My eyes slowly opened up. When they were open, there were multiple colors flooded around me. I saw brown moving upwards to connect to a mass of green, which was coated by several little red oval-like shapes. I like describing trees. Above that there was a big blue background dotted with fluffy white bundles and flying colorful horses. Wait. Flying colorful horses?

I looked back at myself. Sure enough, I was a colored horse too. I just didn't have wings. Also, I was naked. I got up as fast as I and frantically looked for my equipment. I found it all under a tree. Sadly, none of it fit me except my hidden blades. I put them on my hooves and left. 

As I explored while hiding in bushes, I found a town full of colored horses, who had wings, horns, or nothing, like me. The other horses were also naked, and with me listening to them, I discovered that they could speak my language. I also realized that they each had a picture on their butt. It was different for each one, not a single picture the same. When I looked back to see if I had one, I saw our symbol.


I decided that it was safe to leave the bushes and meet some other horses.
"Hello, ummm, horse." I said to one of them. It was obviously a female. She was purely white, except that she had purple hair that pointed out that she was a fashionista. I also noticed that she had a horn.
"Horse? My, you must be new here." she said. "You were originally a human, right? That's why you're speaking English. Don't worry, we all know about some humans getting into PONIES. We've dealt with these situations before. Luckily, since you were a human, you can speak our language. May I ask, what's your name and what are those fancy bracelets you have? I must replicate them!"
"My name is Altair and these are hidden blades, not bracelets." I said. I demonstrated my hidden blades by making the blade go in and out of the bracelet-sheath. I also ignored how she knew all of this, because the author was too lazy to explain. But something will happen with the "We've dealt with these situations part for sure. Wait, is it me or the author narrating? Whatever, let's listen to what this mare has to say.
"Marvelous! Now may I ask, what's that symbol that's your cutie mark?" she asked.
"Cutie mark? Oh, this." I said as I realized that it was the Creed's logo on my butt. I guess those pictures are called cutie marks. "That's the symbol of the Assassins. Our sworn enemies are the Templars. But now, I think I can leave that disaster of a war behind me finally."
"Well, whatever war you were in, I agree. Here, we make friends, not wars. Now, Altair, you need a place to stay. Now Spike, where can our friend Altair stay?" she said. I didn't even even notice the small creature that was behind her. He seemed like a small version of the dragons that are described in our legends back home.
"HOLY SHI-" I yelled.
"Woah, calm down, I'm friendly." said the young dragon. "Anyway, Rarity, to answer your question, I could stay at your place and let Altar stay at the castle."
"It's Altair. Also, I don't like that idea." I said coldly. Spike obviously had something towards Rarity, who was obviously the fasionista. I didn't want to get in the way, but if my name gets messed up, I have to disagree with that person, dragon, or whatever, because I'm an assassin and I'm a pain in the butt that way. Additionally, castles bring back memories of earlier today, just before I got sent here.
"I agree with Altair, I don't like that idea too much." Rarity said nervously. She knew what Spike was up to.
"You know what? I can find a place to stay on my own." I said, trying to avoid more of Spike's ideas. "See you both later." With that, I left. I walked around town while thinking about what I would do here. Would I find a home for myself? Would I be broke? Would I be able to find friends? What would I do for a living? I didn't know the answers to these questions, no matter how much I wanted them. I was so lost in thought, I didn't even notice where I was going until I walked right into another pony. It was another female, but she had wings and a different mane style. She also had a yellow mane and a pink mane. She looked nervous.
"Sorry." she said.
"Ummm... I thought that was my fault." I said.
"No. It was my fault." she said.
"Okay, then." I said. "Well, hello, my name's Altair. What's yours?"
"Fl..." she said quietly while shaking.
"What? I can't hear you." I said.
"My name's Flutter..." she said slightly louder.
"I'm afraid you'll need to speak up." I told her.
"Fluttershy." she said in a voice that was slightly below a whisper.
"Well, hi. Nice to meet you Fluttershy." I said. "What do ponies here do for fun?"
"Well, we do whatever we like to do. I like to take care of animals. Do you want to hear about them?" she said, a bit excited with the last sentence.
"Sure?" I asked in an uncertain tone of voice.
"Yay." she said in a normal voice. "I have an adorable bunny named Angel the other day we..." I spaced out after that. I daydreamed of mutton. "Altair? Altair?" Fluttershy said, pulling me out of my dreamlike state.
"Huh? What? Food?" I asked, startled.
"No, but as I said, she sells apples." she said.
"I want apples, and who is "she"? I wasn't paying attention." I told her.
"Applejack, one of my best friends. Follow me if you want some of her farm's apples, I'll pay for you. You look hungry." she said. I decided to follow to wherever she was leading me, because I was hungry and I wanted to meet Applejack. So, off we went.
