- >Wake up.
- >Darkness is all around you.
- >You feel long wet grass on the palm of your hands, as you lie down.
- >Slowly coming to your feet, you find yourself standing in the middle of a dark forest.
- "Hello?"
- >Walking through the forest would be pointless.
- >You can't see the stars to get your bearings, and you aren't sure how far away you are from your parish.
- >You are Anon.
- >Resident priest of a small church in a small town.
- "Is anyone there?"
- >You hear something move in the darkness.
- >Attempting to focus your eyes on the noise, you see a form emerging from the darkness.
- "Hello? I'm Fr. Anon. Do you know which way I have to go into town?"
- >The form comes closer, appearing to be some form of horse.
- >Upon closer inspection, a zebra.
- "Oh. Ok. I had to admit you had me nervous."
- >"I did not mean to give a scare. But, what sort of creature has such hair?"
- >Did that zebra just talk?
- >Is God testing you?
- >Zebras don't talk.
- "I'm... sorry? Did you just talk?"
- >"Of course I am an animal that can talk. I have a good feeling we should walk."
- >This zebra talks.
- >You must be dreaming.
- >Conversing with the zebra is truly otherworldly.
- >Everything she says is in the form of rhyme.
- >She slowly leads you out of the forest, and you see a small town on the horizon.
- >It doesn't look like home, but if this is a dream, you can hardily assume anything.
- >The sun begins to slowly rise over the horizon as you enter the foreign town.
- >Everything seems to be just a few sizes too small for humans.
- "What a curious place..."
- >You sit on a bench in, what appears to be, the center of town.
- >Several more horse creatures begin to venture out of the buildings in town.
- >The correct term is probably equestrian.
- >What a weird dream.
- "Hey! Could somebody help me?"
- >One of the ponies turn to look at you.
- >They stop in the middle of their tracks, and stare at you.
- >Slowly, more of the creatures stop to stare at you.
- "Uh. Hi. I'm Father Anon... Could someone show me to the leader? Or maybe the church?"
- >The ponies whisper among themselves.
- >"What is that thing?"
- >"It can talk."
- >"Maybe we should go get Twilight."
- >You stand up slowly.
- >They admire your height in awe.
- >An orange pony with blonde hair begins to slowly trot up to you.
- >"Hiya, my name is Applejack. I've never seen a creature like you before... Kinda like a monkey."
- >A small groan escapes your lips.
- "I can assure you that the human race has zero relation to monkeys."
- >She looks you over.
- >"Hmm. Funny. Whelp. I'm gonna take you to mah friend Twilight. I think she may be able to help ya out."
- "Thank you Applejack. God bless you."
- >She looks at you funny.
- >"Uh huh. I've never heard that before. Just follow me, we'll be there in a jiffy."
- >Many more stares find your way as you follow the small horse towards a large tree.
- >When will this weird dream end?
- >Applejack knocks on the door of the large tree.
- >A purple horse answers the door, and looks up wide eyed at you.
- "Hi. I'm father Anon."
- >"Hi... my name is... Twilight Sparkle."
- "I'm... trying to find my way home. Where am I?"
- >She looks at you inquisitively.
- >"This is Ponyville, in the country of Equestria."
- "Equestria... I've never heard of that country on Earth."
- >She examines you carefully.
- "You... do know what Earth is... right?"
- >She shakes her head.
- >This doesn't feel like a dream anymore.
- >This is beginning to feel like a nightmare. God help you.
- >"I have a feeling that we should take you to the ruler of Equestria."
- "Why would you do that? Doesn't that seem to be a bit extreme?"
- >"Well, we've never had something like this happen before, and I am a student of the princess."
- "Princess?"
- >"Princess Celestia. The goddess of the sun."
- >Oh no.
- >These ponies are heathens.
- >God help them.
- "Do you think she may know how I can get to Earth?"
- >"If anyone will know... it's her."
- "Fair enough."
- >You will have to tolerate their practices of worship for now.
- >Getting back home is the first priority.
- "Take me to meet this... Celestia."
