is that thing” said a loud gruff voice
“We don’t know sir it took off and locked us in here”
“Well don’t just stand around, find it now”
“Yes sir” said the two guards in unison.
“I will inform the princesses of our current situation” said the loud gruff voice.
The sound hooves grew louder, “only one choice now, up” I whispered to myself as I sprinted up the stairs. Praying that the door wasn’t locked I slowly and easily began to push. With luck it wasn’t locked and began to budge ever so slightly.
“Stop right there creature” said the same voice from before. Peering down from the stairs I noticed a ragged jet black pony with a black and greying mane. He began to run, as did I, throwing open the door I sprinted through, not caring what lye on the other side.
What I saw next surprised me, the innards of a large throne room. Within were many more guards, wielding spears.
“Fuck me, can this day get any worse” I thought to myself as I ran straight across and into another hallway. There were other ponies around, wearing what looked like maids outfits. The yelling behind me only intensified, until a large silvery white barrier came in between me and another hallway. Running into it felt like running head on into a brick wall.
I fell hard to the ground, clenching my head in pain, as an excruciating headache crept upon me. Again my world began to fade into darkness, I caught a glimpse of what looked like a large white horse it had both wings and a horn. Soon after I was gone once more, into a dreamless slumber.
I awoke one more, not in a cell this time. Instead I lay in a soft be, a small throbbing pain still leeched through my head causing me to get dizzy.
“Aww, look who’s finally awake” said a voice from the far end of the room. Since it was now night only a portion of the room was lit by the moonlight. I could see nothing just pitch black darkness.
“Wh… who’s there” I stammered out trying to lean up.
“Just a friend, you need rest” said the voice once again, finally distinguishing the voice, it sounded female.
“Well show yourself at least” I said on the verge of vomiting.
“All In due time, right now you must sleep” after her sentence a small dull blue glow came to life in one of the corners. “Shh sleep now” was the last thing I heard until I was once again asleep.
Images began to float through my head, having to watch people being taken away from their loved ones, by that damned darkness. The icy pain one again returned, as though someone was stabbing me with frozen needles. I began to scream for it to end, make the darkness go away. As though on queue the pain ended, all the darkness was gone and is now replaced with a bright comforting light.
Making my way over to the light only granted me more comfort, so close but yet so far away. Again as if on cue, I was pulled out and awoke to a bright light.
“Gahh so bright” I whined covering my face with the soft blankets. My head no longer had that dull throbbing pain that it had once had, I no longer felt like vomiting on the spot. With my new found comfort I pulled of the sheets and climbed out of bed. Strangely enough all of my clothes were gone and I was only left in my boxers.
Looking around I found all of my cloths neatly stacked on a dresser. “Relax no one is around to watch you” I said to myself as I tiptoed over and quickly got dressed. My backpack also lay next to my cloths, still carrying everything I had packed. “Alright time to take stock” I said to myself emptying my backpack.
“Wait glass orb” I said taking a better look at the completely black sphere. It was cold to the touch, realizing how cold it was I quickly dropped it. Expecting it to break I moved, as not to get any glass shards in my shoes. Surprisingly it just clanged off the ground sand rolled to the door.
“Weird” I sighed to myself quickly picking it up and dropping it in my backpack with the rest of my supplies. Slinging my backpack over my shoulder I began walking towards the door, I began to turn the handle, only to realize that the door was locked from the outside.
“Hmm how else can I get out” I said thinking, only other way out seems to be the windows and I’m not about to fall 4 stories to my death thank you very much. Looking out the window I didn’t notice the door slowly creaking open.
“Well good morning” said a soothing voice from behind. I quickly spun around and saw the same large white horse thing. “Oh sorry, didn’t mean to startle you” she said once again walking further into the room.
“Umm, it’s alright, what exactly are you” I said backing up further, at this point I was now leaning against the windows.
“Pardon me for not explaining myself, my name is Princess Celestia, and I am an Alicorn. What are you creature” She said with such a peaceful tone, it put all of my worries at ease.
“I’m a human and as for my name you don’t need to know, just call me Griffin” I said back, still unsure of my situation, she might have a soothing voice, but she could still be dangerous
“Very well, pleased to make your acquaintance Griffin, now please follow me” she said walking back towards the door.
“But” I was quickly cut off by a loud shatter, and was quickly thrown to the ground.
