When Aurora opened her eyes again, she found herself in the midst of a vast universe.
"What the hell, where did you bring me? Is this still Equestria?"
Aurora scratched her head in confusion, and immediately after, she realized she was in her human form, standing on her two feet for the first time in a long while. If there was a ground here, that is.
She recalled the sequence of events.
She had first read a magic book, and when she finished reading, the magic suddenly activated, and then she was brought to this place that looked a bit like a Path Gap.
"Could it be that I'm about to be gazed upon by an Aeon? Is it finally my turn to become a Pathstrider?! Which Aeon will appraise me?! I hope it's the big mechanical head!"
Aurora was excited for a moment, but quickly calmed down.
"By the way, can this universe be observed by an Aeon? Or is the world of my little pony also in the Star Rail universe? And why would reading a book get me gazed upon by an Aeon? Could the person who wrote it be a Genius or an Emanator?"
If the person who wrote the book was a Genius, then it wouldn't be strange for the content to be so abstract.
No, how can this be called abstract? This is the wisdom of a genius; it's just that I, as a mediocre person, cannot see through it.
And to think Equestria actually hides a big shot who knows about Aeons and understands the Paths?!
Could this person be a transmigrator like me? Is there actually more than one transmigrator in this world? Is this person also a pony? Does Celestia know about this?
Questions popped up in her mind one after another, but Aurora couldn't find any clues to verify them.
It felt very abrupt from the moment she discovered the book; before this, she had always thought that only she would study this knowledge that didn't belong to this world.
Now, without warning, another suspected transmigrator senior has appeared, and their methods are even more advanced than her own. She didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing.
However, since this person brought her to the Path Gap, the probability of them being an enemy should be relatively small.
Aurora organized her chaotic thoughts and prepared to move in the direction of the light.
Just as she took a step, she fell off the bed.
Lying on the floor with her limbs splayed, Aurora looked at the somewhat familiar ceiling with dazed eyes, unable to snap out of it for a long time.
This was the bedroom on the second floor of her cottage; because she didn't use it often, she almost didn't recognize the layout.
'Wait... where is my Aeon? Where is my Path? How did it throw me back before the cool cutscene even started playing??!'
Raising her hoof to cover her eyes, Aurora could not accept the fact that such a realistic scene was actually just a dream.
"Flying Light?! Are you awake?! How are you feeling now?"
The sound of Aurora falling off the bed attracted the pony who was accompanying her outside; Sunset Shimmer rushed over upon hearing the noise, and seeing Aurora lying on the floor covering her face, she thought something else had happened to her.
"I'm fine... I just can't really tell which side is reality..."
"Of course this side is reality!"
After confirming that Aurora had only fallen off the bed and had no other serious issues, Sunset Shimmer used magic to put her back on the bed from the floor, while explaining what had happened after she suddenly fainted.
"You've been asleep for a whole day."
"Has it been that long? I thought at most half an hour had passed..."
Aurora was a bit surprised that time had passed so quickly; she seemed to still be a bit sleepy and her vision was a bit blurry, so she had to rub her eyes.
