The Adventures of Frost Winter
Chapter 1 - The Awakening (Edited)
Previous ChapterNext ChapterJosh was awoken from his peaceful dreaming by birds tweeting, not to far from him. His bed felt a little different for some reason. Trying to brush it off and to get back to sleep, he got in a more comfortable position, which for some reason was on his stomach, he would question why later, but dream land was just too inviting for him to think clearly. It was then he felt something prod at his side, he waved sleepily and moaned for it to go away, he tried to go back to sleep only for another prod followed by another, groaning josh mumbled "Go away, i'm tired" only to receive another prod. Finally annoyed enough to see who it was and how they got in his room, he opened his eyes and tried to give whoever had woken him the look of “go away or feel my wrath”, but to his surprise he heard a small giggle.
"Sorry mister, I was just seeing if you're okay, and wanted to know why you were sleeping in a field" a female voice said.
"Yes i'm fine, but what do you mean field and how did you get into my room and for that matter my house."
"Did somepony get drunk last night and fell asleep here?" She said in a mocking tone. "And I assure you we are not in your house."
Josh laughed and rubs his eyes. "Look lady just get......." It was then the sleeping effect wore off, and Josh had noticed where he was. He was in a field more like a meadow of yellow flowers. "What the... how did i get here?"
"Oh my you must have been really drunk, but don't worry i know what will help, here" she said placing a muffin in front of Josh's face.
Josh was surpassed by this and finally looked up to see a horse? The horse was kind of small to be a horse, so maybe a pony? Anyway she, Josh assumed it was a she by the way it looked, she has a grey coat and blonde mane and yellow eyes.
"Thanks who ever you are and where ever you are for that matter..." he said looking around for someone.
He saw the pony giggle "Well your welcome mister but I'm right here" she says in a happy tone.
Josh looked towards the horse "Where because I can't see anyone?" he said with a bit of anger in his voice.
"Oh my gosh, you are not blind are you? Oh i'm so sorry if you are!" The pony said with a frown on her face.
"But...but...how....WHAT!!!" Josh screamed "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON! SINCE WHEN COULD HORSE'S TALK AND HAVE MUFFINS!"
The horse laughed "Well I see somepony has a sense of humour, and just so you know, some ponies would take offence to you calling them horse's mister, anyway I've got to go, hope i see you again, bye" she said while waving and FLYING!? Off in a direction to a town. "WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!" josh screamed at top of his lungs, the people in that town probably heard him.
"Okay.. Please tell me that I'm seeing illuminations and in a mental hospital having a breaking down" It when then josh looked at his body, or should i say new body. Josh let a very loud scream, to say he was freaking out would be an understatement. He need a bag soon, he was hyperventilating and if he didn't calm down soon he would faint, he looked around frantically he saw the world around him going dark until he fell to the ground with a loud and audible THUMP!
Josh woke up a few hours later, in the same field from before. Getting up slowly, trying to stand on his legs or rather hind legs, he wobbled a lot and fell down not too soon later. Opening his eyes and focusing on his hand or rather hoof, he stared at it for minutes if not a hour, until it started to sink in. "Why me?" he asks no one in particular, putting his hooves to his head, he started to cry quietly.
After around 30 minutes Josh calmed down and started to compose himself. "Okay josh, pull yourself together, there no point in panicking now. You need to find some help and get somewhere to sleep." He was trying to pep talk himself but it wasn't working, sighing he got up and stood on all fours. "This is more difficult than it looks... okay one foot in front of the other, or is it hoof.. What ever...lets do this!" Josh tried to walk, unfortunately he felt like Bambi trying to walk for the first time. He kept at it till the sun was about to set in the sky. Panting from exhaustion josh sat down to catch his breath, it was then that he decided to take a proper look at himself. He had a silver coat and white tail with two stripes of blue going through it, and he had silver wings. "WINGS?! I HAVE WINGS! OHH... MY.....GOD!" It bothered him that he didn't notice it before. ‘this is so weird’ he thought to himself. Its hard to explain how it feels like having wings, its like explain what its like having fingers to these ponies, you just don’t know who to explain it, you have nothing to compare it to. Anyway its like having another set of arms but you move them up and down with a muscle thats in your back. Its starts to get dark, so josh puts away the wings file for later.
