The Start of Something

Equestria: Northern Whitetail Woods

Lightning Gem was lost in her dreams when she awoke to the sound of hissing, looking to her left she found she was laying in front of a small burrow. Inside the burrow was a snake, instinctively Lightning Gem froze in horror at the small reptile  before her. The small snake twitched and that was all it took, Lightning Gem took off in the opposite direction screaming.

"SNAKE!"

If she had been paying attention to where she was running she would have realized she had run into the northern parts of the Whitetail Woods. When she finally stopped running she realized she had no idea where she was other than she was in the woods. She wandered around some more, trying to find a way out when she heard something behind her let out a growl. She turned around to find a Diamond Dog staring at her with a wicked grin, it had grey fur with a red jewel encrusted vest. It then spoke in a low gravelly voice.

"Come here little pony, I won't hurt you."

Lightning Gem was about to comply when she remembered being told about what happens to foals when they are caught by a Diamond Dog.

Lightning Gem looked at the Diamond Dog for a second before she hoped up and down in a vain attempt to fly, her tiny wings making little more than a buzzing noise and only serving to lift her a few more inches from the ground. Turning around she saw the Diamond Dog just staring at her, they both knew she was unable to fly and probably couldn't outrun it either.

They both stared at each other for a moment before Lightning Gem gave the dog a nervous smile and then took off galloping with the wolf in pursuit. While she was fleeing she realized the it was gaining on her, she then spotted a large burrow and jumped in. As soon as she was in the burrow she realized her mistake she was cornered,the Diamond Dog was too large to enter until he started digging into the burrow. Lightning Gem pulled out her necklace and spoke into it

"Please send help." She whispered.

Suddenly there was what sounded like a clap of thunder outside and the sound of the wolf as it ran away, followed by a thud......

Terra: Pleasant Hills

Felix had been sleeping peacefully when he was awoken by a quiet humming, at first it was quiet but it quickly grew in intensity until it was deafening. Felix threw his arms over his head in an attempt to shield himself from the noise. When he looked up he saw what looked like some kind of portal. It was a large blue ring on the outer edges and on the inside there was endless space. Felix could only stare at the portal until he felt a tugging at his feet and suddenly he realized the portal was dragging him towards it. As soon as Felix tried to move the portals strength increased pulling him closer, now items from the room were being pulled into the portal. Felix turned around to run but was hit in the forehead by a large piece of rotting wall. He was stunned and then sucked into the portal....

Equestria: Northern Whitetail Woods

Lightning Gem peeked outside the Diamond Dog was gone and now there was some thing laying outside. She didn't know what it was.

It looked like some weird kind of monkey, but it was wearing clothes and a mask was draped around its neck. Could this thing be what was sent to help her? While she was watching it the creatures stomach growled.

So you're hungry? She thought. Looking around she noticed an assortment of berries and flowers in the bushes nearby. Gathering up a small pile which she rolled next to the creatures head and waited for it to wake up. Almost the moment Lightning Gem sat down the creatures eyes fluttered open and it looked around for a moment before getting up. Its eyes focused on Lightning Gem and it just sat there staring at her, its eyes occasionally moving down to the pile of food in front of it before looking back up at her.

Felix couldn't believe what was happening, he had been sucked through a portal and he was now staring at what looked like a very small horse. Considering horses had been extinct for a long time it was more then a little odd for Felix, and the fact that he had been sucked through a portal wasn't helping to calm him down either.

So I get sucked into a portal, and now I'm staring at something that died off hundreds of years ago. Felix thought as the horse continued to survey him.

He didn't know why but for some reason he started laughing and laughing, he was sure that he sounded like a madman but something about his situation was just hilarious to him. After a minute he felt his laughing fit be replaced  by rage, turning around he started yelling at the trees.

"Thisisbullshitwhythehelldidaportalhavetoopenupanddragmetothegoddammedlostworldwithhorsesandshitmotherfuckerstupidfuckingteesanswermedammit!"

Felix continued to curse the trees for their inability to provide an answer until he had drained away most of his anger, turning around he found the small horse watching him with what seemed like an almost intelligent sort of curiosity.

If this thing starts talking to me I'm going to lose my shit... again.

He examined at the animal before him more closely, it didn't look like he thought horses were supposed to . It had larger eyes and its coat and mane were blue, it was also a lot smaller. There was also a pile of berries and nuts laying right next to him. Every once in a while the small horse would look to them like it was trying to get Felix to eat them, so he took some of the berries and found them to be a lot sweeter then what he was used to.

They both just sat around for a few minutes, the horse munching away happily while Felix was busy pondering how something so small, colorful, and trusting could survive in the out here.

There can't be a town too far away. Felix thought as he got up to leave. I'll just go there.

But as he continued on his way he realized he was being followed, turning around he saw the same small horse. He decided he might as well let it follow him for a little while until he could get back to town, and so they marched off together.

About five hours later they found a small empty cave and set up camp, within a few hours a small camp had been set up with all the necessities. After a small dinner consisting of more nuts and berries Felix decided it was time to sleep, when he woke up the next morning he found the horse curled up and sleeping on the other side of the fire pit.

How cute. Felix thought. Getting up they both packed up and, taking some more berries with them and then left for a town, and headed in the wrong direction.
