So, apparently, after I dropped the spell, the rocks apparently liquified, and were sent hurtling back to their senders. How did I know? Let's just say that the cave I now call home happens to be nearby, and is now covered in mud.
As the two humans ran off, I decided to check again to see if the ponies were okay. They, in fact, were perfectly fine. I overheard some talks of revenge, but it appeared to be quickly dismissed by other ponies appearing to be a mix between pegasi and breezies. On top of that, I've just noticed a small, wingless dragon with a very interesting resemblance to Spike. He seems to be able to communicate with the ponies, as well.
... I've just realized that I can understand the other ponies. Does that mean that the Equish language has been around longer than recorded history?
Never mind that, however, this means that I can get a first-hoof account of the world! And, and...
I felt my stomach grumble in my excitement, reminding me that I still needed something to eat. And so, to avoid any suspicion with the ponies, I decided to recast the cloaking spell on myself, and follow the humans. Surely they have some food lying around. Either that, or I'm counting far too much on the human Rainbow Dash's lack of organization in her room.
Not too long after, I found myself facing a crudely built house-like structure, sitting atop a large spire of dirt and rock. I do feel pretty awful for stealing food, though, and are those donuts that they're eating?
Back at Canterlot, I wasn't much of a donut kinda pony. I typically ate meals at home, made by my parents, and occasionally Cadence. Donts were usually considered a breakfast item back then, but now...
Wait... back then... now... uh, let's see here... "back then" now refers to the future, while "now" is currently referring to this immediate moment, which is in the past, compared to the "back then", and... wait, did I just mentally call donuts donts?
...
...
Meh, I need food to think.
I licked my lips in anticipation, eyeing the donuts with so much focus that I nearly missed another woman enter the room, and chew out the other two, before dragging them out by the ears.
Now was the time. I quickly teleported into the room, and noticing that the donut stack appeared to be self-replenishing, I grabbed as many donuts as possible. Even though I heard what I'd frankly call the strangest singing I've ever heard coming from the next room over, I decided to ignore it, and leave as silently as possible.
I deeply regret deciding not to spy on the humans in the room.
Not knowing my way back, I decided to once again trail the two humans I had seen causing the landslide, in hopes that they'd return to the same location. Instead, they took a drastically different route, heading through a frigid deciduous forest. Along the way, after picking a bouquet of flowers for somebody named "Bumble", a small swarm of what appeared to be anthropomorphic bees swooped down, and begun carrying them off to their hive. In horror, I once again followed closely behind.
It seems that those bees don't like the "flutter-ponies". Now, I'm guessing that Fluttershy would easily change their mind if she were here, but as for now, it appears that the humans and the bee queen, (of whom I found to be the one named Bumble), were plotting to steal the Sunstone from the valley nearby.
The mention of a "Sunstone" got me thinking. I've heard of it a time or two before, in fact, from the Royal Canterlot Archives. It was rumored to be a long-lost artifact, which, in conjunction with the Crystal Heart, was meant to be used to retain a tranquil state of nature in any place that they're used in. To this day, however, the Crystal Heart alone does both the purpose of the supposed Sunstone, and it's own job.
With a tracking spell I modified literally on the fly, I was able to find my way back. I had to warn the ponies, even if it meant that I would likely change history forever. I flew as quickly as my wings could carry me, which was still quite slow compared to Rainbow. I'm just hoping that I'll make it in time.
I didn't.
Interesting, but Twilight still hasn't actually interacted with anyone yet.
Probably for the best. I suspect her sanity will deteriorate among these primitives.
7712732 For now, she's trying her best to not interfere with (what she thinks is) the past, but next chapter she'll try to warn the ponies.
I would have gotten a laugh out of it if you had made Twilight ruminate here about the grammatical issues of talking in the past tense about a future that has yet to happen. She seems like just the type of nerd to do that.
"Wait, should that be 'will have been considered' a breakfast item? Celestia's intangible moustache but I hate time travel."
Well I guess we have to figure out sooner or later because im getting bored here
7712741 ... Lemme add a little section about just that.
7712741 Read it again! I just added that in.
7712769

7712799 What the hell? I...what?
HiddenMaster.exe has stopped functioning.

7712799
This is disturbing and I will post that everywhere.
7712888 Brain.exe has stopped functioning. Please headcrab the headcrab in the derp.
If you're referencing that scene from Rainbow Rocks, I believe you mean Pinkie's room, as that was where they stayed the night in that film.
7713034 I'm assuming that Twilight's ALSO seen RD's room before. Pinkies room, aside from the mysterious donut in her drawer, was pretty neat still.
7712799 what... is that.
7714166 Headcrab.
7714178 that was a retorical question.
7714244
7714247 why do i even try?... that was also a rhetorical question.
7714260 Headcrabs for everyone!
7714269 fluttershy headcrabs? luna headcrabs? aj headcrabs?
7714303 I dunno. I've only seen twilight and scootaloo headcrabs.
7714319 where did you find them?
7714166 Using a mystical engine named Google.
7714499 um, okay then, what did you look up?
okay I'm intrested now, please explain more.
7714815 There's quite a bit to explain... the universe, life, the US election...
What specifically do you want an explanation of?
7714900 I was talking about the story, how you can explain more thru it.
7716309 I'll try to in the next chapter then.
Heheheh, looking more fun the more I read, nice job.
