Author's note: This is a reposting of my old Spirit of Harmony story. It was taken down due to a prank from my sister, but it is now back up for everyone to once again read. While I no longer find myself to be a brony anymore, I am unwilling to let any of my stories float away unfinished, so this story will be completed.

Chapter 1: Is this Real Life?

Within the Everfree Forest, rest the Castle of the Two Sisters. It has long fallen into disrepair as nature slowly reclaims the once magnificent building. In one of its many chambers resides the old resting place for the Elements of Harmony. All seems normal in the room, nothing out of the ordinary, but the stone piece begins to spark, emitting of different colored bolts of electricity.

The bolts continue to hit randomly around the room for several minutes. Finally the bolts begins to gain some semblance of order, and begins to arc to one another. The bolts all meet above the structure, and a glowing sphere appears in the middle of the electricity. This sphere begins to expand, and expand till it is has about tripled in size. The Arcs of Electricity begins to lower this sphere atop the stone structure's main sphere.

The bolts then retract themselves in to the old resting places, leavening the glowing sphere along. Soon the sphere's light began to dim, and stopped all together. One the stone sphere now sat an unusual creature.

This creature had very little hair on its body, most of it was some disorganize mop of brown hair on its head. Its eyes were small, and a bright green that almost seemed to glow. It was roughly 5'7, so it would stand above many of the locals. What has this odd creature? Then it said its first words since it appeared.

"Where the hell did I land in?"

(POV-Creature)

"Now this is just weird," I said. "Why am I in some run down…" I look around in the dimly lit area. "Castle?" I question the sight around me.

I try to look around to get a better view of where I was. It really does seem to be an old castle. But how did I end up here?

'Ok, ok, just try to recall what you did before this,' I told myself. 'I was listening to those binaural beats; it was on... astral projection I believe. I let myself drift, but something pulled me.'

"Great at least I know how I got here," I sighed as I shook my head in disappointment. "But where is here?"

"Well standing around here is going to get me anywhere so might as well see what else is around here"

I slid down off of the stone sphere, and left the chamber. As I entered the hall way, I saw numerous doors. Many of them were so rotted that they seemed to barley be able to stay on the hinges. I doubt I could find any answers to where I was in this place, and looking through all of those doors would take too long. So I move further down the hall.

I manage to find the entrance, or in my case exit, and took my first step into this unknown land. I could see the land around me; I really was in some random castle. But then I looked out to the surrounding land I was deep in some forest.

"Well at least I'm not in a desert "I said, trying to keep a positive outlook. "

I continued out of the castle, till I found something that I knew I was going to hate.

'A rope bridge, they put a rope bridge to access this place. You would think they would have a real bridge not, some flimsy thing that could snap and cause people to... fall... to their death… I need to stop thinking about this'

I slowly walked across this trying my best not to look down while chanting, "Almost across, almost across". I hate heights, no scratch that, I hate the idea falling.

Once I walked across that accursed bridge, I heard a snap. I turn around to see the bridge's robe snapped. I just stood their staring at it for a while, and then walked into the forest, trying to forget what almost happened.

As I walked deeper in the forest, I noticed that I actually liked this place. The air was clean, the smell was full of aromas, and the sky had no smog. Where ever I landed, it sure wasn't back home.

I continued my stroll/exploration to find out where I was, and soon, I did manage to find something. I heard someone's voice. I didn't recognize the language, but it sounded like a song. I continued to follow the song guide me through the foliage. It led me to what looked like a small hut. I never actually seen one in real life, but the photographs did look kind of like this. Since I already came this far, I might as well see who this is. I went up and knocked on the door, and the song stopped.

"I will be with you and one moment" I could hear something like wooden blocks hitting the ground getting closer to the door. Then the door opened. "Hello, I am sorry for the postponement".

When the door opened I didn't see anyone, but I could hear them.

"Down here odd sir, looking at someone is how I prefer"

I looked down, and there I saw was a miniature zebra.

"I am Zecora odd one, who are you, you seem stun."

I blink in confusion at the sight infront of me. Did I land in some world populated by magical zebras?

""I am Daniel, it is nice to meet you Zecora," I tried to hid my surprise at what I was doing. It was just too weird talking to… well a zebra. "Um, can you tell me where I am?" I asked her.

"You are in the Everfree Forest, it is where so much unnatural things flourish," stated Zecora. She tilts her head, "But I have been here for many seasons, I have never seen you kind for any reason."

Does she rhyme everything? And she called me odd. And 'Everfree Forest', I have never heard of this place before. Am I even on Earth anymore?

"Um, I am not from around here, I am a human, and I-"I started to say, but was cut off when Zecora slammed the door in my face.

"Stay away from here beast, I have no desire to be deceased!" Zecora yelled from within her hut.

Beast? What brought this on? I think this zebra has some mental issues, might explain why it lives in the middle of a forest. I decided not to take any chances with this possible insane zebra and continued to travel further into the forest.

"Where is the end to this forest!?" I yelled in tired exasperation. This forest just doesn't seem to end. Ever. I have been walking thought this forest for hours now; you would think that an end would be found by now.

After a few more minutes of trudging I end up in a clearing, and low and behold, I was back at the castle. That's it, this forest is evil, and doesn't want me to leave. Or maybe I just walked in a big circle, who knows.

"Well the sun is setting, guess I'm going to have to go back to the-", looks at the bridge "-Never mind, looks like I'm going to be out here for a while." Looks around, and sees nothing to use as any form of shelter. "Great now I am going to have to something else." What to do, what to do. Guess I'm sleeping in the trees then.

I go up to one of the trees and attempt to climb. As I begin to climb, crack, the branch breaks. "Ouf" I land hard on my back, knocking the wind out of me. "Screw the positive outlook, this place is terrible," I then throw the branch into the forest. The branch lands in the bush, and hit something, and it wasn't happy by the sound of its growl.

Some sort of wood construct came out of bush, with the branch in its mouth. Is that thing a wolf? Oh hell. "Easy boy, I didn't mean to hit you," I hold up my hands to try to calm it down. The wolf thing continued to get closer. And then it did something I didn't expect it to do. It set down the sit, and nudged it towards me.

"…" Did this thing want to play fetch? I honestly did not expect to be living within the next minute. So I picked up the branch, and noticed a sticky residue on the branch. Does this thing drool sap? "Um, fetch?" And I threw the branch again, and the wood wolf went to go pick it up, and brought it back again. "Good wolf?"

So it seems that I get along well with this thing, whatever it is. Well looks like I have a friend now. But I still need to find somewhere I can rest. Well since I could talk to a zebra, maybe this guy (?) can help me. "Um do you know a place I can rest?" The wolf gives a bark. So I am going to take it that this guy does understand me. And next thing I know the wolf starts to move near the edge of the clearing, and stops to wait for me. "Oh sorry, I'm coming".

I follow the wolf into forest, deeper and deeper into it. I hope that this isn't some kind of trap, and he is the big bad wolf. I continue to follow it till it led me to a cave. We this is better than nothing. "Thank you wolf" I said to the wooden wolf. It gave me a quick bark, and left on its way.

"Well than, guess I have someplace to call home while I'm here" I said as I walked into the cave. As I walked further into the cave I noticed that there was quite a bit of room in here. I would have plenty of space to move around. There was even another chamber near the end of the cave to a small space. Well this is better than nothing.

It is getting rather late, so I might as well sleep. One patch of dirt is just as good as the other, I guess. I lay down on the ground a just drift to sleep.
