An OC's Journey

In the begging there was me. I existed. I did not have a body but I had consciousness and that’s something to be thankful for because otherwise I wouldn’t exist. This is the tale of how I became a being. A pony to be precise.

At the start I was very confused. There was just black and my thoughts. I knew I existed but further than that I had no idea about anything. Then there was light. A blinding white light and a figure of beauty appeared.

She had long slender legs with a sleek body. On top of her head there was an enormous white horn that rose a good 2 foot into the air. At either side of her torso there were two white wings, and on her flank there was a depiction of the sun. At the time I did not know it but she would soon be the most important person in my life. She spoke to me,

“Hello there, I am Princess Celestia and welcome to the passage” she informed me calmly. I stared.

“Ah I am getting ahead of myself, you cannot talk can you”, I continued to stare. She laughed and continued. Her horn shimmered with light, and so did I, Celestia’s brow creased with concentration and a bead of sweat dripped down her forehead from the effort.

Eventually I began to start feeling things and continued looking at the Princess wondering what had happened.

“My gift to you”, she explained,

“A body. Look down and take a look”, I did so, I have no idea how I did it, it just instinctively happened. I looked at myself. A shimmering figure or a chest and two legs met my eyes, just behind the two legs were two more and a shimmering tail.

“You are now a pony, however you lack anything other than a body and a voice, this also goes for physical features and attributes. This will be enough to assist you on your journey”, Celestia explained calmly.

“Now I shall restore your memories”, and once again her horn glowed with light. As it did thoughts raced through my mind and then nothing.

=============================================================================================================

I awoke to see Celestia standing above me. Wait. Pause, rewind. I looked up.

“ERMERGERD CELERSTIA” I yelled, doing a poor intimidation of the meme. Celestia smiled.

“Hello again”, she said simply. I looked up at her confused,

“Again?” I asked.

“Yes again, this is your journey my child, your quest the task you took upon yourself since entering the Pony Creator”. I laughed in response.

“So you’re telling me that the Pony Creator on deviantart is now like, what the laser thingy out of TRON”, Celestia glared at me.

“I do not know of this TRON that you talk of but I guess you don’t want to be a pony then?” She said leading me on,

“Hey I just wanted to make an OC not get dragged-” I gestured around me “-here”, I finished. Celestia sighed.

“So you don’t want to be able to live in Equestria?” She asked me.

“I’m a Brony of course I do” I said simply.

“I’ll take that as a yes then.” She replied. “Very well then to business”. She magiked up two chairs and a desk and took a seat behind the desk and gestured towards the opposite chair. I sat down and looked at Celestia from across the desk.

“As you know you entered the Pony Creator to make an, as you call it, an OC”, she informed me.

“Yes-“ I replied “but what has this go to do with me being sent to Equestria”,

“Sometimes those with a very strong will to actually live in Equestria end up here, this is where they become a pony, one of my little ponies” she informed me.

“So how come I’m this white…thing?” I asked unsure what to call myself.

“Because in order to become a pony you need to go on a quest, to find out who you truly are, earn your cutie mark and discover if you will be an Earth Pony, Pegasus or Unicorn.”

“Okay so how does this work then?” I asked suspiciously.

“Simple through rebirth, you shall be reborn and relive your childhood in the realm of earning; however this does come with a price.” She warned me.

“Through rebirth all traces of me will be destroyed back home?” I guessed.

“Yes. This means you will never see your family again or your friends. You will retain some memories though. The ability to speak and walk also things you like dislike and small memories of your past life.” She answered.

   “Now you must begin your journey, I wish you the best of luck”. And with that Celestia disappeared with a flash of white light.

I woke up again. At this point I was fed up of waking up after going through light. I took in my surroundings.  As far as I could see there was a beautiful blue ocean sparkling in the sunlight. Then I looked down. This was a big mistake bellow me was a sheer cliff, with waves crashing against the rocks at the bottom.  I chuckled nervously and rubbed the back of my… I stopped. Since when was my hand all the way down there. Then I remembered what had happened with Celestia.

“Well this is going to take some getting used to” I sighed irritably. I looked back at the drop and backed back slowly, or at least tried to until I feel over and landed on my flank.

“Oh come on! You could at least have taught me how to walk!” I looked back at my hooves. “Just think of it like crawling” I told myself. I moved my right leg back, then my left, then the same with my forelegs until finally there was some distance between myself and the end of the cliff. I sighed in relief. Now all I had to do was figure out how to turn around…

Time Passes…

“Ha! Take that Celestia! I’m Oliver master of walking!”  I smiled with euphoria. After an age of falling over I had finally managed to figure out how to walk. My body was covered with marks and scratches but I was ecstatic with successes. I started to explore the island if this is where I’m supposed to become a pony then there must be someone or somewhere that I needed to go right?

I looked around at the rolling hills and took a deep breath.

“Ahhhh well at least the scenery is nice, unlike being in that stuffy old town” I had a goofy grin on my face, I eased back and ran as fast as I could forward letting out a wild laugh in joy. It was the first time I had been in the country side in years and it was great to be free out of the busy town that I lived in.

Eventually I came to the top off a steep hill and stop taking in my surroundings. This truly was a beautiful place. Just below the horizon was a clear blue strip of ocean, and before that I could see a river and more hills, a large area of grass land what looked to be a forest or woods. I looked around for some sort of building and finally noticed a large house at the side of the river just after the forest. It would be a long journey a good day of walking. I looked up at the sky. The sun was almost starting to lower below the horizon, soon it would be night.

“Right” I told myself “I had better get a move on then”, with that I started my long journey to the mysterious building.
