I could feel a soft breeze against the parts of me that weren’t covered. I opened my eyes slowly, becoming aware of pain throughout my body. I noticed a big furry brown body just above my head. It was a fucking bear, a very animated bear. I lay motionless for a few seconds, I see it looking into my eyes, it moves its paw to my head, and I scream for my life. “FFFUUUUUUCCCCCKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!” I jolt up and fucking leg it for my life. I spot a small house a few metres away, so I run towards it hoping to yell at the owner, begging for entrance and a phone or the police. I look back to see that the bear hasn’t moved from its spot, just sitting there, watching me run for the house. I reach the door and go to open it, but before I do its opens. I don’t see anyone there, but I can hear a tapping noise on the ground. I look down and see a small – what looks to be – rabbit. “What the fuck?” It runs back inside leaving me standing at the open door. I hear a soft voice talking inside. Thank god! Someone lives here! I wait patiently, not forgetting about the bear, sparing a few glances back to it. And then, a Fucking horse walks to the door, takes one look at me, and freezes on the spot. “Umm...” I lean past the horse thing, “Is anyone here? There’s a bear outside your house.” I look at the bear again and noticed that it’s right behind me. “SHIT!” I jump behind the horse thing and slam the door shut on the bear. “Umm...excuse me? But that’s my friend.” I turn around and try to look for the source of the voice. Nothing. “Hello? Where are you? I kind of need a hospital, my body fucking hurts.” I talk to whoever is talking to me. “Oh my goodness! Let me help you!” I hear the voice to my left. I jump when I realize that the little horse was talking to me. “Did...did you just talk?” It shy’s away and replies. “Yes, I can talk. I’m surprised you can, I’ve never seen anything like you!” I turn to face me fully, “And if you need a hospital, I can take you to one.” I stand there, transfixed. “Where are we? I’ve never heard of a talking horse before.” I walked over to the couch and pat a bunny sitting on it. “Oh no, I’m not a horse, I’m a pony. A Pegasus to be exact.” My left eye twitches. “A fucking Pegasus?” She assumed it’s a she, nods and shows her wings. “Yes, I’m a Pegasus.” I fall to the floor laughing, no such thing as a Pegasus, just in mythology. “You must be joking, I’m either really fucking high right now, or I hit my head really hard and I’m hallucinating. Or it could be a prank.” She shakes her head. “No none of those. What’s high?” I cease my laughter for a few seconds, and burst out again. “Oh god I’m definitely high, okay then little Pegasus, take me to this hospital of yours, but first, do you have anything that can help me walk? My legs fuckin’ hurt, and the adrenaline of seeing a bear up close has run out.” She walks up the stairs, and comes down with some sort of stick. “That’s just my friend Barry, I give him fish from the river, and he promises not to hurt any of my other animal friends.” I grab the stick in my right hand, “Fish aye? I though ponies were vegetarians? And what other animal friends?” At that moment, a few birds flew down and landed on her back, some squirrels ran up to her and leaned on her front legs, and a fucking racoon ran in front of her. “I take care of animals in my spare time, some of them are sick and injured, or they just come here for a place to live.” I open the door with my left hand and walk out, “Oookayyy.” I struggle to step but it gets easier. I hear her close the door and walk up next to me. “So, what’s your name?” I ask. She looks up at me and replies, “My name’s Fluttershy, what’s your name?” I look down and reply, “You can call me Baz.” She replies with, “What’s your real name?” I return my gaze forward and say, “That’s for me to know, and you to find out” She looks a little sad but continues the walk none the less. After a few minutes we appear at the edge of a small town. “Civilization!” I shout out, she jumps a little and faces me. “You shouldn’t shout, not unless you want everypony looking at you.” She said. I look around and notice multiple ponies looking at me in shock and horror. “Is everyone here a pony? Wait...Everypony? I’m going to take that as a yes.” We continue our trek through the town; I notice a few buildings of interest. There’s a giant gingerbread house, like what the fuck? A fucking carousel, a giant tree, and just outside the town, possibly the biggest farm thing I’ve ever seen. “So, where’s the hospital?” I ask, and guess what? At that moment the hospital came into view, “Never mind then.” Fluttershy giggles and motions me inside. I notice a white pony with pink hair, wearing a nurse hat, a fucking nurse