Slendermane: The Arrival

by Matthew_Golezerg

Clip 001

The video started showing a grand carriage blocked by a fallen tree, preventing it to continue along the dirt path to the location where the princess was going to.

" Well, I'm walking from here,"

She continued anyway through the dirt path on hoofs. Everything around her along the way is just a couple of oaks, pine trees, some rocks, boulders and an endless wooden fence on the right. She brought the camcorder to capture the moment she found the creature. Nothing is following her, she even told the guards at the carriage to stay put there. But in truth, she wants to protect her civil servants and needs to face the creature alone.

Yet, she felt the presence of being watched. Something out there is stalking her beside a few usual animals like squirrels and some birds. No, it's something very extraordinary she wouldn't recall what it is. Sweat drips from her cheek, she can destroy anything out there but this, just feels like something more dangerous than immortality.

As she continued along the road, the sky began to feel darker and moodier in just a few seconds. The clouds are thick and foggy. Lightning can be seen overhead signalling it could probably rain by now.

" Huh, is getting darker already? Luna shouldn't lower the sun this time around. Besides, it's one a.m. sharp, it should still be the afternoon. Or maybe it's just me?" she wondered aloud. It could be her imagination that made her see these. Or, something else is but she doesn't focus much about that.

The night grew darker and turned her vision less than she's able to see. She needs to find shelter before anything else stalks her like a hawk right now. She tried searching for it by flying above but the endless trees and tall mountains made it difficult to do so. She quickened her pace when a drop of water hit her forehead. It started to rain heavily, ruining her line of sight even more while getting herself soaking wet that unables her to fly anymore.

As hard as the rain tried to stop her, she saw a glint of light in the distance between the trees. She ran as fast as she could without hitting objects in front of her. When the light came to view, she found the source of the light that shone her.

" A house? In the middle of this forest, who would build a house in the middle of the forest?" as she found a lone bungalow house. She could only think of one pony who does, and that's Zecora. But, she doesn't live in a temperate decidious forest. Maybe this house belongs to her cousin or something.

The house is huge and the yard around it is wide. Pretty much like a playground if you ask me. It even has playground equipment.

Yet, the front door is left ajar, windows are opened, light's are on and nopony's home. She thought a robber came in or something but that's impossible since nopony knew this house and turns on the lights. It's not even marked on the Equestrian map. Probably the owner kept it a secret but why? These questions will might not be answered if she's gonna watch it in the wet.

So, she proceeded into the yard of the house. Upon entering the land, she noticed the house was recently bought due to the sale sign up front. Guess the owner wanted to make money somehow.

" Hello' anypony home? This is the princess making a visit!" yet her reply is only with complete silence. The house was trashed and messed up, even some weird drawings on the wall. The drawing fimilairized the monarch as it depicts a creature she seems to know. Anyway, she confirmed that nopony's home right now and decided to investigate and search around a bit. She checked every room, nothing but scattered objects and cluttered mess, except for one room that's locked. She'll be back for it soon because she needs to know what's in that room. She found the key and a flashlight in the master's bedroom or whoever the pony's bedroom was.

" Might as well unlocked the door at the end there. Besides, it's dark in there and I need to see clearly," she passed the hallway and proceeded to unlock it, a few complications here and there but she's able to open it. Slowly, she pushed the door and turn on the flashlight and revealed the hidden secret in this room.

"Oh crap," she exclaimed. The room is filled with simple yet rushed, charred drawings of the creature earlier. The drawings are everywhere from the ceiling to the floor. Whoever did this really is scared of the creature. One paper on the wall consist a clue to where the pony wants to tell her, the abandoned radio tower out there in the woods. Celestia thinks she needs to go there for explanation.

Just as it couldn't get any worse, she heard a scream out there in the woods. She thought the pony just went out heading to the radio tower recently and got cought by the creature she was afraid of. She went outside with no hesitation to investigate the scream.

The tape ends there.

" This is what you've been doing," Luna said.

Luna opens the video tab and double-clicked the second one. As it buffers, she wondered why was she looking for this thing and what could possibly happened to her. Clip 002 will explain some of those.
