  1. >Your head feels like its been split six-ways from Sunday.
  2. >You try and stretch groggily only to find that you’re in a rather small cage.
  3. >You also find that your arms and legs are bound, and you’ve been gagged.
  4. >Simply wonderful.
  5. >Just 24 hours ago, the worst thing you thought that could happen would be being late for work.
  6. >Now your being held prisoner by alien horses, and being taken to their leader.
  7. >That would almost be funny if you weren’t absolutely terrified.
  8. >You still had your magic of course, but without being able to recite the incantations, you were in a bit of a pickle.
  9. >That, and you don't want to show that you can do anything special just yet.
  10. >You don’t even know the full ramifications of magic on this place either.
  11. >The slow-fall spell you tried earlier seemed rather weak.
  12. >Maybe there aren’t any Lines here?
  13. >Or maybe you were too far away from one to get any potency out of it?
  14. >Regardless, you have more important things to worry about right now.
  15. >Like where the hell are they taking you?
  16. >You notice that there is a window beside you and look outside.
  17. >It would appear that you are on a train.
  18. >A train?
  19. >Note to self: Creatures have SOME technology.
  20. >Now you have even more reason to be cautious.
  21.  
  22. >The train car is empty save for you, but you can see there are shadows outside the exit door.
  23. >To try and escape now would be foolhardy, considering how fast the where able to track you the first time.
  24. >Judging by the position of the gigantic sun in the sky, you assume it must be around mid-day.
  25. >No point in struggling to do anything bro
  26. >”Yeah I gathered Brain, how you doing by the way?”
  27. >Still trying to comprehend everything that’s going on.  Oh, and I'm going to black you out again, I need some more rest after your spectacular getaway attempt.
  28. >”Goddamit you je-“
  29. >And like that you’re out cold again.
  30.  
  31. >You wake up again.
  32. >The first thing you notice is that the train has stopped moving.
  33. >The second thing is that your legs are no longer bound and there is a horse in armor standing in front of you.
  34. >”No funny business now. Your coming with us.”
  35. >You would say something snarky in response, but now is not the best time.
  36. >He leads you out of the train car, stooping your head as you go through the door.
  37. >You emerge onto an empty train platform.
  38. >It almost would look identical to one on earth, except for the fact that everything is much smaller.
  39. >There are even little newspaper boxes.
  40. >Before leaving the platform, two more guards and the 6 other horses emerge from the train.
  41. >The other guards take places behind you, while the other ones stay a ways back.
  42. >They begin to lead you through the town, towards what looks like an enormous castle.
  43. >The architecture of the castle seems much older than anything surrounding it.
  44. >Some parts almost look similar to the Gothic architecture back home.
  45. >You hope they don’t throw you in a ye-olden-style dungeon in that wing.
  46.  
  47.  
  48. >You continue to take in your surroundings, should the need ever arise to find your way around quickly.
  49. >The streets are eerily empty, and every once and a while, you swear you can see something dart in front of the windows of the shops and houses.
  50. >Time seems to fly by, and before you know it your at the gate of the gargantuan castle.
  51. >It swings open effortlessly as your roughly escorted deeper into the castle grounds.
  52. >If you weren’t so distraught about everything that was happening, you probably could have appreciated the magnificent gardening work.
  53. >The landscaping was immaculate and the variety of flora was astounding.
  54. >You were approaching the main door to the castle now.
  55. >Obviously the leaders of this place had a sense of grandeur, as everything about even something so simple as a door excreted royalty.
  56. >That and magic.
  57. >Wait magic?
  58. >You try and hone your senses while walking.
  59. >HOT DAMN did you hit the jackpot!
  60. >The castle was over top a MASSIVE Ley line!
  61. >There was enough magical connection here to transport an entire HOUSE all at once!
  62. >Across the OCEAN EVEN!
  63. >You begin to formulate your plans for escape.
  64. >But how would you ever know where you would end up?
