I think the dream I had with Princess Luna was most enlightening, if it were real. Half of me thinks it’s not real and the other half is convinced the Princess of the Night graced me with her presence last night in my dreams.

But, curiosity is drawing me back to the city where I left a few days ago to find anything that remained of family or friends. Even a token of the past I know well of will satisfy me. I guess maybe it’s me just trying to accept this weird future, maybe it’s just for closure and one last good-bye.

On the other hand, I need to figure out my plan for the here and future. I will need to get a job for money, get some sort of house and figure things out from there.

There’s also a third concern in my mind, the running fast thing I had when I ran to Ponyville. It must clearly be magic. But then the question begs why have I not been turned into a quadpeded magical creature like a pony or a griffon?

I assumed I was immune like other human beings, or perhaps the freezing thing that scientist did negated the turning process but still gained magic? There is clearly more than running magic, maybe some to do with combat as I am not sure if the other immortal beings have heard of me and I am not too sure they will be as agreeable with my existence as the ponies are.

To be safe, I must find this magic out, also some helpful uses in daily life would be nice too. But I must keep the magic a secret, as far as I know, the humans that were immune did not have magic and that’s what caused all that extinction of our kind thing. I still do not trust Celestia fully, admittedly a side of caution is natural considering past events and such.

My first concern cannot be accessed until I have some way to get down without breaking my bones, unless I could convince a Pegasus or maybe an Alicorn if need be to lift me down there and then back up. Also tying in the first concern is that scientist, I wanna know about him, there must be some detail to why he froze me, why not himself? 

Second concern will go in the works for now, I am still uncertain of what path may occur.

I think I should focus on this magic, if there is truly magic for me, then it would be wise to figure it out in case danger heads my way from the aforementioned immortals and if Celesita and Luna find out about it and goes downhill, I will at least need to hold them off for an escape because I can just feel they’re too powerful to take head on if it goes south.

For my magic plan to work, I’ll need to exit town where many pony’s eyes cannot pry.





“Twilight, I’m going out” I say to the mare reading a book
“Okay” Twilight says
“I’ll be around town if you need me” I say
“Okay, have a good time” Twilight says without looking up
“Yes mom” I said sarcastically

It’s sort of ironic using the mom joke, since I am older her in frozen actual living time and the actual time that’s passed (3000 years). And I half-lied where I was going, I was going out of town but I will be around it’s general area.

Anyway, I walk off out of town with maybe a hello or two on the way by some ponies I’ve met, like Vinyl Scratch, the DJ mare from the party, Pinkie Pie of course who came out a bush for no reason and some mare with a sky blue like coat and a yellow mane called Cloud Kicker. I should make a note to be careful around her because she apparently has a reputation to seduce mares and stallions like she is Barney Stinson or something. I have a feeling that list may not exclude one-of-a-kind humans.





So here I was, out in the lush green fields as far as the eye could see in some directions, but some ran into mountains and such. It gives off a peaceful vibe, sort of relaxing and such. There’s plenty of space to find out some magic powers.

I mean, who doesn’t want magic powers? It would be a lot of help in life and besides, it’s not like I have advanced technology or something on my side, thanks to magic being an EMP to technology.

I decided to go for a full out sprint in a random direction, I sped up to speeds definitely not possible, I’d say 200km/h was my speed, thank god I didn’t trip or my face would be bruised as hell. But the wind on the face and all that, that feels good.

So I can turn into a human Sonic the hedgehog, what else can I do? I pulled out a hand and tried to summon a beam or something, but man I look really stupid if anyone was watching.

I guess I am doing it wrong or no magic beam powers. Umm…what else could a magical being do? Ummm…how about jumping?

I do a jump, it seems pretty normal to me. I jump again, still nothing. I try double-jumping…nothing but I did hover down slowly, if I could hold that sort of thing from a height, I may have my entry ticket in, but getting out is the hard part, unless I could fly or something.

Maybe, since Unicorns do magic by their horns, it seems humans may have something different as their magical output points, it has to be the fingers.

I tried for an hour or two, before I gave up. It would have been better if I read some magic books or something. Maybe it will give some insight into this magic thing, all I learned is to hover to the ground, even did it from a tree so I guess that’s something.

Speaking of something, Rarity said new clothes should be ready any time soon, I should go see her and besides, despite a bath, my clothes smell like…OH GOD THAT SMELLS AWFUL!





KNOCK KNOCK!

“Come in” I hear Rarity’s voice

I walk into her shop, praying the clothes are ready because I am really starting to get self-conscious of the smell.

‘Hello Joel darling, I have your clothes ready” Rarity says
“Oh that’s great, these clothes are starting to smell” I said thankfully
“I don’t get why you must wear those dirty clothes” Rarity said with a hoof over her muzzle
“Uh, let’s just say it’s very taboo to be going out in public without clothes” I explain this again
“Shall we try on the clothes then?” Rarity asks, understanding what I said
“Sure” I agree to try them on

So, it turns out she made clothes similar to ones I was wearing. The clothes are very light, as though no weight had been given on them.

“These are good, they feel light as a feather” I say gratefully
“Yes indeed, they even have enchantments on them for protection, rips on the clothes won’t happen as much as others. One cannot be too careful, especially with the amount of accidents Rainbow Dash causes, don’t get me wrong, she means well but she really needs to slow down” Rarity explains

I guess that’s fair, since I got ran over into a pancake yesterday by Rainbow Dash.

“Thank you very much for your help, Rarity” I thanked
“You are most welcome darling, if you ever need more clothes or something special, do come by!” Rarity says as I leave

As I left, I couldn’t help but notice a young white filly with a sort of curly mane with her entering Rarity’s shop. I wonder if the two are related? But that’s none of my concern.

It’s a little windy today, I still got ponies staring at me even after that party, I’d wish they’d stop.

But right now, I’m a bit bored. Forgive me, but our race is so hooked on technology for entertainment, it just seems so boring without it. Perhaps there are other things that could pass the time. Makes me wish I could go back down in the old city and see if I can find some clues about Humanity’s downfall or maybe something about that scientist because he or she does grab my curiosity just a bit.

I think I might head back to the library and learn a bit more on how magic works, maybe I can discover some other abilities to use and maybe protect myself better just in case something hostile ever comes. In a magical place like this, there has to be something that is of ill will existing out there.

And if it ever comes, I will not be caught unprepared…
