The Untold Chronicles
Chapter 3, Depressing Events
Seeing this envelope confused me, I thought that I would be getting a letter or something from my mom. This confusion was followed curiosity resorting in me opening the envelope and in it was just one piece of paper. Before I could even raise my hand to the top of it Twilight spoke.
“Whats is it?”
I turned to hear with a slight look of confusion on my face.
“It’s an envelope, what else could it be?” I thought out loud
“What is in it?”
“Oh… well I don’t know yet” I said as I reached inside the envelope
In pulling out the letter I saw ‘Dear, Deryen’ and thought “when did the US government start letters with Dear?” Moving past that thought, continued to read.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear, Dreyden
The former residence of this establishment have be moved to an alternate location so that we could conduct research on this phenomenon. We ask where you are sending these letters from and if you, your self are in good condition?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was a very short letter and didn’t say much but still gave me a reason to write back and ask some questions my self.
“How is it from and what did it say?” the now bombastic Pinkie Pie asked.
“Well it’s from my Government and their asking if I’m OK” I said as I still looked at the letter.
“Were you expecting someone else?” Rarity asked
“Actually I was expecting my family to write back, but I guess a hole in space and time is enough to get government involved” I said overstating the last part.
I started to walk to the desk again with full intention of writing another letter before Twilight go in my path.
“Are they going to be trouble?”
“*chuckle * No I think that they know about as much of how this all happened as I do, which I don’t don’t know what happened.”
I now walked around Twilight and closed the remaining distance between me and the desk and turned my head to her.
“Don’t worry, I’ll ask what's wrong.”
Writing another letter is my next task as Twilight sat a few feet away and the rest of the main six investigated the mailbox.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I’m fine in a different dimension that looks like a kids cartoon show called MLP and would like to say that it may not be too important since I may return soon. Furthermore, yes I am OK?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A small reply to such a small letter. I then stood up letter in hand and walked over to the mailbox followed by Twilight. After placing the letter in the mailbox I dusted off my hands and started to walk away.
“Well I guess I need to do something for a few hours while I wait for a le-” cut short by Pinkie pie
“Oh look, a letter just arrived” Pinkie said while looking in the mailbox
“what?” everypony (other than pinky) and I in the room said simultaneously
I dashed over to the mailbox to see this and there it was, another envelope with the same big, black letters on the front. I opened it with the thought of “How did they already make a letter?” and in it was, infact, a letter.
(The letter has been shortened to the main wording of the letter)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear, Dreyden
It is very odd that you are now in this other world or dimension that you state that you are in and we asks how you got there? We are telling you don’t return. We say this since of the high amount of radiation coming from all the Items from your side of the mailbox. If you did return then the amount of radiation emanating from the portal would be enough to kill a man from two feet away. We also ask way it is taking such an extensive amount of time to write these small letters.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now this was a letter that the government would write “*cough* except for the ‘Dear’ part *cough*” and it did take me a bit to read through it all. At the end I was left with a concerned/ confused look on my face as I thought of some questions. I walked over to the desk deep in thought about these questions that I had to the point of not responding to the six ponies that were asking me questions. He put down the pencil on the paper and began to write while the six ponies started watching him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to ask if you are doing some research on how you fix this radiation problem? I would also like to ask how much time has it been between the time you are receiving these letters?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I got up and halfway to the mailbox when Twilight blocked my path again.
“What is radiation and why does it prevent you from going back?” the purple mare asked
I stammered for a second and thought about it before talking.
“Radiation is a great amount of energy that with enough exposure causes matter like flesh and bone to mutate and if a high enough dose will kill a living creature. This world seems to emanate enough radiation to do such a thing which does not make sense since I am still alive.”
The ponies gasped other than Twilight which replied.
“This radiation sounds like magic other than the killing part”
“What do you mean?” I said looking to her with a confused expression while putting the letter in the mail box.
“Well magic is everywhere in this world and can be used to change the objects, but exposure can’t kill anything but can be forced to do so.”
I shut the lid to the mailbox, new letter in hand, and thought this for a few seconds.
“Yea that sounds right, but nonetheless it is deadly where I come from.”
I now opened the envelope and pulled out the letter and began to read it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear, Dreyden
At this time the United States is unable to fund such a project and do to the national debt increasing and cutting funds to several federal programs. For your other question: the time between the first and second letters was about half a year, the tired and second and third was about a day and a half.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I sat there in deep thought about ways to get past this with the end result being the same thing again and again.
“I’m stuck, I’m really stuck, no celestia might be able to send me back with no radiation levels coming from me. But what are the chances that she can do that and not take a few days since one day in this world was a year back in mine and a lot can happen in one year. She would have to fix this radiation problem and send me back in time. In the long run what are the chances that the government would just let me live with my family after this. No, I really am stuck here and all I once know is gone, I have to give up my old life, my future just went down the drain.”
A cold chill went over me as these thoughts stalled in my mind and made my being feel empty and dead inside. The ponies saw my composure and could probably feel the chill in the air. I turned to Twilight, great concern and sadness shown on my face, and spoke.
“Tw-Twilight?”
“yes, what is it”
“Is there a spell that can send someone back in time to about a year?”
“yes there is but it take a lot of magic.”
“Could Celestia do it?” I asked while my legs shook a little
“I don’t know maybe.”
“and also is there a spell that can relieve this magic from my body?”
“........ no” Twilight said turning her head in realization too what I was thinking of.
Looking to the ground I walked to another room and sat on a couch followed by all the ponies, Twilight at the back of the group. I kept on think the same thing “I’m stuck, I’m stuck, I’m completely and utterly stuck” causing water to start build in my eyes. Fluttershy saw this and trotted up to me.
“what’s wrong?”
Unable to look up to her I talked still looking down.
“I-I’m stuck”
“what do you mean?”
“I’m stuck in this world.”
“This world ain't that bad” Applejack said with a reassuring voice
“Yea it isn't that bad but I had friends, family, and a future I was working towards and I have to let it all go without even saying a goodbye. I liked where my life was going and now it all has to change, everything i once once know is gone.” I said shedding a tear
It took a second or two for them to get what this meant but they all their expressions started to show slight serowe even pinkies main deflated and fell flat.
“Can I just be left alone for a bit? *sniff* I need some time to think.” I said while covering my face not wanting them see my face as tears started to build in my eyes.
I could hear one of them sound as if they were going to talk but just couldn't find the words and fell silent followed by the sound of them walking out respectfully. As they walked out of the room I had one thought settle into my mind as tear filled eyes.
“Why do bad thing always happen to me when things are starting to look good.”
