Forgotten Memories

Chapter 3

Forgotten Memories

It was a bright a day in Ponyville, the birds were chirping and everypony started doing there everyday business in the small town. I just got up from my bed, still groggy I slowly walked myself down the stairs where Twilight was scribbling on some paper with a quill.

"Oh good morning, I didn't see you there." Twilight said still fixated on writing her paper.

"What are you writing Twilight?"

"I am writing a letter to Princess Celestia about my latest discovery."

"And let me guess, that discovery is me."

"That is correct." Twilight says, writing down a few more words before signing the paper, "and... done, oh spike." Saying those words the purple dragon shot down the steps responding to Twilight's call.

"You called?" Spike answered saluting to Twilight waiting for a command.

"Spike I need you to send this letter to Princess Celestia for me." Twilight asked giving the letter to Spike.

"Hey won't it take a while to send a letter to a Princess who lives in a castle... assuming that she lives in a far away castle, because usually that's where they live, in books, like in fairy tails and stuff." I say questioning Twilight, wondering what i'm going to do while that letter was being sent.

"Well actually no it doesn't take that long, it takes a few seconds really."

"And how are you able to do that?"

"I'll show you" Twilight says as she gives the letter to spike. Spike then used his fire breath to burn the letter turning it into green smoke which soon just flew away.

"Why did you just burn the letter, weren't you going to send that to her?"

"Just watch." moments later Spike then burped up what looked like the letter he just burned.

"What, I thought you just burned that?"

"That's our way of sending letters to Princess Celestia." she says smirking as she grabs the letter and starts reading it.

"What does it say?" I ask eagerly wondering what words this letter holds.

"Well to sum it up Princess Celestia want's us to meet her in Canterlot to discuss about... well... you." she says pointing at me as she tries to explain. "But since she has a busy schedule today she won't be able to see us till later today, so that gives us time to introduce you to the rest of my friends." Twilight explains as I only sat in silence taking in all the new information that the purple pony had just fed me.

"Wait why do the rest of your friends need to know about me?"

"Because I don't want to keep a secret from them so they should know, maybe they'll help you out in Ponyville." Twilight says filling her bag as she slowly walks towards the door. "I'll be waiting outside, you should probably put the hood on too." She says as she walks out the door followed by a quite *donk*

I quickly head upstairs to grab my gear. The clothes I was wearing had more detail stuff on it now that I think about it. Around my neck was a scarf and a necklace with a symbol of a wolf on it, the hood I wore was able to come of the armor itself, and there was a bunch of strange, small writing all over my armor. I had no idea what it meant so I just ignored it and continued packing. When I looked at my sword and shield, I decided that I have no need for this stuff right now, but when I looked at my great sword it had all that writing on it too, plus I felt... attached to it somehow, either way it was still a weapon so I wanted to leave it here, but before I could leave I heard that voice again.

Take the sword with you, for you'll need it ahead of time.

"Who's there!" I said slightly trembling. I checked all over the house and out the window, but no one was there. "Where is that coming from? Well anyways whoever or whatever that voice was, it might be right." Even if this may be a hallucination who knows what might happen along the way, so I grabbed the great sword and quickly headed down the stairs and out the door.

As I exited the tree house Twilight looked at me in confusion.

"What took you so long?"

"Well I was just making sure I have everything."

"Ok, but why did you bring that." Twilight exclaimed pointing at the great sword on my back.

"A good luck charm?" I say hoping that she'll accept it and move on.

"Ok then but please keep that out of sight as much as possible, the guards might see that as some kind of threat." Twilight warns me.

"Well um..." I quickly checked through my bag to find a scarf "I don't know why i have this but i'll use it anyways." I say as I wrap the scarf around the sword. "Ok I think that's good enough let's go to Fluttershy's place first because I know her."

"Ok whatever you say." Twilight said while walking the path towards Fluttershy's cottage as I soon followed after her.

moments later at Fluttershy's cottage

"So do you want to knock on the door or should I?" I asked considering that Fluttershy might be better off talking to her friends first.

"I'll knock first" Twilight says as she walks up to Fluttershy's door and knocks. A few moments past until Fluttershy finally opened up the door.

"Oh hi guys, what are you doing here?" Fluttershy asked as she looked over at me and smiled. "Are we going somewhere?"

"Yes we are, we're heading over to Canterlot to see the princess and discuss about him." Twilight says while again pointing at me to explain. "But since she is busy we'll have to meet her later today, and so we are going to introduce him to our friends."

"Oh goody, but what will they say once they see him? "Fluttershy exclaimed while putting on a worried face.

