why did i land here?
Chapter 2: landing
Previous Chapter Next ChapterAll I saw was darkness, A eery backnes that was as infinite as I could imagine it could be, Slowly small glowing orbs came into view, One was much brighter than the rest, and as I watched it drew near, until I touched it
I only remember part of what happened next but I remember plummeting to the surface of a strange planet, and wondering why I wasn't being burnt up.
I came to, wondering if it was all a dream, but I doubted it because I was to sore to even to open my eyes and I was on a hard surface,
" What happened "? I ask, but before I was able to think about it I felt myself being poked by something, I forced my eyes open and was bewildered by the creature that stood next to me, it looked like something out of Greek mythology, a horse with wings and a really funky hair colors.
I looked at this creature with half open eyes, once again thinking that this was a dream, but this was proven false when this thing poked me with its hoof again, right in the eye. I shot up and scooted away as fast as I could, I must have scared the creature to because it jump and spoke, it speaking was the last thing I would of expected, even though the words sounded like Chinese or Japanese, as if this was enough as I scooted away another of these creatures came over the lip of the little basin I was in, this one had wings and a purplish horn on its head.
It must've thought that I was dangerous because it approached me with caution, eyeing me every few seconds as it spoke with the first creature in that language they spoke, when it had finished talking it started to come towards me, and I fearing for myself tried to climb out of the basin, but fell back down from the side, by this time it was a few feet from me and I curled up in a ball to defend myself from the creature, whose horn had started to glow with a purplish shimmer, covering my face I peaked through my fingers to see the creature whose horn was just inches from my face, and as I watched it brought its horn to touch my for head, there was a flash of light, and the creature backed up.
I, in a state of shock couldn't believe that it hadn't killed me, uncurled from a ball and looked at the creatures intently, not knowing what was going on, the creature spoke to the other one, but to my surprise I could understand them, in a state of shock I start talking to myself, trying once again to make myself believe that this was a dream, but before I could convince myself the horned creature turned to me and spoke.
"friend or foe?" it asked, I still not completely registering this stayed silent "friend or foe"?
"friend " I answered, and the creatures visibly relaxed and in the rudest way possible asked what I was, and although I was annoyed at the uncourteous wording I answered that I am a human being from earth, and that somepeople call me quantum.
I wondering what they were asked them, they said they were equestrian and that there names were twilight and rainbow dash, and they had come here to see what happened when they saw a ball of fire going through the air and heard it hit the ground, and this is when I realized what I was in, not a basin but a crater that I must of made when I hit the ground.
I, trying to wrap up everything in my head asked them where I was, and they answered that I was near ponyville, no I said "what planet"?, they exchanged nervous glances.
" equestria" they replied, it fully hit me were I was as they answered that I was a entire universe away from my home in Utah, when something else popped into my mind, I said "oh holy hell I'm stuck in this dimension", startling both of them with my outburst.
simultaneously they asked " what"?, and I had to explain to them that
I had no way back to my home dimension.
Twilight caught on pretty quickly and must have realized that I was stuck here forever with no hope of ever returning back to Utah or even earth. She said that we better go to the queen about this, and she ended up explaining to me that the queen may be able to help. We climbed out of the hole and rainbow dash flew out, once that we were out twilight said that we should go to see the queen now.
It sounded like a plan, but they realized how slow I was once they outpaced me by almost a mile in about 30 seconds, they came back to me and we sat down, twilight thinking of a faster way there.
after about 2 minutes I realized that they had the basic body of a horse on earth and that humans often rode horses to get around faster, although when I told them this they seemed reluctant, but in lack of a better idea rainbow dash agreed to let me ride her, and after a 3 minute struggle to get up on her back and out of the way of her wings we took off, twilight flying next to me and rainbow dash up in the air. After a little while rainbow dash crained her head around and asked me if I wanted to see something cool, I answered yes, and suddenly she sped up, going faster and faster, until I heard a high pitch whine in the air, then aloud BOOM shook my bones.
she looked back again and asked "how was that"?
I replied " awesome", being that it was the only word I could think of at the time.
We soon landed at a large castle and waited for twilight to catch up to us, this took about 20 minutes and once she was in view she started cussing out rainbow dash for making a sonic boom so close to her, and after she calmed down she looked at me and said "there's some thing coming out of the side of your head". I reached up and felt something coming out of my ear, and when I looked at my hand after I brushed it off I realized my ears where bleeding "must have been the sonic boom" I say, shrugging it off.
rainbow dash was looking at me funny, and she asked if I was going to be alright,when I replied yes she apologized for not thinking that the blast may hurt me, and we all started walking into the castle.