“Princess I caught the creature” said a voice above me.
“Not for long you don’t” I yelled back, reaching over my back and grabbing whatever was on my back. I quickly threw it over my back and pinned it against the ground. It was one of those winged ponies. I didn’t seem very large only coming up to about my lower chest in size. “Don’t move” Was all I said as the pony squirmed under my grasp.
Looking up from my captive I noticed one large spear hovering directly above my face. The pony wielding the spear had a white coat with a blue mane.
“I suggest you let my soldier go now, creature” every word containing hatred.
I begrudgingly obliged, loosening my grip on the winged pony. He quickly scampered away behind the line of spears that now point in my general direction.
“Enough Shining Armor” said Celestia running back into the room.
“But your majesty, this creature attacked one of my guards” Shining armor retorted.
“If I may int” I was about to say until Shining Armor cut me off
“Keep your mouth shut beast” He yelled back pushing the spear to my forehead.
“Enough shining let him speak” said the Princess giving me a wink.
“As I was saying, you guard attacked me. This window is broken because he smashed through it and threw me to the ground” I said putting extra emphasis on the fact that I as innocent.
“Well, umm, that doesn’t explain why you pinned him”
“Self-defense, it’s my instincts”
“Fine, by I’ve got my eye on you creature” with that Shining Armor called off his troops and exited the room.
“I am so sorry about what happened” said Celestia, almost mortified, but just as quickly regained her composure.
“It’s alright let’s just go” I grumbled back, allowing her to take the lead.
We just seemed to be walking down the hallways aimlessly, along the way any pony we say would cower in fear, or run. Am I really that terrifying to them, then again I am twice their size. The Princess herself only reaches my chin, not counting her horn.
“So, where are we going” I said trying to strike up a conversation.
“We are heading to the throne room, so I may introduce you to my sister Luna, and the elements of harmony.” She said back with a small smirk.
“Alright then” was the last thing I said, the rest of the walk was short and rather entertaining, watching all of the maids and servants run and cower at my site was pretty funny. Finally we stopped at two very large doors.
“Please Griffin wait here until I tell you when to enter” she said opening the door with her telekinesis. Before I could even answer she had already entered the room and closed the door.
“Fine I’ll just wait here then, I guess” I said standing awkwardly against the wall next to the door.
“Damn how long do I have to wait” I moaned to myself, it had now been at least ten minutes. Finally after some time, I could hear the Princess shout “Come in”.
“Well here goes nothing” I whispered to myself, pushing the door open and gazing into the room. What I saw before me was another Alicorn, yet this one was slightly smaller than Celestia, it had a dark blue coat, with an even darker mane, it’s mane had white specks that seemed to resemble stars. Weirdest part was that it flowed freely looking at the Princess I also noticed her mane did the same thing.
Looking to the side of the dark Alicorn I noticed six other ponies. Two of which I recognized from spying on the town earlier, the pink one and the lavender one. As I came forward they all visibly cringed, one of them even passed out. It was butter yellow and had a long flowing pink mane. When I finally came before them they seemed to gawp and gasp at my form.
“Princess, what is this creature” said the lavender pony finally breaking the awkward silence.
“I believe he can answer your question” said the Princess motioning towards me.
All of the pony’s stares landed upon me once more. Except for one, it seemed more interested in my clothes than anything else.
“Umm of course, I’m a human, but just call me Griffin” I said trying to not seem shy.
This made the ponies gasp once again; it even made the lavender one’s jaw drop.
With saying this, the pink one launched up and landed on me, her momentum throwing my down to the ground.
“HIMYNAMESPINKIEPIEIALWAYSWANTEDTOTALKTOANALIENOHIHAVETOTHROWYOUAWELCOMETOEQUESTRIAPARTYITWILLBESOMUCHFUN” she said at the speed that can only be matched to the speed of a bullet.
“Pinkie get off of it, it might be dangerous” said a cyan colored pony; she also had the most colorful mane I had seen so far. She had every color of the rainbow in her mane.
“No silly, see he friendly” she said poking my nose with my hoof.
“I’m not going to attack anyone alright, if I was going to I would have already” I said pushing the pink mess off of me.
“Yawl mean any pony” said an orange pony with a blond mane
“Whatever” I said ”now can we please get introductions over with, I’m starving over here” I said clenching my stomach.
