Block by block

(Twilight's POV)

"Please, everypony, calm down! I'm sure we can rebuild, and anyone who's home is destroyed can sleep in a spare room in the castle!"

"Calm down? CALM DOWN? This.... THING appears and destroys our home, and we are meant to do some yoga and read a magazine? It may be easy for you to say - you live in a CASTLE!"

I sighed and walked slowly away from the raging crowds to talk to my friends.

"Girls, have any of you seen anything strange?"

Fluttershy twirled a lock of her mane. "I saw two things fall from the sky... One of them landed in the everfree, then one of them landed in my garden... I still don't know what that one is."

I thought for a second, before asking Fluttershy to show us the creature... it had got to be worth a try, right? Even if it was dangerous, we could destroy it with the elements and never see it again.

As soon as we saw the creature, we gasped... the shape it was in.... the look of it...

Then, all of a sudden, two, blue eyes flicked open.

(Steve's POV)

Everything looked blurry. Six strange creatures were stood over me, each one of them blobs of colour, and everywhere hurt. My leg felt numb - it was quite clearly broken - and I had scrapes and cuts all down my back and my arms. I whimpered helplessly.

"Shhh, it's okay. We won't hurt you."

The voice was clearly female, and felt like it was laced with care and consideration. I groaned again, and felt soft fur against my skin. A kind, loving face came into my vision. It was clearly where the voice came from. I let her stroke my hair and play with my fingers for a while, until one of the other equine things - the blue one - stepped closer. I let out a deep growl and glared at the blur until it stepped backwards.

"It's okay, big guy, she won't hurt you. Can you talk?"

I mumbled and pushed myself so that I was sat up. The blurs were soon proven to be even more equines.

"Y...Yeah...."

Although it wouldn't seem like it, I'm quite shy and quiet myself. I never used to be, but years without sentient contact and only talking to a wolf who lives with me didn't help.

"What's your name?"

"S-Steve..... Where's Moneki?"

The butter-yellow pegasus looked confused. "There was nopony else with you, sorry..."

'Nopony? They must be ponies... strangest ponies I've ever seen...'

"H-He isn't a pony, he's a wolf.... little gray wolf with a red collar...."

"Did he come here like you?"

"Yes!"

Butter (nicknames) bit her lip. "He must of landed in the Everfree Forest... he might not survive...."

"He's tougher than he looks, you know.... but just in case, we'd better go find him..."

I pushed myself (painfully) onto my feet, wrapped up my broken leg, and started planning the rescue mission - the rescue of Moneki!
