The universe is infinite, what it means a large variety of many reflexions to our kind, while the Earth was afraid of the creatures of distant planets the rest of them were in the same position with us.
My name is Magragor, i have worked for the NASA for the last ten years, it wasn't hard until now. The year is 4270, the age of our possible extermination. I saw on the news that a gigant asteroid was going to destroy the earth and our only hope was someone who can fly a spaceship and blow the target using explosives, the problem was that the asteroid was very far from our planet, the radars detected the thing and it was increasing it's speed so we have one week before the asteroid crashes with the earth. There was another problem: anyone who accepted the mission, was not be able going back, times were hard and we couldn't produce enough fuel for return, so this was a suicide mission literally. However i accept the mission for the sake of the human kind, all the people puts their hopes in me and the World Leaders told me that i'm gonna be remember for this.
When the day have finally arrived, i said goodbye to my family and friends, even if they were trying to convince me to stop this crazy idea, but i was sure that, was my destiny to save human kind, later, i put on my suit and board the ship ready for whathever i faced, i was not afraid to die, the world needed me.
I left the Earth at midnight, the media witnessed the launching of the spaceship and the people of the world were praying for the success of this mission and i was not going to disappoint them. After a few hours i finally reached the asteroid, for my surprize, it was bigger than i thought, so i quickly planted the bomb and escaped from the explotion, the asteroid was completely destroyed, the mission was a triumph. Wow! i never felt so good in my life like this moment, i saved the human kind from extintion but i knew i will die in the middle of nowhere
.
However yet i can distinguish another planet a few miles away and i have enough fuel to reach to it's atmosphere, if there was a little chance to survive in that planet i'm gonna take that risk! I travel so desperate towards that planet, but i began to lose control of my ship as soon as i entered the atmosphere, i saw a blue sky, more intense than usual in Earth, i also saw some kind of village, a castle and a forest where i was fallin. The ship crashed on a swamp, luckly for me i only got some scratches.
After analyzing the zone i realized that the air was safe, so i took off my suit and whatched my surroundings: it was a place of complete silence and a peace almost impossible to find in my twisted world, the sunlight barely reached the ground gently, and the sweet smell of grass mixed with rainwater that possibly fell before my arrival calmed me down. For an instant i felt in Paradise in a sweet ilucion, only allowed me to enjoy more the silence and calm to refresh my ideas, because i'ts better to be patient and analyze things better.
In the middle of my break, a strange being approached me, it looked like zebra but it was... diferent: it's eyes were bigger than usual and were blue, there was a few rings on it's neck and ears and it was a strange tatoo on it's flanks, like a spiral sun.
"Who are you who came from the sky and it's just sitting by?" The zebra asked me.
I was scared to death! i couldn't believe it! a talking zebra? "I... i am... i am Magragor, space pilot from the Earth, i come in peace. I don't want any trouble, my ship crashed here and i don't have place to go. Can you help me?" I asked.
"fear not stranger," said the zebra. "i'll help a strange being for i found you an interesting thing".
The zebra and i walked through the forest for over twenty minutes watching the woods, breathing clean and cold air, the creatures that hid among the threes were strange but facinating.
"What's your name?" I asked as we keep walking.
"Zecora," she said. "This is a dangerous place stranger, the beasts here attack with anger"
I was about to ask her why she spoke with rhymes but i'don't wanted to bother her. "Well... ah... nice to meet you Zecora!" I said nervous. "And would you like to tell me where i am?"
"In Evefree Forest you are, my home is not so far," said Zecora.
We finally arrived at a hut, inside had masks, pottery and ceremonial objects, it was like staying with a witch doctor's house, but it was cozy though. Zecora gave me a strange drink, it was grey and smell awful, it looked suspicious.
"Are you not going to drink my potion?" Asked Zecora.
"i'm not sure," i said distruted. "What if this thing is poisoned?"
"It will help you to heal your wounds," said Zecora with a smile. "Drink it and you will feel good once more".
I figued i had no choice, so i drank the potion fearing for my life, yuck! It tasted horrible! But, suddenly, my scratches disappeared and i felt full of energy again but, How could it be? A talking zebra helped me, and i don't know how to thank her.
"Do you feel better now?" Zecora asked.
"Yeah i guess, ahm... thank you Zecora," i said to her.
"Don't thank me stranger" said Zecora.
"Do you know someone who can teach me about your planet?" i asked.
"That knowledge i do not know, for Celestia's place you have to go," said Zecora.
"Celestia?" I asked. "Is she the leader?".
"She is the princess of Equestria," said Zecora. "She can aid someone like you, take the west route, in Ponyville you must go".
"I will never forget this Zecora, i'll be forever grateful to you," i said to her with a smile.
So i left Zecora's place satisfied, walking thorugh the forest i checked my compass and i went to the west as Zecora said, the day was getting darker and i need to find Poniville as soon as possible.
Thanks to a few lights on the distance i finally found Poniville, It was a huge village full of ponies! I could not believe it! all those ponies had different colours! Some of them had wings but others had horns like unicorns, What is this strange place i was? Have i gone crazy? I only needed answers and this "Celestia" could help me. So my journey to Equestria began.
