So, there I was watching an eclipse when my life changed forever. You're probably expecting some "spectacular" event. Like a radioactive spider bite, or a comet crashing into the ground with a rainbow trail behind it, giving me super powers. No. Instead, well... this happened...
I was sitting in my lawn chair, looking up at the sky, thinking about a dream humans had since they could dream: flight. The ability to soar has always been so appealing to humans. And that was exactally, what I was thinking about. I like to think. I need to think to keep up with Uncs. He's always thinking. All the time. I've always wanted to think like that, but I don't think I have the "mental capacity" for it, whatever that means. Uncs has been a great caretaker and an equal role model... minus his "book hybernations." I do love him... I just sometimes wish he didn't go into those hybernations, or that he could take me with him. I pushed my mind off of that and decided to focus on another dream of mine: love. Living in the middle of nowhere Oregon, isn't exactly plentiful with opportunities to fall in love. So for me, romance is just a daydream, an element of stories. I looked up at the sky and saw a shooting star. I didn't have time to make a wish before it started zig-zagging in a horizontal direction, leaving behind a white trail. After a few moments, the star stopped moving and faded. The white trail was still there. It looked like a glowing crack.
The crack the floated down from the sky, as if it were only a few feet up. I saw the glowing crack, hovering a few feet above the ground. It then opened. Out of it, shot a grey blur. The blur slammed into me (more to the left), and I felt two pinpricks of pain in my left arm. Something (two somethings) from the grey object was puncturing my arm. I was flying with it for a few feet before we crashed to the ground. The thing rolled off of me and what was puncturing my arm came out. I moved my hand to the spot where I was injured. Something cool and liquid was there. I was dazed from haveing an object thrown at me from a glowing space crack, so I couldn't see it clearly, but my jacket sleeve was very slowly turning red. I balled up my sleeve and covered the wound. I then looked at the object. My jaw dropped. Standing before me, was a horse, a small horse, but still a horse. It was gray with a navy blue main and tail. It also had grey bat wings. It looked like a male. The crack closed and vanished.
"What the-" I began. I was cut off by the horse, talking.
"Ugh, my head." He said, rubbing his head with a hoof. A small pain began to emanate from the wound. I gripped my arm tighter.
"What?!?" I exclaimed upon hearing the talking horse. "Who, or what are you?!?" I asked. He turned and looked at me. His eyes bulged and he jumped up.
"I am Dusk Glider." He said, coolly. I found it funny but was too stunned to laugh. He smiled, and I got a good view of his bat fangs. I saw one drop of blood fall from one of them. I shuddered. "I am a thestral- or, bat pony. And... what they hay are you?" He asked, pointing his hoof at me. "Some sort of, pony eating monster?"
"What? No! I don't eat ponies, I'm a human." I replied.
"Few! That's a load off!" Dusk sighed with relief. He then noticed my arm. "Oh my gosh! Are you ok?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." I say. I suddenly felt achy all over. "Actually, I don't feel so good." I groan, slumping on my side. He takes a few steps toward me.
"Wait, did you say 'human'?" Dusk asked. I nod, then look up at him. He opens his mouth and starts licking his fangs. I notice he has a worried look on his face. When his tongue touched the fang with blood on it, he froze. Dusk gulped and looked at me.
"What?" I ask.
"Nothing, nothing." He obviously lies. I look at him, with a face that says: "Yeah right, that's total crap. Give me the truth."
"Well, you see-" He started as if he didn't want to say what he was about to say. He was then abruptly cut off by me, howling in pain. "You're about to find out."
I'm interested in seeing where this rabbit hole goes.
5942467 maybe there will be lots of carrots
do you mean a 'comet'? because a 'comment' is what this thing is...
secondly,
How many more of these cracks are there? We've reached at least twenty by now.
The Crack was it a reference to Doctor Who?
