Thread: MLP:FiM - A Journey Across Worlds

Dear, To Whomever This May Concern The world feels a lot larger than it used to be. Even as I'm traveling on the road, I feel like I'm not all there. Like another part of me is drifting off in another direction than where I'm headed. Looking up at the night sky...I never noticed how beautiful the stars look, dancing within the heavenly light of now constant steady flow of ethereal energy now going through the sky. If you don't know what I'm talking about, think about Aurora Borealis. How the lights always dancing around, twisting, fusing with each other bringing out this impressive array of color that you can't find anywhere else. It's absolutely breathtaking to think about and the night sky reminds me of it. Oh...I forgot, I'm not here to talk about me here. Dash is sleeping right beside me while we're driving to our destination. Never would I have guessed that I get to have my own adventure with a creature that now I accepted does exist. It's been a long drive and I had a lot to think about...so many things I'm going to miss. My friends, my family, even the people that I work with. I'm going to miss them. I hope they do a lot of good with my stories I've written over the past. I don't suspect that I'd be coming from this one unscathed but if I can get Dash back to Equestria then it'd be all worth it. I've never done anything worth the ambition that I had for the life that I live now. I can honestly say, this meeting with this colorful equine was probably the best thing that happened to me so far...This can't be all, can it? Surely there's got to be something more than this? I don't want things to end like they are but I know that I have to. Maybe it's too soon to get attached, I'm pretty sure that I'm out of my mind at this point going to sneak past military lines just to have Dash to get her shot of finding her way home within Astral Plane. A place were all worlds are connected. Many roads, many possiblities. A place that Man will never get to experience in their mortal life. No doubt if we did, we'd infect everything else with our sinful nature and destroy that world that should have nothing to do with us in the first place. Wow...I sound even more depressing than usual, don't I? Sorry, I didn't mean to sound like that but how would you feel that not only you're going to lose the best thing that happened to you but you had the greatest possibility of losing your life in the process. I guess I'm afraid just like any rational person would but on this drive, I've made my peace. I'm pretty sure at this point I can welcome it, anything would be better than what I live now. I wish that I could go to Equestria with Dash, if nothing more than to experience her world with my own two eyes. Though there's no way that it'd happen, this is about her and I have to stop being so selfish. Sorry Dash, I just hope that you'll remember me when you get there. I'm writing these pages for you to remember me by when I'm gone and...despite our short time I'm glad to have met you, glad that you consider me a friend and trusted me. I guess that's why you're the Element of Loyalty, right? Heh. I wonder what Element I'd be if I chose to have one? Honesty, maybe. Well, it's time for me to kick this into high gear and get to that rift before it closes. Once it does, it'd be some time before she'd get back. There's no telling how long she'd be trapped here and if the military gets their hands on her...I shudder to think of that. We're almost there, I've been traveling for almost 6 hours straight. I hope Dash will be ready once we get there because we're at the point of no return now. From the road, I can see it. This big gaping hole in the sky. It seems to be sucking matter into it, God knows where it's coming out at. I can only hope somewhere it isn't going to hurt someone or somepony as the portal leads directly to Equestria...I hope. Dash said that she got flung here but there's no telling she'd get back to the same place even if she used the same rift that she came in. No, no...gotta stay positive. At least one of us got to be, I understand that Dash is very courageous and unshakable but even the strongest of will has a weakness. Anyway about the hole, it's giving off a lot of cosmic energy in all directions and each time it does, the cracks seem to get smaller and smaller while the vortex in the middle seems to be getting bigger since the space for the rift is getting smaller. Soon enough, Dash wouldn't be able to fit through it and that'd be a big problem as it may crush her. Great...another problem on my hands. There at the base of the cliff and the cave that Dash came out of are the many military tents, personnel, and vehicles. Scientists, mostly. It seems that their trying to discover what kind of danger or opportunity that this kind of energy could have on the world. I know that they know as much as I do that the energy isn't dangerous but benevolent, as it is the life energy of the Astral Plane which can be used for anything and since it is a force of nature and not something you can really stop. That energy might engulf the planet which arguably could mean that the human race will be either be getting one of two things. One, it could mean that this energy will forcibly take them in the next step in human evolution and become heightened in strength, speed, reflexes, durability, and mental state...pretty much meaning we'd become, in more than one sense of the word, perfect. Or they would gain a lot more years to live as a result of the life energy being bonded to the many souls of the planet which we constantly feed off of anyway. Look at me, making all these assumptions and I'm not even a scientist but it's still fun to speculate. Speaking of which, with all the military personnel standing so close to the energy, how come none of them have experienced any changes. Standing this close, especially so close to Ground Zero I would think that they'd at least feel something...maybe the shockwaves aren't really giving off as much power as I thought. Good, let's just hope that they aren't thinking about trying to go through the rift itself. Well, it's time I woke up Dash and we're started moving. After I parked the car far away from the location, I shook her awake and immediately as if on cue she shot into the air and put up a ready stance like she was ready to fight. God, you don't know how hard I wanted to laugh but now wasn't the time. I told her to come down and I pointed to the rift, she immediately flew down to me then grabbed my hand then started dragging me. Didn't tell her to stop, I started running toward the encampment made by the military. Dash and I hid behind some rocks, she looked at me and asked me just how was I going to get past them. That was a good question. I mean, this is the military we're talking about here. Not some police force or SWAT team, these were highly trained soldiers we were going to have to outwit here. Yep, that's not going to happen and it'd be completely lucky if we did. Since I honestly had no way of getting around them, might as well try to go through them though I wouldn't get far as Dash would. Hey, I told her that I could be the distraction and she could get in the cave. She flat out told me that it wasn't going to happen and she'd instantly come back and tried to save me if I got caught. Well, that nixes that plan but we had to come up with something fast because that rift wouldn't stay open for long and I doubt that Dash would like to stay here for the rest of her young life...uh, just how old is she anyway? After taking a short second to think about it, she said why don't she just make a tornado around the camp just to shake things up a bit. Now, I had to think why haven't I thought of that seeing that she can break the sound barrier. I told her to do that and as everyone is worrying about the tornado, I can probably sneak my way in. Will write more later.