"I'm sure they can handle it, it's not like the first time we've done something like this." Twilight says trying to calm Fluttershy's nerves.

"Oh well... ok let's go then." Fluttershy states as we head down the trail to our next destination.

5 minutes later at sweet apple acres

"Well here we are, Sweet Apple Acres." Twilight says showing me the large field of apple trees along with a red barn in the distance.

"They must be really famous for their apples." I say standing in awe at the large field full of red and green-ish colors. We start walking down the path until we end up next to the red barn. Looking around I spot an orange earth pony hauling a cart full of apple's, wearing blue overalls with a red plaid shirt.

"Howdy Twilight, Fluttershy," the orange earth pony greeted tilting her hat at her friends. "But um who's that?" She questions as she points in my direction.

"That's a friend of ours who lost his memory, he's not from this world either, he's a human." Twilight states.

"Ah human, that's one of the craziest stories I've heard from yah yet, but if you say so, then I believe you." the orange earth pony says to Twilight.

Twilight thanks Applejack and explains to her how I came out of the Everfree forest and how I just ended up here. After that Applejack came with us and we went onward for me to be introduced to another one of Twilight's friends.

moments later at the carousal boutique

After a little more walking we made it to a building with a sign on the front. "Carousal Boutique" I say mumbling to myself as Twilight walked up to the door and knocked on it. soon after a white colored unicorn opened the door. She had on a blue shirt with a black skirt.

"Oh why hello there Twilight what brings you here." The white-colored pony answers while leaning a little to the right looking at her group of friends and starts staring at me. "Um Twilight darling, what is that?" She says pointing at my direction.

"Well Rarity, that is our human friend who has lost his memory and..." Twilight rants on as Rarity walks closer up to me.

"Oh no not that, I mean what is that!" Rarity emphasizes as she points at my scarf. "That horrendous thing is a crime against fashion!" She states while taking my scarf off.

"H-hey, what do you think you're doing?" I try to speak as she nearly chokes me with my own scarf. "D-don't you have anything to say about me being human?"

"human I don't care if you're human you are not wearing that thing!" After talking she folds up the scarf and goes back into her shop. As for me I just stood there speechless, also wondering how long I wore that scarf. it must of been too comfortable for me to even notice as much, which also explains why my neck never got cold.

Rarity was in the store momentarily before coming out with a nice navy blue scarf that glistened in the sunlight. I don't know why it can shine but hey it looks pretty good.

"Here you go darling that should look better, I will have to take your measurements later and the we can-" Rarity was stopped as twilight grabbed here shoulder, giving Rarity a look that told her that we were currently on an important mission.

"I see, well let me just get a few things and then we can get going" Rarity soon disappeared inside the Boutique but Twilight followed after her.

"I'm going to fill her in on what we're doing, along with making sure that she doesn't pack her whole shop with her." Twilight said with an annoyed tone as she headed inside. It wasn't to long before the girls came out of the shop discussing the situation. Rarity had a couple bags with her, thank goodness and so we went to our next destination which would be wherever Twilight's leads us, I guess.

a few minutes later, in the middle of ponyville.

We were still walking along the road, but my feet were killing me and we were all a bit tired so we took a quick rest near a fountain but that's when we heard a whoosh followed with a yell of excitement. When I looked up my eyes met with a rainbow-mane pony as she hovered in the air with her wings. Judging by how she was racing through the sky while yelling in excitement she must be some kind of racer or flyer, the way they put it when the group of friends were complementing the rainbow-mane pony.

"Hey guys hows it going." Rainbow-mane said while eyeing me as I was standing at a distance. "Um who's that?"

"Well rainbow dash, that is our human friend who has lost his memory and..." Twilight then rants on again as Rainbow hovers up to me and then starts circling me.

"Well you certainly don't look like pony so what are you?"

"Well like Twilight said I'm a human, but I've lost all memories of myself."

"So you're a human with amnesia."

"Well, when you put it that way yes... yes I am."

"Hey Twilight what's going on here?" Rainbow Dash says looking for a beam of hope from Twilight.

"Well if you were listening, that is our human friend who lost his memories and we are gathering our friends to meet Princess Celestia later today." Twilight explains with a hint of anger in her voice as rainbow dash tries to process the information that twilight has given her.

Once Rainbow Dash finishes thinking about what Twilight said she sprang up flying loops in the air before coming back down to talk to the group. "Then we better not waste any time, let's get Pinkie Pie and then we can go to Canterlot to meet the princess." The groups agrees with Rainbow as we all set our sights on the last stop.

