To say that Anon was having a normal day would be a lie. Although the beginning of his day had started off normally with him waking up in the morning and getting ready for his day, after putting on his suit, he went into his kitchen and looked in his pantry looking for something for his breakfast.
After a few minutes of coming up with nothing he heard a whooshing sound coming from under him. He then looked down to see a purple whirlpool under his feet. “What the HELLLL!” He screamed out as he was pulled into the whirlpool.
As he fell through the whirlpool his vision was filled with flashing colors that would give him a seizure. As he fell he thought about what the hell he had done to deserve this. After a few minutes of him thinking about what had happened throughout his life that would have led to this happening to him, he had found the flashing colors disappear from his vision. He soon found himself looking up at a mostly clear sky.
‘Huh weird.’ He thought thinking about how he had ended up outside. ‘Maybe that weird whirlpool thing was some sort of portal.’ He then decided to sit up onto his shoulders and look around at his surroundings.
The first thing that caught his attention was that he couldn’t see his house anywhere. Instead he found himself surrounded by what looked like small stone huts. He then noticed that a few feet in front of him was a large statue that resembled a dragon with a few of his body parts swapped out for other animal’s limbs.
“What the heck…” Anon said out loud to himself. He then found himself floating a few feet off the ground. He looked down at his body to see that a golden aura was surrounding his body. “Huh what the hell!?” He exclaimed struggling to free himself from the golden aura.
“Calm yourself creature we mean you no harm.” A calm motherly voice said from behind Anon. This calming voice had the affect of calming him down slowly. He then found himself being turned around to face the source of the voice that was behind him.
“What the. Horses?” Anon said looking at the two horses that were standing in front of him. He then noticed that they both had a set of wings and also a horn on either of their heads. He also noticed that their coat colors were like none that he had never seen. The shorter of the pair of horses had a dark blue coat, he also noticed that her mane was flowing through the air, it also had what looked like stars scattered through it.
He then took notice of the taller of the duo. This horse’s coat was an alabaster white, her mane was a combination of blue, light green, pink and cyan. He then saw that her horn was glowing in the same golden aura that he was trapped in. “Horses no we are ponies.” The dark blue pony had said to Anon.
This caused Anon to freeze in his golden aura prison. “Wait you can talk?” Anon said his voice shaking slightly.
“Yes we can. Why do you sound surprised?” The taller of the two asked him.
Anon then proceed to do what any person would do when confronted by two talking ponies/horses. Pass out.
Anon slowly woke up to find himself in a bed. “Dammit that was one hell of a dream.” He said sitting himself up on his shoulders, slowly he rubbed his eyes before looking around. When he looked around he found that he was inside what seemed to be a hospital room.
“Where the hell am I?” Anon asked aloud taking in his surroundings.
“You would be in the castle infirmary.” A voice to his left said.
When Anon looked to his left he found a small unicorn that was wearing a nurse’s outfit. “Did you just talk?” Anon asked the small unicorn.
“Why yes I did. Why do you sound surprised sir?” The unicorn said, her voice had a feminine tone to it so Anon took a chance guess that this unicorn was a mare.
“Because horses don’t talk.” Anon said. “And before you say that you’re a unicorn so you can talk. Unicorns don’t talk either.” Anon stated barely keeping himself from fainting.
“Well first of all I’m a pony. Second of all why are you still surprised that I can talk?” The mare said.
“A pony unicorn okay then.” Anon said rubbing his head. “Also where I come from ponies don’t talk so this is a bit freaky.”
“Well I truly am sorry for startling you sir.” She said a look of guilt on her face.
“Well not your fault.” Anon said getting a look of relief on the mare’s face. “Wait a sec you said castle infirmary right?” Anon asked her raising an eyebrow at her.
“Didn’t you know that after you fell out of a portal created by Discord, you were brought here by the princesses after you had passed out.” She said gesturing to the hospital bed.
“Okay then. Well do you think that you could take me to these princesses of your’s.” He said moving to get out of the bed.
“Sure thing.” The nurse said before trotting to the door to the infirmary. “Just follow me okay, you don’t want to get lost.”
“How would I get lost?” Anon asked as he followed the nurse.
“Well it’s quite a large castle we’re in.” The nurse said as they walked out of the infirmary. Anon’s mouth hung slightly ajar when he saw how far off the ground the ceiling was. “Told you it was large. Now c’mon we mustn’t keep the princesses waiting.” She said.
It was then that Anon took notice of the nurse’s flanks. Each of her flanks had an image on them. The image on the nurse’s flanks was a needle stabbed into a red cross. The nurse then turned around to see that Anon was looking at her flanks. “Any reason you’re staring at my flanks?” The nurse asked stopping in Anon’s path.
