The Dragon Chronicles

Prisonish escape

I sat up moaning with stiff pain alongside pins and needles. I get up. More moaning. Ow, ow and more ow

"Hello?" I called out. My voice seemed to bounce across the room, make a vague shape of every thing around me. Not much in the room but a bed and a large door. Great. I can hear like a bat. I went on to open my eyes but could only see blackness. Double great. I'm also blind.

I lifted a... foot? A thing? Anyway I lifted a thing  up to my forehead to wipe the sweat that had formed. Doing that I noticed three things at once.

1. I don't have things. I have sphircle, flat, fuzzy things. Hoof is the word that comes to mind. But without a horseshoe.

2. I have a cone on my head. After running a... hoof along its length I found it had two lines twisting around and meatiness a a single, sharp point. A horn?

3. I have thick(and kind of long) hair stretching on top my head and down a longish neck.

I'm a horse. A midget one, no less. Curse Poseidon! Poseidon? Hmm...

Anyway, I begin to discover the strangeness of my body. Very overly large wings and a extraordinarly thick tail. I stretch the Lents of my tail and find that it is actuly folded, when it really is(approximately) seven meters long. I toss it against  the floor.

Hold. I felt that! Not vibrations or anything. I mean I actuly felt that in my tail. I'll  try some thing else. I reaching out to grab the far corner off the bed. My tail obeys without qustion. I try the set it to "default" mode. It automatically folds up to how it was before. How odd. I have nerves in my tail.

After about another ten minutes messing about with what I can do I hear footsteps. Correction. Hoof steps. Toward this room I'm in out of pure defence instinct my tail lashes on to the bed's feet and hoists it above my head.

Key and lock clicking. The door groans open.

"Good afterno-  WHOA!"

The voice was calm, collected and confedent.. Except for the "whoa" part. And he was absolutely male (I hope).

I threw the bed to my left and bolted, seeing my escape opportunity. I jumped over his head and barrelled down the corridor leaving a lot of yelling behind me. Not half a moment later I heard whooshes and whistles past my ear while forming a wall of stuffy stuff up ahead of me. Oh shist, what do I do.

Speak the following word while focusing and channeling your power.

A voice in my head. Loverly.

I did what the voice told me to anyways, although I doubt it would work.

"Ha-di!" I screamed out.

I heard a shimmering sorta' noise followed by lots of explosions on the barrier ahead.

I kept running onward. Eventually after about twenty minutes of running, I slammed into a door raced to what I could guess was a large garden, by the sound of it. By that time I ran out of breath and stumbled into a... waist... high pond. Then I herd sounds of steel upon steel.

"You are surrounded. surrender now, or be poked!" said a gruff and cautious voice.

"Poked?" Another asked, "that's stupid. How 'bout 'or be aggressively disemboweled?'"

"Nah."

"Damn it."

Everyone was silent. After afew moments I heard yet another voice, no louder than a whisper, coming from the water.

"Do you need help? I think you need help. We can help!" Followed by a fair amount of giggles.

Water. Let's see what I can do. I tried To imagin the waters spinning around in a circle, incasing me in a sphere, protecting me. That's exactly what it did. More yelling. And girly giggles from the water.

I could try to keep this going for a few seconds. But I'm out of energy now. A ant could atack me now I would hardly be able to defend my self. So I throw a stick.

SLOSH!

A silent pause.

"I'm out," was all I said.

Another pause.

Then came single laghter.

"Impressive, I must say!" It was the voice from when I was in the room.

"Soldiers, stand ground," after that order, I "heard" the spears point away from me, followed by a chuckle.

"You have caused me a good deal of trouble, sir. My name is Shining Armor, captain of the royal guards. And now, I'm afraid, I must take you to see the princesses."

"Shining Armor, what was all the noise about?" A new vice spoke when I entered a very large room with "Shining." The new voice was definitely female as well as more stronger and regal than the others I have heard.

"It was this stallion here, your highness," oh good. Just making sure I was a guy and not a tricycle.

Then one more voice came, again female, but more grouchy and annoyed. "I doubt he could cause that of much of a din."

No comments from anyone.

"Anyways, thank you Shining Armor for bringing him in. Please leave us now," called the first one.

I heard a trotting down the corridor behind me. I was alone in a large room with only two super powerful beings. How did I know they were super powerful? They sent off a sort of vibe, an aurora if you will, that radiated power around the room. That would be why I flinched when one began talking to me.

"Greetings, my name is Princess Celestia. This is my sister, Princess Luna. And who may I ask are you?

"I'm afraid I don't know who I am. And sorry for trashing your castle," I responded rather sheepishly.

"I accept your apology, thank you. Do you happen to know of where you came from?"

"I don't think you will get many answers, sorry."

So we continued on, each princess asking me a qustion in turn. Luna kept insisting that I was lying, which made it kind of frustrating.

After seemingly hours of talking, questioning and answering, Celestia finally told me of the few things she new of.

"You simply appeared here, with only an amulet."

At the end of that sentence I felt something fall around my neck. Something a bit weighty.

"It has been tested and has a strong magic within it, but not even our best researchers and studiers can unlock it," Luna stated a-mater-of-factly.

You will be setting of in the morning tomorrow if you have no objections."

I just shook my head in response.

"Good. Now go rest," she continued.

As I tured to leave, one more question struck me.

"How long was I asleep for?"

"Five days," both said in unison.

I went back down to my "bed chamber" following a guard to get their through the labyrinth of halls.

As soon as my body flopt down on the bed, to weak to think about food, drinks or anything. The power I used to get away from the guards must of drained me. My last thought was to hope for a restful night of sleep.

Zzzzzzzzz...
