Equestria: New Arrivals

It all started on that day, the day before Nightmare Night.

That day is my earliest memory.

I slowly wake up within a room on a bed under some covers with a symbol of a crescent on them. I hear a conversation  going on and listen.

"Yes I know, but he still maybe asleep your majesty"

"And that's far too long now! It has been four days!"

"Fine, if he's awake you attend to his needs. If he is asleep just leave him be"

"Thank you".

I hear a door opening and turn my head to see who it was.

To my surprise it was a horse wearing a golden crown with a purple gem and what seemed to be a golden chest plate, it had a white coat with a long mane and tail with many different colors that seemed to move by itself, it had a rather long horn and large wings, it also had calm indigo eyes.

When it came in it automatically looked over at me and said "Oh good, you're finally awake."

I freaked out when it spoke and fell off the bed with the covers flying, I hit my head. I got up, rubbing where I hit my head.

The horse then said "Oh dear, are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm ok" I replied.

The horse then said "Well that's good. Where do you happen to live?".

I blinked at the question saying "I'm not sure..."

The horse then said with suspicion "You don't know where you live?" it looked at me dead on.

"No...I don't even know where I am right now!" I said.

The horse continued to look at me, it then said "You're in Canterlot, within my palace.".

I looked at the horse and said "Canterlot? I don't think I've even heard of this place.".

The horse then said "Do you happen to know who I am?".

"No...who are you?" I asked.

The horse then said "I'm Princess Celestia, I rule Equestria along side my sister, Princess Luna. You really haven't heard of me?".

I then said "No...I don't even know Equestria."

Princess Celestia blinked and said "How strange, you don't know about Luna or I nor do you know about Equestria. You may have amnesia little pony.".

"Whoawhoawhoa, wait....I'm a pony?" I said very surprised, I looked at myself in a mirror nearby and my jaw dropped. It was true, I was a pony, one with a horn and wings like Princess Celestia, I had a grey coat and my mane and tail were both long and BRIGHT red.

Princess Celestia then asked "You didn't even know you were a pony? Do you happen to know your name?"

"...Yes, actually I do. My name is Avery" I said with slight relief.

Princess Celestia then looked at me with suspicion and said "You know your name, yet you don't even know about Equestria? What do you remember?".

I thought about this and then said "I remember falling through the sky... it was night time. There was a huge forest I was going to, but then I think I blacked out before I got to the forest."

Princess Celestia then said "That forest is called the Everfree Forest, it is very dangerous to be in because of how many vicious creatures there are".

I looked at her and then said "How did I end up here and not in the forest?".

Princess Celestia then says "While you fell through the sky my sister saw you land in the Everfree, Luckily you were very close to the entrance. My sister got you and took you to Twilight's house for the night."

"Twilight? Who's that?" I asked curiously.

Princess Celestia then said "She's my faithful student. She asked if I could bring you back to Ponyville once you recovered."

I then said "I would like to meet her."

Then Princess Celestia said "Then we shall leave at once for the day is still bright" she turns around and walks through the door and says "Come along Avery".

I followed her, tripping multiple times trying to catch up to her.

She turned around and says "You ok Avery? You seem to be lagging behind.".

I then said "It's hard to walk!" after saying that I trip and land on my face. I cover my face with my hooves.

Princess Celestia then walked over to me and said "Just take one step at a time then, I will wait."

I then got up a paced myself as I walked, I soon was able to walk a normal speed. We soon came across a pony with a dark blue coat, with a horn and wings, it was wearing a black crown and a black chest plate with a white crescent on it, its mane and tail seemed to be made of stars and moved by itself like Princess Celestia's, and it had beautiful teal eyes.

She came over to us and said "Ah, it seems that you have awoken from your slumber little one".

I just blinked, I didn't know what to say to her.

Princess Celestia then said "Yes he has, he also seems to have a strange case of amnesia, he knows his name yet he didn't even know about Equestria".

The dark blue pony then said "How odd... Well what might your name be?"

I looked at her, my heart was beating very fast. I then said "M-My name is Avery madam" I bowed my head a little to her.

She then replied "And my name is Luna, you may call me either 'Princess Luna' or just 'Luna'".

I just nodded my head.

Princess Luna then says "Well Sister, where are you two going?"

Princess Celestia said "We're going to Twilight's, she wanted him to come back after he recovered."

Princess Luna then said "Ah, well you best be careful while on the way, I heard that some of the clouds have been shooting off lightning bolts."

Princess Celestia then said "That's good to know. Well we best be on our way."

Princess Luna says "Alright, I hope you have a safe trip." she turns to me and says with a smile "I'll talk to you later Avery."

She turned and walked in the other direction, I just stared at her while she left.

Princess Celestia then said "Come now Avery, we'll be leaving shortly."

I turned around quickly and said "R-Right".

We walked to a chariot, connected to two white ponies with wings covered in golden armor. Princess Celestia got onto the chariot and waved me over. I got onto the chariot and stood by Princess Celestia.

Princess Celestia the says to the two white ponies "Alright, head to Ponyville."

The two ponies nodded and opened their wings and flew off with us in the chariot.

I then remembered something I was going to ask and said "Um, Princess Celestia what are the symbols on the ponies legs?".

Princess Celestia then said "You mean the Cutie Mark? It symbolizes the talent each pony has. My Cutie Mark is the sun, because I raise and lower the sun to make day. Luna's is the moon, because she raises and lowers the moon to bring the night."

I looked to where my Cutie Mark should be, but I didn't see anything. Suddenly something hit the chariot and it shook. I looked at the side of the chariot to see that it was burnt. Then I fell off the chariot because another thing hit the chariot on the other side. I heard Princess Celestia yell at me to do something but it was hard to hear her. I fell and fell until I landed in the Everfree Forest on my back. I slowly got up and looked around, it was very dark but I could see, barely. I did see a bag laying close to a tree nearby.