hat. She also had the symbol of the Red Cross on her butt. “Umm...What?” Fluttershy walked up to the counter, she said to the pony, “This creature is hurt, he needs some help.” “Umm... We don’t deal with animals here.” She replied to her. I pretty much walked up to the counter and yelled in her face. “I’M NOT A FUCKING ANIMAL YOU STUPID CUNT!” Said pony and Fluttershy looked at me in shock. “What?” Fluttershy looked to the pony and said “Please Nurse Redheart, help him.” She looked me over and asked, “What’s the problem?” “My whole body hurts.” I replied. Redheart walked off for a while. She came back with a small bottle that had some strange writing on it. I took the container in my right hand. “What’s this?” She chuckles, “Can’t you read?” I put the small bottle in my right pocket and reply, “Not this language, what does it say?” She sighs, “It’s just some pain killers, but while you’re here. There’s nothing recorded in any medical documents about anything that looks like you, do you think we could study your anatomy?” I shake my head furiously, which fucking hurt. “Ouch. No! No studying of any parts of my body! I don’t even know where the fuck I am!” Fluttershy walks up behind me, “You’re in Equestria, Ponyville to be exact.” “Can you at least tell me what species you are?” Redheart asks. “I am a Human, from the planet Earth. Now, can we please get this stupid thing over with?” She sighs, “Fine, step this way, we will take magic rays of your body.” I look to the pony next to me and raise an eyebrow, what the fuck are Magic Rays? Are they like X-Rays? As we walked to the room where my so called Magic Rays will be taken, I saw a Pink Pony walk into one of the rooms next to where I was headed. I entered the room behind Nurse Redheart and stood there, “What now?” She gestures towards the table thing, “Take off your cloths and we can get started.” Before I could form a coherent thought, I could hear yelling in the room next to me, the same room where the pink pony walked into. I do believe it sounded something like “What the fuck?!” “Yippee! You’re awake!” Another voice yelled. “What the fuck happened?! I must’ve taken some crazy shit.” The somewhat familiar voice responded. “I don’t know what you mean by that, but now we can have a Hoary-You-Are-Awake-And-Not-Dead-Yet- party.” What I assumed pink pony said back. That was pretty fucked, so I promptly walked up to the wall, started smashing against it and yelled out, “SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU ANNOYING FUCKS!” The next thing I know is that I have a pink pony standing next to me smiling ridiculously big. “Hey look at that! There are two of you!” She yells at me. “By the way my name’s Pinkie Pie! What’s yours?” I tilt my head, “Two? What do you mean two?” She points to the other room and replies, “There’s another one of you in that room.” My body started to disperse, as if dust blowing into the wind. I didn’t notice, but the ponies sure did. They were staring at me weird. “What the hell you looking at?” She points to me and replies, “You are disappearing.” I throw my hands up in defeat and yell out, “What th-“ But I was gone. > Chapter 1 - Bad Company > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A company, Always on the run.

That was all I knew, my eyes were closed, but I could feel the wind on my skin as I fell. I opened my eyes but the howling wind forced me to press them shut, scrunching up my face. It was actually a somewhat pleasant experience; I was weightless but still able to perceive gravity. As I fell, my thoughts drifted to the moments before my fall. To my surprise I could not remember. There was a blank spot in my memory the seemed to go on for days. All the way back to… back to…. Oh god I couldn’t remember anything. I began to panic, but I was interrupted by a single thought. Cutting through my mental turmoil like a knife. I was falling, falling. I flailed my limbs around for a second and once again tried to open my eyes. All I saw was some kind of green blur before… Pain filled my body as I landed on something rough, and yet soft. My jacket was twisted under me. It was uncomfortable but I didn’t want to move, I was too sore. “Wow, are you ok there mister?” a high-pitched voice sounded next to me. With a groan I lifted myself off the ground and look for the speaker. “Yeah yeah, I’m ok” I mumbled as I rose. The pain in my side was getting worse, it felt as though my ribs were trying to force their way out through my chest. I turned around, but there was no one there, ‘hearing things already, really?’ as I turned back to find out where I was. A horse, yeah that’s right, a FUCKING PINK HORSE jumped up to me and said “Hiya! I’m Pinkie Pie, what’s your name?” My brain was overheating slightly, I’m pretty sure there was steam coming out of my ears. Its eyes were boring into mine; it felt as though they were staring into my soul. I suddenly found the situation very funny, and proceeded to laugh my ass off. The pain in my side was becoming worse; I looked down at my chest and saw a bump appear on my left side, right across my ribs. Red blossomed across my chest; it took me a moment to realize that it was my blood. I stopped laughing, and looked back up at the horse, who now wore a concerned expression. I managed to mumble, two words before I blacked out. “Well shit “ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I woke slowly, my eyes barely cracking open before I felt the irresistible urge to close them again. So I lay there, just enjoying the feeling of being in bed. 'Wow, that was once crazy fucking dream' I thought to myself as I curled a little further into the blanket. However, as I rolled over, I felt a sharp stinging pain in my left arm. I sat up quickly and opened my eyes, my mind whirling with shock. I was in a hospital room, labels in a strange language were stamped over the various machines lining the walls. I looked down, and discovered the source of my previous discomfort. A large, wicked looking needle was jabbing into the soft flesh of my inner elbow. 'What the fuck?!? I immediately thought to myself. The needle was attached to a long IV drip leading up to a bag of some transparent liquid hung on a pole. I grabbed the blanket that draped over me, bunched it up, and bit down on the soft material. Leaning down, I grabbed the back of the IV needle, held my breath, and pulled. The pain was excruciating, but finally the syringe came free. I threw it across the room and lay back on the bed, confused beyond what I knew was possible. As I was about to get up and see just what the fuck I had gotten myself into, the door opposite the bed where lay opened. What walked through it was enough to send a shiver down my spine. The pink horse from my dream was here, IT WAS FUCKING REAL. Now I’m not exactly proud of what I did next. I freaked, jumped out of the bed and ran into the corner of the room. Only then did I notice that I was still wearing all of my clothes, even my shoes. Only my jacket was missing, but I soon noticed it on a chair by the door. Deciding it wasn’t worth going near the horse to get it I shrank into the corner. “What the Fuck?!” I shouted, not really caring who heard me. The horse looked at me with excited eyes. “Yippee! You’re awake!” it squealed in a high-pitched voice. “What the fuck happened?! I must have taken some crazy shit.” I half-yelled. “I don’t know what you mean by that, but now we can have a Hoary-You-Are-Awake-And-Not-Dead-Yet- party!” The pink horse said. Its smile literally bigger than its face. Yeah, that’s right, bigger than ITS FUCKING FACE! As it walked toward me, a loud crash sounded from the other side of the wall behind my head. “SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU ANNOYING FUCKS!” Both the horse and I looked to the wall. When I looked back however, it was gone. I let out a relieved sigh. I had been hallucinating after all. I trudged over to the chair and retrieved my jacket. Pulling it on I took a step toward the door. But I could go no further; I stumbled as the strangest feeling overtook my entire body. Somewhat tingling, but also like warm water. I planted my hand on the wall to steady myself. The feeling intensified, but not in my hand, the hand that I had pressed to the wall felt completely normal. I looked at it in confusion, I shouldn’t have, my very flesh was dissipating, like sand being blown away by some unseen wind. The effect quickly spread to the rest of my body, I stared at it in wonder. My vision darkened and I was gone. > Chapter 2 - Shadows On The Mountainside (Baz) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are spirits passing through the doors of time with an invitation heard before we find shadows on the mountainside eagles find the souls they hide and the outcast child enchanted by the sun will he seek his shelter never knowing one shadows on the mountainside eagles find the souls they hide shadows on the mountainside cover me with sleep please because I need it now and the red rivers flow to seas and she (2x) will return to me and then all that I am is in her hands and I will return to her and then and then (x2) I begin The Tea Party - Shadows On The Mountainside After that interesting event in the hospital, I stood alone in a destroyed town. Around me was nothing but rubble from the buildings, and giant cracks in the ground that occasionally spurt out lava, I also couldn’t help but notice how unbearably hot it was. I stood transfixed, staring into nothing. After a few moments I looked around and noticed