Wind and dark sky. The heralds of the storm.
It was one of these days when everyone wants to stay inside their houses, safe from the whims of nature.
But there was one soul, who couldn't find peace in warm and safety.
Chalenging the storm he rode forth, with the roar of the engine and howling of the wind as his only companions.
He rode ahead at breakneck speed trying to escape the world and his own thoughts.
As the drops of rain started to crash against his face he saw the blinding flash.

.....................................................................................

Light of the sun awoke him. "Owww... My head!"
He was laying on the grass in the middle of the forest.
What happend?
He tried to stand up but stumbled and fell face-first on the grass.
Can't feel my legs...
After a few minutes he sitted down and looked around.
The storm! I was hit by a lighting and crashed into the forest!
He looked around once more.
Where is my motorcycle? And where is the road? It's not possible that I flied that far...
This time he managed to keep balance and stood up. He felt strange but couldn't point what was wrong.
He walked to the nearby pond, then when he reached to get some water his breath stopped.
"WHAT THE!?" He realised that instead of hand his forearm ended with a hoof and his face resembled the snout of a horse, he had grey fur and short black mane.
"Wha... thi... wha..." He lost his consciousness again.

............................................................................................

He woke up in bed covered by white quilt, with a soft pillow under his head. It was only a dream.
"Fhew! I shouldn't drink that much." He felt pain in his back.

Then he realised that he is not in his room.
A hospital?

He heard voice outside. "Nurse! I think he woke up." The door opened and the sight of what entered shocked him to the core. "P-p-pony?" He stammered, staring at the white mare with pink mane, his eye twitching and his mouth agape.

I guess that I hit my head harder than I thought.

"Hello, I'm nurse Redheart and you are in the Ponyville Hospital."

"You are a pony." His brain still refusing to acknowlage what he saw.

"Why yes. Just like you." Answered the mare gigling. "You are still in shock. You were lucky that they found you, Everfree forest is not the best place for a nap."

Looking at his hooves he asked with slightly trembling voice. "Where am I again?"

"Like I said, you are in hospital in Ponyville." She noticed that he still didn't know what she is talking about.
"South-west from Canterloth?" Still nothing.
"Equestria?" He just shook his head.
"I guess that you realy had a rough adventure in that forest."

"How is he nurse?" Asked purple maned lavender mare that just entered the room. He noticed that she had a single horn on her forehead.

"He is still in shock, slightly dehydrated but aside from that he is going to be fine in no time."

Lavender mare walked to the side of his bed. "Hello, my name is Twilight Sparkle and this is Fluttershy." She pointed at the door but nothing was there. "*sigh* Oh Fluttershy come on."

In the doorway first appeared a pink mane, then slowly and cautiously entered a yellow mare with wings thightly pressed against her sides "Um... Hi..." She squeled quietly while hiding her face behind her mane.

He felt weirder and weirder each passing second. Talking ponies? Horns? Wings?
He touched his forehead then looked at his back. Wings. "Eheh... I have wings." He said to himself.

"Well yes, all pegasi have them." Said Twilight looking at the two other mares with slight confusion.
"Soo whats your name?" Twilight continued.

"My name is ... eeee..." His eyes widened in shock. He didn't remember his name.

"Are you alright?"

"I... I don't remember... I don't remember my name..." He looked at three mares in front of him with terror in his eyes. "I'm so confused..."

"It's ok. Take your time." Said nurse patting his back.

"The last thing I remember is riding my motorcycle into the storm, flash, and then nothing. Was it you who brought me here?"

"Yup. Me and Fluttershy. We were on our way to our friend's home in the forest when I felt something strange, we stepped from the path and found you lying unconscious near the pond. We had no idea what happened to you so we brought you here."

"Thank you. I realy doubt that I would get out of this forest now."

"It's nothing realy. Overypony should help ech other."

He tried to get out from the bed, but when his front legs touched the floor he fell on his face.

"Ouch!" The nurse helped him to stand up. "You realy shouldn't leave bed yet."

The three of them looked at him as he straightened himself.
"Ow my... He is almost as big as Macintosh." Pegsus looked at yellow mare.

"What do you mean?"

"You are rather big for a pegasus." Explained Twilight.

"I've always been a tall guy." He smiled then raised his wings and rotated to get better view of them, knocing some bottles from the nearby table. "Sorry. I'm just not used to this body."

Nurse looked at Twilight with confusion on her face but she just raised eyebrow and still looked at pegasus in fornt of her.
"What do you mean by 'Not used to this body'? Are you saying that you were something else before that day?"

He folded his wings and sat on the floor. "Yes. I'm a human... Or at least I was before I got to that forest where you found me."

Nurse slowly walked to Twilight's side. "I think he is suffering from some kind of mental disorder." She wispered to the unicorn.

"No. I think he is telling the truth." She took a step twards the disoriented pegasus. "That would explain the lack of his Cutie Mark."

"My what?"

"A Cutie Mark." She pointed at the mark on her flank. "It appears when somepony discoveres his or hers special talent. Of course it takes a long time. If you have just became a pony then it is unlikely that you would have one."

"Uhuh... I think I understand the concept."

"Besides, when I carried you here, I noticed something I couldn't explain, it appears that you warp magic nearby you."
She concentrated and suddenly he was surrounded by purple aura. The same fenomenon appeared around the horn of the unicorn before him, but he noticed that the one around him starded to flicker. After a moment Twilight broke her spell.
"So you are not from Equestria?"

"Nope, in fact I have never heard about it."

They stood in silence for a moment.

"We need to find out what happened to you. And how to reverse it... But first we need to give you a name until you recall your true one." She looked at him and scrathed her chin. "How about Longwing?"

"Longwing?... Yeah, I gues it would be appropriate. Better than the Clumsywing anyway." He smiled at the nurse.

"We should move to my library. I will check if there is anything about such cases in my books. And you can live there until we find a way to send you back home."

He didn't know what to think. Can I trust them? Hmmm... Not that I have any other choice anyway. "That would be great. Thank you Twilight."

"Are there any counter-indications for Longwing to leave hospital nurse?"

"Not at all. Phisically he is alright and even if something happenes you can teleport him here."

"Can you walk?"

Longwing stood up and slowly made few steps. "I think I'll be alright." They headed towards the exit.

"Thank you for your care miss Redheart."

"It's no problem at all. Take care and good luck with your research."

When he left the building he saw a beautiful town full of ponies of different kinds and colours.
Well, I better get used to it.
