Chapter 3
"Don't panic human." The lavender pony creature takes a very slow step towards me, and I follow with one back. This continues until I feel my back hit the wall of the underground parking unit. I push my hands against the gritty wall, as if hoping to find a secret passage. "Please, I won't hurt you, I promise." Her sweet voice and innocent eyes stirred mixed emotions in me. By one hand I was terrified on the front that I had no idea what was going on, or how this was at all possible. By the other hand I was struck with a bolt of curiosity, what was this creature. To be completely honest her exterior wasn't anything that was "threatening" but again, confusion masked everything. By the time I had fully assessed the situation being stood but a few feet away from me. She was rather small, coming to just below my thigh.
"Who are you?" I say a little more calmly now, staring into its eyes.
"My name is Twilight Sparkle, I am a princess of Equestria, student of Princess Celestia" I cock an eyebrow at her.
"Princess of Equestria?" I look at her strangely "Where is Equestria?"
"In terms of from this very location..... I'm not entirely sure. I came here with the help of Princess Celestia, luna, and the elements of harmony." I find myself getting more and more confused every word she speaks. "I came here looking for somebody."
"I don't understand Twilight, I've haven't so much as heard of half the things your talking about..." I shake my head
"Can I show you something?" She asks innocently her eyes seemingly lighting up, as if a fire had just been ignited. I shrug casually, attempting to hide my fear.
"I suppose?" She gestures for me to get on my knees, and after a minuet of hesitation I obey. She closes the last few feet very slowly her horn illuminating more brightly with each small step. By the time she reaches me I have to close my eyes because of how bright the light is, and moments later I feel something gently touch my forehead. My physical sense of conciousness leaves me.
"I can feel the magic coming from their world. A revolution will start if we don't step in."
"Have faith in me princess, I can fix this."
"Remember to asses the situation my student, if its necessary put the element out and leave immediately after."
"Understood."
I squint my eyes painfully and let out a low groan, as I realise my face currently lie on the cold cement of the parking unit. I attempt to open my eyes but can barely open them a crack, and even that was nothing but a blur. I feel something soft touch my forehead as I grunt again. "You've come to already?" I gently bat away whatever it was that had touched me and manage to mumble some words.
"T-twilight? What did you do to me? I can't see..." I feel the same soft warmth gently place my hand down and touch my forehead again.
"I-I'm sorry, this wasn't supposed to happen, you should have been out for hours...." I angrily sigh.
"What the hell.... WHY the hell do you want that??"
"It's a spell.. It was supposed to..... Explain more...." I sigh once more, this time keeping a calm voice.
"You mean put my element out?" The warmth leaves my forehead as I realise that Twilight had immediately pulled away.
"How do you know?" I hear pacing to my left. "Who told you?"
"You did, that... "spell" allowed me to hear two people talking, you and somebody else, something about an element and putting it out if necessary.."
"Here, relax, I'll help you up." A strange feeling wraps itself around me, and I shudder uncontrollably. I feel myself lazily lift off the ground and before long I'm on my feet, trying my best to stay on my feet. I shudder once more and Twilight speaks again "What?"
"That felt.... Fizzy..." I hear her giggle lightly as the whole situation suddenly turns oddly friendly.
"Now, lets get that vision back for you." I hear her horn begin to charge up again, and immediately after I can hear a fizzle sound. "What!????"
"What...."
"My spell was just cancelled, you seem to be fighting it."
"'I'm not doing anything!" I raise my arms in frustration
"Well then I suppose you aren't getting your vision back for awhile...." I sigh sadly, turning around dumbly, trying to get a sense of direction. "Unless." I stop and look towards the voice. "You could hold your breath until your nearly unconscious, then I could cast the spell on you..." I try to find a valid point to argue on, but find none. I wanted my vision back, badly. I take a deep breath and hold it in. Hours seem to pass as I hear twilight begin to gently tap what I assumed was her hoof. It was starting to get hard, I wanted to breath, but I wanted my vision back more. I can hear her starting to charge the spell again, waiting. Eventually I begin to lose balance and sway, I get light headed, and then I'm falling. I can see that I'm falling. I can see! I'M FALLING! I open my mouth to yell, but I'm caught by something. I open my eyes assuring myself that I was no longer falling, I open my eyes to see the same orbs of purple that I had found myself getting lost in before except now bangs nearly covered them. I was staring, I knew that, but I was confused, and entranced all at once.
"Hi....." I say with a derpy smile.
"C-can- you......" I realise that she's holding me up, and quickly get to my feet. I can see her fully now, she was human. She was wearing jeans, and a T-shirt, her hair matched her main, purple with that pink stripe in the middle. She had the largest eyes I had ever seen. "It would appear that your vision has returned." She says, catching her breath, and brushing herself off.
"You're...... a human now." I rub my head in utmost confusion.
"Its a spell.... Although it drains me severely, and I can't keep this form for very long...." She yawns, and I sigh.
"Everything is a spell with you isn't it?" She blushes lightly and kicks a foot.
"Hey... you wouldn't have any place to stay would you?" She rubs her bare forearm gently. "I've been hiding around town, and it's not exactly the most comfortable thing..." My eyes widen at the sudden change in subject, and i stutter.
"W-well yeah of course.... uhhh, I guess...." She looks relieved and walks over to me I lead the way, heading home.
What is happening, just while ago this thing was the scariest thing I had ever encountered in my entire life, and now I'm letting it move in with me? It's strange, It almost feels like we're bonding. I feel a connection to her, she's so friendly. Although there are still so, so many questions I have about her. What, and where is Equestria? Why is she here, and what's all this about putting out an element? My element.... What's an element. I sigh, looking over to the still relived looking Twilight gently fidgeting her hands. Girl, you better not make me regret taking you in. I smile at her, she doesn't seem to notice.