3 minutes later, at sugar cube corner

It didn't take much longer before we reached the last building on our list which was by the looks of it Sugar Cube Corner. In our moment of silence Twilight went up to knock on the door but this time was different. As soon as twilight knocked the very first time a pink curly-maned pony, which must be Pinkie Pie, swung the door open and nearly scared the daylights out of Twilight followed by a cute, "Eek!" out of her.

"Hiya Twilight I haven't seen you in such a looooooooooong time." The pink curly maned-pony jumped up and down in excitement.

"Well actually I just stopped by like 2 days ago."

"Yeah, which is a looooooooooong time." It wasn't too long before she spotted me and quickly made her way over here.

"Oh who's this I've never seen anything like him is he a dragon or or a tall mythical creature that came from a far away place!!!" pinkie exclaims in one breath.

"Well actually Pinkie he's-" before Twilight could explain Pinkie Pie immediately cut's her off.

"*Gasp*He's a human that came from the Everfree forest and has no idea who he is so he stumbled around until he got to Fluttershy's cottage and then you went to Twilight's place to try to cast a memory spell but it didn't work so the next day, which is today, you wrote a letter to Princess Celestia to discuss about him but her schedule was full till the afternoon so you decided to gather your friend's to talk about him and see what they think and then we could go to Canterlot to discuss this with the princess to see what she thinks *beams at friends*" Pinkie practically explained the entire situation before Twilight could even get done saying I was human all in one... single... breath... she has the ability to hold her breath forever, that has to be it.

"How did you...?" Before Twilight spoke again Rainbow Dash explained something very important to her.

"It's Pinkie Pie... don't question it." Now with that out of the way we all agreed on a quick snack before we went to Canterlot, so Pinkie let us all into the store to grabs some fresh sweets. Pinkies friends all got cupcakes but I wanted the pumpkin pie because that was my favorite. It didn't take much time for us to finish our desserts so we quickly cleaned up and made off but something caught my eye. I had circled around the building while the group slowly walked off. What met my eyes near a bush was some kind of statue. I wonder if this statue was a decoration they used, but why is it near the bushes. it was a statue of some chicken. My only question is why a chicken. but before I was able to examine it more that group called for me to quickly get over here. They just called me human for now.

moments of walking through Ponyville, Ponyville's train station

So a letter can be burned and sent far away to be delivered but we still have to take a train. Unfortunately they say the ride will take quite a while before we arrive at Canterlot.

"So are we all ready to go." Twilight asks the group while everypony checks for any missing items.

"we all set, good let's board the train and get to canterlot." twilight announces as we walk towards the train doors.

"Tickets please." t\The train guard said while Twilight handed the train guard all of their tickets, but when the group boards the train guard stops me from boarding. "What kind of pony are you?" he questions.

"Well I'm a... um..." Lucky for me the train steam sounded and you could hear the announcement through the loud speaker by the conductor shouting for everypony to get on. The train guard eyed me before letting me on the train. The doors closed behind me and I took my seat on the train. Nopony was on the seat row I was on so Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy came and sat next to me, asking me a couple of questions while the train started moving. Their questions were like "are you sure you can't remember anything about yourself" or "were you scared when you woke up," yeah most of my answers were no but they still tried to comfort me. The movement of the train started making me sleepy so I was going to take a nap until there was a loud bang and crash. the trained must have bumped into something, making the train itself shake violently. I checked to see that twilight and her friends were ok but soon something metal hit my head and fell to the ground. My vision was blurry and everything was slowly fading away. The last thing I heard was somepony shouting "human!" before my vision went dark.

5 years earlier, unknown location

I slowly opened my eyes to meet a bright light. I sit up to see that I'm in a bed made out of wood and the blanket was made out of fur. The room was made out of cobble, the ceiling and floor was made out of rough wood that was a dark shade. I get out of bed and serve myself some breakfast. I put on my shoes and grab my jacket. Before I went outside I quickly checked myself to see if I was dressed properly. I was wearing a white ragged shirt with brown slacks. I had boots that went up to my knees and my jacket was different shades of grey. I seemed okay so I put my jacket on and went outside.

As I close the door behind the windy breeze grazes upon my bare skin as it was also foggy. I could only see up to 20 feet ahead of me, but anything else was just a blur. I tread carefully along the stone path until I came up upon a set of stairs. They lead up to a building with lanterns at the front. I walked up the steps until I reached the door. I knocked on the door waiting. Once the door opened I walked inside the see a nicely furnished room. This room had a long table made out of wood that was darkly shaded. The chairs all lined up near the table ready for people to sit in. There were a pair of stairs on the sides that lead to a door which read "sleeping chambers". There was that along with a couple more doors on each side. the man who opened the door came up to me and told me to take a seat and so I listened and took a seat..