“Of course, Luna you may introduce you’re self, I know how badly you have wanted to meet our new guest” said Celestia motioning the smaller Alicorn forward.
Luna seemed to sqee as she trotted up to me. “Hello human, I am Princess Luna, Princess of the night. I look forward to conversing with you more as time goes on” she said with a noticeable wink as she walked back beside Celestia.
The next pony forward was Twilight “Greetings, my name is Twilight Sparkle. I cannot wait until you teach me more about humans, and human social norms.” She said, quickly trotting back to her place in the line
Up next was the rainbow manned pony, she seemed to have a determined yet worried look “Listen chump, the names Rainbow Dash, and I’ve got my eyes on you” she said, she quickly took off with her wings.
Up next was the Orange one “Well howdy, mah names Apple Jack, pleasure ta make yer acquaintance Griffin” Applejack said out stretching her hood, I quickly fist bumped her hoof as she made her way back into line.
Next was the one who seemed so keen on inspecting my clothes “Well hello there darling, my name is Rarity and I must ask, why do you wear so much black.” She said with a quizzical look.
“I use it to hide in the dark” I said bluntly
“Oh, well then darling you must stop by my boutique, I will make you some fabulous” she said while she fell back into her rank in line.
The pink demon was next. She quickly began to trot up but was quickly halted when I said. “Pinkie Pie, I already know your name, and yes I would love to come to one of your parties.” By the time I had finished my sentence, it seemed her sugar rush had kicked into overdrive, because now she was bouncing off the walls, literally she bound from one wall to another.
Last but not least was the yellow pony. She seemed very timid as she walked up to me. Trying to make her feel more comfortable I got down on my knees and came to eye level with her.
“It’s alright, there is nothing to be scared of” I said as softly as possible, she seemed to relax a little now and got a more determined look.
“M.. my names Fluttershy and would you like to help me with my animals sometime” she said squeeing out at the end, she turned away, with a blush more than recognizable on her face.
“I would love to help you with you animals Fluttershy” I said giving her a small hug, with that last bit she walked back to her friends.
“Well now that introductions are over with, I believe that we can get to breakfast” said Celestia motioning for the whole group down a hallway.
“So Griffin, anything that you want especially made, we know nothing of your diet” said Celestia as we walked into the dining room.
“No thanks, I’ll just have one of my cans of fish” I said fishing out a can of tuna. Right then everything went silent, the sound of hoof steps had stopped. I looked up from the can and saw the looks on the faces of the ponies around me. They seemed to be a mix of shock and disgust.
“What did I say?”
Alright, so apparently eating meat or meat products around ponies here is greatly frowned upon. It took a great deal of teaching and convincing for the ponies to even allow me to eat my can of tuna. Although it tasted like shit it was still food, and besides for all I know this pony food could be deadly.
“So, ah remind me again, why do humans have to eat meat” said Applejack from all the way across the room, seeming still unsure of my carnivorous pallet.
“I’ve already told you, it supplies us with valuable nutrients that fruit and vegetables can’t provide for us, relax I’m not going to eat any of you, I promise” I said holding my hand to my chest, trying to sound as sincere as possible.
“Do you Pinkie promise” said Pinkie seeming to pop out of thin air.
“Umm, yea whatever”
“No silly, repeat after me, cross your heart and hope to fly stick a cupcake in my eye” She said while doing specific movements as she rambled on.
“Do I have too?”
“Yes” all of the ponies including the Princesses said in unison.
“Fine, cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye, there you happy”
“Yes, now don’t break a Pinkie promise, or I’ll have to destroy you” said Pinkie trotting back to her place at the dining room table.
“What’s that supposed to mean” I said looking across the table, the only pony that looked up was Applejack.
“Yawl don’t want to know, just don’t break it” she said looking down at the table, seeming to be attempting not to cower from the pink pony.
The rest of the day went great, I got the grand tour of the castle, found out that the winged, and horned ponies were called, unicorns and pegasi, the girls seemed to lighten up a bit as the day went on as well, finally getting used to my alien form. The Princesses both gave me a grand tour of their spectacular castle. In this world it seems that everything is run by magic, hell the Princesses even said that they raise the sun and moon. This world isn’t real; it can’t be real, can it?
“So, Princess Celestia, where will I be staying for the night?”
“Oh hush with the formalities and Here of course” she said emphasizing here.
“Well no duh here, but where exactly.”
