//------------------------------// // Chapter 2: Magical World // Story: Where am I? What are you? // by MomentumCrow //------------------------------// "Uhhhhh....", David moans after waking up in the middle of nowhere, but this place looks like it's nothing. It's a complete screen of whiteness. "Where am I? Hello?", David tries to call for help but nothing responds. He still get those visions he was having awhile back, but he didn't knew how long he was passed out. "Hello David.", a soft voice sounds like it was coming from behind David. He turned around just to see what looks like a tall white figure, almost didn't even noticed because she was blending in with the whole whiteness screen. "Who are you? Where am I right now? And where's my family?!", David still doesn't remember what has happened just awhile ago. The figure chuckles, " I'll tell you who I am the next time I meet you, but we need to show you what happen. Take a seat Dave and let's watch 'Television'". A seat and a Television just appeared out of nowhere, David doesn't have the time to say anything, so he took a seat. The television looks like it was going through the news channel, it pause for one specific channel. "So Josh, anything interesting lately?", one of the broadcaster said. "I heard that there is a crash in England that hasn't been figured out yet, nobody knows what are the causes of it." "Can anyone identify the people in the car?" "They have identified that the driver is 'David Cambridge' and the other three are his family. The driver died in the crash, the other survive and got out with only minor injuries." "Why don't we head down to Jane for an interview of the victim?" "Hello everybody, I'm Jane and now live at the crash site and next to one of the Survivor, Sheryn Cambridge. So tell me Sheryn, can you recall what happen?" Sheryn was still in shocked after that tragedy hits her but then she spoke up, "I can't remember anything, one moment we were in the car, he was driving but he lost control of the wheel and crashed into a box truck and... I'm sorry I can't take this anymore." Sheryn wipes out the remaining tears on her face but it was too much for her to clean them off. The TV shut down and disappeared, David still remain shocked after hearing what can't be unheard, 'The driver died in the crash'. He spoke up, "I'm... dead?" "You're dead but you're not dead." David just sitting there, still trying to figure out what did she meant. "You're one of the few people in the entire planet can have two lives in different universe." "Let me get this straight," David took a deep breath before saying, "I died in my old planet and got resurrected here, talking you and knowing what happen after I died and now you're giving me another life on another planet that nobody knows it exist. Is that right?" "You are right, human." "I-I-Is there a way to get me back in the future?", David asked with a sad tone. "I'm afraid there are no ways of getting back to your life, I'm sorry David. But do not worry, you will still have your old body. That's a 29 years advantage." "I guess that makes everything better, so when am I gonna live another life?" "You journey starts now, David" "Wait wha-", before he could open his mouth, he was teleported into a deep dark forest. Location: Equestria, Everfree Forest. "Ow-ow-ow-OW!", multiple branches snapped and David crashed landed precisely into a bush filled with thorns. "Remind myself to tell people not to teleport me in the middle of nowhere in the forest!", David said while taking every thorns out of his arms and sweeping all of the dirt off his clothes. 'Where am I?', David thought to himself while looking at his surroundings. David pause and mumbles to himself, "If this is a new life, I need to find civilization first." He looked both left and right before choosing his way to go. Suddenly, a growling was heard in a nearby bush, David freezes and held his breath making sure he doesn't move a muscle. Emerge from the bush, a wolf burst out and attacks David right at his left arm. This wolf isn't the normal ones he had saw on movies or shows, this one was made totally out of wood! David tries to shakes free but it was no use, the grip of the wolf's jaw was too powerful, he tries punching it several times in the head but still nothing works. Before he could lost his consciousness, a purple beam came out of nowhere, his eyes were begging to kept open. He blacked out before the one who saved him got in his view. A few hours later. David woke up in the same realm of nothingness next to that same figure he has talked to before. David let out a long sigh before saying, "Am I dead again?" The figure chuckles and respond, "No David, you're just in a deep sleep after that Timberwolf bit you." "Timberwolf? Is