Equestria's Alchemist
The day my life changed is when I felt my house begin to shake violently and I assumed that there was an earthquake happening outside, though that seemed unlikely since the eastern seaboard didn't usually have them.
Sorry if my introduction is throwing you off, for starters my name is Tyson Abadear. I'm 21 years old and I live by myself. My parents died when I was 16 and I was forced to grow up fast in order to survive, but if you knew me at all it was that I was pretty smart.
My eyes are brown as well as my hair, 6'0 is my height and I'm average build. Anyway, before we go into the story, here some things about me that I should share. I don't have friends as I never saw the need for any, I have family but I chose to stay away from them because I like to be alone.
As I said before, I'm pretty smart because my brain can remember anything it takes in weather its information or miscellaneous things really. Its how I've survived for so long.
Now on to the story. When my house finally stopped shaking is when I went to go inspect whatever damaged was done to the outside. But that was when I was things kind of got a little weird for me.
You see, I expected to see my normal neiborhood and a bit of collateral damage but instead I saw something like and old little town with houses that have hay for roofs and looked a bit cartoonish really. As well as the inhabitance. Which were ponies.
Colorful, big eyed ponies with strange marks on their flanks. All of them staring at my house that just seemed to land in their town out of nowhere along with a creature that probably isn't native to their lands. Where ever it is.
At the time at did what any sane person would in this sort of situation, slammed the door shut and went back to my room and try to convince myself that this was all just some sort of fucked up dream that I was having.
But my mind knew better than that since I tend to be a lucid dreamer, and I was definitely NOT in control of this dream. Not by a long shot.
Since there was no point in denying what's happened I decided to start my day like I normally do. Taking a shower, putting on a pair of jeans, red shirt, denim jacket, and white sneakers. After eating some breakfast, I went to my room and grabbed one of my philosophy books that belonged to my father.
I've read every book in the house and memorized every word but still enjoyed reading. But before I could there was a knock at the door.
"Guess it was bound to happen sooner or later," I said,
When I opened the door there was one of those ponies standing there and staring at me in wonder but also a bit of fear. Their coat was grey and main of a bright blond as well as their strange eyes that went in two directions.
On their flank was a picture of. Bubbles? After staring at each other, (sort of), for a few minutes I finally spoke.
"I don't have any carrots to give, but I do have some apples if you want," I said, though I wasn't really expecting it to understand me.
"No thanks, but if you have any muffins that would be great."
Okay, a cartoon horse just talk to me like it's normal. That doesn't mean I'm crazy does it.
"Um, no sorry I don't have any muffins to give you. Maybe next time," I said.
"Okay then, bye."
And with that she flew away, (sort of), which made me realize that she was a Pegasus. This just keeps getting weird. Going inside I made a quick realization, I was going to run out of food soon and I would need to restock.
Only one problem, I'm not sure how the natives of this new world react when they see me walking around and that would only escalate problems for me. But life was about taking risks, so I took a deep breath and went outside to explore.
As expected, the ponies stared at me in curiosity and in fear. The whispering was slightly annoying really but I ignored it. The place was filled houses, shops, and an open air market.
At least they have something edible to eat. The market was filled fresh fruits and vegetables that looked better than the ones back home if I 'm being honest. When seeing the owner of one of the stands she freaked out, thinking that was going to eat her or something.
"Please, just take what you want but please don't hurt me," cried the mare.
That hurt, it really did but I kept calm and told her that I wasn't going to hurt her and that I didn't have any money to pay her for the stuff anyway.
Going around some more I eventually ran into this really annoying pink mare with balloons on her flank. When she bumped into me she jumped in the air with a large gasp and took off like hell on wheels in some random direction.
"The fuck was that about?"
Okay, since I'm stuck here I've to learn everything I can about this place so I don't end up killed by these things. They must have a library here so when I asked around they pointed to this Oak tree that was hollowed out to be a library.
The lights weren't on so I assumed it was closed but remembered that it was still early in the afternoon so I decided to go in and check but was greeted by an unexpected sight.
"SURPRISE!"
Tons of ponies came out of hiding and startled me, but only a little. Streamers, balloons and party favors were everywhere and there was a banner that read "Welcome to Ponyville, strange monster."
Okay, that was ticked me off. But at least I know where I am now. The pink pony from before sped toward me and spoke to fast to comprehend so it kind of sounded like, "hi I'm pinkie pie and I just threw you this super-duper welcome party because you're new I mean you have to be since I've never seen you before and I know every single pony in- "
Before this crazy bitch could keep talking she was silenced by a lavender mare with a dark purple mane and pink stripe. Also she a horn coming out of her head and some sort of star cluster on her flank.
"Sorry about that, she can be a bit over eccentric, anyway my name is-"
Before the mare could finish her sentence I was already out the door and heading home.
