The Beginning

“Man has gone out to explore other worlds and other civilizations without having explored his own labyrinth of dark passages and secret chambers, and without finding what lies behind doorways that he himself has sealed” -Stanislaw Lem



~~~~~~~~Bogota, New Jersey~~~~~~~~

The sound of a church organ like instrumental silently filled my room. I wake up from my slumber as I rub my eyes. I then get out of my bed and walk to my phone. It kept vibrating as the Eddie Van Halen instrumental kept playing. It sat on top of my Peavey amplifier and I finally picked it up and turned off the alarm. I gave a light sigh and turned on my lights. January 9, 2015. I put on my pants and t-shirt. I shuddered from the cold feel of the denim from my jeans. I then put my belt and then my white flannel. And finally my shoes. I put my headphones and my Android in my pocket as I made my way to the hallway.

I turned off the lights and closed my door, running down the stairs I see my mother preparing breakfast for me and my brothers for school. A nice hot cup of tea and a warm cinnamon bun with frosting made my day. I suddenly noticed today was Friday. Yes! Saturday tomorrow and I think today is going to be a great day. 30 minutes later I grabbed my coat and my car keys and went outside. The cold winter wind literally slap me right in the face as I then got in my car, my lovely 1999 Honda Civic DX. Turning on the engine I felt the heater blast my face as it dissolves my cold skin. Pulling out of the driveway I turned on my radio and then drove away from my small town.

“104.3 Rock Radio, here is your traffic today. Hello everybody and happy Friday! There has been an accident on the New Jersey Turnpike, traffic will be backed up until 12 p.m. this afternoon. Route 17 has one lane in repairs due to pot holes from the snow. And now your weather today. Today will be 34 degrees with some heavy snowfall around 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Now start your morning have a little Van Halen and then some Rush after that.” I smiled as my favorite band began to play on the radio, Van Halen’s Runnin’ With The Devil.

As I rode down the street my phone rang. I put on my headphones and hit the button that was connected to the left side of the ear bud.

"Hello?" I slowed my speed as I talked"

"Hey Marcelo!" my friend Katy spoke.

"Hey Katy. Whats up?"

"Nothing much. I was wondering if you could help me with my homework."

"Which subject is it?"

"It's U.S. History. Think you can help me?" I chuckled. History is actually my favorite subject.

"Sure. I'll be at the school in 15 minutes."

"Okay. Thank you!" she then hung up as I took my headphones off.

It would have been easier to text, but I was never that much of a person that texts 24/7. I soon got on the highway and began to pick up speed. Gilding down the highway and good rock music is a really great combo. The trip on the highway was short. I exited out into the streets and made my way to my school.

I finally arrived to school, 45 minutes before the bell rings. The school is always empty at 7:12 a.m. I then went to my locker to get my binder for first period. After that I walked to the cafeteria where my friend Katy was there. I settled my binder next to her and went to the hot lunch station to get some coffee. I came back to her and sat across from her.

After helping her with History I began to draw, to kill some time you know?. I always draw guitars on my spare time. Mostly customization and modifications. Most of the drawing are Eddie Van Halen guitars. I did drew a white Peavey Wolfgang Special with a Steinberger TransTrem system and as well drawing the 1982 Hide Your Sheep Tour double neck guitar.

After 8 hours of school the bell rang and the students walked to their lockers. Outside, the ground was covered in bright snow. The salt trucks plowed the slow while salting the asphalt road. I got out of the building and walked to my car. My friend Peter walked next to me.

“So are you doing anything tomorrow, Marcelo?” he asked as we walked on the parking lot

“I’m going to the mall and hang out. Maybe buy a video game I guess. You can tag along if you want?” I replied back to him.

“Alright, see you tomorrow man!” He then walked away

I waved back as he walked up the street towards his house. After a long drive though the snow I got home. My parents weren’t home yet and my brothers were already home. I went up stairs to my room and plugged my phone to my charger. I then turned on my Peavey 6505 amp and turned on my delay and noise gate pedals. I grab my EVH Striped Series guitar, oh how I loved it. I then play some random songs on the guitar, 2 hours past and I put my guitar down. Yeah, that’s how I spend my day. My parents arrived home and I walked down stairs. We then ate dinner and I went back up stairs. I turned on the T.V. and began to watch a movie and a couple of shows.

