Chapter One: Domino Effect

Death's P.O.V.

I've seen many people... Err... ponies. Wait... No. Nevermind. I've seen many souls pass through the void, the darkness. Waiting. Waiting, for me.

Some of them deserved life. Violently tooken from them by madmen, and even though these... madman had a heatbeat, they never where alive.

Through out my travels I have learned very much. Became very wise. And gained many stories. One of which stories I'm going to tell you. But only if you listen. Su'um Ahrk Morah.

Now come. Sit. Listen.

I'll show you something.

Caspian's P.O.V.

I was in a daze. My head ached, my eyes burned. Brain was a blender... in my stomach, which was doing cartwheels like a gymnist. It hadn't deen long, maybe a day, or a week, no... a month, tops. But I still didn't know when the dominos would fall and things would set in motion.

It was a question without an answer. Or at least I didn't have it, or knew how to get it. I just walked, dragging each hoof slowly, scraping the road. My head bowed, mane set to one side, wings pulled tightly to my body. I couldn't use them, I didn't know how.

My destenation was unclear, as I was on new ground. I knew very little of this road. Or where it would take me.

Twilight's P.O.V.

I woke up to an empty library. Not that I don't like having the library to myself, I just wish someone else would use it. So that the musty old books didn't just sit on the bookshelf for eternity.

It was around noon, I stired some tea. My friends would be here soon. There was a ring of a bell, it signaled the front door had just opened. Weird. Her friends usually knock. She turned to the front, standing there confused, was a young stallion. He had a uneven mane and a hanging head. He looked pitiful, he was sleep-deprived and problembly has had a decient meal in a couple of days. I aproached him. "Hello." He was the first to speak.

"Hello. My name is Twilight Sparkle. I live her."

He was dumbfounded, "you... live here?" he asked. He was also new here, I nodded. He asked "so can you point me in the direction of some books?"

"Umm... sure what are you looking for?" I answered.

"Cross-demention travel and... Humans.." the last word he said uneasy.

I didn't want to push the topic, but I didn't know what a human was, and well, I was interested. "Humans?" I asked.

He thought about it for a moment, he picked his words carefully, tasting each one in his mouth. "Apes," he decide, "sentiant evolutionized apes."

Now I was confused, apes where rare in Equestia, now intellegent apes, that was just proposterious. "Do they lived here? On Equstia?" My eggerness surprised him.

"Well... No. They don't exist here." He answered, at the time I believe that by 'not existing here' he meant exstint not a different demention, which I was soon to find out.

Twilight's P.O.V.

We didn't have any books on dementional travel or humans, but I got him the closest to the subjects I could find. He thanked me and sat at a table, gazing at the pages with his eyes. His eyes. There was something differant with his eyes they looked like any other eye, but they were different. They were older then his face. If you looked closly at them they weren't the same, the left was slightly different then the right. A lighter color, which was hard to describe, you would glance at it and label it green, then you would look upon them and swear they where blue, after gazing at them I just couldn't name the color, they looked green and blue at the same time. Odd, I know.

He burned holes in thepages with his eyes, I wasn't sure what he was looking for, or if he was even looking for anything at all.

I walked over to the table he stationed himself at, I sat across from him. "You never told me your name," I informed him.

He looked up, "Caspian."

"So... Caspian," I paused, "what brings you to Ponyville?"

"Blind intuition," was his answer.

At that moment I realised that there was no making sense of this pony, I dropped the subject all togather, "Caspian, I'm going to have some friends over later-" he cut me off.

"Okay. Okay, I'm almost done here, I'll be out of your hair before then," Caspian said quickly.

"No need, you can stay. I'm not going to kick you out for my own selfish reasons." I could see the relief on his face, but it soon changed to fear.

"How many?" Caspian asked.

I was going to question why he asked that question, but decided not to, "six. Including me."

The fear subsided, "thank you," Caspian said.

Not knowing how to continue I looked at his body and realised just how thin he was, much more then a couple of days. "Caspian," he looked up, "do you want me to make you anything to eat?"

Caspian stared into my irises. "If it wouldn't be to much trouble, then. Yes! Please, yes. I'm starving."

Death's P.O.V.

It was a few hours after Caspian's meal that things where set in motion. When everyone was there. Shall we?

Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Futtershy, Applejack, and Pinky Pie, stood in idle conversation, feet away from where Caspian had his head in his books. The girls didn't try to disturb him. But they did disturb Twilight Sparkle.

"What is his name?" Rarity asked.

"Why is he here?" Applejack questioned.

"What is he reading? Fluttershy entered.

"Hes' cute." Pinkie Pie stated.

"Caspian. Reading. Something on smart apes. And yeah I know." Twilight Sparkle covered everything.

Rainbow Dash, who has been silent until this point muttered, "another Pegasis. Reading?!"

The others laughed. Ahh laughter. What they didn't know was Caspian heard everything. He even smirked.

Then the pain started.

He winced. It hurt. Things were set into motion. The six girls noticed him painfully get up, noticed his pain, and noticed his fall.

Twilight Sparkle was the first one to be by him, "are you okay?" Her voice was full of fear.

Caspian looked up, face in agony, "please..." he croaked, "go... I'll be fine. Just-" she touched his hoof.

Everything went dark.

Caspian's P.O.V.

I woke up flesh on grass. Eyes opened, I was in a feild. I was a human, looking around I saw six other girls laying in the grass, also humans.

"Oh no."

Ahh, cliffhangers. Thanks for reading, review for bacon!

But seriously. Review.

Coming soon. Chapter two.
