- >BOOM
- >Well this is bad
- >You look down, the modified portal had worked, and you are in a new world!
- >But you had appeared about 10,000 feet in the air in the dead of night rocketing at the ground
- >Looking at the rapidly approaching ground you begin to think as hard as you can
- >7000 feet
- >”No no no that would never work…”
- >4000 feet
- >”Dammit Anon, think!”
- >1500 feet
- >”Comon, COMON!”
- >250 feet
- >”GOT IT!”
- >Pointing your hands at the ground you focus and expel a large amount of sand from your storage dimension onto the ground below
- >You apparently didn’t think fast enough as you didn’t get enough sand out to catch you completely
- >Crash!
- >A huge cloud of sand is thrown up
- >Your bones creak in protest of the harsh landing and you knock the wind out of yourself but otherwise you feel fine
- >Getting up you dust sand off of you and reabsorb the small sand dune you made
- >Taking a second to catch your stolen breath you finally notice where you are
- >All around you are trees of various sizes, most towering above you
- >You look up to notice the moon high in the night sky and grimace
- >Where there monsters here?
- >Well, you don’t want to find out
- >Turning to the nearest tree you pull your fist back and drive it into the large plant
- >A thunderous BANG resounds around the area and the tree groans in protest of the abuse
- >Undeterred, you hit it again,
- >And again
- >It only takes one more strike to fell the tree which topples over with a crash
- >Forming a knife with your hand like you were going to karate chop something you go about breaking the tree into more reconstruct able pieces
- >The tree yields a surprising amount of wood though not enough for a temporary home
- >A few more should suffice
- >Several more trees share a similar fate to the first, brutally broken all in the span of a minute or two
- >Gathering up all the wood pieces into a pile you place your hand on the top one and focus
- >A white light engulfs the all of the wood
- >Even now it’s still fascinating to watch your matter deconstruction to turn the wood into an infinitely fine powder, only for the powder to come back together in the form of a huge stack of 2x4 planks
- >Its only about ten minutes until you have a small house built in the tiny clearing you landed in
- >Taking a mental inventory you are glad to find that you stored a bed before you left
- ~~Next Morning~~
- >You are awakened by sunlight streaming through the small ports on the side of your wooden house which were there in the place of glass windows
- >Stretching your arms and yawning, you get up out of the bed in the corner of the room and give yourself a few moments to get completely woke up
- >From what you could tell, this world did have inhabitants of its own
- >You weren’t sure what they are, but it’s worth a shot at meeting them
- >Today’s plan, first contact
- >Ok now, how to do that?
- >Go running in?
- >No
- >Wait for them to come to you?
- >Still no…
- >Middle ground?
- >Find them then wait around to be approached?
- >…Might work
- “Welp, here goes nothing”
- >You set out of your shack into the forest
- >Despite the fact that it’s daytime now the forest still seems dark thanks to the thick canopy
- >Huh, still nice tho-
- >*snap*
- >In a flash of light Mixed Blessing is in your hand as you whirl around
- >You come face to face a huge lion like beast sporting small wings and a scorpion tail that’s giving you a hungry look
- >Of course…
- >You slowly step back; avoiding a fight is probably a good idea
- >No such luck as it lunges towards you with a roar
- >Rolling under the pounce, you slash Blessing through its stomach
- >The diamond sword cuts through flesh and bone like butter, leaving an insurvivable rift in its underbelly
- >The lion hit the ground heavily, thrashing and yowling for a few seconds before going still and almost immediately bleeding out
- >You just get up, shake your head, and store away your sword
- >Such a disappointing fight…
- >Time to continue on
- >Its almost an hour before you find a thin dirt path much to your relief, the feeling of going in circles is maddening
- >And with the thousands of caves you’ve accidently dug into while mining you would know
- >To your surprise you find hoof prints in the dirt leading north
- >Did the natives use animals?
- >Or maybe…
- >The natives are animals?
- “What the fuck am I thinking?”
- >How would they function if they are?
