A Room with Many Doors

Previous Chapter

Darkness, that's all I see around me. I'm surrounded by it. My vision sees only black. I watch the darkness and I believe it watches me.

"Hello?" I call out....nothing. "Hello?" I call again. It appears the room I'm in appears to be expanding since the echoes are growing longer.

"I just sit there, it's not like i could move anywhere anyway. Who knows what I will walk into. I could fall deeper into this...this...whatever this is!!

I try to walk forward but only to feel something pull my leg back. Suddenly, I feel my entire body slam into a wall, hard. I am trapped. I hear footsteps growing closer.

*Clap Clap Clap* "Congratulations!" Is that...no..It can't be. "You've passed the examination."

I want to speak but I'm too afraid speak. "Ex..Examination?" I ask.

"Yes my Dear.." Why does that voice sound so familiar? "And you also have won a prize."

"Wh..What prize d..did I win?" I ask, trembling with fear.

"You've won your vision back!" Suddenly a great flash of light blinds my vision. I feel a lot more confident with my vision back.

I look around to find where the voice was coming from, only to find a half-beaten radio playing the voices.

"You may have noticed that I am not really here." said the radio's voice. "So sorry, you must be disappointed..." That voice...it sounds...wrong. "Anyway, You also may see that there are a number of doors behind my radio here."

I look up to see...exactly what the voice had said. A bunch of doors. There are about 7 of them. "Why am I here?" I ask.

"All your answers will be answered in due time." The voice spoke. "But in the meantime, you are going to answer a few questions."

I'm starting to get nervous. Something didn't seem right. "What kind of questions?"

        "Well first off, what is your name?"

        "I...I can't remember, it's been so long." What is my name?

        "Oookay...next question, can you demonstrate any magic?"

Magic..why does that word sound familiar? "What is magic?"

        Silence... "Hello?"

        "Well then, uuuum whoever you are, can you just step throuh that d-" The voice cut off. Static is all that was left.

        Slowly the static started to fade and I could hear...my voice. "What the..."

        The radio started to speak again. "Hello my name is Twilight Sparkle and this is log one-thousand, three-hundred, thirty seven and if you listening to this, you are in grave danger. The world that I...er you know is no more for you have been in cyrogenic stasis for over three thousand years if our calculations were right."

         I don't understand, if I have been frozen, why I am in danger?

         "I know that you are confused at the moment but all willbe revealed. You have been trained and hypnotized by the elders of the old world, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, to receive abilities after hearing certain triggers. I will now speak the trigger to you so you can gain some of your memories and your magic back and complete the first of three tests. *Sigh* Here we go. LAUGHTER."

         ....I don't get it, what was supposed to hap-AAAAAAAUUGGGHHHHH!!!!!! I can feel my memories flooding back. I can remember...I can remember..MAGIC!!!!

         "Now that remember magic and gathered some of your fractured psyche, you must walk through one of the doors in front of you."

         But what door do I take? My brain tells me the white one, but my heart tells me to go through the red one. My memories show me that all the doors will lead to the same place eventually. I guess that I'll take the white door then. Aaah blinding light!! I can't see!!! Aaaaah!!!!


       Twilight has only begun her journey through her mind. She must recover her fractured mind until she is ready. For now, she falls...straight into the abyss.

       "Will she live narrator?"

       Only time will tell Luna.
