Darkfire Universe: Arrival Remake

I wake up in a small room and examine my surroundings. To my left is a dresser and a bookcase. I am laying on a small bed with purple sheets with stars on them. A small window is to my right, and on the wall opposite my bed, there is a door.

I pull off the sheets, stand up, and stretch. I turn to the window and take a glance outside. It is night. There are small wooden houses, with a couple of strange buildings standing out.

I glance down and see two equines galloping down the street. I blink, as I had seen something strange. When I look again, I find my eyes weren't lying! The gray mare with a blond mane had wings, and the brown stallion had a green tie and a top hat! I pull back from the window. That's odd.

I look over the room again, and focus on the bookcase. Until the person who let me sleep here comes in, I guess I'll read a book! I peruse the collection, which mainly had subjects about equines and magic. Okay, that's strange. I decide on a series of books called 'Daring Do'. I open the book and find that it is about a Pegasus adventurer.

As I finish the second book, I hear a knock at the door. A female voice asks, "Are you awake? If so, I brought you some food."

"Yes," I reply. "I'm awake. Come in." The door opens, and I rub my eyes, trying to comprehend what I see. On the other side of the door is a purple Unicorn, using what I assume is magic to levitate a tray with hay, lettuce, and an apple. On the Unicorn's flank is a six-point star."You're a Unicorn! Okay, that's stranger than everything else I've seen!"

The Unicorn immediately starts asking me questions. "Who are you? What are you? Where are you from? What are those things on your-" I hold a hand up, signalling her to stop.

"I'm just as confused as you. Before I answer your questions, I'm starving. Can I eat first?"

One hour later, Twilight (the Unicorn) and I are sitting by a fire. "Okay," I begin, "to answer your first question, I am Darkfire. I am assuming, from your second question, that there are no humans here. I am a human with extra powers. I can actually control shadows." I wap myself in shadows to demonstrate, startling Twilight. "I am also a hero who protects other humans from villains." She nods, so I continue.

"I am from a place called Earth. I lead other heroes in defeating villains. Oh, yeah. The things on my'hoof'- which us humans call hands- are fingers. They are like..." I think of a way to compare them. "Oh, yes! You know your dragon assistant's claws?" she nods. "My fingers are like his claws. Now, I have some questions. Where am I, who lives in this world, and can I speak to the leader of this village?"

Twilight smiles. "Well, you are in the town of Ponyville, in the land of Equestria. Ponies are the dominant species in this country, but there are many other creatures, like Zebras, dragons, and Griffins. And to answer your last question, no, you can't. Mayor Mare is away on official business."

After learning more about this land, Twilight offers to introduce me to a few of her friends. She pulls a strange necklace from her closet. "What's that?" I ask her.

She smiles. "It's a special pendant that allows you to become a different pony. I hope it works for you. Now, put it on!" I put it on, and I turn into a black Pegasus with a red mane and tail. The mark on my rump is a shield with two swords crossed behind it. "Yes!" she says happily. "Now, come on! Let's go introduceyou tomy friends!" We step out of the library, and immediately, pink fills my vision.