"Hmm maybe someone or somepony in that town over their can help me" josh said to himself, and with that he headed towards the town. Walking down the dirt road John saw a sign just a head of him with writing on it. Getting closer to the sign, you see the so called writing and its in a language you never seen before. "Great that means they probably speak a different language, this is going to go down well. Erm hello, me speak no you, me from other world, me no harm you" he said with sarcasm. But then the writing starts to change before his eyes, into.... english. ‘Okay that just creepy right there’ he thought, ignoring the fact that it just changed and that he was seeing weird things today, he read the sign. “Welcome To Ponyville! Population 175.”
Walking into the town, the first thing Josh noticed was that the ponies here are probably half the size he is, and hasn't seen a male yet. ‘maybe they only have one gender here that or all the males are doing something. And why are they that small or is it because males are just bigger than females’ Josh thought to himself. It was then that he noticed that the ponies were giving him weird looks and staring at him, stopping whatever they were doing in the process.
Josh never liked people or rather now ponies staring at him, it just made him feel uncomfortable. Josh then heard something he wasn't expecting, a female voice humming a tune, locating the sound he traces it to a pink, a very pink pony bouncing up and down. She kept coming towards him, until she bounces right onto his face. Landing on her haunches, she rubs her head and looks up to what to see what she had bumped into. Josh was smiling sheepishly "Erm hello..." he didn't have time to finish as she jumped into the air staying there for few seconds, somehow with pure shock of her face and gasping audibly and then she disappeared leaving a pink cloud of dust where she once was. To say josh was confused was an understatement. "Was it something i said?" He said out loud to no one in particular.
"No, she is just like that when she meets somepony new. So don't take it to heart, and trust me you'll understand why soon." A new voice said behind Josh, turning around he saw a purple pony, with violet eyes, wings and a horn. ‘Great what do i call her a pegacorn’ Josh thought to himself sarcastically. "Hello i haven’t seen you before your highness, i'm Princess Twilight Sparkle, but you can just call me Twilight, and that pony you saw was Pinkie Pie."
"Erm hello twilight was it?" she nodded "Ok hello twilight.....Wait did you say you were a princess?" She nodded again, Josh quickly bowed "Im sorry I didn't know, please forgive me!" He said with panic in his voice. What happened next surprised him.
He heard Twilight giggle "Its ok you didn't know, and besides it looks like your royal as well, sorry i didn't catch your name....." She said dragging it out to sign that she wanted his name.
Without even thinking josh said. "Oh, its Frost Winter!" She smiled and nods ‘Why did i just do that? Well, looks like I'm going to have to stick with it now, unless i want to end up in a dungeon or something for lying to royalty, wait she said i look like royalty, what did she mean by that?’ He thought to himself. "You said i look like royalty, sorry but what do you mean by that?"
She looks like a cat caught in the night sneaking some food. "Oh i meant nothing by it...i mean....er......’She coughs to get her composure back.’ Sorry what i meant was seeing as you are a alicorn and all." she finished with a smile.
"An Ali what now?"
"An Alicorn, you know has both wings and horn and by nature royal." She said with a hint of confusion on her face. Josh looked to the window next to them and lo and behold he had a horn as well, its took all that josh had not to start freaking out again. She noticed the panic that he had on his face. "Erm are you okay mister frost?"
Josh decided not to tell her the whole truth just as a precaution but he came up with something, it's not 100% true but it will do for now. "Yeah I'm ok, I'm just kind of lost....hehe." He laughed sheepishly.
