#1 - Finally Getting Somewhere...sort of
You're probably wondering if I finally figured it out. The answer to that is yes I did, but I had to seek help since I'm such an idiot at decoding. That's the main reason why I have my decoding program on my computer, but I couldn't use my computer because it wouldn't turn on. I tried to find out what the problem was and everything on the inside of the computer was doing just fine. Everything looked okay. It was pretty odd.
Anyway, I went to a friend in Ponyville, which I've known since I got here, and I asked him to look at the numbers that I have written down and what I should do. He looked at the numbers and he told me that none of them go above 26. He also told me that 26 is the total number of the letters in the English alphabet. That's when it became clear to me. The answer was right there and I blame myself for not figuring this out sooner. I then thanked him for the help and I leave and head back to Canterlot.
As I sit on my computer desk, I write down all the letters in the alphabet in order. After I was done with that, I start putting each number in their corresponding letter, like A=1 and B=2, and I slowly start to decode each set of numbers that I have written down.
The Numbers DECODED
So, here are the set of numbers that I have so far, in order.
1. 2 21 9 12 4 9 14 7
2. 6 15 18 5 19 20
3. 3 12 15 3 11
4. 12 15 15 11 20 8 5 18 5
5. 9 20 19 3 15 13 9 14 7
6. 6 15 18 25 15 21
7. 7 15 1 20 4 1 23 14
8. 19 8 5 11 14 15 23 19
9. 23 1 20 5 18
10. 8 15 12 4 25 15 21 18 2 18 5 1 20 8
11. 9 19 5 5 25 15 21
12. 23 1 20 3 8 25 15 21 18 2 1 3 11
13. 23 1 20 3 8 15 21 20 6 15 18 8 9 13
14. 10 15 8 14 19 1 25 19 8 9
The first set translates to: building.
What building? The building in my nightmares? What does this 'person' want me to find there? Is it a different building?
The second set translates to: forest
I think this 'person' is talking about the Everfree Forest. I'm not sure, though. They could talking about another forest, but, like I said, I'm not sure.
The third set translates to: clock
What does a clock have to do with any of this?
The fourth set translates to: lookthere
Look where? I don't even know.
The fifth set translates to: itscoming
What's coming and when is it coming?
The sixth set translates to: foryou
What's coming for me?!
The seventh set translates to: goatdawn
Go where and why at dawn? Where do I need to go at dawn?
The eighth set translates to: sheknows
Who is 'she'? What does 'she' know?
The ninth set translates to: water
Water? What about it? What does water have to do with anything?
The tenth set translates to: holdyourbreath
Why would I need to hold my breath? What does that have to do with anything? It's the same way with 'water', what does it have to do with any of this?
The eleventh set translates to: iseeyou
That still creeps me out. Why is this 'person' watching me? Is he watching me in my sleep? He's probably watching me type this right now.
The twelfth set translates to: watchyourback
Watch my back? Is this thing threatening me or is he warning me?
The thirteenth set translates to: watchoutforhim
Who is 'him'?
The last set of numbers translate to: johnsayshi
John? My best friend? He was the one that came with me to Equestria. He's dead. He's been dead for over a year now, so there's no way John said that. I was at his funeral. I saw his fucking body. He should be dead. There's no way John could be still alive...right? Maybe this thing is just getting to me...
Okay, so here's basically what I'm trying to understand.
The first three: building, forest and clock.
I really think that this 'forest' that he's talking about is the Everfree Forest.
The 'building' that he's talking about might be either the old building I saw in Manehatten, you know the one in my nightmare, or it might be somewhere in the Everfree Forest. Other than that, I have no idea what he's talking about.
The 'clock'. I have no idea what he's talking about. I don't even have the slightest clue of what he means by this. It could be any clock. So what does a clock have to do with any of this?
The next three: lookthere, itscoming, and foryou.
Now, with 'lookthere', they might be telling me to look in the building that he's talking about. It might be either the answer that I'm looking for or it's just another clue. I'm not entirely sure...
'itscoming' and 'foryou' would go together. What's this 'it' that they're talking about and why would 'it' be after me? What did I do?
With goatdawn, I guess this 'person' wants me to go to the building that might be in the Everfree Forest at dawn. Why dawn?
Now, with sheknows, this one really gets to me and there are two questions that come into mind.
1. Who is 'she'?
2. What does she know?
water and holdyourbreath. I don't even know what it's supposed to mean. Will something happen to me in the water that will cause me to hold my breath? If that's the case, then shit...
watchyourback and watchoutforhim. Who is him and why do I need to watch my back? Is there something out there that I should be afraid of? What does it mean?
johnsayshi. There is just no way that John is still alive. This guy is just fucking with me and I'm not letting him get to me.
Well...shit. At least I got...something. It helps me out on what's going on...kind of. I still don't know who 'him' is and I don't know where to start.
I am thinking about seeking help from Luna. Why? Well, because I want to know what my nightmares were about. I know it's not going to be pretty, but I have to know. So, tomorrow, I will seek help from Luna and figure out what to do next.
If you guys have any other suggestions on what to do next, tell me and I will think about doing it.