- “Yeesh, I hope my age isn’t finally catching up to me…”
- >Following the tracks until about noon you finally come across the end of the forest
- >Taking a moment to relish in the feeling of the sun on your skin you think about what you are going to do
- >The path leads to a village in the distance, but who the residents are is unknown
- >You’re hoping for humans, but that’s a long shot at best
- ‘Just hang around the edge of town and observe for now I guess’ You think
- >With your plan finally ironed out you position yourself low, before sprinting with all your might to a hill close to the town about a hundred yards away
- >Flying across the ground, you make the trip in only a few seconds
- >You stop at the base to catch your breath before walking up the hill and going prone on top
- “What the hell?”
- >Unstoreing a bit of wood and glass you fuse it to make a telescope to get a better look at the town
- >P0nies…
- >Pastel colored p0nies…
- >The locals are animals after all
- >Some have horns and display telekinetic abilities
- >Unicorns
- >Others have wings that despite their size let them fly
- >Pegasi
- >The last group has neither, but seems more well built
- >Can’t think of a name for them…
- >You spy a market place, a hollow tree that served as a library, a carousel shaped building, and a town hall to name some of what you see
- “…Still better than creepers…”
- >700 years of isolation may have left you a bit socially retarded, but you still knew that approaching suddenly would be a bad idea
- >Pulling a notebook and pen from storage you take some notes on what you see
- >They are social, have a form of economy, communicate verbally, friendly in appearance…
- >Good, now if only they could speak English…fat chance at that…
- >This goes on for several hours until a few p0nies spot you and point, you see their mouths moving but you are too far away to hear what they are saying
- >Don’t run Anon, it implies you have something to hide…
- >After it’s made apparent that you weren’t going to do anything they calm down, but still eye you warily
- >Noticing that it’s becoming late, you gather your things up and head back into the forest
- >On your way you can’t help but notice a lavender colored unicorn standing a little way from the hill staring intently at you
- >Back at the forest you construct a home closer to town with a few trees sacrificed in the process
- >The next day is the same, except you sit on the hill rather than lying prone, giving them a better view of you
- >You decide to call it quits early as the purple one tries to approach
- >Heading home for some sleep, you wonder what the curious equine wanted
- ~~Next Day~~
- >Well shit
- >The unicorn is in your spot
- >Is three days long enough?
- >Well if not, you knew how to make another Nether portal
- >You sigh and walk up the hill
- >The unicorn looks at you with a face filled with excitement and nervousness as you reach the top with it
- >You do your best to give a reassuring smile, though; it feels like a grimace and settle yourself down cross legged about 3 feet away to make yourself seem less imposing
- >Finally up close to one, you closely observe it
- >Its coat is lavender in color, with eyes, a mane, and a tail that are a shade darker. The mane and tail both have a rose colored streak running though them
- >On its behind is a six pointed star
- >Finally on its head is a small, spiraled horn
- >If you had to guess, then it would stand around 3 feet tall
- >Such an interesting creature
- >It seems to be studying you as much as you are it
- >OK, time for the moment of truth
- >You clear your throat, getting its attention
- “So…Do you speak?”
- >It seems startled, and replies…
- >In a totally different language…
- >Fuck
- >From the voice you’re willing to bet its female
- >Well, at least you gleaned something…
- >You sigh and pinch the bridge of your nose
- >Trying to look on the brightside, you realize if one is willing to come to you then they will doubtlessly be friendlier than the villagers in the Overworld right?
- >The villagers back in the Overworld weren’t all that friendly, they understood trade well enough but tended to try and usher you out of their settlements if you weren’t doing such
- >Pulling out of your thoughts you find the unicorn giving you a concerned look, her head tilted to the side
- >A bit of warmth blossoms in your chest, concern from a stranger? The feeling was foreign, but still welcome
- >A bit higher in spirits, you decide to take another route
- “Ok, let’s try this…”
- >You unstore a piece of paper and pen, making the unicorn look in wonder
- >Folding the paper into a scalene triangle you show it to her
- >Her eyes get wider
- >Then you mark the sides with lines, one for the smallest, two for the mid-size, and three for the largest before showing her again
- >The little unicorn’s eyes look ready to burst out of her head, before she began to quickly babble in excitement, shifting her glee filled gaze between the paper and you rapidly
- >Yep, these p0nies are intelligent
- >They may not know Paragathen, but they know his theorem
- >The atmosphere is so infectious that you find yourself grinning at her enthusiasm
- >You had forgotten just how pleasant the company of others is
- >After she had calmed down some she looked back to you with a smile, scootching closer and making an inquiring sound
- “What?”
