2. AiE: Journey for the Wishing Stone -Anon the great-

 

>You are Anonymous, human extraordinaire.

>After circumstances beyond your control, you've found yourself stranded in a bazaar world of brightly colored talking ponies.

>One minute you're taking a late night walk through your favorite park.

>The next thing you know, your waking up in a cramped dudgeon cell.

>After what seems like hours of yelling, someone finally response.

>Well, not so much someone as... some pony?

>A weird looking white horse with a dark and light blue mane shows up.

>Is that a horn?

>I've got to remember to lay off the junk food before bed.

>The unicorn...Your brain almost hurts to even consider the fact you're seeing, much less talking with a unicorn.

>He tells you to keep the noise down.

>This being a dream, you decide to have some fun with him.

A:"Why don't you make me!"

>The pony smirks.

SA:"Well, if you insist."

>Just then a beam of light comes from his horn.

>It's a direct hit to your center.

>Your engulfed by a strange glowing light.

>...then nothing.

A:"...was something suppose to happen?"

>The unicorn's face is overcome with shock.

>He quickly rushes out of sight.

>Once again you're all alone.

>Sometime later, the unicorn returns.

>This time, however, he is not alone.

>He brings another unicorn, this one also white but is much larger.

>This one also has wings.

>Still confirmed for crazy.

>This one appears to be more feminine, with a translucent multi colored mane.

>It's almost... hypnotic.

C:"Who are you, strange one?"

>Her voice is kind, somewhat soothing.

A:"I'm Anonymous. Where am I?"

C:"Anonymous, what a funny name."

>She says in a cheerful tone.

>You are less than amused.

C:"This is Canterlot dungeon. You are currently our 'guest'.

A:"You've got a pretty messed up sense of humor for a talking horse."

>Your comment didn't sit well with the male unicorn.

SA:"You watch your mouth when referring to the princess!"

A:"Princess?"

>The winged unicorn nods.

C:"I am princess Celestia, ruler of all of Equestria. You've already met Shinning Armor."

A:"Heh, and you said I had the funny name."

>Shinning Armor's eyes narrow.

>Celestia only laughs.

C:"My Anonymous, you have quite the rebellious spirit. If I may ask, where do you come from?"

A:"Um, Earth I guess. I don't suppose you've heard of it?"

>Celestia shakes her head.

C:"I can't say that I have. How did you get here from this 'Earth'?"

>Anon lets out a tired sigh.

A:"I was hoping you could tell me."

>There is a brief silence.

A:"Princess Celestia?"

C:"Yes, Anonymous?"

A:"This... isn't a dream is it?"

C:"...No, Anonymous. I don't believe so."

>You slump down, sitting on you tiny horse bed.

A:"I was afraid you'd say that."

 

>A few weeks have passed.

>Your still in your little pony dungeon.

>Not much to do but sit around and catch up on your sleep.

>The highlight of your day is eating and giving Shinning Armor the business.

>Boy, does he hate you.

>This amuses you to no end.

>Occasionally princess Sunbutt, as you affectionately named her, would stop in for her usual Q&A session.

>She would ask you about this and that.

>Where you lived, what life was like back home, your friends and family.

>You tell her pretty much what you think she wants to hear, as well as regaling her on some of your favorite movies.

>She would occasionally attempt a magic spell or two.

>Apparently magic really exist in this world.

>Not only that, but you have some sort of immunity to it.

>Same routine day in, day out.

>The one day, the door to your cell opens.

>Shinning armor is waiting for you and asks you to follow him.

>He escorts you, along with four armored ponies with spears, through the castle.

>This place is HUGE!

>Definitely bigger than than your cozy little pony prison.

>They lead you to the throne room.

>Perch on top of a large golden throne was Celestia.

>She proposes that I could leave the dungeons and stay in that palace in exchange for leaving Shinning Armor and the royal guards in peace.

>You give a smug glance at Shinning.

>He avoids you gaze.

>Looks like you've finally worn him down.

>You agree to the princess's terms.

>You're still forbidden to leave the castle grounds, but at least you have plenty of room to stretch you legs.

>She has even given you access to the royal archives.

>It's not the internet, but beggars can't be chooser.

>And so life goes on.

>Months have passed as you now reside in a pretty swanky guest room.

>Your meals are brought to you three times a day.

>You spend your days either in the royal garden, lounging under this massive oak tree, or cooped up in the archives learning about this alien world.

>Celestia still looks forward to your 'stories' of your home world.

>Someday you plan of telling her the ending to Empire Strikes Back.

>All and all, not such a bad life.

>Even still, you find yourself waking in a cold sweat in the middle of the night.

>No matter how good your life is here, you can't help but miss your old life.

>It's still hard to believe that you'd never seen your loved ones again.

>Everything you cared about is gone, like they never existed.

>The thought depresses you, but there's no point of dwelling on it.

>One night, as you walk the halls of the palace un able to sleep.

>You find yourself being drawn to the archives.

>You begin collecting books to read, stacking them in your arms.

>Your then notice a book high up on the shelf.

>You place the books you've collected on a nearby table and begin to climb.

>The librarian was a pegasus, so there were no ladders for you to use.

>You've almost reach the top when you feel the bookshelf begin to wobble.

>You quickly jump down and take cover just in time for the self to fall over.

>The shelves beside it begin to topple over like dominos, creating a huge mess of books.

>That pegasus isn't going to be happy with you once she sees this mess you've made.

>It was then you notice something.

>Behind the shelf you knocked over was some sort of compartment.

>inside was a golden horseshoe attach to the wall.

>You reach out to it and touch it.

>You hear some kind of mechanical noise, like the turning of gears as the compartment opens.

>Within sits a dusty old book, much older than the books and scrolls you've been reading.

>You feel a chill in the air as you pick up the book and begin to read.

>The first thing you notice is that it isn't written in pony language.

>It looked older and more complex, almost like hieroglyphics.

>Stranger still is that you understand what it says.

>You begin to speed read through the book when you are suddenly interrupted by a familiar annoyed voice.

SA:"What in Equestria have you done!"

>Shinning Armor is standing at the entrance of the archives with half of the royal guard.

SA:"When the princess hears about this, she'll send you back to the dungeons so fast-"

A:"Yeah great, put a move on it will ya.

>You respond while still reading through your latest discovery.

A:"While your at it, you might want to inform her on what i just found."

SA:"Oh really, and what's that?"

>You hold open you book, showing Shinning a passage that has caught your interest.

>On the page is an illustration of a magical relic.

>You grin as you reveal to the captain of the royal guard of your discovery.

A:"My ticket home."
