Pain and darkness. That’s all I could get. I couldn’t speak, I couldn’t hear anything, I felt just sharp, searing pain through my body, and all I saw was pitch black darkness. Did the spell fail? Did I die? No, I didn’t die. I feel pain, and after you die, there is no pain. The spell failing is very possible though.

I can hear something. Faint beeping, and a voice, but both sound so far away. Why do they sound so far away? No. they aren’t far away, my sense of hearing is slowly coming back. The spell, the pain, I blacked out during it. Did they stop? I don’t know, but my arms aren’t reacting properly. Am I a pony now? I wonder what kind. A unicorn would be cool. But so would a Pegasus. Or maybe I will be an earth pony?

I felt the pain subside, and the voices grew louder from unhearable murmuring, to slightly loud whispers. I could hear Celestia sounding worried, no…more like scared. There’s Twilights voice too, and she sounds saddened as well. Hmm, I can feel my limbs now, the pain is gone, and the darkness is becoming brighter.

I soon opened my eyes and saw I was in a bed in…the room I unpacked in. I looked at what was beeping and saw a heart monitor, I may not have great control of my limbs, but I slowly pulled off the sensor pads making the heart monitor flat line. As soon as it started its droning tone, I heard two gasps and looked towards the door to see twilight and Celestia turn to me, and I saw Celestia with red, puffy eyes, while twilight had just formed some tears.

I just chuckled, hearing my voice was hoarse, and raspy. “I’m not dead yet.” I started coughing and gasping trying to get my breath again, but each gasp felt like I was inhaling fire, and shards of glass. After a minute the coughing fit calmed down and Celestia and Twilight were at both sides of me asking “how I felt”, “do I feel ok”, and they were looking at me kind of oddly. I told them I felt weak, my senses were kind of dulled temporarily, and my hearing is all I seem to have back completely, but my sight was close behind it. I had a few spots, and blur spots from the lack of air I had.

I felt something on my head move, and I went to grab it with my ha- uhh…hooves…..I have hooves. I am apparently a pony now. Wait, what kind?! I felt my forehead to only find I didn’t have a horn. Ok, I’m not a unicorn, but i have a blonde mane, just like my human hair was. I then lifted the covers and looked over myself to see wings. I had a black coat over my whole body, but my wings were bright red. Wait…I have something on my flank. Do I already have a cutie mark?

Tossing the cover down, I saw that I had a cutie mark. A grey pegasus wing outstretched, but it was on fire. WHAT CAN THAT EVEN MEAN?! THAT I WILL BURN OTHERS?! No, that doesn’t make sense, because I wouldn’t do that on purpose!!! It has to be something else. I guess I will figure it out later. For now, I’m a pony, and I should learn how to walk like one….i mean, walking can’t be that hard right…?

I slid off the bed and landed on my hooves just to stumble a bit, but I quickly get my balance. A lot hard than I thought….movement isn’t the problem it’s the change in gravitational center. Thankfully, it didn’t take long for me to get, then I was walking around with a few stumbles.

After an hour of learning how to walking around, I had gotten the hang of it. Twilight offered to give me a tour of Canterlot, which did sound interesting so I accepted and we went around Canterlot. I didn’t expect it to be like a class, learning about every major building we passed. But the city was incredible. After the tour we stopped at a house and twilight used her magic to pull a key from her saddlebag, as she called it, and unlocked the door.

“If my mom says anything…weird or awkward, please just ignore it” she laughed nervously as we went inside. I’m guessing from what she said, this is her parents’ house. But soon after we entered a small purple dragon jumped on her back hugging her as she giggled at the dragons’ action. “I missed you too spike, oh and this is….uhh….”

Hmm….I wonder if it this will be understood. I chuckled and nodded to spike as I spoke. “Drem yol lok, goraan dovah. Nii los dremsil wah grind hi. Dii faan los Yoltaas Uft.” I saw spike tilt his head confused and twilight stared at me with wide eyes. “Ok…that did not work. I said its nice to meet you spike, my name is Blazing Feathers. But just call me Blaze.” I smiled a bit rubbing my neck feeling stupid.

“You can speak….but how…..nopony but dragons have ever used that language. And they have never spoken in that language around non-dragons! Other than Celestia of course…”

So Celestia knows Dovahzul? I am going to enjoy this later. “Sorry Twilight. But that’s going to be my little secret.”

