War with a Changeling Part 1: The Beginning

Equestria at war

Days (since war was declared): 108

Current location: Outskirts of ponyville

Race: changeling

Current situation: damaged wing preventing him from flying gives unicorns that have given chase advantage, has only just arrived in equestria to investigate rumors of war, on arrival was attacked by unicorn patrol result of attack was a spear cutting his rib cage making it hard for his wings to spread, resulting in ground chase headed in random direction.

Back story: Core wasn't a normal changeling, took part in the canterlot invasion, but instead of terrorizing the population he chose to avoid conflict, Core was fascinated with pony's, he wanted to learn more about them, about how they could have so much love and peace when changelings are always going to war, he thought that with the help of pony's, changelings could learn how to make their own love without the conflict. The love-splosion blast seriously wounded him considering he was up against a wall at the time, his escape involved allot of what he hated most, deceit, funny a changeling who doesn't like to deceive other's.

Anyway back to running for his...

The changeling jumped over logs, rocks and fire, anything to get away from what he saw behind him, 3 unicorns and a strangely large one were using a fireball spell launching every thing they had at the dark figure in front of them, it was night time so it was hard to see him until a fireball or two passed him.

The changeling was starting to sweat and was panicking at the thought of catching fire, he only just arrived and was going to try and be civil to both investigate the war and get his dream of ACTUALLY meeting a pony, but instead he got the opposite, on sight he was attacked and ended up with a bleeding hip.

Eventually he caught sight of somewhere to hide, he was far enough ahead to hide in a large bush.

He made a dive for the bush getting caught on the leafs, also trying to be as silent as possible to prevent them from realizing he's in a bush. Once he was in a comfortable well hidden position he stopped dead still.

As the sound of the unicorns galloping past started to ease away he began to take deep breaths to fill his lungs, then he put his ear to the ground to check how far away they were, he could tell they were almost half a mile away, (they were galloping very fast). He pocked his head out slowly just to be sure there was nopony nearby, when he was 110% sure he walked out towards a nearby ruined house to stop and think about what was going on.

When he was inside he laid down and started to think about what just happened. Maybe they still have a thing against changelings, then again it would have to be something big to want to kill him, then it hit him, he remembered the rumors of war in equestria, this made him put his face down into his hooves.

You see Core DEFINITELY was not a normal changeling, he had no 'holes' in him, even chrysalis didn't know why that was, he was the only known changeling to actually want to be like a pony, the only one who wanted to know peace, the only one who wanted to know friendship, the one who wanted to learn how to fall in love.

He didn't want to believe it but Equestria was no longer the place he wanted to know about, he knew now that equestria is at war. He didn't know what to do, he was stranded somewhere he was completely foreign to, and to top it all of there was a war going on in the very same country.

How was he supposed to survive, by eating scrap? Not this changeling, just because he's different doesn't mean he doesn't know how to survive. Then suddenly, an news paper floated into the ruined structure, it looked fresh, Core stared at the article, EQD it said in big bold letters at the top, TURN PAGE FOR WAR UPDATES, Core new if he was going to survive he was going to need to know what was going on.

He turned the page...