that I looked to be in the same town as before. I decided to take a walk and look around, being careful of the explosions of lava around me. I noticed a black cloth on the ground and decided to wrap it around my neck in a sort of black cap type of way. I keep walking through the destroyed town, until I came upon a small cliff. I stared over the edge, and what I saw was beautiful and also very frightening. Lava. nothing but lava as far as the eye could see. Whatever was there before has now been engulfed by molten rock. It reminded me of a scene from Dragon Ball Z, where Namek was being destroyed. But does that mean that this planet was under a similar affect? That it soon will also be destroyed? I stood there, staring over the cliff edge, thinking about what had happened back at that hospital with the ponies. Just before I ended up here, my body was dispersing, like dust blowing in the wind. “Where am I?” I wondered aloud, this could not have been the same place. What had happened? Had I somehow time travelled to the end of the planet? But how is that even possible? How will I get back? Am I going to die here? "How could this have happened?! It's not possible!" I shouted out in frustration and confusion. "I'm going to die here." I whisper softly to myself. I began to panic at the thought of me dying in a foreign place, but soon came to piece when I realised, that I didn’t give a single fuck. Still standing there, I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, waiting for my inevitable doom. As I stood there I thought back to my life, and boy did I have lots of regrets. But in hindsight, there’s not much that I could have done in those particular situations. All in all, my life wasn’t that bad, there have been points where it was pretty god damn terrible, but not bad compared to others. My emotional problems have been a problem throughout my life, building up anger and sadness throughout the period of nearly 8 years. I was always afraid of what would happen if someone made me snap, I was scared I might do something I might regret, or hurt someone I didn't want too. I decided that I have had enough of standing around, so I walked off and sat down on a bit of rubble, awaiting my immediate doom. I could feel the ground begin to rumble, as cataclysmic events tore the planet asunder. Lava shoots out of cracks in the ground, natural disasters occurring everywhere all the time. As more and more explosions of lava occur, the quicker the planet grows closer to exploding. The ground around me cracks open and more lava comes out. This is it, I’m going to die here, Trying to outrun my demise, I got up and sprinted away from the lava, running as fast as I could in the opposite direction. I ran through the destroyed town and into, what looked like, a destroyed and mostly burnt forest. I ran as fast as I could, and quickly grew tired due to my Asthma. I stopped running, panting I put my arms over my head to help open my lungs, as I was taught in soccer training. After my recovery I sat down again, There's no running from this. I thought darkly, I closed my eyes once again, thinking about all those I've left behind. My good friends, Suresh, Kale, Josh and Josh, Brodie, Jake and Joel, and so many others. I thought about my family, my two brothers, my third on the way, my mum, dad, step-dad, my uncles, my aunties, grandparents, and all my cousins. I thought. I, however, didn’t notice that my body began to disperse again, the same way it had done before I left the hospital. As one final bit of lava shoots upwards next to me I disappear, and the planet explodes in an epic cataclysmic disaster of planetary proportions. ----------------------------------------------------- I reappeared in the same spot that I had left; only it was different. There was no pink pony, no Nurse Redheart, no Fluttershy. No pony was anywhere. I walked over towards the door and slowly opened it. I noticed that the hallway was empty, except for the sudden appearance of what shocked me extremely. Not only was it another Human, but ‘twas a man I knew well. I looked to him “Well then.” I said calmly. “Nope.” He turned around and walked back into the room he was in. It didn’t take long for me to hear another ‘Nope.’ He walked through the door chanting, “Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.” And stood, staring. He looked to me and asked, “Are there any horse in that room?” pointing to the door I was standing next to. I knew instantly from his voice who it was. “Nope.” I responded simply. “Good” He walked past me into the room, closing the door. The room was empty, I suppose he was confused about the ponies and needed to be alone. Feeling concerned for my mate, I reached my hand out and opened the door. He was sitting on a chair staring out a window. “Dude.” I said, waiting for a response. “Nope.” He jumps up and swan dived through the window. I stare at the window for a few moments before I rush to where he once was and look down, and noticed that we were three stories up. I also noticed the pink pony pulling out a trampoline from NOWHERE and placing it where he was falling. “Nope, nope, nope” he continued chanting. I hopped onto the open window frame, and slowly climbed down the side of the building. I got to the bottom and saw that he was lying down, face first, on the trampoline. There were also 7 ponies and some small lizard thing. I closed my eyes and sighed, “This is gonna be a long day...” > Chapter 2 - Into The Nothing > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Screaming on the inside I am frail and withered Cover up the wounds That I can't hide Walls that lie between us The saint within the sinner I have lost the nerve But it's all right Carry the wounded and shut your eyes All will be forgiven None will rise Bury the fallen and lead the blind I will fight the loss Dead inside Into the nothing Faded and weary I won't leave and let you fall behind Live for the dying Heaven hear me I know we can make it out alive Leave me at the bottom I am lost forever Letters from the dead Say goodbye Sorrow falls upon us This will be the last time Days begin to end But I'll get by Follow the hopeless And shut your eyes All will be abandoned None will shine Gather the broken and leave this life Lying in the earth Side by side Into the nothing Faded and weary I won't leave and let you fall behind Live for the dying Heaven hear me I know we can make it out alive I'll keep you inside Where I lead you cannot follow Straight into the light As my breath grows still and shallow Into the nothing Faded and weary I won't leave and let you fall behind Live for the dying Heaven hear me I know we can make it out alive Stay with me You're all I have left I know we can make it out alive Stay with me You're all I have left I know we can make it out alive Breaking Benjamin - Into The Nothing ----------------------------------------------------- Feeling slowly began to return to my limbs. My eyes were still covered, or perhaps they were still intangible. I didn’t know, but I couldn’t see. After several seconds, the swirling blackness before me gave way, revealing a rocky landscape. As I watched, the black wisps around slowly floated together and formed the rest of my body. I brought my hand up to my face as the last few pieces of me drifted together. Once I was solid, the remaining mist peeled away, leaving me standing alone. I looked around, it looked like a scene from a science fiction movie. Everything was either burned or burning. Vast lakes of magma bubbled and hissed, creating the only light in the area. I looked up, expecting to see the moon, as it was night. But it wasn’t there, and only a few stars. ‘There’s nothing…..’ All I could think was “Where the fuck am I now? Maybe I’m going crazy… god I hope im going crazy...” I walked to a large rock, and sat down. As I did, the red glow from the magma lakes brightened as a great column of fire shot into the sky, falling back the earth with an almighty crash. I watched mesmerised, as the world around me convulsed, shaking and, falling apart, revealing new rock, or another never-ending spire of fiery death. While I was fixated on the crumbling world around me, I failed to notice the large streams of magma running along the ground, from the base of a large mountain, all the way into the distance, as far as I could see. But I could feel the heat against my legs, it was nice, almost comforting. That quickly changed, as I looked up, the stream was slowly making its way toward the rock where I sat. I panicked, jumping up with a loud “OH FUCK!” The liquid fire sizzled like it was boiling, as it flowed toward me. I took several steps backward, until my heels collided with something hard. I looked behind me, there was only a cliff. Reaching up into the sky for as far as I could see. However, there was a ledge that didn’t seem to far up. The way I saw it, I had two choices, Climb the cliff, or take my chances jumping from one lava-free spot to another. Well, I could also just die. Deciding to take my chances, I turned to the cliff face behind me, I grabbed the closest piece that stood out and pulled myself up, and I barely made it 3 feet of the ground when the river of fire collided with the ground I had been standing on. It sizzled and spat, only spurring me to climb higher, and faster. As I did however, I noticed that the ledge I had spied earlier was a lot farther up than I expected, almost a hundred meters. Again, I panicked, feverishly grasping at outcrops and cracks in the cliff-face. About