It was now 11:46 p.m. and I was getting tired. I went to the bathroom to go take a shower to get ready for tomorrow. After showering I put my t-shirt on and my shorts and turned of my lights. I then climbed my bed and began to doze off into sleep. Soon I was dreaming in the silence of my room.

I dreamed of my guitar playing. My dream was suddenly interrupted by a strange figure and I can tell it was a horse, but it wasn't like any horse. It had a horn and wings and a flowing mane. The silhouette was behind a bright blinding light as visions then came into view. I tried to wake up, but to no avail. Then a dark cloud came to view. It transformed into a gruesome horse with sharp teeth and a curved horn. His eyes were i mixture of green and purple and all it did was growl at me. It then let out a bloodcurdling roar which instantly woke me up from my slumber.

I woke up sweating and rapidly breathing. I looked around only to see the sun starting to come up. Looked at my watch as it read 5:24 a.m. I sighed in relief that the dream was over and gone, but the roar was will in my head. I turned on the T.V. to get it off my mind and relax for a bit.

It was already 9:30 a.m. and I went down stair to make some breakfast. I went to the fridge to see if there was any bacon or chicken. "Who ate all the fucking bacon? I said in my mind. I checked to see if there was any chicken. None! "I gotta go to the market later." I then remembered that I have to go to the mall at 5:30 to hang out with my friend. I pour some cereal in a bowl and poured in the milk. Guess I will be having cereal today...

It was 3:12 in the afternoon. I put on my black t-shirt on and my jeans. I then put on my white flannel and shoes. I was ready to go, but I was missing something else...my watch and cellphone. As well I slid my charger in my pocket in case my phone dies. I grabbed my coat and car keys and went outside to my sedan. I pulled out of the driveway and went straight for Interstate 80.

Just running down the highway I saw massive traffic ahead. I groaned and came to a halt. I turned on the radio and listen for the traffic report.

"So anybody going on Interstate 80 better avoid, because there has been a major accident involving a paint truck and a SUV just near the exit to Paterson. So everybody plan a different route because it's going to take hours to get this paint cleaned up."

I sighed as I decided to exit the highway. I know that Route 4 is clogged due road construction and Route 17 is connected to the Interstate. I decided to take the streets and drive up to the north.

"Fuck!" I shouted. I was lost in a different part of Bergen County. I maneuvered through the streets trying to find where the mall was. I soon ended up in a forest on Clinton Rd. I heard stories that it was haunted and I didn't believe that shit. Struggling on the curves was hard to deal with. I soon saw a dirt road just a couple feet away. I looked at my cellphone to see if it was a path. So far it was and it lead to country road. My watch read 4:45 and I was going to be late. I took my chances with the road. Although my car is not use to off road and it wasn't a 4-wheel drive. It adjusted just fine, but the road was bumpy. Just as my hopes were high I heard a loud crack. I quickly stopped and got out of my car. I looked to see if there was any damage, but so far there was nothing. I got back in, but what happened next was unimaginable. The ground shook and it began to sink. Now I was completely scared and I stepped on the gas pedal trying to get away. The ground sank further and what I couldn't believe eyes was a bright light at the under carriage of the car. I felt a force pulling the car towards it as I heard a loud buzzing noise and that's when everything went black.

~~~~~~~~Ponyville, Equestria~~~~~~~~

Twilight was at a field reading a book on The History of Equestrian Authors. She wore a magenta coat, blue jeans and purple boots. She then felt a light breeze followed by a loud explosion deep in the Everfree Forest. She was startled by loud boom and yet also frighten. She closed her book and got up to see where it came from.

"Where did that noise could have come from?" she fluttered her wings towards the sky and began to search which part of the forest the noise originated from. As she flew she spotted a dark green metal object in the forest. She gasped as she flew straight down towards it. Her mind began to race with many questions to figure out what the object was. One common answer came to her mind.

"I-It's a U.F.O.!" She got close to the object as she then scanned its 4 black wheels as well as the H marking on it. Her horn lit up as she resumed to scan the back only to see the exact same H mark and some words to the right of it.

"Civic? What does that mean?" The door suddenly opened as a creature fell out from it. She gasped as the creature spoke up weakly.

"H-Help..." the creature soon was unconscious.
