"Well that was an interesting event," a lone human male says in an isolated meadow, "Where am I? Is this the land after death? Not as much blood as I expected." He examines his environment, wondering if this really was the after life.

"Last time I checked, I was going against some brigand and he stabbed me, it was not that fun, painful really," he mutters to himself, "I really don't like ouchies, and my death could have been much more brutal, yet much less painful." The man raises; standing, he begins to brush any excess dirt off his robes.

"I guess I now gotta go explore this new terrain, maybe I'll find some crows or ravens to talk to." The man began to walk towards the north, continuing his exploration to find some sentient creature. He was getting lonely in this empty field, yet it seemed to keep going on. The man, however, knew that this wasn't the afterlife. He knew that it would be filled with more of the damned, and not some empty field filled with multicolored flowers. The man walked for hours; the scenery continued to change yet there was still no civilization. The man yawned, realizing that he has been walking through the night instead of resting. He didn't care that much for sleep, but today was different. He felt drowsy, which is not usual for himself. The man walked over to a large tree in the center of a small forest and slumped against it, drifting off into a deep sleep.

The sun rose hours ago, yet the man still slept under the tall tree. His slumber was never bothered, until three voices could be heard.

"You guys, you know we're not supposed to be out in the Everfree without an adult," a high, yet sweet voice says. A sound of worry in her voice.

"Don't panic Sweetie Belle, we'll be fine!" says another deeper voice, an adventurous tone lingers with each word.

"Yeah Sweetie, maybe we'll all earn our cutie marks doin' something out here!" followed another voice, with a southern accent to it, "Wait a sec, what the hay is that over there?"

"I don't know, should we go near it?"

"No! We should go get Twilight or somepony else, it may be dangerous!"

"Come on Sweetie don't be so scared, its just some random creature we found in the Everfree!"

"Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle's got a point, we have no idea what that thing is capable of doin', I think we should go get Twilight."

"It will be find guys, I'll just poke it with a stick, maybe its dead!" The young pony known as Scootaloo ran over to a fallen branch and grabbed it with her mouth. She then ran over to the unconscious man and began to poke his body. The man jolted up right after the third poke and began to look around frantically. The one pony known as Sweetie Belle began to shriek in terror, and the other two began to panic as well.

"Well, that was a delightful nap... where am I again?" the man said to himself, "Oh yeah I was trying to find a town." He looked around the area once more and saw the three young fillies, each having a look of fear resting on their faces.

"Well hi there... ponies..." the man said, looking at them with confusion.

"Howdy there... mister." the one southern pony said.

"Well that's new, I never knew ponies or horses could talk!" the man exclaimed with his voice filled with joy.

"Um, y'all might be new to here then mister, ponies have always been able to talk."

"Really? That's very odd... my allies would ride horses and pegasi into battle, but they never talked." The three fillies starred at the man after he stated that.

"Wait, your people ride ponies into battle?" Sweetie Belle asked him.

"No, horses and pegasi, ponies are much too young for battle."

"What are ya sayin' mister? Ponies can live up to more than a hundred years," the southern pony said.

"Preposterous!" the mage exclaims, "Unless I truly am in a new world where the ponies are the true overlords..."

"I wouldn't say overlords, but we've never seen any creature like yourself before," says Scootaloo, "By the way, instead of calling you creature, do you have a name?"

"The name's Henry! Nice to meet you!" the man says, once more with a joyful voice. The three fillies continued to stare at Henry.

"Well then... Henry... my name's Apple Bloom, these are my two friends Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo." the southern pony, aka Apple Bloom tells him.

"Well then Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, where are we exactly?" Henry asks the three.

"Uh we're in the Everfree Forest, its not the safest place out here," Sweetie Belle replies, "Its would be better if we could... um... talk somewhere else." Henry just nodded and began to follow the three.

"Where are we heading?" Henry question the three friends.

"Where gonna go see Twilight," Scootaloo tells him, "I still think you should see Rainbow Dash first, but the other two think Twilight would be the best choice."

"Ya always want to see Rainbow Dash Scoots," Apple Bloom replies, "We can see her later, right now we should focus on gettin' Henry here to Twilight, she'll probably know what to do."

"This Twilight person sounds interesting, let's go see her!" Henry replies.

"See Scoots, Henry wants to go see 'er, so were gonna take him to 'er."

"Alright Apple Bloom I get it, Twilight will have the scientific answers we need to solve our problems..." With this the three friends lead Henry to his next destination, Princess Twilight's humble abode.

Author's Note

Welp, I just had to make it. Henry is my personal favorite character in Fire Emblem: Awakening, and I have been playing so much of that recently I just needed to write some story involving him, so I hope you enjoyed! Sorry it wasn't the most detailed chapter, it was just to help start off the plot.
