I still can't believe it all started with a family camping trip gone wrong.  One moment I was enjoying my time with my parents and brothers, then next thing I knew I was stranded on a world full of magic and mythological creatures.  In one day, I went from worrying about the upcoming calculus test to worrying about my next meal.  I remember how the only thing keeping me going was the hope that I might find a way home.  Little did I know that some deities had other plans in store for me.  I remember all the promises I made, both those kept and betrayed.  I remember the friends I made on my little adventure; the same friends I threw away when everything came crashing down.  Oh, the memories I made...  Oh, the memories I am now forever cursed to remember.  I suppose this is a just punishment.  My only regret is that my friends may never hear my side of the story...

After the 'Canterlot Wedding' incident the Changeling swarm was scattered across the land, enslaved by pony warlords and slavers beyond the borders of Equestria.  Weak, desperate and with only a dozen changelings to her name, Queen Chrysalis resorts to summoning one of the most obscure creatures in mythology; a human.

Thanks to zinger906 for giving me the idea for this story.

Unknown Creature Desctiption: The creature stood at 5 feet tall and 8 inches. It had little fur to keep itself warm but otherwise showed much resemblance to a primate.  Creature lacks ability to communicate verbally but shows understanding of imagery, no prior data has been recorded for this creature and thus must be studied with extreme caution in controlled environments. Studying of this creature is currently underway by Lyra under Blueblood's team.

You think you know me so well, don’t you? I’m a spirit of chaos, and nothing else. You don’t even know the half of it! Sit back and indulge me for a little; I’ll make you understand what it truly means to be chaos itself.

(Featured on Equestria Daily: July 16, 2012.)

Is it better to be respected, or admired?

This question has always troubled Chrysalis, and being banished from Equestria has not made it any less of a pressing issue for the queen of the changelings. Cut off from her armies and alienated in a strange land, she adapts and blends in to survive. For a master of deception, this is no difficult feat, but despite her success in the business world, her new life is unfulfilling. She is almost always hungry, because the creatures she has found herself stranded with are much less generous with their love.

More than anything, she longs to be her true self, and to be adored for the regal being she truly is. Of course, she knows that no one could ever love a changeling.

Or could they?

--This is a story in which I demonstrate how I do not know what the phrase short-fic really means.--

Going up to the roof for some fresh air after pulling and all-nighter, our "hero" makes the mistake of closing his eyes for a bit.

When he opens them again, he is no longer on the rooftop in Copenhagen he was expecting to be on... no he's somewhere very different, and extremely unfamiliar.

How will he react? How will the ponies react? Nothing is certain, except for one thing...

He never asked for this.

This story takes place about 8'ish years after the second season of MLP:FiM, the language of Equestria does not match any earth languages (that the main character knows of at least), and the human in question knows nothing of these ponies or the world of Equestria.

He emerges into Equestria on the roof of a building in Manehattan, not the Everfree, not Ponyville and certainly not one of the princesses' bedrooms in Canterlot Castle.

Oh! Spoilers in the comments and all that jazz, not gonna go into a whole spiel about it.

After a few days of isolation The Great and Powerful Trixie decides to move to Canterlot to practice show magic. Only to be kicked out of eery club in Canterlot. One day a stallion finds Trixie sleeping in an alley and offers her something she hasn't had since her parents' death...compassion.

ABANDON ALL HOPE YE WHO ENTER HERE

The epic story written by Dante Alighieri ponified and translated to a simpler form for younger viewers. Watch as Twilight Sparkle traverses the deep depths of Pony Hell overcoming all matters of evil. Discord, Nightmare Moon, Manticores, Hyrdras, Cockatrices!

(DEAR CELESTIA NOT THE COCKATRICE)

    Disclaimer: I in no way believe this is anywhere on par with The Divine Comedy and is merely my show of affection for Dante's Inferno. I've been asked to add that these conversations are written with my own words, these are not direct translations from Dante's Inferno. While much of my creative process directly ties into the three translations I own, a lot of conversation is merely an old-fashion dialect I recreated. (Except for the first and last stanzas in each Cantos) I assure you these are my own words, and are not any sort of plagiary. For those expecting the religious context intact I sadly did not keep it in for reasons of pony universe. The broader scope is there, but no catholic church bashing my friends.

Once in a great while Leapling day affects all the ponies of Equestria, Earth ponies become unicorns, Unicorns become pegasus and Pegasus become Earth ponies until the sunsets!

How will this effect the mane six and worse, how will leapling day ever end if nopony knows where Princess Celestia is!

Contains some mild adult themes in one scene describing the connection Earth ponies feel to every other pony.
