Day 32
Man, I tell ya. Being trapped in stone…. It’s strange. I can’t breathe, I can’t move; yet at the same time, there's no stiffness that you’d expect from being in one position for an extended period of time. It’s more of an annoyance than anything; being unable to move or change what you’re looking at. But I know it will end up pissing me off at some point or another.
Admittedly, it is kinda dehumanizing. Others look at ya and don’t even acknowledge that you are, or even were a person. They just look at you with the same regard a child has for something they’ve never seen before; passing curiosity, but never an actual interest.
Actually, that wouldn’t be a fair assessment. Not EVERYONE looks at me like that. The one who put me in this situation will frown every time she sees me. I’d return the favor, but I’m a bit stuck at the moment. I can’t even do anything to try and spite her. Eh, I guess my mere existence will have to suffice.
What’s also annoying is the constant barrage of information constantly cluttering my vision. What do I mean by this? Well, I came into contact with a certain… artifact let's call it. From what I can gather, it allows me to get information on things just by looking at them. Sounds cool, right? Well not when you can’t control it. They look like little transparent popup windows you’d see as a hud on a computer game or something like that. Not that I can see my own information, rather I can see others. How it’s like that if it’s an ancient artifact? Hell if I know. My best guess is that it adapts to a form that’s familiar with the one who has it. All I know is that when I stared at it for too long it felt like somebody was stabbing my eye.
The first few days I was practically blind due to how much text I saw. My left eye is the only one affected by this it seems, as when I closed it, it would all stop. That lil tidbit doesn’t help me right now though, as I can’t really close it. I’ve managed tone it back a bit through sheer force of will, but it’s still fairly cluttered. At least I can see something other than words now though.
Speaking of things other than words, here comes lil miss sunshine herself. Looks like her sister is with her. She only gives me a passing glance, while her sister stops when she’s in front of me. She sits down and stares up at me. Unfortunately I can’t really get a good look at her as my vision is locked in one direction. Not being able to move my eyes and such.
“Sister, why did we have to use the elements on this one?” She asks after staring at me for a moment.
Celestia stops and turns back around to look at her sister. Eyeing me as she walks back to her sister, she speaks. “This one possessed a dangerous power. That’s why.”
‘Dangerous my ass! I'm more of a hazard to myself than anything; my vision is so poor with this left eye that I’m liable to walk off a cliff without even realizing it! Well… I was.’
Luna tilted her head at me with a frown. “Yes, I know. You told me when you were trying to convince me to use it on it. I mean what makes his power so dangerous? Let alone what even is it?”
Celestia pondered this for a moment, as if she didn’t know. Which would really piss me off if she didn’t have a good reason. “It came about when Discord was still running about. Surely it can’t be good.”
‘Don’t call me Shirley! Wait, don’t call me an ‘it’ either!’
“That doesn’t answer my question, sister.” Luna threw at her.
Celestia let out a sigh. “There’s just no hiding things from you, is there?”
Luna shook her head and maintained her no bullshit look.
“You remember something called a “Left Eye”?”
Now they had my attention, whereas before I was only half paying attention and mocking them. the hell was a Left Eye?
Luna’s eyes widened at just the mention of it, which couldn’t be good. I may not like these Ponies but that doesn’t mean I wanna be under something’s control or whatever this could entail.
“You mean THE Left Eye? Who’s last holder was undefeatable in battle, at least according to legend?” Luna asked aloud.
Celestia nodded. “The very same.”
Now this confused me. I don’t see how this thing could have any practical battle applications. Maybe in a logistical sense, but not in actual battle. Who was this “undefeatable” person? Why did they have to use this power for bad? Fucked it up for me ya know!
“But… just because it has the Left Eye, that means it was inherently evil? How is that fair of us to assume that of it? Who are we to consider ourselves judge, jury, and executioner?”
‘Thank you! A voice of reason!’
Celestia at least had it in her to look guilty at that. “Perhaps not. But it was not a risk to be taken while Discord was still out. Perhaps, in another time, we might have been able to be friends. But what’s done is done. If I could go back I would still do it the same way.” she actually looked a slight bit downtrodden by that fact.
Unfortunately for her, her answer only seemed to piss me off even more than her having no answer at all. ‘All based on a what if?! A possibility!? Fuck you too Celestia!’ sighing internally, I try to calm myself. ‘There’s nothing for it. I’m stuck like this for god knows how long, maybe even forever. During my little mental bout with myself I failed to notice a few things the two said, as they had now just finished up a hug and were once again on their way.
Sighing to myself, I resign myself back to my fate. Watching the environment. Can’t even sleep to pass the time… And I LOVE sleeping! damnit!