that the thing I just encounter before?", David asked with a questioning look on his face. "Yes David, that thing is called Timberwolf. It is one of the most powerful creatures in the Everfree Forest, might as well say that you can't go there." "Can't go there? You teleported me into the middle of the forest! Are you trying to get me killed again?" "I'm sincerely sorry for doing that, teleporting is hard for me to do. But don't worry, by the time you wake up, you'll be laying on a more comfortable place than falling from a tree." "Alright, you said you were going to tell me your name the next time I meet you. Are you gonna tell me your name or what?" "I'm glad you asked, my name is Cassiel." "It's a plessure meeting you, Cassiel." He gesture his hand for a handshake but Cassiel just stands there doing nothing, "No? Okay then." "I'm sorry David, I might look like I was made out of flesh but I'm actually untouchable. You've been unconscious for along time, it's time to wake up." "Wait, wha-", before he could finished his sentence, he was teleported again but this time, he wasn't on a tree tumbling down into a pile of dirt. He was actually laying on a couch, looks like Cassiel wasn't lying at all! 'Now then, back to figuring out where I-', his thoughts are once again interrupted by a small purple horse-shape thing right in the kitchen, he assumed it was the kitchen because he saw the sink and every equipment needed to be a kitchen. Suddenly, the purple equine turns directly to David's couch, he freezes and eyes wide like a deer in a headlight. The pony was the one who spoke up after a long stare from both of them, "Oh good! You woke up just in time for lunch!" followed up with a joyful glee. David's eyes are still wide, his mouth was open up to respond but the only thing he could do was let out a horrible scream that could have probably startled the whole neighborhood. "Where am I?! What are you?!! Please don't tear me apart and eat me up like a dinosaur!", David said while still freaking out by the fact that he hasn't seen a single talking pony in his entire life besides animated shows. "Calm down, I'm not gonna tear you apart and eat you up. I'm actually help you right now by cooking some delicious soup!", the pony said and let out a few chuckles. "I'm still scared by the fact that you didn't answer my question, where am I and what are you?", David was still petrified and shocked after hearing a pony talk. "Oh! I'm sorry for my bad manners, my name is Twilight Sparkles and you're in the Golden Oaks Library." "Not like what's your name and where is the current place I'm in, like what kind of evolved animal are you and how can you talk and what planet am I in right now." "Hmm, it does seems like you are not belong here since I have never a creature like you, here before. But, your questions will be answered, you are now currently in Equestria, a land ruled by two rulers: Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, one raises the moon and one raises the sun." "Woah woah woah, hold on a second. Raising the sun and the moon? It doesn't raise by themselves?" "I'm glad you asked, I have no idea. I guess it was meant that way." 'Interesting little planet I'm living in' , David mumbles to himself while denying eye contact with Twilight. "So now I've told everything about me, why don't you introduce yourself?", Twilight said while smiling, 'She doesn't seem scared about my appearance. Eh, let's just roll with it.' "My name is David Cambridge, I live on a planet called Earth. On Earth, there are multiple countries and continents across it and I live in a place called London ruled by Queen Elizabeth. The kind of creature you are talking to is called 'Human', they are a very intelligent beings that has been living for thousands of years. We have everything from light bulbs, planes, cars and other stuffs that are very useful for us humans.", David slowly realized that he has said something smart for a long time now. "That sounds really interesting! Can you tell me more about you and your home planet? Pretty please?", Twilight said while pouting her lips just to convince David. "Sorry Ms Twilight Sparkles, but I'm very tired right now after that thing bit me. I can you everything by tomorrow, and I also need a tour of this place." "It's okay. Oh and please, call me Twilight, I'm not that old to be called Ms anyways." "Okay, are you gonna give me the soup you were offering before?", David said while trying to hold his laugh. "Oh! I forgot! Thanks for reminding me, I'll be back with a bowl filled with soup!", Twilight ran into the kitchen with a blush on her face." 'Silly little nerdy pony.", he thought to himself while chuckling. Tomorrow is a new day, a new part of his life starts now.
