Author's Note

Also because i forgot to do this last chapter "i don't own anything except for my OC".

Where? How? Who?

Where? How? Who?

Pain... so much that it overwhelms the senses and blots out all else. their was no end and no release. I wondered if this is what it was like to die. With nothing else to do I let the pain take over and let the darkness take me.

Once again I came awake to the feeling of pain, although not as intense as it once was. I could feel something going on around me. It felt like the ground was slowly covering me up, that or I was merging with the ground. Once again it became to much and I graceful left the world of conciseness.

The next time a awoke it was to be for good as the pain had mostly left me, save for a few... scratches, that and everything was sore! it felt like had just run three tri-athlons back to back, but it was bearable.

Well first things first was to get off the ground and find out exactly were I was. Still feeling a little shaky from whatever had happened to me i tried to stand up, only for my face to once again meet with the ground as my lower body got tangled together in a mess of... hooves?

Was that right? Did I always have hooves? As a matter of fact how did I end up on the ground unconscious in the first place? Actually what was I doing before I ended up unconscious in this forest anyway? When I try to remember all i get if colorful flashes and a massive head ache for my troubles.

Fighting down the raising panic I calmed myself and ran things through my head. My new agenda was to just lie here and figure out how my body actually works and see if i can actually remember anything at all of how i got here, where here even was, and finally... who am i exactly?

Meanwhile in Canterlot...

.

We find one lavender unicorn staring slack-jawed at the massive explosion that had detonated right above the creepy Everfree Forrest. One second their was peaceful blue sky and then, with no warning or reason, a huge sphere of darkness appeared and detonated with the sound of the explosion being powerful enough to actually reach the castle. Even more amazing was the fact that nothing seemed to be damaged or on fire or anything at all. In fact if you had been staring anywhere else then the exact spot the explosion took place you would have missed it and wondered what exactly the sound was.

Another strange thing that caught her attention was that while the explosion could possibly have been created by another unicorn practicing some kind of magic, she felt no residual traces of magic from the explosion. It could have been that the magic was to far away for her to feel the residual effects, but with something that large and that loud their should have been some kind of magical feedback.

With all these thoughts running through her mind, she knew one thing for certain and that was that the princess needed to be informed of this if she hadn't already been. Although given how fast the whole event had happened a firsthand account of what she saw and felt... or not felt, would probably do wonders in helping everypony figure out what exactly the strange explosion was. With her goal and destination in mind she rushed out of her room as fast as her four hooves could carry her to find the princess and inform her of what had happened.

Back in the Everfree...

So with the time it took to calm myself down and try to puzzle out what was going on i had come to realize a couple of core truths about the entire situation. The first core truth was that I was some kind of equine creature, based on the small size I would hazard a guess at pony. the second core truth was that any knowledge of what I was doing before going unconscious was currently out of my grasp. The third core truth was that i had no idea where i was, what my name was and... Growl, I was hungry.

Another fact that I wasn't entirely sure about, but was going to assume it was right was that I owned a sword. After I had calmed down a little and focused on what was going on around me I noticed a pitch black sword in a scabbard lying right next to me. I figured it was close enough to me and that no one else had taken it that it must have been mine.

Growl...

As if to remind me of its wants my stomach sent a particular loud growl to me telling me to find some food. which brought me to another thing that was bothering me, "what do I eat"! Looking around as if the answer would fall from the heaven at my feet all i saw were trees and grass of the forest. looking at it logically i was some kind of horse or pony and to the best of my knowledge they did eat grass and flowers and stuff like that.

Growl...

I was begging to wonder if I would survive using my sword to stab my stomach to show it who was boss around here.

Growl...

Then my logical side kicked in and I had to shake my head at my stupidity. You don't survive getting stabbed in the stomach without immediate medical attention.

Growl!!!

Figuring I should appease my angry organ I slowly walked over to some of the grass at the base of a tree. Hoping that i was right and nothing was wrong with the grass I reached my mouth down and comped up a few bites to see how it tasted. Low and behold it didn't taste horrible, kind of a little bland though but it filled my stomach so I ate my fill until i felt content.

With my stomach content and satisfied I slumped to the ground against the tree. Despite trying to remain positive, the truth was I was in some kind of trouble and a little scared at the fact that I couldn't remember anything about who I was before I came too. Another thing that dawned on me now that my stomach wasn't the main point of my focus was how sore and tired I was. Figuring that were I was was as good as any place around me I made myself more comfortable. Right before I could start to let sleep claim me I made sure my sword was by my side. If this sword was mine, I wanted to keep a hold of the one thing that must have been mine before I woke up in this clearing. With everything being new to me and not having anything at all, it was nice to have something to call mine.
