What? >"Thralo nit richutao fe najisca?" I don't understand. >Her head droops down and she goes into heavy thought >A lightbulb appears over her head >wat >It's glowing >doublewat >It disappears when she lifts her head up to look at you >She makes a "thataway" gesture with her head, and starts walking down a path >You assume she wants you to come with her >So, being the adventurous sort you are, you follow her   >After a couple of whiles, you come to a hill >"Th'tulo craetal!" >The unicorn gallops to the top of the hill and watches you >She's been talking the entire way >From the way she talked during the trip, it sounded like she was using different languages in the hopes of finding one you both knew >The only language you knew was English >You start walking at a faster pace to reach the crest of the hill >When you finally reach the top, you gasp >It's an entire city stretching over a plain a mile ahead >Pink buildings, smoke rising from chimneys, and, most importantly, civilization >Behind the town, a beautiful sunset sinks into the horizon >The sight looks like something out of a movie >A moment of silence passes as the you gaze into the beautiful sight before yourself >An scene flashes into your mind >In it, a camera behind your body rises from the ground, giving itself a birds-eye view you and the town >A title fades into the screen, its font reminiscent of an old western >It says "Confederate Anon in Equestria: The Guns of Luna" >Looks like a movie title-screen >Music begins to play; you guess this would be the theme of the movie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWB7_o6x6DA >"Akja?" >You shake your head and escape your trance >Your vision is back on the ground >You glance up in the sky, and see no words >And the only sound you hear is the singing of a few birds >You resume following the unicorn   >The two of you enter town >You can hear the hustle and bustle of the city coming from all around you >Except, that is, for anywhere with a direct line of sight on you >Ponies drop whatever they're doing and whisper to each other when they see you, strange new creature, passing by >It feels just a bit awkward >Eventually, the two of you come to a large structure, built into and carved out of a tree >Somehow, the tree is still alive >You might not be a botanist, but you're pretty sure that carving a structure like that out of a tree would kill it >The unicorn walks up to the door >You know, now that you think about it, you're starting to wonder how she's going to open it >Ponies don't have opposable thumbs, an- >Holy shit her horn is glowing >Why is her horn glowing? >Is that even biologically possible >You're not a biologist, but you're pretty sure that isn't possible >THE DOOR IS MOVING ON ITS OWN >And the unicorn didn't even touch it! >Holy shitcocks >It used telekinesis on the door >And it was super effective >Your jaw drops >She looks at you like you're nuts >Like you've never seen someone open a door before >... >You compose yourself >She stands by the door, motioning with her head for you to come in   >As you come in, you see shelves upon shelves of books >Did the paper come from this tree? >The shelves had to; the ones that aren't in the middle of the floor are carved into the walls >So, she took you to the town library >And the books carry the same almost-like-english-but-not-quite alphabet as you saw in the ruins >She shuts the door, and runs over >HOLY SHIT SHE DID IT AGAIN >Her horn is glowing >Books are floating around her >AND THEY'RE GLOWING TOO >You're not a physicist, but you're pretty sure that things don't just float   *Edited 6/6/12 to change title-music >But then again, unicorns don't exist >So it's a moot point >Right >You just stand there, waiting for her to find whatever she's looking for   >Finally, she looks up from her book >She motions to a chair, and you take it to mean that you're supposed to sit down in it >You nod, and sit down in the chair >Her eyes go back to the book, eagerly scanning the page, lapping up as much information as they could >A look of extreme concentration washes over her face when she looks up at you >The tip of her horn glows a vibrant purple >You know, this might not have been the greatest idea, maybe you sho- >It fires >It hits >Your head fucking explodes >You black out   >When you come to, a clearly concerned unicorn is standing over you What...what happened? >"Can you understand me?" Of course I can, but what happened? >... >You put two and two together >"I cast a comprehension spell on you. It works by telekinetically taking in the meaning of what somep0ny is trying to say, and converts it into a language you can understand." You did what with the who-now? >"I used magic to make you understand what I'm saying," she says in a deadpan voice Oh! >That's pretty cool So magic exists here? >"Doesn't it exist where you're from?" Not at all. >Her eyes get big >"Magic doesn't exist where you're from?! Where are you from?" Earth. From what I can tell, this is a completely different world. >"Wait a minute, I need a quill and paper; this is too good to pass up. SPIKE!" >You lean back in the chair >You're going to be here a while >No reason not to be comfortable
