Settling in

Introductions/Questions


The door shattered as I collided with it. A short purple lizard screamed and hid under a table as I passed. I ignored him and kept running. I broke down the next door. I skidded to a stop outside and my eyes widened at the sight. All the colors were sharp and clear and a rich cocktail of scents assaulted me.

The bright colored Ponies screamed and ran from the sight of me. I started Hyperventilating. It was almost too much. "Wait! Oh, if it's not too much to ask."

I looked back and saw the trio closing in on me. I bolt away before they can reach me. After a few moments I look back to see if they're following me. While my head is turned to look back I slam into a furry wall. I look up at the looming figure and see the strange Chimera Creature. He leans down with a grin on his face. "Boo!"

I scream and try to run in the opposite direction. He grabs my tail before I can. "When the Buck did I get a tail?" I stop. "Why can't I say Buck!"

"Language young lady!" the Chimera Snaps his paw and a bar of soap appears in front of me. he stuffs it in my mouth an chuckles. The yellow Pegasus flies up to him and gives him a glare. He sighs and the soap disappears. I spit and rub the taste out of my mouth.

I start walking in circles to get a good look at the bottom half of my body. My tail is long and agile and obviously belongs to a lion. I notice two large, black, bird wings that flex and flap at will unlike my tail that twitches every few moments. I look down at my hands which have transformed into talons. I'm so caught up in these revelations I barely notice the Lavender Unicorn walk up to me.

She taps my shoulder and I literately jump three feet up into the air. I collapse in a heap and rub my nose (Beak) and shoot the Chimera creature a nasty glare for laughing. The Unicorn suppresses a giggle. "There's no reason to be afraid. My name is Twilight Sparkle. These are my Friends Fluttershy and Discord." The Pegasus waves shyly and the Chimera perches on a cloud, watching me intently. "Why don't we go talk in the Library?" The Unicorn gestures to the large oak tree in the center of town.

"Okay." I'm not exactly comfortable with being in a closed space but maybe they can tell me what's going on.


As we enter the library the Purple Lizard eyes me with caution. "Twilight?"

Twilight smiles at him. "Don't worry Spike. this is just..." she trailed off. "I just realized we don't know your name."

I blushed. "My name is Wisdom."

"That's a lovely name. Ask anything you like."

I take a deep breath. what do I want to know the most? "What is he?" I point at Discord.

He acts offended. "I am a Draconequus..."

I cut him off before he could continue. Mostly just to annoy him. "That's nice. Okay, next question, Why am I here?"

The Unicorn raises an eyebrow. "I'm surprised you didn't start with that." She shrugged. "Well I was trying out a new spell I've been working on and Needed Discord's magic. I was trying to fix an imbalance of Magic between your world and mine and suddenly you appeared."

I tap my chin and think. "What are those weird marks on your flanks?" Damn. Can't say Ass.

"You mean our Cutie Marks?" I nod. "The represent Special talents. Mine is magic. Fluttershy's is Taking care of animals."

I started to ask my next question when a loud crash sounded through the whole library. A Cyan pegasus with a rainbow colored mane and tail crashed through the roof. I felt my bones vibrating and energy surged through my veins. Discord summoned a bubble around him and Fluttershy. Twilight Wrapped her Wings around Spike and Turned away.

I Squeak as I disappear and find myself surrounded by Trees, bushes, and vines. I look around and back up into a tree. "Oh Horseapples."
