Chapter 1: Chasing destiny with blind eye

I open my eyes full of energy, standing again, but this time i am inside a torch lit stone.. tomb? I see no way out. Torches must be burning for an eternity, because the world is convenient like that. I do not have the luxury of worrying about the tomb just yet, because i have some really odd information in my mind. Choices, to be exact. I have to choose my race? But do i not have a body alre-Whoa, i am a ghost!? I am ”white” and transparent, i can not talk or produce a sound of any kind. I try to pick up a small rock on the ground, but my hand passed right through it. I try to pass through the wall, but that does not work for some reason. Seems like i am restricted in some ways. I close my eyes and i can see something, that looks a lot like a selection window resembling some old book pages.

Oh wait, all the races and species are unavailable. The "window" starts moving down, revealing more unavailable choices. I pass thousands of species untill the first and only available choice appears. Pony (FiM, Cartoony). There seems to be other Pony choices, that i can not choose, just like there were many choices for other species. Hundreds of humanoid races, even some dragon races and some i have never heard of. I tried to say "Pony it is!" out loud, but no voice came out from my mouth. I chose the pony race and a bright light suddenly FLASHED before my eyes ..or actualy it might been me that flashed. I am no longer a ghost of my old body. Ah, walking is hard! How does everypony move with these? I fell down and after realizing how hard it is to get back up, i give up and close my eyes again. It does not look like i can customize my looks further, so i am stuck with what i have. No horn or wings and both body and mane are pure white. I must look ridiculous! I close my eyes for the third time and now all i can do is choose START.

As i do that, a bag appears. I now stand up and realize i have the skills required for walking or running and interacting with objects as if i had been a pony for a long time. I take the bag -CRASH- The floor of the tomb brakes and i fall down.. from the sky?! I am falling down to a world that looks like Equestria! There is a river right bellow me, but how in the world could i survive a fall from this height?! I start screaming with my new pony voice. I look up and the tomb where i fell down from is nowhere to be seen. Last moment of panic and a big SPLASH! It hurts. I am trying to set my priorities straight, but the pain is unbearable!  In panic i try to breath and swallow a lot of water. Everything goes dark..

I open my eyes and start coughing water and breath in fresh air. Then i hear a familiar over dramatic voice from the lake. It is a Sea Serpent i recognize.

Serpent: "Oh, you are ok! What a world! Earth ponies falling from the sky!"

Neto?: "T-thank you! I was convinced, that i wont be able to survive the fall."

Serpent: "Then do not fall! My heart can not handle such daring stunts!"

Neto?: "Sorry, but it was an accident. Oh, i do not know your name! It would be bad if i didn't know the name of my savior."

Steven: "A Savior? Me? Oh, what a fabulous title to hold! My name is Steven Magnet!

Not a name i expected.. I am trying to figure out how Magnet fits him, but i get interrupted by Steven who is looking at me REALLY closely with an expression, that i can only describe as curiosity mixed with fear.

Steven: "Are you.. blind?"

Neto?: "What? I can see fine."

Steven: "Your eyes are entirely white! It looks unnatural!"

Neto?: "So even my pupils are white.. That will not help me get along with whomever i meet."

Steven is starting to look slightly nervous and i think it would be better if i leave, since i can not give a reasonable explanation for my looks.

Neto?: "Ah, i really have to go now. I have something important to do. If i ever get the chance, i will repay the favor to you!"

Steven: "Um, yes.. Do not forget your bag! You were holding on to it really tight while drowning!"

I take my bag and hurry in to the forest behind me. I now go through what happened and have some time to think about my new voice. It is much softer, than what i am used to. Also i find it hard to belive, that i almost died before having a chance to explore this world. I did not even introduce myself to the Serpent and i think it is for the best. My old name might sound slightly odd.. If you can call it odd after meeting Steven Magnet the Sea Serpent.

While i am walking, i realize, that i know what is inside the bag simply by touching it. I open it and look inside, but it is empty. Now i am really confused, so once again i close my eyes. I can see the content of my bag in another "window". Apparently i have a small Alicorn figurine, a note, a scroll of identify, unidentified ring, unidentified boots and 6 apple pies. So apparently i am now playing an RPG game in my new reality. I select the note and it gives me an options to read, erase and drop. I obviously want to read it.

"Hello and welcome!

Had a timeline issue. Had to alter it and let the ponies decide the location.

Sorry for the wait!

Your name is White Plague

Good luck!"

I have no idea what the first part means, but i do not like my new name. Why would anypony want Plague to be a part of their name? While thinking of a better name, i kept walking in the forest, not realizing i entered the Everfree Forest.

I figured i could use the word Destiny in my name. But now i just have to decide if i am dealing with first or last part of my name. While wondering about that, i look in front of me and realize i am staring at a chicken. "What, are you lost?", i said kindly, but realized too late that i am staring at a cockatrice and that i am turning to stone. "Oh shit", is all i can really say while i close my eyes, but i can feel, that it is too late to stop the process.

"Gahh, i am so blind! I didn't realize how dangerous Equestria is! "Blind Destiny, what a fitting name for an idiot like me who is about to die! Actually screw that Destiny part. Sounds too cocky for my taste".. Is what i manage to say before turning to a stone statue, but apparently i can still think. Am i going to be here, stuck thinking, for the rest of my life? Actualy, can i even age while i am like this? I can not see or hear or feel. I try to move and scream, but nothing happens. I am afraid.

Time has passed and thanks to the "window" i see, i know exactly how long has passed. 3 weeks, 2 days, 19 hours 27 minutes and about.. 20 seconds. A lot of thinking has been done. I now call myself Blind White and i agree with myself, that it is simply perfect. I also had a long discussion with me, about what is going on in Equestria. I came to conclusion and me also agrees, that it is likely, that someday my statue will grow old and shatter to pieces, or something else brakes it. Eventually Equestria will be attacked by a greedy selfish species, like humans. I also think about my past as a human and wonder how some of the shows i watch would continue. I also had no idea how terrible it feels to not be able to cry. I haven't cried since i were a kid, but here i am, ready to shed tears. I want this to end. Death is better than this.
