Digi Poni

The Gift: 1

Apparently, I had been given one of these new 'Smart Phones', or it is what I had thought it was.

What did surprise me, is the brand, it was apparently 'Mane Six', which does sound a bit odd, since I never heard of it, ever before.

That's where the dissapointment ended, since I soon found a particular game, or it is what I thought it was. This featured six distinct ponies.

After a short while, I came to the conclusion, it is the same ponies, as in the show I had just started to follow.

I'd admit, playing the game had been fun. Something to do, on any a rainy day, and I do have them here, let me tell you? I don't like them, since the day turns so dark, and it quickly builds up to quite the chill, in the cold and damp air, which sadly did transport even indoors, for most parts.

I have one, to a tops of two months of this in fall. That's why I hate fall so badly. At least, spring has the promise of summer coming with the warmth.

At first, I had just seen these size characters, all ponies in the game. Only this one day, I had stumbled upon something, and to my shock, it's a Zebra, named Zecora?

Then I had been dumbfounded, in part by the fact she was Zebra alone, then add her strange accent, the singsong voice, and the rhyme songlike quality to her speech? I had enjoyed Twilights wisdom, but this clearly topped her on the subject.

Since it is the first time I had seen her, I was hesitant in approaching her, just as the ponies had been in the show, maybe it was the show affecting me, or the cheer weight of the shift in the game she represented, just by being there.

Without her, it had been flipping coins between 'Slice of life', and 'Adventure', which I had enjoyed. No complaining there. Then again, adding Zecora, certainly did add some depth to both the game, and the characters. I still see this as a game, since I'm merely interacting with them, urging them around in life and adventures.

Ofhorse, I could always go around in-game, on my own, just exploring, as if I had been any of the characters, but I rarely did that, not after the first week.

Just walking alone had soon left me feeling empty. It was abandoning the general idea of the game, such as I had received it. It is what I had perceived the intent. Just slipping around in a digital world, like an abandoned ghost, what's the point?

“Greetings, young one!” Zecora addressed me, this one bright day, it apparently always are bright days here, in the world of Equestria, and in Ponyville in particular, hanks to the pegasus named Rainbow Dash, in great part.

“Hi!” I had responded, simply.

“I have seen you around, something tell me there is something amiss, you're seeking!” she just blurted out, bluntly, certain of what she spoke.

“Have you seen it?” I enquired curiously, not sure, as to what she pointed at.

“It is right in here, come with me, into my humble hut, and I'll show you, what few of these lands have seen!” she just urged me.

“Thanks, I think!” I responded, as I followed her into the hut, small as it was, at least, in comparison to the homes of Ponyville village, or the home, from which I came.

“Here, I had it prepared just for you, since I knew of your search!” she pronounced, urging me to accept, what she offered, a cup of what looked like tea, but had a strange scent to it, if I could say so, in this scene?

“Thanks!” I offered, in hopes not to offend, soon having the first sip.

“Now, this is about conclusion. Your search is about to hit its end!” she uttered.
