You were having a normal morning. Woke up at 6, showered, ate and left your place.
Just as you locked the door and turned to walk off toward your job, you felt the very Earth beneath your feet simple vanish. You found yourself falling through a bright white void.
Your own screams were lost as you fell faster and faster...
At least until the strain of transdimensional travel was too much for your heart, and you died of cardiac arrest.
You waved at your friends and started down the path through the park, whistling as you headed home.
Suddenly, the air before you seemed to contract, then split open, depositing a creature the likes of which you had never dreamed. It seemed to be a Frankenstein's buffet of animal parts glued onto a furry serpent. It's eyes shone with malicious intent.
"Oh, how delightful. My first stop and I bag myself a hairless ape! Fluttershy will be so pleased."
The creature then raised its lion's paw and somehow snapped its digits.
A flash of light, then death.
Discord winced at the wall of Fluttershy's cottage, where a damp red stain had begun spreading from where your now lifeless matter rest.
"Whoopsie! Spliced another one!"
You had been sitting in front if your computer when you heard something rip behind you. Startled, you jumped up from your chair and turned to investigate.
It looked like someone had torn a hole in the very fabric of reality. Arcane energies rippled and flowed through the tear, creating a unearthly sound--
"HEAD'S UUUUUUPPPPPPPP!"
A flash of light preceeded the furry teal missile that shot through the tear. It happened all too quickly; all you felt was the impact of a solid keratin horn piercing through your chest and puncturing your heart. The momentum of this impact launched you across the room.
You were dead before you hit the ground.
When Lyra came to, still penetrating your chest, she managed to pry herself loose and after a quick moral debate, slowly backed through the portal with a whispered, "Sorry, dude."
