Dark and alone, if only I hadn't gone wandering off again. Why in the wide world of of Equestria would this stupid stallion walk into my forest ? The Ever Free is mine and any who dare enter will pay the price! Said the Dark being.
Great alone in a dark scary forest, the trees literally look like they are going to grab you at any moment. Some even seem to have faces on them. Hey, that one looks like one of my… well I’m not sure of who it looks like. Why am I talking to myself. I guess while I’m at it I should try and recall what I can. I was in Manehattan, taking a walk in the cool autumn air, trying to clear my head. I think I was in a bar or maybe a friends place? Either way I have a headache straight from Tartarus. Did I wake up here or did I actually wander in here on my own? Also what was my name? “The confuse stallion begins to examine himself.” No horn or wings so that takes Unicorn and Pegasus out of the question, must be an Earth pony then. My coat seems to be red or blackish can’t really tell with the little moon light shining through the trees. My tail is white with red tips that's clear to see so my mane must be something like it. Not many ponies have different tails and manes than their tails. I also seem to be wearing a torn up shirt on. So, the bar thing was most likely the reason I’m here, not many fights just happen on the streets. Now that I’m thinking about it how come I can recall these little things and not the major things like who I am?
This fool! Who dare he sit there like this isn't a big deal. Not even knowing who the hell he is! Yes, you're an Earth pony you dimwit! Your coat’s maroon and your tail is white. You came into my forest as drunk as 1,000 Irish Horse! My trees tell me your name is…
Wow, look at that my mark is a scythe. Makes sense Earth ponies are the more labor race. Hmm, maybe my name is close to my mark? Scythe, scythe? Maybe Blade or Cutter? I lake Blade, so I’m going with that one. Well now that that's done let's find a way out of here said Blade.
Blade is that what you're going with, really? I think the name you were given is better. Old Moon just rolls off the tongue more but, who am I to say. I hate how tour so calm in my forest, wolves go! Make our guest feel welcome the Ever Free way…
I've been walking for quite some time now, where am I going? (Snap) What was that?
The glowing yellow eyes of a Timber wolf appears in front of Blade. Timber wolves are made of actual timber. It’s a tree that's a wolf and yet they are the most feared creatures other than the thorny vines of the… Ever Free… I’m in the Ever Free, that's it I’m never making it out of here. Only Zebras can make it out alive, I’m not like that at all.
Oh, you have no idea… being a Zebra is the only way that I would allow you pass in my forest.
okay wolf trees what am I going to do. Timber, that means fire would work but, i’m not a unicorn so that's out of the question. There is only a few of them maybe I can dodge and run away.
The wolves begin to charge with every intent of ripping the pony in there sight.Two of them crash into each other and turn to dust. “Okay so trees hurt tree wolves, good to know”, the remaining ones rush at the stallion as he dashed to the left having them hit the trees around him.
Why that little fool, those were my favorite hounds! Well if he can make it out of my wolf trap maybe he can give me some entertainment. Fairies, yes they can be useful.
Well that was exciting! Ha Ha, No tree can stop Blade the wolf tamer! Whats that sound, it’s almost like a lullaby? Light a very bright light! What is that thing?
I’m not a thing or it I’m a she. A fairy by the name Itineris, explorer of the EverFree forest.
A fairy, like sparkly dust and such?
No, okay the sparkly thing yes but, no wishes or favors. I was sent by my master to lead you to the end of the forest. Really, your master must be a nice guy then, if he doesn't want me here.
Nah, he’s just hates it when his pets end up in a pile of lumber. So come follow me. If you don’t want to die!
Ah, wait what? Wait for me!
Yes my little fairy take him to the Crystal ball. When you find out just who you are then the fun will begin. Oh, you poor fool, hope you can lose your memory this time around said the Dark being.
So if were going out of the forest why are we going deeper into it?
You'll get out, just not in the way you were hoping.
So you're planning on killing me! Well if that's the case then I’ll just take my chances with the forest.
Wait, I’m not planning on killing you nor is my master, he just wants you to see something. He just wants you give you some clarity, You do want to know about your past right?
How did you know that? Were you in my head!
Ha, fairies can’t do that, but master is able to do many things. He can even give your most deepest desires.
I don’t believe I follow you to well but, if I live through this then I’ll let him do this. So what are head to any way?
An orb if i’m not mistaken.
What kind of orb?
Crystal, like a crystal ball.
A crystal ball? Why a crystal ball and not just zap me or something?
Well where's the fun in that. It doesn't matter were here now. Just put your hoof on the crystal and let it do its thing. Happy slaying!
Yes see your past, who you are, come back to the living Old Moon!
What going on? Why am i in the city? Why do I feel like I'm covered in something sticky and what this red liquid dripping off my mane? I think I’m losing consciousness and is that blood on the ground? Who am I again?...
The Manehattan News Report: “On that night Old Moons Slaying was put to an end by the Royal Guard, the only survivor spent the rest of her days in a mental facility repeating the same words over and over again. “No one was left standing not even the Mad Pony with the Scythe”!
