What Makes Me Special

We soon arrive in a town as the sun is setting and head towards what looks like a huge tree house. As Big Mac was knocking on the door I look around to see an abandoned ghost town with nobody in it. All the lights in the houses are off and most of the windows have been boarded shut. I'm pulled from my thoughts by the sound of another voice belonging to a female. I turn around to see Big Mac talking to a purple unicorn.

"First ponies talk to me, now I come face to face with a unicorn. What's next, Dragons?!" I soon regret the thought and know that it will come back to haunt me later.

"So the name is Rodney right?" Observing her further I notice her dark sapphire mane, marked with a strip of violet and pink. The mark on her flank being a cluster of white six pointed stars surrounding a huge pink one.

"Rodney?" Once again I am brought from my thoughts and come back to reality to see both Big Mac and the lavender mare staring at me instantly causing some discomfort.

"Sorry about that, I tend to zone out at times."

"It's alright, my name is Twilight Sparkle by the way. If you don't mind I would like to ask you some questions." A look of interest and fascination withheld on her face showing her curiosity towards me.

"Sure thing, though I don't remember much I will try my best to answer them." Satisfied by my response she wishes Big Mac farewell and thanks him for his generosity. With a simple "Eeyup" he was off and I was invited inside by Twilight. From inside the tree looks so much bigger and appears to be some sort of a library. Yet unexpected it wasn't shocking compared to previous occurrences in this world. The walls are lined with numerous bookshelves holding pieces of literature of varying sizes. Towards the back is another room probably leading to more books. To the left is a staircase built against the outer wall of the tree, curving along with it allowing access to a balcony overhead containing who knows what but irrelevant to me at the moment as I remark

"You have quite the collection of books here." She smiles back at me while taking what I said as a compliment.

"Thanks, reading is my favorite way to pass the time so what better place to work than a library." She says as she chuckles to herself, and with that she guides me to a green sofa at the end of the room.

"Make yourself comfortable Rodney, I have so many questions to ask you." As I sit down it feels like I'm resting on a cloud as I melt into its comfort.

"So Rodney where are you from?"

I mentally face palm as I think "Typical question to start with, should have seen it coming." Out loud I answer

"Sorry Twilight but I don't remember obvious things like that. Just my name, how to speak, and what happened recently." Troubled by my statement her gaze drops to the floor as she thinks of a solution. Within seconds a smile grows on her face and I light bulb appears above her head. No seriously a light bulb is now floating over her head. While I sit there with my lower jaw on the floor and a finger pointing to the bulb in astonishment she continues.

"There is a spell that I know that will allow you into your own subconscious. While there you can access parts of your mind that have been lost and forgotten, mainly being memories and past experiences." I quickly get over the whole light bulb incident and listen to what she is telling me.

"Sounds good to me."

"I've never done this before but don't worry. I have the spell memorized and it doesn't look that difficult." Worried about this I ask

"Wait so this will be your first time trying out the spell?"

"Uh huhh... like I said though, I have it memorized so don't worry." I begin to shift nervously in my seat, sinking little by little into the green sofa with every movement.

Surrounded by pure darkness I find myself confused and alone. As I walk nothing changes, only the sound of my footsteps being present. Out of nowhere I collide with what felt like a wall, sumbling backwards as a loud thud echoes through the abyss. Looking back to the invisible wall I see a chain reaction of square panels flipping over, starting from the point of impact and spreading outward. As my surroundings are revealed to me like an unfinished puzzle, a door now stands infront of me. I turn around to see a long corridor unfolding itself before me, continuing on until the end is just a speck of dust. On either side of the hall are walls covered with doors giving off the appearance of an expensive hotel. The floor is coated with a deep blue carpet outlined in green towards the walls. The walls themselves are white, illuminating the hall even at its low light level. Staring out in awe at the immediate change of enviroment throws you off as you try to grasp your bearings. Returning my attention to the door behind me I notice a name plate with the words Subconsious etched into them, go figure.

"Twilight wasn't kidding." I mumble through slightly parted lips as I reatch for the doorknob. I lightly grasp the door doorknob and prepare myself for what lies beyond it. I twist my hand only to have the knob not budge and I realize that it's locked. I hear a light ring sound off from behind me as something drops to the floor. I turn my head and search the hall for whatever caused the noise but nothing is there. I look down to the ground next to me and find a black skeleton key.

"Well things could be alot worse."Knowing that it wasn't there before I pick it up and use it on the stubborn door. I turn the key and hear the tublers line up and let out a satisfying click. With that I open the door and are consumed by a blinding white light.