“Oh sorry about that.” Anon said rubbing the back of his neck a small blush creeping up on his face. “Just that where I come from ponies don’t have marks on their flanks.”
“Okay then. Good to know you aren’t a creep.” She said before continuing walking down the hall.
Anon decided to quickly catch up with her. “Name’s Anon by the way.” Anon said looking down at the pony. “What would your name be?”
“Well my name is Caring Needle. But you can just call me Nurse Needle.”
“Well nice to meet you Miss Needle.”
It was then that Anon had noticed that they had stopped outside a set of large wooden doors. “Here we are.” Needle said as her horn glowed and the doors opened. “They want to see you alone so I can’t go in with you.”
“Well when I’m done here I’ll come say hello.” Anon said as he walked through the doors giving Needle a wave.
As Anon walked into a large room he saw that on the other end of the room were two thrones. Atop these thrones were the two ponies that Anon had met when he first arrived in this strange land. The Princesses.
Once Anon got close enough he did the first thing he would do if he met royalty. He bent down onto one knee in front of them. This had the affect of the two princesses looking between each other before the blue one spoke up. “You may rise creature.”
“A pleasure to meet you princesses.” Anon said as he rose from his kneeling position. “Sorry that our first meeting wasn’t the best.”
“It is no problem.” The white princess said. “Now what would be your name?”
“My name is Anon, your highness. May I please have the honor of having your names.” Anon said bowing his head slightly.
“Well Anon, I am Princess Celestia.” The white pony said. She then gestured to the other princess. “And this is my sister, Princess Luna.”
“Well a pleasure to know your names.” Anon said giving them a slight bow.
“Good to hear that.” Luna said to Anon. “Now please tell us what exactly are you Anon?” She said raising an eyebrow.
“Well I am what is know as a human.” Anon said as Celestia gave him a small nod.
“Well then Anon do you know how you came to be here?” Celestia asked.
“Well if I remember correctly, I was standing in my house getting ready for my day when I was suddenly pulled through some sort of multi-colored whirlpool.” Anon explained.
“Sounds like you were pulled through a portal.” Celestia said. “Unfortunately we cannot send you back to where you came from Anon.”
That got Anon to freeze in place. “Sorry princess can you please repeat that.” Anon said his voice slightly shaking.
“To elaborate Anon, my sister and I do not have the power to send you back. I am sorry.” Celestia said gravely.
“Okay then.” Anon said worry lacing his shaky voice. He then fell onto his rear, hands running through his hair.
Celestia and Luna noticed this happen and hopped off of their thrones. “Anon are you alright?” Luna asked him.
“Anon calm down alright everything is fine.” Celestia said as she did the first thing that came to her mind. She pulled Anon into a hug with her wings.
This managed to get Anon to freeze in her grasp and for his breathing to calm down. “Thanks for that princess.” Anon said as Celestia released him from the hug. “Guess I’m stuck here.”
“Unfortunately yes.” Luna said. “But I am sure we could figure something out.”
“Good point Luna.” Celestia said as Anon stood up. “If it is alright with you Anon, we would like for you to stay here at the castle with us.”
“That sounds nice, thanks princess.” Anon said giving the royal duo a warm smile.
“Please call me Celestia.” Celestia said before looking to her sister.
“And just call me Luna.” The lunar princess said.
“Alright then.” Anon said before his gaze was caught to the princess’s sides. “Are those wings?” He asked gesturing to the feathery appendages.
“Why yes they are.” Celestia said unfurling her wings. “Alicorns have both wings and a horn.”
“Alicorn?” Anon asked them raising an eyebrow.
“If thou are wondering Alicorns are a combination of all three pony races. Earth pony, Pegasi and Unicorn.” Luna explained.
“So you two are like gods?” Anon asked them.
“No we are not. But our subjects see us as that.” Celestia said before placing a hoof to her chin. Her horn then began to glow in the golden aura that Anon had seen from before.
After a few seconds a unicorn appeared in a flash of red next to Anon. This had the affect of sending Anon flying a few feet in the air from the small jump scare. After taking a glance at Anon the new arrival looked up to Celestia. “You summoned me Princess.”
“Yes I did Raven. Now if you don’t mind could you please show Anon here to a spare room, as he will be staying in the castle for the foreseeable future.”
“Of course princess.” Raven said giving Celestia a small bow, before turning to the throne room doors.
Anon then decided to give the princesses a wave goodbye as he followed Raven out of the throne room.