An eternal witness is he? Hmm, he'll likely go mad for a while, say around year 50-200, that'll be a bad time, then he may "get bored" and achieve sanity again from the other side. By the time a millennia has passed, there will really be no telling where his personality will be.
How to spend 1000 years...
hes going mad within the year if he cant sleep, but will follow
9287763 As a sentient mineral now, I highly doubt what passes for a 'brain' in his stony skull requires the biologically-restorative qualities of sleep any longer.
At any rate, he'd go mad from the immobility and isolation in a couple weeks at most.
Try sitting still for an entire day (bathroom breaks aside) with NOTHING to do but stare at the same scene in the yard.
Unless you are well-practices in meditation, you won't be able to bear it.
Now, think about doing that for a week... a month... the average mind would be a wreck already.
Also, he's human... so how did he get into Equestria in the first place? The artifact? Discord?
9285949 Goku would be absolutely fine as he has no mind to break.
9295224
he'd just keep thinking about how much he misses his muffin button.

Noe there’s the wonders of magic. It means that he won’t go insane, possibly by magical restorative means. And he’s a rock. Time won’t pass quite the same way.
Wonder how it would feel if he was broken?
Interesting artifact. In Norse mythology, Odin was said to have sacrificed one of his eye in exchange for knowledge and wisdom.
"Our precious Left Eye"
Does this artifact happen to look somewhat like this?

Ah, damn! Did notice the author's note.

nope :P. stated right from the get go, Left eye has no correlation to bayonetta whatsoever.

And was unbeatable... though that's for the spear too
Celestia made a huge mistake. She knows absolutely nothing about the situation. For all she knows, she just started an extinction war against her species against an unknown. What she did was incomprehensibly stupid. To be fair, at this point she isn't exactly the wise and experienced ruler from the show. She's a noob, over her head, and desperate. The only thing is that a desperate human would be afraid of attacking the unknown specifically because the consequences are unknown because that usually bites you in the ass whereas Celestia's reason is to do this because he is an unknown. Our species' experience on Earth ingrained a deep instinct of fearing unknown consequences and avoiding them as much as we can. Equestria is basically Candyland, so the idea of there actually being consequences for their actions is a mostly alien concept to them (something the show especially makes clear).

Well ... i had similar thoughts myself , but i have never seen somebody ekspres the idea as well as you . ( Equestria is a land of peace and prosperity and said peace and prosperity has made its inhabitants weak bodied , weak minded, weak spirited, emotionally and morali weak . )
I have not seen a example of too much comfort corrupting a creature like here in this chapter of this story .
Two-billion, six-hundred and twenty-eight million bottles of cider on the wall.
Two-billion, six-hundred and twenty-eight million bottles of cider.
Take one down, pass it around.
Two-billion, six-hundred and twenty-seven million, nine-hundred and ninety-nine thousand, nine-hundred and ninety-nine bottles of cider on the wall.
Two-billion, six-hundred and twenty-seven million, nine-hundred and ninety-nine thousand, nine-hundred and ninety-nine bottles of cider on the wall.
(That's approximately 1,000 years of lyrics at an average of twelve seconds a stanza
. My personal best was doing the 99 stanzas twice in a row.)

TC proofreading service reports a missing word here.
TC proofreading service again. Do you dislike the use of commas? Found a sentence beginning without capitalization and marked that spot with red. If you use a comma to end the dialogue you wouldn't need to capitalize here, but seeing as it was a period...
TC proofreading service with its signature spam of comments here. The part colored in red feels like it needs to be its own sentence. Interesting how your internal dialogue differs so much from the usual italicized wording. I can't say I'm a fan though, as I have to doublecheck constantly to make sure it isn't actual dialogue. Weird situations could also arise when transitioning straight from internal thought to external dialogue, 'since this writer could end up with problems like,'"this."
Final comment: Capitalize your interjections!

Professor Paradox?

Yes, yes indeed. Someone finally caught it!
That is an incredibly depressing and undeserved existence.

Real bit of psychological horror. I find it quite intriguing.
