Element of War

There was talking, but it sounded very faded out. Nandi tried to lift her hoof, but it felt so heavy to her. She decided to keep it in place. She felt as if she was on something soft. Like a bed. But she couldn't be at Applejack's barn...

"I don't think she'll be waking up anytime soon. It would be better if she stayed here."

Twilight..? Nandi thought.

"All right... But keep her safe ya hear?"

That must be Applejack..! She opened both of her eyes. She realized she could see out of her right eye. She could see out of her left eye too. Her right eye still hurt from the incident earlier. Surprised that she could see out her right eye, all of the feeling came back into her body. She twitched and rolled over 'til her left hoof was hanging off of the bed. She grunted and jumped off of the bed. She may have had the feeling back in her body, but she still felt very weak. When her hooves hit the floor, her body crashed to the floor. Next her face hit the floor, then the rest of her lower body.

The two ponies that were speaking with each other heard the thump in the other room. "Nandi!" Twilight and Applejack said at the same time. They peeked their heads into the room to see the brown pony lying on the ground. Applejack ran to her. She helped Star back onto her hooves. "Nandi, I know ya just woke up and all but-" "APPLEJACK! I can see from my right eye again! What happened?!" Applejack looks at Twilight sheepishly and Twilight had the same look. Nandi was breathing very heavily while she was staring at Applejack. "Ah'll explain it to ya, but please get back in the bed." Nandi looked down and realized she was sitting. She could barely move herself except her wings. She began to flap her wings and she elevated off of the ground. She flew over to the bed she was at before. She rested herself on it, but she was sitting up. "Now. Care to explain how I got here, and why I can see out of my right eye?" Star looked at Twilight, expecting her to have all the answers.

Twilight trotted over to the bed and placed one hoof on the bed. "Well Applejack told me that you were attacked... By a changeling. So that means that Queen Chrysalis is back, and now her target is Ponyville. Maybe she wants to destroy us so she can attack Canterlot and rule over all of Equestria! This will not do! I have to tell Princess-!" Twilight gasped and turned around. Nandi cocked her head to the side. Her black dreadlocks brushed against her face as it fell. "Can you continue, Twilight?" Nandi said. Twilight blushed. She nodded. "Right. Applejack said you were attacked by a changeling. She said you fought it off, but it was nowhere to be seen after your attack, Nandi. When you fainted, Applejack brought you here."

"Damn it! It's still out there!" Nandi said, flinging her front hooves behind her. She then raised her right hoof and raised it towards her right eye. "NANDI NO!" Twilight yelled. Applejack jumps from being startled. Nandi closed her right eye and touched it. A strange burning sensation went through her eye when she touched it. "ARRRGHHHH!!!!!" Nandi shrieked, and started crying. The burning went away, and Star started moaning. Twilight walked over to the bed. "Are you okay?" Twilight asked. "Heh... It's okay. I think I can go back with Applejack to the orchard. Applejack snorted. "Are ya sure sugarcube?" "Yes! I am fine! I can come back!!!!" Nandi said abruptly. "Okay, okay. Fine." Nandi smiled. She started to flap her wings. She got out of the bed and flew out of the library. She was outside and yelled, "WOOHOO!!!!" Applejack laughed and smiled. She looked at Twilight only to find that she wasn't smiling. Twilight went downstairs and started browsing through her books.

Before Nandi Star took towards Sweet Apple Acres again, she caught a glimpse of the weary Twilight Sparkle. Many feet away from her window, Twilight slowly rearranged in her books, in no specific order. Afterwards, Nandi flapped her wings so she could get to Sweet Apple Acres before Applejack did. She got there only a minute before she did, and they went back into the orchard. The baskets were set from last time, and they began to pick apples. Nandi just flew threw the trees, trying not to touch her right eye. The apples fell off the trees and into nearby baskets. Applejack applebucked the trees as always. "Hey, sugarcube. Why do you think that changeling was after you?" Applejack asked, leaning against a tree, with a few golden deliciouses. Star shrugged her front two shoulders. "How did ya become an alicorn anyway?" Applejack said. Star sighed. "Well, I was born a unicorn... From a pegasi family. We had to move from Cloudsdale to Ponyville. In the mean time, I studied and studied for years, trying to find a way to become a pegasi. I tested. And tested. And tested. It was no use. But one day, when you got your cutie mark, Dash's sonic rainboom came in. I was testing one last time. Then, BOOM! It worked. Kind of. My spell kinda failed. I still had my horn, and normal pegasi wings. You get it?" Applejack nodded. She looked up and around.

"Hey we're done! Most of the trees have been picked clean." Applejack said.
