Prompt:
(Drawing of the curly as a centaur)
This curly came from a fantastical land originally a centaur who had anything you could imagine. As a pretty known scholar and researcher he looked through every book in the largest of libraries and in the smallest of hidden bookshops. Theo had always been a man for journaling writing an entry for everyday of his life whether for his diary or for his book of findings though as pompous as he seems…there’s still many things he needs to learn in terms of projecting himself towards others
One day after his usual bickering and rage for answers after trying to get some from an acorn theif, he was sent by the king for a request
“Why you are a gifted young man in intelligence…I see that you aren’t the most kind person to be around seeing the interaction from yesterday.”
“A-Ugh fine-that happened it wasn’t my usual self bu-“
“You’ve always done this. Always short circuit when no one presents you a defined answer to your curiosity”
“Ah-alright I suppose that’s true b-“
“SILENCE”
“O-okay..”
He feebly says and looks up seeing what fate he might get nervously
“I have a task for you. One no one has ever done.”
Theo nods intently listening to this request
“There’s another world out there that my dearest scientists have found and fortunately made a temporary portal to. I ask that you go in there and find any aspects of this place.”
Theo's eyes widen
“Oh..of-“
“Downside is that you will be perhaps living in that other world permanently.”
“WHAT?!?!?”
“Now carry on. You have 2 hours to pack.”
“I-“
Theo goes back to his home and grabs his usual bags and a couple more just in case for this abrupt mission and starts packing his essentials, notebooks, lots of papers, pens, inkwells, and all the journal essentials. He also packs his favorite beautifully antique looking camera safe along with as much film as he could take with him. He then looks to a cigar box, one where he put all of his treasured pieces inside and looks through them. Many were small trinkets and jewelry acquired by his closest peoples but one struck his heart the most. It was a pocket watch with intricate swirls and flowers designed on the front and back. the front showed a large gladiolus on the bottom and a rabbit jumping on the top with detailed swirls in the background while the watch itself hung by a simple bright silver chain.
He takes a deep breath holding the pocket watch tight remembering all the good times he had with his father wandering around the forests and collecting broken trinkets and herbs for research and giving life to junk hidden in the dirt and puts the watch inside the cigar box and carefully puts it Inside his satchel for safe keeping.
After the 2 hours were up he puts on his travel packs on the sides of his horse body and satchel over his left arm while getting his composure settled until a sudden large knock appeared making him jolt
“Sir! Your 2 hours is up!”
A guard said
“Oh yes! I’m coming!”
Theo says and opens the door getting ready of what’s to come
After a while he finally appears to a strange portal which was like a swirling vortex unsure what was on the other side of it
The king arrives
“Now…I know this is very risky to send someone in there without any research but…it is our best option whether or not you’ll be able to come back..”
Theo's eyes widen
“T-then how will I contact you?! What about the research?!?”
He says with worry
The king sighs
“You will be gifted with a necklace. One imbued with concentrated magic from our world. You will be able to send us information using this whenever you’d like and worst comes to worse. You will be able to use it like a normal amulet where you can use the magic inside to guide you alright??”
A servant comes to the scholar holding a pillow and a simple necklace with a small circular jewel in the center
Theo looks at it and slowly nods
“O-okay sir..thank you very much..”
He says as the servant proceeds to put on the necklace for him
The king pats the scholars shoulder
“Be safe boy..”
He says as he steps back from the portal
Theo nods and takes a deep breath before taking his first few steps into the portal in seconds he was out to the other side.
———————————----------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Theo walks in the portal the light was blinding him from the sight making him close his eyes as he travels through but once the light stopped he opens his eyes..
“Huh??”
He looks around seeing lush green grass and a bright blue sky with fluffy clouds making his eyes brighten and amazed as he was starting to open his satchel he looks down and his eyes of excitement turn into eyes of panic
“WHAT?!?!?”
He neighs loudly in a panic
Hearing his voice was lowered down to a deep neigh and the fact he wasn’t able to annunciate words frightened him looking around in a panic with no arms but mere hooves pacing around
“Oh god oh god what happened to me?!?!”
Theo thinks as he goes to where the portal originally was but it was gone
“…WHAT!?? WHERES THE PORTAL?!?!?”
He says panicking out of his mind looking around the area the portal was
As Theo was panicking and mousing neighing a passerby who was a human gets worried hearing the sound
“Huh?? When in the world would a horse be here?? Did Theodore escape again??”
They say as they follow to the sounds of loud neighing and spot the scholar panicking in his horse like state
“Oh no!! Are you ok bud???”
The human says walking towards the scholar
Theo stops quickly turning around and is spooked and confused seeing the human
“W-who are you!?!,! D-did you do this to me?!??”
He says wanting answers
The human steps back from the scholars response
“O-oh I’m so sorry!! I didn’t mean to scare you..”
They say as they walk back towards the scholar and rubs his forehead
“I’m not sure where you originally came from but you seemed really scared..”
They say softly
Theo ears point back nodding
“Yes….I don’t even know what’s happening right now…”
he mumble as he leans into the rubs
The human nods along acting like they understand the scholar
“Ok…well let’s get you to my barn. I’m sure you’d like somehwere to stay and if we can’t find your owner you can stay with us!”
They smile
Theo nods along and pauses
“…wait owner??…OWNER?!?!?”
He thinks with wide eyes
The human is confused but nods
“Yeah! Let’s get you to my place!! I’m sure my three horse would love to meet you!!”
They say as they lead the scholar along with lots of pats seeing that using a lead would terrify the horse a lot
“W-WHAT??!?! WHAT DO YOU MENA OWNER?!?! I AM NOT SOMETHING TO BE OWNED ABOUT!!”
Theo says furious and neighs to the human but the human wasn’t sure how to respond and tries to calm the scholar down as they go to their barn.