- >She looks like she wants to facepalm at her forgetting the language barrier
- >Getting up she starts down the hill only to stop after a few steps and turn to look at you
- >What could she want?
- “You want me to follow you?” you ask with some hand gestures thrown in
- >You get a vigorous nod in return
- >Well, what harm can come of it?
- >You stand up and follow the unicorn down the hill into town
- >You can help but feel very awkward walking through the small settlement
- >The unicorn and you garner a lot of stares
- >Not that she seems to care
- >Finally after what seems like forever you two make it to the hollowed out tree
- >Does she work here?
- >Walking in after her, ducking under the doorway you see that this place is indeed a library
- >The unicorn trots up to a bookshelf and begins sifting through books at an impressive rate with her T.K.
- >Making a noise that sounds suspiciously like “Ah-Ha!” she finds the one she wants and begins looking for a certain page, still using T.K.
- >Not wanting to look like an awkward fuck just standing around you lean back into the wall and wait for her to finish
- >Her eyes light up as she finds what she wants
- >Setting the book down she trots up to you with her horn glowing
- >Ok, that kind of suspicious…
- >Mentally you visualize Mixed Blessing, ready to summon it should this be a trick
- >A thin beam of light flies from her horn to your forehead
- >AND IT DOES..!
- >Nothing?
- >Weird,
- “Well, that was something else…” you mutter
- >”What was that?”
- “I said…wait who?”
- >You look down at a beaming purple p0nie
- >Still sporting a megawatt smile she looks up at you and says “My name is Twilight Sparkle, did the translation spell work”
- >Translation spell?
- “Yeah” you breathe, “Worked…just fine…”
- >Damn, just roll with it…
- >”Sooo…” Twilight trails off
- >What did she want now?
- >Oh you never told her your name
- >Nice one rude ass
- “Sorry, my name is Anonymous, Anon for short”
- >”Its fine. Anon?”
- “Hmm?”
- >”Do you mind if I ask a few questions?”
- >Can’t do any harm
- “No, go ahead”
- >”GREAT!”
- >Here we go…
- >Twilight leads you to a nearby couch holding some parchment and a quill
- “Alright, first up?”
- >”How did you create that paper earlier?”
- “I didn’t create it; it was just stored in a pocket dimension”
- >Twilight tilts her head to the side “Pocket dimension?”
- “Yep, a tiny portion of space I can call my own and store things in”
- >”Wow, that sounds like advanced magic! Are you a wizard?”
- >You chuckle
- “Not really”
- >She eyeballs you skeptically but lets the issue drop
- >”Ok, what are you”
- “A human”
- >”Hyumane…details please?
- “Think of me as a smart, omnivorous ape”
- >A raised eyebrow at that
- >”How old are you”
- >This one will be fun
- “722 Years old”
- >Silence
- >Twilight is giving you an ‘Are you fucking serious?’ look
- “You’re the one who asked…”
- >”Um moving on…Any other special powers?”
- >You bite the inside of your cheek and wonder of you should say
- >May as well…
- “Matter manipulation on a molecular level”
- >”Now I know your just blowing smoke…”
- >Oh really?
- >You hold out your hands and in a flash fist size diamonds appear in each
- >”Are those..?”
- “Diamonds? Yes, yes they are. And I’m going to fuse them into something else with my bare hands”
- >”But that’s impossible! Nop0ny can-“
- >You cut her off by slamming the diamonds together in your hands
- >In a flash and crackle of energy, the hard mineral melts in your hands and reforms into a tiara riddled with detail
- >Ignoring the gobsmacked expression on Twilights face you set the head piece on her without a word
- >”B-but but, that cant…you, it diamond, cant…h-how?”
- >Cue smug look