“You will be shown to your room when the time comes.”
“Fair enough” I said with a small shrug.
“Anyways before then my sister and I have a few question we would like to ask” Said the Princess. The hallway that we had been walking down seemed to get much narrower. At the very end were two large doors, of course guarded by two unicorn guards.
“What kind of questions” I said trying to hide the nervousness in my voice.
“Simple questions, nothing to big” she said once again.
“Good afternoon you highness, would you like to enter the observatory” said one of the guards, guarding the double doors.
“That I would, oh and allow the human passage as well, he must be questioned” said Celestia motioning back to me.
“Of course your highness” said both the guards quickly opening the large double doors allowing us entrance.
As we entered the large room, I could not help but notice the two guards staring at me as we entered. It was only when the doors closed that I felt their judgmental stares leave me. I now get a good look at the massive observatory, the ceiling seems to be nothing but a large glass dome, books and spare parts lined the wall. Along with a large balcony that houses one large telescope. Not to mention the two couches that lie in the middle of room.
Sitting on one of the couches was of course Luna, and surprisingly Twilight with a quill and scroll in hoof.
“Welcome Griffin, please take a seat” said Luna motioning towards the still empty couch. She seemed to be trying to bottle her excitement, I say try lightly, as it seemed she was about to self-destruct due to how excited she looked.
“Alright, let’s just get this over with” I said walking over to the couch and plopping down upon one of the cushions, much more soft than I would have thought. Celestia took a seat in between Twilight and Luna.
“Alright first question, where do you come from” said twilight looking over at me from where she sat.
“A planet called earth” as I said this memories began to flow through me, all of what happened before the darkness came.
“From earth, got it, question two how did you end up here.”
I could not think of any better way to answer that question except by saying “The darkness sent me here.”
“What’s the darkness” asked Luna with a now concerned look, apparently the pain I held back from the darkness was evident throughout my facial features.
“I would rather not talk about it; all I will say is that it took everything from me.”
The Princesses and Twilight seemed worried but understood.
“Question 3, why do you wear clothes” said Twilight, at this everyone or should I say every pony in the room leaned in, guess they were really interested in why I always wore clothes.
“*sigh* so we don’t get cold, also we humans have some parts that we would rather keep hidden, how many more questions do you have.”
Twilight began to look through her now multiple scrolls “Hmm, about ninety three” she said beaming.
“Oh just fucking perfect” I whispered to myself.
The questioning seemed to go on for much longer than expected; Luna was still giddy until she got to ask her question. I don’t know what came over her, but all she asked was “Do you have a special some pony back from where you’re from” all I did was say no and then she went absolutely ballistic, enough so that it would make Pinkie impressed.
“I think that’s enough questions for now” said Celestia getting up from where she stood, “Luna, can you please raise the moon now” up until this point I thought the Princesses were just messing with me about the whole rising sun and moon thing.
“Of course” said Luna getting up to her hooves, her horn began to glow a light blue, and with it I noticed the moon rising in the background.
“Well I’ll be a son of a bitch, you ponies weren’t kidding. You actually just raised the freaking moon” I screamed in disbelief, everything that I had been taught about the sun and moon back home, just went right down the toilet, including my sanity.
“Can I please be shown to my room, I really need some sleep.” I said in a hushed whisper, as I tried to comprehend what I had just seen.
“Of course, but I must ask Griffin, are you alright” said Celestia, in her usual motherly tone. Except now there was no playfulness in her voice, all that was left was a concerned frown.
“I should be later, but I really have to think, now please Princess show me to my room”
“As you wish” she said once more slowly coming up to me, she draped one of her wings around me as if to comfort me, I hardly helped, as there was a mental war being waged in my head.
The Princess of the sun escorted me to another room, almost identical to the last. We made it to the door and we said our good byes, I told her I would be fine, just for her to wake me up in the morning. I would sort all these problems out myself. Realizing that I was also very tired I jumped on the bed, not even slipping in between the blankets before I was out.
What I didn’t notice was my backpack lying right next to the bed; it was glowing, glowing a dark black. Whispers began to play in my mind as the last of my consciousness slipped away into sleep.
To anyone who is still interested in this story I am sorry to tell you that I have run into a block. Alot of the ideas I was coming up with in this story have alrady been done, the story will continue but at a later date, no worries i'm not just going to stop here, also the other chapters need revising. Thank you for understanding.