"your early." The man spoke "I didn't think you would take the time to come so quickly."

"Well it was something I was interested in and I didn't want to miss out. I responded with a bit of nervousness in voice.

"I see, well it will be a while before the rest come so make yourself comfortable." The man said told me. "Oh I almost forgot, my name is Igor, but I will introduce myself formally later as for now I must tend to the food." The man said walking off towards one of the doors. In the time being I decided to meditate. It helped ease my mind and body for some reason.

Momentarily there was a knock on the door and Igor rushed to open the door. A person walked through and then a few moments later another knock and another came in until there was about 6 of us.

"Alright is everyone here?" Igor asked "There should be six of you."

It didn't take long for everyone to answer together.

"Here!" all of us replied.

"Alrighty then, welcome to the wolf guild. this guild was made to help fight off the enemy that attacks our town. along with the people and bandit's that want to harm our home, but it is also a home for the people who don't have anywhere to go but still want to help in a way. As for you guys you are going to help save this town. The reason you signed on was to help, am I wrong?" Igor asked but everyone just nodded their heads agreeing with why we came here. "But that will be for later, as of now I help you start on the right path. what we're doing today is an introductory. Let's start with you." Igor pointed at a man with the blonde hair.

the man stood up and introduced himself. "My name is Simon Connors, I am 18 years old." Simon announced. He had red eyes with his blonde hair. He was wearing a green shirt with a vest and some blue pants. Then rose another person next to him.

"Hi I'm Laura Renz, I am 19 years old" The lady told the group with her red hair and blue eyes. She wore a light blue shirt with red pants on, and soon another person rose.

"Hi there my name is Megan Carthy, I am 18 years old." She said with her black wavy hair and brown eyes. She just had a black shirt on with skinny light brown pants. Next the 4th person rose.

"I'm William Nart but you can just call me will." He told everyone with a smirk on his face. "I'm 18 years old." He said folding his arms in his yellow shirt with short pants. He had a silver shine in his hair with the same color eyes. soon the 5th person rose to speak.

"My name is Roger Wilson, and I'm 20 years old." He said in a shy voice. His black hair matched with his pants and his orange shirt matched with his eyes too, and lastly I stood up to introduce myself to the group.

"I'm Ryan Strife, I am 19 years old." I say smiling. I had dark brown hair with brown eyes. I was wearing sky blue pants and a green shirt. Then suddenly the image went dark and everything was black.

present time,the princesses castle

Slowly I gained my consciousness until I was able to sit up straight. It looked like I was sleeping in a medical bed with six ponies standing around it.

"Are you alright Mr. Human?" Fluttershy asked with a worrying tone.

"Don't worry about it, I'm perfectly fine." I try to lower the bleak atmosphere in the room.

"Ok well that's great to hear, um can you walk."

"Of course I can." I say getting out of my bed. It didn't take long before dizziness struck me and I wobbled in my own steps.

"Are you sure your fine?" Twilight questioned as I almost toppled onto her.

"Yes I am, now let's go talk to the princesses." I say rushing out the door to have my eyes greeted by two royal ponies sitting on the top of some kind of staircase at the end of the room. The larger one had a wavy fiery mane with white fur. She had her crown sitting on her head as she looked towards me. The one sitting next to her had a dark blue mane with darker blue fur. She was just like the larger one sitting next to her but smaller and dark blue looking.

"Ah you must be the human that Twilight and her friends were talking about." one of the princesses spoke with her mighty voice. "Oh I almost forgot, where are my manners." She says chuckling. "I'm Princess Celestia and this is my sister Princess Luna.

"Greetings!" Luna greets me with a yelling voice. "Oh um excuse my loud talking that is the royal Canterlot voice we use when talking to the citizens of Equestria." She explains with a slight blush on her face.

"Now then shall we continue with the main discussion."Celestia asks me and the group of friends standing next to me.

In the brief silence I decided to speak up. "Um yes well as you know I am a human."Celestia began looking at me as I spoke. "But the problem is that I've lost my memories and we tried a spell but that didn't work" soon after my speech Celestia started talking.

"Well then I think I can help you with that but it will have to wait tomorrow for I am busy and I must go get some rest for it is almost night time. As for you human I will announce your presence so that if anypony were to see you they will not be alerted,but before my guards escort you to your bed chambers... is there a certain name you'd like to be called." Celestia offered me as I stood there for a couple of moment's trying to come up with a reaction.

"Hmm... um... call me Ryan... Ryan Strife."