I saw spike jump off twilight back and walk up to me, and around me eyeing me. Now, I’m feeling a little nervous. After his second time circling me, he stared at me then spoke. “It's nice to meet you blaze. But I’ve got my eye on you. Twilight isn’t one for friends, she is usually a book worm, and you don’t seem like a book worm to me.” He walked into another room as I saw a white/grey mare with white mane and tail both with a couple purple streaks, and 3 purple stars as her cutie mark, at the top of some stairs. When she saw us, or maybe just twilight, she ran down and hugged twilight and they started talking. I decided to just sit there and look around seeing pictures of the two mares, spike, and two stallions. One was white with a blue mane, and another stallion that was blue, and also had a blue mane. The white one had armor on; the blue stallion had a foreleg over the white stallion. Must be Twilights' father, and...either an uncle, or a brother, but by his age id say brother most likely...

I eventually saw a picture of all five of them smiling, and I instinctively got up and walked over to it. As I stared at it I saw an image of MY whole family, and me, smiling, then saw some of the smiling faces start frowning then look angry, till all but mine was angry. I even started hearing their voices saying ‘failure’, ‘loser’, ‘unwanted’, and the word I heard most….’adopted’. I eventually felt a hoof on my shoulder and gasped as the image and voices stopped, looking over at twilight and her mother looking at me worried and I felt my face was wet. I wiped my hoof along my cheek and felt tears, and felt them still flowing and quickly wiped my eyes.

“I-I’m sorry. I just…I’m alright, really.” I looked at them smiling a bit, but they still looked worried.

Twilight’s mother walked up to me, and she just hugged me as she spoke to me softly. “you shouldn’t hold it in. doing that, turn the heart cold, and you start holding everything, even what you don’t want to hold in, until you explode. And you risk hurting everyone around you.” She slowly let me go and looked at me smiling. “My name is Twilight Velvet, but everyone calls me Velvet.”

“I’m blaze. It’s nice to meet you, but don’t worry about me. I’m a lot stronger than to let my emotions break like that. There’s no need to worry about me, I swear.”

Velvet nodded and placed her hoof on my shoulder. “Alright, but if you need to talk, I’ll always have an ear to lend. I’m sure twilight will too.” I saw twilight nod, which made me nod at them.

They headed into the same room as spike went and I followed them to see a living room, with a nice sized television. That answers my question about TV. We all talked for a while, and then I heard a door knob jostling up stairs which made my ear twitch, and I turned my head a bit and turned, and angled my ear, as I heard hoofsteps.

“Either someone just woke up, or they finally left a room….” I looked at twilight, velvet, and spike having just remembered they were there and smiled nervously. “I….heard a door knob from the second floor….” Just as I finished saying that there were hoofsteps coming down the stairs and the blue stallion walked into the living room.

I was the first he saw considering I was in a chair across from the doorway. His stare just made me freeze like a deer caught in the headlights of a car, and I just stared back nervously. After a while I looked at twilight was looking back and forth between us, but I looked back after I heard a ‘pop’ kind of sound. I decided to look over at the stallion, but I saw he was point blank to me.

I yelled in surprise and pressed back shrinking into the chair. His hard stare lightened and he started laughing as he spoke. “I see I can still scare others with that. I thought most were used to that trick by now.”

I could hear Twilight's voice as I kept looking at the stallion trying to calm my quickly beating heart. “Dad, that wasn’t funny, what if he had a heart condition?! You could have killed him!”

I finally calmed down and Twlights' fathers’ ears seemed to drop back. I decided to jump in to help calm things down, before an argument or anything could happen. I already went through a family tearing apart till it was ‘every man for himself’ and I would hate to see another family hit that point. “n-no, it’s alright twilight.” I sat back up and sighed. “It was actually kind of funny. Usually I can read any anger, or any other possible emotions through the eyes, but I couldn’t read him at all.” I held my hoof to him smiling a bit. “My name is Blazing Feathers, or Blaze for short. It’s nice to meet you…mister….?”

“Light. Night Light.” He shook my hoof smiling. “And it’s nice to meet you too. I don’t meet many that’s a good sport after a fright like that.”

We all continued to talking, more about twilight, and her parents than me, because I kind of tried to keep my life secret. I only mentioned about problems in my past, because Velvet kept asking things along those lines. Otherwise, what I was, where I was from, and anything about my family in depth I kept secret or made something up. I believe Twilight's parents knew I was lying, but they let it go.

Velvet offered to make lunch for us, but twilight mentioned how she needed to get back to Celestia for some special assignment involving a ‘Summer Sun Festival’. She got some things packed, and had spike get on her back and we went back to the castle. Once we met up with Celestia, she talked about how she wanted twilight and I to head to Ponyville, and check on the festivals preparations, and she had the hot air balloon getting prepared. I went and got my stuff packed up again, and got my cat, who I had to prove I was still me. Little chin scratch, and that was that. Me and Mimzy met up with twilight and spike, and started our journey to Ponyville, but one thing was nagging at me…..why am I getting a sense, that things are going to get weird soon…?

Author's Note