"Lost? where are you trying to go, if you don't mind me asking?” ‘She saw the look of confusion on his face.’ “Okay can you tell me where you are from then, maybe we can ask for help from there. ‘i gave her the same look.’ Okay.....can i ask you this, can you remember anything apart from your name?" She was thinking that because he look like he was surprised to be a alicorn, didn't know what one was, and that they are normally royalty, that maybe he had memory loss.
Josh was thinking it over, should he tell her he didn't remember or that he is an alien from another world in a alicorn or whatevers body. "Erm sorry but I don't really remember anything." She has a mixture of sadness and sympathy on her face.
"Oh i’m sorry mister Frost, would you like to come with me, i know somepony that might be able to help you." Josh nodded and she smiled back. Josh followed her to a big tree in the town, a very big tree. It had a sign next to what appeared to be a door saying "Golden Oak Library." The door itself was red, with a candle on it, there were windows placed around the tree trunk with bushes here and there around the tree. She opened the door and walked in, and invited Josh in. He had to duck a little to get in. Once he was in Josh looked at his surroundings, he wasn’t expecting it to be this big inside, the walls were covered in books, and there was a stairway and just off that was the kitchen. Josh's little exploration was cut short by a new voice coming from upstairs.
"Twilight did you get any gems while you where......whoa who's the big guy?"
"Spike this is Frost Winter he lost his memory so i brought him here so i could help him. I need you too take a letter please, Dear Princess Celestia i found a new alicorn today, he has lost his memory and is lost, please reply as soon as you can, Your faithful student Twilight sparkle" Spike finished his writing and rolled up the piece of paper he seemingly got from nowhere, puts a seal on it and then, breathes fire on it! Josh's eyes go wide from seeing this, but luckily for him neither of them were looking at him at the moment. Spike came down to greet the new guest when suddenly a bright flash of light appeared in front of the baby dragon. The trio shielded their eyes from the sudden flash of light, when they look to see what happened, there standing in front of spike is a white Alicorn, with a few choice colours in her mane, she was roughly the same height as josh, but the thing josh noticed was her mane, somehow it was moving like there was a breeze and josh couldn't even feel a little one. The new pony looked at josh with the best poker face he has ever seen. Then she smiled "Hello, so you are this new alicorn twilight mentioned?" Josh nodded.
"Yes, hello i’m Frost Winter and you are?" He asks, to hear twilight gasp.
"I'm Princess Celestia Co-ruler of Equestria it’s nice to meet you Frost. Twilight told me in her letter that you have lost your memory, I'm sorry to hear that. I'm also sorry to say there is no spell that can help somepony in your situation, that is if you really did have memory loss."
‘Ohh she's good, to good’ josh thinks. But josh had a mixture of shock and fear on his face now. Twilight turned to him "You don't have memory loss? so you lied to me!?" Celestia though helped josh out.
"Don't worry Twilight he has a good heart, i can see that in his eyes. But the question is who are you Frost?" Celestia noticed that Josh was about to panic and stepped in before he did. "Its ok we won't hurt you, but it would be best if you told us the truth" Celestia looked at Josh and her horn started to glow and then a beam of light was fired directly at him, Josh held his arm or legs up to shield himself, waiting for pain or something. But it never came, he looked back to Celestia who was holding a hoof to her mouth giggling quietly. Then she spoke up "The spell I just put on you, lets me know if you're lying or not, so I wouldn't try if I were you."
Josh sighed and looked down "The whole truth?" he asked, Celestia just nodded. So josh told them about what has happened to him from the car crash to waking up in the field to the moment he was found by Twilight. After he finished his story, he looked around to the faces of the two princesses and spike, Spike looked like he was shocked and something Josh couldn't quite put his finger on, or rather hoof. Twilight looked shocked and maybe a little excited, and Celestia as from before the same poker face.
"Thank you for telling the truth Frost" Celestia said with a small smile on her face.
