- The Fate of Anonymous. - 5 - Falling -
- >The wind sail through your finger tips as you plummet to the ground.
- >The whistling in your ears, playing the final melody you would hear before you're greeted by tranquillity.
- >You can now see the ground, rapidly approaching. You close your eyes. Relishing the moment.
- >You feel a warm glow, overtake your body and you open your eyes. A purple aura now engulfing your body.
- >You're so close, come on! Just a little.. Bit.. Closer.
- >Just inches from the ground everything goes a magnificent white.
- >Your mind goes blank from this revelation.
- >You've done it, you've finally done it!
- "YES!"
- >You physically jump upwards. It only takes you a second to realise that you just physically jumped.
- >Readjusting for reality you look around and notice you're back in the chariot. One Twilight Sparkle smiling at you.
- >No, You didn't do it. Through the impossibilities of this world, you survived.
- >You slump back down into your seat. All the merriment gone from your being.
- >"Wow, that was a close one! No need to thank me, your reaction says it all."
- >Twilight seems almost smug about the fact she saved you. Contempt is all you can feel.
- >Her horn glows and a rope magics out of nowhere and wraps around your stomach.
- >"We don't want that happening again!" She smiles at you. If looks could kill you would be looking into a mirror right now.
- >The flight is uneventful for about fifteen minutes before Twilight tries to spark a conversation.
- >"The princess seems pretty excited to meet you." You can tell she's trying really hard to be social.
- >God damn ponies making you talk to them. You just want to kill yourself in peace. Is that too much to ask?
- >Yes. Yes it is.
- "Why's this?"
- >You pretend to be interested, more out of courtesy than curiosity.
- >"Well, you're something new here in Equestria, she wants to learn about you and best case scenario you can stay in Equestria."
- >'best case scenario'. Ok, this has genuinely caught your curiosity. You look at twilight dead in the eyes.
- "Worst case?"
- >Apparently she doesn't like this question. She shuffles in her seat a bit before giving you an honest answer.
- >"Worst case you get banished to the moon... Don't worry, you'd really have to be an idiot to end up on the moon though.
- >Raising your eyebrows in shock at this new information, a multitude of thoughts running through your mind at once.
- >Banished to the moon. There's no atmosphere. No oxygen. The pressure difference alone would be enough to kill you.
- >That is it. You have your new plan. Today Neil Armstrong could take a back seat. A new human was coming to the moon.
- >Today you are Anon. Today you're suicidal. Today, you are an idiot. Today you're going to the moon. Today. Today you die.
- >You arrive at Canterlot in good time.
- >You have to admit, it was a beautiful place. The place you're taken are the royal Canterlot gardens.
- >You see all sorts of plants and wild life. All seemingly entwined by an unknown force that keeps them at peace.
- >Statues litter the gardens, although one in particular takes your interest. It's of a beast you've never seen before.
- >Almost like a frankenstein's monster. Except, natural in its build.
- >It has miss-matching horns, different appendages from its snake like body. A body from what you could tell has feathers and fur on it.
- >Being an 'idiot' you walk past it and purposely knock it. It begins to fall to the ground.
- >Just as the tip of the statue hit the ground it's caught in a purple aura.
- >You turn around to Twilight, who with a very panic stricken face, levitate the statue back into place.
- >She give you a scolding look. You do your best, although all you can manage is a bad poker face.
- "Sorry"
- >"This way, try not to break anything." She sighs and she leads you out of the gardens and towards the palace.
- > As you walk away neither of you notice the small crack that appears on the statues right horn.
- >You spin around as you hear a whisper, directly in your ear. It was so faint you could hardly hear it. All you could make out was;
- >"Thanks..."
- >Twilight informs you that you would be spending the night in Canterlot after the meeting the with Princess.
- >She doesn't wait for a response. She leads you into a grand throne room.
- >There, sat at a majestic table on a throne big enough for 5 people was a white pony, twice the size of any you've seen so far.
- >Her hair, radiant with colours, flowing freely like the very tides of a stream. She had royalty written all over her.
- >Twilight bows, "Princess, this is Anonymous of Earth." She shows nothing but the utmost respect for Celestia.
- >Twilight give you a glare, conveying the message that you should bow and introduce yourself.
- >You do neither, instead, settling for the most informal you could be. You remember an old beer commercial and emulate it.
- "WAAAAZZZZZZAAAAAAAP!?"
- >You shout loud enough to make it reverberate around the entire room for a good 3 seconds. You produce jazz hands.
- >Twilight is already looking horrified. It's a good sign, keep this up and "BANG, ZOOM! Straight to the moon!"