halfway up I had to stop, my arms were burning, and not from the flames below me. I managed to worm my fingers into a small crevice, and my feet sat perched against a rock jutting out, horizontally. I wasn’t close enough to the ledge to make a grab for it, but I definitely didn’t like the alternative. I knew I would die if I stayed here, so I climbed the rest of the way, tried to at least. In about 3 minutes, I had made my way up to the last little handhold before the ledge, but I had encountered a problem. There was currently a three meter gap between me and my salvation. I was astonished; the Cliffside was completely smooth, almost polished looking. I immediately looked around for another way up, not that I could actually make it if I found one. I could barely hang on the way I was now. I was definitely not made for climbing. As I held on I realised something I wished I never would. ‘I am going to die’ This was it, my whole life had come down to this moment. ‘Wait…. This can’t be real...’ I frowned in confusion, first I wake up in a hospital with a talking horse, next I'm in hell. Seriously I’m pretty sure I’m in hell right now. I mean there are no demons or anything, but people could have been wrong right? I came to a conclusion pretty quickly, I was asleep. Either that or I was REALLY high. But seeing as I can still move and all, and I'm not sluggish, I don’t think it was drugs. Then again, I had never had a dream feel so real. Nevertheless, I wouldn’t be able to hold on like this for much longer, my fingers were already hurting, and my feet were pressed so far into the toe of my shoe that I didn’t think I would be able to take them off later. As I continued to panic, I felt something familiar wash over me. Exactly as it had in the hospital room, a feeling of heat washed over me, almost like warm water. I knew what this meant, I was going to disperse again in a moment, and I really didn’t want to do that, considering where I ended up the last time. But alas, it seemed I wouldn’t have any say in this matter as I suddenly dropped an inch, my fingers barely able to hold on anymore. In a panic I frantically grasped at the nearest rock, only to find myself grabbing with… nothing. My hand was gone, and as before, the mist was pouring off of my body, blown by some unseen wind, taking parts of me with it. With nothing to hold on to, I fell. Straight toward the bubbling, liquid fire below me. It took me a moment to realise that I couldn’t feel the heat. As I went, more of me faded away, until I was only about a meter above my impending doom. And my vision blacked out. ---------------------------------------------------- As I came together, I was greeted by the sight of… actually nothing, I was back in the hospital, exactly where I had left. Literally nothing had changed, the same door was closed, the same dead flowers sat on the mantle, and the same strange equipment was laid out around the room. I moved to the door, cautiously, and opened it. As I walked out, I was greeted by a sight I never thought I would see again. Out of the room to my right walked a man knew well. I did a double take, not quite registering what was before me. He looked at me, and said “Well then.” My mind was whirling; I could have sworn I saw Seluj. “Nope.” I turned right back around and walked back into hospital room, only to find a rather annoying pink horse waiting for me with a comically large smile on her face. “Nope” I repeated, “Nope nope nope nope nope.” I walked back out to the hall, and stood, staring. I looked to the other man, “Are there any horses in that room?” I asked, pointing to the door he had come out of. “Nope.” “Good.” I walked past him, straight through the door, closed it, and sat in the only chair, facing the window. Sure it was lonely, but at least here I wasn’t insane. It wasn’t long before I heard the door behind me opening, followed by footsteps across the tile floor. “Dude…” he said, slowly coming closer. I froze, “Nope.” I stood, walked forward, and jumped headfirst through the window overlooking the hospitals front lawn. The glass shattered around me, I'm sure it cut me at least once. Before long I was falling again, ‘This is really becoming a habit....’ I thought as I fell. However, my fall was soon arrested by a leathery surface that gave under my weight, before I could realise what was happening, I was flung back into the air. I opened my eyes, still clammed shut from breaking the window, I saw two things; one, that I was back in the air shooting toward the window I had broken out of, two, that I had landed on a damn trampoline. But worse, was the pink horse standing next to it, watching me sail through the air with barely repressed glee. I closed my eyes and sighed. ‘This is gonna be a long day…..”