I walked over until I tripped on something, I looked to see what it was and saw multiple things barely sticking out of the ground. I got up and started to dig with my hooves. I dug until I hit something and got shocked, I backed up and looked at the spot. I then started to look around to find anything to dig with, I found a flat stone and started to dig with that. I heard a clang when I hit something, I dug around it to see that it was three objects. Two sword hilts and a white gem that was in the shape of a heart. I picked up the white gem and brought it over to the bag, then I went back to pick up the sword hilts but when I touched them they shocked me. I then used the flat stone to pick up the sword hilts and put them in the bag. When the hilt were in the bag I saw that the rock had changed color, no longer a greyish rock, it was in the pattern of a rainbow. I put the rock down and looked at the bag, it too had changed color. I picked up the white gem and looked at it for a bit, I thought it was odd that it was in the shape of a heart. I put it in the bag and grabbed the bag with my mouth and put it over my neck.

I then heard the sound of wings flapping and looked to where I fell. I saw a light blue pony with wings, it had a rainbow colored mane and tail. It hovered over the spot seemed to be in thought.

I then yelled "Hey!"

The pony then looked around quickly and then looked down to where I was and flew down.

"Aha! I finally found you! You're Avery, right?" the pony said.

I replied "Yes, I am Avery".

The pony then says "My names Rainbow Dash! The best pony in Equestria! Well, come on! Lets get out of here!" she then flew back up.

I just looked at the sky for a second then saw that she came back saying "What are you waiting for? Lets Go!".

I then say "I don't know how to fly! How can I follow you when I can't fly?"

Rainbow then looked at me with suspicion and flew back down to me and said "You don't know how to fly? Do you think I'm an Idiot?! You have wings don't you? Now use them to fly!".

I then said "I'm telling you, I don't know how to fly.".

Rainbow then facehoofed saying "ugh, fine I'll come with you through the Everfree.".

I then say "Well you'll have to lead the way, cause I don't know squat about this forest.".

Rainbow then said "Ok, then follow me!" she went and trotted forward and I followed behind.

Soon we were out of the Everfree and near what seems like a cottage.

Rainbow says "That's Fluttershy's Cottage, you'll get to meet her soon enough" she continued to walk forward past the cottage and I continued to follow her.

We soon came to a giant tree with windows and other stuff on it.

Rainbow then says "This is the library and where Twilight lives. Princess Celestia is inside waiting on you".

I looked at Rainbow then at the library and walked to it.

Then Rainbow just zoomed past me and opened the door and said "Hey! Look who I found!".

I just got to the doorstep and then Princess Celestia said "Oh thank goodness! I thought we lost you in the forest!".

I then say "Well Rainbow was around the area I fell in".

Then Rainbow says "Yeah, I told him to come with me but he just stood there. He says he can't fly!".

Princess Celestia looked at me and asks "Is that true?".

I then answered "Yeah, I can't fly".

Princess Celestia then says "Oh dear....not only do you not know much about Equestria but you also can't fly? Do you know how to use magic?".

I then say "I don't think so....I didn't think that I could".

Rainbow then said "Are you serious right now?".

Then another voice said "Rainbow, that's enough".

I looked around to see who said that, I saw a lavender pony with a horn, her mane and tail was purple with pink stripes in it and was cut evenly, her Cutie Mark was a pink star with multiple stars around it, I remembered that Rainbow's was a Cloud with a colorful lightning bolt on it.

The Lavender pony continued to speak "Even though he may not know how to fly or use magic doesn't mean anything, he could have forgotten about that when he landed in the Everfree.".

Princess Celestia then says  "Oh, this is Twilight, Avery. And Twilight I hope you don't mind Avery staying here for a while do you? I want him to learn about Equestria and have you and Rainbow teach him on how to fly and use magic.".

Twilight then said "Well I do have a spare bed that he can use, he did sleep in it when Princess Luna brought him here. And I'd be more than happy to teach him the ways of magic!".

Rainbow says "I'll teach him, only if he's ready to take flying to a serious level!".

Princess Celestia then said "That's good to know, I'll go back to the palace. It's getting late now. Avery, Listen to Twilight and be on your best behavior.".

I blinked at her and say "Uh....ok".

Princess Celestia left and Twilight says to me "I'll go get your bed ready" she went up the stairs.

Rainbow then says "Yeah I'll catch ya tomorrow. You've got a lot of things to do tomorrow!" Rainbow then left.

Twilight came back downstairs saying "Hey, where did Rainbow go?".

I replied "She left, saying that I have a lot of things to do tomorrow.".

Twilight then said "Well that is true, your going to have lessons on magic with me and flying with Rainbow, we'll show you Ponyville after that! Now come on, it's time for bed".

I looked out a window and saw the moon, full and bright. I smiled a little and went upstairs to Twilight.

When I got to the top I saw a basket with something inside.

I asked "Is someone sleeping right there?".

Twilight then said "Oh yeah, that's just Spike. You'll see him tomorrow morning, but right now it's time for bed." Twilight went over to the other side of the room and got into a bed, seemingly her bed.

I went over to the other bed and placed my bag down on the side table and got into bed.

"Goodnight Avery" Twilight said.

I then said quietly "Goodnight".

I looked out a window to see the moon once more. I then closed my eyes and fell asleep.

In my dream I could hear something talking.

It said this "heh heh heh... everything is going smoothly, just a few more days and I'll be able to show every villain that I'm the TRUE Nightmare!"
