MANesfestations Of Equestria

The New World

Chapter 2 : Awakening

"What the fuck did I land on," I spoke aloud, trying to sit up, only to notice extreme pain in my ribs and back. After several spasms racking through me, I hear a faint voice trying to speak to me.

"Me, whatever you are," the purple horse I was sitting on mentioned. Waking up in a foreign place is never easy, especially for one like me. But when the first thing you see is a talking purple horse, waking is the only thing you think about.

"AGGGH, what the fuck, I must be dreaming," I screamed. That was not a wise idea, as it just brought on a whole other level of hurt.

As soon as I was off its back, rolling around in pain, something gripped me, holding me perfectly still, and lifted me too a bed in the middle of the room. Still in a daze from all the pain washing through me, I didn't notice whatever it was, the horse I mean, walking over and writing out a message that promptly disappeared. But how does that even happen. Even if it looked a little different, a horse is still a horse, and can't pick up writing utensils.

"I've just sent a message to Princess Celestia. Now whatever you are, stay put or I might have to hurt you," the horse said offhand. "If you cause me any trouble, I might not be able to stay my assistant."

And in walked a tiny purple dragon, holding what appeared to be a couple of notes, and a fork. However he walked straight over to the horse, to hand over the message.

Now I have to mention this, even though it seems odd to me, but this horse had what appeared to be a horn at the top of her head, covered by dark hair, with a pink and a lavender highlight. The horse turned to accept the messages, as I tried to move out of the bound knots that I just realized, were there and held me in place.

"Thank you Spike, I'll handle this now," it said in what I realize is a feminine voice. And as she moved back to me, I noticed one of the same peculiar symbols from my dream. However, with the gag and ropes, I couldn't really point that out. "Now creature, whatever you are, just wait here, and I'll come back in a bit."

When the horse was out of the room, I immediately tried to move around, and sit up, but fell on my stomach and passed out.

"Spike, what was that large thump?"

"I don't know, Twilight," Spike answered, confused and obviously tired.

"Well come on, we have to check out our guest and make sure it's okay," Twilight answered, proceeding to walk into the room, where her mystery guess was on the floor, surrounded by a red puddle that she thought might have stemmed from his mouth.

"What is that, paint?"

"No, I think it might be something else, and it sure smells weird in here, I think I might go to Sugarcube Corner to get something to eat." Spike replied eager to get something in the bottomless gorge he calls a stomach.

"Wait, I think...CALL CELESTIA, we have a serious problem on our hands."

As Spike whipped out a scroll, and writ out the message, and blew into a green flame that whisked out the door, Twilight ran off to three of the most talented pony healers she could find, requesting immediate assistance. When she got back from the run, she saw Celestia leaning over the body, the pool of red only bigger, and continuing. Without stopping to think, she told Celestia to whip out her best healing magics, and work on the body, to keep it from dying.

When the other three ponies walked into her place, only to see Twilight forgetting herself and commanding what appeared to be Celestia, they blushed, and bowed, and asked, along with Celestia, what Twilight was doing.

When she realized what she did she apologized and also bowed to Princess Celestia, only to forget her concern entirely. So, when Celestia asked what the matter was, she blushed and asked, "Huh?"

"I saiiid, What is the matter Twilight, to be called her so urgently, while I was attending important matters in the capital," Princess Celestia  questioned.

"Oh, uh, yes, the creature you asked me to summon, is gravely injured, as you can see, and needs immediate attention. It is bleeding out of six locations in its stomach and its mouth. As you can also see there are several protrusions from its stomach, that appear to be ribs in nature, and did not appear to be protruding when I first tied him up and put him on the couch, Twilight rambled.

"Well why didn't you say so dear. Rarity, I need you to seal up the wounds. Graphite, Thicken his blood, Bright Idea... Go home, I don't know why Twilight brought you here. And Twilight dear, help me pull his bones out of his lungs." Celestia ordered with a matter of fact grace.

As soon as the grim work was done, and it was all healed up...of a sorts, the creature started to breathe, and the unicorns sighed a sigh of relief and went home. Celestia however, stayed.

"Now Twilight, why did you call me here to heal up....whatever this was? And why was it in this state to begin with?"

As Twilight proceeded to explain that this... unpleasant thing, was the project, that Princess Celestia had asked for, and that the transdimensional creature, was in fact the weakened prime species of the other world she pulled it from last night. As she continued to explain all of what it had done so far, along with other odd observations she noticed from it. She explained that it had not talked yet, but showed increasing signs of aggression, pain and paranoia, and that she was waiting for Celestia and Luna's presence, before she began to interrogate the creature.

As the conversation continued on they noticed that whatever it was began to stir. As they helped it sit up, they removed the gag, and the creature began to groan.

"Ugggh, Where am I?"

"You are in my house in the middle of Equestria," The purple unicorn known as Twilight responded. "What are you?"

"Me? I'm Keros."