  65. >You couldn’t blind teleport long distances, only maybe within a mile or two all around.
  66. >It may be enough however to give you a head start out of this place.
  67.  
  68. >The doors swung open, revealing a massive foyer.
  69. >The extravagance this room exceeded even the quality of old Versailles!
  70. >There was large staircase leading off into, what you could only guess, was the throne room.
  71. >You climbed the much all together tiny steps, and headed towards that door.
  72. >You noticed a carving into the door.
  73. >It was of two winged unicorns?
  74. >Great.
  75. >Just Great.
  76. >The doors creaked on their hinges as they opened.
  77. >The throne room was empty at the moment.
  78. >The three guards walked next to you as you approached what could only be where the leader would appear.
  79. >There was a sickening quiet to the room.
  80. >You could only feel two things.
  81. >The massive pit in your stomach.
  82. >And the tingle of magical energy to the room.
  83. >Pompous bastards must have built this room right on top of the middle of the line.
  84. >Just then a brilliant flash of white light fills the room.
  85. >The guards next to you bow.
  86. >You stand your ground.
  87. >Although you feel like you’re about to pass out.
  88.  
  89.  
  90. >Before you stands a massive, Horse/Unicorn/Pegasus thing.
  91. >Its coat is as white as a cloud and wears a golden crown.
  92. >It speaks in a loud booming voice:
  93. >"Who are you and what are you doing in my realm?"
  94. >The gag is removed from your mouth.
  95. >Time to kick this plan into action.
  96. >You open your mouth as if to say something and fall to the ground.
  97. >You close your eyes and try as best as you can to feign passing out.
  98. >You hear the creature gasp and the guards run to your side.
  99. >”Is the creature alright?”
  100. >You hear the large one ask.
  101. >But before they can check your vitals, you focus as much as you can on the large Gothic tower you saw earlier.
  102. >You mumble a few words as quietly as possible.
  103. >*pop*
  104. >And just like that you’re literally hanging from a window outside the spire.
  105. >Holy SHIT is that a long way down.
  106. >You pull yourself up quickly as possible and collapse on the floor.
  107. >You notice you’re in what appears to be a large bedroom.
  108. >Its adorned in a night-sky theme.
  109. >You quickly look around the room to notice if there is anything you can use to cut the bonds around your hands.
  110. >After a frantic search around the room, you find a small pair of oddly shaped scissors.
  111. >They work all the same however and the bindings are cut.
  112. >You let out a sigh of relief.
  113. >You hear from the bed; “Oh come on, just 5 more minutes”
  114. >OH FUCK
  115. >FUCK
  116. >There is something in the BED.
  117. >You’ve never felt so nervous in your entire life before.
  118. >Glancing around the room, you notice that the door is only a few feet away.
  119. >Tip-toeing as quietly as you can, you manage to sneak out un-noticed.
  120. >Damn dude that was some Solid Snake shit.
  121. >”Not now Brain, need to find a way out of here”
  122. >Aight man I got your back.
  123.  
  124.  
  125. >It’s kind of disappointing that the only conversations you’ve been having of late are with your brain.
  126. >He can be such an insufferable prick, but he’s got a heart of gold.
  127. >Well, you do anyways.
  128. >Creeping down the halls, you notice a lack of guards.
  129. >They must be out searching the town for you.
  130. >As you continue to creep down the hall, you spot 6 shadows moving along the far wall.
  131. >Oh fuck.
  132. >Looking around you spot a large door.
  133. >Welp, you better chance it.
  134. >Opening the door, you find a large library inside.
  135. >This place was absolutely HUGE.
  136. >Much bigger than the one back in that small town.
  137. >You hear the clopping of hooves go by the door, and thankfully it doesn’t open.
  138. >You slowly creep into the library.
  139. >May as well try to learn something while you’re hiding out.
  140. >Once you’ve had some time to draw up a channeling circle, you’re getting the hell out of here.
