Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe sunlight sneakily made their way onto my eyelids as I slowly began to regain conscience. I didn't want to wake yet so I did anyone would do, I rolled onto my side. As I did, pain coursed its way through my body
"aaaaahhhhhhh" I screamed out in agony
and with that, I lost conscience once again.
Once I regained conscience yet again, I managed to sit up using only my right arm. I struggled moving as my back kept giving me uncontrollable throbs of mind-racking pain. I took a look at my left arm.
I started feeling sick to my stomach. my left arm was covered in cuts and bruises but worst of all was that it just hung there limply, bent at an unnatural angle. I tried to move it but got only torturous pain in return. The bone must be broken I thought as the pain finally receded. I proceeded to look at both my legs sprawled out in front of me and that did it. I felt extremely sick.
"HHHHHUUWWWAAAA." I vomited onto a cold, stone floor made of large bricks. I noticed then that a pool of red sticky liquid was starting to surround me, engulfing me in the stench of blood.
I vomited a second time and felt the remains of my half eaten breakfast from that morning come out. after getting my bearings back I decided that I should move and try to find civilization. first I called for help but to my avail, no-one came. for the first time, I took notice of my surroundings. I was in some sort of ancient castle ruins as I saw a crumbling roof above my head and worn down walls with massive holes all around me. there were also two thrones at the far end of the chamber. Must have been an ancient royal castle for the king and the queen. I noticed almost instantly that no-one had been here for years an that it was unlikely someone would come here so I decided that I should move and try to find civilization which did however prove difficult due to my situation. I tested my right leg first. Fatal mistake as I had to use my remaining strength not to scream out in misery at the condition of my right leg. there were many deep wounds into my leg and my thigh. my foot was bent at an angle that I didn't even know a foot could bend to, broken or not. but the worst part was the foot-long gash that had cut through my lower leg muscle so deep that I could see the bare bone underneath. It hurt like hell.
Right then the severity of the situation hit me. I was stranded and alone in some place that I don't even know or recognize, I'm was bleeding myself dry, and I was no condition to do anything except wait. I knew I was going to die, I could feel it. Feel death coming closer and closer, grasping its long, bony fingers around my soul and pulling it in. Thats when I began to sob.
I started laying back down and sobbing quietly, waiting for the inevitable. The crimson pool was growing around me and I started to sob even more. tears were rolling down my cheeks and mixing with some of the vital life fluid that had surrounded me, turning it a slightly lighter shade of red. Thoughts of home made their way into my mind as I wept for my life. I started to lose conscience from the lack of the fluid that kept me alive. Before I lost conscience again, I heard a rustle behind one of the walls and I thought 'there might be people coming' so with the remaining strength in my lungs, I called out.
"o-o-ov-ver he-ere, p-p-pl-please, h-help me" was the barely audible gurgle that came from my throat but it was enough. the creature had heard me as he was coming closer. Suddenly on the other side of the stone floor from behind a wall came a white ... horse? in golden clad armor. I suddenly changed my mind about calling for help but it was too late now, the creature had already found me.
We locked eyes for about thirty seconds before I started moving away while the creature only stared at me. I had to drag my legs and my useless arm with the only good limb left on me. I started slowly inching away from the creature. my arm buckled under all the weight. I faltered and fell. I turned my head to see the creature had turned around and was ... yelling for some kind of princess, galloping away at full speed. I though i must be dreaming because I's almost one hundred percent sure that ponies cant talk.
My mind reeled as the fall took its toll on me and I was almost unconscience once again. I saw a bright light in the distance. In front of the light was a figure with wings that raced towards me. It looked like it was coming for me, to take me away from this horrible life.
My final thought before my eternal sleep overcame was one that I had thought I would never come to think; 'god, is that you?'
Since they had raced out of the Golden Oaks library that morning, Princess Luna, Princess Celestia and Princess Twilight Sparkle were looking for the ancient magical signature that had suddenly entered their world with quite a bang. they had started around the edge of the Everfree forest, near fluttershy's cottage but had soon found that that search was fruitless.
eventually, Celestia and Luna managed to trace the energy signature to the ancient ruines of the castle of the royal pony sisters and the areas around it. By the time the princesses all arrived, a platoon of guards had already started scouring the area per orders of Princess Celestia herself. Suddenly a guard came from the main entrance of the castle and shouted
"Princess, we have located a strange being inside the castle. Come quickly, it looks like he's dying.
With that, Celestia took to the sky and flew towards the main entrance of the castle at phenomenal speeds with Luna and Twilight following suit. As Luna managed to catch up, she asked through labored breaths
"What do *huff* you think it *huff* is?
"I do not know, dear sister of mine, but we shall find out soon enough" Celestia answered her sister who grunted in reply.
As they landed and walked thought the main entrance, the sight that greeted them shocked them greatly, Even Celestia. A strange being la collapsed around a pool of blood in the middle of the ancient throne room of the castle. all three princesses approached cautiously and eyed the strange being. After debating if the creature was harmful or not, the princesses decided than in its state, the creature could hardly kill a fly.
"Sister, we need to move the creature to a hospital right away, its dying" Luna exclaimed in a pleading tone
" I agree, we have to take action immediately. GUARDS," Celestia called
"Yes my princess"
"Please take this creature to the nearest hospital in ponyville. Be very careful." Celestia stated
"As you command my princess" The guard said while bowing before galloping away to fetch more guards for the dire situation.
"Princess, can I ask you something" Twilight Sparkle asked quietly
"Of course my faithfull student, ask away."
"What do you think that creature was and do you think it had anything to do with that magical outburst from this morning. There might be a connection that we have not thought of. It doesn't seem very coincidental, that magic burst and now this creature."
"I do not known what the creature is but from his form, I'm guessing that its a bipedal. as for the second question, The creature did not look very magically infused, neither did I sense any particularly strong magic coming from the creature. I'm just not sure what connection the events all have in common. However, we can certainly ask the creature once it wakes up and you my faithfull student can lead the information session " Celestia responded
Twilight seemed to have her spirits lifted by the pursuit of knowledge. Especially an area which nopony ever had the chance of research.
"Dearest sister, Could you please scan the area with a magic level spell please since i know you are best at them. I want to know the extent of this power."
"Of course Celestia" Luna replied as she charged her horn for the spell.
"nothing so far, nope, still nothing, just the same ancient magic as the - WAIT, its there, oh wow. WOW"
"What" both Twilight and Celestia practically screamed in Luna's ear.
"CALM YOURSELVES" was heard from Everfree to Canterlot as Luna used her royal Canterlot voice to calm her sister and her sisters apprentice down. "This magic is beyond what i've known for more than a thousand years, not since before my ... banishment. This is strong magic indeed. So strong it might rival our own.
