I open my eyes to see a stone spike, stalactite, hanging over my head.
'It finally happened huh,' I thought, I always had this dream where I would wake up somewhere I didn't know. I pinched myself, 'Okay, not dreaming'
I sat up to inspect myself. I had on a black short sleeved shirt with a picture of NASA's challenger shuttle with Earth in the background on the back and a sci-fi spaceship with planets in the background on the front. On my legs were army green cargo pants with lots of pockets, two at my hips, back and thigh areas, while two large ones are at the sides of my knees. On my feet are black boots with thick rubber bottoms made for the outdoors. My skin is brown with black dots all over my chest, the sides of my shoulders, upper back, and the sides of my head. I have short black hair that grows very fast and I don't like getting haircuts.
In my back-right pocket was my Five Nights at Freddy's wallet, and in my right pocket was my phone and another mass I didn't know.
I pulled my phone out of my pocket to and turned it on, 87% the battery read, I also didn't have any signal. I pulled the other mass out of my pocket, it was a stick of white chalk about half the size of my hand. 'Wish it was green' I thought.
And like the the stick was reading my mind, saying 'Okay, bro' it changed to my favorite color, neon green.
Now this I didn't dream of, sure I always were ready to wake up somewhere and go on adventures, but I never anticipated having a presumably magical item. So this was a shock.
"Does magic exist here?" I wondered quietly, didn't want to startle what could be in this cav-
I dropped the stick of chalk and looked around my immediate vicinity, nothing. I took out my phone, while starting to scooch to the cave entrance to my left, and turned on my flashlight. I aimed it to the back of the cave, nothing. "Thank you!" I said to no one.
I looked back down at the ground only to see a quickly dissipating lime green cloud of dust and feel the chalk in my pocket again. 'So i can't lose it?' I thought. To test that theory I threw it to the far side of the cave.
As it hit the back wall it broke in two... and disappeared in another puff of quickly dissipating lime green smoke. It reappeared in my pocket, in one piece. 'So I can't lose or break it?' I thought, "Cool!".
That can't be all though, right? So if I was a piece of magical chalk what could I do?
'Can I draw in the air?' I waved the chalk in the air, intent to make a picture, only possibly making myself look dumb. 'Maybe I can interact with drawings I make,' I went to the right wall of the cave, 'Something simple like a button that changes the color of something.'
(Time Skip)
So I've been in the cave for... two hours if my phone is anything to go by and the forest outside getting brighter than darker was a good thing. In those hours I figured out six things. One, I could physically interact with my drawings, two, I could actually pick them up from the surface they were drawn on and feel comfortable holding them, three, I had to think about what I wanted it to do while drawing it, four, it had to be drawn with quality for it to work best, five, I can make the stick change color with my mind, and six, the chalk regenerates over time.
I look into the cave at the of all my drawings of tools, weapons, broken rocks, cut stalagmites, stalactites, and holes in the cave.
Looks like it's time to find civilization, "Now, how do I make you disappear?" I asked a picture of a pickaxe. It answered by blowing away in a wood brown and metal grey cloud of dust that quickly dissipated.
"Okay," I said in a deadpan tone, I picked up a sword, a machete, and a pistol, drawing with some magazines, "the rest of you disappear." I was rewarded with a cave filled with multi-colored dust, none of it causing me to sneeze because it acted like it wasn't there. Now back to the pistol.
I specifically made my ranged weapon mags like my pistol to slowly disappear while I'm shooting. Turns out no matter how much I want the bullets to last forever, it won't let me. It depends on how big the mags are for how many shots I get, so instead I made them to disappear when run out, that way I don't have to eject them to reload. Pretty clever eh?
With that said and done, I turned and walked out of the cave and into the forest, looking for town.
Perspective Change
Twilight Sparkle, book powered purple unicorn machine and Princess Celestia's most faithful student, was walking with her number one assistant Spike, a purple dragon with a pale green underbelly and green spines, was sitting on her back while reading her her to-do list.
"What are we doing next, Spike?" she asked.
"We're supposed to go to Pinkies to get those cupcakes you ordered," he said.
"Hmmm....." Twilight lifted the paper out of his claws, "...Spike, this isn't my horn writing." she stated with a raised eyebrow, she turned her head to look at him.
Spike smiled sheepishly, "W-well, you see-"
POP, POP POP
Everypony outside in Ponyville stopped what they where doing to look at the giant flock of birds flying out of the Everfree Forest canopy, curious at to what could be happening.
"Forget it, Spike, we need to get the others!" Twilight said as she began to gallop to Sugarcube Corner.
Every street they passed, ponies would follow them with their eyes before going back to what they were doing, although without being more alert of their surroundings and the ponies around them.
