“Well, that’s just weird” I said, looking over the field of grass covered in animals that looked like someone put boxes together and was using magic to make them move.
I think some introductions are in order. I am a changeling from outside of the pony filled land called Equestria. We recently had this bright idea to attack the capital because of love. Yeah, we need the stuff to survive but seriously, why did we attack the capital of all places!?
I’ve never really understood our queen but I’m not about to tell her that since I like being alive more than correcting her misguided schemes to satisfy the hive. Don’t get me wrong, Chrysalis is a good leader, she really was looking out for us but mother of Celestia was that a bad place to start.
Personally, if given the choice, I would’ve started our assault somewhere not filled with beings with power that rivals our leader. I would’ve chosen somewhere simpler, like that Ponyville place…well maybe not since those Element users live there but at least somewhere that wasn’t Canterlot.
Anyway, it seems that that blast that flung us all out of their lands was more powerful to some than others or something because as everyone was flying through the air, more like flailing in confusion actually, I saw some of them disappear into what appeared to be multi colored portals or something. Some were pink, others were orange, and mine was purple.
Well, I think they sent us to other places because when I woke up everything around me was shaped like a cube. Everything! The dirt was cubical, the trees were cubical, hell even the sand was cubical! And now this is the weirdest part: I wasn’t cubical. Well, that’s actually normal for me but the world I’m in seems to disagree from what I’ve seen so far.
“I really wish I knew what in Tartarus was going on.”
Since all I could see for now was some animals doing what I’m sure was grazing in the fields, I figured now was as good a time as any to get a view from the sky. I opened my wings and checked to see if they were ok and they checked out so I started them up and flew over a hill, except replace flew over with crashed into.
“OW OW OW MOTHER OF OW…what’s going on?” I checked them again and they were fine, so I tried again only to meet another faceplant into the ground. Now I was starting to get really worried, my wings have never failed me before and I stocked up on plenty of love during the invasion so why wouldn’t they work? I decided to figure that out later and looked around for something that I could change into that wasn’t eating grass…nothing. Sighing, I settled on a cow since they could pull a mean stampede if you spooked them right. Again I got no results.
“Alright, now this is beginning to scare me” I said out loud to no one in particular. I decided to assess my situation now since the sun, a bunch of squares by the way, seemed to be passing over the half way point in its journey. I couldn’t fly, I couldn’t change, I couldn’t understand why this world was a bunch of squares…yeah, that sounds like everything I know about this place so far.
Getting up, I saw one of the animals, a sheep I believe, running away from something. I looked at what could be attacking it when suddenly this wolf just popped up out of nowhere and killed it. Now I know what you’re thinking “oh wolves attack things, no big deal” but this was different, it literally showed up from nowhere in a giant field with nothing to cover it and it seriously just ran into the sheep and then the sheep disappeared in a puff of smoke. The whole thing was weird and it only got weirder when the puff vanished and there in place of a sheep were two floating blocks with the same color as the sheep. I suppose the weirdest part was the fact that even though the wolf literally just killed a sheep that none of the other animals cared. None of them, at all seemed to even take notice. Then the wolf just wandered away and vanished as quickly as it had appeared. With this I decided buck it and went to walk over to where the sheep was and look at the stuff.
Suddenly the wolf was visible again, I stopped and it moved away and it was gone, I did that about five more times and came to the conclusion that I should’ve told Chrysalis that her plan was stupid so that this would’ve never happened.
When I got to the…whatever it was the sheep left behind instead of a corpse, I noticed the objects were floating and spinning in a circle motion but not moving anywhere so I got in for a closer look and about had a heart attack when they flew right at my face. Somehow they became positioned on my hoof but I couldn’t feel them or do anything about them.
“I really hope this is just a weird dream I’m having because this is just weird,” I sighed and assessed the situation again. I was in a place made of cubes, the animals poofed out of existence and drop stuff when they die, wolves apparently had free roam and none of the animals seemed to care at all when one took the life of another animal, and if I wasn’t close enough to something I couldn’t see it. That last one seemed pointless since it’s usually true anyway but in this case it was true beyond what we would usually consider normal. “Oh boy Craft Hammer, you are in for it now” I said to myself, “stuck in this weird place with no way out that I can see. How cruel can fate be to my life!”
I really wish I would've just been quiet and let myself not get dragged into what was soon to become my life until I got out of here.
