There was bright light before him.
He was driving home after a college party, and a bright light appeared before him... Then darkness...
"Here I fall... Peacefully through the neverending darkness... Where am I?" He asked as he began to question his surroundings, and his falling.
"Mom? Brother? Sister? Cousins!? Where am I? Help!!" He pleaded at the darkness wishing for something to appear.
"Where am I!?" He pleaded again.
He had fully become aware of the place in which he falls... Pleading for help, begging the darkness... But nobody came...
"I don't want this!? I don't wish to die!!"
"But your already dead..."
Their was a voice, feminine, peaceful, and soothing to his soul.
He paused... "H-hello? Please help me!"
There was a pause, and he began to feel like it was just his mind playing tricks on him.
"Heaven... Your in Heaven, or at least this world's heaven... " Said the voice.
"Heaven? So I died?" He asked still falling...
"Yes... You died crashing into another." Said the voice.
"'Crashing into another'? A car crash?"
"It would appear so."
He thought for a bit. Where was she? And why was he falling? Curious, and scared he asked those questions.
"Why am I falling?" He asked first.
"I don't know... Let me see if I can change that." She said.
Soon he felt water on his back, and solid ground, it was like laying in a puddle. The darkness gave way to a peaceful twilight sky.
He was in a pool, but it was shallow like a puddle. A vast puddle scretching beyond the land. In the distance there were mountains. Jagged mountains reaching for the sky, like spikes. Close to him, but pretty distant were little islands that look like a singular mountains, they were big, but it seemed peaceful. The sky was twilight, and never changing. It was completely soothing, he felt like sleeping.
"Where are you?" He said slowing getting up, he felt lightheaded, and his body was aching.
"Oh, I guess I should introduce myself..." Said the voice.
Slowing a bright light floated upwards coming out of the pool, it wasn't even deep, but the light flew upwards towards him from below it's surface.
"My name is Celestia." Said the light. Then in a flash it formed in to a pony of sorts with folded wings, and a Unicorn horn.
Confusion took his mind.
"What?"
"I'm an Alicorn, from a magical land known as Equestria. Nice to meet you Schwab." Celestia said.
"Wait? How do you know me?" He said.
Celestia smiled, and explained.
"Long ago I received a message, a prophecy of sorts that from an unknown land a being would be dead, and that I would be transported to a world to meet this being of the Unknown." She said.
"I'm still confused... What does me dying have to do with a Alicorn?" He said.
Celestia responded with a soothing voice that made his mind calmer...
"I don't know either, but it says that this being would either choose to live, and take the form of one of the many sentient creatures of Equestria, or stay and wait for eternity. You are that being Schwab, it's why I'm here, well not in a literal sense... My body is still back where I'm from, it seems like everything that happens here passes in an instant in both our worlds." Said Celestia.
"So right now in this world, time is unmatched? So your telling me that in this world everything passes in an instant? So your body is still doing whatever, and my body is still getting crushed!?" He said.
"Yes." Replied Celestia.
"So I choose whether to stay here, or be reincarnated?"
"Yes."
Schwab thought for a moment. Another chance at life? What of Mom, my siblings, and my cousins? Should I ask her?
"Celestia... W-what of my family?"
Celestia was shocked by his question, but happy for him. He had just died, and his only real concern is his family...
"I don't know. I'm sorry." She said.
He was sad, and tears flowed down his cheeks.
"If I go with you, what would happen?" He said still crying.
"You live again, in my world as one of the sentient races." She said.
"What kind of sentient races?"
"Earth Pony, Unicorn, Pegasus, Alicorn, Dragon, Griffen---" she was cut off.
"Dragon, no questions asked." He said.
Celestia was taken aback.
"Your sure? What about the others?"
"Dragons were always my favorite mythical creatures, and I wish to become one." He said.
But then some thoughts came into his mind.
"Celestia a few more questions if you will?
"Sure."
"If I go, will I forget my past?"
"That is for you to decide. This is now your own path."
"Thank you. And what of this place? I kinda like the shallow pools, jagged mountains, and islands, and the twilight sky, it is peaceful."
Celestia looked around. It was peaceful calming to my mind, and soothing for the soul, like a meditation realm.
"Schwab, you may keep this place as your own. I may be able to give you some power to transport yourself here."
"How is that possible?"
"I'm a Alicorn I have incredible magic abilities!"
"Oh. So you can give me a power to transport myself here whenever I wish?"
"Mhmm."
"And time is unmatched, so if I do this I can stay in here for hours on end, and everything passes in an instant outside, I can relax, and go back and nothing would change outside."
Schwab was eager to go.
He, and Celestia got to know each other better, and he had decided to have the power to come back the world they were on, for relaxation, and also to not forget his past.
Soon it was time for his rebirth in Equestria...
"I'm ready Princess Celestia. I may be reborn as a dragon of my own image, and walk the path to my new life in your world."
"As you wish. But I think they may be more to your new life, than just rebirth... "
"What do you mean?"
"I'm unsure, maybe we will both learn together!"
And with that darkness filled his vision,
A new chance to be reborn.
All's right with the world...