  141. >But wait.
  142. >You haven’t got your box of AWESOME chalk.
  143. >You’ve never tried improvising before, and after what happened earlier, you’d rather not risk it.
  144. >You’re still a bit discombobulated from the transport a few minutes ago.
  145. >There’s something weird about the flow of magic here.
  146. >Like it really doesn’t want to be forced.
  147.  
  148.  
  149. >You look around and grab the nearest book.
  150. >The writing at first looks completely foreign to you.
  151. >Well not shit Sherlock.
  152. >You flip through the book seeing if you can spot any similarities.
  153. >This book looks a little TOO complicated to be of any use.
  154. >You sneak through the aisles, trying to avoid going near any open windows.
  155. >You finally come across an area that looks like it contains children’s books.
  156. >Funny that there are kid’s books in a royal library.
  157. >You grab the closest one, and the first thing that strikes you is that you can actually recognize some of the characters!
  158. >They are similar in nature to the runes you use for teleportation.
  159. >You spend the next 10 minutes or so engrossing yourself in a few books, trying to get a handle on the language.
  160. >Its slow, but you manage to at least decode a few of the books.
  161. >The content was absolute dribble however.
  162. >Most seemed like stereotypical fairy tales.
  163. >Feeling somewhat accomplished in your task, you decide to see if you can find anything about the history of this strange place.
  164. >You get up and round the corner to see if you can find the histo-WHAM
  165.  
  166.  
  167. >”Oh god I’m sorry I Should have been watching where I was go-“ you manage to stammer out before realizing where you were again.
  168. >Before you is the same White creature that they called the Princess
  169. >You done goofed now son.
  170. >You turn and start running as fast as you can.
  171. >Just as you reach the end of the aisle, you realize you’re not going anywhere.
  172. >Legs still moving? Check.
  173. >Ground and surroundings not moving? Check.
  174. >Creatures probably have magic?
  175. >You turn around to see the creatures horn glowing.
  176. >Fucking Check.
  177. >Just as you go to open your mouth, it’s stuffed full of paper.
  178. >"Ah ah ah, we won’t be having any more of that will we"?
  179. >You nod your head, hoping it gets the gesture.
  180. >"If I put you down, your promise not to run?"
  181. >Once again you nod your head.
  182. >I can see you’re interested in our literature. At least it’s not in our armory.
  183. >Oh for god sakes, these things have an armory?
  184. >Now hold still.
  185. >The creature walks over to you and places its horn on your head.
  186.  
  187.  
  188. >OH GOD IT BURNS
  189. >You feel as if your entire mind is being riffled through like someone was trying to break the record time for finding a needle in a hay stack.
  190. >Images come flooding back to you of your family and time on earth.
  191. >From your graduation from Kindergarten, to your stint in the armed forces, to the many failed rela-HEYHEYHEY YOU’RE NOT GETTING IN THERE.
  192. >You try your best to push back against the creature invading your private thoughts
  193. >Unfortunately all you manage to do is glimpse some of hers.
  194. >This being is OLD. Like, HELLA OLD.
  195. >You can see the years pass like seconds.
  196. >Battles with ferocious creatures, the struggle of ruling, fights with siblings.
  197. >Suddenly you find yourself on the floor again.
  198. >”Oh you ARE a curious one,” she says “But if you try that again, you’ll find yourself in a much worse position than you ever were.”
  199. >You can only nervously nod.
  200. >The wad of paper shoved into your mouth is removed.
  201. >”You may address me as Princess Celestia,” she says, giving you a regal stare, “Come, there is much to discuss, but that can be done over lunch.”
  202. >You are still on the floor.
  203. >In a Library.
  204. >On a separate plane of existence.
  205. >Talking to a magical unicorn/Pegasus thing.
  206. >You can think of no better reason than to completely lose your mind.
  207. >But you still manage to say;
  208. “Alright, I’m starving.”
