You wake up, somewhat, to the sound of voices. A hard surface makes itself known beneath you, like a table of sorts. The pain in your ankle and your shoulder has been dulled down to a numbing ache. The gash on your side feels like it’s been stitched up. ‘At least my wounds have been taken care of.’ You try to shift your focus around your now clouded mind to listen in on what's going on.
The first voice you hear is one of the ones from the forest.
'Fluttershy, I think her name is.'
"Oh, do you think he's going to be alright Twilight?"
'Twilight... that's right, I was being taken to her house to get looked at. Still don't know why I wasn't taken to a hospital. Or why they were surprised by my talking...'
"It's a little early to tell, Fluttershy. I'll check his vitals again after I send a letter to Princess Celestia reguarding... whatever he is. SPIKE!"
'Wait, princess? Why would they have a princess? What is this, some sort of cult?'
A young, seemingly childish voice responded to her call. "Yes, Twilight?"
"Take a letter."
You hear the sound of rustling paper and some scratching before this "Spike" character speaks up again.
"Ready Twilight."
Twilight clears her throat and starts "writing" her letter. "Dear Princess Celestia, a strange creature has appeared in Equestria.
'Equestria? Where on Earth is that? And why do they keep calling me a creature? That really kinda stings...'
“Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack had found it limping through the Everfree forest, running from a timberwolf."
'Timberwolf... so that's what that monstrous wolf is called. Note to self, find a lighter.'
"Physical examination reveals it to be a bipedal male of roughly (your height in feet) hooves and (your height in inches) inches in height."
'Hooves? Doesn't she mean feet? And she said that a physical examination revealed me to be a male. Wait... PHYSICAL examination? They "examined" me?!? In my SLEEP?!?'
While you silently freak out, Twilight runs a hand through your hair. At least, that's what you think it is.
"He appears to have no coat, only a peachy colored skin. His mane, which only appears to grow on top of his head, looks to be (your hair color) and feels kind of course, almost like pony hair, but more wiry."
'Why are her hands so hard? And pony hair? Why do they keep throwing horse references into things?'
The hard grasper dealies open one of your eyelids, yet you can't see a thing.
'Must be from the blood I lost...'
"His eyes are (your eye color) and seem to be much sharper than ours. This fact, along with his combination of both molars and canines, indicates that he is omnivorous. A potential predator, definitely something to watch."
The graspers move from your eyes to your hands. As your eye closes, you groan. Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack all gasp, but Twilight doesn't seem to notice.
"His forelegs end in two claw like appendages, much like minotaurs have. I believe they're called hands. They are quite soft, and appear to be made solely for grasping things. His hind legs end with something stranger. They are mostly flat, with five small stubs on the end of each one.”
As she continues to list off your physical features, your eyes slowly start to drift open. Depressingly, you still can’t see a thing. All you can see is grey. Twilight continues to list things off to Spike, her and the others seemingly unaware of your consciousness.
“One of the most shocking things about this being, however, is that Fluttershy claims to have heard him speak. He listed off his injuries, providing much needed help in treating his wounds. Still, we are not sure what to do with him. We await your response to the situation. Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle. Did you get all of that?”
As Spike speaks up again, you notice some color returning to your vision. “Yeah, I got it Twi. Should I send it now?”
You hear a loud slap as Twilight sighs. “Of course, Spike.”
‘Did she just facepalm?’
“Ok, ok, I was just making sure.”
You briefly hear what sounds like a roaring fire before it goes quiet again. To your relief, your vision has almost returned to you by this time.
Still not noticing you awake, Rainbow Dash decided to finally speak up. “So, when are Rarity and Pinkie Pie gonna get here?”
“We’re right here darling, don’t worry.”
“Yeah, we wouldn’t want to miss out on seeing a super duper new creature thingy that may or may not have come from another world! I mean, really, how could I NOT see it?!? It could be-“
“PINKIE!” Thank god Twilight was still standing there. “First off, it’s a he. Second, Celestia is coming to take a look at him and… Rarity? What’s wrong?”
“I-it, he, is awake.”
Your eyes widen as you realize that she’s talking about you. You turn your head to thank the girls who saved you, but what you see is not what you were expecting. The six you see in front of you, are ponies. Ponies.
The purple pony turns to face you, and to your surprise, starts talking. “Hello there, I’m Twilight Sparkle. And you are?”
You sit there and try to formulate the correct response to what just happened. You settle for this.
“HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?!?”
Twilight visually shirked back from your shouting. “What do you mean?”
“Horses don’t talk! THAT. IS. NOT. POSSIBLE.”
Another presence chose this time to make itself known. “I beg to differ, human.”
You turn to the doorway to see a much taller horse with a horn and wings. It was wearing a crown, and was staring at you intently.
Twilight was much less shocked than you were. “Princess Celestia!”
Although, you didn’t notice. You passed out again.