- >This princess has the best god damn poker face in any universe you've ever visited.
- >"Is that a normal greeting from your world?"
- >Twilights wide eyes and expressionless face scream at you to say yes. Go with it and you will be fine.
- >You can swear you can hear her willing the thoughts into your head.
- "Nope, figured I'd drop the formalities, nothing special here." You gesture towards the princess at the end of your line.
- >If Twilight wasn't sure you was going to the moon before, she is now. You can both feel the rage building up in the silence of the room
- >You wait for the princess to explode. Seconds turn into minutes turn into hours while you wait for a response. She open her mouth;
- >"Quite, no need for formalities here. I am princess Celestia. Ruler of Equestria, however you may call me Celestia."
- >Not really what you was after... Twilight looks like she's about to faint.
- >"I wish to learn more about you Anonymous, what you are and where you come from. Although you must be hungry. Please, join us."
- >A chair is push out from next to Celestia and she motions for you to sit. You do so, only in the hopes you can fuck things up... Royally.
- >You Take a seat next to Celestia as multiple ponies start to bring food out onto the commodious Table.
- >Another pony arrives at the table, this one is black, her mane reflecting the night sky itself.
- >She gives you a half hearted smile as she sits down. Looking upon the table of food. She offers you one of the bowls.
- >"Peppers?"
- >You resist the urge to throw up as they're passed directly under your nose. You send the bowl flying.
- >The princess gasps, but before anything can be said twilight rush's in to 'Save the day again'.
- >"Oh, sorry princess. Anon's allergic to peppers, he means no disrespect. He's already had one fateful encounter with them this week."
- >Twilight winks at you as if to say 'Hey don't worry, I've got your back'.
- >How the fuck did she even know? Probably dash telling everyone. This is why you hate people and ponies alike.
- >She smiles understandingly and continues to eat. Celestia now starts off a game of twenty questions.
- >Celestia asks you about major human accomplishments in history. The most recent of them first.
- >Naturally, the first thing you begin to explain is the third reich.
- >You go into grizzly details about how Nazi German tried to commit genocide. Killing millions of humans in a short span of time.
- >You notice everyone in the room, even the guards on edge and you explain this to them. The room is deafly silent.
- >"Are you a Nazi Anon?" Twilight almost cowering behind her words.
- "No."
- >'Wait. FUCK!' Instantly you regret going on reflex for that answer as everyone sighs in relief.
- >You're turn for some questions now. You look over to the pony with the starry mane and begin your inquiries.
- "So, Who are you then? You haven't given me a name yet."
- >"I AM PRINCESS LUNA, I CONTROL THE VERY NIGHT, I RAISE THE MOON AND PAINT THE SKY WITH STARS!"
- >She answers in what can only be described as a full on caps lock voice.
- "So you and Celestia are bigger than all the other ponies I've met, are you like horses or something?"
- >That's done it. You can hear withdrawn gasps around the room from the servants.
- >Luna looks absolutely livid.
- >" HOW DARE THEE SAY SU-" Celestia interjects Luna, clearly angered by the comment.
- >"Now now Luna. Anon here is from another world. He knows no better."
- >Luna with draws herself from the shouting. You're in torment at how much it is taking to get sent to the moon.
- >"I AM SORRY FOR OUR OUTBURST." Still visibly annoyed she sits back down.
- >It shouldn't be long now. Just gotta push the right buttons and you can have sweet release.
- >Honestly you felt bad about being a dick. Although you do what you must to get what you need.
- >Celestia asks you if you have any relation to monkeys, being bi-pedal and having similar form it's a fair question.
- >You explain to her that humans actually evolved from monkey like creatures over billions of years.
- >Its faint although you can hear a servant from over in the distance make a quip at your expense
- >"Heh, wonder if it like bananas as well." His buddy next to him snickers.
- >Like fuck where you about to be insulted by a talking pony. Least of all a servant of the princess.
- >With the force of Hades himself you stand. Forcing the chair behind you to spiral backwards. Knocking a servant to the ground.
- >You inhale more air than you have collectively ever inhaled in your entire life. Your eye's wild you shout right into Celestia's ear.
- "I FUCKING LOVE BANANAS!"
- >"THAT... IS... IT!" Her voice, nearly shattering the glass in the room.
- >She rises from the table. A look of pure rage on her face. Everyone in the room is solidified. Unable to move if they wanted to.
- >Her horn begins to glow. Anon, start your countdown. The light growing and growing.
- >The excitement in the knowledge of what's to come next unbearable. The light completely engulfs your body.
- >You feel all you anxieties melt away. Bathing in the glow of the light you whisper to yourself.
- "Finally..."
